Within half a month.
Canglan Kingdom's royal family members and border ministers from all counties across the country entered the royal city with a large number of personal followers and soldiers.
In the royal city, a storm suddenly arose.
There are many outstanding members of the royal family, top Wuhou realm masters on the "Canglan Bright Moon Ranking", some highly prestigious ministers of the border areas, and people with illustrious reputations. They are like the prince across the river in the royal city.
The palaces of court ministers in the city were brightly lit and stayed on all night long.
Many of the top luxury restaurants on the street are more than ten times more lively. You can see many powerful people visiting frequently and connecting with each other everywhere.
All the princes are preparing for the upcoming birthday banquet of the monarch and increasing their momentum.
Everyone knows that Lord Canglan is seriously ill and will not go to court for a long time. Rumor has it that he cannot survive for a month and is about to die.
The new king of Canglan is about to be born from among the strongest princes. The second prince, third prince, and fifth prince are all the most promising to ascend to the position of the new king.
Several princes were eager to win over their own power, and the ministers were also eager to curry favor with the future new king. Naturally, there was a lot of excitement.
In particular, the second prince Ling Feihui, who was the most powerful, often took his extremely beautiful son Su Yang as his personal adviser to visit the court ministers and frontier ministers in the royal city.
For a time, the second prince Ling Feihui and the beautiful young master Su Yang became famous in the royal city and became the center of attention.
…
In the royal city, there is a mansion where the second prince is staying.
The second prince, Ling Feihui, had just gone to the Ministry of War Minister's Mansion to entertain. After drinking a lot of wine, he came back satisfied. He took off his python skin robe and armor drunkenly and lay down on the couch in the bedroom to rest.
Su Yang waved his feather fan to fan the second prince with a gentle breeze, and said softly: "Second prince, I sent someone to inquire. Recently, there was an Imperial College student named Ye Fan in the royal city, who was very close to the palace. He passed Princess Jiaojiao's line is giving advice to the queen! It was his idea to recruit all the royal family members into the royal city to celebrate the monarch's birthday again and prepare to deal with us in the royal city! I sent someone to check, this person is Donglai A man from the county acts extremely viciously, and his heart is blacker than black ink. If others offend him in a small way, he will kill them. His methods are extremely vicious, and he can often kill people without a burial place with just one or two words. 2. I must be on guard and get rid of him as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, a ferocious look appeared on Su Yang's handsome face.
"Ye Fan?"
The second prince lay there with his eyes closed and fell asleep for a while. Without remembering who it was, he asked calmly, "I have never heard of an unknown person who appeared out of nowhere? Do you have any way to get rid of him?"
Su Yang is not only stunningly beautiful, but after following him for more than a year, he has become one of his top advisers and has won his favor.
Many of his things will be left to Su Yang.
Su Yang's scheming was also very good. For things like investigating the enemy's situation in the royal city, Su Yang had already investigated the details of his important opponents without giving any orders.
"Ye Fan stays in the Imperial College on weekdays, and often goes out with some of the supervisors. They are all a group of Wuhou-level figures. It is difficult for our manpower to assassinate him! And Princess Jiaojiao rarely goes out in the palace, and she can't kill him. A line to control the palace. If not, I would have sent someone to deal with him long ago!"
Su Yang said with some regret.
"Forget it, tomorrow is my father's birthday ceremony, which is a key battle for me to ascend to the throne. My father will definitely not survive this month. Once he dies, the queen, princess and mother and daughter will immediately become decorations, and the boy will be insignificant. It's not too late to kill him! Ye Fan is just a nobody. I don't believe that he is just a supervisor of the Marquis of Wu, but he can touch this prince. The queen and the princess are struggling to their death. They want to set up a Hongmen Banquet to take down the prince when he enters the palace. But they are just a mantis trying to block the car, and the grasshoppers will only be jumping around after autumn for a few days! Now I have to think about how to deal with the third master and the fifth master, and establish the majesty of my prince at the birthday banquet! "
The second prince waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Yes! Everything has been arranged! Three hundred Fengwan heavy cavalry are waiting for orders outside the palace at any time, at the disposal of the second master! The other Wuhou followed the second master into the palace. Among the imperial guards guarding the palace, there were also several A young general led thousands of imperial troops and took refuge with the Second Master! Coupled with the royal family members, important court ministers and border ministers, the Second Master has a 50% chance of winning!"
Su Yang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a subtle glare flashed, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The Second Prince accidentally caught a glimpse of the slight smile on his dreamy and exquisite face, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
"Su Yang, in order to help me ascend the throne, you have sacrificed too much! I will treat you well in the future!"
"Thank you, Master!"
…
The next day.
Canglan Palace.
The rising sun is rising in the east, and the red light shines on the splendid Jinluan Hall, which is particularly vivid.
Inside and outside the palace, tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Forbidden Army have been strictly guarding the palace, strictly interrogating everyone who comes in and out.
The birthday of the king is about to begin.
All the royal family members, court ministers, feudal ministers, and even their descendants entered the palace one after another and came to the magnificent Jinluan Hall to congratulate the monarch on his birthday and took their seats one by one.
Dozens of Wuhou's supervisors from the Imperial College attended the ceremony early.
Ye Fan was dressed in the silver robe of Marquis Wu of the Imperial College, with a calm expression on his face, sitting upright in the special seat of the Imperial College.
Even Mu Bing, Cao Youwen and others were beside him, and they were already the Wuhou supervisors of the Imperial College.
Many courtiers were very surprised when they saw them. How could these Imperial College supervisors attend the monarch's birthday?
The Imperial College is a future courtier, but before he has participated in the imperial examination to obtain formal status, his status is rather embarrassing. The seats in the upper and lower rows are not suitable. Such state activities generally do not occur.
It was a bit strange this time. A group of Wuhou from the Imperial Academy actually came and took a separate seat. Together with the royal family members, court ministers, and border ministers, they formed the four major groups in the Golden Palace.
The feudal ministers of Donglai County, Li Zhouying, Pan Dahai, Cao Hao and others, led a group of people from Donglai County into the main hall and went to the seats of the feudal ministers in the hall, passing by the seats of the Imperial College officials on the way.
Seeing that Ye Fan, Cao Youwen and Mu Bing have all become Wuhou, sitting together on the banquet of the Imperial Academy.
Li Zhouying, Pan Dahai, Cao Hao and other ministers of Donglai County were all shocked and almost stunned by this scene.
"Ye Fan...Youwen, why are you here?"
Ye Fan and the other three are all from Donglai County.
In just over a year, Donglai County has gained three more Wuhou, which is simply unimaginable. After Ye Fan and the others became Wuhou, the news never reached Donglai County. They only found out today.
If you add in the ancient cold sword that has been practicing in Donglai County and recently broke through Wuhou, then Donglai County has added four Wuhou in one year.
"Grandpa! Didn't you expect that I would also become a Wuhou!"
When Cao Youwen saw Cao Hao, she stuck out her tongue and hurried over with a playful smile.
Dean Cao Hao couldn't help being surprised, and said to Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, you didn't say a word in Xia Yang County, and you just kidnapped my granddaughter and ran away! I haven't seen you for a year, and you are already the Marquis of Wu! Look at You Wenxiu For the sake of improvement, I won't hold you accountable! Let's go have a few drinks later!"
"Master Cao, you can't accuse me unjustly. I didn't take Youwen away, she left home to practice on her own! She has been practicing in the royal city with Mu Bing, Qin Yuer and others in the past year. I only found out about her not long after I came back from overseas. Became Wuhou."
Ye Fan said awkwardly.
"I've met Princess Li and General Pan!"
With that said, Ye Fan, Mu Bing and Cao Youwen paid tribute to Li Zhouying, Pan Dahai and other ministers of Donglai County. They all have the status of Wuhou, and they all receive gifts as equals.
Li Hao, Pan Yun and other young warriors followed him into the Golden Palace as the heirs of the feudal minister.
When Li Hao saw Ye Fan, his face could not help but sink, and an unknown jealousy rose in his heart.
He is the majestic young princess of Donglai County. Only by following his father Li Zhouying can he be qualified to enter the Golden Palace to celebrate the birthday of the monarch. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to enter the palace at all.
But Ye Fan, who had already become the Wuhou of the Imperial Academy, had a place in the Jinluan Hall and had friendships with other Wuhou peers.
Naturally, he felt very uncomfortable.
Pan Yun had nothing to do with Ye Fan, and he was quite impressed by Ye Fan. He bowed his hand to Ye Fan and said, "Pan Yun has met Mr. Ye!"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
After being polite, Li Zhouying, Pan Dahai, Cao Hao and others went to the seats where the ministers of the ten major counties were sitting.
Ye Fan sat down again and looked at all the guests entering the Jinluan Hall.
Ye Fan already has a vague idea about the culprit who murdered the monarch, but he has not yet determined who it is. He must carefully look at every person who enters the palace to celebrate his birthday before he can make a final decision.
…
After a moment, the second prince Ling Feihui led more than ten Wuhou and his personal entourage and stepped into the Jinluan Hall. Suddenly, the second prince's voice was heard in the hall.
Ye Fan soon saw a beautiful young man entering the Jinluan Hall beside the second prince.
Su Yang's cunning eyes swept across the ministers in the palace, and soon fell on Mark. He gave him a hateful look, and followed the second prince to the seats of the royal family members in the palace.
"Sure enough! It's causing trouble!"
Shang sighed.
"It will be easy to find the target! Since it was the second prince's men who murdered the king, the mastermind is the second prince... But the way it looks at me is a bit strange!"
Ye Fan mused, thinking back to Su Yang's hateful look at him, he felt a little strange.
"You have forgotten that Zhao Sanming's top-notch fox beast a few years ago was not captured, but escaped!"
Shang Yi smiled.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right? It's Zhao Sanming's fox beast?"
Ye Fan couldn't help but look shocked, a little unbelievable.
"The best fox beasts are rare. They are rare species. It is impossible for many of them to appear at the same time. You ruined Zhao Sanming with just one sentence. It will naturally hate you deeply. This beast is extremely talented and extremely rare among the fox beast clan. The fox clan It has extremely high skills and incomparable intelligence. Once it can speak human language and become a human being, its intelligence even exceeds that of most humans. Moreover, this kind of fox beast likes to hang out among humans, and is more comfortable among humans than among beasts. Moreover, the fox beast is extremely intelligent and likes to play with power. If it goes into the palace, it can obtain a large amount of cultivation materials. After it becomes the fox master, it has been able to master the beast transformation technique of transforming into a human form. In order to cultivate the materials, it naturally goes all out to It's been drilled into the prince's mansion and the palace. It's not surprising that you will encounter it."
Shang said.
Ye Fan was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect it to have such a big relationship with him, and he was helpless.
What he said back in the Luyang Mansion's Beast Taming Pavilion forced Zhao Sanming and this top-notch fox beast to a desperate end, one being imprisoned and the other escaping.
Now the fox beasts have strayed into the Second Prince's Mansion and even Canglan Palace, causing even greater harm.
