The second prince's words immediately made the people present cheer for joy. At this time, the performance in the arena ended, a group of dancers saluted, held on to the feather fans, and exited the porch with coquettish laughter.
At this time, the music stopped suddenly amidst a round of drumbeats, and the ceremony officer guarding the gate sang loudly: "The Ninth Prince Chuhu King Huangfu Taicheng has arrived!"
The audience was suddenly so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.
This is an "important person" that no one expected to be here.
One of the most competitive princes in front of the throne of the emperor, the ninth prince who is in the same situation as the second prince Huangfu Taixin, will come here? What a collision it will be!
The faces of all the officials changed drastically, and they all looked at "Wen Xiang" Wan Tu Duming and the second prince Huangfu Taixin.
The two of them looked at each other in blank dismay, never expecting to meet this most difficult opponent in the political arena, the Ninth Prince has always been at odds with the Second Prince, how could he come uninvited this time
The doubt in the eyes of the second prince Huangfu Taixin was uncontrollable, and he looked sideways at the concubine Yao Suxian, only to see the concubine smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Since there are distinguished guests visiting today, how can we not recommend it to our ninth brother?" Recommendations... "
Get off your horse!
The second prince Huangfu Taixin immediately understood the imperial concubine's thoughts, but he was still very dissatisfied with the way that the other party invited political opponents to the scene without his consent. However, relying on the strong support of Fengyi Pavilion, he naturally did not dare to express any displeasure. Immediately, he quietly gave a thumbs up to express his admiration, but the moment he turned his head, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Amidst the sound of drum music, a group of people rushed into the main hall.
The leader is none other than Ninth Prince Huangfu Taicheng. His eyebrows are somewhat similar to Huangfu Taixin's, but his face is stern, his eyes are full of compassion, and his body is tall, thin and long. His appearance was extremely calm and ruthless, in stark contrast to Huangfu Taixin, who was slightly fatter and had a kind smile on his face.
Immediately behind him, only half a step behind, was a Yingwei swordsman of similar age, dressed in a brocade robe, his body was as straight as a spear, his face was cold and plain, his waist was equipped with a strange-shaped sword, wider than the palm of his hand, and his length But it is only more than two feet long. The strangest thing is that there is a huge glazed orb at the end of the hilt, the folds glow under the light, and the dazzling part is like a blazing sun. Such a character immediately attracted everyone's irresponsible attention, especially a few foreign masters, who were even more interested, and they all raised their fighting spirit, and the vast majority of Chinese people instantly recognized that this person was Bei Ming "Sun Sword" Beiming Yuhong, one of the four great swordsmen of the family.
Behind the two of them was a pair of men and women in strong clothes.
The man has a long knife in his back, and is tall and tall, especially a pair of leopard eyes, which are particularly bright; Although it lacked the grace and luxury of the latter, it had more masculinity and fitness that the other party did not have.
After that, there were eight generals in Imperial Guard uniforms. There were quite a few local dignitaries in Luodu at the banquet. With just a quick glance, it was clear that the eight generals were representatives of the Ninth Prince's forces. Unlike the Second Prince's forces, almost all of these people were representatives of the military. .
The Ninth Prince Huangfu Taicheng started as a small lieutenant in the frontier army, and has accumulated military merits so far. In addition to being the king of Chuhu, he is also a general with real power and military power in the court. He has a deep relationship with the military veteran. He is deeply loved by the officers and soldiers, and is actually a strong enemy of the second prince's ascension to the throne.
The second prince saw that the other party was in such a battle, especially the Beiming family, one of the "Eight Great Aristocratic Families", was on the opponent's side, so he couldn't help but get a little nervous.
The Ninth Prince Huangfu Taicheng stood motionless at the door, and glanced at the guests in the arena with a sneer on his face. Except for the second prince's die-hard fans and outsiders, none of them dared to look at him.
The Ninth Prince is notoriously tyrannical and domineering. Even if everyone joins in with the Second Prince, they don't want to be the target of the opponent's attack. This master is just looking for trouble for them, which is enough for everyone to drink a pot.
Seeing the Ninth Prince looking over, Huangfu Taixin smiled slightly, and wanted to stand up to greet him, but Yao Suxian next to him grabbed his left hand and held it firmly, only then did he know how to hold back.
The Ninth Prince and the Second Prince were separated by a long distance, they just looked at each other and sneered, but no one spoke first, and the atmosphere in the venue became extremely tense and awkward for a moment.
"Wen Xiang" Wan Tu Duming secretly sighed that he was not good, this Ninth Prince is going to mess around here, I'm afraid no one will be able to clean up the situation.
Thinking of this, he exchanged winks with Man Wenting, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and the two stood up one after another. Wan Teng Duming laughed for a while, bowed his hands and saluted as he walked, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is finally here, let me Everyone has waited so hard, they should be punished, they should be punished!"
The Ninth Prince looked at "Wen Xiang" Wan Tu Duming coming, his face was expressionless, and then looked at Man Wenting behind him, he couldn't help a sneering smile from the corner of his mouth, Man Wenting's heart "thumped" when he saw it All of a sudden, I knew that I had been remembered by the Ninth Prince, and if I didn't make it here tonight, I wouldn't be able to step down.
Wan Teng Duming walked all the way and saluted repeatedly, but the Ninth Prince took a look and then ignored him, which made him very embarrassed. The other party was so shameless that he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Uh, Your Highness Ninth Prince, please take your seat!"
Wan Tu Duming stepped aside, but Huangfu Taicheng remained silent.
The second prince's face was a little stiff, and he said loudly: "Since the ninth brother is willing to come, why don't you take a seat here, and brother Rong Wei will introduce you to some world-famous heroes to the ninth brother?"
The color of confidence in Huangfu Taixin's eyes was released irresistibly, facing the Ninth Prince like a victorious peacock, wantonly showing off his most glamorous feathers.
Compared to the talent of the second prince, the people around the ninth prince are indeed weak.
The Ninth Prince Huangfu Taicheng smiled coldly, and led his subordinates to walk straight towards the main stage.
Seeing that the Ninth Prince was so obedient, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the Second Prince's expression turned pale, and he thought to himself: No matter how arrogant your old Ninth Prince is, you should not lose your momentum and be shocked when you see the heroes of the world here. I'm afraid, let's see if you dare to act presumptuously in front of me.
At this moment, everyone, including the second prince, thought that this master would sit safely on the vacant seat on the right side of the main stage, but he did not expect the gleam in his eyes to be directed towards the second prince's face. The host walked over.
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what he wanted to do.
The second prince still had a smile on his face, but it was a bit forced.
With an inscrutable smile on his face, the Ninth Prince stepped up to the main stage, "Wen Xiang" Wan Teng Duming turned pale with shock, and Man Wenting on the side suddenly stepped forward two steps to show his loyalty, stretched out his hand to stop him, and shouted: "Your Highness, please don't be rude, your seat is over there..." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side. Before he could say anything more, Huangfu Taicheng stepped up and kicked Manwenting right in the lower abdomen with a bang, kicking him Kicked out a distance of nearly ten feet, and with a bang, he vomited blood and was seriously injured on the spot.
The second prince's face turned livid, and seriously injured his cronies in front of him. The ninth prince's arrogance is no longer the slightest bit.
Originally, he couldn't bear it anymore, but the second prince who wanted to get mad was grabbed by Yao Suxian. With such a master of Fengyi Pavilion by his side, Huangfu Taixin was not afraid that the ninth prince would be rude to him.
Enduring crying and not getting angry, the second prince said coldly: "Ninth brother, as a guest, it's not appropriate to lose such a big temper in your second brother's house, right?"
But what everyone didn't expect was that the Ninth Prince looked up to the sky and laughed for a long time, turning a blind eye to the second prince's questioning, and turned his attention to Yao Suxian who was at the side, and said with a malicious smile: "Taicheng received Suxian The letter came to the banquet immediately... Hehe, I didn't expect to see you for a few years, you have become more beautiful than before, and your figure is much more mature and sexy!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the main hall was in an uproar on the spot.
It's too presumptuous, the Ninth Prince actually molested the master's wife in front of the master and everyone, especially the other party is the heir of Fengyi Pavilion, the concubine of the second prince, his own sister-in-law...
The madness of the Ninth Prince has reached the point of wantonness.
"you… "
This time the second prince got very angry and stood up abruptly, his face was flushed, and he was about to yell at the ninth prince by pointing at his nose. Unexpectedly, Yao Suxian gave a coquettish smile first, and said calmly: "Ninth brother really likes to joke. I can't think of it for a long time. He has become more stable, but even more glib... Now in front of the heroes of the world, he is not afraid of being laughed at."
It was still the Fengyi Pavilion disciple who had a calm mind and didn't fall for the opponent's plan. If the Second Prince yelled at the Ninth Prince at this time, his image would plummet immediately, and he would become a commonplace idiot who only speaks quickly.
The look of admiration in the Ninth Prince's eyes flashed away, and he immediately laughed, slapped his head and said, "Second Sister-in-law taught me a lesson, Ninth Brother drank a few more drinks with friends outside, a bit indulgent..."
After speaking, he turned around, waved his hands and walked to the empty seat next to him.
The second prince's face had returned to calm at this time, as if the incident just now hadn't happened, and he still kept the kind smile from before. In the eyes of everyone, in addition to being well-trained, he also gave people an unpredictable and profound feeling.
Seeing that the Ninth Prince was about to sit on the seat on the right, the Second Prince suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Ninth Brother!"
"kindness?"
Huangfu Taicheng turned his head with a worried face.
The second prince still had a friendly smile, and said affectionately: "The ninth brother is wrong, there is a seat for the honored guests invited this time, and the seat of the ninth brother is below him!"
"Oh? So, there will be someone with a higher status than me at this banquet?" The Ninth Prince sneered and said arrogantly: "Second brother knows my brother's temper. If he is really a hero in the world, brother will sit under him." The first one will only feel honored, if the person invited by the second brother is just for show, don't blame the younger brother for getting mad, and don't save face for you on the spot... "
