Chapter 1543: Get close to the King of Jiangdu
King Jiangdu's personality and hobbies are special, and the content is very understandable.
And it is difficult to get the king of Jiangdu to become interested in new things.
Perhaps it was the Huaihe Water Mansion that brought excitement to the King of Jiangdu, and the King of Jiangdu also wanted to explore the Water Mansion near Jiangdu.
Not to mention "Jiangdu Strange Chronicles", as long as Zhang Xuezhou and others can help find another water mansion, all the books in Jiangdu can be turned over, and all manpower can be mobilized.
"Liu An picks and searches, and the rewarded things can't be taken at all" King Jiangdu invited: "This king is much more generous than him, as long as you can help this king find a water mansion, this king will directly reward 100,000 gold, if you want a beautiful woman, this king can also give you the most cherished concubine!"
Zhang Xuezhou is indeed refusing.
He has a need in Huainan, which involves rescuing the people of Zhangjiazhuang, so he is also constantly looking for opportunities.
But Zhang Xuezhou has no need for the land of Jiangdu.
Shuifu is not something he can find if he wants to, and the reward of the king of Jiangdu is not easy to take.
Of course, he didn't think much about King Jiangdu's most cherished concubine.
Zhang Xuezhou politely refused, only listening to Dong Zhongshu's coughing reminder, obviously asking him to accept the invitation of the king of Jiangdu.
"Is there a water mansion in Jiangdu?" Zhang Xuezhou changed his mind before he asked slowly.
"It's a lot," Jiangdu Wang said, "Our Jiangdu not only has a big river, but also leads to the East China Sea, and there are many rumors about the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea recorded in the Jiangdu Yizhi!"
"Tokai!"
"Ahem, ahem!"
Zhang Xuezhou just played in the big river, and when the king of Jiangdu mentioned the East China Sea, he couldn't help but retreat.
And Dong Zhongshu's repeated coughing reminders made him have to put his hesitation back.
If you don't consider finding Li Shaojun and Yao Yuanguang as quickly as possible, Zhang Xuezhou's itinerary is not so rushed.
Looking for Li Shaojun is to complete the official affairs of the imperial court, while looking for Yao Yuanguang can make friends with the king of Huainan, and even cooperate with Yao Yuanguang to let him rescue some of the people of Zhangjiazhuang.
The world is vast, and finding these two people is more by luck, and Zhang Xuezhou can't be in a hurry even if he wants to.
Although he was more inclined to find these two people in the north, Zhang Xuezhou even thought about going to Fengxize again, but it was also possible if these two people ran to the south.
Whether Zhang Xuezhou runs to the north or the south, he may encounter these two uncertain people.
His itinerary is in conflict with Dong Zhongshu, but as long as he turns the thoughts in his head, the conflict is not too obvious.
What made Zhang Xuezhou hesitate was that he never thought about going to the sea at the moment.
"The king's Jiangdu Yizhi is naturally excellent, maybe it is possible to find Shuifu after careful investigation," Zhang Xuezhou pondered.
"I knew that Liu An could dig out the Water Mansion there, and there was no way that I couldn't dig out the Water Mansion over there" Jiangdu Wang Xi said: "Don't say it, the things about the Water Mansion recorded by me over there are not comparable to the Huai River, and the rumored entire palace of the East China Sea Dragon Palace is made of crystal, which is far better than the broken stones of the Huai River Water Mansion!"
"That's right," Zhang Xuezhou nodded, "But the Water Mansion and the Dragon Palace are only in legends, and we need the help of people to find this rarity before it can be realized."
"Oh? Could it be that you have someone to recommend," Jiangdu Wang Qi said.
"Why don't you look ahead," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "I heard that Master Dong Zhongshu is very knowledgeable, and his research is extensive and broad, so he must have an understanding of these things, if the king can let Master Dong help, it may be much easier to find the Dragon Palace Water Mansion."
"That's what you say!"
Queen Jiangdu patted her head consciously, as if she had a sudden realization.
But he didn't immediately disturb Dong Zhongshu's lecture, but talked with Zhang Xuezhou to pass the time, and he didn't stop lecturing until Dong Zhongshu stopped lecturing after a while, and he stepped forward.
Compared with speaking casually to Zhang Xuezhou, and using money and beauties to tempt, the king of Jiangdu was polite when he asked Dong Zhongshu for help, and he also let Dong Zhongshu open his conditions.
I have to say that King Jiangdu has a bad temper, but his temperament is indeed extremely bold.
"The East China Sea has a treasure named 'East China Sea Dragon Ball', and its jewelry is priceless......
Dong Zhongshu talked eloquently, his knowledge seemed to be extremely extensive and extensive, and he talked about many things about the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, including the 'Jewelry Warehouse', 'Dragon Palace', 'Dragon Prison', 'Dragon Sleeping Palace', etc., and also mentioned the 'Golden Crab General', 'Sea Yasha', 'Turtle Prime Minister', 'Dragon King', 'Dragon Prince' and other great cultivators in the water.
Even Zhang Xuezhou listened to it for a while, and King Jiang Du and the others were even more fascinated.
But after listening to it for a while, Zhang Xuezhou found that what Dong Zhongshu said was empty and intangible, and these contents were all rumors, and did not involve how to find the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, nor did it involve the search for the Water Mansion.
If Dong Zhongshu was not sure, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would not be able to accept the invitation of King Jiangdu.
This made Zhang Xuezhou cough twice and remind.
He didn't mind delaying the trip, but Zhang Xuezhou was unwilling to do something that had no results, and if Dong Zhongshu couldn't get the dry goods, he would have to part ways at the intersection ahead.
"Speaking of which, I have an old friend, Gongsun Hong, who has been in the East China Sea for more than ten years in the past and is extremely familiar with the East China Sea, and he will definitely be able to help us eliminate many areas, and he may even be able to judge the location of the Water Mansion Dragon Palace in combination with the different aspirations of the Jiang Capital!"
Hearing Zhang Xuezhou's cough, Dong Zhongshu, who had said a lot of empty words, couldn't help but blushed slightly.
Zhang Xuezhou has a different itinerary and doesn't want to get involved, and Dong Zhongshu has no problem with a mouth, but it is not possible for Dong Zhongshu to find the Water Mansion and the Dragon Palace.
In this matter, if he wants to be close to the King of Jiangdu, Dong Zhongshu really needs foreign aid.
Dong Zhongshu needs a talent like Zhang Xuezhou who has discovered the Water Mansion, and he also needs the help of a great cultivator like Gongsun Hong, who has been in the East China Sea for a long time.
"Gongsun Hong has gone out to kill the country," Zhang Xuezhou reminded from behind.
"Gongsun Hong has returned," Dong Zhongshu corrected, "Not long after he left Yumen Pass, there was chaos in the convoy, and then he had to go back to Chang'an City!"
"So fast," Zhang Xuezhou said in surprise, "Then can he be regarded as having completed the mission of the mission?"
"His Majesty has been dismissed for failing in his mission," Dong Zhongshu said, "He should be idle at home in Xue County, Suchuan now, if the king can send someone to invite, he should be able to help!"
The disgraced appearance of Gongsun Hong leading the group out of Chang'an City is still in Zhang Xuezhou's mind, Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that Gongsun Hong not only ran out, but also ran back, and even had been dismissed from his post.
This inevitably made Zhang Xuezhou think about his former friend Zhang Qian, and then think about his senior brother Wuchao, and for a while I didn't know how the mission of these two people was working.
But Gongsun Hong was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, which could help Dong Zhongshu.
Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu exchanged a few words, and waited until Dong Zhongshu said a few words to the king of Jiangdu, who was interested in Shuifu.
"No problem, the matter of inviting Gongsun Hong is on this king, and this king will give you whatever you want" King Jiangdu patted his chest and promised: "Wait for this king to slaughter a few dragons, and we can still eat dragon meat and drink dragon blood together!"
"Hahaha~"
Dong Zhongshu laughed dryly.
It is a trouble to get close to the king of Jiangdu, and how to find the Shuifu Dragon Palace is also a troublesome matter.
And it is even more difficult to make the King of Jiangdu satisfied and not involve the trouble caused by the Dragon Palace.
But even the most difficult things have to be solved.
Only by casting favors can you get close, and exploring the water mansion is the only thing that Dong Zhongshu can find close to the king of Jiangdu at the moment.
Before the Huaihe Shuifu incident broke out, the king of Jiangdu didn't even have any concept of such things.
King Jiangdu's interest came and went quickly, and Dong Zhongshu felt that he needed to seize the opportunity quickly.
