Chapter Twenty-Four: The World's No. 1 General
As mentioned in the previous chapter, Yue Fei recommended himself and single-handedly went to Jiqian Village to incorporate this group of peasant rebels. Zhao Gou sent Yue Fei away, and arranged for Wang Boyan to prepare wine and meat for Yue Fei and Ji Qian.
Zhao thought of the list of Xiangzhou grain depots that Wang Boyan showed him before, and it seemed that Xiangzhou had a bumper harvest of flour this year, so he added, "Wang Shuai, you send someone to fry a thousand catties of camellia noodles, and those in Ji Qian's team who can't participate in the volunteers, or don't want to join the volunteers, will be given 3 catties of camellia noodles per person to eat on the way back to their hometowns." ”
Wang Boyan heard the name Camellia Noodles for the first time, and was a little puzzled, "King Camellia Noodles?" ”
"Ah", Zhao Gou thought that Wang Boyan didn't know about camellia noodles yet, and explained, "Everyone in the kitchen of Zhizhou Mansion knows that Wang Shuai will arrange it." ”
When Wang Boyan heard Zhao Gou say this, he didn't say much anymore, and arched his hand, "Yes, does the king have any other orders?" ”
Zhao Gou patted Wang Boyan's arm and said solemnly, "Of course, Wang Shuai, I will let you rest for an hour first, and there must be no mistake." ”
Hearing Zhao Gou say this, Qiu Da Belly laughed heartlessly, Wang Boyan is a scholar from the imperial examination, and he pays the most attention to etiquette and morality on the scene, he is not funny, but Qiu Da Belly caused several centurions to laugh, so he had to squeeze out a smile in embarrassment. But even though he was embarrassed, he still seemed to be quite moved, kowtowed and said obedience, then stood up and bowed a few steps backwards, turned around and walked away quickly.
From Zhao Gou's point of view, after Wang Boyan left, all the people in this room were his own people. He leisurely ate meat and drank wine, his heart ignited infinite hope, he was so proud that he even forgot his form, and unconsciously hummed the "National Anthem of Jingzhong" - "The wolf smoke rises, the country looks north, I am willing to defend the land and go to open up the territory......"
Lan Qi saw that Zhao Gou was in a particularly good mood, stepped forward to pour the wine, and said, "King, are you so happy because of that strong man named Yue Fei?" ”
"Of course," Zhao Gou had passed three rounds of wine, and it was the time when he had no words to hide, "Yue Fei, he is the Great Wall of our Great Song Dynasty, and he is destined to become the first general of the ages." Speaking of which, even Zhao Gou felt that he had said too much, and it was easy to bring disaster to Yue Fei when he spoke like this. So, he thought about it, and looked at the people in the house, all of whom were superstitious about ghosts and gods, and he had an idea, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Do you remember that I once fell into the Zhanghe River?" ”
Lan Qi nodded like pounding garlic, "Of course, of course the minion remembers." ”
"In your eyes, I was in a coma for a day and a night, but in fact, I was not unconscious, but was called by the Emperor of Heaven, and my soul was out of my body, and my fugue was too illusory." Zhao Gou said while looking at Lan Qi Kanglu, Zhang Erlang, Zhang Sanlang, Qiu Shi, and Shi Erlang, and saw that they all showed shocked and adoring expressions on their faces, so he was relieved, so he continued, "A big mirror in the realm of too illusory, in this mirror, I see the whole world, and I also see the changes in the world in the next thousand years. Zhao Gou sighed, there was no need to pretend the heaviness on his face and tone, after all, he was a person who had read history books since he was a child, as long as he imagined the history books he spent as a big mirror. I see that just this year and next, China will encounter a tremendous catastrophe that has never been seen in China for 3,000 years. ”
The faces of the people in the room who listened to Zhao Gou's speech changed, and even Zhang Erlang, the eldest of the four centurions and the most stable (just relatively), trembled at the corners of his mouth.
"Fortunately, God bless China, the Emperor of Heaven enlightens me, and the chaos in the world is imminent, and it will be the time when heroes will emerge. The Emperor of Heaven has descended the Big Dipper to the mortal world, and these seven heroes will stand out in the future to help me survive the catastrophe. ”
"That, that, King," Zhang Sanlang said in an eager tone, "This Yue Fei is one of the Big Dipper!?" ”
"Exactly," Zhao Gou nodded with a smile, "Look at it, this time Yue Fei will definitely bring Ji Qian back." Soon, he will lead his army to fight against the Jinren, and he will be invincible in a hundred battles. And in the future, he will be able to smash the Yellow Dragon and completely eradicate the gold thief, and he will be famous all over the world and shocking all directions. ”
Zhao Gou almost turned into a storyteller at this moment, and his six listeners listened with bated breath and nodded frequently.
"Then, my lord, who are the other six?" Shi Erlang asked expectantly.
In fact, what are the seven heroes, this is Zhao Gou's nonsense, after all, the ancients were very particular about numbers, and they were used to engaging in the four major generals, one hundred and eight stars. Zhao Gou said that the Big Dipper was mainly because there were seven dishes on the table at this time. Therefore, Zhao Gou smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be revealed when the time comes." When the new stars appear, I will tell you. However......" Zhao Gou decided to encourage the four of them, "There is also a star among you. ”
"King! Who is it?! The four centurions were immediately excited, and asked in unison.
Zhao Gou smiled slightly and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and Marshal Ben will not tell Yue Fei that he is one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper." ”
"Well, after the king fell into the water, his personality is different from before, it turns out that this is the reason." Lan Qi muttered in a low voice, and then seemed to think of something, and raised his head again and asked, "That king, you recruited Yiyong and met the ten masters one by one, is it also because of this?" ”
"That's right," Zhao Gou nodded, "Most of the Big Dipper Seven Stars will be born in the folk." ”
"Ahh Kang Lu suddenly remembered something, and loudly stroked his palms and exclaimed loudly, "King, the Emperor of Heaven specially recruited you to the heavens, and sent the Big Dipper to the earth, then you are the North Star!" Everyone thinks, isn't the Big Dipper the North Star! ”
After speaking, Kang Lu immediately knelt down, knelt three times and kowtowed, kowtowed, and said in his mouth, "Worship Beichen Xingjun, long live the Ziwei Lord, long live long live." ”
Hearing Kang Lu say this, several people in the room were stunned for a moment, and then probably felt reasonable, and they also knelt down and knocked up.
Zhao Gou didn't actually think about it so much, to be honest, he didn't even know that the North Star represented the emperor star in ancient China and was the lord of the stars. He just wanted to help Yue Fei brag, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gou's superstitious subordinates were so superior, so he smiled a little embarrassedly, "This, Polaris or something, the Emperor didn't say it, and Marshal Ben didn't know." ”
"It must be!" Qiu Da's belly tone was firm, "If the king is not the North Star, why does the Emperor of Heaven only recruit you to heaven and teach you to fry oil tea noodles!?" ”
Zhao Gou was noncommittal, and said in his heart that the ancients really believed this, and then, he picked up his chopsticks and waved them to make them all get up, and then added, "This matter, you must not say it, this is a heavenly opportunity, only those close to you can know." Whoever speaks out will lose his longevity! ”
When the six people heard this, they all said in unison, "Yes! ”
