As the condensation of the foundation of the Beiyuan Xue family for hundreds of years, Immortal City has a prosperity that is not inferior to Tianjing City.

At the same time, there is a unique heroic atmosphere, highlighting the vastness and magnificence of the grassland.

Yu Nan obviously agrees with this statement, in the city of eternal life, the former Yuzhang Qilin is like a fish in water, and he does not want to return.

Dressed in snow-white clothes, handsome face, and warm temperament, Yu Nan walked on the street, just like a gorgeous cloud from the south floating across the blue sky of the northern abyss, attracting countless onlookers.

The woman who cared about her appearance dressed up as best she could, and her eyes were burning, staring at the face that was more beautiful than herself;

In the eyes of the men, there was envy and jealousy, but no one dared to go up and provoke, because as we all know, this person was a close confidant of the second prince of the prison state.

Yu Nan would go to the city every morning to walk around, relax and relax, and practice in the face of the rising sun.

The second prince, Xue Ming, is a cultivator who knows his fate, and he can understand such things very well, so he is generous and relieved to let him go.

Turning the corner in front of you, the second prince's mansion sits deep down that street.

A hawker carrying a burden and selling breakfast watched Yu Nan walk by, and shouted, "Guest officer, let's have a baked cake?"

Yu Nan had his usual smile on the corner of his mouth, and shook his head slightly, "No need." ”

"It's good to eat some baked cakes, and it's easier to do things. The peddler glanced at Yu Nan meaningfully.

Yu Nan's heart moved, and he said calmly: "Yes, then let's have a taste." ”

As he spoke, he took out the money from his bosom and bought one, staring intently at every movement of the peddler, lest he miss a single detail.

The vendor skillfully opened the cotton-wrapped drawer, took out a steaming pancake with a tong, and handed it to Yu Nan, who reached out to take it and nodded away.

Looking at the back of Yu Nan leaving, the vendor smiled, picked up the burden and continued to sell.

Yu Nan chewed carefully while holding the baked cakes as he walked, and the mystery of the scene just now quickly turned in his mind, forcibly resisting the urge to turn his head to observe, and walked towards the second prince's mansion.

"Bang" In a trance, Yu Nan didn't pay attention, and collided with a pedestrian all over the shoulder, and the baked cake that he had just eaten two bites in his hand was also knocked to the ground.

"Yo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

The man walked away briskly with his head down.

Yu Nan subconsciously wanted to bend down to pick it up, but at the moment when he was about to bend his knees, how could the dignified Yu Gongzi pick up a baked cake that fell on the ground?

But what if there is any confidential information in this baked cake?

Fine beads of sweat quickly oozed from Yu Nan's forehead.

A person quietly walked to his side, picked up the baked cake, looked at Yu Nan with a smile and said, "Young Master Yu, what is this?"

"It turned out to be Lord Liu, why, Lord Liu is from such a noble background, he is not interested in a half baked cake that fell to the ground, right?" Yu Nanqiang pretended to be calm, but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, because the person who came was one of the henchmen of the second prince, Liu Yi, who was born in the Liu family in Jinning Prefecture, is also one of the colleagues who are most hostile to Yu Nan now.

Liu Yi looked at the beads of sweat on Yu Nan's forehead and smiled coldly, "Of course I'm not interested in baked cakes, but I'm very interested in secrets, especially those that are unexpected." ”

Oh no, that's it.

If the matter is revealed, there will be no place for him to die!

Yu Nan's mind was in a hurry, and he even began to think that if he killed Liu Yi simply, at least there might be room for reversal, if he waited for the secret to be exposed, it would be too late.

But the most critical question is, is there a fucking secret in this baked cake?

If he was just suspicious of himself, but he killed Liu Yi because of this, wouldn't he not confess himself?

Cold sweat was left behind, and Yu Nan's eyes were hesitant.

"What's the matter?

Liu Yi tore the baked cake apart violently!

Hmm? Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Liu Yi's hand, Yu Nan's expression was relieved, and Liu Yi's smile froze.

No, there was clearly something wrong with that peddler just now!

Liu Yi hurriedly tore the two halves apart again, but still found nothing.

Yu Nan wiped his sweat, wiped the sweat on Liu Yi's shoulder, and patted him on the shoulder, "The descendant of the dignified Jinning Liu family actually competed with a broken cake that someone else had bitten half for a long time. In the world of this family, Yu Nan really doesn't understand!"

Yu Gongzi laughed twice and walked away, leaving Lord Liu gritting his teeth in place, angry and ruined.

Secretly, a man in black quietly left, came to the second prince's study, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Yu Nan didn't do anything to Liu Yi. ”

The second prince bowed slightly, slightly relieved, he still cherished this Yunan, if he was really a spy of the Southern Dynasty, what a pity.

Suddenly, a cronie hurriedly ran over, holding a small letter on the leg of a carrier pigeon, "Your Highness, the front-line military newspaper." ”

At the door of the second prince's mansion, the porter saw Yu Nan coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Young Master Yu, you're back!"

Yu Nan smiled and gave up his hand, treating everyone equally, and making everyone feel like a spring breeze, which is Yu Gongzi's consistent demeanor.

The porter suddenly whispered: "Beiyuan is defeated, and Emperor Yuan is dead." ”

Yu Nan's feet suddenly softened, and he almost stumbled to the ground.

The porter held it up, and said with a flattering smile as before: "Young Master Yu, but something went wrong with the practice?"

"Well, a little, a little bit of a brain pain, let me slow down. Yu Nan gently shook off the support of the doorman, pressed the turmoil in his heart, rubbed his head and walked towards the house.

Even the concierge of the second prince is a big spy, is Si Wencao so powerful?

What did he just tell me?

Beiyuan is defeated, what is the Yuan Emperor?

He's dead?!

Yu Nan couldn't hold on at all, sat on the railing of the corridor, covered his face, and was silent for a long time.

"Oh, Yu Gongzi, why are you sitting here!"

A Xue Ming's cronie came running with an anxious look.

Yu Nan raised his head blankly, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness is finding you!"

"Okay, I'll go over now!" Yu Nan propped himself up and walked towards the second prince's study.

"Oh, Brother Yu, you're here, come and take a look. ”

As soon as Yu Nan walked into the study, the second prince Xue Ming handed him a piece of information in his hand.

While watching, Xue Ming said proudly: "This is what I got through the top secret channels in the army, and it is definitely faster and more accurate than other people's news, so we can have a chance to strike first." ”

Yu Nan quickly read it twice and confirmed that the letter did not say that Emperor Xue Lu had died, but only that he was in a hurry and couldn't afford to get sick.

Especially after what happened to the concierge just now, Yu Nan has thoroughly seen the power of Daduan's secret spy, and he naturally believes in Daduan's channels more, he handed the information back to Xue Ming, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, why hasn't the second prince entered the palace to sit down?"

"Nonsense!" A voice suddenly sounded, and Yu Nan found that there were three people sitting in the study, and these three people were the absolute henchmen of the second prince, and Liu Yi of the Jinning Liu family was also among them, but it was not him who reprimanded Yu Nan.

Yu Nan looked at the person who spoke up, "Master Bao, with your high opinion, how should you deal with it at this moment?"

A thin-looking middle-aged man stood up, and at first glance, he was very in line with the selection criteria of the second prince, he straightened his clothes, and said loudly: "Your Majesty returned from defeat, this is the most sensitive time to power, you are now pushing His Royal Highness into the palace to sit in the town, and when His Majesty returns, how can you not be suspicious, so this is not to mention the merits of the country, but also to pay for His Majesty's suspicion and suppression, Yu Nan, what are your intentions!"

Yu Nanxin said: This is indeed good, but it is all based on the fact that Emperor Yuan is not dead, but now that Emperor Yuan is dead, it is different.

He suddenly sighed heavily, causing Xue Ming to frown and say, "Brother Yu, why are you sighing?"

Yu Nan found an empty chair and patted his knees and sat down, "I'm sighing, Your Highness is surrounded by people who were born and raised in Beiyuan, why don't you see the general trend of Beiyuan as an outsider like me?"

Liu Yi snorted coldly, "It's good to know that you are an outsider!"

Xue Ming glared at him coldly, he could tolerate disputes, and even deliberately create contradictions, but that was all the need for checks and balances, and it didn't mean that he would allow his subordinates to be stuck in personal grievances when they needed to do the right thing.

That Master Bao hurriedly pulled the corner of Liu Yi's clothes.

Xue Ming said: "Brother Yu has something to say. ”

Yu Nandao: "I heard that there is a tradition in the Northern Yuan that is very different from that of the Southern Dynasty, that is, the prince is not forbidden to privately store soldiers and horses, and there is no upper limit on the number of soldiers and horses?"

Xue Ming nodded, "That's true." ”

When Yu first heard about this, he was so impressed by the ancestors of the royal family who set up this regulation. After such a cruel cut, the one who can finally ascend to the throne must be the hero of that moment, and it is precisely because of this that the Xue royal family can stand on the top of the grassland for hundreds of years. The grasslands are vast and there are many strong men, if there is no hero, how can you command this group of tigers and wolves?"

"This is a well-known thing, do you need to show off there?" Liu Yi muttered.

Xue Ming glanced at Liu Yi coldly again, and his eyes flashed with disgust for this child of the Liu family who only had family background and skin.

Yu Nandao: "His Royal Highness has been in charge of the country for more than a month, and he can hold the power in his hands, which shows the talent of government affairs, and he has been running the army for many years, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the strength is strong, and now he has the help of the three princes, why worry about the big thing?"

Xue Ming frowned deeply, "But my father and the cowardly Xue Wei, as well as the Blizzard Wolf Cavalry, are still not something I can resist." ”

I didn't say I wouldn't fight, I just said I couldn't fight.

Yu Nan smiled slightly, "In history, is there a precedent for success?"

"Yes, and many. Xue Ming nodded.

Yu Nan said: "At that time, the Yuan Emperor didn't have these things, and His Royal Highness had to think carefully about their position. ”

Yu Nan looked at the people in the circle house, especially the old man who had been silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "What if, I mean, Your Majesty can't return to Immortal City safely?"

Xue Ming was startled, and the old man who had been silent suddenly stood up, "Your Highness, the old man agrees with what Yu Gongzi said!"

Xue Ming's expression was cloudy, and he suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and said in a deep voice word by word: "Enter the palace!"

---------------------

Xue Yong rarely didn't drink alcohol today, didn't arrange music and dance, and sat in the study.

The soothing incense burned on the table, and he drank the bland and tasteless tea one by one.

According to the previous information, today may be the day when the news of the great war arrives, and he must remain absolutely sober.

Even if he is addicted to alcohol, even if he is not drunk with a thousand glasses, he will not allow himself to miss the right thing today because of greed.

didn't wait long, a piece of information was sent into the study by his subordinates, Xue Yong hurriedly opened it, what was written on this information was no different from the one in Xue Ming's hand, saying that Beiyuan was defeated, Xue Lu fell ill, and all the teachers were in the class.

Xue Yong read it carefully, and calmly put the letter aside.

If you just lose, it's not a big deal.

He stretched, and it seemed that he still had time to enjoy himself today.

But he didn't leave immediately, but played with all kinds of utensils in the room, because he had to wait for information from another channel to confirm it.

It was only after half an hour that the top-secret information was personally sent into the study by the chief butler.

Xue Yong opened it and looked at it, and his expression changed greatly.

-------------------

If you ask who the most cunning person in Eternal City is, the young people may come up with a variety of answers, but the old people will only have one answer.

Yuan Tao, the minister of the Three Dynasties, personally untied the letter tied to the pigeon's legs, looked at it carefully, and was pushed back to the study, his brows furrowed deeply.

Suddenly, the butler ran to the study from outside, "Old lady, your letter." ”

Yuan Tao reached out and took it suspiciously, but no one had handed the letter to him for some years.

"Who sent it?"

"A noodle student, and he didn't have a registration number, so he said that he asked the old lady to open it in person. ”

"Got it, go down. ”

Yuan Tao opened the letter, glanced at it, and immediately quietly ordered the door, "Go and invite the master to the study." ”

He added, "Be quick." ”

The old man is naturally Yuanmei, and the old Yuan Tao has been successfully promoted to the old lady.

In these days, Yuan Mei is diligent, as if he has come to an enlightenment, not only to stop the dogs and horses, but also to read history books every day, although he can't see anything to enter, but he is better than an attitude.

He trotted all the way into his father's study, Yuan Tao waved back and said in a deep voice, "Go and close the door." ”

Yuan Mei didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly did it, and then said nervously: "Father, what's wrong?"

Yuan Tao looked at him, his face was cold, and his tone was resolute, "From now on, you are the absolute principal of the Yuan Mansion, all resources are at your disposal, and life and death are in your hands! You only need to do one thing, before I come back, close the door of the mansion, and refuse everyone's visits and invitations, no matter what they say." Everyone in the house is not allowed to go out or enter, and if someone is sick, he will stay up by himself, and if he can't stand it, he will die. As long as you do this well, my Yuan family will be rich and worry-free for a hundred years, if you can't do it well, then you will die. ”

Yuan Mei's legs were weak, he grew up under the protection of his father since he was a child, where had he experienced such a battle, a dignified Beiyuan noble, an important minister, and said with a crying voice: "Father, where are you going?"

"For the father's sake he will go out of the city. ”

"Where is the father going? Let the son do the work!"

Yuan Tao stretched out his hand and stroked his son's cheek, it was so good, it looked like me when I was young.

"Child, it's not that your father doesn't protect you, but only when I'm not there, you have a glimmer of life. ”

A man in black quietly appeared and pushed Yuan Tao towards the outside of the study.

Yuan Mei turned around and looked at the back of his father leaving, and suddenly said, "What if it is summoned by His Majesty?"

Yuan Tao's voice didn't hesitate, "Before I come back, don't pay attention to anyone, anyone." ”
