In Gongsun Yong's mouth, her eldest brother refers to the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng. If Gou Dian wants to obtain the colorful holy lotus seeds, it seems that he can only start from Gongsun Cheng. Despite this, Gou Dian has not forgotten Nangong Polong's offer of treatment to him.
Luo Shi's three conditions are to find the required medicinal materials by himself, a promise from Gou Dian and to build a top-quality divine cauldron. Building a top-quality divine cauldron is not a matter of one person but the entire group "Sword God Sunset"
Therefore, he had to discuss it with Gongsun Ying, Gongsun Yong, Yang Feng'er, Peng Tiangong and Su Kongling.
Only Gou Dian knew that Yang Feng'er was a "Masked Warrior", so Gou Dian had already secretly discussed with Yang Feng'er about making the ultimate divine cauldron, and this was the reason why Yang Feng'er came. Su Kongling seemed to have just arrived not long ago
He returned from the World of Warcraft Forest (Holy Land of Hungry Ghosts) and is now at the Shenlong Gate. Gongsun Ying and Peng Tiangong are also at the Shenlong Gate now. Considering the issue of efficiency, Gou Dian asked Gongsun Yong to follow him to the Shenlong Gate to share "
"Sword God Sunset" everyone spread out related matters and asked for their help.
It doesn't take half a day to get from the Emperor's City to the Shenlong Gate. After everyone gathered together, Gou Dian spread the matter to everyone, and everyone directly agreed to help. Of course, the rest of the people were interested in the "Masked Warrior"
"There were still some doubts about whether he would take action, but after Gou Dian repeatedly assured that the "Masked Warrior" would be willing to take action, everyone was relieved.
"Hey, are you and the Masked Warrior a good pair of friends?" Gongsun Yong looked at Gou Dian suspiciously, with a look that was half-smiling.
Gou Dian shook his head repeatedly and said with a bitter smile: "It's impossible, it's impossible! This is the only thing that's absolutely impossible."
"Otherwise, why are you the only one who can contact the Masked Warrior?"
"This is purely a very touching and difficult to answer coincidence..."
…
The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless.
On the ground very far away, billowing smoke and dust suddenly rose up like long snakes.
The various tall, short, and thin trees on both sides of the avenue swayed slightly amidst the "rumbling" sound of horse hooves. As the sound of these horse hooves became more and more deafening, a small team of dozens of people rushed back to the Emperor's Castle not far away.
At the front of this team of dozens of people, a young man wearing a platinum and gold robe was riding a horse in high spirits. There was a gold-hilted sword at his waist, and as he rode the horse, his long black hair floated up.
Even more sassy, with a faint scholarly aura that seems to be mixed with the aura of a king. This young man is none other than Gongsun Cheng, the eldest prince who has finally returned to the Imperial City.
Gongsun Cheng was in a good mood that day.
Not long ago, under the instruction of his father, he made an engagement with Ku Lei from the Ku family of the Tianshen Principality, but the formal engagement ceremony had not yet begun. Although he and Ku Lei knew each other, Ku Lei was not the same person yet.
Being engaged to Ku Lei, the person he fell in love with at first sight, was not the main reason that made him feel good. The most important thing was that through this engagement, the relationship between the royal family of the Great Britain Empire and the Ku family would be better than before.
It is more stable, which will be of great benefit to him in his future fight for the throne.
Although he has a good reputation among the people, no one can guarantee that his father, Emperor Great Britain, will choose him as the next emperor when he dies. After all, the prince has not been officially selected yet. Although Gongsun Cheng is concerned about the country and the people,
But this does not mean that he does not have the ambition to compete for the throne. On the contrary, it is precisely because of his concern for the country and the people that he cares more about the throne. After all, only by becoming the emperor can he have more power, and marrying the Ku family will only
It can be regarded as a step towards the throne.
Emperor Great Britain had several sons, namely the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng, the second prince Gongsun Ying, the third prince Gongsun Ni, the fifth prince Gongsun Tian, the ninth prince Gongsun Ming and those princes who are still in their infancy. The second prince Gongsun Ying is drunk.
Yu Liandan can be considered the least ambitious in vying for the throne; the third prince Gongsun Ni has a gloomy personality and can be considered Gongsun Cheng's most powerful competitor on the road to the throne; the fifth prince Gongsun Tian has just returned to the palace and has little popularity among the people.
Prestige; Gongsun Cheng, the ninth prince, was very successful in his life. He had suffered successive defeats in the previous wars, and his succession to the throne was obviously hopeless. As for the princes who were still in their infancy, Gongsun Cheng did not think that they had a chance to inherit the throne, because the entire empire was
Everyone knew that his father, Emperor Great Britain, was seriously ill and could not survive for ten years. From this point of view, he, who had the highest prestige among the people, was obviously the most powerful heir to the throne.
"Nevertheless, if I can get the support of more nobles, my chances of fighting for the throne will definitely increase." Gongsun Cheng sighed slightly. At this time, he didn't know why the thought of wolfberry appeared in his mind.
This is not because of the complicated relationship between Gou Dian and Gongsun Cheng, but because Gou Dian is the nobleman who has risen to power the fastest in recent years. Anyone who is not a fool can see what Emperor Great Britain thinks of Gou Dian.
中. If we can get the support of Gou Dian, it is no longer a distant thing to be crowned the prince, Gongsun Cheng thought.
Dozens of horses rushed all the way to the gate of the Emperor City before slowly slowing down. Gongsun Cheng looked up and suddenly found the figure of Gou Dian in his sight. Of course, in addition to Gou Dian, Ji Min and Gou Qianye also
Among them, among these people, the one Gongsun Cheng was most familiar with was Gou Dian. Of course, the first one he recognized was Gou Dian.
"Eh!? Brother Gou, why are you waiting here?" Gongsun Cheng's face was a little surprised and a little happy. He didn't expect that Cao Cao would arrive as soon as he talked about Cao Cao. In this way, he naturally felt more like inviting Gou Dian to a restaurant for a drink.
A glass of wine.
Gou Dian smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, aren't I just waiting for you here?"
"Wait for me?" Gongsun Cheng was a little stunned.
"It's a long story. I wonder if His Highness the eldest prince is willing to listen to my request?" Gou Dian smiled awkwardly and made a gesture of invitation to Gongsun Cheng.
Next to Gou Dian, Ji Min and Gou Qianye both made blessings politely, both of them seemed a little embarrassed.
Gongsun Cheng knew that this matter was not simple. He signaled to the guards around him, then dismounted and walked into the city with Gou Dian. Obviously, he wanted those guards to return to the palace first.
The dozens of guards did not go against Gongsun Cheng's wishes. They just assigned five guards to serve as Gongsun Cheng's bodyguards. The rest rode their horses ahead. The horses did not raise much dust because they were not moving very fast. This was not the case.
A small aspect shows that Gongsun Cheng has great control over his subordinates.
Goudian bowed apologetically to the guards who went ahead, and then led Gongsun Cheng to the gathered mansion.
"Goudian, I don't know why you are so anxious to find me?"
"To be honest, Your Highness Wang Zicheng, I actually don't know if you have heard of the Five-Colored Holy Lotus Seed?"
"Colorful Holy Lotus Seeds? Are they the highest legendary dowry among weddings?" Gongsun Cheng was stunned.
"Yes, it is this kind of colorful holy lotus seeds." Gou Dian nodded, and then said, "It is said that the royal family has this kind of heavenly and earthly treasure..."
"Haha, is it possible that Brother Gou is going to get married? With your fiancée Ji Dongxue?"
"No, no." Gou Dian smiled awkwardly and said, "In fact, these five-color holy lotus seeds are related to the life and death of Ji Min's master Luo Shi, the world's best inlay master..." Along the road, Gou Dian faced Gongsun Cheng.
He explained the whole story in an orderly manner.
Gongsun Cheng was indeed the best listener. After hearing the end, he chuckled and said, "Haha, has Brother Gou set his sights on my fiancée Ku Lei?"
"Your Majesty, please don't say such ambiguous words." Goudian smiled awkwardly and said.
The smile on Gongsun Cheng's face slowly faded and he said: "This is actually a bit difficult. Ku Lei and I will hold an engagement ceremony not long ago, and I believe that part of her dowry will be sent to me by then. But you
Knowing that it is a dowry that means 'a happy marriage for a hundred years', even if it involves human life, I can't help but give it to you..."
Gongsun Cheng was still a little hesitant, but Gou Dian heard a hint of discussion in it, and he was immediately reassured.
The group of people walked along the road and arrived at the exquisitely and elegantly decorated Qin Fengzhai. At this time, Gou Dian secretly signaled to Ji Min and Gou Qianye to leave, leaving him and Gongsun Cheng alone. Then he continued: "Actually, if Wang Zicheng is willing to help,
After rescuing Mr. Luo Shiluo, you will get a favor from Mr. Luo. This is definitely not an easy task. If His Highness the Prince still wants to fight for the throne, I think it will be a big deal to get the support of Mr. Luo Shiluo.
A good thing."
"So you can see it all..." Gongsun Cheng sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I didn't hide anything from you. I do have some thoughts about becoming the king of the entire empire..."
"I know that His Royal Highness the Prince is concerned about the country and the people. The more power he has, the more obligations he has to perform."
"It would be nice if you could understand my thoughts." Gongsun Cheng admitted directly without any pretense, "However, leaving aside whether Mr. Luo Shi will support me in my fight for the throne, I still hope that Brother Gou can support me and help me fight for the throne."
"I'm just a little earl, how can I be so virtuous?" Gou Dian smiled bitterly.
"Brother Gou, there is no need to belittle yourself." Gongsun Cheng disagreed, "I can see that my father attaches great importance to you. If you can stand by my side, I believe that my father will put more expectations on me.
.In this way, I will perform well and will never disappoint my father and you, Brother Gou."
"I have always been a person who serves the country. Please remember this." Gongsun Cheng looked serious and solemnly promised.
