Chapter 389: Opportunity Appears (Medium)

This time, Zhu Rong also brought her own clansmen with her, but their Suzaku clan is a matriarchal clan, women are inferior to men, Zhu Rong's twenty personal guards are all female guards, and the remaining fifty male guards are obviously one level lower in status, and there are also some subordinates, a total of more than 100 people. But there are two elders in the middle, and the cultivation is actually at the level of martial arts, but they have a withdrawn temperament, do not smile, and spend most of their time in the carriage.

Duanmuqi's side has also been prepared for a long time, and he has bought four carriages with a lot of money, one of which is specially prepared for Zhu Xiaobao, his image is relatively easy to recognize, and I don't know if anyone knows him, so for the sake of safety, he still stays in the carriage!

The people of the Vermilion Bird clan did not have any interaction with Duanmu Qi and them, Duanmu Qi and they were following Zhu Rong and them, don't look at the two Martial Venerables, but they didn't notice that Zhu Xiaobao had a great Martial Venerable mixed in here.

There was no communication between the entourages of the two sides, but Zhu Rong and Zhu Xiaobao were constantly communicating along the way. A lot of time was sitting in Zhu Xiaobao's carriage, and Zhu Rong was explaining to Zhu Xiaobao the details of the Northern Zirui Kingdom!

It turned out that Yu Qianrou had been defeated by Emperor Uncle Yu Wanfeng three years ago, and although she was still nominally Zirui Country when she retreated here, her strength had been greatly reduced, and this place was originally more backward and barren than Southern Zirui Country, so it was quite difficult to develop here. Besides, those families here were not very peaceful, because this place did not belong to Zirui Country at the beginning, and was slowly annexed by Zirui Country later.

It turned out that there were still commercial exchanges between the north and the south, which could indeed drive the development of this place, so the situation was relatively stable, and those big families also developed steadily. But then Yu Qianrou burned several bridges connecting the two places, and the development began to slow down in recent years. And Yu Qianrou's strength is not enough to deter these big families, so the actions of the Northern Zirui Kingdom are also very turbulent.

Later, due to the marriage of several other princesses and the big family, the situation in the Zirui Kingdom was barely stabilized, but as the strength of those big families became stronger and stronger, their appetite became bigger and bigger, and they wanted Yu Qianrou to recognize their fiefdom and be crowned king, so that they could have greater autonomy.

Among them, the two most ferocious ones are the Li family and the Qin family, among which the Li family is even stronger, there are 200,000 private troops alone, this is only on the surface, as for how many things they have in secret, no one knows!

The reason why I want to fight for the fiefdom in this area of Beiqiao Town now is because here is the seaside to the west, because the North and South Zirui countries are not fighting now, and everyone wants to reopen large-scale trade routes, and shipping is undoubtedly the most convenient!

So the two families fought for the fief of this 'British king'. It's time to dispatch their own private soldiers! It can be regarded as a scruple for other great families to compete with each other for the benefit of the fisherman, and the two families finally decided to win or lose by the two horses, and the winner became the first 'prince' of the Northern Zirui Kingdom. Moreover, the sons of these two families are married to princesses, one is married to the second princess Yu Qianhong, and the Qin family is married to the fourth princess Yu Qianping. But judging from the information in hand, the second horse Li Yuanwu has a better chance of winning!

"Why are you so opposed to Li Yuanwu becoming the 'King of England', and would rather let Qin Wei become the 'King of England'?" Zhu Xiaobao was a little dizzy when he heard it, but he still listened patiently, this was all he had to know. So as soon as Zhu Rong finished speaking, he immediately asked.

“…… Because the Li family was originally married to our Suzaku clan, Li Yuanwu and Zhu Xin made a marriage contract, but I didn't expect Zhu Xin to defect from the tribe and go to Nanzirui Country to get involved with Yu Shichang! Otherwise, Li Yuanwu would not have become a second horse! Therefore, the Li family has a lot of dissatisfaction with our Suzaku clan, especially Li Yuanwu, he has always been angry, and he has come to our clan several times to provoke and make trouble, if it weren't for the fact that the elders in the clan are profound, they would have fought a lot! Zhu Rong said a little depressed.

"Hey, hey! So the enemy of the enemy is a friend, since the Li family and the Qin family are not in harmony, then you hope that the Qin family can win, and even be able to make friends with the Qin family? Zhu Xiaobao looked at Zhu Rong and couldn't help laughing, he can still see through this point!

"Hmmm! Although this is the case, if Li Yuanwu really becomes the 'King of England', we are not afraid of him, can we still do anything wrong in our own fiefdom? Our Suzaku clan is not easy to mess with! Zhu Rong nodded, but said very strongly.

"But even if I recognize Yu Qianrou, I can't help you?" Zhu Xiaobao asked a little puzzled.

"Of course you can, you are completely back to normal now, and you are far beyond ordinary people, you don't know how important a normal prince is to Zirui Kingdom! And you have all kinds of unpredictable abilities! What's more, there is a great venerable beside him, and this alone is enough to deter those families who are about to move! Zhu Rong said eagerly.

"Hee-hee! My little ability is nothing in front of you at all, even if I have the Great Venerable by my side, haven't you drugged medicated? I've suffered a lot of losses! Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile.

"You...... What a hateful little bastard! Okay, as long as you can help me stop Li Yuanwu from becoming king, I'll ...... I'll let you ...... Get the bargain back! Zhu Rong said with a little resentment, but seeing Zhu Xiaobao's smile and grin, she was really a little lying in her heart!

"Let me think about it! I didn't expect that I would come back to intervene in such a mess, I knew I wouldn't come back! Zhu Xiaobao held his cheeks and muttered, this time there is still a lot of risk in returning! I don't know if Yu Qianrou still recognizes herself?

In fact, Zhu Xiaobao really didn't have the heart to joke with Zhu Rong now, he was thinking about how to quickly get the approval of the royal family, otherwise with these people he brought, he might not be able to beat so many royal forest troops!

After arriving in the Imperial City, he first found a place to settle down, and Zhu Rong immediately went to contact the secret agents in the Imperial City to learn about the latest situation. Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly summoned Duanmu Qi to discuss, how to succeed in one blow!

"Huh! It doesn't matter, in fact, this kind of scene seems to be dangerous, but it is not. Those families are watching coldly, who will come out on top? Hehe, although Da Wuzun does not intervene in worldly affairs, he didn't say that he can't protect his master? Duanmuqi waved his hand very firmly and said.

"That's right! Old apprentice, this time I, the master, want you to behave well! When Zhu Xiaobao heard this, he was overjoyed, why did he forget that there are nine great Venerables in the world, and there is only one in Zirui Kingdom, and he is still in Southern Zirui Kingdom!

"Master! The air-dried chicken you promised hasn't taught me yet? The old apprentice said with a little resentment, he didn't take this martial arts competition in his eyes at all, what he was worried about was the air-dried chicken he had eaten last time, Zhu Xiaobao had never taught him well, he had secretly made it several times, and he couldn't make that kind of taste!

"Why are you so stupid? How many times have you been taught, but you haven't learned it yet? You come with me, teach you again, you can't learn again, don't say it's my apprentice when you go out, I'm afraid of being embarrassed! Zhu Xiaobao immediately shouted angrily, leaving even the most important thing behind, and took the old apprentice to the backyard! Duanmuqi was stunned for a moment, this master and apprentice are really weird, they actually threw down their serious things, what to do to dry chicken?

When Duanmu Qi arrived in the Imperial City, he immediately began to collect all kinds of information and intelligence, Duanmu Shilang had already been sent to the Imperial City, he was not as easy as Zhu Xiaobao, he started preparing early! Let Zhu Xiaobao and Yu Qianrou recognize each other, it is only the most basic, what he has to do is how to let Zhu Xiaobao restore the identity of the prince, quickly calm down the situation in Zirui Kingdom, and even have sent someone to Lingyue Mountain, waiting for his transmission, if necessary, to pull the people of Lingyue Mountain and Princess Island over.

After a few days of understanding, everyone felt that this Northern Zirui Kingdom was inferior to the original Xiyuan City, that is, in the Imperial City, it was relatively lively. But there were 20,000 troops stationed inside the imperial city, and 200,000 troops were stationed outside the imperial city. This shows that Yu Qianrou is very difficult now, and she can only ensure the safety of the imperial city first, and then arrange all the heavy troops around the imperial city! She now has a total of five or six hundred thousand horses! It's stretched! And those families are all ready to move, once the 'British king' is sealed, other families will also propose to seal the king's fiefdom and operate independently! So this time, the 'British King' must not be sealed!

Zhu Xiaobao also walked around the imperial city for several days, he was looking for any business or channel that could quickly improve people's livelihood, and now it seems that he still has to start with burning knives, and the actions here are also very simple like Xiyuan City, and the output is not high. Beans are the most productive and popular crop, so they give Zhu Xiaobao the conditions to return to his old business!

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the date of the martial arts competition arrived, Zhu Xiaobao was still sitting in the carriage, following Zhu Rong and them, but they entered the martial arts arena of the imperial city smoothly.

Although Yu Qianrou's strength is limited, the momentum of the martial arts arena is very majestic now, with flags fluttering everywhere, and 20,000 soldiers standing in a circle around the martial arts arena. And the major families have also arrived one after another.

Although the number of the Vermilion Bird clan is not large, the inheritance clan of the divine beast bloodline is still very respected, and their location is very high, not very far from the point of the platform, and it is less than a hundred steps away!

Finally, those families have arrived, and Yu Qianrou, the emperor of the Northern Zirui Kingdom, also drove in slowly! There are 5,000 Royal Forest troops in front and behind!

Zhu Xiaobao stretched his neck and looked forward to it, what kind of person is his third sister?
