Chapter 102: East, West, South, North, Which Way Comes First
In the face of Chen Yuan's speculation, Prince Su looked depressed and did not answer, obviously having this doubt in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Let's just strike first, kill your eldest brother, and snatch the throne. Wang Zizi shouted in his mouth, obviously still resentful of Prince Su's abdication of the throne.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, has a different opinion.
"If your eldest brother is still afraid of you in his heart and wants to take this opportunity to completely eradicate the threat, then wouldn't you go to Kazama Castle to fall into the net?"
"Otherwise, you can just go back to the mountain, if the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, why do you have to wade into this troubled water?" Chen Yuan kindly suggested.
Prince Su hesitated a little, but after a while, his expression became firm again: "It's just some speculation now, if I really return here, wouldn't I think that the eldest brother is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"And if this matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother, but I am absent from his canonization ceremony, I am afraid that the eldest brother will be disappointed in his heart. ”
How could the mind of a child of the royal family be so fragile, Chen Yuan said in his heart, but seeing the resolute expression on Prince Su's face, he still gave up his intention to persuade him.
"Then let's wait and see, but if things are not harmonious, you must be prepared to run away at any time, but you can't afford to take your life for the sake of watching the ceremony. Chen Yuan said helplessly.
Knowing that Chen Yuan was also kind, Prince Su nodded vigorously.
Chen Yuan's carriage was already shattered, but Kazama City was already close at hand.
Kazama City, as an imperial city, is naturally not comparable to the likes of Heavenly Fire City and Fengyun City.
The towering city walls stretch for more than ten miles, making it impossible to see the end at a glance.
The black bricks were extremely thick, and there was light flowing on them from time to time, apparently reinforced by runes.
When they came to the city gate and accepted the routine inspection of the soldiers at the city gate, Chen Yuan and the others were secretly on guard, ready to take action immediately if something was wrong.
But Chen Yuan and the others were obviously overthinking, the process of entering the city was extremely smooth, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw Chen Yuan and Prince Su wearing Ying Tianzong's clothes from a distance, and they both bowed down respectfully and saluted, and then let them go without even making routine inquiries.
Crossing the city gate, the eyes are suddenly wide, and the traffic is full of pedestrians, and the bluestone paved avenue with a width of ten zhang is crowded to the full.
Just when Chen Yuan was dizzy and secretly admired, an old man greeted him and called out in surprise: "Lord Wang, you can come back." ”
When Prince Su saw the visitor, he also smiled and shouted cordially: "Old Xia, why are you here?"
"The day before yesterday, the news came back, saying that you will come back to participate in the canonization ceremony of the eldest prince, the old slave calculates the time, you should come back in about two days, so since yesterday I have been waiting for you at the city gate. ”
Prince Su said softly: "It's hard to get old. ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's just the duty of the old slave," Xia Lao waved his hand again and again.
Then he saw Chen Yuan and the others beside Prince Su, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Presumably you are the same disciples of my family's prince, the senior disciples of Yingtian Sect are really rich and jade, and they are ......."
As he spoke, it was Wang Zizai who suddenly came out from behind Chen Yuan and looked at this Xia Lao curiously.
Looking at Wang Zizai's messy bird's nest-like hair, tattered clothes, and gray and white face, Xia Lao puffed out his cheeks and squeezed out the remaining two words with difficulty: "People, talents." ”
Because of the fear of rudeness, Xia Lao stopped looking, turned his head and talked to Prince Su: "The queen mother misses the prince very much, and she came to the mansion yesterday, so the prince will go back to the house with the old slave." ”
After speaking, Xia Lao looked at Chen Yuan and issued an invitation: "A few Taoist elders should also go together, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord in Dingnan Wangfu." ”
Chen Yuan happily agreed, the promotion meeting will not start until two days away, which just saves the effort of finding an inn to settle down, and can also appreciate the luxurious life of the royal family by the way, isn't it.
Because there was only one carriage for the prince, Xia Lao originally apologized and hoped that Chen Yuan and the others would wait for him to transfer it from the palace later.
Prince Su stopped Xia Lao and shouted Chen Yuan and the others to get into the car together.
Chen Yuan and the others naturally didn't care whether their behavior was arrogant or not, and they all got into the king's drive.
In the end, Xia Lao could only shake his head and helplessly drove the carriage to the palace.
In the royal car, the gorgeous decoration naturally does not need to be mentioned, and the space is wide enough, and the four people and one dog are in it but it does not seem crowded at all.
Chen Yuan looked at Prince Su and asked, "Is the Dingnan Palace's Mansion your mansion?"
Prince Su nodded: "Originally, it was supposed to be after the prince reached the age of sixteen before he could open the mansion and build a government, but thanks to my father's love, I gave this house when I was ten years old, and later even if I knew that I was going to ask for Taoism in Tianzong, I didn't take it back, but kept it for me." ”
Chen Yuan nodded clearly: "It seems that your father is really good to you, no wonder your eldest brother has always been like a throat towards you before." ”
"However, your name is Su Xiannan, so you will be crowned the king of Dingnan, which is too simple and rude. ”
After a while, Chen Yuan suddenly burst out laughing.
Under the inexplicable gaze of others, Chen Yuan explained: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of something funny." ”
Then, Chen Yuan looked at Prince Su and asked with a smile: "You are the third prince, so your name is Su Xiannan." Isn't your eldest brother named Su Xiandong, your second brother called Su Xianxi, and then there is a fourth brother named Su Xianbei?"
Prince Su was silent, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Chen Yuan opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "It can't be true, right? ”
Prince Su explained with a gloomy face: "When my father first ascended the throne, he was ambitious and high-spirited, but he drew his sword and looked around at a loss, so he had our name......
"Oh, I see," Chen Yuan nodded, "At first, I thought it was in the order of east, west, north, south, and middle. ”
"What do you mean?" Prince Su was a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's an ancient mantra, you don't understand," Chen Yuan explained casually.
Just when Prince Su didn't know why, the palace arrived.
A little wind and dust, no need to be detailed.
After greeting his mother, Prince Su proposed that he wanted to go to the palace to meet his father, and also meet his eldest brother who was preparing for the canonization ceremony.
Chen Yuan was a little suspicious, and said: "Why don't I go with you, if there is any change at that time, I can also help one or two." ”
Prince Su thought about it for a while, and was about to say yes, but was interrupted by Li Wei's sudden interjection.
"Come on, just like you, if you can't protect yourself if you have something, you still want to help others?" Li Wei glanced at Chen Yuan with disdain.
Well, Chen Yuan was choked speechless.
"Let's go to the old lady, it just so happens that I have never visited the palace. ”
