Chapter 236: Exploration

  Meet old acquaintances in other lands, and fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, but there are no tears, but only killing intent.

  Although as a rookie, Xu Yuan still can’t perceive the existence of surprises, but he can’t hide the eyes of someone who wants to kill himself.

   His gaze intertwined in the wind and snow.

  Xu Yuan chuckled lightly, patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder, and said:

   “Don’t be nervous, Mr. Zhou, I’m an acquaintance.”

  After speaking, Zhou Chen retracted the hand holding the sword, but still looked at the woman in the distance vigilantly.

  Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Mengxi’s voice was chilly, with a hint of disbelief:

   “Xu Changtian?”

  Xu Yuan walked slowly in front of Xu Mengxi, his long hair fluttering in the snowy night, and his smile was warm:

   “Why, you can recognize me at a glance when you haven’t seen me for two years before, but now you don’t know me after only a few months?”

  “.”

  Xu Mengxi didn’t speak anymore, staring at Xu Yuan and holding down the saber hanging from his waist.

  Although the identity of the other party has been confirmed, she can’t imagine how she could come to this dangerous city at this time with the high status of this dandy?

   Glancing at her hand holding the knife, Xu Yuan smiled:

   “What are you doing with the knife, did you kill the red-eyed? You killed the dude in Lingshui Palace, and you want to kill me too?”

   As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his chin with a smile, exposing part of his neck:

  ”If you want to, come here. Anyway, Beifeng City is now in danger of chaos. It should be easy to kill my fifth-grade condensed soul with your cultivation.”

  Xu Mengxi clenched the handle of the knife tightly, his eyes were slightly cold, but he did not move.

  Xu Yuan looked him up and down with great interest, and sneered:

  ”I thought you would kill me the same way you killed the chief dandy of the Lingshui Palace. It seems that you still know the difference.”

  There is also a gap among the top dudes.

  Xu Mengxi frowned, saying every word:

   “Xu Changtian, you are no different from that Yue Huanbin.”

   “The difference is big.”

  Xu Yuan shook his head, and said slowly: “You killed the so-called Yue Huanbin as an achievement. Afterwards, the emperor and my father will reward you, but if you kill me.”

   As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at himself:

   “You, your master, your master’s family, and your relatives and friends must all be buried with me.”

  Xu Mengxi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and clenched her knife hand even tighter:

   “What your Xiangguo Mansion did in Beifeng City is enough to kill you a thousand times according to the Law of Great Yan.”

  Xu Yuan laughed lowly when he heard this:

   “Look at what you said, the Law of Great Flame was formulated by my father and the others, as if our Xiangguo Mansion is some big villain.”

  Speaking,

  Xu Yuan smiled:

  ”After so many years, Mengxi, you have matured a lot by now. You should be very clear that if we don’t do those things, the sect will do the same. If one goes up and down, then we are Facing the sect and waiting to be killed.”

  Xu Mengxi took a deep breath, opened Xu Yuan’s hand, and exhaled a white mist in the snow:

  ”False sophistry, the same breed.”

  Xu Yuan smiled and didn’t refute. He raised his hand and patted Xu Mengxi’s shoulder, then walked past her towards the main hall:

  ”Whatever you say, the ideal world can only be found in the ideal. I appreciate you and hope you can always stick to your original aspirations.”

  After taking a few steps, Xu Yuan paused, and suddenly smiled and said:

   “Also, let me advise you again, it’s easy to break.”

  Xu Mengxi suddenly frowned when he heard this, turned around, looked at his back in the wind and snow, and creaked the handle of the knife:

   “Xu Changtian, what do you mean?”

  Xu Yuan turned his eyes back with a smile:

   “What do you mean by me? If it weren’t for this natural disaster and blizzard, based on your previous actions in Beifeng City, you would have committed suicide now.”

  “.”

  After the words fell, Xu Mengxi was quiet and paused for a few breaths. Her whole delicate body was trembling with anger, but she was speechless.

  Because, Xu Yuan is telling the truth.

  She went out of the city to seize the smuggled ordnance, but when she arrived at the location, she was ambushed by three inexplicable grand masters. If she hadn’t escaped quickly, she would be dead now.

  Xu Yuan looked at her expression and said with a smile:

   “You did a good job beheading Yue Huanbin.

  ”Although I look down on him, it is undeniable that his status is indeed very high. The only son of the elder of Lingshui Palace, if you don’t take advantage of the situation of barbarians attacking the city, there is a high probability that you will kill him Funeral.”

  Speaking,

  Xu Yuan’s eyes softened, and he said softly:

  ”Didn’t you always want to settle accounts with me? Before you are qualified to settle accounts with me, you’d better know how to protect yourself. Only when you are alive can you climb up and do more things.”

  “.”

  The words fell and there was silence.

  Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, turned and left without speaking.

  Xu Mengxi looked at his back with long hair fluttering in the snowy night, gritted his teeth and shouted:

   “Xu Changtian, what qualifications do you have to say such things here?”

  She can’t accept it.

  I can’t accept that this evil dude can say such words.

  Xu Yuan didn’t answer, didn’t look back, he waved his hand at him, and disappeared at the entrance of the conference hall, leaving Xu Mengxi alone in a daze in the wind and snow

  After entering the main meeting hall, the scene in the hall was almost the same as what Xu Yuan thought.

  The main hall was empty, and Li Zhaoyuan sat alone on the head seat, dealing with logistics and other military affairs, writing quickly with the Langhao pen at his fingertips.

  Seeing Xu Yuan coming in, Li Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows, immediately put down the pen in his hand and stood up to greet him, and said with a smile:

   “Third Young Master didn’t stay outside?”

  Xu Yuan looked at the other party’s expression:

   “The war has started, the outside is too chaotic, and the government is still safe, but how do you know that I went out with Li Yunqing?”

  Li Zhaoyuan did not hide anything, he was straightforward:

   “The imperial sister handed over the affairs of the government office to the king, so the third son and Yun Qing went out together, and the king naturally knows.”

  Xu Yuan stared at the second prince for a few breaths, and suddenly asked:

   “Second Highness, aren’t you curious about what I’m talking about with Li Yunqing?”

  Li Zhaoyuan’s sword-browed and star-eyed face showed a smile:

  ”Curiosity? Why are you curious? You are looking for a way out of the city when Jun Qing is looking for the third son. Besides, there are things that Jun Qing can discuss with the third son.”

  Speaking of which,

  Li Zhaoyuan suddenly paused, staring at Xu Yuan with a meaningful smile:

   “There should be only the ladies from Beifeng, isn’t it?”

  Xu Yuan took a deep look at the second prince and sighed:

   “You do know Li Yunqing.”

   “The third son came back alone, it seems that the negotiation should have been made.”

  While talking, the two walked towards the table in the main hall, Li Zhaoyuan shook his head sighingly: “Junqing has been like this since he was a child, always doubting that my elder brother would do anything to him something.”

   “You suppressed Xu Mengxi’s killing of the dude in Lingshui Palace?” Xu Yuan interrupted Li Zhaoyuan’s chatter abruptly.

  “.”

  The span of the topic is a bit large, but Li Zhaoyuan quickly adjusted his thoughts, nodded and said:

  ”Yes, Lingshui Palace is too presumptuous in the war in the northern border. Father and Duke Xu are very dissatisfied. They need to be taught a lesson.”

  Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled:

   “The Second Highness is so supportive, so you don’t worry about being retaliated by the northern sect afterwards?”

  When Li Zhaoyuan heard this question, he immediately frowned and became suspicious, but he quickly said:

  ”Naturally, it is routine to give her work support. After all, the order in the city still needs to be maintained by the secret investigation department.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan shook his head and didn’t say much about it.

  Sounding, watertight.

  If he didn’t know Xu Mengxi’s temperament, Xu Yuan might really believe it.

  Although I don’t know the details, there is a high probability that Xu Mengxi was shot by the second prince.

  But her character is indeed easy to be used as a gun.

  Xu Mengxi killed an important person from the northern sect, and the second prince endorsed it. It seemed to be a very simple business.

   But the problem is other people don’t see it that way.

  Because, Xu Mengxi’s identity is not simple. Behind him stands a powerful figure like the head of the secret investigation department.

  Xu Mengxi can’t help him, Xu Yuan, because his father is the prime minister who has rebelled and graduated.

  There will be no one at the top.

  But this does not mean that the head of the secret investigation department has no influence.

  In Dayan’s picture book drama, even if this kind of character can appear on the stage, he can only draw an imposing back at most.

  The second prince’s endorsement to Xu Mengxi is obviously aimed at this person.

  If Xu Mengxi kills a few more high-level disciples of the sect, the secret investigation department, the real power department, may be directly bound to the second prince’s boat.

  Thinking, Xu Yuan shook his head in his heart.

  It has nothing to do with him if he sees it through or not.

  He, Xu Yuan, does appreciate Xu Mengxi, but he will not intervene at will to sabotage the second prince’s plan just because of his appreciation.

  He slapped Li Zhaoyuan across the face, and the other party might turn his other face closer, but if this thing is broken, he might be impatient.

  After all, seizing the heir is a matter of life and death, and the princes have their own special abilities for this, and they will do everything they can.

  The hall was silent for a while,

  The second prince lowered his eyes thoughtfully, while Xu Yuan took the second prince’s place carelessly.

  “.”

  The corners of Li Zhaoyuan’s eyes twitched, but he didn’t say anything. He just stood by and looked at Xu Yuan without expressing any objection.

  Xu Yuan glanced at the other party, and very familiarly picked up a few copywritings on the desk in front of him, quickly browsed around, and suddenly smiled:

   “The second prince knows a lot.”

  Li Zhaoyuan stood aside with his usual expression, and said with a smile:

  ”It’s just a little understanding, the main reason is that the emperor trusts me.”

  Xu Yuan sat and shook his head:

   “The Second Highness is humble. It is difficult to lead troops to fight, but it is even more difficult to manage logistics supplies during wartime, especially in Beifeng City where the military command system is not unified.”

  Li Zhaoyuan sighed helplessly:

   “The third son is concise and to the point, our people cannot enter the inventory of the sect, and many things cannot be counted, these things.”

  Xu Yuan smiled, and threw a dossier to the second prince directly from the Sumeru Ring.

  Li Zhaoyuan took it, knowing it clearly, but still asked:

   “Third Young Master, this is.”

  Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

   “Lou Ji asked me to transfer it to Wu Yuan. Although it is not very accurate, it can be regarded as a rough figure. The second prince should be useful.”

  Li Zhaoyuan’s star eyes flickered for a moment, and he bowed his hands:

   “Zhao Yuan once again thank the third son.”

  Xu Yuan waved his hand and smiled at Li Zhaoyuan:

  ”Now that Beifeng City is under military control, the 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the city eat, drink, and scatter, the source crystals needed for formations in various formations, and the complicated defense equipment to fill in these things make people feel dizzy. It is big, and it can be managed in such an orderly manner within a day after taking over.”

   As he spoke, Xu Yuan pondered for a while, as if he was weighing his adjectives, and finally he grinned:

   “The Second Highness is really a talent for governing the country. I will talk to my father after returning to Beijing.”

  “.”

  When Li Zhaoyuan heard this, his complexion did not change at all, and he smiled slightly:

   “Third Young Master, you shouldn’t be the only one who said this to me, right?”

  Xu Yuan frowned, showing displeasure:

   “Hey, I only said this to you, Second Highness.”

   “Really, this is my overthinking.”

  Li Zhaoyuan was noncommittal, and cupped his hands: “Then thank you, Third Young Master, for your kind words to Mr. Xu.”

  When he said this, Li Zhaoyuan didn’t believe it at all.

  Xu Changtian and his younger brother Li Yunqing have the same personality, they are both people who open their mouths and talk about sports cars, and he is definitely not the only one who has said that.

  At the very least, this third son should have talked to that kid Li Yunqing.

  “.”

  Xu Yuan shook his head upon seeing this, and stood up slowly:

   “Second Highness, I admire you very much.”

  Li Zhaoyuan still has a businesslike smile:

   “Thanks to the third son for looking up to me.”

   “I mean it.”

  Xu Yuan’s eyes were serious, staring at Li Zhaoyuan’s embarrassing star eyes:

   “Among the many princes of today’s sages, no matter whether the prince or the sixth prince, the son is more expensive than the mother, and only you, the Second Highness, are the mother who is more expensive than the son.”

  Behind the other princes who are qualified to seize the heir are either the thousand-year-old family in the imperial capital, or the Marquis who holds military power, but these two princes are different. His mother and concubine are just ordinary people in a palace She couldn’t be any more ordinary court lady.

  Because of her stunning looks, the emperor was fortunate enough to have Li Zhaoyuan before she was conferred the title of concubine, so she could not provide any help for Li Zhaoyuan.

  There is no family relationship to talk about seizing the heir, as long as you have thoughts, others will kill you, and the mother and concubine can sink with you.

   And this Li Zhaoyuan is in this kind of predicament, step by step to the present.

  There are a lot of staff around him, and a few important officials in the court stand behind him.

   is worthy of a prince who is similar to Li Yaoxuan.

  “.”

  Li Zhaoyuan didn’t respond to this compliment immediately, and after a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice:

   “The third son is serious, the gap between me and the emperor is still too big.”

  The gap may refer to the support in the court, or it may refer to ability.

  Ambiguous, no accurate answer.

   Being too impervious to water makes it a little boring.

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart when he heard the words:

   “Facing the gap and catching up, I am optimistic about you.”

   After finishing speaking, Xu Yuan stood up and gave up his seat to the other party, patted the other party’s shoulder and turned straight into the corridor in the back hall.

  “.”

  Li Zhaoyuan stood in place and watched Xu Yuan leave his back, his eyes as calm as water.

  For a while,

  He chuckled lightly, shook his head, and murmured silently:

   “Face the gap and catch up.”

  The crown prince is loved by thousands of people. As soon as the other party was born, there was a huge intertwined interest group behind him.

  It is so huge that it is suffocating.

  Second Prime Minister, Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army, Royal Chamber of Commerce, and even that military god Wu Chenghou
