However, before Feng Jixing and Lin Muyu went out, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a guard of the Shenhou Mansion said respectfully: "Fan Gong, Lord Zhuang Yan sent someone to send an invitation, saying that it was to hold a banquet in the Drunken Immortal Tower in the imperial capital at noon tomorrow and invite Fan Gong to go." ”

"Drunken Immortal Building?"

Yi Yifan frowned and said, "Call someone in." ”

"Yes!"

The person sent by Zhuang Yan didn't look like a soldier, but like a businessman, fat and bloated, with a beard, as soon as he saw Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, he immediately smiled: "It turns out that the two highnesses are also here, so it's even better, the two of you are also invited, tomorrow at noon Drunken Immortal Tower, this is Lord Zhuang Yan's invitation." ”

He took out four invitations at once, not only Yong Yifan, Lin Muyu, and Feng Jixing were among the invitations, but even Wei Qiu was among them.

"Lord Zhuang Yan, what are you going to do?" Lin Muyu asked.

The messenger shook his head and said: "The small one is just a messenger, and I don't know what the specific reason is, but Lord Zhuang Yan said that there will be a shocking news announced in the Zuixian Building at noon tomorrow, please don't miss the two highnesses, Fan Gong and Wei Guogong." ”

"Who else did he invite?" Feng Jixing asked.

"Hmm...... The three highnesses, the three grand dukes and many marquis were invited, in addition, the military department, the official department, the criminal department, the temple, and the elixir department in Lanyan City were all invited, a total of about 100 people. ”

"Okay, it's okay, you go, tell Zhuang Yan that we must be on time tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the little one is gone. ”

After the messenger left, several people in the parlor frowned.

"He was fast, and before we could do it, he struck first. Lin Muyu said lightly: "This meal at Zuixianlou at noon tomorrow must not be so delicious." ”

Yong Yifan bowed: "A few days ago, I heard that Zhuang Yan also feasted the princes and kings of all walks of life many times, Liu Xiyu, Su Changying, Zhou Heng, Zhao Xinpei, Yang Zhong and other princes from all walks of life are among them, the imperial army only has 100,000 horses, while the hundreds of princes have six or seven times our people, they are already in the hands of life and death. ”

Saying that, Yong Yifan sat down and sighed: "It turns out that you can enjoy peace by defeating the Tianji Continent, but I didn't expect that the rebellion of the empire has just begun. ”

Feng Jixing said: "Zhuang Yan and the others don't have any good intentions, in my opinion, they should quickly cut through the mess and kill the leaders of the princes directly, and forget it." ”

Yong Yifan smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness King Xin, at this time and that time, now is not the time for you to kill a hundred generals in the Seven Customs, at that time the main force of the imperial army is still there, Tang Lan is still there, they are still afraid, and now, the chaos of the princes' army is no longer comparable to the kind of people like Tang Lu, Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, Liu Xiyu, which one is not an old fox, if we really kill them with the identity of our god realm, their subordinates will also lead a large army to attack Lanyan City, and the imperial capital can no longer withstand such a war." ”

Lin Muyu said: "I will go to the Drunken Immortal Building at noon tomorrow." ”

"Hmm. Feng Jixing nodded.

Lin Muyu looked at Wei Qiu again, and said: "Dispatch two thousand gentian battalions to impose martial law around the Drunken Immortal Tower, if something really goes wrong, I'd rather kill the wrong one than let go, and none of the princes will be left!"

Wei Qiu clenched his fists: "Yes, my subordinates understand!"

Feng Jixing groaned and said, "This matter ...... Do you want to tell His Highness Yin and Lord Xi?"

"The two of them have just been freed from the war, so let's make our own decisions, I don't think Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi will blame us. ”

"Good!"

......

The next day, at noon, there were no other guests in the drunken immortal building on Tongtian Street, and the guards of the princes' army were under martial law inside and out, but in the streets outside the drunken immortal building, they were seen dead by the ironclad cavalry of the gentian battalion, once there was any turmoil, the hundreds of guards of the princes' army were naturally not the elite opponents of the battle-hardened gentian battalion.

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing came to the Drunken Immortal Building together, and when the two entered, they found that Qin Yan, Su Yu, and Yong Yifan were already there, and the huge Drunken Immortal Building had been wrapped up by Zhuang Yan today, and there was no one else, all the guests were important ministers in the court.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs stepped forward one after another to salute, and Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing nodded their heads in greeting, which was considered a return salute, in fact, with their status, there was no need to do so.

Not long after, Zhuang Yan, Liu Xiyu and others walked out from inside, Zhuang Yan laughed and knelt down, and said: "The last general will see the three highnesses, and it is really an honor for our princes from all walks of life to be willing to appreciate their faces. ”

"Master Zhuang doesn't need to be polite, get up. Lin Muyu said.

"So, let's take a seat!"

Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled, and took Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan and others straight to a big table in the center, all the guests at this table were Yipin, in addition to the three kings and the three dukes, there were also the military department books, the criminal department books, the household department books and others, each of which was a heavyweight who could make Lan Yancheng tremble by stomping his feet.

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were silent, there was no good feast, and there was nothing good to do today.

The delicacies quickly filled the table, the aroma of wine overflowed, Lin Muyu and Feng Ji had been marching outside for many years, where did they have the opportunity to taste the delicious food in the drunken fairy building, and now they couldn't help but be aroused, but they still have to endure it, after all, something big will happen today.

"I don't know what Lord Zhuang is doing to entertain us today?"

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly: "You are the mainstay of the empire, the three kings rule the world, the four princes determine the world, and the five marquis towns and four directions, and the military department, household department, etc. provide the most solid logistics support for the imperial army, and only with full cooperation can we drive away the powerful enemy, compared with your lords, we are the princes who recruit troops on their own are simply unqualified, but the army in our hands only recognizes our face, so ...... The purpose of Zhuang someone's banquet here today is to get acquainted with each other and prepare for the future cooperation and allegiance to the empire. ”

He looks loyal and courageous, but people can't doubt it.

Lin Muyu's face was expressionless, for so many years, the loyal ministers and traitors knew at a glance that Zhuang Yan was obviously just a scheming villain, and there were still 108,000 miles away from the loyal ministers, so Lin Muyu said: "When will the banquet start? I'm hungry." ”

"Ha, His Royal Highness King Qin, please wait a moment. ”

Zhuang Yan snorted and said, "In addition to you today, the last general has also invited a respected elder of the imperial family, with him, the empire can truly have long-term peace and stability." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Muyu was a little displeased, and said, "What kind of person can have such a big breath?"

"We found this person in Tianshu Province, he has been incognito for many years, he escaped from the Fairy Lake to live in the northeast of Tianshu Province, and lived like a hunter, I think...... His Royal Highness King Chung should be quite familiar. ”

Zhuang Yan took a deep look at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan was slightly stunned: "...... me, what am I familiar with, you call someone here and talk about it." ”

"Good. ”

Zhuang Yan clapped his palms and said, "Come on, please Your Highness!"

Suddenly, the curtain at the back of the hall was lifted, and an old man with gray hair walked over with the support of two guards, his spirit was still strong, but his face was extremely old, everyone was dumbfounded, and they always felt a little familiar, even Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were stunned, this person seemed to have seen it somewhere, but ...... I can't remember it.

Among the crowd, Qin Yan was the only one who stood up slowly, walked over in despair, and said in a trembling voice: "Father...... Is that you? Father......

The person who came was none other than Qin Luo, the king of Yining! Qin Jin and Qin Yi's brother!

Qin Luo was in tears, and his palms trembled and held Qin Yan's arm: "Ah Yan...... My Ah Yan has grown up, and my father misses you and your brother every day, and today I finally have to see you......"

Qin Yan cried bitterly: "Father...... We've been dead for so many years...... Why, why are you here today?"

Qin Qian said: "At the beginning, the second brother didn't listen to my advice, killed the imperial brother, and killed each other, but he didn't want to kill me, he just let people go to a distant place alone, he said, as long as I am incognito, I will not be investigated, otherwise I will definitely send someone to hunt me down, so many years...... I've been hiding in the mountains and no one knows...... Ah Yan, you brother ......"

Qin Yan burst into tears: "My brother was martyred in the Lanyan City Rebellion eleven years ago!"

"My ...... Are"

Qin Luo trembled all over, and only after getting the news from Qin Yan's mouth did he truly feel the pain of losing his loved ones.

Zhuang Yan stepped forward, helped Qin Yu, and said, "Your Royal Highness, please sit down, Commander Qin Lei sacrificed his life for the country, which is the pride of the empire, and you should be happy for him." ”

Qin Luo nodded and took a seat.

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing got up at the same time and said respectfully: "See His Royal Highness King Yining!"

"I know you......" Qin Qian said quietly: "You are Lin Muyu, the righteous son of the imperial brother, and you are the wind successor, the commander of the forbidden army." ”

"Exactly. ”

"You are already a prince now......" Qin Qian looked at the cloaks of the two of them, naturally knowing their identities.

Su Yu said: "His Royal Highness King Yining, Ah Yu was named King of Qin, Feng Jixing was named King of Xin, and your son Qin Yan was named King Zhong, and it was the three of them who ruled the world of Great Qin for so many years. ”

"I know, I know everything......"

Feng Jixing said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yining is the uncle of Her Royal Highness the Empress, it is really good that you can return safe and sound, and the empire has added another minister, it is really a blessing in the world, it is better to ...... Your Highness will be escorted by us to the Zetian Palace to meet Her Royal Highness the Empress, right?"

Qin Luo was stunned and didn't speak, but Zhuang Yan on the side smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Yining is tired of traveling and driving, don't be in a hurry to see Her Royal Highness the Empress for the time being, it's better to wait for the court meeting tomorrow morning." ”

Feng Jixing said coldly: "The matter of His Royal Highness King Yining, when will it be your turn to guard a small sunset city too much?"

There was murderous aura in his words, which made Zhuang Yan's face turn pale uncontrollably.

Lin Muyu quickly stretched out his hand and pressed Feng Jixing's wrist, and said, "Brother Feng, listen to His Royal Highness King Ning's meaning." ”

Qin Yi coughed violently a few times and said, "Then ...... Tomorrow morning, anyway, there is no hurry at this time, it just so happens that I have traveled between the mountains and fields for so many years, and I have heard and seen many things, so I can write a book and submit it to Her Royal Highness the Empress. ”

Lin Muyu nodded: "Well, okay." ”

Feng Jixing glared at Lin Muyu, seemingly dissatisfied.

And Lin Muyu's voice came into Feng Jixing's ears like a silk thread: "I know that Zhuang Yan wants to control us through King Yining, but we can't act recklessly, in the final analysis, we have to give face to King Yining, the imperial uncle, and better give Ah Yan a face, he just learned that his father is not dead, how can we pour cold water at this time." ”

Feng Jixing's anger gradually subsided, he nodded, and said no more, and ate the food in a big gulp.
