The sky had gradually darkened, and as the last rays of afterglow were shrouded in darkness, it was dark inside the big (diàn).

"Knock, knock, knock. ”

The big bell in the palace rang suddenly, and the aftermath of the bell echoed (dàng) in the sky above the palace, as if awakening a sleeping beast, and for a while, all the candles in the palace were instantly lit.

The sudden brightness made people feel a little uncomfortable, as if countless small suns were burning at the same time.

Zhang Haomin hurriedly covered his eyes that were a little stinging, and then carefully opened his palms little by little, trying to make his eyes adapt to the light of this sudden visit.

"Damn, why is it so bright all of a sudden?"

After all, Han Yu was out of the high gate, and he already knew about this point in the palace, so the moment he heard the bell, he hurriedly closed his eyes, and as his eyes lit up, he slowly opened them.

So he was not affected by this light at all, and said very plainly.

"As soon as the bell strikes, all the lights in the palace will naturally turn on. ”

Zhang Haomin had gradually adapted to it, and then took his hand away and began to look at the big (diàn) that had become brilliant.

"Don't say it, after all the lights are turned on, Da (diàn) really looks better than before, and finally has the atmosphere of a dinner party. ”

The dim candle flame illuminates all corners of the big (diàn), and the murals and carvings that are not much noticed in the white (rì) are now all revealed at once, which can be described as magnificent.

But looking at it, Zhang Haomin found an important problem that he ignored.

You know, all the lights in this big (diàn) are not electric lights, but candle lights, and in the absence of fire (qíng), how do these candles be lit in a single moment?

Zhang Haomin really couldn't understand it, this was simply an unheard of grotesque thing.

He then glanced out the door again, and the candles on the tables in front of them were also lit on the tables in front of them, so he asked quite puzzledly.

"No, these are candles, could it be that they can still understand the bells?"

After Han Yu heard Zhang Haomin's words, he laughed and smiled at Zhang Haomin.

"Haha, you guy is really good at laughing, can this candle still be fine? ”

"Then why did they suddenly light up together?"

"The wicks of these candles are all processed, and there is a secret method on them, which is connected to the underground fire gathering array, and when the bell rings, the person in charge of controlling the fire gathering array will open the large array, and these candle lights will naturally light up. ”

After Han Yu's explanation, Zhang Haomin finally understood, it turned out that there was a fire gathering array under this palace, but he was still quite curious, what was the principle of this fire gathering array.

And since this formation is so convenient, why isn't there one in the sect?

"Isn't this fire gathering array a hassle?"

"Well, I don't know the specifics, but I've heard people say that there is nothing wrong with this shēn, it's just that it consumes a lot of Eternal Stones every time it is opened. ”

As soon as he heard that this required a lot of Eternal Stones, Zhang Haomin immediately dispelled the idea of making a fire gathering array.

And listening to Han Yu's meaning, this Gathering Fire Array is not only open and consumes eternal stones, I am afraid that the maintenance in the later stage also requires a lot of consumption, and it is completely a money-burning style.

"Then it's better to use manpower. ”

"Who's to say it's not, this Gathering Fire Array requires no less manpower than not using a Gathering Fire Array, checking, casting, maintaining, etc., the number of people in this series will add up to even more. ”

"Isn't this Gathering Fire Array just a beautiful ornament? ”

Han Yu glanced left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to the conversation between the two of them, he approached Zhang Haomin sideways (shēn), lowered his volume, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Now that Your Majesty is old, he likes these superficial things, and it is useless for anyone to say anything. ”

Zhang Haomin looked at Han Yu suspiciously, this guy is the son of the great general Han Ze, and Han Ze is a close confidant of Emperor Tianzhu, in other words, Han Yu can also be regarded as Emperor Tianzhu's (shēn) side.

It's such a guy who is actually talking bad about the Heavenly Emperor to himself, which can't help but make people secretly surprised.

So Zhang Haomin raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say with a wicked smile.

"You guy dare to say such a big rebellious thing, aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"

Han Yu rolled his eyes at this, seeing that Zhang Haomin was so out of shape, he didn't bother to say anything to him, in case it didn't really get out, it wouldn't be good.

At this moment, a beautiful maid swarmed from outside the door, and walked in with light steps with small trays.

They started to put the dishes from the front team leader's seat, one after another, like a cloud of peers.

There wasn't much on the table, just two side dishes, plus a jug of wine and a glass.

"Before the people on there were full seats, they started serving?"

The above person Zhang Haomin said was naturally the seat of the Emperor of Zhongtian, as well as the several seats distributed around him.

"It's just an appetizer, and you can't serve it until Your Majesty comes. ”

"Hors d'oeuvres?"

Soon, it was Zhang Haomin's turn to serve the food.

In the gust of incense of the maid, two delicate small plates were brought to the table, one with some kind of cold side dish, and the other with a few peanuts.

A pair of silver chopsticks, a crescent-shaped wooden chopstick holder, plus a pot of wine, and a small gold openwork cup.

"This tableware looks good, but this dish is really a little shabby. ”

"It's good to eat some. ”

Chen Kaiyu said angrily in the back, gobbling up, a small plate of peanuts was not enough for him to eat a few bites.

Ever since he drank those two bowls of fairy soup, his whole body had been emptied.

In addition, I didn't eat at noon, and my stomach was already hungry, and now I finally looked at something, so I naturally stuffed it into my mouth desperately.

Zhang Haomin gently picked up a peanut with chopsticks and tasted it, the taste was okay, but no matter how good it was, it was just a small dish of fried peanuts sprinkled with salt.

He tasted the cold side dish again, it tasted really good, there was a hint of sweetness in the soup, but it was not very sweet, and it was just right with a slightly bitter side dish.

"This dish is good, quite delicious. ”

Zhang Haomin put down his chopsticks, put them on the chopsticks, poured wine into the small cup, and said as he picked it up and turned (shēn).

"Come, let's have a drink first. ”

When he heard this, Han Yu had just poured himself a full glass of wine, and as soon as he raised his head, he drank it in his mouth, and the wine had not yet had time to swallow.

But the wine that has been drunk must not be spit out again.

Zhang Haomin looked at the empty wine glass in Han Yu's hand, and couldn't help but say angrily.

"Why did you drink so fast?"

"You said it was late. ”

Since he wanted to drink one together, Han Yu naturally couldn't touch the empty wine glass, so he had to pour himself another glass, fortunately, this wine was fruit wine, the degree was not high, and he didn't rush when he drank it, otherwise he would have to drink it continuously.

As for Chen Kaiyu, his mouth is full of stuff, and he has a mouthful of the soup from the side dishes, how can he still look like a prince, he is just a reckless man.

"Come on,. ”

"Dry. ”

"Dry. ”

The three of them raised their glasses and drank it all at the same time, and the sweet and sour fruit wine lingered on the tip of their tongues, which was simply a unique taste.

And just then, a male duck's voice shouted outside.

"The prince (diàn) has arrived. ”

Nan Li came in from the outside, and after seeing Zhang Haomin, he hugged Zhang Haomin with his fists, but did not stop.

None of their young group stood up to salute them.

However, when he arrived at the front leader's seat, many sect leaders rose up (shēn) to attack him, and it was obvious that his influence in the various sects was still not small.

Nan Li had just finished greeting and had only sat down for a long time, and before he had even sat down, the male duck outside shouted again.

"The Eight Princes (diàn) have descended. ”

Not long after the words fell, a guy who still looked quite immature walked in from outside, this was obviously the Eighth Prince.

I saw this guy holding his head high, walking forward without paying attention to anyone, obviously not caring.

Among the young people, none of them stood up and saluted him, but even if they saluted him, I am afraid that the so-called Eighth Emperor would not be able to deal with him if he was so arrogant.

As for the team leader seat in front, only five or six sect leaders stood up to greet him, and on the other hand, these eight princes ignored it and sat directly on the seat that had been prepared a long time ago.

Zhang Haomin noticed a detail, according to the regulations, the eighth prince should have saluted when he saw Nanli (shēn) as the crown prince, but not only did he not salute, but he didn't even pay attention.

At the same time, the male duck outside shouted again.

"The Four Princes (diàn) have descended. ”

After Zhang Haomin heard this voice, he was not happy, and secretly said in his heart.

"Could it be that this brother has been negotiated? Either he won't come at all, or he will appear one after another, and even the latter one will leave time for the former to greet everyone. ”

The four princes smiled and walked in from the outside, and then the disciples of the Da'an Academy on the opposite side and several people near Zhang Haomin all stood up and saluted the four princes.

The fourth prince waved his hand and said slowly.

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone sit down, you've worked hard today. ”

Even the four princes had already spoken, but they didn't see anyone sit down, and they all stood honestly.

The fourth prince glanced at Zhang Haomin, who was still sitting firmly on Mount Tai, as if he knew who Zhang Haomin was, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at the rest of the people who were still sitting by the way, and walked forward with a smile.

Suddenly, more than half of the team leaders stood up in their seats, and it was black.

Zhang Haomin laughed when he saw this scene, looking at this, Nanli this guy is probably not comfortable in Ping.

As a fourth prince, he has so many supporters, and he completely presents a crushing posture, which is not a small threat to Nanli (shēn) as the crown prince, and even faintly has the meaning of replacing it in the air.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haomin asked Han Yu with some curiosity, after all, Han Yu didn't stand up just now.

"Why didn't you stand up and salute?"

"Why should I salute them?"

Zhang Haomin glanced up at the innermost part of the big (diàn), where there were only two empty seats, one reserved for Xiaoyao and the other for the Heavenly Emperor.

This means that among today's princes, only the fourth prince and the eighth prince have the strength to win the crown prince.

Now that this person who can ascend to the great (diàn) in the future is probably born among the three of them, Han Yu, as a new star, does not say any of them, how can it not make Zhang Haomin feel strange.

"You are the backbone of the future imperial court after the general, don't you stand in a good position first?"

"I don't stand up, it's because they all want to win me over that my father tried every means to get me into the sect for refuge. ”

"But now that I see what the sect means, it is ready to cooperate with Nanli, and you are not equal. ”

"What is this? What about the Da'an Academy or the power of the Four Princes, can I not go back?"

Zhang Haomin thought about it, and Han Yu seemed to be saying the same thing.

And with Han Ze's current status, I'm afraid he doesn't need to deign to stand on which side, but instead has to be courted by these three people.

At this moment, I only heard the male duck outside shouting hard.

"Everyone is silent, Your Majesty has arrived. ”
