Starfall

Chapter 89 Gathering in the Sleepless City

Sorry, I have something to do today. I'm in a hurry

A few days ago, the Night King's Palace was still a cloud. The palace people looked sad, and now it is peaceful and decorated with joy and tranquility. It's all because the eldest prince Ye Yuanhong, who has been missing for many days, has returned! Therefore, the lord specially invited all the nobles, imperial ministers, and even the royal family of Mengyang to attend the celebration banquet for the eldest prince.

After all, General Zhentian is now the most powerful person in Mengyang. The people who want to see him every day are enough to line up outside the Night King's Palace. Now many people are scrambling to attend this banquet. And General Zhentian is the greatest meritorious minister in Mengyang's war with Chi Nasi, and the high-ranking royal family should also give himself the most important minister face! In this way, many people can not only visit the general, but also have the opportunity to meet the legendary young emperor. Many people can't wait to fly to the Night King's Palace.

Ye Yuanhong looked at the busy preparations for the banquet, but he didn't feel happy at all. He didn't want to hold such a banquet, but his father was so happy that his eldest son recovered, which made him happier than the emperor's nine tin gifts. Ye Yuanhong couldn't caress his father's heart and could only let it be. But that sense of guilt became stronger and stronger. He suddenly felt that he was dirty and dirty, and he would rather continue to lie quietly and rot in the battlefield of Yining City!

The muscles in the corners of his eyes are ** - the scout team is still following him secretly, not to protect himself, but to protect others! If he falls into that scarlet illusion to attack others again, the scouts will kill him mercilessly!

The sense of guilt has increased!

Is this what it feels like to be a person in two generations? He has died once in people's hearts, and now he has been reborn once, completely destroying the image in people's hearts before? In the past, he was the leader of the young generation of the Ye family and the most powerful young disciple. He followed his father to learn the skills of fighting and the way to arrange troops. At the age of 15, he could immediately fight over an ordinary warrior. Some people even said that he was another leading general in 50 years after his father! He is the pride of the clan!

But what about now? These people hide from him like a plague god! The bright light in his eyes that seems to look at unknown things is more conical than the sharp arrows of Chi Na Siren! Are you so unbearable?

"Prince, please make way! It's going to be carpeted here..." A palace man whispered!

Ye Yuanhong suddenly came to his senses, looked at him, smiled and said, "Oh, okay!" With that, he stepped back a few steps and made way! Then he stared at the palace man, as if waiting for him to say something.

The palace man bowed to thank him, lowered his head, and dodged Ye Yuanhong's eyes. He hurried over and didn't say a word!

The smile on Ye Yuanhong's face slowly disappeared, like a flower that withered quickly, leaving only full of loneliness. His dark eyes dimmed, and the sadness of the weak water made his bleak figure a little bleak. He knew this palace man. Every time he saw himself, he would say excitedly, "Hey, the eldest prince has grown taller again!" When can I teach slaves to ride horses? The unique thing about this palace man's greeting is the sound of "hey", which is extremely loud, like the sound of a war horse drinking full of water! Every time he answers with a smile, "When you talk, that 'hey' is not so like a horse's nose, and I will teach you how to ride a horse!" Otherwise, the war horse will turn you down from your back and stamp your hooves fiercely!"

At this time, everyone else will laugh. The palace man was not annoyed, so he scratched his head and smiled, muttering, 'The eldest prince is joking with me again'.

But now this palace man doesn't even want to say hello to himself like a war horse? Just dodged his eyes and hurried to do his own thing, his eyes full of fear! Looking around, the busy palace people in the palace bowed their heads, and it seemed that no one noticed that there was still a noble prince standing here! And there was no one five meters away from Ye Yuanhong, as if he would die on the spot as soon as he entered this range! Hundreds of busy palace people did not speak, and they were all busy with their own affairs. It was terrible! Only Ye Yuanhong stood in the center at a loss, with blank eyes and sadness.

Really, if he comes back to life, he prefers to continue to be a corpse and quietly decay with those brave warriors in Yining City.

He moved away and wanted to leave here. This place is not incompatible with each other, and it's better to leave. But his legs seemed to be very heavy, like filling them with lead and leaving step by step. When the palace people saw him coming, they avoided it one after another, with a silent look on their faces. Suddenly, he felt very wronged. He really didn't know what had happened, but why did these people do this to themselves?

Suddenly, he finally couldn't help shouting out. The desolate voice seemed to break through the throat, full of helplessness, sadness, grievances, and hatred. The palace people around them trembled one after another, stopped their work, and looked at him like a monster. The fear in their eyes was beyond resurr. When his roar gradually weakened, his extraordinary ear power caught some subtle sounds - it was the creaking of the crossbow when it was winding! The dark scout is ready to kill him at any time!

He can't stay here anymore. He can only walk. He turned his head and strode far away, not wanting to talk to anyone anymore! The remaining palace people exchanged frightened eyes with each other and whispered, "The eldest prince is sick again?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's a disease there. This is a demon leaning over... I heard that the little prince was almost strangled by the eldest prince a few days ago!" Another palace man covered his mouth and said.

"So that's it...!" Others echoed one after another. They looked at Ye Yuanhong's fading figure, and their hanging heart finally relieved. They breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had sent away a fierce plague god.

Night.

The capital city of the night country is called the city that doesn't sleep, and its grandness lies in this 'nightless city'! Although the architecture of the Nightless City is not as magnificent as the ethereal city of the imperial capital, the decorated lights are colorful and fantastic. Every night, hundreds of thousands of lanterns in the city are lit, and even the stars in the night sky can't be seen clearly. And the lights of the Night King's Palace are even more colorful, and the whole palace is like a night pearl embedded in the vast land of Mengyang.

Some ordinary ministers and nobles who were invited to attend the celebration banquet of Ye Yuanhong, the son of General Zhentian, also arrived, and the luxuriously dressed ministers held their faces with sincere or flattering smiles and fists to congratulate the night home of the palace! After all, General Zhentian doesn't care about their identity at all, and inviting them to come is just a form, so as not to leave the reputation of General Zhentian. Only the imperial ministers and the supreme royal family are really worthy of being personally entertained by the general.

In fact, another reason why the general invited these people here with great fanfare is that the two brothers Ye Yuanhong and Ye Xingchen can get in touch with this kind of appearance and feel the political atmosphere. After all, the two brothers will take over this right from him to make others jealous and take charge of Mengyang's strongest army. The plan in the general's mind is to let Ye Xingchen be the leader of the night kingdom and let Ye Yuanhong inherit the position of general. After all, Yuanhong is more suitable for leading troops to fight, and Xingchen's personality may not be suitable for the strict discipline of the military.

But Xingchen is a magician! Every time the general thought of the mysterious red magician who destroyed the three shield walls on the battlefield of Yining City, he was shocked. The power of the magician is simply a demon that violates the world view. The general has no doubt that the magician can destroy a 10,000-strong army! At that time, let Yuanhong be the general of Zhentian and let the magician Xingchen play a deterrent role. At least the royal family will not easily take action against the night country.

Moreover, in case the war really begins, the general still expects the night stars to fight against the mysterious scarlet man!

It's not a bad thing to let the two brothers come into contact with the officialdom now! Since you were born in a noble family, you must have the courage and awareness to face all this. This is what the general is thinking now! His eyes are as long-term as ever. Especially after knowing that things in Mengyang and even on the mainland are secretly manipulated as a chessboard, this idea of prevention is becoming more and more obvious. After all, he is just a mortal and will eventually grow old, and the only thing he can rely on in the end is Xingchen.

In the glorious palace, the general laughed indifferently, and a plain robe set off his most dazzling stars. And beside him stood the slightly haggard Ye Yuanhong, who only felt that his smile was very reluctant, and there was no such a festive feeling that this banquet was held for him. The whole person seems to be incompatible with such a qualification.

The general greeted the ministers and nobles of the imperial capital in gorgeous clothes. These are all ministers who have been officials in the imperial capital for many years and have been living in the imperial capital. Naturally, they are also particularly tactful and difficult to do. He introduced him to Ye Yuanhong one by one to let him know him.

"This is the finance minister of the imperial capital, and the whole gold of Mengyang will be passed from his hand!" The general said cheerfully and guided him to the hall!

The big-bellied finance minister arched his hand and said with a smile on his face, "General Shenwei, I'm just a miser. Where can I fight with the general to wave the power of Fang Yu's army? Thank God that they didn't call me an 'iron rooster'!" He spoke very casually, but the listener felt relieved. This is the basic skill of fooling around for officials - being able to speak! Then he turned his head and looked at Ye Yuanhong, his eyes were round, and he said, "The tiger father has no dog son. The eldest prince has general bones at a young age. In the future, the world will still rely on you young people to dominate!"

Ye Yuanhong just smiled and nodded slightly - he really didn't like this kind of socializing.

"This is the new minister of Sili, and the ceremony of Emperor Lin Xi's accession to the throne was presided over by this minister!" The general greeted a graceful middle-aged man and said, "Come on, meet Uncle Li!" With that, he led Ye Yuanhong to people.
