Chapter 1796 The Palace Banquet

At this time, Li Jinyun in the carriage came out and shouted softly: "Father."

Then her eyes turned to her husband Zhou Yanzhao who had only met her. She used to hear her father say that Zhou Yanzhao was weak and incompetent, but when she saw him today, although he was not the great hero he was looking forward to, he still had an indescribable hero in his armor.

When Li Mu looked at his daughter, there was a little more kindness in his eyes, but it became stern again in a flash, "Jinyun, why are you going to Jingji for if you don't take him at home?"

This is not a fault for Li Mu to be angry. This is a place where the two armies fight. If they hadn't met He Sheng and Su Qingzhu, she would have fallen into the hands of the second prince, and then her daughter would probably have been dead forever.

"I, I..." Li Jinyun stammered and couldn't speak.

It was Zhou Yanzhao who asked to help her rescue, "General Li, Jin Yun has come to Jingjin safely now. Don't blame her anymore. Let's go to the city as soon as possible!"

"Hmph, I'll deal with you when I go back."

Li Mu snorted coldly, walked to his daughter and drove into the city himself.

Su Qingzhu, He Sheng, and Zhou Ling'er and Zhou Yanzhao, talked about it. Seeing that Zhou Ling'er was rarely like a quiet cat, Su Qingzhu joked: "Ling'er, why don't you accompany me when you meet your senior sister? If I hadn't helped you send a message, someone would still be in seclusion on the mountain?"

Zhou Ling'er's pretty face turned red and she held Su Qingzhu's arm, "Okay! Senior sister, I'll hold a good banquet tonight to entertain you."

After saying that, she glanced at He Sheng again. She couldn't see enough. She once thought she would never see He Sheng again. Since the last Taoist court competition, Mingyue Palace has been blocked. She has been there for dozens of times, but she was stopped by those annoying maids.

He Sheng felt a little uncomfortable when Zhou Ling'er saw him, so he took the initiative to talk to Zhou Yanzhao to divert his attention. Yanzhao, what is the situation in Jingjin now?

Can you keep it?"

When talking about the war, the smile on Zhou Yanzhao's face slowly solidified, "It's hard! The second brother was very prepared this time. The troops who served the king everywhere in Zhou State were all still holding their troops a hundred miles away from the capital. They should have received the promise of the second brother's title, just waiting for his father to die of illness and then they would support the second brother as the emperor."

"Your second brother is so popular with the people?"

He Sheng asked.

"The second brother is indeed much better than the prince. Moreover, the second brother has always led troops all year round and has a much closer relationship with the generals of the border town than the prince. Moreover, supporting the new king is a great contribution! And they can't get anything from the prince ascended the throne, it's all because of the benefits!"

He Sheng did not expect that Zhou Yanzhao would tell him everything. Although he had never experienced such a battle for the throne, he had seen some big families fighting for power and profit in the secular world. These should be the biggest secrets of the Zhou State!

"Yan Zhao, no matter whether your second brother ascends the throne or the prince ascends the throne, aren't you doing anything?

Why do you still have to participate?”

This is what He Sheng couldn't understand. Zhou Ling'er and Zhou Yanzhao are both disciples of Jiuling Taoist Academy. No matter which brother is the emperor, he would not dare to come to Jiuling Taoist Academy to settle them!

"Brother He, you don't understand. Ling'er and I not only represent us personally, but also the family behind us. If the prince succeeds to the throne, everything will follow the previous trajectory. But if the second brother succeeds to the throne, then he will eradicate all the forces that hinder him. Although Ling'er and I have no worries about our lives, the mother tribe behind us will encounter great disaster."

Zhou Yanzhao explained patiently.

So that's the case, it would be a bit difficult. If this continues, it will be difficult to defend the capital. As long as the second prince has received the support of most border town generals, even if he cannot break through the capital, he will be able to do it for a year or two. In that case, he will not be able to break the capital.

Moreover, judging from Yan Zhao and Zhou Linger's attitude, I'm afraid I'll fight with Jingji until the last moment, which is even more difficult!

In addition, Jiufang Mingyue only gave him seven days. These seven days are probably far from enough to solve the problem of Zhou State! Annoyed!

No matter how difficult the matter is to solve it, He Sheng decided to give it a try. At worst, he could knock the two of them out and take them away.

After entering Jingji, although it had been besieged outside, Jingji was the largest city in Zhou Kingdom, which had sufficient food and supplies. In addition to some people who fled, a large number of people still lived as usual. He Sheng saw the life of the mortal world at close range in the city. These people were very similar to the lives of ordinary humans on earth. Although there were wars outside, various shops and restaurants could still be seen on the streets. Zhou Yanzhao accompanied He Sheng for a walk, and was called back by the prince to discuss the matters in the army.

At night, He Sheng and Su Qingzhu were also invited to the palace for food by the people from the palace. At this time, the prince was in charge of the capital of Zhou State, and it is said that the old emperor had only breathe.

It seemed that there was no war in the palace, and it was still singing and dancing. When He Sheng and Su Qingzhu came to the palace to entertain the palace, they were surrounded by some civil servants. Most of them came up to ask about some fairy pills or secret recipes for immortality, and there was no anxiety about the war on their faces.

Maybe it's the same for them who is emperor, they just changed their bosses. Su Qingzhu's cold personality is naturally unwilling to pay attention to these people, and He Sheng just occasionally spoke. After all, a group of people flattered and said all the praises in front of you, and you would feel a little sorry if you didn't say mercy.

About half an hour later, He Sheng saw Zhou Ling'er wearing palace clothes coming. The ministers were surprised that since the war started, she had never seen Princess Ling'er take off her military uniform. Why did she put on her palace clothes today?

Zhou Ling'er walked straight towards He Sheng and Su Qingzhu, and did not respond to the civil servants' worship. He Sheng saw that Zhou Ling'er seemed a little unhappy, so he sent a message: "Ling'er, what's wrong?"

Zhou Ling'er glanced at He Sheng and replied in a voice transmission: "I'm going to ask for my father, but my elder brother's people don't let me in."

With just one sentence, He Sheng guessed the seriousness of the problem. I am afraid that the old emperor is really dying! Is the prince preparing to secretly stop the funeral, or is it?

He Sheng had no choice but to comfort him: "Ling'er, don't be too sad, people will always have a day."

Zhou Ling'er nodded.

At this time, the prince in bright yellow robe surrounded by a group of purple officials and arrived at the banquet palace. Zhou Yanzhao was also following the prince. The prince's appearance was not at all similar to Zhou Yanzhao. Zhou Yanzhao was fat and the prince was thin as a bamboo pole. Although He Sheng could also see that the prince had practiced certain magical skills, his body had been emptied by wine and sex.

"Please sit down for all my dear friends! Ninth brother, sit next to me, and someone will add a stool for the Ninth Prince."
