The Prince's Mansion was built along a tributary of the Han River, leading to a small cliff top. From the top of the Prince's Residence, you can see the entire Han River.

The crown prince Liu Yi has set up the banquet at the highest place in the mansion. There is a large platform here, with a gentle breeze and white clouds, and the mood will be a lot happier when you are in it.

In addition to inviting the envoys of the Great Qin, the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, Liu Ai also invited the foreign affairs elders of the seven major sects such as Confucianism and Taoism in Luoyang City, as well as the martial arts masters above the level of vice presidents of the martial arts institutes founded by various schools, so it can be said that this was a grand banquet that caused a sensation in Luoyang City.

The outside world has speculated that most banquets of this level in previous years were presided over by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But this year, the crown prince Liu Yi has been presiding, thinking that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly deteriorated and could not handle state affairs as usual, everyone felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty intended to let Liu Yi inherit the unification.

As the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yi is already very talented and strategic. He began to cultivate at the age of two, and after thirty years of penance, he has broken through to the Yuan Infant Realm, ranking among the top five among the younger generation of the Han Empire.

Liu Yi is in the prime of life, and both his blood and vitality are at the peak of his life.

Once he becomes the emperor of the Han Dynasty, with the blessing of dynastic luck and the rich cultivation resources of the empire, he may be able to break through to the realm of tribulation in his lifetime and create a new prosperous era of the Han Empire.

Liu Yi was already in high spirits, and he also thought that his father's move was intended for him to inherit the unification. Therefore, he believed that presiding over this feast was a kind of test for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Through this test, the overall situation of the battle for succession has been decided, and the rest of the princes cannot shake his position.

Therefore, Liu Zhi has attached great importance to this feast. From the list of invitees, the wording of the invitation, the arrangement of seats, to the security defenses, and the prevention of the secret intrigues of other kings, everything is done by yourself, and everything is done flawlessly.

After Li Leng and his entourage entered the prince's mansion to confirm their identity, a prince Zhan Shi came over.

"Zhan Shi Xia Guangkun of the Prince's Mansion met with His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. ”

This prince Zhan Shi's name is Xia Guangkun, he has a mellow personality, is shrewd, and knows the etiquette of various princely states, and is the right-hand man of the prince Liu Ai.

Li Leng nodded and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

Xia Guangkun said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace to meet His Majesty and listen to His Majesty's orders on many affairs. Calculate the time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be back soon. Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace, he instructed me to entertain the envoys well, especially not to neglect His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince. ”

"Then there's the Lau Cha Zhan thing. Li Leng did not speak, and Shen Hao came forward to talk to Xia Guangkun.

This is the etiquette of the vassal states, if it is the crown prince Liu Yi who has come forward to receive them, then Li Leng must come out to deal with it personally. But if it is the crown prince Zhan Shi who comes forward to receive it, then only Shen Hao or Cai Xiang needs to come out to receive it.

Although Cai Xiang is a young master of Honglu Temple and is familiar with the etiquette between the vassal states, he is not as mature and tactful as Shen Hao.

Therefore, it is the best choice for Shen Hao to be in charge of docking on this occasion, and it can also reflect the demeanor of the Tang Empire.

Xia Guangkun smiled slightly and said, "Please move the envoys." After speaking, he led the way in front, and Li Leng and his party followed behind.

The Yuntai is so large that you can overlook the entire Han River, and even, you can see the imperial palace of the Han Empire above the Han River.

At this time, there were not many people coming, and there were only a dozen people on the huge gimbal. Everyone didn't speak, and they all stood on the side of the Yuntai and enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the Han River.

"His Royal Highness the Ten Princes will enjoy the scenery of the Han River here first, and we have also prepared some spirit meat and brute beast essence blood, if His Royal Highness the Ten Princes does not dislike it, you can taste it first. Xia Guangkun bowed and saluted, and said apologetically, "The subordinates will retire first." ”

Shen Hao said: "Xia Zhan is busy in advance, and our Highness already knows it. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Tenth Prince. Xia Guangkun saluted again and left the cloud platform to entertain other guests.

Cai Xiang said dissatisfiedly: "This prince Liu is already a big fight, and it is just an excuse to say that he entered the palace to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”

Shen Hao smiled and asked, "Did Lord Cai get any news?"

Cai Xiang said: "The crown prince Liu Yi has not entered the palace at all, but received the envoys of Daqin and Daming in a private house. Dahan's move is clearly to look down on my Datang. ”

Shen Hao said: "Lord Cai, don't speculate about unfounded things. ”

Cai Xiang said: "If I am not sure, how dare I say it in front of His Highness." ”

Shen Hao's face was solemn and he looked at Li Leng.

The Han prince Liu Yi has done this, and he is indeed contemptuous of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Leng smiled lightly and said lightly: "The scenery of the Han River is good, instead of speculating on the minds of others at will, it is better to calm down and enjoy the scenery of the Han River." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Cai Xiang and Shen Hao saluted at the same time.

They knew that Li Leng was resourceful and the city was very deep, and even they could see the trick of the Han prince Liu Aiji, how could they hide it from the eyes of the ten princes.

Li Leng looked at the sparkling Han River indifferently, and his heart fluctuated.

30,000 years ago, the Han River was not the Han River, it was called the Han Sea, and it was a passage to the underworld.

The Netherworld is in charge of the six reincarnations of heaven and earth, and is the most powerful prince outside the heavenly realm.

At that time, the Hades of the Netherworld established a powerful unified Netherworld Dynasty and launched the Seventh Great War of the Heavens in a vain attempt to overthrow the order of heaven and earth that he had established.

He ordered the Jade Emperor, the lord of the heavenly court at that time, and the originator of Taoism, Taishang Laojun, the founder of Buddhism, to use the supreme supernatural power to work together to destroy the six reincarnation causes and effects of the netherworld and establish a new order of reincarnation.

The three souls and six spirits of the Nether King were also nailed to the fire, ice, rotten water, and iron mountains of the Ahbi Hell, and without his edict, the Nether King could never be reborn.

In order to stop the resurgence of the Netherworld, he cut off the Hanhai with a sword, and part of it became the Han River, sealing the skeleton of the nine-headed lion king, the mount of the Netherworld. Part of it turned into the thorny and cold Styx, sealing the three souls and seven spirits of the nine-headed lion king.

Thirty thousand years have passed, and this once deserted Han River has established a powerful dynasty for the human race. But they didn't know that in the deepest part of the Han River, the skeleton of a holy beast that had once disturbed the heavens was not at peace.

"Hey, how can you regret chess, you old immortal?" a slightly old voice came dissatisfied.

"I haven't fallen yet, so it's not a regret move. Another slightly shrill old voice hurriedly explained.

Two old voices interrupted Li Leng's reminiscences.
