The next day.

Su Yushen got up refreshed, and beside him was Mei Ji, who had fallen asleep with frowning.

After breakfast, when Su Yu rode the wind horse all the way to the city gate, the horses under his command were already ready to go, and his expression was full of excitement.

The outer edge of the procession is crowded with people who come here to watch the excitement.

The 20-year competition in the Holy Land of Yaochi is undoubtedly the most eye-catching event on the rivers and lakes.

In addition to the choice of a son-in-law by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, a more important reason is that the first person of the younger generation will be elected.

It is precisely for this reason that the competition held by the Yaochi Holy Land to recruit relatives will be unprecedentedly hot on the rivers and lakes.

Warriors from all over Kyushu will also gather at the Yaochi Holy Land to watch this once-in-20-year event.

The Yaochi Holy Land only recruits female disciples, and it is precisely for this reason that the Yaochi Holy Land does not allow men to enter the Holy Land at other times to amuse.

It is also a rare opportunity to recruit relatives through martial arts competitions and visit the Holy Land of Yaochi.

"Brother Su, here."

Seeing Su Yu riding his horse, Sun Xi greeted him with a smile.

As for Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong, unfortunately, they did not appear here

Su Yu couldn't help asking, "Brother Sun, what about the eldest prince and the second prince?" ”

"Oh, here we are."

Sun Xi's eyes pointed in the direction of the city gate, and he saw that the two teams were slowly coming in the direction outside the city gate.

"Brother Su, let's go, we have to go and say hello to the eldest prince and the second prince first."

After Sun Xizhui finished speaking, he lightly clamped the horse's belly and greeted him, and Su Yuze followed behind.

When the convoy stopped outside the city, the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan and the second prince Wei Zongyue lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

"The humble town martial arts division Qianhu Sun Xitui (Su Yu), I have seen His Royal Highness the eldest prince and His Royal Highness the second prince."

Su Yu and Sun Xi clenched their fists together.

At the same time, Su Yu couldn't help but glance up and down at the two of them.

I have to say that Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue, the eldest princes who were born in the emperor's family, are all magnificent and extraordinary.

But it's right to think about it, the prince who was born in the emperor's family, the concubine who can be favored by the emperor, how hard can he see?

As for the emperor's appearance, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is impossible for the appearance to be any worse.

However, looking closely, the temperament of the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan is more elegant, with a bookish atmosphere.

The second prince Wei Zongyue's temperament is more feminine, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and he always maintains a confident smile.

"I just don't know, this time, it is the uncle who decided the Yaochi Holy Land from the two of them, or the juniors cultivated by the other five transcendent forces who are better."

Su Yu couldn't help but snort in his heart.

According to his guess, Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue at least had the cultivation of the Fish Leap Realm.

Being able to have the cultivation of the Fish Leap Realm at the age of twenty is already a very fast cultivation speed.

Many martial artists on the rivers and lakes have wasted too much time in obtaining cultivation resources, and they may not be able to reach this realm in their lifetime.

Beside the two princes, there were two old men who looked like withered trees.

Obviously, the Zhenwu Division could only send two thousand households to protect it, and the forces behind the two princes were still very worried about the dangers that might arise along the way, and sent martial arts masters to accompany the guards.

"Tsk, four Hidden Dragon Realm martial artists. I just don't know if there are Soul Palace Realm martial artists in secret."

Su Yu glanced at the four of them, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He only roughly knew that Lord Shoufu was on the side of the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan, and as for the forces behind Wei Zongyue, he knew very little.

However, since he can compete with Shoufu Wang Jinghui in the court, the power behind Wei Zongyue should not be underestimated.

"Are you Su Qianhu, who has been in the limelight in Tai'an City recently?"

Wei Zongyuan looked at Su Yu and said with a smile: "Su Qianhu can be promoted to Zhenwu Si Qianhu at a young age, and the future is limitless." ”

Wei Zongyue on the side also said with a smile: "If it is not expected, Su Qianhu will definitely have the opportunity to be promoted to the position of suppressor in the future." ”

The tone of the two was good, and they both meant to show favor to Su Yu, hoping to pull Su Yu into their camp.

Su Yu is a small thousand households, and they naturally don't pay much attention to it.

But if this Qianhu is the son-in-law of the martial family, then his status is very important.

At present, the position of the martial artist is not obvious, and it is obvious that the two are not helping each other.

If you can win over Su Yu, and then use this to make the martial family fall to your camp, it will be more helpful to compete for the crown prince.

Su Yu said respectfully: "The two highnesses have praised it falsely, and it is just good luck to humble themselves, so I am really ashamed." ”

He naturally understood the reason why the two praised him.

However, this kind of thing has always set off a bloody storm, and no one knows what will happen until the last moment.

Especially there is the variable of Wei Lianyi.

In the end, no one can say who will become the crown prince and take over the throne.

Su Yu didn't want to get involved in this dispute for some reason.

Just like now, what's wrong with going to work every day to fish, and going back from work to have a show to watch? Do you want to learn to stand in line and find trouble?

Listening to Su Yu's slightly unfamiliar tone, Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue's eyes flashed.

Obviously, the other party doesn't want to have too much to do with them.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, once the subsequent crown prince is elected, those who stand on the wrong side will naturally be liquidated.

Before the situation is clear, who wants to be liquidated by the other side for their mistakes?

And what they can give Su Yu is actually not much.

As they said before, Su Yu died in this life, that is, he was promoted to the position of suppressor.

As for the commander at the top, in fact, there is no longer any meaning, the commander is obsessed with the martial arts, and only hopes to have more achievements in the martial arts, and the suppression of the real power are two directions.

For Su Yu, who had already been promoted to a thousand households at a young age, the temptation of this position of pacification was not much for him, and it was even more impossible to command the envoy.

In the world, the life of ordinary people is nothing more than power and wealth, and the martial artist adds another cultivation.

The level of cultivation is often a concrete manifestation of wealth.

As long as you have the money to buy cultivation resources, your cultivation will naturally not be low.

However, Su Yu married the daughter of the martial family, and in terms of wealth, Su Yu has no worries at all.

As for the rights, Su Yu was young, and he had already been promoted to the town martial arts division of the thousand households, and there was a great chance to be promoted to the post of town commander in the future, it was just a matter of time.

There is also the last color, in addition to the daughter of the martial family, Su Yu also accepted four world-famous Oiran as concubines.

It can be said that at a young age, Su Yu has already become a winner in all aspects of life, and there are no shortcomings for them to win over.

As for relying on your own personality charm, don't be stupid.

If his personality charm can be worshiped by others, will the position of the prince always be high?

Then the two chatted with Su Yu for a while, deepening their friendship as much as possible.

Even if you can't win Su Yu into your camp, you must not let the other party join the other party's camp.

As for Sun Xitui on the side, he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

He is also a thousand households, but Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue didn't even have the idea of saying hello to him, and all their minds were on talking to Su Yu.

Obviously, in the eyes of Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue, Sun Xitui is a person who has little use value.

Since there is no use value, it is a waste of time to say more.

This also made Su Yu sigh that Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue had really practiced human feelings to the extreme.

He and Sun Xichui are both Zhenwu Si Qianhu, but the treatment they suffered was worlds apart.

Thinking about it, in the eyes of these two princes, those who can generate benefits for themselves naturally want to be wooed in every possible way.

But if you are sure that you can't create benefits for yourself, their indifference and ruthlessness can be said to be vividly displayed.

He couldn't help but think of everything that had happened when he first met Wei Lianyi.

At that time, Wei Lianyi wanted to find Chu Xuan, and the life of Ma Zi under his command was all lost, and he was regarded as a mustard.

Perhaps for the children of the emperor's family, because they have been living in all kinds of deceitful and deceitful relationships since they were young, they have already cultivated the ability to fight for power and profit.

They will use all the resources around them and do their best to climb up!

Even if they stopped, the people standing behind them would push them forward without stopping.

After chatting for a while, Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue each boarded their extremely luxurious chariots.

The procession, numbering in the hundreds, swept straight in the direction of the north.

"Brother Su, in your opinion, who has a better chance of sitting on the throne of the crown prince or the second prince?"

Sun Xi rode his horse and Su Yu in parallel, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The way to the Holy Land of Yaochi is far away, and if he wants to pass the time on this way, he only has such an object as Su Yu.

Regarding the snubbing of the eldest prince and the second prince before, Sun Xichui did not have the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart.

The thousand households of the Zhenwu Division, for many people, may be an unattainable big shot.

But for some people who wield great power, they are still as humble as ants.

They don't even have the qualifications to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, and as the two princes, they even have the opportunity to become emperors in the future, how can they look at a small thousand households in their eyes?

The reason why the two princes are kind to Su Yu is nothing more than because of the martial artist behind him.

If he Su Yu is just a small thousand households, it is estimated that the two princes are too lazy to deal with it.

When Su Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly: "How can I know about this kind of thing, brother." ”

Sun Xitui couldn't help but say: "Brother Su, in the past, the royal family has never participated in the competition held by the Yaochi Holy Land to recruit relatives. ”

"This time, the two princes also participated in this competition to recruit relatives, and I always feel that the situation is a little strange."

"Oh?"

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, then asked with a smile, "What do you say?" ”

Since Sun Xitui can say this to him, he must also treat him as his own.

After all, Sun Xichui himself has a close relationship with the martial family, and Su Yu is the son-in-law of the martial family, and the two sides themselves are the same group, so Sun Xichui naturally does not have many scruples in his words, and everyone's interests are the same.

Sun Xizhui glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one within a few feet, he lowered his voice and said slowly: "According to my guess, in addition to the martial arts family, the other seven martial arts families, as well as several transcendent forces, are already secretly standing in line. ”

"But thinking about these martial arts families and transcendent forces, the two princes have each won over half, so that the two sides are still evenly matched."

"It is precisely because of this that the two princes hit the idea of Yaochi Holy Land, probably because they both want to become the uncle of Yaochi Holy Land and let Yaochi Holy Land stand on their side."

Hearing Sun Xichui's speculation, Su Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't expect that Sun Xitui would also think of so much.

He nodded and chuckled, "Brother Sun, this guess of yours is very likely. “

"Then according to Brother Sun, the eldest prince and the second prince, who is more likely to become the crown prince?"

Sun Xi's eyes flashed, shook his head and said, "At present, the situation is still unclear. ”

"But I think that after this competition in the Yaochi Holy Land to recruit relatives, there may be a chance to reveal it."

Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe this time the two princes participated in the competition of the Yaochi Holy Land to recruit relatives, which itself was His Majesty's proposal, and the winner became the crown prince in the end."

When Sun Xitui heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

He knew the news that Wei Lianyi had cultivated the Imperial Heavenly Rank martial arts.

Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, this type of heaven-level martial art has always been passed down by the emperor to the next successor.

But His Majesty passed on this Heavenly Rank martial art to the Third Princess Wei Lianyi, so what was his purpose? Isn't that obvious?

Obviously, His Majesty was on Wei Lianyi's side and became the third force.

It's just that since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has never been a situation where a woman has succeeded to the throne, and the Wei and Jin dynasties cannot use the power of one person to confront the civil and military officials in the entire court and even the people of the world.

In this case, Your Majesty's best way is to deliberately let the forces of the eldest prince and the second prince reach a balance, so that the two parties can fight to the death in secret, and at the same time consume the strength of both sides.

When both sides lose, Wei Jin pushes Wei Lianyi out again, and there will be less resistance in the court.

This battle for the crown prince has reached a white-hot realm now.

I just don't know who will succeed the emperor in the end.

"Brother Su, what do you say is good about being an emperor?"

Sun Xitui changed the topic and couldn't help but sigh: "The martial king of Yanzhou, who was a good emperor in Yanzhou, was going to rebel, which led to a desolate end for himself and his son. ”

"How can this emperor's position be so tempting?"

"Unlike us, a thousand-household position of the town martial arts division is already satisfied."

"I really can't figure it out."

Listening to Sun Xichui's sigh, Su Yu's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

If you don't understand it, they don't have that condition, so naturally they can't feel the temptation of the throne.

When a person reaches a certain height, his gaze looks at the higher peaks and wonders what the scene is behind the peaks.

Wu Wang Wei Qing was also a prince, and was finally sent to Yanzhou by the king.

As his cultivation rose rapidly, he would naturally covet the throne.

In this life, the most difficult thing for people to learn is probably satisfaction.

Many ordinary people set their lifelong happiness on being able to eat enough every day.

And the common people who can eat enough every day set their happiness on having big fish and meat every day.

When he really can fish and eat big meat one day, the threshold of desire will rise again, and he will yearn for three wives and four concubines.

"Wei Qing is a member of the royal family, he must know what luck said."

"According to my speculation, luck should be in the emperor's vein to get blessings, and Wei Qing rebelled, thinking that he also hoped to pass on Yanzhou's luck in his own vein."

"Otherwise, once he dies, the blessings that fall on him will also return to the royal family, as for his son Wei Yan, he will not be able to enjoy the blessings of luck, otherwise he will not only have the cultivation of the Iron Bone Realm."

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Wei Qing rebelled, probably because he wanted to separate Yanzhou's luck from the Great Wei and Kyushu, and only pass it on on his side.

If it weren't for Su Yu's intervention to disrupt Wei Qing's plan and he captured Wei Lianyi as a handle, maybe he would have really succeeded.

It's a pity that it backfired, Su Yu killed Wei Yan, which also made Wei Qing confused and lost everything.

In the next few days, Su Yu and Sun Xitui chatted all the way to pass the boredom on the road, but they didn't feel particularly bored.

It wasn't until half a month later, when the sun was about to set, that the clouds on the entire sky were rendered blood-red.

And at the end of the eye, a majestic city wall came into view.

Penglai City!

Just as the tide city of the Northern Qi Dynasty prospered because of the Luan Fengzong, Penglai City is a large city that ushered in unprecedented development because of the holy land of Yaochi.

In the territory of Liangzhou, there are only two large cities recognized by the local people, the state city of Black Dragon City, and the gateway to the Yaochi Holy Land in front of you, Penglai City.

If you want to go to the Yaochi Holy Land, the only way to pass is Penglai City, about 50 miles north of Penglai City, which is the place where the Yaochi Holy Land was founded.

"It's here, and I'll finally get a good night's sleep tonight."

Looking at Penglai City in the distance, Sun Xitui couldn't help but sigh.

The bumps on horseback in the past half a month almost knocked the bones apart.

Su Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Stay overnight in Penglai City tonight, and you will be able to go to the Yaochi Holy Land tomorrow.

Although it is not bumpy to ride a wind horse, I haven't had the opportunity to watch the energetic show for half a month, which is really a bit boring.

It is estimated that Mei Ji and they are playing mahjong at home, and their little hands are all cocooned, right?

The excitement of a woman playing mahjong is estimated to be slightly lower than that of playing a game of backstabbing with a man.

Su Yu could even clearly perceive that the guards under his command were all breathing a sigh of relief at this moment.

They each glanced at each other, and their faces were full of ambiguous smiles that were familiar to men.

Apparently they were ready for where they would stay tonight.

When the team arrived in Penglai City, night had already fallen.

The main streets of Penglai City can be described as overcrowded, bustling, and lively.

The vast majority of these people are warriors from all over Kyushu because of the martial arts competition held by the Yaochi Holy Land to recruit relatives.

Especially in the square in the center of Penglai City, it is even more crowded and unventilated.

In the center of the square, a temporary platform was erected, and a young man in a brocade robe was shouting loudly.

"Heroes and heroes from afar, don't miss it!"

"Regarding the competition to recruit relatives in the Holy Land of Yaochi, the odds have come out, and the Luo family will sit in the village and raise a total of five million yuan to add fire to this event!"

"In this competition of Yaochi Holy Land, the Luo family will open the market, and one will lose fifty!"

"You heard it right, fifty for one!!"

"Whoever you press becomes the uncle of the Yaochi Holy Land, will be compensated with fifty times!"

"You bet on 100 Yuan Crystals, as long as he wins this competition to recruit relatives, my Luo family will pay you 5,000 Yuan Crystals!"

"Welcome everyone to Luojia's Luojia Gambling House in Penglai City, and bet enthusiastically!"

"Wow!"

The young man's words immediately set off an uproar in the square.

Fifty times the odds, there is no doubt that the eyes of many people present are red.

With the odds of one to fifty, it may be difficult to press one person, so what if I bet on all the popular candidates of several transcendent forces?

The five transcendent forces, as well as the eight martial arts families, plus the two princes, are only fifteen popular candidates in total.

Fifteen popular candidates, no one bet on 100 yuan crystals, and it was only 1,500 yuan crystals.

Once there is an 'uncle' in his pressure among these fifteen people, he will be able to earn three thousand five hundred yuan crystals for nothing.

Sun Xi sighed: "This Luo family is really wealthy, it just proposed such high odds, and there are tens of thousands of Jianghu warriors who participated in this grand event, isn't this Luo family afraid of losing money?" “

When Su Yu heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, what you think is too simple. ”

"Oh?"

Sun Xi looked at him puzzled: "Brother Su, is there anything else that can't be done?" ”

Facing Sun Xichui's gaze, Su Yu chuckled and said, "If the Luo family doesn't raise the odds to a high level, why should others bet on him?" ”

"The warriors on the rivers and lakes are actually vulgar martial artists who only know how to fight, kill, and kill."

"They don't have much independent thinking ability, they just follow what others do."

"At that time, the Luo family only needs to guide a little and secretly release the news, saying that someone is a popular candidate to win the championship this time, and then attract the warriors on the rivers and lakes to bet on this person"

"Just imagine, if this person himself has no hope of winning the championship, but he has absorbed many people's bets on him, in the end, even if someone really presses the winner, the Luo family will not need to pay much."

As the number one martial arts family in Liangzhou, the Luo family can be described as a family power that calls for wind and rain.

They only need to spend a small amount of money, buy a few hundred people, and go to the inn where various warriors in Penglai City gather, and tell them about the 'insider' information they have gotten.

The one who has the right to speak will always be able to confuse the public, let the people below hear what they want to say, and cover up what they don't want to say.

Those martial artists on the rivers and lakes may laugh at hearing a person's inside information, but when ten hundred people say that this person has a chance to win the championship, will he subconsciously feel and believe that person can win the championship?

They themselves don't have much ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and when they see that others are betting, they also bet heavily on this 'insider' information.

Once this kind of herd mentality appears, then you can't lose and go bankrupt?

Even if someone is wet with rain and dew, and cleverly presses all the possible candidates for the championship, there are at least twenty or thirty people.

If these 30 winning candidates all bet on 100 yuan crystals and pay 50 times, the odds will reach the range of 1:2.

If there happens to be no one in these twenty or thirty people, then the fun will be great.

Many people's gamblers will not bet on this kind of high probability event, they will only think about using the small to win the big and grab the maximum benefit with the least amount of yuan crystals, such as betting on one or two people they like, using one or two hundred yuan crystals to win five thousand yuan crystals.

The 50 times odds of the Luo family not only played a gimmick effect, but also instantly made those small handicaps have no way to live.

In addition, the competition in the Yaochi Holy Land is actually quite interesting.

That is the final winner, and there is still a fight with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

If the winner loses to the hands of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi can have the right to choose her own husband according to the previous rules.

If the Holy Maiden of Yaochi loses to the final winner, then the two parties will hold a grand wedding in the Holy Land of Yaochi.

After listening to Su Yu's analysis, Sun Xitui's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he muttered in a lost voice: So that's the case. ”

"According to Brother Su's analysis, if the final winner is defeated in the hands of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, wouldn't it be the same as the leopard in the dice, and the Luo family will kill it."

Su Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "Being a banker has always been unprofitable. ”

"You want to get rich, and he wants to get rich, so who will make them rich? Someone has to be the culprit, right? ”

Sun Xitui sighed: "I'm now very much looking forward to the competition in a few days, and I think it will be very lively." ”

When Su Yu heard this, his eyes couldn't help flashing.

He was not interested in recruiting relatives with martial arts.

But I am very curious about the black water pool on which the Yaochi Holy Land relied for its fortune.

After all, the Nirvana Blood Pool of the Nine Shadows Holy Land can be said to have opened Su Yu's eyes.

According to his guess, there may be some secret hidden in this black pool.

He planned to wait until he entered the Yao Chi Holy Land, and then find a way to find the location of the Black Water Pool, and investigate the reason why the Black Water Pool could speed up people's cultivation. (End of chapter)
