However, before Feng Jixing and Lin Muyu went out, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside. A guard of the Shenhou Mansion said respectfully: "Duke Fan, Lord Zhuang Yan, sent someone to send an invitation, saying that it would be a banquet at the Zuixian Tower in the imperial capital at noon tomorrow and invite Duke Fan to go."

"Zuixianlou."

Zeng Yifan frowned and said, "Call the person in."

"yes."

The person sent by Zhuang Yan did not look like a soldier, but a businessman. He was fat and bloated, with his horoscope. When he saw Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, he immediately smiled: "It turns out that the two of His Highnesses are here, that would be even better. You two are also inviting. Zuixianlou will be at noon tomorrow. This is the invitation from Lord Zhuang Yan."

He took out four invitations at once, not only Zeng Yifan, Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were among the invitations, but even Wei Qiu was among them.

"What is Lord Zhuang Yan doing?" Lin Muyu asked.

The sender shook his head and said, "The youngest one is just a sender. I don't know what the small one is. However, Lord Zhuang Yan said that there will be a shocking news in Zuixianlou tomorrow at noon. Please don't miss the Duke of Weiguo."

"Who else did he hire?" Feng Jixing asked.

"Well... the three high-ranking masters, the three grand dukes and many marquises have invited them. In addition, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, the Temple, the Lingyao Department and others in Lanyan City are all invited, with a total of about a hundred people."

"Okay, it's okay, go and tell Zhuang Yan that we will arrive on time tomorrow."

"Yes, that little one has surrendered."

After the sender left, the few people in the living room frowned.

"He is moving fast. Before we can do it, he takes action first." Lin Muyu said lightly: "This meal at Zuixianlou will definitely not be that delicious tomorrow at noon."

Zeng Yifan nodded: "A few days ago, I heard that Zhuang Yan also invited various princes and kings many times. Liu Xiyu, Su Changying, Zhou Heng, Zhao Xinbu, Yang Zhong and other princes were among them. The emperor only had 100,000 troops, while hundreds of princes had six or seven times ours. They were already the power of life and death."

As he said that, Zeng Yifan sat down and sighed, "It turns out that you can enjoy peace by defeating the Tianji Continent, but you didn't expect that the imperial rebellion had just begun."

Feng Jixing said: "Zhuang Yan and others have no good intentions. In my opinion, they should cut the mess quickly and kill the princes directly. Let's finish it all."

Zeng Yifan smiled slightly: "Your Highness, this time and then, it is no longer the time for you to kill hundreds of generals in Qichengguan. At that time, the main force of the Emperor* team was still alive, and Tang Lan is still there, and they are still afraid. Now, the chaos of the princes' army is no longer comparable to those of Tang Lu. Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, Liu Xiyu, which one is not an old fox. If they really kill them with our divine realm, their subordinates will lead the army to attack Lanyan City. The imperial capital can no longer bear such a war."

Lin Muyu said: "I'll go to Zuixianlou at noon tomorrow."

"Yes." Feng Jixing nodded.

Lin Muyu looked at Wei Qiu again and said, "Deploy two thousand dragon camps and put martial law around the Zuixian Tower. If something really happens, I would rather kill the mistake than let it go, and no one of the princes stays."

Wei Qiu clasped his fists: "Yes, my subordinates understand."

Feng Jixing pondered and said, "Do you want to tell Your Highness Yin and Princess Xi about this matter?"

"They just got freed from the war, so I'd better not want it. Let's make our own decisions. I don't think Xiaoyin and Xiaoxi will blame us either."

"good."

...

The next day, at noon, there were no other guests in the Zuixian Tower on Tongtian Street. They were martial law strictly by the guards of the Duke Army inside and outside. However, on the streets outside the Zuixian Tower, they were watched by the iron-armored cavalry of the Longtan Camp. Once there was any turmoil, the hundreds of guards of the Duke Army were naturally no match for the elite Longtan Camp who had been through many battles.

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing came to Zuixian Tower together. When the two entered, they found that Qin Yan, Su Yu and Zeng Yifan were already there. The huge Zuixian Tower had been conquered by Zhuang Yan today. No one else, and all the guests were important officials in the court.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice all came forward to salute, Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing gave a little greeting, which was considered a return gift. In fact, there was no need for this in their status.

Not long after, Zhuang Yan, Liu Xiyu and others walked out of the room. Zhuang Yan laughed and knelt down and said, "I will meet the three high men. It is a great honor for all the princes to admire the faces of the three high men."

"Mr. Zhuang doesn't have to be too polite, get up." Lin Muyu said.

"Then, please come to the table."

Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled, took Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan and others to the center of the big table. All the guests at this table were first-rank, three kings and three dukes, and there were also the Minister of War, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Revenue, and others. Each of them was a heavyweight who could make Lan Yancheng shake with stomp his feet.

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing remained silent. There was no good banquet, and there was no good thing today.

The delicious food quickly filled the table, and the wine was filled with fragrance. Lin Muyu and Feng have been marching outside for many years. They have no chance to taste the delicious food in the Zuixian Tower. Now they can't help but be greedy, but they still have to endure it. After all, something big will definitely happen today.

"I don't know why Lord Zhuang hosts a banquet to entertain us today." Zeng Yifan asked with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "All the masters are the mainstays of the empire. The three kings rule the world, the four dukes rule the world, and the five marquises conquer the four directions. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, etc. provide the most solid logistical support for the emperor. Only by working together can we drive away powerful enemy enemies. Compared with you, we, the princes who recruited soldiers on their own, are simply unqualified, but the army in our hands only recognizes our faces. So... The purpose of Zhuang's banquet here today is to be familiar with each other, prepare for the future cooperation and loyalty to the empire."

His loyal and courageous look is unquestionable.

Lin Muyu had no expression on his face. For so many years, the loyal and treacherous ministers knew at a glance that Zhuang Yan was obviously just a villain of power and strategy, and he was still 108,000 miles away from the loyal minister. So Lin Muyu said, "When will the meal start? I'm hungry."

"Ha, Your Highness, please wait."

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Today, in addition to you, the last general also invited a respected imperial royal elder. Only with him can the empire be truly prosperous and stable."

"oh."

Lin Muyu was a little unhappy and said, "Who is he? He can breathe such a big tone."

"We found this person in Tianshu Province. He has been hiding his identity for many years. He fled from Fairy Lake to the northeast of Tianshu Province and lived a hunter-like life. I think... His Highness Zhong Wang should be quite familiar with him."

Zhuang Yan took a deep look at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan was slightly stunned: "I..., what am I familiar with? Call the person here before talking about it."

"good."

Zhuang Yan clapped his palms and said, "Come here, please invite your highness."

Suddenly, the curtain behind the hall was lifted open, and an old man with gray hair came over with two guards. He was still energetic, but his face was extremely old. Everyone was stunned and always felt a little familiar. Even Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing were stunned. They seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but... they couldn't remember it.

Among the people, Qin Yan stood up slowly, walked over in a daze, and said in a trembling voice: "Father... is it you, Father..."

The visitor was the brother of King Jining Qin Jeong, Qin Jin, and Qin Yi.

Qin Wan's old tears were everywhere, and his palms trembled with his hands holding Qin Yan's arm: "Ayan... My Ayan has grown up. My father misses you and your brother every day. Today I finally meet you..."

Qin Yan burst into tears: "Father... We have been dead for so many years... Why, why are you here today."

Qin Wan said: "At the beginning, my second brother didn't listen to my advice and killed the emperor brother, and his brothers were slaughtered, but he didn't want to kill me, but just let someone go to the distance alone. He said that as long as I hide my name, I will not pursue it, otherwise I will definitely send someone to chase me. For so many years... I have been hiding in the mountains and no one knows... Ayan, your brother..."

Qin Yan burst into tears: "My brother died in the Lanyan City Rebellion eleven years ago."

"My Ale..."

Qin Jeong trembled all over. Only when he got the news from Qin Yan's mouth did he truly feel the pain of losing his loved ones.

Zhuang Yan walked forward, supported Qin Jie and said, "Old Your Highness, please sit down. Commander Qin Lei sacrificed his life for the country is the pride of the empire. You should be happy for him."

Qin Jeong nodded and took a seat.

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing stood up at the same time and said respectfully: "See Your Highness King Jining."

"I know you..." Qin Youyou said: "You are Lin Muyu, the adopted son of the emperor's brother, and you are Feng Jixing, the commander of the imperial guards."

“That’s right.”

"You are now the king's lord..." Qin Huan looked at the cloaks of the two of them and naturally knew their identities.

Su Yu said: "His Highness Ji Ning, Ayu was named King of Qin, Feng Jixing was named King of Xin, and your son Qin Yan was named King of Zhong. For so many years, it was the three of them who ruled the world of Qin."

"I know, I know everything..."

Feng Jixing smiled and said, "Your Highness King Jining is the uncle of His Highness the Empress. It is great that you can return safely. The empire has added another minister. It is really a blessing for the world. It is better... Your Highness will be escorted by us in a while and go to Zetian Palace to meet His Highness the Empress."

Qin Wan was stunned and didn't say anything. Instead, Zhuang Yan, who was standing beside him, said, "His Royal Highness Ji Ning was exhausted. Don't rush to see His Highness the Empress for the time being. It's better to wait for the court meeting tomorrow morning."

Feng Jixing said coldly: "When will it be your turn to be the prefect of the little Sunset City in your business for His Royal Highness Jining?"

His words were murderous intent, which made Zhuang Yan's face pale.

Lin Muyu quickly reached out and pressed Feng Jixing's wrist and said, "Brother Feng, let's talk about what His Highness King Ji Ning means."

Qin Jeong coughed violently and said, "Then... it's early tomorrow morning. I'm not in a hurry anyway. It's just so many years since I've been traveling between the mountains and fields. I heard and saw many things. I can write a memorial to present it to His Highness."

Lin Muyu nodded: "Yes, OK."

Feng Jixing glared at Lin Muyu, as if very dissatisfied.

Lin Muyu's voice came into Feng Jixing's ears like silk threads: "I know that Zhuang Yan wanted to control us through King Ji Ning, but we cannot act recklessly. After all, we should give King Ji Ning, the emperor's uncle, and give A Yan a better face. He just learned that his father was not dead, how could we pour cold water on this time?"
