The spring and summer rains came as soon as they were said, and the sky was clear a few days ago, but today it began to pour down, accompanied by lightning and fire, wanton and raging. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this rain, for Mitong, is a happy rain, and it came at the right time. The Matsurito Roof and the surrounding houses are being tested in their new form.

The crowd held their breath as they watched as the thunder rolled in the day, gathering into a bolt of lightning that shot straight towards the beam at the top of the altar. However, as if enchanted, the lightning was sucked away by the 'dragon's whiskers' on the top of the altar, and then disappeared and disappeared without a trace.

The altar was not damaged in the slightest.

"Whew!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all sighed: "It's strange, it's strange, the decorations such as dragon whiskers, phoenix feathers, and fish tails seem to have some magic power, why are the heavenly thunders sucked away by them every time!" ”

"Yes, yes! This sacrificial roof is indeed cleverly built, but I don't know what the reason is? ”

"Well, it seems that I still underestimate this son. But he didn't expect that this altar was really built by him. ”

"Anyway, this is a great achievement of the Chu State, you see Jun Ao laughing, you can't close your mouth."

"It seems that Gongzitong's previous madness was pretended, otherwise how could it suddenly get better!"

……

Mi Tong listened, smiled faintly, noncommittal, and only turned a deaf ear to the whispered comments of the ministers. Ever since he knew that Bian He was still a child, he was a little frustrated, and all his thoughts were put on this golden sword.

For the golden sword, he is determined to obtain, so the success or failure of the test of this sacrificial rooftop is also very important. For this reason, he observed Chu Xiaoao's actions all the time.

At this time, Chu Xiaoao, looking at the lightning on the top of the sacrificial roof, was also smiling from ear to ear, his right hand stroked his gray beard slightly, but he was thinking in his heart: "God still favors me Chu people to some extent!" I think that my ancestors were forced to migrate from the Central Plains to this wild land and build a country with difficulty; For generations, they have been worshipping their ancestors and appealing to the heavens, and they have finally gained a foothold in this chaotic world. Now that this sacrificial roof is built, the Chu people will be greatly encouraged, which is a new attack horn and a new spiritual symbol of the Chu people.

"I think my Chu people are diligent and hard-working, and they will not forgive; After the ancestor was the god of fire Zhurong, the origin culture came from the Central Plains, but the Central Plains repeatedly did not recognize our Chu State. At the time of King Wu's war, our Chu State gave everything and helped each other, and the ancestor Mane Bear died of blood. But the Zhou family always treats me unfairly, and when he is rewarded, he forgets the Chu country; When my Chu State later grew, in order to appease my Chu people, he only gave a son and a baron......

"If it weren't for the martial arts and prosperity of my Chu people, I am afraid that they would have been destroyed by the surrounding countries long ago. And now, after the hard work and pioneering spirit of my ancestors in the past generations, my Chu country is also a medium-sized country. However, the countries of the Central Plains still look down on my Chu people, and even the decline of the Zhou family now, they still don't give me the opportunity to promote the Chu State to the title! Hmph, one day, I will make you regret that you have underestimated my Chu people......"

……

After a long time, the thunder and lightning outside subsided slightly, but the rain was still the same, and the ministers did not have the "appreciation" of the thunder and lightning, so they naturally returned to their seats.

Chu Xiaoao was also in good spirits, he was already an old man in his sixties, but he looked energetic at this time, and after returning to his seat, he waved his hand lightly, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that this altar has been completed, and the thunder and lightning are helpless, it seems that my Chu people will be able to win this battle!" A small and powerful country, why don't you bow down and claim to be a vassal? ”

"Jun Ao Shengming!" All the ministers knelt on the ground and bowed their heads. Only Mi Tong was a little panicked, and said in his heart: This ...... The construction of the sacrificial roof was originally to crusade against the power of the country! But can't you wait until you crusade against the powers? Can't you give my reward first......

Maybe Chu Xiaoao saw that Mi Tong was a little unhappy, and he also guessed a thing or two, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, please get up, uh...... The first merit of building the sacrificial rooftop should be Gongzitong. The widow had made a promise before, and he would fulfill it, and when the widow returned to Danyang, he would arrange the official register, demarcate the fief, and reward him with the golden sword......"

When Mi Tong heard that he would have to wait to return to the capital Danyang to be rewarded, he was extremely disappointed in his heart, but this matter was not urgent, as long as nothing changed, he thanked him: "Thank you father!" ”

Chu Xiaoao smiled slightly, and said: "However, the construction of such a large platform is probably not the power of Tong'er alone, and the doctors of Jingshan are also indispensable...... Belch? Why is there only one person here...... What about the others? ”

Chu Xiaoao looked around, but he didn't see any other doctors in Jingshanyi, not even his uncle and brother Shou, and he didn't feel that his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed to look at Mi Tong when he asked.

"Oh, the doctors have worked day and night, and they have indeed contributed a lot to the construction of the altar for me, and they have time to rest at this moment. If Father Ao has any reward, he only needs to let Gong Yi be a representative, here the Gong Loss Doctor has contributed the most, and the design and construction of this sacrificial roof platform have been completed by him......" Qi Tong just smiled faintly.

Looking at the Gong Yiqian behind Mi Tong, he was already trembling with fright, and he didn't know what to do, so he just looked down at the floor. The other ministers were also puzzled, and they all said in their hearts: That bull-nosed beard guard is the most dependent on the old and sells the old, how can he listen to the orders of a hairy boy so obediently?

Chu Xiaoao was also a little suspicious, and only said, "Go ahead, they invite you." ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, it didn't matter, so he had to turn to his subordinates outside the house and say, "Go and invite all the uncles!" ”

"No!"

The pro-soldier promised.

After only a cup of tea, I saw that the soldiers brought the doctors of Jingshan such as Shou and Chengfeng......

When everyone arrived, they immediately knelt on the ground and mourned in unison: "Jun Ao, you have to be the master for us......"

"Whew!"

There was a moment of surprise on the field, and the ministers couldn't figure out the reason.

Only Mi Tong was still fearless, only pretending to be crazy and stupid: "Uh! Uncles, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become thinner, are you tired of bothering to build a sacrificial platform for my Dachu? ”

He glanced at Mi Tong, and only kowtowed to Chu Xiaoao and said: "Jun Ao, this son is really cruel and unkind to build a sacrificial rooftop, and he is embarrassed to be a traitor to the public, and he actually uses us as slavery, mining and smelting iron, you don't know how we have come these days......

"Yes, yes! Gongzitong abused his punishment and beat me to forty boards without any evidence. Moreover, he actually smelted the treasure of the Chu State, the Golden Ancestor, and used it as a material for the sacrificial roof! Ji Yin Chengfeng echoed.

……

"Poof!" When they heard that the treasure of Chu State, Jin Zu, had been smelted by Mitong, the ministers were all exclaimed, all of them looked at me, I looked at you, full of confusion.

"Humph!" Chu Xiaoao was also very angry when he heard this, and slapped his hand on the table and said, "Rebel, rebel, you still don't kneel!" ”

Mi Tong still smiled faintly, knelt down and said: "How can Father Ao only listen to one side, the son is here, just to build the sacrificial roof, and there is no reason for other things." Moreover, the sons and uncles have never had a holiday before, so how can they be punished easily. It's just that Erchen has always had a madness, although it has improved, but he often has attacks when he is very angry, and he can't remember what he did after the attack. ”

"Ugh!" Chu Xiaoao was short of words for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he only said, "That...... Then why did you smelt the Golden Ancestor, don't you know that the treasure of the Chu State was at that time? ”

"I don't know!" Mi Tong replied directly: "Erchen has never come into contact with Jin Zu before, let alone know that it is the treasure of the Chu State. In the past, the treasures of the Chu State were all collected in the court of the Chu State, why this Jin Zu was outside the smelting pool, which made people confused. It happened that the sacrifice roof was short of gold, so the son refined it, and Father Ao, please see, the phoenix feathers and dragon whiskers on the top of the sacrificial roof were refined by the golden ancestor. Wouldn't it be better to place the golden ancestor on the top of the sacrificial platform to be worshipped than to put it in the yin tide of the smelting pool? ”

"Ugh! This ......" Chu Xiaoao was speechless for a while.

The ministers are also wondering, this son was demented before, even if he is better now, how can he become so sharp-toothed? His eloquence has surpassed that of the doctor......

But he listened to the channel: "Moreover, the doctors did not dissuade their sons before refining the Golden Ancestor, but they sued at this time, what is the reason?" ”

"You...... You, you ......," Shou Shou pointed at Mi Tong, but he was speechless for a while.

"That's it!" Chu Xiaoao slapped his hand on the table again, and said angrily: "Shut up all the widows!" ”

After a slight pause, Chu Xiao Ao thought about it and said slowly: "Gongzi Tong has meritorious service in building the sacrificial rooftop, and he has destroyed Jin Zu, and the merits and demerits are offset by each other, and there will be no reward or punishment!" The other doctors, wait until the widow returns to the capital Danyang, and then make an assessment and reward for meritorious deeds. ”

"Father! The son is not convinced! When Mi Tong heard Chu Xiaoao say that there was no reward, didn't that mean that the golden sword would also be lost, and he immediately knelt down and said again.

"Jun Ao, the ministers are not convinced! Tong Gongzi destroyed Jin Zu, I am afraid that he will offend the ancestors, which is not good for the battle of the right country! Shou, Cheng Feng and others also knelt down and said.

Chu Xiaoao looked at both sides, and immediately became embarrassed, not knowing what to do; But I heard a vigorous and powerful voice sound: "Then reward according to the reward, punish according to the punishment; Wait until the end of the battle with the power country, and then make a decision! ”

Mi Tong turned his head suddenly, only to see that the speaker was the old lady of Chu State-Banhe!
