Chapter 738: The Secret Realm of Great Zhou
Ying'er handed the note left by Ji Wushuang to Cui Yu. Cui Yu stretched out his hand to take the note, looked at it, sneered, and burned the note to ashes.
He was not a fool, so how could he take Ji Wushuang's words to heart?
Ji Wushuang is now kicked out by Emperor Zhou and can no longer pose a threat to the Shen family.
"It's ridiculous." Cui Yu sneered and continued to huddle on the stool to read. For him, the wind and rain outside were not very important.
Cui Yu and Duke Xi Guo submitted letters at the same time, voluntarily giving up the inheritance of the title, causing an uproar in the court.
Emperor Zhou looked at the two documents in his hands and finally understood why the gods turned their backs on Ji Wuxin at the critical moment.
"What courage! What a method! Shen Qi can never continue to live, the lonely king will let him die in the tomb of the ancient gods." Zhou Tianzi's eyes were full of coldness.
A person like Cui Yu who is good at planning is too much of a threat.
The sacrifices continued, and finally the half-month-long sacrificial activities stopped, and the edict regarding the appointment of the new Duke has been issued again.
The gods inherited the Xiguo Palace, while Shen Zhuliu inherited the Rongguo Palace.
When Cui Yu heard the edict, he was slightly surprised. It was obviously the gods who should inherit the Rongguo Duke's palace. Why were the two parties reversed?
After thanking Heaven for his kindness, the chamberlain came to Cui Yu and bowed respectfully to Cui Yu: "Sir, the Emperor has invited you."
Cui Yu nodded upon hearing this, knowing that the real test was coming. Then he nodded to the gods and Jin Huairou, patted Shen Zhuliu on the head, and followed the chamberlain to the inner palace.
Lutai
Emperor Zhou sat on the high platform with a gloomy expression, his eyes looking at the distant scenery without any words.
"What is the king thinking about?" Bao Si sat behind Emperor Zhou, gently squeezing Emperor Zhou's shoulders.
"Dazhou has become the laughing stock of the princes in the world, and the lonely king has also become the laughing stock of the princes of the world. It is simply ridiculous. The last majesty of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was lost in my hands, and the lonely king must restore the situation at all costs. One year In time, the lonely king will definitely capture that ancient tomb. Only by capturing that ancient tomb can the lonely king have a chance to turn the tide." Emperor Zhou's voice was full of coldness.
Just as he was talking, he saw a figure appear, and Cui Yu appeared at the palace gate in the distance.
The two stood on a high building, looking down at Cui Yu from a distance, as if looking at an insignificant ant.
"Why did the king summon Shenqi?" Bao Si asked in surprise.
Of course she knew that what was in front of her was not Shen Qi at all, but Cui Yu, who was causing headaches to countless people.
"If you want to break through the underground palace, the lonely king needs someone to help. Now there is a terrifying existence in the underground palace, and he needs this person to erase that terrifying existence. Moreover, the threat of Shenqi is too great. If there is a chance to keep this person, In the underground palace, the lonely king will never show mercy." Emperor Zhou said with a smile.
Although Emperor Zhou was smiling, what he said made Bao Si shudder.
When Cui Yu came to the pavilion, Bao Si had disappeared. Only Emperor Zhou was sitting at the top, seemingly thinking about something.
"Meet your Majesty." Cui Yu bowed and saluted.
Emperor Zhou turned his head and glanced at Cui Yu, then continued to lower his head and correct the memorial: "You are very courageous. You can give up the position of a dignified prince at any time. This is the first time that the lonely king has met such a person who is not greedy for power. "
"Glory and wealth are like passing clouds, but this is not my ambition." Cui Yu replied without humility.
Emperor Zhou smiled when he heard this: "I'm calling you here this time. The lonely king wants to invite you to do something for the lonely king. I wonder if you can agree?"
After hearing what Emperor Zhou said, Cui Yu smiled and said, "What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty excavated an ancient tomb. Five thousand years later, the details have still not been discovered. Even King Wen and King Wu were attacked by terrifying and strange forces, and died young. Emperor Zhou looked at Cui Yu with his eyes: "In the past few years, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty finally made breakthrough progress in digging ancient tombs. However, there is still a terrifying and strange thing blocking the way. The lonely king wants to invite you to take action to remove that strange thing." Kill. As for the reward, the lonely king allows you to follow us to explore the ancient tomb. As for the harvest in the ancient tomb in the future, it all depends on your own ability and chance."
He was afraid that Cui Yu would not agree, so he directly made a heavy promise.
After all, when it comes to large tombs from the ancient times, nothing is simple.
Although he could force Cui Yu to enter, forcing him would not be safe after all. If the other party had other ideas and did something secretly, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?
He was the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and he had the most rigorous grasp of people's hearts. How could he leave such a flaw?
Cui Yu's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he looked at Emperor Zhou with his eyes. He was a sensible person.
As the Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Zhou seems to be talking in a negotiating tone, but if he dares to refuse...
Cui Yu didn't want to cause more trouble, and now that he had cultivated a golden body, he thought it would be a good idea to go to the secret realm to have a look.
A tomb with three innate spiritual treasures buried with it must be of great importance. It is truly the tomb of a great figure in the prehistoric world.
How could Cui Yu not be interested in graves?
Seeing Cui Yu agreeing wisely, Emperor Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, we will set off tomorrow. You can go back and explain today."
Cui Yu nodded. After exiting the palace, he did not return to Shen's house. Instead, he came to the small courtyard where Tang Zhou lived in seclusion and passed the news to Tang Zhou.
"Entering the secret realm tomorrow? So soon? It seems that Emperor Zhou is impatient." Tang Zhou had a look of seriousness in his eyes after hearing Cui Yu's words.
"Do you want me to take you in?" Cui Yu asked with a smile.
"No need." Tang Zhou shook his head: "Of course I have a way to get in. As long as you can provide me with the coordinates, I can sneak in secretly."
As Tang Zhou spoke, he took out a jade tablet from his sleeve: "There is a ray of my soul in it. As long as you throw it outside the tomb, I can lock the position."
Tang Zhou was a proud man, a very proud man!
After hearing what Tang Zhou said, Cui Yu did not refuse, but turned and left.
After returning to the god's house, Cui Yu invited the god to come, and the two of them sat under the big tree in the yard and drank tea.
"Tomorrow I will enter the ancestral secret land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. From now on, the God's family will be completely under your care, and I will gradually disappear from the world." Cui Yu's voice was calm.
After hearing Cui Yu's words, the spirit couldn't help but be startled. He didn't know why but felt a sense of confusion in his heart, as if he had lost his backbone and backer.
"The Great Zhou is extremely dangerous. Once you go to the Ten Deaths and No Life, can you not go?" The god looked at Cui Yu worriedly.
"It's a crisis but also a blessing. Besides, I don't say that I am invincible in this world, but I will never be afraid of anyone." Cui Yu said with a smile: "Wait for my good news."
Cui Yu took the opportunity to arrange everything, and wrote a letter to Runan and Shan, instructing them to wait for his return in Haojing City before closing his clothes and sleeping quietly.
To be honest, he was not generally curious about the tombs of the Zhou royal family.
In the early morning of the next day, Cui Yu just got up and saw Ying'er appearing outside the door carrying a basin: "Master, the people from the court have arrived. They are waiting outside the gate for me to go out."
Cui Yu nodded after hearing this, indicating that he already understood, then washed up slowly and finished breakfast.
The breakfast is very exquisite, even more exquisite than usual, with eighteen pastries.
Jin Huairou led the timid Shen Zhuliu out of the door and stood in front of Cui Yu.
"Hurry up and meet your eldest brother." Jin Huairou scolded.
Shen Zhuliu's face was full of guilt, and he bowed to Cui Yu in a panic: "I've met my eldest brother."
Seeing the careless Shen Zhuliu, Cui Yu didn't blame him. He was just a child.
"Don't be too polite, let's sit down and have breakfast together." Cui Yu said.
The mother and son sat down. Jin Huairou looked at Cui Yu and peeled an egg for Cui Yu: "If you go to the secret place of the royal family, how should the Rongguo Palace develop?"
In the past, Jin Huairou thought that he could support the Duke of Rong's government, but after seeing the fighting between Cui Yu and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, Jin Huairou was really frightened by the way he could turn his hands into clouds and rain.
She felt that she was far behind!
Cui Yu took a sip of porridge after hearing this, and then said: "Just keep running the business. As long as I don't die, the Shen family will remain standing. If I die in the secret realm, you will hand over the silk business and take it with you." If you follow Zhuliu and the silk formula and fly away incognito, you don't want to take the position of Duke Rong."
When Jin Huairou heard this, his face turned pale with fright. He had thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't say them out.
After breakfast, Cui Yu stood up and walked out the door. When passing by the garden, he saw Hai Lan waiting.
"Are you really going to Da Zhou's secret realm?" Hai Lan stared at Cui Yu. She had waited here specifically to dissuade him.
"I have to go." Cui Yu replied: "If I don't go, the Shen family will be in even greater trouble."
"I'll go with you." Hai Lan stared at Cui Yu with his eyes.
Cui Yu shook his head when he heard this: "It's not necessary. Your cultivation is too poor. If you go there, you will die. Don't worry, I will come back safely!"
Cui Yu patted Hai Lan on the shoulder and walked away.
Looking at Cui Yu's back, Hailan's lips moved, but he did not continue to speak after all.
When Cui Yu left the mansion, he saw royal guards holding a carriage and standing in front of the gate with respectful expressions.
"I've seen you, sir." After seeing Cui Yu, the guard quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Cui Yu nodded, got on the carriage directly, and then drove the carriage towards the palace.
All the way to the terrace, the guard said respectfully: "Your Majesty has an order. Please wait under the deer terrace."
Cui Yu nodded when he heard this, and the guard drove away in the carriage.
Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps and a group of people descended from the deer platform.
The leader was none other than Emperor Zhou.
Behind Emperor Zhou, Cui Yu saw several acquaintances.
Ji Wuxin! Zhihu!
and a dozen middle-aged men who looked quite young.
"Let's go." Emperor Zhou said, and then he walked around Lutai. When he arrived at Lutai, he saw a strong man from the royal family knocking on the floor tiles. There was only a click sound, and then the ground shook. The ground on the platform slowly sank, and a passage about ten feet wide appeared.
Who would have thought that the secret realm of the Zhou royal family was actually under Lutai?
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty established Lutai not for enjoyment, but to suppress the secrets of the royal family.
Emperor Zhou took the lead, followed by the royal family.
Zhihu passed by Cui Yu, blinked at Cui Yu, and walked in after him.
Ji Wuxin, on the other hand, passed by Cui Yu and stared at Cui Yu with his eyes: "Good tricks, I learned a lesson!"
"I didn't expect that you would have a chance to escape." Cui Yu stared at Ji Wuxin. He was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. It was a joke.
"Do you know? My talent is the best among the royal family. How can I be missing from exploring the secret realm of the royal family and accepting the inheritance in the secret realm?" Ji Wuxin smiled coldly at Cui Yu:
"I would like to thank you for your teaching this time. I will definitely thank you deeply in the future."
After speaking, Ji Wuxin left quickly, leaving Cui Yu standing there, looking at Ji Wuxin's back, with a cold light in his eyes: "After all, this is an extraordinary world. Ji Wuxin's martial arts talent is extraordinary, and he will definitely It is highly used by the Zhou royal family. If there are any good treasures in this secret territory, they will definitely be given to Ji Wuxin first."
"I'm just afraid that you won't have a chance to get out of the secret realm." Cui Yu dropped a jade pendant from his sleeve into the gap between the floor tiles, and followed him in expressionlessly.
The passage is deep, and as it goes deeper, it gets wider.
There are no torches in the passage, only luminous pearls inlaid, illuminating the palace with brilliant lights.
Zhihu didn't know when he fell behind everyone and walked at the back.
Seeing Cui Yu following him, he asked quietly: "Why are you here?"
"I don't want to come either, but I have to come." Cui Yu narrowed his eyes: "Didn't I say that the secret realm of the Zhou royal family is extremely dangerous? Why are you here?"
Zhihu smiled bitterly: "I don't want to come either, but because of the treasure that breaks the limit of power, I offended that young prince..."
Looking at Zhihu, Cui Yu felt a little different in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party was still implicated by him.
"It's a disaster for both of us this time. I'm taken care of by the young prince, and you're taken care of by Emperor Zhou. If you have a chance, hurry up and escape. This is our perfect place. In case someone does something evil to us. , we will die here inexplicably." Zhihu said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, are you looking down on me too much? I'm not that easy to kill." Cui Yu whispered.
"No matter how strong they are, have you seen those twelve royal family members? They are all members of the royal family's bloodline. They possess the bloodline combat power of the Golden Imperial Realm. Now that the bloodline is about to decline, I want to go to the secret realm to seek to delay the decline of the bloodline. No matter how powerful you are, you are of no use against the combat power of the twelve Golden Emperors." Zhihu said with a wry smile.
Hearing Zhihu's words, Cui Yu was startled and looked at the people from the Zhou royal family in front. Unexpectedly, twelve bloodline warriors of the Jinzhi realm were dispatched. The royal family's background was indeed profound.
