It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 75 Forget about digging to death

On the way to Canghai City, they saw many refugees fleeing.

After a little inquiry, I found out what happened to Canghai. It turned out that it happened one night more than ten days ago.

After the fishermen who lived by the sea went out to sea, they realized that a big storm seemed to be brewing in the entire sea. Seabirds were flying in the sky, and there were many undercurrents and schools of fish scurrying around under the sea. Experience Seasoned boaters knew a wave was coming.

But what I didn't expect was that the waves would actually rise so high. The wave wall of more than ten meters came down, not only directly destroying the small fishing village, but also rushing into Canghai City, causing the people in the city to have to flee. , because the entire Canghai City was almost submerged by the sea water.

Hearing the situation ahead, several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Is there anyone in the Hidden Dragon Guard who is good at water?" Jiang Simian asked.

Shang Han replied hesitantly: "There are many people in the Hidden Dragon Guard who are good at water, but I'm afraid there is no one who can go into such a deep sea."

"The thing we are looking for is probably in the sea, but..." Jiang Simian was confused. If this was the case, how was the token placed in the deep sea? Is it possible that the great warlock can control water, but the rest of us are just fooling around?

"Leave this to me, wait for me." While everyone was looking sad, Ye Cheng walked towards a group of women who were sitting and resting with a bag of melon seeds that they used for entertainment on the road.

We soon became very happy chatting with them.

"I always thought that Lao Liu was best at pretending, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be gossip," Shang Han sighed.

Moyou nodded, such a proper friend of women.

After a while, Ye Cheng, who was thirsty from chatting, finally came back with unfinished business.

"Guess what I found out?" Ye Cheng said with a proud look on his face.

Don’t worry, “Whose daughter-in-law stole from a man and ran away?”

Shang Han asked, "A seventy-year-old woman is pregnant with a pearl?"

"..."

Ye Cheng's face was twisted in anger, "As the commanders of the Hidden Dragon Guard, you all pay attention to the news every day."

Then he turned to Jiang Simian and asked for credit: "Sister Mian, I heard something. It is said that the flood washed out a pearl in Canghai City."

Orb?

Jiang Simian raised his head. It seemed that this was the token of water.

"Where is the orb now?" Jiang Simian asked.

"Oh, I heard that the Lord of Canghai City took the orb to the palace to face the saint. It should have been entered into the treasury of Ruchuan Kingdom by now," Ye Cheng said.

"It shouldn't be, he shouldn't be able to pick it up," Jiang Simian muttered.

After hearing her thoughts, Ye Cheng said: "It is said that the city lord used a water tank to carry the sea water with the orb."

Jiang Simian nodded, which was understandable. It was probably that the token had been floating in the water, so the city lord used the water tank to take it away.

It is unknown whether the city lord did this by coincidence or on purpose.

But what is important now is how to enter the Rukawa Kingdom's treasury to take out this orb.

"How about we stop letting the Lord fight with him? Whoever wins the treasure will get it?" Ye Cheng thought he had come up with a good idea, but everyone turned their backs on him.

"Do you think my lord is still a prince? Instigating the two monarchs to fight, and asking you whether you are embarrassed or not without saying who won or lost," Mo You said angrily.

Only then did Ye Cheng feel that there was indeed something wrong. “Sister Mian, do you have any good ideas?”

Jiang Simian sat under the tree and leaned back, "I can't help it."

What did Shang Han think of at this time, "The relationship between the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Ruchuan has always been very good. Why don't we ask the fifth prince to help us contact us?"

Jiang Simian hesitated and thought. She really didn't want to owe the fifth prince too many favors, especially since she had already received a lot of benefits in the Kingdom of Jin, whether it was status or treasure.

As a human being, you can't be so shameless as to disturb others every other month. If word of this spreads, how can you have the shame to slap others in the face in the future?

~

Five days later.

The Kingdom of Jin, the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you. I asked you to help us contact Ruchuan Kingdom," Jiang Simian said while eating Jin Kingdom's specialties.

Shangguan Yunchuan watched her eat while refilling her tea at any time, "You eat slowly, I have agreed with you on the Ruchuan Kingdom. I only said that I would take you there to play, but this time you will use my identity as Princess Mianyuan of the Jin Kingdom. identity."

I thought it would be difficult to see Jiang Simian again in the future, but I didn't expect that in just one month, I had helped her twice, once to apply for identity documents, and once to help her enter Ruchuan Country.

Shangguan Yunchuan was very happy to be able to help Shang Jiang Simian.

Jiang Simian turned all his guilt towards Shangguan Yunchuan into appetite and swallowed it in his stomach.

"To be honest, what do you think is the chance of getting the orb from King Ruchuan this time?" Jiang Simian asked after eating and drinking.

Shangguan Yunchuan shook his head and said, "There is almost no hope. You may not know the King of Ruchuan, but he has to deduct every penny from his own mother, the Queen Mother's monthly salary."

"So, trying to dig out the treasure from his hands is simply a fantasy. According to mainland legend, King Rukawa is the reincarnation of Pixiu, and his treasury is his mouth, which can only go in and out."

Jiang Simian was completely speechless, this is really stingy.

"Then we are the princesses and princes of neighboring countries. Even if we are polite, we have to give him something good. If not, I will exchange the same treasures with him," Jiang Simian said.

Shangguan Yunchuan still denied it, "Last time the king of the Ice Country next door went there in person, he didn't even get a drink of hot water. If you take out a valuable treasure, he will only think that what he has in his hand is more valuable."

After listening to Shangguan Yunchuan's description, Jiang Simian felt so moved that he sympathized with the people of Ruchuan Kingdom for three seconds.

"Since he is so stingy, why do we have to prepare gifts?" Jiang Simian asked.

"It's his business to be stingy, but it's a bit disrespectful for us to go there empty-handed," Shangguan Yunchuan said.

I think the reason you can't get anything out of his hands is because you're too polite, Jiang Simian thought to himself.

"Don't worry, I'm going to do it myself this time. Even if he's an iron rooster, he'll have to pluck my feathers, and even he'll have to spit it out for me," Jiang Simian said.

In this regard, Shangguan Yunchuan did not have any high expectations. For him, some ordinary gifts can be exchanged for going to Ruchuan Kingdom with Jiang Simian for so many days. It is a good deal to go on a trip. Incredible.

Soon, under Shangguan Yunchuan's arrangement, Jiang Simian and others followed him into Ruchuan Kingdom again.

This time was obviously different from last time. This time they came directly to the imperial city of Ruchuan Kingdom and were personally received by the monarch.

Yes, you read that right, it was the King of Ruchuan who received him personally, because he felt that those welcome etiquette were too wasteful, so the Rites Department of Ruchuan had no extra people after the minister and minister.
