East Palace.

Liu Changyi stood in front of the Crown Prince Huang Furui, wearing armor all over and with cold eyes.

"To be honest, I don't like the look in your eyes very much!"

Huangfurui was lying on the tiger-skin armchair, squinting at Liu Changyi, and said lazily.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Liu Changyi bent down slightly, but his eyes did not converge at all, like the twelfth month of winter.

Jin Wang Huangfu Bang noticed the unhappiness between the two, and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "My dear, the prince has called you here this time because there is something you need to do."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Liu Changyi asked.

Between the words, there was no wave of emotion in him.

Seeing that he did not refuse, Huangfu Bang told him exactly what happened in the Jinluan Hall.

"Okay, I agree!"

To the surprise of the prince and Huangfu Bang, Liu Changyi agreed very readily.

"Wait a minute!"

Huangfurui suddenly said: "You promised Uncle Wei Yuan that you were as happy as today, but in the end you failed!"

His eyes were slightly narrowed, with an indescribable light in his eyes, as if he was examining the prisoner.

"His Royal Highness, Tong Yuan's strength is similar to mine, so it's normal that I can't defeat him." Liu Changyi replied.

His tone was as cold as his eyes.

"You!" Huangfurui was furious.

How dare a mere viscount disrespect me like this? It's really hateful!

"good!"

Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Huangfu Bang immediately said: "Nothing's going on, please step back and remember to leave on time!"

"yes."

Liu Changyi bowed slightly and left immediately without looking back.

boom!

Huangfurui picked up a teacup and threw it directly against the door frame, causing the teacup to shatter.

"This is totally unreasonable! Who does he think he is?" Huangfurui yelled.

"Your Highness, calm down your anger!" King Jin persuaded him kindly.

"Calm down?" Huangfurui was silent for a while, then burst into laughter.

Huangfu Bang lowered his head at the side. He could hear the deep bitterness and resentment in the prince's laughter.

So why not himself?

After a long time, a soft chant sounded: "It's getting late, Uncle Wang, please go back and rest early."

"As you command!"

After Huangfu Bang retreated, the door to the East Palace slowly closed.

Looking from top to bottom, in the entire imperial city and even the imperial capital, only the vicinity of the East Palace is deserted.

It is like a large, closed iron cage with a beast inside.

Changning Tower.

Upon hearing the news that Dongfang Yuanwu was about to leave, Huangfu Zhang proposed to set up a table to see him off, and everyone readily agreed.

"Hey, we are all from the north, why didn't the prime minister choose me?" Gao Bingxu asked doubtfully.

He touched his big head with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Meng laughed and said: "With your body and those two sledgehammers, how can you do a good job as a scout with such a big target?"

"Hehe, yes!"

Huangfu Zhang raised his glass and said: "Come, let's have a drink and wish Brother Dongfang a success in this trip!"

"Come on, come on, do it!" Everyone stood up.

Even Zhou Hao, who had always been reticent to talk, smiled.

"Thank you everyone!"

Although the relationship between some people was not very harmonious before, after the palace examination competition and after such a long period of mingling with the officialdom, the past feud has long been resolved.

After all, as martial arts scholars who participated in the competition at the same time, they were a deep political resource in Da Li.

"I heard that your brother is serving as a chief minister under Ouyang Xi?" Huangfu Zhang started talking.

Ouyang Xi...

Upon hearing this name, everyone fell silent instantly, even Li Mengke stopped talking.

Otherwise, this name is really terrible!

The Yunheng Mountain Range beheaded the Taoist master and killed tens of thousands of family members.

As members of an aristocratic family, they would inevitably feel chills on the back of their necks after hearing the news.

However, none of them treat their tenants too well.

"Yes!" Zhou Hao laughed.

"I received a letter from him a few days ago. He said everything was fine. Don't read it!"

"Your brother has found a good job. I want to trade with him!"

Gao Bingxu tore the leg of lamb in his hand, his mouth full of oil, and said vaguely.

"Although Zhou Yu is slightly inferior in strength, his ability to handle government affairs is still quite strong! I once observed government affairs with him at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I was very impressed!"

Huangfu Zhang did not hesitate to praise Zhou Yu in his words.

"Handling government affairs? Forget it, I thought I could fight!" Gao Bingxu shook his head after hearing this.

"Hahaha……"

When everyone saw his look, they laughed again.

"Besides you, who else is going to the Northern Barbarians this time?" Zhou Hao asked.

Dongfang Yuanwu thought for a moment and said, "I heard there is Liu Changyi."

"Liu Changyi?" Huangfu Zhang hummed softly.

"What's wrong, do you have any impression of this person?" Li Mengke asked.

"Well, I have a little impression."

Hearing this, everyone put down their chopsticks.

Among them, Dongfang Yuanwu was the most attentive. After all, he would have to deal with this person for a long time to come.

"Although this person belongs to the prince family, his behavior is completely different from others!"

"How to say?" Dongfang Yuanwu asked.

Huangfu Zhang took a sip of tea and continued: "He has his own set of standards in his heart. Many times he would rather give up the task than feel guilty!"

"but!"

A cold light flashed in Zhou Hao's eyes: "This kind of people are often more terrifying. They do everything based on their heart."

"Really? Then I understand!"

Dongfang Yuanwu immediately stood up and raised his wine glass: "Thank you for the reminder, we will see you later!"

“See you later!”

"Bon Voyage!"

Early morning five days later.

When Dongfang Yuanwu rushed to the North City Gate, he found a burly young man already waiting for him there.

"Liu Changyi!" he murmured to himself.

"You must be Dongfang Yuanwu. I have seen your palace examination competition and I have some impressions of you." Liu Changyi said with a smile.

The surging fighting spirit in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Facing strangers, Dongfang Yuanwu also regained his coldness, his face was like ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and his eyes exuded a heart-stopping light.

"If it weren't for the emperor's orders, I really want to have a discussion with you right now!" Liu Changyi said regretfully.

"me too!"

Dongfang Yuanwu got on his horse, passed him directly, and galloped forward.

Not to be outdone, Liu Changyi galloped on his horse.

The two of them quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

This scene fell in the eyes of General Wu Xuan who was standing on the top of the city. He, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Well, it’s quite interesting!

If they dare to fight directly against King Gu, he will appear immediately and capture them both!
