Chapter 14: The Sword Comes Out

Ten miles away from the north gate of Changning City, there is a big river called Ningjiang, the river is wide, turning over the fine waves, a temporary palace is erected on the bank, although it is a temporary house, it is also glazed as tiles, and the gold bricks are paved. In this temporary palace, King Chen Liuwang wanted to invite Emperor Chen Tai to taste www.biquge.info the most delicious three fresh carp in the world.

Emperor Chen Tai was wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown, holding his head high, majestic, sitting in the middle of the hall, Chen Liuwang was like a primary school student in front of him, respectful, nodding and bowing.

"Emperor, please come over today, I don't know what kind of delicacy I can taste?" Emperor Chen Tai stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

"The minister knows that the emperor loves to eat fish. There is a chef in the minister, cook a good dish, especially good at roasting carp, its fired three fresh carp, the ingredients are fine, the taste is delicious, the world is difficult to have two! The minister didn't dare to enjoy it exclusively, so he invited the emperor to come up and taste it! Chen Liuwang got up and knelt down from his seat and replied.

"It's rare for you to have such filial piety! I don't know which three fresh carp are these three fresh? Emperor Chen Taidi touched his chin and asked with a smile.

Chen Liuwang straightened up, stretched out a finger, and replied with a smile: "The first fresh is fresh fish, when the fish is just caught from the river, it is immediately disemboweled, fired on the spot, and the boat is opened while burning, and the boat is on the shore, and the fish is just cooked, so the fish is fresh!" ”

"Sail while burning? Sounds fresh! Emperor Chen Taidi said with a smile.

Chen Liuwang stretched out two fingers and continued: "The second fresh is the soup fresh, the sailor dives into the bottom of the river to take the water of the heart of the river, and uses the water of the heart of the river to cook the fish, so the soup is fresh!" ”

Emperor Chen Tai was a little puzzled, although he was the supreme emperor, he was inevitably driven by curiosity, so he asked puzzledly: "Is there any difference between the water in the heart of the river and the water on the surface of the river?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I was puzzled before, so I asked the chef about the difference." Chen Liuwang knew that the emperor would have such a question, and he had prepared the answer in advance, so he was not in a hurry, and slowly explained, "The cook explained that the water on the river is the water of the passing; And the water in the heart of the river is the stagnant water in the loop. The river is illuminated by the sun and the moon, and the essence of the sun and the moon are accumulated in the center of the river. Drinking the water of Jiangxin all year round can prolong life and rejuvenate oneself. ”

"Is there such a wonderful thing about the water in the heart of the river? It's the first time I've heard of it. When the emperor heard this, his eyes widened, as if he was in disbelief.

"Yes, Your Majesty. That's what the chef said. King Chen Liuwang arched his hand upwards and said, "The minister has asked the sailors to salvage five cylinders of water in the heart of the river and give it to the emperor." I hope that the emperor will be healthy and have a long life. ”

The emperor was overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "It's rare that you have such filial piety!" I laughed at it! When he looked down and saw that King Chen Liuwang was still kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand to him and said, "Hurry up." Emperor, I didn't expect you to study food so thoroughly. A little more proficient than my imperial kitchen! ”

"Emperor Xie praises!" Chen Liuwang kowtowed upward, got up and sat down, and said to himself: "The minister is not doing his job, and he is a bit of a plaything." ”

"What a bad job! Now that I am in the country, the country and the people are rich, and the four realms are peaceful, what I need is this spirit of not doing business. If every child of the royal family can do business to a level as profound as yours, it will be my great Chen Guo's luck! The emperor praised it, and then changed his words, "It's not okay to lose your mind with playthings, after all, the future prince of my Great Chen Kingdom still has to rely on the strong support of you royal children." ”

"Emperor Xie understands!" King Chen Liuwang arched his hand upwards and said, "The emperor is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and this great Chen country is the emperor's world!" The emperor is wise in heaven, and Chen Gang is sacred. Where do you need to worry about the ministers? ”

"Long live the thousand autumns? It's just good wishes! Although I am confused, how can I not understand this? If every emperor can live for a thousand years, how can it be my turn to be the emperor? The emperor's eyes slowly swept around the hall, sighed, and then looked at King Chen Liu: "Don't talk about this, you only said two fresh." What else? ”

Chen Liuwang's other two fingers had already been retracted, and at this time, he stretched out three fingers together and said: "The third freshness is the flavor of freshness, the chef uses its secret condiments to add to the soup, and the fish it burns out is full of color, aroma, and smells a mile away!" ”

When Emperor Chen Tai heard this, he smacked his mouth, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, I am already salivating!" Then please serve! "

King Chen Liuwang agreed, and ordered his subordinates to start serving. First serve cold dishes, then serve hot dishes, each dish is put in front of the emperor on a large plate, in front of the prince put a small bowl, the dish for the emperor, each plate must be strictly inspected by the eunuch.

King Chen Liuwang picked up the wine glass, knelt down to the emperor and wished: "I wish the emperor good health and longevity!" "After that, drink it all.

The emperor waved his chopsticks to King Chen Liu, motioned for him to return to his seat, and then put a spoonful of vegetables in his mouth with chopsticks to taste, and praised while eating: "Yes, it tastes really good!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment! These dishes are just the most basic flavors, and the best taste is still fish! Chen Liuwang said with a smile.

When the emperor heard this, he stopped his chopsticks and looked at King Chen Liu, saying, "The basic taste is so delicious!" Wouldn't it be even more delicious! I'm looking forward to this three-fresh carp! ”

Chen Liuwang knew that the time had come for him to leave the scene, and he deliberately snorted. The emperor hurriedly asked him what was wrong. Chen Liuwang pretended to frown, covered his stomach with his hands, and replied: "The minister was occasionally infected with a cold last night, and his body was slightly unwell, and he drank too much wine today, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable. ”

The emperor said that the imperial doctor is by his side, let the imperial doctor take a look. Chen Liuwang thanked and said: "Thank you for your concern!" It's not very serious, it may be a little urgent, just go to the thatched house to have a stomach. ”

The emperor ordered him, you go and come back quickly! After thanking the emperor, King Chen Liu left the table and went to the thatched house, and then sneaked away through the pre-dug underground passage.

At this time, it was time for Ling He to come on the field. In order to paralyze the emperor and the guards and eunuchs around the emperor, King Chen Liuwang stipulated that different dishes should be served by different servants, and each servant served a plate of dishes, which must not be repeated, and all the servants were uniformly dressed, so that they would not pay special attention to which one.

The fish was fired on a big boat in the middle of the river, the fish was burning, the boat was moving, and when the fish was in the pot, the boat was also docked. The fish soup snorted, the aroma overflowed, gradually dispersed, fluttered with the wind, and filled the entire riverbank, and Ling He came to see that everyone was smashing their mouths and swallowing saliva.

Less than ten meters from the shore to the palace, there were countless Imperial Forest soldiers armed with guns and halberds standing along the shore. Ling Helai dressed up as a servant of vegetables, holding this special plate, the three fresh carp with all the color and fragrance on the plate were steaming with fragrant heat, so greedy that Ling Helai almost drooled.

This chef's cooking level is indeed first-class, and Ling Helai has also eaten the fish he cooked in the past two days, which is delicious and has an endless aftertaste. But today this carp is a deadly fish! Fish is a good thing, and it is not the fault of the fish that it is fatal to eat it, but to blame people for being greedy.

While the fish was still boiling in the pot, the eunuch tested the poison in the pot with a silver needle, put it on a plate, and tested it again. Ling He came to the hall from the boat with a plate, a eunuch followed him like a fart, and when he arrived at the door of the hall, another eunuch blocked Ling He's way to come, only to see that he held a silver needle in his hand, soaked it in the fish soup and stirred it a few times, and inserted it in the head and body of the fish and the tail of the fish a few times, and then removed the silver needle, opened his throat and shouted, "Three fresh carp have arrived!" "It's a release.

According to this method, it is impossible to hide a dagger in the belly of the fish, and it was too lucky to specialize in stabbing King Wu back then.

When the eunuch inspected the fish, Ling Helai glanced at the audience with the corner of his eye: on the throne in the innermost part of the hall sat a middle-aged man in his forties, this person had long eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, a square face, three locks of short beard on his chin, wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown, not angry and arrogant, this is Chen Tai Diguang, a big case in front of him, bowls and plates, full of various dishes. Behind Chen Guang stood a eunuch, two palace maids, and four guards with swords, and at least twenty guards stood on each side of the east and west, and from the door to the outside, they were all covered with the Imperial Forest Army.

A slightly smaller desk to the east was also full of dishes and plates, and the back of the desk was empty, and it seemed that Chen Liuwang had slipped away at the right time.

When Chen Guang heard that the fish was coming, he stared at the plate that Ling He came, and waved to him impatiently: "Haha, the long-awaited three fresh carp is finally here, and I can smell the fish from afar!" Bring it up! ”

Ling He came to carry the fish, not fast or slow, and walked steadily, and he definitely couldn't spill the fish soup. At this time, Ling Helai was a servant of food, and he couldn't walk as fast as the wind like a chivalrous man, nor could he tremble like Qin Wuyang. There is a precedent for assassinating the monarch in ancient times, but there are very few successes. If Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, he would be defeated by Qin Wuyang's trembling, and of course, Jing Ke's swordsmanship was not very good. dedicated to assassinating King Wu, and the assassination was successful, but he was chopped into meat paste.

Today, Ling Helai has to both succeed in assassination and escape, which is his highest requirement for himself.

Ling He came to the plate and walked step by step to this most powerful person in the whole Chen country, he used to slaughter the world and manipulate life and death, today his life and death are manipulated by Ling He, and his life is slaughtered by Ling He. He stared at the fish on Ling Helai's plate, smelling the fish on Ling Helai's plate, while Ling Helai stared at him behind the plate and saw him bleeding and falling.

Emperor Chen Taidi sniffed, swallowed his saliva, clenched the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant!" The emperor hasn't come yet, and it seems that I want to enjoy this delicious fish to myself! Ha ha! ”

"Just eat it! The fish is delicious, but the fish bones are uncomfortable! Ling Helai sneered in his heart. According to the actions that had been rehearsed countless times before, Ling Helai pretended to slip and fall, and the plate fell to the ground. The ceramic plate instantly cracked into pieces, making a crisp sound, and the sword shattered.

Ling Helai picked up the Mochou sword that had been burned on the plate in advance, jumped up, stepped over the table, and pierced through the heavy Kai and the silkworm talisman soft armor inside the dragon robe, penetrating directly into Chen Guang's heart.

When Ling Helai stabbed Chen Tai Diguang with his sword, he also heard him sigh regretfully because he had fallen into the fish, "Ah, the fish fell? What a pity! Then I saw the expression on his face that he couldn't survive, was helpless, and was terrified.

The emperor, who has a lifetime of Weihe from all over the world, fell from heaven to hell in an instant...
