On the second day of the winter moon, the birthday of the King of Wu.

The King of Wu was the oldest among the seven vassal kings. For many years, the Yuesan, which governed Jiangnan, was well organized and had a high prestige in the court. The vassal kings and Chang'an city all sent envoys to celebrate their birthdays. The closest King of Yu and the King of Wei also sent their children and nephews from their families to come here in person.

Due to floods in recent months, there are many refugees inside and outside the city who are unable to eat. In order to appease the people's hearts, the birthday banquet did not make the whole city decorated with lights, but just worshiped the banquet at the Prince of Wu on the shore of West Lake.

Just afternoon, the wide street outside Yuhuang Mountain was full of carriages and sedan chairs, and walked into the horse-drawn monument.

Yuhuang Mountain is located between West Lake and Qiantang River. It looks like a giant dragon lying across the distance. When the wind and clouds rise, you can see that the lake and mountains are vast and the rivers are vast. The scenery is so beautiful that it is far superior to the sea of ​​artificial flowers in the Suzhou desert.

Xu Buling got off the carriage and saw this grand palace, he couldn't help but sigh that the gap between them was too big.

In formal occasions, Mrs. Lu is just the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family and cannot represent the Lu family in Jinling, so she walked behind with Xiao Ting.

Xu Buling followed Xiao Qi and did not set up the ceremonial guards of the prince. However, his reputation has been too great recently. When many officials and gentry saw the handsome young man beside Xiao Qi, they knew who was coming. They stopped by the road and raised their hands to salute:

"See Prince Su, Miss Xiao, it's been a long time since I saw you!"

Today, most of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan have come. Even Xue Chengzhi sent his son to carry gifts. However, the Jianghu people have a low status in front of the princes and princes, and they can't find where they walk in the corners.

Xu Buling didn't know the heads of these families, but most of these people have a long history of the family than the Xu family, which was only in the 60s. Many of the books they may have read were written by the ancestors of these people. They should not be too arrogant, but just nodded with a smile.

Xiao Qi has been walking around Jiangnan all year round, and is quite familiar with talking with representatives of many aristocratic families. She has a high attitude but does not make the other party disgusted and has an impeccable demeanor.

Outside the Zhuqi gate, the second son of the King of Wu, Song Yulou, received guests. Seeing Xu Buling arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand and bowed:

"Brother Xu, Miss Xiao, you two are here to celebrate your birthday to your father. You have never left the city to greet you in person. You have treated you badly. Please come in quickly..."

Song Yulou is not old, about 17 or 18 years old, but his words are gentle and elegant, he has already shown some stability.

Xu Buling had never seen Song Yulou, but heard Xiao Qi talk about the descendants of the King of Wu, the eldest son was extremely intelligent when he was young and loved by the King of Wu. Unfortunately, the ship sank during a tour of Jiangnan, and the young prince died prematurely. The second son of the King of Wu, who is now the prince of Wu, is still studying in Chang'an City. He and Xu Buling are classmates and know each other, and they are idle all day long and have no talent.

However, at the feet of the emperor, even Xu Buling had to hide his weakness and pretend to be a pig. The other princes of the vassal princes were naturally similar, and it was not sure whether the prince of the Wu prince was hiding his weakness.

Song Yulou is the third son of the King of Wu. Although he is not famous, he is still the second heir to the throne. He has a transcendent status and there is no problem with Xu Buling to be brothers.

Xu Buling's expression was easy-going, and he greeted him politely, and then took Xiao Qi into the huge palace of Jade Emperor Mountain.

There were many guests in the palace, and the pavilions of Langtai were filled with famous families from all over the country. Xu Buling even saw a few officials from the capital who had seen in the Tai Chi Hall. The gap in identity was too big, and it was difficult for the other party to come and say hello, but nodded from afar and bowed.

Before the birthday party officially began, as soon as Xiao Ting entered the palace, he ran to chat with the princes and nobles he knew. Xu Buling and Xiao Qi came to a living room near the main hall to drink tea and wait. Except for the maid who started pouring tea, there was no disturbance from outsiders.

Xiao Qi sat quietly on the chair, frowned slightly, obviously thinking about things.

Mrs. Lu looked at the people coming and going outside the window, as if looking for an acquaintance she had met when she was a child.

Xu Buling sat between the two of them, thought for a while, turned his head to look at Xiao Qi: "Is that Song Yulou just now very much valued by the King of Wu?"

Xiao Qi was smart and actually was thinking about this. She guessed that the King of Wu would not rebel. First, it was difficult to accomplish without soldiers. Second, it was that the prince of Wu was still in the capital. The so-called "protagon" was used to restrict the vassal kings. The King of Wu could not even ignore his own son.

But after seeing Song Yulou just now, Xiao Qi felt that compared to power, a son was nothing, and she was not just a single seedling like King Su. She had a son in the capital without a third son. As long as she was able to make up her mind, she could just treat the proton in Chang'an as non-existent.

However, even so, the unstoppable soldiers under the King of Wu were flawed. If you want to start from Jiangnan and fight to Chang'an, you must push the King of Wei, King Yu, King Chu, and the Iron Cavalry of Guanzhong. Even King Su does not have the ability to fight overseas. King Wu can't fight overseas and dominate Japan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi shook her head and said softly: "The King of Wu attaches great importance to several children. It is difficult to see anything based on this alone. Don't speculate, first see what the King of Wu is looking for."

Xu Buling nodded slightly and said no more.

Waiting quietly in the living room, the palace became more and more lively, and the sky gradually became darker, and the calm West Lake outside the mountain could be seen from afar.

Xu Buling was watching the beautiful scenery of West Lake in vain. When he saw a servant flashing from the corridor, he turned around and saw no trace.

Xu Buling felt familiar, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I'll go out and have a look." Then he got up and left the living room.

There were crowds of people outside the main hall of the royal palace, and the gentry and officials gathered in the garden to call each other brothers, and maids and servants walked through to entertain guests.

Xu Buling walked through the corridor in a low-key manner and came to the royal palace garden. He stood in a viewing pavilion and looked like he was enjoying the night view of West Lake. In a moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind, and a small servant carrying a tea tray walked past behind him.

Xu Buling Yu Guang glanced at him. The servant looked dark and looked very ordinary. However, he had met this man in Fu Bao's grandfather's village. He was called "Erhei" by Fu Bao, and should be Mei Qusheng's junior brother.

Xu Buling was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Grandpa Fu Bao was so hard that he could even get in the palace.

Erhei walked past Xu Buling with a tea tray, slowed down slightly, and said softly:

"Master asked me to bring you a sentence - the king's power is granted by God, and the wisdom is chaotic to the Central Plains. You can understand yourself and make your own ideas, but if you don't understand, you will be honest and return to Suzhou."

???

Xu Buling frowned slightly and thought carefully about the eight words "The king's power is granted by God, and the wisdom is chaotic to the Central Plains". He was a little puzzled and turned around:

"He can't speak human language?"

Erhei snorted slightly, took the tea tray and left.

Very arrogant.

Xu Buling spread his hands openly, and he really doesn't like this kind of riddle-like message. Just like the previous sentence "It's hard to achieve enlightenment against the will of heaven, and it's time to turn into a real dragon." He said directly that he could just follow Song Ji's path, so why are you quizzing in the clouds and fog?

The power of the king is granted divinely, and wisdom is chaotic to the Central Plains...

The monarchy must be the throne, what the hell is the divine gift... the wisdom turmoil of the Central Plains...

Xu Buling thought about it carefully for a moment, and the only thing that could be confirmed was that Grandpa Fu Bao saw clues and knew that someone wanted to disrupt the Central Plains, and it was likely that it was King Wu, but the method and how it was used was not pointed out.
