Chapter 191: Prince John
The carriage carried the people through the city of Thea, and after about half an hour they arrived at the gate of the palace. A magnificent and large-scale palace appeared in front of everyone, and the carriage slowed down towards the palace, and the guards guarding the city gate saw that it was Lord Resor's carriage and let it pass directly.
The interior of the palace was a different story, with a vast area and a labyrinth of roads crisscrossing the city, with heavily armed guards patrolling back and forth from time to time. What he saw and heard along the way was orderly, the country was rich and the people were strong, Yi Qingfeng couldn't help but admire: "Lord Lei Suor, it seems that your Jinsha clan is living a good life now, I have seen all the way that the people are living a rich life, laughing and laughing, and the soldiers in the city are also well-trained and energetic, presumably Prince John must be a sage." ”
Lei Suo'er smiled: "Yi Shaoxia is really observant, our clansmen in Xiya City can be said to have a good life under the governance of Prince John, but this is only a small fief in the territory of our Jinsha clan, our clansmen have developed a large territory after hundreds of years of arduous exploration, and most of the territory is under the rule of the patriarch Kairi, and the clansmen there do not have such a rich life." ”
As he spoke, the carriage slowly stopped, and Lei Sol stepped out of the carriageway: "Everyone, our prince's dormitory has arrived, and a few of you are waiting here, I will go in and report it." As he spoke, he walked briskly towards the main hall.
After waiting for about a pillar of incense, suddenly a guard guarding outside the door hurriedly came over and said, "Several adults, please in the prince's palace." As he spoke, he led everyone towards the main hall, Yi Qingfeng and the others walked forward on the road paved with gold and stone, and the brilliant streamers flashed as far as the eye could see, and everyone couldn't help but admire again.
In the blink of an eye, everyone entered the inner hall, only to see a man who looked the same as a human being on a wide chair, dressed luxuriously and with a crown and jade eyes like a star, sitting upright, Yi Qingfeng and the four knew that this person must be Prince John, the four of them hurriedly knelt down and saluted, Prince John opened his mouth and said: "The four distinguished guests come from afar, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”
Yi Qingfeng and the four of them got up and sat down.
Prince John said: "Just now, this king heard that the four of them are the top martial artists of the Ten Thousand Dust Continent, and this time they entered the plague land to eliminate ghouls, I don't know if this matter is serious?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "Prince Hui, this matter is true, the four of us are disciples of the Martial Sect School of the Wanchen Continent, and we were ordered by the head of the sect to subdue demons and eliminate demons here, and I heard that the ghouls have a brutal temperament and scourge the common people, and indiscriminately kill my fellow human beings, so we decided to wipe them all out." ”
Prince John was overjoyed and said: "Okay, you young heroes are really heroes, I can't hide it, my Golden Sand clan and ghouls have a common enmity, for a long time this king has always had a wish, that is, one day to wipe out all the ghouls, so it seems that this king and the four young heroes have the same wish, I wonder if the four are willing to fight side by side with this king, together to clear the nest of those damn ghouls?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "Yi can't ask for it, if you can be lucky enough to fight hand in hand with the prince, it will be a great joy in your life." ”
John laughed and said: "Yi Shaoxia said it well, this king is also very honored, this king often heard his father tell many stories of ancestors and humans working together to fight ghouls when he was a child, at that time it was as if he was listening to the book of heaven, I didn't expect to be fortunate enough to get what I wanted, God really helped me." The four of them must have worked very hard to come from afar, this king talks about the friendship of the landlord, why don't we talk while eating?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "Everything is under the orders of the prince. ”
Prince John said, "Okay, then the four of you will taste the wine and food of my Jinsha people with this king." So saying, he stepped down from his throne and led the people towards the dining room. Everyone entered the dining room and sat at a long dining table, with Prince John sitting at the main seat, and there was a variety of fine food and wine on the table.
After all, it is a palace banquet, grand and warm, and it is not a little better than an ordinary restaurant and a restaurant. Everyone chatted while eating, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, Prince John and Yi Qingfeng talked very speculatively, although Yi Qingfeng was not very old, but his experience was quite rich, talking about the thrilling things he had personally experienced were like the water of yellow water, Prince John was dumbfounded when he heard it, and immediately respected him like a god, and the friendship between the two was quickly established.
After eating, Prince John arranged for Yi Qingfeng and the four of them to temporarily live in a quiet small building in the palace, Xiang Chen sat on a chair and said: "The world is unpredictable, who would have thought that we would become the guests of the prince of the Jinsha clan." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "This is a good thing, Prince John is a virtuous king who is jealous of evil and loves the people like a son, if we form an alliance with him, it can be said that it has injected a fresh blood into the power of justice, not to mention the hope of clearing the ghouls in the plague land, even in the future war with the beast clan and the demon clan, I am afraid it will also play a big role." ”
Mu Qianqian said: "You think really far enough, no wonder you made Prince John happy during the meal just now, I think you didn't seem to be such a talkative person before, it turned out that you had ulterior motives." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "Qianqian, what you said, how ugly it is to have ulterior motives, I feel like I am a bad person, I am not here to establish friendship with Prince John, otherwise why would I talk so hard, I am also for everyone, for our righteous power to be stronger, Renliang, you said I did the right thing?"
Wu Renliang was in a trance, and suddenly heard someone calling him and hurriedly said, "Who called me, who called me?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "I called you, and asked if what I said just now was right?"
Wu Renliang said: "I didn't hear what you just said, why don't you say it again?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "You can really do it, let's discuss things together, why are you stunned alone?"
Wu Renliang said: "I wasn't stunned, just now I was thinking about how the wine we drank at night was so delicious, it was so delicious, I still want to drink it now, do you feel this way?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "Let's get down to business, you know how to drink, and it's useless to ask you, it's not early, let's rest early." With that, he got up and walked towards the inner room, and Xiang Chen and Mu Qianqian also got up and left one after another.
Wu Renliang said: "Why are you gone, I haven't finished talking about the wine yet." ”
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, Prince John sent people to invite Yi Qingfeng, Mu Qianqian, Xiang Chen, and Wu Renliang into the palace every day, Yi Qingfeng naturally hoped to send troops to clear out the ghouls as soon as possible, but sending troops to fight against foreign races was not trivial, although Prince John had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he did not dare to decide on his own, and it stands to reason that he had to make a statement to the patriarch Kaili.
But Prince John also knew in his heart that Carey would not agree to this, Carey exiled his prince to the remote place of Seaa City in order to stabilize his regime, if he knew that he had so many soldiers and horses in his hands and had the ambition to compete with the ghouls, he would inevitably be suspicious, and I am afraid that there would be more right and wrong at that time, so Prince John was still thinking about when to raise troops, and Yi Qingfeng and others had to wait patiently.
On this day, Yi Qingfeng, Xiang Chen, Mu Qianqian, and Wu Renliang were chatting together, and Xiang Chen said: "Although Prince John has the intention to send troops, he is not up to him in sending troops, and I estimate that this matter is not so easy." ”
Wu Renliang said: "I agree with Xiang Chen's statement, let's wait like this is just a waste of time, if I want me to say that we have to make two preparations, it is better to send someone to borrow some soldiers and horses from Elder Jiang Chao, he and we are a family, and we will definitely agree." Let's not hang ourselves from a tree, if Prince John agrees to send troops, it would be great, in case he refuses to send troops, we won't end up empty-handed, I don't know what everyone thinks?"
Yi Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said: "I think you two are reasonable, although Prince John has the intention to send troops, but after all, he is involved in the army, and we don't have too deep a friendship with him, whether he can fully trust us is unknown, I agree with Xiang Chen and Renliang's statement, Qianqian, what do you think?"
Mu Qianqian said: "You guys are right, can I disagree, now the question is who to send to borrow troops from Elder Jiang, and who to leave behind to continue to agitate Prince John." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "Prince John, here I have the most good relationship with him, I am the best person to stay, Qianqian naturally wants to be with me, then there is Lao Xiangchen and Renliang, you go to Guiye City for a trip, be sure to borrow a strong army to come." ”
Wu Renliang said: "This is very good, then it is decided, I will also go back to see Cui Yan on the way, Xiang Chen, you have no opinion, right?"
Xiang Chen said: "I have no opinion, without further ado, I think let's set off now, it's a bit of a journey to Guiye City here." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Okay, let's go to Lord Lei Sol now, and ask him to send someone to send us out of the city." With that, the four of them walked briskly towards the door. After finding Lei Suo'er, Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang got into the carriage and left, while Yi Qingfeng and Mu Qianqian stayed behind and continued to wait for Prince John's decision.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the Patriarch of Kairi would not agree to send troops to fight the ghouls, and on the other hand, the general Rocky, who had been searching for information in the royal city, would return to Seaside City in the near future, and he wanted to hear his opinion before making a decision.
On this day, Prince John was discussing with Resor in the palace, and Prince John said, "Lesor, how have you collected those golden eggs recently, can you collect them before the patriarch's birthday?"
Lei Sol said: "Back to the prince, my subordinates have recently urged all parties to step up their work, and more than half of the thousand golden eggs have been collected, and I believe that they will be completed within the expected time." ”
Prince John was overjoyed and said, "Okay, there must be no mistake in this matter, the patriarch must have deliberately made it difficult for me to arrange such a difficult task this time, and I can't let him succeed." ”
As the two were talking, one of their subordinates suddenly hurriedly walked in and said, "Report to the prince, the great general Lodge has returned from the royal city, and is waiting outside the door to be summoned by the prince." ”
Prince John was overjoyed and said, "He is back, pass me the order, and let him come in quickly." ”
The subordinate said respectfully, "Yes, Prince." He hurriedly stepped back.
Soon, Rocky walked in through the door, and he stepped forward and saluted, "Your subordinates see the prince." ”
John smiled and said, "The general doesn't need to be polite, I've worked hard all the way, what important news can I hear in the royal city this time?"
Rocky sat down and said: "Back to the prince, now the forces in the royal city are all the henchmen of the patriarch, the national teacher Karel has won the trust of the patriarch and has the power to monopolize, and many ministers who were good friends with the prince before have been suppressed by him, or cut down to the people or demoted to foreign posts, it can be said that there is no one in the royal city who can speak for the prince, and now the prince's situation is very dangerous."
A few days ago, his subordinates heard that someone in the royal city wanted to take advantage of the patriarch's birthday to lure the prince into the royal city, or to put the prince under house arrest. ”
John was shocked and said: "What, there is such a thing, who is so sinister and wants to put this king to death, so it seems that the trip to the royal city in half a month must be very dangerous, I don't know what the two lovers will do?"
General Luo Qi said: "The subordinates think that the prince's trip is more auspicious, so it is better to put it off and let the subordinate prince go on a trip." ”
Lei Suo'er on the side also said: "Prince, this matter is not trivial, the subordinates have promised the former king to keep the prince safe at all costs, and the prince must not put himself in danger, just according to the words of the general." ”
Prince John frowned and said, "The two Aiqing don't need to worry, King Rong Ben thinks about it, you should retreat first." ”
Resor and Rocky respectfully said, "Yes, Prince. He said and retreated.
