It is not easy to be an official in the imperial court, especially when it comes to factional disputes.

Gongsun Hong is a victim of the mistake of taking sides.

If Shen Peigong and others are still in the Chang'an Imperial Court, he will inevitably make a big fuss about his mission to the murderous country and return to the country, even if he dismisses the official and goes home, it will be difficult to do it, and he may even die.

Invited by the king of Jiangdu, and Dong Zhongshu kept hinting for help, Zhang Xuezhou finally came to Guangling City, the capital of Jiangdu, and met Gongsun Hong with a frustrated face three days later.

It wasn't until Gongsun Hong was introduced into the Guangling Palace and saw the King of Jiangdu sitting on the throne, and Dong Zhongshu and Zhang Xuezhou and others sitting in the guest seats, that Gongsun Hong's pale old face was ruddy.

"Meet the King!"

Gongsun Hong saluted in a proper manner.

"Mr. Gongsun is exempt!"

The country of Sugawa belongs to the subject country of Qidi, and its location is already extremely close to the northern border.

King Jiangdu said that inviting people is really inviting people, and as for the method, he said otherwise.

"I haven't seen Mr. Gongsun for a long time, and I'm very worried about Mr. Gongsun's safety!"

He can understand Gongsun Hong, but Zhang Xuezhou obviously won't trust Gongsun Hong as much as he trusts Dong Zhongshu.

Zhang Xuezhou got up and returned the salute.

"Mr. Gongsun, I heard Dr. Dong mention that you have been in the East China Sea for more than ten years in the past and are very familiar with the East China Sea, I don't know if you know the Crystal Palace of the East China Sea!"

"Zhong Shu!"

If he lacks ability and falls into the whirlpool of being forced to go to the murderous country, Zhang Xuezhou's performance will not be much better than Gongsun Hong.

Gongsun Hong arrived in Guangling City three days later than them, and Dong Zhongshu and others have read books such as "Jiangdu Yizhi" in the past few days, and there is no shortage of wandering around the Yangtze River and other rivers to explore.

But the more reckless the king of Jiangdu became, the more he didn't understand, and he didn't feel any guilt when he started.

If the king of Jiangdu is diligent and loves the people, and is praised by everyone, he must be ashamed to choose the king of Jiangdu as the target of his cultivation.

Dong Zhongshu and others searched to no avail, and the king of Jiangdu also looked at Gongsun Hong, who was recommended by Dong Zhongshu.

He rubbed the painful parts of his body, looked ahead, and didn't know how Zhang Xuezhou followed Dong Zhongshu to Jiangdu for a while, but he and Zhang Xuezhou were also familiar with each other, so they also said hello.

He returned the salute, and waited until Gongsun Hong was given a seat by the king of Jiangdu to sit down, and Zhang Xuezhou returned to his position.

When he raised his glass and gestured to Gongsun Hong, the king of Jiangdu also quickly asked about the purpose of inviting Gongsun Hong to come.

But Zhang Xuezhou will not offend Gongsun Hong.

"Second Secretary!"

In just six days, Gongsun Hong has been tied up here.

Gongsun Hong looked at his red, swollen and skinny arms, and had no choice but to bow to Dong Zhongshu.

Dong Zhongshu waved the magic weapon fan, and a wind blade flew out like a knife, and the rope on Gongsun Hong's body suddenly fell off.

"Why are you still wearing a rope on your body, does Mr. Gongsun have any special hobbies?" King Jiangdu said: "It is said that this king also likes to tie people, and this king's favorite concubine often plays this kind of binding game." ”

King Jiangdu acted extremely simple and rude, and the promised invitation turned into a direct binding of Gongsun Hong to Jiangdu Kingdom, and Dong Zhongshu also let out a heavy breath when his heart was lifted.

I have seen Gongsun Hong act in Chang'an City, and his impression of Gongsun Hong is not good, nor is it bad.

"The Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?"

Gongsun Hong was stunned, and finally understood the reason why he was tied up.

It is not uncommon for King Jiangdu to tie people for thousands of miles in order to get an answer, and there are even more absurd princes and kings in the Han Dynasty.

"The Crystal Palace is not located in the sea area next to the Jiangdu area," Gongsun Hong shook his head and said: "One thousand two hundred miles west of the Ludi Sea is the entrance to the East China Sea Crystal Palace!" ”

"Really?"

King Jiangdu's right hand raised his glass and was stunned.

He just asked casually, how did he know that Gongsun Hong directly told the place.

"Heaven and earth are divided into the East Sea, the West Sea, the North Sea, and the South China Sea, and there is a dragon palace in each of these four seas" Gongsun Hong said: "This kind of place is the lair of the dragon kings, and the guards are extremely strict, unless you know the art of water escape, and your combat power is amazing, you can enter that dangerous place!" ”

"How amazing is it, is this king amazing?" King Jiangdu asked.

"If the king's water escape technique is unparalleled in the world, and he can enter the water like a bird flying in the sky, then the current combat power is already amazing," Gongsun Hong said seriously.

"What do you mean?" King Jiangdu asked Dong Zhongshu: "What kind of water, bird, why does what this Gongsun Hong said make this king sound a little difficult!" ”

"Mr. Gongsun said that if you can swim like a fish in the water, then you can go directly to the East China Sea Crystal Palace to explore," Dong Zhongshu explained: "If you can't do it, you need to cast a big ship that can cross the sea." ”

"The big ship can't do it, the big ship can only sail to the top of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, the Dragon Palace is hundreds of zhang deep from the water surface, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the Dragon Palace," Gongsun Hongdao said.

"Hundreds of feet of water? Is there anything wrong with them, what are they doing with the palace in such a deep water? How does this make this king catch the dragon? ”

King Jiangdu scolded loudly, not taking into account the differences in their races.

Dong Zhongshu glanced at Gongsun Hong again and again.

He asked Gongsun Hong to come to help, not to ask Gongsun Hong to come and dismantle the stage.

If the king of Jiangdu stacked up this matter and faded his thoughts about the Shuifu Dragon Palace, Dong Zhongshu would hardly be so close to the other party in any other way.

"Ciqing's ability in the water is excellent, and he also knows a lot of news, if he can't reach the East China Sea Dragon Palace, there should be some ways to find other places in the water mansion," Dong Zhongshu recommended.

"It's difficult!"

Gongsun Hong shook his head, and his face showed a difficult color.

It's not that he didn't see Dong Zhongshu's eyes, but it was indeed extremely difficult to explore the Shuifu Dragon Palace.

After the fall of the Zhou royal family dominated by the Immortal Court, the dragon kings in the Jianghe Water Mansion also withdrew to find a place to live, and now it is difficult to find the Dragon Palace Water Mansion in the Southern Ganbu Continent.

"Ciqing just said that it was difficult, not that it was impossible, then there should be some way" Dong Zhongshu smiled reluctantly.

"The Sea Dragon Kings are almost impossible to find, but there is indeed one Dragon King left in this world who is in charge of the waters of various places," Gongsun Hong nodded.

"Oh, where is the Dragon King?" King Jiangdu stopped scolding and asked.

"This dragon king patrols the Huai River, Jishui, Changshui, and the Yellow River, and his whereabouts are uncertain," Gongsun Hong said: "He sometimes walks around in human form, which is extremely difficult to find!" ”

"So?"

"Ahem, ahem!"

When King Jiangdu asked again, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but start coughing to remind.

It doesn't matter what dragon is not a dragon, and it doesn't matter what water mansion is, what is important is to let the king of Jiangdu devote himself to this matter.

Even if they only found a dilapidated water mansion in the end, it would be no problem.

The longer they get along, the more likely it is that Dong Zhongshu will promote the development of the movement technique in the King of Jiangdu.

His focus had never been to find the Dragon and Water Mansion, but only to get close to the King of Jiangdu to cast spells.

"The second secretary will inevitably be tired when he comes from afar, so it's better to rest first, and then let's see if we can find a Shuifu Dragon Palace for the king," Dong Zhongshu said.

"It's good!"

Most of the civil officials who can enter and leave the imperial court are smart, and they were repeatedly reminded by Dong Zhongshu, and Gongsun Hong also reacted after realizing it.

If Dong Zhongshu reminds him repeatedly, this can only prove that there are great benefits to finding the Shuifu Dragon Palace.

Gongsun Hong thought about the Chang'an Imperial Court, which had a bleak future, and Dong Zhongshu, who also came out of Chang'an City, and finally stood on the same line with the other party.
