Chapter 454: Invitations and Low-hanging Benefits
After talking for a long time, Mi Tianque finally gave a solution that was not a solution, that is, to invite people out first, and everyone would meet to get acquainted with it, and then it would depend on the situation.
For this method that is not a solution, Mi Fusheng can only respond for the time being. After all, a room of people discussed for a long time and didn't give any way, compared to Mi Tianque's suggestion, at least there is some real significance, so Mi Fusheng can only pull out the general in the dwarf and make it difficult for him to arrange it for the time being.
"What? Let me go to Yizhou Island?"
When he heard the will conveyed by Ah Xiang, to be honest, Tianyou was confused. Originally, he thought that he could go back after meeting with many princes and ministers, but who knew that he had already begun to prepare for going back, but the king of Chu suddenly made a decree to let him go back to Yizhou Island with the king of Yizhou.
"Didn't you say that you just need to meet with everyone?Why did you suddenly want me to go to Yizhou Island?" Tianyou asked Ah Xiang, who was in charge of the message, puzzled. Because Tianyou's identity is not completely public at present, the so-called will should actually be regarded as an oracle, and it is not the palace attendant who is sent to pass it on, but Ah Xiang as the liaison.
It's a pity that Ah Xiang didn't dare to understand the king's will at will, so it was not easy to answer Tianyou's question. Fortunately, not long after Ah Xiang came back, Ji Yao also rushed over, as if she came specifically for this matter.
After Tianyou saw Ji Yao, he asked the previous question again, and Ji Yao obviously communicated with the King of Chu, so he knew more comprehensively.
After Ji Yao's explanation, Tianyou finally understood why the King of Chu had such an arrangement.
It turned out that after the night banquet last night, the king of Yizhou suddenly came to meet him early this morning and asked Tianyou to return to Yizhou Island with him. There is no reason to refuse this invitation to the King of Chu, and the reason for Mi Fusheng is also very sufficient, that is, Mrs. Ni, the biological mother of the King of Yizhou.
This Mrs. Ni is actually not the wife of the current Chu King Mi Fuxin, but the previous Chu King, that is, a palace maid who was fortunate enough for Mi Fuxin's father in the past. But unlike ordinary palace maids, Mrs. Ni actually gave birth to a son for the previous King of Chu, which is now the king of Yizhou. In other words, Mrs. Ni is actually Mi Fusheng's mother.
Originally, the sons of the previous king of Chu were born to different women, which is not a strange thing, after all, it is normal for the king of a country to have multiple women. It is said that the current King of Chu and his father's woman should have nothing to do directly.
However, there is a situation in this, and that is the growth environment of Fenfuxin back then.
Because Mrs. Ni was just a palace maid back then, the king of Chu directly transferred the custody of Mi Fusheng to his concubine, that is, the current king of Chu and his mother. Therefore, to outsiders, Mi Fusheng and Mi Fuxin should be regarded as brothers of the same father and mother, but in fact they are half-brothers.
However, although Mi Fusheng was transferred to the name of the concubine in terms of status, the previous king of Chu did this to protect Mi Fusheng and not to persecute their mother and son, so although the name was transferred, it actually made Mrs. Ni a nanny for the two children, and she took care of Mi Fusheng and Mi Fuxin with her own hands. Since Mrs. Ni was originally a palace maid, no one felt that there was anything wrong with this arrangement, and it could be said that everyone was happy.
You can imagine what happened after that. Although Mi Fusheng's biological mother was not a concubine, he failed to inherit the throne, but because Mi Fusheng and Mi Fuxin basically grew up together, the relationship between the two is very good, otherwise it would be impossible for the current King of Chu to give him the king of Yizhou in a good manner.
You must know that although Yizhou Island is called an island, its area is really not small, which is enough to cover one-fifth of the land area of Chu. With such a large piece of land, if it weren't for the extremely close relationship, how could the King of Chu dare to divide it into an almost independent small kingdom?
Of course, these are all political influences, but what really affects this will today is the emotional impact.
Of course, the concubine in the palace will not take care of the children with a handful of and urine like ordinary mothers, although the mother of the king of Chu has always kept the two children by her side, but in fact, the one who really has the most contact with the two brothers is Mrs. Ni, who is directly responsible for taking care of the living life of the two.
To put it simply, King Chu and his mother are similar to a strong woman who works from 9 to 5, and she is with her children every day, but she doesn't meet and communicate much. On the contrary, Mrs. Ni is like a full-time childcare nanny, revolving around the children every day. In addition, she was actually grateful for the arrangement of the King of Chu and Concubine Zheng back then, so she did not have any favoritism for Mi Fusheng and Mi Fuxin, and it can be said that they were all taken as their own children.
Of course, the likes and dislikes of these children are very direct, and whoever is good to them, they will be good to them. Mrs. Ni regards Mi Fuxin as her own, and this Mi Fuxin is naturally extremely close to Mrs. Ni. And because the former King of Chu did not deliberately hide Mrs. Ni's true identity from the two brothers Mi Fuxin and Mi Fusheng, so after the death of the former King of Chu, Mi Fuxin simply gave Mrs. Ni the identity of Mrs. Ni, and named Mi Fusheng the king of Yizhou, and asked him to take Mrs. Ni to Yizhou Island. Such an honor has shown how deep the affection of Mi Fuxin for the mother and son of Mi Fusheng and Mrs. Ni is.
After this, Mi Fuxin's biological mother died, and he naturally respected Mrs. Ni as his adoptive mother even more. After all, in addition to the brothers, there is only this adoptive mother left.
Now Mi Fusheng suddenly proposed to take Tianyou back to Yizhou Island to let Mrs. Ni meet the little prince who disappeared back then, and Mi Fuxin really didn't know how to refuse. After all, Mrs. Ni was really good to him, when the little prince disappeared, Mrs. Ni was also in a hurry, and she still insisted on coming to the royal city to visit their husband and wife in person at such an old age, which shows the love and affection. If You is found today, it is reasonable not to let Mrs. Ni see each other. But after all, Mrs. Ni is old, and she is not a monk, and it is a miracle that she is still alive now, so she can't be allowed to come to the royal city to see Tianyou anymore, right?
Originally, it was okay if Mi Fusheng didn't say it, but now that he made a formal request, the King of Chu couldn't refuse it because of reason, so he didn't say hello to Tianyou at all, and directly agreed to this request. Of course, even if it is unreasonable, the King of Chu will not discuss it with Tianyou. After all, he is also the king of a country, and even if he is a monk who is not from his country, he will naturally not be polite to his son.
After knowing the cause and effect from Ji Yao, Tianyou could only acquiesce in this decision, anyway, the holy decree has been made, if he openly resists the decree, the king of Chu may not really do anything to him, but it seems inappropriate to openly resist the decree for this kind of thing. After a little weighing, Tianyou accepted this decision, and he should go to say hello to the old man.
Of course, Tianyou knew that Mi Fusheng would probably not call him to Yizhou Island just to see the old lady. Ji Yao also has a clear understanding of this, and she also took the initiative to mention this matter to Tianyou. It's just that like Tianyou, Ji Yao didn't know what King Yizhou had in mind, but just reminded him to be careful in everything.
Ji Yao and Tianyou are both thoughtful people, and the way of talking is very jumpy, and some things are clear to both sides, so naturally there is no need to elaborate, but the tiger girl who is listening on the side is a little incomprehensible. Recently, she followed Tianyou to the King City of Chu, and Hu Niu is also trying to learn the behavior and habits of human beings. Although she has little experience, she is not stupid, and she understands some basic principles of how to behave in the world. But just because she didn't understand it, she couldn't understand Tianyou and Ji Yao's words.
"Biyou Fairy, you said that the King of Yizhou would hurt the master, but this time it was his initiative to invite, and Yizhou Island is his territory, if something happens to the master on his territory, doesn't he have to be responsible?"
Ji Yao was about to explain when Tianyou preemptively interrupted: "The injury doesn't have to be physical, it can also be reputational. ”
"Reputation?"
Tiger Niu didn't seem to understand a little, but she didn't continue to ask. Ji Yao kindly explained to her, and then started chatting with Tianyou again about the things that need to be paid attention to on this trip. However, instead of paying attention to her own safety, Ji Yao talked more about the interpersonal relationships on Yizhou Island. After all, if you are not familiar with life, it is easy to suffer if you suddenly run over. Even if he holds the title of crown prince, if he does not accurately recognize the structure of local forces, he may still be in a passive position.
Of course, in just one afternoon, Ji Yao couldn't tell Tianyou everything, she could only say a rough idea.
Mi Fusheng can be said to attach great importance to this invitation, and he moves extremely quickly. Early in the morning, he made a wish to the King of Chu, and spent a day for the King of Chu to fully communicate with Tianyou, and he came to see Tianyou in person that night.
When he was notified that King Yizhou asked to see him, Tianyou was also quite surprised. Although he knew that the other party would definitely meet him before leaving, Tianyou really didn't expect that Qi Fusheng would come so soon.
"Please. Because it was too sudden, Tianyou also reacted a little for a while, and only after finishing saying did he realize that it was so inappropriate, and hurriedly called the housekeeper, "Wait a minute." I'll go to the door to greet you myself. ”
If you follow the normal rules, Tianyou is a prince, and his status should be higher than that of the prince. But now the situation is slightly different. First, although Tianyou's identity has been disclosed internally, it has not been officially recorded in the clan records, which means that he is not actually a prince in terms of procedure. The second is that this Mi Fusheng is not an ordinary prince, but the actual king of Yizhou, whose status is close to that of a king side by side. In other words, the king of Chu recognized that Mi Fusheng was equal to himself. Of course, in fact, it is impossible to be truly equal, but at least it shows that the identity of the king of Yizhou is not ordinary.
Because of these two circumstances, Tianyou is not suitable to wait for Mi Fusheng to see him in the house now, but must take the initiative to greet him.
The housekeeper arranged by the King of Chu for Tianyou has also seen the world, and he did not stop the King of Yizhou from the mansion in a daze, but had already let him enter the front hall, and he was drinking tea at this time.
A slight surprise. When Tianyou saw Mi Fusheng, he found that he had come in civilian clothes, and there were only two people with him behind him. In addition to Mi Fusheng himself, there was also a handsome and beautiful young man who could be called a demon and a terrifying existence that looked very ordinary, but his spiritual power was comparable to a humanoid volcano under the divine vision.
The ritual system of the Shenzhou Continent is slightly different from that of the ancient earth, but it is generally similar. As the king of Yizhou, wearing casual clothes to visit people's homes is almost equivalent to the meaning of modern people wearing pajamas and running to people's doors. If it weren't for the need to hide your identity and visit secretly because of some circumstances, this kind of behavior can only mean to show closeness. Especially when there are so few people in his entourage, even if he brings a master, the meaning of showing favor is quite obvious.
Of course, this kind of overture is only a show of goodwill on the surface, and as for how much sincerity there is, only he knows it.
"Nephew Tianyou to see Uncle Wang. "Compared with calling other people's parents, calling Uncle Sheng is much easier. After all, no matter how you say it, Mi Fusheng is many years older than Tianyou, and Uncle Sheng is not at a loss. Moreover, Mi Fusheng is an "outsider" to Tianyou, so he can't be as casual as King Chu and Ji Yao, even if he cares, this uncle can't be saved. Of course, the so-called greeting is actually just a bow, after all, he is a prince, even if he sees the king of Chu, he generally does not need to kneel, let alone face Mi Fusheng.
"God bless my nephew, hurry up and excuse me. You are the crown prince and I am a courtier, so I should salute you. As he spoke, Mi Fusheng straightened Tianyou's upper body, and then he was going to bow down.
Tianyou didn't know if he was really polite or fake, but he definitely couldn't let him worship this time, so he hurriedly held his elbow. Fortunately, Mi Fusheng didn't insist, and it was okay if he was blocked by Tianyou.
After the two finished politely, they both sat down, and then began to talk about Tianyou's experience over the years. Usually Tianyou is talking, and Mi Fusheng occasionally asks out loud.
Tianyou didn't hide anything from Mi Fusheng, anyway, his experience over the years can basically be checked, it can be regarded as innocent, and there is no need to hide it. Besides, he is a prince who suddenly appeared, and as a prince, it is reasonable for people to ask more.
Compared with the content introduced at last night's meeting, Tianyou said in much detail this time, and occasionally had to answer some questions from Mi Fusheng. Qi Fusheng was also listening very seriously, sighing from time to time.
After talking about his own experience, Tianyou finally had the opportunity to guide the topic. He asked out loud, "I wonder if Uncle Wang came tonight to invite his nephew to Yizhou Island?"
Qi Fusheng nodded directly, "Not bad." In the morning, I asked the imperial brother for his will, and I thought I still wanted to talk to you, so I came. Why? Didn't bother you, did you?"
"Uncle Wang can come to visit his nephew, and it's too late for his nephew to be happy, but I don't know when Uncle Wang plans to return, and my nephew should prepare early. ”
"That's what I'm here for. Qi Fusheng said: "My Yizhou Island is good at everything, but I live far overseas, and this is a little inconvenient." You may not know that this sea is no better than the land, it is unpredictable and unpredictable. If there is bad weather, it will be the end of the ship's wreckage. Although monks like you and I can barely protect themselves, there are still many ordinary people in the team after all, so the itinerary still needs to be determined by the weather. ”
"Then I don't know how the weather has been lately?" Tianyou had actually guessed what Mi Fusheng meant, but he still had to pretend not to know and ask.
Sure enough, Mi Fusheng continued: "I brought a boatman who can understand the changes in the sky and say that the wind and waves have been calm for the past few days, but after half a month, I am afraid that a big storm is coming, but I will not be able to go to sea." So for the sake of safety, it is better for us to set off as soon as possible. Uncle Huang, I have ordered someone to clean up and stop, and I can leave tomorrow. I don't know if my nephew has anything important to do, but if it's really important, then I can wait for you for a few more days. ”
Qi Fusheng's words just didn't intend to let Tianyou drag it back. People have said that everything is ready, just waiting for you, can Tianyou really let them wait for themselves? But Tianyou doesn't have anything to arrange anyway, but he doesn't care much. Anyway, you have to fill this trip sooner or later, and it's better to leave early than late. If you don't prepare, won't people have time to prepare anything? Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more things people can prepare on their own territory than God blesses.
"Anyway, my nephew doesn't have anything to prepare, since Uncle Wang is ready to stop, let's leave tomorrow. ”
"Okay, then I won't bother you. You're going to be on your way tomorrow, so you should rest early. ”
It was another polite way to send Mi Fusheng out of the house. As soon as the gate closed, the smiles on the faces of the two people inside and outside the gate of this mansion immediately converged. However, there was nothing to say on either side, Tianyou returned directly to the inner house, and Mi Fusheng also took the two behind him back to his house without looking back.
Back in the hall just now, Tianyou looked at Qi Xiaomei and them, thought for a while, and said, "You go to rest first, I have to go to the palace for a trip, you don't have to wait for me." ”
"It's so late, senior brother, what are you doing in the palace?" Qi Xiaomei was obviously a little worried.
Tianyou shook his head and didn't explain, but comforted: "It's okay, it's just that there is a wish gone." Originally, I was going to ask my father later, but now that I'm going to Yizhou Island, I don't know how long it will be delayed, so I don't want to wait any longer. As he spoke, he turned to Ah Xiang, who was standing aside, and said, "Take me into the palace, I have something to see my father." ”
Although Ah Xiang didn't know what Tianyou was going to do, she didn't ask much, bowed down and asked Tianyou to go first, and then quickly followed.
On the other side, Mi Fusheng returned to his mansion, waited until he sat down in the study, and immediately asked, "Do you see anything?"
Just followed Mi Fusheng to see Tianyou was naturally Mi Tianque and the purple-clothed man with extremely high cultivation. The purple-clothed man is mainly responsible for protecting the safety of Mi Fusheng, and Mi Tianque is naturally to observe Tianyou.
Hearing Mi Fusheng's inquiry, Mi Tianque immediately replied: "Father, don't worry. No matter how smart a child is, it is impossible for him to see through a person with just one side, right?" Seeing that Qi Fusheng's face was not good, he hurriedly added: "But this trip is not in vain, and some problems can still be seen." ”
"Oh, tell me what you see?"
"Is this ...... The main thing is ......"
When Mi Tianque introduced his perception of Tianyou to Mi Fusheng, Tianyou had already left the courtyard gate and went straight to the palace.
Originally, the palace city was going to lock and seal the door at night, but these two days were special circumstances, and the king of Chu at the palace gate specially greeted him, and Tianyou could enter and leave at any time. After all, he still has the identity of a red night guard, and it is not surprising that there is an emergency to enter and leave the palace gate.
The king of Chu was also a monk and didn't sleep much, so he was correcting the recital at this time. There have been a lot of things in the past two days, and the government affairs have been suppressed, and he is busy reviewing them at this time. I was a little surprised to hear the chamberlain report that Tianyou was coming, but I still asked people to call Tianyou in.
"Father. "God bless the rules and bows. He's seen it now, too. Anyway, there is other people's blood flowing in this body, and it is also appropriate to call Daddy.
King Chu nodded, waved his hand to excuse him, and then asked, "It's so late, is there something wrong with you?"
Tianyou immediately nodded and replied, "That's right." Just now, Uncle Wang came to inform him of the itinerary to Yizhou Island, and in order to avoid the wind and waves, he needs to leave as soon as possible, so Erchen and Uncle Wang will set off tomorrow. Thinking that you want to go to court early, it is inconvenient to come and say goodbye in the morning, so I came over overnight to say goodbye to my father. ”
The king of Chu didn't react to this, and after two sentences, he asked him if he had anything to do, which meant "I'm still busy, you can go back if it's okay."
Of course, Tianyou came to the palace at night not simply to say goodbye, his purpose was quite clear.
"Father, in fact, the son has a reluctant request. ”
King Chu's words just now were just polite, thinking that Tianyou would leave, but he didn't expect him to really have something else. So he asked, "What do you want me to answer?"
Tianyou immediately clasped his hands into fists and bowed down ninety degrees, "Erchen wants to go to the vault to stay overnight before leaving." ”
"Treasury?" King Chu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted that Tianyou was not talking about the treasury where the silver money was stored, but 'that' vault. "Are you talking about the vault in the temple?"
"Exactly. Tianyou said seriously: "Erchen participated in the national sports mission last year and was fortunate to come into contact with the BRICS. Maybe my father has also heard that the son of the prince followed Zhenyuan to learn the art of Shangxian in Zixiao Palace, and studied refining and making tools. This gold brick is strangely indestructible, and it can easily break through the aura shield. Erchen was very curious about these strange attributes, and he also studied them in the treasury of the Qin State for a day. It's a pity that the treasury is heavy, and although Erchen has made great contributions to the task of Qin's national fortune, he is still only promised a one-day time limit. Now that I know that Erchen's identity is actually my Dachu Prince, so Erchen wants to ......"
Tianyou's reason can be said to be sufficient, and now is not the period of the National Games mission, if someone fouls and snatches the gold bricks, it will not only be hunted down and killed by the people of Chu, but also by the ten countries of Shenzhou and the major sects at the same time. Besides, where is Tianyou's identity, others can't go to the vault, and there is really no reason to refuse him, a prince.
King Chu hesitated slightly, thinking that there would be nothing to lose if he saw it, and his heart was loosened. asked him why he didn't wait to come back from Yizhou Island to see it, and after learning that he had been itching for a long time and couldn't wait, he didn't refuse again, and Tianyou was very happy and hurried to thank him.
Since he knew that Mi Fusheng had other plans for inviting him to Yizhou Island, Tianyou naturally would not fail to make any preparations. And this vault is the biggest guarantee he can think of at the moment.
Since the last time he made such a big move in the Qin State Vault, Tianyou found that the Emperor Dao Sword had simply become his charger during this time. It seemed to be injecting the yellow lightning it had absorbed from the gold bricks that day into his body, bit by bit. And with this infusion, Tianyou found that the speed of his cultivation was getting faster and faster. Compared with the progress of spiritual power, the progress of physical fitness is even more terrifying.
Tianyou thought that since he only absorbed the gold bricks in the treasury of the Qin State at the beginning, what if he also absorbed the golden energy hidden in the gold bricks of the Chu State? In order to deal with the possible threat of Qi Fusheng, every power could not be missed by him. What's more, it is so big, and such a power at your fingertips, naturally you can't miss it. As for whether it will trample on the Taimiao of Chu this time...... How can he manage so much now? Just be careful, last time he suffered a loss that he didn't understand, but this time he came prepared.
