Wu Sheng, Ye Qionglou, Donghai Wang, and Hai Pingchao returned to Hailing City together.

On the edge of the East China Sea, the tide had receded. Two water monsters were standing on the beach, with a corpse in front of them.

He was injured by Ye Qionglou when he was escaping all the way. Then he provoked Ye Qionglou and was beaten more and more injured. After his cultivation was abolished, he had only one breath left. As a result, he was directly hit by the waves set off by Donghai Shaojun.

Shot dead on the beach.

In other words, it was the master he took refuge in who ultimately killed him.

The two water monsters stood there, looking at their master's pale face and not daring to say anything for fear of getting into trouble.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Lord Donghai Shaolong took a few deep breaths, then turned around and returned to the East China Sea, submerging himself into the rolling waves. The two water monsters behind him hurriedly followed after seeing this.

In the sand, Guan He's body lay there, being beaten around by the waves, looking extremely miserable.

In Hailing City, Wu Sheng came to the Donghai Palace for the first time.

The palace is naturally very grand. In the courtyard, there are evergreen trees all year round, flowers blooming in winter, rockeries, strange rocks, pavilions, water pavilions, and wind lotuses in the winding courtyard.

This private banquet was very sumptuous, with delicacies from mountains and seas, fine wine and delicious food.

This King of the East China Sea did not have the airs of a prince. When he heard that Wu Sheng was in Hailing City and was a guest at the Bafang Tower, the smile on the face of the King of the East China Sea seemed to be a little brighter.

After coming out of the Donghai King's Mansion, Ye Qionglou once again expressed his gratitude to Wu Sheng, because he had accepted the Donghai King's invitation and he would stay in Hailing City for a few days.

In the palace, in the study of King Donghai, there are two people, King Donghai and Hai Pingchao.

"General Hai, what do you think of the cultivation level of those two gentlemen?"

"To be able to compete with that Young Master of the East China Sea for a while is naturally very high." Hai Pingchao replied truthfully.

"What I didn't expect is that one of them is actually a guest of Bafanglou." As he spoke, King Donghai picked up a small jade lion on the table and started to play with it.

"Then congratulations to the prince." Hai Pingchao handed over his hand.

"It's too early to say congratulations now. It's hard to say what the purpose of his coming here is, whether he's leaving or staying." King Donghai waved his hand.

"The general has come from the capital. What news do you have?"

"Since the sacrifice to heaven, the emperor has not been in court, and the imperial master has not been in seclusion. All court affairs are handled by the prime minister."

"Where's the border?"

"Seventeen cities have been captured in the Western Region and Northern Xinjiang, and the offensive has slowed down."

King Donghai narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.

"We clearly occupied the top spot, so why did the offensive suddenly slow down?"

"I heard that there is a conflict between the Western Region and Northern Xinjiang."

"My heart is not in harmony!" King Donghai sighed after hearing this.

"What a blessing for the Jin Dynasty!"

Outside the palace, Wu Sheng looked at it with Dharma eyes. The palace was completely covered in mist, and he couldn't see the aura in it. There should be some magic weapon or magic circle blocking the aura in it.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing in Hailing?"

"Find someone." Wu Sheng said after pondering for a moment.

"Looking for someone, someone, maybe I can help?"

"Honestly, I don't know what he looks like now. Even if I see him in person, I may not recognize him." What he said was the truth.

"The person that Brother Wang is looking for shouldn't be in the Donghai Palace, right?" Ye Qionglou turned around and glanced at the palace not far away.

"It's possible."

"The King of East China Sea is a thoughtful man with lofty ambitions. His subordinates are also hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Brother Wang, you must be careful in everything." Ye Qionglou reminded him kindly.

"This is natural." Wu Sheng said.

Although I took this opportunity to get closer to the King of East China Sea, it was only a step forward, and there were still many difficulties ahead.

Ye Qionglou originally wanted to thank Wu Sheng alone, but he declined.

Not long after returning to the small courtyard, Wei Ming came to visit. He had already received an order from above. This was a distinguished guest valued by the King of East China Sea, and since the prince was hosting a banquet today, he naturally wanted to pay more attention to it.

We chatted with Wei Ming first, and talked about the capable people under the command of King Donghai. Wei Ming said some things, and Wu Sheng kept them in mind. In addition, there are several worshipers in the palace who do not go out on weekdays and only practice in unknown places.

, and at the same time protect the safety of the palace.

For several days in a row, Bafanglou treated Wu Sheng with great care, and he also learned some things about the East China Sea King from Wei Ming's mouth. Of course, these are no secrets.

Your Majesty, which one are you offering?

Seeing that the time for King Donghai to entertain those distinguished guests is getting closer and closer, Hailing City has undergone some subtle changes.

There are more soldiers patrolling the streets, and the Donghai Palace is much more lively than before. Some guests have recently arrived.

Wu Sheng will occasionally "pass by".

Well, on this day, he suddenly stopped and looked at a man standing at the door.

"I finally found you!"

This person was exactly the person Wu Sheng had met during the "Liuxiang" period in Jiangning, and the person who asked the second son of the Ding family to inquire about Lanruo Temple.

Wu Sheng learned about that person that day, Chen Shou, one of the palace stewards

Another step forward.

In the next two days, Wu Sheng found out where Chen Shou's home was and that the housekeeper seemed to be in poor health. He always sent people to regular medical clinics to get medicine, which was to strengthen the body and replenish the blood. In addition, this

Butler Chen also likes to eat blood eels.

"If a monk is in such poor health, how can he not be afraid of bleeding from the seven orifices with this method of replenishment, or that there is something wrong with his practice? He can't be like a woman who only has a few days every month!"

Wu Sheng became more and more interested in Butler Chen.

At the Guanhai Tower, the private banquet of the King of the East China Sea was held as scheduled, and Wu Sheng was invited.

This was a very private gathering. Although Wu Sheng was appreciated by the King of East China Sea for his advanced cultivation, he was still a "newcomer" after all. The King of East China Sea did not know him thoroughly and needed to be "observed" for a period of time before he could be reused.

He didn't go to Guanhai Building, but he was accompanied by the big shopkeeper of Bafang Building in person. On the fourth floor of Bafang Building, there was only one table in Nuo Da's hall, and there were two people, Wu Sheng, and one person.

The military commander is Haipingchao's deputy, named Han Xiaofeng.

The food was very sumptuous, and could even be described as luxurious. This table could feed ten people.

The shopkeeper Huo Da is very talkative and knowledgeable, but Han Xiaofeng doesn't like to talk very much, but he likes to drink. Wu Sheng likes to eat and drink, and occasionally gossips.

After coming out of the Bafang Building, Wu Sheng walked towards the house of Butler Chen, thinking about how to create some "accidental encounters". He happened to see someone giving him an iron box. It was unknown what was inside, but it should be

It's a living thing.

Wu Sheng waved his hands together, and a gust of wind blew up, lifting the curtain outside. Inside was a sika deer, blinking its big eyes.

"Sika deer?" Wu Sheng was slightly confused.

Does this Chen Shou also raise deer?

These people hurriedly covered the curtain, carried the box into the yard, and then carried it out into a sack. Wu Sheng followed them to a restaurant, and two dead sika deer were found in the sack.

"It's like this again. The most precious deer blood is gone, and the quality of the meat is also poor." The chef of the restaurant felt a little pity and complained.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense?" the shopkeeper said in a low voice.

No blood? So Butler Chen still drinks deer blood?

It was night, and Chen Shou left the palace very late. His house was very close to the palace, so he could easily take orders.

Just when he was about to get home, he suddenly started coughing. He coughed continuously, and then blood slowly oozed from the corners of his mouth. He hurriedly took a pill to suppress it, and then returned home.

With so much blood on his body, aren't you afraid of being discovered in the palace? Wu Sheng, who was following in the dark, stared at Chen Shou who had returned home. The moment he noticed that he was coughing, a very conspicuous amount of blood suddenly surged out of his body.

After entering the house, Chen Shou looked at the sleeping child, then went to the kitchen, took out a jar from a hidden compartment, poured out a bowl of blood from it, and drank it.

"Master, your illness is getting worse and worse." The woman standing at the door looked worried.

"It's okay." Chen Shou hid the jar, but when his wife handed him the cup, he gargled and spat it out.

"You haven't gotten better after taking so many medicines. Please go and beg the prince. After serving him for so many years, you still have toil without any merit."

"You can't trouble your prince with such a trivial matter."
