Chapter 31: Clever or Foolish? Lord of the Southern Ming Kingdom

Li Tou'er wailed and was pulled far away by several people, pushed to the ground and was about to cut off his head. He now finally understood why that damn little young master was letting him eat enough, it turned out ...... It was really my last meal, and I don't know how I offended that master and hurt myself like this!

On the other end, the cold-faced guard looked at the crystal powder on his fingers and pouted, "Salt? Is this salt? Joke! What happened when I hadn't seen salt? Can I not know if salt is black or white? Cut, I don't know where the foolish assassin was sent, actually came up with such a method of deception, it is really ...... As long as you've been a guard for a long time, anyone can see it......"

But looking at it, almost subconsciously, the cold-faced guard put his finger to his lips, carefully stretched out his tongue and licked it. Or you want to see what kind of 'poison' it is, or your hands are slippery and greasy, and you want to 'wash it off', anyway...... He licked.

Then, the whole person froze suddenly, and in a panic picked up the bag that he threw on the ground, and found that there was no other damage except for a little dirty, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he thought of another thing, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Don't cut, stop! ”

At this time, the distance between the steel knife and Li Tou'er's neck was almost about a foot. I have to say that this is the most 'sad' day since Li Touer became a captain, he not only cried, but also urinated, the kind of urine that did not take off his pants, first warm and then cold, and a light breeze blew...... Trembling all over the body.

He was dragged back to the camp gate, and the cold-faced guard covered his nose and frowned: "Take him to freshen up first, and then change into clean clothes." ”

Li Tou'er was puzzled: "This ...... What is this for? ”

The cold-faced guard pointed to his crotch and said, "Are you going to see Your Majesty like this?" ”

Li Tou'er was stunned suddenly, and then he was ecstatic, he almost kowtowed, and said with a thousand thanks: "Mmmm, I'll go freshen up, I'll change, don't smoke it, uh-huh, I'll ......change it."

Half an hour later, he was dressed in new clothes, and even his hair had been washed several times, and the places that had been glued together were loose and neat. The whole person is clean and has changed into good clothes, and Li Touer is still a little handsome. The cold-faced guard was stunned for a moment when he saw him, then turned around and asked him to follow, and muttered in a low voice, "The Forward Battalion is really a rotten place......

Li Tou'er followed behind, carefully lowering his head, but because he was too curious, he asked the guards beside him in a low voice, "Who is that person in front?" He can take me to see His Majesty without informing? ”

The guard laughed for a while, and wondered, "You don't know this adult?" ”

Li Tou'er shook his head.

The guard whispered: "Don't look at this adult's youth, he is today's 'guard captain'!" ”

"What?!"

Li Tou'er's legs were weak and he almost collapsed.

Captain? What does a guard do? There are too many things to say about his position, if it is simply put, he is the 'Majesty Xià Sabre', and he is also the most trusted martial artist of His Majesty, to put it more clearly...... This Golden Scale Guard, as well as the Silver Moon Guard who is now on the border, and the Thousand Feather Guard who is not seen by the Divine Dragon, the three most powerful armies of the Southern Ming Kingdom, and the 'Three Great Guards' directly commanded by His Majesty, are all under the control of this 'Guard'!

It can be said that ...... Among all the warriors in the southern capital city, he is the most powerful one, and he is also the most powerful one. Similarly, he is also Li Touer's top boss. He recalled the expression of his 'bad seed' just now, and couldn't help but worry about his future.

The big tent of the Chinese army is obviously built with cloth and fur, but no matter how you look at it, it is a palace, three zhang away from the top and bottom, stretching more than ten zhang from side to side, and valuable things can be seen everywhere. Magnificent, gorgeous, the moment Li Tou'er saw this, he didn't think of the harsh environment where he lived in the forward battalion where he was desperately working, but a sense of pride sprouted from his heart, and there was only sigh in his eyes.

Lord Wei Wei turned to look at him, and his expression was also clearly seen by Lord Wei Wei, which made Wei Wei nod his head. The reason why he climbed to such a high position at such a young age is that loyalty is one thing, and force is by no means his support, he relies on the most...... is a pair of poisonous eyes, who is beneficial to His Majesty and who is harmful to His Majesty, he can often see at a glance. And when he saw Li Tou'er's expression, he understood that Li Tou'er was the kind of person who felt at ease to be a 'slave for life', not the kind of guy who had a backlash in the back of his head and would bite his master as long as he was given a chance.

If you see it through, you will be relieved.

Lord Wei carefully handed back the bag of salt to Li Tou'er, and said to him, "After a while, you will go in, and you will personally present this thing to Your Majesty...... When you speak, be careful. ”

"The little ones understand, the little ones understand......"

Li Tou'er thanked him for a thousand moments of gratitude, and then carefully hugged the salt bag and walked in through the 'gate' full of swords and axes on the left and right. He was somewhat incomprehensible why a tent ...... No matter how big it is, it's a tent, and there will be this kind of door with solid wood and copper edges, where did it come from?

After walking in, Li Touer felt that he had come to another world, not to mention the splendor, he didn't think it was enough to give him a hundred pairs of eyes, but what suffocated him the most was the quiet and breath. As you step forward, you can hear the wind in the forest, the subtle metallic sound of soldiers and armor colliding, and the chirping of birds and insects...... But in the next step, there was no sound at all, as if his ears were deaf, but he could hear his own roaring heartbeat.

"Who's down there?"

It was cold, like a thunderclap in the quiet night, and a voice that was neither male nor female sounded from the front. Li Tou'er fell to his knees with a puff, kowtowing and not daring to raise his head, and he didn't know whether to answer or not, but he was trembling and sweating.

Lord Wei Wei smiled, arched his hand and said loudly: "Captain Li of the Forward Battalion." ”

"What's going on?"

Lord Wei replied: "This Captain Li has a good life, and he has obtained a treasure, and he has made a special trip to present it to His Majesty." ”

As soon as these words came out, the shrill voice did not sound again, but a slightly magnetic male voice asked with some surprise: "Oh? What kind of treasure is it? ”

Lord Wei Wei bowed his head and said: "Please also ask the lower officials to sell a pass, please see it with your own eyes." ”

The male voice preached, "Then present it." ”

Lord Wei Wei smiled, turned his head to look, but found that Li Tou'er was still squirming on the ground like a sieve, he was angry and funny, stretched out his foot and kicked him twice on his leg, before reminding Li Tou'er, and walked forward like a crawl.

Walking forward, walking up the steps, his lower head could see various colors of shoes and socks on both sides, he didn't dare to look at it, until finally, a pair of blue purple dragon boots came into view, he hurriedly knelt down again, held the salt bag high above his head and said, "Your Majesty...... Majesty xià, please look at ......"

The male voice laughed, and it exploded above Li Tou'er's head, and then the male voice said: "Since it is a treasure, you are so cowardly and cowardly on the ground?" Raise your head and let me take a good look at the men of my forward battalion. ”

Li Tou'er raised his head tremblingly...... Boots, white crystal robe on a purple background, dragon dance Hua Jin Pei, white flowers flowing jade placket, and a row of strange and good-looking beads on the collar.

'What a handsome man! ’

This was the first reaction in Li Tou'er's mind, and then he shouted 'damn it' in his heart, how can he use the word 'Jun' to describe His Majesty? It should be heroic and extraordinary, and the gods should descend to earth!

His majesty tilted his head and said, "Saying that you are cowardly, you are bold and bold, and you dare to stare at me like this." ”

"The minister didn't dare...... The minister is guilty! ”

Li Tou'er hurriedly lowered his head again, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all because Your Majesty is too heroic and extraordinary, and the minister is ...... I was stunned to see it......"

The so-called thousands of clothes are not worn, His Majesty smiled, took the bag from his hand, and opened it without any scruples, after all, Wei Wei had seen it beforehand, and there must be nothing dangerous here.

Feeling out a handful of white powder, His Majesty spread it in the palm of his hand and watched: "En...... This thing is crystal clear and lovely, but it is more transparent than the spirit stone fairy stone, but it is too fine...... What is it? ”

Li Tou'er said in a trembling voice: "Report to Your Majesty, this thing is...... Is...... Salt. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone could clearly see that the corners of His Majesty's eyes trembled violently, and the green tendons on his head popped up.

"Hehe, you talk to me...... Is this salt? ”

"Positive...... Precisely. ”

"Hahahaha! It's really funny, I was born in the royal family, I grew up in fine clothes and food, if I say that I have seen the most and tasted the most in the world, it is not a boast, but now you say that this thing is salt? The salt I eat at every meal on weekdays? I'm afraid it's a little ...... Hmph, deceive ignorance! ”

"Ahh The villain doesn't dare, this is really salt, how dare the villain deceive His Majesty! ”

Li Touer hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, his lower body was cold, and he wanted to urinate again.

At this moment, not far from His Majesty, in the first position under the stairs, the old man on the ancient wooden rattan chair stood up, walked up to the high platform lightly, frowned, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, can you show this thing to the old man?" ”

"Why not?"

His Majesty eased his anger and threw the salt bag directly to the old man. The old man took it, opened the mouth of the bag, reached out and grabbed a small handful, first put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it......

His eyes, which seemed to be asleep, opened suddenly, and he hurriedly poured the salt in his hand back into the bag, closed the mouth of the bag, and presented it with both hands...... This thing is really salt! ”

……

More than ten miles away from the Chinese army camp, to the east, a chaotic place is the camp of the forward battalion.

Heavenly Sin was lying on Xiao Jian's lap, enjoying the bright red fruits that Xiao Jian had carefully peeled off, swallowing one, squinting his eyes, and swallowing his saliva, making a pleasant sound.

This fruit is called 'Mochizuki Crescent', which only grows in the depths of the dense forest, and the strings are like pearls full of plates, the size of each little finger, purple and bright red, and only in the crescent moon season only briefly and secretly grow some, inherent in this name. For these fruits, the longest hair among the nine people was a man's fellow, known as 'Wind Letter', who went directly into the dense forest for more than 100 miles, carefully searching every vine Yayoi place, and only then did he pick a large basket full of heavenly sins.

Mochizuki is generally very sour and astringent, and small animals do not like to eat it on weekdays, but one out of every ten plants will have a strong sweet taste, although the sourness is still there, but it has been covered by a sweet fragrance, which is a rare forest delicacy. 'Letter in the Wind' Wu Guangyuan was originally going to shoot the sycophants of the heavenly sin, but he didn't know how to pick wild fruits, and he didn't know which one was sweet, so he simply carried everything he could see back. And what Heavenly Sin eats at this time is the unlucky little sword, and after each string of attempts, he picks out the sweet and delicious peel for him to eat.

Xiao Jian raised his head and glanced at the main gate of the camp again, and couldn't help asking, "Shaojun, why didn't you say that Li Tou'er came back?" ”

Tiansin smiled and said, "Don't worry, if he doesn't come back in another hour, you don't have to wait for him." ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Hehe, he only has a fifty percent chance of meeting the lord of the country on this trip."

"What about the other fifty?"

"Before I could see the lord of the country, I was beheaded."
