The capital of the sea of clouds - "the city that never sleeps".
A veritable name, thousands of candles are still lit even at night. As the capital city of the most commercially developed territory, the people in the city that never sleeps can be said to have the richest nightlife. Night markets are open, restaurants are open all night, and operas linger for a long time. No territory is as free as the sea of clouds, including the capital where the royal family lives.
It was getting late, and three or four candles were lit in a room. The lights were a bit dim, but the scenery inside the room could be vaguely seen.
Sitting on the ground was a young man in his late thirties, with a serious face, closed eyes, and pursed lips, giving off a calm and mysterious feeling. He put his hands on his lap, straightened his waist, and seemed to be half asleep, without making a sound.
After a while, the door creaked open, and a man in a white robe stepped into the room.
The man who was already sitting in the house said:
"I thought you were afraid to come."
The white-robed man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a fair and handsome face, and said with a smile:
"I have always regarded myself as a gentleman, and my eldest brother must be the same."
When he smiled, he showed his white teeth.
The man in white robe is the second son of Yunhai, Baifeng.
And the person who was sitting in the house and waiting for him was naturally the eldest son of Yunhai, Bai Ye who had always been a low-key man and low-key person.
Although the contradictions within Yunhai are not as great as other families, there is also a problem of competition for heirs. The eldest son, Bai Ye, was quite well-behaved, he was a man of success, and he was originally the candidate to inherit the sea of clouds, but the second son, Bai Feng, was so outstanding that his light completely overwhelmed the inconspicuous Bai Ye.
For a while, the situation became treacherous.
But Baifeng also has a serious problem, that is, while inheriting his father's brilliant talent, he also inherited blood cold syndrome inherited from the family, and his life span is not long.
Bai Ye said:
"I'm not like you, I have a reputation as a gentleman; but I won't cheat you with such a cheap trick."
Bai Feng smiled and said:
"I know. Big brother values love and righteousness. You and me plus Ah Huang, the relationship between the three of us has always been very good... Even now that we have to decide between you and me, I still treat you as me Brother."
Bai Ye said:
"That's why you let Ah Huang go to Yuxi City."
"Her identity is too sensitive. If she stays in the city that never sleeps, she will definitely become a pawn in the hands of some people."
"Even if you and I don't want to involve her?"
Bai Ye shook his head and sighed.
Bai Feng smiled and said:
"Everything is not up to you and me to decide now, isn't it? You who said to me back then, 'If you are promising, I am willing to abdicate to the virtuous', aren't you also sitting here now, sitting on the opposite side of me? "
Bai Ye said in a deep voice:
"Yeah. I gradually have someone I want to protect, so I have to fight for it."
Bai Feng asked tentatively:
"Can't you quit?"
Bai Ye shook his head and asked back:
"Can you?"
Bai Feng smiled and said nothing.
Both stood up, Bai Ye stretched out his hand, and Bai Feng took it. The hands of the two brothers, Bai Ye's is rough and full of calluses, while Bai Feng's is white and soft, but very cold. Bai Ye hesitated and said in a low voice:
"If I lose, take good care of Ah Huang and Yun Hai."
Bai Feng nodded seriously.

Lingwu Territory · Lord's Mansion.
The Lingwu Territory is located to the north of the thirty-six lords, next to the Giant Clan, one of the "Six Middle Clans". The giants have a huge body and strong skin. They used to be enemies of the gods, and they are more difficult opponents than the demons. Because of the serious internal strife among the demons, most of the people who invaded the human territory were some low-level demons with a strength of around one or two layers. Only relying on their numerical advantage, the actual threat was not great. But the giant family is different. Although there are very few large giants with more than ten layers of strength attacking, occasionally there will be giants with strength above eight layers that invade the border.
And the Lingwu Territory can still be defended, its strength is self-evident.
Some people estimated that one of the three masters with the tenth level of swordsmanship should be in the Lingwu territory. In the Lingwu Territory, there should be no less than fifty people who have cultivated various martial arts to the eighth level or above. In addition, it is known that there is a magician with the eighth level of magic, and a magician with the ninth level of magic. If the strength of the Sea of Clouds Territory ranks in the top ten in Eternal Heaven, the Lingwu Territory is conservatively estimated to be in the top three. It's just because a lot of power was used to defend the giants in the north from going south, which involved some energy.
In the lord's mansion, a woman covered with a red veil sat on the stage. Looking at the eyebrows and eyes, she is about twenty years old. Although she can't see her real face, only half of her face is enough to make a country and a city. The bright red embroidered dress on her body not only does not look vulgar, but on the contrary brings out her dignity even more. Although the loose red dress concealed the uneven figure, but the pair of straight beautiful legs revealed from the skirt was unobstructed. The waist-length blue hair fell to the ground as she sat down lazily. The woman gently picked up a letter on the table and whispered:
"Bai Yiqing's entry into the imperial city...is not a good omen."
There was a knock on the door, and the woman sat up a little, and said:
"come in."
A girl dressed as a maid walked in with a stack of heavy documents, put them on the table, and said respectfully:
"This is the latest document and news, please read it, Lord Lord."
The woman in red said calmly:
"Back off... um. Wait a minute. I asked you about Yuxi City earlier. Is there any news?"
The girl lowered her head, not daring to look into the lord's eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Yes. The lord of Yunyang severed his relationship with Li De, which means he was expelled from the territory of Yunyang."
The woman in red said "Oh" and said:
"The old Yunyang thief can only do things in the nest. Two people were selected from the three guards of Lingwu to sneak into Li Neng's fief secretly. If Li De wants to go east, don't let him go too smoothly. But don't let him It will be seen that we are against him."
The maid nodded in response. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but stopped talking.
The woman in red glanced at her and said:
"Alian, you have been with me for three years. If you have something to say, just say it."
The maid named Alian asked softly:
"My lord, Yuxi City is not as bad as we originally imagined. The chess pieces buried by Xing Zhizhi before were caught by the cloud sea white phoenix, and there were many casualties. A-Lian just wanted to ask a question, my lord Why are you so concerned about the situation in Yuxi City?"
The woman in red leaned on the back of the chair, slowly stretched out a hand, and gently stroked between her eyebrows, her tone was a little more soothing:
"It's nothing to say. It's just that I was a little curious when I heard that the boy won this year's Oiran of Yunhai. According to the rules, I, last year's oiran, cannot participate in the election this year, so I simply did not participate in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce this time. Unexpectedly Missed a good show...”
The woman in red changed the subject and said:
"I don't hesitate to throw the reputation that others value into the ditch, and I want to take that little-known Heyue away. Don't you think such a person is terrible? Go down and do things quickly."
She propped her cheek and said calmly.
A-Lian exited the room, feeling her back was soaked in cold sweat. When the autumn wind blows, I can't help but shiver.
