Chapter Eleven: King Qi's Appetite
In the dim cave, light suddenly gathered on the stone platform. As the space shook faintly, two figures emerged from the light.
After experiencing this teleportation again, Zhou Yuan's head was also swelling, constantly rubbing his forehead, soothing the feeling of discomfort.
"Yuan'er?"
As the light dissipated, a surprise voice also came from the front. Zhou Yuan looked up and saw Zhou Qing standing in front of the stone platform, looking at him with a happy look.
"Father." Zhou Yuan smiled.
"You little brat, you really scared your father!" Zhou Qing quickly stepped forward, his eyes full of eagerness. Half a day ago, he was shocked by the fact that he saw Zhou Yuan disappearing on the stone platform.
Zhou Yuan saw Zhou Qing's expression and knew that Zhou Qing should be worried about death here. He was embarrassed immediately, scratched his head and said quickly: "Father, my eight veins have appeared!"
"What?!"
Zhou Qing's body shook, and his palm hurriedly slapped the latter's shoulder. A source of energy invaded Zhou Yuan's body and made a series of detection.
After counting breaths, Zhou Qing learned the result, and his palm couldn't help but tremble. He patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder with excitement.
"Okay, okay, it's really my ancestors' blessing. The sky is endless. My Zhou family!" Zhou Qing's voice was filled with a little tremolo, and his eyes were wet. You can imagine how excited he was in his heart at this time.
Zhou Yuan’s inability to open his meridians and practice has always been a pain in his heart. In his opinion, it was his incompetence as a father that made Zhou Yuan lose his luck by the Martial Ancestor when he was born, and he became what he is today.
He found all the means, but he could not make Zhou Yuan open his meridians, so he could only place his last hope on the secret words circulated by their Zhou family.
But now it seems that God is still favoring their Zhou family.
Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Qing, who had always been calm and majestic, and showed this appearance in front of him, and there was also a warm feeling in his heart. He stretched out his arms, gently patted Zhou Qing's wide back, and smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, we will get what our Zhou family has lost!"
Zhou Qing restrained his emotions and nodded heavily. At this moment, his eyes just saw behind Zhou Yuan, a girl in green standing in a pretty face, holding a shameless little beast, looking at them with bright eyes.
"Yuan'er?" Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Yuan, confused. He obviously didn't know why Zhou Yuan brought out a mysterious girl when he came back.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan told Zhou Qing about what he had encountered in that mysterious space.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Since our Zhou family ancestors will leave secret messages, it should have been an association with the senior in black. If you have received the favor of that senior, you will naturally have to fulfill the senior's instructions."
After saying that, he smiled gently at the girl in green and said, "This little girl, if you have no place to go, you can stay in our Great Zhou. Here, we will definitely ensure your safety."
When Yaoyao heard this, she gently tapped her head, her voice softly and calmly: "I'm in trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble." Zhou Qing smiled and waved his hand, then said to Zhou Yuan: "Since your problem has been solved, we are also preparing to go back to Dazhou City. Your mother has been waiting for news."
Zhou Yuan nodded, and he also wanted to tell Qin Yu the good news immediately.
The three of them followed the secret passage and walked out of the cave and came out of the ancestral temple on the top of the mountain.
Zhou Qing went to instruct the imperial guards to set off, while Yaoyao was holding a little beast named Twist, standing by the cliff, with beautiful eyes looking at this strange world in a daze.
The breeze blew up her clothes, outlining the exquisite curves, and at the same time it made the girl look a little lonely and cold, but she was making a humming sound in her arms to comfort her.
"Sister Yaoyao, don't worry, Master has great supernatural powers and will not be able to do anything. We will definitely see him again in the future." Zhou Yuan walked to Yaoyao and said softly.
He knew that no matter how quiet and calm Yaoyao was, he was still a little uncomfortable when he arrived in a strange place.
Yaoyao glanced at him with beautiful eyes and whispered: "Grandpa Hei will drive me away. I know it's because a great enemy came to him."
"Those enemies should be coming for me, and Grandpa Hei helped me block it."
Although Cang Yuan had never told her this, she still felt keenly that those disasters should have been brought to her.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head. He didn't know the identity and background of the two, so he didn't know what story was hidden inside.
"Sister Yaoyao, maybe things are really as you said, but I think you should not complain about yourself now, otherwise you will let down the master's efforts and anything he does will lose its value." Zhou Yuan said slowly.
Yaoyao gently stroked the soft hair with her jade hand. She looked into the distance and immediately showed a shocking smile at Zhou Yuan, with a slight smile on her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not such a person. I will find out everything in the future. At that time, if something happens to Grandpa Hei, I will definitely avenge him. None of those people can escape."
Her voice was calm and cold, but the coldness contained in it made even Zhou Yuan shudder slightly.
This young lady looks like a little fairy, but once she becomes serious, she seems to be quite decisive in her bones.
…
The Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When Qin Yu learned that Zhou Yuan’s eight meridians could practice, he was so excited that he hugged Zhou Yuan and kept crying, which made Zhou Yuan both moved and helpless.
"Okay, okay, it's a good thing for Yuan'er to practice, why bother crying?" Zhou Qing, who was standing beside him, said helplessly.
"Aren't you crying?" Qin Yu wiped his eyes and stared at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing touched his nose a little embarrassedly. When he sensed the eight veins in Zhou Yuan's body in the cave, he almost couldn't help but burst into tears, but was suppressed.
"You can help Yaoyao arrange it first." Zhou Qing didn't dare to say more and quickly changed the topic.
Qin Yu then realized that someone was watching him, and she wiped away her tears with a little embarrassed look. Then she smiled gently at Yaoyao and said, "Yaoyao, you will just live here in the future. We will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."
Qin Yu's attitude towards Yaoyao was extremely enthusiastic. Although it was more due to their gratitude for Zhou Yuan's help, she obviously liked Yaoyao quite a lot. After all, anyone who saw such a clear and beautiful girl would be happy.
Yaoyao was a little uncomfortable with Qin Yu's enthusiasm. After all, she lived with Cang Yuan in an isolated place since she was a child, and she had never had any contact with outsiders at all. Moreover, she was a little cold-hearted and was not very good at communicating with others.
However, she could feel Qin Yu's heartfelt gratitude and sincerity, so she did not show too much resistance. She just glanced at Zhou Yuan and let Qin Yu pull her away.
Qin Yu took Yaoyao away first. Zhou Qing and Zhou Yuan looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Chu is asking for a visit!" At this moment, the guards reported.
The Lord of Chu is the Lord of the Great Zhou Mansion, Chu Tianyang, and is also a powerful general under Zhou Qing.
"Let him come in." Zhou Qing nodded, then looked at Zhou Yuan who was about to retreat, and said, "You can keep it too. You are the Your Highness of our Great Zhou, and you should know something."
Zhou Yuan was stunned and didn't say much, just nodded.
At the gate of the inner hall, a strong figure stepped forward. It was a middle-aged man in a purple shirt. His face was firm and as he walked, it seemed as if the wind was following him, making a whimper.
"I've seen the king." The middle-aged man in purple was bent over and fisted at Zhou Qing, then looked at Zhou Yuan beside him, nodded and smiled, "Your Highness."
"Master of the Palace." Zhou Yuan did not dare to neglect. Chu Tianyang was an important official and was deeply trusted by his father. He was the right-hand man, and he was also the master of the Great Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Qing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "What's the matter?"
When Chu Tianyang heard this, he first glanced at Zhou Yuan beside him.
Zhou Qing smiled: "It's okay, let him listen."
Chu Tianyang nodded, then sighed with a wry smile, and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Hong is now eyeing me as the position of the Lord of the Mansion."
Zhou Yuan, who was standing beside him, felt a little nervous. Xu Hong, was the current deputy head of the Great Zhou Mansion, but this guy was standing on the side of the King of Qi, following the leader of the King of Qi, and often disobeyed the Great Zhou royal family.
In the past, Zhou Yuan knew that the King of Qi had been coveting the Great Zhou Mansion for a long time and wanted to control it, so he kept secretly eroding it. Xu Hong was placed in by him in various ways, trying to seize the position of the Lord of the Great Zhou Mansion.
"Master, according to the information I received secretly, the little prince Qi Yue was constantly threatening and seducing and attracting outstanding students in the Great Zhou Mansion at an extremely high price."
"For this big test alone, more than half of the students who were able to squeeze into the top ten have been won over."
"Once these students pass the big exam, they will directly choose to enter Xu Hong's College B. After the big exam, it is the palace exam. In the past two years, the overall quality of the students in College B is higher than that of my College A. They have won the first place in the palace exam twice. If they succeed this time, Xu Hong has an excuse to attack and seize the position of the head of the palace."
When Zhou Qing established the Great Zhou Mansion, in order to motivate the various courts, he set rules that the head of the court could run for the head of the court for three years.
Originally, Chu Tianyang's Academy A was the strongest, but later Xu Hong emerged. With the support of King Qi's strong financial resources, he continued to win over those outstanding students, which led to the fact that the originally strongest Academy A was suppressed by the Academy B in the past two years.
Obviously, Xu Hong was heading for the Lord of the Great Zhou Mansion. Once he became the Lord of the Great Zhou Mansion, the Great Zhou Mansion might fall into the hands of the King of Qi, and those outstanding talents that are constantly emerging will be intercepted by the King of Qi. For the royal family, this is simply cutting their bones and digging meat.
Moreover, the most important thing is that if the King of Qi's plan succeeds this time, many wait-and-see forces will think that the royal family is declining and they can no longer fight with the King of Qi. Once those forces are all cast into the King of Qi, it will be devastating.
Zhou Yuan frowned and looked at Zhou Qing. At this time, the latter's brow was also twitching slightly. After a while, a gloomy sound slowly spit out from the gaps of his teeth.
