Chapter 600: Shame
"Report!"
At this moment, a eunuch walked in quickly, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Xicang Continent has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, do you want to announce him into the palace." ”
The Empress nodded and said, "Let him in." ”
When the words fell, the ministers of civil and military affairs, who were still talking, immediately closed their mouths, and at the same time cast their eyes towards the entrance of the hall.
I saw that outside the hall, a eunuch with a middle-aged man walked in slowly.
The man is about thirty years old, dressed in a moon-white robe, very temperamental, handsome and extraordinary. His name is Wu Yong, and he is an envoy sent by Emperor Xicang.
That's right, the Xicang Continent does want to invade the Nanyun Continent.
It's just that the Xicang Continent knows very little about the Nanyun Continent.
Therefore, Emperor Xicang asked Wu Yong to explore the strength of the Nanyun Continent.
At the same time, Emperor Xicang even explained to Wu Yong that after coming to Nanyun Palace, he met the empress and the minister of civil and military affairs, and he must take good care of them.
Hiss!
The moment he entered the main hall, Wu Yong took a breath of cool air! This Nanyun Continent is too strong, right? These civil and military officials, all of them are masters!
Thinking about it, Wu Yong hugged his fist at the empress: "Wu Yong, the envoy of Xicang, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live." ”
Of course, it was just a fist, and there was no intention of kneeling at all.
At this time, Wu Yong thought about it, even if the overall strength of Nanyun Continent was strong, he couldn't embarrass Xicanghuang.
"Wow!"
Seeing that Wu Yong was so rude, he didn't kneel down to the empress, and the civil and military officials present were all angry.
This envoy of the Western Cang is too arrogant, isn't it?!
Seeing that Her Majesty the Empress did not kneel, it was clear that he did not take Nanyun Continent in his eyes.
At this time, Yuan Fei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, walked out and looked at Wu Yong coldly: "Seeing our Majesty the Empress, in order not to kneel?" Your Xicang Continent, is there no rules like this? ”
"Buzz!"
When he said this, an extremely strong aura erupted from Yuan Fei's body, and his eyes locked on Wu Yong even more tightly.
For a while, the atmosphere of the entire hall was depressing, almost breathless.
"Whew..."
Feeling the strong aura on Yuan Fei's body, Wu Yong's expression changed, and then he smiled slightly: "This great commander, this is wrong. I am our Xicang Emperor, the hand-picked messenger, representing the Xicang Continent, to visit the Nanyun Continent in a friendly manner. But I am not a subject of Her Majesty, so why should I kneel? ”
Saying that, Wu Yong looked at the empress and continued with a smile: "I think it is understandable that Her Majesty the empress is generous and benevolent. ”
When he said this, Wu Yong's face was calm, but he was a little nervous.
Seriously, the overall strength of this Nanyun Continent is really too strong.
Especially the powerful oppressive force that erupted from the civil and military ministers in front of them was almost suffocating.
But he represents the Xicang Continent, and he must not be cowardly.
"You..."
Hearing this, Yuan Fei looked angry, but he couldn't refute it.
Immediately, Yuan Fei's mind turned, looked at Wu Yong and chuckled: "Envoy Wu is really eloquent, then let me ask you, you are a courtier in the Xicang Continent, and when you see the Xicang Emperor, you must kneel, right?" Our empress has the same status as Emperor Xicang, why don't you kneel? ”
As the words fell, the others around nodded their heads in agreement.
"Yes, kneel, kneel!"
"The envoy of the Xicang Continent is really not educated at all."
At this time, Princess Changqing's face was also full of displeasure, and she couldn't help muttering: "This Xicang envoy is so hateful, when he saw the mother emperor, he didn't even kneel." ”
Hearing this, Yue Feng was secretly amused, and his eyes also looked at Wu Yong, secretly pondering in his heart.
This Wu Yong is indeed rude.
But then again, if a messenger can face such a situation and not change his face, this Wu Yong can be regarded as a talent.
Civil and military officials, when you and I asked, Wu Yong did not panic at all, changed the topic, and smiled at the empress: "Your Majesty, our Xicang Emperor specially asked me to bring a gift." to dedicate to Her Majesty the Empress. ”
As he spoke, Wu Yong took out a delicate box from his body.
Swish!
Suddenly, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were firmly on the box in his hand.
"Huh?" At this time, the empress finally spoke, without the slightest fluctuation on her face, and said lightly: "What a gift." ”
Wu Yong smiled slightly and opened the box. Take something out of it.
Wow!
Suddenly, everyone present was stunned.
I saw Wu Yong holding a round jade in his hand, this piece of jade, at first glance, is the best color. I'm afraid that money can't buy this kind of goods!
"It's... This is the best jade! ”
In the court, I don't know who said it, and suddenly, everyone else was also interested.
It is rumored that the Xicang Continent is rich in beautiful jade. But this piece of jade in Wu Yong's hand is white and flawless, and it is really the best of time!
"What a jade! If you can put this piece of jade on a rope and hang it around your neck, it will be so beautiful! ”
"Yes, Her Majesty's face is already overwhelming, if this piece of beautiful jade is used as a pendant, it is simply a beautiful jade with a beauty!"
Hearing the words of the civil and military officials, the empress smiled lightly. Although she is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, what woman does not love beauty? Hearing the praise of the civil and military officials, the empress was also a little happy.
"Her Majesty!"
At this moment, Wu Yong smiled, took a few steps forward, raised the beautiful jade in his hand and said, "This beautiful jade, the name is 'Jiuqu Xuanyu'. It's the treasure that everyone wants in our Xicang Continent! Three years ago, our Xicang Continent was divided, and all forces fought against each other, and they were all proud to grab this piece of jade, but in the end, after the unification of His Majesty the Emperor Xicang, this piece of Jiuqu Xuanyu was in the hands of our Majesty! ”
Hearing this, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone listened with a serious face.
At this time, Wu Yong smiled and continued: "The reason why this piece of beautiful jade is called Jiuqu Xuanyu is because there is a small hole on this piece of jade. This small hole has nine curves and eighteen bends. If you want to hang this piece of jade around your neck, you must use a rope to pass through it. But the hole of this beautiful jade has nine bends and eighteen bends, and the rope can't pass through it at all. So far, no one has been able to hang this piece of jade around his neck. ”
When the words fell, Wu Yong took the jade and displayed it in front of the civil and military officials.
I saw that there was a hole in this piece of beautiful jade. And this hole, instead of being straight, has a full eighteen turns in it.
Wu Yong laughed and said to the empress: "Your Majesty, before you come to the main hall, I want to use a red rope to pass through the Jiuqu Xuanyu, so that Her Majesty can wear it immediately." It's a pity that the rope is too soft to pass through the hole at all. I was stupid by nature, and I couldn't think of a way to pass the red rope through. ”
When the words fell, Wu Yong took out a red rope from his body and said: "I was born stupid and couldn't find a way to wear the rope, but I heard that the Nanyun Continent is rich in land and resources, and there are many talents, and the civil and military officials present are all smart. I think you must have a way to get the rope through. ”
This time, Wu Yong came to visit on behalf of the Xicang Continent, and the Xicang Emperor gave him a task, which was to explore the strength of the Nanyun Continent.
But when he came to the palace, Wu Yong saw that the civil and military officials of the Nanyun Continent were so strong, and he knew in his heart that it would be almost impossible to conquer the Nanyun Continent by force. But this trip can't be in vain, we must make the civil and military officials of the Nanyun Continent make a fool of themselves, and after they go back, they can make a difference to Emperor Xicang.
Wow!
At this moment, the surrounding civil and military officials suddenly erupted into heated discussions.
"This small hole, with eighteen bends, how can the rope pass through?"
"yes, it's impossible!"
At the same time, Yue Feng also frowned secretly, looking at the Jiuqu Xuanyu and the red rope, and became interested.
With a red rope, through the small hole that twists and turns in the jade, ordinary people can't do it at all.
Not to mention ordinary people, even if you die, cultivators are also cautious, and they can't use internal force, because this Jiuqu Xuanyu is very fragile, and if you are not careful, it will shatter.
Nima.
This envoy of the Xicang Continent is clearly giving the civil and military officials of the Nanyun Continent a problem and making them make a fool of themselves.
"I'll try!"
At this moment, Yuan Fei took the first step out, with a confident face: "It's not easy to pass through with a rope?" ”
Wu Yong smiled slightly, and handed over the Jiuqu Xuanyu and the red rope.
After Yuan Fei took it, he began to put it on seriously.
At first, Yuan Fei wanted to use internal force, because under the control of internal force, it was easy to pass the rope through the Jiuqu Xuanyu.
But soon, Yuan Fei discovered that although this nine-song Xuanyu was a rare and strange thing in the world, it was very fragile. Yuan Fei didn't dare to take risks, so he had to give up using internal force.
As a result, a few minutes passed, and Yuan Fei was sweating profusely, and there was no progress at all.
The small hole is crooked, and you can't get through it at all.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Wu Yong's face grew.
Ha ha...
When this Jiuqu Xuanyu first fell into the hands of Emperor Xicang, the people below tried countless times, but they were unsuccessful.
Even if you Nanyun Continent are all strong, aren't they all helpless?
"What's the matter, Yuan Aiqing?" At this time, the empress, who was sitting there, asked softly.
At this time, the empress also saw that Wu Yong offered this Jiuqu Xuanyu because he wanted to make his Manchu Dynasty civil and military affairs ugly.
However, Yuan Fei is the most important minister, strong and talented, he must have a way.
"This..."
Yuan Fei's face turned red, and he was ashamed of his unspeakable embarrassment, and said to the empress: "Your Majesty, minister.. The minister didn't succeed, so the minister tried again.."
When he said this, Yuan Fei sweated finely.
After a while, Yuan Fei never succeeded, so he had to retreat unwillingly.
Immediately, several other ministers also came up and tried it, but the results were unsuccessful.
For a while, the atmosphere of the entire hall was a little subtle and depressing.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, facing a small piece of Jiuqu Xuanyu at this time, were all sad and sad, completely losing the appearance of the ministers of the court, and they were all in a hurry.
The empress also frowned, looked around, and her red lips opened lightly: "What?" Can no one think of a way? ”
The dignified Nanyun Continent is full of talents, and at this time, he was stumped by a piece of jade.
If this matter spreads to other continents, the face of the Nagumo royal family will be gone.
Quiet!
In the main hall, there was silence, and Yuan Fei and the surrounding ministers all lowered their heads and looked ashamed.
