Chapter 145: The Fallen Prince
"Master Sun, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. β
After a while, with the sound of footsteps, Steward Liu's voice came, "The prince has ordered someone to prepare a banquet and wait for you in the hall, you can come with me." β
"The prince is really too polite. Sun Rui responded politely, "The carriage is filled with gifts for the prince." Saying that, in order to show that there was nothing hidden, he took the initiative to grab ahead of the palace guards and open the door curtains that blocked the door, so that the guards on both sides of the mansion could see more clearly.
"Hmm. β
The two guards glanced at it slightly, and saw that the carriage was empty, so they didn't enter the inspection, after all, Sun Rui was the one who came out to greet Steward Liu personally, and stated that the prince had prepared a banquet, and they were embarrassed to check too carefully, which would break Steward Liu's face.
The carriage shook, the wheels rolled forward, Xu Feng fell down lightly, sat on the thick demon beast fur cushion, and swaggered into the mansion of the eighth prince with the carriage.
Xu Feng exuded the true yuan power, and realized that there were no masters within a radius of dozens of meters, and the scene of strict guards in his imagination was completely different.
"Strange, no matter what, this is also a prince's mansion, how can it be so lax?"
Xu Feng frowned, a little strange, his true yuan power emanated, and the surrounding scenery was vivid, as if he saw it with his eyes, and even a few insects within a few meters deep in the ground could feel it.
His body moved slightly, and he floated out of the carriage unconsciously, hiding behind a wide tree, all of which was not noticed by the three people walking in front.
The palace is built very beautifully, with pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, showing luxury, and it is worthy of being the place where the prince lives. Xu Feng's body, about a few inches from the ground, was suspended, following the three people in front of him, walking all the way forward.
Along the way, except for the occasional sight of a few subordinates, there were no patrols and guards at all, not only Xu Feng felt strange, but even Sun Rui was constantly looking left and right, and for a while felt that this time he came, compared with before, it seemed that there was something missing.
After walking the kung fu of the small half-pillar incense, a hall of hundreds of square meters in size, with green tiles and black eaves, and an atmospheric style, appeared in front of everyone.
From a distance, Xu Feng saw a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, a slightly thin figure, and a little haggard between his eyebrows, standing at the door of the hall, far away, and said loudly: "Master Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time!
"Lord Wang?" Sun Rui was startled, threw off Sun Gang and Steward Liu, took three steps and made two steps, and after coming to a distance of about two meters from the middle-aged man, he stopped and said respectfully: "The prince actually made a special trip to wait for Sun Rui at the door, this is really tormenting Sun Rui!" He rubbed his hands, his face was incredulous, he never thought that the extremely arrogant eighth prince would unexpectedly wait for him at the door.
"Hahahaha, the head of the Sun family has come all the way here, and he is a guest from afar, so I should be waiting for you outside. The eighth prince laughed, walked down quickly, looked at Sun Rui carefully, and sighed: "Master Sun, you and I haven't seen each other for five years, right?
"Lord Wang is really joking, you look so good, how do you look like you're in your forties? Standing with you, I'm like I'm fifty years old!" Sun Rui said with flattery in his mouth.
"Hehe, you, you. They will say nice things to make me happy. The eighth prince was extremely affectionate to Sun Rui, he took Sun Rui's hand and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, I've prepared a banquet, let's go in and talk while eating." β
Seeing that the prince of the Great Yuan Kingdom was so polite to Sun Rui, Sun Gang's heart couldn't help but feel a little proud, he straightened his chest, followed behind, and strode in.
Xu Feng stood quietly behind a big tree, thinking in his heart, after the eighth prince finished eating for a while, he would find an opportunity to take him down while he was alone, and then let him take him to find Lin Ran's National Teacher's Mansion!
Idle and bored, Xu Feng glanced around, his heart moved slightly, his body floated lightly, and quietly landed on the hall, and immediately, he sat cross-legged on the roof and breathed. Slowly absorbing the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, repairing those tiny micromarks on the meridians in the body.
Xu Feng noticed that although these small micro-marks were very light, if they encountered a powerful opponent in the realm of supernatural powers, it was very likely that they would fall into hidden dangers.
In the past few days, whenever he is free, Xu Feng will seize the time, breathe and recuperate, and repair the hidden dangers in the meridians. His qi and blood are hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people, dozens of times stronger than those of the same True Yuan Realm, once he concentrates on repairing the dark wounds, the speed of recovery is much faster than he imagined.
After just a few days, it's almost good. Even vaguely, Xu Feng felt that after this restoration, his cultivation had also deepened.
β...... Lord Wang, I won't tell you that Sun Rui's rash visit this time is a big matter, and I want to beg the prince for help!"
Suddenly, in the hall below, Sun Rui's voice came, Xu Feng's heart moved, and a wisp of true yuan power leaned into the hall below him, and suddenly, the voice below became louder.
Only then did he realize that in the hall below, there were only four people, Sun Rui, Sun Gang, Steward Liu, and the Eighth Princeβeven the subordinates who were waiting on the side.
"Where does this look like a banquet in the prince's mansion? I'm afraid that some rich people's pomp and circumstance are much stronger than these eight princes!" Xu Feng shook his head slightly.
"Help?" The Eighth Prince frowned slightly, the smile on his face faded, and said lightly: "Master Sun, I can't hide it, my current situation, alas, you have also seen it, where is there still the glory of the past? I'm afraid I can't help with what you said!" he shook his head, raised his wine glass and drank it all. didn't even ask Sun Rui what was the matter, just pushed it clean. Between the words, it seems a little rusty, where is the atmosphere of the previous guests and hosts?
"I'm sorry, the head of the Sun family, my prince didn't ask about the court affairs half a year ago, and he was idle at home, if it was half a year ago, you came to visit my prince, maybe you could help with your affairs, but now, I can only say I'm sorry. Steward Liu interjected expressionlessly and said: "The master of the Sun family has come all the way, and he must be tired all the way, so it is better to finish eating early and then rest!"
"Ahem!" Sun Rui was slightly stunned, and suddenly came to his senses, the eight princes and Steward Liu thought that they had deliberately said this, thinking of this, he hurriedly coughed a few times, with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, I'm really sorry for you, Sun Rui is here to apologize to you!" As he spoke, he bent down and bowed respectfully to the eighth prince.
"It doesn't matter. Master Sun, you don't have to be so serious. The eighth prince was polite in his mouth, but his face was obviously a little soothed, and he said half-self-deprecating and half-explaining: "Actually, this matter has long been rumored in the Great Yuan country, and it is no exaggeration to say that even the people in the outer city now feel that I have lost power." β
"Lord Wang, you are still young. Don't think so. To put it mildly, I, Sun Rui, am a businessman, dealing with all kinds of different people all day long, and the people I have seen are not millions, but also 100,000! However, among so many people, your civil and military strategy, wisdom and intelligence are definitely the first!"
Sun Rui's tone was sincere, his face was honest, and he didn't look deliberately flattering at all, and after a pause, he saw that the eighth prince had a serious face and listened attentively to his words, so he continued: "Say something that is not afraid of offending you, I think you are losing power at the moment, and it may be a good thing for you and me, Lord Wang." β
"Master Sun, pay attention to your words!" Steward Liu snorted heavily and stood up suddenly. In an instant, a fierce murderous aura like substance emanated from him.
Sun Gang on the side was shocked, he didn't expect that along the way, he had been smiling and speaking properly, like a good old man's palace housekeeper, and he was actually a master!
From the aura emanating from him, Sun Gang could clearly feel that the strength of this Steward Liu was much higher than his own, at least, if it weren't for Steward Liu's anger, showing his strength. With Sun Gang's cultivation, it is impossible to detect that the other party is actually a martial artist!
In this way, the strength of this Steward Liu may have the realm of the ninth layer of body refining!
Sun Gang's heart sank, his third uncle's words were really a little too bold and reckless, you know, although the other party is a prince who has lost power and is not favored, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it is not a character that his family can offend, besides, he is still in Dayuan City, in the mansion of this prince, if he is not careful, he is likely to bury his life here.
"It's okay, let him continue. β
The Eighth Prince was unexpectedly not angry, and after greeting Steward Liu, his eyes showed a little curiosity, "Master Sun, I don't understand your words, why do you think that if I lose power, it will be a good thing for you and me?"
Sun Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and said a few words in his heart before he opened his mouth to explain: "Lord Wang, think about it, when you were in power and incomparably beautiful in the past, did you ever think that one day, those people around you would suddenly turn their faces and leave you? I'm afraid you didn't expect it, right?"
The eighth prince snorted softly, nodded, and did not speak.
"Lord Wang, you are a person who does great things, you should know in your heart, although the icing on the cake is good, but it is always not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, your loss of momentum, for you, can let you see the people around you thoroughly, know who is loyal to you, who is perfunctory, and you are vain and wronged!"
