Hu Haoren had already laughed before he came over and said: "So Brother Kong Ming wants to hold a birthday party at home? I wonder if I will have the honor to participate? If Brother Kong Ming really wants to say 'no' , then I will come uninvited!"
Before he finished speaking, Hu Hao laughed even louder, making people think that his "uninvited" words were just a joke.
However, Kong Ming knew that Hu Hao could really do uninvited things. For example, at this reception banquet, didn’t the third prince just come uninvited
However, long before Kong Ming sent the invitation, he had already prepared how to deal with Hu Hao. Otherwise, if Kong Qingyi left the meeting early, didn't he do nothing
Facing Hu Hao who was laughing loudly, Kong Ming's expression did not change. Instead, he handed over an invitation with a smile and said politely: "If we can invite the third prince to attend my birthday party, of course it will be It's my honor. In addition, there is one more thing I want to trouble the third prince, that is, I have two invitations here. Please pass them on to the eldest prince and the second prince. If the three princes can attend the younger brother's birthday banquet, , that would be a great honor for me!"
Kong Ming's invitation to the three princes at once showed his unwavering stance. The three princes wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Kong Ming, but naturally they failed.
If the children of the Hu royal family were still as low-key as before, they would not be invited to Kong Ming's birthday party. However, with the frequent movements of several princes, it is really difficult to avoid them when holding some public activities. Therefore, Kong Ming directly stated that he would invite the three princes together, so naturally there was no need to express his "side"!
Kong Ming's actions also reminded some young masters from aristocratic families that if their families want to be neutral, they must learn from Kong Ming's approach when facing several princes, and treat the three princes equally and without hesitation!
Looking at the invitation handed over by Kong Ming, Hu Hao smiled even more heartily and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay! Brother Kong Ming's birthday banquet must be the top priority in the imperial capital in the near future. By then, I will definitely and The two royal brothers are here together to strengthen Brother Kong Ming’s reputation!”
I have to say that the third prince Hu Hao is really a character. After receiving Kong Ming's invitation, he immediately stated that he would bring the two royal brothers to the banquet, acting as if he could also make decisions about the behavior of the other two princes. But in fact, with the power of the Kong family and Kong Ming's current reputation, as long as he sends out the invitation, even if he is the prince, is there any reason not to come
Unless these princes continue to keep a low profile as before, but once they have set a precedent for joining the world, it will not be so easy to return to a low profile.
Kong Ming didn't care about Hu Hao's little tricks to show his presence, but said politely: "At that time, I will be at the Kong family manor, waiting for the arrival of the three princes!"
Hu Hao laughed loudly and said: "Easy to say, easy to say!" Then he waved to Kong Ming and walked straight away with Duan Xingchao and his eight golden armored guards.
As soon as Hu Hao left, all the children of the aristocratic families naturally left one after another. Finally, Kong Ming also thanked Ji Honggao for hosting the reception banquet, saying that it would be him who would repay the landlord's friendship in a month's time.
When Kong Ming returned, Kong Qingming did not accompany him. He said he had other things to do and left in a hurry. It seems that the bad blood between him and Kong Ming will not disappear so easily just because they share the same surname.
Seeing Kong Qingming leaving in a hurry, Kong Ming could only shake his head and boarded his carriage. Kong Qingyi, Mo Yue and others have been waiting in the carriage for a long time. When Kong Qingyi saw Kong Ming coming back, he smiled at him and said: "I didn't expect that the Hu family has always been low-key. Now that they are high-profile, this third prince is so domineering!"
Kong Ming smiled "hehe" and said: "No matter how much trouble the princes make, our Kong family can stay out of it and not get involved. Do they really have the ability to drag us into troubled waters? They are just three princes. No matter how much fuss you make, it won’t create big waves, but the current Emperor is really a bit unpredictable.”
According to common sense, for a huge empire, the sooner a successor is established, the better. However, today's Emperor Hood has an ambiguous attitude towards the three princes, as if he is encouraging them to fight over who has the ability. Whoever can inherit the throne is the same.
Could it be said that Emperor Hu De is not afraid of causing trouble to Xiao Qiang
Kong Ming had never met Emperor Hood before, and he didn't know what the emperor's character was, so he had questions. However, Kong Qingyi smiled slightly and said: "My mentor, his old man, once commented on the emperor of the current dynasty, calling him a great hero! It can be seen that this emperor is definitely an extraordinary person!"
Kong Ming nodded thoughtfully and said: "Whether His Majesty the Emperor is a hero or not, for our Kong family, it is better to maintain the current situation!"
Kong Qingyi also nodded and said with a smile: "That's right!"
As the wheels of the carriage sounded, the carriages Kong Ming and Kong Qingyi were riding in suddenly sped away...

After seeing off all the guests attending the reception banquet, Ji Honggao returned to the Star Reaching Tower. But just a moment later, he put on a set of black clothes and covered his face with a black scarf. Under the cover of the night, like a big black bird, he crossed the backyard wall of the Star Building and disappeared directly. In the darkness.
In the dark streets and alleys, Ji Honggao seemed to be very familiar with the path. He was seen swaying and jumping over the houses one after another. He soon passed through almost half of the river area and came to a gathering of private houses. in the alley.
The houses in this alley are all of the type belonging to wealthy families. Although they are not as good as the mansions of dignitaries in Antai District, they are not affordable for ordinary people. However, since Chuanliu District has developed commerce, it is normal for there to be some wealthy businessmen, and the alley in front of them is where the wealthy people of Chuanliu District live.
Ordinarily wealthy families would hire some housekeepers, but with Ji Honggao's cultivation as a junior general, how could he take these ordinary housekeepers seriously? After quietly crossing more than ten courtyards, he finally landed in an inconspicuous courtyard.
As soon as Ji Honggao landed, two auras immediately locked him tightly. Judging from the pressure of the two auras, he at least had the cultivation level of a high-level Yuan general. After being locked by these two auras, Ji Honggao had no chance to escape.
However, Ji Honggao did not panic at all, but flipped his wrist and showed something like a token. As Ji Hong highlighted this object, the aura hidden in the darkness suddenly disappeared, and there was no more sound.
Ji Honggao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He entered the living room of the courtyard in a flash and knocked on a painting on the front wall of the living room. A secret door immediately opened. He did not hesitate. Shrunk down.
After the secret door, there is a sloping stone staircase, which extends downward for more than ten meters, and then there is a secret room about tens of square meters in size. The furnishings in the dark room are very simple, with only a large round table and a dozen Taishi chairs placed around the round table.
The lighting facilities in the darkroom are a few luminous pearls embedded on the four walls. The light is not too bright, making the environment in the darkroom relatively dark. At this time, there were two men in black clothes dressed similarly to Ji Honggao, sitting in front of the round table, seemingly waiting for Ji Honggao.
These two men in black were not only covered with black scarves, but they were also sitting on chairs, and even their figures were not revealed. As soon as Ji Honggao came in, he heard one of the men in black ask: "What's going on at today's banquet?"
The voice was extremely hoarse and sharp, like scraping a piece of porcelain on metal. It had obviously been changed to the point where it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Ji Honggao did not answer immediately, but walked to the round table, pulled out a chair and sat down, and then briefly recounted what happened at today's banquet. He mainly explained which aristocratic families were present and their attitude towards Kong Ming. . The focus of the story is naturally what the third prince Hu Hao did after he arrived.
The two men in black just sat and listened silently. They didn't say a word until Ji Honggao finished speaking. However, after Ji Honggao said that he had finished his report, the man in black who had spoken before asked again: "How is your relationship with the Cao family?"
After hearing such a question, Ji Honggao was stunned, but he quickly replied coldly: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will report it to your Majesty!"
Next, Ji Honggao and the two men in black sat in silence in the dark room, as if the other party did not exist! …
Just when Ji Honggao met these two mysterious men in black, on another very wide avenue in Sichuan District, a luxury carriage with a bright yellow flag was escorted by a group of golden armored warriors. Walk slowly.
In the carriage, the third prince Hu Hao was leaning on a soft couch in a very relaxed posture. Next to his servant, sitting upright was naturally Duan Xingchao, but the two people sitting opposite Hu Hao were really It’s a bit surprising!
Because no one would have thought that Cao Podi, one of the "Two Heroes of the Cao Family", would actually have such a close relationship with the third prince Hu Hao, and be able to ride in the same car. As for Cao Podi's side, the little man who pretends to be a woman and is dressed as a man is none other than the Cao family's recently famous female think tank - Cao Jun'e!
