Chapter 342: To the Royal City
Princess Hongxia left the Shuai City of the East China Sea and completed the last stop of her journey around the world, and then returned directly to the Imperial Palace.
Different from the cold and deserted when they came, now there are countless monks on the side of the long street to send each other off, although it is not awe and worship, but there is also a lot of appreciation and curiosity in their expressions.
In a short period of time, the monks of Shuai City in the East China Sea all knew that Princess Hongxia was a peerless beauty with grace and unparalleled beauty, and she could deal with the Shuai Mansion Dongshuai and a group of clan adults without falling behind, and the most important thing was that her follower, Lord Xiao Chen, was a strong existence that defeated the young marshal Zhou Huan in a head-to-head battle.
Being able to make Lord Xiao Chen so desperate and willing to be driven proves more and more that Her Royal Highness the princess is clever and skillful, and there is a little more mystery in the hearts of the monks of Shuai City in the East China Sea.
On top of the high-rise building of Shuaifu, as the tallest building in the entire East China Sea Shuai City, standing here can easily overlook any corner of the entire Shuai City.
Dongshuai Zhou Entropy stood with his hands in his hands, and the young marshal Zhou Huan and Zhou Cheng behind him stood with their hands in their hands, looking respectful.
Zhou Huan watched Princess Hongxia's chariot slowly drive out of the East China Sea Shuai City, and his face couldn't help but change for a while.
Although Dong Shuai didn't look back, he seemed to have seen the change in his expression, and said lightly: "Why is Huan'er hesitating?"
Zhou Huan's heart shook slightly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to deceive the royal father at all, so he took a step back and bowed respectfully, "Father Wang, this Xiao Chen uses the Mahayana realm cultivation as his mastery of the origin of water and fire, and his qualifications are against the sky, and now since he doesn't want to be used by me, he should get rid of it as soon as possible to prevent future troubles!"
"The child is willing to lead the strong man of the Shuai Mansion to rob and kill Princess Hongxia on the way back to the royal city, and he will definitely be able to leave his life behind!"
The voice was low, and the murderous intent lingered in it.
Hearing this, Dong Shuai was noncommittal, paused slightly and did not answer, turned to look at Zhou Cheng, and said, "Cheng'er, you may explain this matter to your second brother?"
Zhou Cheng bowed respectfully, but he didn't speak in a hurry, and when he was ready, he said in a deep voice: "The child thinks that the second brother's suggestion is not advisable, and my Donghai Marshal's Mansion should not rob and kill Xiao Chen, there are two reasons. ”
"First, that Xiao Chen won the battle of my East China Sea Shuaifu, showing the power of the anti-heaven gods, if he was robbed and killed halfway after leaving, this matter is really too obvious, and it will inevitably cause the monks of the world to look down on my East China Sea Shuaifu's mind, which will be very unfavorable for the future battle with the Wangcheng Imperial Palace for the right unification. ”
"Second, now this Xiao Chen is not used by my Shuai Mansion, but it does not mean that he cannot be recruited in the future. Now that he refuses the invitation of the royal father, it must be in the name of the orthodoxy of the imperial palace, once my Donghai Shuaifu replaces him and recruits him again, will this person still refuse? Besides, even if this Xiao Chen's qualifications are against the sky, it is impossible for him to grow up in a short period of time and become an obstacle to the pacification of the imperial palace by my Shuai Mansion, and the Shuai Mansion does not need to regard it as a major problem at the current stage. ”
Zhou Cheng's voice fell, Dong Shuai nodded slightly, what the 17th son said was indeed what he thought in his heart, but in addition to this, there was another important reason, that is, the old messenger from the Donghai Shuaifu who couldn't retreat was with him, and let Xiao Chen leave.
Although he didn't know the reason, Dong Shuai naturally didn't dare to disobey the ancestor's orders.
But he knew this in his heart, but he would never say that he knew it with the second person.
...
In the depths of the Shuaifu, on the 7th floor of the underground palace, Zhou Huan stood at the entrance, his face calm.
Princess Hongxia left today, and Xiao Chen would also leave with her and return to the royal city.
Zhou Huan raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the layers of obstacles, and landed in the long queue of chariots, with a cold meaning in his eyes, "Xiao Chen, when I fuse the power of the ancestors and step into the Ancient Wilderness and master the third origin power, that is, when I go to the royal city to fight with you, I hope you will not let me down." ”
With a low groan, the man took a step, and his figure disappeared into the pitch-black portal.
...
Deeper in the underground palace, even beyond the secret room below the ground floor, no monk knows about the existence here except for Dongshuai Zhou Huan.
An eerie altar stood here, carved with countless simple and complicated textures, and a thin figure of several corpses sat cross-legged on it, only the slightest hint of breath proved that he was still alive.
And at this moment, the altar corpse suddenly opened its eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of its mouth, "King Wu of Zhou, my dear eldest brother, I don't know if you will let go of this kind of opportunity in front of you?"
"I don't think you should be, but this little guy is definitely not a soft persimmon to be manipulated, you have to be more careful, don't suffer a big loss on him. ”

After the long procession left Shuai City in the East China Sea, Emperor Tang Ming first asked Princess Hongxia to resign under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, and then Lin Zhanpeng and others from the South China Sea tribe asked for resignation one after another.
Princess Hongxia did not stop this, Wen Yan waved goodbye, and after the resignation monk Che Yuan left, the team was also reduced by nearly half, but the Beihai tribe Situ Jian Xin and Lone Blood Lotus chose to stay, and Princess Hongxia naturally welcomed this, after a short pause, Che Yuan broke away from the control of the East China Sea Shuai City as quickly as possible, and then rushed all the way straight to the royal city.
...
"Your Highness, the old slave has mobilized all the forces that can be called upon by the East China Sea tribe to go all out to investigate that Xiao Chen's background, but there is still no gain until today. Granny Sang spoke slowly, her face quite solemn.
Mahayana realm cultivation, comprehending the dual origin power of water and fire, and the explosion of combat power can be compared to the ancient super powerhouse, this kind of young powerhouse who defy the sky should definitely not have a little reputation.
Or, like that Zhou Huan, was hidden by the East China Sea Marshal's Mansion in order to get rid of the detection of the power of the royal city.
If this is the case, then there must be a force hidden behind this Xiao Chen that has not yet surfaced, and its strength is even comparable to that of the Shuai Mansion!
It is precisely because of this that Granny Sang is uneasy.
Princess Hongxia nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled after thinking for a moment, like a hundred flowers blooming beautifully, "Mother-in-law, don't worry too much, although this Xiao Chen's background is mysterious, but now it has not shown any signs of disadvantage to the Imperial Palace of my royal city." If this person really has great power behind him, maybe the imperial palace can win him over, and his strength will definitely increase at that time. ”
"Even Dongshuai has to take action to win over the characters, and this palace naturally can't miss it. ”
Granny Sang had a thoughtful look on her face when she heard this.
In the battle of the Shuaifu, Xiao Chen defeated Zhou Huan to win, and Dongshuai jokingly invited Xiao Chen to join the Donghai Shuaifu and serve as the commander of the forbidden army of the Shuaifu, and gave the 13th daughter to marry Qin and Jin.
This kind of rhetoric is just to ensure that the advance and retreat do not lose face, everyone knows in their hearts, as long as Xiao Chen nods, these promises will be fulfilled immediately, and he will become one of the high-level officials of the East China Sea Marshal Mansion in one fell swoop.
It is necessary to know that the Marshal's forbidden army is the most powerful army force in the marshal's house, although there are not many personnel, but its combat effectiveness is amazing, and those who can always serve as the commander of the marshal's forbidden army must be the blood of the marshal's lineage, or a strong henchman who can be absolutely trusted. Dongshuai was invited to this position, and he married his daughter, which has already demonstrated enough sincerity!
Princess Hongxia had already changed color at that time, and obviously did not expect that the Shuai Mansion would pay such a big price, but fortunately, Xiao Chen hesitated a little and still chose to decline, and Dong Shuai smiled and did not mention this matter again.
"This Xiao Chen can refuse such an invitation from the Shuai Mansion, there must be a secret secret, but I don't know what he is doing. Granny Sang said in a low voice, "Could it be... Could it be that this person really covets His Royal Highness, and wants to promise His Royal Highness to marry His Highness with the promise of the Imperial Palace. ”
Princess Hongxia's pretty face was slightly red, for some reason there was a figure in her mind that Xiao Chen stepped on the void after defeating Zhou Huan, and couldn't help but panic, took a deep breath, and then suppressed all the thoughts in her mind, "Mother-in-law, don't worry too much, Hongxia can see this matter quite clearly, even if this Xiao Chen gets the permission of the imperial palace, it will definitely not be used for men and women." ”
Once she regained her composure, she became the calculating princess of the royal city again, "At least now he has a request for my royal palace, I don't need to worry, as long as I wait patiently, he will show his intentions." ”
Granny Sang's eyes were slightly strange, and she swept over Princess Hongxia, and then nodded, but she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, "How can there be a girl who doesn't have a spring, maybe His Royal Highness really has a good impression of this Xiao Chen, but... Even if he did ask for it, there would be no way you could be together."
Princess Hongxia didn't notice the change in Granny Sang's expression, and groaned slightly, "Has the matter been arranged?"
"Don't worry, the princess has already set it up, just 3 days later. ”
"Well, I know, my mother-in-law has been tired in recent days, so let's go rest. ”
"Yes, Your Highness, the old slave retires. ”

"Did you propose to the family to go to the royal city to see the movements of the imperial palace?" Situ Jianxin had a dark face, if he hadn't considered that he was now the opponent of this kid with his hands and feet combined, he would have turned his face a long time ago!
It was easy to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess to live a tiring life of traveling around the world, and now that Xiao Chen was born, seeing that they no longer had the opportunity to capture the heart of His Royal Highness, they just took this opportunity to say goodbye to the tribe and continue to live the previous carefree life, which is not much better than the careful calculations now, who would have thought that this person would suddenly make this current thing, and he also persuaded the old guy of the two major families and a group of people to agree.
It's not like there's nothing to blame!
And the most important point is that why do you want to pull him in Situ Dashao, don't bring such a playful person!
The Lone Blood Lotus still looked cool, and she didn't raise her head when she heard this, and carefully wiped the long sword in her hand, "The Imperial Palace and the East China Sea Marshal's Mansion have torn their faces, and when you go to the royal city, you can directly observe the movements of the Imperial Palace, so that the tribe can get first-hand information and adapt to it, and protect their own interests from damage in the upcoming shock." ”
The corners of Situ Jianxin's eyes twitched, "You kid don't use this set of high-sounding reasons to tell me, you can use these nonsense to fool those old guys in the family, but you can't fool me!"
"Say, are you still not dead set on thinking about fighting with that Xiao Chen?"
The lone blood lotus nodded directly quite sincerely, with a hot look in her eyes, and nodded: "Not bad!"
Situ Dashao's whole body trembled violently, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at this guy with an unbelievable look on his face, "Please wake up, that kind of super pervert is not something that a little pervert like you can provoke, be careful to put your own life into it!"
The Lone Blood Lotus was unmoved, bowing her head and wiping her sword.
Situ Jianxin chattered for a while, and in the end he could only wail in annoyance, muttering again and again that he was careless in meeting someone and making friends.
Lonely Blood Lotus suddenly raised her head and looked at Situ Dashao with a faint smile on her face.
The chatter came to an abrupt end.
