Chapter 374 Three Conditions
In the hall.
As soon as he sat down, Tang Xiao couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao San, I have discussed your proposal with the three elders. However, compared to our answer, I want to know more about Dai Mubai's idea?"
This question had been rehearsed before coming here, and Dai Mubai answered fluently, "Master Tang, the position of the crown prince of the Xingluo Empire originally belonged to me. Davis used his mean style to slander and spread rumors about me, which ruined my reputation. Only then did he get the favor of my father. Such mean behavior is really despicable. If Davis really became the emperor, there would be no telling what kind of turmoil would happen in the empire. As a part of the empire, Son, I don't want to, and I will never allow this to happen. "
Tang Xiao smiled lightly, and did not answer in a hurry, but asked: "Xiao San, I heard that Dai Mubai has a very serious injury. This will greatly affect his future, is this true? "
Tang San quickly responded: "Uncle, I am 90% sure that Mubai's injury can be cured. It's just that it will take some time. At most two years, Mubai will be able to recover. "
"Master Tang Xiao, as Xiao San's teacher, I have no doubt in Xiao San's ability. Since Xiao San dares to speak, he must be sure. "Yu Xiaogang followed up.
Tang Xiao didn't care about Dai Mubai's physical condition. Even if Dai Mubai was a eunuch, as long as no one knew, he could still become the emperor. The only headache was that Davis had previously exposed this matter. If it was not handled properly, Dai Mubai would easily become the target of public criticism.
By then, the efforts made by the Haotian Sect would have gone to waste.
Therefore, in order to stop the gossip, Dai Mubai must recover, otherwise Tang Xiao and Haotian Sect will not provide substantial help.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Dai Mubai, tell me, if you succeed in ascending the throne, what kind of political achievements will you make, or what kind of political achievements do you want to make?"
Dai Mubai has fantasized about this countless times. The first thing he did when he became emperor was to kill the Davis couple and catch the bitch Zhu Zhuqing. However, this kind of thing cannot be said on the table.
Dai Mubai talked freely: "As the prince of the Xingluo Empire, my father has taught us many times to put the people first. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world"
Dai Mubai said a lot, and these words were not taught by Tang San. Dai Mubai remembered a lot of them after being in the palace since he was a child.
Tang Xiao asked with a smile: "What if someone wants to overthrow your position?"
Tang San quickly winked. This question was not to let Dai Mubai answer the disposal measures, but to let him show his loyalty.
Dai Mubai understood calmly and said: "If I can ascend the throne, it must be under the premise of your sect's support. When that time comes, I have to look up to Sect Master Tang to clear some obstacles for me."
"What if our Haotian Sect suffers heavy casualties?" Tang Xiao touched his chin and asked again.
Dai Mubai said without hesitation: "Sect Master Tang is too serious. Your sect's disciples are unparalleled in the world, so how could there be casualties. If there are casualties, the empire will settle their families."
Tang Xiao nodded slightly.
Dai Mubai does not have the conditions to ascend the throne now. It is inevitable that it is a bit unrealistic to talk about the benefits he will bring to the Haotian Sect after ascending the throne.
The two sides talked for a while, during which Tang San winked at Dai Mubai a lot.
Tang Xiao saw all of this. What they want is not a wise ruler, but a complete puppet. Tang San is a member of the Haotian Sect. As long as he can always control Dai Mubai, the Haotian Sect will gain endless benefits from the Xingluo Empire in the future.
Moreover, among the fourth-generation disciples of the Haotian Sect, only Tang San has outstanding talent. Tang Xiao also intends to give up the position of the future Haotian Sect Master to Tang San.
Finally, Tang Xiao stretched out three fingers.
"Dai Mubai, you are not worthy of Haotian Sect's investment in you now. But I give you three conditions. If you can complete them all, Haotian Sect will support you immediately."
As the sect master, Tang Xiao's words are naturally binding. Moreover, he can come up with three conditions, and it is likely that he has negotiated with the three elders.
While Tang San was relieved, he couldn't help but wonder what the three conditions would be.
"Please tell me, Sect Master Tang, I will definitely complete it." Dai Mubai said solemnly.
Tang Xiao smiled faintly and said, "First, your injuries must be healed. And the whole continent must know that you, Dai Mubai, will participate in the competition for the throne."
"Second, your current strength is not enough. You have no advantage in the competition for the throne. Therefore, your soul power must break through the seventy-first level."
"Third, if you give up the marriage with the Zhu family, you must marry a disciple of the Haotian Sect. The status of the Zhu family can remain unchanged, but my Haotian Sect cannot enjoy a lower treatment than them."
"As the leader of the Haotian Sect, I, Tang Xiao, swear by my martial soul that if Dai Mubai completes the above conditions, the Haotian Sect will support Dai Mubai to ascend the throne."
After a pause, Tang Xiao looked at Dai Mubai: "You swear by your martial soul and repeat the three conditions I mentioned above."
Dai Mubai dared not neglect it and quickly expressed his position.
"Haha, now that we have settled the business. You have been on the road for more than a month, so go and rest early. By the way, Xiao San, there is a courtyard for you in the sect, you can take Master and the others to rest."
With Tang San's status, he naturally could not get a whole courtyard. Tang Xiao used his father's name to force the three elders to get it for him.
Considering that Tang San did not return to the sect often, the three elders opposed it, but did not take any substantial action.
"Uncle, we will leave first. Uncle Ning should talk to you later." Tang San took the opportunity to tell Ning Fengzhi's request, "Uncle Ning has taken good care of me over the years. Now the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has encountered disasters many times, and even under such circumstances, Uncle Ning still supports the actions of me and my teacher. If the sect allows, please help Sect Master Ning."
Tang San would definitely not be so kind.
Ning Fengzhi benefits, and he, as a member of the interest chain, can also benefit.
Tang Xiao is easy to talk to, but it is mainly difficult to pass the three elders. Besides, the current situation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect does not bring any benefits to the Haotian Sect.
He sighed in his heart. If it were not for the tense situation on the mainland, the Haotian Sect would need three Titled Douluo to support the facade. Otherwise, he would have abolished these three guys who relied on their age.
"Xiao San, you guys go and rest first. I will talk to Sect Master Ning about this matter in person." Tang Xiao did not give any answer.
After leaving the hall, Ning Fengzhi had a brief meeting with Tang San and others.
Tang San's side was barely good news. As long as Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, these three conditions could be met.
But Ning Fengzhi's side was not very ideal.
"The three elders of the Haotian Sect seem to be deliberately avoiding the topic. I'm afraid they will not unconditionally support the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
"Sect Master Ning, you go and talk to Sect Master Tang Xiao first. If it doesn't work, think of other ways."
Yu Xiaogang gave instructions, and then he and Tang San, led by the disciples of the Haotian Sect, came to a newly built courtyard.
The area of the courtyard is not small, but there are no fallen leaves on the ground in the courtyard, obviously someone comes here often to clean.
"Xiao San, it seems that you have an extraordinary status in the Haotian Sect." Dai Mubai said with some envy.
In the Xingluo royal family, only the prince can enjoy a courtyard of this size. Dai Mubai used to live in a very small courtyard.
Tang San didn't say much and walked into the living room immediately.
For him, this is just the beginning, and there are still many things to be properly arranged.
Davis has been operating in the court for a long time, and it is completely unrealistic to want to overthrow him. Even with the support of the Haotian Sect, it won't work. They need an opportunity, even if they can create an opportunity.
...
After several days of discussion, the Haotian Sect finally agreed to give Ning Fengzhi some help.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was originally one of the top three sects, and it was not realistic for them to become a vassal sect of the Haotian Sect. But in their current situation, they can't come up with anything valuable.
However, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's innate business acumen is the foundation that helps them gain a foothold. Therefore, the Haotian Sect decided that after the reconstruction of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in the future, it needs to give up some of the industry's equity to the Haotian Sect. To put it bluntly, it means handing over a certain amount of profit.
If it was half a year ago, Ning Fengzhi would never agree to it. But now, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is at the end of the road, and Ning Fengzhi must compromise in exchange for a chance to breathe.
In the end, Tang San and others, with fruitful results, set out on the road home.
Next, just wait for the medicinal materials industry to stabilize, and Tang San will embark on the road to find the gods.
…
On the vast ocean, even a giant ship that is hundreds of meters long is like a small boat here.
The Sea Dragon was originally a fishing boat, and the sailing speed is not very fast. After a month of sailing, there is still a short distance from the outermost edge of the Demon Whale Sea.
Along the way, relying on the navigation map in Captain Chen Ping's mind, the Sea Dragon avoided the territories of powerful soul beasts one after another. During this period, they only encountered one attack by a thousand-year-old soul beast.
There were many soul masters in the crew, and they worked together to kill the thousand-year-old octopus. Even for a period of time afterwards, the crew on the ship were given extra meals.
"Sir, the fresh water resources on the ship are almost exhausted. I just checked the sea chart. There is a small island nearby that can replenish enough fresh water. Do you think we need to dock for a while?"
Water cannot be stored in the space of the Void Devouring Flame, so Han Yu did not bring much fresh water with him. Moreover, it may take him a long time to break through the divine body with the help of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The fresh water in his hand must not be used before leaving the Sea Dragon.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Now that he has come here, Han Yu does not need this little time.
"After staying on the boat for so long, it's time to go ashore and relax. Captain Chen Ping, you can make the arrangements. We will rest on the island for three days, and then you can send me to the outskirts of the Magic Whale Sea."
Hearing this, Chen Ping was delighted and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, I will make the arrangements right away."
When the ship is sailing on the sea, it is bumpy. Even experienced crew members cannot bear it for a long time. Imagine that if there are several earthquakes every day in the place where ordinary people live, can they still live well?
It is conceivable that the docking of the ship is a great joy for the crew. Under the guidance of Chen Ping, the outline of a small island soon emerged not far in front of the ship.
Many crew members also took this opportunity to take out their homemade navigation charts from their arms and marked the location of the island.
As the saying goes, a crew member who does not want to become a captain is not a good crew member. Before becoming a captain, Chen Ping also started as a crew member. And the sea chart is the treasure of these crew members and captains.
According to Chen Ping's recollection, he started sailing at the age of twelve and sailed for thirty years. During this period, he experienced countless dangerous situations before drawing a relatively complete sea chart. It is conceivable how difficult the process of drawing a sea chart is.
Looking at the island getting closer and closer, the crew members gathered on the deck, and everyone had a smile on their face.
According to the rules of the Haijiao, a party will be held every time the ship docks. The crew members in charge of food are working hard to move the cooking utensils out. After docking, they will immediately light a fire to cook.
The scene on the island can't help but evoke Chen Ping's memories, "Sir, this island is rich in a kind of green and yellow fruit. Twenty years ago, I had the honor to come here and taste it once. Unfortunately, this kind of fruit is very easy to rot after ripening, and it can't be transported to the shore at all."
The closer to the island, the slower the sailing speed of the Haijiao. Even a small boat was sent to open the way in front. Because not far from them, there was a ship bigger than them, stranded on the reef.
"This ship is estimated to have been stranded for more than ten years. I don't know if the group of unlucky people on the ship have been rescued." Chen Ping couldn't help feeling sad.
This place is far away from the land. If someone hadn't chartered the boat, they wouldn't have driven the boat here. The crew on the stranded ship is likely to be buried in this vast ocean.
With the small boat leading the way, the Haijiao docked safely.
Han Yu had no intention of celebrating with the crew. He turned around and wandered around the island.
There might be ancient ruins on the island in the deep sea. If we can find the wisdom of our ancestors from the ruins, this trip will be very rewarding.
We were here for sightseeing, so even if there were no ruins, it would be fine.
When passing by a "fruit tree" with green and yellow fruits, Han Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "The mysterious fruit that Chen Ping mentioned turned out to be a banana."
There are indeed no bananas in the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, so there is no unified name for bananas in the Douluo Continent.
Han Yu walked forward and was about to pick the bananas when he suddenly found that the bananas had been picked. In addition, there were human footprints around.
Even though gorillas and monkeys look similar to humans, their footprints are easy to distinguish. It has only been a short time since they landed, and the weather on this island was very good when they landed, with no signs of rain at all.
To leave such clear footprints, they must have been stepped on when it rained.
There are people on this island!
Han Yu was a little excited. Some ruins would be guarded by people for generations. But it is not ruled out that there are human settlements on the island. The presence of human settlements on deep-sea islands is most likely pirates.
