Chapter 699 Attack
The inner courtyard of the imperial court was heavily guarded. The Northern Barbarians were very martial, and the servants were all tall and mighty. Even the imperial guards were armed with swords, and the princes also carried swords when entering.The style of the inner courtyard of the Imperial Court is very different from that of the Imperial City in Kyoto. It does not have the luxury and exquisiteness of Kyoto's red walls and green tiles.The Imperial Court is built at the highest point of Fox City. It looks majestic and majestic from a distance, like a palace standing in mid-air. The palace is built of stone, wide at the bottom and pointed at the top. There is also a circular building at the top with painted exterior walls. The orange-red color is particularly bright and eye-catching in the white snow.

The top of the wall is decorated with countless gems, which reflect brilliant light in the snowflakes and sunlight. The architectural style of the imperial court in Fox City has never been seen in Yanyang, and it is quite exotic.

The snow on the road had long been swept away, and the second king brought the eldest princess, his eldest son and daughter, both of whom were children of the eldest princess. He and the eldest princess Lan were childhood sweethearts and had a very close relationship. Although they later married After seeing Shan Yu and others, Xie Jue could see that the eldest princess was the one who loved the two kings the most and was usually the most indulgent. Only the eldest princess in the palace dared to fight with the two kings when she was angry.

Xie Jue was warned by the two kings before he entered the imperial court. He didn't know why the Northern Barbarian King wanted Xie Jue to enter the imperial court, so he asked Xie Jue to look after his children and not to speak unless necessary.Generally speaking, on such occasions, the advisers in the palace would go to the banquet as a foil, and the king would not pay special attention to him. The two kings were afraid that Xie Jue would be executed in the imperial court like Xiao Jinghong.

It is impossible for him to contradict the king for Xie Jue. Xie Jue is currently the most useful counselor in his palace. The two kings have also benefited a lot from Xie Jue's assistance. He does not want anything to happen to Xie Jue for the time being, but if the Northern Barbarian King wants to kill Xie Jue, Jue, the two kings cannot protect him.

The Northern Barbarian King had more than a dozen wives and more than 20 sons. Not every son was so favored. He was the most wise and powerful king of the Northern Barbarians, but he also had the partiality that every father had.If there is no shortage of biological children, he will naturally not love every son. He has spent his whole life on conquering Yanyang, so he will love whoever can help him on the battlefield. Currently, his favorite son is the eldest prince. , the second prince and the ninth prince, followed by the middle four and six.

He has high hopes for these sons, hoping that they can lead the Northern Barbarians out of the snowy mountains. He also hopes that he can lead his people across the snowy mountains to the warm Yanyang in his lifetime.The conquest of Yanyang is engraved in the hearts of every Northern Barbarian warrior. Xie Jue has seen the Northern Barbarian King from a distance several times. He is over fifty years old, powerful, with a thick beard, covering half of his face, revealing a pair of eagle dogs. Such fierce and energetic eyes, they are a pair of king's eyes, full of ambition and desire.

Xie Jue followed the two kings and their families to salute. This was the first time he saw the Northern Barbarian King so close. Zhenbei Hou was considered taller and more heroic among the Yanyang soldiers. However, the Northern Barbarian King was a head taller than him, with a majestic body and a young and thin body. Xie Jue was like an eagle or a baby bird in front of the Northern Barbarian King. His person alone gave people a very domineering and intimidating effect, and Xie Jue could not help but feel frightened.

The Northern Barbarian King just glanced at him, frowned, and stood up. His eyes did not linger on him. Xie Jue deliberately disguised his features and did not dare to raise his head for fear of revealing his secrets, because the Northern Barbarian King was too familiar with the Marquis of Zhenbei. The men of the house.Fortunately, he didn't pay too much attention. He followed the two kings and sat on the table. He was responsible for serving the young master in the house and was inconspicuous.

The banquet of the Northern Barbarians was in the hall, and it was very warm with an earth dragon burning. There was heavy snowfall outside the door. Xie Jue thought for no reason that that night of New Year's Eve was also in this hall. The King of the Northern Barbarians lightly ordered Xiao Jinghong to be killed. Xiao Jinghong was drinking one moment, and the next moment he was taken out to be executed.

The blood dyed the white snow red, and was soon covered by snowflakes.

Silent, no one cares.

If he died in the Northern Man Fox City, there would be no news.

So Xie Jue braced himself up.

The older married princes all had separate banquets. Except for Dugu Jing, the younger princes who had never been married had five or six people crowded into one banquet.The table was full of meat dishes and wine. To his left was the Sixth Prince and his family. The Sixth Prince also brought his eldest princess to the banquet. When the Sixth Princess saw Xie Jue, she frowned in disgust, "Mr. Helian is in our house." I could only serve tea and water, but I was buried."

These words were quite sarcastic, and Xie Jue accidentally noticed that the Sixth King was gentle in temperament and would not fight for anything. If his mother and concubine had not competed with his younger brother, he would have been abandoned by the Northern Barbarian King long ago because of his frail appearance.His princess was very different from him in temperament. She was strong-tempered and always wanted to be strong.So when it comes to the Sixth Prince's Palace, everyone knows that women are strong and men are weak, and the princess is the one who makes most of the decisions in the palace. The Sixth Prince gives the impression that he is weak-tempered.

The second king was not happy when he heard this. The biggest characteristic of the northern barbarians is to protect their own shortcomings and protect their own people closely. "That's because you are blind. Such a big piece of gold is placed at your door, and you treat it like a stone. Who is to blame?" Woolen cloth?"

"I asked why my second brother was always running to our house back then. I guess I hooked up with him sometime. General Meng was killed in our house. Maybe it was the thief who shouted to catch the thief."

Lan sneered and said, "Sixth brother and sister, be careful. This matter has been decided. If you don't accept it, you can complain to your father. Don't be weird here. Mr. Helian provokes you again. When he comes to your house, you can't do anything." Beating, scolding, punishing and kneeling, you can't keep people, and blame others for robbing them, it's really interesting!"

The Sixth Prince covered his mouth and coughed, and said apologetically, "She is pregnant and her temper is a bit irritable. Don't be surprised by my second brother and sister-in-law."

The second king sneered, "Congratulations to my sixth brother on the birth of a child."

Dugu Jing glared at Xie Jue displeasedly. This scourge always caused trouble wherever he went. He caused his brother and sister-in-law to quarrel over him for no reason. What a scourge. He would have been happy to kill him that day, and he wouldn't have so many worries!
"Second brother, there is no one available in your house. How can you use this kind of trash that will fall down when the wind blows?" Dugu Jing was provocative as soon as he spoke, "You don't even dare to get on the ring, it's useless at all."

The second king also heard a little bit about that matter, and smiled and said, "There are several people in Fox City who are your opponents. You can't rely on your martial arts skills to fight with others and steal their wives and daughters when you meet them? If you like the second king, Sister-in-law, challenge me to a duel. If I lose, will I have to give up my second sister-in-law to you?"

Dugu Jing's eyes widened, and he was speechless. He only heard a bang, and the second princess slapped the second queen's descendant, "What are you talking nonsense about?"

The two kings knew they had made a mistake, so they poured wine for the princess to beg for mercy. Xie Jue was in the whirlpool of this quarrel, but he went his own way and ate like a normal person without being affected at all.

Dugu Jing got angry just looking at him, and he didn't like it no matter what he looked at.

Just as he was about to attack, General Lan came with Lan Ningzhen.
