Following the maid through the winding waterfront corridor, Qin Yun came to the banquet hall of the palace.

The banquet hall is a banquet place specially used by wealthy families to entertain VIPs, when Qin Yun came in, a feast had already been set up inside, a team of beautiful singers were dancing in the center of the hall, and there were musicians playing pleasant dance music next to them, and the luxury air was blowing in his face.

I saw Yan Lingyun sitting on the main seat, and the others were seated on the left and right, and the delicate maids were shuttling between the feasts like butterflies wearing flowers, delivering food and wine back and forth, and the laughter was endless.

Seeing Qin Yun coming, Yan Lingyun was very surprised, and immediately stood up to greet him personally.

The musicians and singers stopped their performances and quietly retreated to the corner, and everyone in the audience rose one after another.

Among them, there are majestic samurai, there are also polite scribes, there are gray-haired old men, and there are high-spirited young swordsmen, but no matter who they are, those who can have a place here will definitely not be ordinary people.

Yan Lingyun stepped forward and grabbed Qin Yun's arm and asked with great concern, "Senior brother, you are out of the customs so soon, how are you recovering from your injuries?"

Qin Yun said with a smile: "With Senior Brother Lao's concern, I am already fine, thanks to Senior Brother Lao's elixir." ”

Yan Lingyun looked at Qin Yun's expression carefully, nodded and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot this time, presumably there must be a breakthrough in the realm, which is really gratifying!"

Qin Yun had just finished out of the level, his body was full of true qi, and he didn't use the breathing technique to cover it up, Yan Lingyun was an innate high-level powerhouse. So keenly felt the change in his breath.

Qin Yun smiled, it was a tacit acquiescence.

The key to his breakthrough is to break through the bottleneck of the third layer of the Jiuyang Divine Skill, after the Jiuyang Fire Seed is broken and then established, he can accumulate more and stronger Yang Fire Source Power, although he has not been able to use this to promote to the realm of the Innate Four Heavens, but his strength has definitely increased a lot.

Constantly improving and breaking through in battle is the trick of many strong people to cultivate and promote, and the test of life and death battle can greatly stimulate the potential of martial artists, but the price of failure is too high.

Of course, Yan Lingyun understood this truth, and he was happy for Qin Yun. is also very envious of Qin Yun.

The son of the daughter can't sit down, since the Tiancheng Sword Sect Yicheng returned to the imperial capital Yanjing from the mountain, unless he gives up the battle for the crown prince's throne, it is impossible to personally experience the battle, and he will not even have too much time to practice martial arts and swordsmanship, and the realm strength will be difficult to advance from now on.

In Yan Lingyun's heart, he never forgot the days when he studied swords in the Sword Sect, and in Qin Yun's body, he saw his shadow back then. It's just that he would never be able to pursue the supreme martial arts as freely as Qin Yun.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through the prince's mind, and his distraction was only a brief moment. Then he smiled and said: "Don't talk about this, junior brother, you came just in time, I'll introduce it to you." ”

Yan Lingyun introduced the people who participated in the banquet to Qin Yun one by one: "This is the great Confucian Luo Chengde Luo Master of the current dynasty, and he is also my mentor, this is Lin Kailin Sword Master, the guest master in my house......"

Qin Yun saluted one by one, and the other party also returned the salute with a smile.

There are not many people here, and there are only eleven people in Fang Feicheng, but they all have their own identities and origins.

Qin Yun's heart was bright. These people should all be Yan Lingyun's henchmen and staff, and they are Yan Lingyun's team to compete for the crown prince, but except for Fang Feicheng, they generally do not appear in front of people.

Everyone was very polite to Qin Yun, and they all said the words that they had admired for a long time, and the atmosphere was also harmonious for a while.

"Seventh brother, you're too uninteresting. Why don't you invite my little sister over to a banquet to congratulate?"

Just as Yan Lingyun finished introducing Qin Yun, a gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Yan Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Ninth sister, I didn't expect you to come too." It's true that I was negligent! But it's better to be in time than to be in time, and I can't even think of it!"

This uninvited guest is none other than the Ninth Princess Yan Fangfei!

I saw her walk into the banquet hall with two entourages, pursed her lips and chuckled: "Seventh brother is not sincere, you didn't invite me at all, okay? Maybe I blame me for not being invited and disturbing you!"

For his younger sister, Yan Lingyun didn't have the slightest temper, raised his hand and surrendered: "I was wrong, the ninth sister will let go of the seventh brother!"

Yan Fangfei suddenly laughed, causing everyone to laugh too.

For this widow princess, there is no one here who does not know or know, although Yan Fangfei has no possibility of winning the throne, but with her ability and the degree of favor in front of Emperor Longwu, no one dares to underestimate it.

In the open and secret battles between the princes, Yan Fangfei has always maintained an impartial position, and her ability to take the initiative to enter Yan Lingyun's door is undoubtedly extremely face-saving for Yan Lingyun.

Yan Fangfei's beautiful eyes flowed, paused on Qin Yun's face for a few more moments, and said with a smile: "Young Master Qin, it looks like your injuries have recovered, this time it is really thanks to your defeat of Iga Feng, otherwise I would really have to pay for it!"

Qin Yun arched his hand and smiled: "The princess is polite. ”

Yan Lingyun said with a smile: "Ninth sister, junior brother, let's sit down first and talk while eating!"

Of course, the two had no objections, after everyone sat down again, Yan Lingyun arranged Yan Fangfei first on the left, and Qin Yun in her lower position, and Fang Feicheng still sat first on the right.

Yan Lingyun clapped his hands, the singers and musicians re-entered the performance, and the atmosphere quickly recovered.

Of course, because of Yan Fangfei's presence, everyone was a lot.

After Yan Fangfei took a shallow sip of wine, she put down the wine glass and said to Yan Lingyun: "Seventh brother, I came this time, mainly to return your bets and the money you won, please take a look at it." ”

An attendant behind her respectfully presented a heavy white jade box to Yan Lingyun.

Qin Yun and Yi He Feng's duel gambling game started because of Yan Lingyun and Yan Chaozong, but Yan Fangfei entered the game to open the village, and all the bets of both sides were bet on her in advance, and now of course they have to be returned to Yan Lingyun.

Yan Lingyun didn't look at the box at all, and waved his hand to signal the servant next to him to put the box away, as if he didn't care that it contained a huge wealth worth hundreds of thousands of spirit jade.

He smiled and said to Yan Fangfei: "It's troublesome for the ninth sister to send it over personally, haven't you forgotten my junior brother's share?"

Although it was a joke, it also represented Yan Lingyun's concern for Qin Yun's deserved interests.

Yan Fangfei glanced at him angrily: "Who are you and me, Qin Gongzi's share is naturally indispensable!"

At her signal, another attendant presented Qin Yun with a sandalwood box.

This box was much bigger than that given to Yan Lingyun, Yan Fangfei opened the lid with her own hands, and the things contained in it were immediately presented in front of Qin Yun, and it was a pile of neatly stacked red jade pieces.

Qin Yun is very familiar with these jades, all of them are fire spirit jade, extremely high-quality fire spirit jade!

Next to the fire spirit jade, there was also a roll of pale yellow paper, and a bead that emitted a soft light.

Ice Mantis Beads!

Before the duel, Qin Yun gave Yan Fangfei three ice mantis beads as the capital to bet, Yan Fangfei obviously returned one of them as agreed, and the other two were purchased by her at a bid.

Yan Fangfei said slowly: "After my calculations, there are a total of one hundred top-grade fire spirit jade and fifty top-grade white spirit jade, which is the share of the bet you deserve, and this ......"

She picked up the roll of paper and unfolded it, her fingertips lightly swiping over the delicate paper: "This is the Yueyunfang shop deed under the name of the twelve girls, I will give it to you, which is the price of two ice mantis beads." ”

One hundred pieces of high-grade fire spirit jade!

Fifty pieces of the best white spirit jade!

Just the wealth represented by these spirit jades was enough to move Qin Yun, although he didn't know the reputation of Yueyun Fang in Yanjing, but being able to exchange it for two ice mantis beads completely explained the value.

This time it's really profitable!

Even if Qin Yun didn't care much about foreign objects, he still felt extremely surprised in his heart, you must know that whether it is a top-grade fire spirit jade or a top-grade white spirit jade, it is a rare and rare spiritual object, not only can it be exchanged for money, but he can also use it directly, and its value to him is definitely higher than that of others.

He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking, "What about my senior brother's share ......?"

"Of course, it has been converted to him, and he won't be at a loss!" Yan Fangfei smiled: "If you don't believe it, I can have someone send you an account." ”

"Then no need, thank you, Your Highness!" Qin Yun shook his head and took the deed from Yan Fangfei's hand.

He didn't take the shop deed into his arms, but handed it to Yan Lingyun directly: "Senior brother, I don't know how to run a shop, and I don't have any relatives and friends in Yanjing, so I'll leave this shop to you!"

"Give it to me?" Yan Lingyun was stunned.

Yan Fangfei said with a smile: "You might as well take care of him, I only need your thirty percent of the profit, to ensure that you can earn more than 300,000 taels of silver every year, if it is not enough, I will subsidize it to you myself!"

"My seventh brother is good at everything, but he can't do business, and he will leave Yanjing soon. ”

"What!?"

Yan Lingyun, Fang Feicheng, and several guests from the next seat exclaimed at the same time.

Yan Fangfei stretched out her hand and stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about this matter, my father summoned me in the afternoon, and he asked me to pass on a message on my behalf, summoning you and Qin Yun to enter the palace after tomorrow morning!"

Yan Lingyun was speechless for a moment, she almost forgot such an important matter.

However, Yan Lingyun immediately understood that it was definitely Yan Fangfei joking with him, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

But in his heart, Yan Lingyun was very excited, Yan Fangfei's hint was so obvious, if he couldn't hear it, then he really didn't want to compete for the position of the crown prince.

Thinking that things would develop as he hoped, his mood was naturally very good, where would he worry about Yan Fangfei, and it was too late to thank the other party!
