Zhu Yuke knew this, but remained silent, waiting for what would happen next.
Qin Hou continued, "The demons are more ferocious than before. As far as I know, the Princess of Huangliang County has already died at their hands." He paused, his expression grave, and added, "And the Princesses of Baiya, Huangqi, and Sangma, who haven't yet come to wish Father a happy birthday, are most likely in danger as well..."
"Um…"
Zhu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Someone wants to steal the food? Who is it..." The images of the Qingping cultivators and the original Foundation Establishment group flashed through his mind, and a dark look appeared in his eyes.
Seeing his expression, Qin Hou mistakenly thought he was afraid, and quickly said, "They are just foreign demons. Once the imperial court has the time, they can be wiped out with a wave of its hand."
Having said that, he changed the subject:
"As the eldest son of my father, Qin Chuan was forced to descend upon the land to confront the foreign demons that had appeared in his territory, even though my father was unwell..."
He didn't say what came next, but his cold, piercing gaze said it all.
Zhu Yu laughed and said, "An ambush?"
Qin Hou nodded solemnly and cupped his hands, saying, "I will certainly repay you handsomely."
Zhu Yu nodded and said calmly, "That's possible, but Young Master Qin Chuan is very close to Lady Fei and Qin Ying. If they escort you all the way, hehe..." He shook his head with a smile.
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Hou's face lit up with joy, and he said confidently, "Uncle, don't worry. Although Lady Fei and Qin Ying are formidable, two fists can't fight four hands."
He paused, then said coldly:
"If they know what's good for them, that's fine; if they don't, then kill them both!"
"Alright, I'll go with you then." Zhu Yu readily agreed, but then his face darkened as he gave him a stern lecture. "I don't know where your confidence comes from, and I don't want to know, but remember, if things go wrong, don't blame me, your uncle, for turning my back on you..."
Having said that, he turned and returned to the courtyard he had come from.
Qin Hou cupped his hands in farewell, and only straightened up after the person was out of sight.
Two figures emerged from the corridor. The young man, dressed as a scholar, clicked his tongue twice and chuckled, "Princess Qin Ying is indeed a woman of strong character." He then turned to Qin Hou, whose expression had returned to calm, and teased, "My lord, remember to prepare gifts, and present them generously. Otherwise, if Princess Qin Ying were to betray us at the last minute, we'd be in serious trouble..."
"A great gift..."
Qin Hou frowned and pondered for a few moments. He looked at the young man with the sword, took out a waist token from his sleeve, and tossed it to him, saying, "Huaiwu, take this token to the storeroom, retrieve the 'treasure' that was presented as tribute from the South China Sea, and deliver it to my uncle."
The young man with the sword, Huaiwu, nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Qin Hou, accompanied by the young scholar, whispered among themselves and headed in the opposite direction.
On the other side...
With a gloomy face, Qin Chuan returned to his residence, "Plum Garden," surrounded by a group of trembling servants.
The gate closed.
His anxious and gloomy expression vanished completely. He dismissed the servants around him, strode to the living room, and pushed open the door.
Sunlight streamed in like water, illuminating a slightly hunched figure with his back to him.
He quickened his pace, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Great Master."
The man turned around; his beard and hair were all white, and there was a hideous scar running from his eyebrows to his chin that nearly split his head in two.
If Zhu Yu were here, he would recognize that this person is none other than Dong Biwu, the "White Dragon King" who left his group of spirits at the bottom of the river and whose whereabouts are unknown.
I just don't know why he fled to Yongzhou, or how he became a sacrificial offering to Qin Chuan.
Dong Biwu raised his eyelids slightly, and a voice like the clash of metal rang out, "How is the old prince's health?"
Qin Chuan smiled and replied, "As the Grand Elder predicted, Father's time is near." He then recounted everything that had happened in the palace.
After he finished speaking.
Dong Biwu stared at him intently for a few moments, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Very good... When the old prince passes away, you bring his body here, and I will guarantee that you will succeed him as the next governor of Yongzhou."
"Thank you, Great Offering..."
Qin Chuan's face lit up with joy, and he repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting.
"I suppose your father will soon ask you for the poison of 'drinking poison'. Don't worry too much, just give him as much as he wants. Go on..." Dong Biwu said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
"it is good."
Qin Chuan nodded in agreement and turned to leave the living room.
Wait for the door to close.
Dong Biwu's smile vanished, and he slammed his dragon-headed cane down hard, his eyes filled with regret and his heart filled with indignation.
"Curiosity really killed the cat; we just escaped one danger only to fall into another..."
That day, he was trapped by Huang Shi's army formation and had nowhere to escape. But just as he was burning his divine source and fighting desperately, he suddenly had an enlightenment and comprehended a supernatural power. His body merged with the water veins and traveled ten thousand miles in an instant.
When he came to his senses, he found that his body was almost collapsing. After resting for several days and being able to walk again, he inquired and found that he had actually come to the land of "Yongzhou".
In order to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to find an opportunity to join Qin Chuan's sect. After slightly revealing his cultivation level, he was treated as an honored guest.
He had almost recovered from his injuries and was preparing to leave, but just as he was about to leave the mansion, Qin Chuan suddenly said that his father had failed to break through to the sixth realm and did not have much time left, and asked him to help him take the position of state lord.
A physical body that failed to break through to the sixth realm...
Dong Biwu was tempted, so relying on his peak fifth-realm cultivation and the effect of "divine words", he sneaked into the secluded place of "Old Prince" Qin Wuxiang.
He had intended to just take a quick look and leave, but when he sneaked into the secret chamber and sensed the aura emanating from it, his scalp tingled. Qin Wuxiang hadn't failed in his breakthrough at all; that aura was almost on par with a "Sword Saint," a perfect Dharma Aspect, and perhaps even halfway into the "Undying" realm...
Startled, he dared not linger. He left the secret room and wanted to leave the palace, but just as he was about to leave, a terrifying sense of life and death arose in his heart.
This innate intuition had saved Dong Biwu's life countless times, so he dared not disobey and hurriedly retreated.
At first, he thought Qin Wuxiang had already discovered him and was waiting for him to come looking for him. But as time went by, no one came looking for him, and he tried to leave the mansion, but the danger still existed.
This puzzled him greatly, so he could only stay there.
Until today.
Dong Biwu was still puzzled, but as he read the books in the collection and heard some news from Qin Chuan and his servants, he gradually gained some understanding of this old prince who had been stationed in Yongzhou for a hundred years.
It can be said.
It rose to power in the Dragon Court, and it also fell from power in the Dragon Court.
He was originally an unknown figure in the imperial clan. After living past sixty, he became the "Emperor Yu" and started the struggle for the crown prince. In this nearly two-hundred-year-long battle for the throne, he showed his prowess.
If it weren't for a single misstep in the game.
A person must have a place in a high-ranking position in the government.
His divine pronouncements and actions were indeed aptly described as "pulling chestnuts out of the fire."
Thoughts raced through Dong Biwu's mind. As if struck by a sudden realization, his eyes gleamed with a strange light, and he murmured:
"Exotic demons..."
"Are you deliberately letting the demons run rampant, intending to throw Yongzhou into chaos, and then attempt to reverse the collapse of the world and break through to the 'Undying' realm?..."
