Volume 1: The Conquest of the Four Directions Chapter 34: The Three Princes
"How do you know!" the woman swept away her previous weightless expression, looked at Ye Wu with a shocked face and asked.
"Guess, after all, in the entire Nanzhou City, there are only a handful of people who can drive you to do something like you. Ye Wu said slowly.
She said with some confusion: "You found me early in the morning, but I wonder why you didn't reveal my whereabouts earlier?"
"The reason is simple, because I want to make a deal with your master. Ye Wu chuckled.
"Talk about business..."
Ye Wu saw that the woman was a little hesitant, his expression remained unchanged, and said, "What's the matter?"
"No... This is very good, my master also has intentions, and today he specially asked me to come here to invite Ye Gongzi to go to the Central Restaurant for a while. The woman leaned down slightly and said respectfully.
"Lead the way. Ye Wu signaled.
The woman took Ye Wu to a more famous tavern in Central, and the two entered it, during which some people were a little curious about the woman's dress, but whenever they saw the golden sign on the woman's waist, they were like seeing a plague god, and they retreated and kept a certain distance from her.
"Ye Gongzi, please. The woman took a small step to the side to make way for Ye Wu.
"Brother Ye, don't come unharmed. There was a hearty sound at the end of the stairs, and then, a person appeared in front of Ye Wu's eyes.
This person is tall, wearing white clothes and a light coat outside, it is none other than the third prince who was expelled from Nanzhou - Jiang Daocheng.
Ye Wu felt the sudden change in the atmosphere around him, and thought in his heart, is he the third prince?
He looked at this person, the corners of this person's mouth rose slightly, and the arrogance between his eyebrows was not revealed, this kind of courage could not be possessed unless he had been in a high position for a long time, he saluted at this person and said, "How is it, Ye Mou is not late, right?"
"What are you talking about, Brother Ye, you and my father are like brothers, we are naturally a family, come and have a drink with our brothers. Jiang Daocheng said, and took Ye Wu to the private room, "Mengyuan, you are watching outside, and Brother Ye and I are not allowed to enter." ”
As soon as these words came out, the woman named Mengyuan replied respectfully, stopped outside the door, and stayed outside.
After instructing the woman, Jiang Daocheng turned around, looked at Ye Wu and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Ye, the wine and food have already been Peiqi, you and I will enter the house for a while." ”
From Ye Wu's point of view, he could just see that the afterglow of his eyes fell on Ye Ling's body, Ye Wu was not a stupid person, even if he reacted.
"You wait here. Ye Wu instructed, it's not that he can't trust Ye Ling, but in order to follow Jiang Daocheng's meaning, after all, people are the master and he is the guest.
After a long time, Jiang Daocheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Ye, please." ”
Ye Wu was the same, and after that, the two of them entered the room.
The layout of the house is simple, one table and two chairs, and a few pots of unknown flowers and plants are placed inside, as soon as he enters the house, Ye Wu feels a faint fragrance coming to his face, Ye Wu sniffed, and found that this incense actually has a refreshing effect, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Seeing this, Jiang Daocheng chuckled and opened his mouth to introduce.
"These are the favors I asked a few days ago to help me go to the barbarian area, there is nothing special about these flowers alone, but if they are placed together in a room, they will produce a strange fragrance, as for the effect of this fragrance, I think Brother Ye has already experienced it. ”
"It's interesting. Ye Wu looked at these flowers with interest, and was amazed, and then he changed his words, "But I don't think that Brother Jiang didn't ask me to come here to see these flowers, right?"
When Jiang Daocheng heard this, he smiled a little embarrassed at first, and then said, "Yes, Brother Ye called you here today to discuss the matter of the Imperial Capital Demon Dao. ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Wu's complexion changed instantly.
Jiang Daocheng groped in his arms and took out a palm-sized small yellow talisman, and then saw his big sleeves flick off, and the yellow talisman spontaneously combusted without wind and turned into fly ash, and then, from around it, a blue light mask suddenly arose, enveloping the room.
"Yo, soundproof shields? In my head, a familiar voice remembered, it was Wuye.
"Soundproof shield?" Ye Wu asked with some puzzlement.
"It's just a gadget, it doesn't make a big deal at all. "Nightless didn't say much.
After doing all this, Jiang Daocheng breathed a long sigh of relief, he turned to Ye Wu and said apologetically, "Eh... Let Brother Ye be surprised, this is the forbidden note of the treasure of the immortal family, and now that we have spoken again, then there will never be a third person between the two of us who knows. ”
After Jiang Daocheng licked his lips that were a little dry, he asked, "Brother Ye, why do you think I was assigned to Nanzhou City?"
Ye didn't know. Ye Wu shook his head and said.
Jiang Daocheng looked at Ye Wu, obviously this person didn't believe that Ye Wu didn't know about this matter.
"Ye Cheng, you know the immortals, right?" Jiang Daocheng said.
"Immortals?"
"Actually, our palace has also enshrined a few, one of them is the little old man who took us to play every day when I was a child, the one who didn't have a serious one on weekdays, when I knew that he was an immortal when I became an adult, you didn't see how surprised my expression was. Jiang Daocheng took a deep breath, "That little old man is also a bloody person, at that time, a man in black fell from the sky, and when his strength was strong, the other immortals were so frightened that they slipped away in all directions, and he was still insisting, and finally seriously injured the old devil." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes rolled upward, tears rolled slightly in his eye sockets, and he held back his tears and said in a trembling voice: " But in order to protect me, he was poisoned by the old devil, and he had no choice but to escape here with me and the second brother, the second brother was not covered by the old man's shield when he escaped, and when he arrived at the location, it was already a pile of white bones, and the old man also died of poison a few days ago, before he died, he gave me a bag and a yellow talisman, he said that he used his last life to calculate a hexagram, and someone will come to take the city lord the next year, let me give him this bag..."
Ye Wu listened to what he said, and he couldn't help but think of an old naughty boy who looked like a little old man, who took their group of children to play every day on weekdays, although these memories were not his, but the picture made him feel more cordial.
Thinking of this, Ye Wu sighed and said, "So this person is me?"
"Yes, he said that you have a way to open it, alas, with his supernatural powers, it should be able to last for a year or two, why..." Jiang Daocheng muttered.
"Brother Jiang... Instead of being sentimental here, it is better to think about the future..."
Jiang Daocheng laughed at himself when he heard this: "In the future, do you think that a group of mortals can beat that old demon? Although it is true that he is seriously injured, don't forget that he still has several disciples of mana through heaven, so why should we fight him? I am afraid that he will be tortured and killed by his disciples before he even touches his face." ”
"Then what are you going to do?" Ye Wu asked.
"How? Instead of fighting this kind of battle that you know will be sent to the death, it is better to roll up and leave, it is rumored that there is a blessed land at the end of the South China Sea, where there are countless immortal treasures, and there are many rare beasts, plus my father hid all his belongings in the old palace site and gave me the key, so I want to take these things and take the Rumeng ferry all the way south. The third prince took a sip of wine and said, his words did not have the slightest style that a prince should have, just like a desperate person who was ready to seek death.
"But what if I have a way?"
"You?" Jiang Daocheng glanced at Ye Wu, and then shook his head, "More than a dozen monks on the other side, just up to you?"
"Give me a month. "Ye Wuzheng said.
Looking at Ye Wuso, Jiang Daocheng hesitated, this Ye boy has been creating miracles since he was a child, maybe......
The construction of the ship will be completed in a month, and it will be fine if he can do it, but if not, I will pat my ass and leave in a month. With this in mind, he asked, "What do you want?"
"I want money. Ye Wu put forward his own request.
Jiang Daocheng was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Wu's request.
"I can only give you a thousand taels of silver first. Jiang Daocheng looked at Ye Wu, with no intention of backing down in his eyes, "If you can't produce results for a month, don't blame me for not giving you face when the time comes." ”
"Yes. Ye Wu agreed without hesitation, after all, this is just a trivial matter to ask for money, and it is his purpose to be attached to the three princes, some people will ask this down-and-out prince what he has to rely on, in fact, this prince is certainly down-and-out, but at least he is still a prince, and his essence is completely two levels with those local snakes.
This is how the two reached a brief agreement.
"That's right, that girl like smoke still has to stay with you for the time being, you must know that although I was assigned to the frontier, but after all, I am still a prince, if the old devil wants to do it in advance, I'm afraid that the first one will find me, and then I'm afraid that I will be burdened like smoke, and this girl... Alas...... You'd better not treat her badly, or I'll kill you even if the net is broken!" Jiang Daocheng looked at Ye Wu viciously, and with his words, the color of the blue shield became lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared.
After dropping the cruel words, Jiang Daocheng got up and walked out.
"Brother!" As soon as he opened the door, he threw himself into his arms like smoke outside the door, and said in a coquettish tone.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Daocheng looked at Jiang Ruyan with some surprise.
"Sneaking along. Jiang Ruyan kept looking into the room.
Jiang Daocheng naturally understood who she was chasing.
"You're not too young, why are you still like a child. Jiang Daocheng stroked the hair between Ruyan's forehead, looking at this face that was full of vitality again, he smiled and said in a tone that was almost doting.
"By the way, are you wearing too thin?"
"Is it less? I think it's a lot, right, Brother Cheng?" Jiang Ruyan said indifferently.
Looking at his sister's eyes shining and looking for it, Jiang Daocheng smiled helplessly and shook his head, moved his body to the side, and made way for him, which was regarded as acquiescence, Ruyan saw Ye Wu sitting in the house at a glance, and slowly stepped forward.
Jiang Daocheng looked at the scene in the house, and only when she was with Ye Wu would she put away her arrogant temperament.
"Mengyuan, let's go. He beckoned.
"What's the matter, Your Highness, aren't you waiting for the princess?" Mengyuan asked with some confusion.
"No," he looked back behind him, "she...... Forget it, let's go. ”
Seeing Jiang Daocheng say this, the woman named Mengyuan stopped talking and paced to follow.
"Your name is Ye Ling, right?" Jiang Daocheng stopped, turned to look, looked at him, and then smiled: "It's nothing, that girl will have to drag you to take care of in the future." ”
"Well, good... Okay..."Ye Ling put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and looked a little dodgy.
After that, Jiang Daocheng didn't stay, and walked out of the inn, the inn was still crowded, and nothing changed because of his departure.
"Let's go, we have other things to do. Ye Wu greeted.
"Young Master, where are we going again?" Ye Ling looked at Ye Wu suspiciously.
"Bring them with Shi Youshan, we're going to start recruiting. Ye Wu said so, he didn't dare to recruit workers in a big way because he was alone, for fear of robbing the labor force of those families and angering the other party, but now it is different, he has the nominal ally of the third prince.
"Good!"
