Chapter 200
None of the people wanted to disperse and go back first, so they stared at the treasure chests of each team and thought about whether they would open them here and divide the contents here, and by the way, see what the treasure chests of the other teams contained, whether they were the same or different.
"Let's open it and watch it together." Someone opened his mouth to mention yì, and everyone got along for a while, and most of them were familiar with each other, and they were not too open.
"Why don't you start on the left and open it one by one?" This seems fair, everyone can take their turn and not mess around to see the team's treasure chest.
"Okay." A group of people on the left happened to come back first, and a captain stepped forward to pick up the treasure chest, and the weight in his hand made him frown involuntarily.
"It's light." The captain spoke, tossing the chest upwards to prove his words, "There is no noise in it, it doesn't look very full. ”
Everyone gathered in a semicircle and had a wide line of sight, which could be seen clearly from any direction, and when they stared carefully, there was no gorgeous appearance on the outside of the treasure chest, and it was no different from the other three treasure chests.
"Open it up and you'll see it when you see it." Someone was urging urgently, and the things retrieved by thousands of rivers and mountains dared to be extraordinary, and the Wing King didn't look so stingy.
The captain opened the treasure chest in the expectant gaze of everyone, and for a moment his expression froze on his face, and his expression spread out in disbelief at the bottom, and his mouth opened unconsciously wide, looking very shocked.
"What is it?" Some people saw that his expression was even more eager to know what was in the treasure chest, which could lead people to freeze in it.
The captain woke up after a while, closed his mouth and showed the treasure chest to everyone with an expressionless face, and the contents of it were unobstructed. Everyone was as shocked as the captain when they saw it.
"How could there be nothing!" One of them exclaimed, "It's impossible for the Winged King to play tricks on us. "It's completely unnecessary, and there's no starting point. Is the Wing King crazy to give an empty box and a gift for each person, is it possible that he has long legs and flies?
"Our team hasn't opened the treasure chest when they get it." The captain made timely explanations to ensure the innocence of everyone in his team.
"Don't talk about that yet, let's see if the other chests are the same." Someone calmed down and spoke: "The Wing King said that the treasure chest has not been opened, so don't be suspicious of each other and spoil everyone's affection." ”
"Yes, the Winged King knows best if the treasure chest has been opened." Some people chimed in. "Let's see if the other boxes have anything in common." The captains of the other three teams came out of line, picked up their respective treasure chests and weighed them like the captains of a team, and the three of them were all the same. Chests have no extra weight.
The three of them opened it at the same time and showed it to everyone, just like the first team, the treasure chest was empty, even if it had been thought that the Wing King could not refute one team. The contents of the box should be the same if you don't go on a business trip. Never thought it would be like this?
"How could it be empty!" Some people made peace, "Is the Wing King really making fun of us?" "If so, it is too hateful to be forgiven, they are human beings and not playthings kneaded by anyone's hands.
Someone was angry and wanted to ask the Wing King for an explanation, and they immediately gathered and shouted.
"Wait, calm down, everybody." Someone raised his voice and shouted: "Don't be impatient, let's think carefully about whether the Wing King has a deep meaning hidden in a few words." ”
"What could it be?" The angry person spoke with a prickly voice, and his voice was very sharp.
"Calm down, everyone. We can't rush into confronting the Winged King, who doesn't have to make fun of everyone. The consequences cannot be afforded. A calm and sensible man spoke to persuade.
"We have to use our brains to recall every word that the Winged King has said, the Winged King is used to hiding words in his words, we should not impulsively pack our bags, can't raise our heads in front of the Winged King, and say that we are straw bales."
Hearing this, everyone pondered carefully, and then they quieted down one after another, twisting their eyebrows to recall what the Wing King had said before.
"The Winged King said that the contents of the treasure chest are one for each person." Someone spoke out loud.
"The treasure chest will be retrieved tomorrow." Someone else took over, "I can't find any suspicion." ”
"We must have fallen into the misunderstanding, the premise that the contents of the treasure chest are enough for each of us is not the contents, but each of us." Someone analyzed the hidden meaning, and there was lightness and laughter in the voice.
"The Winged King will play tricks, and everyone will be scared to death." The man's smile grew thicker, and he was not playing dumb riddles under the gaze of many pairs of eyes.
"The original intention of the Wing King is to put the contents of the treasure chest, and we will do it." In order to avoid anyone not understanding, he said as bluntly as possible, "One copy for each person, each of us will write down what we want on a piece of paper, put it in the treasure chest, and after returning it tomorrow, we will be able to have what we think we are treasured in our hearts after a while, this is the key to the Wing King deliberately saying whether the treasure chest has been opened." ”
After the explanation, everyone suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that this was the case, the Winged King is really enough to toss people, can you get rid of the problem of hiding words in the words, it always makes people guess that it is not the roundworm in the stomach of the Winged King, which makes people exhausted and speechless and asks the sky, can the heart bear it.
"Is it true?" Some people still doubt the correctness of the analysis.
"Yes, I don't know the bottom of my heart." A few people still have different doubts about this.
"Whatever, we'll see." Someone broke the jar and broke it, "We don't suffer anyway." ”
"Can you write more than one of your favorite things?" One sentence has attracted the attention of many people.
"The beauty of thought." Someone laughed, "Didn't the Wing King say one per person, if you want more than one, you can only dream more during the day." ”
Hahaha, everyone laughed and made a mess, in fact, this question is not too much, many people also want more things in their hearts, human nature.
"Go back with each team's treasure chest, and think about what you want to get right away. Write it on a piece of paper, fold it, and put it in the treasure chest. The captain of the first team advised, "Avoid it as soon as possible, don't wait until others have the best blades in their hands, and they don't have the right things in their hands, how good weapons can they buy with the silver in their hands, and then ask the Wing King for the upper limit of silver, don't lose a great opportunity for a small profit in front of you." ”
"That's right, let's go back and think about it, how can we get a good night's sleep tomorrow after half a day." Others joined in the fun, reminding the crowd not to take the matter seriously.
"If only a weapon could draw its own pattern?" Someone asked, "It's best to use your own weapons." ”
"If you can draw it, you can make it." Someone joked. "If it's a ball of ink, no one can read it."
The words caused everyone to laugh again, and after a few gossips, they each dispersed with their own teams, and went back to their own staff.
After going back, Zhang Qi and the four of them unanimously solved the dirt on their bodies first. It's sweat and ash, and I don't wash it, and I feel uncomfortable up and down.
"What do you want?" Meng Zhou lay down after washing, his arms pillowed behind his head, his eyes looked at the top of the tent, and his mind was pulling on what attracted him.
"Do you really want to choose weapons?" Meng Zhou doesn't pick weapons, he can use them, he doesn't get to the point where he doesn't suit himself, and he doesn't attach much importance to weapons.
"You can choose gold, silver, pearls, and precious beauties." Zhang Qi wiped the water on his face. picked up Meng Zhou's words.
"Didn't you say you couldn't choose gold and silver objects?" Meng Zhou turned his head and glanced at Zhang Qi, his eyes full of disgust.
That's a well-meaning reminder, but it's not absolute. Why bother with this. Zhang Qi sat down next to Wu Yue and picked up the teacup to drink tea, the Wing King has never been harsh in food, except for the lack of meat, everything can be regarded as dedicated.
"You're fooling me. Let me choose the wrong one, so you can steal the fun. Meng Zhou sat up, and the knife flew straight to Zhang Qi. It's better to poke it into a sieve.
"Come on, if only I could influence you." Zhang Qi looked disdainful, "You asked first, I just opened my mouth and said something, what nonsense, besides, even if you don't choose gold and silver, some people from poor families have just the right opportunity to supplement their families, why don't you choose." ”
"Aren't they afraid that the Winged King won't honor it?" Meng Zhou wrinkled his eyebrows, very incomprehensible. "We obviously hang on to the position of the forbidden army, and we have a fortune. Do you want to ask the Winged King for money again? "If you are poor and can't take advantage of this opportunity, what will others think?
"We're barely making ends meet, but it's not enough for some people." Zhang Qi is an active person, and he has carefully screened many friendships, like these people who are not wealthy in the family.
"Even if you write it, aren't you afraid that the Wing King will be ashamed to look down on people after seeing it?" Meng Zhou was not stupid to guess the trick. "What will the Winged King think, will he kick this kind of person out?"
"Yo, you're on the point again." Zhang Qi gave Meng Zhou an admiring look, "Do you think the Wing King will be able to redeem huàn?" Weapons are easy to say, either the current or the craftsmen in the palace rush to make it, and the wing king occupies the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and the weapon class is easy and troublesome for the wing king. ”
"Gold and silver treasures, the lack of the Wing King and the giving or not are two different things, more or less is enough to think about." Zhang Qi's shallow smile waved, "If you want more, the Wing King may not necessarily take it out, and if you don't want it, it is estimated that you can't even buy that seemingly inconspicuous treasure chest, as you said, there are too many things to pay attention to." ”
"And what do you all choose?" Meng Zhou asked the rest of the people's opinions for a reference.
"I'm going to have wild ginseng." Zhang Qi has already measured it in his heart, "My mother's illness needs, the medicinal materials in the palace are of high age, much stronger than those in the pharmacy outside, I can't even afford the pharmacy, and I will send pillows when I am sleepy." "Whatever you want, what you want, and the mood is very happy.
"I want to take the bow and arrows, the black iron." Wu Yue was good at archery, he didn't have a chance before, he was reluctant to buy better ones with silver, and he couldn't use cheap ones, so he used spears, swords and other weapons when he entered the forbidden military camp, and never took a bow again.
"Silver." Zheng Cao sighed.
"Ahh Meng Zhou thought that he had heard the wrong ear, so he subconsciously dug out his ear with his hand, picked out his earwax and stared at Zheng Ke to confirm it again.
"Are you sure?" Zhang Qi was surprised, he had already analyzed the disadvantages and disadvantages of choosing gold and silver before, how could Zheng Ke, who has always been a shrewd person, still make this decision.
"You also know the situation in my family, and I have a good official position in my family." Zheng Cao was helpless, "It's a little better than the poor people, and there is still an eldest brother in the family who has never married a wife in his thirties." ”
"How much are you going to get?" Wu Yue asked, do you know the situation in Zheng Cao's family.
"One hundred taels." Zheng Cao calculated that one hundred taels was enough for the eldest brother to marry a wife and start one or two houses, and the surplus was enough to chew for a year. I don't need to ask someone to bring it home here, and save some for future use.
"Nothing more, nothing less." Zhang Qi calculated that his monthly income was ten taels, and he could not save much except for the developed rice grain.
"What did you originally want besides this?" Meng Zhou said curiously, "It's also a weapon?" ”
"I want a war book. The kind of military book that is not passed down by the big families. "What you can buy outside is either nonsense or superficial basic content, and it is very rare to buy a serious military book.
"Do you think the Wing King can get a treasure that is not passed down from the family?" Meng Zhou did not report his hopes for Zheng Cao's request.
Zheng Cao also knew that his lion opened his mouth, "That's why I chose gold and silver." "It's always the same. There is no burden to better engage in training.
Meng Zhou touched his chin and groaned, he didn't particularly want it, his family was richer than the other three families, and he was not short of money, so he really couldn't think of it. His eyes inadvertently swept to Zheng Cao, and an idea flashed in his mind, whether to give up his opportunity to Zheng Cao. Weapons can be solved by their own homes, and they are dispensable to military books, anyway, they don't have Zheng Ke's brain. He was trying to see if the Wing King could really get the book of war that came to the family as a treasure.
That's right, that's it, Meng Zhou snickered, his face and eyes lit up. Like a fox who steals a fat chicken.
"Laughing at what?" Strange oozing. Zhang Qi pushed Meng Zhou.
"Nothing." Meng Zhou decided to surprise Zheng Ke and urged, "Since everyone has a choice, hurry up and write." "Stand up and get a pen and paper.
"What do you choose?" Zhang Qi asked when he saw Meng Zhou's strange expression.
"I don't sue you." Meng Zhou raised his chin and was very proud.
"Cut, who is rare." Zhang Qi didn't ask, and took his share of paper and pen.
"Well, how do you write your own name?" Do you still use attribution? I didn't hear it, Meng Zhou was puzzled.
"Or call you stupid." Zhang Qi finished writing a few strokes and waited for the ink to dry, "Don't sign it, in case someone thinks of going with you." What should I do if I get something wrong when I come back. ”
Meng Zhou was right when he thought about it, and he hid to the side to write. blocked it with his hands for fear of being seen by others, and during this time, he got Zhang Qi several blank eyes and was ignored by himself.
Zhang Qi wondered, what Meng Zhou wrote needed to be kept secret, and it was definitely not a good thing to hide it.
When the ink is dry, fold the paper into the shape of an ingot, prevent others from peeking at it, and wait until dinner time to give it to the person who took the treasure chest.
"By the way, tomorrow I will take half a day off, and Wu Yue and Zheng Ke will be able to go home." Meng Zhou looked envious when he mentioned this.
"If it weren't for you, I would have been able to go home." Zhang Qi snorted at Meng Zhou, he wasted two opportunities on Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou was embarrassed, it was indeed his own fault, if everyone stared at him, he might have made more mistakes.
Zhang Qi didn't really want to save Meng Zhou's face for two chances, he just wanted to remind Meng Zhou that if there is something similar, don't affect the people around him.
"Are you going home?" Wu Yue asked Zheng Cao.
"Go back and see." Zheng Ke was afraid that something would happen at home, so he took the opportunity to go back, "Why don't you go home?" Listening to Wu Yue's tone, he didn't seem to have any intention of going home.
"Not going back." Although Wu Yue's family is slightly wealthy, it is not as good as Meng Zhou's family, the most important thing is that there is a stepmother and stepbrother at home, and he doesn't want to go back.
"And where are you going?" Meng Zhou understood Wu Yue's rejection of his family, "Why don't you go back to the forbidden military camp and see what happened to those who were eliminated?" ”
"How old are you, it's not a shame to still play this game." Zhang Qi shook his head, speechless at the simple-minded Meng Zhou.
"What's there, even if we don't do it, there will be others who go back to show off their might." Meng Zhou didn't believe that he had such thoughts, how could people not compare with each other, and sometimes beat the water dogs.
"The Winged King will not allow the guards to come into contact with the Forbidden Army again." Zheng Cao said matter-of-factly, "We are the personal guards of the Wing King, the forbidden army is the emperor's, and the Wing King will not make the mistake of colluding and sitting." ”
"How, the Winged King never said." Meng Zhou was incredulous, "Then we meet on the street in the future, do we have to pretend that we don't know anything, this is too unreasonable." "How can you interfere with other people's friendships, don't you know that one more friend has one more way out.
"We don't have the waist badge representing the Forbidden Army on us." Zheng Cao reminded, "The Winged King has already prepared, but we didn't find out, don't make trouble for yourself, and the Winged King won't be able to protect it then." "It's not alarmism, it's reality.
"And no one is watching." Meng Zhou muttered dissatisfiedly, who would know, "If you can't go to the forbidden military camp, can't you touch it on the street?" "Everyone lives in Beijing, and they don't look up and see each other, and they don't believe that there is no chance of a chance encounter.
"Don't forget the Man in Black." Wu Yue didn't want to go to the forbidden military camp to find trouble, "It's possible that the Wing King will send a man in black to follow, not in the light but in the dark, and in terms of time, do you think half a day is enough?" ”
"The Winged King isn't so despicable, is he?" Meng Zhou had a hard time believing Wu Yue's words, "Why, everyone is not from the same place, why should they be separated?" "Didn't you say that the emperor stood behind the Wing King?
"To do it for others to see." Zhang Qi took over and said, "Things in the officialdom are complicated, and if you are not careful, you may lose everything, don't forget that the Wing King is on the cusp of the storm, and the identity of the Wing King is enough to attract people's attention." ”
"The battle for the throne is not clear, the relationship between the Wing King and the two princes is chaotic and I can't figure out the key points, it's best to be cautious and try not to touch superfluous things." Zheng Ke said, "We don't have the officialdom of the old fox who is not slippery, and we don't hear much about eating people and not spitting out bones?" ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you want to go?" Meng Zhou was upset and irritable when he heard this.
"Buy some food to improve." Wu Yue made a plan, went back to buy more beef snacks, and usually took them to eat to pad his stomach.
"Then Zhang Qi and I will go hunting with others tomorrow morning." Meng Zhou mentioned that hunting was in a much better mood, "If you can catch a bigger prey, it will be delicious to burn it and eat it." "I'm hungry, and my saliva is about to flow out at the slightest mention of it.
"What do you have for me to piggyback?" Wu Yue asked, "The thing can't be too big, I can't take it alone." "It is even more impossible to hire someone to send it up the mountain, and the secret location is completely destroyed.
"Meat." Meng Zhou is not greedy. "I don't want to bring barrels of wine anymore, I want that kind of bamboo tube, so that I can take it and tie it to my waist."
"The Winged King lets you drink?" It's not that Zhang Qi wants to pour cold water on Meng Zhou, but I really haven't heard of it.
"This ......" Wu Yue frowned, he really hadn't heard that he was in trouble for a while.
"If you don't bring a small tube, don't let you drink it, and occasionally relieve your cravings, it's not a lot of stamina wine, and one or two sips won't get in the way." Meng Zhou originally wanted Wu Yue to buy three cylinders, but after listening to Zhang Qi's words, he reduced the amount.
"You have to buy more meat, half of the dried meat, which is Li Ji's jerky, which is strong when chewed, and can be stored for a long time, and it is not afraid of bad in winter." Meng Zhou made a request.
"Me too." Zhang Qi doesn't have anything to eat, so it's a good choice to save some jerky.
"That's fine." Wu Yue made a note, "What about the clothes, do you want to prepare some?" "It's mainly the clothes inside, and the winged king on the outside is uniformly distributed.
"I want to." Zhang Qi was the first to speak, and the cuffs of his underwear were frayed, and it was time to change them.
Meng Zhou nodded, wanting Wu Yue to go back to his house to get clothes, thinking that Wu Yue would have that time alone, then buy it. (To be continued......)
