After passing through the road illuminated by the fluorescence of the torches, at the end, Huang Yuanwu and his party saw the end of the trip, the City Lord's Mansion of Shuinan City.

Several teams of heavily armed sergeants stood neatly at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, the gray light shining on their faces, everyone was expressionless, and the atmosphere of the whole occasion was extremely depressing.

Huang Yuanwu didn't care, he stepped forward and came to the front row of sergeants, and said a word softly: "Let." ”

The Beiwangfu sergeant in front of him was expressionless, looking ahead, not looking at Huang Yuanwu, nor looking up, but just lightly knocked the armor on his chest twice with his fingers, making a slight sound. Then, the sergeants on the left and right immediately separated from each other, making way for them.

Huang Zhengchu would definitely not do anything to Huang Yuanwu in such a place, Huang Yuanwu himself knew this very well, he looked at the city lord's mansion in front of him, and a kind old man was waiting at the door, smiling at Huang Yuanwu.

This person, Huang Yuanwu, naturally didn't know it, but he didn't care either, so he stepped forward and walked straight to the door of the City Lord's Mansion. And Huang Yuanwu's guards, lined up on both sides, stood head-on with the soldiers of the North Wangfu on both sides, blocking the entire passage inside, and protecting the safety of Huang Yuanwu as much as possible, which is also their duty.

There were less than two hundred guards led by Huang Yuanwu, and these people followed Huang Yuanwu into Shuinan City together, and at this moment, they confronted the soldiers of the North Wangfu in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and they were expressionless to each other, and now there were only ten people left by Huang Yuanwu's side.

General Liu Yi, the unknown general Liu Tianyang, and Huang Yuanwu's personal guard team of seven people.

Huang Yuanwu walked to the front of the city lord's mansion, turned over and dismounted, and the old man in front of the door immediately greeted him, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "The little prince of Yuanwu is coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!"

"Hmph, the hospitality of your Northern Mansion is really wonderful. Before Huang Yuanwu could speak, Liu Yi behind him replied directly, and the old man was not annoyed, just smiled wryly, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for Huang Yuanwu to enter the mansion.

Huang Yuanwu and his party of more than 200 people were riding war horses, and at this moment they confronted the soldiers of the North Wangfu, the war horses were left aside, Huang Yuanwu handed over the reins of his war horse to Liu Yi, looked at him deeply, did not speak, and did not enter the mansion immediately according to the old man's instructions.

Liu Yi has followed Huang Yuanwu for many years, so she naturally knows what he means. Immediately, Liu Yi took Huang Yuanwu's war horse and turned his head, handed the war horse to the sergeant behind, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone listen, the little prince enters the mansion and the king of the north to catch up, you stay here and wait, and strictly abide by military discipline." ”

More than two hundred members of the escort team, Yaqi was silent, they just looked at the soldiers of the Northern Wangfu in front of them expressionlessly, with indifferent expressions.

After Liu Yi said this, he turned around and nodded lightly to Huang Yuanwu, who smiled on his face and followed the old man into the City Lord's Mansion. Liu Yi and Liu Tianyang, along with his escort team, followed.

After Huang Yuanwu entered the City Lord's Mansion, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was immediately closed, and on the square in front of Nuoda's Mansion, Ya Que was silent, and the two teams of soldiers wearing different armor confronted each other, and the soldiers of the East Wangfu turned into two rows on the inside of the road, separating the two rows of soldiers from the North Wangfu who were more numerous outside the road, looking at each other, and the distance was also extremely advanced, almost facing each other.

Such a strange atmosphere makes the environment even more depressing. On the square, only the snorts of the war horses on the side could be heard from time to time, and the soldiers of the two royal palaces did not make any sound, like a pile of petrified statues.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, he suddenly opened up.

The City Lord's Mansion in Shuinan City is larger than the City Lord's Mansion in any city in the East Palace, and the area is even more than that

The land occupied by the East Palace. But this is understandable, after all, Shuinan City is the companion city of the capital of Qitian. And in the palace of the lord of the city, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the flowers are clustered, the building is carved beams and paintings, the pavilion pillars of each building, are carved with lifelike paintings, like a dream, and even the stone used to pave the ground is extremely luxurious warm jade, this kind of stone feels very soft when stepping on it, but in fact it is very hard, it is an excellent stone, the output is very small, it is generally only used to supply royal buildings, but I don't want to see it in the city lord's mansion in Shuinan City, and it is also used to pave the ground.

In the palace of the city lord, the lights are bright, and through the courtyard in front, a palace-like building appears in front of you, and the beautiful sound of the piano comes from the building, and the bold laughter of men can be heard from time to time.

Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly, this was a little different from what he imagined. The Qitian royal family has always been known for its simplicity, including the current Dongwang Mansion, all the senior generals are also affected by this, they don't like extravagant things, but they don't want the imperial capital's accompanying city, a city lord's mansion, is built so luxuriously, more extravagant than the palace compound, and this mansion cannot be built by the emperor Zhengchu, because he has not occupied this place for a long time, even if he has such a heart, there is no time.

This couldn't help but make Huang Yuanwu have some doubts in his heart, before everything happened, didn't His Majesty the Emperor at that time know what happened here?

"Yuanwu little prince, please inside. ”

Just when Huang Yuanwu was thinking about this, there were words in his ears to guide the old man, unconsciously, Huang Yuanwu had followed the old man and came to the door of the main hall, the sound of the piano and laughter in the room echoed in his ears, and before Huang Yuanwu could speak, the old man stepped forward and gently pushed open the door of the main hall.

The door of the main hall was gently pushed open, the sound in the room was still, and it was not interrupted, in the main hall, on the palace of Nuoda, a song and dance was going on, more than a dozen women wearing light yarn danced with long sleeves, the posture was light, and danced with the melodious sound of the piano, on both sides, there were full of wine banquets, the seats on the right hand were empty, and they were full of things for drinking and feasting, fish, meat and wine. On the left side of the main hall, a group of generals are sitting down, and they are drinking and talking at the moment.

Through the many singing and dancing women in the hall, Huang Yuanwu saw Huang Zhengchu sitting in the first place at a glance, and at this moment, his eyes were also looking at Huang Yuanwu, from this gaze, Huang Yuanwu saw a trace of chill, a trace of killing intent.

"Stop!" There was only one moment of staring at each other, Huang Zhengchu immediately got up, stopped singing and dancing, the dancer and the pianist in the hall, almost at the next moment of Huang Zhengchu's order, stopped moving, bowed to Huang Zhengchu, and then retreated quietly on both sides of the main hall, the whole process was very fast, obviously very strict training.

The dancing girl and the pianist walked out of the main hall through the side doors on both sides, and then, Huang Yuanwu walked in expressionlessly, and went straight to Huang Zhengchu, his guards followed closely behind, not leaving a step, and Liu Yi walked behind Liu Tianyang, observing his every move.

"Hahaha, Yuanwu, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you haven't changed much!" Huang Zhengchu laughed, walked down a few steps from the palace, and came to Huang Yuanwu, as if he had never seen Huang Yuanwu's appearance, and it seemed that he had never given an order to embarrass Huang Yuanwu and his party.

Huang Yuanwu remained silent and said softly: "You haven't changed much, but I want to ask why you didn't lead me in directly when you were at the city gate, but arranged for the sergeant to block the way." Why, do you have a grudge against your sergeant?"

"Hahaha. Huang Zhengchu laughed when he heard this, and said: "Yuanwu is really good at laughing, people who enter the city, as long as they are not from the Northern Palace, must hand over their blades, this is the rule." But I look at Yuan Wu's appearance, hasn't this matter been resolved, don't do it

I'm annoyed, hurry up and take a seat. Huang Zhengchu snorted, covered up this matter, and then made a gesture to Huang Yuanwu, the first seat on the right is obviously higher than the specifications of the other seats, there should be the seat arranged by Huang Zhengchu for Huang Yuanwu.

Huang Yuanwu didn't speak, turned to his seat and sat down, and then he motioned for Liu Tianyang to sit beside him.

At this moment, Liu Tianyang was already dumb in his mind, he didn't know why Huang Yuanwu wanted to take him to such an occasion from the very beginning, no matter from any angle, this was a Hongmen banquet. Huang Yuanwu led the team in, you can clearly feel the attitude of the North Wangfu towards the East Wangfu, from the trivial matter of entering the city, several times and three times difficult, and in Mingli, the North Wangfu seems to only have the hundreds of soldiers in front of the house, but everyone knows that this is the city occupied by the Beiwangfu, and in such a key position as the imperial capital, there must be a lot of soldiers from the Beiwangfu in Shuinan City. It is easy for Huang Yuanwu to come in, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out.

Liu Tianyang accepted Huang Yuanwu's arrangement and sat beside him, while Liu Yi sat in the order, as for the other guards, they did not sit down, they just stood silently behind Huang Yuanwu, faintly surrounded Huang Yuanwu in the middle, so as to avoid any emergencies and be able to act at the first time.

Huang Zhengchu saw Huang Yuanwu sit down, laughed, walked back to his seat, and sat down gently. It wasn't until now that Huang Yuanwu saw the seat of the emperor at the beginning of the year, and it was clearly a ...... The dragon chair, and the table placed in front of Huang Zhengchu, is obviously also the specification of the emperor.

Huang Yuanwu's seat specifications are all in accordance with the rules of the prince, and Huang Zhengchu's own specifications have indeed been made into the emperor's specifications. Huang Yuanwu couldn't help frowning tightly when he saw this, Huang Zhengchu had the heart to be the emperor of praying for heaven, this is almost known to the world, but Huang Yuanwu didn't expect that Huang Zhengchu even began to use the emperor's specification utensils, and then he immediately understood what Huang Zhengchu's arrangement and what he let himself come to the banquet for.

Huang Yuanwu set his eyes on Huang Zhengchu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, his face was silent, but there was murderous intent in his heart.

Huang Zhengchu also looked at Huang Yuanwu at this moment, with a smile on his face, but in this evil face, there was no trace of kindness.

He was testing his own intentions, his intention to ascend to the throne.

Huang Yuanwu deeply understood this, but now, he couldn't show his true meaning.

"Yuanwu. Huang Zhengchu looked at Huang Yuanwu, smiled, and said softly: "What do you think of this hall of Shuinan City?"

Huang Yuanwu was still expressionless, he hid the killing intent in his heart deeply, and replied in a low voice: "Very good." ”

"Hahahaha. Huang Zhengchu suddenly laughed and said, "Of course it's good, this is the residence of the prince of the empire, how can it be bad?" After that, he withdrew his smile, turned serious, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know how this mansion, this Shuinan City, came about? Do you know why this Shuinan City was established?"

Huang Yuanwu was unmoved by Huang Zhengchu's sudden change of face, and replied softly: "I don't know." ”

"You and I are both kings of the frontier, and our ancestors are all relatives of the previous emperor, but they were sent to the frontier to open up the territory for the empire, and they suffered from the bitter cold, and you see!" As he spoke, the emperor got up, pointed to the carved and painted hall, and said sharply: "Look at it, the descendants of the next emperor can indeed obtain such wealth, and the emperor actually built a companion city in order to ensure their interests and extravagant life, so that these idle people can live here and enjoy glory and wealth forever, why?"

Huang Zhengchu's words, Huang Yuanwu's heart was unmoved, but in the main hall, there was silence.
