Chapter 291: Hongmen Banquet
The eldest prince did not answer immediately, but the smile spoke for itself, and only when the two of them got into the carriage and drove slowly towards the mansion did the eldest prince speak.
"Byron, you would never have thought that not only did my father agree to my proposal, but that his old man was ready to be there in person."
Hearing this, the Marquis of Byron was stunned unconsciously, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Your Highness, Emperor Chiyan personally said that he wanted to come to the banquet?"
Seeing that Byron seemed to be unconvinced, the eldest prince replied in an affirmative tone.
"It's true, this is what my father said himself, how can it be false."
Unlike the eldest prince's excited expression, Byron's expression was calm and calm, and after a moment of thought, he said with some uncertainty.
"Your Highness, do you say that it is possible that Emperor Chiyan already knows about that matter?"
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and then he also felt the strangeness in the matter, and after thinking about it left and right for a while, his face also showed hesitation.
"That's what you think?"
Byron nodded, "Your Highness, you also know that Emperor Chiyan has not attended a banquet among nobles for a long time, do you think it was a whim for him to suddenly propose to participate in the banquet?" There's definitely something wrong here. ”
"Yes, since I can remember, my father has only added a number of banquets, and this time he took the initiative to say that he wanted to attend the banquet, did he know that the person from the Holy Domain had died."
Byron said in a deep voice, "This is very likely, judging from the fact that the Shadow Guard is ubiquitous in the Empire, it is very likely that the Red Flame Emperor already knows about this matter. ”
When the eldest prince heard this, he immediately said urgently, "Then what do you say is the purpose of my father this time?" Do you want to make sure that the people from the Sanctuary are dead, or do you want to use this banquet to punish us? ”
"It's hard to say."
"So what do we do?"
Byron proposed, "Why don't we inform Lord Protector of the matter and see if the host can come to the feast." ”
"You mean to let my uncle protect us?"
Byron nodded, "Yes, the situation is unclear now, and it is difficult for us to guess what the Emperor Chiyan means, for the sake of safety, I suggest you go to the master to discuss it and see what he means?" ”
"You're right, I'll go to my uncle to discuss."
Because of a move by Emperor Chiyan, the eldest prince who was still full of confidence suddenly felt an unprecedented crisis, this situation really printed that sentence, eating chicken is not anti-eating rice, and at this moment the only person who can put pressure on Emperor Chiyan is the uncle of the eldest prince, so the eldest prince did not hesitate at all, turned his horse's head and drove in the direction where the prince of the protector was.
At this moment, in line with the mood of the eldest prince, the third prince was also pacing back and forth in the room like ants on a hot pot, he really couldn't understand at the moment, how could the three good people disappear suddenly?
"Are they on a mission?"
This idea was immediately rejected by the third prince, because when he left the holy realm, his uncle clearly stated that the three of them would protect him, and it was really strange to suddenly say goodbye without saying goodbye at this moment.
At this moment, a subordinate walked in with an invitation, and before he could explain the reason, the third prince said angrily.
"Have you found the dignitaries of the Sanctuary?"
Seeing that the third prince was angry, the next person hurriedly replied.
"The people sent out are looking all over the city, but no news has been sent back yet."
"A bunch of rubbish, you can't even find three people, what do you want."
Seeing that the third prince was angry, the next person didn't dare to say much, so he had to hold an invitation in his hand and obediently kneel on the ground without saying a word.
The third prince looked upset and wanted to wave the other party back, but his eyes just happened to see the invitation card in the messenger's hand and asked.
"What are you holding in your hand?"
The servant held the invitation aloft and explained.
"This is an invitation just sent from the palace, and I would like to ask Your Highness to take a look."
The third prince took the invitation, and after reading it roughly, his face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying, but reason told him that he could not attack in front of outsiders, and after waving away his subordinates, he roared in a deep voice.
"What's going on, why did my father want to entertain the guests of the Holy Domain at this time, did he know something?"
As soon as this idea came out, the third prince suddenly felt the existence of this possibility, and unconsciously a terrible thought appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that those three in the Sanctuary have already ......."
Muttering to himself, a look of panic and fear appeared in the face of the third prince, and as this terrible thought continued to linger in his mind, the third prince's heart gradually began to panic, if things were really as he thought, then this banquet was definitely a big show to kill chickens and monkeys, and he was the little chicken who could be pinched to death at will.
Thinking of this, the third prince's body went limp, and he sat on the chair with a puff, his eyes were dull, and his brain was even more mushy, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter at this moment, and he had the heart to find help from the Holy Domain, but at this moment it was beyond the reach of the whip.
After a long time, the third prince's body regained some strength, and he immediately got up and asked his subordinates to go into the palace to find his mother for help, but at the moment when the order was given, he hesitated a little, and finally waved his subordinates back and prepared to enter the palace in person to explain the situation.
As the sun gradually set to the west, a large number of carriages had gathered at the entrance of the palace, and the VIPs who walked down from these carriages were all powerful people of the Chiyan Empire.
They are well-dressed, the jewelry on their bodies is even more precious, regardless of men, women and children, are dressed in full costume, and usually participate in the banquet of ordinary nobles, these people do not talk and laugh as in the past after getting off the bus, but are easy to look serious, with the appearance of aristocrats.
As the nobles entered one after another, the banquet hall gradually became lively, and groups of nobles gathered together to talk about the same topic today.
"I heard that the Red Yan Emperor is coming to the banquet? Did you know? ”
"I've heard of this, and it must be true, otherwise I wouldn't have held a banquet in the palace."
"Do you know why?"
"Didn't the invitation say that it was to entertain the guests of the Holy Land, could there be other reasons?"
"It's hard to say, I heard that the last time the third prince took the guests of the Holy Domain to touch a nail in front of the Emperor Chiyan, and this time he suddenly had to entertain the guests of the Holy Land, do you think the character of the Emperor of Chiyan would do such a thing?"
"There's some truth to what you're saying."
"I've heard something that seems to have something to do with this feast."
"What's the matter?"
"You may not know it, but this banquet was initiated by the eldest prince."
"Huh? How can it be? The eldest prince and the third prince are not ....... ”
"When I first heard the news, I thought it was strange, but when I think about it carefully, I seem to think that the eldest prince's move may have other meanings."
"Tell me about it?"
"Let me tell you this, even if the Holy Domain is powerful, it can't control the internal affairs of our Chiyan Empire, and the eldest prince took this opportunity to find the people of the Holy Domain, obviously with the intention of wooing, do you think this is the truth."
"There is some truth in what you said, but I don't think things are like this, and you don't want to think about it, the inconsistent attitude of the Chiyan Emperor, what happened here, haven't you thought about it?"
"Why, you know why."
"It's hard to say, wait for the Chiyan Emperor to come over, we will naturally be able to know."
