Chapter 206: The famous legend of Yu has twists and turns
September 15th, Kangning Palace in the Shang Palace.
Today, the eldest princess Wushuang came back to visit her father, queen mother and brother Wang.
After lunch, the family of four sat down and chatted.
The Queen looked at her youngest daughter, concerned about her marriage and asked:
"Wushuang, you have seen most of the young geniuses and heroes in Dayu now, do you have any that you like?"
Wushuang smiled helplessly and replied: "Mother, you should know that Wushuang's intention is not here. When we met, we just talked about some cultivation matters."
The King of Shang was also very concerned about this young girl's marriage, and suggested: "In terms of appearance, cultivation and birth, Xuanyuan Chengfeng, Ji Ziqian and Jiang Mingcong are all outstanding and can be good matches."
The Supreme King nodded in agreement, "Wushuang, what your brother Wang said is true. Although marriage is not your original intention, since you can't avoid it, you naturally have to choose someone who matches each other."
Wushuang shook his head slightly and replied: "Father, if Wushuang chooses Xuanyuan Chengfeng, it is tantamount to voluntarily giving up that qualification. I have been working hard for this for more than ten years and do not want to give up halfway.
Looking at their own conditions alone, Ji Ziqian and Jiang Mingcong are indeed suitable, and they can be of great help to our Shang country.
However, if Ji Ziqian is chosen, it will cause dissatisfaction and difficulty in the Yan Kingdom.
As for Jiang Mingcong, his open-mindedness is really disgusting to Wushuang. He is in a dilemma."
The Supreme Queen was puzzled: "Ming Cong has always been humble to others, and he is even more filial and considerate towards me. Why did Wu Shuang say this?"
So Wushuang talked about the verbal conflict between Jiang Mingcong and Fu Chen.
And shortly afterwards, Fu Chen told everything about being kidnapped and framed.
Finally, he commented: "Although the clues have been cut off and there is no evidence, there is no such thing as unreasonable hatred in the world.
Wushuang and Fu Chen have the same view, and there is absolutely no one other than Jiang Mingcong involved in this matter."
King Shang suddenly understood, nodded and said: "It's no wonder that Chi Xiao was so angry a few days ago that he even interrogated the prisoner himself. It turned out to be because of this matter."
The Supreme King smiled and consoled him: "It seems that Ji Ziqian has been appointed for the time being, and Wu Shuang does not need to feel embarrassed.
When that identity is gradually revealed during the study tour, Yan Guo will not only not make things difficult for him, but will actively get close to him in order to gain attachment."
Wushuang nodded silently, and asked after discussion: "Father, Queen Mother, Brother Wang, can this matter be postponed? Wushuang wants to wait a little longer, maybe he can wait for the news of the master and find a way to avoid getting married."
King Shang nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "This is natural. Even if Ji Ziqian is tentatively appointed, Brother Wang will first send people to various countries to carefully inquire about his past deeds and ensure that he lives up to his name. Until the results come out, everything will remain as usual.
"
Wushuang stood up and saluted King Shang solemnly: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang!"

Wushuang Palace.
Shortly after noon, Princess Chixiao arrived in high spirits.
Although they were far away, as soon as they saw Fu Chen, they shouted happily: "Fu Chen, congratulations, you are on the top of the beauty list in Dayu."
Princess Chixiao happily came to Fu Chen and handed over the latest issue of Beauty List.
Fu Chen took over a thin book with the words "Dayu Beauty List" written on the cover.
Turn to the first page: Number one on the list is Fu Chen, male, from Wushuang Palace of Shang State.
On August 30th, he appeared for the first time at the disciple banquet of King Shang Academy, and his appearance shocked everyone.
Among them, the genius Xuanyuan Chengfeng of Xuanyuan Family, Xie Ling'er of Xuantian Academy, Ren Tianya of Juntian Academy and other master-level geniuses were all impressed by his appearance and charm.
Furthermore, His Highness Wushuang of the Shang Kingdom personally acknowledged and approved the ranking of the former beauty, and was willing to succumb to it.
Therefore, Fu Chen finally topped the beauty list in Dayu as a man. This was also the first time a man appeared on the beauty list.
Turning to another page, there was a portrait of Fu Chen. Fortunately, he was a faceless man with no facial features.
There is also a note below: Even a painter with superb painting skills cannot depict the charm of his appearance, so the appearance part is blank.
The second place behind, Her Royal Highness Wushuang, the eldest princess of Shang Kingdom, the former beauty number one, the master-level cultivation, etc. are introduced in detail.
Princess Chixiao could see clearly and observed very carefully.
Seeing Fu Chen's expression, he was confused at first, then frowned and worried, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
So he asked directly: "What's wrong, Fu Chen, you don't seem happy at all?"
As he became more and more familiar with Princess Chixiao and understood her character, Fu Chen didn't mince words and replied directly.
"Princess, I don't have any cultivation now. Suddenly the news has spread throughout Yu. Do you think I can still have a happy life in the future?
There is a saying in my hometown, "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong." Being famous without any ability is not a good thing.
Fortunately, there is no portrait of me on it, otherwise things like the last kidnapping might not have stopped."
Princess Chixiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded slowly.
Hei Jiao Zhi heard the word "pig" and quickly ran to Fu Chen's side with his hooves, calling out "hum hum" several times.
It listened to Fu Chen's words every day and probably understood a little bit. It thought "Pig" was calling him, so it ran over.
When Fu Chen was feeling depressed, he stared at it maliciously and joked:
"Jiang Mingcong said that the meat of the horned pig is tender and delicious. You can eat it so much. I will try it when you are fattened up."
When Chi Xiao saw it, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "What a good horned pig, you have raised it into a family dog."
Then, he looked at Fu Chen with a disappointed expression: "Fu Chen, are you and I in conflict with each other? Why do nothing good happen every time you see me?"
Fu Chen smiled and replied: "The princess is so sentimental. I am definitely lucky to meet the princess. It's not too late for me to be happy."
"Is this true?" Chi Xiao suddenly asked with a smile on his face.
Fu Chen nodded affirmatively and replied: "It's more real than real gold. If the princess hadn't stood up for me at the palace banquet, I don't know how Jiang Mingcong would have planned it.
When I was kidnapped, if I wasn't sure that the princess could come to the rescue in time, I wouldn't have dared to risk running out to delay the situation.
His public spirit and outspokenness make him a rare friend in life, and I will definitely remember him in my heart for the rest of my life."
Chi Xiao nodded repeatedly as he listened, feeling physically and mentally comfortable. Until Fu Chen finished the last sentence, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He asked in confusion: "Remember it for life? What does this mean?"
Fu Chen replied slightly sadly: "Princess Chixiao, on September 18th in three days, I will leave Wushuang Palace and Xuandu City and embark on the journey home. Today I wish the princess in advance that she will improve her cultivation and everything goes well."
Already."
After finishing speaking, Fu Chen solemnly saluted Princess Chixiao.
The smile on Chi Xiao's face disappeared, and he looked depressed. He was silent for a long time before he asked.
"Can't you continue to stay in Shang Kingdom? If Wushuang Palace is uncomfortable living here, I can buy you another mansion."
Fu Chen sighed deeply and explained that he came to Shang Kingdom by accident.
My relatives and parents at home don’t know the news, so I have to go home first.
At the same time, Fu Chen also promised that he would definitely return to Xuandu City of Shang Kingdom in the future, and everyone would have a drink and talk together.
Princess Chixiao knew that she could not stop Fu Chen from returning home, so she came happily and left dejectedly.
Before leaving, he left a message: "Fu Chen, on September 18th, I will personally see you off and escort you out of Xuandu City."
After Chi Xiao left, Fu Chen sat on the steps in front of the door and was in a daze for a while, shouting "Canopy".
He expressed his thoughts to Hei Jiao Zhe who ran over: "Tian Peng, do you know? Shang Guo is very good, Chi Xiao is also very good, but I have to leave. There are still many things waiting for me to do at home."
Hei Jiao Zhi just thought that Fu Chen was talking to him as usual, and had no idea what he was saying. He just listened quietly and hummed from time to time.
***
Three days later, on September 18th.
In front of the main entrance of Wushuang Palace, Fu Chen set out to leave Xuandu City today.
Princess Wushuang led the four guards and maids to see Fu Chen off in person.
Princess Chixiao also came and was waiting in front of her carriage.
Because Chi Xiao would personally escort Fu Chen until he left Xuandu City.
Wushuang said: "Qianyu and Qingyun have prepared some clothes and luggage for you, and they are on the carriage behind."
Fu Chen saluted solemnly and said goodbye: "Thank you again for your highness's life-saving kindness. Fu Chen will bear this kindness in mind and say goodbye."
Wushuang nodded and replied: "Fu Meiren, I hope you will return home soon. Please take care of yourself all the way!"
Watching Fu Chen board the carriage of Princess Chixiao, followed by the carriage sent by Wushuang Palace, they all headed towards the outer city.
Wushuang said to himself: "I saved you, but with a little effort, you helped me see the true face of Jiang Mingcong as early as possible, and eliminated a hidden danger for me and Shang Guo. I should thank you."
It wasn't until Fu Chen's carriage turned north and disappeared that Wushuang looked away, turned around and ordered: "Go back to the palace!"
***
Among the horses that were driving slowly.
Princess Chixiao and her maid Que'er sat aside.
Opposite is Fu Chen and his pet "Cempeng" next to him.
Chi Xiao looked at Hei Jiao and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to take it away too."
Fu Chen smiled and replied: "It only eats what I feed. I have no choice but to take it with me. It happens to be able to talk to me."
Chi Xiao nodded, then pointed at the carriage following behind and said, "Fu Chen, in addition to the clothes and luggage prepared by Wu Shuang, I also prepared a box for you and put it on the horse.
In addition, it contains my token. If you encounter any problems in the Shang Kingdom, you can use this token to find the local government to solve it for you."
Fu Chen thanked him seriously: "Thank you very much, princess, for taking the trouble."
Chi Xiao still refused to give up and tried to persuade: "Fu Chen, you are not even sure where your home is. Just relying on a clue near Yuzhou is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Why leave in a hurry."
Of course, Fu Chen couldn't say that he was in a hurry to leave just to break the golden elixir seal and restore his cultivation.
I had no choice but to continue to say some specious words to deal with it. There was only one principle, insist on going home.
The carriage passed the north gate of the inner city, then drove slowly north, and finally arrived in front of the north gate of Xuandu City.
Fu Chen got off Chi Xiao's carriage and sent the Black Horn Pig to another carriage. He sat in the coachman's seat and solemnly said goodbye: "Princess Chi Xiao, take care of me!"
After finishing speaking, Fu Chen felt relaxed, said "I'm free" in his heart, and drove the carriage all the way north.
After leaving Xuandu City, the carriage had only traveled more than ten miles when it was overtaken by a group of mounted guards and blocked the way.
The leading guard loudly said: "There is Fu Chen Fu's beauty in the car. By the king's order, I ask the beauty to return to Xuandu City immediately and return to the palace to see you!"
