Text Chapter 18 A First Exploration of the Dragon Palace

This Jianwei has also been peeping at the Dragon Court throne for a long time. It's just that the dragon king thinks that this son is too narrow-minded, likes to make enemies and grudges with others, and doesn't like his tyrannical personality, so he is not interested in him.

In the heart of the dragon king, he relied more on the eldest son, the prisoner cow and the eighth son. Although the eldest son has mediocre qualifications, the royal family has always had a tradition of passing on the elders rather than the young, and although this prisoner cow has mediocre qualifications, he has a gentle personality and a kind heart, which is very beneficial to the unity of the brothers in the future.

The eight sons are the most optimistic successors of the Dragon King, this negative is orthodox, naturally noble, and also smart and studious, but there is no great ambition. However, the Dragon King thinks that this is not important, the Dragon King once said privately that as long as he finds a good and virtuous minister to complement the eight sons, he will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Dragon Court.

The two sons sensed the dragon king's mind and thought that he had little hope of ascending to the throne, so he decided to take action to preemptively attack.

So on a dark night, Jairus suddenly sent troops to surround the Dragon Palace and forced the Dragon King to write a book of succession. In this way, Jairus finally inherited the throne justifiably. However, he imprisoned his father.

After becoming the dragon king, he got carried away, and the old dragon king had been imprisoned and had no constraints, so he acted recklessly, excluded dissidents in the dragon palace, and acted perversely. For a time, Beihai was panicked and uneasy.

This Jairus was not treated well by his father since he was a child, and he grew up in adversity, which also laid the foundation for his distorted psychology. After he ascended to the throne of the Dragon Court, the strong contrast of status made him arrogant and lose himself, and his true nature was exposed. After stabilizing his throne, he became more and more uncontrollable and unscrupulous. Not only did he act mischiefly in Beihai, but because of his tyrannical and self-righteous personality, he couldn't listen to any different opinions, and he actually began to neglect the will of the heavenly court. This gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the Heavenly Court. The heavenly court began to issue orders to blame and warn him. However, this Jianwei could not listen to any accusations against him, and the accusations of the Heavenly Court instead stimulated his rebellious mentality, and he took the accusations and warnings as a deaf ear, and then despised the Heavenly Court even more.

The Jade Emperor sensed that something was wrong, and issued a strict order to punish him, and sent a special envoy to the Dragon Palace to pass the decree, asking him to reform himself, and to admit his mistake to the heavenly court within a time limit and make a promise that he would never do it again.

Seeing that the words in the holy decree were harsh and harsh, he felt disgraced, and immediately became furious, tore the holy decree in front of him, and also hurried back to the heavenly court after insulting and beating the envoys sent by the heavenly court.

After the envoy returned to the heavenly court, he told the Jade Emperor what Jairus had done, and the Jade Emperor was furious, so he prepared to send soldiers to arrest Jairus.

This Jianwei heard the rumors, and did not want to be caught, ready to give it a go, so he began to mobilize men and horses to strengthen the guard and reorganize the armament. For a while, Beihai was panicked, and the undercurrent was surging, seeing that a bloody storm was coming.

This dragon king has already prepared to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and is ready to start the North Sea to stop the heavenly soldiers once the heavenly soldiers come, and at the same time flood the people, in order to let the heavenly court relieve the disaster and distract the heavenly court.

Xiaokong learned about these situations, remembered the situation of the people being affected by the disaster three years ago, presumably it was also the work of this bastard dragon king, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and scold, what a vicious dragon king, he did not repent of his own sins but wanted to pull the people to back his back. Determined to eradicate the evil dragon and rid the people of evil.

Xiao Kong asked about the situation of the Crab Soldier Dragon Palace's troop allocation. Knowing that the Dragon King was on guard to meet the heavenly soldiers, the Dragon Palace was heavily guarded, and a large number of soldiers and horses were stationed inside and outside the palace, and the guards were increased.

Xiaokong released the crab soldier, and asked him to go back to report the news, and let him say: There is an uncle Sun who is here to take the life of the dragon king's dog, and he wants him to prepare early, wash his neck and wait.

Xiaokong observed around the Dragon Palace again, and knew that he was going to find a place to rest first, and then fight with the Dragon King when he had enough energy.

The next day, after eating and drinking, Xiaokong came to the Dragon Palace, he chose a higher place to observe the movement inside, and found that the Dragon Palace was already crowded, covered with white paper and white cloth, and the big red palace lamp on the gate was also taken down and replaced with a white paper lantern. There were still bursts of crying from the crowd, which turned out to be a funeral for the dead four princes.

Xiaokong thought to himself, the other party is doing a funeral, is it too unkind to go to disturb at this time, even if he wins, he will not win, maybe in the future, he will end up with a reputation of taking advantage of people's danger. But when I thought about it, this dragon king's misdeeds killed so many innocent people in the world, and I felt that he was to blame, and he couldn't decide what to do for a while. Just as Xiaokong was hesitating, two black shadows suddenly jumped down from the opposite wall, and the black shadows entered the courtyard and walked straight through the crowd to the apse. Although the faces of the people who came could not be seen from a long distance, a black shadow could be faintly seen, wearing armor with a black veil and holding a sword. While Sora was watching, he could only hear the sound of a fight coming from the backyard, followed by screams and shouts, "Catch the assassin" and "Don't let the assassin escape!" The sound came and went, accompanied by the sound of weapons colliding. It turned out that two assassins had a fierce battle with the guards of Ryugu.

As the shouts came out, another team of soldiers with weapons in the backyard of the Dragon Palace rushed to the scene of the fight, and then more sounds of gold and iron resonating came out. But it didn't take long for the sound of the fight to stop suddenly, and then two black shadows rushed out, one in front of the other and the other straight towards the original high wall, and the Dragon Palace guards followed closely behind. In the blink of an eye, the two black shadows had already jumped up the wall, and then turned and ran towards a nearby hillside. The Dragon Palace guards chased under the wall and stopped chasing, looking at the wall and sighing. It turned out that the two assassins could not withstand the siege of many guards, so they voluntarily stopped the fight and gave up the operation.

Seeing the two Assassins escaping from the compound, Koku followed closely behind. He wanted to find out the situation and see who was coming. The two black shadows were very fast, and after running up the hill, they turned around and then ran in another direction, and Xiao Kong followed all the way, and found that the place where the two assassins were running was an open area between the two mountains, and there were already some people waiting there in the open space. When these people saw the two Assassins returning, they hurriedly asked, "How is it, has the operation been successful?"

The two Assassins shook their heads, and then removed the black veil covering their faces. It turned out that they were people from the Heavenly Court.

Sora found a place not far from them and hid. Only one of the assassins could be heard say, "The Dragon Palace is heavily guarded, and it has not succeeded. He said to a man who looked like a leader: "How should this be good, how to explain to the heavenly general when I go back." Then he asked the Assassin:

"How many guards are there in the Dragon Palace?"

The Assassin replied, "Quite a few, estimated in the hundreds." ”

The leader looked humane: "It seems that the dragon king has already taken precautions. ”

The Assassin nodded.

The leader-looking man replied, "Doesn't that look like you can do it?" as if he were talking to himself and to the Assassin on the other side.

The assassin nodded and said, "There are too many guards to get close to the harem, so there is really no way to attack." ”

After a while, the men straightened their ranks and headed for another place outside the mountain.

Xiao Hollow thought to himself, it seems that the Dragon Palace is indeed heavily guarded, but fortunately he didn't make a move. However, this has already alarmed the dragon king, and the dragon king's actions will definitely be more cautious and more vigilant, so that it will be more difficult to act in the future.

Xiao Hollow thought to himself, okay, the Dragon Palace is doing a funeral, and the water will not flood the people for a while and a half, and slow down, and it will not be too late for him to come back after the funeral, so that the Dragon King can also relax his vigilance. At the same time, I have been underwater for more than a day, and I am already a little uncomfortable.

It turns out that Xiaokong has been living on land, although the master has taught him the skill of drilling into the sea before, but he still can't adapt to this long time under the sea, he feels a little stuffy in his chest, some can't breathe, and he needs to go to land to breathe some air. If you go to land, you can also take advantage of this time to practice the golden hammer and practice some applicable moves.
