Chapter Seventy-Four: Choice

The banquet held by Lu Hua'an, the emperor of the Qingyu Dynasty, is over.

Xia Feng, the envoy of the Xia Dynasty, also returned to the Messenger's Inn, while Xia Mengzhi went to the Jade King's Mansion.

In the room of Xia Feng in the messenger's inn, Xia Feng and Mu Lao sat inside, only Mu Lao was in a trance.

"Mu Lao, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Feng looked at Mu Lao and asked, as far as he knew, the Grandmaster Strong should not be like this, and Mu Lao is the Grandmaster Strong, but Mu Lao had some abnormalities when he came back from the banquet.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, there is a great grandmaster and a strong man beside Lu Jiuyuan." Mu Lao took a deep breath and said when he heard this.

"What? Great Grandmaster Strong! When Xia Feng heard this, he couldn't sit still and stood up, he didn't know very well what the concept of a great grandmaster powerhouse was, but he knew that an empire-level dynasty might not be willing to provoke.

"Yes, the Great Grandmaster is strong."

"Who is it, is it the one named Li Bai, or the person who knocked Li Bai out at the banquet?" Xia Feng asked, he had now lost his former steadyness.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Li Bai is a master of the innate eightfold, and the other person is a great grandmaster powerhouse, who should be the sword saint Gai Nie rumored by the outside world."

Juggernaut Ganie!

This time, Xia Feng can stone hammer Lu Jiuyuan with the support of a huge force, after all, it is impossible for Lu Jiuyuan to find a great grandmaster powerhouse without anyone's help.

and Li Bai is at least a literary master eightfold, plus the innate eightfold martial artist realm, both of them have a certain identity in the Kyushu Continent, but such a person is Lu Jiuyuan's subordinate.

"By the way, what do you think of what Li Bai said?" Xia Feng was a little unhappy when he thought of Li Bai, they had not won the two competitions in the Qingyu Dynasty this time, and they had fought with them in the martial arts test, but they didn't even have the courage to compete.

But what Li Bai said tonight is indeed a bit of a shouting person, and Mu Lao is a strong grandmaster, and he should know more about the rumors on the rivers and lakes, so asking him may be much faster than flipping through books.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I don't know about this, but I think it's seventy percent true, otherwise Lu Jiuyuan wouldn't have stopped him from saying this." Although Mu Lao has gone through the rivers and lakes, he doesn't know much about the legends of the realm of the eightfold and above scholars.

In the thirty-third Qingyu Dynasty of Emperor An, Emperor Lu Huaan held a banquet in the palace.

And at the banquet, there was a news spread throughout the Qingyu Dynasty, even Yongzhou and the upper three states.

At the same time, it was confirmed that the Sword Saint Gai Nie was a subordinate of the Nine Abyss King of the Qingyu Dynasty.

On the second day of the banquet, the Jade King's Mansion was in the early morning.

In a room, Xia Mengzhi, the princess of the Xia Dynasty, sat on a chair, her head resting on the table, and sobbing from time to time.

As for why he cried, no one knows, I'm afraid that only the Jade King knows some.

"Lord Wang." A voice came from outside the door of the room.

"How's it going?" The Jade King asked.

"Her Royal Highness didn't eat."

"Well, I see, you go down first."

The Jade King took the maid away, then pushed open the door of the room and looked at the crying Princess Xia.

"Princess Xia, don't think that this king doesn't know about your coming and kissing, the envoy's assassination was planned by you, and this king also knows, if it weren't for the fact that you are the princess of the Xia Dynasty, this king wouldn't have the kung fu to play with you."

"The third brother of this king has already seen through this, so he didn't investigate at all, and he went to the post house just to get rid of the amorous rumors outside, do you really think that the third brother of this king is willing to go to the messenger's post house?"

"There is also the second brother of this king, King Yu, he doesn't have much talent himself, and going to the post house is just his interest, otherwise he wouldn't go."

The Jade King said mercilessly, he knew that Xia Mengzhi didn't like him at all, but even so, he wanted to ruin Xia Mengzhi and let Xia Mengzhi know that Lu Jiuyuan hadn't looked at her at all.

"You!" Originally, Xia Mengzhi couldn't stand what happened yesterday, and now he is even more sad to be told by the Jade King.

"Xia Mengzhi, clean up well, this king will personally send you to the messenger's post house in a while, if outsiders see you like this, your face and the face of the entire Xia Dynasty will be gone, and then you think you still have any status in the Xia Dynasty."

The tone of the Jade King was very different from yesterday, he needed Xia Mengzhi's position in the Xia Dynasty to be supported by the Xia Dynasty, and he had already discovered that Concubine Yan had a hint of wanting to control him, so in addition to the one on the surface, he also secretly wanted some forces to prevent it.

When Xia Mengzhi heard the words of the Jade King, she knew that if she lost her position in the Xia Dynasty, she would be nothing, so she hurriedly cleaned up her gaffe.

The Jade King and Xia Mengzhi soon arrived at the Messenger's Inn, and their speed was not too fast, but on the way, the two of them didn't say a word, just because something bad happened last night.

Xia Mengzhi is indeed very beautiful, and the Jade King also has feelings for him, but in the eyes of the Jade King, feelings are definitely not as important as power.

The Jade King and Xia Mengzhi have similarities and differences, the Jade King wants absolute power, while Xia Mengzhi values power.

After the Jade King sent Xia Mengzhi to the post house, he left the post house directly, he still had some things to do, especially what happened last night, Lu Jiuyuan's power was getting stronger and stronger, and he had to make a counterattack.

The Xia Dynasty Envoy Post House.

"Brother Huang, I've decided, choose the Jade King!" Xia Mengyi entered the post house and went to Xia Feng's room, and then spoke.

"Dream, Lu Jiuyuan's power seems to be hidden, do you really want to choose the Jade King." Xia Feng frowned and asked, Xia Mengyi came back and said this, and he couldn't help but suspect that something bad had happened in the Jade King's Mansion last night.

"Brother Huang, just choose the Jade King!" As soon as she heard Lu Jiuyuan's three words, Xia Mengzhi's eyes couldn't help but become very dim, she knew that she would have no chance in the future.

"Mengzhi, you have to think clearly, once you choose the Jade King, I have no ability to change it."

Xia Feng still felt that he wanted to remind Xia Mengzhi, he knew that Xia Mengzhi seemed to like Lu Jiuyuan a little, and Xia Mengzhi made a choice after returning from the Jade King's Mansion, which must have happened in the Jade King's Mansion.

Now Xia Feng found that Xia Mengzhi seemed to be a little different from before, but he couldn't say for sure about this difference, it seemed like a different person overnight.

Xia Mengzhi didn't finish under Xia Feng's final questioning, but left Xia Feng's room, but when she left the room, tears couldn't help but flow out of the corners of her eyes.

On the other side, it is the imperial study where Emperor Lu Hua'an works.

"How about Gonggong Cao, did anything happen when I left the banquet last night?" Emperor Lu Huaan lowered his head and corrected the folds, but did not look up, and asked directly.

"Your Majesty, last night the Jade King brought the second princess of the Xia Dynasty to his mansion."

"What else?"

"Also, last night was the last time for the prince and the prince of Wuwang to leave, and the prince and the prince still stayed in the imperial garden for a long time."

"Oh, tell me, what's going on?" Emperor Lu Huaan was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that the prince of Wuwang and Lu Jiuyuan would have the courage to meet directly in the imperial garden, aren't they afraid of being discovered by others, as for most of the affairs of the Jade King, it was arranged by Concubine Yan, and he didn't bother to care.

Although Emperor Lu Huaan once wrote a secret letter to Martial King Lu Yifei, it was obvious that Lu Changqing, the son of Martial King, had met Lu Jiuyuan for the first time, and King Martial had definitely asked Lu Changqing not to act lightly before choosing a camp, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Your Majesty, last night the prince asked Gai Nie to watch for them, so the old slave didn't find any other news." Gonggong Cao said, there is Gai Nie to those under his command Mo Mo said to eavesdrop on the conversation between Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Changqing, just avoiding Gai Nie is not necessarily.

"Shadow." When Emperor Lu Huaan heard what Gonggong Cao said, he directly shouted to the shadow, and the purpose was naturally to let the shadow come to the news of the shadow inquiry.

"Did you find it?"

"Your Majesty, my subordinates followed the prince yesterday and overheard that King Wu had broken through." Shadow said.

"Yes, I didn't expect him to be able to break through, but in this way, I can take the next move." Emperor Lu Huaan was still very happy to hear that Lu Yifei had broken through, Lu Yifei was his only reassured relative, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Your Majesty, my subordinates heard that the King of Jiuyuan had already taken the prince under his command two years ago." The shadow said without thinking, sooner or later, these would have to be told to Emperor Lu Huaan.

The imperial study became very quiet as the words of the shadow fell, and Emperor Lu Huaan also stopped writing, stood up and walked to the window.

"Is this providential?"

Emperor Lu Huaan muttered softly, it seemed that everything was inclined to Lu Jiuyuan, and Lu Jiuyuan seemed to have such an ability.

"Maybe this is the will of heaven, why don't I say it?"

At the beginning of September of the 33rd year of Emperor An, Xia Feng, an envoy of the Xia Dynasty, left Qingyu City with the entire delegation and headed towards the Xia Dynasty in the south.

Moreover, the Xia Dynasty envoy seems to have lost the demeanor it had when it came, and it walked very quietly.
