The death of the crown prince made the Yuding Dynasty have to face another serious problem.

Which prince will the emperor choose to become the new prince?

Time.

This has become the focus of attention of the court and the major sects.

After all, a kingdom cannot be without a king for a day.

In particular, the emperor's time is running out, and he will face a large-scale invasion by demons at any time in the future.

Therefore, the Jade Ding Dynasty must decide the successor of the next emperor as soon as possible, so as not to give the demons an opportunity to take advantage of the turmoil in the Jade Ding Dynasty.

The emperor had seventeen sons.

But the ones who are really qualified to inherit the throne are the four princes, the ninth prince and the thirteenth prince.

Because the dead crown prince and the fourth prince were born to the first empress of the emperor of the dynasty, and after the first empress died, the emperor of the dynasty set up the mother concubine of the nine princes and the thirteen princes to become the second empress.

Derogatory.

They are the ones most qualified to inherit the throne.

The other princes were born to concubines, so they were naturally weaker than the four princes.

In addition, the crown prince's position is stable.

So much so that the other princes have no intention of competing for the throne, and they can't fight anyway.

What's more, not all princes have the ambition to become emperor.

For example, the third prince, the sixth prince, the eleventh prince, and the fourteenth prince.

These four princes belong to the princes who are all focused on cultivation.

And the second prince and the fifth prince like to lead troops to fight.

The Seventh and Twelfth Princes were obsessed with leisurely and elegant things.

The Eighth Prince was born ** uninhibited, and he has been traveling outside the mountains and rivers all year round.

The Ten Princes devoted themselves to the study of ancient books, and many scholars inside and outside the court often exchanged and discussed knowledge.

The fifteenth prince and the sixteenth prince are twins.

Each other became the leader of the Demon Suppression Division early.

It is rumored that the two brothers were deliberately planted by the emperor in the eyes of the Demon Suppression Division.

As for the Seventeenth Prince—

Although he is now an adult.

But in the eyes of outsiders.

He was the least qualified person to inherit the throne.

It's nothing more than that his age and qualifications are completely inferior to other princes.

The choice of the prince is not a choice.

The other party not only has to pass the investigation of the emperor and hundreds of officials, but also has to pass the investigation of the major sects.

Only when both sides agree will the choice of the prince be truly decided.

Who will end up with the prince.

Xia Fan didn't pay attention to it at all.

No matter how the imperial city changes, the dark tide surges, he will not move.

......

......

"Wow, it's really the imperial city of the Yuding Dynasty......"

In the bustling street market.

A handsome-looking and unruly young man was strolling down the bustling streets, taking in the look around him with interest.

I don't know how long it took.

He stopped suddenly.

I looked up at the plaque of the building in front of me.

The corners of the mouth unconsciously hooked a good-looking arc.

There's an inn!

"I finally found it. ”

muttered softly.

He strode towards the building.

"Shopkeeper, come to a good room. ”

Step into the lobby and come to the counter.

The young man leaned directly against the counter and casually flicked a standard silver coin at the shopkeeper behind the counter.

"Okay! Guest, please wait!"

The shopkeeper took the silver coin from the young man, and a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Immediately.

The young man was led by Xiao Er to the guest room on the second floor.

"Bring some food and drink for the master, and the extra money will be used as a reward for you." ”

Come to the guest room.

The young man gave an order to Xiao Er, and did not forget to flick a standard silver coin for the other party.

Xiao Er took the silver money and thanked him for leaving.

The young man went to the window, pushed it open with both hands, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Until Xiao Er brought the meals to the guest room.

He turned around and sat down at the table with a big grin and enjoyed the meal.

Knock Knock Knock –

"Please come in!"

As the young man swept away all the food on the table, there was a knock on the door.

He seemed to have expected it.

While wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he said something casually.

Moment.

I saw the shopkeeper I had just seen at the counter push open and enter, behind closing the door.

The other party suddenly saluted respectfully to the lazy young man at the table with a solemn expression.

"Little Huang Dafa see the young master!"

"I think you have received the news in advance about my coming to the Imperial City, I won't say any extra polite words, this time I came to the Imperial City to find someone, I hope to know the whereabouts of this person in the shortest possible time!"

The young man casually took out a jade talisman from his bosom and threw it to the shopkeeper.

"The specific information about that person is in the jade talisman. ”

"Please give the little one a little time, the little one will not disappoint the young master. ”

The shopkeeper took the jade talisman and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, you go down......"

The young man nodded, waving his hand at the shopkeeper.

"Yes......"

The shopkeeper was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, the young man's voice rang out again.

"By the way, do you know where the Red Sleeves Tower is in the Imperial City?"

The young man who stopped the shopkeeper asked casually.

"Huh? this ...... Of course the little ones know ......."

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become a little strange, but this did not delay the shopkeeper telling the young man truthfully.

"Alright, you can go. ”

Get the address of the Red Sleeve Building.

The young man waved the shopkeeper away again.

Leave the room.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's better to be famous than to meet.

This young master is really as romantic as the rumors!

What kind of place is the Red Sleeve Building?!

This is the famous Qinglou in the Imperial City!

Unexpectedly, the young master couldn't wait to go to the Red Sleeve Building soon after he came to the Imperial City.

But he didn't dare to say anything more, so as not to arouse the young master's disgust.

When night falls.

The young man had already swaggered out of the inn and went directly to the Red Sleeve Building according to the address given by the shopkeeper.

The Imperial City is just as lively at night.

Not to mention a place like the Qinglou Goolan Fence.

It was obviously not the first time that the young man had come to a place like the Qinglou, and he was familiar with the road as if he had returned to his own home.

It didn't take long.

Staying in the first-class box, he was already surrounded by warblers and swallows.

The young man was a little profligate and played large-scale games with the girls.

Until midnight.

The young man was already lying on the bed, and in his arms meant a beautiful girl in a deep sleep.

Suddenly.

The young man opens his eyes in the dark.

He reached out and stroked the delicate white cheeks of the person next to him, and then got up and dressed without an expression.

"Childe, are you finally willing to come to see the slave family?"

When the young man came to the table, he just sat down.

A charming voice sounded in my ears.

"Xue Rong, my heart is thinking about you all the time, you see, I can't wait to see you soon after I came to the Imperial City. ”

The young man suddenly opened his hand.

A delicate and soft figure fell lightly into the young man's arms.

The young man hugged the lovely child in his arms tightly and said in an extremely gentle tone.

"Hehe, does Childe think that the slave family doesn't know? If Childe doesn't come to the Imperial City for any important matter, I'm afraid that the slave family will never see Childe again in this life. ”

The lovely man in his arms covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Xue Rong, my feelings for you can be seen by the sun and the moon! How can you doubt my heart for you?!"

The young man was emotional.

"How does the boy explain the sister in the bed?"

The lovely person named Xue Rong suddenly smiled.

"Me and her are just playing on the spot, if it weren't for that, Xue Rong probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to show up to see me. ”

The young man sighed softly.

"Don't think that the old lady doesn't know your temperament!"

Xue Rong snorted.

Stretching out the snow-white soft wattle, he pretended to be fierce and kneaded the young man's face vigorously.

"Oops! Pain, pain, Xue Rong! I know I was wrong!"

The young man quickly bared his teeth and grinned.

"Then again, why did Childe suddenly come to the Imperial City? Do you know that the Imperial City is a whirlpool now. ”

Xue Rong let go and pinched the young man's face, and her slender fingers slowly slid gently from his lips all the way to his chest.

"So what?"

The young man understated disappreciatively.

"Have you forgotten how Childe broke out back then?"

"Of course the slave family believes in Gongzi! But after all, the imperial city of the Yuding Dynasty is hidden in the dragon and crouching tiger, and it is far from being as simple as Gongzi imagined. ”

Xue Rong looked at the heroic face of the young man in front of him with a stupid expression.

Nian Fan.

There is no surname.

Only the first name.

That's what young men are called.

His origin and identity are very mysterious.

Anyone who knows about him only knows that he was born in Nanlizhou.

A confidante of a young man.

Xue Rong naturally knows a lot about his past.

He is a dashing and uninhibited prodigal son, and he is also a peerless sword cultivator.

Over the years, he has fought the world.

There are many demons who have died under his sword, and even many human cultivators have become the souls of the dead under his sword.

I have acted all my life without having to explain it to others.

That's the best label to describe a young man.

At that time, Dongmingzhou was goodbye.

Xue Rong thought that she would never see each other again in her life.

I didn't think that many years had passed.

They will reunite with each other in the Imperial City.

This was a pleasant surprise and a surprise.

"Don't worry, I came to the imperial city of the Jade Ding Dynasty this time mainly to find someone, and I won't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong. ”

The young man chuckled.

"The slave family is very curious, what kind of person is worthy of the prince to go to Zhongzhou to find it. ”

Xue Rong said with a puzzled face.

"Who else could there be? Of course, it's the old man I've never met!"

The young man shrugged.

"Huh?!"

When Xue Rong heard this, her eyes widened, and her eyes were full of incredulity.

"Childe came to the Imperial City to find your father?"

"I don't know if my irresponsible dad is in this imperial city, but my uncles seem to have received some news, and then hurriedly asked me to come here to look for it. ”

The young man pouted.

"Then why didn't your aunts come in person?"

Xue Rong said strangely.

"I heard my aunts and uncles say that if my father wanted to see them, they would have seen them a long time ago, and if they took the initiative to look for my father, with my father's great powers, he didn't want to see them, I'm afraid they would never want to find my father for the rest of their lives, so I could only let my face come forward to look for it. ”

The young man said helplessly.

"Childe, do you need Xue Rong's help? Xue Rong still has a lot of eyeliner in the Imperial City. ”

Xue Rong frowned and said.

"Of course, it would be better if there was Xue Rong's help! ”

The young man laughed.

After speaking.

As if he had already prepared, he turned his hand and conjured a jade talisman and stuffed it into Xue Rong's arms.

"Now, all the information about him is in it. ”

“...... Hmph! The slave family suddenly felt that Childe came to the Red Sleeve Building this time to let Xue Rong help you. ”

Xue Rong was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at the young man with suspicious eyes.

"Hahaha! How could it be, baby, I know that I have always put you first in my heart!"

The young man immediately kissed Xue Rong's delicate lips and said.

"Anyway, we haven't been intimate in a long time, baby, it's been a long night, we might as well do something interesting!"

When the sky is shining.

Xue Rong got up from the bed lazily, and there was no longer the figure of the young man beside him, only the smell of the other party remained on the pillow.

"Childe's father...... Looks like I need to report back to Miss. ”

Come to the dresser.

Xue Rong rubbed the jade talisman in his hand and fell into deep thought.

She had heard the young man say that he had a father.

But his father is more mysterious than himself.

Even he didn't know much about his father.

For he had heard about his father from his own aunt and uncle.

"Xia Fan's ......"

Yes.

This was the name of the young man's father.

"Young Master, the people you want to find are all recorded in this jade talisman. ”

The shopkeeper is very efficient.

The young man's third day at the inn.

The other party handed a jade talisman to the young man.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll leave the rest to myself. ”

The young man took the jade talisman and nodded with satisfaction to the shopkeeper.

"Yes, young master, the little one won't bother the young master!"

The shopkeeper didn't say much, and just quit and left.

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect that there are as many as sixty or seventy people with the same name and surname as my father in the imperial city, it seems that it will take some time and effort!"

glanced at the relevant information recorded in the jade pendant.

The young man couldn't help but smack his lips.

He had always remembered the warnings of his aunts before leaving.

His dad likes to play incognito games the most.

Maybe the beggar on the side of the road might be his father.

As for why the uncles and aunts are sure that Daddy will not change his name, sit or change his surname?!

Probably because his father never liked to hide his head and show his tail.

If people recognize it, they will recognize it.

Anyway, the other party can't do anything about him.

"Hmm, which one to start looking for? Looks like I'm going to need to sift through it. ”

Instead of choosing to search one by one, the young man chose to pick out the key objects of suspicion so as not to waste time.
