Shen Yundu felt a thump in his heart. He was indeed not a real prince, but outsiders didn't know about it. How did he know?
Wu Bei: "Choose one of the two, you make a decision as soon as possible."
Shen Yundu suddenly said: "Master Wu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Wu Bei: "Okay."
Two people went to the roof, while the others stayed below.
Shen Yundu said: "Master Wu, I apologize to you for what happened before. Before you decide whether to forgive me, I will tell you one thing first."
Wu Bei looked at him and said, "Say."
Shen Yundu: "The purpose of my coming to the secular world is actually to find the real prince."
Wu Bei was surprised: "The real prince?"
Shen Yundu nodded: "I pretended to be the prince in order to deceive others and draw firepower to me. In this way, I can protect the real prince."
"Speak clearly," Wu Bei said.
Shen Yundu then explained the situation in detail. It turned out that when the current Shenxu Emperor was still a prince, he spent some time in the secular world. At that time, he fell in love with a mortal woman and had physical intimacy with her. Later,
, the woman gave birth to a son for him.
But before his son was one month old, he was forced to return to the dynasty and inherit the throne. After succeeding to the throne, he could only consolidate the imperial power in his hands first, and was unable to distract the secular mother and son. Of course, he did this to protect their safety.
It's just that over the years, Emperor Shenxu has had no heirs. In the past six months, ministers, princes and relatives have asked the emperor to establish a prince. However, the candidates for the prince they proposed were selected from the royal family by several major forces.
The emperor naturally did not want to make someone else's descendant a prince, so he wanted to take back his son who was born when he was a prince. However, this matter could not be known to outsiders, so he sent a group of people to deliberately pretend to be the emperor's children to disrupt the public.
Shenyundu is one of them. In fact, Shenyundu is not his name, but the true emperor.
Son’s name.
Wu Bei: "Don't you know where the prince is?"
He shook his head: "It's still unclear. The mother and son have been missing for seven years. I have been investigating these days, but there are no clues yet."
"The emperor wants to find this son and make him the prince?"
"Exactly. The emperor doesn't want his inheritance to be passed on to outsiders."
"As an emperor, is it so difficult to give birth to a son?" Wu Bei thought the whole thing was weird.
God "There is a rumor that the emperor has been cursed and all his children will be stillborn."
Wu Bei thought thoughtfully: "So someone plotted against the emperor, causing him to have no descendants. It's just that the plotter didn't expect that the emperor had a son in his early years."
"What's your name?" he asked the man who pretended to be Shen Yundu.
"Yan Pingchao." The other party said.
"I'll let you go today, but you have to pay the price." Wu Bei said calmly.
Yan Pingchao said quickly: "Master Wu, the emperor sent me here for another secret mission."
Wu Bei stared at him: "What does your mission have to do with me?"
Yan Pingchao said quickly: "The reason why the emperor could claim the title of emperor back then was because he went to a place and got a ray of imperial energy from there. And I know that place."
"Royal Qi?" Wu Bei thought thoughtfully.
"That's right! There is the imperial energy left by the ancient sage emperor in it. The emperor only absorbed a little of it and successfully ascended the treasure! Because the imperial energy is equal to the luck of the entire human race!"
Wu Bei: "Do you know the Holy Emperor?"
Yan Pingchao: “According to
It is said that in very ancient times, there was a Holy Emperor in the human world, but I don’t know the details.”
"Tell me where the imperial energy is. Is this the price you want to pay?"
Yan Pingchao smiled bitterly: "Master Wu, if I tell you this secret, I risk being beheaded!"
Wu Bei asked: "It's not enough."
Yan Pingchao sighed: "Master Wu, what else do you want from me?"
"The Shenxu Dynasty is so powerful, and the emperor's authority is as great as the sky. You were sent by him, so you must be able to get in touch with him."
Yan Pingchao blinked: "Master Wu wants to contact the emperor?"
Wu Bei: "That's not necessary. The emperor sent you down to perform the mission, so he must have given you a lot of resources, right?"
Yan Pingchao's face changed slightly. This was what he feared the most. The reason why he came to the secular world was for the huge resources provided by the emperor! His mission was not only to find the prince, but also to create a super power in the secular world.
.However, in order to avoid attracting attention, the emperor did not send anyone to help him. All he could provide were resources. With these resources under control, Yan Pingchao could make a career.
"this……" .??.
"That's right. I don't want more. If you give me half of the resources, I'll let you go." Wu Bei said calmly.
Yan Pingchao smiled bitterly: "Master Wu, I have some resources, but they are used by the emperor to run errands for me. I really can't give half of them to you."
Wu Bei said nothing. Yan Pingchao gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Wu, how about we cooperate together?"
Wu Bei looked at him: "What cooperation?"
Yan Pingchao sighed: "At this point, I won't hide it anymore. The emperor has another task, which is to establish a force in the secular world. This force will serve His Royal Highness in the future."
Wu Bei was not interested in power or anything like that. He continued
Continued question: "How many resources did the emperor give you?"
Yan Pingchao took a deep breath and said: "A huge amount of resources, and as long as we make achievements, we will give you as much as you need later."
Wu Bei's eyes flashed: "The emperor asked you to do this just to serve the prince?"
Yan Pingchao shook his head: "That's not clear. I can't understand the thinking of the superior."
Wu Bei: "What do you mean by cooperation?"
"If I want to establish this power, I must recruit troops. Mr. Wu's people can come in. The things I buy can also be purchased from Mr. Wu at a high price."
Wu Bei: "So, what do you need most right now?"
"Elixir!" Yan Pingchao said, "The characteristics of the royal family's elixir are too obvious, so I have to buy it from outside. If you can provide the elixir, sir, and the quality is good enough, the price can be negotiated!"
Wu Bei's heart moved. Isn't elixir what he is good at?
"If it's a high-end elixir, can you also purchase it in bulk?"
Yan Pingchao said: "I said, money is not a problem. And the scarier and more precious it is, the easier it will be for the superiors to approve money."
Wu Bei looked at him: "Is there anyone above you who will approve it?"
Yan Pingchao said: "This is normal. If there is no approval, wouldn't these resources belong to me? And there are several people outside competing with me. Whoever is more capable among us will get more resources!"
Wu Bei thought for a moment and said: "If you want rare elixirs, I can provide them, and I guarantee that your superiors will be satisfied."
Yan Pingchao's eyes lit up and he said: "Okay! As long as Mr. Wu has good enough elixirs, I can increase the price several times!"
Wu Bei: "Aside from pills, what else do you need?"
"Talent." Yan Pingchao said, "I am short of manpower now, especially masters in the magical realm."
