Mo Si's clone An Xuehai asked: "That King Zhou Guojia who claimed to spend his whole life wandering at sea?"
"Ahem."
The receptionist coughed, admitting instead of denying.
The story of Xia Yuanjia is very famous even in the Yu State.
His father is the prince of Zhou,
Of his two biological brothers, one died of illness when he was a child, and the other fell from a horse in his youth and was paralyzed, with only his head moving.
According to the order of succession, he became the heir who could inherit the title of prince.
The death or serious injury of an heir is common even in the Yu State.
In an environment where medical care is underdeveloped, even a small traumatic wound can cause serious consequences.
According to conventional logic, Xia Yuanjia should happily accept the title of heir to the throne and wait for his future succession as prince.
But he doesn't.
He heard some crazy words from a Feng Shui master and felt that both his brothers were cursed. If he continued to stay in Zhou Kingdom, he would also die a tragic death.
So, he claimed that he was going to an overseas fairy island to find an antidote for his paralyzed brother.
This search lasted ten years.
During the ten years, he had been on different ships, sailing around and never set foot on land.
If you don't inherit the good princely title, you have to wander on the sea.
Xia Yuanjia's strange actions have always been a topic of conversation at the dinner table for the common people in Zhou State.
Two rooms away, the sound of the quarrel is still clear.
A steady male voice said: "Silang, the palace really needs you. The prince's health is gradually declining, Erlang passed away early, and Sanlang has been paralyzed in bed and needs care.
Now Dalang fell off his horse again and is bedridden."
Xia Yuanjia said in shock: "Ah? Brother, how is he? I read in the letter that he fell from his horse during spring hunting, but I don't know how serious it was."
Another male voice said solemnly: "I have been recovering in the hospital bed for a while, and I am much better than before. But the doctor said that my legs are still unbalanced, and I may need to rely on crutches to walk in the future.
Shiro, you must go back now, Prince Xiang’s Mansion cannot live without you."
"..."
Xia Yuanjia was silent for a long time, "Fifteen days."
A calm male voice said: "What?"
"Give me another fifteen days. When I left home, I said that I would find a magic medicine that can cure paralysis for my third brother. In fifteen days, it will be ten years."
Xia Yuanjia said: "In fifteen days, when the Sea Charm returns from the sea, I will return to Zhou with you."
The solemn male voice said: "But..."
Xia Yuanjia suddenly raised her voice, "No but! This is my decision. Please come back."
Prince of Zhou, curse, inheritance.
Putting these words together, it is easy for people to think of conspiracy theories.
Mo Si's clone, An Xuehai, stood there as if he hadn't heard anything.
The receptionist was a little embarrassed - after all, the VIPs had a conflict on the boat, and it would not be nice to spread the word.
"This is your key."
The receptionist took off a brass key from the key plate, handed it to An Xuehai, and said: "Dinner will start in two-quarters of an hour. You can go to the hall to eat, or you can ask the servant to bring the meal to you.
Bring it here.
I will always be at the reception desk at the end of the aisle. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
"Okay, trouble."
An Xuehai nodded and sent the receptionist out of the room.
After the door was closed, the two black silk clones looked at each other and did not disintegrate directly. Instead, they opened and saluted like normal people, packed up their personal belongings, pretended to be casual, and pressed a button on the wall.
With this press, some ink-colored silk threads quietly penetrated into the wall.
This is Room 13. On the left is Room 11 where Su Xinghuo lives. Xia Yuanjia, who heard the roar just now, is in the next door, which is Room 9.
The ink-colored silk thread penetrated into the walls of rooms 13 and 11, and cautiously moved forward.
Then I saw the black cat demon lying on the double bed in Room 11.
Since Su Xinghuo is now in Room 9,
The door of Room 11 was locked, and there was no one in the room. The black cat demon was lying on the silk sheets, reading books and magazines like a human being.
We can go no further.
A vague premonition made Li Ang stop Mo Si's continued drilling, and did not further test the cat demon's alert range.
Xia Yuanjia, King of Zhou Guojia, and Zhou Xinghuo seem to be close friends? The latter was able to board the ship because of the former?
Mosi kept a close eye on the cat demon and listened carefully to the faint chatter in Room 9.
"Alas..."
Xia Yuanjia let out a long sigh, with exhaustion showing on his handsome face. He plopped into the chair and covered his forehead with his hands.
"King Jia?"
Su Xinghuo, a round-faced boy, looked at his decadent friend with some worry.
"Just call me Yuanjia. We are friends, and I am not the heir of your Yu Kingdom."
Xia Yuanjia was silent for a moment and asked: "Xinghuo, are we friends?"
"Of course!"
Su Xinghuo's face turned solemn, "Prince Jia...cough, Yuanjia, you have been kind to me. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get back the remaining ancestral property of the Su family."
"The same goes for you. If it weren't for you who was the boat's doctor at the time, I would have died of poisoning at sea three years ago."
Xia Yuanjia smiled bitterly and said: "Xinghuo, the world thinks that I am a madman who refused the title of prince, but I really didn't lie.
What happened to my two biological brothers was definitely not an accident.
I can feel that a pair of invisible hands are fiddling with our destiny, tightening the noose around my neck little by little.
I'm afraid of death, and I'm even more afraid of dying in an unclear way.
So much so that I am willing to wander on the sea for ten years to survive the time limit that the Feng Shui master told me.
Even the cabin they live in is built into a closed secret room.
The windows in your room can all be opened outwards. My windows are specially made and integrated with the wall and have no opening function.
There is no gap under the door.
There are three unique locks in the middle of the door, which are almost impossible to pick. Once you try to break violently or pick the lock, the alarm will be triggered.
In addition, there are warning signs for aliens, warning signs for telekinesis, and spells.
As long as there are unreasonable spiritual energy fluctuations in the room, the alarm will be triggered.
I don't trust anyone, not the crew of this ship.
They are the same people who were sent by the two princes just now to take me back to Zhou Kingdom.
I only trust you."
Xia Yuanjia paused for a moment, looked at Su Xinghuo and said seriously: "If something happens to me on this ship, can you rescue me like you did three years ago?"
Facing her friend's request, Su Xinghuo nodded heavily, "Definitely."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Xia Yuanjia finally showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "In fifteen days, when the curse period that the Feng Shui master told me is reached, I can return to the Kingdom of Zhou, marry a wife, have children, and inherit the title."
