Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Prince's Request
The dean softened his surprised expression and said, "If you want the ring light, then you have to follow me to see the prince."
"What does this have to do with the Prince?" Ye Cheng asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"On that day, I was ordered by the prince to go to Shuide County to investigate the strange construction. When I entered the building, I saw a circular object lying flat in the room, and it was still glowing blue, but when we moved it, the blue light disappeared. After bringing it back, he told the prince in detail, and the prince named him Huanguang," the dean explained.
"See" Hearing these two words, Ye Cheng was quite surprised! Hurriedly asked, "Dean, what you meant just now is that there is only a ring light in the house?" ā
"Not bad," the dean said firmly.
Ye Cheng was suddenly surprised! The ring light mentioned by the dean should be the same as the one seen in Oasis County before, a circular traversal tool. Soon, he gradually became suspicious, if the ring light was still on when the dean arrived, it should prove that there was electricity, but Ye Cheng didn't see any generators or anything like that near the strange building.
"What the hell is going on?" Ye Cheng held his chin with his right hand and said secretly in his heart.
At this time, I heard the dean's request again, "Huanguang is in the courtyard now, if you want to get Huanguang, please follow me to meet the prince."
Ye Cheng raised his head and stared at the dean, thinking, "Why did the dean insist on letting me go to see the prince, is there anything else?" ā
Seeing Ye Cheng's thoughtful eyes, the dean seemed to have guessed something, and then said, "The prince has no malicious intentions, he just wants to meet you." And if you want to take the ring light, you must get the prince's permission."
There is no way, this ring light device may be good, Ye Cheng thought that he would need to use it when he went home in the future. And now the dean has used seeing the prince as a bargaining chip, coercing and luring Ye Cheng to see the prince. Ye Cheng had no choice but to say helplessly, "Okay, I'll go with you to see the prince"
"Thank you," the dean replied, then turned and walked towards the door.
"Ziping take it, I'll go with the eighth brother to see Prince Xiao Guo" At this time, Zhu Zi'an's voice came from behind him.
When I turned my head, I saw that everyone had stopped what they were doing and looked over, and their eyes were a little solemn. They had already heard what they said just now, and they should be worried that something would happen after seeing the prince.
"You don't have to worry, it's just to see the prince, there shouldn't be anything wrong," Ye Cheng said with a smile.
"Don't forget what Brother Wu said," Bai Yingping said with a solemn face.
"Hmm," Ye Cheng nodded.
After Zhu Zi'an walked to his side, the two walked out of the door, followed the dean, and walked in the aisle. I walked out of the walkway on the cobblestone path, passed through several courtyards, and returned to the walkway with triangular tiled eaves again, and after walking far, I saw the gate of Shubunin Temple in the distance on the right side of the walkway. Looking further down the aisle, there was the big house facing the courtyard gate.
He followed the dean into the large, somewhat dimly lit house, and saw a man dressed in yellow with his back to the door. The men's service was bright and bright, embroidered with dragon motifs, and a brown belt was tied around his waist, and a smooth and bright round jadeite jade was hung from the belt.
The dean walked behind the man on the left, bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have already brought the person."
The man immediately turned around and happily lifted the dean up. Then he looked over with a smile on his face, and his eyes kept looking under Ye Cheng. Suddenly, his head tilted towards the dean next to him, and said, "Sure enough, as Academician Twilight said, I really haven't seen the clothes on his body."
Immediately afterwards, the prince bowed to Ye Cheng and replied, "Thank you for helping the Xiuwen Academy survive this crisis."
Seeing the prince make such a big salute, Ye Cheng was a little surprised! also quickly bowed in return. He knew that in ancient society, the crown prince had a noble status, and in addition to saluting the emperor, it was a loss of identity to salute anyone. Unless that person knows someone and has some special abilities.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'll just say it directly. This time, I want to help Xiuwen Academy to get the ring light, so I ask the prince to give me the ring light," Ye Cheng said.
"Ring Light?" The prince looked at the dean with some hesitation.
The dean explained what had just happened to the prince. The prince smiled and said, "That's the case, the ring light will be yours from now on." Just ....."
Before he heard the prince finish speaking, Ye Cheng raised his head and looked at the prince, only to see that he had a serious face, as if he was thinking about something.
"Does the prince want to repent?" Ye Cheng asked.
"No, the Ring Light is already yours at the moment, and Academician Twilight will take you to the place where the Ring Light is stored later." The prince said solemnly.
"What's that?"
The crown prince pondered for a while with a serious face and said, "I want you to stay and help me, the strange printing method you taught to Academician Dusk is something that Xiao Guo has never seen, and your costume is unseen and unheard of in the Seven Kingdoms." Presumably you are a person with special talents, and if I can get your help, my position as the crown prince will be more secure."
Sure enough, he asked for something, and the dean insisted on letting Ye Cheng see the prince, and he had already guessed it in his heart. But he didn't want to get involved in a royal struggle for power.
Ye Cheng flatly refused, "I'm sorry, I won't help you, and I'm not as powerful as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said." ā
Hearing this, the prince's serious expression began to panic, and he said, "Why? What do you want, money? Offices? Whatever you want, as long as I can ......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Hearing that the prince wanted to use money, women, and official positions to keep himself, Ye Cheng immediately stopped the prince from continuing.
Seeing the crown prince stop, Ye Cheng continued, "Before I came to Xiao Kingdom, someone mentioned to me that the matter between the prince and the third prince, I don't want to get involved in your dispute over power and profit. So the prince, you put ten thousand taels of gold and all kinds of exquisite jade, even if you give me the position of the prince, I am not interested. I just want the ring light, because in another place there are more important things waiting for me than money, women, official positions"
After listening to Ye Cheng's words, the prince was silent, with a guilty face.
Then he bowed down to Ye Cheng again, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought everyone had something to ask for, as long as you gave enough conditions, you could get that person's help." Looks like I was wrong."
Seeing the prince like this, the dean asked with a worried face, "Prince, are you okay?" ā
"It's okay, Academician Dusk, you can take them to the place," the prince said in a low voice, his head lowered.
The dean seemed to be unable to bear to see the prince like this, turned his head to look at Ye Cheng, and persuaded him, "Child, the old man wants to fight for the prince again." Now the difference between the power of the crown prince and the third prince is too great, and there is a possibility of being pulled down at any time. And the three princes used the powerful military ability of the Broken Stone Pavilion to oppress the villages and counties in the Xiao Kingdom. Although the crown prince and I secretly established the Thunder Slayer Army to fight against it, the ability of the Academy of Scholars is limited and we cannot compete with it."
Thunder Killer Army! Hearing these three words, Ye Cheng turned his head to look at Zhu Zi'an in surprise.
The two looked at each other. At this time, a man in a robe hurriedly ran in and ran to the dean's ear and said something. The dean's face gradually darkened.
