After chatting for a while in the meeting room, Thorian invited Zhengjun Duncan to start visiting the West Lucozia Palace.

The palace is very large and has all kinds of facilities. It is easy for unfamiliar people to get lost.


Zhengjun Duncan thought he was knowledgeable, but when he actually visited the West Lucozia Palace, he was still shocked.


Unlike the splendor of the nouveau riche, the West Lucozia Palace can only be described as magnificent and magnificent.


Wherever you look, it reveals a majestic meaning.


What shocked Zhengjun Duncan the most was that a Hall of Heroes was built in the West Lucozia Palace.


The Hall of Heroes has nine floors and looks like an ancient tower from the outside.


Inside are the tablets of martyrs who died on the battlefield, thousands of them, densely packed.


Each of these heroic martyrs has a monument, and their life stories are clearly engraved on it for future generations to admire.


Although the Duncan family also has a genealogy that records some glorious figures, it is not as good as the Hall of Heroes in the West Lucozia Palace.


No wonder the West Lucozia Iron Cavalry is the best in the world, it turns out that the roots are here.


After walking around the palace for most of the time, it was already dusk without knowing it.


Thorian specially prepared a dinner and invited Zhengjun Duncan to join.


Although the two were 30 years apart, they had a good chat.


Zhengjun Duncan also deeply realized that Thorian, the rumored devil, was not a real playboy.


On the contrary, the other party was a genius with insight and knowledge, both civil and military.


So much so that in many aspects, even he, an old-fashioned man, was ashamed of himself.


Sure enough, there was no one in the Rhys family who was easy to deal with.


When Zhengjun Duncan and Thorian were drinking and talking happily in the palace, there was another scene outside the palace.


The big guys were still waiting anxiously at the door, hesitating.


After several reports, there was no response at all.


However, they obviously had no intention of giving up. No one was willing to leave first, fearing that they would miss the opportunity and be beaten to it by others.


"Grandmaster, the sun is about to set, and you are still waiting here? Can you handle it?"


The general soldier of the city guard looked at the setting sun, and then looked at the pale and sweaty Grandmaster of Tianzhang Pavilion, and couldn't help but tease him.


He and General Longwei were both from military backgrounds and were physically strong, so it was okay for them to wait in the sun.


But the Grandmaster of Tianzhang Pavilion was different. He was used to being pampered on weekdays. When had he ever suffered such a punishment?


"Hmph! I know how my body is, and you don't need to worry about it, Grandmaster General!" The Grandmaster of Tianzhang Pavilion wiped his sweat and replied unhappily.


There were two lackeys behind him, who got two leaves from somewhere and kept fanning him to show their filial piety.


"I was thinking, if we keep waiting like this, there will be no result, why not find a place to rest for a while and eat something? After all, people are made of iron and steel, and only when they are full and full can they have the strength to wait." The general soldier of the city guard said with a smile.


"This..."


The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion touched his rumbling stomach and seemed quite moved.


He had not eaten a grain of rice from morning to dusk, and his stomach had long been starving. Now he was relying purely on willpower to support himself.


It would have been better if he hadn't said it. Once he said it, his stomach growled even louder.


"General, what do you say?"


The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion did not answer directly, but cast his eyes on General Longwei.


The three of them had the same goal. If he and the general soldier of the city guard were to be preempted by General Longwei while they were resting, it would be bad.


"Looking at the situation today, the door will not be opened again. It's okay to have a few drinks together." General Longwei glanced at the closed door and finally nodded.


After the initial impatience, he calmed down at this moment.


He owed the second prince a favor, so he came back today to visit and try to find out some information.


After waiting here for a day, his attitude was shown. No matter what, the second prince would have an explanation.


"Okay! Since the general has spoken, I will accompany you to drink a few cups today!" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion smiled.


At this point, everyone understood it tacitly.


"You two, please come in. I'll host you tonight. Let's drink together." The general soldier of the city guard led with one hand.


"Then I won't be polite!"


"Please!"


"......"


Surrounded by a group of younger brothers, the three walked side by side and left the palace together.


The three did not go too far, but found a good restaurant nearby.


The window of a private room in the restaurant was facing the gate of West Lucozia Palace, and they were only about 200 meters apart.


The three of them ate and drank while observing the movements at the gate of the palace.


Any disturbance would not escape their eyes.


The other two were very satisfied with the arrangement made by the city guard commander.


If they had known there was such a good place, they would not have waited in the sun at the gate.


Just as they were drinking and talking happily, a spy suddenly walked into the private room and whispered a few words to the city guard commander.


After listening, the city guard commander's face changed immediately.


The other two also smelled something unusual when they saw it.


"General, what happened?" Tianzhang Pavilion University Scholar asked tentatively.


"You two, the situation is not good."


The city guard commander put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said gloomily: "According to the internal information just received, a foreign guest has already got there first!"


As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned. - Marinien

Interception

Li Guanglong’s fingers gently stroked the ornate box, the chill of its silken surface seeping into his fingertips, yet it could not mask the damp sweat pooling in his palm. He glanced at Murong Xue, who was locked in a drinking contest with Batu. Murong was tilting back his head, draining a large bowl of amber-colored liquor. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and in the corner of his eye he cast a fleeting glance toward the copper kettle in the corner of the igloo. That was where they had hidden the prepared knockout drug --- brewed from a poisonous herb of the icefields that gave off a sweet aroma. Once mixed into strong liquor, it was nearly impossible to detect. “Leader Batu truly has a mighty capacity for drink!” Murong Xue slammed his empty bowl down on the table, sending ice shards scattering. “This ‘ice-burn’ liquor cuts like a blade. Ordinary men collapse after three bowls, yet you remain unshaken. Truly worthy of being called the eagle of the snowfields!” Batu r...

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...

The Sea Monster Beneath

Margaret stood before a mountain of nautical charts, her fingertips gliding gently over the yellowed parchment. The cinnabar-red routes drawn on them looked like congealed trails of blood, glowing eerily under the flickering candlelight. When Dustin pushed open the door, he saw her tucking a thick stack of leather-bound ledgers into a rosewood chest. Glimpses of titles like Fresh Water Reserves and Ration Allocations showed her meticulous planning for the upcoming voyage. “Any news from the fishermen?” Dustin asked. Margaret looked up, her eyes reflecting the deepening twilight outside the window. “Su Lan just got back from the harbor. Found an old fisherman with the surname Qin.” “He claims he saw a mirage near the Blackwater Trench three years ago. Said there were floating pavilions and jade towers among the clouds, and at the front stood a stone tablet carved with the word ‘Penglai.’” She paused, tapping her fingers on the desk. “But the old man said the vision lasted ...
