Chapter 928 Banquet in the Great Hall
While Lei Xiao was carrying out everything in full swing, preparing for the next final battle for the throne.

At the far other end, the intoxicated revelry and contemptuous sneers echoed wantonly in the magnificent hall of the palace.

At the top of the hall, next to the golden throne, there is already an extremely luxurious golden bed, and the golden bed curtain engraved with the lion emblem of the Lengyan royal family is hung high, and the fourth prince is lazily Lie down on it.

Around the fourth prince, more than a dozen beautiful maids with exquisite makeup were standing there respectfully and waiting for him. Some were rubbing the shoulders and legs of this distinguished royal family member, while others were serving pastries and drinks.

These slender young maids are not dressed in black and white maid outfits, but are all dressed in snow-white silk dresses, making their slender and slender bodies faintly visible under the dazzling fringed chandeliers.

Under the illumination of the light, not only did it reflect a graceful figure, but also there were shocking new wounds and old scars on the skin that was as radiant as snow.

Coupled with the fearful appearance of the young maids walking on thin ice, it is not difficult to see from this.

This young and energetic fourth prince not only showed no mercy to the eldest prince and the second prince, but was also obviously very violent in every aspect.

And in the lower position of the fourth prince, apart from the three wealthy grand dukes Hanshui, Stone and Kent, there are more than a dozen high-ranking nobles who are eating and drinking with their mouths full of oil, looking very happy.

"Your Highness, I received news not long ago that some minor changes have occurred in the main city of the family."

In the luxurious hall, Han Shui gracefully put down the goblet in his hand, still calm and calm, slightly stroked his chest and said, "I need to return to Lion Heart City for a while tomorrow morning."

"Oh?"

The fourth prince waved his arm, and violently pushed a maid who blocked his sight to the ground, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "The war is imminent, and the soldiers of the Shanglu family have arrived at Fort Kell one after another. Back home at this time?"

"To tell you the truth, Your Highness, just like what I said just now, there was a small change in Lion Heart City, and a few bugs got in."

Han Shui gave a cold snort of contempt, and responded: "But please rest assured, Your Highness, I will settle these trivial matters soon."

"Grand Duke Hanshui, now is an extraordinary time, and everything should be cautious."

The wrinkled Stone was pulling a young maid with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She raised her eyebrows as she wandered around with her big unscrupulous hands.

"Earlier today, I heard that something went wrong in Lionheart City. The castle where the four Shanglu elders who have been at odds with you exploded for no reason, which caused quite a commotion."

Stone's old hands showed blue veins, and he held the helpless young maid tightly, and continued to speak leisurely: "It's not because your subordinates were careless when cleaning the house, which caused backlash, right?"

"These are all family affairs of our Shanglu clan, so don't bother with Duke Stone."

There was no disturbance on Han Shui's indifferent face, and he said indifferently: "Furthermore, it's just dealing with a few rebels who tried to overthrow the family. I don't need to do this little thing myself."

After finishing speaking, Han Shui's playful eyes moved, and began to wander around the maids who were waiting in the hall. His eyes revealed disdain in their scrutiny, as if they were picking out a one-time toy.

The slender and slender bodies of the maids who were stared at by Han Shui couldn't help but tremble for a while, obviously also very afraid of this unsmiling Grand Duke.

At this moment, the Duke of Kent, who had been eating meat, put down the knife and fork in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said: "So, the family affairs of the Duke of Hanshui have been handled smoothly?"

"However, I heard that a group of guards from the Shanglu family was attacked by some unknown strong men who called themselves mercenaries when they clashed with the Yucheng patrol army. The whereabouts of the assailants are still unknown."

After finishing speaking, the Grand Duke of Kent drank the remaining wine in the glass, looked condescendingly, and immediately looked at a maid who was waiting beside him.

Under the murderous eyes of the Duke of Kent, the young maid's legs gave way, and she quickly fell to her knees, carefully pouring wine and changing the plate for the former.

The former is obviously quite satisfied, and while jokingly examining the latter from the best angle, he continued to say to Hanshui: "It is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to shoot unscrupulously in your main city. I hope that Duke Hanshui will not be too Take the enemy lightly."

"Mr. Kent's concern is not unreasonable."

The fourth prince slowly sat up from the big bed, took the wine glass respectfully handed over by the maid, frowned and said: "At present, it is at the critical moment to wipe out that despicable alien, and he is full of tricks, even if it is We have an advantage, but we must not be careless, otherwise we may end up like those two trash before."

"What Your Highness said is very true."

Han Shui temporarily stopped his scrutiny, and refocused his attention on the fourth prince. He slightly nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, this subject has his own measure."

"Grand Duke Hanshui, don't blame the old man for being wordy, now the three giants like us are the life and death robes on the same front."

Stone withdrew his big hand, tightened his gray eyebrows and said, "Just now, the Duke of Kent's analysis was reasonable, and the old man even suspected that it might be the despicable outsiders behind the scenes!"

"I think so too."

Kent took the pale-faced maid into his arms, and echoed: "I have heard that the presidents of Kongqing Town and Fanyin City of the Shanglu clan seem to be very close to that despicable outsider. Without their help, that despicable outsider may turn the Shanglu family upside down, and it will definitely affect the morale of the frontline soldiers."

"Hehe, if it's really that despicable outsider who is playing tricks, this old man thinks it's not just that."

Stone lightly stroked his gray beard, and said with a sinister smile: "Including the white knight, there are already four fifth-tier powerhouses in the opponent's camp, not counting the mysterious dragon knight who came and went without a trace." .”

"Although the combination of our hole cards and means is by no means inferior to these town-level powerhouses, if the opponent gathers top-level combat power in one place, the situation can be imagined."

"As far as I know, although there are absolute defensive barriers inside and outside Lion Heart City, which is enough to make a fifth-order powerhouse return home, but under the current situation where the main force is exhausted, it is easy for the opponent to turn upside down in Shixin City .”

Stone's voice became deeper and deeper, and then said solemnly: "For example, lure someone back to his hometown, then control him, and even kill him, so as to weaken our strength."

"Mr. Stone, are you saying that that despicable outsider will attack Duke Hanshui?"

The fourth prince reacted immediately, his eyes widened and he said nervously: "That despicable and cunning alien can indeed do such a thing, I have to guard against it."

Hearing the discussion of several people, Han Shui still had the same calm poker face, and said dismissively: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I went back is because according to the report from Lionheart City, I caught my servant Shang Lu. Gail, the president of Fanyin City, and Lin, the president of Kongqing Town."

"These two insignificant collateral scumbags have already known about the deeds of getting too close to that despicable outsider, and they have secretly ordered that once the two appear in Lionheart City, they will be arrested immediately."

"Although I closed down all the trade fairs in the area controlled by despicable outsiders, and recalled the presidents from all over the place, the speed of these two scumbags returning to Lion Heart City is too fast, which is obviously extremely unusual."

On Han Shui's indifferent face, a touch of contempt appeared, and he said lightly: "Coupling with the fact that the guards in the city were attacked by an unknown strongman, the situation is self-evident. Behind this must be that despicable outsider make trouble out of it."

Speaking of this point, the contempt on Han Shui's face became even worse, and he snorted coldly: "In other words, the other party has taken such painstaking efforts to lure the ministers back."

"It turns out that Han Shuiqing already knew everything."

The tense expression on the face of the fourth prince faded away, and he nodded suddenly and said: "Then, let Sir Stone and Sir Kent lead the strong men of their respective families and return to Lionheart City with Sir Hanshui, so that nothing will go wrong. , and even eradicate that despicable outsider in advance.”

"That's right, it's still easy for the three giants to assemble 50 fourth-tier powerhouses. Even if the opponent's fifth-tier powerhouses are all dispatched, we can deal with it with ease."

Stone first glanced at Han Shui jokingly, and then said leisurely: "Although there are no fifth-tier powerhouses among the three giants such as us, there are not a few fifth-tier powerhouses that have emerged in the past six hundred years. Yes, there are endless cards to deal with fifth-order powerhouses."

After Si talked, Kent also nodded, raised his eyebrows and agreed: "In this way, Duke Hanshui's life can be saved."

"No need, Lancaster and Yorkman don't need to take action on such a trivial matter. My Shanglu family is enough."

Looking at the playful faces of Stone and Kent, Han Shui waved his hands indifferently.

I saw Han Shui saluted the fourth prince caressing his chest, and said, "Your Highness, if you work too hard to mobilize the crowd, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of those despicable outsiders, and it will not be conducive to your subordinates to plan and completely wipe out those despicable outsiders. "

After finishing speaking, Han Shui cast a glance at Stone and Kent, obviously not appreciating the "good intentions" of the two.

Han Shui clearly understood in his heart that the three giants were still fighting openly and secretly not long ago, and no one would accept the other.

Under such circumstances, if he accepts the help of the other party and makes a large number of elite powerhouses from the other two giants flood into Lionheart City, it is tantamount to admitting that the Shanglu family is not as good as the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family. The admiral has since fallen into a disadvantage.

What's more, the opening of the main city to allow the strong opponents to enter has never happened in history, and it will undoubtedly lead to a series of unpredictable consequences.

After all, if the other party takes the opportunity to spy on information, or make some small moves, it must be a certainty.

Therefore, even if the despicable outsider is wiped out, the Shanglu family will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the subsequent struggle, which is something that I cannot tolerate.

"Han Shuiqing, so you have a way to deal with that despicable alien?"

Hearing Han Shui's confident words, the fourth prince's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"That's right, Your Highness, just as Grand Duke Stone said, our Shanglu family has lasted for more than six hundred years, and our financial resources are the highest in the Lengyan Kingdom. I can't help but my subordinates."

Han Shui raised his glass gracefully, took a sip of the red wine in the goblet, and said calmly: "Although it is difficult for a subject to eliminate all the top opponents at once, it is still easy to imprison and defeat them one by one."

"As expected of Han Shuiqing, what a reassuring answer."

The fourth prince quickly understood the considerations in Han Shui's mind, and did not say anything else, but nodded in satisfaction and said: "Then everything will be according to Han Shuiqing, but just in case, I will lend Han Shui another Qing has a strong hole card, which is enough to help Han Shuiqing deal with that despicable outsider more easily."

"Then the subject will be disrespectful. Since the despicable outsider is going to attack the subject, the subject will definitely send this lifeless scum to the grave with his own hands."

Hearing the fourth prince's words, Han Shui did not refuse this time, but readily agreed.

Afterwards, although Stone and Kent both spoke admonitions and ridiculed Hanshui many times while they were enjoying themselves, they were all taken lightly by the latter.

In the end, the two grand dukes who were making fun of themselves didn't say anything else, and once again focused their attention on the trembling young maids around them.

In the resplendent and resplendent hall, the extravagant banquet was still going on, and obscene laughter and contemptuous words soon permeated again, reverberating wantonly in the huge space.

……

The next morning, the sky was still hazy, and Lei Xiao and Ariel opened their eyes almost at the same time.

Today is a crucial day to go to Lionheart City and pull down the cold water from the throne of Patriarch. Naturally, the two of them have no idea of ​​lazy bed, after all, this will directly affect the life and death of the territory.

"My lord, do you think everything will go well? Lionheart City is the core territory that Hanshui painstakingly manages."

After getting dressed, Ariel frowned at Lei Xiao with a little anxiety and said: "The cold water is covering the sky with one hand in the Shanglu family. It is by no means comparable to the arrogant and arrogant fallen nobles, and the fourth child is also smarter than the eldest and second child." It is much more stable, and it will never sit idly by."

"I understand, I'm afraid the other party has already seen through our plan to lure Han Shui back to Lionheart City."

Lei Xiao touched Ariel's head casually, and said with a faint smile: "But the core of our plan this time is to plan, everything is still within our expectations."

Having said this, Lei Xiao's face became solemn, and he continued: "As for the only variable, it is the hole card that Han Shui can show."

"That's true. This subordinate remembers that Han Shui kept a low profile when he was in the palace, and even his subordinate's father couldn't fully understand his details."

Ariel nodded thoughtfully, and the uneasiness on her fair face became more and more obvious: "Although we are fighting against the cold water on the surface, we are actually fighting against the background of the Shanglu family that has lasted for more than six hundred years. After all, as The head of the family, Hanshui, controls most of the cards and resources of the Shanglu family."

"Don't worry, we have all gone through so many storms together, which one is not a narrow escape."

Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, nodded and said: "As long as you are by my side, I will be invincible."

After speaking, Lei Xiao patted Ariel's head again, signaling her to relax, and went to wash up first.

Ariel, on the other hand, looked at Lei Xiao's tall and straight back, and murmured, "For my subordinates, as long as the lord is by their side, they will feel at ease."
