Chapter Seventy-Five: An Awkward Draw
Yu Hengxing was so frightened that his face turned pale, and secretly screamed, "My life is over!" Because she had a sudden accident, the moment she flew sideways was when the old power was exhausted and the new power was not born, coupled with the relationship between the angle of her body, she had no time to take any measures, so she could only close her eyes and wait for her body to hit the flying sword.
In terms of the sharpness of the flying sword, this collision must be the end of direct penetration.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Yu Hengxing. When her delicate body was less than three inches away from the blade, a loud shout suddenly sounded in her ears, and then she was kicked in the back of the waist, and her whole body rose several feet upward.
Although the pain of this foot was unbearable, but there was still a trace of internal force in it, with the help of this internal force, Yu Hengxing hurriedly followed the upward trend, a harrier turned over, and gently and skillfully landed on the wood-carved willow roe deer a little farther away.
When she stood firm and turned her head to look at it, she saw the lights out road chief lying on the ground on all fours, the blade of the flying sword only half an inch away from his head. Lao Dao looked frightened, so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
Yu Hengxing only reacted at this time, just now when the lights went out, the Dao Chief sacrificed his life to save him.
This special situation made her stunned, and she was stunned for a while on the wood carving, not knowing how to react. I only heard Beichen Zhenren in the distance say loudly: "Your Majesty, Yuhengxing's skills are superior and he has won this game." ”
"Oh, good—" "Awesome! Wonderful! The crowd on the royal staircase erupted in cheers again.
Because the imperial step was the farthest away from the southern end of the twenty-eight constellations, and Yu Hengxing and the lights out Dao Chang moved extremely fast, so except for Beichen, Zhao Liang and Xu Fu, all the spectators, including Qin Shi Huang, only saw the lights out Dao Chang suddenly fall to the ground, while Yu Hengxing was still standing firmly on the wood carving.
Xu Fu saw that Beichen was cheeky and snatched the victory, and was about to protest dissatisfied, but was pulled by Zhao Liang next to him: "Don't be impulsive!" The Dao Leader did land first, and it is useless for you to say anything, but you will be caught by the other party! ”
Xu Fu was slightly stunned, and understood that what Zhao Liang said made sense, so he stopped making a noise in anger.
At this time, the lights out Dao Chang walked up with a body of dust, and said apologetically to Zhao Liang: "Immortal Chief, I'm sorry, Xiaodao...... Xiaodao lost. ”
"It's okay, there's another one." Zhao Liang comforted him and said, "You are also eager to save people's hearts, I understand." ”
Xu Fu on the side asked, "Senior brother, why did you save that female demon?" Could it be that you have a crush on her? ”
The Elder of the Lights Out Road blushed and muttered in a low voice, "What are you talking about?!" She was most likely an apprentice of one of my dear friends. In the face of that person, I really can't bear to see her die. ”
Zhao Liang was curious: "What happened just now, why did she suddenly fall?" ”
"It's not that they're to blame," Lights Out replied, "The wood carving that Yu Hengxing landed on earlier is the Winged Fire Snake." In order to deceive us, Beichen Lao'er poured a lot of oil on it, so as soon as Yu Hengxing stepped on it, the soles of his feet slipped. ”
Zhao Liang was about to speak again, only to hear Qin Shi Huang's voice coming from the imperial steps: "Okay, each side wins one game, and the tie is temporary, and then it's a key show." National Teacher and Mr. Zhao Liang, please show it. ”
Beichen Zhenren hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Please also ask Your Majesty to ask the question." ”
Qin Shi Huang first looked at Beichen, then at Zhao Liang, and said with a smile: "Although the two battles just now are wonderful, they are not what I want. ”
When everyone present heard this, they knew that there must be a reason for it, so they all quietly listened to Qin Shi Huang and continued: "If you want to talk about the skills of both of you to defeat the enemy with fire and kill people with swords, in fact, I am not uncommon. No matter how powerful it is, can it be more powerful than my Great Qin Iron Horse? Needless to say, just transfer a team of 1,000 heavy cavalry to make an ordinary charge, and all fire, swords, spells and martial arts will be crushed into powder by my soldiers. Isn't it? ”
"Long live my emperor," Beichen hurriedly replied with sincere fear: "Great Qin warriors, the world is invincible!" How can we wait for these micro-end techniques to be qualified to be compared with the Qin army? ”
Qin Shi Huang nodded: "Yes, so, what I want in my heart is not those mysterious kung fu." Rather......" He paused slightly, "and who has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth?" Who is the true immortal who can bring me immortality? ”
Zhao Liangxin said: No one can bring you immortality. Counting the days, it is estimated that your old man will only have one year left to live.
Of course, Qin Shi Huang didn't know what Zhao Liang was thinking at this time, of course, if he knew, it was estimated that he would have to call the heavy armored cavalry on the spot to press Zhao Liang into powder first.
I only heard him continue: "I have thought of a topic, and I plan to see the true skills of the two masters. As he spoke, Qin Shi Huang clapped his hands lightly, and several chamberlains carried two three-foot square, identical lacquer boxes up the imperial steps. I saw that the two large lacquer boxes were made of exquisite materials and fine workmanship, and there were seals on the lids.
Qin Shi Huang pointed to the lacquer box and said: "There are two treasures in it, one is from North Korea, and the other is from Baiyue. Lis, come and see, is there any mark on the box? ”
Hearing this, Prime Minister Li Si walked forward quickly, walked around the two lacquer boxes carefully, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has just checked it." The two lacquer boxes are identical, and even the seals and seals on them are exactly the same, without any special markings or markings. ”
"Okay, that's good." Qin Shi Huang said with a smile: "Not only is the appearance of the box the same, but before that, I also specially ordered a team of forbidden soldiers to carry these two lacquer boxes into the dark room and place them at will, and then let another team of forbidden soldiers carry them out and take strict care of them." So now, even I can't make out which lacquer box contains which treasure. Come on, bring them to the Dharma platform. ”
With Qin Shi Huang's order, several chamberlains placed the twin lacquer boxes in front of Zhao Liang and Beichen respectively.
"Tell me what's in the box within a stick of incense?" Qin Shi Huang ordered the two people on the platform.
In fact, there is no need for a stick of incense, just now Zhao Liang had already used the mind reading technique on Qin Shi Huang, and knew that the two treasures in the lacquer box, one was the Northern Liao Xuanwang ginseng, and the other was the night pearl of the South China Sea. But the trouble now is that Qin Shi Huang himself doesn't know which one was given to Zhao Liang and which one was given to Beichen!
I, Nima, Qin Shi Huang's comical operation, even the almighty mind reading technique can't be used! This time, I really want the master's own life!
Beads of sweat oozed from Zhao Liang's head, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Beichen real person on the Dharma platform next to him. I saw that the old guy was already sitting cross-legged in front of the lacquer box at this time, his eyes were closed, his hands were pinched, and he was still muttering words in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was muttering.
Zhao Liang evoked his spiritual sense and unfolded the Dafa of Peeping at Beichen, and an old voice suddenly appeared: Hmph, this time Lao Tzu has won! Thanks to Gonggong Chen's timely ventilation last night, he was able to arrange everything calmly, just waiting for a while, when the hour comes, he will definitely make that Zhao Liang lose face, hahaha......
Beichen Zhenren's heart was full of pride, but there was no clue about how to win, which made Zhao Liang scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously. He had an idea, turned around and took a few steps to Xu Fu, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know which one is Gonggong Chen?" ”
"Grandpa Chen?" Xu Fu endured the pain and frowned: "The chamberlain surnamed Chen in this palace has not a hundred but eighty, I don't know who the immortal chief is asking?" ”
Zhao Liang secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and hurriedly added: "The highest position, Gonggong Chen, who can be an errand in front of the emperor." ”
"Oh, you're talking about Chen Xiang, right?" Xu Fu raised his hand and pointed to the group of eunuchs standing under the imperial stairs and said, "The second one from the left is." His position is not too high, but he is a clever man who is deeply loved by His Majesty. But what do you ask him to do? ”
Zhao Liang didn't care about answering him, and hurriedly set his eyes on the body of the chamberlain Chen Xiang, only to hear Chen's father-in-law think in his heart: Oh, I don't know if that incense tube doesn't work? If something goes wrong with the old man of the national teacher later, won't the glory and wealth of the rest of my life be finished together? God forbid, God forbid.
Zhao Liang couldn't help but be stunned: What incense? He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized: it was most likely that this Chen Xiang had smeared a little special spice on a certain treasure before the lacquer box was closed, just like the soul chasing talisman that Qixingzi gave to the old village chief's arm, which could emit a special smell that was not easy to detect. Beichen Zhenren only needs to carefully identify it, if there is such a faint fragrance in the lacquer box in front of him, it is the treasure that Chen Xiang has moved, otherwise, it is another one.
Damn, it's so insidious, can this work?!
Since Zhao Liang figured out the other party's trick, his mood instantly improved. Beichen, Beichen, your old boy never imagined it, you can use the trick of "either/or", and I will do the same! After you say the answer, the other is my correct answer, at most it is a draw, are you afraid that you will not succeed?
Thinking about it, Zhao Liang paced on the platform easily, not at all like Beichen Zhenren, sitting upright and pretending to be a ghost. His performance attracted a lot of discussion from the audience, I don't know if Zhao Liang is confident? Or is it a broken can?
Not long after waiting for time, the fine incense used for timing had burned out, and the little chamberlain rang a bronze bell and announced loudly: "The time is up——"
At the same time, Beichen Zhenren opened his eyes, first rose on the spot, and then fell back to the table with ease, looking like he was winning.
Zhao Liang also hurriedly stopped his steps and stood still in the middle of the platform. At the same time, he quietly opened his spiritual sense, and heard a voice in Beichen's heart: he didn't smell the aroma of "Jing Siyan", it didn't seem to be the night pearl of the South China Sea. Well, it must be the Northern Liao Xuanwang ginseng!
Zhao Liangxin said: Oh? It turns out that you are Xuanwang ginseng? Then I'm the Pearl of the Night!
At this time, I only heard Qin Shi Huang ask: "Two masters, what is the result?" ”
Beichen Zhenren preemptively said: "Your Majesty, this treasure in front of Weichen is the Northern Liao Xuanwang ginseng paid tribute by North Korea. ”
Zhao Liang replied without thinking: "I am the night pearl of the South China Sea!" ”
"Oh? So powerful, huh? Qin Shi Huang looked happy, and laughed and said: "Amazing, the two of you said the name of the treasure as soon as you opened your mouth, and you really have some Taoism." But whether it's accurate or not, you have to open it and take a look. ”
With his words, the four little eunuchs divided into groups of two, ascended to the altar, and tore off the seal of the lacquer box with all hands and feet, and opened the lid of the box.
Unexpectedly, after the lacquer box was opened, there was still a layer of packaging inside.
The package was a dry lump of mud, and it was tightly pasted up and down, left and right. The little eunuch stretched out his hand to crush the dry mud, and a thick layer of brocade cloth was revealed inside, and when the brocade cloth wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside was removed, a small gold box appeared.
The eunuchs on both sides took out the gold box almost at the same time, and slowly opened the lid in front of everyone.
The civil and military officials fixed their eyes and saw that among the two gold boxes, what was placed was indeed the Northern Liao Xuanwang Ginseng and the South China Sea Night Pearl!
However, what is extremely surprising is that what is in front of Beichen Zhenren is not Xuanwang ginseng but the night pearl, and Zhao Liang's side is not the night pearl but the Xuanwang ginseng. These two guys actually guessed the opposite.
Embarrassing, you say, isn't it embarrassing?
Not only Zhao Liang and Beichen Zhenren looked confused, but even Qin Shi Huang was a little unable to sit still, he said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on, can any of you explain it to me?" ”
Beichen secretly complained in his heart. Who would have thought that Qin Shi Huang would take such pains to fight for this imperial battle. It's packed in four layers inside and out, and it's mud sealed! Moreover, this wave of unbelievable operations successfully concealed all his eyeliner in the palace, and he really deserves to be a master of palace struggle! Just now, the aroma of "Jing Siyan" was sealed in layers of wrapping and could not be emitted at all, which caused me to misjudge. But...... What about Zhao Liang, that guy?
At this time, Zhao Liang was reading Beichen's heart, not only secretly scolding: How could I? It's not that you've been harmed by your old turtle! If you want to say east, I'll say west: if you want to say fight dogs, I'll say chickens, it's a good draw, who knew you were so unreliable!
Qin Shi Huang on the throne was a little impatient, and urged: "Say? What the hell is going on? Why are you two opposites? ”
