Du Jiao came for a while, then said goodbye and left.
Not only did he leave behind a token to go to Muyu Linghai, but he also left a lot of food. In this way, no matter how much trouble there was outside, Yunzhu would not go hungry.
Naturally, Xia Yu did not go out and continued to refine the elixir.
Three more days passed, and the situation outside became even more chaotic.
All the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were involved in the civil war. The entire capital city was divided into several parts, and fierce fighting took place every day. There were practitioners fighting in the sky and soldiers fighting on the ground.
The green-skinned gangsters who used to be in the city also took advantage of the chaos and came out, robbing homes and houses. The prosperous capital was now a hell on earth. People were running for their lives, and the streets were full of corpses. It was a mess.
Fortunately, there are strong men like Xia Yu sitting in the inn. After some short-sighted guys were killed by the practitioners in the inn, this place became like an isolated island in the angry sea.
Many innocent people fled, and Yunzhu also took these people in. Fortunately, Du Jiao left a lot of food, so there was no big problem.
On this day, the Ninth Prince finally came to the door.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please come inside." Xia Yu invited the Ninth Prince into the courtyard.
The Ninth Prince looked at the alchemy furnace placed in the courtyard of the small courtyard and said with a smile, "Take peace amidst the commotion. Brother Xia is not affected by external objects at all."
Xia Yu smiled and said, "In the beginning, many stewards of the prince's palace came to invite me, but I had no intention of fighting for power, so I refused them all. They came several times and finally gave up."
"Master Xia is really indifferent to fame and fortune." The Ninth Prince sighed with emotion.
In fact, his visit today was a holiday and he also wanted to ask Xia Yu to take action.
As the situation intensified, his strong men also joined the battle. The most powerful Huangpu Imperial Master had a battle with the Imperial Master a few days ago. Both of them suffered losses. Huangpu Imperial Master hurriedly retreated to recover from his injuries.
Before the seclusion, Huangpu Imperial Master said, "Although Xia Yu's meridians have been destroyed, his strength is outstanding and he can be of great use. If you can bring him out and support me until I recover from my injuries, this battle can be decided."
!”
Everyone can see clearly that when the civil war has reached this stage, every prince's mansion has suffered huge losses. Now is the most difficult stage of support. It will be a smooth road to survive. If you cannot survive, you may die without a burial place.
After hearing this, the Ninth Prince brought people over today, hoping to use his friendship with Xia Yu to ask Xia Yu for a favor.
But when they met now, the Ninth Prince couldn't open his mouth again.
First of all, it will take more than ten days for Xia Yu to refine the elixir here and it will take more than ten days to complete, so there is no way he can leave!
Secondly, Xia Yu also said that all the princes invited him, but in the end they were all rejected by him.
The Ninth Prince said to himself, if I don't speak up, we can still be friends in the future. But if I speak up and Xia Yu rejects me, it will be awkward when we meet in the future, and we won't even be friends!
He and Xia Yu still got along very well, and he didn't want to lose this friend because of this, so he could only smile to himself and forget about it. He just thought that he came to visit his friend today and asked him to come out, so he didn't mention it.
At that moment, the two of them laughed and talked for a while, and the Ninth Prince said again, "In this extraordinary period, there are still a lot of things in my house, so I won't keep any more. This time I brought some food. If you still have any needs, you can go
The Prince's Mansion is looking for me. Brother Xia, say goodbye!"
When Xia Yu saw that the Ninth Prince was leaving, he was also confused.
Originally, he thought that the Ninth Prince was going to ask him to come out, but who knew, the Ninth Prince didn't even mention it.
Could it be that the Ninth Prince invited some top master?
When Xia Yu thought of this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "Your Highness, wait a minute."
Originally, Du Bao told him not to spread rumors about what he said to him. However, the Ninth Prince was a very interesting person, and he could chat with Xia Yu, and they could be considered friends.
This is a critical moment for friends, and Xia Yu can't be justified if he doesn't do something.
"What's the matter?"
Xia Yu raised his hand to create a soundproof barrier, and then asked, "Your Highness, you are fighting like this in the Great Zhou Kingdom, haven't you considered the Emperor's thoughts?"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "The Supreme Emperor's life span has expired and there is not much time left. Although his cultivation level is very high, he does not dare to take action easily! If he takes action once, he may not be able to endure it any longer!"
What he said makes sense.
At the end of Shou Yuan's life, he has already run out of gas and energy. If he takes action forcefully again, he is simply asking for death!
All the princes, ministers and powerful men knew this, so they dared to be so unscrupulous in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Xia Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, there is something I'm afraid you haven't heard."
"Oh?" The Ninth Prince was startled. He secretly grasped some key points and asked quickly, "Is it the Supreme Emperor's place..."
"The Emperor can live at least eighty more years after receiving the life-extending elixir."
"What?!" The Ninth Prince seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt.
There is no news more shocking than this.
The Emperor's eighty-year extension of life means that not only can he come forward to fight at any time, but as long as the Emperor wants to come back and become emperor, none of the princes or ministers will dare to step forward.
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
The more fiercely the princes fight, the more unlucky the final result will be!
Xia Yu let the Ninth Prince digest it for a while before continuing, "Don't worry that the Supreme Emperor will come out to seize the throne. He is determined to practice!"
"Huh." The Ninth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Brother Xia, thank you for telling me this news! Otherwise, I don't even know how I died."
"There is no need to be polite. The Ninth Prince treats others with sincerity, and Xia should tell him so." Xia Yu returned the gift and said, "The Supreme Emperor wants to achieve a higher level of cultivation. He needs a stable and united Great Zhou Dynasty. Those who started
I'm afraid he won't like the aggressive prince who conquers the territory, or the cowardly and low-key prince."
"I understand." The Ninth Prince bowed and respectfully bowed ninety degrees to Xia Yu to thank him.
Xia Yu's words are worth a thousand dollars!
When the Supreme Emperor wants to attack cultivation, he certainly does not want the country to be in turmoil, nor does he want continuous wars. Instead, he hopes that the next generation of emperors will be a conservative king, and the world will be tepid, and will not attack other countries, nor will they be suppressed by other countries.
In short, it is to be moderate.
Be able to bend and stretch, be stable and united, and don't cause trouble for the Supreme Emperor!
The Ninth Prince immediately understood what he should do.
At this moment, this news has not yet spread. Those princes who fought desperately and those princes who conspired one after another have probably been ruled out by the Supreme Emperor at this moment.
"My little brother knows what to do. I will go back and arrange the sergeants to clean up the streets and end the unrest..."
Xia Yu raised his hand and interrupted, "I don't understand this either. Just know it yourself. But don't make a sudden change, otherwise the Supreme Emperor may guess that you have gotten the news."
"Yes, yes." The Ninth Prince is also a prince after all. With a thought in his mind, he knew what he should do.
He cupped his fist again and said, "I won't thank you for your kindness. From now on, Brother Xia will be my big brother! I will go back quickly. There are some things that I must change my mind immediately."
"That's very good, I won't stay any longer." Xia Yu then led the Ninth Prince out of the barrier.
"Brother, I'll take the first step." Before leaving, the Ninth Prince saluted Yunzhu again, "Godmother."
Yunzhu was completely stunned. She didn't expect that one day, the prince would actually call her godmother. This seniority was too high. As a commoner girl, wouldn't she be on the same level as the queen in the future?
"This..." She wanted to speak, but found that the Ninth Prince had already left in a hurry with his men.
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Mom, the Ninth Prince is one of our own. He may become emperor one day, which will only be good for us."
"My dear." Yunzhu was even more shocked and speechless. If the Ninth Prince became the emperor, wouldn't she be on the same level as the Queen Mother?
If you put it this way, then the third prince who was greedy for beauty and killed her, wasn't he also her son?
