Chapter 63: Outwitting Xiangrui
At this time, it is noon, the weather is not too hot, walking on the long river can still feel a burst of coolness, but the water in the river is so clear, walking down the bank can clearly see the reflection in the river.
Immediately, the two walked briskly on the road on the riverbank, and when they walked in, they saw that it was either someone else or a black monkey and an attendant, and the black monkey was traveling in plain clothes and did not wear armor.
It's just that Hei Hou doesn't look so heroic and powerful at this time, because he even looks like a black dog that can stand.
After a while, they saw the lotus pond, and at this time, the black monkey smiled slightly, "We are here." ”
However, to his surprise, the lotus pond was full of lotus flowers, which made him puzzled, "This natural out-of-phase, could it be that something big is going to happen." ”
Just as the black monkey was here, talking to himself, an old man with gray hair walked out of nowhere in front of him and walked straight towards them.
It's just that the old man's steps are very fast, but he can't see the appearance of the old man, and then the old man walks forward.
So the black monkey smiled slightly, "Hello, uncle." ”
It's just that the old man didn't appreciate it, and looked at the black monkey and the attendant with a hostile expression, and then squinted again, allowing the black wait to see an extremely terrifying gaze.
"Uncle, please tell you one thing, where does the owner of this lotus pond live."
When the old man heard that he was here to explore the lotus pond, he immediately said in a hostile voice: "It's you robbers and bandits again, hum, the old man has a life, and I won't be afraid of you." ”
Because there are many lotus ponds here, this place is also a rich place for the production of the lotus, but how many can there be, I can't see one in a few years, so I found a lot of illegal traders to forcibly buy the lotus in the hands of the people.
The people were willing to take it out, so they used the method of robbery, and after snatching it, they gave some money and sent it away, so that they persecuted the local lotus planters.
Therefore, many people who come here will be mistaken for coming to strengthen the lotus, including the black monkey.
At this time, the black monkey looked at the old man with a surprised face, and said suspiciously: "Uncle, you may have misunderstood, we are not robbers or those illegal traders." ”
So the old man calmed down a little and listened to the black monkey.
"Then what are you doing here, tell me quickly, otherwise I will fight with you."
"Okay, don't worry. We are General Liu Futong's subordinates, and today I have come to ask you for and Di Lian on the orders of Han Lang. ”
"I've heard of Liu Futong, but who is this Han Lin'er has a relationship with me, why do we want to hand over this auspicious rui to you. What's more, I don't want to sell it, you ask me for it, is this a fool's dream! The old man said to the black monkey with a very rushed look.
"Don't worry, uncle, if you don't want to give, I won't force it."
When the old man saw the black monkey saying such fair words, he couldn't help but admire, and said in his heart, "Could it be that this person has come to ask for auspiciousness sincerely, but he still has to inquire about him." ”
Then Han Lin'er asked, "Uncle, can you tell me where the lotus planter lives now." ”
It's just that the old man still looked at the black monkey and the attendant beside him suspiciously, and thought about it for a long time and said: "Okay, I'll take you to find them, as for whether they receive you, it depends on your creation." ”
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Then the old man brought them to the village, and it turned out that the people of this village were all working hard and orderly to manage the lotus pond.
It's just that the lotus flowers bloomed earlier this year, so they were working early.
At this time, walking by the ponds, I only heard that everyone would greet the old man, and then inadvertently inquired that the old man was the head of this village.
When people saw the two unfamiliar faces of the black monkey and the attendant, they couldn't help but drop their faces all at once.
At this time, the black monkey followed behind the old man with his attendants, and did not dare to go out of other places. So the old man came to a dense lotus pond and shouted, "Old Li! ”
I only heard a voice in response from the lotus pond: "Is there something wrong with the village chief?" ”
"Come out quickly, I'm looking for something for you."
Immediately, Lao Li put down the work in his hand and walked to the bank of the lotus pond, and when he saw the old man, he smiled and said, "Village chief, what are you looking for me?" ”
So the old man faced the black monkey and introduced to Lao Li: "This is the black monkey under General Liu Futong Liu in the city, who has come here to ask us for Di Lian. ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lao Li immediately pull down his face, looked at the black monkey with a look of displeasure, and even gritted his teeth a little.
So the black monkey hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't get me wrong, we are not robbers, nor profiteers, we came to ask for auspiciousness on the orders of Han Lang." ”
Then Lao Li said loudly: "Even if I have it, I won't give it to you, besides, what is the relationship between me and Han Lang, why should I give it to him." ”
So the black monkey explained: "Uncle, please listen to me, Han Lang is no one else, it is the son of King Han Ming, and now he is the son of heaven I am waiting for, so I waited for Xiangrui to ask for the use of the enthronement ceremony." ”
"Hmph, who knows if what you said is true or not, even if it is true, why do you think that we will give you this auspicious rui."
At this time, the black monkey suddenly thought of what Han Lang explained before leaving, so he looked at the old man with a smile and said: "Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons." ”
As soon as these words came out, the old man fell into deep thought in an instant, and he couldn't help but see the old man's sadness.
At this time, the black monkey smiled silently in his heart: "This old man understands what I said, I don't know, it's just that Han Lang said that these words are useful, so I read them out by the way." ”
Then Lao Li looked at the black monkey and said: "Only the lotus in the world is the purest and purest thing of all things, even every lotus planter will be moved by this sentence, so I give you this auspicious rui." ”
Hearing this, the black monkey couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him in shock, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart, admiring the wisdom of the old man, praising the old man's self-cleanliness, and even more admiring the old man's selflessness and generosity.
So Lao Li said to the village chief: "I'll go back to get Xiangrui." ”
I saw the laborer walking quickly to the house to get auspicious, at this time the black monkey couldn't help but sigh: "This auspicious place is really good, even this eighty or ninety-year-old man is not old at all, walking with me is undoubted, I am really more and more envious of this place." ”
After a while, Lao Li took Xiangrui and handed it over to the black monkey, "Xiangrui has been sent to people who are destined since ancient times, and Han Lang made us wait for people who are destined to wait, I hope that this auspicious rui can keep us safe in his hands and not suffer from war." ”
"Don't worry, uncle, Han Lang will definitely be a Ming Jun, and he will definitely win a peaceful and prosperous world for us."
"Okay, with your sentence, I'll be satisfied."
So Lao Li turned around with a smile and continued to walk to his lotus pond to start his work.
At this time, the black monkey looked at this harmonious and beautiful small village, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Said to the village chief: "Farewell." ”
Then he returned the same way with his attendants.
Along the way, he has always admired Han Lin'er's words, which sentence made Lao Li willing to come up with auspiciousness.
