Chapter 62: The Gentleman's Covenant
This time the negotiations went surprisingly well, which was somewhat surprising. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A few people have just arrived, this Tuoba Hongji is also very polite, although the two sides are only meeting for the first time, but they have a very happy conversation, very compatible.
"By the way, I heard that Ru Chen also has a younger sister, what is going on today..."Long Yanran suddenly spoke.
Gow, no wonder I always feel that it is unnatural, now take a closer look, this is not, there are guests visiting, as the emperor's family is welcome, it should be a family, but at this time, how can there be a figure of Tuoba Jing.
Facing the eyes of several people in unison, shooting arrows one after another, it was obvious that Tuoba Hongji's face was stiff, as if he had been asked about the sore spot.
"The little girl has been frail and sick since she was a child, and she has unfortunately been contaminated with wind and cold in the past few days, so she can't come out to meet a few distinguished guests. As if she had seen Tuoba Hongji's difficulties, the princess opened her mouth to explain the reason.
"It's okay, I'm abrupt. Long Yanran returned the salute apologetically
"Hey, it's not a sin to those who don't know, come, drink tea. Tuoba Hongji held the teacup in his left hand and motioned for everyone to drink tea with his right hand, seemingly not wanting to talk more on this topic.
The next topics are all about the customs of the desert country, and several people only feel that they have benefited a lot from listening to it, and it is worth the trip.
"Tell us, King, about the hunting tournament. At this moment, a discordant voice sounded, but no one was disgusted, on the contrary, they were all curious.
Tuoba Hongji took in everyone's eyes before he spoke, "Okay." ”
"The hunt is a seven-day tournament where the winner is judged by who has the most beads. ”
He only made a start, but someone below had a flash of inspiration, as if a shock had passed by.
Shen Tao asked with interest, "It's a good idea to rank with beads, but I'm not afraid that some people with ulterior motives will fish in troubled waters?"
"Oh, especially since the reward is so generous this time, there will be people who are opportunistic. Lin Zixu supported his chin with his right hand, first looked at Shen Tao, and then turned his gaze to Tuoba Hongji.
Although Long Yanran and Xuandaofeng didn't say anything, they also looked at Tuoba Hongji with a puzzled look on their faces at this time.
It's just that I didn't think that the latter was an indifferent smile, "Hahahaha, what the two of you said is indeed very reasonable, but this competition is not an ordinary ordinary bead." ”
"Oh?" Long Yanran sat upright, this sentence seemed to have a great attraction, and it attracted everyone's attention for a while. ”
"These beads themselves do not have any magnetism, but for many years they have been placed in one place with magnetism and strong suction, and over time, they naturally have some weak magnetism, even if some people want to be opportunistic, they can only imitate their appearance, but not their essence. This was said by the princess, because she handled the beads from beginning to end.
"Then give us some more, don't you get it, what are you fighting for the first, and you will get your head broken and bleeding. Although Shen Tao was talking to himself, his voice was extremely soft.
It's just that in such a huge place, and everyone is dumb at this time, so his words that are not usually attractive seem very loud at this time.
"All the beads were used in this competition, so the inventory is not one, don't say that there is really no, even if there is, we can't do such a despicable thing, you must know that the reason why my Tuoba clan can become a desert royal family is because of what we say we will do. Tuoba Hongji's words were not visible, and he said very hard.
As some people say: the problem of the rich is not a problem, and the words of the successful will always be able to discern some truth.
Tuoba Hongji said that he was fair, just and open, but as for this approach, although it is somewhat contradictory to his remarks, it is also reasonable and unexpected.
"People don't stand without faith, the Tuoba clan is worthy of the name of the royal family," Xuan Daofeng said solemnly, and his face was also very sincere.
However, when he said this at this time, he was also secretly reminding the Tuoba clan that you are the royal family of the desert, so you must speak for yourself, otherwise who will be willing to serve you.
Long Yanran naturally understood the meaning, "Our group naturally lives up to the trust of King Tuoba." Then he held out his hand, "Please continue." He motioned for the other party to continue.
"The venue of this competition is in the wooded, steep terrain of the "Ten Thousand Forest", every contestant is not allowed to bring food into it, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the only thing you can live is the animals inside, remember, not all animals have a bead on their bodies. ”
"Playing and eating game at the same time is like enjoying life. It's no wonder that Shen Tao thinks so, because it's really beautiful, but it's just for people who go to kill time.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Long Yanran said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, I would like to remind you that everyone you meet during the tournament has the potential to become your allies, and of course more likely enemies. Tuoba Hongji looked at the people below with considerable interest.
"Maybe we're the ones who make the most enemies. At first glance, Lin Zixu's words were a little unpleasant, but after tasting it carefully, it was indeed such a reason.
When the family members are fighting and quarreling, they naturally want to kill the outsider who is likely to profit first.
Long Yanran and his party are undoubtedly outsiders in the desert, but they (they) have to participate in the competition of other locals, which will really attract some people's attacks, and if they (she) are not in the group, they will become the first target that everyone wants to eliminate.
"Since it's a game, it's nothing more than life and death except winning or losing, how can casualties be counted?" Shen Dong could be said to be in one sentence, pointing out the most critical place.
You must know that the formation is a way, what is important is the lethality of a large area, if killing people is not illegal, then although Long Yanran and Shen Dong are only two people this time, they are not without a chance of winning.
"Life and death are all fateful. I saw Tuoba Hongji say indifferently.
Think about it, as a tribe with such a strong folk customs, only after experiencing the test of life and death can it not be afraid of strong enemies.
"In this way, if there is a martial arts master, then he can kill people and seize treasures as long as he waits for the rabbit. Xuan Daofeng spoke on the side, but suddenly seemed to realize something, "No, if that's the case, then it is estimated that he will also be brushed down by a group of people first." ”
"Yes, so this competition is not only about force, but also about brainpower. Tuoba Hongji said, gesturing to his head.
Everyone chatted all morning until lunch, because tomorrow's afternoon is the first day of the hunting competition, in order to play at the best level, Tuoba Hongji let a few people go to recuperate.
Until Long Yanran and his party left, the huge palace became cold again, as if it was calm before the storm was coming.
However, these things are naturally not known to Long Yanran and his party who returned to their residence.
"Not true. Long Yanran and the five of them were walking, and a voice suddenly sounded, but they paused for a moment, and then said again and again, "No, no, no." ”
When the other four heard the movement, they all stopped and looked up.
