Chapter 156: The Oath of Heavenly Fire
The Nine Miao Lihe Flower is a world-class flower that can be regenerated by broken limbs. In addition to internal organs and heads, the whole body can be regenerated quickly. This is a magical medicine that even innate is jealous.
If placed elsewhere, this flower will definitely cause great chaos. However, this is the Daxia Imperial City, with 330,000 imperial guards stationed and innate strong men in charge. No one dares to cause trouble here.
Changsun has put a lot of effort into finding this sacred flower. Fortunately, his hard work pays off and he is lucky to get what he wants.
At the auction, the price soared very sharply, from 100,000 gold to more than 300,000 taels, and it was still rising.
The main competitors only have three or four private rooms, with an increase of 10,000 taels and 10,000 taels without any hesitation.
"Five hundred thousand taels"
A cold woman's voice came from a private room, which raised the price by more than 100,000 taels, and immediately calmed down several other private rooms.
When Ning Chen heard this voice, he frowned. He always felt a little familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he was extremely unfamiliar.
In the box that was innately bidding, she was dressed in white and her beautiful face was not at all emotional. It was Mu Chengxue who came from Beimeng Camp.
Mu Chengxue is innate. As long as you don’t want others to recognize her, no one can do it, and Ning Chen can’t do it either.
Another private room participated in the bidding for "550,000 taels", and called out a price that was powerless. This time, it was Ning Chen.
Mu Chengxue didn't speak anymore, and stood quietly in the private room, looking at the direction opposite, her eyes as cold as ice.
At the "Six hundred thousand taels" auction, new competitors appeared again, bidding.
"Seven hundred thousand taels" A private room that was always silent finally opened its mouth and made a big splash.
The price of 700,000 taels is already a sky-high price, and it is impossible for anyone to add it. After the woman at the auction table asked three times, the clock rang the wooden hammer in her hand.
"Mingyue, we have money," Ning Chen chuckled.
Xiao Mingyue was covered in dust, and Liu Ruoxi didn't understand it either. There were very few people in the marquis's mansion who knew about this, and the two around him were not listed here.
Soon, the woman walked in and signaled the maid to go out.
"Mr. Marquis, this is Chiyang Iron and 690,000 taels of gold tickets, because you are the VIP guest of our Qilin Pavilion. Even if you have a starting price of 10,000 taels of this Chiyang Iron, the price of Jiumiao Lihehua is an exception and exempted from the Qilin Pavilion."
"How can you be so embarrassed?"
He said he was embarrassed, but Ning Chen was embarrassed with both hands. He smiled and took the golden ticket and Chiyang Tie.
Qilin Pavilion was polite, and Ning Chen naturally did not hesitate to say good things. The two of them were both talking back and forth, and they had been quarreling each other for a long time. Mingyue and Liu Ruoxi were almost asleep. Ning Chen said goodbye to the woman without feeling satisfied.
It is not difficult for buyers to guess that the Jiumiao Lihe Flower was bought. Not everyone in the world can produce such as astronomical gold. At least, Ning Chen, who is the Marquis of Wu, cannot do it.
Two days later, a letter was sent to the Marquis of Zhiming's Mansion, which was sent by the Third Prince.
Ning Chen left the mansion alone. This time, no one took him to the Yanwu Palace alone.
Xia Yanwu is good at martial arts and good at martial arts. He is the second person among many princes to be crowned as kings, and he is given the title and performs martial arts.
The third prince rarely returns to his residence and usually stays in the military camp. This time, he is invited to his residence.
Ning Chen walked into the Yanwu Palace, and there was only one person and one flower in the lobby.
The man is Xia Yanwu, and the flower is the clutch flower.
"The Marquis of Knowing the Destiny should make a decision," Xia Yanwu said lightly.
"I just want to ask one thing, what agreement did you reach with the Northern Mongolian Military Advisor?" Ning Chen said calmly.
"She helped me ascend the throne, and I took her a safe way to withdraw troops," Xia Yanwu said honestly.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Your Highness, have you ever thought that this might be Fan Lingyue's plan?"
"If Da Xia is in my hands, I will not be afraid of any conspiracy." Xia Yanwu showed his sharpness and said proudly.
"Your Highness is so confident," Ning Chen exclaimed.
Xia Yanwu was unwilling to get into trouble on this issue and said seriously, "Marquis Zhiming, I have shown enough sincerity. I hope you don't let me down."
Ning Chen chuckled, then stretched out two fingers and pointed to the way of heaven, "I, Ning Chen, swear here, I must do my best to help the third prince ascend the throne. If I violate this oath, I will be rewarded with the fire of heaven."
Langlang vows, witnesses from the rising sun, once he enters the ninth rank, he will reach the place closest to the sky. How can he swear easily?
"Ha ha"
In the lobby, a proud laugh came out, and in a blink of an eye, the entire palace spread throughout the palace.
If God has eyes, he will respond. This is something that any warrior above the ninth grade knows. This vow is more reliable than any guarantee.
Today, I know my destiny and the tenth prince is in great danger.
A decision was exchanged for a flower, and a win-win situation also means that the chaos of the two kings fighting for the throne in the Great Xia Dynasty was finally coming to an end.
Lingyan Pavilion, Su Feiyan's hand playing the piano is no longer calm today, and the worst thing happened.
The tenth prince sat at the table, frowned slightly, and the wine in his hand was one after another, never stopping again.
"When you go and invite Mr. Xiyu, there may be a turning point," Su Feiyan suggested.
Xia Mingri nodded slightly, then stood up and left.
On this day, Duke Xiyu left the mansion and went to Taishigong Mansion to discuss the choice of the throne.
Two hours later, Duke Jingwu also arrived, and the three Dukes gathered together and discussed until sunset before leaving.
Duke Jingwu's view has not changed. He supports the third prince and Duke Xiyu supports the tenth prince, but Taishi's opinion has changed.
Mr. Xiyu said explicitly that the third prince and the Northern Mongolian side were very likely to have some involvement. Mr. Jingwu did not believe it and believed it was a North Mongolian military strategy. Mr. Taishi did not say that he believed it or did not believe it. He just said that the Tenth Prince was indeed more suitable.
Among the Three Dukes, two supported the tenth prince, which made the situation one-sided and turbulent again.
Two days later, news broke out in Weiyang Palace that the Empress also preferred the tenth prince to ascend the throne. This time, a stone caused a thousand waves. The Queen, who had never expressed her opinion, spoke up. Wouldn't it mean that the position of the new emperor would soon have a result?
"What's going on?" Next to the Yanwu Palace, there was an inconspicuous courtyard. Xia Yanwu sat on the main seat and said with a serious expression.
Under his seat, there were all powerful ministers from the third prince, including Mingchuan, the commander of the Shenfeng Camp, Jiyu and Zidian Battalion, and seven noble marquises holding great power, a total of ten people.
None of the ten people spoke, and it was clear that this was not about asking them, but about the Marquis of Zhiming at the front.
"It should be a rumor. I entered the palace today, but unfortunately the Queen ordered not to see her." Ning Chen said in confusion.
Xia Yanwu frowned. He wanted to ascend the throne legitimately, but if things were not done, he would not be stingy with other methods.
"Whether it is true or fake, since you can't even enter the palace, it means there are really some problems with the mother's queen," Xia Yanwu said in a deep voice.
Ning Chen was silent for a long time and said slowly, "I'll try again tomorrow."
Xia Yanwu nodded and said, "Everything must be prepared for both things. Marquis of Zhimeng. As Marquis of Wu, you have the right to mobilize a hundred thousand troops. You must be prepared to mobilize troops at any time."
Ning Chen was stunned and said, "Your Highness, please think twice. It is like rebelling if you don't make a reason."
"Who said that there is no reason, the tenth prince intends to rebel, and I am just suppressing the rebellion," Xia Yanwu said coldly.
"Are you too anxious?" Under the seat, a noble Hou said with a little concern.
Another nobleman, Hou, shook his head, "Your Highness's consideration is reasonable. Once the Third Duke and the Empress really issue an edict and make the Tenth Prince the Emperor, it will be really too late. At that time, the reputation is not right, and even if you raise an army, you will have no chance of winning."
"Ah," the other nobles Hou sighed lightly. If possible, no one would want to get to this point.
The three commanders of the imperial guards also frowned. After a moment, Mingchuan spoke and said, "Your Highness, it's still a little inappropriate. The four city gates, two are in the hands of the Empress and the Great Prince, one is in the hands of the Tenth Prince, and the remaining one is in the hands of the Marquis of Nangong. Even if the army arrives, it will not be able to enter in a short time."
"I have made arrangements for this king"
As soon as the words came, Xia Yanwu slapped his palms and the next moment, a young figure walked in, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, Nangong Hou Mansion is always waiting for your orders."
Seeing this, everyone present shrank their eyes. This guy, Nangong Qing!
It turned out that Nangong Hou had already defected to His Highness.
Ning Chen sighed lightly, the 11th Battalion of the Imperial Guards and the Third Prince occupied the Fourth Battalion. If it were not for seeing it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe.
Xia Yanwu's trump card is far beyond his estimate.
Everyone dispersed and left at night. Ning Chen also returned to the Marquis' Mansion of Zhiming, plunged into the study room, but did not leave overnight.
The next day, Ning Chen entered the palace again, but was stopped again in front of Tianyu Palace.
"Mr. Marquis, don't let your subordinates make things difficult for you." An imperial guard soldier said in a difficult face.
"Why didn't the Empress see me?" Ning Chen said in a deep voice.
"The Empress didn't say anything, but said it clearly that if the Marquis enters the palace, they will never meet each other," said the Imperial Army soldiers helplessly.
"Empress, Ning Chen asks for a meeting." Ning Chen took two steps back, his energy sinks into his dantian and shouted.
The sound of seeking to see rumbled, shaking the entire palace. However, in the deep Tianyu Hall, it was still calm and no sound came out.
"Mr. Marquis, please come back," sighed the imperial guards.
"Hmph!" Ning Chen shook his sleeves and left in anger.
The Queen of Zhiming was rejected by the Queen again in front of Tianyu Hall. The news was like crazy and spread quickly between the court. The Queen of Zhiming was born, and the powerful people in the court knew clearly. It was not much different if the Queen taught her step by step. Now, the Queen of Zhiming could not even enter the door of Tianyu Hall. It is conceivable how angry the Queen of the Queen was.
It seems that the incident of Zhiming Hou taking the team completely angered the empress, but this also made everyone see one thing clearly. It turned out that the candidate for the throne in the queen's heart was the tenth prince.
For the sake of the Nine Miao Lihehua, it is understandable that the Marquis of Zhiming stood on the side of the Third Prince. No one could say anything. Such an opportunity would only be once. If you lose it, you will never be able to find it again.
Two days later, the third duke and Changsun met again in the Tianyu Hall. The four of them had a whole day of talk, but no one knew it. However, this time, the Duke Jingwu sent a letter to the third prince. The letter was very simple, with only five words.
"The teacher has done his best"
