The night is over.

When the morning sun shines on the vast sea, Luming Harbor is already bustling, and the ships and soldiers belonging to the Imperial Navy's Dragon Regiment are in practice.

In the command building, Liu Fengdu was sitting upright in front of a large command platform, his eyes staring at the map of the empire's territory in front of him, the golden bottle in his hand poured a glass of Bihu wine, while his hand was hanging in the air for a long time, obviously in contemplation.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, a glass of cool wine into his stomach, he exhaled a long breath, and his expression was a little leisurely, as if he was savoring the taste just now.

"Did you come to me before dawn to drink?"

A slightly disrespectful voice came in from outside, but Liu Fengdu didn't care, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if with the person who said this, he also became a little more smiling and relaxed.

Mu Dongye walked in.

"I don't have much wine, and if you drink it again, it will be gone. Mu Dongye saw that Liu Fengdu poured another full cup, and said with a heartache.

Liu Fengdu said with a smile: "It's strange to say, I don't want to go when someone wants to invite me to drink, and I want to drink his wine if someone doesn't want to invite, but then again, it's only with you that I drink the most comfortably." ”

Mu Dongye snatched the wine jug over, poured himself a full glass, and said meaningfully: "Then your habit is going to change, the person who can invite you to drink shows that he has carefully prepared for you, and the person who does not invite is likely to have no wine himself." ”

Liu Fengdu's smile was even stronger, but it was a little more complicated, he touched a glass to Mu Dongye, and drank the wine in the cup.

Mu Dongye had a faint smile on his elegant and heroic face, and said: "Although the wine is delicious, just don't be greedy, I don't want to send you back drunk early in the morning and end up with a crime of drinking and making mistakes." ”

Liu Fengdu showed a wry smile in his complicated expression, and said, "If there is really a wine that can make me drunk, then I can't ask for it." ”

Mu Dongye looked at the noble and prominent Imperial Crown Prince in front of him, stared into his eyes and said: "With your strength, there is naturally no wine in this world that can make you drunk, but if you are drunk in your heart, then any wine can make you drunk for a long time." ”

Liufengdu will never show such true feelings in front of outsiders, and only in front of close friends who have known each other since childhood will he show a different side from usual.

Liu Fengdu stared at Mu Dongye's eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Don't talk about this, is there any place for delay in the warship and weapon arsenal this time?"

Mu Dongye said: "The matter of weapon theft is still on the cusp of the storm, with you personally supervising it, who would dare to cause more trouble, and the recruits who have been supplemented are also basically trained, but they still need to be on the battlefield before they can become real warriors." ”

Liu Fengdu said: "That's good, the Sea Clan has a new movement on the other side of the Cangliu Strait, maybe there will be a war soon." ”

"Oh, is it?" Mu Dongye's eyes were a little blank, and he asked thoughtfully.

"With the spy to report ......"

Liu Fengdu didn't finish speaking, and looked outside at the same time as Mu Dongye.

"Come in and talk about it. Before anyone could report it, Liu Fengdu had already spoken first, and seemed to be a little impatient.

Xu Lai walked in, and there was a handsome young man who came in with him, who was Liu Fengyi.

Liu Fengdu was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Fengyi, and then he was overjoyed, got up and patted Liu Fengyi's shoulder, and his joy was beyond words.

Liu Fengyi took a step back and saluted with his fists, "I've seen the eldest brother." ”

"There is no need to be polite between you and my brother, let's call me big brother as before. Liufengdu said.

Liu Fengyi nodded.

Liu Fengdu looked at the young man he hadn't seen for a long time, and said, "The fourth brother came out of the Shenwu Hall this time?"

Liu Fengyi said lightly: "It's a little successful, but fortunately, it didn't insult the prestige of the Golden Dragon bloodline and the entrustment of my father." ”

Liu Fengdu retracted his gaze, as if he had just realized that the young man in front of him was no longer the emotional appearance of his childhood, and now Liu Fengyi is not only cold and arrogant, but also has the high hopes of the royal martial arts genius.

Liufengdu said with a slight depression: "Excellent." ”

Then Liu Fengdu smiled and said to Liu Fengyi: "It seems that it won't be long before the top ten rankings of the Imperial Storm List will be rearranged because of the fourth brother." ”

Liu Fengyi said with a smile: "Although that layer of the realm is close at hand, it is not easy to break through, and I don't plan to break this barrier for the time being, before that, I will hone the martial arts to be more mellow, and lay the foundation for the future martial arts road, the Holy Ancestor once said that the holy realm is not the end of the martial arts, I firmly believe in this, I yearn for that world." ”

Liu Fengyi's gaze became distant, as if he was recalling the figure of Emperor Shenwu.

Liu Fengdu said: "Since he is back, does the fourth brother have any plans for peace in the future?"

Liu Fengyi said indifferently: "After I go back to see my father, I plan to go to the emperor's tomb to get a good sword, after all, this sword is still a little unlucky." Flowing Maple Wing took the long sword he was carrying behind his back and rubbed it for a moment, "Then go to the lava valley at the southern end. ”

Then, Liu Fengyi said: "In this life, I only wish to be able to catch up with the footsteps of my ancestors in the martial arts, and as for the rest, I have no intention of fighting. He took a deep look at Liu Fengdu, and arched his hand: "But since he has inherited the bloodline of the imperial family, the eldest brother is the prince of the empire, and if he has something to use me on the road to inherit the throne in the future, he will definitely do his best to help." ”

Liu Fengdu sighed, with both relief and a faint loss, stretched out his hand to gently support Liu Fengyi, and nodded.

Mu Dongye showed a sunny smile and looked at Liu Fengyi, "The four princes not only have unmatched martial arts talents, but also have a lofty state of mind, which is also admirable. ”

Liu Fengyi's heroic and cold face smiled and replied: "How did General Mu learn these flattering words, others say that you use soldiers like a god, this is true, I said goodbye as a child, and when I met again today, I found that they all seemed to ignore one thing, General Mu's strength is also unforgettable, and the high level of martial arts talent and the people at the top of the list do not accept much." ”

Mu Dongye just smiled and was noncommittal.

Liu Fengyi suddenly changed his words and said: "I returned to the imperial capital this time, and I just happened to encounter the big brother's dark blade and a suspicious person, and I was unintentionally afraid that I had done some tricks to add to the snake, this time I came with Xu Lai for this matter, and the brotherhood can be recounted in the future, and I can't delay the business." ”

Liu Fengdu smiled: "I was so happy to see the fourth brother, I almost forgot about it." ”

Xu Lai told the whole thing last night in detail.

There was a chill in Liu Fengdu's eyes, and he said: "It's not a pity for the superintendent to die, the matter of the arsenal must be inseparable from them, just use the hands of others to get rid of it, and it will also save our hands from dirty." He sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect Jingyang to do such a thing with them." ”

Mu Dongye said: "General Jingyang was also a great feather back then, killing countless sea tribes, and we also listened to orders under his account when we first joined the army, and now this kind of thing is really regrettable, maybe there is something unknown in it." ”

Liu Fengdu groaned: "Let the Dark Blade secretly go to the Jingyang family to investigate and see if you can find out something." ”

Xu said: "The old decay received the order, and there is also a sea clan, although he is not angry, but he is bent on death, and he is sealed by the old decay, and he is still hanging for a breath for the time being. ”

"I'll leave it to Yuxu for interrogation to see if I can ask something useful. Liu Feng Du pondered for a moment, "Since the Sea Clan came up from the canal, it is very likely that the Sea Clan has a secret passage in the canal, and it is very likely that the Sea Clan will have a secret passage in the canal, and send people to the bottom of the river to search carefully, even if the bottom of the river is turned upside down, no clues can be missed." ”

Xu Lai's expression was solemn, and he said: "However, the person who was pierced through the heart by the sword of the four princes did not know what happened in the end, it is likely that they secretly ambushed someone to rescue him, although the old man and the four princes were not nearby at that time, but to be able to avoid us so unconsciously to do this, that person's strength is only afraid that it is not below me." ”

Liu Fengdu and Mu Dongye glanced at each other, and saw doubts in each other's eyes, they both knew Xu Lai's strength, and there were not many people whose strength was not below him in the entire empire, but among the people who would help the people behind the scenes, they really couldn't guess who it was.

"Is the person who was seriously injured by the fourth brother sure that he was the one who pierced his teeth?" asked Liu Fengdu with a squint.

They all knew that the piercing teeth were the killers raised by the second prince of the empire, Liu Fengyuan.

Xu Lai paused and said cautiously: "Although I didn't finally capture that person, with the ability of the dark blade, I can't think of anything wrong." ”

Liu Fengdu thought about it for a long time, knowing that the matter had come to this point, and it would be useless to let Xu Lai stay, so he went down to arrange what he had just explained.

And Liu Fengyi also said goodbye to Liu Fengdu, and the two brothers said goodbye in a few years, but they said goodbye in a hurry.

Watching the back of Liu Fengyi from the command building, Liu Fengdu was a little lost, he felt that he was no longer a teenager when he was a child, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't say what had changed, he smiled abruptly.

Mu Dongye walked up to him, "I'm afraid that the four princes' future martial arts achievements will be unmatched." ”

Liu Fengdu just said lightly: "Yes." ”

"What do you think of last night's events?" asked Liufengdu suddenly.

"This matter seems to be almost revealed by the other party, but if you think about the whole thing from beginning to end, you will find that the other party has planned very carefully, and even this series of events is likely to be in their plan, people like Jingyang can also be used by them, which shows that their means are not simple, and even if the Sea Clan can reveal something, but the Sea Clan and the Empire are mortal enemies, their words cannot be used as evidence except that we will believe it, that is to say, whether the Sea Clan says or not will not have much impact on the outcome of the whole incident, maybe only the appearance of the Four Princes is an accident, but the most critical person still failed to fall into our hands in the end, so we still don't get anything, even if you have doubts about the individual and can be human, there is still no way, it is just a game between the two sides, and no one can take advantage of it. ”

Liu Fengdu sighed, yes, he also has helpless people, and there is more than one.

Mu Dongye glanced at Liufengdu, who was a little lonely, "Actually, you know what I said, you are just a little unwilling." ”

"We still have one last hope. ”

Mu Dongye said: "You mean Liu Fengce, but until now he still bears all the blame. ”

Liu Fengdu said: "But I can't give up until the end, I want to interrogate him personally, are you willing to go with you?"

Mu Dongye was silent and thought for a long time, "If it is ordered by the eldest prince, I will naturally not disobey the order, if it is a friend's request, you should understand that it will not be beneficial to us." He glanced at Liufengdu, "And their purpose has not been achieved. ”

Of course, Liu Fengdu understands that the whole incident is for the attack of the Sea Clan in the West Sea, and the real purpose is Liu Fengdu himself, but until now Liu Fengdu is safe and sound. And the other party wanted to tell Liufeng that the matter had passed, hoping to calm his anger with a Liufeng strategy.

From Mu Dongye's point of view, as a courtier, he should naturally stay away from the whirlpool of imperial disputes, otherwise the two will fight, and there may be many people who will die in the future.

These Liufengdu don't know, but since the last time the Star Orbit Yao Sun Great Star Master said that the power of the tide has begun to change, and after seeing the bronze giant on the top of the Heaven Sacrifice Tower, which indicates the luck of all forces in the empire, Liufengdu knows that the future of the empire in the near future is not as calm as it seems, and he can't predict the future development, he just wants to reduce some uncontrollable odds for the empire when he can.

Liu Fengdu didn't tell Mu Dongye about this, although the two were close friends who talked about everything, but he couldn't tell him about the future of the empire, as Mu Dongye said just now, it was good for them.

Liufengdu left, alone, with melancholy.
