Get on the carriage, go out, drive onto the main road in the west city, and stop at the agreed place.

After waiting for a while, the Zhang family’s carriage arrived as expected. Zhang Su opened the curtain and smiled at Jia Lian: “I’m sorry to have you wait so long, brother Lian.”

"Brother Su, you are so polite. I have just arrived. Shall we leave now?"

"Wait a minute, I have an appointment with someone."

Jia Lian nodded. While waiting for others, Jia Lian and Zhang Su spoke across the carriage and asked casually: "How long have the second brother and the fourth prince known each other?"

"Since I completed my career, He was appointed by the Holy Spirit to be His Highness's companion, and it has been almost three years now."

When Jia Lian heard this, he thought to himself that it would be beneficial to be able to study. For example, he wanted to compare with Zhang Su. In fact, the Jia family's family status was higher than that of the Zhang family. Moreover, Zhang Su was only the second grandson of the Zhang family, but he had already been involved with the princes and relatives.

And he, so far, probably doesn’t even recognize a prince, let alone have any friendship with him.

This time, the fourth prince took advantage of his vacation to hold a poetry reception in his new residence and invited Zhang Su.

Due to Jia Lian’s intentional friendship during this period, Zhang Su’s relationship with Jia Lian quickly heated up. The saying that long separation is better than newlyweds is similar to men. When they were children, the two of them peed together and peeked into other people's homes. Now that they have reunited after many years, they are closer than ordinary cousins.

So Zhang Su invited Jia Lian to accompany him to the Fourth Prince's Mansion today, but Jia Lian did not refuse.

After talking for a while, as expected, another carriage drove up from the east end of the street, also lightly dressed.

As soon as he got close, a tall young man in a green robe jumped down quickly.

He took two steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm sorry, I'll keep you two waiting."

Zhang Su smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to Brother Lian. This is the son of Shenwu General Feng Laojiang. His twin names are Ziying and Ziying. I wonder if Brother Lian recognizes him?"

Jia Lian looked at Feng Ziying who was smiling at him on the ground, nodded and said: "I I must have met brother Feng several times, but we rarely interact with each other."

At this time, Feng Ziying also bowed her hand to Jia Lian, "I didn't expect to see Brother Lian here, Ziying is polite. ”

When Zhang Su saw that they knew each other, he didn’t say much, let Feng Ziying get in the car, and then ordered them to set off.

Zhang Su often went in and out of the Imperial City, so all the gatekeepers in the Imperial City recognized him, so they were let through without questioning them.

The imperial city is much quieter than the city., especially in the winter, there are almost no people on the road. Only occasionally a few carriages passing by will make some noise, and everything will soon become quiet.

Before arriving at the recently built mansion of the fourth prince, it was much more lively than elsewhere.

As you approach the gate, you can feel the restless atmosphere inside.

Jia Lian and the other three got out of the car one after another, and prepared simple congratulations. They were registering on the side when they suddenly saw a large carriage speeding up and stopping suddenly in front of the mansion gate. Behind it, followed a large group of servants.

A young man in rich robes was helped out of the carriage, and he cursed: "Damn it, it's getting colder and colder!"

Then he turned around and gave instructions. : "Please bring out my Black General quickly... Huh, he has been hiding for so long. Today I want to see how he can hide and what he can use to deal with my Black General."
< br /> As he finished speaking, two followers were seen respectfully carrying a cage out of the carriage. Through the gorgeous mesh, one could clearly see that inside was a majestic and high-spirited rooster. It's just that most of the black hair on its body has fallen off, revealing its dark chicken body, which looks very funny.

The young man didn’t think that when he saw the black chicken, it was like seeing his own wife. He quickly took it, held it in his arms, covered it with his sleeves and walked forward, as if he was afraid of "love" "My wife" was blown by a bit of cold wind.

It’s not like Jia Lian has never seen the behavior of cockfighters, but he still can’t help but laugh a little at this moment.

Zhang Su actually thought it was funny, but he recognized the young man, so he secretly pulled Jia Lian to ask him to pay attention.

Jia Lian just felt funny in his heart and could not help but smile a little on his face. He did not make any mocking move or make any discordant sound.

However, the young man still seemed to feel the way Jia Lian and the others looked at monkeys, so he glanced at the three of them. When he saw that they were not royal children, he sneered: "Country bumpkins!"

When Jia Lian heard this, he felt even more funny. He felt that he had seen this scene before, and definitely more than once.

Fortunately, the story did not go as he imagined. The young man did not mean to cause trouble for them. He just snorted coldly and walked in with his beloved wife in his arms.

Only then did Zhang Su show the same smile as Jia Lian, and introduced: "He is Prince Duan, a first-rate gangster in the royal family, and our fourth prince... well, there is quite a bit of grudges and entanglements. ."

Both Jia Lian and Feng Ziying expressed their understanding. There is indeed a class of people in the world who do not need to speak. As long as they show up, except for their names, all other information will be exposed to others. This personPrince Duan is obviously like this.

Zhang Su was relatively familiar with the Fourth Prince's Mansion, so he took Jia Lian and his wife deeper into the palace without the guidance of his servants.

During this period, Jia Lian also reviewed the newly built Prince's Mansion. To be honest, in addition to being brand new, some walls and columns and beams were carved with dragons and phoenixes. In fact, the layout and splendor were inferior to those of Rongguo Mansion. All slightly inferior. Moreover, visual inspection shows that the entire Prince's Mansion occupies a much smaller area than Rongguo Mansion.

I don’t know whether it was because the emperor’s funds allocated to the fourth princes to build their mansions were not enough, or because the land in the imperial city was too scarce.

Based on this comparison, wouldn’t the Ningrong Mansion be suspected of violating regulations? Fortunately, it was created by the emperor's order, otherwise this crime would be enough to kill the Jia family.

After a while, we arrived at the martial arts arena, which was already a bit overcrowded.

Around the martial arts stage, in addition to the neat and bright swords, guns, swords and halberds placed on all sides, there are some tables, chairs and benches placed in other free spaces in an orderly manner. The tables are covered with wine and food.

On the high platform, a magnificent and thrilling battle has begun.

The protagonists are two chickens.

Jia Lian, the fighting cock above, didn’t care at all. He was observing the people present.

As expected, princes, grandsons, and princes all live in different circles. Most of the people in them are unknown to him. Most of them are the princes, grandsons, and relatives of the emperor. As for Zhang Su, many people knew him, and people kept greeting him along the way.

The three of them found a relatively empty place to sit down, and then they saw that the battle above had come to an end. After all, the black chicken was unstoppable and pecked the opponent until he died.

Prince Duan’s proud laughter could not be suppressed and spread in all directions.

I saw a young man with a dark face suddenly jump on the stage, and a few black feet kicked towards the arrogant and arrogant black rooster. It was so surprised that it screamed "coo-coo" and ran away. Never stop.

"Wei Ling, are you still shameless?!" Crown Prince Duan was extremely angry and hurriedly ran up to protect his beloved wife.

The fourth prince, who had already been kicked and was in a much better mood, saw that the opportunity had been lost, so he stopped taking action and just put his hands on his hips and cursed: "You are so proud of yourself. If it weren't for me, General Shenwei was killed by my father. You are nothing but a nigger. You are just a defeated general!

That’s all. I have recently changed my hobby and fallen in love with cricket fighting. If you Only if you can beat me in a cricket fight will I be convinced of you."

Prince Duan sneered: "You are still like that, you will be tough when you lose. Who knew you were going to fight a cricket fight today? How can I fight you without one?"

"Crickets are easy to handle, in my yardThere are a lot of them in the grass outside. Go pick them out quickly. By the light of my new mansion, you might be able to pick out one of the bravest ones. Don't worry, I won't charge you any money then. "

"Huh, do you think I'm a fool? "

The two people quarreled in front of dozens of young men, but everyone was used to it and just treated it like watching a show. Until a rather majestic young voice came from under the eaves of the front corridor: " Okay, we are both children of the royal family. How can you two be arguing on the stage? Come down and leave the competition stage to everyone. ”

Upon hearing this voice, even Crown Prince Duan, whose nostrils were pointing upwards, quickly turned around, bowed, and then looked at each other with disbelief and jumped off the stage.
