Chapter 32 The Son-in-law of Western Zhao 3
Bai Jinyu and Wu Mu looked at each other, and the speaker was Li Zhengmin, the favorite minister of Kim Bongyeol, the prince of Liguo.
This person is pampered and arrogant, and in the past few days, he has made many sensational remarks, and Bai Jinyu has long been surprised.
He shouted in his voice, and sure enough, the whole audience stopped, and they all focused their eyes on Umu.
Umu was named inexplicably, and he was still asking about this deliberately ridiculous topic, so he was naturally in a very affected mood.
His face did not change, but the fingers hanging down his side curled up, and he didn't answer Li Zhengmin's words, but asked, "Master Li asked so abruptly, I don't know what this means?" ”
Li Zhengmin said slyly: "I don't have any intentions, I'm just curious if Prince Umu will dance a navel dance for Princess Yuhe!" ”
After he said this, the crowd immediately burst into snickering, just because the three words "navel dance" are so picturesque, they can make people open their imagination at once. Li Zhengmin pursed his lips and smiled with everyone, and he could see that this was the effect he wanted.
Umu's fingers gradually clenched into fists, and Kyona dagged Lee Jung-min fiercely. At present, the monarch of Western Zhao is a rather boring and tricky question to ask.
If you don't respond, you will appear to be avoiding the topic, and you will respond...... Well, the name navel sounds pretty funny.
"Master Li, there is also something very curious about here."
When Bai Jinyu's voice sounded, Umu and Qingna were very stunned. Just because they didn't have time to refute it, Bai Jinyu had already spoken before them.
Wu Mu smiled knowingly, looked at Bai Jinyu with his sleeves caged and leaned against a pear tree, and looked at Li Zhengmin with a smile.
Unlike joking with Umu, Li Zhengmin's eyes squeezed Bai Jinyu up and down smartly, and asked with some trepidation: "What are you curious about?" ”
"Oh," Bai Jinyu smiled and put his hand behind his back, and said leisurely: "I also heard that you are competing with others, and the losing side will shout three times to the opponent to be ashamed, and when you see the other party in the future, you will have to bow to a special gift first, I don't know ......."
"I don't know if I'm waiting for today," Wumu smiled and glanced at Bai Jinyu, cutting off her words and said, "Can you see such a courtesy." ”
Bai Jinyu understood that Umu had offended Jin Fengyeol for her, in view of the disparity between Bai Jinyu and Jin Fengyeol's identities, it was natural that Umu was more fearless when he spoke out.
Bai Jinyu thanked him, and said in his heart that he didn't look away, Wumu was indeed a delicate person with a careful heart.
Li Zhengmin, who got carried away, was choked by the two of them singing and harmonizing, his face immediately turned red and black for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Seeing this, Kim Bongyeol stopped him behind him and narrowed his slender eyes towards Bai Jinyu.
"I will!"
Umu stepped forward as usual and said to Lee Jung-min and Kim Bong-yeol, "You don't know, in Duoyue, people believe that the gods will bless the gods when they dance this dance to their loved ones, so unless they are facing the people who are sincere in their hearts, they cannot dance this dance, otherwise they will deceive the gods and will suffer retribution. ”
"So, there are a lot of men who have never danced this dance in our lives, if I have the opportunity to dance, it means that I have met someone I like, I am too late to be happy, what is it to dance. That's right...... It's not called a crop top dance, it's called 'Lingxuan'. ”
Umuang stood upright, and said word by word earnestly and clearly, sweeping away the idleness and slackness of the previous few days, as if he had changed a person in an instant. Seeing Ah Di like this, Qing Na's hanging expression also relaxed, and the corners of her mouth curled in relief.
"Very good, very good, this kind of saber-rattling is the atmosphere that should be there today. You descendants must do your best, don't retain your strength, and don't leave great opportunities to others! Chu Li, the dignified monarch of the Western Zhao Kingdom, crossed his hands on his hips, and excitedly stood on a big stone and paced around, as if he was waiting to watch a lively scene.
After hearing Chu Li's words, everyone remained silent, and even avoided making any eye contact with him.
After waiting for a cup of tea, this final election finally got to the point.
Chu Li did not disappoint everyone, he really did not play his cards according to common sense, and the candidates for his questions guessed for a long time just by guessing.
This time, he handed out a painting to the six candidates, an extremely simple drawing, sketched in black ink on white paper.
"What the hell is this?" Umu directly disliked it.
Other voices could be heard from the crowd as well.
"Is this a longevity lock?"
"Isn't it, can there be such a rough longevity lock?"
"Is that a lotus?"
"Where have you seen such an ugly lotus?"
"Is this a human drawing?"
"I don't think so."
……
Facing everyone's doubts, Chu Li on the big stone was even more excited, and he raised his voice and said: "In the previous rounds of competition, this king already knows that you are all handsome men with good literary and martial arts skills. But to become a family, the most important thing is to be able to communicate with each other. Therefore, today's competition is to ask you to help the king find the treasure on this painting in this mountain, and whoever finds it first will be the king's quick son-in-law. This king is waiting here for good news, and I hope you can succeed as soon as possible! ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
After a while, Wumu arched Bai Jinyu and said, "What should I do Brother Wen, I really want to quit." ”
Bai Jinyu was looking at the scroll in his hand attentively, not paying attention to Umu's words. Umu turned his head to look at her expression and asked, "Brother Wen, don't you already have a clue?" ”
Bai Jinyu didn't speak, raised his eyes and took a deep look at Feng Chen opposite. And it just so happened that Feng Chen was also looking at her.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Bai Jinyu suddenly raised his hand and shouted to Chu Li: "Monarch, the small people have objections!" ”
Hearing this, Chu Li, who was in the midst of excitement, immediately stopped, he looked at Bai Jinyu and asked happily, "Gongzi Wen, do you have any objections?" ”
Chu Li is a person who likes novelty, Bai Jinyu has brought him a lot of fresh excitement these days, and now he attaches great importance to any speech made by Bai Jinyu.
Bai Jinyu came out of the crowd, slowly pointed around with his hand and said, "Each of them has brought so many people to help, Xiaomin, I am alone to compete with them, this is too unfair." ”
"Brother Wen," Umu gave her a look and said in a low voice, "My people can lend it to you." ”
"Mine can be lent to you too!" Sima Xuan also followed suit, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was disgusted by the courtiers around him.
Bai Jinyu shook his head slightly, and continued to look at Chu Li with a look of grievance and help.
At this time, a person walked out from behind Chu Li, this person was eight feet tall, about forty years old, with a square face and broad ears, and the standard appearance of a virtuous minister and good look, it was Ling Wei, the prime minister of Western Zhao.
This person presided over the first three competitions to choose a son-in-law, and of course he is in charge today.
Ling Wei and Chu Li whispered for a while, then turned to bow down and said to everyone: "The monarch has announced that the six guests can only carry one attendant up the mountain. ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Chu Li glanced at Ling Wei and nodded excitedly in agreement.
"Why did you inform us that we could bring people with us at will?" Someone asked a question on the spot.
"Can you do it alone? What if something happens on this mountain? ”
"Yes, this is our crown prince!"
Ling Wei waved his hand and said comfortingly: "The scenery here is beautiful, and I have never heard of any danger, so you can be relieved." Tell the truth and let each family send people at will, which is also one of the king's considerations for you, and it is actually not needed. Now that Wen Gongzi has objections, each family can bring one person. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately looked different.
Bai Jinyu and Wu Mu glanced at each other, the implication of this Lingwei is that the monarch agrees that you will bring someone to help, just to see your consciousness, whoever brings less means who is more confident, and vice versa.
Not to mention, this Chu Li's trick is really good, and the inner world of the princes has been spread out on the table for him.
If you judge by this ruler, looking at the whole audience, the most confident one must be Bai Jinyu, and the second is Fengchen's turn.
At this time, Chu Li preached to everyone: "Yes, yes, that's what this king meant, the six descendants quickly choose a candidate to take with you." Wen Gongzi, since you are friendly with Prince Wumu, let him lend you a guard!" ”
It was learned that there was a commotion among the crowd, and most of them were dissatisfied with the change of course in the Western Zhao Dynasty.
But after a few days ago, everyone understood that Chu Li's rules were no rules, not to mention that he was marrying someone else's daughter, so despite the inner resistance, the six candidates quickly picked a candidate.
Feng Chen's side chose Xie Yao without any suspense, and Wu Mu borrowed a name for Bai Jinyu, and he himself could only let her follow because he couldn't beat Qing Na.
Sima Xuan brought a deputy general, and Li Yuan, the son of Gao Huguo, brought a capable young man.
Kim Bongyeol, the crown prince of Liguo, is the most special, he did not choose a strong martial arts guard, but chose his favorite minister Li Zhengmin, who loves to play tricks.
"Wen Gongzi is satisfied now, right?" It was Li Yuan who made a sarcastic remark, and he shook his sleeves and glanced at Bai Jinyu directly.
It's no wonder that this competition originally counted the largest number of people and the most well-equipped people he brought, but Bai Jinyu's words made his hard work go to waste, and he didn't annoy Bai Jinyu with anyone.
Bai Jinyu nodded, but immediately shook her head like a wave drum.
Chu said strangely: "What? Wen Gongzi still has objections? ”
Bai Jinyu said: "Yes, when we go up the mountain in a while, the attendants of each family will definitely be unable to help their masters, and in the end, it is difficult to see if it is purely the ability of the six of us?" ”
Chu Li said: "It doesn't matter, this king allowed you to bring attendants in this competition just to see your skills in employing people." ”
Bai Jinyu saw that Chu Li didn't take the bait, and then said: "The monarch is wise, but this is still too simple, it's not a big deal to be good at using people you are familiar with, and Xiaomin still has a way to play ......."
As expected, Chu Li immediately couldn't wait to ask: "What kind of play, you can say it quickly!" ”
Everyone's expressions were tight, Bai Jinyu's flower intestines had been taught several times, and they felt that if this idea came out of her mouth, it would not be a good thing.
Sure enough, I only heard Bai Jinyu say: "The monarch has just measured the grass people and asked each family to bring only one attendant, and the small people thank you here." But in order to test the skills of employing people, or to avoid suspicion, I have an idea...... It's better for each family to exchange guards with each other, and we all use people we don't know well, so wouldn't it be more challenging and fun, what do you think, monarch? ”
After Bai Jinyu finished speaking, the air around him froze, and the guards of each family finally endured it to the limit, and they all held the blades in their hands with a clattering sound, eager for each of them to poke a hole in Bai Jinyu first.
"Play?!" Jin Fengyeol, who had been silent, finally couldn't help it anymore and asked Bai Jinyu, "Does Gongzi Wen think this is playing?" ”
On the contrary, Chu Li came to the spirit, and praised endlessly: "Wen Gongzi is really a genius!" Why didn't this king think that this would indeed be more interesting. ”
Bai Jinyu humbly bowed his hand and humbly said, "Just ask the monarch to appoint it for us!" ”
Chu Li nodded very seriously, although he was very serious, his appearance still looked very funny.
He swept the crowd left and right one by one, pondered for a moment, and said with his elbows on his elbow: "In this way, Prince Wumu and Prince Jin Fenglie will be exchanged, Prince Sima and Prince Li Yuan will be exchanged, and His Royal Highness Fengchen will be exchanged with Prince Wen." ”
When Bai Jinyu heard this, Chu Li's arrangement was really attentive, and he almost deliberately let several pairs of enemies exchange with each other.
Wumu has long been unhappy with Jin Fenglie, Sima Xuan and Li Yuan are natural mortal enemies because of the unfinished war between the two countries, and Bai Jinyu and Fengchen are even more classics that need not be said! Although they were both from the Zheng Dynasty, with the unremitting efforts of Bai Jinyu's side, they had long been regarded as two factions.
After listening to Chu Li's arrangement, Feng Chen glanced at Xie Yao deliberately, only to see Xie Yao glaring at Bai Jinyu angrily, and a knife almost flew out of his eyes.
Feng Chen raised his chin slightly towards Bai Jinyu, Xie Yao hesitated for a long time, as if he had pressed a hundred reluctances, and walked behind Bai Jinyu.
Seeing that all the families had adjusted and exchanged the candidates for the escort, Bai Jinyu rolled up the ghost drawing talisman issued by Chu Li, inserted it casually on his waist, and slowly led Xie Yao into the mountain gate.
