Chapter 67: The Prince's Request, See You Again
"Thirteenth brother, I have another favor to ask of you today." The prince said after taking a sip of the fragrant tea.
Zhou Haochen's eyes narrowed, knowing that the sex scene was about to begin.
As the saying goes, one does not visit without a reason. The prince's visit must be for some purpose.
"I wonder what you are asking for, brother?"
"Feng Huai is young and lacks experience. He is not good at studying or practicing martial arts. I want him to work under you, my thirteenth brother, and learn the skills of investigating cases."
The prince's tone was pleasant and gave people a feeling of a spring breeze.
But beneath this warm tone, there is a kind of domineering attitude that cannot be refused.
"Don't worry, Thirteenth Brother, Feng Huai knows the rules."
As soon as the prince finished speaking, Feng Huai took out an exquisite sandalwood box and presented it to him.
"Your Highness Thirteen, this is a small gift. Please accept it."
Qin Qiulan took the sandalwood box, opened it and saw a magical herb shaped like an star anise inside.
"Your Highness, it's the Eight-Angled Black Fire Grass." Qin Qiulan said softly.
Zhou Haochen was silent for a moment.
The Eight-Angled Black Fire Grass contains the essence of Bing Fire and is a natural treasure used to cultivate Bing Fire True Thunder.
The gift Feng Huai sent was very targeted.
In other words, this Eight-Angled Black Fire Grass was given to him by the prince through Feng Huai.
Zhou Haochen carefully pondered the prince's series of actions and understood them.
It is both a test and an attempt to win over.
Test whether you are a Five Thunder Spirit Body and whether you have transformed into a Taoist practitioner.
On the other hand, he wanted to win over Feng Huai.
It doesn't matter what position Feng Huai holds or what job he does under him.
What matters is an attitude.
It shows that he has no hostility towards the prince and may be won over.
After some thought, Zhou Haochen accepted the Eight-Angled Mysterious Fire Grass.
Zhou Haochen had no intention of hiding the matter of the Five Thunder Spirits and his transformation into a Taoist practitioner. Once the prince knew, he would know.
As for winning over, Zhou Haochen had no objection.
Not only did he not oppose the Crown Prince's attempts to win him over, he also accepted the Second Prince's attempts to win him over.
The best option is to have the best of both worlds and bet on both sides.
If the timing is right, it might not be a bad idea to do it yourself.
"Brother, it's a good offer, so I'll accept it."
Seeing Zhou Haochen accepting the gift, a faint smile appeared on the prince's face.
The purpose of today's visit has been achieved.
Then, Zhou Haochen changed the subject: "Prince Feng, from now on you will follow me to investigate the White Lotus case."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will work hard to investigate the case and will not bring shame to Your Highness and the Crown Prince."
Feng Huai breathed a sigh of relief, although investigating the White Lotus Sect was a tough job.
But compared with the hellish life in the Imperial College, where there was a small test every three days, a big test every five days, and a ranking every month, it was so happy.
After sending the prince away, Zhou Haochen asked Feng Hai to follow Lu Liming to do things.
Anyway, he didn't expect Feng Huai to achieve anything, as long as he didn't hold him back.
"Auntie Lan, please ask for me, is there any news from Jian Qiu?"
Qin Qiulan helped Zhou Haochen go to the Heavenly Prison, and then returned with some not-so-good news for Zhou Haochen.
Jianqiu's mouth is the mouth of a platypus.
Very hard.
The criminals from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Suppressing Evil have not yet pried open her mouth.
"Your Highness, the criminal officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Suppression of Evil have issued a military order. There will definitely be a breakthrough within five days." Qin Qiulan reported.
Zhou Haochen shook his head in dissatisfaction: "Speed is of the essence in war. If we delay for too long, the White Lotus Sect will move away."
"Within three days, I will have a result."
Although the White Lotus Sect was in a latent state, it would certainly know the news of Jian Qiu's arrest soon.
Even if Xia Yuzhi had the elders of Xuanyin Pavilion by his side and could not contact the White Lotus Sect at will, the White Lotus Sect must have other intelligence channels to learn about what happened in the painting boat.
Zhou Haochen only hoped that he could pry open Jian Qiu's mouth as soon as possible and get enough information.
In the evening, the sun sets.
Helian Hai, who had been busy all day, came back. "Mr. He, I heard you want to give me a surprise?" Zhou Haochen asked in a teasing tone.
"Your Highness, the Five Thunder Sect is near Yujing City. There is a secret vault that contains many treasures."
"I went to investigate during the day, and the secret vault has not been discovered yet."
Zhou Haochen's eyes lit up.
The secret library of Wu Lei Men!
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Even if the Wu Lei Sect was destroyed, the hidden treasures would still be a huge fortune that would make people covet it.
"Where is the secret vault of Wu Lei Men?"
"Outside Yujing City, Baishi Mountain!"
"When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, Your Highness, bring your confidants with you and go to Baishi Mountain with me to take out the treasures from the secret vault."
"The treasures in the Baishishan secret vault are mainly magical instruments, and Your Highness, you just don't have a suitable magical instrument yet."
After discussing with Helian Hai, Zhou Haochen waited until midnight and took his confidants to follow Helian Hai to Baishishan.
The secret library is of great importance, Zhou Haochen is worried, so he goes there in person.
The journey was smooth and the sea was calm, and we soon arrived at Baishishan.
The entrance to the Wu Lei Gate's secret library is located behind the waterfall and is covered by a formation. If it weren't for the "traitor" Helian Hai, it would not be easy to find the secret library.
The secret vault was filled with magical instruments, and spiritual light shot up into the sky.
The most common magical weapons are flying swords, all of which are standard models.
"Your Highness, these Thunder Swords were magical instruments that our Five Thunder Sect made specifically for disciples at the Controlling Objects Realm. Although they are only secret treasures forbidden to humans, they consume little mana, are fast, and have great power, making them very suitable for practitioners at the Controlling Objects Realm."
"This Thunder Sword is of the highest quality. It should have been made by our sect's elders themselves."
Helian Hai picked a flying sword for Zhou Haochen. It had been stored in the secret vault for many years and was still shining brightly.
There are five earth prohibitions on the sword body, forming a seamless whole.
The Thunder Sword, a forbidden treasure on earth.
It is much stronger than the forbidden treasure-level Thunder Sword of others.
Zhou Haochen guessed that this Falling Thunder Sword was prepared for the genius of the Five Thunder Sect.
A flying sword of the earth-forbidden treasure level is enough for transition.
After taking the flying sword, his eyebrows felt hot and two hexagrams appeared in his mind.
[Water and Wind: The best hexagram, shatter the left hand side, the third wooden frame, the second layer of the shield, get a fourth-grade opportunity, the follow-up involves some cause and effect, there may be hidden dangers, blessings and disasters are determined by the heart, very auspicious. ]
[Thunder Land: A middle hexagram. Let your subordinates sort out the magic tools in the secret library. Do not take any action. Nothing to gain or lose. It's a neutral hexagram.]
Fourth-grade opportunity!
Or it’s hidden in the magic shield!
Zhou Haochen raised his eyebrows, and the words "picking up a bargain" emerged in his mind.
This was an unexpected surprise. I could actually find a bargain in the secret vault of the Wu Lei Sect.
"Someone, bring me the big shield on the wooden frame."
Zhou Haochen gave an order, and his men brought the shield, which fell into Zhou Haochen's hands.
His fingertips gently stroked the shield. The surface was rough and didn't look unusual.
Helian Hai sensed Zhou Haochen's actions and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face. He wondered why Zhou Haochen wanted an ordinary shield?
Just when Helian Hai was feeling strange.
Zhou Haochen flicked his fingertips, and the Renshui True Thunder at the level of transformation shot out.
Hit the shield.
Lightning flashes.
With a squeak!
The shield could not withstand the bombardment of the Renshui True Thunder and shattered into pieces in an instant.
As the shield broke into pieces, the contents inside were revealed.
It's a pair of wings.
"Thunder Peng Wings!"
Helian Hai exclaimed, his face full of astonishment.
A crazy thought arose in my mind.
A million treasures of spirits!
You can’t go wrong!
You can’t go wrong!
Your Highness must be a dual spirit!
