Chapter 1671 Qianjintai

"Xiao Se, you can't stay in the house anymore, it's time to take the first step." Ye Ruoyi suddenly said in the pavilion in the back garden of Xueluo Villa.

"Does the general mean that you come here?" Xiao Se said with a serious look.

"I don't represent my father. His idea is to support you to ascend to the throne of God so that he can gain greater power. But I am different. I came to Xueluo Villa this time because I want to be your counselor." Ye Ruo Yi also had a serious look on his face.

"You are a dragon, and I just want to be a gust of wind to help you ascend to the throne of the Nine Heavens." Ye Ruoyi continued without waiting for Xiao Se's reply.

If you want to fight for the world, you must first have advisers to help you. This is true whether it is Emperor Tai'an or Emperor Mingde. Even now, the Red King and the White King have their own advisers, only Xiao Se does not have them. As counselors, none of the four guardians of Apocalypse are suitable to be counselors.

Needless to say, Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo are two people. Although Ji Xue and Tang Lian are smart and calm enough, they are not cunning enough, so they are not suitable to be counselors. On the contrary, Ye Ruoyi is different. Yes, she is smart enough, cunning enough, and cruel enough when necessary.

Although she didn't show it in front of Xiao Se, Lei Wujie and others, Shen Fei saw through her, because Ye Ruoyi gave him a feeling somewhat similar to Tian Yan. It can be said that she fully meets the conditions for being a counselor, a qualified A counselor will help the person he assists to make up his mind when he hesitates.

"So according to what you want, what's the first step?" Xiao Se said slowly.

"The first step is to tell the entire Tianqi City that you, King Yong'an, are back and fighting for the throne." Ye Ruoyi took out a scroll from her body and spread it out on the table. All the names on it were densely packed. If you look carefully, you will find that the names at the front of the scroll are all important ministers of the dynasty.

"What does this mean?" Lei Wujie looked at the scroll and looked at Ye Ruoyi with confusion.

"This is the guest list." Ye Ruoyi said in a deep voice.

"Guests?" Lei Wujie still didn't understand what Ye Ruoyi meant.

"We are going to hold a banquet. These people are either the princes and nobles in Tianqi City, or the high-ranking officials in the court, as well as the military generals, and the big merchants in Tianqi City.

The princes and nobles represent the Xiao family, the dignitaries are the family forces of Tianqi, and behind the generals are Beili's army, and these big families control the economic lifeline of the entire Tianqi. We need to win over some of these people. , some people we need to deter. "Ye Ruoyi continued.

Xiao Se answered what happened in Apocalypse City. It can be said that anyone who cares about Apocalypse City knows about it. However, when Xiao Se does not appear in public, these people will pretend not to know. It has been several days since Xiao Se returned to Apocalypse City. Although every day There are quite a few guests, and there are also greeting cards and so on, but these people are all small shrimps, and none of them has weight.

After all, it has been several years since Xiao Se left Tianqi City. Even though he is now famous in the world, it will not have a big impact on the court. The fight for the throne does not depend on personal strength. Before Emperor Mingde has expressed his position, Naturally, no one would place a bet on Xiao Se easily.

But this is no wonder for them. The battle for the throne has always been very cruel. Once they fail, they will be dismissed from office and lose their titles, or their families will be destroyed. Xiao Xiami can give it a try depending on the situation, but for those big shots, they will not stand down easily. Judging from the original work, not siding with Xiao Se was undoubtedly the right choice. He himself didn't care about the throne and would give it up if he wanted to, but those who sided with him were tricked into bleeding.

"I haven't been in Tianqi for many years. Apart from a few names, I don't know anyone else. You have been in Tianqi for many years. I trust your judgment. According to this list, Butler Xu will prepare invitations and send them to their respective mansions. Come on." Xiao Se looked at the list on the scroll, hesitated for a while, and nodded in agreement.

Since he took the initiative to return to Tianqi City, he naturally wanted to fight for that position. He also wanted to do some things, such as overturning the case for King Langya. If he wanted to do this, he could only fight for that position. , as for how to deal with it after the fight is over, that is another matter.

"In what capacity, the sixth prince or the Yong'an King?" Ye Ruoyi asked.

"Don't use either of these, use the name Xiao Se." Xiao Se said as he tapped the stone table with his fingers.

"Okay, as for the location, Diaolou Xiaozhu or Tianxiaxuan are both good choices. After all, we invite too many guests. Of course, it can also be located in the mansion, but you never like those common people to enter your mansion, so I I didn't think about it." Ye Ruoyi didn't care much about Xiao Se using this name to prepare the invitation. It was good that Xiao Se was willing to host the banquet, so there was no need to worry about it.

"There is no need for small carved buildings or Tianxia Pavilion. How can those vulgar places be suitable for my banquet of Xiao Se? Let's go to Qianjin Terrace." Xiao Se said in an astonishing voice.

"Qianjintai, the first gambling house in Tianqi." Lei Wujie couldn't help shouting.

"No, it's the best gambling house in the world." Xiao Se said with a smile. Although there are big casinos in Nanjue, when it comes to luxury and money, you still have to look at Qianjintai.

"Qian Jin Tai, this." A banquet was held in the gambling house to entertain dignitaries, and Ye Ruoyi was a little hesitant.

"It's Qianjintai. I should go see my old friend." Xiao Se didn't give Ye Ruoyi a chance to continue. He stood up and walked out. From what he said just now, he should go to Qianjintai. Xiao Se and the owner of Qianjintai can be regarded as old friends.

When he was still the sixth prince, perhaps because of the influence of King Langya, he didn't like to hang out in the court, but hung out in the casino, making many friends from all walks of life.

When Xiao Se was about to walk out of the back garden, Ye Ruoyi, Sikong Qianluo and others immediately followed him and went to Qianjintai with Xiao Se. Only Shen Fei didn't follow. Lei Wujie, Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo had never been there, so they were naturally curious about it. After all, it was said that Xiao Se won a city there, but Shen Fei had been there, so he naturally had no interest.

"I didn't expect the boss there to have good cooking skills."

After Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo and others came back from Qianjintai, Shen Fei realized that Xiao Se chose there not only because he wanted to be different, but also because the boss there had good cooking skills.

This kind of banquet is very particular. It is said that Western food is very particular, but strictly speaking, the banquets here in China are actually more particular.

"You are worried that some of them will not come." After the invitation was sent out, Xiao Se looked at Ye Ruoyi, who looked a little sad, and said with a smile.

"I'm not worried that some of them will not come, I'm worried that all of them will not come. Many things in Tianqi City are different now."

This banquet is very important to Xiao Se. If no one really comes at that time, Xiao Se's face will be lost. At that time, it can be said that there is no need to consider the matter of fighting for the throne.

"There is nothing to worry about. What is supposed to come will always come, and what you don't want to come will eventually come." Xiao Se is very confident about this, which gives Ye Ruoyi a little comfort.

Xiao Se didn't care much about the invitations that were sent out, but those who received the invitations and those who didn't were in a bad mood at this time. Those who received the invitations didn't know whether they should go at that time, and those who didn't receive the invitations showed that the Sixth Prince didn't care about them at all.

"Strange, didn't the monk say he would come to Tianqi City? He should have arrived a long time ago, but where is he?" Lei Wujie then talked about Wuxin. They had been in Tianqi City for so many days, but they didn't see Wuxin coming, which made Lei Wujie feel a little strange.

"Don't worry, with his strength, if he wants to leave, there won't be many people in Tianqi City who can keep him." Xiao Se smiled and comforted Lei Wujie, but his heart was not as indifferent as his expression, but he was very worried that the monk would run to a place he shouldn't go.

With Wuxin's strength, there weren't many people in Tianqi City who could keep him, but there was a place that could definitely keep him. This was a big part of the reason why Wuxin came to Tianqi City, but Xiao Se also paid attention to the situation in the palace and didn't receive any information about someone breaking into the palace recently, which made him a little relieved.

"This is really too particular."

Three days later, the banquet at Qianjintai was held. Shen Fei naturally could not be absent. After seeing the specifications of the banquet, he could not help but marvel. To be frank, he had never been so particular when he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It can only be said that it was worthy of the imperial banquet level.

At the same time, Shen Fei also knew the reason why Xiao Se chose Qianjintai for this banquet, that is, only Qianjintai could gather the materials for this banquet in three days, and other places could not.

Then, under Xiao Se's introduction, Shen Fei met the so-called Four Young Masters of Tianqi. They were in charge of all kinds of people in Tianqi City. They were not good at fighting, but they had a natural advantage in intelligence. Even the killers of Anhe could be found out by them.

Originally, Xiao Se had a good chat with them, but as time passed, only a few guests arrived, and they were not big shots. The atmosphere on the scene became a little heavy, but Xiao Se did not care about it at all, and his face was as confident as ever.

Sure enough, not long after, a carriage came. The big shots finally arrived. The real big shots, Lan Yuehou and the national teacher Qi Tianchen, and then the Grand Master also arrived.

With the arrival of these three big shots, soon after, you can hear the galloping carriages on the streets of Tianqi City from time to time. These are the people who were watching. After knowing that these three had arrived, they immediately rushed over at full speed. These three had arrived. If they hadn't arrived yet, wouldn't it mean that they were more famous than these three.

"It's really interesting. It's hard for them to run so fast. They must have been prepared long ago." Listening to the emcee on the side constantly shouting that some big shot like Shangshu and Shilang had arrived, Shen Fei couldn't help laughing.

Soon, almost all the officials arrived. The only ones who didn't come were Bai Wang and Chi Wang. Xiaose's banquet would invite them for both emotional and rational reasons. Whether they come or not is one thing, and whether you invite them or not is another.

However, even so, some people still did not arrive. These people were not officials, but businessmen. However, these people did not hold out for long, because Hua Jin's new apprentice arrived, and the third young master of the Qingzhou Mu family arrived. With his arrival, those businessmen naturally did not dare to neglect him, otherwise they would not be able to do business in the future.

"Prepare for the banquet." After seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Ye Ruoyi gave the order. After all, the Grand Master, the Imperial Master, and Lan Yuehou had been waiting for a long time. After all, they were the first to arrive, and because of their arrival, others came.

"Open the banquet."

"Sixth brother, why are you opening the banquet so early? You didn't even wait for me." Bai Wang Xiao Chong, supported by his staff, walked into the hall of Qianjintai. The Bai Wang finally came, and then the Chi Wang came soon, but he was different from Bai Wang. He didn't even want to greet Xiao Se.

"It's really strange that such a prince has so many people supporting him. I can't understand it."

Looking at the eyes of the second prince, Shen Fei couldn't help but shook his head secretly. The second prince was indeed powerful, but he was blind. In this case, he couldn't sit in that supreme position. After all, it's not good to let a blind man be the emperor.

In theory, there are very few people standing on the side of such a prince, but there are many people standing beside the second prince. This is something that the defense can't understand. It can only be said that this world is a bit strange, just like not knowing martial arts.

"Bai can establish a country, Chi can expand territory, hum."

Then Shen Fei looked at the seventh prince, Chi Wang, who was a very popular prince in Tianqi City. Many people said that if he succeeded to the throne, he could expand territory. However, in Shen Fei's opinion, he was completely ambitious but incompetent. It can be seen from the eunuchs' choice to support him. If he was really talented, those eunuchs would definitely not dare to choose him.

Although Xiao Se held the banquet at Qianjintai this time, he did not cause any trouble because Tang Lian was not dead, so the banquet ended in a dull atmosphere. If it were any other banquet, it would definitely be very lively, but this time the three princes sat on one side, and these people wanted to leave early, so they naturally would not do anything unnecessary.

"Your Majesty has arrived." When the banquet just ended and everyone was about to leave, Emperor Mingde appeared, followed by the five eunuchs. Seeing Emperor Mingde appear, everyone present, including King Chi and King Bai, knelt down. Only Xiao Se stood there alone. As for Shen Fei, he disappeared with a body-blinking technique.

Then Emperor Mingde and Xiao Se began to chat, which made the faces of King Bai and King Chi, who were kneeling on the side, suddenly become very ugly. Emperor Mingde would never treat them like this.

"The Lonely Void Formation, interesting." Shen Fei, who left Qianjintai, just turned a street and immediately found the changes in the surrounding environment. After taking a glance, Shen Fei immediately understood what it was, the Lonely Void Formation. Then he felt a cold and cold energy behind him, attacking his back.

Bang.

After a flash of golden light, the person who attacked Shen Fei not only failed, but also retreated several steps.

"The power of the dragon elephant." The black-clothed man who attacked Shen Fei couldn't help but screamed.

"Yes, let me see who you are?" As Shen Fei finished speaking, a huge golden hand appeared out of thin air in front of him and grabbed the man in black.
