Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality! Chapter 842

Chapter 842: Great Foolishness Ruins Wisdom

The second prince did not find the fairy grass that can extend life span in the East China Sea.

But this does not affect his plan.

If you can find fairy grass in the East China Sea and extend your father's life, your status in his father's heart will rise, and you may even surpass your eldest brother and make yourself the heir apparent.

It doesn't matter if you can't find the fairy grass. Your father can see your filial piety, which is also an advantage compared to your elder brother who does nothing.

Moreover, it is indeed dangerous to go to the East China Sea. The battle between the two immortals in the Dragon Palace caused him to die unexpectedly. After experiencing such dangers, it was impossible for his father to remain indifferent.

So it doesn't matter whether he found the fairy grass or not, what's important is that he went to the East China Sea.

Even so, after he came back and waited for a year, his father was getting thinner and thinner, and there was still no real estate, which made him a little anxious.

It happened that Hou Lu Yang came to the imperial city at this time. Relying on his friendship with Donghai, he invited Lu Yang to come to his house to talk, exchange feelings, and ask Lu Yang to help him ascend the throne. It was a logical thing.

Few people know that the second prince is a thoughtful person.

"Well, the second son of the Jiang family wants to invite me to come over?" After receiving the invitation, Immortal Fairy felt that the imperial city was really lively. She received invitations every day. In addition to the invitations from the second son of the Jiang family, there were also many literati. Invitations from poets came one after another, all asking her to recite poems and write lyrics, but Lu Yang declined them all according to Lu Yang's wishes.

"Your Majesty, I want to call you the second prince." Lu Yang reminded, if you call the second prince of the Jiang family in front of the second prince, then you will have to wait for the second prince to look bad.

"Oh, that's okay." The Immortal Fairy is a qualified emperor, and she listens to whatever Lu Yang says.

“Then let's go to the home of the second son of the Jiang family.” The Immortal Fairy likes lively places. The invitation said that the second son of the Jiang family would host a banquet for Lu Yang.

"Let's call Lao Meng again. He is more familiar with the affairs of the Imperial City. When we arrive at the home of the second son of the Jiang family...the second prince, we won't be blinded." Lu Yang said, almost calling out the title of Immortal Fairy. .

Meng Jingzhou frowned slightly when he learned that the second prince was going to entertain Lu Yang. According to his understanding of the second prince, this banquet was probably more than just a meal.

But since the immortal wanted to go, he didn't dare to stop him. At worst, if something happened, he would block it for the immortal.

Meng Jingzhou did not bring Meng Jingyu with him this time. This kind of occasion is not suitable for Meng Jingyu to follow.

The second prince's banquet was scheduled for three days later. After three days, Immortal Fairy took Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to the banquet.

The second prince paid great attention to Lu Yang. On the day of the banquet, he personally greeted Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou at the door.

He saw the two people coming from a distance, and trotted over with a warm but not overly smile on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "You two have not seen each other for a year since we parted ways in the East China Sea. I miss you very much."

Meng Jingzhou had the same smile on his face and returned the favor with his hands raised: "Your Highness, you're welcome."

"Please come in."

"please."

The purpose of the second prince's banquet was to cleanse Lu Yang's life. Now that the key people had arrived, the banquet started naturally.

Perhaps because he was worried that the banquet would not be lively enough, the second prince also hosted a banquet for many young masters. A small number of them were known to Lu Yang, but most of them had never met before. This meant that not all the young masters invited by the second prince were of the same age.

The three of them sat down, and the second prince took the initiative and said: "I have heard that Fellow Daoist Lu Yang has arrived in the Imperial City a long time ago. Unfortunately, I have been busy with official duties and have no time to entertain Fellow Daoist Lu Yang. Today I finally took some free time to welcome Fellow Daoist Lu Yang. I hope you won't be offended."

"Fellow Taoist Lu Yang has made a big splash in the Imperial City. Not only did he defeat all the geniuses of the same age in the Imperial City, but he also wrote a song in the Lotus Tower, which attracted applause from the whole house. Even the great scholars from the Hanlin Academy were full of praise for your lyrics and praised you for your performance. The first poem has the ability to understand one's mind and see one's nature.”

“Come, let me introduce these people to you.”

“This is the grandson of the Taifu Qing, Hongguan Mountain.”

“This is the son of the governor of the governor's office, Kongde.”

"Who is this…"

The second prince introduced them one by one. Hong Guanshan and others wore proud smiles. Their identities were their pride.

The Immortal Fairy just nodded politely. She was not interested in the identity of these people, and she didn't know what the Taifu Qing did.

Meng Jingzhou listened on the side, his expression slightly changed. The Immortal Fairy didn't understand what these people meant, but he did understand.

These people are involved in all aspects of Daxia, including the army, finance, security of the imperial city, etc. If they can all be used by the second prince, they will be an extremely huge force.

This is how many people supported the second prince's introduction to Lu Yang.

The Immortal Fairy was a little impatient after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do you always say who their father and grandfather are when you introduce them? Aren't they themselves famous?"

“You see, when I introduce myself, as long as I say I am Lu Yang, others will know me and there is no need to say anything else.”

As soon as these words came out, Hong Guanshan and others smiled stiffly, which touched their sore spot.

Just one meeting made them feel guilty. This ability to see everything is really terrifying. No wonder His Highness the Second Prince tried so hard to win over Lu Yang!

“And their identities have nothing to do with me, right?” Immortal Fairy asked puzzledly. She didn't care what these people were called, nor did she care who their father and grandfather were and what they did.

It's better to finish the introduction quickly and start the banquet.

The second prince's heart was moved. He didn't believe that Lu Yang couldn't understand his introduction, but Lu Yang said that he didn't care about the identities of these people. Did he mean to say that he didn't want to participate in this competition for the throne?

Upon seeing this, the second prince simply stopped introducing the forces behind him and followed Lu Yang's wishes to start the banquet.

The banquet went as normal, with dancing girls adding to the fun, people drinking and having fun.

The dancing girl dances gracefully, but she pales in comparison to Ye Mengyin, and is not even worthy of carrying her shoes compared to the Immortal Fairy, who has no interest in dancing.

“It would be about the same if it were Zhu Tian.”

The Immortal Fairy didn't like drinking very much. She remembered that the Time Immortal had soaked a jar of immortal wine with her body. Drink, drink like crazy, it's quite unsightly.

The Immortal Fairy felt that as the first of the ten beauties in ancient times, she had to maintain her identity and could not do such low prices, so she always had some resistance to wine.

"By the way, Xiao Yangzi, do you want to see the scene where Qilin Immortal and Jiuzhong Immortal were drunk and crazy? I still have photos here."

Lu Yang quickly shook his head when he heard this. Whoever sees this kind of thing will die. He still wants to live for two more years.

The second prince was very drunk. Then he got drunk and approached Lu Yang, pouring out the bitter water.

“Fellow Taoist Lu Yang, my heart is bitter.”

"My father's death is approaching, but the throne is still undecided. My eldest brother said that he has no intention of retaining the throne, but the royal family has no family ties. Who can say for sure."

"There are also the fourth and fifth sons. They say they are not interested in the throne, but they are secretly prepared."

The second prince shook his head and sighed, revealing his true feelings: "The situation in the imperial city is unpredictable. Fellow Taoist, you are an outsider and can see it most clearly. Who do you think will win the throne in the end?"

Everyone who was drinking and having fun heard the second prince's drunken words and pretended to have a discussion, but in fact they were secretly observing Lu Yang's reaction.

Your Highness is using Jiu Jin to show off his cards, and wants to know if Lu Yang will join their camp.

Meng Jingzhou's expression changed slightly, and he realized this. If there were any mistakes in his answer, it might bring both the Meng family and the Taoist sect into the competition for the throne!

The Meng family and Tao Zong have always been in a neutral position and do not participate in the competition for the throne!

This kind of precedent cannot be set!

Lu Yang also realized this, and this was the purpose of the second prince inviting him over.

Force him to take sides!

Be careful in your answers and don't let the second prince seize the loophole.

Just when Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were thinking about how to answer, they saw the Immortal Fairy asked with a surprised expression.

“So it turns out that I have the final say on who can be the emperor?”
