Tian Luo was so angry that he hit the horse forward, as far as he could from Xia Yu. She said it without reason, and the time to lure the enemy has happened.

Xia Yu talked and laughed with Yan Shoucheng on the surface, but on the inside, he was on strict guard, not leaving Su Yuexin and Xiaoman's left and right.

While talking, the group came to the palace.

The main hall was filled with food and wine, and in the center was a large golden plate with a dozen roast chickens, steaming outward.

After Xiaoman sat down, he was amazed: "I love roast chicken the most." After speaking, he took the lead in grabbing a roast chicken.

"Your Majesty, the child is ignorant, please forgive me."

Yan Shoucheng said with a smile: "The little girl is innocent, how can this king blame." ”

What made Xia Yu slightly dissatisfied was that when Xiaoman ate a large roast chicken and Tian Luo raised his chopsticks, he secretly used a silver needle to test whether the food was poisonous. On the surface, she cares for Xiaoman, but behind the scenes, she dislikes her.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank with Yan Shoucheng, the guests and hosts were happy, Yan Shoucheng was sincerely friendly with them, and there was no insincerity. 、

When the banquet was about to disperse, a general named Song Tao was drunk, pushed Yan Shoucheng away, and said with a mouth full of wine: "Yan Shoucheng, get out of the way of Lao Tzu." Let me sit on this dragon chair of yours. ”

Xia Yu was about to stop it, but Song Tao was already sitting on the dragon chair with a buttocks, and laughed wildly: "Lao Tzu sits on the dragon chair in his dreams every day, and he didn't expect to really sit on the dragon chair today." It doesn't feel much different from a regular chair! ”

"Presumptuous, Song Tao, come down for me!" Xia Yu forcibly pulled Song Tao off the dragon chair.

Who knew that Song Tao hugged the dragon chair stubbornly: "Presumptuous, I finally sat on the dragon chair, do you want to pull me down?" No way! Come on, pull out their whole family and behead them, and leave no one behind! ”

Xia Yu and the others couldn't cry or laugh, he had no problem pulling Song Tao up, in case he damaged the dragon chair, Yan Shoucheng couldn't be in a hurry with him, secretly observed Yan Shoucheng's expression, the other party lowered his head and didn't say a word. In less than a moment, he raised his head and said with a smile: "General Song is really a man of temperament, and the Fanzheng Dragon Chair is just made of ordinary wood, so it doesn't hurt if he wants to sit on it." ”

The dragon chair is a symbol of the dignity of a monarch, even if it is changed to Xia Yu, it definitely does not have such a big belly, Yan Shoucheng actually did not have a seizure. When things are impermanent, there must be demons.

Song Tao finally staggered down from the dragon chair.

Yan Shoucheng accompanied them out of the main hall, and in the square, they saw a dead tree, surrounded by a guardrail made of chicken blood jade, and dozens of guards took turns to stand guard there.

At this time, another general blew through the wind, and the wine was full of enthusiasm: "At that time, General Wei had set up a general monument in Yelang, and I, Shen Lang, also arrived in this Yelang country today, and I want to inscribe a line on this tree: Shen Lang is here for a visit." As he spoke, he drew his sword and walked towards the dead tree.

"Stop!" The guard drew his sword, his face like frost.

"General Shen, you are too deceitful, if you dare to engrave words on the sacred tree of our Yelang Kingdom, my Yelang Kingdom will fight against the ...... If you fight for the martyrdom of the whole country, you will die with you! Yan Shoucheng was furious. Sitting on his dragon chair, he can endure it, but to desecrate their sacred tree is a great sin.

Xia Yu sighed secretly, Shen Lang, you are really a wave!

The generals tried their best to dissuade him, but Shen Lang suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the generals hurriedly surrounded him. Who knew that this thing was loaded, and one flew up, high above the leader of the people, and the long sword circled the tree, carving a scratch.

Xia Yu made a timely move, knocking Shen Lang out of the guardrail and falling to the ground.

Yan Shoucheng shouted: "Come on, surround them all, we don't have to endure it anymore!" Kill! ”

In a hurry, a group of guards surrounded them.

Xia Yu's eyes narrowed into a slit and looked at Yan Shoucheng: "Your Majesty, do you really want to fight to the death with us?" ”

Yan Shoucheng had some scruples after all: "General Xia, it was you who were rude first, what else should you do?" ”

"The phoenix tree is an extremely rare species, and it is said that when it blooms, it can attract the phoenix to fly on it. If all the people in the country of Yelang are dead, then what is the use of this tree? ”

Yan Shoucheng knew that what Xia Yu said was true, and stared at everyone with red eyes: "However, if you desecrate it, you must pay for it!" ”

Xia Yu looked down at the body of the tree and said confidently: "Your Majesty, if I can make the dead trees of the Phoenix Tree bloom again in spring." Can we break the festival between us? ”

"Hmph, that's impossible. The phoenix tree has been withered for three years, if you have this ability, then you are the benefactor of our Yelang country, if you ask for something, Yelang country will never say a word! Yan Shoucheng categorically didn't believe that what Xia Yu said was true, but Xia Yu could recognize the phoenix tree and tell its characteristics, and he hoped in his heart that Xia Yu could heal the phoenix tree, so his attitude wavered.

"If my guess is correct, the reason why the phoenix tree died was about three years ago, right?"

Hearing this, Yan Shoucheng's complexion changed abruptly, and even his voice became trembling: "How do you know?" ”

Regarding how the phoenix tree died, it was thanks to Shen Lang who slashed a sword on the tree, and after the bark was cut, red marks were revealed inside.

Yan Shoucheng no longer had any doubts about Xia Yu's words at this time, and said sincerely: "General Xia, please take action and treat our Divine Tree in time." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and ran down to Xia Yu, densely, kneeling in the square in front of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, it's just a little effort, don't worry about it."

Xia Yu hurriedly picked up Yan Shoucheng.

"Well, now listen to me. Get the phoenix tree out first! ”

"This ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the ancestors have rules, and the phoenix tree must not be uprooted, otherwise something ominous will befall us!"

It was Chen Tiezhi, the prime minister of Yelang Kingdom, who spoke, this old man was stinky and hard, and he only recognized death.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. The phoenix tree must not rise, this is the rule of the ancestors! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

In the face of the sincere ministers, Yan Shoucheng hesitated slightly.

"The roots of the phoenix tree rot, if you don't get up in time and cut off the rot at the roots, it will be hopeless in two years."

"How sure is General Xia?"

"Eighty percent."

It's okay to say ten percent, Xia Yu doesn't want to say it too satisfactorily.

Yan Shoucheng showed absolute strength at this time, and his eyes swept over the county officials calmly: "I have made up my mind, the sacred tree is dead, and the phoenix no longer inhabits." That I am truly worthy of my ancestors! The law of the ancestors does not have to be ancient! ”

"Your Majesty......"

Observing Yan Shoucheng's face, Chen Tiezhi finally stopped dissuading.

Several guards dug a pit near the phoenix tree, cutting through the dirt to reveal the criss-crossing roots.
