Beiping Yan Wangfu, that is, the Yuan Dadu Palace, Yan Wang Zhu Di divided Beiping to pick up a cheap, the palace is the largest among the many brothers, the King of Jin is often envious, his Jin Wangfu has gone through several generations, each generation of the King of Jin is expanding the construction of the palace, this reason is also the root of the disease left by the first generation of Jin Wang. It's a pity that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, somehow there was a fire, and the Jin Palace, which was built with the painstaking efforts of several generations, disappeared in the long river of history.

Xu Chuan walked through the streets of Beiping, and his consciousness swept and he really walked on this land in history, which were two feelings.

"Second brother, this is Beiping, it's the first time I've been here, you've followed your father two or three times." Xia Yuhe said happily on the side.

Xu Chuan used a little trick, and she no longer had any memory of the White Lotus Sect.

Xu Chuan smiled.

He didn't have an entourage, and the gifts were empty-handed, Han Luo'er didn't come with him because she was pregnant, and it was Xia Yuhe who came with him, Xia Yuhe prepared a lot of generous gifts, and he was accompanied by the envoy of the Jin Palace.

"Second son, third miss, we don't need to stay in the city, although it is enough to go to the palace of King Yan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has already written a letter to inform His Royal Highness King Yan." The envoy of the Jin Palace's name is Hu De, who is sleek and the most sociable, and along the way, Hu De also "takes care" of Xu Chuan and Xia Yuhe very well.

Although Xia Jin is just a talent with no official status, he is a celebrity of His Royal Highness King Jin, this is a political privilege, and Hu De has to stutter a little.

Xu Chuan and Xia Yuhe naturally did not object.

The group came to the door of the Yan Wangfu, tomorrow is the birthday of Princess Yan, but today is already a lantern, guests from all walks of life sent a prayer post, including many officials from all walks of life on the ground in Beiping, the battle was really a long line to the opposite side of the street, with the identity of Xia Jin and Xia Yuhe, if they came alone, they would have to wait until the evening to have the opportunity to send the worship post in, fortunately they did not come alone, Hu De stepped forward to identify himself, and the guard in front of the door, who was not a bird matter, suddenly changed his expression.

It's no wonder that his eyes are above the top, there are still seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention that he, the prince's doorman, is a big man on the ground in Beiping, and he doesn't care much.

But this is the envoy of the Jin Palace, it is different, the King of Jin is the third brother of the King of Yan, and the elder brother celebrates the birthday of his younger brother and sister, which is extraordinary in itself, and half of it is still on the face of the Xu family, the king of Zhongshan in Princess Yan's mother's family, how dare he slack off.

After a while, a white-faced, tall internal official and a stocky, fat young man walked over, the fat young man held Hood's greeting post, and two guards with considerable strength beside him walked out, and under the guidance of the guard, he immediately walked up to Hood, Xia Jin and Xia Yuhe, crossed his hands, and said:

"But the third uncle's subordinate Lord Hu?"

"It's the lower official, dare to ask His Royal Highness which son is it?" Hu De bowed his hand, although he saw that this fat young man was not amazing, but his bearing was extraordinary, and he was also called the third uncle of King Jin, that is, the descendant of King Yan, how dare he slack off.

"This is the eldest son of His Royal Highness King Yan, Prince Gao Chi." The white-faced, tall insider on the side spoke.

"Ah, it turned out to be the eldest prince." Hood hurriedly bowed again.

"No courtesy, Master Hu, this is the second son of Xia." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, but his eyes looked at Xu Chuan on the side.

Xu Chuan just looked at Zhu Gaochi, who is now just a seventeen-year-old boy, but his demeanor and speech are without the impatience of a young man, and he is calm and unhurried, which is indeed rare.

Without waiting for Hu De's introduction, Xu Chuan had already stepped forward and said: "Gongzi Huiyan, in Xia Jin, this is the sister Yuhe." ”

"I've seen the eldest prince." Xia Yuhe also bowed.

Zhu Gaochi took a step forward, helped Xu Chuan up, his chubby hand held Xu Chuan's arm, and Yin Yin said enthusiastically: "The third uncle mentioned Brother Wen Ning several times in his letter, and praised Brother Wen Ning like a celestial. ”

Xu Chuan smiled slightly, but he was not polite, and walked in with Zhu Gaochi.

The people standing far away outside all looked sideways, and they could make the eldest prince of Yan treat him so politely, and they didn't know who this was.

And the white face who followed Zhu Gaochi looked at Xu Chuan, although he felt that the other party seemed a little unreasonable, but he couldn't help but have a good impression of the other party.

"Could it be that this is what Master said about good appearance?"

They walked into the Yan Palace, since they came to celebrate Princess Yan's birthday, they naturally had to meet the princess first. This guest is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, if it is an ordinary guest, leave a post to remember a name, send a congratulatory gift, tomorrow when the banquet will naturally have you a seat, speaking of which is also in the Yan Wangfu has eaten, as for the reception, Yan Wang and the princess are too lazy to see.

However, Xu Chuan and others are naturally different.

Bypassing a few corridors, a stage has been set up in front of the palace, in ancient times, this stage is almost an indispensable repertoire, Xu Chuan also enjoyed the scenery of this Yan Wangfu all the way.

After a while, they came to a palace in front of a pavilion, there was a gray-robed official waiting in front of the pavilion, they just came, the door of the palace just opened, a tall figure in a python dragon robe and a graceful, dignified beauty accompanied by a man and a woman sent out.

The man was dressed in brocade robes, and the woman was also quite attractive, and after saluting the king and princess, he turned and left.

As soon as he turned around, the man saw that Xu Chuan's face remained unchanged, but when he saw Xia Yuhe, his expression moved slightly, but he then subtly pressed it down.

Leave into the distance.

"Second brother, who are these two?" Xia Yuhe asked in a low voice, "It seems that the identity is not small." ”

Xu Chuan didn't speak, but Hu De on the side said softly: "I know that man, it is Wei Silkworm, a student of Guozijian, who is filial piety and integrity, and is the proud protégé of Huang Zicheng, the teacher of the emperor's eldest grandson, he is originally from Beiping, and he may have returned to his hometown to visit relatives recently." As for the woman, she should be his insider. ”

"Guozijian students?" Xia Yuhe glared.

A student of Guozijian was able to see His Royal Highness King Yan and asked His Royal Highness King Yan to send him off.

Hood smiled and didn't say much.

For example, everyone knows that the emperor will pass on the throne to the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen in the future, and Huang Zicheng will be the emperor's teacher at that time.

Of course, these words could not be said in front of Zhu Gaochi, and they walked up to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the princess, and saluted at the same time.

Xia Yuhe naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Hu De was also well-behaved, and several people entered the palace and took their seats, and King Yan and Princess Xu expressed their gratitude to King Jin.

"Sanbao, take Master Hu and Miss Xia down to rest." Zhu Di waved his hand.

"The slave obeys." The tall, white-faced and bearded officer bowed down.

"Resignation." Hu De saluted, glanced at Xia Jin, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, and said in his heart, His Royal Highness King Yan had something to say to this second son of Xia, although he was envious, he didn't dare to stay longer, and turned around.

In the palace, only Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the princess Xu, Zhu Gaochi, and the internal officials outside the palace were left.

"You are the second son of Xia." Yan Wang Zhu Di looked at Xu Chuan, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

"Exactly down there." Xu Chuan didn't get up either, nodded and smiled.

Zhu Gaochi and Princess Xu glanced at each other, obviously the person in front of them was very rude, but they couldn't get angry, but felt that they should take it for granted.

Zhu Di took out a letter from his sleeve, the letter was signed by King Jin, Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin said in the letter, there is a rebel party of the White Lotus Sect who wants to murder Gu? Only you can protect yourself. ”

"Yes." Xu Chuan nodded again.

"Hmph, joke, sitting alone in Beiping, sometimes leading troops to go out on expeditions, I don't know how many people want to murder Lone, he is a little White Lotus Sect, a generation of mosquitoes and flies, and he also wants to kill Lone? Though they came, they wanted to see what they could do. Zhu Di sneered.

Xu Chuan smiled without saying a word, lightly picked up the tea on the table, plucked the tea foam with the tea lid, and took a sip.

Well, good tea, I remember that when Emperor Xia cherished it and took out a piece of tea for him to drink, that feeling...

Yan Wang Zhu Di, Princess Xu, and Zhu Gaochi's family watched.

Zhu Di's brows furrowed, and Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to speak.

Princess Xu blinked, if the second son of Xia in front of him tried his best to explain, it might be really a god, but this style.

"Lord Wang, since this matter is a letter from the third uncle, you might as well believe it last time, since he said that he was protecting us, let's wait and see what happens." Xu said in a low voice.

Concubine Xu was born in Zhongshan Palace, she has been smart since she was a child, Zhu Di loves this princess even more, and she also trusts what she says, Zhu Di listened, the look on his face relaxed, and he glanced at Xu Chuan's demeanor.

Although he didn't believe that the White Lotus Sect could murder him in his heart, it was indeed his third brother who sent a letter, so he could only say: "Okay, then bother the second son of Xia to bother more for this king, if it really responds to what the second son of Xia said that someone is harmful, it doesn't matter if the second son preserves it, and it is grateful to save my beloved concubine and heir." ”

Emperor Yongle is also a man of temperament, he is not afraid of life and death, but his family can't have anything to do.

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded.

"Well said."

……

In a guest room in Yanwang's Mansion.

Wei Silkworm and his wife sat at a table with a wooden box containing an earthy yellow worm.

"Are you sure that the woman you saw today is the holy woman under Senior Brother Qi Huan?" Wei Silkworm frowned.

"Hmm. Senior Brother Qi Huan and I planned the Great Time of King Yan, and I had a relationship with him, but at that time, I taught the Dafa of Soul Snatching in this girl's body, and now it seems that she has returned to normal. The lady nodded.

"I inquired, those three people are the envoy of the Jin Wangfu and Xia Jin, the second son of the Xia family from Shanxi, and the third lady Xia Yuhe, the identity is right, Xia Jin? I heard that Senior Brother Qi Huan's foundation in Taiyuan Mansion was all damaged by Xia Jin alone. Wei Silkworm frowned and said, "This time he came to this Yanwang Mansion again......"

"Senior Brother Wei doesn't need to worry too much about him, he is just a scholar left and right, and I will hold the two heavy treasures given by the ancestor this time, so why be afraid." The lady smirked.

"Reasonable." Wei silkworm also smiled, just after the afternoon, the sunset reflected in from the windowsill, Wei silkworm looked at the "lady" in front of him, the latter smiled coquettishly as if it was particularly charming, Wei silkworm suddenly stretched out his hand, and took this "lady" into his arms.

"You don't need to worry about other things, the junior sister and the senior brother should first explore the way of complementarity between yin and yang."

"Senior Brother Wei..."

The lady exclaimed, as if she didn't expect that the senior brother who was serious one moment ago would become a hungry wolf who eats people the next moment, but in turn it turned into a silver bell-like laughter, and catered to,

The long-yellowed worm in the box on the table seemed to be writhing frantically when it heard the movement outside.

……

And on the other side.

Xu Chuan, Xia Yuhe, and Hu De are going to the banquet, and the people who are attending the banquet are Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaochi is seventeen years old this year, extremely mature, but Zhu Gaochu is the opposite, only fifteen years old, he is like an energetic leopard, seven feet tall, with straight eyebrows, and he wants to have the upper hand in performance everywhere.

As for Zhu Gaosui, he is like a follower, following the second brother Zhu Gaoxu, among the three brothers, he is the most unassertive.

"Come, Brother Wen Ning, Miss Xia, I'll toast you two more." Zhu Gaoxu raised his glass and said.

"Second brother, drink less." Zhu Gaochi dissuaded. He has already said that his father attaches great importance to this second son of Xia, and the second brother is still so arrogant that he calls him by the word.

"That's how much, and then tomorrow is our mother's birthday, you still care about me." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and his eyes kept staring at Xia Yuhe.

Xia Yuhe's gaze was sometimes dodgy, but he was not ashamed.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to let him go.

Xu Chuan also smiled and raised his glass.

"Come, the lower official and the son will drink together." Hood said in a hurry.

The feast did not disperse until nightfall.

The subordinates took Xu Chuan and Xia Yuhe to the outside of the two guest rooms, it was not cold at this time, but a small stove had been placed in the guest room to dispel the tide.

"Little sister, rest early."

"Second brother." Xia Yuhe suddenly stopped Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan paused and looked back at his little sister.

Xia Yuhe bit his teeth lightly and said softly: "Second brother, the eldest brother has an accident, it's good to have you in our family." ”

As soon as the words fell, she turned around and ran into the room, it seemed that she had drunk wine in the palace today, which made this little girl feel a lot of emotion.

Xu Chuan shook his head, if you knew that the eldest brother died in your hands, I don't know what you would think.

"White Lotus Sect, that Wei Silkworm and his wife can't be detected by my divine sense, according to what Yuhe said, the White Lotus Sect is bound to win against King Yan, and they are the ones who sent it?" A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes.

……

At dawn the next day, the Yanwang Mansion became noisy.

The system of kings, descending to the first class of the Son of Heaven.

In other words, the prince's honor guard is only slightly inferior to the emperor, and King Yan favors the princess Xu, and this pomp is only a little lower than him, so the momentum and grandeur of this birthday banquet can be imagined.

The small eunuchs and small palace maids in the palace shuttled back and forth, and the whole birthday banquet was in full swing, Xu Chuan and Xia Yuhe, and Hu De sat on the wine table closest to King Yan and his wife, and more than a dozen tables of wine banquets were also arranged here, of course, people from all walks of life who were close to the palace were eligible to be invited here, and they were not as close as Xu Chuan and others.

King Yan held a birthday for his wife, and seemed to be happier than himself. He watched his sons and sons-in-law send congratulatory gifts, it was peaceful and lively, and the guards patrolling back and forth were also in order, where there was the slightest sign of assassination.

He glanced at the approaching Xu Chuan and couldn't help but snort secretly.

"When did the third brother also have the problem of being suspicious."

Indeed, some of his brothers believed in God and demons.

"Assassination? Murdered? Who would dare? ”

……

Zhu Gaosui was young, and after eating two bites, he went to the side to play, but a beautiful woman walked in front of him, Zhu Gaosui looked at her, and only felt that everything in front of him was gone, and only this beautiful woman remained.

The glamorous woman smiled and handed a long box to Zhu Gaosui.

……

Wei Silkworm looked at the scene in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, today next year will be your death day."

……

on the table.

"Father." Zhu Gaosui came over waving a long box and said with a smile: "There is a treasure to offer." ”

On weekdays, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is very serious about his son. The three sons were all unsmiling in front of him, and Zhu Gaosui's appearance today made him feel a little abnormal, but after all, it was the princess's big day, Zhu Di didn't think much about it, looked at the long box in Zhu Gaosui's hand, and laughed: "What treasure do my sons want to offer, bring it to me and take a look." ”

Zhu Gaosui smiled and approached step by step, walking to a distance of only one step away from King Yan, suddenly his pace increased suddenly, and a short blade popped out on the box in his hand, and the guests on the side of the short blade couldn't see clearly, but Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Princess Xu, and the eunuchs and officials around him saw it clearly, and they were all shocked.

But this distance is too close, so close that King Yan can't avoid it. Yan Wang Zhu Di never thought that his son would kill him, let alone that someone would assassinate him in such a scene!

was really a prophecy by the third brother! But is there anyone else who can save him at this moment?

"I'm dying!"

Disheveled.

Zhu Gaosui, who rushed forward, suddenly fell into a person's arms, and the box in his hand was also in that person's arms, no more than a foot away from King Yan!

"Third son, be careful, don't fall."

The sound of chuckling came, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the princess Xu, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi and the second son Zhu Gaoxu, as well as Wei Silkworm in the distance and the beautiful woman sitting at the woman's table all watched this scene fixedly.

That's Xia Jin, Xia Wenning!
