Xia Tian sat on the wooden chair, his boots close to the ground, feeling the subtle vibrations in the ground, and a glimmer of wisdom flashed deep in his eyes.
The water monster that can make this cheap man and the enshrinement hall helpless must be the "Golden Nine Tails" from Huangzhou!
This is the enshrinement hall, and below is the Jixia Underground Palace. The ground is shaking constantly. It seems that the water monster is acting as a demon below, leaving Emperor Xia helpless.
Tonight, the people of the Rebirth Cult are causing trouble outside, probably to cover the actions of the water monster!
But who was the person who intercepted and killed Emperor Xia on the road?
Xia Tian's eyes glanced at Eunuch Wei.
I saw this complicated old eunuch looking directly at his nose and nose, looking at his heart. The old eunuch was standing behind Emperor Xia with a calm expression, unable to tell what was going on!
at this time.
Emperor Xia, Mo Huo, and the prince who woke up all looked at Xia Tian, waiting for him to speak.
Then, Xia Tian frowned: "What kind of water monster?"
"What underground palace?"
Emperor Xia blinked his eagle eyes lightly, "Xiao Jiu, there is an underground palace dedicated to His Highness. The water monster keeps hitting the door of the underground palace, making the palace restless. Do you have any way to deal with it?"
Speaking of this, Emperor Xia said with deep meaning: "Xiao Jiu, this water monster may come from Huangzhou. Since you can kill the dragon in Huangzhou, I believe you will have no problem killing the water monster here!"
Of course Xia Tian knew that the water monster came from Huangzhou: "Father, the dragon in Huangzhou was killed by my son, but you also know that I was born with blocked meridians and couldn't practice martial arts. If I really went to the river to kill the dragon, maybe the dragon would be killed." If you can’t kill it, the child will become food for the dragon!”
After hearing this, Emperor Xia's face became a little strange: "Who killed the dragon?"
"trap!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "What trap?"
Xia Tian explained seriously: "At first, I didn't know that there were dragons in the water in Huangzhou. I just set up a trap by the river to hunt down the crocodiles."
"Unexpectedly, a dragon came ashore and ran headlong into the trap set by Er Chen. He was unable to escape and was hunted down by Er Chen's personal guards!"
Xia Tian’s explanation is reasonable!
Emperor Xia was a little disappointed!
If Xia Tian really used this method to hunt dragons, it would not work in the underground palace at all!
Because the water monster is under the underground palace and cannot place traps!
However, since Xia Tian has entered the Enshrinement Hall, should he be allowed to enter the underground palace and crack the palace door?
This idea made Emperor Xia a little excited.
However, what if there is no elixir of life in the underground palace?
Emperor Xia thought again of the nearly one million untouchables and refugees in Huangzhou, and the beautiful face of Concubine Qin came to mind, and he resisted the impulse!
Next to him, the prince looked confused!
Although he is the prince of Daxia, he has limited knowledge of the secrets of Jixia Underground Palace, and he is even more confused about underground monsters.
Prince Xia Yu had long heard about Xia Tian's killing of the dragon, but he had always thought it was Huangzhou's boast and could not be believed.
I never thought this was true!
Damn it, I set a trap to catch crocodiles and actually caught a dragon. What kind of luck is this?
Thinking of this, the prince remembered the rumor that the one who could kill the dragon must be a real dragon!
When he thought of the word "true dragon", the prince's heart was like a thousand ants, wishing to kill Xia Tian immediately.
He, Xia Yu, is the true dragon of the future!
Damn it, absolutely not!
at this time.
Everyone had their own thoughts, making the hall eerily quiet!
Suddenly, the vibration in the ground disappeared!
Emperor Xia, Eunuch Wei, and Mo Huo had a flash of light in their eyes. They raised their ears and pressed their feet tightly to the ground, sensing the movement underground!
After a while.
"Whoosh"
A Mohist master hurriedly rushed into the hall: "Your Majesty, Big Man, the water monster has stopped hitting!"
"The situation is unknown!"
Without knowing the situation underground, Emperor Xia couldn't give instructions!
Silence continued in the hall.
Another moment passed.
"Report"
The leader of the golden-armored guards rushed into the hall and said: "Your Majesty, a huge whirlpool was found in the Imperial City's moat. There was a streak of gold under the water that rushed along the moat into the Imperial River, and then disappeared under our surveillance!"
Mo Huo said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the water monster had to escape because it could not enter the underground palace!"
Emperor Xia agreed with Mo Huo's reasoning: "Mo Huo, send all the disciples of the Mo family out to search carefully in the area where the golden water monster was found. I still don't believe that we can't find the waterway into the underground palace!"
"yes!"
Mo Huo took the order: "Your Majesty, the Mo family Cuttlefish has returned to the imperial capital, what should we do with it?"
Emperor Xia said calmly: "This is an internal matter of your Mo family, I will not participate!"
"yes!"
Mo Huoyou turned around to face Xia Tian: "My lord, which one do you think is stronger, Confucianism or Mohism?"
Xia Xia said pertinently: "Since your two families have been passed down to this day, whichever family has more disciples, whichever family can make people literate, and which family can make my Daxia nation stronger, will be stronger!"
Now, Confucianism is the number one school of thought in Daxia!
Mo Huo's face darkened: "Your Majesty, in this case, do you think the Mohist family is inferior to the Confucian family?"
Xia Tian said calmly: "Confucianism has the strengths of Confucianism, and Mohism has the strengths of Mohism."
Mo Huo was dissatisfied and turned around and left: "Your Majesty, since you think that our Mohist family is not as good as Confucianism, one day, my Mohist family will definitely come to ask for advice!"
The words fell and the person disappeared.
Suddenly, Xia Tian felt that the Mohist family had always been suppressed and beaten by the Confucianists, and it was not without reason.
Both Mohuo and Cuiyu have no brains.
"Cough cough cough"
Emperor Xia coughed a few times, bringing Xia Tian's thoughts back, and said seriously: "Xiao Ba, Xiao Jiu, regarding your brothers' bet, the whole city has been in trouble. People say that your brothers are fighting with each other for the sake of the crown princess."
"is that true?"
Xia Tian shook his head.
The prince nodded.
"Xiaojiu, did you also write a poem in front of Xiaoba?"
"Read it to me!"
Xia Tian was a little surprised. If this poem wasn't told by the prince, there was someone from the Imperial City Department among the prince's entourage!
He opened his mouth and chanted: "The beans are boiling on the stove, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They are from the same root, so there is no need to rush to fry them."
"They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into mutual conflict."
Emperor Xia said with a complicated expression: "Xiao Jiu wrote this poem well!"
"You are brothers, and only by loving each other can you create a legend in the world!"
"If we try to undermine each other, outsiders will laugh!"
"It will lose the face of the royal family!"
"This kind of thing must not happen in the future!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian and the prince accepted the order at the same time.
Emperor Xia then said with a look of relief: "Then I declare now that you will give up your bet this time!"
"The bet is off!"
The prince was overjoyed: "Yes, I obey!"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids!
Is this going too far?
Can’t afford to lose?
Xia Tian took out the bet and said: "Father, I have some opinions."
