At night, the lights of thousands of homes are lit up, and the entire Chujing is as bright as day.

According to what Shen Yun saw during the day, in this Chujing, there are many chambers of commerce, shops, inns, restaurants, and gefang gambling houses, which can be seen everywhere.

At this time, although it was already night, the entire Chujing was full of people and noisy, and a bustling and lively metropolis scene was several times better than during the day.

Shen Yun had also seen the prosperity of Qingyuan City and Yizhou County, but compared with Chu Jing's luxury and wealth, it seemed a little shabby and thin, and it was quite a little insignificant.

Speaking of which, the reason why such a scene is presented is naturally that the Son of Heaven of Chu has a good way of governing the country, Weijia is in the sea, and the country is peaceful and peaceful.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of Chu - Chu Jing, is naturally a song and dance, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the prosperous scene that a big country Kyoto should have.

Another reason is that behind the peaceful and glamorous scene, there are many dark sides. Many things, even many shady things, are only better done at night.

Therefore, the prosperity of the night is far better than that of the day, and it is not surprising that it is not surprising.

Located in the inner city, a luxurious and quiet "Tianke Building" has always been a high-end restaurant for court ministers and princes and nobles.

At this time, in a secluded "yellow" room on the third floor, a gorgeously dressed seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was sitting cross-legged on the bed, playing with a black token in his hand.

In the room, a "phantom sound array" is set up, and the sound can only enter and exit.

Now, this prince seemed to be careless, but in fact, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation of the officials downstairs and the princes of the royal family.

"Lord Wang, you made a meritorious contribution to disaster relief a few days ago, and you were exceptionally promoted by the emperor to a member of the third grade, which is really gratifying. ”

"Well, speaking of which, it is all the emperor's holy grace and blessing to the people, so that they can survive the drought, where is the credit of the lower officials. was favored by the emperor and was promoted by the saint, and the old man deserved it. ”

"Hey, what's the matter, my lord. However, when today's son is wise and wise, young and promising, it is really a blessing for us, a blessing for all the people, and with the assistance of the nine princes on the side, we must be diligent in public affairs to repay the grace of God. ”

"What Lord Lin said is extremely ......"

"Not bad...... Nice......"

......

"Brother Chu Wang, when you come to this restaurant, you are just talking about wine, why is Brother Wang sad and sullen?"

"Alas, it's hard to put into words. Although I am the eldest son of the Nine Princes' Mansion, I have never been favored by my father. And my father is dedicated to the country, and he has a lot of dissatisfaction with me, and even beats between words, which is really ...... , alas——。 ”

"Brother Wang, you are a prince, both civil and military, and you are very famous in the capital, and all the ministers are full of praise for you, so why should you compare with today's son?

"Brother Seven Emperors is serious, how dare I compare with the Holy One? It's just that Brother Huang, meeting today is to say goodbye to you. I have already decided that in a few days, I will invite myself to my father and go to the border to practice. In any case, I must get my father's approval. ”

"Brother Chu Wang, do you really want to do this? But ......"

"I have made up my mind, the Seven Emperor Brothers don't need to say more!"

......

In this way, the noble prince who was in the room had been hearing the present night since noon, but he had not heard any useful information.

What these court ministers, princes and nobles talk about is nothing more than some well-known things about the court, or their own unwillingness, and so on.

There are few gags, talking about which concubine, or talking about the secrets of the royal family, so that when this noble son heard it, he was disappointed and a little relaxed.

"It seems that in just three years, the three princes' competition for the throne has come to an end. At this young age, Xiao Thirteen has governed the great Chu State in an orderly manner, which is admirable. It's just ......."

Thinking of this, the light on the hand of this noble son flashed, and the black token disappeared in a flash, and he slowly walked to the window, looking at Chu Jing in the night.

This seventeen or eighteen-year-old noble son, dressed in fancy clothes, was none other than Shen Yun who had infiltrated Chu Jing.

And the black token he was playing with was the "Shadow Guard Order".

During the day, after entering Chujing, he did not delay, got into the carriage, took the official road, galloped all the way, and after an hour, he came to the "Chujing Chamber of Commerce" in the inner city.

After some inquiry, I learned that the Chamber of Commerce would fly by boat, and three days later, it would enter Ningguo and deliver supplies.

When Shen Yun heard the news, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Then, he changed his appearance, dressed up as a luxurious son, and lived in this "Tianke Building", wanting to hear some useful news from the mouths of these court ministers and royal children.

After all, the "battle for the throne" sixteen years ago involved a mysterious force, and it is likely to be related to this border disaster.

Now that I have a three-day buffer period, I can inquire in many ways to see if I can get some clues, which will be helpful for this "deficit mission".

It's just that if you want to find out something in just three days, you need some special means.

The fastest way is to explore the palace at night and see the party "Xiao Thirteen", or more directly, directly find the nine princes of the dynasty and ask what is going on.

However, this is the next strategy, and it is very likely to startle the snake and alarm the mysterious forces behind it.

And the other way...... , and not be able to gain anything in just three days.

"As a last resort, I really want to take risks......"

As soon as Shen Yun thought of this, his body turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the vast night.

......

The Imperial City of Chujing, inside a magnificent palace.

A young man in a dragon robe, about 16 years old, was sitting upright on a wooden chair, picking up the stacked folds in front of him, and reviewing them one by one.

On one side, there was an elderly eunuch with a lamp in his hand, waiting on the side.

"What time is it?" the young man in the dragon robe didn't look up, and asked casually.

"Back to the emperor, it's already time, your majesty, you must take care of the dragon's body, it's time to rest. The eunuch holding the lamp replied respectfully.

This young man is the son of Chu State, and he is also Xiao Shisan, whom Shen Yun once met in front of the White Horse Pass.

I haven't seen him for three years, but this young man has grown into a clear and resolute son, and he has been in a high position for a long time, and he is up and down, faintly revealing the inviolable majesty of the Son of Heaven.

"Well, you go down first, I'll stay a little longer. Xiao Shisanwu, who was dressed in a dragon robe, flipped through the folds and said lightly.

"The emperor is still working for state affairs, how can the old slave dare to step down first? I hope that the emperor will be gracious and allow the old slave to serve on the sidelines. The elderly eunuch followed the emperor for three years, knew the emperor's temperament, knew that he could not persuade him, smiled and said flatteringly.

"Well, whatever you want. Then Xiao 13 said casually again, which was allowed.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang knew that the emperor was working hard, so she ordered someone to send 'Qibao Lotus Seed Soup', should the emperor drink some. When the eunuch heard this, his heart was relieved, and he brought the lamp in his hand closer, and asked respectfully.

When the young son of heaven heard the name of Concubine Xian, his face remained unchanged, but a trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, and in the dim candlelight, he was not noticed by the eunuchs on the side.

After a while, Xiao Thirteen nodded slowly and spoke.

"It's okay, let's have someone send it up. ”
