Chapter 269 Forced apology
South of Kyoto, on the official road.

Four luxurious carriages came one after another.

Chen Xian and Wang Yan were riding in the same carriage. When they opened the curtain, they could see a magnificent city located on the land. The city wall was as high as that of Fengtian City, and the city tower was fifty meters high. It was extremely majestic, showing the spirit of an imperial city.

"Is this the Imperial City?"

Lu Bai also walked out of the front carriage, stood on it, and looked at the city of Kyoto.

Tang Can and Xiahou Feng were not surprised.

Right in front of the official road, there were two wind-thunder horses parked, a young man wearing a golden dragon-python robe was sitting upright, and the other was wearing a purple eunuch costume.

The two people were the Ninth Prince Ning Chen and his little eunuch.

"Brother Xian, it's Brother Ding!" Wang Yan saw Ning Chen and couldn't help but say to Chen Xian.

Chen Xian has already discovered Ning Chen. Judging from Ning Chen's complexion, clothing, and cultivation, he should not have been bullied by other princes since returning from the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

Ning Chen also saw Chen Xian and Wang Yan and waved from afar.

After a while, the carriage arrived.

Ning Chen also noticed Lu Bai, who was in white and was leading the group, but he didn't recognize him.

Lu Bai was also looking at Ning Chen: "Prince? Which prince are you?"

Ning Chen saw that the latter recognized him as the prince and held his head high. The eunuch beside him hurriedly said, "This is His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. Who is you?"

Lu Bai looked Ning Chen up and down: "Are you the useless... Ninth Prince Ning Chen?"

"It's me!" Ning Chen nodded.

Lu Bai muttered to himself, this Ninth Prince is not useless, his Jade Pill is perfect, he is striving for the Spirit Infant Realm, and he will soon become a martial arts expert.

"My name is Lu Bai, nice to meet His Majesty the Ninth Prince!" He said with a slight bow.

"Lu Bai? Lu Bai, the Lu family's number one genius?" Ning Chen was stunned.

"These are just rumors spread by others, not worth mentioning." Lu Bai waved his hand.

Compared with his Lu family ancestor Lu Fengtian, his talent and cultivation strength are far inferior.

At this time, Chen Xian's carriage arrived, and Chen Xian and Wang Yan got off the car and saluted Ning Chen.

After all, Kyoto City is not the Demon-Suppressing Pass, and Ning Chen is the ninth prince, so his status is different and he still has to perform the necessary formalities.

Tang Can and Xiahou Feng also got out of the car and saluted to show their respect.

Ning Chen did not dare to be arrogant, so he dismounted and accepted the greetings from everyone.

"Don't be so polite!" Ning Chen was also a little at a loss.

Lu Bai smiled and said, "The Ninth Prince is so polite and courteous, I think he is worthy of friendship."

Hearing this, Ning Chen was naturally happy, but also very nervous.

If others hear this, they will misunderstand!
He glanced around nervously.

Lu Bai could see what the Ninth Prince was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness. When I say making friends, I mean making friends. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble with this will be making things difficult for me, Lu Bai."

Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Lu, Marquis Shenyong, Princess Tang, General Xiahou, please come in!"

Lu Bai said: "Let's not go to the palace, it's too restrictive. I heard there's a good Zuixianlou in Kyoto City, let's go there and have a seat."

Ning Chen nodded.

Xiahou Feng smiled and said, "Speaking of Zuixianlou, it is named after your Lu family's ancestor, Immortal Lu."

Lu Bai said: "That's why we should go and take a look."

Immediately, everyone entered the capital and headed towards Zuixian Tower.

……

Daning Palace.

In the royal study.

Ning Hong bowed and stood in front of Emperor Ning and said, "Father, when I came here just now, I ran into my ninth brother. He said he wanted to go outside the city to meet the Brave Marquis Chen Xian."

"As a prince, how can he go out of the city to welcome a marquis? This is a disgrace to our royal family. How will the people of the eight prefectures think of it? How will the civil and military officials of the court think of it? How will people all over the world think of it!"

Emperor Ning reviewed the memorials with an expressionless face. Tomorrow is his 100th birthday and he has not been idle today because the Huang tribe is in turmoil and the army has begun to invade the western border.

The Xiliang Tang army has already set out to resist the Huang tribe's army.

On the Northern Barbarian side, Ning Feng was unable to spare the time to return to Kyoto City as the barbarians were becoming more and more rampant.

In the past year, he has clashed with the Daning army five times.

The Northern Barbarians' momentum is growing stronger.

Emperor Ning was also worried about this matter and was preparing to send a powerful person in the supernatural realm to suppress it.

"Is that it?" He looked up and glanced at Ning Hong.

"Father, isn't this serious enough?"

"Are you very free recently?"

"what?"

Ning Hong was stunned for a moment.

Emperor Ning shouted coldly: "If you have nothing to do, go to the Northern Barbarians and help your second brother fight."

Ning Hong's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Father, I have been very busy recently. I have to practice, prepare birthday gifts for you, and manage a series of trivial matters in my fiefdom."

"Then you still have the heart to care about Lao Jiu?"

"Father, I just bumped into you and will tell you about this matter. After all, it concerns our royal family..."

"Shut up, the person he went to greet outside the city was not only the Marquis of Divine Bravery Chen Xian, but also Young Master Lu Bai of the Lu family. This was the first time Lu Bai came to Jingdu City to celebrate my birthday, and I asked Old Nine to greet him, which showed that my royal family respected the Lu family. Princess Shangyang and Young Master Xiahou were also there, so you think Old Nine is unworthy of greeting them, right?"

Emperor Ning scolded.

Ning Hong was slightly stunned. He then remembered that Lu Bai was with Chen Xian. He was the first son of the Lu family and the descendant of the immortal Lu.

Suddenly, jealousy flashed in his eyes.

We should stop Lao Jiu, he went to meet Lu Bai.

He actually missed such an opportunity to make friends with Lu Bai.

"Just step back if you're fine. I get angry when I see you!" Emperor Ning snorted coldly.

"My son, please retire!"

Ning Hong's face turned alternately red and white, and he bowed and walked away.

……

Zuixian Tower.

Lu Bai requested a room on the top floor. When he opened the window, he could see a large area of ​​Kyoto City, with luxurious buildings lined up one after another. "It's more magnificent than Fengtian City. That's the imperial palace, right?" He raised his hand and pointed to a place with red walls and golden glazed tiles, which was very magnificent.

Ning Chen looked over and nodded: "It's the imperial palace."

Chen Xian took a look and found that the overall appearance was similar to the imperial palace in his previous life, but the palace here was much bigger. The palace alone covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

The three-square-kilometer area of ​​the Marquis of Divine Bravery was considered too big for him, not to mention that people had to travel on horseback in this hundred-square-kilometer area.

Civil and military officials all rode horses into the palace to attend court, otherwise they would be late.

Downstairs of Zuixian Tower.

A luxurious carriage came quickly, followed by a number of armored guards, and they quickly surrounded Zuixianlou.

The guests passing by all frowned.

Looking towards the royal carriage, soon King Wu Ningquan quickly got off the carriage and walked straight to the roof.

The old shopkeeper of Zuixianlou recognized it as His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu at a glance and hurried to greet him.

"Is Master Lu Bai here?"

"Mr. Lu Bai?"

The old shopkeeper didn't know Lu Bai. He knew that the Ninth Prince Ning Chen was up there, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness Prince Wu, the Ninth Prince is on the top floor."

Ning Quan's eyes flashed: "Take me up."

A room on the top floor.

Ning Chen's personal eunuch was standing at the door. When he saw His Royal Highness Prince Wu coming upstairs, his face changed slightly and he bowed hurriedly: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Inside the room, Ning Chen and the others naturally heard the voice of the young eunuch.

Your Highness?
With a quick glance, everyone found that King Wu came into the room with his guards and the old shopkeeper.

Ning Chen hurried to open the door.

However, before he could open his mouth, the King of Wu slapped Ning Chen in the face, "Who told you to bring Master Lu Bai, Princess Shangyang, and Master Xiahou here?"

Ning Chen stood aside with his face covered.

Lu Bai frowned, and Chen Xian, Tang Can and others also frowned. This prince is so powerful!
"Who are you?" Lu Bai stared at Ning Quan with a little dissatisfaction.

Even though he had heard the young eunuch calling him "Grand Prince", he didn't care. He was just annoyed to have his mood spoiled.

Ning Quan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Lu Bai, I am Ning Quan, and I am here on the orders of my father to welcome you to the mansion."

"Ning Quan, the eldest prince?" Lu Bai looked Ning Quan up and down, snorted coldly and said, "Isn't the ninth prince Ning Chen entertaining me? Why did you hit him?"

Ning Quan glanced at Zuixianlou and said, "Mr. Lu Bai, Old Nine is ignorant. This place is not suitable for your status. Please follow me and go to my palace to entertain Mr. Lu Bai."

"hehe!"

Lu Bai sneered, "Zuixianlou, it was me who suggested coming here. I'm going to drink here today and not go anywhere else. Also, Ning Chen is my friend. If you hit him, you're hitting me. I don't care who you are. Apologize to Ning Chen immediately, or I'll beat you up now!"

Hearing this, Ning Chen, Tang Can, Xiahou Feng and others were slightly stunned.

No wonder Lu Bai can chat with Chen Xian, their personalities are really similar.

But this is indeed Lu Bai's personality.

When making friends, you don’t consider your identity; when beating people, you don’t consider their identity either.

"Apologize!"

Lu Baining didn't move, but shouted loudly.

The seventh level of Tiangang aura also exploded.

Ning Quan is at the ninth level of Tiangang, and he seems to be unable to hold on.

"Mr. Lu Bai, what are you doing..."

"Apologize, don't make me repeat it again." Lu Bai clenched his fists.

Ning Quan stared at Lu Bai for a long time, then turned and looked at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen was also a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "Brother, I was inconsiderate, I deserve to be beaten, Mr. Lu... Brother Lu, how about we forget it?"

Lu Bai snorted coldly: "It doesn't count. It's not okay for such an arrogant and overbearing person to bully others in front of me."

Ning Quan's face was extremely ugly. He didn't expect to be defeated after running over in such a hurry. He gritted his teeth secretly: "Old Nine, I was reckless. I apologize to you. I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"Brother, no, no!" Ning Chen shook his head repeatedly, a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Ning Quan is in Kyoto City and has many supporters behind him. Three of the eight prefectures support the eldest prince, namely the Sima family, the Lin family, and the Hua family.

Ning Quan glared at Ning Chen fiercely, and when he turned to look at Lu Bai, he put on a smiling face: "Mr. Lu Bai, I have apologized, how about you move to my house?"

"Don't go!"

Lu Bai waved his hand and said, "Let's drink here today. You are not welcome here. Leave now!"

Ning Quan took a deep breath and smiled, "Okay, I'll go back home first. After Master Lu Bai has eaten and drunk well, I'll come back to pick him up."

As he spoke, he looked at Princess Shangyang and Xiahou Feng again.

"Princess Shangyang, Master Xiahou, after you finish drinking, you must come to my palace and sit down."

Princess Shangyang and Xiahou Feng bowed and smiled.

Seeing this, Ning Quan turned around and left with his men.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Chen Xian.

Chen Xian didn't care about this.

Lu Bai snorted coldly: "Who is this eldest prince? Has he always been so domineering?"

Ning Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lu, it's not the eldest prince's fault that he is angry today. It was indeed my inconsiderateness."

Lu Bai waved his hands and said, "It's not your fault. I asked you to come here to drink. This guy didn't ask any questions and just started beating people. Just based on this, his character is not very good."

Ning Chen broke out in a sweat after hearing this. Perhaps only Lu Bai would dare to say such a thing.

"Chen Xian, he didn't even look at you, did he?" Lu Bai looked at Chen Xian.

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Brother Lu, given my status, I should pay my respects to the eldest prince. However, this happened suddenly and he came to take it in a hurry, so I am not polite enough."

Lu Bai shook his head and smiled: "You really know how to save face. Okay, let's continue drinking!"

Lu Bai didn't care at all about the eldest prince's interruption.

As a member of the Lu family that has been passed down for more than 3,000 years, and as the most talented young man in the Lu family today, he does not dare to be so arrogant and overbearing.

If it weren't for what his Lu family ancestor once said, the descendants of the Lu family would not be able to rule the world.

How could it be the Ning family's turn to take over this world?
