Chapter 257: Beast Descent (II)
Zhao Dingchen wanted to run, the monster shook his body, and chased after him with a bang, probing his front paws, snap! is shooting on the top of Zhao Dingchen's brain. Can you imagine the result? The brain was shattered immediately.
This monster eats human brains, and it loosens its mouth and drops its steel knife, and with a stretch of its big tongue, it licks its brains clean in a few strokes. On the Caishan Palace, Zhao Changqing and the civil and military officials were stunned.
Meng Ranhao told Hamantuo to quickly lower the monster into the cage. When Hamantuo saw that the beast that had not descended the beast had died, his heart was steady, and he ran into the red cloth curtains.
Meng Ranhao said to Li Mingyuan: "You take a closer look at how Hamantuo subdues the monster. ”
At this time, Hamantuo and the monster fought together, Hamantuo was not in a hurry, and without turning three or four times, the monster was caught by Hamantuo. Grab somewhere? Meng Ranhao and Li Mingyuan looked carefully and saw clearly, Zhao Changqing and the civil and military officials were far away and couldn't see clearly; The second is that Hamantuo moves quickly, and they don't pay much attention. It's just that this monster has just raced the winged tiger, but now it looks like a sheep. Hamanta dragged the monster to the cage door. Let the monster retreat into the iron cage, and close the cage door and lock it.
Meng Ranhao said: "Mingyuan, have you seen clearly?"
Li Mingyuan nodded again and again and said, "I see it clearly." ”
"It's good to see it clearly, it's such a reduction method, don't panic when the time comes, be bold."
Hamantuo walked up to the Caishan Hall proudly and said, "May I ask the Son of Heaven of the Hua Dynasty, which one is still coming to open the bow and descend the beast?"
Zhao Changqing looked at Meng Ranhao, and Meng Ranhao said: "Please ask again, who will be out?" ”
Zhao Changqing asked. No one dared to answer anymore, Zhao Changyong cried loudly and said: "Long live, the minister's son-in-law died for the Dahua River and the mountains, long live he should be posthumously sealed!" ”
Zhao Changqing didn't want to let Zhao Dingchen go, he had to go! Now that he is dead under the claws of the demonic beast, isn't this a disgrace to the Dahua Heavenly Empire? Zhao Changqing was angry, and when he heard Zhao Changyong's request to posthumously seal Zhao Dingchen, he said angrily: "What are you posthumously sealed?" It's nice to take a bite of a coffin. If it weren't for your King Ning's face, you wouldn't even be able to reward a coffin! If it weren't for Mr. Meng, he would have been prepared. The monster is going to rush to the Caishan Temple. The monarch and the minister are not even dead! ”
Zhao Changyong was bored with himself, so he had to ask someone to carry Zhao Dingchen's dead body down and send him back to the house. He didn't leave, because he wanted to see how Li Mingyuan descended the beast.
Zhao Changqing said: "Master Meng." Call your child to the end. ”
Meng Ranhao asked Li Mingyuan to go to the palace and worship Zhao Changqing. He turned to He Mantuo and said, "Can you pull the Zhentian Bow?"
"Of course you can."
"Who can pull it?"
"I'll be able to pull it."
"That's good. You draw the bow and let me see. ”
"Okay."
Hamantuo walked down the Caishan Palace, and Meng Ranhao and Li Mingyuan followed. Meng Ranhao said to Li Mingyuan: "You have to pay attention. See how he pulls the bow away. ”
Hamantuo came to the desk, took the bow in his hand, put on the bowstring, and with strength on both arms, pulled three times in a row, put the bow down, and took off the bowstring. looked at Meng Ranhao intently, that means: I pulled it away, who of you will pull it?
Meng Ranhao was speechless, waved his hand at Li Mingyuan, Li Mingyuan stepped forward, picked up the bow with his hand, put on the bowstring, pulled three times in a row, put down the bow, his anger did not grow, and his face was not colorful. The Caishan Hall cheered continuously. Zhao Chang's courage was so puffed up, he wished that Li Mingyuan would die under the claws of the demonic beast.
Meng Ranhao stepped up to the Caishan Hall and said: "Long live, Li Mingyuan has pulled the Zhentian bow away, please pass the decree and put the bow into the warehouse." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled happily and shouted: "Come on, put the Zhentian Bow into the warehouse." ”
Hamantuo: "Master Meng, please ask General Li to surrender the beast." ”
"Wait."
After Meng Ranhao finished speaking, he gave an order, and all the officers and soldiers brought a lot of charcoal stoves. Set it on fire. The fires were all very strong, and they were placed one by one in the red cloth curtains, and they also formed a circle. Zhao Changqing and the civil and military ministers were secretly thinking; What kind of trick did Meng Ranhao do, what was the use of making these charcoal stoves?
Meng Ranhao said to Hamantuo: "You go and prepare to release the demonic beast." ”
Hamantuo left, and Meng Ranhao said, "Mingyuan, you go and descend the beast." ”
Li Mingyuan worshiped his godfather, didn't take any blades, and walked into the red cloth curtains. Meng Ranhao went to the Caishan Palace. After Hamantuo opened the cage, he retreated, and the demonic beast had eaten Zhao Dingchen's brain just now, and he felt that he had not yet satisfied his hunger, and when he saw the cage door open. There's another person out there, poof! As soon as he jumped out, he pounced on Li Mingyuan.
The people in the Caishan Hall had straight eyes, and Zhao Changqing looked like a clay sculpture, and no part of his body moved. Zhao Changyong's two fists clenched out of the water, and secretly worked hard for the demonic beast, eager to help the demonic beast swallow Li Mingyuan in one bite.
Xie Xian's heart was in his throat, and he wished that Li Mingyuan would kill the demonic beast with one punch! He's in a hurry. Hearing the sound of a magnetic ear in his ears, he turned his head to see that Meng Ranhao pinched the small wine jug. Drink it mouth-to-mouth again! No one dared to stop him from drinking, because the emperor named him a wine fairy.
Xie Xian whispered: "Master Meng, drink less, why are you playing there!" ”
Meng Ranhao said disappreciatively: "He's playing with demonic beasts!"
Yes? Do you have any trouble with your life? Xie Xian said dumbfounded.
Li Mingyuan saw the demonic beast pounce, flashed, stretched out his hand a little, but didn't catch it, it was not easy to catch it again. Meng Ranhao saw that Li Mingyuan was empty.
This trick failed, the small wine jug was pinched in his hand, he didn't drink it anymore, he didn't say anything in his mouth, and he sweated for Li Mingyuan in his heart. Li Mingyuan fought with the Warcraft, and all the kung fu of his body came out, and he hit it with one punch, and the Warcraft was fine, and he kicked it with one kick, but it didn't work; Point on the point, white work. Li Mingyuan secretly thought: If I continue to fight like this, my life will not be saved! I've got to tease it and make it pounce on me! I can use the trick my godfather taught me to stop it!
So, I found a vacancy, jumped a few steps in a row, and suddenly stood still. When the monster saw it, it pounced. Li Mingyuan flashed and stretched out his hand, grabbed the hair on the monster's head, he saw that the monster jumped forward too violently, improvised and jumped up, came to a riding horse squat crotch style, and rode on the monster.
The monster was stunned. Shaking his head and tail, he wanted to throw Li Mingyuan down. Li Mingyuan grabbed the beast's fur tightly, and he didn't let go no matter how it shook it. The monster wanted to eat Li Mingyuan, but his mouth couldn't reach it; Flick with your tail. I can't hit either. The monster was angry and anxious, roared, and thundered. Call! jumped up more than two feet high, and many people's hearts also hung up with the breath.
The monster wanted to suddenly jump up, shake its body again, and throw Li Mingyuan down. If you throw it off, is it okay? Who is not afraid! Meng Ranhao said: "Monarchs and ministers don't need to be afraid. Li Mingyuan is gone. has the ability to subdue beasts, look, Li Mingyuan is about to subdue monsters!"
The monster jumped up more than two feet high, trying to throw Li Mingyuan down. Li Mingyuan rode on it. Both hands grabbed the fur from its head. Clamp the two legs together. Didn't shake it. Wait for the monster to land. Li Mingyuan took advantage of the situation to twist the monster's head down, and the monster thought: You want me to gnaw on the mud, no way! Come to think of it. It twisted its head to the right. Hey, just at this juncture, Li Mingyuan still grabbed the animal hair on its head with his left hand, freed his right hand, and brushed! The hand is fast, the thumb and index finger are stretched out, and the nostrils are slammed into its nostrils. Li Mingyuan pinched the cartilage on the bridge of his nose. For this monster, wherever you hit it or kick it, it is not afraid, it is afraid to pinch this place. This place is its key point, and as soon as you pinch the cartilage of its nose, it will become soft, like a sheep, and it will do whatever it wants.
Li Mingyuan saw the monster collapse to the ground, so he jumped down from it, grabbed the demon bone on the bridge of the monster's nose with his hand, and dragged it to the cage. He lowered the monster into its cage, closed the door, and locked it. At this time, there was a cheer from the Caishan Palace.
Meng Ranhao played: "Long live, this beast has been subdued, it is better to put it to death to avoid future troubles." ”
"In Meng Aiqing's opinion." Meng Ranhao commanded, and all the officers and soldiers threw the charcoal fire in the charcoal stove into the cage. It turns out that this monster is afraid of red colors, and even more afraid of fire. Otherwise, how to brush the red oil on the big iron cage! Meng Ranhao instructed to form a big circle with red cloth curtains, also to prevent it from running out and hurting people.
The charcoal stove also plays this role. Once Li Mingyuan couldn't suppress the demonic beast and jumped out of the charcoal furnace Zhou'er, the demonic beast would not dare to chase it. Now, the charcoal fire was thrown into the iron cage, and the monster was so frightened that it didn't dare to move, and waited for it to die.
The bow was also opened, the beast also descended, and Zhao Changqing was broken. Zhao Changyong hung his head, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his eldest aunt Zhao Dingzhi had died unjustly, so he stepped forward and moved: "Long live, the minister's son-in-law is wronged!" ”
"Where does the injustice come from?"
"Before Zhao Dingchen opened the bow, why didn't Meng Ranhao let Hamantuo open the bow first? Before his godson Li Mingyuan opened the bow, he asked what barbarian tuo to open the bow, why is this? Before Zhao Dingchen surrendered the beast, he didn't surround the charcoal stove, why is this? According to the minister's opinion, this is clearly Meng Ranhao's intention to frame the minister's son-in-law. ”
Meng Ranhao smiled and said, "King Ning, what you said is all things that have nothing to do with wind and horses. What can Hamantuo do if he doesn't draw the bow first? In your opinion, after Hamantuo pulls the bow, no matter who it is, the bow will open as soon as it is pulled, can it? If you think it's a drawback, you can try it. The purpose of putting the charcoal stove is to burn the demonic beast to death, I know that your son-in-law does not have the ability to subdue the beast, what is the use of going to encircle the charcoal fire and jealousy? Say a thousand, say ten thousand, who do you blame? I should blame your son-in-law for teaching ability! ”
Zhao Changqing was originally dissatisfied with Zhao Dingchen's opening of the bow and the surrender of the beast, he couldn't even pull the bow, and he insisted on descending the beast, hum, they all complained that he was stubborn! Although this was the case, Zhao Changqing didn't say that, but said to Zhao Changyong coldly: "Forget it!" ”
Zhao Changyong touched his nose again. Zhao Changqing asked Ha Mantuo triumphantly: "What else do you have to say?" Hamantuo must be respectful, kowtow and say: "The minister has nothing to say, I Bohai pays tribute to the Dahua Heavenly Dynasty every year, and I am a minister every year." ”
Hamantuo led his entourage back to Bohai without mentioning it. Besides, Zhao Changqing happily returned to the Golden Palace with hundreds of civil and military officials, and after sitting down, he shouted: "Li Mingyuan,"
"The grass people are here."
"I named you General Dingyuan."
Zhao Changyong hurriedly said: "Wait." Banzai. Although Li Mingyuan has made meritorious contributions in opening the bow and subduing beasts, how many lives does he have, besides, he is a demon of the White Lotus Sect. How can you be named General Dingyuan?"
Li Mingyuan: "It's me who hurts people's lives, but I'm definitely not a demon of the White Lotus Sect!"
"You say no, no? How unreasonable! ”
Without waiting for Zhao Changqing to speak, Meng Ranhao said: "Long live, the minister sees that General Dingyuan will not be sealed, if it is sealed." King Ning is also not convinced! So be it, from now on. No one is allowed to call Li Mingyuan a demon again, and the lives he injured will also be written off, which is also the credit that Li Mingyuan earned by opening the bow and subduing the beast. From today onwards, he can go wherever he wants, and King Ning is not allowed to send anyone to arrest him. King Ning, what do you think?"
Of course, Zhao Changyong was very happy, because he was afraid that Li Mingyuan would become a general of Dingyuan and become an official in the court. That's why he made it difficult in every way. Blocked in every way. Now. Meng Ranhao took the initiative not to appoint Li Mingyuan as an official, and Zhao Changyong finally got rid of a piece of his heart.
Zhao Changqing was undecided about this matter, so he asked Li Mingyuan: "What do you think of what you said to your godfather?"
"Obey the Father."
Zhao Changqing: "Okay." So be it. You are not to blame for your past. Nothing to do. ”
Among the civil and military officials. Some Zhongliang were very angry, some complained that Meng Ranhao should not say that he should not be "General Dingyuan", and some complained that the emperor should not let a hero like Li Mingyuan go. Meng Ranhao took Li Mingyuan back to the Golden Pavilion.
Zhang Wen. Li Wu admired Li Mingyuan very much, and asked, "Why didn't Master Li ask Li Mingyuan to be an official in the court?" ”
Meng Ranhao smiled but did not answer. When I arrived at the Golden Pavilion Pavilion, a wine banquet was set up, the father and son ate and talked about wine, Meng Ranhao said: "Mingyuan, you went down to the beast, and you didn't catch the monster for the first time, so I'm really worried about you!" You can adapt to the changes in the situation of fighting the beast, do not forget the essentials in the change, and finally subdue the monster, which is really worthy of a hero! ”
Li Mingyuan let Meng Ranhao's praise feel very unnatural, and he said: "Godfather, you praise Gan'er too much." ”
While the two were chatting, Xie Xian and Lin Shiyu came to visit, and Xie Xian asked, "I wonder why Master Meng didn't ask Mingyuan to be an official?"
"Mingyuan himself has a life, this time he made meritorious service to atone for his crimes, let's talk about it later."
Xie Xian and Lord Lin asked Meng Ranhao again, who is in the family? Meng Ranhao said: "My parents are in the hall, my wife is dead, and I have a son and a daughter. "Why doesn't Master Meng continue the string?"
"The best drink of my life. For this reason, I have traveled all over the world, and I have traveled almost all the mountains and rivers in the world. Wherever I go, as long as I find out where the good wine is made, no matter how far away, I have to go there and drink a few times before I am willing. I just want to be a Taoist priest in the future and travel all over the world, so I have no intention of continuing the string. ”
The two adults discussed the grievances in the court again, and then got up to take their leave.
Lin Shiyu knew that Meng Ranhao had not yet renewed, and suddenly thought of his old sister Lin Meiyu, who was in her thirties and had not gone out yet. The old lady at home is pampered by this girl, the mother is inseparable from the daughter, and the daughter is inseparable from the mother, dragging it back and forth, dragging it to the present. Lin Shiyu took a fancy to Meng Ranhao and didn't dare to mention it in person, for fear that Meng Ranhao would refuse and lose his face. Therefore, I told Xie Xian about it. Xie Xian was happy to take care of this matter, and said, "This matter is on me. ”
Why does he dare to take it all over? He thought about it, and he wanted to go to the palace to play the book and let the emperor come forward. Xie Xian went to the palace to face the king, and as soon as he said this, Zhao Changqing was quite happy, summoned Meng Ranhao to the palace, and said, "Meng Aiqing, I am the master to set a marriage for you, what do you think?" Meng Ranhao repeatedly excused himself. Zhao Changqing said: "Meng Aiqing, there is no need to shirk anymore, I have made up my mind." Meng Ranhao had no choice but to agree, but he didn't know who Lu Dao would marry! asked: "Long live, Weichen doesn't know who the woman is?" When Zhao Changqing heard this, he couldn't hold back his joy, and thought: After talking for a long time, how could I forget about this! said: "The woman is Lin Shiyu's sister Lin Meiyu. ”
Xie Xian: "Long live, Master Meng and Miss Lin are not young, I hope that Long Live will fulfill the two of them as soon as possible." Today, Master Meng still lives in the Golden Pavilion ......"
Zhao Changqing understood what Xie Xian meant, so he ordered someone to clean up the empty official mansion and ask Meng Ranhao to stay temporarily. The emperor gave an order, so can you clean it up quickly? It didn't take long to pack up. Meng Ranhao moved from the Golden Pavilion to Fuzhong. Xie Xian found an auspicious day, Meng Ranhao and Lin Meiyu got married, and the happy event was very lively. Lin Meiyu passed the door, and her nephew Lin Zhong did not live in the Lin Mansion, but moved to her brother-in-law's house, and practiced martial arts with Li Mingyuan every day, leaving left and right.
The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, which had been delayed by the Bohai envoys, was finally put on the agenda. Zhao Changqing said with great interest that the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners must be held in a glorious atmosphere to demonstrate the prestige of the country.
Li Mingyuan was originally the deputy envoy who escorted the prisoners into Beijing, and of course he had to participate in such an atmospheric scene. There's never been a better time to be in the limelight.
In Meng Ranhao's mansion, Li Mingyuan was taking a group of young men and women on a picnic, and the staple food was a few poor fat chickens.
"Brother Li, are you sure this chicken can still be eaten after it is placed in the soil?" Lin Zhong looked at the chicken called Hua that was being cooked, and said with some disgust.
Li Mingyuan smiled proudly, "The skills of this chef can't be doubted, you ask Yuxin, and then ask Qiuzhu, when I was in Liangzhou, the food I made was priceless!" ”
Hearing Li Mingyuan's words, everyone turned their eyes to the two beauties, and under the gaze of everyone, Qiu Zhu took the lead in rebelling, "Although it is delicious, is it an exaggeration to be priceless?" ”
"yes, and you didn't do anything special, it seems to be hot pot!" Yuxin also added a sentence with a pretentious matter.
Li Mingyuan: "~~~~~~~~! ”
Everyone: "~~~~~~~! ”
In everyone's meaningful gaze, Li Mingyuan pointed to the two beauties and trembled: It's so hateful, how can you betray me so easily. Is there any more principle?
Zhao Qiying: No way, who made your character so bad.
"That's it, that's it!" Qiu Zhu agreed.
"What's wrong with my character? Who doesn't say that I am of high morals and a saint? Li Mingyuan angrily defended.
"Yes, why was he arrested as a demon just after he arrived in the capital?" Zhao Yanyu, who has not talked much, actually joined the battle group. (To be continued......)
