Chapter 641: Offering a Bo Gift
Cheng Qianxun was anxious in his heart, but he could only wait for news. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yanchen has been sent, hoping to find out the news of Lagassi, otherwise the army of the Three Kingdoms will be able to defeat Rudolph if it gets out of control.
Therefore, it is better to raise these 30,000 horses than to easily lead troops over.
After eating, Cheng Qianxun asked people to arrange for Regel to rest, and he lay down to sleep early. Things have come to this point, what's the use of being in a hurry.
The next morning, there was news that Ragassi had indeed been arrested by Rudolph, and the three ministers had arrived at Uluna and began to admonish Rudolph. It is not known what the result of the admonition will be, for the letter was sent from Uluna last night, and it arrived in the same night.
Cheng Qianxun jumped up when he heard the news and walked back and forth anxiously. Rudolph has always been ruthless, and when he loses his memory, he may do terrible things. And he is cunning and spicy, how can Lagassi, who is only twenty years old, be his opponent.
Soon after, another letter came, signed by three ministers, and it was said in a very good way, as if everything was under control, so that the queen could rest assured and wait to hear their good news.
The words of people cannot be fully believed in the first place, and the words of Yanchen cannot be believed.
The maid walked in and said that breakfast was ready, so she was waiting for Cheng Qianxun to eat, and Legel had already gone over to wait. Regel, like the rest of his teammates, is full of energy, and six hours of sleep a day is enough, and eight hours is enough. At this time, Lagassi fell into the hands of Rudolph, who could endure it for three days and three nights, and he did not know what would happen.
Sitting on the mat to eat, Cheng Qianxun was shouted several times by Legel before coming back to his senses.
"Is it for the sake of Lagassi? I've heard about it. Regel asked, a little sour in his tone.
"The news has been spreading fast, you're right, I'm so worried." Cheng Qianxun was straightforward and did not shy away from it: "His wife just came to the news that she is pregnant, and I still hide it from her and dare not tell the truth." Ragassi is my most powerful minister, without him, I have to do everything by myself, I don't worry about others doing it, and I can't do it well if I change people, I hope that this half month's tax money will not be swallowed by anyone. ”
When Regel heard about money, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Rudolph and tied up the ministers of other people.
News came again, this time with Yanchen's letter and Rudolph's messenger.
Cheng Qianxun immediately made a choice: "Let the messenger in." ”
The messenger walked in, with a slightly roasted clay tablet in his hand, which was set in shape and not easily changed.
When he walked in, he proudly picked up the clay tablet and began: "To the Queen of Ekash, your minister Ragassi is now my guest... "It's still Rudolph's style that is better, unlike other kings, who say a lot of words just by title, and only then do they get down to business.
The messenger continued to read while holding the clay tablet: "It is said that the other three kingdoms have gathered their armies, and this king does not want to cause strife, so I invite the queen to go to Ulu for that time, and I would like to give you a small gift, please smile." ”
When he had finished reading, the messenger removed the linen pouch that hung from his wrist and gave it to the maid who was beside him. The maid respectfully held it and placed it on Cheng Qianxun's clay table.
Cheng Qianxun looked at this linen pouch, which was only half the size of a palm, and there were dark red stains on it.
Legel glared at the maid, "What are you doing, open it, let's see what the king of Uluna has sent." ”
This is afraid of poison, Rudolph is insidious and cunning, and has to be guarded against.
The maid picked up the cloth bag, untied the hemp rope on it, opened the cloth bag, looked inside, and immediately screamed and threw it to the side.
"What's going on?" Cheng Qianxun frowned slightly.
The maid's face turned pale, and she stammered back, "Yes, it's a finger, a human finger... ”
What the? Cheng Qianxun suddenly understood something, stood up, and walked over. The chief maid was more sophisticated, and had already squatted down to pick up the cloth bag and handed it to her.
When he opened the bag and took out the finger, he heard the messenger say coldly: "Today is the finger, if the queen does not go for a day, then next time it will be the whole hand, and then the arm." There are so many things that can be cut on his face! The sooner the queen leaves, the less he will be offended. ”
Regel jumped up suddenly: "Believe it or not, I'm going to cut you off a section and send it to your master?" ”
If you want to be a messenger, you must first be bold, and this time the faction is naturally even more fearless, putting personal life and death out of the way. He sneered contemptuously: "Cut as long as you are happy." But I'm inferior, even if I cut it and send it back, my master won't feel anything, and I don't think it's ruthless enough. ”
Seeing that the messenger was so arrogant, in order to please Cheng Qianxun and make her angry, Regel grabbed the knife on the table to cut meat, walked over, and pinched the other party's shoulder: "Okay, your master cut off one of Ragasi's fingers, and I will cut off two of you." If your master dares to cut him, I will pay it back twice. ”
The messenger closes his eyes and turns his head to the side of his head in contempt.
Originally, Cheng Qianxun was dizzy in front of her, and Rudolph actually cut off Lagassi's finger in order to tell her to go. At this point, he had recovered a little, and something had to be done to save Ragassi's life.
Seeing Regel drag the messenger to the clay table, grab his hand and press it against the table, and was about to do it, she shouted, "Slow! ”
Regel's hand that raised his knife was temporarily put down, after all, this is Ekash, and out of reason and politeness, the queen has the final say.
"Did it work for you to cut him? He just did what he was told, and if he died, he would be relieved, otherwise his family would suffer. For the sake of his wife, children, and parents, no matter what happens, he must be a ninja. She pinched Ragassi's fingers, slowly walked back behind the clay table, and sat down. Looking at the messenger whose hands were still pressed against the table, he asked calmly and gently, "Did I say that?" ”
The messenger looked at her, and only replied after a while. The tone was obviously less swaggering: "The queen is right. ”
"Okay!" Cheng Qianxun raised his finger and turned it: "Well, it's the little finger, and a man missing a little finger is nothing." Anyway, he's useless, and it doesn't matter if his hands and feet are gone. ”
Casually tossing his fingers on the table, he picked up a piece of meat and took a small bite. Looking at the messenger who looked a little surprised, he pointed to the basin: "After running all night, you should be hungry, take some food, you're welcome." Give him some more wine! ”
Since life doesn't matter, what's polite. Although the queen behaved a little strangely, she was also caring, knowing that he was tired and hungry after a night's journey. So the messenger took the basin and devoured the meat.
"Recorder, remember." Cheng Qianxun slowly gnawed on the meat while thinking: "Reply like this, the small gift you gave was originally my country's." The recent prosperity of Ekasha has made me too busy with official business to visit you, so I have sent the idle official Ragassi here and there to show my friendliness. The other three kingdoms gathered their armies just to cooperate in the exercises, why should the king of Uruna worry, I told them to let them retreat. As for Ragasi, after all, he is my envoy, and I hope that he will be treated well and that he will return to Ekash as soon as possible. I am a woman, thin-skinned, and I can't stand being wronged, otherwise I can only ask reinforcements to go over and ask for compensation; If a man dies, he will attack the city without any consultation. King Mingjian of Uluna! ”
The recorder wrote two clay tablets, put them on a special shovel, and roasted them on the spot.
Seeing that the messenger couldn't lift his head after eating, Cheng Qianxun asked him, "Did you send this letter back, or did I send someone to send it back?" ”
The messenger chewed the meat in his mouth and said indistinctly: "Me! ”
"Then send it later, and tell your king that I was having breakfast when it was delivered, and that this ridiculous prank will not be played in the future. It really annoys me ... Cheng Qianxun almost gritted his teeth and said: "I won't help him anymore, he wants to die." ”
"Uh-huh." The messenger bowed his hands to the left and right, and he was too late to speak, and nodded in a nasal voice.
In order to let the messenger speak well when he returned, Cheng Qianxun turned his head sideways and ordered: "Go and prepare some food and let him take it away." The road will be bumpy, so try to bring some slightly dry slices of meat. ”
Dry slices of meat, a slice stuffed in the mouth can chew for a longer time, and it is easier to withstand hunger than dry food. The messenger swallowed the meat in his mouth, took two steps back, and bowed to the ground in thanks: "Thank you for your generosity, Queen Ekash. ”
"No thanks, it's not easy for you. I hope Uluna won't embarrass my fancy minister, I have nothing to do, but I can't lose face. "Cheng Qianxun spent a few pieces of meat, he was a good person, don't underestimate the messenger, the suspicious Rudolph may ask a few more questions when he goes back, and the words of this messenger may be able to play a great role.
The letter was wrapped in a cloth and was still a little hot, and the dried clay board was respectfully withdrawn.
After seeing it, Regel smiled and shook his head: "The queen is really good-tempered, if it were me, I would definitely kill him." ”
"What's the use of killing him?" Cheng Qianxun picked up the little finger of Ragasi on the clay table, and his heart, which he had thought was numb, throbbed slightly.
The chief maid next to him reminded: "Queen, there is also a letter from Yanchen." ”
"Read it!" Cheng Qianxun said viciously, and the way he looked up and glanced at it made the recorder tremble.
It is still a good thing to say, that after their persuasion, the king of Uruna has considered letting Lagassi go, and continue to live in peace with the four countries and prosper together.
Cheng Qianxun finally couldn't hold back any longer, stood up suddenly, grabbed a pottery bowl, lifted it and smashed it to the ground.
The bowl was torn apart on the ground with a crisp sound, and the recorder did not dare to finish the rest of the sycophants.
"Do they think they're too smart, or do they think me and King Uruna are too stupid?" Cheng Qianxun was so angry that he was furious in front of Regel, and vented all the anger and anxiety that had been held back for a long time: "Lagassi's fingers have been sent back, and if they go to persuade him a few more words, maybe his head can come back!" Write to them and tell them that there is no need to persuade them, that it does not matter to Lagassi, that the king of Uruna knows what he should do. As for the three of them, stay with the king of Uruna and be courtiers who can only eat dry food and pat their ass! (To be continued.) )
