After returning to the prime minister's residence, Lu Xunhuan asked Yun Zhongzi to go and rest.

Then he closed the door and took out two golden hoops from his arms.

He placed the one he had taken back from the monkey's head on the table, and then took the other one in his hand and peeled off the layers of cloth.

After a while, he took the two golden hoops in his hands, placed them in front of his eyes, and compared them.

Yes, they are exactly the same, no matter the shape, size, or even the faint tiny runes on the golden hoop, they are exactly the same.

After looking at it for a while, he put the two golden hoops together again.

After a while, the golden light became so bright that people could not open their eyes. The two golden hoops merged in the shining light.

After a while, everything returned to calm.

Lu Xunhuan held the golden hoop and felt it.

He could clearly feel that the power contained in the golden hoop was greater than before.

This means that every time it is combined, it becomes stronger than before.

But, how many golden hoops are there in this world?

His first one came inexplicably, and no one knew where it came from.

Where did the one belonging to the young master of the Immortal Friends Association come from?

Today, he found one in the Nanliang National Treasury.

So where did it come from, who discovered it before, and who stored it in the treasure house?

Everything is like a mystery.

He felt it for a moment, and the golden hoop suddenly trembled.

He immediately discovered that he had actually read the properties of the golden hoop.

This has never happened before.

He only knew that the golden hoop could be used as a magic weapon to carry him flying, and he only knew that when he held it in his hand while practicing, it could speed up his absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

But he never knew the detailed properties of the golden hoop.

When the three golden hoops merged into one, he suddenly discovered that he could read the properties of the golden hoops.

Could it be that at least three golden hoops must be combined before the golden hoop can be fully activated?

Golden Hoop Attribute 1: Flying Speed, Level 3.

The second attribute of the golden hoop: the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is increased by 300%.

Golden Hoop attribute three: Fire resistance, full.

Golden Hoop Attribute Four: Water resistance, full.

Currently, the golden hoop has only these four attributes, nothing else.

After Lu Xunhuan read the properties of the golden hoop, he wrapped the golden hoop with cloth again.

At present, his strength is not strong enough and he must be cautious.

He had never known how much the speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased when he practiced while holding the golden hoop.

After reading the properties today, he guessed that when he first obtained the golden hoop, holding it could speed up the absorption of spiritual energy by 100%.

After seizing the second golden hoop and fusing them, the golden hoop can help him increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy by 200%.

Now that the three golden hoops are combined together, the effect can be increased by 300%.

He sat down cross-legged, breathed in and out, and began to practice.

After a moment, he understood. Sure enough, now holding the golden hoop, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was indeed much faster than before.

He practiced quietly for a while, and Li Susu called him from outside the door.

"Prime Minister, it's time to eat."

Lu Xunhuan opened his eyes, stood up, and went to open the door.

He whispered to Li Susu, "How is she?"

Li Susu nodded slightly: "I'm very patient. I don't have any problem staying at home all day."

Lu Xunhuan instructed: "Take good care of her life."

After lunch, Lu Xunhuan went to the study, ready to practice quietly for another afternoon.

At night, I went to the palace again to see how much water had been drained from Jingming Lake.

But he had just sat there for a while when Li Susu came and knocked on the door and said, "Prime Minister, there is a guest."

Lu Xunhuan stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door stood Minister Yu.

But Lu Xunhuan almost didn't recognize him because of what he was wearing.

He was wearing a tattered hat with a low brim that almost covered half of his face.

He was wearing a patched and dirty outfit.

He let Minister Yu in and then closed the door.

"You're doing this secretly. What's so important that you have to come to my house to tell me?"

Minister Yu took off his hat and placed it on the desk. "You must be under close scrutiny by the Crown Prince. I have no choice but to dress up as a ragpicker."

He took off his patched clothes again and said, "When I go out later, find some rags to take with me."

Lu Xunhuan shouted to the outside of the door, "Make some tea."

Li Susu answered from outside the door and went to make tea.

Minister Yu sat down at his desk. "A lot of people have been looking for you these days, haven't they?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "That's impossible. Who would dare to come during this sensitive period? No one else but you."

Minister Yu smiled and said, "Don't hide it from me, Prime Minister. Before you came to Yingzhou City, I recommended you to His Majesty many times."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I heard about it from Admiral Guan. Thank you, Prime Minister."

Minister Yu sighed, "I have been an official in Yingzhou City for thirty years. I have watched the Crown Prince grow from a brat to an old brat."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "From what the Minister said, it seems that he doesn't like the Crown Prince very much?"

Minister Yu stroked his beard and said, "Prime Minister, you can trust my loyalty and patriotism."

Lu Xunhuan nodded again: "I believe it."

Minister Yu shook his head. "Your Majesty is a good one, a wise ruler. But if he dies and the Crown Prince takes the throne, everyone knows that Southern Liang will have a tyrant ruler."

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "Sir, aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty about this?"

Minister Yu also smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is a disciple of an ancient sage. He has a noble character that is unmatched by ordinary people. Even if you disagree with what the old man says, you will not speak ill of him in front of His Majesty. I am confident of this."

At this moment, Li Susu's voice came from outside the door: "Prime Minister, the tea is ready."

Lu Xunhuan stood up, opened the door, and brought in the tea.

Li Susu consciously closed the door.

Lu Xun Huan returned to the desk and poured tea for Minister Yu. "Sir, just tell me straight away, what are you going to do?"

Yu Shangshu said: "The military power of the Imperial Guard is in your hands. Together, we can give Southern Liang a wise ruler, let the people of Southern Liang live a better life, and let the national strength of Southern Liang continue to grow."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Which wise ruler are you talking about?"

Minister Yu picked up the tea and took a sip: "Liang Jie."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "So you are from the group that Concubine De is in."

Minister Yu put down his teacup and said, "I'm not supporting Liang Jie blindly. If Liang Jie had no future, I would never support him."

Lu Xun Huan said, "I believe this. The Shangshu is selfless and dedicated to the Southern Liang."

Yu Shangshu asked, "How about this? Can we join forces?"

Lu Xun Huan also picked up the tea and took a sip. "But your majesty wants stability and no chaos. How can I go against your majesty's wishes?"

Minister Yu said, "So you're going to watch helplessly as a tyrant takes power?"

Lu Xun Huan put down his teacup and said, "Don't be impatient, Minister. There are more people who want to fight for the throne than just Concubine De and Prince Jie. Let's wait and see what happens, okay?"

Yu Shangshu smiled and said, "Just your words are enough."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What do you mean?"

Minister Yu picked up his teacup again and said, "Let's wait and see how things develop."
