Chapter 438 Cooperating with Xu Jinyu? College enrollment!
Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
During this time, there was an endless stream of people giving gifts in front of Su Luoheng's door. The forces behind these people were basically all the princes and nobles in the court. There were countless rare things.
Although the identity of the Snow Emperor has not been made public, this is only relative.
The relationship between Su Luoheng and Snow Emperor has long been an open secret among the princes and nobles.
No matter where they are, strong people are worthy of wooing and approaching. The reason why these people frequently show their goodwill to me is to make friends with Su Luoheng and the Snow Emperor behind him.
If you can gain the friendship of an Extreme Douluo, the benefits will be self-evident. Although it will not directly affect the empire's decision-making, it will still hold a considerable amount of weight.
In subsequent contacts with these people, Su Luoheng also obtained a lot of information about the Sun and Moon Court. Naturally, the most mentioned issue was the issue of the crown prince.
I have to admit that Xu Tianran's position is too stable.
First, nearly a quarter of the officials in the court chose to side with him.
Secondly, one and a half of the four major national-protecting hand soul mentor groups in the legion are firmly in his hands.
These two forces are Xu Tianran's greatest capital.
So even though he is disabled now, he can still firmly hold his position as the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, and no one can shake him.
but……
As a prince, no one would want to be inferior to others.
Even if the chance is slim, they don't want to give up the chance of inheritance.
If you want to ascend to the throne of the Sun and Moon Empire, it is absolutely impossible without the support of powerful forces. Now, in addition to the support of the four major soul mentor groups, Chaotang, Mingdetang, etc., there is now another Snow Emperor.
So now these princes of the Sun and Moon Empire are frequently wooing themselves, and their goal is nothing more than to use the power of the Snow Emperor's Ultimate Douluo level to increase their own political capital.
Although Su Luoheng also wanted to find someone to cooperate with Xu Tianran.
But choosing allies requires careful consideration. After all, people are unpredictable, and it is difficult to guarantee interests when it comes to it. My father is a clear negative example.
The prerequisite for cooperation is that both parties must be aware of it.
It was difficult to tell whether the intelligence collected from the outside world was true or false, and in addition, none of these princes he had any real knowledge of. Therefore, after observing in secret, Su Luoheng did not reach cooperation with them.
Thinking about it...
In the final analysis, Su Luoheng only knew that one person in the Sun and Moon Imperial Family: Although this person's identity was a bit deviated, he was a genuine member of the royal family.
But I can test my attitude from him.
…
…
The central area of Mingdu, Prince Heng's Mansion.
At this moment, the door to the treasury in the mansion was opened, and several servants were constantly going back and forth to the treasury, carrying large boxes one after another into the courtyard. A dedicated person was responsible for counting the quantities.
After a while, a large number of boxes were piled up in the courtyard.
It contains all the rare treasures collected by the palace.
"..."
Xu Jinyu stood in the courtyard and watched quietly.
"Your Highness, the statistics are ready."
At this moment, Mr. Chen, the palace steward, came over with a list.
"There are still more than 2,000 kilograms of various precious metal materials collected by the palace. These include purple gold and copper, Tianling Silver, Mingjing, meteorite iron, star-moon alloy..."
"The above is all the inventory of the palace."
After a short pause, Mr. Chen looked at Xu Jinyu and said, "Your Highness, how much do you think we should take out this time?"
"Half of it."
Xu Jinyu said indifferently.
"When you're ready, send it to Su Luoheng."
"half……"
When Mr. Chen heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
You must know that these are all the savings of Prince Heng's Mansion, which the old prince has saved with great difficulty. Although Su Luoheng has an Ultimate Douluo behind him, giving away half of it at once would be too much, right?
Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment and considered: "Your Highness, are these things too much? We don't know Su Luoheng's attitude yet, so if we rashly send such a generous gift, if we don't get a response, wouldn't it be..."
"Uncle Chen, I know what you are worried about."
Xu Jinyu sighed softly when he heard this and said slowly.
"You should be very clear about my father's current situation. If we don't want Prince Heng's palace to be divided up by them, Su Luoheng and the Ultimate Douluo behind him are our only chance now."
"I happened to have a relationship with Su Luoheng before, and I also have this relationship with Senior Ran. It's worth taking the gamble. So we need to show enough sincerity. This is our stepping stone."
"..."
A look of determination appeared on Xu Jinyu's eyebrows.
"Uncle Chen, I'll leave this matter to you."
"My subordinate understands."
Mr. Chen was silent for a long time, then nodded with his hands in hand.
He understood Xu Jinyu's dilemma.
Ever since the old prince fell ill, the situation in Prince Heng's Mansion has been deteriorating. The princes, princes and grandsons who had previously tried to win over him all changed their faces, and they all wanted to get a piece of the royal family's pie.
As the saying goes, human relationships are cold and warm, but the world is cold and cold.
When the tree falls, the macaques scatter, and the grass on the wall falls with the wind.
With internal and external troubles, this situation is really too difficult for the entire Prince Heng's Mansion. In order to preserve the foundation left by the old prince, His Highness is unwilling to give up even if there is a little hope.
Mr. Chen understands this truth.
And all he can do now is follow orders.
"..."
"Your Highness, Su Luoheng is here to visit."
At this moment, the guards outside the mansion quickly came to the inner courtyard. When they saw Xu Jinyu, they immediately knelt down and handed over their hands.
Su Luoheng?
Why did he come to the palace?
Xu Jinyu was stunned for a moment, looking surprised.
Countless thoughts passed through my mind for a while, and I asked at the same time.
"Where now?"
"Waiting in the hall."
"Ask him to come in, I'll be there soon."
"yes!"
"..."
Xu Jinyu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Su Luoheng's unexpected visit this time may have another purpose.
Maybe it could also be an opportunity for them to preserve Prince Heng’s Mansion!
Thinking of this, Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed with excitement. After instructing his men to prepare the metal materials as soon as possible, he quickly walked to the front hall.

…
Meanwhile, the front room.
Su Luoheng is waiting for Xu Jinyu to arrive.
That's right, Su Luoheng's so-called candidate is Xu Jinyu.
Although he is not the current prince, he still has the right to inherit the throne.
Moreover, he nominally controls the Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Corps. Although it has been infiltrated by various forces, the Soul Mentor Corps is still nominally under the control of Prince Heng's Mansion, and there are still some loyal people in the legion.
The most important thing is that I know something about Xu Jinyu. I have interacted with him in the Jingyang Mountains and the Soul Guidance Shop before. Moreover, my teacher has a very good personal relationship with Prince Heng's Mansion, so I have a relationship with him.
Su Luoheng learned from the teacher that the old prince of Prince Heng's Mansion might not be able to hold on for long, and that Xu Jinyu was in a very bad situation now. This was the time when he needed someone to help him.
So Su Luoheng planned to try to contact Xu Jinyu.
Find out what he is and see if you can cooperate with him.
…
…
Not long after.
Xu Jinyu walked into the hall and sat at the main seat.
Because the two of them had been in contact before, they were not strangers to each other. After saying hello, they started chatting casually.
"..."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, it was time to get down to business. Xu Jinyu first waved his hand to signal the attendants to leave, and then looked at Su Luoheng, who was sitting next to him.
"I wonder why Brother Luo Heng paid a sudden visit today?"
Su Luoheng smiled indifferently and said gently, "I specially want to thank Brother Xu today. During my time away from Sun Moon College, I also want to thank you for taking care of the store for your help."
"It's just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."
Xu Jinyu waved his hand and said seriously: "If it weren't for you and Senior Ran's rescue in the Jingyang Mountains, I would have been buried in the belly of a wolf. How could I be here today?"
"It's just a little effort."
Su Luoheng smiled and shook his head.
"..."
"Your Highness, what you want."
While talking, the attendant walked into the hall and presented the gift box.
After placing him in front of Su Luoheng, he bowed respectfully.
"Brother Xu, what do you mean?"
"Luo Heng, this is specially prepared for you."
"After I heard that you returned to the academy some time ago, I planned to pay you a visit. I have prepared all these gifts for you. Unexpectedly, you came to my place first. Just take these things."
"Brother Xu, between you and me, there is no need..."
"Luo Heng, you might as well take a look before talking."
Before Su Luoheng could refuse, Xu Jinyu had already taken out the blue space crystal stone and handed it to Su Luoheng.
Mental power wrapped the crystal, and when he saw the large amount of precious metals piled inside, even Su Luoheng couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"Brother Xu, your gift is too expensive..."
"Brother Luo Heng, just accept it. These things are useless if they are left in our palace's treasury. If they are left in the hands of a soul master like you, they will be put to their best use."
"..."
In the end, with Xu Jinyu’s persistence.
Su Luoheng still accepted this generous gift.
"If things hadn't been complicated during this period, this gift should have been given to you long ago."
As he spoke, Xu Jinyu sighed with a sad look on his face.
After hearing this, Su Luoheng asked: "On the way to the palace, I also heard some rumors. I just don't know what the prince's current physical condition is? The dyer has also been paying attention."
Xu Jinyu sighed, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Senior Lao Fanran is worried about him. It's just that my father's physical condition has begun to deteriorate recently, and now there is no cure. I'm afraid... he won't be able to survive for long."
"Brother Xu, you don't have to be too pessimistic. Things may turn around until the last minute." Su Luoheng comforted.
"..."
Hearing this, Xu Jinyu smiled bitterly and laughed at himself.
"Brother Luo Heng is not afraid of your jokes. Ever since my father was critically ill, I, Prince Heng, have come to appreciate the warmth and warmth of human nature and the harshness of the world. How many people in the Ming Dynasty want my father to live now?"
"Brother Luo Heng, to be honest, apart from you and Senior Ran, I can't find anyone trustworthy outside."
"..."
Su Luoheng's eyes flashed slightly, thoughtfully.
Obviously, he had heard what Xu Jinyu was saying.
Then, I also need to release some signals.
"I didn't expect that Brother Xu would trust me so much."
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng said, "Although many members of the royal family have become friends with me recently, I don't know much about them. You are the only person in the royal family who I know well."
"so……"
"We must help each other, what do you think?"
"Yes, Brother Luo Heng is right!"
Hearing this, Xu Jinyu's eyes lit up.
They are all smart people, so they naturally understand what the other person is saying.
At the moment, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not delve further into the topic. However, they both understood each other's intention to cooperate, and the atmosphere of the conversation became more harmonious.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye it was already noon.
"It's noon already?"
"I didn't expect that we would chat for so long."
Xu Jinyu looked at the time and invited: "It's time for dinner. Brother Luo Heng, why don't you come with me to dine with me? The chefs in my house are all royal chefs in the palace, and their skills are outstanding."
"No, no, no, I'll go back and eat."
Su Luoheng waved his hand.
"In that case, I will give it to you."
"I didn't have enough fun today, but we will definitely meet again next time."
"There must be a chance, and it won't be long."
"..."
Immediately, Xu Jinyu sent Su Luoheng out of the mansion.
The first conversation between the two came to an end. It was a pleasant conversation. Although neither of them said it clearly, they had already confirmed their intention to cooperate with each other.
Because cooperation is definitely not something that can be determined overnight.
So it is enough to confirm each other's intention to cooperate today.
As for commitments and conditions, they have to wait until the next conversation. The time between the next conversation is the thinking time for them to confirm the cooperation conditions and commitments.
"..."
After leaving Prince Heng's Mansion, Su Luoheng walked on the road.
Originally, I didn't want to get involved in the royal family's turmoil, but most of the time, people can't help themselves and are carried forward by the waves of the times. Just like for the safety of my teacher, I have to connect to the Sun and Moon Palace.
Although I don't want to, I have to do it.
Unless, you can master absolute power.
Maybe it will be possible in the future, but now we can only take things step by step.
Use everything you have at your disposal to try your best to reverse the teacher's death.
…
…
a week later.
It’s the annual enrollment season again, and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is bustling with activity today. Enrollment hasn’t even started yet, but a large number of new students preparing for the exam have already gathered outside the door.
A rough estimate is that the number of people who have sacrificed this year is 20% to 30% more than in previous years.
Because in addition to the original students from the Sun and Moon Empire, there are also many students from the Douluo Three Kingdoms. They all came to register for the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Su Luoheng's feat of single-handedly challenging the entire Shrek Inner Academy has been widely spread within the Douluo Three Kingdoms, causing many people to become interested in soul tools and the Sun and Moon Academy.
Coupled with the recent decline in the reputation of Shrek Academy, etc., the combination of many reasons has resulted in some students flowing into the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
It can only be said that some people shoot themselves in the foot.
Instead of regaining face, it became a stepping stone for others.
