A red-robed eunuch hurried past the Prince of Fu's residence.
"Greetings, Chief Steward Gao!"
As they crossed the covered bridge, the maids and servants stopped and bowed.
Gao He ignored him and quickened his pace.
Soon, he arrived at a courtyard deep within the Prince's mansion.
The eunuch in the red robe was named Gao He, and he was the chief steward of the Prince of Fu's mansion.
Prince Fu, Zhou Bosheng, was the nominal ruler of Yuzhou.
......
At this moment, the courtyard pavilion was filled with the aroma of tea.
Prince Fu, Zhou Bosheng, was dressed in casual clothes, his slightly chubby face full of smiles.
Across from him sat a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a plain white long gown, his face upright and unyielding.
His gaze was fixed on the teapot.
Brewing a pot of good tea is all you need.
In the distance, Gao He strode over.
Prince Fu, Zhou Bosheng, immediately turned around and gestured with his finger to shush Gao He, signaling him to be quiet.
Gao He immediately slowed down, and by the time he reached the pavilion, the tea had already been brewed.
Zhou Bosheng accepted the tea with both hands and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Excellent tea!"
A thousand words can ultimately be reduced to just two.
A light seemed to gleam in Zhou Bosheng's eyes.
This cup of tea was so refreshing!
Good water and good tea are secondary.
The important thing is that the person brewing the tea has better skills.
The Tea Sage Chu Jiaoyang integrated the various schools of thought on tea ceremony and compiled the book "The Classic of Tea," which is revered as a classic by the world.
But his achievements go far beyond that.
In his youth, he was full of ambition and traveled far with his sword.
He has quelled bandits and defended cities, and composed three hundred battlefield poems, ensuring that the borderlands are no longer bitterly cold.
In middle age, he hung his sword on the high shelf and returned to the academy.
Although he never took on any disciples, he wrote numerous books.
He possessed a wealth of knowledge and never kept it to himself.
Anyone who wants to learn can learn.
Of course, besides that, Mr. Chu's martial arts skills are also quite strong.
Zhou Bosheng already knew about this.
But now, it's even clearer.
The fact that he, a late-stage tenth-grade Dharma Manifestation cultivator, could not sense any fluctuations in Qi and blood in front of Mr. Chu speaks volumes.
Even the finest tea needs a connoisseur to appreciate it!
Chu Jiaoyang smiled warmly.
"It is my honor to be a kindred spirit to Mr. Chu!"
Zhou Bosheng's smile widened.
It was so comfortable talking to the great figures at the Jixia Academy.
Although everyone's goal is to cooperate, how to facilitate cooperation is an art.
For example, Zhou Bosheng knew that Mr. Chu's visit was for cooperation.
But in the past few days, Mr. Chu hasn't mentioned a single word about cooperation.
Every conversation we have is about tea ceremony.
Through heartfelt conversation, he agreed to cooperate.
"Gao He, is there something you need?"
Perhaps thinking of Gao He, Zhou Bosheng asked casually.
"Greetings, Your Highness! Greetings, Mr. Chu!"
Gao He quickly stepped forward and bowed, then respectfully said:
"Your Highness, Chang'an has caused trouble at the Hejian Wharf..."
Changwen has already led his men out of the city, presumably to negotiate...
Should we send someone over to see if we can win over Chen Xinchen...?
Lingzong offended Chen Xinchen.
Could this be an opportunity?
uncertain!
Zhou Bosheng immediately dismissed the idea.
First of all, although Chen Xinchen is strong, he has offended Long Daoji.
Long Daoji is not only powerful himself, but also has an ally like Li Fan behind him.
Secondly, he did not want to break ties with the Lingzong sect right now.
As for the last point, it's simply because all of this is too much of a coincidence.
Chen Xinchen didn't show up earlier or later, but he did at this exact moment.
Not only that, but they also clashed with the Lingzong sect.
Zhou Bosheng even suspected that this might be a trap set for him.
Chen Xinchen's opposition to the Lingzong Sect was for the sake of a spot to enter the Royal Family's Secret Realm.
If you recruit him yourself, you might be inviting a wolf into your house.
"Your Highness, may I have a word to say?"
Just as Zhou Bosheng was about to refuse, Chu Jiaoyang took over the conversation.
"Mr. Xu, please speak!"
Zhou Bosheng looked at Chu Jiaoyang.
"Your Highness could try sending someone to make contact with Chen Xinchen!"
"Alright, in that case, we'll do as Mr. Chu says!"
Zhou Bosheng agreed without hesitation, and then he looked at Gao He and said, "Gao He, you go there yourself!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Gao He left, only the two of them remained in the pavilion once again.
Zhou Bosheng asked with a smile, "Mr. Chu, I actually have some concerns about recruiting Chen Xinchen."
For example, this could be a trap set for us.
Although the Lingzong Sect Master, Chang Pingtai, is arrogant, he is not without cunning.
He didn't ask Gao He these questions before he left, precisely to demonstrate his trust in Chu Jiaoyang.
Having decided to form an alliance, they naturally wouldn't question their ally.
But the questions that need to be addressed still need to be raised.
He also wanted to hear if there were any hidden details he didn't know about.
After all, Long Daoji and Jixia Academy can be considered allies.
Now that Chu Jiaoyang is asking him to win over Chen Xinchen, isn't he afraid that the overlord of Jiangzhou will be displeased?
"Has Your Highness forgotten that Alliance Leader Li is in Jiangzhou?"
Chu Jiaoyang smiled and asked in return.
"Mr. Chu means that Chen Xinchen might be Li Fan in disguise?"
A thunderbolt struck Zhou Bosheng's mind.
yes!
Why didn't I think of that?
If Li Fan can disguise himself as Bei Ming Tun Qiong, why can't he disguise himself as Chen Xin Chen?
This young man is incredibly brave!
He dared to venture into Yuzhou alone, attempting to attack the Lingzong Sect.
Isn't he afraid that the old monster from the Spirit Sect will personally take action?
Yes, but not entirely.
Chen Xinchen could be Chen Xinchen, Li Fan, or anyone else.
As for the answer, we'll only know when it's revealed.
However, winning him over would certainly not be a bad thing.
This at least proves that the prince and we did not reach a cooperation agreement.
After all, from any perspective, the prince had no reason to doubt that Chen Xinchen was not Chen Xinchen!
"Brilliant!"
Zhou Bosheng's eyes lit up; these words truly resonated with him.
This time, there are many people eyeing the spots in the Royal Family's Secret Realm competition.
Leaving aside the local Lingzong sect, the same applies to the four major families of Tiandu.
Although the little girl hadn't come for a few days, Zhou Bosheng didn't believe that the four major families had given up so easily.
Although he might offend the Spirit Sect by trying to win over Chen Xinchen himself.
However, this move could also clear them of suspicion of cooperating with the Jixia Academy.
......
Tianyu City, Qinglong Garden.
A beautiful figure stood before a pond in the garden.
A handful of fish food was sprinkled down from the clear eastern sky, causing a ripple in the pond.
One by one, koi carp leaped out of the water, vying for the food.
"Miss, my brother is here!"
Just then, Yan Hong jogged forward.
"Let him come over!"
The clear eastern sky clapped its hands, brushing away the dust that clung to its skin.
Soon, Yan Han arrived at the pond.
"Miss, it has been confirmed."
Chen Shouyu didn't die that night because Chen Xinchen intervened.
Not only that, Chen Xinchen also killed the Dharma Image Warriors who were secretly protecting Chang'an...
Chang'an was summoned back to Lingzong, and Changwen led his men out of the city.
Judging from the situation, they should be heading south.
However, according to news from our scouts...
Not only did Chang Pingtai remain in Lingzong, but Yue Konghen also stayed in Lingzong.
Judging from their appearance, it seems they want to negotiate with Chen Xinchen.
