The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 358 A ​​bustling crowd
"Marquis Anle?"

Yu Jiaolong was stunned. She took the invitation from the servant and opened it to read it.

"Marquis Anle invites the two of us to a banquet at Zuishan Tower tomorrow."

Fang Xun, who was standing by, asked Old Wu, "Marquis Anle, I remember he was from the royal family of the previous Zhou Dynasty?"

More than three hundred years ago, Daxuan Taizu inherited the legacy of the Human Emperor and quickly rose from the grassroots. When the situation became clear, all the people surrendered wherever his troops pointed.

The same was true for the Zhou royal family, which was already unable to support itself. The two sides made a PY deal over the 'Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands Formation'.

Afterwards, Daxuan established its capital in Shuntian Prefecture, and members of the royal family of Dazhou were given the title of Marquis of Anle, where they spent their days eating, drinking and having fun, and lived a very comfortable life.

Old Wu quickly replied after hearing Fang Xun's question.

“Sir, you don’t know that in the capital, when it comes to being well-informed, the first person that ordinary people think of is Marquis Anle.

The Anle Marquises of all generations were all very well-mannered and well-connected, and they would make friends with every newcomer who came to the capital."

After hearing this, Fang Xun was thoughtful for a while. Marquis Anle was a royal family member of the previous dynasty, so there were restrictions, especially in martial arts. There was not even one person in the mansion who had reached the enlightenment level.

But correspondingly, there are fewer concerns. While the ethnic groups in the mansion are eating, drinking and having fun all day long, they are also making friends everywhere and building up connections for the mansion. They are not worried that the Daxuan royal family will be wary of them.

Because they don't have the power to make people fear them, their path to martial arts is restricted. Even if they have many friends, it is useless without strength.

Only then did Old Wu speak to her.

"Your Highness, it is worth making friends with the Anle Marquisate. If you need any information, you can ask them for it."

At this time, Yu Jiaolong also nodded and closed the invitation, and said to the servant: "Go and tell the person who comes, and tell him that my husband and I will definitely attend the invitation on time tomorrow!"

I just arrived and there is a local who is willing to make friends with me. I can also ask about the market situation in the capital.

Just as the servant was about to leave the hall after receiving the order, another servant walked into the hall.

He noticed that the other party was also holding an invitation in his hand. He stopped immediately and looked at Yu Jiaolong intently, waiting for the other party to speak.

It is best to ask the host's opinion on this matter.

Otherwise, the two invitations would conflict in time, and he directly responded to the visitor from Anle Marquis' Mansion, making Yu Jiaolong in a dilemma and unable to change her mind.

Then the servant who came later respectfully presented the invitation and said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince sent someone to deliver the invitation."

Yu Jiaolong was stunned for a moment, then immediately took it and opened it. She saw that there was also a banquet in the restaurant, inviting her and the other two to attend.

Fang Xun's expression suddenly became strange: "I remember that Liu Yunyang who was killed by me was the Third Prince's man, right?

Wan Wenci came to Jiangnan and wanted to force you to marry him, and it was Liu Yunyang who arranged the matchmaking.

The feudal governor Liu Changqing had his heart set on him, which was also caused by Liu Yunyang’s painstaking lobbying.”

For a moment, Old Wu and Yu Jiaolong looked strange, and the servant who came to report the news lowered his head even deeper, not daring to interrupt.

After a while, Yu Jiaolong slowly said, "Go and tell the person who came that I have an appointment tonight and cannot spare time for other matters."

Only then did the servant leave the hall as if he had been pardoned and go to reply.

After everyone left, Old Wu asked thoughtfully, "Your Highness, are you and the Third Prince at odds?"

Yu Jiaolong nodded: "Yes, his subordinate Mr. Yang Liu jumped around in Jiangnan, which was very annoying, and finally died in the hands of my husband."

Old Wu nodded when he heard this, and suddenly said, "That's not surprising. It seems that the Third Prince wants to repair his relationship with the Prince."

This is not surprising. After all, not only Liu Yunyang, but also Wan Ziqi and Wan Wenci are dead.

It is not worth it to continue to be at odds with the Prince of Yue's Palace just for a few deaths.

Especially since the throne will be replaced in four years, it is not advisable to make too many enemies at this critical moment.

It would be better for him to repair his relationship with Yu Jiaolong as soon as possible. Even if he cannot get her to his side, he should ask the Prince of Yue's Mansion to stop interfering and helping other princes to attack him. This would be the right thing to do.

Fang Xun smiled and shook his head: "Let's wait and see. The Third Prince will probably send someone to deliver the invitation soon. If I really can't refuse, I can just go and see what his attitude is."

Yu Jiaolong nodded. She was also happy to have one less enemy.

At this moment, another servant walked into the hall with an invitation.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince sent someone to send you an invitation."

Before he could finish his words, another doorman came with an invitation. Fang Xun interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute, we'll talk about it later."

He smiled and said to Yu Jiaolong, "Zhao Ning, I never thought that I had just arrived in the capital for a little over half an hour, and already there were so many people coming to visit."

Fang Xun was not surprised by this situation. He estimated that when he and Yu Jiaolong landed at the inn, many spies went to the city to tip off the situation, letting many people in the capital know that they were coming.

I had just arrived at the mansion and hadn't even sat down when invitations came one after another.

Sure enough, while he was speaking, two more servants came into the lobby with invitations.

After the two arrived, they immediately felt the atmosphere in the hall. They didn't say a word, but just stood aside and waited.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one came, Yu Jiaolong spoke to the four servants.

"Tell me, who wants to invite me?"

"The Great Prince"

"Second Prince"

"Fifth Prince"

Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong nodded after hearing this. Although they didn't know much about the situation in the capital, this matter was nothing more than three princes who were ambitious for the throne trying to win over the Prince of Yue's Palace.

At the same time, the atmosphere at the gate was eerily quiet.

The steward sent by Anle Marquis' Mansion arrived first and now stared at the other four princes' subordinates in silence.

The four of them looked at each other, and there was a hint of tension in their eyes. If they hadn't been cautious, they would have started fighting long ago.

In addition to the five people who sent out the invitations, there were also servants and servants dressed as stewards waiting.

They were originally going to send invitations, but after seeing the four princes accept them, they did nothing and quietly waited for a reply from the palace.

If Yu Jiaolong rejected the former, they would continue to send invitations to the doorman.

However, this group of people just stood there quietly without talking or chatting.

There should have been a crowded scene as Fang Xun described, but there was only silence.

The reason for the silence of the crowd was a middle-aged man who also informed the doorman and then stood quietly waiting outside the door.

The man was tall and resolute, wearing a black and gray Six Gates official uniform. His facial features were incredibly handsome, and his whole body was nailed to the ground like a javelin.

He just stood there quietly, with a restrained aura, not showing any power to the outside world, but he made the other visitors from various families gathered outside the mansion lower their heads deeply, not daring to look at him directly.

In the lobby of the mansion, Fang Xun learned that the invitations were sent by three princes, and then turned to look at the remaining servant.

This person did not have an invitation in his hand, and his face was dazed and horrified, as if he had seen something shocking before.

"Tell me, who are you going to report to?"

After hearing Fang Xun's question, the servant came back to his senses and spoke haltingly.

"It's the iron, iron, iron of the Six Gates."

When Old Wu saw this, he frowned and shouted, "There are so many Iron Masters in the Six Gates, who is he?"

The loud shout startled the servant and he finally stopped stuttering.

"It's Master Tie Wuxin from the Six Gates. He's still waiting outside the mansion!"

"What? These bastards at the gate actually refused to let Master Tie wait outside the door?!"

Old Wu's face suddenly changed drastically, and he started yelling.

The chief constable of the Six Gates is Tie Wuxin, and he has the final say on all matters big or small within the gate.

Not only is he favored and trusted by the emperor, but he also broke through to the Zhenwu realm in January last year when the Tianli Sect was in full swing in Jiangnan!

It is already a great disrespect to let a Zhenwu strongman stand outside the door waiting.

Yu Jiaolong was also shocked, and immediately said to Fang Xun: "Husband, come with me to go out and meet Uncle Tie!"
