Chapter 294: Nine Kings' Mansion
"Nine Princes, what is he looking for us?" The fat man took the invitation, glanced at it a little, and knew the general content, this invitation turned out to be handed by the Nine Kings Mansion, and asked them to come over the mansion.
Jiuwangfu is a newly built building in this town, after Cuixiang Nunnery was occupied by the two sisters Mu Liu and Mu Shuang, it was inconvenient for the Nine Princes to compete with them, and they didn't want to live in other places, so they ordered their subordinates to temporarily build such a place similar to the palace, and now the Nine Princes and the prince Xuanyuan Yu live here temporarily.
Shao Yu showed a sad face, he thought for a moment, and said: "It's indeed a little strange, you and I have no relationship with the Nine Kings, and we don't have anything to do with it on weekdays, what can he do with us?" ”
"Could it be because you broke the record before, and the Nine Princes want to know what you look like?" The fat man asked.
Shao Yu nodded, did not express his position, but said in a solemn tone: "Although we don't know exactly what it is for, no matter what the reason is, since the Nine Princes have issued an invitation, it is not an invitation, but an order, we have to go this time no matter what!" ”
The fat man nodded and said, "That's true, even if most of the people in the immortal cultivators don't ask about Hongchen's affairs. But in this Kyushu, the majesty of the dynasty is still not easily disobeyed, and the paper invitation of the Nine Princes, for our brothers, we have to go, and we have to go if we don't go. ”
The two of them ate a little casually, because the Nine Princes handed over an invitation, inviting Shao Yu and the fat man to go to the Nine Kings' Mansion as guests the next day, this news was too sudden, the two had to prepare in advance, and they were not in the mood to eat again, and soon the two went to bed.
Early the next morning, the two got up early and went to the Nine Kings' Mansion.
There is an old slave outside the house, waiting for them there, although it is said to be an old slave, but this person looks radiant, with a childish face, exuding a strong aura all over his body, Shao Yu can roughly guess just by feeling, this old slave is at least the cultivation of the late stage of the Earth Binding Realm, he sighed in his heart, the strength of the dynasty is really unfathomable, just an old slave's cultivation is comparable to Shao Yu's grandfather, that is, the head of the Shao family.
The old slave was very respectful, and when he saw the two coming, he took the lead in giving a salute, and after the two returned the salute, they were led by the old slave and led the two into the Nine Kings' Mansion.
Entering the mansion, Shao Yu had to marvel at the grandeur of the dynasty again, although this is a temporary mansion, but it shows the majesty of the dynasty everywhere, the layout of the whole mansion is rigorous, vermilion walls, yellowstone bricks, glazed tiles...... All of this brings out the majesty of the whole mansion at once.
What's more, the whole courtyard is a completely symmetrical structure, with the gate as the central axis, and the layout on the left and right sides is exactly the same.
There is no shortage of scenic spots in the house, but the plants and trees planted in it are not only colorful, but also exude a refreshing medicinal fragrance. People can't help but linger here, and they don't want to leave for a long time.
"The fragrance of medicine here is overflowing, isn't it the fairy grass garden that is rumored in the world?" The fat man opened his mouth and asked Shao Yu in a low voice, but the old slave who led the way listened to him and replied: "This guest has thought a lot, the only fairy grass garden in Kyushu is now the deepest part of the imperial city, how can it be brought here, what is planted in this garden is just some ordinary spiritual grass, it is okay to appreciate it, and there is nothing on the table." ”
"The predecessors are too modest, which of the spirit grass here is not a rarity, and it will definitely make people blush for it when put on the market, and even fight, although it is not as deep as the fairy grass garden in the depths of God, but this is definitely a priceless place, only for viewing, I am afraid it is a bit extravagant." Hearing the old slave speak, Shao Yu responded with a fist.
Shao Yu has been looking through all kinds of classics of the Shao family since he was a child, he knows all kinds of spiritual grass fairy roots, and he knows them by heart, although the spiritual grass here is rare, but he has seen it in the book, and he knows a lot about it, so he knows the true value of these spiritual grasses.
Hearing this, the old slave slowly raised his head, swept his eyes over Shao Yu, showed an approving gaze, nodded, and said to himself: "It is worthy of being the person specially invited by the Nine Princes, and it is really a hero who is a young man,"
Shao Yu hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The seniors are serious, I just read a few books in my early years, and I happen to know these kinds of spirit grasses, which are nothing, if you talk about young heroes, in the imperial capital, there are countless better than those in Xia, and the seniors praise them like this, and I am really ashamed to be in Xia." ”
The old slave looked at Shao Yu with approving eyes, smiled and nodded: "Okay, you are proud but not arrogant, you are an outstanding descendant." ”
Shao Yu nodded, and didn't say any more polite words, the old slave led them to the lobby, and when the two of them walked in, they felt a luxurious aura rushing towards them.
The decoration in the lobby is really gorgeous, the gold bricks are paved with red silk, the glass cup is hung high, the eighteen top beams and columns are also made of pure gold, the golden light is shining, and in the center of the lobby, it is a chair made of pure gold, which looks like a dragon chair at first glance. But if you look closely, you can see that this golden chair is not the same as the dragon chair, and the totem behind the chair is not the Oriental Dragon, only four claws, which is a Jiao.
Airplanes!
Suddenly, there was a sound in the hall, this voice was incomparably grandiose, solemn, this is a yellow bell Dalu, now it rang suddenly, outside the hall, from far and near there was a sharp and loud shout - His Royal Highness the Third Prince arrived!
With this voice, a man came out from behind the screen behind the dragon chair, he was dressed in a golden jade robe, and the golden silk robe was extremely suitable for the person, as if he was born to wear it on him.
As the man walked over, the fat man was the first to recognize him, and exclaimed: "Xuanyuan Yu, it's you, making such a big show, I thought that the king of heaven had descended to earth!" ”
Surprisingly, Xuanyuan Yu sat on the golden chair and didn't pay attention to the fat man's greetings, he didn't say a word, his two eyes were as bright as stars, and his red pupils seemed to give birth to a peerless sword at any time. At this time, he was completely different, high up and ignoring the beings in the audience.
Now he is not the same as when Shao Yu first saw him, although Xuanyuan Yu at that time was domineering, but he was not a king, although he didn't say a word now, but the king's breath was fully displayed, which made Shao Yu palpitate for a while.
He smashed the fat man with his elbow, signaling the fat man not to talk nonsense, and to stand down with peace of mind, the fat man originally saw Xuanyuan Yu ignoring him, and his heart was extremely depressed, no matter what the two said, they could be regarded as sharing hardships, no matter what, the other party should not be so indifferent. He wanted to say a few words, but Shao Yu stopped him and didn't let him talk nonsense, so he had to hold it in his heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
The three of them didn't speak, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and suddenly, a hearty laugh came, and a person who looked like a middle-aged man walked over, he was also dressed in a yellow robe, but the clothes were embroidered with a unicorn, indicating that this was a prince, in fact, this person was Xuanyuan Yu's ninth uncle, that is, the master of the Nine Kings' Mansion, the nine kings of the dynasty!
This is a man full of legends, folk legend, in the battle of the heir, only he can compete with the emperor of the dynasty, the two launched a shocking duel in the imperial capital, chaotic qi swayed, alarmed many old immortals in Zhongzhou, have run to watch the battle, that battle shocked the continent of Kyushu, and is still talked about.
What's more, among the princes of His Majesty the Dynasty, there is only one Xuanyuan Yu Tianzhong, and the rest have not made much achievements, and the Nine Princes have a son under their knees, named Xuanyuan Kun, who chases Xuanyuan Yu directly, and is known as the only obstacle to Xuanyuan Yu's ascent to the top in the battle of this generation of dynasties, and many people regard the war between the two of them as a continuation of the Nine Kings and the Emperor, and have great expectations for this.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Yu and his ninth uncle are not as good as they seem, and there are some unknown contradictions between the two.
Seeing the Nine Princes laughing and walking into the hall, Xuanyuan Yu stepped down from the throne and ran to give a salute, in this dynasty, strength has always been respected, and the current Nine Kings can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand. Even if Xuanyuan Yugui was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he had to give half a salute to the Nine Kings.
The nine kings laughed and helped him up, Shao Yu saw this, and hurriedly pulled the fat man to kneel down together, and said: "The prince forgives the sin, the villain was shocked to see the nine princes' face, and he was terrified for a while, lost his etiquette, and hoped that the prince would forgive his sins." ”
The Nine Princes waved his hand, helped the two of them up with a smile, and said: "Where are you talking, these rules are all folk customs, my generation of cultivators are looking for immortals, these rules and regulations, it doesn't matter what he does." ”
Shao Yu clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for a lot!" In fact, he already had a plan in his heart, the Nine Princes helped him and the fat man up, but only did not help Xuanyuan Yu, and the contradiction between the two was probably deeper than imagined.
Xuanyuan Yu turned his head, and at this time he returned to his usual style, no longer as indifferent as at the beginning, and said: "Brother Shao, fat brother, don't come to harm!" ”
Shao Yu returned the salute and said, "Don't come unharmed!" ”
The Ninth Prince opened his mouth and said: "The two of you and my imperial nephew have old friends, but you can chat first, I still have some things, and after I finish dealing with them, I will come to accompany the two of you later." ”
As soon as the Nine Kings opened their mouths like this, Shao Yu and the two had to nod in agreement, and the Nine Kings patted Xuanyuan Yu on the shoulder and walked out of the lobby. (To be continued)
