People are playing with luck in Douluo, and Zhu Zhuqing is intercepted at the beginning

Chapter 42 Planning
Wanjincheng, Earl's Mansion.

A simple-looking carriage stopped in front of the gate of a three-story building.

The carriage door opened, and a handsome young man with extraordinary bearing stepped out.

The clothes may appear to be simple, but they are actually made by specialized tailors and are extremely valuable.

This young man is naturally Dai Xiyu, who secretly left the city and traveled hundreds of miles.

Before Dai Xiyu could step forward, the guard of the Earl's Mansion came over and asked with a frown, "Who are you? What do you do in the Earl's Mansion?"

The guard's tone was not very polite. After all, the carriage Dai Xiyu rode was too ordinary.

Moreover, the clothes look very simple. He doesn't look like he is from a noble family. He is most likely a businessman in the town.

This Wanjin City is the territory of Count Iron Claw, and there are countless businessmen who want to come to ask for the Count's accommodation.

Even the doorkeepers will be flattered by businessmen, so they have the habit of being condescending to these businessmen who come to visit them.

Dai Xiyu didn't have the same knowledge as the guard, but silently took out a token and handed it to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"I'm here to see your count. Go and report."

The middle-aged guard took the token with confusion on his face. When he saw the word "Duke" written on it, his hands trembled with fright and he almost lost his grip on the token.

In an instant, the middle-aged man's expression changed from arrogance to compliment, and he said flatteringly: "Dear Duke, please wait a moment, I will report it immediately."

After saying that, he almost rolled around and walked in the door.

After a while, a panicked middle-aged man ran out.

This man had a fat head and was out of breath when he ran.At this time, his face was flushed and his clothes were disheveled. It was obvious that something had been interrupted.

Dukes are the highest-ranking nobles besides the royal family, and each one has great power.

The Earl of Iron Claw was two levels lower than the Duke, so naturally he did not dare to show any neglect. No matter what happened, he would stop and come out to greet him in person to show respect.

And just after Earl Iron Claw saw the people under the carriage.

His eyes suddenly widened, and the fat on his body couldn't help but tremble.

As an earl, he has joined the upper-class aristocratic circle, and he is also eligible to attend ordinary royal gatherings.

He naturally recognized the young man with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel in front of him.

In his mind, he recalled the horrific scenes he saw when he was in Xingluo City a few days ago.

Earl Ironclaw quickly bowed and was about to bow down.

Dai Xiyu, on the other hand, stepped forward and stopped the fat man's movements and sounds.

At the same time, he smiled and said: "No need to be polite, let's go in and talk."

Earl Iron Claw understood, nodded quickly, and led Dai Xiyu from the front.

Arriving at the reception room on the third floor dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, Dai Xiyu naturally sat at the head seat, while Earl Iron Claw ordered the servants to hurry up and prepare good refreshments.

Looking around, Dai Xiyu asked: "I remember, you should have a son, right? Is he in the house today?"

When Earl Iron Claw heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and sweat poured down his forehead.

He knelt on the ground with a plop and said tremblingly:

"Your Highness, please forgive me. My incompetent son was just... just bewitched. I didn't mean to target you. Your Excellency has a lot of..."

Dai Xiyu raised his hand to stop Earl Iron Claw from shouting injustice, shook his head and said:
"I'm not here to pursue him, but you should see the current situation clearly. I'm just here to give him a chance."

Hearing what Dai Xiyu said and considering Dai Xiyu's clothes, how could Earl Iron Claw not understand? He nodded immediately:
"Yes, yes, thank you for your generosity, Your Highness, I will call my useless son right now."

After that, not wanting to wait any longer, he turned around and ran out of the door.

Dai Xiyu waited quietly. Not long after, Duke Iron Claw opened the door and entered the house with a lean young man.Dai Xiyu turned his head and looked at the father and son, who were of extreme stature.

It can be said that Dai Xiyu is very familiar with that young man.

It was the most trusted confidant around Davis, named Qin Yang.

……

Staying at the Earl's Mansion from noon to afternoon, Dai Xiyu declined Earl Iron Claw's lunch invitation and went out to get on the carriage he came from.

In the carriage, when Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Xiyu returning, he immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Dai Xiyu turned back and closed the door, sat on the soft couch, and then said: "It's done. Davis really has a plan and has already planned to deal with us."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Then what should we do?"

Dai Xiyu smiled and said: "Let him shoot himself in the foot. Now that we have an insider, we just need to use the trick."

Seeing that Dai Xiyu was confident, Zhu Zhuqing felt relieved.

The carriage returned to the Duke's Mansion safely. In the next few days, Dai Xiyu remained the same as before, showing no special behavior.

Since Dai Xiyu traveled in secret when he went to Jincheng, in the eyes of outsiders, Dai Xiyu and Zhu Zhuqing had been bored in the Duke's Mansion for a month.

Seeing that the summer vacation of the college is coming to an end, there is a movement.

Just the day before the college started, Dai Xiyu deliberately asked Davis's "inside maid" in the Duke's Mansion to help prepare the carriage at noon.

He also told the maid that he and Zhu Zhuqing were going to Xingyao Forest to hunt soul beasts for actual combat training.

As expected, after the maid agreed openly, she secretly passed the news to another insider in the Earl's Mansion.

The other insider is the servant responsible for outbound purchases, and he is an agility and attack type soul master.

Within the time of a stick of incense, the insider passed the news directly to the palace.

At this time, Davis was preparing to have lunch in the eldest prince's bedroom.

After getting the news, he couldn't help but smile.

He raised his head, looked at Qin Yang across the dining table, and said, "It's been a month, and the opportunity has finally come."

Qin Yang's eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "Your Highness, shall I prepare now?"

Davis nodded and said: "Go and inform Dai Mubai, and remember to prepare 'witnesses'."

Qin Yang smiled knowingly and immediately turned around and left.

After Qin Yang left, Davis raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: "After this incident is over, this chess piece will no longer be needed..."

On the other side, Dai Xiyu, who had finished ordering the servants, had already sat at the dining table.

Different from the original world, the culture on Douluo Continent is a combination of East and West.

This dining habit is also different, not everyone eats the same table.

Instead, it’s a shared meal system, with one serving per person.

In this way, it will be much easier to do anything.

Dai Xiyu and Zhu Zhuqing sat in their seats, picked up their knives and forks, and deliberately ate their lunch so that the maid could see them.

According to the original plan, the maid would do something during the two's lunch.

However, Dai Xiyu, who knew the whole story, would not be fooled.

The medicine the maid got had been replaced with powdered sugar by him in advance.
