Chapter 35 Night Banquet

Xuanyuan Qingli's hearing was so extraordinary that even though those people's voices were lowered, he still heard every word.

"Have you heard? The third prince seems to be missing."

"Why haven't you heard about it? This matter has been spread everywhere. I heard that he ran away last year. Before that, everyone thought that he was conducting secret training somewhere. Unexpectedly, he left long ago."

"This is a big deal. It's hard for the Third Prince to hide it for so long."

"It's all forced by the eldest prince. If you don't run quietly, you might disappear halfway. You have forgotten that last winter, after the quarrel between the eldest prince and Miss Zhu, it was revealed that the third prince happened to be fighting for one When the oiran provoked him, he beat the third prince until he vomited blood on the spot. If someone hadn't stopped him at the critical moment, he might have beaten the third prince to death."

"Hey, doesn't the third prince's running away mean that he has given up on the fight for the throne?"

"Yeah, so now that the eldest prince is at the peak of his power, everyone is optimistic about him and thinks that he must be the best choice for the prince. Those who are waiting and watching can't wait to express their support."

"I was talking about how the eldest prince suddenly became very high-spirited in the past two days, and even invited the nobles of the empire to gather at his residence. It turned out that his position was unprecedentedly stable, and he began to build relationships and win over the next generation of the empire for his use."

"Yes, so at the banquet the night after tomorrow, almost all the young nobles with status and status are preparing to attend. This is a great opportunity to show loyalty to the eldest prince."

Xuanyuan Qingli smiled slightly. She didn't expect to meet the guests of Davis' banquet as soon as she arrived. Didn't the opportunity come now?

When the time comes, let him know what it means to be extremely happy and sad.

In the next two days, Xuanyuan Qingli was busy preparing medicines and collecting information.

Although it was his first time to come to Star Luo City, many things were easy as long as he had money. As long as the information was not too sensitive, he could basically buy it.

Moreover, he bought it with another face, which greatly increased the security and concealment.

Anyway, he will only stay in Xingluo City for a few days. When the time comes to finish his work and leave, even if someone finds out about him, it will be too late.

Time flies and it’s the night of the third day.

Many aristocratic children in the imperial capital marched towards the eldest prince's house in twos and threes, and Romeo was one of them.

Romeo's ancestor was a founding hero and he was a great nobleman. He became more and more prosperous in his grandfather's generation.

Twenty years ago, during the war with the Tiandou Empire, his grandfather once created a brilliant record of beheading 80,000 people and trapping and killing 200,000 people. This frightened Prince Snow Star of the Tiandou Empire. From then on, he only dared to retreat and defend. Nor dare to bend the bow and herd horses.

If it hadn't been for the interference of Wuhun Palace at that time, even if the Star Luo Empire couldn't destroy the Tiandou Empire, it could at least take over a few provinces.

It's a pity that the great opportunity was forcibly blocked under Wuhun Palace's mainland balancing policy. This is also the biggest reason why the Star Luo Empire has deep resentment towards Wuhun Palace, because it prevented them from destroying the Tiandou Empire.

With this battle, Romeo's grandfather became one of the most dazzling generals in the Star Luo Empire and a famous murderer in the Douluo Continent. After walking on the bones of the Tiandou people, now twenty years later, he has become one of the great kings of the empire. The leader of the marshals is the super boss who stamps his feet and shakes the empire.

As the youngest grandson, Romeo was born into such a family and developed an arrogant and cruel character.

In addition, his cultivation talent is very good, which makes him even more arrogant. He always belittles and humiliates others habitually, and beats people to death and maims at every turn. Therefore, his popularity is very low. When they see him, those nobles in twos and threes stay away.

Unlike the Tiandou Empire, which is accustomed to riding in horse-drawn carriages, the Star Luo Empire has a strong martial arts style, so nobles like to ride horses when traveling.

Romeo was riding on a tall horse with his head held high, and he didn't care about other people's reactions. What he wanted was that everyone feared and hated him but had nothing to do with him, which made him feel excited.

"I don't know that one day I will be able to dominate the battlefield like my grandfather, behead a hundred thousand soldiers and generals of Tiandou, steal all the women of Tiandou, let my name of Romeo spread throughout the continent, and make the sheep of Tiandou tremble. .”

Romeo sighed. Just before he left home, his grandfather was telling him impassionedly about how he killed Tiandou soldiers and civilians like mowing grass, and how he implemented the three-guang policy on the Tiandou frontier. Body generation.

While he was imagining the scene of burning, killing, looting, and destroying the country and the city in the Tiandou Empire, someone suddenly called his name.

Romeo looked up and saw a face peeking out from the window of a private room facing the street in a high-end restaurant ahead, waving to him.

"Huh? Second uncle? Didn't he go to a friend's party? Could it be that the party was in the private room of this restaurant?"

Romeo and his second uncle had very similar personalities, so they were very close. Seeing his second uncle greeting him, Romeo walked towards the restaurant without thinking.

About half an hour later, Romeo came out of the restaurant again, walking towards the eldest prince's mansion with his still aloof and defiant attitude.

Seeing that no one came to talk to him along the way, Xuanyuan Qingli Weiwei couldn't help but sigh that this guy is really disgusting. He is a beggar and has three poor friends. This guy is so good that he is not even as good as a beggar. He chose this goal. So true.

That's right, the current Romeo is pretended by Xuanyuan Qingli. As for the real Romeo, his body is naturally gone.

The journey into the First Prince's Mansion went smoothly. Although he had never been here before, he could just follow the crowd and see how others went.

Moreover, he has strong hearing and can get a lot of information from the conversations of those people. As long as his martial spirit is not exposed, he is not afraid of being gang-conscious.

Taking a step back, even if he escapes with his super fast speed, he is very sure that as long as he is allowed to rise into the air, the Titled Douluo will not be able to catch up with him, unless he is a Titled Douluo with a flying martial spirit. .

Such titled Douluo are rare in the entire continent, and they are basically found in Wuhun Palace, and definitely not in Star Luo City.

Xuanyuan Qingli mingled in the crowd with Romeo's face in front of him. Occasionally, someone would come over to flatter him, but he would always make a faint hum with his nostrils raised to the sky. Everyone was not surprised by this.

The Grand Prince's Mansion covers a vast area. The place where Davis held the banquet was in an empty hall. It seemed to be specially built for parties. It could accommodate hundreds of people inside at the same time. Therefore, although there were many people, there were not many people who came. Not crowded.

At this time, the lanterns were on, and the hall was brightly lit. A large number of lighting tools and soul guides made the night feel like day.

The Star Luo Empire was so powerful that the majestic prince Davis naturally would not entertain the guests personally. He had not arrived yet. Several young members of the royal family were welcoming everyone in and then arranging their seats.

This is all very particular. The seat position is related to everyone's background, their own talents, and their relationship with the eldest prince. The Romeo pretended by Xuanyuan Qingli was born in a top noble family, second only to the royal family and the Zhu family, and his own talents It was also pretty good, even though I had a so-so relationship with Davis, I got a front-row seat.

The banquet is one person per table, not everyone sitting around the Eight Immortals table.

Among the people who came, there were both men and women, and they were all young ladies from aristocratic families, and children of ordinary minor aristocrats were not eligible to participate, unless they were very talented and were appreciated by Davis and were specially invited.

In Douluo Continent, all officials are basically from nobles, because after soul masters reach the realm of soul masters and register in Wuhun Hall, they can automatically become nobles of the two empires and be officially recognized. Of course, such nobles do not have fiefs, similar to As for honorary nobles, they are incomparable to real powerful nobles with fiefdoms.

And if you can't even reach the level of Soul Master, you are not qualified to be a high official in the empire. At most, you can only serve as a local official and a small official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.

Therefore, soul masters have been ruling ordinary people in Douluo Continent from beginning to end. The distinction between classes has been solidified and deformed to an outrageous degree. Ordinary people will never be able to successfully rebel. Even if there is a change of dynasty, it will only be replaced by a group of soul masters. Another group of soul masters continue to rule the ordinary people, changing the soup without changing the medicine.

Because Xuanyuan Qingli was not gregarious, she had no intention of communicating with others. She sat there with a wolf-like look and looked around the hall as if she would not let strangers in.

His slightly cunning and cruel gaze that imitated Romeo made everyone he glanced at felt uncomfortable and frowned.

Several of the guys whose status was not much inferior to him showed angry expressions. If the situation hadn't been wrong, the conflict would have broken out long ago.
