Chapter 222 Xia Luoran’s letter, Xia Weiyang expresses his goodwill (please subscribe, please vote!)

"Try this fish. It's brought from the North Sea. It tastes very delicious." The eldest princess said.

Put a piece of fish in Xiao Ran's bowl.

"Yes." Xiao Ran responded.

He took the chopsticks and started eating.

"What happened to Yang Pingan just now?" The eldest princess looked curious.

"This guy ate up everything at Yaohe's place and forgot about him in the blink of an eye. Qing'er was heartbroken, but he was able to coax her back to health again."

"Let me tell you, this guy has such a sweet mouth."

Xiao Ran smiled and said nothing.

Have a meal while chatting.

Eat and drink enough.

The eldest princess raised her head, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes fell on him, "Are you going back tonight?"

"No." Xiao Ran shook his head.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here with you."

Put down the tea cup.

He stood up from the chair, walked to her, picked her up from the chair, sat on the sofa, took off her shoes, took off her shoes again, and lay down on the bed.

Putting his chin on her shoulder, he smiled and said, "The moon is very round tonight, want to see it?"

"Leave purgatory?" the eldest princess asked.

"No need." Xiao Ran shook his head.

Mobilize the power of the soul, twist it with both hands, and cast a mirror spell to reflect the scenery outside.

"Is your spiritual master's cultivation so advanced?"

"Let's do it!" Xiao Ran was very modest.

A mirror transformed by the power of the soul appears in the sky.

on the screen.

A full moon hangs high in the sky, surrounded by bright stars, forming a beautiful picture between heaven and earth.

"It's so beautiful." The eldest princess sighed.

"It's indeed beautiful." Xiao Ran felt the same way.

Hug tighter.

The eldest princess snuggled in his arms, enjoying this happy time like a lazy kitten.

Suddenly.

She thought of something again and said, "There is a letter from Luo Ran."

"It has been such a long time, and it is only now that you have written back?"

"Yes." The eldest princess nodded.

From under the pillow, he took out a letter and handed it over.

"Look."

Taking the letter, he took out the letter inside and read it carefully.

The content is very short and has only two meanings.

The first meaning is that she has traveled all over Daxia, but she has not received any news about the Seven-Hearted Divine Lotus.

The second meaning.

She has entered the territory of Zhou State, hiding her name, secretly inquiring about its whereabouts.

Finally, let the eldest princess and the others not worry about her, everything is fine with her.

As for "them", they refer to the eldest princess and Xiao Ran.

Close the letter and stuff it into the envelope.

"Is she so stubborn?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Da Xia has been turned upside down by her, but she still doesn't give up. It seems that she is very obsessed. From the looks of it, she will not give up until she finds the Seven-Hearted Divine Lotus of Creation."

"I underestimated her too." The eldest princess sighed quietly.

"I thought she would come back after hitting a wall outside and give up searching for the Seven-Hearted Divine Lotus. Unexpectedly, she entered the territory of Zhou Kingdom again. It is no better than Daxia. Once her identity is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhou Kingdom We will definitely capture her at all costs."

"People will always grow up, especially after experiencing so many things. She is no longer the same as before. Whether it is the way she handles things or the world she walks in, she will always try to find the back." Holding her catkins, Xiao Ran said again .

"Don't worry too much. Believe in her. Only by experiencing ups and downs can the young eagle truly grow up."

"What a pity! I don't have much power in the Zhou Kingdom. I only have a few spies, and the information I can get is limited." The eldest princess shook her head.

"This is already very good." Xiao Ran said.

Continue to look at the full moon in the mirror.

Time passed, and soon it was early morning.

The eldest princess broke the calm, "I'm tired."

"Then rest." Xiao Ran waved his right hand.

The mirror image in the sky disappears.

At another point, the pure spiritual power rushed out and evolved into a barrier, covering the place. Viewed from the outside, the scenery inside could not be seen.

Take off your coat and lie on the bed with the eldest princess in your arms.

The eldest princess was like a docile kitten, with her legs crossed on Xiao Ran's body.

"Go to sleep!"

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

Enter sleep.

Royal Palace.

A dragon-controlling holy guard quickly entered the Pingxin Palace, stopped in front of Xia Weiyang, whispered a few words in his ear, and then retreated.

"Is there any result?" Zhu Gonggong asked openly.

Eunuch Liang has recovered from his injuries after a day of rest.

"Yeah." Xia Weiyang nodded.

"The news came from over there. Everyone was interrogated. Except for the dead lieutenant, including the warriors in the eldest prince's house, everything was normal and no useful information was obtained. As for the officers, they didn't know anything about it."

A rhetorical question.

"The film department investigated and got no information?"

"Yeah." Although Eunuch Zhu didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.

"All kinds of methods were used. Zhu Zhenguo and the deputy general's family members were tortured and interrogated. In the end, there was still no news at all."

Xia Weiyang had a cold face and tapped his index finger on the table, making a "dong dong" sound.

"We underestimated them. We didn't expect that they would do such cruel things for the sake of the crown prince. If Xiao Ran hadn't used the True Dragon Order this time and Longtai Camp arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"Will you continue to be detained?" Eunuch Zhu asked.

Xia Weiyang was silent.

The three of them looked at each other and looked at the full moon in the night sky.

Obviously it is the Reunion Festival, which is happy, festive and lively, but now it has become like this, making everyone unhappy and ruining a good festival.

A long time.

Xia Weiyang said tentatively, "You want them to go back for the festival?"

"It's already late." Eunuch Zhu added.

"It's not past midnight, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"..." Eunuch Zhu was speechless.

I thought for a while and said.

"They can be allowed to go back, but each of them has to pay a sum of money. This time nearly 30,000 soldiers were lost, and the pension is a large amount of silver. They have to pay this money."

"Can they take it out?" Xia Weiyang was suspicious.

Eunuch Zhu smiled without saying a word and drank from the tea cup.

Eunuch Liang added, "You underestimate them too much. The property left behind by the Ninth Prince after his death, as well as the Cui family's huge property, were secretly divided up by them. In addition, they secretly divided up the property. The industry, let alone this, can be easily taken out even if it is doubled again."

"What if it doubles?" Xia Weiyang asked.

"Okay."

After receiving a positive answer, Xia Weiyang made up his mind, "I didn't expect that my nephews are quite rich. In this case, let them spit out twice the wealth."

"What if someone can't afford the money?"

"They are the cause of the trouble. Even if they can't be slapped, they are also responsible. As long as one person cannot get the money and continues to imprison them, it just happens that the True Dragon Order can be used to beat them hard once." Xia Weiyang said .

"Okay." I wish both father-in-law and father-in-law have no objections.

Discussed.

Xia Weiyang needs to go there personally, otherwise the Dragon Royal Guards outside will not be able to intimidate the eldest prince and others.

Arrived at a palace.

There are three circles inside and three circles outside, fully armed with dragon-controlling holy guards everywhere, as well as dragon-blooded warriors, plus strong men hiding in the dark.

Let alone them, even if Beiming Patriarch is here, he still has to stay there.

"I've seen Lord Longtou!" Everyone saluted respectfully.

"Yes." Xia Weiyang nodded expressionlessly.

Stepping into the main hall.

The eldest prince and others were sitting on chairs. When they saw him coming, they hurriedly looked over, stood up from the chairs and saluted, "I've met the emperor!"

Xia Weiyang sat on the main seat with a cold face.

He poured a cup from the teapot and drank from the cup.

Take your time and whet their appetite.

Although the eldest prince and others were anxious, there was nothing they could do.

Not to mention Xia Weiyang's identity, his cultivation alone makes them very powerless. It is really too strong to be able to sit at the head of the Dragon Royal Guard.

I drank a cup of tea for half an hour.

Seeing that the heat was almost done, Xia Weiyang put down the teacup.

Indifferent eyes swept over them one by one.

Start beating, "You have enjoyed the best resources of the royal family since you were young, but the result? It's very disappointing! It's such a big joke. How do the officials think of you? What do the people of the world think? What if? It was then spread to the ears of the Zhou Kingdom that there was no one in the royal family of Daxia, and everyone was a drunkard. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, they were good at fighting among themselves."

The princes lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

"Tell me! What are you going to do about this matter?"

Brush!

All eyes fell on the eldest prince.

At this moment, they remembered again that the eldest prince was their good elder brother, and naturally he had to take the lead if anything happened.

"Fuck! You bunch of beasts." The eldest prince was furious and cursed.

If he hadn't been so good at nourishing qi, he would have gone berserk by this time.

"You are the boss, take the lead and set an example." Xia Weiyang named him.

This time I really can’t hide even if I want to.

Helpless.

The eldest prince had no choice but to stand up and asked tentatively, "Uncle, please give me a heads up."

"Are you sure you want this leader to remind you?"

"..." The eldest prince was extremely speechless.

My thoughts are turning and I am thinking quickly.

The father was assassinated by Hong Yi. The mastermind must be hiding among them, not him. The biggest suspects are the second and third sons. The other princes also have certain suspicions.

Judging from Xia Weiyang's current attitude, Hong Yi may not have succeeded.

Otherwise, it would not be him who came, but Zong Zheng who brought people here and took them away for torture and interrogation.

Without evidence, my father has not woken up, so he should not move around.

That's it.

There is only one thing left, the "infighting" of the Suzaku Sect.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers died, all of whom were elite soldiers from hundreds of battles. Coupled with the strong men who died, the losses this time were too great.

The pension alone is an astronomical sum.

The treasury can indeed be easily obtained, but considering the matter of the father.

They are still holding back their anger and want the court to pay for the aftermath, but there is no way.

That's all.

The eldest prince made a decision, and also guessed Xia Weiyang's purpose of coming this time. He wanted to save money and avoid disaster. As long as the money was in place, they could go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight.

If he cannot be satisfied, he will continue to be detained here until his father wakes up.

"Cough! Cough!"

He deliberately coughed twice to attract everyone's attention.

Then he spoke.

"Although this matter is Zhu Zhenguo's fault, we can't escape the relationship. Although we were concerned about the safety of our father and emperor, he was a little impulsive and was forced to protect himself, which triggered this "internal fight", but it is an indisputable fact. ."

One sentence sets the tone for this matter.

They are all innocent. All the fault is Zhu Zhenguo’s fault, and he alone bears the blame.

Anyway, people cannot be resurrected. If Zhu Zhenguo doesn’t take the blame, who will?

The conversation changed.

"What has happened has made us feel very sad. Nearly 30,000 lives have been lost. Many of them are the backbone of the family, relying on their military salary for food. I suggest that our brothers should share the money equally to appease the deceased. family members."

Xia Weiyang didn't even look at him. He poured a cup from the teapot and continued to drink.

The eldest prince felt a sudden thought, "Aren't you satisfied that the money is too little?"

"Double the pension and give it to the court, and let the court distribute it on your behalf."

Xia Weiyang still made no move and continued to drink tea.

The eldest prince’s palms hidden under his sleeves were tightly held together.

At this moment, he hated the people who secretly acted and wished to kill them all.

Not to mention the death of many people, looking at the situation in front of him, he even had to spend a large sum of money to leave here.

Take a deep breath.

Speak again.

"Twice!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Do you agree with what he said?" Xia Weiyang looked at the remaining princes.

A prince stood up and began to say, "Uncle, we theoretically support what the elder brother said, but let us spend such a large sum of money, let alone double it, even if it is not doubled, I can't even afford it. For daily living expenses, I can barely survive on my meager salary."

When someone speaks, someone else echoes.

Except for the second prince and the third prince who did not express their opinions, everyone else expressed their opinions.

The meaning is the same, no money!

Bang!

The tea cup vibrated on the table, causing the noisy hall to immediately fall silent.

"It's getting late. I'm a little tired. We'll discuss this later." Xia Weiyang said.

I stood up from the chair and walked outside.

See this.

The princes present were all anxious.

No one is a fool. If Xia Weiyang really leaves here and wants to leave here, he doesn't know when he will get it.

The prince who danced the most joyfully just now wanted to slap himself hard in the mouth.

"Uncle, please wait a moment!" Almost at the same time, everyone spoke.

Xia Weiyang stopped and said with a cold face, "You are not sleepy, but I am still sleepy."

"Can you give us some time to discuss it later?" the eldest prince suggested.

"Okay! But my time is precious and I am wasting it on such a trivial matter. Why don't you give me an explanation?"

"The pension will be increased two and a half times on the original basis." The eldest prince gritted his teeth.

"Forget it! For the sake of your being so sensible, I, as an elder, will stay a little longer." Xia Weiyang said.

A group of people entered the back.

Soon.

The quarrel in the back hall has become a pot of porridge. If it is easy to get started, there will probably be a fight.

With the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes narrowed, Xia Weiyang sneered in his heart, "If I don't ask you to vomit blood this time, when will I make you vomit blood again?"

Halfway through a cup of tea.

The eldest prince and others walked out of it, all with grim faces, resentful eyes, and no smiles at all. It seemed that they had already reached an agreement.

Stop in the main hall.

"Uncle Emperor, we have decided that the pension will be doubled and will be handed over to the treasury before dark tomorrow." The eldest prince said.

"Yeah." Xia Weiyang nodded.

"You are all very good. It is good that you can correct your mistakes when you know them. It is not terrible to make mistakes, but you must have a correct attitude when admitting your mistakes."

"The emperor taught you a lesson!"

"It's getting late. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. Let's go back early to celebrate the festival!" Xia Weiyang waved his hand.

"What about our people?"

"They have been taken to the sky prison. It will not be easy over there during the big festival. They are very busy for them. According to the head count and the level of cultivation, please pay a deposit and take the people back!" Xia Weiyang said to Xiao Ran sent a big gift.

One more thing to add.

“You cannot redeem someone individually. If you want to redeem someone, you must redeem them together.”

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for your advice!" The eldest prince handed over his hand.

Xia Weiyang left with his hands behind his back.

After he left, the princes all had gloomy faces, the harmonious atmosphere disappeared, and their swords were at war. They all snorted coldly, flicked their sleeves, left the palace, and rushed towards their own mansions.

Back to the mansion.

The eldest prince immediately called Old Man Tianji to the study.

Close the door.

The suppressed anger could no longer be held back and exploded directly.

He violently smashed the vase on the ground, tore the calligraphy and paintings into pieces, and kicked the tables and chairs to vent his anger like crazy.

Old man Tianji knew that he was holding it back, so he didn’t persuade him and just let him vent.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

The study was in a mess, and then he stopped.

"Are you feeling better?" Old Man Tianji asked.

"These beasts! They actually took this prince into account. They lost so many people and even paid a large sum of money." The eldest prince cursed loudly.

"Do you have anyone in mind?"

"The second and third sons are very likely, and it is not ruled out that they are other people."

Old man Tianji shook his head, taking things apart and analyzing them one by one, "Hongyi is an old man in the palace, and Shun'an is his confidant. He belongs to the people in the inner palace. I want to impress him, but let him spare his life." It is very difficult to find out anything. Zhu Zhenguo has no interaction with him. I have asked people to check, and there is no contact with their family members and friends. In addition, due to the special nature of the Zhuque Sect, we have always regarded him as a His Majesty’s people.”

Paused.

"But what happened last night was a slap in the face to us. He was bribed, and that's why there will be "infighting" next."

At this point, he did not continue talking.

But the eldest prince already understood. With his intelligence, how could he not guess it.

"Are you saying that it is possible that two waves of people will attack at the same time this time? The purpose of Hongyi and others is unknown for the time being. Is Zhu Zhenguo completely disrupting the situation?"

"This is very likely." Old Man Tianji said.

"Have the second child and the third child joined forces?" The eldest prince's expression changed drastically.

"No." Old Man Tianji shook his head.

"This matter is getting more and more complicated. It's so confusing that I can't even see clearly."

The eldest prince walked up and down the hall with an expressionless face.

Various countermeasures flashed through his mind one by one, but he shook his head and rejected them.

"Wait!"

"Have you decided?"

"Yes." The eldest prince looked firmly.

"The current defeat is not unexpected. As long as the crown prince has not been decided and my father is still on the throne for one day, I have not lost! During this period, do not do anything and continue to implement the previous plan. Accumulate strength secretly and win over everyone who can be won over. If they like money, give them money. If they like beautiful women, collect beautiful women and send them to them. If they want power, wait until I sit in that position and promise them wealth for the rest of their lives."

"I really saw the right person." Old Man Tianji smiled with satisfaction.

"Our people were all escorted to the sky prison and asked to bring money and a little more to redeem them. We must hurry up before dawn and let them celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Not bad! You see it clearly." Old Man Tianji became increasingly satisfied.

……

Xuanwufang, No. 18.

The second prince’s residence.

Like the eldest prince, when he first came back, he vented his anger in the study. Jiang Ming watched the whole process without trying to persuade him.

No matter who encounters this, they are very cowardly and will definitely vent their anger.

Half a sound.

He stopped, his face twisted and twisted, "They deserve to die!"

"Now is not the time to be angry. What we have to do now is to be patient! We will wait until His Majesty wakes up before making a decision. The top priority is to redeem the people imprisoned in the sky prison first, and we cannot let other people feel cold. ."

"This prince knows." The second prince said with a cold face.

"Go and do it now, redeem the person, and bring more banknotes."

"Yes." Jiang Ming nodded, stood up and left.

After he left.

Uncle Huo walked out of the darkness.

"My xinxing is still not good enough. This little thing happened and you exposed your true nature. You let me down!"

"What you taught me is that I was reckless." The second prince took a deep breath and admitted his mistake rationally.

"What's next?"

"Only when the knife is in your own hands can you solve the danger when you encounter it." The second prince said sinisterly.

"This incident made me understand that our intelligence network is still too weak."

The eyes sparkled.

"Expand the intelligence network at all costs. As long as it is a prince, even a princess, I want to know what they are doing immediately. Even if they go to the latrine and use a few pieces of paper, I must know it clearly."

"Excluding this compensation, plus daily expenses, as well as purchasing training resources and training dead soldiers, the money is not enough." Uncle Huo said.

"Ask them to lend me one billion taels of silver."

"This is a good idea." Uncle Huo smiled and nodded.

Suddenly.

There was a crisp sound of footsteps outside, and Concubine Jiang's voice came over, "Your Highness, are you still busy?"

"I'm going out first." Uncle Huo said.

It came without a trace and left without a trace, as if it disappeared out of thin air.

The door to the study room was pushed open. Looking at the mess on the floor, Concubine Jiang closed the door again.

He walked over and stopped beside him, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" The second prince gritted his teeth.

Press her shoulders, make her kneel on the ground, face her puzzled gaze, throw the belt aside, and then grab her head...

Qinglongfang.

The third prince's residence.

Compared with the anger of the boss and the second child, he is much calmer.

Nong Hua placed the brewed tea in front of him.

"Still angry?"

"No!" The third prince shook his head.

Took a sip of tea and said, "First send people to Tianlao to redeem our people, and then prepare a generous holiday gift for them so that they can have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Yes." Nong Hua stood up and made arrangements.

Soon.

She returns again.

"The arrangements have been made and they will be able to come out within half an hour."

“This time we missed a move and were taken advantage of, attracting firepower for them, and that’s why so many bad things happened later. We don’t blame anyone, just ourselves, for not thinking carefully and taking them into account. , so that a small Zhu Zhenguo disrupted all the arrangements." The third prince analyzed rationally.

"I have already checked here, and there are no useful clues at all. From this, it can be inferred that the people hiding in the dark are very clever and good at seizing opportunities. We have to be careful." The farmer's picture looked solemn.

"This prince knows." The third prince nodded.

"What a pity! Hong Yi and the others are dead. Now our power in the palace is equal to zero, and we can't get any news at the first time."

"There is nothing we can do about it." Nong Hua shook his head.

"After you left, my people also arrived and asked them to sneak into the palace. No one survived. It seems that they have all been solved."

"It's expected, but it's also unexpected." The third prince said.

"In this matter, we all underestimated someone."

"Xiao Ran?"

"Yes." The third prince nodded.

"My good aunt actually handed over the True Dragon Token to him, which is enough to prove that she values ​​him."

Looking at her.

"When will Ling'er arrive?"

Ling'er's full name is Long Ling. She is the apple of the eye of the Holy Lord of Yaochi Holy Land. She has a distinguished status, is as beautiful as a fairy, and is also her biological sister.

"There are still two days." Nong Hua said.

Looking at him.

"You won't let her get close to Xiao Ran, right?"

"Yes." The third prince did not hide anything.

"With Ling'er's intelligence, skills, and her beauty, you can play with him in the palm of your hand. As long as you capture him and let him convince his aunt, even if the father wakes up , this prince can also take a step further and be established as the prince. By then, the overall situation has been decided, and the resources of the royal family will be at my disposal."

At this point, a terrifying cold light circulated.

"Let's have a good settlement with them and let them pay back everything they owe me."

Nong Hua was silent and did not answer immediately.

The third prince seemed to have guessed her worries and took the initiative to hold her jade hand, "As long as I sit in that position, I hereby promise to establish the Yaochi Holy Land as the national religion of Daxia."

"Seriously?" Nong Hua's beautiful eyes lit up.

If it can really become the state religion of Daxia, it will enjoy the blessing of Xia's national destiny.

At that time, her Yaochi Holy Land will soar into the sky.

Overwhelming other holy places, the top powers have become the number one holy place in the Fantasy Continent.

"Yes." The third prince nodded seriously.

"Okay! After Linger comes, I will help you persuade her personally. As for whether she will agree, it is hard to say for the time being."

"She will definitely agree." The third prince was confident.

His face darkened.

"After wasting so much effort, I didn't get the Golden Dragon Azure Bowl and Dragon Blood. It seems I have to think of other ways."

"A little loss doesn't hurt! As long as we plan properly, we still have a chance to make a comeback." Nong Hua said.

Additional sentence.

"The powerful men of the Daqingshan Bull Demon Clan seem to be here and will arrive in the capital in the near future."

"What are they here for?"

"This matter involves a secret from the past, and few people know about it." Nong Hua said.

"The current emperor of the Bull Demon Clan has a younger brother called the Bull Demon King. He failed to compete for the position of clan leader and should have been executed. Later, their mother begged for mercy and the Bull Demon Emperor released him and he lived among the hundreds of tribes. Over there with the Alliance."

"What then?" the third prince asked again.

"Judging from the information they secretly investigated, the Bull Demon King died at the hands of someone from the Xia Kingdom. This person is still in the capital. He should be here for revenge this time. As for who it is, I am still trying to find out who it is."

"You want to take advantage of them?" The third prince frowned.

"Yeah." Nong Hua didn't hide anything.

"Don't rush to take action. You can continue to inquire about the news. We can wait until Ling'er arrives." The third prince said.

"Okay." Nong Hua responded.
