Chapter 398 Heir King
Mosi's avatar, An Xuehai, asked: "The king of Zhou Guojia who claims to be adrift at sea for the rest of his life?"
"Ahem."
The receptionist coughed, and if he didn't deny it, he admitted it.
Xia Yuanjia's story is very famous even in Yu State.
His father was the Prince of Zhou,
His two direct brothers, one died of illness when he was a child, and the other was paralyzed when he fell from a horse when he was young, and only his head could move.
According to the order of succession, he became the heir who could inherit the title of prince.
The death or serious injury of the heir is very common even in Yu State.
In an environment where medical care is underdeveloped, even a small traumatic wound can cause serious consequences.
According to conventional logic, Xia Yuanjia should happily take over the title of heir king, and wait quietly for the future succession to prince.
But he doesn't.
He heard some crazy words from a feng shui master, and felt that the two elder brothers were cursed, and if he stayed in the Zhou Kingdom, he would die as well.
So, he claimed to go to the overseas fairy island to find an antidote for his paralyzed elder brother.
This search lasted for ten years.
During ten years, he stayed in different sea ships, sailed around, and never set foot on land.
Don't inherit the princely title, but insist on drifting at sea.
Xia Yuanjia's weird behavior has always been the topic of conversation at the dinner table of ordinary people in Zhou Guo.
Two rooms away, the sound of arguing is still clear.
A calm male voice said: "Silang, the palace really needs you. The prince's health is getting weaker, Erlang left early, and Saburo has been paralyzed in bed and needs to be taken care of.
Now Dalang fell off his horse again and is sick in bed. "
Xia Yuanjia said in astonishment: "Ah? How is the elder brother? I read the letter saying that he fell off his horse during the spring hunting, but I don't know how serious it is."
Another male voice said solemnly: "I have been on the hospital bed for a while, and it is much better than before. But the doctor said that there is still a possibility that my legs are out of balance and I will need to rely on crutches to walk in the future.
Shiro, you must go back now, the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot live without you. "
“.”
Xia Yuanjia was silent for a long time, "Fifteen days."
The calm male voice said: "What?"
"Give me another 15 days. When I left home, I said that I would find a magic medicine that could cure paralysis for my third brother. After another 15 days, it will be ten years."
Xia Yuanjia said: "Fifteen days later, when the Sea Charm returns from the sea, I will return to Zhou Kingdom with you."
The dignified male voice said: "But."
Xia Yuanjia suddenly raised his voice, "No but! This is my decision. Please go back, both of you."
Prince Zhou, curse, succession.
When these words are put together, it is easy to think of conspiracy theories.
Mosi's avatar, An Xuehai, stood there as if she hadn't heard anything,
The receptionist was a little embarrassed—after all, the VIP had a conflict on the ship, and it was not good to spread the word.
"Here are your keys."
The receptionist untied a brass key from the key plate, handed it to An Xuehai, and said, "Dinner will start in two quarters of an hour. You can go to the hall to eat, or you can ask the servants to serve you the meal." bring it here.
I will always be at the reception at the end of the aisle. If you have any questions, you can find me. "
"Okay, trouble."
After the doors were closed, the two moss clones looked at each other and did not disintegrate directly. Instead, they opened and saluted like normal people, packed their personal items, pretended to be casual, and pressed a hand on the wall.
With this press, some ink-colored threads quietly penetrated into the wall.
This is room 13, and on the left is room 11 where Su Xinghuo lives. Xia Yuanjia, who heard the roar just now, is next door, which is room 9.
The ink-colored silk thread drilled into the walls of rooms 13 and 11, cautiously probing forward,
Then I saw the black cat demon lying on the double bed in Room 11.
Since Su Xinghuo is in Room 9 now,
The door of Room No. 11 is locked tightly, and there is no one in the room. The black cat demon is lying on the silk bed sheet, flipping through books and magazines like a human being.
Can't go any further.
A vague premonition made Li Ang stop Mosi's continuous drilling, and did not further test the vigilance range of the cat demon.
Zhou Guojia and Wang Xia Yuanjia seem to be close friends with Zhou Xinghuo? The latter was able to board this ship because of the former?
Mosi maintained her surveillance on the cat demon, distracted herself, and listened carefully to the indistinct conversation in Room 9.
"well"
Xia Yuanjia let out a long sigh, his handsome face was exhausted, he plopped into the chair, and covered his forehead with his hands.
"King Jia?"
The round-faced boy Su Xinghuo looked at his decadent friend with some concern.
"Just call me Yuan Jia. We are friends, and I am not the heir of your Yu Kingdom."
Xia Yuanjia was silent for a moment, and asked, "Xinghuo, are we friends?"
"certainly!"
Su Xinghuo's face turned serious, "Jia Wangdian cough, Yuan Jia, you have been kind to me. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get back the remaining Su family's ancestral property."
"The same goes for you. If it weren't for you, who was still a doctor on the boat at the time, I would have died of poisoning at sea three years ago."
Xia Yuanjia smiled wryly and said: "Xinghuo, everyone in the world regards me as a lunatic who refused the title of prince, but I really didn't lie.
What happened to my two biological elder brothers was by no means an accident.
I can feel that there are a pair of invisible hands fiddled with our fate, tightening the twisted rope around my neck bit by bit.
I am afraid of death, and even more afraid of dying inexplicably,
So much so that I am willing to drift at sea for ten years, and survive the time limit that the Feng Shui master told me.
Even the cabin where they lived was built as a closed chamber.
The windows in your room can all be opened outwards. My window is specially made, integrated with the wall, and has no opening function.
There is no gap under the door.
There are three unique locks in the middle of the door, which are almost impossible to pick. Once you try to break or pick the lock violently, the siren will be triggered.
In addition to this, there are also alarm symbols for different types, and alarm symbols for thoughts and spells.
As long as there are unreasonable aura fluctuations in the room, the alarm will also be triggered.
I trust no one, neither the crew of this ship,
It was the person sent by the two palaces just now to pick me up and go back to Zhou Kingdom.
I only trust you. "
Xia Yuanjia paused for a moment, looked at Su Xinghuo and said seriously: "If something happens to me on this ship, can you rescue me like you did three years ago?"
Facing his friend's request, Su Xinghuo nodded heavily, "Definitely."
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Xia Yuanjia finally showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "In another fifteen days, when the time limit for the curse that the Feng Shui master told me is reached, I will be able to return to Zhou Kingdom, marry a wife and have children, and inherit the title."
