Volume 11 Chapter 2
Hong Yu didn't expect her to really understand, and hurriedly wanted to get the design drawing back: "No, Your Highness, you think too much." Mei Qianwu pushed him away and continued to read: "Don't you want to lie to me, here, here, it's clearly a trap, and this one is too." This one is too, these are a lot! Hong Yu, tell me honestly, what kind of building is this?"
Hong Yu was a little skeptical: "You understand everything?"
"Of course, who is this princess, and you want to hide this little bit from me?" Mei Qianwu was triumphant: "Hey, you explain honestly, what are you designing this for?"
"Is this really my own yard?"
"Why are you living and designing so many traps yourself?"
Hong Yu rolled his eyes, he couldn't explain to Princess Qianwu, this was completely his bad taste.
Princess Qianwu has already flipped through all the design drafts, and on one of them, there are three words written on it: "Chongxiao Tower?"
Hong Yu smiled and said, "That's right, Chongxiaolou." You see, I am a well-known evil young man in Wudu, and it is said that my notoriety has spread far and wide in Canglan and Chu Yue. I guess it won't be long before Hanalang and Ha-sang will find out. Then the target of Ben Evil Shao is Dijon.
At that time, the whole world will know that there is such a super villain as me, and there must be many chivalrous people who want to kill me under the guise of acting for the heavens, rob my women and silver, and use my head to establish their prestige, I am very dangerous!
When the time comes, those heroes want to kill me, they must break through the Chongxiao Tower, and this building will become a place for the bones of the righteous and righteous, the patron saint of evil, and a comfortable nest for the evil......
Mei Qianwu was already laughing so hard that her stomach hurt: "You, you, you, you're really bad, you're very happy!"
Hong Yu grinned: "How is it, don't you also think the idea of Chongxiao Tower is very interesting?"
Mei Qianwu gave him a roll of his eyes: "Okay, okay, don't be beautiful." She was full of interest: "When your Chongxiao Tower is completed, you must invite me to come and see it." ”
Hong Yu smiled: "It should be after it is completed, if there is a young man from the rivers and lakes who comes to kill me, a thief, you can come and observe." ”
Mei Qianwu doesn't pay attention to the ladylike demeanor of hahadaxiao.
Because of the "competition to recruit relatives", she was a little depressed, but when she came to Hong Yu, she was gaged by this lazy guy, and haha smiled and felt better again.
Hong Yu saw that the time was almost up, sent Mei Qianwu away, and prepared to go to the prince's mansion of the eldest prince. Mei Qianwu repeatedly told him to help him find a way.
Hong Yu promised on his lips, but he didn't care much in his heart. He has a good impression of Mei Qianwu, and the two can talk to each other, but let him stand up and rescue Mei Qianwu...... Please, if that's the case, wouldn't it be a neurastic if I had tried my best to ask the emperor for marriage?
The Grand Prince's Mansion is as usual today, and it seems that tonight's banquet is not large. The housekeepers and subordinates in the house are very familiar with Hong Yu, and they introduced him with a smile.
The eldest prince was unexpectedly already waiting for him in the banquet hall today, and when he saw him coming, haha stood up with a smile, grabbed Hong Yu's arm and patted it: "Good job, good job!"
Tacit.
The eldest prince can't say that Hong Yu defeated Gao Chenghong, which is equivalent to slapping the second child in the face, but the joy in his heart can be imagined. Hong Yu also smiled and didn't say much about this topic. "I'm going to have a few more drinks today and celebrate. Come, let me introduce you to a few friends, all of them are heroes!" The eldest prince pulled this Hong Yu over, and Hong Yu noticed that there were already three people sitting in the banquet hall.
"This one is Zhong Yushu, the young master of the Zhong family in the Northwest Jade City, he is already in the realm of the middle stage of the Sixth Rank True Quenching, and in the entire Great Xia, there are not many young talents who can have such a realm at this age. Moreover, the Zhong family dominates the Jade City and controls more than seventy percent of our jade material trading in Great Xia!"
Zhong Yushu's appearance of twenty-three or four is much older than Hong Yu, and it is indeed not simple to be in the middle stage of the six-grade true quenching at this age, but Hong Yu has seen too many cultivation geniuses, and he doesn't care much about Zhong Yushu's realm, but it is the strength of the Zhong family introduced by the eldest prince later, which makes him impressed.
Jade City is located in the remote northwest region, and it is a very strange city under the rule of Great Xia. Water is scarce, food production is extremely low, and the temperature difference between day and night is staggering, so it can be said that it is not a place for people to stay.
Every year, Great Xia has to pass through rugged roads to transport a large amount of grain and fresh water to Yucheng. This also leads to the high prices of various daily necessities in Yucheng, such as grain, vegetables, and fresh water, which are more expensive than those in Wudu City.
However, in the Jade City, hundreds of thousands of people are stationed all year round. This can also be called a "big city" for Great Xia.
The reason why there are so many people is entirely because of the jade industry.
And the jade of Great Xia is not just a plaything. The most precious of jade are all kinds of precious jade materials. For example, the Huilong golden jade, condensing water jade, and fire vein red jade that are no less precious than the earth fire Gengjin, such as the earth heart jade and the dragon-shaped true jade, which are still more precious than the earth fire Gengjin.
The seventy percent share mentioned by the eldest prince is not only ordinary jade, but also includes these regular jade materials.
And the entire Jade City can account for about ninety percent of the jade industry in Great Xia, of which seventy percent belongs to the Zhong family! Hundreds of thousands of people in Jade City, almost all of them rely on the jade industry for their livelihood, that is to say, the Zhong family is equivalent to indirectly controlling seventy percent of these hundreds of thousands of people!
With such financial resources, even Hong Yu is very jealous.
Zhong Yushu smiled slightly, and took the initiative to bow his hand to Hong Yu: "Yu Shaowei is famous, I have heard of it in Yucheng." ”
Hong Yu smiled and said a little embarrassed: "What is the prestige, is it notorious?" The two of them hahadaxiao together, and they both look good at each other. The eldest prince pointed to another person and said: "This is Wang Chengye, the young master of the Wang family in Luorong City, Brother Wang is already a master in the late stage of the Seventh Rank Soul Star at a young age, and his future is limitless." Moreover, the Wang family is our Great Xia, and it is the only family that controls the great trade road that connects the north and the south! ”
Wang Chengye has the fair skin and not tall figure of the southerners of Great Xia, and when he came to Wudu, he looked a little shy, smiled at Hong Yu, and arched his hand: "Brother Hong is good." ”
Hong Yu also returned the salute: "Brother Wang is good." "I wasn't too impressed.
Zuihou was alone, slender and stood to the side with a faint smile on his face. The eldest prince introduced: "This is Chang Kai, the young master of the Chang family in Linshi City, Linshi City is the most important city on the way to Hualang in Great Xia, Hong Yu, you are going to go to Hualang next, you can get closer to Chang Kai, with the support of their Chang family, your trip to Hualang Country will be much easier!"
Hong Yu went to Hualang Country to play prestige, and he didn't need any "support" at all, but since the eldest prince said so, he also smiled and bowed his hand, and said politely at will: "Please also ask Brother Chang to help me a lot." ”
Chang Kai haha smiled, his expression was very flying, and he patted Hong Yu's shoulder hard: "Don't worry, when you get to the east, I will cover you, near the stone city, there is nothing that our Chang family can't settle." ”
Hong Yu shook his head secretly, among the three people, Zhong Yushu is the most proficient in life, Wang Chengye is the most calm, and the one who knows the most is Chang Kai.
Hong Yu looked at the eldest prince, who gave him a look, and Hong Yu didn't bother with Chang Kai, it was estimated that the eldest prince had a deal with the Chang family.
The second prince has been "moving" frequently recently, and the eldest prince seems to be unable to sit still, and began to contact the family outside the Wudu to further gain support.
This move, whether it is good or bad, Hong Yu can't figure it out, after all, he has very little experience in this struggle, but he is very keen, and he vaguely feels that this is probably not a good move.
"Come on, it's rare for everyone to get together today, let's not get drunk and don't go home!" The eldest prince was very enthusiastic, and everyone was also funny, saying yes in unison.
The banquet began, and the dancers sang and danced. The four of them were staggered, but they were happy.
Hong Yu has not drunk like this for a long time, the eldest prince has a treat, the wine is naturally not bad, the ancient demon totem is full of joy, and the wine in the entire Tianquan cave is soaring.
Halfway through the drink, Chang Kai "took the initiative". On such an occasion, only people like him would think that everyone really let go and drink without scruples.
Hong Yu secretly paid attention, Zhong Yushu and Wang Chengye had further become closer to the eldest prince between some very casual conversations, and these means were not possessed by Hong Yu. It's just that he can't learn this kind of long-sleeved and good dancing method, and he doesn't bother to learn it, so he is even more arrogant, and with his identity, he doesn't have to learn it at all.
Chang Kai is the only one who seems to be very happy with everyone, but he has not really established a strong relationship with anyone.
"Come, Your Highness, I will toast you!" As he spoke, he did it, and the eldest prince smiled slightly, and also took a drink. Drinking with His Royal Highness, Chang Kai still had some scruples, and then when he arrived at Zhong Yushu and Wang Chengye, he had no scruples, and he forced Zhong Yushu and Wang Chengye to have three glasses with him.
Zhong Yushu is a little better, Yucheng is located in the northwest, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and he often drinks to warm up at night, and the amount of alcohol is good. Wang Chengye can't do it, the wine that Luorong City drinks is very low, and when he arrives in Wudu, he is very unaccustomed to the spirits in the north, but he was forced by Chang Kai to drink three glasses in a row, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.
Chang Kai hahadaxiao hugged Wang Chengye and teased: "Xiao Wang, you still have to practice, in our place, a man who can't drink is not a man, hahaha!"
