Chapter 8: Strange Rewards
The prince of the Qingyu Dynasty who reached the age of ten needed to be crowned, which was the policy implemented by Emperor Lu Hua'an since he ascended the throne.
Emperor Lu Hua'an was a very ambitious emperor, not just satisfied with a dynasty, but he was almost fifty years old, which was too old for him.
Moreover, Emperor An has not practiced any martial arts, plus the dynasty is all his hard work, and he often stays up late to correct and correct the twists and turns, and at most seventy or eighty years old is his limit.
Although it seems that there are still twenty or thirty years, can it really last for twenty or thirty years, Emperor Lu Huaan himself knows very well, so he must have a successor who is both capable and ambitious.
Even if it doesn't meet the requirements, at least let the dynasty maintain its current status, so the title of king is just the emperor's test for several princes, to see who is more suitable for this Qingyu's throne.
Qingyu has five princes and one princess, and the eldest prince Lu Jinyu was named the fief of the Jade King, Qinghe County, just west of Qingyu City, and is one of the three richest counties of the Qingyu Dynasty.
The second prince, Lu Boyu, was named Guangyang County, the fief of King Yu, located in the south of Qingyu City, and it is also one of the three richest counties in Qingyu.
The fourth prince, Lu Zhengliang, is a martial arts idiot who loves to practice martial arts since he was a child, and has never participated in the battle of the other three princes.
The fifth prince Lu De, his personality is very inconsistent with his name, it is rumored that the fifth prince Lu De is extremely cruel, just because someone offended him, he destroyed his entire clan.
A princess is naturally the princess born to the queen, whether it is the prince or the princess Lu Likite is the most favored, so Lu Likite was given the title of Princess Likite when she was born.
For Lu Jiuyuan, the only real enemy in the Qingyu Dynasty is the eldest prince Jade King Lu Jinyu, and the second prince Lu Boyu King may just be some trouble, and the fifth prince is not a problem at all.
Qingyu's richest three counties are Qinghe County in the west, Guangyang County in the south, and Yunzhong County in the east, two of the three counties were divided, and the remaining Yunzhong County, neither the three princes nor the ministers of the court could agree to use Yunzhong County as Lu Jiuyuan's fief.
Except for the three counties of Qinghe, Guangyang, and Yunzhong, the remaining seventeen counties basically have no good choice for Lu Jiuyuan, but Lu Jiuyuan also has to choose the northern county that is suitable for the development of his own forces.
In the hall of the Xiyuan Mansion in Qingyu City, Lu Jiuyuan sat on the main seat, and Li Ru and Zhang Liao sat on both sides, but Lu Jiuyuan had a sad face.
"Congratulations to the Lord of the Abyss for receiving a temporary reward wheelchair."
That's right, it's a temporary reward wheelchair given by the system, and Lu Jiuyuan really wants to pull the system out and play a dozen, otherwise he really doesn't know what this system is for.
And Li Ru and Zhang Liao saw that Lu Jiuyuan was pondering, so they naturally didn't bother, although Lu Jiuyuan's communication with the system Li Ru and Zhang Liao didn't know, but they both felt Lu Jiuyuan's gloom.
"System, didn't I not complete any hidden tasks? How can there be a reward? ”
And this reward is still a wheelchair, what does the system mean Lu Jiuyuan really doesn't understand, do you want to break your leg, but this is too cruel.
"Just as Lord Yuan thought!"
Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan's lungs exploded, and he could only think of his own system if he broke his leg, and could he really connect it if he broke his leg, it was impossible with Kyushu's current medical skills.
"Hehe, as I thought, are you going to reward me with a bottle of aspirin to make me have a heart attack."
"It's not impossible, as long as the abyss master can say that the system can be done, may I ask if the abyss lord needs aspirin?"
"System, you're naughty, does this kind of thing really work for me?"
Lu Jiuyuan knew that innate martial artists were not easy to get sick, and true qi itself could be used to treat diseases, so it was said that innate martial artists would not suffer from heart disease at all.
"Don't worry, the system will have a way to make the abyss master suffer from a heart attack."
"I'm C!"
It seemed that he was aware of Lu Jiuyuan's thought system and added another sentence, and Lu Jiuyuan, who heard the words, felt like he only knew this hidden system in his mind today.
"No need to talk nonsense, let's talk about what this temporary reward is for?"
"Just as the Abyss Lord wanted, break the Abyss Lord's legs."
"System, is this serious? Can you not use it? ”
The system gave a positive answer, and Lu Jiuyuan knew that he had no chance, but he still wanted to refute it, after all, breaking his leg was very uncomfortable for Lu Jiuyuan.
"Don't worry about the abyssal lord, it's not really breaking the abyss lord's leg, the abyss lord can resume normal walking at any time."
"System, you mean feigning illness?"
"Yes, after the system processing, the abyss lord doesn't have to worry about being discovered by others, as long as the abyss lord doesn't show up."
Lu Jiuyuan was much more relieved when he heard this, but since the system gave such a reward, there must be some tasks that he needed to complete by himself, otherwise he would not have rewarded him for no reason.
"When is the system going to break my leg?"
"Qilin Genius!"
Unicorn Genius!
The system only replied to the four words of Qilin Caizi, and Lu Jiuyuan also knew the meaning, his leg could not be broken for no reason, it would definitely need to be interrupted by others, and Qilin Caizi was just right.
The person of the Qilin Talent does not exist at all, and in Langshan, there is a Qilin Talent who can win the world, which is just Lu Jiuyuan who asked the world to deliberately spread it.
If Lu Jiuyuan advertised that he had obtained the Qilin Talent through the hands of others, then what would be the reaction of the princes of Qingyu's major officials, they would definitely try their best to get rid of the Qilin Talent.
And the Qilin Talent itself is fictional, and when the Qilin Talent was assassinated, it was when Lu Jiuyuan broke his leg, so it was logical.
Lu Jiuyuan speculated that something big would definitely happen this time, and it had something to do with the broken leg, but since he had thought of countermeasures, he had nothing to worry about, so he withdrew from the system board.
"Lord, is there anything bad going on?"
"It's okay, let's continue to talk about the fiefdom."
Li Ru and Zhang Liao saw that Lu Jiuyuan's expression returned to normal, so they asked Lu Jiuyuan with concern, after all, Lu Jiuyuan was concerned about whether he and the others would have the opportunity to show their skills in the future.
"Wenyou, but I don't think my father will give me Beijun as a fief."
Lu Jiuyuan himself has no power, and with the broken leg a few days later, will Emperor Lu Huaan really agree to make Beijun his fiefdom.
"My lord, what do you think of the emperor's ambitions today, and what about the barbarian clan north of the North County?"
"Wenyu, what do you mean?"
"Just as the lord thought."
The current emperor Lu Huaan is ambitious, no matter how desperately he needs a capable and ambitious successor like him, and Lu Jiuyuan's choice of Beijun is not in line with the emperor's wishes.
Maybe the barbarian race north of Beijun is too dangerous, but the barbarian race that has been starving for a long time will greatly reduce its barbaric strength, and it is not enough to break through the walls of the ten passes of Beijun, so Lu Jiuyuan will not have much of a problem.
Emperor Lu Huaan also knew that as long as Lu Jiuyuan did not let the barbarian race enter the ten levels, Beijun would be very safe, which would also reflect Lu Jiuyuan's courage.
Maybe those ministers and princes felt that Lu Jiuyuan was killing himself, but the emperor could see it clearly, as long as Lu Jiuyuan governed the northern county well, the emperor would presumably support Lu Jiuyuan secretly in the position of the East Palace.
As for the eldest prince Lu Jinyu, would the emperor not know that the Fengyu Empire secretly supported him, and would he really be willing to hand over the dynasty he had managed so hard to Lu Jinyu like this, I am afraid that it may not be.
The emperor will give priority to the four princes except for the eldest prince Lu Jinyu, since they all know that the Fengyu Empire is involved in the battle of Qingyu East Palace, how can Emperor Lu Huaan not have some means.
Therefore, Beijun is really the best choice, and Beijun is also far away from Qingyu City in Kyoto, and Lu Jiuyuan hopes that some news will not be known to people in Kyoto soon, even if the emperor has special means, it may not be all clear.
"Since we don't need to worry about the fiefdom, let's talk about other things, Wenyou, how about the things I let you do?"
"Lord, I found out that the fire was indeed deliberately set by someone, the purpose was to make the lord disappear in that fire, but"
"But what?"
What Lu Jiuyuan asked Li Ru to do was who set the fire seven years ago, but Li Ru's answer seemed to be a little hesitant, so Lu Jiuyuan asked again.
"But to solve this matter, the current lord does not have such ability,"
"Wait! Let me guess, if I can't do anything, then this person's identity is very high in the Qingyu Dynasty, but he has a grudge against me and his father doesn't dare to deal with it easily, that person should be Concubine Yan, Wen You is or not? ”
"It's Concubine Yan."
When Lu Jiuyuan had not yet left the palace, he guessed that it was caused by Concubine Yan, if the emperor did not take the name Lu Jiuyuan, maybe the fire would not have happened, and Concubine Hua would not have died.
But Lu Jiuyuan is not very sure of Concubine Yan, so he asked Li Ru to investigate, if he doesn't investigate, after a long time, a lot of evidence will disappear, and in the end there are only some doubts left.
And the reason for Li Ru's hesitation, Lu Jiuyuan guessed that he was afraid that he would be impulsive and directly find the emperor to theorize, and then this matter would be difficult to solve, but fortunately, Lu Jiuyuan's own personality was relatively calm, and this situation would not occur.
In the previous life, didn't the Jiuyuan mercenary group just didn't hold back for a while, and it had to fight with the leaders of the four major mercenary groups to the end, Lu Jiuyuan in this life would no longer be so impulsive, after all, impulse is the devil, and this sentence is not wrong at all.
