After Chen Ying and the other Piercing Guards ‘arrangements, this naturally formed basin within the two thousand mile radius of the Endless Mountain Range had officially become the place for the Chen Clan to break through.
Since he planned to spend nearly a year to build this place, Chen Yang would not just use it once for Deshun Commandery Prince.
The Chen family also needed to hide their strength. Therefore, there was a need to build a place for them to break through in seclusion.
“I’ll leave this place to you. 1’11 go back first.”
After looking around the basin, Chen Yang gave Chen Ying a few instructions before leaving on the Underworld Dragon.
The moon rose and set. In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
At this time, it was already nearing the end of the first year of Qi Yuan.
Yang Chen was also busy preparing for the annual ancestral worship and family banquet.
Just as Yang Chen was busy, Zhou Yingzhao found Yang Chen.
In the reception hall, after the servant served hot tea, Yang Chen smiled and asked,””Brother Ying Zhao, it’s almost the end of the year. Why aren’t you preparing for the annual party in the wang fu?”
Zhou Yingzhao glanced at Yang Chen.” I don’t know who suggested to my grandfather that 1 should take his place to face the external disputes.”
“Now, I’ve also become a popular person. All the kings want to invite me to attend the annual meeting. Even the king’s family banquet wants to invite me.”
Yang Chen automatically ignored the previous words and said with a conflicted look,””This is a difficult matter. It’s inappropriate to go anywhere.”
“How about this, 1’11 help you plan and see how you can not offend any of them.”
“No need.”
Zhou Yingzhao muttered these two words before smiling,”After the king invited me, the other kings withdrew their invitations.”
“In other words, 1 only need to go to the king’s family banquet now.”
“This is a good thing. At least we don’t have to worry about it.””Then why did the young prince come to me?” Yang Chen laughed.”
“Naturally, 1 want you to accompany me to the king’s family banquet.”Zhou Yingzhao said leisurely.
“Puff!”
Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but spit out the tea in his mouth and said in disbelief,””Young prince, you’re not joking, are you?”
“How can 1 attend the king’s family banquet?”
“You are the only disciple of my grandfather’s Commandery Prince, so why are you not qualified to attend the King’s family banquet?”Zhou Yingzhao asked.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Yang Chen picked up his teacup again and took another sip. Then, he said,””What I mean is, you can go to this family banquet by yourself. Why do you have to drag me along?”
“1 didn’t want to drag you along. It was the king who specifically invited you to attend the family banquet.”Zhou Yingzhao said.
“The king specifically asked me to go?” Yang Chen frowned and asked,””Why does Your Majesty want me to go over? Even if it’s to win over Master, you don’t have to look for me. Can’t you just look for you directly?”
“Then how would 1 know why His Majesty invited you? But don’t worry, Little Uncle-Master, you won’t go in vain. The King will definitely reward you with something.”Zhou Yingzhao laughed.
Yang Chen remained silent.
Why did the royal family invite me? Could it be that it was just to gain some initiative in front of his master?
Or is it that the king values me for something and wants me to serve him?
But if that’s the case, what do I have that only the king can recruit me to the family banquet?
I have two reputations in the outside world. One is talent, and the other is resourcefulness. This talent definitely couldn’t do anything, so only wisdom was left.
Using intelligence to do things, could it be that he was investigating something? Or is there something you need my help with?
All of a sudden, many possibilities appeared in Yang Chen’s mind. All of them led to the same conclusion, which was that the King needed his help.
There were benefits to be gained from helping the king.
Although Yang Chen didn’t know how difficult this task was, he knew that the harder it was, the more the King would reward him.
The king of a dynasty would never be stingy.
“Young Prince, when will the banquet begin and how long will it last?” Yang Chen asked.”
“The banquet will begin in seven days. We will arrive at the palace on the same day. As for the duration of the banquet, it will last for seven days.”Zhou Yingzhao said.
Seven days.
Yang Chen calculated carefully and found that it would not delay the family’s business. He immediately nodded.” Alright, let’s go together.””
Seeing Yang Chen agree, Zhou Yingzhao heaved a sigh of relief. He then stood up and smiled,””Alright, I’ll come back to you in three days. We’ll go to the palace together then.”
“Yes, alright.”
In the next three days, Yang Chen was thinking about all kinds of possibilities for King to find him and how to solve it.
However, after thinking about it, it would only add to his troubles. In the end, Yang Chen decided that no matter what King wanted to find him for, he would naturally find out when the time came.
Three days later, at the northern gate of Chen City.
After giving Chen Xuan some instructions, Chen Yang and Zhou Ying Zhao flew to the capital together.
As Chen Yang and Wang Ling were representing the Deshun Prince’s Mansion to attend the King’s family banquet, they didn’t call themselves subdued beasts. Instead, they sat in the flying carriage of the Deshun Prince’s Mansion.
Sitting in the carriage and looking down at the scenery below, the two of them flew toward the capital at a moderate pace.
Four days later, on the day of the King’s family banquet, the two of them successfully landed in the palace.
As soon as they landed, Yang Chen saw a group of royal disciples standing in place to welcome them.
Yang Chen had seen these royal disciples before. During the celebration party, they had all toasted him.
“Brother Ying Zhao, you’re finally here.”
After the two of them alighted from the carriage, Zhou Yingmiao came up to them with a smile, as if she had not seen them for a long time.
When Zhou Yingzhao heard this, he looked excited.” Brother Yingmiao, I missed you so much.””
“Since you miss me, you have to stay in the palace for a while. Why are you saying this here? The banquet has already been arranged. Brother Ying Zhao, Chen Clan Head, please follow me.”
Immediately, under Zhou Yingmiao’s lead, the group entered the main hall where the family banquet was held, the Hall of Talents.
As soon as Yang Chen sat down, a person dressed in the uniform of a personal attendant came to Yang Chen’s side and whispered,””Lord Chen, His Majesty has invited you over.”
Hearing this, Yang Chen quickly stood up and said a few words to Zhou Ying Zhao before following the attendant into the side hall.
As for the royal family’s grandsons, they looked at Chen Yang in surprise, wondering why the king was looking for Chen Yang.
In the side hall, Zhou Tianke, the king of Da Qian, sat on the main seat with a smile.
After Chen Yang came in, he cupped his hands and bowed to Zhou Tianke.” I, Chen Yang, the head of the Chen family of an Eight-rank Aristocratic Family, pay my respects to my king.” 1 wish my king a long life and a prosperous military career.”
“Patriarch Chen, there’s no need to be so polite. Please sit down.”
Zhou Tianke gestured for the attendant to help Chen Yang up, then pointed to the side seat.
Seeing this, Yang Chen sat down and looked at Zhou Tianke, waiting for him to continue..
