Chapter 440 Cooperation with Xu Jinyu? Academy Enrollment! [4k Subscription Required! ]

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

During this time, there was an endless stream of people giving gifts in front of Su Luoheng's door. The forces behind these people were basically all the princes and nobles in the court. There are countless rare and rare things.

Although the identity of the Snow Emperor has not been made public, this is only relative.

The relationship between Su Luoheng and the Snow Emperor has long been an open secret among the princes and nobles.

No matter where they are, strong people are worthy of winning over and getting close to. The reason why these people repeatedly showed their goodwill to him was to make friends with Su Luoheng and the Snow Emperor behind him.

If one could gain the friendship of an Extreme Douluo, the benefits would be self-evident. Although it does not directly affect the empire's decision-making, it still holds a considerable amount of weight.

In subsequent contacts with these people, Su Luoheng also learned a lot of information about the Sun and Moon Court. The most mentioned issue is naturally the issue of the crown prince.

I have to admit that Xu Tianran's position is too stable.

First, nearly a quarter of the officials in the court chose to side with him.

Secondly, one and a half of the legion's four major Protector's Hand soul mentor groups are firmly in his hands.

These two forces are Xu Tianran's greatest capital.

So even though he is disabled now, he can still firmly hold his position as the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, and no one can shake him.

but……

As a prince, no one would want to be inferior to others.

Even if the chance is slim, they don't want to give up the chance of inheritance.

If you want to ascend to the throne of the Sun and Moon Empire, it is absolutely impossible without the support of powerful forces. Now, in addition to the support of the four major soul master groups, the Chaotang, and the Mingde Hall, there is now another Snow Emperor.

So now these princes of the Sun and Moon Empire are frequently wooing themselves, and their goal is nothing more than to use the power of the Snow Emperor's Ultimate Douluo level to increase their own political capital.

Although Su Luoheng also wanted to find someone to cooperate with Xu Tianran.

But choosing allies requires careful consideration. After all, people are unpredictable, and it is difficult to guarantee interests when it comes to interests. My father is a clear negative example.

The prerequisite for cooperation is that both parties must be aware of it.

It was difficult to tell whether the information collected from the outside world was true or false, and in addition, none of these princes he had any real knowledge of. So after observing in secret, Su Luoheng did not reach cooperation with them.

Thinking about it...

After all, Su Luoheng only knew that one person in the Sun and Moon Royal Family: Although this person's identity was a bit deviated, he was a genuine member of the royal family.

It would be nice to test your attitude from him.

…

…

In the central area of ​​Mingdu, Prince Heng's Mansion.

At this moment, the door to the treasury in the mansion was opened, and several servants were constantly going back and forth from the treasury, carrying large boxes one after another into the courtyard. And a dedicated person is responsible for counting the quantities.

After a while, a large number of boxes were piled up in the courtyard.

It contains all the rare treasures collected by the palace.

"..."

Xu Jinyu stood in the courtyard and watched quietly.

"Your Highness, the statistics are ready."

At this moment, Mr. Chen, the palace steward, came over with a list.

"There are still more than 2,000 kilograms of various precious metal materials collected by the palace. These include purple gold and copper, Tianling Silver, Mingjing, meteorite iron, star-moon alloy..."

"The above is all the inventory of the palace."

After a short pause, Mr. Chen looked at Xu Jinyu and said, "Your Highness, how much do you think we should take out this time?"

"Half of it."

Xu Jinyu spoke indifferently.

"When you're ready, send it to Su Luoheng."

"half……"

When Mr. Chen heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

You must know that these are all the savings of Prince Heng's Mansion, and they are the wealth that the old prince has saved with great difficulty. Although Su Luoheng had an Ultimate Douluo behind him, giving away half of it at once would be too much, right?

Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment and considered: "Your Highness, are these things too much? We don't know Su Luoheng's attitude yet, so we rashly send such a generous gift. If we don't get a response, wouldn't it be..."

"Uncle Chen, I know what you are worried about."

Xu Jinyu sighed softly when he heard this and said slowly.

"You should be very clear about my father's current situation. If we don't want Prince Heng's palace to be divided up by them, Su Luoheng and the Ultimate Douluo behind him are our only chance now."

"I happened to have a relationship with Su Luoheng before, and I also have this relationship with Senior Ran. It's worth taking the gamble. So we need to show enough sincerity. This is our stepping stone."

"..."

A look of determination appeared on Xu Jinyu's eyebrows.

"Uncle Chen, I'll leave this matter to you."

"My subordinate understands."

Mr. Chen was silent for a long time, then nodded with his hands in hand.

He understood Xu Jinyu's dilemma.

Ever since the old prince fell ill, the situation in Prince Heng's Mansion has been deteriorating. The princes, princes and grandsons who had previously tried to win over him all changed their faces, and they all wanted to get a piece of the royal family's pie.

As the saying goes, human relationships are cold and warm, but the world is hot and cold.

The macaques scattered when the trees fell, and the grass on the wall fell with the wind.

With internal and external troubles, this situation is really too difficult for the entire Prince Heng's Mansion. In order to preserve the legacy left by the old prince, His Highness was unwilling to give up even if there was a little hope.

Mr. Chen understands this truth.

And all he can do now is follow orders.

"..."

"Your Highness, Su Luoheng is here to visit."

At this moment, the guards outside the palace hurried to the inner courtyard, and immediately knelt and bowed when they saw Xu Jinyu.

Su Luoheng?

Why did he come to the palace?

Xu Jinyu was stunned for a moment, looking surprised.

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he asked at the same time.

"Where is he now?"

"Waiting in the hall."

"Please ask him to come in, I will be there soon."

"Yes!"

"..."

Xu Jinyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

I am afraid that Su Luoheng's unexpected visit this time has other purposes.

Perhaps, it is also an opportunity for their Hengwang Mansion to be preserved!

Thinking of this, Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed a little, and after instructing his men to prepare the metal materials as soon as possible, he walked quickly to the front hall.

……

……

At the same time, the front hall.

Su Luoheng was waiting for Xu Jinyu to arrive.

Yes, the candidate Su Luoheng mentioned was Xu Jinyu.

Although he was not the prince of the current dynasty, he also had the right to inherit the throne.

Moreover, he nominally controls the Horror Claw Soul Mentor Corps. Although it has been infiltrated by various forces, the Soul Mentor Corps is still nominally under the control of the Hengwang Mansion, and there are still some loyal people in the Corps.

The most important thing is that I know something about Xu Jinyu. The previous Jingyang Mountains and the Soul Mentor Shop have intersected. Moreover, my teacher has a good personal relationship with the Hengwang Mansion, and there is a layer of relationship.

From the teacher, Su Luoheng learned that the old prince of the Hengwang Mansion might not be able to hold on for long, and Xu Jinyu is facing a very bad situation now. It is the time to provide help.

So Su Luoheng planned to contact Xu Jinyu.

Find out his strength and see if he can cooperate with him.

…

…

Not long.

Xu Jinyu walked into the hall and sat in the main seat.

Because the two had contact before, they were not unfamiliar with each other. After greeting each other, they chatted casually.

"…"

After the two exchanged greetings, it was time to talk about business. Xu Jinyu first waved his hand to signal the attendants to leave, and then looked at Su Luoheng who was sitting beside him.

"I wonder why Brother Luoheng suddenly visited today?"

Su Luoheng smiled calmly and said gently, "I am here to thank Brother Xu today. During the time I was away from Sun Moon Academy, I also want to thank you for taking care of the store and providing help."

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Xu Jinyu waved his hand and said seriously, "If it weren't for the rescue of Luoheng and Senior Ran in the Jingyang Mountains, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the wolf's belly, how could I be here today?"

"It's just a little help."

Su Luoheng smiled and shook his head.

"..."

"Your Highness, what you want."

As he spoke, the attendant walked into the hall and presented the gift box.

After placing it in front of Su Luoheng, he respectfully left.

"Brother Xu, what do you mean?"

"Luo Heng, this is specially prepared for you."

"I heard that you returned to the academy some time ago, so I planned to visit you. I have prepared a gift for you. I didn't expect you to come to me first, so you can take this thing."

"Brother Xu, there is no need for us..."

"Luo Heng, you might as well take a look."

Before Su Luoheng refused, Xu Jinyu had taken out the blue space crystal stone and handed it to Su Luoheng.

The spiritual power wrapped the crystal stone, and seeing the large amount of precious metals piled up inside, even Su Luoheng couldn't help but take a breath.

"Brother Xu, your gift is too expensive..."

"Brother Luoheng, just accept it. These things are useless in our palace treasury. It is also a good use of them in the hands of a soul guide like you."

"..."

Finally, under Xu Jinyu's insistence.

Su Luoheng still accepted this generous gift.

"If it weren't for the complicated affairs during this period, this gift should have been delivered to you long ago."

As he said this, Xu Jinyu sighed and looked worried.

Hearing this, Su Luoheng asked: "On the way to the palace, I also heard some rumors. I just don't know how the prince's health is now? Master Ran has been paying attention to it."

Xu Jinyu sighed, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Ran. It's just that my father's health has begun to deteriorate recently, and now there is no medicine or cure. I'm afraid... he won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"Brother Xu, you don't have to be too pessimistic. Things may turn around before the last minute." Su Luoheng comforted.

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Jinyu smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly.

"Brother Luoheng is not afraid of your laugh. Since my father was critically ill, my Heng Palace has also experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature and the fickleness of the world. How many people in Mingdu now hope that my father will live?"

"Brother Luoheng, to be honest, apart from you and Senior Ran, I can't find anyone trustworthy outside."

"..."

Su Luoheng's eyes flickered slightly, as if thinking about something.

Obviously, he had heard the hidden meaning of Xu Jinyu.

Then, he also needed to release some signals.

"I didn't expect that I would be so trusted by Brother Xu."

Thinking of this, Su Luoheng took the opportunity to speak, "Speaking of which, although many members of the royal family have been on good terms with me recently, I don't know much about them. You are the only person in the royal family who knows everything about me."

"So..."

"We must help each other, what do you think?"

"Yes, Brother Luoheng is right!"

Hearing this, Xu Jinyu's eyes lit up.

They are all smart people, so they naturally understand what the other party means.

At the moment, the two of them tacitly did not continue to delve into this topic, but they both felt the cooperation intention released by each other, and the atmosphere of the conversation became more harmonious.

Time flies.

It was already noon in a blink of an eye.

"It's already noon?"

"I didn't expect that we would chat for so long."

Xu Jinyu glanced at the time and invited: "It's time for dinner, Brother Luoheng, why don't you have dinner with me? The chefs in my mansion are all royal chefs in the palace, and their skills are excellent."

"No, no, I'll go back to eat."

Su Luoheng waved his hand.

"In that case, I'll see you off."

"I didn't have enough fun today, and I must get together next time."

"There must be a chance, and it won't be too long."

"..."

Then Xu Jinyu sent Su Luoheng out of the mansion.

The first conversation between the two ended, and it was a conversation that was enjoyed by both the host and the guest. Although none of them said it explicitly, they have confirmed their intention to cooperate with each other.

Because cooperation is definitely not something that can be confirmed overnight.

So it is enough to confirm their intention to cooperate today.

As for the promises and conditions, they will have to wait until the next conversation. And the time between the next conversation is the time for them to think about confirming the conditions and promises of cooperation.

"..."

Leaving the Hengwang Mansion, Su Luoheng walked on the road.

Originally, he did not want to be involved in the royal family turmoil, but most of the time people are always helpless and are swept forward by the waves of the times. Just like he had to join the Sun and Moon Court for the safety of his teacher.

Although he did not want to, he had to do it.

Unless he could master absolute power.

Maybe it is possible in the future, but now he can only follow the steps.

Use everything he has to do his best to reverse the death of his teacher.

...

...

A week later.

It is the annual enrollment season again. Today, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is very lively. Before the enrollment has started, a large number of freshmen who are preparing for the assessment have gathered outside the door.

According to a rough estimate, the number of people sacrificed this year is 20% to 30% more than in previous years.

Because in addition to the original students from the Sun Moon Empire, there are also many students from the Three Douluo Kingdoms. They all come to register for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

The feat of Su Luoheng challenging the entire Shrek Inner Court has been widely circulated in the Three Douluo Kingdoms, causing many people to become interested in soul guides and the Sun Moon Academy.

In addition, the recent decline in the reputation of the Shrek Academy, etc., under the superposition of many reasons, this has led to a part of the students flowing into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

It can only be said that some people have shot themselves in the foot.

Instead of regaining their face, they have become a stepping stone for others.
