Chapter 3: Have you heard of Yiyang?

The island and beach gradually blurred, the illusory space disappeared, and Shen Zhui's spiritual thoughts returned to his body.

Throughout the whole process, Zixuan just expressed her love for her, but she was somewhat restrained and did not put a lot of pressure on Shen Zhui. Shen Zhui is so smart, he naturally understands Shangrao's thoughts, and he can't help but feel more emotional and at the same time become more determined.

A new cup of tea was pushed in front of him, indicating to Shen Zhui to drink it, and Zhao Xing picked up the tea cup himself.

Shen Zhui took a deep breath and drank the new tea.

Feeling that Shen Zhui's state of mind had returned to peace, Zhao Xiu nodded and gave Shen Zhui some buffering time without saying anything.

After a moment, Shen Zhui cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Zhao Xing put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Just keep some things in mind. I help you partly because of your devotion to fighting for the Wu'an Army, and partly because of Girl Xuan. When we were in the South China Sea, we were taught by Fairy Xuanyue. Enhui. So you don’t have to be too humble."

In addition, there are some good things that Xuan Yatou left for you in the storage ring. You can take a look. "

Shen Zhui nodded and took out the contents of the storage ring.

There are many things, most of which are edible, such as thousand-year-old red fruit and sea spirit fruit, which can heal wounds and increase cultivation. Almost everything is extremely precious.

These South China Sea specialties can only be enjoyed by the royal family. They are precious resources at the level of 'tribute'. Even if they are crowned kings, only some of them can receive royal rewards and be lucky enough to taste them. As for ordinary true gods, you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.

In this gift, there are thirty boxes of red fruits alone. The power contained in such a red fruit is soft and mellow, but its stamina is endless.

If one is swallowed, a person can exert extraordinary combat power in a short period of time. If you don't want to waste it, you need to use secret methods to collect the essence and absorb it slowly.

Another example is Dragon Water Miracle Ginseng, which is one of the wonders of water. After swallowing it, it can increase the user's understanding of the rules of water by more than ten times within a certain period of time.

Someone once understood the advanced rule of Beiming Renshui after taking Longshui Qigenshu! As a result, the price of Dragon Water Extraordinary Ginseng skyrocketed, and it was listed as a tribute to the royal family. The starting price of a Dragon Water Extraordinary Ginseng on the black market was at least 5,000 Lucky Coins!

Of course, in Zixuan's eyes, there are only two simple words: delicious.

In addition, there are many expensive elixirs such as Nanling Pill, Zhuque Pill, and Xuanxing Pill.

Just the faint fluctuation of power frightened Shen Zhui. The whole heart palace seems to have a strange fragrance!

"With so many good things, I'm afraid Xuan Yatou may not have used all her own resources." Zhao Xing shook his head slightly and tried not to look at these things.

Every precious treasure is sold at a high price individually, but in Shen Zhui's hands, they all start at ten cents!

This kind of wealth cannot be obtained by ordinary true gods!

He was a crowned king, but now he had the urge to snatch Shen Zhui away, which showed how precious this treasure was.

Although Shen Zhui couldn't recognize all these things, he could detect a few things from Zhao Xin's expression. Hearing that Zhao Xing was Zixuan taking out her savings, she couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart.

"Put it away. It's best not to let anyone know that you have these things." Zhao Xing waved his hand. "These magical fruits and elixirs are all treasures that will greatly improve you. Don't expose them easily, let alone sell them."

"I understand." Shen Zhui nodded. Only the king can enjoy these things openly, because the only source is the annual gift from the royal family.

Since something is given by the royal family, it is holy grace! It would be disrespectful to sell it!

Therefore, there are very few of them circulating on the black market. If he, a Wuhou, sells these things, he will be targeted immediately, causing trouble, and possibly killing him.

"Huh? What is this?" Just when Shen Zhui was about to put everything in, there was a piece of silver metal with a faint starlight among the many treasures.

This silver metal is square in shape, no more than the size of a palm, but it is densely engraved with inscriptions and symbols. However, it is obscure and difficult to understand, and it is not a general official document of the Great Zhou Dynasty at all.

Whoosh~ Zhao Xing took the silver metal in his hand, and after looking at it carefully for a moment, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Girl Xuan is so brave!"

Shen Zhui was also shocked. He was not afraid that Zhao Xing would steal his things, but what could it be that even King Zhao was amazed by?

"My lord, is this thing very troublesome? Will she be okay?"

Zhao Xing threw the silver metal to Shen Zhui, shook his head and said: "This is the supreme secret code of Xuanyue Immortal Island, "Nine Revolutions of Stars". Only the sect masters and descendants of Xuanyue Immortal Island can practice the complete technique. Method. Among them is the "Xuan Yue Star Body" body training secret method. I didn't expect that she would steal all this."

"If I guess correctly, this should have been stolen from Imperial Concubine Xuan Yue. It is a complete secret technique."

"What?" Shen Zhui was also startled, staring blankly at the piece of silver metal in his hand.

The martial arts scripture once said that to reach the true god level, you need to change your skills at the venerable level. The most important thing is to condense the divine body. Among all the techniques below, the first one is "Imperial Dao Wuji", and the second one is "Nine Nether Divine Body".

The third one is this "Xuan Yue Star"!

Zixuan actually stole the complete secret book of Xuanyue Immortal Island?

"Her mother is Imperial Concubine Xuanyue, and she is also the actual ruler of Xuanyue Fairy Island. It can't be faked." Zhao Xing said with emotion.

Shen Zhui felt quite complicated. He was worried whether Zixuan would be punished for this, but he was also touched by Zixuan's expression of her feelings.

"Will my practicing this skill bring her trouble?" Shen Zhui asked. If this thing would bring a lot of trouble to Zixuan, he would rather not practice it.

"She is a princess and a descendant of Xuanyue Immortal Island. She is not in big trouble. No one can do anything to her." Zhao Xing said with a smile. "I'll just cut you off and go to school."

"..."

"On Xuanyue Immortal Island, women are not passed on to men. The status of men in Xuanyue Immortal Island is very low. You, an outsider, have practiced this supreme secret method. Once someone discovers it, you will be in big trouble."

"The only man who is qualified to practice the complete secret code can only be the Taoist companion of Fairy Xuanyue."

"Does this mean that only His Majesty is qualified here?" Shen Zhui smiled bitterly. The threshold for practicing this secret book is really high enough.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." Zhao Xing smiled. "There are still people who have practiced some of the Nine-turn Star Art. Disciples, elders, and guests who have made significant contributions to Xuanyue Immortal Island have all practiced the previous levels."

"It's just that you need to return this thing as soon as possible. Once someone discovers that you have learned the complete secret code. And you are not engaged to the princess, then you will only die."

Shen Zhui nodded, he finally understood.

As long as you don't learn everything, the possibility of being discovered is very high.

Besides, this secret code cannot be learned just by learning it. Want to practice it to the highest level? That can't be done in a short while.

"The Fan family's request to marry the princess is probably because they want to obtain this top skill that can attack the true gods for the Fan family's eldest son." Zhao Xin. "It's not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Shen Zhui didn't say much, but silently put away the "Nine Revolutions of Stars".

Zixuan Bingxue is smart and specially sent this secret book, which may have some meaning.

That is to put a bet in King Zhao’s heart for yourself!

If it were just Shen Zhui, the Marquis of Wu, it would not be worth the risk for King Zhao to go against the Fan family.

Love is a matter of love, but when it comes to becoming a king, there are many things to consider.

Zhao Xing might help Shen Zhui, but help is still help, even a little help is still help. Proposing marriage is only the first step. If you just mention it and ignore the subsequent obstacles, it will be in vain.

Faced with huge interest conflicts and powerful enemies, why should King Zhao take such a big risk? Just a promise?

Facing the Fan family, King Zhao may not be determined to stand against the Fan family.

Shen Zhui alone is not enough.

But now that this secret book is sent here, it means a lot. This proves that Princess Nanhai is not just hot-headed, and is willing to take such a big risk to send this secret book. It also proves Shen Zhui's status in Zixuan's heart.

If you don't want to offend the Fan family, can you offend Zixuan, who will definitely control Xuanyue Immortal Island in the future?

How could Zhao Xing not understand the meaning of becoming the King of Zhao? The moment he got it, he understood it, so he sighed. One by one, they are not fuel-efficient lamps!

There was silence between the two for a while.

Shen Zhui was speechless, he also knew that everything he had now was useless.

It was impossible for him to come up with more chips to raise himself. Zixuan has gone to the extreme.

Zhao Xing's eyes were calm and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

After a while, the peaceful and somewhat heavy atmosphere was broken.

"Wow~" The third cup of new tea was poured. The teacup was pushed in front of Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui picked up the teacup very solemnly, cupped the teacup with both hands, and drank the tea silently.

Everything is without saying a word Zheng

…………

April 14th, the day before departure.

The sensation caused by the reward had just subsided a little, when another piece of news shocked all parties.

Champion Hou Shenzhui worships King Zhao as his teacher! Seek enlightenment from King Zhao!

King Zhao has been fighting for many years and has never had a disciple, so Shen Zhui can be regarded as King Zhao's first disciple!

Although Shen Zhui already had a master, it was not uncommon in this world for him to have many masters. Many people have more than one master on their journey to seek the Tao, and some even learn from multiple schools.

Ruchen Zhui, besides Lu Yuanwei, can also be regarded as a disciple of Venerable Ciyun. It's just that to some extent, the first master when he was weak will be closer, while the affection later will be slightly weaker.

For example, Shen Zhui calls Lu Yuanwei his master here, because he has worshiped Lu Yuanwei as his master since he was weak. Lu Yuanwei has devoted a lot of resources to train him to his current level. Master and master, the relationship is as close as father and son.

But he became a disciple of King Zhao just to seek enlightenment. Just call me teacher, the relationship is weaker than Master.

Usually in official circles, if an official commits a capital crime, even if the master does not know about it, he will be implicated. But if the teacher did not make the same mistake, he would not be held accountable.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the difference is actually not big.

As the first disciple of King Zhao, Shen Zhui is of great significance, and King Zhao also played an important role in Shen Zhui's rise in the Wu'an army. On the critical land, a split body of spiritual thoughts was even created to protect Shen Zhui. Now that there is a master-disciple relationship between the two, will their friendship become estranged?

The news spread like wings, and all forces were shaken by it.

"King Zhao has accepted the champion as his disciple, tsk tsk, Shen Zhui is such a blessing! Rumor has it that King Zhao has top true god power!"

"With the support of a prince, who can challenge Shen Zhui's position in the Zhao Kingdom in the future?"

"Huh, after being awarded the title of Champion Marquis, I'm afraid the court won't let Shen return to the Kingdom of Zhao."

"That's also a promising future!"

"I'm so envious. If I were Shen Zhui, I would just worship King Zhao as my adoptive father. No, I can just call him my biological father!"

"Brother, wake up, it's Bai now..."

"..."

Within the Wu'an army, there was endless discussion. As the news spread, not only the existing forces in Zhao State re-evaluated Shen Zhui's weight, but even the other neighboring vassal states had to re-examine the champion.

Congratulatory notes and gifts continued to be sent to the army.

However, they were all rejected by King Zhao, saying that he was about to enter the capital and there was no time to hold a banquet for apprenticeship, so he could only postpone the reception. This caused everyone to feel regretful, thinking that this champion was too low-key, and they had never seen him since he became a prince.

But in the army, a special banquet was still held to make this relationship public.

At that time, many main officials from the army came to the Heart Palace, as well as various generals from the Zhao Kingdom, all of whom were above the middle rank of the Venerable. The other two Wuhou, Dingwuhou and Shenjianhou were also invited to bear witness.

At this point, the master-disciple relationship was finalized.

…………

On April 15, King Zhao's honor guard set off.

A total of seventy-two military generals left Zhao for the capital, including champion Hou Shenchui, Wenxin Hou Lu Yuanwei, Xia Feihu and other top military merit list.

In the vast sky, dragon bow tower ships were uniformly following behind King Zhao's golden dragon warship.

The Golden Dragon Warship is made from an entire ancient dragon. From the outside, it looks like a living dragon flying around. In addition, there are six living thousand-year-old dragons pulling the boat and clearing the way at the front of the ceremonial guard.

The king with a different surname can be considered a member of the royal family, so he is fully qualified to meet this standard. In addition to King Zhao, Marquis Wenxin and Champion all took the Longshoulou boat.

After leaving the territory of Zhao State, the formation of the team changed.

The Longshoulou boat led by Shen Zhui took the lead and opened the way at the front of the team. Marquis Wenxin, Lu Yuanwei, was at the end, guarding the golden dragon warship that King Zhao was riding in the middle.

Shen Zhui stood on the deck of the Longshoulou ship, standing on the two huge fluttering war flags. The yellow war flags were embroidered with the word "Be Zhao". The slightly shorter purple battle flag is embroidered with the word "Shen".

The banner of the feudal king is embroidered with a golden dragon, and the banner of the Marquis of Wu is embroidered with a unicorn.

The rest are not qualified to raise banners. Because the people entering Beijing at this moment have already lost their military ranks. Counting only the title, a mere earl is not qualified to show his banner in front of King Zhao.

There were footsteps behind him, and Shen Zhui asked without looking back.

"What happened to the adopted father and adopted mother?"

Shen Xinlan slowly walked to Shen Zhui's left side, turned her head slightly and said, "Already asleep."

"You are at the critical moment of breakthrough, so you don't have to be distracted to see me." Shen Zhui said with a smile. He is going to the capital, and according to custom, he will stay in the capital for at least seven years. Of course he was worried about leaving his relatives behind, so he simply took them with him. Anyway, as Marquis Wu, he still had no worries about having no place to house his relatives in the capital.

Shen Xinlan glanced at Shen Zhui. Compared with before in the Jiuyou Realm, Shen Zhui was a little less youthful and a little more resolute. It is hard to imagine that the person standing in front of him is the Great Zhou Wuhou, and he is the most glorious one!

"It's not advisable to work behind closed doors. After returning to Dazhou, I haven't even experienced a single battle." Shen Xinlan shook her head.

"Yes." Shen Zhui turned around. "Then I'll have a couple of tricks with my sworn sister? I won't be able to reach the capital in less than ten and a half months."

"You?" Shen Xinlan's eyes lit up. "You are not trying to open the way for King Zhao..."

"I have a clone." Shen Zhui said with a smile. "After all, King Zhao is not a three-year-old child. I, as a guard, am just a symbol. Who really dares to attack King Zhao's guard of honor?"

"Hmph, it's just a clone. You look down on me too much." Shen Xinlan said. "At least summon all seven of your clones."

"Okay." Shen Zhui nodded with a smile. Although he estimated that a clone would be enough, he couldn't dampen the sworn sister's interest.

Shen Xinlan turned around and returned to the ship. The dragon's head tower ship was very big. Shen Zhui's dragon's head tower ship also had special treatment. It had its own space inside, which was completely enhanced according to Wuhou's standards. The training room and rest room are all fully equipped, you're welcome, and they can even provide housing for an army of ten thousand people.

The seven Shen Zhui followed Shen Xinlan into the training room one by one, while Shen Zhui's true form was still standing on the deck.

After a while, the token on Shen Zhui's body moved slightly. A voice came into his ears: "Shen Zhui, come over here. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com"

"Yes, teacher." Shen Zhui flashed and immediately flew to the Golden Dragon Warship.

After flying to the Golden Dragon Warship, King Zhao pointed to the map path straight to the point. "This is the route to Beijing this time."

"Huh? Why does this route... come so far around?" Shen Zhui looked at the map and could see at a glance that the route drawn on the map was completely zigzag, not a straight line, it was a zigzag shape. It doesn’t even count.

The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was extremely vast.

Across Kyushu, from West Antarctica to Kyoto in Dongsheng Continent, even if you walk in a straight line and sit in the teleportation formation, it will take you ten and a half months!

Because the territory is so vast, the farthest distance of the teleportation array is only 100,000 miles from one vassal state to another, but the shortest distance to the smallest continent is more than 10,000,000 miles!

From west to east, there are hundreds of millions. This is why many powerful men from the vassal states rarely go to Kyoto. Sometimes the kings in border areas have great power because they are too far away and beyond reach!

It's already far away, but we still have to take a detour. Isn't this just a waste of time?

"Teacher, this road doesn't seem to be the shortest distance." Shen chased out his doubts. "Why are we going this way?"

King Zhao turned around, looked at Shen Zhui for a while, pointed to the first stop on the map softly and asked, "Have you ever heard of Yiyang?"
