Chapter 172: Flowers
The elder looked slightly embarrassed, "Since Your Majesty is not worried about halving the medicinal use, the national division will not stop it." ∈♀, however, the national division is unwilling to cut such a rare treasure by himself, in case it is broken, not only the national division will be heartbroken, but also our king will be heartbroken, and the person who gets the treasure after the game may be even more heartbroken. If you must verify, please also ask for another high-mindedness. Of course, if the frost grass is damaged due to improper verification, it can be compensated at the same price. ”
After the elder said these words, the ministers of the Beichen Kingdom looked embarrassed.
It's too risky to do anything, and if it's messed up, where can I find an eleven-leaf frost grass and return it to someone? Therefore, none of them dared to make a move, looked at each other a few times, seemed to have a clear heart, and chose to be silent. There are also some people who want to persuade His Majesty in their hearts, since everyone has brought it and guaranteed that it is genuine, we don't have to worry too much about it, just admit it. Anyway, they are unlikely to win this competition. Of course, no one dares to say these words, don't you see that Your Majesty is full of interest in this frost grass? His self-confidence seems to be full, maybe he won a big game yesterday, and his arrogance has come up.
Cheng Dandan's eyes turned to his grandfather, Cheng Guogong also glanced back, and then glanced away, and when the ministers were silent for a moment, they saw that His Majesty had a bad face, and seemed to be looking for someone who could solve the problem. His face was secretly proud, and seeing that the official Qianyi beside His Majesty seemed to be about to speak, he tidied up his clothes and raised his head, "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to give it a try." ”
Li Wei looked happy, "Lord Guogong, are you sure?" ”
"The minister is only six points sure." Cheng Guogong answered very pertinently, and he didn't feel like he was holding on to half a point. Although it is not the most confident grasp, it is more convincing.
Cheng Guogong knew that he would not blame him for saying this, but would be grateful to him for standing up when all the ministers were silent, even if he was not very sure of what he said, His Majesty would definitely agree. In this way, when he succeeds, His Majesty will be more grateful to him.
Li Wei looked embarrassed, and finally nodded, "Even if Lord Guogong tries it, if it is not too damaged." Beichen is responsible for compensation; If it succeeds. I have a reward. ”
"Minister, obey the order."
After that, Cheng Zhongjun looked solemn and picked up the small scissors on the side quite carefully. Carefully pinched a leaf under the gaze of everyone. As for the side. Facing the sun. Everyone held their breath and saw that the ice-blue leaves had softened, turning into a small pool of water in less than a quarter of an hour.
The Frost Grass in the copper box did not have any damage anomalies.
Li Wei snorted. "Okay, old man to see if it's successful?"
The elder pretended to nod unwillingly, "There are many talents in Beichen Country, and Lord Guogong is a military general, but he is bold and careful, which is indeed rare." ”
"The senior teacher has a good reputation." Cheng Guogong humbled himself a few words and retreated satisfied.
"I never thought that I would have a capable person like Cheng Aiqing in Beichen Kingdom. I will reward you later, but don't retreat. In this way, we Beichen also brought up the color head. ”
As Li Wei opened her mouth, Duo Neng held a square object covered with brocade cloth to the left side of the square table.
Li Wei nodded at Duo Neng, and Duo Neng then uncovered the brocade cloth covering the top, and a copper-colored box of the same size as the right side appeared, with a more transparent luster and golden light.
The old man narrowed his eyes, and Lian Meiren stretched out her head forward, staring only at the similar-looking box, thinking that she was not imitating what our Xiyu Kingdom did? But how do they know what our jackpots are and what kind of boxes they use?
Duo Neng retreated to Li Wei's side, and Beichen Luo continued to the side of the square table, "This is the color of my Beichen Kingdom, everyone should be optimistic." ”
Beichen Lu opened the box, there was no golden light in it, but a red color overflowed, and finally what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a very ordinary small flower.
Florets? Wild flower? Or a tossed wildflower? At the same time, everyone couldn't help but wonder.
Xiyu Kingdom came to make Caitou is a frost grass that can cure all kinds of poisons, which is rare in the world, but the thin body of Beichen Kingdom is really several streets worse than the vigorous stems and leaves of the frost grass, and that posture looks at it, no matter how you look at it, it is not a rare species.
The old man and the lotus beauty showed disdain, but behind them, a man with a beard on his face, his face was extremely surprised, and there seemed to be a fluctuating air flow all over his body.
Guan Qianyi obviously sensed that something was wrong with the man, and turned to pay more attention to him.
"Your Highness, this little flower doesn't look very energetic." The elder said lightly, only he knew how fast his heart was beating at the moment.
Beichen Luo smiled, "This flower, it's not good to be mentally full." It turns out that the old man doesn't know him. Anyway, the main hall only recently learned the name of this flower, and this fire snake flower can be regarded as a once-in-a-millennium masterpiece. ”
As soon as the name of the flower came out, most people still looked ignorant, but the elder and most of the people who knew the market were shocked when they heard it, especially the bearded man in the Xiyu Kingdom Mission, his eyes were shocked, fortunately he was able to hide it quickly, and then showed a trace of greedy gaze.
Guan Qianyi noticed these small details, motioned to Cui Lei on his side, and explained a few words to him, Cui Lei immediately nodded and left, he found Cui Yue, and the two disappeared in the crowd.
Seeing the old man's face surprised, Lian Meiren couldn't help asking, "National teacher, does this flower have any big name?" ”
The old man did not answer her words, but thousands of thoughts surged through his heart: his king had been looking for a flower introduction, and it turned out to be such an inconspicuous little wildflower?
It turned out that the old emperor of Xiyi Kingdom had been in power for nearly 60 years, and his power was getting bigger and bigger, and it was difficult to put down his hand, even if he had established the prince for more than 20 years, he saw that the prince was not successful, so he became more and more obsessed with finding all kinds of alchemy and rare medicinal materials, in a vain attempt to be immortal, old and disease-free.
Beichen Luo began to solve everyone's doubts: "This featureless flower is a fire snake flower. Although it does not have the miraculous effect of detoxifying, it can make wounds heal quickly, and it also has the wonderful effect of reviving the dead. ”
Back? That's much more powerful than being able to detoxify all kinds of poisons!
"So how do we know if it's really that magical?" Lian Meiren was also unconvinced, in her eyes. This is a very ordinary wildflower, otherwise how could even the soil that raises it be so ordinary? Nor are those radiant mysteries.
Beichen Lu said calmly, "Since the Frost Grass is verified by our Cheng Guogong, this Fire Snake Flower is also verified by your people." Of course, if it is damaged, it must also be compensated at the same cost. I wonder who would like to give it a try? ”
At this moment, it can be said that feng shui is taking turns. There are not many envoys from the Xiyu Kingdom, and they are all focused on the eyes of all the other Beichen countries, and their faces are not enough. If no one answers. It's a shame.
The elder coughed a few times. The person behind him didn't move, so he had to stand up, "This fire snake flower, there is no need to verify it." The national division believes in His Majesty. I also believe in the North Star Kingdom. "Of course he knows. Only because the fire snake flower is still effective, it will not seem to be a special spirit, as if it has been roasted by fire. If the spirit is really upright, it must have been removed from the medicinal effect.
Li Wei was happy, "The old man is really refreshing." We in Beichen naturally don't know what to do. Then the game can begin. ”
With the sound of drums, the first competition officially began.
Although Cheng Guogong is responsible for the arrangement of Beichenguo's race, the specific arrangement of who to compete and what horse to choose is up to Wei Taifu.
When she looked at the woman who came out on the side, she was a little surprised, this woman was dressed in a red riding costume, but she was heroic, it is rare that there is such a heroic woman in the royal family of Beichen Kingdom?
Cheng Dandan didn't look at her, just led the horse and stepped on the horse's back in a neat and handsome posture.
Lian Meiren also hurriedly got on the horse and secretly cheered herself up, this first game, you can't lose. She has always been very confident in her riding skills, she grew up on horseback since she was a child, and the women of Xiyu Country are not as delicate and soft as Beichen Kingdom, they basically can ride and shoot, and their skills are no worse than men. But Fang just glanced at Cheng Dandan, and she suddenly realized that the women in Beichen Kingdom were not so delicate, and she suddenly had a sense of crisis.
Cheng Dandan was immediately in the fence, and remembered the words of His Majesty Fang Cai: "Dandan just try his best, don't work too hard." Although I really want to win, I also know that the war horses of the Xiyu Kingdom are too strong against us. Don't worry, even if you lose, I will let you go to the north to find Cui Yan, sorry, I didn't know that the regent sent him to the north before, and I didn't know that you came to find me. ”
Her Majesty is very smart, she knows how to give grace and power, but Dandan herself is sincerely grateful to her. Hopefully, some of the wrong things she did before didn't bring much harm to Her Majesty.
In this competition, whether she wins or loses, does not conflict with the purpose of the Cheng family's plan, so she will try her best to defeat the first beauty in the West Country. She is also very confident in her riding and archery, in Beichen Kingdom, she can't find a second woman who can be her opponent, although the Xiyu war horse is more strong, but she is not afraid. The horse that Mrs. Wei prepared for her was also a rare sweat-sweated horse, and she was really excited to learn a few days ago that she could compete side by side with such a horse.
It seems that Wei Taifu has contributed a lot to His Majesty. I don't know where did Mrs. Wei get these such excellent horses?
Cheng Dandan gently patted the horse's back, stroked its thick mane, looked faint, and raised a smile.
Li Wei was a little nervous in the stands, although the poison in her body had been relieved by Monk Qingyi, she was still worried that the Cheng family was planning some conspiracy that would harm the people she cared about.
Dandan has always been the person she values, but unfortunately, she will be constrained by the Cheng family after all.
But inexplicably, she always chose to believe in that heroic and upright woman, why?
At this time, Monk Qingyi approached Li Wei again, looking at her bright yellow clothes and still wearing a thick body, he couldn't help but feel a little hot, he thought, His Majesty's temperament should be lively, but it was suffocated in this deep palace.
"Your Majesty, you see who can win this game."
Li Wei glanced at him, "Naturally, Dandan won." ”
"Why?"
"Why? I just want her to win, so I can only be sure that she will win. ”
"Lian Meiren is also a rare opponent in the Xiyu Kingdom, so don't despise her."
"I believe in Dandan. Isn't it okay? ”
"Hehe," Qingyi couldn't help but shake his head when he heard her still childish words, this majesty, where is it like a king, just a family member who protects his shortcomings.
On the field, with a drum vibrating, the gate opened, two batches of horses of the same color galloped out, the two of you chased me, after two laps of the field, Lian Meiren had already run half a lap ahead, she snorted, proudly took the reins, and began to shoot arrows. And Cheng Dandan was unhurried, followed closely behind her, and only began to release arrows in the third circle.
In the stands, the people who watched it were also lively, and they couldn't listen to the shouts and cheers for a while.
At this time, in the tent prepared in the backstage of the arena, there were some skirmishes.
Cheng Guogong was dressed neatly in riding clothes, holding a horsewhip in his hand and standing there, like a green pine, blocking Taifu Wei's way, "What does Taifu mean by this?" The national prince said earlier than you that the old man is going to play in this competition, and while the old man is still old and can continue to play for the Beichen Kingdom, the old man will definitely solve his worries for His Majesty. Mrs. Wei changed people without permission, why didn't he inform the old man? Taifu can't throw the honor of the country to the ground because of personal grudges! ”
Wei Taifu was still dressed in an easy-going robe, exposed his hands to the cuffs, hugged them into fists, and made a respectful gesture to heaven and earth, "It is precisely because this Taifu attaches great importance to the honor of Beichen Kingdom, so every decision I make is carefully considered, who to send to play, who is suitable to play, that is the power given to me by His Majesty, is it possible that Cheng Guogong wants to question His Majesty's decision?" ”
"Hmph, the old man only believes in strength, since you have decided to change the old man, in this way, the old man wants to have a competition with that person, and whoever wins will play!" Cheng Guogong's martial arts temper was also stimulated, and he shook the whip, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Wei Taifu was still tepid, and seemed to have a hint of a smile, "If Cheng Guogong must play in person, please go to His Majesty to reason." Then he took a cheerful step to the manger beside him, and his steps were particularly relaxed.
Cheng Guogong secretly hated, turned his eyes to look at the person who was preparing for the second competition on the side, and his brows jumped.
Beichen Luo was cultivating a relationship with his war horse, and when he saw Cheng Guogong approaching, his eyes were very faceless, and he just led the horse to leave, but Cheng Zhongjun stopped him.
"Even if Your Highness doesn't like the old man, you can't be so disrespectful. After so many years of royal etiquette, how did you learn it? Cheng Guogong's majestic face was straight, standing in front of Beichen Lu like an elder.
"The etiquette of the royal family has made His Royal Highness understand many truths, one of which is, don't be polite to the people who bully the royal family, if you don't have a hard heart, others will bully you."
"What does Your Highness mean by that?"
Beichen Luo finally glanced at him, "Doesn't Lord Guogong know the way of kings and ministers?" ”
Cheng Guogong's face darkened, and Beichen continued, "No matter how young His Highness is, no matter how disrespectful he is, no matter how polite he is, he is the royal family of Beichen Kingdom after all. It seems that the princess of the kingdom is even more ignorant when he openly insults the royal family, right? (To be continued.) )
