Chapter 140 Ning Shangshu
Ten Dzogchen sergeants carried five boxes of treasures into the Shangshu Mansion.
Prince Yunwu and Zhang Ruochen came to the side hall and waited quietly for Ning Shangshu to receive them.
About half an hour later, the old housekeeper came in from outside and whispered to Prince Yunwu.
Prince Yunwu nodded, stood up, and said to Zhang Ruochen: "Jiu'er, wait here, don't run around, I will go see Ning Shangshu first."
Prince Yunwu and ten Dzogchen masters wearing armor carried five boxes of treasures to a magnificent hall in the Shangshu Mansion.
It is said to be a lobby, but it is taller and majestic than the royal palace of Yunwu County. The ground is paved with jade, with thirty-six thick copper pillars standing, and two rows of beautiful maids standing there.
From a distance, the Prince of Yunwu Commandery bowed his hands to Ning Shangshu and said with a smile: "Greetings to Master Ning, this is some small meaning of Yunwu Commandery. I hope Master Shangshu will accept it."
Ning Shangshu is an old man with white beard and white eyebrows. He is wearing a purple official robe. He is sitting on the purple gold Taishi chair. He is holding a jade tea cup. He smiles slightly and says: "I expected that you would definitely come to visit in the next few days. You Boy, your cultivation seems to have improved recently."
Ning Shangshu is already one hundred and thirty-seven years old, and his cultivation is unfathomable. In front of him, Prince Yunwu can really only be regarded as a junior.
Although Ning Shangshu is old, his eyes are very bright, like two stars, he can completely see through the cultivation of Prince Yunwu.
In front of Ning Shangshu, Prince Yunwu did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and said quickly: "Compared with Lord Shangshu, how can my meager cultivation level stand out?"
Ning Shangshu sat above him, as steady as a mountain, and as powerful as the vast sea. He smiled and said, "Sit down! Let's talk slowly. I just met with the king of the Fire Dragon Commandery, and he also wants to meet with the Qianshui Commandery. Marriage."
He added: "The prince from the Fire Dragon Commandery is a talented person with extremely high talent. At only nineteen years old, he has already reached the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm and has a great chance of becoming a Xuanbang warrior. He wants to let I help and let his son meet the Thirteenth Princess alone, and I have agreed to him."
Prince Yunwu frowned slightly and said, "Master Shangshu, the purpose of my visit this time..."
Ning Shangshu smiled and said: "I understand that you also want to marry, right? If you can bring the seventh prince, the chance is quite high. But according to the information I have obtained, what you brought is not the seventh prince, but the ninth prince. Prince, I’m afraid the chances are much smaller.”
Prince Yunwu said: "The talent of the Ninth Prince is not inferior to that of the Seventh Prince. As long as he is given time, he will definitely become a Xuanbang warrior."
Ning Shangshu shook his head and sighed, saying: "You have no idea how fierce the competition is this time. Almost all the princes of the thirty-six counties in Tianmoling brought their best princes to Qianshui King City. Not only that, but also Princes from other counties. Within Qianshui County, major families also want to marry the royal family and send out their most outstanding disciples, all hoping to capture the hearts of the thirteen princesses."
"If you bring the Seventh Prince to Qianshui King City, you will at least have a certain degree of competitiveness. After all, the Seventh Prince is also considered the most talented person in the thirty-six counties of Tianmoling. There are not many young people in Qianshui County. He can compete with him. I estimate that he has at least a 30% chance. However, for the Ninth Prince, the chance of winning the favor of the Thirteenth Princess is less than 1%."
Prince Yunwu was also a little sad, knowing that Ning Shangshu was telling the truth. The competition this time was indeed fierce, mainly because the Princess of Thirteen was very beautiful, had the talent for cultivation, and was the daughter of Prince Qianshui. Naturally, everyone wanted to marry her.
There are thirty-seven daughters of Princess Qianshui, but there are only a few outstanding princesses like Princess Thirteen.
Ning Shangshu looked at the five boxes sent by Prince Yunwu, pondered for a moment, and said: "Prince Yunwu, we are old friends. I will definitely help you with whatever you need. Before the sword discussion conference, The thirteen princesses have to meet in advance the talented people who come to Qianshui King City. If they are chosen by her, they will be qualified to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference. Finally, the genius who performs the most outstandingly in the Sword Discussion Conference can become her The Prince Consort.”
"What I can help is to try to let the Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Princess meet. Whether he can pass the test of the Thirteenth Princess depends on the performance of the Ninth Prince."
Prince Yunwu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu."
Ning Shangshu smiled and said: "Don't be too happy too early. Princess Thirteen has very high standards. It's best for the Ninth Prince to give her a valuable gift. If she can like that gift, then she will be The chances she sees are also higher. After all, the first image is very important."
"One more thing. When you come to Qianshui County, the Ninth Prince should keep a low profile. Especially the title 'prince', it is best not to use it, so as not to offend the princes of Qianshui County."
"I will tell him these details." Prince Yunwu said.
Ning Shangshu pondered for a moment and said: "It's getting late today. The time to meet the Thirteenth Princess is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
Prince Yunwu left five boxes of treasures in Shangshu Mansion and returned to the manor with Zhang Ruochen and ten guards.
Prince Yunwu called Zhang Ruochen to the room alone, took out a two-meter-high box, placed it in front of Zhang Ruochen, and said: "There is an ancient sword at the level of a seventh-level true weapon in the box. You will give the ancient sword to him tomorrow." The Thirteenth Princess of Qianshui County. You have to remember that we came to Qianshui County this time to ask for help. We must strive to win the favor of the Thirteenth Princess. If the Thirteenth Princess is happy, maybe she will win the favor. The crisis in Wu Junguo can be easily solved."
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "I will try my best."
Putting the sword box away, Zhang Ruochen retreated.
Prince Yunwu sat under the lamp and let out a long sigh.
He doesn't have much hope for Zhang Ruochen, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must always try his best to fight for it and never sit back and wait for death.
The next day, under the leadership of the old housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion, Zhang Ruochen came to a manor with elegant environment.
In addition, Zuo Longlin, the prince of Fire Dragon County, also came outside the manor. He also came to have a blind date with the thirteenth princess.
Zuo Longlin was holding a one-foot-square glazed box in his hand. He looked to be about twenty years old. He was indeed very handsome. His martial arts cultivation was also quite strong, and he had reached the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm.
Zuo Longlin puffed out his chest, feeling that he was superior to others. He glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile, "Are you the ninth prince of Yunwu County?"
Zhang Ruochen held the sword box and replied: "Yes!"
"It is said that Sifang County declared war on your Yunwu County and defeated your Yunwu County. You had no choice but to take the path of the thirteenth princess?" Zuo Longlin had a sarcastic smile in his eyes.
A prince from a country that was about to be destroyed was not taken seriously by him at all.
Zhang Ruochen did not show any displeasure, but simply said: "This is the matter of our Yunwu County, you don't need to worry about it."
Zuo Longlin sneered and said no more.
After a while, a maid in blue clothes came out, glanced at Zhang Ruochen and Zuo Longlin, and said, "Are you Prince Long Lin of Fire Dragon Commandery and Ninth Prince of Yunwu Commandery?"
"Exactly!" Zuo Longlin and Zhang Ruochen said at the same time.
"Princess Thirteen has agreed to meet you, you can come in!" the maid said proudly.
Zuo Longlin and Zhang Ruochen followed at the same time.
After passing through the corridors, we came to a garden planted with countless medicinal flowers, and in the center of the garden was a lake.
At this moment, a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting in a pavilion in the middle of the lake. When she saw Zuo Longlin and Zhang Ruochen standing on the shore, she smiled and said, "If either of you can reach the center of the lake first, This princess will take a look at his gift first."
Zuo Longlin stared at Zhang Ruochen, with a confident smile in his eyes.
Speed is his strong point. It would be strange if he couldn't even match a warrior at the top of Xuanji Realm.
"Uh-huh!"
Zuo Longlin leapt up from the shore and landed on a canoe in the lake.
Driven by the true energy, the wooden boat immediately moved towards the pavilion in the lake at a very fast speed, like a dragon breaking through the waves.
Even if your cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of Xuanji Realm, you cannot walk on water and must borrow foreign objects.
At the beginning, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan walked on the water in the Half-Saint Holy Intent. It was not real water, but the Semi-Saint's spiritual will used to temper the spiritual power of warriors.
In the past, Zhang Ruochen would not have been able to walk on water.
But after cultivating into the Wind-controlling Flying Dragon Shadow, Zhang Ruochen could cross the lake by walking on water without the help of external objects.
After cultivating the Flying Dragon Shadow to a small level, you can span a mile in nine steps.
Now, Zhang Ruochen is only two hundred meters away from the Huxin Pavilion.
"call out!"
Zhang Ruochen fully activated the zhenqi in his body and poured it into his legs. His body rushed out quickly and turned into an arc. He crossed more than 20 meters in just one step.
After landing on the lake, Zhang Ruochen stepped lightly on the water with his soles, catching the wind on the lake, and flew up again.
The second step was more than thirty meters away, the third step was more than forty meters...
When Zhang Ruochen took the third step, he completely surpassed Zuo Longlin and flew to the front.
Zuo Longlin stood on the wooden boat and stared at Zhang Ruochen flying on the lake. He was stunned, "He... he can actually walk on water. How... is it possible..."
Even the girl in the lake pavilion was stunned, staring at the heroic figure of the young man flying across the lake, and really couldn't figure out how he did it?
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen took the fifth step, and his body fell gently outside the lake pavilion like a leaf: "Your Highness, this is my gift to you!"
Later, Zuo Longlin also arrived at the shore, presented the glazed box in his hands with both hands, and said: "Princess Princess, please accept my gift."
The girl standing in the pavilion blinked her eyes gently and showed a strange smile.
