Chapter 375: The Shangguan Clan’s Fighting Arena
In Luanfeng Palace, Nan Yuwan took off Nalan Ze's coat.
Nalan Ze sat on the bed and said, "Queen, did you notice just now that the Princess Pingshan's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Zi Yan's."
The Queen frowned and said, "I didn't see it. It was so far away that I couldn't see clearly."
Nalan Ze smiled and said, "Your eyesight is not as good as mine."
He continued, "When Princess Pingshan walked into the hall, I seemed to see Zi Yan. But when I looked closely, I found that they only had similar eyebrows and eyes, and they were not very similar in other places."
The queen rubbed his head and said, "I think you may be dazzled. You miss Zi Yan too much."
Nalan Ze smiled and said, "The older I get, the more I miss you. My memories of the past are clearer."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Go to bed early. We have to arrange for someone to entertain the Yuan Dynasty delegation tomorrow morning. Don't let people think that our dynasty is stingy and doesn't know etiquette."
The Queen said, "I would like to recommend someone to His Majesty."
"Who do you want to recommend?"
"Xu'er!"
When they arrived at the post station, Ye Tang, Ye Qianbai and Xiao Jingxuan gathered together to chat about things in the palace when no one was around.
Xiao Jingxuan told Ye Qianbai about the situation in the palace and who was at the palace banquet. Then, he quietly watched Ye Qianbai's reaction.
Ye Qianbai looked very calm.
Ye Tang said: "Granduncle, among the people we are talking about, is there your master? If you don't want to talk, you don't have to say anything, just nod or shake your head."
The assassins have their own principles and cannot reveal their master's identity and secrets. Since they can't tell them, then they can use the process of elimination, right?
Ye Qianbai nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan were stunned. Ye Tang said, "So, your master is not from the Miao family or the Yu family, but is among the civil and military officials?"
Ye Qianbai shook his head.
Ye Tang asked again: "Is that among the royal family?"
Ye Qianbai nodded.
Ye Tang's eyes lit up: "Is it the Emperor of Penglai?"
Ye Qianbai shook his head.
"Could it be one of the princes?"
Ye Qianbai nodded.
......
After eliminating the impossible people, Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan finally decided on a target, which was the Second Prince Nalan Chen.
The Emperor of Penglai is devoted and loyal. He has only one empress in his harem, who is the elder sister of the patriarch of the Nan clan. The couple has five sons and three daughters. The eldest son is named the crown prince and is the candidate for the heir to the throne, but he is the sickest among all the princes.
Although Nalan Chen is the second son, he is the most capable among all the princes. He is good at both literature and martial arts. No matter fighting on land or at sea, he can handle anything.
In terms of strength alone, he is much stronger than the crown prince. Unfortunately, the throne is only passed on to the eldest son, and it can only be his turn after the crown prince dies.
Ye Tang narrowed his eyes and said, "We have to investigate this Nalan Chen carefully."
She did not meet anyone from the major families at today's welcoming banquet. She would get to know these families when she has time, especially the Miao and Shangguan families.
Are there really many people in the Shangguan clan who possess divine powers?
How strong are they?
Ye Tang was quite curious about this.
The next morning, just as Ye Tang and his wife got up, they heard the guard come to report that Nalan Xu had arrived.
The two went to see Nalan Xu, who said, "Your Highness, on the orders of the Emperor, has come to entertain the Prince of Pingshan and the Princess of Pingshan. I will take you to visit the Imperial City and let you know the local customs and practices here."
His attitude was quite friendly, but Jamel Xiao didn't like it.
"Then I'll have to trouble His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor. My husband and I just want to go out for a walk."
I can just get some information out of this kid.
Two carriages were driving slowly on the street. Ye Tang and the maid were in one carriage, while Xiao Jingxuan and Nalan Xu were in another carriage. They were drinking and chatting happily in the carriage.
"I have heard that there are many strange people and things in Penglai Kingdom, but looking around, everything seems ordinary. Could it be that those legends are false?" Xiao Jingxuan laughed and patted Nalan Xu's shoulder.
Nalan Xu was a little dizzy: "What fake, that's all true. As for other things, let's talk about talents. Our dynasty has far more talents than your Yuan Dynasty. We have miracle doctors, miracle generals, craftsmen gods, poison saints and all kinds of talents."
"Are there any strong people?"
"Yes! There are several of them in the Shangguan clan. Hehe, Brother Jingxuan, this is your first time in Penglai, so you probably don't know those big families yet. Let me tell you, those big families are very powerful, especially the Shangguan clan, which is the one I admire the most. The people in their clan are as strong as bulls..."
The affairs of those big families are no secret in Penglai Country. You can find out the situation of those big families by just asking.
Nalan Xu casually talked about some unimportant things about several big families, such as what abilities those big families had, what talents they had produced, and where they were scattered.
Although what he said was not very detailed, it allowed Ye Tang and the others to understand a lot.
The streets of the imperial city are extremely spacious, lined with shops selling everything.
The carriage stopped at the door of a restaurant.
This big restaurant has three floors. There is a fighting arena on the first floor, and the owner behind it is the Shangguan clan.
Nalan Xu came out of the carriage, the wind blowing in his face sobered him up a lot.
"Brother Jingxuan, let's go. I'll take you to watch a fight. This is my favorite place."
As he spoke, he turned to Ye Tang who had gotten off another carriage and said, "Fighting is rude. If Princess Pingshan doesn't want to watch, you can have something delicious in the private room. The seafood in this restaurant is very good."
Ye Tang smiled and said, "It's just a fight. I've seen it before. I'll go with you."
Seeing this, Nalan Xu said nothing and walked away arm in arm with Xiao Jingxuan.
Yesterday he was infatuated with Ye Tang’s beauty, but now he felt that Jamel Xiao was much more interesting than the beauty and was a man who knew how to have fun.
The three men came to the arena with their followers.
The fighting arena was extremely spacious, and the stands were filled with people. In the center, there was a large ring, and the people guarding the ring were from the Shangguan clan.
"The Shangguan clan loves war, and Penglai is peaceful. There have been no internal or external troubles in the past ten years. The Shangguan clan has no wars to fight, and fighting is prohibited in the imperial city. Out of boredom, the Shangguan clan set up fighting arenas everywhere and let the clan members guard the arenas. This allows them to exercise and release their energy at the same time."
"No malicious killing is allowed in the fighting arena. Anyone can come on stage to challenge the champion."
Seeing Nalan Xu's excitement, Xiao Jingxuan asked a soul-searching question: "Have you ever challenged him?"
Nalan Xu was about the same age as him, and was quite handsome. He was very serious when he was silent, but changed his tone when he spoke. He also had a rather erratic personality and did not seem like a proper grandson of the emperor.
Nalan Xu paused for a moment and said, "No, no, no, I am a noble man, how could I fight with others?"
Ye Tang pursed her lips and smiled, saying no, then there must be, and he lost the fight.
The person defending the ring at the moment is Shangguan Qiang from the Shangguan clan. He is a direct descendant of the Shangguan clan and one of the twenty most powerful gods in the Shangguan clan.
Yes, the Shangguan clan now has twenty people with awakened divine powers.
