I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 267: A common man works too fast and cannot sleep at night!
Hejian State, Bohai County, Zhuo County, Yan State, Shanggu County, and Yuyang County.

In the following days, Liu Ju toured several counties and kingdoms in the northeast direction, but still gained nothing, and Guo Xuanzi never gave any guidance.

This made Liu Ju a little confused and he didn't understand what Guo Xuanzi was doing.

It is certainly fun to travel around without any burden, but his birthday is getting closer and closer, and he has basically toured the lands of Yan and Zhao. If he can't find "Lady Gouyi", his "good luck" will be over. Aren't Guo Xuanzi and the people behind the scenes in a hurry at all?

Or have these people realized that they were being outmaneuvered and decided not to implement the plan?

Or was it that after what he experienced in Guangchuan State last time, Guo Xuanzi held a grudge and decided to live out his life in solitude with the reputation of "Gu Luan Sha"?
Or maybe, these people are playing hard to get, dragging out time to the very last moment, planning to pull out "Lady Gouyi" when they are in a hurry to pee and throw coins in randomly, so that they can be grateful and have no time to think about anything else, thus reducing some unnecessary trouble?
With this thought in mind.

Liu Ju, who had not looked for Guo Xuanzi for a long time since leaving Guangchuan State, finally found her again and asked tentatively:
"Lord Guo, we have already toured Yuyang County. If we continue to head northeast, we will completely leave the land of Yanzhao and head towards Liaodong. Will we be able to find my lucky star?"

After leaving Yuyang County and heading northeast, the next destinations are the even more vast Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County and Liaodong County.

After passing Liaodong County, you will directly enter Wiman Joseon.

If this continues, Liu Ju feels that he can go on a diplomatic mission to Wiman Joseon, try to implement the "one country, two governments" system in Wiman Joseon, and then return to the court...

"What a coincidence that Your Highness came here. I was just about to go look for Your Highness."

Guo Xuanzi still had that half-dead tone and said lightly,

"I also suggest that Your Highness start to turn back now. In fact, along the way, I once vaguely saw some strange auras, but the auras were extremely weak and almost disappeared in an instant. I couldn't be sure at that time, so I didn't mention it to Your Highness."

"Where?"

Liu Ju followed up with the question.

"I think it's better not to say it out loud yet, so as to avoid making assumptions when you are uncertain and miss out on the real lucky star."

Guo Xuanzi shook his head slightly and said ambiguously,

"Let's go back first. If that aura appears again, I will explain it to Your Highness after I see it clearly."

"But Lord Guo, my birthday is less than a month away. What should I do if I still can't find a lucky star?"

Liu Ju frowned again and asked.

Guo Xuanzi's tone remained unchanged:
"If I haven't found this lucky star after my birthday... then my cultivation is not enough and I can't help Your Highness resolve this lonely phoenix evil. I will return to the capital to apologize to Your Majesty."

"What about me? What should I do?"

"Everyone has their own destiny, which is determined by God. Please forgive me for being unable to do anything about it."

Guo Xuanzi sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes like an old monk in meditation.

"Okay, okay, that's how you play, eh? Just wait until we return to Beijing, my father will never let you go!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ju immediately became angry, and in a fit of rage, he uttered some harsh words and left without looking back.

After Liu Ju walked away.

Guo Xuanzi slightly opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Ju's back, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"hehe."

"This reckless young man is finally getting anxious..."

"You have never been anxious or slow, and you have never come to ask me. I thought you didn't take the Lonely Luan Demon seriously at all... After all, it is a matter concerning you. You finally can't hold your temper, right?"

"You deserve it! You are too young to fight with me!"

"You are already getting anxious now. Just bear with it for a while. In the last few days of your birthday, when you are extremely anxious, the lucky star will appear. I am not afraid that he will not be able to conquer you in one fell swoop..."

At this moment, Guo Xuanzi felt indescribably comfortable in his heart, and had a sense of pleasure of revenge.

She had had enough these days.

Even Emperor Liu Che had been very polite to her before, but she happened to meet the unruly Crown Prince Liu Ju, who not only ignored her completely along the way, but also dared to snatch the thank-you gift from Prince Guangchuan!
Guo Xuanzi made an estimate.

The carts of thank-you gifts sent by Prince Guangchuan were all high-end cloth, jade, and gold jewelry, roughly estimated to be worth at least hundreds of thousands of coins. This bandit prince actually took them all away, not even leaving her a single thread!

What a bastard!

What a robber!

It is simply unbearable!

……

the other side.

"Since I've behaved like this, these people should definitely take some action, right?"

After walking away, the anger and anxiety on Liu Ju's face quietly disappeared, and he pondered in his heart.

He happened to see Wei Kang coming towards him, and he asked softly:
"Cousin, have you discovered anything recently?" "No..."

Wei Kang shook his head slightly, looking helpless.

Following Liu Ju's orders, he had been leading people to secretly follow Guo Xuanzi and the servants who accompanied him since the day they set out.

But until now he has not found anything unusual, and has gained nothing at all. He even feels a little frustrated.

"We are going to prepare to return. The closer it is to my birthday, the more likely she will make a move. Cousin, don't let your guard down."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as she makes any unusual moves, I will never make any mistakes."

……

With the experience gained on the way here, the return journey will only be easier.

Yuyang County - Shanggu County - Yan State - Zhuo County - Bohai County...

These counties and kingdoms were not in a straight line, but were crowded together with Yan State as the center. Each county and kingdom bordered at least two or three other counties and kingdoms, and it would not take a few days to walk through them all.

When he was in Yan State, Liu Ju also met his third brother, King Liu Dan of Yan.

Liu Dan was still a little kid with a runny nose. When he met Liu Ju, he showed the proper etiquette, but he was a little bit unfamiliar...

But this is understandable. Liu Dan was named King of Yan and came to the country when he was still a baby. I'm afraid he didn't even remember what Chang'an looked like, let alone his elder brother whom he had never met before.

According to historical records, before the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident.

In fact, Liu Dan did not expect to ascend the throne, and was always content to be a vassal king.

After the Witchcraft Incident, the eldest brother Liu Ju died, and the second brother Liu Hong died early. According to the order of rank, it should naturally be his turn.

However, Emperor Liu Che delayed appointing a crown prince until the year before his death, when he suddenly appointed his youngest prince, Liu Fuling, as the heir.

It was at this time that Liu Dan began to suspect that the new emperor's accession to the throne was manipulated by the court ministers, and he came up with the idea of ​​"I want to fight for my reputation, not to prove that I am great, but to tell everyone that I must get back what I lost." After Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne, he began his own conspiracies for rebellion, until he hanged himself to apologize.

Of course, this is just a record in history books.

If he was also involved in the Witchcraft and Poisoning Incident, that would be a different matter.

But at least for now, Liu Ju did not feel any malice from him, because until he completely left Yan State, "Lady Gouyi" did not appear...

Time passes day by day.

Liu Ju’s birthday is getting closer and closer.

With only three days left, Liu Ju once again arrived at Hejian State.

When passing through Hejian State before, Liu Ju had already met Liu Shou, the current Marquis King of Hejian State.

Liu Shou was not very old, even one year younger than Liu Ju, but in terms of seniority, Liu Ju was Liu Shou's grandfather... because Liu Shou's great-grandfather, Liu De, King of Hejian, one of the Thirteen Kings of Han Jing, was a half-brother of the same generation as Liu Che. From Liu De to now, the King of Hejian has reached the fourth generation.

The difference in generations is so huge, we can only blame Liu Che himself for having a son too late.

As a result, most of the Liu family's peers were much older than Liu Ju. The previous Prince of Lu and Prince of Guangchuan were both at least one generation older than him. Some of his cousins' sons were older than Liu Ju...

And that night he was once again entertained by his good grandson Liu Shou and stayed in the county town.

Guo Xuanzi finally sent a servant to deliver the message:
"Your Highness, the Divine Lord ordered this servant to come and tell you that she finally saw that faint aura again, in the Hejian Kingdom area."

Finally, something is happening!
Liu Ju immediately became excited after hearing this.

After tonight, there will only be two days left until his birthday. These people's plans are so thorough and precise, and they have set the time limit to such an extreme!
If he hadn't known that Gu Luan Sha was fake, then "Lady Gou Yi" would also be fake.

I'm afraid that due to the manipulation of these people, he has been so anxious that he has been losing sleep all night in recent days?

it is good!
very good!
These people are very capable. They are worthy of being the masters who could deceive Liu Che in history and even be suspected of stealing the country by borrowing seeds!
"If this is true, take me to see the Lord of God!"

Liu Ju immediately stood up and said to the servant.

The servant looked embarrassed and apologized hesitantly:
"Your Highness, please be patient. The Lord of Gods is old and weak, and he has already gone to bed early. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to meet... But the Lord of Gods has asked me to tell Your Highness that she will read the qi for Your Highness again tomorrow morning, and will definitely not delay Your Highness's important event."

Still playing hard to get?

Liu Ju even had reason to suspect that Guo Xuanzi came to tell him the news now in order to stabilize him in Hejian State first, and that "Lady Gouyi" would wait until the last few hours of his birthday to appear.

The sense of urgency and pressure created in this way can achieve the greatest effect, and Liu Che and he will be more grateful to these people...

These people know how to keep people in suspense!
Most people, when faced with this kind of thing, would probably be unable to help but cry out "This ordinary man is working too fast and cannot sleep at night."

Unfortunately... except for time travelers like Liu Ju who have already accepted the spoilers.
