Chapter 227: No worries about the night

Among all the officials, Cheng Situ's identity is even more special, and as soon as he entered the front hall, many people surrounded him and greeted him warmly.

He is about seventy years old, but his spirit is still full and strong, and he does not look old.

Lu Mingfei was not anxious, but secretly observed the old man, Cheng Situ greeted the officials politely, and sat on his seat under Song Yiyi's arrangement, it is not difficult to see between his words and deeds that although this person is old, he is an extremely sleek and sophisticated person.

Between his eyes, Cheng Situ seemed to have glanced at Lu Mingfei twice, whether he noticed Lu Mingfei's gaze was unknown, but he didn't show any abnormality.

There are many people, and Lu Mingfei didn't plan to have any contact with Cheng Situ at this time, so he could only wait for the banquet to disperse and then look for an opportunity.

With the arrival of Cheng Situ, everyone who participated in the banquet had basically arrived, but they could not start the banquet for a long time, just because the main master, General Liu Jinfang, went to the back hall and disappeared.

Still, no one would say anything, and there was a song and dance music arranged on the front desk, and more than forty aristocratic officials sat around four tables and kept talking, showing no anxiety.

Except for some recent incidents between the DPRK and China, the topics mentioned almost revolved around the war in the south, and although there was a lot of discussion, most of them were high-sounding rhetoric and had no practical significance.

After chatting for a long time, an official finally pulled away from the previous topic.

"It is rumored in the court that the prince will be selected in the near future, and Lord Cheng is the most trusted minister of the saint, I don't know what Lord Cheng thinks of this matter?"

One person just started, and the other person chimed in: "I heard that the relationship between Lord Cheng and the eldest prince is not shallow, and I don't know what Lord Cheng thinks about the selection of the crown prince?"

The topic talked about the dispute between the princes, and everyone's interest seemed to be a little higher, even more than the discussion of the previous war, after all, the choice of the official to stand in line with the court is related to the vital interests of these people, if the eyes are like a torch, once the new emperor ascends the throne, it is indispensable that the tide rises and the boat rises, and it will soar, but if it is wrong, it may not end well.

In the face of such a sensitive issue, Cheng Situ certainly would not express his position easily, laughing and silent, and remained silent no matter how everyone asked.

Lu Mingfei had a general understanding of Song Yiyi before, and Cheng Situ has always remained neutral in the current dispute between the princes, and has never publicly supported either side.

Although Cheng Situ didn't speak, some officials couldn't help but say: "Both the eldest prince and the second prince have endless talents, but after all, the eldest prince is orderly, and the eldest prince's martial arts are more outstanding in comparison, the prince."

It should be the eldest prince. ”

"Lord Xu's words are wrong, although the eldest prince is both civil and military, but if it is better than knowing people, being humble and quiet, humble and polite, then the second prince is better, for the way of the king, talent, wisdom, benevolence are indispensable, the second prince has benevolence and righteousness, and has the style of a monarch. ”

A simple argument immediately aroused an uproar, and all the officials present expressed their opinions and immediately joined the debate.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingfei knew that the dispute between the princes mentioned by Song Yiyi before was not exaggerated, and the competition between the two sides had reached a fever pitch, and it was even put on the table.

From beginning to end, only Cheng Situ and a few officials have always remained neutral, and have not expressed any views and attitudes, seeing that the situation is about to get out of control, Cheng Situ reluctantly stood up and said: "Okay, okay, don't fight anymore, today is to see off General Liu, as for the matter of the prince, the saint has his own clear judgment, no matter how much you say here, it will not help." ”

It seems that there is some kind of tacit understanding, and as soon as the words fell, Liu Jinfang finally walked out of the back hall, accompanied by him, as well as Yu Wanxi, the flower of Danqiongju.

Everyone immediately put away the previous arguments, and looked at Liu Jinfang with a little more envy, and Yu Wanxi, who was already outstanding next to her, changed into a chic dark blue long skirt, which was made of fine brocade and feathers, layered like a peacock with an open screen, adding a bit of gorgeous luxury and charm, and immediately made her the focus of the crowd.

On the other hand, Liu Jinfang still looked half-drunk before, with a smug look on his face, but Lu Mingfei vaguely caught a trace of inexplicable difference in his expression, but it was groundless and unclear.

Since Liu Jinfang was present, Song Yiyi immediately ordered his subordinates to open a banquet, several jars of wine and exquisite dishes have filled several large tables in a blink of an eye, Liu Jinfang said a few opening remarks with wine, and was about to sit down, when he suddenly heard a noisy shouting and killing sound from outside Danqiong's residence, and then saw his subordinates hurriedly running into the hall to report: "The Lord of the Great Prince's Mansion has arrived at night." ”

After hearing the rumor, there was an uproar in the crowd, and many people were extremely surprised.

It is no secret that the two princes compete for the crown prince's position, both sides are privately trying to win over the support of officials as much as possible, but they are afraid that the tongue has never been superficial.

A moment later, a young man in a gorgeous black robe, accompanied by several subordinates, walked into the Danqiong Residence with a spring breeze on his face, compared to everyone's surprise, when Lu Mingfei saw this person, he was already shocked.

The person who came was twenty-five or sixteen years old, handsome and high-spirited, and there seemed to be a different kind of aura on Zhou's body, which overshadowed everyone present as soon as he appeared.

But Lu Mingfei didn't care about this, what shocked him was that this person was not a stranger to him, it was the brocade-robed boy he met in the Invitation Moon Tower three years ago, because he inadvertently took away the other party's Hidden Yuan Pearl, which completely changed Lu Mingfei's fate.

As far as he knew, the experience of this brocade-robed boy was similar to Qu Xiaotian, who was taken away by another True Immortal He, and he was also Qu Xiaotian's opponent in the agreement that Hua Jiu Nian said.

The prince of the brocade robe did not have any reservations, and he didn't know what kind of encounters he had experienced in the past three years, and now he actually had the realm of the early stage of condensation, in the world of cultivating immortals, people who can break through the realm of condensation at such an age are already rare, coincidentally, today, Mu Xunlian and Yin Zhelu have also achieved such achievements at such an age, which can be described as amazing and talented.

Compared with three years ago, in addition to his rapid cultivation, the prince of the brocade robe has not changed much in terms of temperament and appearance, Lu Mingfei recognized him at a glance, but in the same three years, Lu Mingfei has already had completely different changes, standing in front of him again, the prince of the brocade robe has no impression of Lu Mingfei.

After careful investigation, Lu Mingfei felt that this person's cultivation strength was much better than Qu Xiaotian a year ago, and he didn't know if Qu Xiaotian had changed now.

The appearance of the brocade-robed boy immediately made Lu Mingfei fully alert, and he was even a little nervous unconsciously, not knowing why the other party appeared here.

Song Yiyi seemed to notice Lu Mingfei's strange appearance, and inadvertently came to Lu Mingfei's side and whispered: "This person's name is Ye Wuwu, he is a person in the Great Prince's Mansion, and I don't know anything else, it shouldn't be simple, be careful." ”

Lu Mingfei bowed slightly, and all his attention fell on this young man named Ye Wuwu, since he was not as good as the banquet hall, his face was always smiling, and there was a trace of evil between the smiles, after glancing around at everyone present, Ye Wuwu said with a smile: " General Liu is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is entangled in trivial matters and cannot come, so he specially ordered me to come here to see General Liu off, but just now His Royal Highness got the news that there is a secret spy in the Yelan Kingdom near this Danqiongju, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to General Liu, I dealt with it easily, delayed some efforts, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

Ye Wuwu said lightly, but when the officials present heard the words, they all changed color, and the originally lively banquet hall immediately became quiet.

"If you are interested, please come with me. ”

Ye Wuwu threw down another sentence, turned around and walked outside, everyone did not know the meaning of his words, but most of them were curious, and after a while, they followed him out.
