1043: C1043 The Tavern

C1043 The Tavern

Within Holy Flame Royal City, in a secluded tavern.

An old man and a young man were seated.

The young man was sipping his tea. Usually, he would sit in this tavern for an entire day.

He was listening to a woman in white playing a zither in the bamboo forest opposite him.

"There's not much time left. Young Master, why aren't you making your move?"

The old man looked at the sky.

He looked at the table again. The calendar on the table indicated the time. The previous days had been crossed off. There was less than half a year left.

He had to conclude this matter. However, his Young Master was still drinking and listening to music all day long.

"It's the exciting part, shh."

The young man waved his hand, indicating for the old man to keep quiet.

The elder was also extremely helpless. He could only obediently sit in this seat. However, it was clear that the elder was sitting here as if he was sitting on needles.

When he finally heard that the song was over, the old man opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the young man with some anticipation.

"Young Master?"

"It's getting late today. Let's go to sleep first."

The young man suddenly yawned and stretched. It was obvious that he was not going to do anything at this time.

"Young Master, you..."

When the old man saw this, he immediately revealed an expression that had been like this for a long time.

"Young Master, with your current state, how are you going to fight for the position of Crown Prince?"

"I'm going to sleep."

The youth immediately laid down on the ground and began to sleep.

The next day.

The youth directly got up again and continued with the whole day's work.

He simply wanted to waste his time here.

The old man himself simply could not bear to watch any longer. But today, after the youth woke up, he dressed himself up properly.

The old man also looked at him. His young master had been sitting in this tavern for a year. Moreover, he had concealed his identity. No one knew who he was or what he wanted to do.

However, in this tavern, he drank and listened to music.

Today, he finally made a move. Instantly, the old man felt as if he was dreaming. Could he really be dreaming?

"Old Liu, what are you waiting for? Prepare the horse."

Old Liu was stunned for a moment. When he heard the young man's words, his face immediately revealed a look of surprise.

"It's here!"

Immediately, a white carriage came from the tavern and headed towards a certain place in the city.

"Young Master, which family should we talk about first?"

"Bailu Residence."

Old Liu was driving the carriage. When he heard the name, he was stunned for a moment. Although he looked old and weak, everything was handled by him.

He had even made a plan. As long as they followed this order and gradually destroyed the forces created by the princes, they could easily become one of the most prominent forces.

Many people would not think of such a thunderous battle method, but no matter what, they would not be able to do so.

The first one should not be here to deal with Lee Zongjiu.

Everyone knew Lee Zongjiu's current strength, and because of Lee Zongjiu's actions, Holy Flame Emperor was also supporting Lee Zongjiu from behind. At this time, it was obvious that he did not have to face Lee Zongjiu head on.

"Young master, what do you mean by this? Didn't we agree to capture the elite disciples of Merchant Union first and then the four great families? If we go and find Lee Zongjiu directly, the situation won't be good."

Old Liu tried his best to persuade him.

"Who said I'm going to beat them up? Go and ask them."

The young man said with a smile. His age didn't seem much different from Lee Zongjiu's.

Old Liu didn't understand why the young master did this. If he revealed his strength in advance, it would be very dangerous for him.

It was obviously risky to provoke Lee Zongjiu at this time. However, the young man seemed to have understood this point long ago.

He didn't know what the young master of the Zi family was planning. Old Liu could only drive the carriage to the Bailu Residence obediently.

"Butler Zhao, Fourteenth Prince is here."

Liu Pei came over and said.

"Fourteenth Prince..."

A trace of surprise flashed across Zhao's eyes.

Holy Flame Emperor was going to announce the candidate for the crown prince position in half a year's time. At this juncture, those who should make a move would have to take action. If someone wanted to make the final effort, it would be at this moment.

The outcome of the battle would be decided at this moment.

There were only fourteen princes in the entire Holy Flame Dynasty. At least, there were so many of them at the moment. Would another one suddenly appear in the future? That's not so clear.

Although Fourteenth Prince was the youngest, he was also the most mysterious among all the princes.

Lee Zongjiu had told Lee Zongjiu to find Fourteenth Prince's whereabouts.

Although in Zhao's opinion, Fourteenth Prince did not have the ability to fight amongst the princes, Zhao did not dare to underestimate Lee Zongjiu's words.

The other party had only come to visit as a guest and did not reveal his true identity, but these people in Bailu Manor already knew about it.

This was not strange. When they found out that Fourteenth Prince was still in the city, Zhao had specially sent a group of people to observe Fourteenth Prince.

"Quick, welcome him."

Regardless of whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, they needed to welcome Fourteenth Prince in. Although they had imprisoned Ninth Prince before, they still needed to bring him in. However, that was all done by Lee Zongjiu. If they were in his place, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"Go and tell the young master that I will personally receive Fourteenth Prince."

Zhao said. Liu Pei nodded and said.0

"Okay!"

Liu Pei jogged all the way to the courtyard where Lee Zongjiu was resting.

He saw Lee Zongjiu sitting under a wutong tree, meditating. Although he did not know what Lee Zongjiu was doing, Liu Pei did not dare to go up and ask.

"What's wrong?"

Lee Zongjiu opened his eyes and saw Liu Pei who seemed to be constipated there. If he wanted to poop, he would go to the outhouse and wander around in front of his door.

"Young master, Fourteenth Prince is here."

Liu Pei saw Lee Zongjiu's reaction and quickly said.

Although it was a secret that the prince had come to visit, he was still a prince after all.

"Let him wait. I'm cultivating."

Lee Zongjiu said calmly.

At the moment, he was comprehending the Spirit Hell.

He was sitting under the Wutong tree.

After that, Liu Pei could clearly see that the Wutong tree behind Lee Zongjiu had started to undergo changes that only happened every four seasons of the year. It seemed to have been compressed into a short minute in this one year's time.

It was fully displayed on the Wutong Tree.

It was also an extremely shocking sight.

"Oh my god."

Liu Pei's eyes widened when he saw this scene. As for what Lee Zongjiu said, he could only tell the truth.

This was something that could not be helped.

When he returned to the living room, he saw Fourteenth Prince chatting with Butler Zhao.

"Housekeeper Zhao has contributed greatly to Bailu Residence today."

After talking for a while, Fourteenth Prince was full of praise for Zhao. From her tone, one could tell that this was heartfelt admiration and not unintentional flattery.
