Chapter 120: The Concubine's Dream Is Shattered
In the treasury, all kinds of gold, silver and jade are dazzling, and the treasures of Pan's Mansion are dazzling, but Deng Shi has never been able to pick out one, and he can't say why, but it doesn't feel appropriate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The king is happy and auspicious, good music, how about dedicating this drum of the soul-attracting divine bird to the king of Chu?" Pan Chong pointed to a drum in front of him and asked Deng Shi.
Deng Shi was amazed when he saw it, and he was immediately attracted by this drum set.
This is a drum more than three feet high, with two phoenixes and two tigers as the base. On each of the two back-facing tigers stood a singing phoenix. The phoenix bird has slender and wonderful legs, pretty and elegant, the phoenix bird opens its mouth, the posture is high, it seems to be blinking its eyes spiritually, as if the neck that is shaking at any time is particularly expressive.
The phoenix's body is in a smooth curve, ready to fly; The tiger seat is bent on all fours, short and shrunken, respectfully tame. The drum is based on black lacquer, and red, yellow, and blue colors depict the markings of the tiger and the beak, eyes, and feathers of the phoenix. The paintings on the tiger and phoenix all have snake patterns.
The Chu people thought that only under the guidance of the phoenix could the human elves be able to fly to the nine heavens and travel around the eight poles. The phoenix has the mysterious function of "attracting souls to ascend to heaven". Therefore, Pan Chongcai called this phoenix bird a soul-attracting bird.
Looking at Deng Shi's fascination expression, Pan Chong said proudly: "This gift is good, I think Yuanyuan is dedicated to the King of Chu, and it will definitely be favored by the King of Chu." β
Who knows, Deng Shi still hasn't spoken, he looks at the drum and falls into deep thought.
After a long time, Deng Shi shook his head and said: "There are many people who have good music and rhythm, like hunting, and do what they like, and I think this treasure is still not enough to impress the king of Chu." β
Pan Chong said: "In Deng Shi's opinion, what should I give? β
Deng Shi told Pan Chong what he meant, and Pan Chong was stunned: "Is this method really feasible?" β
Deng Shi said: "I don't dare to say that this method must be done, but I will only know if I try it." β
"The stakes are high, and the stakes are hard to decide." Pan Chong said: "Let me think again. With that, he got up and went outside.
When Pan Chong returned, Deng Shi saw his expression and knew that he had made up his mind.
The date of the three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the day after the election of the king of Chu, the heavenly prince also seemed to be very beautiful, in the garden of the palace, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the fragrance of flowers hit people.
The king of Chu came to the garden surrounded by a group of colorful beauties. He asked with great interest, "What kind of gifts did you concubines bring me?" β
At the suggestion of the concubines, the palace maids offered the valuable gifts brought by the concubines to the king of Chu in turn. However, only the two concubines stood empty-handed. One is Concubine Yuan, and the other is Fan Ji.
The king of Chu was very strange, and he first asked Fan Ji, "What about the gift you prepared for me?" β
Fan Ji said, "King, tell the truth! I didn't even think about preparing a gift for you. β
The King of Chu was deeply surprised, and asked again: "Don't you want to be my lady of the main palace?" β
Fan Ji nodded and said, "The king said that giving gifts must be the king's favorite at present. What does the king like? Isn't the most needed gift for the king right now a suitable lady? Fan Ji is. β
The king of Chu laughed when he heard this, this woman felt that this woman was not only smart and clever, but also a little well-behaved and naughty, not to mention that Fan Ji's appearance was already good, and she was very happy for a while.
He asked Concubine Yuan again, "Your gift is not the same as what she said, right?" β
Concubine Yuan said shyly: "The most important gift for the king is not only a suitable lady, but also the prince and pleasure, which Concubine Yuan can give." β
King Chu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Concubine Yuan's belly in surprise: "What?" You've ......"
Concubine Yuan lowered her head shyly, revealing her white jade-like neck, King Chu was very excited when he thought of the pleasure of being on the bed with Concubine Yuan, he looked at Fan Ji and then at Concubine Yuan. For a while, it was difficult to choose, but when I thought of the indescribable pleasure and passion given by Concubine Yuan, I decided to make Concubine Yuan the queen.
When the king of Chu took out the seal and was about to hand it over to Concubine Yuan, he heard someone shouting: "Lord Zhong sent an urgent report." β
As soon as the king of Chu heard that Zhong Wuregret had an urgent report, he quickly put away the seal and watched the emergency report first. Concubine Yuan's hand stretched out to receive the seal was already trembling slightly, but in an instant, the hands became solidified.
It turned out that after Zhong Wuregret received the urgent report from the King of Chu, he immediately sent a return, but the stakes were so important that he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he wrote a fake report and handed it over to the comer.
As a result, the fake emergency report was robbed, and Pan Chong didn't write anything special when he saw it, but he just asked the king of Chu to choose carefully, and he wanted to choose clichΓ©s such as good looks and good character, so they relaxed their vigilance.
After the king of Chu came back from reading Zhong Wuregret's urgent report, he stared at Concubine Yuan up and down, only to see Concubine Yuan's heart frightened, and couldn't help but tremble.
"You're afraid of me?" King Chu asked.
"No, no, the concubine is just a little uncomfortable." Concubine Yuan lowered her head and said, she didn't dare to meet King Chu's gaze.
"Since this is the case, it is better for the concubines to go back to the palace first, and talk about the matter after the election in a few days." After speaking, the king of Chu left.
When the palace reported the situation of the selection of concubines to Pan Chong that day, Pan Chong gritted his teeth and scolded Zhong Wuregret, seeing the position of the queen in his hand, he flew like this, and it also brought huge hidden dangers to Pan Chong.
No matter how old the qualifications are, there can be no crime of bullying the king!
Zhong Wuregret had to kill, he didn't get the news of Chen Ming for a long time, and at the same time as sending a must-kill order to Dr. Pan, Pan Chong selected a small team of killers from the clan soldiers, day and night, and rushed to the place where Zhong Wuregret was relieved.
On this day, Zhong Wuregret had just gone out, ready to visit the patriarch of the Jin Mansion and ask him about the problem of food, and as soon as he went out, he saw an old man and a child kneeling at the door, their clothes were tattered and weak.
Seeing Zhong Wuregret, the old man hurriedly kowtowed and said: "My lord, save my two granddaughters, don't you want to buy girls, just buy them, but unfortunately their mother died after birth, and their father just starved to death, as long as the adults can give as many copper coins as they want, as long as they can survive." β
Zhong Wuregret saw that the old man had gray hair, and his eyes had sunk into a big hole, and from the tattered clothes, he could see the craggy ribs. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the old man's granddaughter?" β
"At home, they are already hungry and can't walk, I can't bear to let them follow me around begging for food, I heard that adults want to buy girls, so I came to adults for help." The old man said.
"Okay, I'll go with you and bring them here." Zhong Wuregret gave these two ancestors and grandchildren some dry food, took two guards, and got into the carriage with them and left.
The old man's home was on a hillside not far from the capital, and a lonely thatched hut seemed to be ready to collapse at any moment.
"Here we are." The old man pointed to the thatched hut and said.
Zhong Wuregret left the guards at the door and entered the thatched hut with the grandfather. But as soon as he entered the hut, there was no one in the hut, and the old man suddenly knelt down in front of Zhong Wuregret and said, "My lord, I'm sorry, they forced me to do this." β
At this time, only a "whoosh" arrow sound was heard, and Zhong Wuregret saw that the two guards had fallen in a pool of blood.
Zhong Wuregret pulled out his sword, and the little boy quickly begged, "Don't kill my grandfather." β
Zhong Wuregret pushed him away, knocked the old man unconscious with the hilt of his sword, at the moment of life and death, he was merciful enough to do so, he had to guard against it, in case he was bent on dealing with foreign enemies, this old man would be in trouble if he attacked him.
"Whore, you can't escape, come out and die!" With the shouting, I saw more than a dozen people with swords surrounding the hut, among them, men, women and children, and one of them, a girl in a red dress was particularly eye-catching.
"Who are you?" Zhong Wuregret asked by suppressing his anger.
Among the comers, some people proudly said: "We are the chivalrous heroes here, we are chivalrous in all directions, we specialize in getting rid of traitors, and killing you, the great thief of the Chu State, is our unhesitating morality." β
"Who killed my guard?" Zhong Wuregret asked in the hut.
A young man in leather armor proudly raised his bow and arrows and said, "It's me!" However, before he could finish speaking, an iron arrow was stuck in his neck.
The two guards who followed Zhong Wuregret were the first batch of special training team members trained by Zhong Wuregret, they were loyal and strong in martial arts, but they didn't expect Zhong Wuregret to be negligent, and both of them died under the plot. Their death provoked Zhong Wu's fury, and he was determined to kill the group of people in front of him.
The people who came around were caught off guard, and they were all startled when they saw the deceased, they didn't know why no one could see it clearly, why Zhong Wuregret suddenly killed one of them.
An old chivalrous man shouted: "What kind of hero is it to hurt people in secret, you have the courage to come out and compete." β
"You relied on two poor ancestors and grandchildren to trick me into coming here, are you a good man? You killed my two guards with secret arrows, is it above board? Zhong Wuregret asked, and the old knight was speechless.
"It's okay if you don't come out, we'll burn this hut and see if you can't get out." The Woman in Red said.
"There are two innocent people in this house, and you don't care if they live or die?" Zhong Wuregret said.
The woman in red smiled and said, "In order to kill you, a thief, and protect the safety of the public, so that the sisters will no longer be afraid all day long, and their sacrifice is worth it." β
"Hahahaha!" Zhong Wuregret laughed loudly: "It turns out that this is your chivalrous spirit, in order to achieve the goal, you will do whatever it takes, even if you bury the lives of innocent people, I don't know how much weight human lives have in the eyes of you so-called chivalrous warriors?" Other people's lives are not valuable, but the lives of you chivalrous warriors are precious? Lead, lead, teach. Then he said: "My two guards, in order to help the victims with me, fought with the thieves in life and death, and they did not fall in front of the real sword and the real sword, but I did not expect that because of my thoughts, they died unexpectedly, no matter who you are, blood debts and blood debts, this blood feud must be found by you today to pay the debt."
Words, I said in front, you have to fight with me head-on, yes, I will accompany you. However, if you want to plot against me, as long as I have a breath, I will slaughter every one of your families. What do you think? The gloom in Zhong Wuregret's final tone made these so-called chivalrous people shudder.
Seeing that several people met each other, they immediately replied: "We agree to your conditions, but we are not allowed to escape." β
"I'm worried you'll run away." With that, Zhong Wuregret walked out with a sword. Because he secretly detected by his aura, there was indeed no ambush around.
"Let's go up together! Save one by one, troublesome. Zhong Wuregret said coldly.
"Wait," cried the old knight, "I want to ask you again, did you do the rape and murder of two people in the capital?" β
"Now it makes no sense to say whether I did it or not, because you will all die here, and I say that I did not do it, and who can bring a letter to tell others. Come on. Zhong Wuregret pointed his sword at the woman in red and said, "You like others to sacrifice the most, so I will sacrifice you first." After speaking, Zhong Wuregret had already stepped forward with his sword.
The woman in red is outstanding in martial arts among the knights of Duyi, and she has also developed her arrogance in the sky. As soon as she saw Zhong Wuregret stepping forward, she also screamed: "Adulterous thief, look at the sword!" β
"If you call me a thief, don't blame me for my thief's play." Zhong Wuxian smiled strangely.
The swordsmanship of the woman in red is mainly light and spiritual, but I didn't expect Zhong Wuregret to be lighter and smarter, just one look, and the clothes of the woman in red were slashed by Zhong Wuregret from the shoulder to the wrist, revealing a white and tender jade arm.
"You," the woman in red was ashamed and angry, she was no longer defensive, completely ignoring the misfortune of the severed arm and beheading, and a sword attacked Zhong Wuregret like a storm. (To be continued.) )
