Chapter 305: Lihua's dedication
Xiao Yu naturally didn't know that there was already a storm outside the River Styx, and the soldiers were hidden. At this time, he was being treated as a guest of honor by the Styx Carp Clan, and was admired by hundreds of civil and military officials in the Carp Palace. Although the Styx carp clan was also born in the cold and gloomy underworld, this does not prevent them from being naturally hospitable.
Therefore, when the Lihuang arranged the position of the feast, he placed Xiao Yu in the first position on the lower right of the Lihuang, and sat across the table from the Yuetaishi on the left. That's not all, Emperor Lihuang also arranged for his second daughter Princess Lihua to accompany Xiao Yu and pour wine and food for him, an honor that no one has ever won in the past. It can be seen that the koi people attach great importance to Xiao Yu.
Of course, the carp emperor did this, in fact, it was not wrong, it was Xiao Yu who made the koi clan have another upper realm divine dragon, and from then on, the koi clan has a backer again, and anyone who wants to move the Styx carp clan has to weigh it. In other words, this backer was brought by Xiao Yu to the koi clan, and Xiao Yu is the great benefactor of the koi clan. Therefore, it is understandable that the carp emperor treats Xiao Yu so kindly.
"Brother Xiao, you are the great benefactor of my koi clan, and this seat respects you on behalf of the koi clan," the carp emperor raised the white jade cup in his hand and smiled at Xiao Yu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Li!" Xiao Yu hurriedly got up and raised his head to drink the elixir and jade liquid in his cup, although the underworld will never see the sun, but the process of brewing wine is not inferior in the slightest. "Since Brother Xiao has come to my Styx Carp Clan, let's have fun here with peace of mind, if you need anything, just mention it to this seat, don't be polite" The Carp Emperor smiled sincerely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Carp!" Xiao Yu replied respectfully, Xiao Yu still has a good impression of the Emperor Carp who dared to do it against the Emperor Ming at this critical moment, if he wants to act in the underworld in the future, maybe he needs his help?
"Brother Xiao doesn't have to be polite! just like in your own home, don't be restrained" After the carp emperor finished speaking, he pointed to the second princess next to Xiao Yu and said, "Hua'er, this Xiao brother is the great benefactor of my koi clan, you will take care of Brother Xiao during this time, take him around, don't neglect Brother Xiao"
Lihua stared at his father with a pair of beautiful eyes, with an incredible expression on his face, no matter how noble this Xiao Yu is, he doesn't need to be accompanied by his own princess, right? You must know that you represent the image of the koi clan, let the princess of the koi clan accompany an outsider, and call her like a maid, what is wrong with her father? Lihua was puzzled.
However, she will never refuse her father's request, and it is useless to refuse, his father is the supreme of the Styx carp clan, and even if he is his daughter, he can't disobey him.
Thinking of this, Lihua replied in a somewhat sad whisper, "Yes! Your Majesty!", there was some resentment and helplessness in the emperor's house.
Xiao Yu was also a little surprised by the arrangement of the carp emperor, turned her head to look at the second princess Lihua who looked aggrieved beside her, and was faintly excited in her heart, it must be very interesting to toss such a high-ranking princess, especially when she was reluctant but had to obey.
After a feast, almost the entire civil and military officials of the Ligong Palace toasted Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also saluted one by one, and he couldn't lose his courtesy, but he bittered the second princess Lihua who poured wine next to him. I don't know if Xiao Yu deliberately played tricks on the second palace master, not only paid tribute to the civil and military officials, but also took the initiative to get out of his seat and toast to the ministers.
After the banquet, Lihua, the lord of the second palace, returned to his residence, crying profusely, it was called a grievance, and after crying his nose, he went to the palace to find the carp queen and asked the carp emperor to cancel the holy decree to let her accompany Xiao Yu.
The Lihuang was furious, pointed at Lihua and scolded, "If you still admit that it is my daughter, do what I say, and entertain the great benefactor of my Li clan, if you don't admit that it is the second princess of my Li clan, then you are free!
Lihua was stunned by the words of the carp emperor, he had never seen the carp emperor lose his temper so much, and now he actually said such cruel words to himself, Lihua returned to his boudoir with a confused face, and cried all night in his life, and finally decided to obey the will of the carp emperor to serve Xiao Yu, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.
Just after Lihua left crying and nose, there were faint tears flashing on the face of the carp emperor's knife and axe, and the carp queen came over and gently held his slightly trembling hand, "Your Majesty! Don't blame yourself! I believe Hua'er will understand your difficulties."
After listening to the words of the carp queen, the carp emperor slowly came back to his senses, and said with a sad and indignant face, "I, the carp emperor, have really done enough, and I have to exchange my daughter for peace!"
The carp queen shook her head slightly, "In that person's eyes, we are all dispensable pawns, what can we do if we don't do this? I just hope that after Hua'er follows this Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu can treat her well!
The carp emperor punched the armrest of the dragon chair beside him, and the armrest was immediately smashed to the ground, which shows how angry he was in his heart at this time.
Xiao Yu was placed in an exquisite courtyard made of pure crystal, and the lavish decoration inside was no less luxurious than that of the carp emperor's bedroom, in fact, this courtyard was originally one of the carp emperor's bedrooms.
The courtyard is carefully built by dozens of craftsmen of the carp tribe, and it is like a dream space in it, which makes Xiao Yu feel like he is in the clouds. There are thirty-two stunning palace maids in the courtyard for Xiao Yu to call at will.
What made Xiao Yu even more puzzled was that not long after Xiao Yu entered the courtyard, Lihua, the master of the second palace who had changed into a purple dress, walked in, just like the previous cold and elegant, but there was a little more melancholy between his eyebrows.
"Second princess, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yu was a little unsure, which one was the carp emperor playing, if he asked the second palace master to pour wine for himself before, it was purely to thank himself for helping Li Ming successfully jump the dragon gate, thus adding an upper realm divine dragon to the koi clan, and deliberately made it for outsiders to see, but now what do you want to do when you send the second princess to her own place of residence?
Xiao Yu asked herself that her charm had not yet reached the point of letting the second princess make a promise, she must have come on the order of her Laozi Lihuang this time, but Xiao Yu just couldn't figure it out, what could not be said tomorrow? Now is the rest time, if people know that this lonely man and widow stay together late at night, what is the matter.
The second princess glanced at him angrily, walked to the crystal table next to her and sat down, poured a cup of tea, hid her face and raised her sleeves to sip.
Xiao Yu's gaze lingered unscrupulously on Lihua's convex and backward figure, and secretly slandered in his heart, he wouldn't be here to seduce Lao Tzu, right?
To tell the truth, although Lihua was born beautiful and had a first-class figure, she was still much inferior to the women around Xiao Yu, and she was almost hot if she wanted to seduce Xiao Yu to achieve her ulterior motives.
Since she didn't explain her intentions, Xiao Yu didn't bother to bird her, so she returned to the inner courtyard of the dormitory and lay down on the luxurious crystal bed, staring at the colorful crystal ceiling above her head, quietly thinking about the strange events that had happened to her recently.
First of all, he inexplicably helped Li Ming successfully jump the dragon gate, in fact, until now, Xiao Yu didn't understand why he was able to help him jump the dragon gate, he didn't have any special skills, and he didn't use any special means at all, if he had to say what special means he used, it was that the seven-star magic trick on his body helped Li Ming break through the enchantment on Longmen Mountain.
But was it really that he helped him break through the barrier and successfully jump the dragon gate? Or was everything already doomed in the dark, and he just happened to meet it by chance.
What's even more strange is the attitude of the carp emperor towards himself, before the carp emperor was quite indifferent to himself, and it can even be said that he was disdainful, from the time when the carp emperor forcibly summoned the carp ming from his side, it can be seen why he helped the carp ming successfully jump the dragon gate, the carp emperor's attitude towards himself took a 180-degree turn, and even did not hesitate to confront the underworld emperor head-on.
If it was just because Xiao Yu helped Li Ming successfully jump the Dragon Gate, thus creating an Upper Realm Divine Dragon for the Koi clan, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Xiao Yu. If it was just because of this, the carp emperor could have rewarded himself with a lot of money, why would he force the second princess to do this to please herself. What is the ulterior motive here?
Where is the value of his own use of the Lihuang or the Koi clan? This is Xiao Yu's incomprehensible confusion, it stands to reason that he has no use value at all in the underworld except for causing a lot of trouble and attracting the underworld army to be wanted and pursued everywhere, so why would the Lihuang recklessly befriend himself regardless of the consequences? Could it be that the Lihuang knows the identity of his successor from generation to generation in the Eastern Emperor? If this is really the case, maybe everything can be explained.
If this is really the case, then the identity of the carp emperor is also questionable, and he is very likely to be a pawn arranged by the Eastern Emperor. Or that the entire koi clan was arranged by the Eastern Emperor to pave the way for himself in the underworld, and when he thought of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be impressed by the magnificent layout of the Eastern Emperor, which regarded the whole world as a chess game for his revenge.
After figuring it out, Xiao Yu calmed down, and no longer paid attention to the second princess outside, for this kind of woman, Xiao Yu was honestly not interested, he was not short of women, there was no need to find himself unhappy, as for what the carp emperor thought, he didn't bother to care. As long as the Emperor Lihuang abides by the orders of the Eastern Emperor, it is enough to help himself at a critical moment.
However, what made Xiao Yu speechless was that a few days later, Lihua, who had always been high, took the initiative to lie on her bed, and she didn't know how much effort she put into her back and how much courage she mustered before she decided to dedicate herself to someone she hated.
