Chapter 1529 Two Kings Gathering
In the eyes of ordinary people, the excavation of the Huaihe River Water Palace is a matter of repairing the river channel, but it cannot be hidden from the senior officials.

Not only the royal family members of Shouchun City knew about the situation, but also many first- and second-class guests guessed the truth.

Huainan almost belongs to one body, so it is no big deal for the royal family members and guest officials to know about it, but the real trouble originates from outside Huainan.

In the camp by the Huaihe River, King Huainan was drinking tea with others with a smile on his face, but he also had a headache.

To be welcomed by the King of Huainan, the standards between them are obviously equivalent.

"King Jiangdu, please!" King Huainan toasted and invited.

"I've been drinking tea at your place for three days. What's so good about this Laoshizi tea? King Huainan, please get me some dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder to eat!"

Opposite King Huainan is a strong man wearing a crown.

The strong man is about thirty years old. His hair is messy and hastily tied up with a crown, like a lion who doesn't like to groom his hair.

His hair was disheveled, and the royal robe covering his body was only hastily covered, exposing a large area of ​​bronzed and shiny skin.

With just one glance, anyone can feel the blade-like lines under the skin, as if they can bloom with shocking power at any time.

He complained, and the golden cup used by King Huainan to entertain guests was crunched and deformed by the strong man.

By the time he drank it all, the golden bottle that held the tea had sunk in, making it difficult to hold tea, wine, etc. normally.

"Without the protection of the Immortal Court, the Huaishui Dragon King would have run away long ago. Where can I get the dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder for you?" the Huainan King said with a headache.

"You are my elder after all. They say everyone who meets you has a share. Don't be so stingy," King Jiangdu muttered.

"I'm not stingy, I haven't even found Shuifu yet," King Huainan explained.

"I don't believe it," King Jiangdu said, "You have already reached the point of digging the Shui Mansion. You must be digging for the benefits. Either you know there are good things in the Shui Mansion, or you have already taken the benefits before continuing to dig."

"I didn't get any benefits," King Huainan said, "I've explained it thirty-three times, but I didn't get anything!"

"That's impossible. You would force thousands of people to do good deeds without getting any benefits. I don't believe it!"

King Jiangdu shook his head repeatedly, his head shaking like a rattle.

"Don't treat me like a child. It will never happen again that you could deceive me with a pig's trotters." King Jiangdu said, "Now at least I have to change to dragon hooves!"

"The dragon has no hooves" King Huainan corrected.

"You actually know that dragons don't have hooves, and you really caught the dragon," King Jiangdu said with great joy.

"I do not have……"

King Huainan looked like he had a headache.

He is a reasonable person, but King Jiangdu opposite him dislikes reasoning the most.

Of course, one good thing about King Jiangdu is that he is easily satisfied.

If the King of Huainan really had a dragon and cut off a leg and gave it to the other party, the other party would take the dragon's leg and happily return to his territory.

But the problem is that King Huainan really doesn’t have it.

Not only did he not find the dragon, he didn't even see the water mansion.

If it weren't for the fear that King Jiangdu would use his divine power to mess around here, King Huainan wouldn't even bother to come to the Huaihe River. He would only come over to take a look at the situation after the excavation was successful.

"Dr. Dong, you are a knowledgeable person. Please help me explain to King Jiangdu that I have really not gained any benefits." King Huainan said with a headache: "Not only have I not gained any benefits recently, I have also lost money." Shameless, Fan Monk who came from Xi Tu took away three big pills, I still feel bad for him!"

The person who asked for help when King Huainan had a headache stood beside King Jiangdu, and it was Dong Zhongshu who King Huainan had met twice. Dong Zhongshu was not very good as an official, and his individual strength was not among the top in the imperial court. However, Dong Zhongshu was a eloquent person who did not skimp on the knowledge of the Confucian school. As long as he was qualified, he would preach and practice. This made Dong Zhongshu extremely famous. Well, he is almost famous all over the world.

This kind of person has a high reputation and is perfect to be used as a middleman.

Moreover, Dong Zhongshu did not belong to the Huainan Kingdom, nor did he belong to the Jiangdu Kingdom, but was an official of the imperial faction, and would not be biased towards either side.

"Your Majesty, it's normal for King Huainan to know that dragons don't have hooves. You don't need to catch the dragon for this!"

"How do you know that dragons don't have hooves if you don't catch them!"

"There are paintings. The dragons in various paintings don't have hooves. Only creatures like pigs, cows, and sheep have hooves. The dragons have claws!"

"I understand what Mr. Dong said. It seems that King Huainan is not hiding anything!"

The king of Jiangdu could not trust the king of Huainan, but his ideas changed quickly.

Dong Zhongshu, dressed in Tsing Yi, sat two meters below King Jiangdu, also drinking the bitter tea that King Huainan served to his guests.

He frowned slightly, but he seemed to have drank some treasure while drinking tea, and he exhaled and puffed out from time to time.

It wasn't until King Huainan asked for help that Dong Zhongshu explained a few words in a low voice.

"Mr. Dong, since the King of Huainan did not hide anything, why did he come here to restrict me? The treasures of heaven and earth belong to those who are destined to obtain them, and those who witness them have a share. Why doesn't he let me dig the water palace..."

King Jiangdu didn't want to drink tea. He was talking about all kinds of things that he couldn't figure out.

Not to mention the Huainan King's headache, these problems were troublesome even for Dong Zhongshu to explain.

It is not convenient for Dong Zhongshu to talk nonsense until things come to light.

He couldn't say that King Huainan started this battle just because he was afraid of King Jiangdu's chaos.

The King of Jiangdu has the capital to act in chaos. The other party has special training and has an unknown amount of brute force. He has done all the most critical things. Many people in Jiangdu compare him with the former Overlord of Western Chu. , and when King Jiangdu was fifteen years old, he served as a general who went into battle to kill, and his bravery was far beyond ordinary people.

Most of the flaws of those who are braver than others are wisdom, and King Jiangdu did not escape this law.

If King Huainan hadn't kept pushing, Dong Zhongshu felt that King Jiangdu would have gone out and messed around a long time ago.

The longer the time goes by, the harder it will be for King Jiangdu to hold him back. He may dive into the water with a sudden thrust, and then dig hard towards the water house.

As for whether the channel of the Huaihe River will collapse, or whether the river sand and rocks accumulated above will collapse, that is not within the scope of King Jiangdu's thinking.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has come with Mr. Dongfang who discovered the Water Mansion. He said that he has found a treasure and wants to take the treasure into the Water Mansion to take a look!"

The King of Huainan had a lot of headaches in his camp, and when his son started to cause trouble again, he would inevitably have even more headaches.

"Master Dongfang's treasure can go into the water palace first. Hey, I also want to try Master Dongfang's treasure!"

When he saw King Jiangdu standing up excitedly, King Huainan felt that these people couldn't wait any longer.

It has been digging for nearly half a month now, and if we dig for another ten or eight days, we will almost be able to reach the measured distance, but everyone can't hold back their waiting thoughts.

Seeing that King Jiangdu could not be held back by words, let alone by brute force, even Mao Guan, who practiced the way of killing, did not say a word.

The King of Huainan had no choice but to put down the golden cup and stand up. Many of the guests around him also stood up and followed him.

Dong Zhongshu followed King Jiangdu and stood up again, his eyes twinkling slightly.

There are very few people with the surname Dongfang in the world, and even fewer are officials. If he guessed correctly, the Huaihe Water Mansion incident was caused by his friends in Chang'an City.
