"What do you mean, sir!?" The master pretended to be puzzled and asked the adult.

The adult smiled and said, "Master is not a foolish person, he should understand it very well, didn't he hear it clearly, then I repeat, our monarch likes unique things, unique, understand, understand, know what is unique?" ”

"What is unique?"

"That is, if you die, you will not be able to make such beautiful gold objects again!"

"Your !!, my lord"

The master took a few steps back in panic and looked at the man in front of him, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Don't look at me like that," the lord said slowly, "That's not what I meant, if you want to blame your own craftsmanship, it's too good to be taken by our monarch, but the monarch doesn't want to see the treasure he wants, and it may appear somewhere else, so ......"

"So, I'm dead, it's safest!?" The master seemed to be asking, but his tone was very affirmative.

The adult smiled and said, "That's true, I can only blame you for being born at the wrong time." ”

There are several truths in the words of adults, and sometimes, talent may not be able to show, and even if it is shown, it may not be glorious, but may lead to death.

For example, Master's case is a very typical example.

In terms of gold casting, he obviously has extraordinary skills, but because he met the monarch of Miao Jiang here in Miao Jiang, he fell into such a situation where his life was in danger.

If he hadn't been born in this era, or if he hadn't been born in Miaojiang, perhaps the master would have become famous a long time ago with his own income and become a gold casting master admired by everyone.

Even though it was in a dream, Nan Kaoru felt deep regret for the master.

The master also seemed to know his situation, sighed and said, "Is there no other way?" ”

"What do you think will be done, you don't know the temper of the king. But I know very well, I don't dare to just let you go, if it happens in the future, I will lose my head. ”

Master gritted his teeth. Meng Di got up and picked up the file from the stove.

This sudden change, the adult is naturally not too nervous, his energy is bigger, this little incident. Not enough to make him panic.

Besides, he also believed that the master didn't dare to do anything to him, as for why, it was very simple, because the lives of the master's family were still pinched by him.

Although it was in a dream, Nan Xun still wondered if he didn't understand what Master Dashun was going to do, and he was ready to catch this adult. Trade him for the lives of his own family.

Such a plan is unlikely to succeed, looking at the figure and pace of adults, it should be a person who has practiced martial arts, how can he be subdued by a person like the master who doesn't even know how to do shallow martial arts.

Unless it is an adult who releases water, but how can it be, an adult also works for the king, and if he releases water, as just said. If he really released the water, then if the monarch knew about it, his own life would definitely not be easy.

The so-called companion is like a tiger. If you do exactly what the monarch wants, you may not be able to get the monarch's appreciation, not to mention that if you don't follow his will, I am afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied.

However, the development of things after that was beyond Nan Kaoru's imagination. I saw the master holding a file and inserting it hatefully into the index finger of his right hand.

In an instant, blood filled the table.

At this scene, Nan Kaoru felt extremely sorry in her dreams.

As a craftsman, he relied on his own dexterous hands, and now, the master did not hesitate to abolish his right hand, which undoubtedly ruined his future future.

And the master has such a good skill, if it is so wasted, it will not be a pity.

Nan Kaoru wanted to stop it, but no matter how hard she tried, it was useless, after all, she was just dreaming, but she couldn't participate in the development and plot of the story in the dream.

She wanted to tell Master Sù not to do this, but it was useless to shout, the master couldn't hear her at all, and wanted to stop it, and he didn't even know where he was, let alone stop it.

Of course, Kaoru herself didn't know that she was in a dream, she just knew that she had been trying to stop it, but it didn't work.

The story in the dream still has to go on and develop, and after the master filed off his index finger, his face was expressionless, as if he didn't feel any pain.

It seems that the master's endurance is extraordinary, but if you think about it, you can understand that he is a gold-casting master, and he will inevitably be burned in normal times, so he has developed such a strong endurance little by little.

What's more, now is the time when his life is at stake, how can he still have the heart to care about these pains.

The master covered his hands and said to the adults, "Are you satisfied with this?" I cut off my index finger, and since then I have not been able to make beautiful gold objects, let alone lions like this golden lion. ”

The adult also hesitated for a long time, nodded slightly and said: "I didn't expect you to be so decisive, Master, you can not blame me, since you can ruthlessly cut off your index finger, I can't embarrass Master anymore, you can go and see your family." ”

Adults know that for a craftsman, if one finger is missing, there will be a lot less accuracy and meticulousness when making things, and the things made will not be as exquisite as before, and may not even be comparable to ordinary objects.

Because this is missing a finger, the carving knife is unstable to hold, and the hammer is not good at controlling the strength, how can the things created in this way be so good.

Master's decision can be regarded as a lot of ruthlessness, like a gecko with a broken tail, in order to protect itself.

And this trick is indeed useful, since the king does not want him to make such a lion again, he simply cut off his finger, so that he can't do it, it is much better than being captured by adults and losing his life.

I believe that the adults will also tell the monarch what happened today, and the monarch will naturally not hold the master accountable, because the monarch is very busy and should not have time to ask about such trivial matters.

Just arrange for the adults to deal with it, and at most ask in passing, this is the second such lion in the world.

The adults will also tell the monarch that he will never come out again, because the master's finger has been broken.

No matter how brutal the monarch is, he will not say, no. You have to kill him to be relieved.

Therefore, the master did this, taking retreat as advance, and breaking his fingers to continue his life. But he invested a lot of money to win the trust of adults.

Fortunately, he made the right bet, and this adult didn't have to kill him, as long as he couldn't make such a thing again. I won't care about anything anymore.

The master covered his fingers and walked outside the door, looked at the guards outside and sighed, and the figure disappeared outside the courtyard.

Naturally, the adults didn't pay attention to him, but turned their heads to look at the golden lion and said, "For you, I've been scared for the past few days, but now it's okay, come with me to see the king." ”

He then put the golden lion in the box. Take the box and go to meet the king.

Nan Xun's dream instantly became extremely dark, and he could only hear the sound of a few people chatting, horses' hooves, and footsteps, and all the way this dream was black, and nothing could be seen.

After waiting for about an hour, Nan Xun's dream suddenly lit up, and a big hand reached into the box. Grabbed the golden lion out.

Nan Xun suddenly found that the golden lion had arrived in the palace, and in the palatial palace, there were only a few people standing.

And the one who holds the golden lion. Dressed gorgeously, with a majestic face, it seems that there is still a little anger, this appearance should be the monarch of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom - Yang Ganzhen.

This name is on the way to the city of Yang Tho. Nan Xun heard that he didn't mention it much, so he remembered it.

Before, he didn't know who the name of the monarch of Dayining was, let alone his appearance, but now she could clearly see the monarch's appearance.

As people often say, the face can see a person's character, Nan Xun thinks that Yang Ganzhen's appearance shows that he is a master who is not easy to mess with, not to mention cruel by nature, but above the face, he definitely looks very angry, and his temper should not be very good.

Such a person also sat in the position of the monarch, no wonder the person just now said that he didn't dare to let the master go without permission.

After a few glances, Yang Ganzhen said: "Well, yes, yes, it's a good thing, what about Master Casting Gold!?" ”

"Returning to the king," said the previous adult, "his index finger was accidentally scalded off by gold water when he was making a golden lion, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do gold work again." ”

"Huh!?" Yang Ganzhen said, "That's really careless, it's a pity, it's a pity that he works for me like this, he should be rewarded more, hahahaha, reward him with a hundred taels of gold." ”

"Yes."

Although Yang Ganzhen said it well, it was a pity, but he actually laughed on his face, what a pity this is, he is obviously happy.

It is estimated that the emperor thinks that the adult has done a good job in this matter, so Yang Ganzhen said: "Well, Siping, you have done a good job in this matter, say, what reward do you want!?" ”

The man known as Siping said, "Returning to the king, it is my duty to serve you, how dare I say anything about reward." ”

"Hahaha," Yang Ganzhen said, "Well, this gentleman wants to come to reward and punish clearly, since he has merit, he should be rewarded, I also saw this golden lion, it is very good, and I will reward you." ”

Siping hurriedly returned: "Don't dare, this is dedicated to you, how dare the lower officials ......"

"I want it," Yang Ganzhen looked at the golden lion repeatedly and said, "But I've already got it, and it's also a matter of rewarding my important ministers." ”

It can be seen that this Yang Ganzhen is really a capricious and inscrutable person, for the sake of this golden lion, in order to make it unique, Yang Ganzhen did not hesitate to force the previous gold casting master to cut off his fingers to survive.

And now I got it, just a few glances, and then I casually gave it to others.

I don't cherish it at all, and I don't even have a trace of expression, as if it's normal.

In fact, it is also true, for a monarch, he can get what he wants, throw it away if he wants, and he can throw it away casually, and he doesn't have to care about other people's feelings at all.

What is this, this is the right and status, this is the privilege of those in power, they can do whatever they want, no one dares to say no, especially, the monarch is still a person like Yang Ganzhen, moody, people can't figure it out and guess.

Of course, this is also a kind of imperial art, ordinary people say, unpredictable king's heart, not only means not to guess the king's mind, but also to let you know that the emperor's mind is impossible to guess.

Only in this way can the majesty of the emperor be guaranteed, if any person can guess it, then you, the emperor, have no prestige at all.

Nan Xun also understood these imperial techniques, but she didn't expect that Yang Ganzhen and Mingzong in Luoyang City were so different, Mingzong was an emperor close to the people, so when Nan Xun was in Luoyang City, she never felt any anxiety, and there was no tense atmosphere in Luoyang City.

But in Yangtho City, Nan Xun turned around for about a long time, and he could feel that the city seemed to be a little dull, as if everyone was cautious in their words and deeds, and the neighbors rarely talked to each other.

A depressing atmosphere made her feel that she was glad that she chose to live by the Erhai Sea instead of living in the city.

Even at this time, Nan Xun could feel from the person who was called Siping by Yang Ganzhen that he was very uneasy, he didn't understand what the emperor meant, and he didn't dare to respond.

I don't understand what the emperor means, this Siping can only be silent, Nan Xun is also thinking, who is Siping, constantly recalling in his mind, and remembering little by little.

It seems that I have heard this name before, but the name is not these two words, but Duan Siping, Siping, just a paragraph is missing, combined with the current situation, Yang Ganzhen should not call Duan Siping directly, it should be more reasonable to call him Siping.

If Nan Xun guessed correctly, this should be the Duan Siping mentioned by Ziling before.

It's just that I didn't expect that the relationship between Duan Siping and the emperor was so good, and there seemed to be some very unusual relationship.

Duan Siping didn't speak for a long time, and Yang Ganzhen said: "Siping, what's the matter, you don't plan to accept the reward I gave you like this?" ”

"Returning to the emperor, Siping didn't dare, it's just that this golden lion is something that the emperor has worked so hard to want, and he has also invited such a famous craftsman to build it, which is unique in the world, if it is given to me, it is really a bit overkill, and besides, such a valuable thing, I am afraid that I can't afford it."

Yang Ganzhen waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to see outsiders like this, I said before, half of me is in this world, and the rest is yours, this little golden lion, what is it, just take it!" ”

Listening to Yang Ganzhen's tone, he became more and more dissatisfied, Duan Siping didn't dare to shirk anymore, so he had to kneel down and kowtow and say: "Thank you for the king's reward, I am willing to follow the king's left and right, and I will be ruined!" (To be continued.) )
