Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 70: He is Emperor
Hearing the name of the young man in front of him, the old man nodded with a friendly smile. It seemed as if he had a pretty good impression of Zhang Yu.
"Even though it no longer felt the effects of the ice and fire poison at this time, but it would relapse within a few days. How nice to get out of here." Zhang Yu gave his opinion to the nine people in front of him. Who would have thought the habit of reading books in the library would be very beneficial.
"This young man is right, Your Majesty, we must leave immediately. Not to mention if Song Wejin comes here, we won't be able to deal with it." A middle-aged woman said.
However, compared to listening to the woman's words. Zhang Yu focused on the appellation addressed to the old man.
"Your Majesty?" Eyes rounded.
The old man chuckled at Zhang Yu's shock.
"Right, who do you think I am? I am the Emperor of the Xuan Empire, Xuan Zou. She was Empress Ling Qiao. Then they were my other two wives Queen Ju Qianchen and Queen Yu Wen. They were generals, treasurers and eunuchs." The old man pointed his hand at the eight people around him.
Zhang Yu was completely unexpected. He had indeed come to the palace to meet with the emperor, but because of one thing or another all of that he had to undo. It was a coincidence that he even met the emperor in a room like this.
"Your Majesty, forgive this young man who is so disrespectful." Zhang Yu regretfully admitted his earlier remark was highly inappropriate towards an emperor.
However, Xuan Zou's response was so relaxed towards Zhang Yu. "It doesn't have to be. You saved me, and everything in here. We owe you our lives."
"As His Majesty said, you don't need to feel guilty. That's because you don't know" Empress Ling Qiao said.
This managed to make Zhang Yu have a good view of the imperial family. Despite their high and majestic identity, but still had such a low and clean heart.
"Your Majesty, it looks like someone is coming." General Zhao Yun, the man who was previously in the number one detention room stood looking at the passageway.
Xuan Zou raised his head. "General Zhao, you divert the stone that's there."
Zhao Yun did not know what his emperor wanted, but without asking much he did as he requested.
Recently moved, the hole looks downward only about twice the width of the body.
Zhang Yu squinted his eyes. It never occurred to him if the stone in the center of this room turned out to be a secret access point. Let alone Zhang Yu who had only been to the palace for the first time, even the three wives of the emperor and General Zhao Yun who had lived in the palace for decades also only knew the existence of the secret passage.
"We're down" Xuan Zou said then he went down first.
Ten people went into the hole alternately, Zhang Yu who became the last person pulled the stone to occupy his original position. Then he went down following the other nine people.
"Your Majesty, where will this secret passage take us?"
Xuan Zou walked over and pulled a lever on the wall. Soon things became bright with torches lined up.
They were in a spacious room still in the same shape. "It's not a path that can help us get out. But at least it's the safest place to hide right now."
"Here we will eliminate the poison of ice and fire. I hope you're willing to help us." Xuan Zou said as he glanced at Zhang Yu.
Of course this made Zhang Yu show a regretful look on his face. "Your Majesty, doing so is not impossible. But no ingredients needed here."
"Confidential room?" Everyone walked closer. Zhang Yu was no exception.
At first everyone thought it was just an ordinary secret room. But when getting into it, the eyes could not stop staring at the beautiful shelves full of resources.
"Your Majesty, does all this belong to the palace?" Ju Qianchen asked her husband.
Xuan Zou nodded. "of course. It belongs to the palace, belongs to the Xuan Empire. It could be said this was a relic from the previous Emperor, Father Emperor."
"Zhang Yu, you try to look inside the ingredients needed to neutralize the poison of ice and fire. I think everything must be inside" said the old man who entered first.
Zhang Yu actually walked into the room full of resources, he looked from corner to corner and it was simply incredible.
But even though all that looks attractive in his eyes, but once again his physical condition makes him aware. In addition, for now there is no other concern but to find the materials needed to neutralize the poison of ice and fire.
Actually Zhang Yu had also never healed anyone who was exposed to the poison of ice and fire. But from the books he had read, there were some resources that could absorb two opposing forces. If it obtained those resources, the possibility of neutralizing the poison of ice and fire was no longer just nonsense.
However, to what extent Zhang Yu moved, there was not a single resource that possessed such a trait.
"Hows it? Is there not?" Xuan Zou displayed a complicated expression. He held onto his chin, then walked over to one of the shelves.
Hem...
"It seems that behind here there is also," he muttered as he moved the tak.
Sure enough, behind the shelf that was leaning against the wall it turned out to also store resources.
Zhang Yu noticed the line of resources that were there, then his eyes were fixed on the round fruit with the size of three fists. It is red in color and there are several fin-like parts of the same color but there is a slight greenishness at the ends.
Dragon fruit?!
It didn't take long for Zhang Yu to find out the fruit before his eyes. Without saying much he took the dragon fruit and walked out of the room.
Xuan Zou looked at Zhang Yu, his eyes momentarily staring at the fruit the young man had brought before him. "What is the material to neutralize the poison of ice and fire?"
Although he knew that the dragon fruit had extraordinary properties, but Xuan Zou did not know at all that the fruit could neutralize the poison of ice and fire.
"That's not certain, Your Honor. First thing we should try."
Xuan Zou momentarily fell silent at Zhang Yu's reply. Though at first he thought that Zhang Yu had the confidence to neutralize the poison of ice and fire. But now he says he will try.
Hem...
"All right." After all if it were to be thought back Zhang Yu couldn't possibly have ill intentions towards him. If he had bad intentions he would not bother to help him while dying inside the prison room.
After returning the room as it was, Xuan Zou sat cross-legged in front of Zhang Yu. "I believe you, we can try."
