Started from listening to music in the brothel and earned billions of bad people

Just now, Li Xingyun had solemnly declared that he had invited all the princes to the gathering. However, Li Xingfan had not yet arrived, which undoubtedly gave Li Xinghu the perfect opportunity to mock and suppress Li Xingyun.

Facing Li Xinghu's sarcasm, Li Xingyun didn't even bother to turn his head, but just said coldly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Third brother has other arrangements. He will show up with a wonderful show later." After that, he walked towards the city wall on his own.

Hearing this, Li Xinghu's face instantly turned grim. He had originally thought he could use this opportunity to severely humiliate Li Xingyun, but he hadn't expected the other party to so easily disarm his attack. It felt like he had thrown a punch with all his strength, only to hit soft cotton. The feeling of having no place to put his force made him extremely annoyed and unhappy!

The other two standing nearby also had darkened expressions. They could clearly hear the hidden meaning in Li Xingyun's words. What kind of performance could Li Xingfan possibly need to prepare? There must be something hidden. But since Li Xingyun hadn't spoken out loud, they didn't dare to question him. They could only follow him silently, climbing up the city wall together.

After the four of them had taken their seats at a corner of the city wall, they all faced Shenwu City. From here, the entire scene in front of the north gate was in full view, with an extremely wide field of vision, allowing them to see everything happening there clearly.

Before them lay an antique, exquisitely carved eight-immortal table, laden with eighteen mouth-watering, rare dishes. These dishes were delicately presented on a variety of plates and bowls, each exuding an alluring aroma, its rich flavors seemingly piercing one's nostrils and reaching the depths of one's soul.

Even more striking is the fact that these dishes are constantly steaming! The rising white mist is as light and elegant as the dancing veils of a fairy. Through this thin layer of mist, you can see the shiny surface of the dishes, their vibrant colors sparkling and eye-catching, whetting your appetite at the mere sight.

It was obvious that they had just been served on the table, steaming hot and freshly baked, waiting for diners to enjoy this sumptuous feast.

Obviously, this was something prepared early on, not something taken at the last minute!

In the Prince of Han’s Palace!

"Your Highness... the time has come." Inside the study, Monk Zhilu clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and spoke softly to Li Xingfan, who was sitting at the desk in deep thought.

Li Xingfan slowly raised his head upon hearing the voice, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Zhilu, his face filled with solemnity. He took a deep breath, gathered his composure, and then asked slowly, "Are you all ready?"

Zhi Lu straightened up, nodded seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. We are just waiting for your order to start the action!"

Hearing this, Li Xingfan breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained tense. He was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Is it truly foolproof?"

Zhilu answered without hesitation: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have arranged all the details properly, and there will be no mistakes!"

Li Xingfan stared at Zhilu's determined eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He stood up suddenly, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Okay! Then take action immediately!"

"Yes!" Zhilu agreed, turned around and left quickly.

As Zhilu stepped out of the study, the entire Han Palace seemed to spring to life, swiftly and orderly moving. Teams of well-trained guards in civilian clothes emerged in unison from every corner, surrounding beautiful yet nervous women in a variety of clothing. They moved silently and swiftly along hidden passageways. The winding passages led directly outside the palace, unnoticed.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about half an hour, Zhilu reappeared at the door of the study. He knocked gently, and after receiving an answer, he pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the study, Li Xingfan couldn't wait to ask, "Is everything done?"

Zhilu stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and replied, "Your Highness, everything is proceeding smoothly as planned. The guards at the city gates have all been replaced by our men to ensure that no news leaks out."

"Well! That's good!" Li Xingfan nodded, sat down again, stopped talking, and looked quietly at a candle that had just been lit on the table!

At the south gate of Shenwu City, under the cover of night, a strong and well-trained team is carrying out patrol missions in an orderly manner.

This team consisted of elite forces from the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Uniform Guards, and the Eastern Depot, as well as various factions within Shenwu City and the close associates of the various princes. Each member wore a solemn expression, their gazes sharp as those of a hawk, as if nothing could escape their vigilance. Even a tiny, insignificant insect would be foolishly attempting to slip away beneath their watchful gaze!

At this moment, the originally silent street was suddenly shattered by a sharp, angry shout. "Who are you? Stop!" This roar came from the mouth of a Jinyiwei, and its voice resounded throughout the entire block like thunder.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw three figures in the shadows not far away, stealthily groping their way towards the city gate. They seemed to be trying hard to conceal their whereabouts, but they couldn't escape the Jinyiwei's keen detection.

You should know that the south gate of Shenwu City is the closest gate to Shenwu Terrace, so the guard force deployed here is also the strongest.

As the Jinyiwei's angry shout rang out, countless dark shadows suddenly appeared from the dark corners in all directions like ghosts. In just three breaths, these shadows had successfully surrounded the three furtive figures, leaving no escape.

At the same time, the patrol team saw this and didn't hesitate. They whipped their horses and galloped towards the three men at lightning speed. The leading Jinyiwei nimbly jumped off his horse, took a big step forward, and then, with his eyes wide open, shouted loudly: "The city is under curfew. Who are you? How dare you trespass through the city gate at this time!"

The three sneaky figures were completely exposed in the air, and the large number of lit torches illuminated their figures clearly!

Not far ahead, there were three people standing there: two men and one woman. The two men were dressed as guards, and their appearances were ordinary and without any special features. If they were placed in a bustling crowd, no one would probably pay them a second glance.
