"Not getting drunk after drinking a thousand cups?!"
Emperor Zhao Bing immediately rushed down from his seat excitedly and grabbed Zhou Yi's hand. Such an intimate gesture surprised Wu Tianxia and Bu Lingchen who were present.
In his impression, this mature, steady, strategic, and patient Ninth Prince had never been so happy and carried away.
Emperor Zhao Bing walked forward quickly and grasped Zhou Yi's outstretched hand. The two palms clasped together powerfully, and at that moment, the two people present seemed to feel the fiery soul in each other's chest through the warmth of their palms.
"Since we parted in the capital, I have missed you so much. I thought you would come to see me first when you returned to the Middle-earth. I even prepared a banquet, but who would have thought that you would go to Jiangnan first."
"Haha!" Zhou Yi chuckled twice and said, "That's my fault, please forgive me! Let's get back to the point. The emperor asked you to go out to sea and slay the dragon, which is not too difficult now!"
"Oh?" Zhao Dibing's eyes lit up slightly: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Yi looked around the room and said leisurely, "Now in the Divine Marquis's Mansion, we have Master Wu and his Heavenly Dao Battle Box, Master Bu and his peerless sword, Master Nie and his Snow Drinking Mad Blade, plus my Butterfly Love Flower, so it shouldn't be difficult to put together a dragon-slaying formation, right?"
"This is a great opportunity, but I don't know..." Zhao Dibing suddenly turned around and faced the three divine detectives in the Divine Marquis's mansion, and said thoughtfully: "Would the three divine detectives be willing to lend a helping hand to me?"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Wu Tianxia stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty has given the order, and the three of us should obey it."
"That's great..." Emperor Bing of Zhao was just about to raise his hand to express his gratitude when suddenly, a sudden voice came from outside the door, and a servant in coarse clothes walked in quickly.
"Report! The Fourth Prince is outside the palace asking for an audience!"
"What?" Wu Tianxia was very surprised. The Shenhou Mansion had never had any connection with the 'famous' Fourth Prince. Why would he come to visit so late at night
Nie Han's face was gloomy, and he whispered, "I'm afraid the person who came here has bad intentions!"
Wu Tianxia hesitated for a moment, then calmed down and said in a clear voice: "Our Shenhou Mansion is upright and upright, and has never been involved in party disputes. What is there to worry about? Please ask the Ninth Prince and Brother Qianbei to leave for a while."
When Zhao Dibing and Zhou Yi hid in the backyard, Wu Tianxia turned to the servant in front of him and said, "Why don't you go and invite the Fourth Prince in."
A moment later, Zhao Yanhao strode into the main hall of the Shenhou Mansion. Wu Tianxia and others hurriedly stood up to greet him. After a round of greetings, everyone sat down one after another.
Wu Tianxia was the first to ask, "I wonder why the Ninth Prince came to my Divine Marquis Mansion so late at night?"
Zhao Yanhao smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Divine Marquis Mansion is the best government in the world. The four famous detectives in the mansion are all loyal ministers and heroes. I have long wanted to visit them. Unfortunately, I have been burdened with worldly affairs and have not had the opportunity to visit the divine detectives until today. I am really sorry."
"Your Highness, you are too kind." Nie Han clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Your Highness is known as a wise king, so he is naturally busy with many things. How can a mere Divine Marquis Mansion be worthy of your attention?"
“Alas!” Zhao Yanhao waved his hand and said, “Mr. Nie San, that’s too polite! But I came here today because I do have something important to do with the Divine Constables.”
Wu Tianxia said solemnly: "Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yanhao picked up the tea on the table with his left hand and waved his right hand gently. A personal eunuch behind him quickly stepped forward and said in a serious manner: "In compliance with the order of His Majesty, the three divine detectives Wu Tianxia, Nie Han, and Bu Lingchen of the Divine Marquis Mansion are ordered to assist the Fourth Prince Zhao Yanhao in the reconstruction of the Heavenly Prison from today onwards. There must be no mistakes."
"This..." Just as the eunuch finished speaking, Nie Han's expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Do we really need to do something as trivial as repairing the prison?"
"Alas!" Zhao Yanhao slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said meaningfully: "What Third Master Nie said is not right, right? We are all working for our father, so how can there be a distinction between small and big things? Could it be that Third Master Nie is not happy with this and wants to disobey his order?"
"I dare not."
Seeing this, Bu Lingchen on the side said coldly: "But we have already agreed to follow the Ninth Prince to go out to sea to slay the dragon, how can we..."
"Oh?" Zhao Yanhao's eyes flickered, and he said sternly, "Could it be that in the eyes of Second Master Bu, the emperor's oral order is not as good as the emperor's decree?"
"this... ... ."
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Wu Tianxia immediately stood up from his seat, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "My two junior brothers are rough men, please forgive me if I have offended you. Your Majesty has given an order, and the Divine Marquisate will obey it. Tomorrow morning, my three brothers will go to the Heavenly Prison to perform their duties, and we dare not neglect it."
"Okay!" Zhao Yanhao jumped up from his seat, walked to Wu Tianxia, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "Then tomorrow morning, I will be waiting for the three great detectives to come! It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye!"
When Zhao Yanhao left the Shenhou Mansion, Zhao Dibing and Zhou Yi immediately walked out from the back hall with solemn expressions on their faces.
Tang Shangxin yelled first, "Isn't this obviously not letting the three brothers help Emperor Bing? Repairing the Heavenly Prison, what on earth is this guy up to?"
"Little Junior Sister, don't worry!" Wu Tianxia comforted her, "No matter what, he has His Majesty's order, and our Divine Marquisate can only obey. As for the Ninth Prince, I'm really sorry about the dragon slaying!"
Emperor Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's alright, Brother Wu. Emperor Zhao knows this matter well. You and I don't need to explain. The only solution now is to find more reliable experts and magic weapons. Do you have any candidates?"
Nie Han said, "The world may seem big, but there are not many possible candidates. To deal with a beast like the blue dragon, one must have outstanding martial arts skills. Here, there is also a magic weapon that can be compared to it. Looking at the martial arts world, I am afraid that there are not many people left, right?"
"First of all, among the masters in the martial arts world who hold magical weapons, the only ones who are capable of slaying dragons are the four people here. There are probably the Moon in the Well in the hands of Song Wen, the Lingnan Heavenly Sword; the Heavenly Sword in the hands of Guo Nuan, the Emei female hero; the Longevity Sword in the hands of Su Haoran, the Dugu Nine Swords; the Dragon Slaying Sword, the Deer Cutting Sword, the Blood Sword, the Heavenly Soldier, and the Broken Dream in the hands of the Five Heavenly Swords - Wan Gu Chang Kong! And..."
"Wait!" When listening to Nie Han's detailed account of the martial arts masters holding magical weapons in the martial arts world, Zhou Yi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Where is the Emperor's Sword?"
"Of course the Emperor's Sword is locked deep inside the Imperial Palace of the Great Song Dynasty..." Tang Xinxin stared at Zhou Yi's increasingly fiery eyes, and couldn't help but think of some terrible idea. He asked tentatively, "You don't want to steal the Emperor's Sword, do you?"
"How difficult is this? I am a fugitive who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Is there anything I dare not do? Emperor Bing, you just need to tell me whether you want to do it or not?"
Facing Zhou Yi's extremely passionate gaze, Emperor Zhao Bing's eyes became more and more determined. After a long while, he made up his mind and nodded vigorously.
"I will take the lead!" (To be continued)
