When you meet your hometown in a foreign country, you see your fellow countryman, but there are no tears, and some are just murderous.

Although as a rookie, Xu Yuan is still unaware of the existence of Yi, but the eyes of a person who want to knife are always unconcealable.

Eyes intertwined in the wind and snow.

Xu Yuan chuckled, patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder, and said:

"Mr. Zhou, don't be nervous, I know you."

When the words fell, Zhou Chen withdrew the hand holding the sword, but still looked at the woman in the distance vigilantly.

Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Mengxi's voice was full of coldness, as well as a faint hint of disbelief:

"Xu Changtian?"

Xu Yuan walked slowly to Xu Mengxi, his long hair fluttering in the snowy night, and his smile was warm:

"Why, you can recognize me at a glance after not seeing me for two years before, and you haven't known me for a few months?"

“.”

Xu Mengxi didn't speak again, staring at Xu Yuan and holding down the saber hanging from his waist.

Although the identity of the other party had been confirmed, she couldn't imagine how she could come to this dangerous city at this time with such a lofty identity?

Glancing at her hand holding the knife, Xu Yuan smiled:

"What are you doing with your sword, killing the red eye? Killed the Lingshui Palace, and you still want to kill me together? ”

As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his chin with a smile and exposed part of his neck:

"If you want to, then come, anyway, now that the Northern Lockdown City is in danger, it should be easy to kill my five-grade soul condensation with your cultivation."

Xu Mengxi clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, his eyes were slightly cold but did not move.

Xu Yuan looked the other party up and down with interest, and sneered:

"I thought you would kill me the same way you killed the chief of the Spirit Water Palace, it seems that you still know the difference."

There is also a gap between the top and the best.

Xu Mengxi frowned, word by word:

"Xu Changtian, there is no difference between you and that Yue Huanbin."

"It's a big difference."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said slowly: "What kind of so-called Yue Huanbin is considered a merit if you kill it, and the emperor and my father will reward you afterwards, but if you kill me."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at himself:

"You, your master, your master's family, and your relatives and friends all have to be buried with me."

Xu Mengxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand holding the knife clenched tighter:

"What your Xiangguo Mansion did in the Northern Closure City is enough for you to die a thousand times according to the law of Great Fire."

Xu Yuan chuckled when he heard this:

"Look at what you said, the laws of the Great Flame were all formulated by my father, as if our Xiangguo Mansion was some kind of villain."

Saying,

Xu Yuan smiled at the corner of his lips:

"After so many years, Mengxi, you have matured a lot now, you should know very well that if we don't do those things, the sect will do the same, and we will be waiting to be killed by the sect."

Xu Mengxi took a deep breath, opened Xu Yuan's hand, and exhaled a mouthful of white mist in the wind and snow:

"Fallacy and sophistry are just a raccoon dog."

Xu Yuan smiled, didn't refute, raised his hand and patted Xu Mengxi's shoulder, and walked past her towards the main hall:

"Whatever you say, the ideal world is only ideal, this son appreciates you, and I hope you can always stick to your original intention."

After taking a few steps, Xu Yuan paused, and suddenly smiled:

"Also, I advise you again, it's easy to break if it's too rigid."

Xu Mengxi suddenly exploded when he heard this, turned around, looked at his back in the wind and snow, and held the handle of the knife and creaked:

"Xu Changtian, what do you mean?"

Xu Yuan turned his eyes back with a smile in his eyes:

"What do you mean by me, if it weren't for this natural disaster blizzard, with your previous actions in the Northern Lockdown City, you would have committed suicide now."

“.”

When the words fell, Xu Mengxi was quiet and paused for a few breaths, her entire delicate body was trembling with anger, but she couldn't speak.

Because, what Xu Yuan said was the truth.

She went out of the city to seize the smuggled ordnance, but when she arrived at the location, she was ambushed by three inexplicable grandmasters, and if she hadn't escaped quickly, she would have been dead by now.

Xu Yuan looked at her expression and said with a smile:

"You did a good job of killing Yue Huanbin.

"Although this son looks down on him, it is undeniable that his status is indeed very high, the only son of the great elder of Lingshui Palace, if you don't take advantage of the situation of the barbarian attack on the city, there is a high probability that you will be buried if you kill him."

Saying,

Xu Yuan's eyes softened, and he said softly:

"Haven't you always wanted to settle accounts with me, before you are qualified to settle accounts with me, it is best to know how to protect yourself, only when you are still alive, can you climb up and do more."

“.”

The words fell, and there was silence.

Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, didn't speak again, and turned to leave.

Xu Mengxi looked at his back with long hair fluttering in the snowy night, gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Xu Changtian, what qualifications do people like you have to say such things here?"

She was a little unacceptable.

I can't accept that this evil man can say such words.

Xu Yuan didn't answer, didn't look back, waved his hand, and disappeared at the entrance of the main hall, leaving Xu Mengxi alone in the wind and snow

After entering the main hall, the scene in the hall was not much different from what Xu Yuan thought.

The main hall was empty, and Li Zhaoyuan sat alone in the first place to deal with military affairs such as logistics, and the wolf pen at his fingertips wrote quickly.

Seeing Xu Yuan come in, Li Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows, immediately put down the pen in his hand and got up to greet him, and said with a smile:

"The third prince didn't stay overnight?"

Xu Yuan looked at the other party's expression:

"The war has started, it's too chaotic outside, and the government is still safe, but how do you know that I went out with Li Yunqing?"

Li Zhaoyuan did not hide it, and said it directly:

"The royal sister handed over the affairs in the palace to the king, so the third prince and Yunqing went out together, and the king naturally knew about it."

Xu Yuan stared at the second prince for a few breaths, and suddenly asked:

"Second Highness, aren't you curious about what I talked about with Li Yunqing?"

A smile appeared on Li Zhaoyuan's sword-eyed starry face:

"Curious? Why be curious? Yunqing is looking for the third son, you are nothing more than trying to ask for a way out of the city, in addition to the things that Yunqing can discuss with the third son"

Speaking of which,

Li Zhaoyuan suddenly paused, stared at Xu Yuan and said with a meaningful smile:

"There should only be people from Beifeng, right?"

Xu Yuan glanced at the second prince deeply and sighed:

"You know Li Yunqing."

"The third prince returned alone, it seems that it should have been negotiated."

While speaking, the two walked towards the table in the main hall, Li Zhaoyuan shook his head with a sigh: "Yunqing has been like this since he was a child, and he always doubts that I, as a brother, will do something to him."

"Xu Mengxi's killing of the Spirit Water Palace was suppressed by you?" Xu Yuan coldly interrupted Li Zhaoyuan's chatter.

“.”

The span of the topic was a bit large, but Li Zhaoyuan quickly adjusted his thoughts and nodded in response:

"Yes, Lingshui Palace is too presumptuous in the war in the north, and my father and Duke Xu are very dissatisfied, and they need to be taught a lesson."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled:

"Second Highness is so supportive, aren't you worried about being retaliated against by the Northern Sect afterwards?"

When Li Zhaoyuan heard this question, he immediately frowned in his heart, and a trace of suspicion arose, but he quickly said:

"Naturally, it is a routine to give her support in her work, after all, the order in the city still needs to be maintained by the people of the Secret Investigation Department."

“.”

Xu Yuan shook his head and didn't say anything more on this matter.

High-sounding, drip-proof.

If it weren't for the clear nature of Xu Mengxi's woman, Xu Yuan might have really believed it.

Although I don't know the details, there is a high probability that Xu Mengxi was used as a gun by the second prince.

But her personality is also easy to be used as a gunman.

Xu Mengxi killed important people in the northern sect, and the second prince endorsed and took the blame, which seemed to be a very simple business.

But the problem is that other people don't see it that way.

Because, Xu Mengxi's identity is not simple, and behind him stands the chief of the secret investigation department, a powerful figure in the imperial court.

Xu Mengxi couldn't help him, Xu Yuan was because his father was the prime minister who had rebelled and graduated.

Beyond that, there was no one.

But that doesn't mean the head of the Secret Investigation Department has no influence.

In Da Yan's picture book drama, even if this kind of character can appear, he can only draw an imposing back at most.

The second prince's endorsement of Xu Mengxi was obviously aimed at this one.

If Xu Mengxi kills a few more high-level children of the sect, the real power department of the Secret Investigation Department may be directly bound to the boat of the second prince.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan shook his head in his heart.

If you see through it or not, this matter has nothing to do with him.

He Xu Yuan did appreciate Xu Mengxi, but he would not arbitrarily intervene to sabotage the second prince's plan because of his appreciation.

He slapped Li Zhaoyuan, and the other party might bring the other side of his face up, but if this thing was destroyed, it was estimated that he would have to be anxious.

After all, you live and die in such a thing as seizing the heir, and each prince shows his magic for this and does everything he can.

The temple was silent for a while,

The second prince lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and Xu Yuan directly occupied the position of the second prince with a big grin.

“.”

The corners of Li Zhaoyuan's eyes jumped, but he didn't say anything, just stood by and looked at Xu Yuan, without expressing any objections.

Xu Yuan glanced at the other party, and directly picked up a few copies on the desk in front of him, quickly glanced around, and suddenly smiled:

"The second prince knows a lot of things."

Li Zhaoyuan stood aside as usual and said with a smile:

"I just understand a little, the main thing is that the royal sister trusts me."

Xu Yuan sat and shook his head:

"His Royal Highness is humble, it is difficult to lead troops to fight, but what is even more difficult is to manage logistics and materials in wartime, especially in the Northern Closure City, where the army's command system is not unified."

Li Zhaoyuan sighed helplessly:

"The third prince is concise and to the point, the inventory of the sect cannot be entered by our people, and many things cannot be counted, these things."

Xu Yuan smiled and threw a dossier directly from the Sumeru Ring to the second prince.

Li Zhaoyuan took it, knowing it in his heart, but still asked:

"Third son, this is."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Lou Ji asked me to hand it over to Wu Yuan, although it is not very accurate, but it can be regarded as an approximate number, and the second prince should be useful."

Li Zhaoyuan's starry eyes flashed for a moment, and he bowed:

"Zhao Yuan has thanked the third prince again."

Xu Yuan waved his hand and smiled at Li Zhaoyuan:

"Now that the Northern Closure City has entered the military management, the 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the city are eating, drinking, and Lazar, the source crystal dispatch required for the formations in various places, and the complicated equipment to defend the city, these things are big just thinking about it, and they can be managed so well in less than a day."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan groaned slightly, as if he was considering adjectives, and finally he grinned:

"His Royal Highness is really a talent for governing the country, and I will talk to my father when I return to Beijing."

“.”

When Li Zhaoyuan heard this, his face did not change at all, and he smiled slightly:

"Third son, you should be the only one who has said this to me, right?"

Xu Yuan frowned, revealing a touch of displeasure:

"Hey, I've only said this kind of thing to you, Second Highness."

"yes, that's my heart."

Li Zhaoyuan was noncommittal, and arched his hand: "Then thank you to the third prince for his kind words to Duke Xu." ”

Saying this, Li Zhaoyuan didn't believe it at all in his heart.

This Xu Changtian and his imperial brother Li Yunqing have the same character, they are all people who come with their mouths open, and they are definitely not the only ones who have said this to him.

At the very least, this third prince should have told Li Yunqing that kid.

“.”

Seeing this, Xu Yuan shook his head and slowly stood up:

"Second Highness, I admire you very much."

Li Zhaoyuan is still smiling officially:

"Thanks to the third son."

"I mean really."

Xu Yuan's eyes were serious, staring at Li Zhaoyuan's embarrassed starry eyes:

"Among the many princes in the Holy Heaven today, whether it is the crown prince or the sixth prince, the son is valued by the mother, and only the second highness, you are the mother and the son."

Behind the other princes who are qualified to win the heir is either the thousand-year-old family of the imperial capital, or the marquis who holds the power of the army, but these two princes are different, his mother concubine is just an ordinary palace maid in the palace city.

Because of her stunning appearance, she was canonized as a concubine after the emperor was fortunate to have Li Zhaoyuan, and she couldn't provide any help to Li Zhaoyuan.

And there is no family affection to talk about the matter of seizing the heir, as long as you have thoughts, others will put you to death, and the mother concubine can sink with you.

And this Li Zhaoyuan is in this predicament, step by step to the present.

The staff around him gathered, and a few important ministers in the court stood behind him.

is worthy of a prince similar to Li Yaoxuan.

“.”

Li Zhaoyuan did not immediately reply to this compliment, and was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice:

"The third prince is serious, the gap between me and the imperial brother is still too big."

The gap may refer to the support within the court, or it may refer to the ability.

Ambiguous and does not give an accurate answer.

Being too watertight is a bit boring.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart when he heard this:

"Face up to the gap and catch up, I'm optimistic about you."

After that, Xu Yuan stood up and gave up his position to the other party, patted the other party on the shoulder and went straight into the corridor pavilion in the back hall.

“.”

Li Zhaoyuan stood in place and watched Xu Yuan leave his back, his eyes were as flat as water.

Ban Yu,

He chuckled, shook his head, and muttered silently:

"Face up to the gap and catch up."

The prince is a collection of thousands of favors, and as soon as the other party is born, there is a huge intertwined interest group standing behind him.

It's suffocatingly large.

The second minister, the commander of the forbidden army, the royal chamber of commerce, and even the military god Wu Chenghou

It's late
