When the door opened, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Thorian Rhys walked out with two guards.

"Young Prince?!"

When everyone saw him, they immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces.

Whether it was the general soldier of the city guard, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion, or the general Longwei, they all looked flattering.

The gentleman in front of them was a famous devil. Although he had restrained himself a little in the past two years, he still had some power.

The prince should at least talk about reason. This guy was a time bomb when he was in trouble. They had suffered a lot in the past.

"Young Prince, you finally came out. I have something important to report. Please, young prince..."

"Get out of the way!"

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion came forward with a charming smile on his face. Just when he was about to say a few words, Thorian Rhys thought he was in the way and pushed him away directly.

His frail body staggered a few times and he almost fell down.

"Grandmaster, we always pay attention to who comes first and who comes last. The young prince is always sensible, so how could he indulge your bad habits?"

General Longwei sneered, and the second one came forward.

"Young prince..."

"It's none of your business!"

General Longwei opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Thorian Rhys. The smile on his face froze directly, and he looked shocked.

What's going on?

Are you so disrespectful?

Are you in a bad mood today?

"..."

Seeing that both of them were defeated, the general soldier of the city guards flashed his eyes and did not speak very tactfully.

Otherwise, it would be somewhat embarrassing to be beaten for no reason.

"Who of you just said that you would deliver the visiting card for the Duncan family?"

Thorian Rhys walked to the crowd and stood still, and his eyes began to scan around.

As soon as this was said, the eyes of the people around him looked at Liu Qiang at the same time.

If they remembered correctly, the third-rank official in front of them was the lobbyist sent by the Duncan family.

"Gulong!"

Liu Qiang swallowed his saliva, and the whole person became more panic and uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing the aggressive posture of the young prince, could it be that he had a grudge against the Duncan family?

Then he came to the door to hand in the visiting card today, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?

It's bad! I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky today!

"Hey! I'm asking you a question? Who wants to hand in the visiting card for the Duncan family?" Thorian Rhys spoke again.

"Yes... It's your subordinate." Liu Qiang raised his hand tremblingly.

It's already come to this point, and he can't deny it.

"You look a little unfamiliar."

Thorian Rhys walked forward, looked at Liu Qiang, and said lightly: "But it doesn't matter, come in with me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the palace.

"Huh?"

Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive.

Aren't you looking for trouble?

Why did you invite him in?

Not only Liu Qiang, but other senior officials also looked at each other, confused.

What's going on?

They waited here for a long time, but they didn't even have a chance to speak. Instead, a newly arrived third-rank official was invited into the palace before them. It was simply unbelievable.

In terms of seniority, status, background, and sincerity, it shouldn't be this guy's turn, right?

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Come in, do you want me to carry you in a sedan chair?"

Seeing that Liu Qiang didn't respond, Thorian Rhys stopped at the door again and turned back to shout.

"Oh oh oh... I'm coming!"

Liu Qiang woke up as if from a dream, nodded, and ran up quickly.

Although he didn't understand, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.

As long as they can see the prince and make their intention known, they will do their best, no matter whether they succeed or not.

"Crack~Dong!"

After Liu Qiang followed Thorian Rhys in, the red gate suddenly closed again.

Everyone, including the three big guys, were blocked outside.

After a short silence, the entrance to the palace soon exploded.

"What does the young prince mean? We have been waiting here for most of the day, but he ignored us and chose a petty official to come in. Isn't this a slap in our face?"

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Although he was a civil servant, he was among the best in the whole of West Lucozia in terms of identity, status, and influence.

Even if the prince saw him, he had to treat him with courtesy.

As a result, today, after all the hard work, he was turned away.

The key point is that it doesn't matter if you get turned away. Anyway, everyone is the same, and no one feels unbalanced.

The most annoying thing is that he was turned away, but a third-rank official swaggered into the palace.

How could he accept this?

"What is the prince up to?" General Longwei frowned.

He didn't see anyone, but only saw a little-known character, which was really puzzling.

"The Duncan family... Zhengjun Duncan... is a bit interesting." The general of the city guards curled his lips.

The words of the young prince just now made him keenly grasp the key point.

It was only after hearing that the young general came to deliver the visiting card on behalf of the Duncan family that the young prince opened the door to welcome him.

In other words, the young general was able to enter the door not because of his face, but because the Duncan family had power.

The question now is, why would the West Lucozia Palace, which could not give face even to the royal family, pay attention to the Duncan family, which is thousands of miles away?

What is the trick? - Ton

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...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...

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. ...
