Travel through the heavens

On this day, Xiao Se walked out of Xueluo Villa and led Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo and Hua Jin to Qianjin Terrace. The news spread throughout Tianqi City in an instant, and everyone who heard it was shocked.

A prince who has a good chance of becoming the crown prince returns to Tianqi. Apart from the imperial palace and his own home, the first place he goes to is actually a gambling house?

However, Xiao Se was indeed a frequent visitor to Qianjintai. As a prince, he loved gambling and was indeed good at it. He once had a big bet with Ao Yu, the prince of Nanjue, there and won a city of Nanjue. This story was widely circulated in Tianqi as a good story.

It was also on this day that everyone in the city knew one thing, that is, the Sixth Prince Xiao Se was going to host a banquet for the nobles of Tianqi City at Qianjintai.

The golden invitation cards were sent to the guests' homes in two batches. However, the first batch was given to the prominent nobles in Tianqi City, while the second batch was given to some leaders of the lower five sects who were not prominent but could make their way around Tianqi City.

Those who did not receive an invitation were inevitably a little worried, as this proved that in the Sixth Prince's mind, they were not yet qualified enough to be invited to this grand banquet.

However, the person who received the invitation was not very happy. The invitation was just a light piece of paper, but when weighing it in the hand, it felt like a thousand-pound weight.

The White Prince's Palace and the Red Prince's Palace, which had always been fighting with each other, surprisingly had a tacit understanding this time. Many people from both of them were sent out to join many large and powerful families.

There are also some people who are quietly moving around, looking for people to discuss or lobby.

At the Snowfall Villa, Ye Ruoyi walked into the backyard and said softly, "The invitations have all been sent out. I just went to Qianjintai to check it out. They have made thorough preparations and will not delay the banquet."

Xiao Se nodded and glanced at Ye Ruoyi: "If that's the case, why do you look so worried? Are you worried that some of them won't come?"

"I'm not afraid that some of them won't come. I'm afraid that none of them will come." Ye Ruoyi said worriedly, "After all, many things in Tianqi City are different from before."

Lei Wujie scratched his head and sighed: "If no one comes, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"

Xiao Se said calmly, "There's nothing to worry about. What's supposed to come will eventually come. Even if you don't want it to come, it will eventually come."

On the day of the grand banquet, a thousand gold coins were spent in Taichung.

The gambling tables that were originally there were removed and replaced with exquisite nanmu tables. Countless maids and servants in gorgeous clothes walked briskly around the venue, carefully making the final arrangements.

This banquet will last from the evening until midnight. It has been many years since anyone in Tianqi City dared to hold such a grand banquet.

On this day, all eyes in Apocalypse City were focused here, and every move here would be transmitted by different people at the fastest speed.

Fang Muye and Hua Jin sat in the upper seats on the second floor with faint smiles on their faces. They looked at Xiao Se, Tang Lian, Sikong Qianluo and Tu Erye in the main hall. It was obvious that the expressions of the four of them were not very good, because there were only a few of them sitting in the huge Qianjintai.

Master Tu paced back and forth for a few steps, shook his sleeves helplessly, and sighed heavily: "According to the rules of the banquets held by the noble families of Tianqi City, the guests will arrive one after another two hours before the official start of the banquet, but now there is only one hour left before the banquet, and no one has come."

Xiao Se said calmly with a cold face: "Don't worry."

Sikong Qianluo frowned and said to Tang Lian, "Big Brother, Lei Wujie and Miss Ye have been standing at the door welcoming guests for more than an hour. Let's go and replace them."

Tang Lian nodded, and was about to go over with Sikong Qianluo when she heard Ye Ruoyi's joyful voice coming from the door: "Dad, you are finally here."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burly figure appear at the door. It was none other than Ye Xiaoying, the current number one man in the Beili Army.

Lei Wujie clasped his fists and said respectfully: "My nephew greets my uncle."

Ye Xiaoying nodded slightly at him, then touched Ye Ruoyi's head and said with concern: "My dear daughter, don't get tired."

Lei Wujie said, "Miss Ye, why don't you go in with Uncle Shi? I'll be fine here alone."

Ye Ruoyi shook her head: "It's okay, I'm not tired."

At this time, Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo came over and bowed to Ye Xiaoying first: "Greetings, General Ye."

Then Tang Lian said to Ye Ruoyi: "Miss Ye, you and Lei Wujie should accompany General Ye inside, and leave this place to me and Qianluo."

Ye Ruoyi still shook her head: "You are not familiar with the people in Tianqi City, so let me do it."

Sikong Qianluo said: "Then my senior brother and I will stay here with you."

This time, Ye Ruoyi smiled and nodded, agreeing, and looked at Ye Xiaoying: "Dad, please go in quickly."

Ye Xiaoying said "OK" and walked inside.

The attendant of Qianjintai immediately reported in a loud voice: "The guests have arrived. General Ye Xiaoying, the general of the Central Army, has arrived!"

Xiao Se and Tu Erye hurriedly went forward, saluted towards Ye Xiaoying, and respectfully called him "General".

Ye Xiaoying glanced at the empty Qianjintai and smiled coldly: "The people of Tianqi City are still the same as always. There is really no surprise at all."

Xiao Se did not respond, but said respectfully: "General, please take a seat."

Ye Xiaoying nodded, walked up to the second floor, and when he saw Fang Muye, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Brother Fang, we meet again. I would also like to congratulate Brother Fang for being on the top of the list and becoming famous all over the world."

Fang Muye cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, General Ye."

Ye Xiaoying's arrival seemed to be a start. Qianjintai, which had been without any guests for an hour, received a new group of guests soon after.

Suddenly, a notice was heard from the door: "The guests have arrived. The chief manager of Tianmingzhai, Jiujiudao, and his disciples from the three sects and nineteen prefectures have come to the banquet." Then seven people walked in.

Jiujiudao was very familiar with Xiao Se and Tu Erye. He waved to them and found a seat to sit down.

Ye Xiaoying glanced at them, then turned to Fang Muye and said softly, "Brother Fang, this is your first time in Tianqi, so you may not know that these three gates and nineteen prefectures are an alliance of the nine major sects in Tianqi City headed by Tianmingzhai. They can manage things that the Tianqi City government cannot control, they can do black industries that big businessmen cannot get involved in, and they can get clues about information that the Dali Temple cannot investigate. They are a force that cannot be underestimated in Tianqi City. It's just that, it would be better if they didn't come." Having said that, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Fang Muye smiled slightly and said nothing, but Hua Jin asked in confusion: "General, why is it better not to come?"

Ye Xiaoying looked deep in his eyes and said quietly, "It's Chu He's ability to make friends with these people, but if he only makes friends with these people, it proves that the current Sixth Prince can only command these ordinary people, which means that his prestige is not as good as before, which is extremely disadvantageous for him to sit in that position."

Hua Jin shook his head and sighed, "You adults' world is really complicated."

Fang Muye patted her head and comforted her, "It's not that your world is complicated, it's just that things in the imperial city and in the court are never simple. You practice well, as long as you are strong enough, everything around you will be simple."

Hua Jin nodded and said, "I understand, Master."
