Chapter Eighty-Five: Preparation for the Competition
After Xia Yu came out of Shuifu, he followed the flow of people and walked around the Song Dynasty City, passing the time of boredom.
Song Wangcheng was prosperous and crowded, but there were no troublemakers on the way.
Xia Yu's name has already spread all over Song Wangcheng, and the children of those big families have already received a warning not to provoke Xia Yu, and those powerless hooligans on the street are even sharp-eyed, seeing Xia Yu's gorgeous clothes, his aura is extraordinary, and he dare not provoke.
Xia Yu's appearance made the children of those large and small families who were constantly making trouble on weekdays quiet, which indirectly made the security of Song Wangcheng a lot better.
Xia Yu sat by the window on the second floor of a restaurant, drinking boredly, watching the flow of people on the street, everything was so harmonious.
Jin Wuxi falls, and a brilliant sunset shoots enchanting colors in the western sky.
Xia Yu looked at the brilliant sunset, smiled, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that I would do it for half a day." ”
Xia Yu left the gold coins on the table, turned around and went down the restaurant, and returned home in the sunset.
As soon as Xia Yu returned to his mansion, he saw Huang Deli running in, and said with a somewhat flustered expression: "Childe, Lord Zhao Ji asks to see you." ”
"Zhao Ji, but the third brother of King Song?" Xia Yu asked with some confusion.
"Exactly. Huang Deli replied.
"Oh, since you're here, you can welcome me with you. ”
Xia Yu and Zhao Ji's granddaughter Zhao Yuehua are friends, and they have to greet them with reason.
Xia Yu walked to the gate of the mansion and saw a dignified old man with gray hair standing at the door with two guards, who looked three points similar to King Song.
"The seniors came, and Xia Yu was far away. Xia Yu said with a smile.
"Haha, there is a corresponding son of Lao Xia, and the old man is honored. Zhao Ji laughed and said, with a light on his face.
Xia Yu and Zhao Ji walked into the hall side by side, and after the guests and hosts sat down, Xia Yu asked with a smile: "The seniors came to the cold house, I don't know what the so-called thing is?"
"Master Xia, I'm here to thank you, if it weren't for your appearance, I'm afraid my life would have been very difficult. ”
Zhao Ji said with a sincere face: "You and Yuehua met in the Spirit Beast Forest, and you saved her life, and then defeated Shui Han'er in Qingzhou City, so that the Shui family is not involved in the battle of the son, which is equivalent to saving my Zhao Ji's line, you and our Zhao family have a lot of fate, this is a little heart, you must accept it." ”
Zhao Ji placed a jade box on the table in front of Xia Yu.
"Senior, you are too polite, Yuehua and I are friends, help is due, this gift is too valuable, please take it back." Xia Yu said with a smile, and put the jade box back in front of Zhao Ji's table.
Zhao Ji looked at Xia Yu's face and found that Xia Yu was sincere, not like a pretentious look, and then laughed and said, "Xia Gongzi is a real hero." In the future, if Xia Gongzi has any use for the old man, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. ”
"Okay, then thank you seniors. Xia Yu sincerely thanked him.
"The family doesn't talk to the family, you are polite. Zhao Ji said with a smile.
"Seniors haven't eaten yet, why don't we have a glass of wine together?" Xia Yu invited.
"Okay, okay, I came here today to be close to you, and I should drink. Zhao Ji said briskly.
Xia Yu looked at Zhao Ji's hearty personality, and he was very temperamental, and with a wave of his hand, he let the servant set up the banquet.
Xia Yu and Zhao Ji drank at the same table, laughing constantly, and the wine was dry.
After a few glasses of wine, his face was slightly red and he said anxiously: "Xia Gongzi participated in the Hundred Domains Competition on behalf of our Song Wangyu this time, which is the blessing of our Song Wangyu, I respect you." ”
Zhao Ji picked up the wine glass and drank it.
Xia Yu also drained the wine in the cup, and said: "This is also King Song's generosity, I am grateful to be able to divide the quota of the competition with me." ”
"King Song is a wise man, this matter is good for you and our Song Wangyu, why not do it, in the future, you will become famous in the Hundred Domains Competition, and when you win the first place, our Song Wangyu will also be famous and show his face, and he can also get rewards, this is a win-win situation." Zhao Ji said with a smile.
"You and King Song have such confidence in me?" Xia Yu asked.
"That's natural, just with your strength, if you don't take the first, there will be no reason, as far as I know, the only people in your younger generation who have the strength of yours are you, Shui Han'er, Yang Guang, and Feng Piaoxue, and you defeated Shui Han'er, I think Yang Guang and Feng Piaoxue are not your opponents. Zhao Ji said with a smile.
"Shui Han'er and I are masters of the same level, I think Yang Guang and Feng Piaoxue will not be too bad, there will be a hard battle at that time, but the victory will be mine. Xia Yu said slowly, with a confident face.
"That is, I believe in the strength of Xia Gongzi, I wish Xia Gongzi the championship in one fell swoop. Zhao Ji picked up the wine glass and dried.
"Then borrow the good words of the predecessors. Xia Yu drank all the wine in the cup.
"Young Master Xia, it was originally Zhao Kai who accompanied you to the Shang King Domain this time, but because of your appearance, King Song decided to replace me to accompany you to the Shang King Domain, thanks to Xia Gongzi. We're going to take care of each other this time. Zhao Ji said with a smile.
When Xia Yu heard this, he said in his heart: "Originally, the Shui clan was the help of Zhao Kai's lineage, and Shui Han'er had the possibility of winning the championship, and it was naturally Zhao Kai who accompanied him, but now it is different, he defeated Shui Han'er as soon as he appeared, and also made the Shui clan withdraw from the battle for the son, and he is close to Zhao Ji, so the best person to accompany him naturally becomes Zhao Ji." ”
"Haha, this time I went to the Shang King Domain to listen to the arrangement of my predecessors. Xia Yu said with a smile.
Xia Yu and Zhao Ji had a very happy conversation, knowing that the moon rose in the sky, Zhao Ji said goodbye and left.
Xia Yu didn't leave the house in the past two days, except for cultivation, he drank tea and enjoyed the flowers, so it was not comfortable.
However, in the past two days, I have also received some news from Zhao Ji, all about the Hundred Domains Competition, such as a genius in such and such a domain, and how is the combat power.
Xia Yu looked at these news and smiled slightly, although the strength shown by these people is far superior to that of ordinary people, compared with himself and Shui Han'er, they are not on the same level at all, and they are not a threat at all.
On this day, Xia Yu was invited to the Song Palace, and when Xia Yu walked into the main hall, he saw King Song sitting on the throne with a majestic face, and there were several people standing below, Zhao Ji and two old men stood on the left, Shui Han'er and three young men stood on the right.
As soon as Xia Yu walked into the main hall, he attracted everyone's attention, and the two old men and three young men all looked at Xia Yu with curious eyes.
Zhao Ji looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face.
Shui Han'er was calm and unfazed.
"Xia Yu has seen King Song. Xia Yu arched his hand.
"Xia Gongzi is here, and everyone is here. ”。
King Song said: "Zhao Ji, you can briefly talk about the matter of this Hundred Domains Competition." ”
King Song said that he addressed Xia Yu very politely, which made the faces of the two old men and the three young people have strange looks.
