Now that they already know the true identity of this Tang Yun, no matter how shocked Old Man Cao and Cao Ke are, they still have to make a big salute, standing in front of them, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the entire empire will be the generation of kings in charge of the country in the future, no matter how prominent the status of the Cao family is, it is impossible to match others.

Therefore, after a short period of shock, Old Man Cao and Cao Ke both hurriedly stood up and came to Tang Yun's approach, and they were about to make a great salute.

Seeing that Old Man Cao's ancestors and grandchildren were about to kneel, Tang Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed them one by one, and said softly at the same time: "Grandpa Cao, my visit to Wanghai City this time is a secret, it's better not to make a noise, if you all kneel in front of me, it will definitely attract the attention of others, in my opinion, this meeting etiquette will be exempted first." ”

When Old Man Cao heard this, he was relieved, and he didn't continue to insist, but stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please: "In that case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will please take a seat." ”

Tang Yun nodded with a smile, took a step, came to Cao Hong's original seat, and slowly sat down.

Old Man Cao waited for Tang Yun to sit down, and he sat on Tang Yun's left hand, Cao Hong sat on Tang Yun's right hand, and his right side was Cao Ke's seat.

Although the stands are very large, how could the movements of the Cao family, the Bai family, the Liu family, and even those other forces that have always been in the stands not be seen? Just now, the city lord Cao Hong personally bowed down to Tang Yunxing.

For a while, Tang Yun became the focus of attention of everyone in the stands, and everyone felt extremely curious about the true identity of this handsome son.

As the focus of everyone's attention, Tang Yun seemed very calm, as the prince of a country, he had naturally seen more big scenes, and at the moment, this kind of battle was just pediatrics, and it couldn't put even a little pressure on him at all.

"I don't know what happened when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Wanghai City?" Cao Hong is the lord of Wanghai City, the prince is coming, he is obliged to ask, if Tang Yun needs anything, he has to fully cooperate, so not long after everyone sat still, Cao Hong asked respectfully at Tang Yun.

Tang Yun pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Actually, I appeared in Wanghai City this time, it was just passing by, it coincided with the triennial big competition, and I was curious, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect that this look also made me discover a genius who practiced martial arts!"

Being seen so ambiguously by a big man, Cao Ke couldn't help but blush: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised it falsely, I, Cao Ke, am just an ordinary cultivator." ”

Tang Yun laughed: "Why should Cao Sanshao be modest, seeing that you are young, you should be less than twenty years old, right? How can a person who can reach level twenty or above cultivation at this age be just an ordinary cultivator?"

Cao Ke waved his hand noncommittally and did not say anything.

Cao Hong, who was on the side, asked tentatively: "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed by my Wanghai City this time, do you want to spend a few days?" If this is the case, the minister will go and prepare a place for you in advance. ”

Tang Yun shook his head: "Cao Aiqing doesn't need to bother, before noon today, I will leave Wanghai City, and I won't spend the night here, it's a big matter, but I can't afford to delay for a while." ”

Old Man Cao was stunned when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I know that those of us who are courtiers should not inquire about some things without authorization, but since you have come to our Wanghai City, we Wanghai City should fulfill our responsibilities, you have something important to do, we dare not stop it, but if you have any needs, you must tell us, we will do our best to meet them." For you, what you have to do is a big deal, but for me, your safety is a big deal! Right now, you are so alone, we really can't rest assured!"

Looking at Old Man Cao's face, Tang Yun smiled slightly: "Grandpa Cao's concern for me, I remember it in my heart! Actually, I didn't come alone, when I set off, my father personally sent four white-armored guards to protect me, at this time, they were all waiting for me under the stands, so for my safety, Grandpa Cao didn't have to worry about it at all." ”

"Bai Jiawei?" Old Man Cao and Cao Hong, when they heard the three words Bai Jiawei, were suddenly shocked and looked a little surprised. Old Man Cao nodded even more affirmatively: "Since there are white armor guards protecting you, there should be no problem......

After a pause, Tang Yun turned his head and asked Cao Hong, "City Lord Cao, actually, I really have some questions I want to ask you. ”

"Your Highness, it doesn't hurt to ask, the minister will know everything, and the words are endless!" Cao Hong responded.

Tang Yun sighed and continued, "I wonder if City Lord Cao has some understanding of the Sea Clan living in the Endless Sea?"

"Sea Clan?" Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "As far as the minister knows, this Sea Clan is a group living in the Endless Sea, they are good at swimming, and they are with the sea for life, and their territory seems to be between an archipelago more than a hundred nautical miles away from the coast of our Wanghai City...... If I'm not mistaken, it was the year before last that the Sea Clan had officially attached itself to my Tongtian Empire and become a vassal state of ours. ”

"That's right. Tang Yun said: "I came out this time, and the purpose is also on this sea clan. ”

Old Man Cao asked suspiciously, "But what is the disobedience of the Sea Clan, do you want to be detrimental to our Tongtian Empire?"

Tang Yun waved his hand: "It's not ...... In fact, my main task on this trip to the Sea Clan is to act as an intermediary and mediate the dispute between them and the Sunset Kingdom. ”

"Sunset Kingdom?" Cao Ke heard this, and suddenly became a little bigger. What sea clan, what sunset kingdom, before, Cao Ke had never heard of it at all, all of this, now all of them are in front of him, where can Cao Ke digest it for a while?

It stands to reason that Cao Ke doesn't know this, and there is nothing to make a fuss about, after all, Cao Ke himself is not from this world.

The Sunset Kingdom is an island country adjacent to the Tongtian Empire, and like the Sea Clan, it is also a vassal state of the Tongtian Empire, and it pays taxes and tribute to the Tongtian Empire every year.

This Sunset Kingdom is not a loose organization composed of some small tribes, they have their own emperor, their own court, and their own neatly organized army, in other words, although the Sunset Kingdom is small, it is also a country! This is completely different from the Sea Clan.

The territory of the Sea Clan is composed of countless small islands, large and small, almost every small island is a small tribe, and each tribe has its own chieftain, so to speak, the entire Sea Clan is just a relatively loose federation.

Although the Sea Clan will elect a big chief every five years to lead the entire Sea Clan, this big chief is just a decoration many times, and his orders, most of the tribes, are in a good mood, listen to it, and ignore it when they are in a bad mood.

It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of outsiders, the Sea Tribesmen are always scattered and independent. Their leadership system has also caused an extremely uneven development within the Sea Clan.

For these, Cao Hong and Old Man Cao are naturally more clear. After listening to Tang Yun's words, Cao Hong asked in surprise: "As far as your subordinates know, the Sea Clan and the Sunset Kingdom have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and even among the people, there are many trade exchanges between the two sides, why did the two of them fight? Besides, whether it is the Sea Clan or the Sunset Kingdom, it should be the closest to me looking at Hai City, how can I not get any news when the two sides fight, and I, the city lord, have not received any news?"

Tang Yun frowned: "What did Cao Aiqing say? They are fighting on both sides, you don't know? How is this possible? The envoy of the Hai Clan who asked my father for help, how could he reach our capital without passing through your Wanghai City? Besides, the war between the two sides is such a big event, and the careful work of the Wanghai City faction outside will not come back without any news......

Speaking of this, Old Man Cao, Cao Hong, and His Royal Highness Tang Yun, the crown prince, all felt a trace of unease, and a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts, and the whole thing didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"No, His Royal Highness the Prince, according to what the minister has seen, it is better for you to go to the Sea Clan this time and bring some elite troops!" Cao Hong said with concern in his eyes: "There are too many factors that we can't be sure of, and Wechen must not let you take risks...... Otherwise, Wei Chen will personally accompany you on a trip to see what the hell is going on with the Sea Clan and the Sunset Kingdom?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince. Old Man Cao also echoed: "Hong'er is right, judging from the information we have now, this is definitely not simple! If you still go to the Sea Clan, you should really bring some troops, so that you can be prepared!"

Tang Yun nodded: "Okay, after we say this, it seems that I have no bottom in my heart, since this is the case, Cao Aiqing will order some people and follow me to the Sea Clan." ”

"No!" Cao Hong saw Tang Yun agree, and his heart was immediately relieved. You must know that if there is really any hidden truth here, Tang Yun's trip this time will definitely not be able to survive. If Tang Yun really had an accident, he, the Wanghai City Lord who was closest to the place where the incident occurred, wouldn't be better off.

At this moment, Tang Yun agreed to his request to lead troops to follow, which greatly improved security, and even if something happened, there was room to turn around.

Since the matter had been decided, Cao Hong did not delay any longer, and after bidding farewell to Tang Yun, he left first and prepared the army. Only Old Man Cao was left alone, and he continued to chat quietly with Tang Yun.

At this time, Cao Ke was a little inexplicable, he really couldn't understand what Tang Yun, eldest brother, and grandfather were talking about, Cao Ke, who didn't know anything about the information, of course he couldn't figure out the cause and effect here, but he generally realized that there seemed to be two forces going to fight, Tang Yun went to mediate, and his eldest brother was not at ease, so he followed to protect Tang Yun.

Therefore, after waiting for Cao Hong to leave, and after Old Man Cao and Tang Yun spoke in a further lower voice, the bored Cao Ke simply stopped paying attention to them and refocused his attention on the ring, after all, Dabi was the most important thing for him at the moment.
