Chapter 369 - Errands
The car of the sixth prince soon left the Lu Mansion.
And sitting in the car, in addition to the six princes, there is also Dongfang Shuo.
"Don't you think it's a pity that Mr. Dongfang used such outstanding feats to change this king to help you do this little thing?" the sixth prince looked at Dongfang Shuo and asked with a smile.
Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "This is very important at this time, so as long as it is not a matter of taking your life, it is not a pity to pay any price." ”
"This king is very curious, what does a thing that can make Mr. Dongfang pay such attention to it and Manager Xu?" asked the sixth prince.
Hearing this question, Dongfang Shuo looked at the Six Princes and said with a smile: "Since it is an important matter, how can the Six Princes think that I will take the initiative to tell you?"
Indeed, Dongfang Shuo did not tell the six princes what he wanted to do.
What he asked the six princes to help him was to let him make an appointment with Xu Changsheng alone.
Other than that, he didn't reveal even half a word. In fact, this matter has also been delayed for ten days, because of the matter of the alliance, he can only put it aside for the time being. At this point, the alliance battle is over, and he also needs to finish it as soon as possible.
The Sixth Prince's gaze was staring directly at Dongfang Shuo's body, and he asked, "If you ask Manager Xu to do something, you will be known in the end, what is the difference between telling me directly now?"
But Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "I think there is a big difference. If I remember correctly, Xu Changsheng should not be your person, but the prince's person, right? Since you are the prince's person, you shouldn't be able to do all kinds of surveillance, right? Besides, even if you could, you wouldn't have done so much trouble for this kind of thing, right?"
On the night he first came to the imperial city, Dongfang Shuo was 'summoned' by the eighth prince, and it was Xu Changsheng who relieved him from the siege.
And when Xu Changsheng broke the siege, he used the name of the prince to suppress the eighth prince.
In addition, after that incident, Xu Changsheng also took Dongfang Shuo to meet the prince.
With all these things in front of you, it is self-evident who Xu Changsheng is.
"Well-founded and convincing. The sixth prince nodded, and praised Dongfang Shuo in his eyes.
"So, so I won't tell the Sixth Highness what happened, if the Sixth Highness wants to know, go and find out for yourself. ”
"You know that this king will not waste his manpower in such a place. ”
"In that case, the Sixth Highness has the right not to know. ”
"You speak in a set way, or not, this king doesn't ask. The Sixth Prince sighed, but then he continued, "It's just that there is one thing that you seem to be mistaken. ”
"What's the matter?" Dongfang Shuo asked.
The sixth prince said: "Xu Changsheng is not the prince's person. ”
"Xu Changsheng is not the prince's person, so whose person is he?"
Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.
The sixth prince did not answer immediately, but looked at Dongfang Shuo, then turned his head to the side, lifted the curtain and looked out of the car.
"We're about to enter the palace. ”
After saying this, the sixth prince lowered the curtain, and said with a hook on the corner of his mouth, "Xu Changsheng is one of the heads of the entire palace, not just the head of the East Palace. ”
"What does the Sixth Highness mean ......" Dongfang Shuo was stunned.
The sixth prince didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately said: "Within the palace walls, it's good to know." Even if everyone knows some things, they will not choose to say it, let alone say it. ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded, and said no more.
But now, it seems that the meaning of the six princes is already obvious.
Xu Changsheng is only doing things for the prince for the time being, not the prince's person. And in this palace, everyone will only obey one person.
That is the emperor of the Longlin Empire.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo, who learned this, felt a little more relaxed in his heart.
If Xu Changsheng is the emperor's person, then he can be able to hide people's eyes and ears and do this well for Dongfang Shuo.
After entering the palace, Dongfang Shuo felt that the car had stopped.
"Get out of the car. ”
The Sixth Prince said.
Dongfang Shuo nodded in understanding, and got out of the car first, and then the six princes followed and got out of the car.
And Dongfang Shuo had just stepped on the ground, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the familiar palace. This is the dormitory of the six princes, the Yuling Palace. Where it all began.
At this time, outside the Yuling Palace, at the bottom of the stairs, a familiar figure was moving towards here.
That is Xu Changsheng, who has been waiting for a long time. Before the carriage and horses set off, the six princes sent a eunuch to inform Xu Changsheng.
"Welcome His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince back to the palace. ”
As soon as Xu Changsheng approached, he immediately gave a salute.
After the six princes got out of the carriage, they walked straight to the main hall, and helped Xu Changsheng up when he passed by.
"You are not from my temple, so you don't need to do this great ceremony. And it's not me who is looking for you, it's him. At this point, he had already passed by Xu Changsheng, "You have a quarter of an hour, go to the side hall to talk, no one will eavesdrop." ”
When the words fell, the six princes had already walked away.
Xu Changsheng raised his eyes and looked at Dongfang Shuo, and when he saw the latter smiling awkwardly, he didn't say anything.
So, the two entered the side hall of the Yuling Palace.
Although it is a side hall, its layout is just as magnificent. And when the door of the palace is closed, the internal and external aura and sound are completely isolated, but just as the six princes said, no one will eavesdrop.
Even if there were, if you were outside the temple, you wouldn't hear anything.
After that, Xu Changsheng set up a square table, and the two sat opposite each other.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xu Changsheng asked first.
Dongfang Shuo also got straight to the point: "I want to ask you to help me investigate one thing, an old thing that happened ten years ago." ”
"Do you mean that you want our family, a person in the palace, to do things for you?" Xu Changsheng said with a smile, "Do you know that this is not only a deception to the king, but even a suspicion of blasphemy and rebellion." The consequences are unimaginable. ”
"If the consequences were really that serious, you wouldn't have told me this now, and you wouldn't have even come since the first hit. Dongfang Shuo said.
Xu Changsheng shook his head: "The sixth prince ordered me to wait, and I naturally want to come." ”
"You can send someone to the Spirit Realm to remind me that your hands are long enough. Therefore, you must also know about my journey with the Six Princes. When the Sixth Prince called you, you should have already guessed that it was me who was looking for you. Am I right?" asked Dongfang Shuo.
These words made Xu Changsheng finally show a smile.
Subsequently, Xu Changsheng said: "What you said is good. ”
"And when you come to see me, it means that you are willing to help me within a certain limit. Dongfang Shuo said, "What I want you to do is not something as difficult as the sky, I just want you to help me investigate a person who is insignificant to the Empire." As for the blasphemy, if you are careful, no one will know. ”
"But, why do we want to help you?"
Xu Changsheng asked.
Of course, this is also a crucial thing.
"You help me investigate someone, and I help you find a candidate for your grandson. Dongfang Shuo's tone and expression were very serious, "This is a good deal, you can consider it." ”
After Xu Changsheng paused, he asked, "Couldn't it be you, my grandson?"
Dongfang Shuo immediately shook his head: "My ambition is not here. ”
"When I die, you can spread your wings and fly high. ”
"I'm sorry, but before you died, I wanted to spread my wings. You can't help me. ”
"Hehe, what you said is really cruel. ”
"So this deal, do you agree?"
"Can I think about it?"
"We only have a quarter of an hour, you don't have time to think. ”
"Then I'll just ask you one question, do you already have a candidate for my grandson in your mind now?"
"Hmm. ”
Answer simply. Let me guess. After Xu Changsheng sighed for a few breaths, he said, "Is it Dongfang Yu?"
The Dongfang Yu he is talking about is Ah Yu. The boy that Dongfang Shuo brought from the coast of the South China Sea in Qingzhou.
The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked: "You are very smart." ”
"After all, our family is already this age, if you can't even guess this, you are stupid. ”
"So, did you say yes?"
"Dongfang Yu's strength and talent are far inferior to you. ”
"But I can assure you that his talent will not be lost to anyone you have ever met. Dongfang Shuo said.
After all, it was a quenching thunder bone spirit body, a domineering physique that was enough to sanctify the flesh. With such talent, the future is promising.
Xu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Since you have already promised like this, I will believe you once." So, I'm going to hear who you'd like to investigate. ”
"Ten years ago, a traveling doctor died in the city of Yuewei on charges of betraying the city. Dongfang Shuo said, "Before he died, the last person he healed was the city lord of Yuewei, the lord of the previous generation. ”
"Weiwei City, this is where you came, right?" Xu Changsheng asked, "And what you want our family to help you check is the traveling doctor?"
Dongfang Shuo immediately nodded: "That's right, I want to know the real cause of death of that traveling doctor." ”
This is the content of his mission.
After completing the search for the cause of Wu Yi's death, Dongfang Shuodang even received another task.
Investigate the true cause of death of Su He's father.
And that traveling doctor is Su He's father. It is rumored that he received a bribe and healed the last generation of the city lord of Yuwei City, so he died a miserable death, and his son also became a beggar living in a broken temple at the base of the city wall, and was spurned by the world.
Obviously, that wasn't the real cause of death.
However, Dongfang Shuo's intuition told him that the real cause of death of the traveling doctor involved a lot of things.
After all, the system would not have asked him to investigate the cause of death of an ordinary person. Wu Yi's death, which seems ordinary, actually involves the strategy of the six princes and has a profound impact on the two empires.
And the most important thing is that the reward for this mission is three divine draws.
Equivalent to 150,000 points. Unprecedented.
"After all, it was ten years ago, I'm afraid, it's not that easy to check. Xu Changsheng said.
Dongfang Shuo got up and said, "Check slowly, there will always be results." Within two months, I would like to know the results. ”
The duration of the mandate is three months.
"That's fine. ”
Xu Changsheng sighed, "I will try my best to investigate, and within two months, I will give you an answer." ”
