Prologue Chapter 40 The Royal Banquet
Seeing that Jiang Yun didn't seem to be planning to stop it, General Li said in his heart: It's hard to ride a tiger, so just continue to make it up.
"I heard that this ranger killed more than one demon beast. β
glanced at everyone, but saw the three of them nodding in unison. I had to bite the bullet and continue to make up:
"This person is single-handed, walking the rivers and lakes, often helping people in distress and saving people in danger"
Looking at the three of them again, I was still expecting him to continue speaking, and my heart said: Okay, since you want to hear it, then I will make it up for you:
"And he is not a lover of money, but a hateful hate. Born tall and strong... Heroic"
Fang Wenqing interjected: "Hmm... It's tall and strong, but it's not heroic, and it's a bit stupid and obscene... If you don't love money, you don't like ......."
Su Mei rolled her eyes, "You poor scholar deserve to be obscene?" Didn't you also say that he may not be interested in money?"
Jiang Yun also commented seriously: "In all fairness, it's a little silly, but it's still quite cute." β
Su Mei felt that this sentence had gone to her heart, and nodded vigorously at Jiang Yun......
This General Li usually likes to listen to some chivalrous stories, but he can't make them up anymore, so he thinks that he can go to chivalrous stories and pull on the love of his children...
"Do you know why this young man walks the rivers and lakes alone?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison
"But He Was Wounded by Love"
"Hmm...?emotional sadness, I haven't heard of it."
"Emotional wounds are the most painful wounds in the world, there are no scars, but they are more painful than knife wounds. β
"Oh....."
"This young man originally had a child of the rivers and lakes who loved each other. β
"Hmm?.... Who is it?" I saw Su Mei biting her lip and trembling in a trembling voice, biting her red and bright lips into blue and white.
This General Li saw that the reaction of the crowd was too great, especially this Su girl, I was afraid that there was something wrong with her brain, and the reaction was so intense... Chivalrous stories have been told -- this man is angry, blood is splashed five steps, who is angry, the corpse is thousands of miles, this is the great immortal master......... must not be guarded against, Dingshen continued to make up:
"Dead"
"Who died?"
"The woman this young man loves!"
"How did you die?"
"On that day, the six demon beasts besieged Shaoxia, and the person loved by Shaoxia died to save Shaoxia. β
"Really?.... Dead ......" Su Mei patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The young man walks alone in the rivers and lakes, just to walk through the flowers and the moon before the two of them, and reminisce about the love of the children"
"Uh...... Are you sure?"
"What others say, I can be sure. I heard that this woman left a few last words when she died, and he must remember them. β
"Last words? What did you say...?"
"The woman said, 'I'm going to die, and you have to promise me three conditions:"
"On what terms?"
"One, I allow you to feel sorry for me for a while, but I don't allow you to feel sorry for me forever. β
"What about two?"
"Two, I allow you to find another wife, but she must truly love you.
"And the third?"
"Three, I allow you to come and worship me, but you can't bring your wife, because I'm still stingy after all.
"This sister is really pitiful......" After all, Su Mei is not deeply involved in the world, and it is naturally easy to be moved when he hears the stories of the rivers and lakes.....
"This man was hurt by love, and since then he has been a little disheartened, and he has looked down on everything in the world, and no second person can enter his heart, so he has walked the rivers and lakes alone, coming and going without a trace, and never staying in one place for long. If you ask me where he is now, it's not just me, no one knows..."
"Who are you listening to?" Su Mei continued to ask.
"Uh.... I don't remember which sergeant heard about it in the army a few days ago. β
"You kid me not?..... It shouldn't have lied to me" No matter how big Ren Sumei's eyes were, she couldn't hold back her tears at this time, and the big tears fell straight down.....
"I heard that knights walk in the rivers and lakes, and those people have lived in the rivers and lakes... The leaves don't stick to you... Have you heard of another story about a young man that has been widely circulated recently?" This general didn't dare to provoke Su Mei again, and finally got the ghost thing back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's the story of the young man?" Su Mei was a little interested...
"It's said that a few days ago, a young man killed a demon beast alone in Suxian Mountain. saved a group of people, and also used righteousness to squander wealth so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, "
"And then?" Sumei was interested again
"At that time, the demon beasts of Suxian Mountain were rampant, and it was said that the first lady in Chen Guo, Le Weixuan, was born as beautiful as a flower, and she was knowledgeable and courteous, virtuous and gentle. Unfortunately, he was dispelled by the demon beast and scattered his entourage, and he was exiled to a small inn next to Suxian Mountain. β
"Why is there another woman?"
"When the young man saw that Miss Le was alone, the flowers crying in the inn were discolored, and the pear blossoms brought rain, so he was moved with compassion."
"Didn't you say you were hurt?"
"Alas, this is talking about another young man"
"Hey, you continue" Su Mei's mood suddenly relaxed a little.
"This single-handedly escorted Miss Nale and a group of merchants to New Sioux City."
"Coming to Xinsu?"
"The road is really not smooth, I met hundreds of demon beasts, how did you say this demon beast?"
"How?"
"The monster beast was born with a big waist and a round waist, one arm thicker than my thigh, and one thigh ......" This General Li was about to pull it off, but when he saw Jiang Yun glaring at him with an eye, he was obviously a little angry, and couldn't help laughing.
"Ed.... You give me the next edit.... Why don't you make it up? Did this young man roar and scare the monster beast?" Jiang Yun knew that he was talking nonsense, but he brought Su Mei into the pit, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Alas... Miss, you've heard about it, yes... It's just a roar, but there is still a paragraph in the original version, which means that this young man took out a strange-looking magic bow and pointed it at the sky....... Hi... Hi... Hi... Miss... You say... You say, you say genuine. General Li saw that Miss was angry, and he dared to talk nonsense, although this paragraph was really heard, but it was all hearsay, and he didn't believe it.
"You're still addicted to making up, this general is free, aren't you? I listen to those storytellers talk about all kinds of interpretations every day... Don't you need to practice? Now even I dare to make it?" Jiang Yun was really angry, and he tried his best to ensure that Li An became a general, but he didn't think that he would be a wine and meat general...
"The little one doesn't dare, please punish the young lady. This General Li didn't care about the majesty and etiquette that this general should have, and knelt on the ground with a "poof".
Jiang Yun was a little irritable, "People who are dozens of years old, what is the punishment?" Don't you know that this Leweixuan's Lejia is doing a ticket number business. On both continents, they are big families that can call the wind and rain. A few demon beasts scared the entourage away, I ask you, will you be scared away by the demon beasts, and leave me as a young lady..."
General Li is bitter in his heart, if I answer: I would rather die than leave Miss. This young lady will scold him for not having a rule and talking to the young lady. Shut up and don't answer, right? Will Miss think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, regardless of kindness, and really leave Miss to hide from the demon beast.
Su Mei also knew that General Li was talking nonsense, but she was convinced of the previous story. This poignant love story should be true, Su Wen has a melancholy look from beginning to end, absent-minded every day, and doesn't know what to think? It turns out that he not only has a poor background, but this love road is also extremely bumpy.....
..........
was fooled by this General Li, and the original topic didn't know which ditch it was taken to.
Fang Wenqing was very interested in any inside story about demon beasts. reminded Jiang Yun and said: "When the princess talks about the war between this demon beast, please tell the princess the details." β
Jiang Yun was tossed by this General Li and lost interest in speaking, and he couldn't lift his spirits lazily, so he made a long story short: "Since ancient times, demon beasts have collectively migrated a large number of people to the northern ice field every year, but they never look back, and they don't know where they went. Fortunately, we humans can still survive.
But according to the records of the former Soviet Dynasty and the royal families of various countries, there are always some demon beasts who do not go to the north for some reason, stay in the mainland and be with ordinary beasts, giving birth to countless half-demon and half-beast hybrids, and roaring in the mountains and forests with these hybrids. Gather for a while, and when the momentum is strong, there will be a big battle with the demon beasts. It's just that battlefields tend to be far away from areas of human activity and are not often explored.
Some knights and scholars have taken flying cars and observed from afar to have these records. Therefore, the flying cars of various countries observe the activities of the mountains and forests every day to determine the purpose of the demon beasts gathering, whether to attack humans or strangle the half-bloods. β
Jiang Yun said a long time, but he was tired and waved his hand.
This General Li was used to doing these things, so he hurriedly called into his entourage and prepared to arrange for the young lady to rest first.
Someone was about to lift the soft couch, but heard someone report: "Songcheng County Shou asks to see"
This Song City is just a small city with soldiers, and it was originally not a county, but because it was the enclave of the Song State in Xinsu, at the foot of the imperial city, the position of the official must be higher.
The county guard was able to pass the word, and entered the city in three steps and two steps. He saluted the princess first, and then glanced at the idle people around him.
General Li arranged for his entourage to retreat, and when the county guard saw that there were still three people left in the hall, he naturally knew that this was the princess's henchmen and staff. He took out a letter from the palace and stepped forward, the cover still fresh in ink, apparently just written. Jiang Yun waved his hand and asked Fang Wenqing to take it apart and study it.
The county guard was taken aback: Is the princess not polite? Or does she not take Emperor Su in her eyes? Although it is not a holy decree, how can the letters from this palace be faked by others?
... However, this young man is an important person, and he needs to be closer and closer in the future.
Fang Wenqing finished reading the letter, posted it in Jiang Yun's ear and whispered: "This palace asks, if you want to hold a royal banquet to catch the wind for Her Royal Highness the princess, please set a time for the princess."
Jiang Yun said quietly: "According to the agreement, Lu Wei will send news today, and only if he successfully takes over the Northern Army, we will participate in the imperial banquet." β
Fang Wenqing said to the county: "Please reply to the visitor, Her Royal Highness the princess has been tired of traveling and has already rested, please come to stay for half a day." β
The county guard returned: "No"
Secretly slandered in my heart: I'm afraid you're a princess bigger than King Song! This county guard handled foreign affairs in Xinsu, but he knew some of the secrets of the Song Kingdom.
Thinking of this princess's past, if it wasn't for Emperor Su's interference back then, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be the Seven Kingdoms now, and there is nothing wrong with such a ruthless person acting like this......
After a while, I thought of this General Li, such a wild and rude guy, who actually won the favor of the princess, alas.....
........
After a short while, a speeding car carrying the messenger fell.
Jiang Yun read the letter, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth. He whispered to Fang Wenqing: "Lu Wei has safely taken over the Northern Army the day before yesterday, so the sooner this imperial banquet is, the better....."
......
A little later, Su Wen also received a letter. After reading it, I made a mistake: the letter was written in ancient traditional characters, which was a bit laborious to read. Only then did I realize that I had thought about things simply--the ancient books of the old Soviet Dynasty were so vast that I read one every day, and I didn't know that I would read it until that year.
In the summer, the body is weak and spends most of the time sleeping. When I woke up, I saw Su Wen holding a letter and was in a daze. couldn't help but ask, "Does Brother Su have old acquaintances in Xinsu?"
"Oh, you're awake?... I have a ghost acquaintance in Xinsu, and this invitation was sent by the palace, saying that I was invited to the palace tomorrow to attend a banquet as a warrior. Su Wen saw that he woke up in the summer, and he was a little comfortable, he received the emperor's invitation as soon as he arrived in Xinsu City, and of course he had face in front of the girl.
"That's a good thing, isn't Brother Su going to the palace to read a book? β
"Hey... You're so naΓ―ve, can you read this emperor's book casually? It's not that simple..... The palace is too big, and no one can lead it, and you can't find the imperial study. β
Su Wenle, I'm a person in a modern civilized society, we know everything.
"I went to the Forbidden City when I was a kid,... I went on a trip with my parents that year.... The Forbidden City... Oops, it's all people, people are crowded, people are crowded. At that time, I was still young, and I was caught in and out. β
Su Wen was also depressed, he had been to the palace once, why did he have to go on a long vacation? Squeezed around, it was the same as if he had never been there! If you want to say where this imperial study is, I really have no impression.
"Brother Su, do you know when you are the cutest?" Xia looked at Su Wen with a pair of round eyes.
Seeing her looking at herself with admiration on her face, Su Wen felt that this was taking advantage of the higher civilization over the lower civilization, and she was quite invincible.
Seeing that Su Wen was uncooperative, Xia said to himself: "You are a serious brag, and when you brag to the point that you believe it, you are the cutest..."
Su Wen choked in one breath and was speechless in embarrassment...... There's really no way to explain this, forget it, talk less in the future.
Xia didn't give up: "Didn't you say that you haven't been to Xinsu City? Aren't you from the mountains? One of my village aunts also knows that the emperor and the empress's family live in this palace." I'm afraid that your family is going to be in a hurry, right? Your mother saw that there were a lot of people in the virtual scene, so she lied to you to play, right? I really believed it for so many years. β
"You...... Su Wen wanted to speak and stopped, feeling that the things that accompanied him in the past few days had been done in vain....
At this time, Tang Ruirui's giggling sound came from outside the window and door... Before the person arrived, the voice drifted in:
"Haha... I thought no one would be able to control your. It's still Miss Xia who is amazing.... Miss Xia, and bow to me, the little woman is polite..."After speaking, even with Summer, the flowers and branches of laughter trembled.
Summer laughed twice and screamed, "Ouch, ouch". Su Wen knew that he had pulled the wound. The tone was not good, and he shouted at Tang Ruirui:
"How idle do you have to be as an imperial doctor in a hospital, and you come to listen to the corner every day, so that no one will check that you have left your post without permission?"
Tang Ruirui knew that she was at a loss, and her face was red, so she didn't know what to do with him: "You will also bully me, you two quarrel, what are you doing scolding me?" I kindly helped you bring the letter, and if you don't want me, I will return it." β
Su Wen wondered: Why are there so many letters? Did anyone clear my cart for me?
Tang Ruirui saw the invitation on the yellow silk cover on the table. "Huh, how can you have an edict from the palace here?"
"What edict?
"I'm afraid I didn't mean your invitation," Summer said.
"Oh.... That's what you mean? Someone sent me an invitation just now. The two of us were studying it, and the invitation said: The emperor invited me to dinner, and said that after eating and taking the exam, I would be an official after the exam. I'm wondering if your officials in the Su Dynasty are too child's play. Just have a meal and take a test?..... I can eat, but the exam will be waived, and I still have the self-knowledge not to be ugly. β
Tang Ruirui heard it inexplicably, didn't I hear that the emperor would send an invitation to dinner? I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding. Stretched out his hand towards Su Wen.
Su Wen scolded her a few words without thinking, and was regretting it. Seeing her stretch out her hand, she quickly handed over the invitation.
Tang Ruirui unfolded the book and read it out loud to himself: "The writer who heard the Su family is known for his courage and can defeat the demon ..... with his strength."
Looking up at Su Wen, his eyes were wandering, and he was a little suspicious; This section is to invite you to the palace for dinner tomorrow. But... This rhetoric... Debatable. Can these officials also believe in the legends of the market? Look at the ..... that boasted of you I'm ashamed to say that you can fight with monsters?... Becoming a hero of the world?"
Su Wen said: "That's right, I've fought with demon beasts twice, and the current winning rate is 100%. β
The second daughter doesn't know what 100% means, and the tone is about 100 percent... Glancing at each other, the meaning in their eyes was probably --- This thing is starting to talk again.
After getting along for a few days, the two have become accustomed to Su Wen's way of speaking without boundaries...
Tang Ruirui was afraid that his character would suffer if he went to the palace, so he continued to read: "Today, the husband has a person who can do things, but he may not be able to make progress, and an enterprising person may not be able to do things. β
After reading it, he simply looked at Su Wen, with a cunning in his eyes, meaning, you can explain it.
Su Wen is really not afraid, hey I also graduated from college and look down on me?" means that you Su Dynasty officialdom is dark, good people don't want to be officials, and those who want to be officials are vicious. Hey, so your emperor is self-aware, I'm afraid it's not the three provinces themselves every day? I could have told him how to catch flies, how to catch tigers... We've got experience... It's about catching tigers... There is no other way, first of all, you have to rely on the little three, in other words, this little three... has been on the front line of anti-corruption and clean government, and they ............"
Su Wen saw that the two of them had bad eyes, and knew that they were talking a lot, so he quickly shrunk his neck and Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Tang Ruirui thought to herself, this sentence is understood?.... Hi.. That's pretty much right, so be it. Tired.....
I had no choice but to continue to read: "If you are brave and brave, you will be able to defend yourself in the face of the enemy, and you will be able to defend the people who are wise and brave in order to treat the strategy with your military strategy, and you will be able to shoot with great martial arts. β
Tang Ruirui finished reading and continued to stare at Su Wen.
Su Wen didn't dare to talk nonsense this time, and replied seriously: "This is to say... The emperor is short of manpower, recruiting workers, the recruitment conditions are: can fight, strong martial artsγ-- that means I am like this. She can ride a horse and shoot arrows - it's like that in the summer, but she won't be able to play tomorrow, and she won't be able to get up. How do you recruit workers? It reads: Imperial Examination -- Examination of Martial Arts. β
Tang Ruirui was a little surprised: "Do you understand?"
"Is that wrong? The emperor invites him to eat, and after eating and taking the exam, he will be an official if he takes the exam. β
"Uh...... Yes, yes, but why do I just think something is wrong?" Tang Ruirui began to doubt life. Why don't I want to believe everything this man says.....
Summer watched the two chatting, and her heart was inexplicably a little pantothenic.
