The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

The answer to the clear voice was a long silence.

"Brother? Brother? Stop imagining and answer my question!"

This time there was an answer, but it was...

"All troops stop and rest on the spot!"

As the voice fell, all the elite cavalry immediately dismounted and guarded the surroundings. Soon, the servants quickly set up tents and other things, and soon it became a large camp.

At the same time, the voice sounded again, but with a hint of strange meaning...

"Mei'er, you see the wind and sand are so strong, you and I might as well wait here for a while, and then enter Tianjue City after the dust settles, how about it?"

"Brother, what do you mean by this?" After this, the crisp child's voice sounded again, and a little beauty in palace dress about fourteen years old got off the carriage, ignoring the maid's obstruction, walked straight forward, and snorted in front of her, "Isn't it good to rush to Tianjue City in one breath? It's dirty here, I don't like it!"

But she saw a young man walking in front of her at some point. Although he was dressed in the clothes of a prince, his face did not have much rebelliousness. His starry eyes looked at the little beauty, full of love.

This person was the seventh prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Xianyuan, and the little beauty was the rumored Zhou Emperor's most beloved youngest daughter, Lu Mei'er.

Seeing that the two were about to talk, the people around them retreated, leaving only a few people to protect them in the dark.

"Mei'er, it's a rare opportunity to come to the Ancient Road of Desolate Clouds. This place has a unique scenery. Why rush to travel?" Lu Xianyuan turned around and looked at the yellow sand in the sky, and said lightly.

"Hmph! My dear brother, you are not telling the truth again!" Lu Meir's petite nose curled up and snorted, "Don't think I don't know that you deliberately slowed down the speed of the convoy along the way, and always found excuses to sleep outdoors. It's not even dark yet and you want to rest... and you use the excuses of 'strong wind and sand' and 'beautiful scenery'... Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Lu Xianyuan smiled and said, "Little Meir is really a sharp eye, you saw through it all."

"Hmph! Of course!" Lu Meir looked proud, "But my dear brother, what are you thinking? Didn't the emperor send us to host the Tianjue City Autumn Night Banquet? If we delay like this, if we delay the emperor's business, I wonder how you will report it!"

"Hey..." Lu Xianyuan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he sighed, "Mei'er, you Do you think my brother doesn't want to go to Tianjue City earlier? To tell you the truth, this Autumn Night Banquet is not as simple as it seems! "

"Think about it carefully. The Autumn Night Banquet is important, but is it necessary to send two royal children like you and me to Tianjue City at the same time? This has never happened in previous years. Have you ever thought about why? Think about what kind of person your father is? Thunder and rain all have deep meanings. The water of this Autumn Night Banquet is deep..."

Hearing this, Lu Meir was not scared, but showed a curious look. She pulled Lu Xianyuan's hand and begged, "What's going on? Tell me quickly, my good brother~"

When Lu Xianyuan heard this coquettish voice, he could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. He trembled all over and pressed his eyebrows with helplessness.

He aspires to be the crown prince, and has always been diligent in governing the country. He is very scheming. His only weakness is his sister, who is his own mother. When he meets Lu Meir, all his scheming disappears in an instant. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happens, Lu Meir only needs to act coquettishly a few times, and Lu Xianyuan will have no choice but to obey her.

He tried to hold it back, but still couldn't stop it. He could only sigh and signal the attendants around him to step back with his eyes, and then said, "Okay, okay... my brother will tell you."

"I knew my brother was the best!"

"Don't give me that!" Lu Xianyuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Now Kyoto has become a big swamp because of the 'Imperial Garden' incident. Father sent both of us out at the same time. It's a serious matter for me, but it's love for you. I just got away from that big whirlpool because of you. This is the first reason. The second reason is that you know it yourself, the royal bloodline training..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Meir interrupted him and said, "Brother, what about the third reason?"

"...The third reason...probably, it's checks and balances."

"Checks and balances?"

"Well...in the current situation in Kyoto, Marquis Qin and many divine marquis families have attacked Marquis Ziyi. Prime Minister Mo's attitude is weird, and he may have joined forces with Marquis Qin! Prime Minister Wu's attitude is unclear, but he doesn't support Marquis Ziyi either...so in order to achieve checks and balances, my father will be particularly favoring Tian this year. Juecheng to support Ziyi Hou... After all, no matter who mentions Tianjuecheng, the first person they think of is Ziyi Hou. "

"Since this is what father meant, shouldn't we hurry to Tianjuecheng?"

"That's the trouble." Lu Xianyuan's face became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know that we have just set out, and someone has already done it in secret? I didn't know about this until I was halfway there... An old man under my command had already been bribed... No, it should be from the beginning that this person was the other party's man. You also know the conditions required to participate in the Autumn Night Banquet, right? That person seized this point and actually let the Tianjue Chu family's quota be replaced by the Kyoto Chu family. "

"Ah?" After these words came out, Lu Meir was shocked, "Then... Then if we go to Tianjuecheng again, won't we be asking for trouble? Ziyi Hou is such a protective person, and after this move, I'm afraid he will regard us as his mortal enemy... Moreover, this is also contrary to father's intentions... Who is that person? Does he want to put us on the fire? "

"Yeah..." Lu Xianyuan sighed slowly, "I'm deliberately slowing down my schedule these days, just hoping to think of a way before arriving at Tianjue City... The people behind the scenes have big plans, and I'm afraid it's not just Tianjue City. He also wants to drag us into the quagmire. If we really follow his wishes, there will probably be only one fate for the two of us..."

"Brother Imperial, then, have you thought of a way?"

Lu Xianyuan's expression calmed down when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "There is only one plan for now, and that is to make a decision when it's time to make a decision. Otherwise, the reputation of being indecisive will spread to the ears of the father, and it will not be a good thing."

Lu Mei'er is also very smart. When she heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Brother Huang means... we might as well make a decision immediately and directly take advantage of the winning side?"

"That's right! Since we have lost the first move, if we continue to hesitate, we may offend both families. In this case, it is better to completely offend one family and form an alliance with the other..."

"But... the Tianjue Chu family has been tricked like this once, can they come back?"

"...Then it depends on whether anyone in the Chu family of Tianjue has a clear mind..."

Lu Xianyuan sighed softly and said: "To be honest... In fact, the emperor also feels that it is impossible to have good relations with the Chu family of Tianjue. There is a master plan behind the Marquis of Qin - I suspect it is Mo Xiang! He took a step Step by step, the power of the Ziyihou Mansion was transferred out, leaving it full of flaws. I think... the Tianjue Chu family should not have any good fruits left at this moment, and that Mrs. Yipin Gaoming...she is sensible, but she loves her only son too much! And her only son is...so ridiculous." Lu Xianyuan shook his head and sighed, "I racked my brains along the way and found that no matter how I release my kindness, , Chu Tianxiao, that prodigal son, always has a hurdle that he can't get around... And for this prodigal son, I can't guess the trajectory at all..."

"In desperation, I can only make the safest choice, wait here for the dust to settle, and then go to Tianjue City... Although I won't gain the most, I won't lose too much, and there is always room for recovery."

Lu Xianyuan said slowly: "As for the 'checks and balances' issue, I will report it to my father and figure it out slowly..."

When Lu Meier heard this, she pouted: "But I don't like the Qin family at all! I don't like Xiang Mo either! I don't want to form an alliance with them!"

Lu Xianyuan said: "Brother, how can I be the same? However, Qin Yun of the Qin family is still pretty good. If he can recover, he will be considered a genius of my generation..."

"Hmph! What Qin Yun! When we get to Tianjue City, I must see it!"

Lu Mei'er pouted and said, Lu Xianyuan was about to reply when suddenly an elite came forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, there is news from Tianjue City..."

"Huh?" Lu Xianyuan and Lu Mei'er looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes, "Can the winner be decided so soon?"

Lu Xianyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, took the jade slip from his subordinate, and slowly read out the message with the help of a royal treasure...

Then, his pupils shrank quickly, and his face showed a look of shock at first, and then gradually turned to wonder and appreciation, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth...

"interesting……"

"This loser really knows how to play!"

"This is to create a domineering name!"

"Wait... wasn't this also thrown at me?"

Lu Xianyuan's eyes narrowed, and he ordered his subordinates: "Give me the order, set off the camp, and be stationed in Tianjue City before tonight!"

"yes!"

"Also...the Sound Transmission Wasteland Guild, tell them that they can give that gift!"

And just when Lu Xianyuan made the final decision and finalized his attitude, the grand "Prodigal Party" in Tianjue City finally came to an end...

The entire Tianjue City is crazy!
