Chapter 15 Dong Boss Makeup God
Jia Xu waved his hand, and a team of soldiers walked out of the back hall, each holding a slender gold lacquer gift box in his hand, and placed them in front of the princes' envoys one by one, Yang Song, the envoy of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, was the most greedy, seeing that this gift box was exquisite and gorgeous, his heart was very itchy, and he couldn't help but open the box on the spot, who knew that Yang Song had just opened the box, and he let out an exclamation, "Sword!" ”
In the gift box, there was a sword about three feet long lying quietly, shining brightly, stabbing Yang Song's eyes with pain, everyone's faces changed color, and they were busy opening the gift box, but they were all the same sword, everyone thought in their hearts, they came with heavy gifts, but Dong Zhuo gave himself weapons, what does this mean? One by one, they turned their eyes to Jia Xu to see how he explained.
Jia Xu remained silent, grabbed the sword in Yang Song's box and raised it flat, took a piece of tulle and threw it upward, the tulle gently fell on the sword, and by the way, it was divided into two halves. Jia Xu waved his sword casually again, and with a soft sound, a corner of the hard sandalwood Eight Immortals Table was cut off, like cutting tofu.
It took a long time for everyone to make uneven colored sounds, Yang Song's eyes lit up, and his heart said that this sword was so sharp, it was much more valuable than those gold and silver jewels. Guo Jia, Zhuge Xuan, Tian Feng and others were secretly frightened, they had noticed that Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers were all wearing this kind of sword, and when they visited Dong Zhuo's military academy today, there were many people wearing this sword among the ordinary sergeants, and a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time, and they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over their bodies - could it be that Dong Zhuojun has mass-produced such a divine weapon? If that's the case, who else is his opponent in the world?
Li Ru, who was sitting next to Tian Feng, did not disappoint them, Li Ru enthusiastically grabbed Tian Feng's hand, "Lord Tian, Li Ru heard that the army of the Marquis of Qi Xianghou and Gongsun Taishou of Beiping was at war, and he lacked weapons, so he said, such a sword costs three hundred yuan, how much does it cost." "Tian Feng secretly hated, and said in his heart, of course you Dong Zhuo want us to fight as fiercely as possible, and you want to take us as the wrongdoer, no way!
Although Tian Feng understood Li Ru's sinister intentions, Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Du didn't understand, and immediately shouted: "Lord Li, it's cheaper, our Gongsun Army wants 3,000." "Now Gongsun Zhan's army is retreating in the face of Yuan Shaojun's offensive, and has retreated to the area of Zhuo County, and is lacking a chance to save the situation.
Li Ru shook his head, "Lord Gongsun, this is already a very low price, such a sword, if you bargain again, Lord Gongsun is too unkind." Li Ru glanced at Tian Feng with a wicked smile again, "Lord Gongsun, my father-in-law has ordered that if any prince buys ordnance from our army first, then his enemy will spend double the price if he buys it from our army,"
When Gongsun Du heard about this good thing, he jumped up and shouted: "Okay, it's decided, our army wants five thousand swords, and I will send someone to inform the eldest brother and send the gold." ”
"Our army will also have five thousand." Chen Ji, the envoy of Yuan Shujun, was not willing to be lonely, and glanced at Zhuge Xuan and Mi Zhu viciously.
Mi Zhu stood up slowly and arched his hand towards Li Ru, "Master Li, we want 10,000 in Xuzhou, we want more, please sell it to us first." ”
Chen Ji was furious, jumped up and pointed at Mi Zhu's nose and scolded, "The surname Mi, don't be so arrogant just because your Mi family has money, it's our army that wants it first, and if you want to buy it again, you will have to spend double the money!" ”
Mi Zhu smiled, "Lord Chen, you just said to Lord Li that Yuan Shujun wanted to buy it, but Lord Li hasn't promised you to sell it, this merchant does things, pays attention to money and goods, and you haven't even paid a deposit, how can it be considered that your army bought it first?" ”
Chen Ji was speechless, Mi Zhu smiled and took out a palm-sized jade pendant from his arms, the jade pendant was in the shape of a dragon and phoenix, the left was green and the right was white, the preciousness can be imagined, Mi Zhu presented the jade pendant to Li Ru, "Lord Li, this piece of jade is worth 100 gold, even if it is a fixed money." ”
Li Ru was worried about the jade pendant, and smiled happily: "Very good, Xuzhou Liu Yuanjun ordered 10,000 swords, who else wants?" Li Ru smiled happily, and the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an laughed even more happily. After Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he adopted the policy of supporting industry and commerce, reducing taxes and revitalizing business, recruiting outstanding craftsmen with heavy money, and copying the assembly line production method of later generations, so that the cost of commodity production was greatly reduced, but the production efficiency has made a leap, coupled with the abundance of human resources, the current Yong, and businessmen, have not worried about the production of goods, but worry about the sales of goods.
The other envoys also calculated the number of weapons they wanted to buy, and of course, the number they could order, believing that after they returned with their swords, the orders would still be sent in an endless stream. Kang Peng was lying on the Taishi chair, his eyes opened slightly, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart that he would buy more, buy it back and kill each other, and when I go to attack you in a year or two, no matter how good your weapons are, there will be no soldiers who can use weapons.
At this time, Kang Peng's two fathers-in-law couldn't help it, and after Fu finished making a look at Cai Yong, the two got up and approached Kang Peng together, and Zhao Yun and Lu Bu had already retreated to Kang Peng's side - that is, they drew their swords in their hands, and there was a scene of eating people. It's a pity that Fu Wan and Cai Yong are both old stubborn who are not afraid of death, Cai Yong relied on his daughter's most favored, and reached out to shake Kang Peng, "Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, wake up, wake up." ”
Kang Peng stretched his waist for a long time, as if he had just woken up drunk, and said lazily: "What advice do the two fathers-in-law have?" Please say, son-in-law listens. ”
Cai Yong was cheeky, "Virtuous son-in-law, you promised the old man and others to bring the original Shenmi Shenguo to meet each other, and now everyone is full of wine and food, please take a look." Cai Yong's words just happened to ask everyone's hearts, and they gave up arguing one by one and turned their eyes to this side.
When Cai Yong first arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday, he had already asked his daughter to watch the Shenmi Shenguo, but unfortunately his daughter told him that the place where the Shenmi Shenguo seeds were collected must have his old son-in-law and Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Gao Shun's handwritten letters to enter, and others dared to break in, no matter who was touched, they would be killed! Cai Yong didn't want to embarrass his daughter, so he had to give up.
Kang Peng shook his spirit, as if he had been awakened, "Shenmi? Divine Fruit? Is it the god rice god fruit that yields thousands of catties per mu? ”
Cai Yong was so angry and angry that he almost didn't pick up his son-in-law, who was more than ten years older than him, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, it is the divine rice and divine fruit that God gave you!" You said you were going to show us the original! ”
Kang Peng seemed to wake up from a dream, stood up very nervously, leaned over and said, "My father-in-law is above, and my son-in-law will say hello to my father-in-law." ”
Cai Yong almost didn't die in a hurry, his hands clenched into fists, "Virtuous son-in-law, don't pretend to be garlic, quickly bring me the seed of the Divine Rice Divine Fruit." ”
"Alas!" Kang Peng let out a long sigh, turned his head to look at Cai Yong and said, "Father-in-law, do you want to be just the seed of the Divine Rice Divine Fruit?" Or do you want to bring the seeds of the Divine Rice Divine Fruit back to Luoyang? ”
Cai Yong and Fu Wan suddenly trembled all over, and their words trembled, "Xian, virtuous son-in-law, are you willing to dedicate the divine seed to the imperial court?" ”
"Ugh......." Kang Peng let out a long sigh again, shaking his head for a long time, "The two fathers-in-law don't know, that divine rice divine fruit is a gift from God, and it is related to the luck of the world, how can it be easily given away?" But ......"
"But what?" Cai Yong and Fu Wan asked in unison. The other princes' envoys also gasped and looked at Kang Peng with blank eyes.
Kang Peng sighed for a long time, satisfying everyone's appetite, before he got up and walked to Zaoyi's side and patted Zaoyi's shoulder, "Mr. Zao, you saw it with your own eyes that day, the Shenmi Divine Fruit is an auspicious gift from God to the true appearance, right?" ”
Zao Yi nodded, "Yes, Zao Yi saw with his own eyes that day, the Divine Rice Divine Fruit was loaded on the divine car and landed from the sky." Zao Yi added: "Taishi also said at the time that on the first night when the divine rice divine fruit fell from the sky, the Taishi dreamed of Ziwei Xingjun, and Ziwei Xingjun told Taishi that Taishi was the star in the sky who came down to save the people of the world, and the divine rice and divine fruit were treasures given to Taishi by God. ”
People in this era are very superstitious, although what Zao Yu said is unbelievable, no one raised doubts, just exchanged ears, whispered, and discussed in private. Lu Bu was even more triumphant, patting his chest, "My father-in-law is the destiny of heaven, the son of heaven, I am his son." ”
"But ......" Kang Peng suddenly said again, which made Lu Bu also startled, Kang Peng lowered his head and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Last night, I dreamed of Ziwei Xingjun again, Ziwei Xingjun said to Benxiang, the heavenly auspicious Ruiguang is given to Benxiang, I am afraid that the Prime Minister is blessed and shallow, and I am afraid that the world will not accept it, so I ......"
"Virtuous son-in-law." Cai Yong and Fu Wan asked worriedly, "So what?" ”
Kang Peng was silent, and arched his hand: "Everyone, please come with your own face." Then he strode out of the hall, and although everyone was inexplicable, they still followed Kang Peng to the altar in the courtyard.
The sky is already dark, the altar is brightly lit, among the lights, one hundred and twenty Taoist children do not move, only the night wind blows the flag on the altar, so that the flag horn flutters, a good quiet atmosphere.
Kang Peng pointed to the forum, "Gentlemen, Ziwei Xingjun dreamed of his true appearance last night, and told him that Xiangrui needs to be divided into five more people, and who can make Xiangrui benefit the people compared with Ben, so as to determine who is the destiny of heaven." ”
"The five?" The voices of the messengers trembled.
Kang Peng shook his head, "I don't know the true phase, Ziwei Xingjun just taught the method of the original phase Qimen Dunjia, let the original phase build this altar, and the law on the altar can know that Xiangrui should be divided into those five people." After speaking, Kang Peng knelt down respectfully to the altar, as if he was very pious.
Jia Xu, Li Ru, Lu Su and Sima Lang followed and knelt down, Lu Bu was still hesitating, at this time Zhao Yun pulled him, Lu Bu had to kneel with Zhao Yun, and the others saw this, and knelt down in disbelief, Guo Jia and Zhuge Xuan hesitated for a while, but still knelt down with everyone.
"The gentlemen are here to testify, and the prime minister will go to the altar to prove who the auspicious rui should be assigned to." Kang Peng said in a low voice, got up and changed his clothes.
Not long after, Kang Peng wore a robe, barefoot and hair, slowly climbed the high altar, gongs, drums and trumpets sounded in unison, silk and bamboo were endless, the fire was suddenly bright and dark, the smoke rose, Kang Peng looked at the direction of a certain place, and then burned incense in the furnace, poured water into the urn, took the peach wood sword, and danced on the altar.
Woo-" "Hum-" "Chok-" "Bang-" All kinds of sounds are endless, thick smoke and white fog cover the altar, the wind is cloudy, and the cold dance is long. It's a mysterious scene, but it's a pity that the form of the person on the altar who steps on the gossip step and dances the sword is really not flattering, and that appearance is not something that can be described by pen and ink - you can imagine a meat ball man who is less than six feet tall but has a waist circumference of seven feet, with disheveled hair, barefoot and bare feet, wearing a robe that is about to burst, and holding a poor peachwood sword in his hand to dance a modern dance - yes! That's it! Don't throw up!
Jia Xu, Li Ru, Lu Su and Sima Lang and other people who knew the inside story couldn't help laughing, and it was difficult to keep themselves from laughing, but the lighting effect designed by Kang Peng was so good that the firelight set him off like a god, so that others had to be respectful, almost thinking that he was a god descending to earth.
At this time, Kang Peng suddenly took out a piece of yellow mounted paper, shook it a few times on the lamp and candle, picked up the wine offered on the altar, and spewed it out with a mouthful, and the yellow mounted paper suddenly appeared with words, and Kang Peng shouted, "Okay, the person who was assigned to the auspicious person by the mandate of heaven came out." ”
