Chapter 153 Zhenxi Palace
Chapter 152: Town of the West King's Mansion
Xingyu was in a very depressed mood after coming out of the palace hall.
Xingyu felt uncomfortable when he thought that Yue Yao was about to marry into the Eastern Tang Dynasty at the end of the game.
Today's competition has ended, and there are still three of the ten participating students in the top ten provinces.
Bai Jun, Dongbai Province, and Lingmo Province is Ziling.
The other person is Xingyu.
Taking Hongwu and Ling who were waiting outside the hall, the three of them prepared to leave the palace and return to the inn.
A luxuriously decorated carriage was waiting at the door of the palace, and Xingyu was walking among the people leaving.
At this time, a middle-aged man in armor came over and stood in front of Xingyu and the other two.
"May I ask, are you Mr. Xingyu?" The middle-aged man in armor spoke very politely.
Xingyu looked at the man in surprise and nodded.
"I am Xingyu, who is the general?"
The man wearing armor said, "After the deputy general of the King of Xi of Xiazhen, Zhao Gang, was ordered by the King of Zhenxi to come and invite Mr. Xingyu to sit in the King of Zhenxi Palace."
Xingyu was even more surprised and a little nervous. Could it be that his identity was about to be revealed as soon as he arrived in Xingwu City? Why did he invite him one by one?
"What? Young Master Xingyu doesn't want to go?" Zhao Gang's face darkened, and his tone showed an indespite.
Xingyu turned his head and looked at Hongwu beside him. Seeing that Hongwu nodded slightly to him, Xingyu agreed.
"Young Master Xingyu, please!"
Xingyu got on the luxuriously decorated carriage and enjoyed the treatment of a nobleman.
He walked away from the palace and entered the city. After turning left and right, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.
The mansion covers an active and wide area, and two stone lions stand in front of the door.
Four big words were engraved in the middle of the two wooden doors: Zhenxi Wangfu.
Under the leadership of Zhao Gang, the three of them followed into Zhenxi Prince's Mansion.
"Prince Xingyu please wait, I'll go in and report to the prince."
Not long after Zhao Gang went, he returned and led Xingyu into the lobby of the palace. Hongwu and Ling were blocked outside.
This is the second time Xingyu has seen Liu Rusong. He is close to him and can even feel the extraordinary momentum from this prince.
The national face reveals majesty.
He sat in the right position.
When Xingyu entered it, he bowed to Liu Rusong.
Liu Rusong's voice was deep and said loudly: "Young Master Xingyu doesn't have to be too polite, please sit down."
Xingyu sat down as he said. After the servant served tea, Xingyu asked with doubts: "Xingyu first came to Xingwu City and has never met the prince. I wonder why the prince invited me to Zhenxifu?"
Liu Rusong did not turn around and said straight to the point: "I'm not sure about it. You and I have never met each other in the past, but just after seeing you on the ring today, I remembered an old friend, who looks very similar to him."
Xingyu surprised himself, but did not respond.
Liu Rusong sighed and continued, "When talking about my old friend, you must have heard of his name even if you have never seen him. It's a pity that an accident eleven years ago caused my old friend to be killed and injured. The murderer has not been found yet, and he is still at large."
As he said that, Liu Rusong's eyes were fixed on Xingyu.
"But, thankfully, after the rumor that incident, although my old friend was killed, his son was taken away by his housekeeper. According to time, if he was alive, he would be as old as you."
"Prince, you don't think I am the son of your old friend, right?" Xingyu said lightly.
Liu Rusong said: "Why can't it be, Xingyu, you and my old friend look so similar."
Xingyu said: "The prince kept saying that I look like your old friend, but I don't know who you are?"
Liu Rusong said solemnly: "My sworn brother is the first of the four kings and princes of the Xingwu Dynasty to fight against Uranus and the Sky."
"Fight Uranus and the Sky?"
Xingyu pretended to be surprised and said, "The King of War is a hero of the world, ranking first among the four kings and princes. His heroic name Xingyu has indeed been heard of, and he admires this person very much. I also really want to be a descendant of the King of War. It's a pity that I can't afford what the prince just said, except for the honor of the King of War, I really can't bear the support of what the prince just said.
I was originally a child of a civilian family, how could I be the son of the King of War?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rusong smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I miss me, Brother Zhantian too much, so after seeing you, I couldn't help but think of this. I really hope you are his son!"
Xingyu said: "The prince values love and friendship, and Xingyu really admires it, but Xingyu is indeed not the son of the War Heaven King, which disappoints the prince."
Liu Rusong nodded and said, "No matter whether you are telling the truth or lies, I won't mention this matter for now. I asked you for something today, and I hope you can get your help."
"Your Majesty asks me if you have something to do?" Xingyu was really surprised this time, "Your Majesty, you have a high position and powerful position, with heavy troops, and you have countless capable people under your command. If you have something to do, you can't solve it. If you have something to ask for it, I'm afraid Xingyu is powerless if you have the will!"
"You are right. There is indeed nothing that I can't do in the Xingwu Dynasty. However, the only thing I want to say is that you can help me. This is what I decided to do after I saw you today, and after thinking about it for a long time."
Liu Rusong's eyes showed an indespair.
Although Xingyu didn't want to help him, he had to give him face, so he asked, "I don't know what the prince asked for. If Xingyu could help, he would naturally not refuse."
Liu Rusong smiled faintly and said, "Very good. This matter will be a bit dangerous, but I will do my best to ensure your safety, so don't worry."
Xingyu looked up and stared at Liu Rusong tightly, listening to him continue.
"You and Brother Zhantian look so similar. I think many people who are familiar with Brother Zhantian will have this idea after seeing you. So I want to use you to lead the murderer who killed Brother Zhantian and put the murderer into practice to comfort me, Brother Zhantian's spirit in heaven."
"The prince means to harm me...will the murderer who killed the King of War come out to kill me?" Xingyu was shocked and almost missed it.
Liu Rusong seemed to have not cared about it, and he said, "No, but it is not enough to attract their attention just because you look like Brother Zhantian. So I want to send someone to spread this news, claiming that Brother Zhantian's son has arrived in Xingwu City. I think this way, anyone who is interested will think of you.
Of course, in the end, in order to make them confirm that you are the son of Brother Zhan Tian, I will also let you pretend to be engaged to my daughter Qingge, so that they can't believe it or not."
"Prince, I understand what you mean, but if you ask me to pretend to be engaged with Miss Liu, outsiders will completely believe it. What does this mean?" Xingyu said in a daze.
Liu Rusong said: "I had a very good relationship with Brother Zhantian back then, and our wife was pregnant at the same time. At that time, we two decided that if they were all boys, they would make them brothers of the opposite sex. If they were daughters, they would make them sisters of the opposite sex. If they were a man and a woman, they would make them husband and wife. This incident caused a sensation in the entire Xingwu City at that time and was rumored to be a good story.
I think, if I ask you to pretend to be engaged with Qingge, those people can finally determine your identity based on the news that I sent someone to spread. When you say that the murderer will take action to completely solve the problems?"
"this······"
Xingyu was extremely surprised and said in his heart: "Liu Rusong is indeed worthy of being one of the four kings and princes of the Xingwu Dynasty. He is indeed extraordinary." But in this way, even if he is not the son of the King of War, he will be mistaken for it. It doesn't matter whether he reveals his true identity to those who want to harm him.
It can be said that Liu Rusong's plan has completely pushed him to the forefront.
However, in order to find the murderer, Xingyu was willing to do so, but what he dared not confirm is whether Liu Rusong's real purpose was to find the murderer or had another purpose.
After hearing this, Xingyu looked at Liu Rusong and shook his head and said, "The prince wants to avenge the war king. Xingyu admires this kind of friendship, but Xingyu is just a child of a civilian family. He doesn't want to put himself in a dangerous place because of this matter, and he doesn't want to put himself in such a storm. Please forgive me, I can't help with this matter."
Xingyu's words immediately changed Liu Rusong's face. Xingyu looked at him without any fear.
Liu Rusong said: "Xingyu, I invite you to come here and mention this matter to you is not entirely trying to conquer you. Even if you don't agree to this matter, I can still implement it. However, I don't want to harm you, an innocent person in order to avenge my brother Zhantian. This way, I will feel sorry for you, so I negotiate with you.
But in the end, no matter whether you agree or not, I will continue to do this.
I have been looking for the murderer for eighteen years and have not made any progress. Now that I see you, how can I let you go if such an opportunity appears? If the murderer is not found, how can I be worthy of my late brother Zhan Tian?"
Liu Rusong was furious, but from his words, Xingyu heard deep affection.
For his sworn brothers, Uranus and Heaven, he was willing to do so.
But at the same time, it also made Xingyu feel that Liu Rusong was indeed as upright as rumored. He was just an innocent person. He could not consider himself at all. However, although he wanted to find the murderer and throw himself out and was in danger, he did not have the intention to harm him.
Liu Rusong said: "Xingyu, whether you agree to this matter depends on your meaning. However, I will continue to follow my plan, but don't worry, I will definitely do my best to ensure your safety, so you don't have to worry about this.
Xingyu, I have already said this clearly enough. It depends on what you mean now?"
Xingyu thought about it, but Liu Rusong did not urge him. After a long time, Xingyu looked up at Liu Rusong and said, "Okay, since the prince is so determined, I agree."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rusong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled faintly, "Yes, don't worry, I will not only guarantee your safety, but after finding the murderer, I will also reward you with great rewards."
As he said that, Liu Rusong stood up, and his identity as a prince was to bow to Xingyu.
"Liu Rusong thanks you for the people who were killed in the entire mansion of my brother Zhan Tian."
Xingyu was shocked and hurriedly stood up to help him, "The prince is so serious, Xingyu is weak, so he can only do such a little effort." However, he was a little moved in his heart, and he refused to tell his true identity.
Liu Rusong said: "You can't say that. The key to the success or failure of this matter is crucial. You must not underestimate yourself."
Xingyu nodded and said, "Prince, I live in the Huangdu Inn in the city. You can send someone to contact me. If there is nothing else, I will go back to prepare for tomorrow's competition, so I will say goodbye first."
