16 Recognize each other without blood
Inhuman power!
Suddenly, Zhuang Hua's background became confusing in the eyes of everyone.
Prince Bai Huang, Zhang Liang Wang Bai Ti, and Yuyang Wang Bai Xiang, who was the first to point Zhuang Hua's name, also had a change of color.
But King Zhao did not move like a mountain, and said to the envoy of the Yang Kingdom: "Flat." This is a strange and ingenious plan, and it is not the right way, and you don't have to mind. ”
"Whoa." The envoy got up and returned to his seat.
Zhuang Hua also retreated to the side and stood, there were still four or five positions away from the throne at the head of the hall, and King Zhao called: "Shanting, come to Lone's side." ”
This time, Zhuang Hua was surprised. I'll go! I'm in the limelight enough, I don't have to stand by your side to attract hatred.
Zhuang Hua also thought about these words, and politely refused: "King Xie." However, the mountain court is a white body, standing on the side of the throne, I am afraid that it is not etiquette. ”
In fact, she had already lost her manners when she stood on this hall.
"It's okay, I named you the secretary of the country, so that you will not lose etiquette." Zhao Wang Road.
The so-called Shangqing, is not an official position, but a kind of identity, Qing is the meaning of good guests, even the guests are divided into three, six, nine and so on, Shangqing, is the highest class. The secretary of Zhaoguo, the guest of King Zhao, even if he has no office or power, he cannot be easily offended.
Although Zhuang Hua had a general understanding of the social hierarchy here, it was a half-tone after all, so she accepted it without any pressure, "King Xie." She thought that Shangqing was just a guest of King Zhao, and King Zhao was happy to reward her with an identity that could make her stand on the side of the throne, it didn't matter, she didn't know that trouble was waiting in the back.
In the eyes of others, "he" is pampered and not surprised. So, blessed are the ignorant children?
Zhuang Hua walked up the steps to the throne as he watched, and then stood on his side on the throne.
Looking down on the ministers from such a perspective, how can it be described by a cool word. She began to understand a little bit of how the throne was tempting for princes who had a chance to compete for the throne.
She accidentally turned her gaze to Zhang Liang Wang Baiti, and her heart suddenly burst. He sat there like a dragon. A dark embroidered beast robe sets off his whole person's majestic and cold spirit, which is different from the noble and modest of the crown prince Bai Huang, and also different from the arrogance and arbitrariness of Yuyang Wang Baixiang, which is a kind of spirit that comes out of his bones. Those deep eyes are watching you, trapped in the abyss of people and abysses. With a cold and hard facial contour and angular features, this handsome face was almost overlooked, because it was all covered by his spirit.
Zhuang Hua glanced at King Zhao, and his three sons Xiao's face-like face could be seen to be handsome when he was young, and his unchanging pride could tell how high-spirited he was when he was young. But he is old, and since ancient times, beauties have been like heroes, and he is not allowed to see white heads in the world.
He was scared. Therefore, beware of this son who already has the momentum of a king. I heard that Bai Ti's late mother, Queen He, and younger brother Bai Yan both died before Bai Ti returned to China, and I am afraid that there is something else in this.
When Zhuang Hua fell into deep thought, another game in the palace was caused by the problem of Qi Guo had already stumped the ministers of Zhaoguo.
In a chess game, black has fallen into a game that is desperate to survive, and it is necessary to save black from it.
The ministers have taken turns to see it, but none of them can come up with a way to break the game.
King Zhao saw that Zhuang Hua had been looking at him, so he said, "It's hard for Qing to think of a way to break the situation?"
King Zhao's words focused everyone's eyes on Zhuang Hua. Although some people are already unhappy that "he" has stolen the limelight, in the face of foreign enemies, they still hope that someone can stand up and defeat the enemy.
Zhuang Hua was confused, she was stunned for a while, why is it her business again, and she is unreasonable, hey?!
Looking at the blazing eyes of King Zhao and the ministers of Zhaoguo, Zhuang Hua spit out with difficulty: "Shanting, willing to give it a try......"
"Good!" King Zhao looked at Zhuang Hua appreciatively, Zhuang Hua paced down the steps unhurriedly, in the eyes of everyone, it was called a calm and unhurried, God knows that she had a feeling of rushing to the execution ground, thinking that it would be a little slower.
At this time, it was Zhang Liang Wang Baiti who was kneeling in front of the chessboard, he straightened his back, looked at the stalemate on the chessboard with an expressionless face, and did not get up and leave until Zhuang Hua came closer.
"His Royal Highness King Zhangliang is slow." Even in the face of Bai Ti's weak heart, Zhuang Hua still opened his mouth to keep people. She is a rookie who has just started how to play such a profound chess game, of course, she has to leave someone to be the vanguard, she wanted to cry in her heart, how could she be so coincidental, she was running into this person in front of the chessboard, she really wanted to say that she could change someone, but if she avoided it so deliberately, it would be strange if she was not suspicious.
"I don't know what advice Shangqing has." Bai Ti stopped getting up, looked at Zhuang Hua with cold eyes and asked.
This man, who had entered the house in the name of the mountain court, and who seemed to have a close relationship with the crown prince, wanted to see what he was going to do.
How dare I advise you, "I am not good at chess, and I want to ask His Highness for help." Zhuang Hua said. She can tell the truth, she didn't know how to play Go in her previous life, and when she got here, she learned a little bit from Shanting, these big names in the palace are tricky chess games, how can she crack it, take one step at a time.
But who believes it? The first three problems made her crush all the way, solved them effortlessly, and even had inhuman strength, she said that she was not proficient in chess, no one believed her, and they all thought she was modest.
"According to the will of Shangqing, this king is instructed by you." Bai Ti agreed.
Zhuang Hua said "don't dare", and then stood beside Bai Ti and pretended to observe the chess game.
With her rookie level, it can be seen that the black chess is not saved, the big dragon is entangled, a large number of chess pieces are trapped in death, and the corners are difficult to move, at most a dozen moves, the black chess will be completely blocked by the white chess, and the whole army will be annihilated.
Well, it's really like a chess game in a martial arts novel written by a hero in a previous life.
Zhuang Hua is already immune to this kind of undisciplined chaos (Sanhu: I really can't write, I can only learn from it...... So, he leaned over and said to Bai Ti: "Your Highness, it is better to put it to death and live later." ”
Bai Ti suddenly opened his mouth, and the eyes of other people who had watched the chess game before also lit up.
Sure enough, after Bai Ti committed suicide in a large number of black chess pieces, the situation suddenly widened, and after fighting with the envoys of Qi State for more than 20 meshes, he turned defeat into victory, and narrowly defeated white chess with half an eye.
"The Shangqing of the Mountain Court can really be called a national soldier!" The envoy of the State of Qi ordered someone to collect the chess game and said to King Zhao.
King Zhao seemed to be praised by his own child, and said with a smile: "Qing has won the award." ”
In the fourth game, Qi Guo challenged Zhao Guo and lost.
There is only the last Fu country left, the envoy of Fu Guo brought a male musician, the musician Su Feng is famous for the piano, as soon as he went to the palace, Su Feng begged: "Your Majesty, when the villain is waiting in the side hall, it is known that Shangqing Shanting is peerlessly talented, and the villain dares to ask Mr. Shanting to be invited by a certain to fight with music." ”
Well, this will be a war letter.
"Your Majesty, I don't know vocal music, I'm afraid I'm ......" Before Zhuang Hua finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Zhao: "It's okay, even if you go to the mountain court, there is no obstacle to defeat." ”
It means that we have won so much, and it's okay for you to lose once, but it's not okay to fight.
Zhuang Hua was silent, "......"
Soon, the palace attendant brought a five-string guqin and put it on a table, not far from the opposite side, and the musician Su Feng was sitting.
Su Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, a guqin was placed on his knees, a pair of white hands were lightly placed on the strings, and his eyes were slightly closed.
Zhuang Hua stood not far away as if he was a visitor, and the piano carried by the palace attendant did not touch it.
If you don't, don't show your timidity, just watch a star concert, anyway, King Zhao said, it's okay to lose.
Suddenly, the piano sounded.
The clear sound of the piano seems to fall down from the slope, falls into the shallow pool, the dingdong is exquisite, let the listener be in a good scenery with the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, there are insects chirping, there is the wind chanting, like the laughter of the green girl, and like the chanting of the beauty of the alluring city, only the sound of the piano is heard in the hall, and there is no sound.
People like Zhuang Hua who don't have many musical cells are a little intoxicated, let alone those ministers with musical cultivation.
It's just that suddenly the wind turns sharply, the gentle wind and drizzle turn into a violent storm, the golden iron horse, the wolf smoke is everywhere, the beautiful scenery becomes a battlefield, and the beauty becomes a recruit.
Zhuang Hua jumped, and subconsciously looked at Su Feng, only to see Su Feng looking at her dissatisfied, a little angry.
Why are you still angry? Zhuang Hua thought about it in wonder, didn't come up with a reason, turned his head to seek an answer, only to see that the ministers were still intoxicated, Yuyang Wang Baixiang glanced at her contemptuously and stopped looking at her, Prince Bai Huang and Zhang Liang Wang Bai Ti both set their eyes on the piano that the palace attendant carried for her.
Oh...... It turned out that Su Feng thought that she looked down on him and was unwilling to fight with him. She really wants to explain, she really can't play this game, even in her previous life, she would play a harmonica, play a half-tone guitar, and she didn't know how to play a national instrument at all.
But Su Feng's eyes that seemed to be humiliated looked at her directly, what was the matter?
Zhuang Hua couldn't stand it, and walked a few steps, stepping on the rhythm of the sound of the plain organ.
Rhythm...... Zhuang Hua lit a small light bulb in his heart, looked around the hall, borrowed a table knife that looked like a small dagger used to cut meat from a minister's table, and turned to look at the guqin that was supposed to be played by her.
The strings under Su Feng's hands are plucking faster and faster, and the rhythm is getting faster and faster, as if it is the moment of decisive battle!
"Boom-"
The strings of the two pianos broke at the same time, and the sound of the plain wind came to an abrupt end, and the atmosphere created dissipated in an instant.
Those who were immersed in the sound of the piano suddenly woke up.
On the empty piano, a knife was inserted into the surface of the piano, and a string was cut off, while the strings of the plain piano were broken.
Forcibly interrupting Su Feng's rhythm by external forces was the only way Zhuang Hua could think of to deal with it.
The accuracy of this hand flying knife is often practiced by a group of bad friends who go to nightclubs to play darts.
After a while, people knew what was going on, and when they looked at Zhuang Hua's eyes, they couldn't see how something was wrong.
What a means!
Su Feng was stunned, but he still couldn't slow down, Zhuang Hua had already confessed to King Zhao, "A certain string was broken first, and he had already lost, and he had failed the king's expectations, please forgive the king." ”
"It's the villain who loses!" Su Feng came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Lord Shanting broke the villain's piano skills with a sound, and the villain is ashamed of himself. ”
After speaking, Su Feng bowed to the ground and bowed to King Zhao.
King Zhao stroked his palms and smiled, "Both of them are so humble, it is a draw." ”
Zhuang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was finally happy.
All the ministers came out, and they all bowed their heads together, and the mountain shouted: "The king is wise!" ”
Zhuang Hua also bowed and saluted. She is still not used to kneeling, anyway, King Zhao has already allowed her to see the king without kneeling.
"All the ministers are flat!" King Zhao raised his hand.
"Whoa." The ministers got up and returned to their seats.
King Zhao set his eyes on Zhuang Hua, who was standing in the hall, Zhuang Hua chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition came to his throat.
"Your envoys have already come up with a question for entertainment, but it is better for our country to come up with a difficult question." King Zhao said, "Since all your problems have been solved by the mountain court, why don't you also come out of the mountain court, what do you think?" ”
Zhuang Hua: "......"
Hatred has been attracted to foreign countries, and Zhuang Hua's wind is messy.
"I think it's very good!"
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
…………
A voice seconded the proposal.
It seems that the hatred value in the country is also quite high. The corners of Zhuang Hua's mouth broke through the control of the nerves again and twitched.
"What does Shanting think?" King Zhao asked Zhuang Hua very kindly.
“…… Here. Zhuang Hua replied.
The front is a tightrope, the back is a cliff, fight!
Under strong pressure, Zhuang Hua suddenly thought of the storytelling story told by a well-known storytelling master, and said: "The mountain court needs one person to cooperate to get one thing." ”
King Zhao said: "Accurate." ”
At this time, an unexpected person spoke, "Erchen, I am willing to cooperate with Shangqing." ”
Zhuang Hua stalked to his throat in one breath, but he didn't suffocate her.
"Oh? Since King Zhangliang is willing to go, Shanting, you should prepare to go with King Zhangliang. ”
......." ”
Zhuang Hua and Bai Ti walked together from the inner door to the apse.
No one spoke to anyone.
Zhuang Hua only felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and he thought to himself, you are talking! I can explain to you, you follow me like that without speaking, and I don't know the way, what's the matter?!
Bai Ti obviously didn't hear Zhuang Hua's thoughts, and still followed Zhuang Hua inch by inch.
The two of them went out of the apse, and under the stairs outside the door was a wide square, surrounded by palaces on all sides. At night, the lights are dim, and there are occasional palace attendants and patrolling guards.
"What do you want this king to cooperate with?" Bai Ti broke the silence and said in a deep voice with a blank face.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was good at the beginning. Zhuang Hua turned around and said, "I'm going to find a smaller bird, and I'm going to ask the prince for help." ”
"Stand here and wait." Bai Ti said a word, walked down the steps over Zhuang Hua, and walked towards a laneway on the south side.
Zhuang Hua honestly stood where he was, waiting, and after a while, he saw Bai Ti coming back, still carrying a sparrow in his hand, and the sparrow kept struggling and fluttering in his hand, but in vain.
"What are you going to do?" Bai Ti asked Zhuang Hua.
Zhuang Hua felt that he was actually almost as deceived as this sparrow, the only difference was that one was a human and the other was a bird.
Zhuang Hua sighed and said, "Please hold this bird in your hands, don't pinch it to death." After a while, His Royal Highness will ask the prince to cooperate with me. ”
Bai Ti looked at Zhuang Hua, who was always pale, his eyes darkened, and asked, "What should this king do if he pinched it to death?"
Zhuang Hua raised his head and looked directly at Bai Ti, his eyes were indifferent, and he said seriously: "I can only blame myself, it is too small to be bullied." Then he turned and walked into the apse door.
Bai Ti also followed.
Zhuang Hua and Bai Ti returned to the palace, first saluted King Zhao, and then came to the palace, Zhuang Hua said to the five envoys who had already been listed: "I have a question, I ask the five adults at the same time, and I hope that the five can give an answer together." A finger of Bai Ti's raised hand motioned for them to look at the sparrow held by Bai Ti, and said, "Please look at the bird in the hand of King Zhangliang, may I ask, is the bird in the palm alive or dead?" ”
The sparrow was held in Bai Ti's hand, revealing only its tail feathers, and the rest of the body was covered.
The five envoys made eye contact.
After a long time, they bowed to King Zhao together, "The ministers can't answer this question." ”
But they really couldn't answer, saying that it was dead, and as soon as King Zhangliang let go of his hand, the bird flew, and they guessed wrong. said that it was alive, King Zhang Liang pinched it hard in his hand, and the bird died, but they still guessed wrong. It's a fundamentally unsolvable problem.
King Zhao admired Zhuang Hua even more, and this simple question stumped the envoys of the five countries, and also showed the courage of Zhaoguo.
I say life is life, I say death is death, life and death are all controlled by my hegemonic spirit.
"In that case, ladies and gentlemen, continue to drink and feast!" King Zhao gave an order, the drums played in unison, and Daxian fell into the sound of singing and dancing.
King Zhao was very happy to pull Zhuang Hua to speak, like a son-in-law, and was relieved by Zhuang Hua for an excuse. All the way to the ministers, whether real or fake, they slipped out.
At this point, the month has passed
