The Northern Palace is the largest house in Yacheng, Northern Territory. Neither the palace owner Sun Yuhai nor the city owner Hou Guangming can compare with the palace.
The main entrance and decoration of the palace do not look very rich, but an expert can see the furnishings in the palace at a glance. With just a few chairs, you can probably buy a house in Yacheng.
Without spending a penny, the second prince built a courtyard in Yacheng, Northern Territory, which was more majestic than the Territory Lord's Mansion.
However, neither Palace Master Sun Yuhai nor City Lord Hou Guangming dared to speak out. This is the emperor's biological brother. Even though he was sent to Beixuan Territory, he is still the prince of Beixuan Territory. Even the emperor has no objection. How can they dare to say anything?
The Prince's Mansion seemed particularly quiet in autumn, because the Second Prince didn't like the excitement. Since he built this compound, he had not hosted a banquet for officials and wealthy businessmen from the Northern Territory.
In his eyes, these cutscenes are unnecessary.
He is a powerful person and does not need other powerful people to support him. What he needs is the dragon chair in the imperial city.
After arriving at the inner house and entering the study, the second prince sat at the table and remained silent for a long time.
"Sir, it seems inappropriate to fall out with the Imperial City at this time." Master Huangfu Nantian brought him a cup of tea.
The second prince took the tea and said calmly: "Let's not talk about this for now. Is there any news about the Imperial Master?"
Huangfu Nantian nodded and said softly: "I just received news that he took the princess and a little girl to the Northern Tianshan Sword Sect. It is said that he is going to cross the Tianshan Mountains."
The second prince frowned and heard Huangfu Nantian say: "I have inquired that no one has crossed the Tianshan Mountains for thousands of years. It has long been recognized as a forbidden area of life in the five regions. Even if he is lucky enough to cross... at least... It takes three to five years.”
The second prince frowned again: "If he goes to cross the restricted area, what does it have to do with us?"
Huangfu Nantian laughed: "If he leaves at this critical time, if we leave within three years..."
Seeing that the second prince did not reply, he continued: "After the Five Regions Dynasty left the Imperial Master, can those people still be like Southern Xinjiang?"
The second prince nodded and replied: "Yes, continue."
Huangfu Nantian took a deep breath and said: "The people from Beihai made a mistake in the Nanxuan Territory. They had so many masters in the distraction realm, and so many masters died. This..."
When the second prince heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that God has given us an opportunity. You go and find a way to make this happen. Don't make me wait endlessly."
Huangfu Nantian smiled and said: "My subordinates, please prepare and set off in the next two days. We must make careful calculations this time and we cannot make any mistakes."
"While that guy is not in the Imperial City,... he spends three to five years traveling through the Death Forbidden Zone. Doesn't he think he has had enough?"
The second prince said coldly.
Obviously knowing that Beihai is unstable, knowing that he is not willing to just be a prince, this guy actually ignored the dynasty and took the princess to cross the no-man's restricted area, still going there for three to five years.
No one in the Five Realms Dynasty can fly. Even if something big happens to the Dynasty, the Imperial Master far away in Tianshan will probably be beyond his reach, right?
"Those people in Beihai are really stupid. They managed to arrange an assassination with great difficulty, but they were almost wiped out. I really don't understand what kind of cultivation these guys from Beihai Dragon Island have?" Two cold gleams flashed in the eyes of the second prince.
"But it doesn't matter. We have plenty of time to play with them slowly. Even if we spend a year or two preparing, we will achieve our goal in one fell swoop this time."
Huangfu Nantian frowned and said, "It seems that we still have enough time to prepare. We don't have to be in such a hurry as before."
The second prince shook his head: "We can't underestimate them. This time we have to study it carefully to see what kind of lineup Beihai can send. After all, we don't have many troops left."
Huangfu Nantian thought for a moment and replied softly: "We can convince the Palace Master that the strength of the Northern Territory is not small."
The second prince said slowly: "Don't tell them about this matter now. When the time comes, even if they have different intentions, so what?"
"What my lord said is that when the time comes, it won't be their turn to choose." Huangfu Nantian looked at him and replied softly.
After a moment of silence, the second prince said coldly: "The news came from the womb a few days ago that my mother actually went to Qingcheng to practice. You said that at this juncture she actually gave up everything in the imperial city. What do you think I should do? "
Huangfu Nantian frowned: "The entire imperial city knows about this. The imperial concubine did not hesitate to go to Qingcheng in order to practice Taoism. Even some powerful people have also had this idea. In their eyes, immortality is what they want."
The second prince shook his head, and there was a chill in his words: "These fools, as long as they master the imperial dynasty, they will master the training resources of the five domains. Will they have any skills to practice by then?"
After saying this, he walked quietly behind the desk, opened the heavy curtains, frowned at the map of the five-region imperial city, and occasionally glanced in the direction of the imperial city, but mostly stayed in the direction of Beihai. , there is his hope.
After a long time, the second prince frowned and said: "We have to come up with a strategy right away. Although it doesn't have to be right away...but we still need to find an excuse to get the Territory Lord's Mansion to take action and let them start training their troops... ..We also need to prepare our own troops and horses, and everything must be prepared in advance.”
Huangfu Nantian responded, and the two stood in front of the map and started pointing.
"There are still three years left, it's still not too late!" the second prince said.
"What your Excellency said is that three years is a good thing for both us and Beihai."
Huangfu Nantian stared at the map and said softly.
"When that time comes, I want all this to become history." The second prince said coldly.
Huangfu Nantian seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and he pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that there is an elder on Dragon Island who is in the late stage of the Tribulation Realm. If we can invite him..."
"You handle this matter yourself. As long as he agrees, everything will be no problem after it is done."
For his own dream, the second prince made up his mind.
Huangfu Nantian said softly: "Don't worry, sir. I will go and meet him when I go to Beihai this time."
The second prince looked at him and smiled: "As long as Master, you can handle this matter well, you will have your own share of this great achievement."
Huangfu Nantian nodded and said, "This is what my subordinates should do. Please don't worry, sir."
The second prince thought for a while and then asked: "Of our two generals, one is at the first level of distraction and the other is at the second level. You go to Beihai this time and see if you can ask for some elixirs and come back so that they can break through again. ,how?"
When the master heard this, he quickly said: "We should take this matter seriously. After all, the stronger our men are, the smoother things will be done in the future."
"Although they are not very high-level, they are very loyal. Practitioners like this are hard to find nowadays. We have to protect them and only let them come on stage at critical times. Normally, let them practice quietly at home. ."
Huangfu Nantian didn't seem to have thought that the second prince meant this. He was slightly startled and then said: "I would like to thank the master for your kindness on their behalf. I will tell them to practice hard and strive to break through two or three realms in two years."
"Don't worry about money. As long as you can buy the elixir, buy it for them. We will get back these little money one day."
The second prince looked at him and said quietly.
"One more thing. The palace has been built. Do you want to find a princess for His Highness in the Northern Territory?"
Huangfu Nantian looked at him and remembered what others had been asking him about.
After all, in the eyes of the powerful people in Beixuan Territory, the Prince of Beihai in front of them is the biggest powerful person.
The second prince smiled bitterly and replied: "If I don't complete that matter, do you think I will find a woman to come back? My mood is suffering all the time, do you understand?"
Huangfu Nantian was startled, looked at him and said: "The dignitaries in this Yacheng are asking their subordinates for news about the Lord every day, thinking of marrying their own girls."
Looking at Huangfu Nantian's appearance, the second prince frowned and said, "Well, let's wait until you come back from Beihai to discuss this matter. The earliest is next spring. By then, we will be almost ready."
Huangfu Nantian lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied: "That's fine. We are not a small family. We have to carefully select a few until next spring."
This approach is in line with the etiquette of selecting concubines in the dynasty.
Huangfu Nantian, who had already reached the door, turned around, looked at him and asked, "That Huangfu Ye ran away to Beihai. Do I want to see him when I get back?"
When the second prince heard this, he sneered and replied: "A guy who has failed to accomplish much and failed to do more than is good for him is just missing."
Huangfu Nantian thought for a while and sighed: "It's true what your Excellency said. The current owner of the palace in Xixuan Territory has been changed, and his power is gone."
"Let him stay in Beihai. It's better than coming back and being caught and sent to death."
The second prince gently closed the curtain on the wall, and his face returned to a look of neither sadness nor happiness.
Huangfu Nantian shook his head and replied: "I'll go down and make preparations. We'll leave in the next two days."
"Go to Beihai and have a good talk with them. After all, this matter is beneficial to both parties. It doesn't matter if we stay a little longer. We can get things done."
The second prince waved his hand to ask him to leave, then turned and walked towards the back room.
Huangfu Nantian nodded, turned around and walked out of the study.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days. I didn't expect that I would have to run around outside during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year."
With a sigh, Huangfu Nantian left the Prince's Mansion.
...
In the Imperial City of the Central Region, in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Hua Tianxia carried the food box and was led by the housekeeper to the living room. Li Hongxiu was making tea and chatting with Lin Yueru and Ye Zhiqiu.
Li Hongxiu looked at Hua Tianxia who walked in and said with a smile: "You're just in time. Should I spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at your place this year, or will you come over to my house?"
Hua Tianxia thought for a while and replied: "It's better to go to Huamanlou. Nalan is not here, leaving Luoyu alone. I'm afraid she won't be busy."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "It's the same wherever you go, as long as everyone is together."
"Won't Ye'er come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Lin Yueru couldn't help but feel a little anxious after coming for so long and there was no news from Li Ye.
Hua Tianxia looked at her and smiled: "That guy must have gone to Tianshan. By the way, our guy should be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. He went back to practice to seek a breakthrough, not to eat or drink!" Li Hongxiu looked at her and laughed.
Hua Tianxia also knew this truth, but Nalan Yu had been back home for a long time and was a little worried. He looked at Li Hong and asked: "You didn't ask sir, can my Nalan break through this time?"
Li Hongxiu shook his head and said with a smile: "He is not a god."
"I heard that the Imperial Master has also found a young apprentice. I don't know when he will bring him back for us to see?" Hua Tianxia looked at Ye Zhiqiu and Lin Pengru and said with a smile.
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while, looked at Li Hongxiu and asked, "Hongxiu, you said Ye'er hasn't made a breakthrough in his own realm, so why are you so anxious to find an apprentice?"
Li Hongxiu rolled his eyes, opened the food box Hua Tianxia brought, took out a box of pastries, opened it, and placed it on the table.
Then he looked at the women and said, "Who can guess what that boy is thinking? His cultivation is still hanging in the air, but he actually took a young apprentice and the princess to the Tianshan Mountains."
Seeing that the women didn't respond, he couldn't help but look at Hua Tianxia and asked: "Your Nalan won't follow him into the Tianshan Mountains, right?"
Hua Tianxia couldn't help but laugh and said: "How dare he go? The emperor is still waiting for his return here? I heard that it took two or three years for him to get out of Tianshan?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, frowned and asked, "Isn't it the case that I haven't seen anyone else for several years?"
Lin Yueru patted her hand and consoled her: "You have to ask your husband about this. He might know."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded gently.
"Where did the three little guys go?" Hua Tianxia couldn't help but ask as he didn't notice Li Xiaoxue and others.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the door and said, "I ran out early in the morning, saying I wanted to buy some pastries for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's almost noon and I don't know if I'll be back."
Li Hongxiu glared at her: "They have grown up and are not children, so how can they be so strict?"
...
