Chapter 264: The King's Worries

"Poof!" Ah Hao couldn't help laughing, and the louder he laughed, even leaning forward and backwards.

Qu Ping looked at his outfit, and really couldn't help but laugh. With this dress, if you want to say that you are begging, it is estimated that a lot of people will believe it.

Zhuang Wei saw that Ah Hao dared to make fun of the prince, and stood up and shouted: "Be bold, don't laugh!" ”

Qu Ping hurriedly pulled Zhuang Wei, who was about to beat someone, and said, "Let him laugh enough first." ”

Li Junxin said: "You'll be surprised later!" ”

After a while, Ah Hao finally held down his belly and held back his laughter.

Qu Ping took out the Xiangwang Order from his arms, which was close to him at all times, and lit it up in front of Ah Hao's eyes, and said, "If you laugh enough, just recognize these words." ”

Ah Hao looked at the sign that was suddenly sent to his eyes, and read word by word in a daze: "King Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty...... Is this true? The latter sentence was called out in surprise.

Hao still couldn't believe his eyes. If this is true, I am really out of shit luck. As long as you successfully help King Xiang meet the King of Siam, let alone ask the King of Siam for an official position, you will be happy enough for the rest of your life.

Ah Hao made up his mind in an instant, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "The grass people meet King Xiang, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

Li Jun and Zhuang Wei glanced at Ah Hao with disdain, look at your virtue.

Qu Ping didn't want to talk to him too much, so he wasted time, so he said indifferently: "No need to be polite, you hurry up and help me pass the word to them, saying that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, King Xiang, is coming." ”

Ah Hao got up and said "yes", walked a few steps towards the doorman, turned around and asked uncertainly: "Lord, can they believe our appearance?" ”

"Just tell him, if you don't invite me in, you will bear the consequences!" Qu Ping said. He had to take out some of the prince's shelves and firmly suppress this Ah Hao first. He is hard, and when Ah Hao communicates with the Siamese people again, he can be full of confidence.

According to Qu Ping's meaning, Ah Hao talked to the doorman with a fake tiger, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

I saw that the guard's face changed from impatience to anger, to fright and disbelief, and finally, he glanced at the four of Qu Ping's side, and turned to the palace.

Qu Ping put his mind at ease, and it seemed that it was done.

Ah Hao proudly walked back and said, "Lord, fortunately, I am not dishonored, wait for the King of Siam to come out to greet you in person!" ”

"Brother Ahao is out of the horse, and it really comes naturally!"

Qu Ping praised Ah Hao, but he definitely didn't believe that he would fool the King of Siam out to greet him personally. With a group of four by himself, the King of Siam was able to take the risk of taking time to see himself in the midst of all the opportunities, which was already a big face for the Great Song Dynasty.

After a long while, the doorman who had just gone to report came back, greeted Ah Hao with a blank face, and said to let everyone in.

Qu Ping and the five of them entered the door, surrounded by more than a dozen armed guards, and walked towards the interior of the palace. It seems that the other party still doesn't believe in himself, otherwise how dare he treat himself with such etiquette.

The King of Siam was waiting for the legendary King Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty in his palace, and when he saw Qu Ping's gray-faced appearance and entered the palace, he even wondered if they were the four masters and apprentices who had learned scriptures from the West and got lost, plus the translator Little White Horse.

However, the King of Siam has definitely never heard of Journey to the West.

The King of Siam was wide and fat, and his face was vain, and at first glance he put a lot of effort into the color of the wine. It seems that his Buddhist ascetic practice is different, and it is a physical penance.

Qu Ping saluted the King of Siam without any rudeness, and Ah Hao calmly conveyed to the King of Siam: "His Royal Highness King Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty, on behalf of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, I would like to express my greetings to you, and I hope that the two sides will be friendly and good-neighborly, and trust each other!" ”

Qu Ping took out his royal seal and asked him to present it to the King of Siam.

The King of Siam took the seal of the king, looked at it carefully, still in disbelief, and asked, "I heard that King Xiang led eight huge ships, why are the four of you in the dust?" ”

Qu Ping knew that it was best to treat the truth at this moment, and said truthfully: "I can't hide it, in order to help Siam and the Three Buddhas drive out the long-hidden Chola people, and chase and kill the Chola people to the deep sea, he happened to encounter a storm. Fortunately, God had mercy and let me live. Otherwise, I am afraid that the pace of progress of the two countries will be delayed for a long time! ”

When Ah Hao translated, he added a lot of modifiers without authorization, turning Qu Ping's short sentences into a thrilling one, which made the King of Siam shocked, frightened, worried, and relieved for a while, like riding a roller coaster. That storm caused huge damage to Siam!

The King of Siam personally came over, returned Wang Yin's hands to Qu Ping, held Qu Ping's hands, and said excitedly: "King Xiang, you must be a god in heaven, otherwise how can you escape the punishment of heaven!" On behalf of Siam and myself, I would like to express my sincerest respect to the gods of Heaven and welcome you! ”

Qu Ping watched the King of Siam walk frivolously, combined with his figure and complexion, and wondered if the King of Siam's body was about to be hollowed out.

Qu Ping took back the king's seal into his arms and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the King of Siam." ”

The King of Siam asked everyone to take their seats, and Ah Hao sat in the middle and continued to play the role of interpreter.

Qu Pingxian said: "Although this king has experienced a great calamity, he thinks that there is still Siam who has not visited, and his heart is hesitant. After escaping from danger, I rushed to you day and night, but fortunately, you did not refuse me thousands of miles away. ”

The King of Siam was moved and said, "How so? If this king knows that the prince is coming, he will definitely go out of the city to meet you in person. ”

The two exchanged politeness, and Qu Ping went straight to the point: "This king came this time, in addition to discussing economic, cultural and political exchanges between the two countries, there is also one thing to ask for. Can the king lend me a means of transportation, so that I can return to the Great Song Dynasty more comfortably and quickly? ”

"The only thing in Siam is elephants. Elephants can be tamed very little in Siam, and we don't often ride them unless they are in major battles or sacrificial trips. I don't have the final say on the use of elephant riding, I have to make a decision with the ministers. "The King of Siam is embarrassed.

The dignified King of Siam, who doesn't even have the right to use an elephant, is too pitiful, which is a kind of pity for the strength of the country.

"Well, if you're embarrassed, forget it." Qu Ping took retreat as the way forward. dog

How could the King of Siam let Qu Ping return disappointed, and said, "It's not too difficult. If the prince can help me find someone, I will give you two elephants, and the ministers have no opinion. ”

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Qu Ping said strangely, he is not familiar with life here, who can he help him find?

The King of Siam said with a little embarrassment: "To be honest, this king's body is getting worse and worse...... However, Siam cannot be left without a successor! ”

Qu Ping asked curiously: "The king doesn't have a son and a daughter?" ”

"I have one, but she is not a king. If no one inherits the throne, it will definitely be wiped out by the surrounding countries! The King of Siam said bitterly.

"I wonder if the princess is married?"

"It's because the princess wants to marry someone who has to be able to assist her in ruling Siam in the future, so she hasn't been able to find a satisfactory Langjun!"

Qu Pingxin said, is it so difficult to marry someone? Qu Ping asked, "Dare to ask the king what he wants?" ”

The King of Siam looked at Qu Ping, and Qu Ping hurriedly explained: "This king already has a family, and it is impossible to stay in Siam!" ”

"The princess's future colt must meet four conditions. Wisdom, bravery, literature, and martial arts must be convincing in everything! The King of Siam gestured with four fingers.

Qu Ping was a little amused in his heart, and said: "Nuo is a big Siam, can't you find such a person?" ”

"It's true that no one can meet all four conditions at the same time." The King of Siam lamented.

"Are you asking too much?"

"If it is not high, how can it be convincing? How to rule Siam? ”

Qu Ping was curious: "Can you tell me what kind of problem is it that can stump the good men in Siam?" ”

The King of Siam said, "There is no need." The first question, wisdom. There is one of the oldest elephants in the palace, and I want to know its weight before it dies, so that I can know how many wrestlers I need to prepare to carry it when it dies......"

"Is it hard?" Qu Ping couldn't help but interrupt, isn't this the story of Cao Chong's elephant that Chinese children are familiar with? Siamese friends are also too outdated, haven't you read the "Three Kingdoms" written in the Western Jin Dynasty?

Hey, we can only blame our Chinese civilization for not being far away in this remote and wild place.

"Anyway, no one has succeeded yet." The King of Siam continued, "This second question, Yong. Because the Siam River is criss-crossed, and the east and west are close to the sea, this water must be able to be one in a million. ”

Qu Ping looked at Li Jun, this question is quite suitable for Li Jun.

Seeing Qu Ping looking at himself, Li Jun raised his head proudly, and said in his heart, his water nature must have crushed the Siamese people for a few streets. He thought that Qu Ping was just affirming his water nature, but he didn't know that Qu Ping had other little Jiujiu in his heart.

The King of Siam went on to say: "This literature and martial arts are naturally the study of culture and martial arts. ”

Qu Ping asked: "Is there any restriction on the king's selection of horses, his nationality, age, etc.?" ”

The King of Siam said: "The princess is twenty-five this year, as long as the candidate is in good health and young between twenty and forty, it is fine!" ”

"Congratulations to the king, this king is fortunate to have found the most suitable person for you!" Qu Ping stood up and said excitedly.

The King of Siam also got up and said happily, "Oh? Where is it? ”

"Far away, close at hand." Qu Ping pointed at Li Jun and said, "Look, it's this Pianpian Li Jun and Li Gongzi!" ”

Li Jun said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, I have ......"

Qu Ping knew that Li Jun was going to say that I was forty-six, so he quickly raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

The King of Siam looked at Li Jun, who seemed to be quite strong and strong, with a mature and steady heroism, and said, "His age is ...... What's the matter, it's thirty-five, right? ”

After listening to the guess of the King of Siam, everyone was stunned.

Qu Ping hurriedly followed up the ladder and said, "The king has good eyesight, Li Jun is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years today, and in two years, he will have no chance with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The King of Siam nodded and said, "Thirty-eight? Where are my wife and children now? ”

Qu Ping motioned to Li Jun with his eyes, it's all delivered to the bride's door, it's time to take the initiative.

Li Jun secretly regretted in his heart that the prince betrayed himself for the sake of two elephants. No, even if you agree now, when you get the elephant riding, you will go away to the Great Song Dynasty, and you must not come back here.

Li Jun said with a shy old face: "Men are ambitious in all directions, and they have no wives and children yet. ”

The King of Siam was overjoyed after hearing this, this is the person next to King Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty, if he can be the princess's concubine, Siam will not be the latter than other countries, Siam and the Great Song Dynasty are in-laws!

But immediately the King of Siam calmed down again, and he didn't know if Li Jun could pass the test, so don't rejoice. The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The King of Siam said: "If Li Jun Gongzi is willing to give it a try and succeed in passing the test, it will be my Siamese concubine!" ”
