Chapter 256: Beast Surrender (I)

When Zhao Changyong heard this, his lungs were about to explode. Say, "You, you, you, you've drunk too much!"

"Yes, if I don't drink a little bit, can Banzai make me a wine fairy? I'm happy to drink a lot today, but I'm not drunk a lot, King Ning, which of your words is drunk from me?"

"Don't put on your boots and raise your feet high, with empty eyes and no one in your eyes. I advise you to hand over Li Mingyuan quickly!"

Meng Ranhao sneered three times: "I can't say that there is no sin, even if I am guilty, I can't hand it over to you!"

"Be clearβ€”I'm here with troops."

"What do you dare to do to me with your troops?" Meng Ranhao's shout, King Ning trembled with anger, and said, "You, what can you do to me?" Meng Ranhao turned around and shouted, "Mingyuan." Call me!" Li Mingyuan showed his scimitar and wanted to cut Zhao Changyong!

Li Mingyuan showed his scimitar and wanted to hit Zhao Changyong. Seeing that the situation was not good, King Ning turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "Meng Ranhao, let's see you in the Golden Palace!"

Meng Ranhao: "You go first!"

Zhao Changyong ordered the withdrawal of troops and led the generals to leave. Li Mingyuan said: "Godfather, what should I do?" Meng Ranhao asked, "Do you have the guts?" Godfather. Children have guts. ”

"Okay, you have the courage to go to the Golden Palace with your teacher."

Meng Ranhao took him to the door. Zhao Changyong asked Tang Kehu to take away the soldiers and horses, he took a few servants to the noon gate, got off the horse, and asked the messenger to report to the Golden Palace. said that he was going to go to the temple to face the king's book.

Zhao Changqing sat down in the Golden Palace and summoned Zhao Changyong to the palace. After King Ning bowed, he said, "Long live." The minister has his own music. ”

"Come on." For this brother, it is difficult for Zhao Changqing to mention much friendship.

Meng Ranhao was ordered to praise the official. There is no king in his eyes, and the cross street robs the law field and rescues the big demon Li Mingyuan. ”

Zhao Changqing was stunned, and was just about to ask about it, when Lin Shiyu stepped forward and said: "Long live, there is something unknown about Weichen, Li Mingyuan is in prison, only waiting for the royal trial of Longlou." How did King Ning say that Bachelor Meng snatched the enamel field on the cross street to rescue Li Mingyuan? ”

Lin Shiyu knew about the killing of Li Mingyuan on the cross street of Ludao Road, but he didn't know that it was an order from King Ning. It is still the decree of the emperor, if it is an order issued by King Ning. These words are equivalent to giving King Ning a stick; If it is the emperor's decree. These words are equivalent to the emperor's army: "Don't you want the Dragon Tower Imperial Trial?" Why did you order Li Mingyuan to be killed without trial?"

Zhao Changqing's heart was also very angry. Because he didn't know anything about it. When he really wanted to ask, the father-in-law on the side said softly next to him, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there is a prince involved!" ”

Hear this. Zhao Changqing felt that he was at a loss. Originally, it was said that it was going to be the royal trial of the Dragon Tower. But being stirred up by his own son, what is this called! But if you take care of the loss, you can't admit your mistake! The ugliness of the family should not be publicized. So he pretended to be calm and said, "This is my will." ”

At this moment, the Huangmen official came to play: "Long live Qiyu, Meng Ranhao, a scholar from Hanlin, wants to go to the palace to revoke his grievances." ”

"Summoning Meng Ranhao to the temple." Meng Ranhao went to the palace to worship, Zhao Changqing: "What is the matter with Master Meng going to the palace?" ”

"Long live, Weichen has been wronged!"

"Meng Aiqing played."

"Weichen didn't know what crime he was committing, King Ning led the soldiers to the Golden Pavilion to arrest Weichen. If it weren't for the 3,000 Imperial Forest Army, 500 knife sharpeners, 40 captains, and Zhang Wen and Li Wu, the two imperial commanders, to protect Weichen, how could there be Weichen's life! ”

"King Ning, is there such a thing?"

"Long live, Master Meng rescued the big demon Li Mingyuan, and the minister led the troops to the Golden Pavilion Pavilion. In order to arrest Li Mingyuan, not to arrest Master Meng. ”

"Meng Aiqing, why did you save the big demon?"

"Long live, Li Mingyuan is Weichen's apprentice, not a big demon. If it weren't for Weichen who went to the street to praise the official and save Li Mingyuan, he would have been beheaded by King Ning. Li Mingyuan is really wronged, and I hope to live it clearly. He is now outside the noon gate, long live the decree. Summoning him to the palace, the dragon tower royal trial, as soon as you ask, you will know. ”

"It's okay, take Li Mingyuan to the palace."

Not long after, Li Mingyuan went to the hall and knelt down to pay homage to Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing asked, "Are you a murderous demon?"

"Long live, the grass people are not demons, and they don't kill innocents indiscriminately."

At this time, Meng Ranhao said: "Child, let go of your guts, don't be afraid, the Jinluan Palace is the most reasonable place, you have to tell the truth." ”

Zhao Changqing said: "Yes, you are not allowed to tell half a lie. ”

Li Mingyuan explained in detail why he entered Beijing, the brothers of the Bao family in Shandong were ordered to stand up, and how he was arrested from beginning to end. Lin Shiyu played: "Long live, it seems that Li Mingyuan has no lies, what he said today is not bad at all with the confession he recruited that day." ”

Meng Ranhao said: "Long live, the brothers of the Bao family in Shandong were ordered to shake the matter, I don't know if Long Live knows about it?"

Zhao Changyong saw that something was wrong, and without waiting for Zhao Changqing to answer, he hurriedly said: "Long live, it was obviously Li Mingyuan who killed people, and now there is no proof of his death, how can you listen to his words?" The brothers of the Bao family in Liangzhou are seeking talents for the country, what is the crime?"

Zhao Changqing is not stupid,

"There is no need to dwell on this matter anymore, I will send a subordinate Qin to investigate and then deal with it. Temporarily put Li Mingyuan back in prison. No one is allowed to arraign Li Mingyuan at will. ”

Meng Ranhao: "Wait. Long live Li Mingyuan can no longer be taken back to prison. ”

"Why?"

"He is the one who is looking for the man who will open the bow and descend the beast. If you put him in prison, who will shoot the bow and bring down the beast?"

When Zhao Changqing heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, his eyes were as wide as bell fruits, and he shouted: "Li Mingyuan, can you really open a bow and descend beasts?"

Li Mingyuan thought to himself: What does the bow look like. I have never seen what the beast looks like, how can I know the way? But then I think about it, I still have to say yes. If you say you can't, won't you pit me as a godfather? I might as well be bigger, if I can't bring down the beast, won't I die? Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said, "What's so difficult about that?"

Meng Ranhao heard it: Okay, my kid has guts!

Zhao Changqing said: "Okay! If you can really shoot a bow and subdue beasts. If you are guilty, I will pardon you and make you a general. Come, go to the temple of Xuanha Mantuo, and say that I have found the person who opened the bow and descended the beast. ”

Meng Ranhao hurriedly stopped: "Long live, the beast can't be lowered on the Golden Palace." Not at noon, because the beast was so fierce that it might hurt people's lives. ”

"Meng Aiqing. Where do you say it's appropriate?"

"It's only appropriate on campus. Before the beast is subdued, there must be some arrangements. Not today, because Weichen's child has been imprisoned for many days, his health is not good, and his spirit is not good, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to open the bow and descend the beast. Weichen took him back to the Golden Pavilion to rest for three days, and then he ate and drank well. Sleep well. Raise your spirits. At that time, it will be easy to open a bow and descend a beast on the school field. ”

Meng Aiqing's words are reasonable, according to Aiqing's opinion. Open the bow. Everything about the beast. All arranged by Meng Aiqing. ”

Zhao Changqing flicked the sleeves of his robe and drove back to the palace. The civil and military ministers each went down to their palaces and returned to their homes. How could Zhao Changyong, the king of Ning, be so angry today! was hit by Meng Ranhao today. The evil anger in his heart could not be eliminated, and when he returned home, he pondered how to use a trick to deal with Meng Ranhao.

Meng Ranhao took Li Mingyuan back to the Golden Pavilion Pavilion. asked someone to set the wine to Li Mingyuan to suppress the shock. The banquet was set up, and he ordered his men to retreat. The father and son chatted while drinking, and Meng Ranhao asked Li Mingyuan with a smile: "Child." Can you really shoot a bow and subdue beasts?"

Li Mingyuan blushed and said, "Godfather, I don't know what to do." It's just because you said in the Golden Temple that I can shoot a bow and descend beasts. So, the child had to say yes. If he can't, won't his godfather commit the crime of defrauding the king?"

"Mingyuan, you said it well, you are right, you should say so in the Golden Palace. I'm going to say you can do it, and you're going to do it. ”

"Godfather, don't think too highly of the child, the child is really not sure."

"I ask you, do you have the guts?" Have guts. ”

"If you have the guts, you can tell you how to open a bow and subdue beasts. By your strength. With your martial arts, you will succeed. But you must never tell anyone about it. ”

"Remember, child. Ask the godfather to teach the child how to open the bow and how to descend the beast. ”

While drinking, Meng Ranhao talked about the characteristics of the bow and goodness, and how to put on the bowstring to pull the bow, and at the same time told him that if you want to subdue the demonic beast, you must be so, look at the timing, be bold, not cowardly. If you are timid, you may have to worry about your life! In addition, the hands should be fast, the grasp should be accurate, and the hands should be ruthless! Meng Ranhao talked about the method of subduing the beast, afraid that Li Mingyuan would not be able to remember, and asked Li Mingyuan to study ink, so he took the pen and wrote them down one by one. After writing, Mrs. Li carefully read it from beginning to end. Because of a mistake in one word, Li Mingyuan's life was given. After reading it, he asked Li Mingyuan to take it and look at it, and said, "If you don't understand something, I'll tell you again as a teacher." ”

Li Mingyuan looked at it carefully three times from beginning to end, and said: "Godfather, the child understands everything." ”

Meng Ranhao said: "It's not enough to understand, don't talk to our father and son in the past three days, in addition to eating, drinking, practicing, and sleeping, you must memorize all these essentials written for the teacher, keep them in your heart, and don't be careless." The bow is not scary, that monster should be especially careful! If you can't remember the essentials, your life will be lost. ”

"Godfather, please rest assured, the child must have it all in mind. Godfather, you are very kind to your children. How to repay the child! ”

"Don't talk too much. Go back to your room and rest. The next day, Meng Ranhao instructed people to prepare for the beast surrender in the school field, and Li Mingyuan practiced and memorized the essentials of beast surrender written by his godfather. In the blink of an eye, the day has come to open the bow and descend the beast. Meng Ranhao was afraid that Li Mingyuan would not memorize it, so he asked again before he was relieved, and after eating breakfast with Li Mingyuan, he led Zhang Wen, Li Wu, the school captain, the knife sharpener, and the Imperial Forest Army to the school field.

At this time, Zhao Changqing and hundreds of civil and military officials also came to the school field, and Zhao Changqing went to the Caishan Hall to sit down. Meng Ranhao asked Li Mingyuan, Zhang Wen, Li Wu and others to wait at His Royal Highness Caishan, and went up to the palace to see him.

Zhao Changyong, Zhao Xingjiang, Zhao Xinghe, Lin Shiyu, etc., all officials of all sizes appeared. Because everyone knows that Li Mingyuan wants to open a bow and surrender beasts today, but they don't know how to descend beasts, and they all want to open their eyes.

Zhao Changqing asked Meng Ranhao: "Meng Aiqing, is Li Mingyuan here?"

"Waiting for His Highness."

"Meng Aiqing, everything is ready?"

"It's well arranged."

"Can you send Hamantuo to the school?"

"Yes."

Zhao Changqing ordered people to go to Xuanha Mantuo to bring a bow and beast to the school field. After a while, Hamantuo came with his retinue. Someone was carrying the Zhentian Bow contained in the box. Someone was pushing a flat cart with eight small wheels, and on it was carrying a large iron cage containing the beast. Because this is an iron cage, and the monster is too heavy, it is pulled by a flat car.

Entered the school field, what a barbarian commanded. Put the cage down. The cage is oily and red, and it looks red and shiny. He Mantuo walked up to the Caishan Palace, met Zhao Changqing, and said that the bow and beast were coming, please send someone to open the bow and descend the beast. Li Mingyuan saw Zhao Changqing and stood beside Meng Ranhao.

Zhao Changqing: "Master Meng, Hamantuo brought the bow and beast here, and you called Li Mingyuan to show his genius." ”

Meng Ranhao: "Long live, since Weichen's child comes, he will be able to open a bow and descend beasts." But. Wechen wanted to ask Banzai to ask the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs first. Is there anyone who can shoot a bow and subdue a beast? If there is, give it to someone else; If not, it's not too late for Weichen to tell the child to go down. ”

"Why is that?"

If you don't ask first, Weichen asked Li Mingyuan to open the bow. Descend the beast. I'm afraid some people say that we are stealing credit. ”

"No need to ask. No. ”

"Hooray, it's better to ask."

"It's fine. Everyone, there are bows and beasts brought by Hamantuo today. Who goes down and shoots the bow and descends the beast! ”

That's a real question. Zhao Changyong, the king of Ning, prepared to let his eldest aunt open a bow and surrender beasts. His eldest aunt's name is Zhao Dingchen, he is tall and physical, his strength is outstanding, and his kung fu is extraordinary, and he can be said to be a general who can fight well. However, since Zhao Dingchen has such a lost ability, why didn't Zhao Changyong let him come out early to open the bow and surrender the beast, because Zhao Changyong didn't want anyone to open the bow and surrender the beast at all, so he hoped that Bohai would raise troops to attack Dahua, so that he could take advantage of the national turmoil to seize the throne and ascend the throne.

That day, on the Golden Palace, Meng Ranhao said that Li Mingyuan could open a bow and subdue beasts, and Li Mingyuan also said: "What's so difficult about that." "Ning Wang Mao, when he returned to the mansion, he pondered how to deal with Meng Ranhao. pondered for a long time, and decided to let the eldest aunt come out and shoot the bow and descend the beast. He called Zhao Dingchen over. He said, 'Son-in-law, the day has come when you will rise to the top. ”

"Father-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

"The four treasures came in from the Bohai Sea, Meng Ranhao explained the table and knew the pearls, and was named the bachelor of Hanlin, the immortal in the wine, and Mr. Yu by Long live; Three days later, on the school grounds, whoever can shoot a bow and surrender a beast will be named the general of heaven. The virtuous son-in-law has extraordinary strength and excellent martial arts, and when he draws his bow and lowers the beast, he can be famous and far-reaching, and high-ranking officials have to do it, isn't this a place to get ahead?"

"Father-in-law, rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely become a general."

"Okay, the virtuous son-in-law should practice hard in these three days. Three days later, the old man will take you to the school field. ”

In this way, Zhao Changyong brought his eldest aunt Zhao Dingchen today.

Zhao Changqing asked who could open the bow and descend the beast, and Zhao Changyong said: "Long live, the minister's son-in-law, Zhao Dingchen, is going to open the bow and descend the beast today." ”

Zhao Changqing was very unhappy and said: "King Ning, the imperial list has been posted for many days, if your uncle can open the bow and subdue the beast, why don't you come early?" Today, Li Mingyuan is going to open the bow and descend the beast, your uncle has just come out, doesn't it make Master Meng think more? ”

Meng Ranhao said: "Long live, why do you want to ask first?" There are others who can do it, Weichen doesn't let Li Mingyuan end up, others can't; Weichen called Li Mingyuan down again. There is no flat land, no mountains! ”

Zhao Changqing had no choice but to ask Zhao Dingchen to open the bow and descend the beast. At His Highness Caishan, Hamantuo asked someone to take out the Hercules bow from the box and place it on a table that had been prepared. Hamantuo said, "General Zhao, please come and open the bow." ”

The guards on the school field, the monarchs and ministers on the Caishan Palace, all looked at Zhao Dingchen. Zhao Dingchen put the bow in his hand and felt quite heavy. He didn't get the bowstring on for a long time, and he was so tired that he opened his mouth and panted, and his sweat came down. After putting on the bowstring, he used all the strength of the milk, and he also pulled the bow away. I had no choice but to put the bow down and said to Hamanta: "I can't pull the bow, but I can bring down the beast." ”

Hamanta said, "Yes." ”

At this time, Zhao Changqing called Zhao Dingchen to Caishan Palace, not wanting to ask him to descend the beast, for fear of his life. However, Zhao Dingchen was obsessed with ghosts, and he was determined to be a general, so he knelt down in the hall and said: "Long live, don't look at me and I didn't pull the bow, but I can subdue the beast." ”

When Meng Ranhao heard this, this kid was still not convinced, and he was stunned to descend the beast, so he said: "Long live, since he can descend the beast, let him go." ”

Zhao Changqing said: "King Ning, can he do it?"

Zhao Changyong didn't dare to answer directly, now he feels that this matter is not as easy as he thought, just now Zhao Dingchen didn't pull out the bow for half a day, it's embarrassing enough, if he can't stop the beast, not only will he lose face, but he will also lose his life! So he asked, "Dingchen, can you do it?" If not, forget it. ”

Zhao Dingchen said: "It can be done. ”

This kid bit him to death, he had to surrender the beast, so Zhao Changqing had to tell him to end.

Zhao Dingchen came to the school field, Meng Ranhao also walked down the Caishan Palace, Hamantuo wanted to open the cage, Meng Ranhao said: "Slow, the beast is not as good as opening the bow, you must arrange it well." Then, with an order, the officers and soldiers used the big red cloth curtains that had been prepared in advance to encircle the iron cage in a large circle. Zhao Changqing and the civil and military officials felt inexplicable about this arrangement, and they couldn't figure out why they wanted to arrange it like this. Hamanta understood what was going on, so he didn't feel a little panicked in his heart.

Meng Ranhao said: "Hamantuo, you can prepare to open the cage." Zhao Dingchen held a steel knife in his hand, entered the circle of red cloth curtains, and jumped onto the iron cage, pop! After stomping three times, the monster stood up in an instant.

Hamantuo jumped down, opened the big red lock on the cage door, pulled the cage door, and retreated. When the monster saw the cage door open, he shook the hair off his body, and jumped out of the cage with its hind legs and front legs.

Zhao Dingchen looked at this monster: the lion head, the leopard tail, the elephant body and tiger legs, his eyes glared like a bright light, and he pounced. When Zhao Dingchen saw that the monster was so fierce, he was so frightened that his heart pounded. Now, I'm afraid it won't work, he hurriedly flashed, the monster flew into the air, he brandished the steel knife, and slashed at the monster's head.

How do you know that the monster didn't dodge, turned his head and opened his mouth, and immediately bit the steel knife, and shrank back, the steel knife in Zhao Dingchen's hand couldn't hold it, and the monster dragged the knife away. Zhao Dingchen saw that the situation was not good, so he turned around and ran away. (To be continued......)
