The carriage walked on the aristocratic road, so there was no pause along the way, but trotted all the way, straight to the middle city, the Tianlong Empire continued to have a history of more than 500 years, more than 30 emperors reigned, each of them is constantly improving this symbol of the existence of the center of the empire of the imperial capital, and in the long years, this imperial capital has long been big to make people sigh.

Wanlong City can be roughly divided into four cities, the most central is the imperial city, followed by the middle city, but also the place where the nobles and wealthy live, surrounding the entire imperial city, the stars have to hold up the imperial city like the moon, and the outside of the middle city is the outer city, the outer city is the general rich households, the common residence, and then the suburban city, the suburban city is mainly stationed soldiers and horses, and there is the poor kiln, gathering the lowest group of people in the whole city.

Different from the hustle and bustle of the outer city, entering the Phoenix Gate, as if entering another world, here is the noble district of the middle city, the east is rich and the west is noble, the north official and the south ya, these eight words are mainly to talk about the layout of the middle city, the empire has four major families, four great families, four families, the east, the north city, the south palace, the west gate The history of the four families can be traced back to thousands of years ago, it is the oldest political family, even in the Tianlong Empire, it is also far-reaching.

And with the four great families also have a long history is the four giants, Wang, Lu, Sun, Lu, the four wealthy families started with business travel, have the financial resources of the country, and later also participated in politics, but there are some differences with the four great families, so these four worlds, four gates, one west and one east, are divided into two groups.

In addition to this, the northern officials mainly refer to the residences of the families of officials who are officials in the imperial capital, which is much worse than the east and west districts, as for the southern ya, it is better to understand that the south is the three provinces and six departments of the Tianlong Empire, where the yamen at all levels are located, and there are no residents.

After the carriage entered the Phoenix Gate, it turned to the east, the Weiguo Mansion is on the Qilin Avenue in the east of the imperial city, covering an extremely wide area, almost one street, the aristocratic system of the Tianlong Empire has been inherited to this day, the more high-level nobles the rarer the number is, the prince, the Grand Duke is exclusive to the royal family, and the Duke of the Kingdom is almost the highest lord of the foreign surname, and in the history of the Tianlong Empire for more than 500 years, there are only three people who are the Duke of the Kingdom, these three people are canonized by the ancestors, the position of the Duke of the Kingdom is hereditary, and the Dragon Dynasty will not have the title of the Duke of the Kingdom again.

These three princes are the three sworn brothers of the ancestor of the Tianlong Empire, the four of them fought the world together, and the Wei family is one of the three kingdoms, the status is respected, the power, the financial resources, the influence, the three princes can compete with the fourth, the four gates, and the three princes themselves coexist with the Tianlong Empire, Tianlongxing, Sanjiachang, plus the promise of the ancestors, these three can be regarded as the most hardcore supporters of the Situ royal family.

Leng Zhuo, the gate of the Wei family, is not unfamiliar, but the carriage did not enter from the main gate, the gate has not been opened two or three times a year, the carriage turned into an alley, entered from the side door, and the people withered, only the ancestors and grandchildren depended on each other The Leng family is different, the Wei family has five hundred families rise and fall, even if it is not counting the branches of those families who have moved to various places, even if it is on the Wei Guo Mansion, there are twenty-four rooms, and Wei Xing is the main vein of the Wei family.

Leng Zhuo got out of the carriage, passed through the back garden under the leadership of Leng Zhong, and entered a mansion, where Leng Wushu was placed, although the house is not big, but the interior is quite luxurious, and there is an old locust tree in the yard, but at this moment the old locust tree has lost its leaves, and the bare branches are full of vicissitudes.

Zhao Yun has already completed the hatching of psychic beast eggs and entered the period of shaping the psychic beast, and the arrangement in the academy is to organize the students who have completed the first stage to go to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain together after the year, and then spend this important period, but Leng Zhuo can't go, after all, Zhao Yun's completion of psychic is still a secret, if it weren't for this month's engagement, Leng Zhuo might have taken Zhao Yun to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, located in the north of Yunzhou, east and west, vertical and horizontal, is the most important barrier in the north of the Tianlong Empire, in addition to some passages, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain separates the Tianlong Empire from the Beihu grassland, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is majestic, the mountains are millions, covering an extremely wide area, and thousands of years ago, when the ancient psychic array was still popular, countless various rare beasts summoned from other spaces after the death of the master, or defected magical beasts, many mysterious beasts are hidden in this vast mountain range.

After thousands of years, these magical beasts from other spaces, mysterious beasts have taken root here, breeding generations of offspring, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has also become a gathering place for magical beasts, mysterious beasts and wild beasts, and the danger level has become higher and higher as they go deeper into the mountain range, but it has also become the main training ground of the Holy Heaven Academy, and it is also a paradise for adventurers.

Not far from the Weiguo Mansion, about two blocks, there is a much smaller mansion, but don't look at the door of this mansion is not tall enough, and the main gate is far more shabby than other mansions nearby, but no one dares to underestimate the people who live here, because this mansion is the palace of the Six Princes.

The royal family of the Tianlong Empire also has a set of systems for the division of descendants and grandchildren, and the prince is awarded the title of grand duke when he is an adult, and there are several counties in Kyushu, or a county, of course, the position of the grand duke is not hereditary, after three generations of replacement, to the fourth generation, it will be demoted, and the same fief will be reduced with the reduction of the title, and usually the prince who has the position of the grand duke is not qualified to compete for the throne.

The ancestor of the Tianlong Empire stipulated that the prince must have military merits before he can be crowned a prince, and only the prince has the qualifications to inherit the throne, and because of this ancient precept, the prince of each generation must go to the battlefield in person, make meritorious achievements, and establish enough merits before he can be promoted to the prince and have the qualifications to compete for the throne.

The sixth prince Situ Hao, twenty-four years old, is considered an outstanding prince in the Situ royal family, studied in the Shengtian Academy for six years, and after graduating successfully, he immediately joined the army, and went north to kill the tiger's mouth as the commander of a regiment, and fought against Beihu under Luo Yun, Luo Yun returned to the dynasty in June, but because Nalan Chen, the grandson of Nalan Bo, the protector of the country, died on the battlefield, so he had to retreat from the edge and go to the Shengtian Academy to avoid the limelight, but Situ Hao was awarded the position of prince in August because of his excellent performance in the face of the Beihu War, which means that Situ Hao has the qualifications to compete for the throne。

Before Situ Hao, there were the eldest prince Situ Nan, the third prince Situ Yun, and the fourth prince Situ Zhengfeng were awarded the title of prince, Situ Hao's mother was the second daughter of the Tang family in Yangzhou, and she was one of the four concubines, so Situ Hao had the basis to compete for the throne, but compared to his three imperial brothers, his foundation was far worse.

Situ Hao and Wei Guang's grandson, Wei Zhilan's brother Wei Wuren have a good relationship, last year, Situ Hao had the intention to participate in the Wei family's family banquet, and Wei Zhilan saw each other as before, Situ Hao fought on the battlefield for a year, plus he was very good, naturally the best object of the girl's Huaichun, Wei Zhilan was sixteen years old, and the slim and slim people were born, and it was also the time when the heart was rippling, although the two did not have a long relationship, but they were secretly emotional.

"I really don't know what the old man thinks, he actually wants to marry his sister to such a waste wood, the Leng family is just a little earl, how to climb to my Wei family, grandpa is really getting older and more confused! I really can't stand it anymore if I let a good prince and grandson-in-law go, and let Zhilan jump into the fire pit. In Situ Hao's Prince's Mansion, in the living room, Wei Wuren, who learned that Leng Zhuo had entered the Guogong Mansion, couldn't stand this anger and ran out of the house, came to Situ Hao's side, patted the tea table with a sad look, and looked indignant.

Situ Hao sighed, asked the maid to serve tea, and then said: "It's not enough to jump into the fire pit, it's good that the family has also completed the psychic ceremony, and he will inherit the title of the family in the future, of course, with his conditions, Zhilan is a little worse!"

"I said Brother Hao, you still have the leisure to talk cool here, don't you have a good impression of my sister, and plan to pursue her after you come back, why is there no movement again, do you really want to watch Zhilan marry that waste!" Wei Wuren inherited Wei Guang's straightforward and rude surname, but the old man's scheming did not inherit it at all, and he shouted with a big grin, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

"Brother Wuren, you say, I should do something, do you want to send someone to kill him, or at the engagement ceremony, hit the Wei Mansion and snatch out Zhilan! If you can really get the nod of your old man, I will let it go, but looking at your old man's posture, I'm afraid I'm iron-hearted!"

"Then you're going to stop fighting, Situ Hao, I still think you're a person who dares to love and hate, I didn't expect you to be a prince, so I looked ahead and backwards, forget it, just because I haven't been here!" Wei Wuren stood up as he said and was about to walk out.

Situ Hao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Wei Wuren, and said: "I said martial brother, you can't change your fiery temper, I said I didn't do anything, it's just an engagement, not a marriage, I have already made arrangements, you can rest assured, I won't watch Zhilan marry that waste!"

"Hehe, I know, since you have a plan, I'm waiting to watch a good show, and call me anytime if you need help!"

Situ Hao sent Wei Wuren away, returned to the seat, and knocked on the back of the chair and said: "Wei Zhilan, I must marry it, the Wei family is one of the three princes of the empire, Wei Guang has been the dean of the Shengtian Academy for more than 20 years, it can be said that the protégés and former officials are all over the military and government, this force is the most important capital for me to inherit the throne, how can she be occupied by a waste, secretly, look for an opportunity to get rid of that waste, don't lose the limelight!"

"Yes, master!" a hoarse voice sounded in a shadow of the living room, and a black shadow flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
