Chapter 296: Leaving the Branch 8
Bai Jinyu is a woman, her voice is pleasant, but she is not inferior.
The spectators stopped talking, Orion and the Taoist priest felt offended, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household looked confused, and in short, all kinds of people looked at her.
In fact, as soon as the words came out, Bai Jinyu herself "tsk" first, obviously one moment she was still thinking that she must not be involved in the affairs of the royal family, why couldn't she help jumping out the next moment?
She was honest and a little regretful, but the words she said were like water spilled, and she couldn't turn back.
When it is autumn, women like to cover their faces with a veil when they go out, which is also a chic decoration while shielding the wind and dust. Under the cover of white yarn, Bai Jinyu comforted herself, she was dressed ordinarily today, and there were no half acquaintances here, so she could pretend that she was not Bai Jinyu.
"The appearance of the unicorn is an auspicious omen, what does this girl say? Do you want to drive away this auspicious omen? The Orion stared at Bai Jinyu obliquely, and there was an aggressiveness in his rhetorical question.
Bai Jinyu put his hands behind his back, shook his head funny, and asked everyone unhurriedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little girl has a question, may I ask if any of you have seen a unicorn before?" ”
When the words fell, those present looked at me, I looked at you, and shook their heads after looking at each other.
Bai Jinyu nodded expectedly, and said, "Since everyone has never seen a qilin before, how can you be sure that this thing in front of you is a qilin?" She paused, glanced at the Orion with a pair of eyes, and said, "Everyone calls it a living unicorn now, and they must have listened to his family!" ”
"But this beast really looks like a unicorn in a painting!" Someone in the crowd muttered that.
Bai Jinyu said: "Is it very similar?" Not necessarily. Although the size and armor of this thing are somewhat similar to the unicorn in the calligraphy and painting, as far as I know, the unicorn is a lion's head and antlers, and this thing is obviously still a cow's head and horns, so it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a unicorn! ”
Bai Jinyu analyzed it like this, and the spectators behind it began to have different opinions.
When Orion heard Bai Jinyu's words, his face was extremely unsightly, and he argued unconvinced: "The paintings depicting divine beasts are often exaggerated, and they cannot be used as a reference. But even so, it is seven or eight points like a picture scroll! This mythical beast is rare in my hometown Penglai Mountain, since ancient times it has been called a unicorn, in the next fortunate to catch one, just want to give it to His Majesty the Emperor, present this auspicious. ”
Bai Jinyu looked like she had been generalized, and she nodded: "Okay, I just mentioned it in passing." Closer to home, you're sure you haven't seen a Kirin before, right? ”
Except for the Orion and Daoist Mu Ran, everyone else said yes.
Bai Jinyu was quite satisfied: "Since no one has seen it, it means that no one can tell whether this 'living qilin' is real or fake!" ”
Listening to her confident speech, one of the several officials walked out and humbly saluted Bai Jinyu and said, "The girl just said that she would let Orion bring this thing back, what is the reason, and ask the girl to give advice." ”
"The adults have tormented the people's daughters, how dare they say the word 'teaching'."
Bai Jinyu turned her head and stared at the "living unicorn" for a while, and then said eloquently: "The little woman just thinks that if this 'unicorn' is real, it was also forcibly captured, and it did not appear in Chang'an, so it is not an auspicious omen; Thinking horizontally and vertically, the little woman felt that it was better to let this Orion take this divine beast away. ”
As soon as Bai Jinyu explained this, the spectators immediately opened their mouths and exchanged their mouths.
The official praised: "The girl is indeed reasonable. ”
The Orion was anxious, and immediately raised his voice: "The appearance of this divine beast in the world is already an auspicious omen, as long as it is in the territory of my Great Sign, it should be regarded as a good omen wherever it is!" ”
As soon as Orion said this, some people in the crowd began to waver, thinking that Orion also had a way to say.
Bai Jinyu was slightly stunned, but she didn't panic, raised her head and asked the slender Taoist priest: "Does the Taoist chief also think that the appearance of this 'living unicorn' is because there is a virtuous prince who wants to enter Chang'an?" ”
The statue was poked in the death hole, and I was shocked! I never thought that the woman in front of me was so powerful, and she threw this question directly at him.
If the answer is yes, it exposes that the whole "living unicorn" thing is a conspiracy directed and acted by them.
If the answer is no, all efforts will be in vain, and it will run counter to the original purpose of the plan.
In front of the West City Gate, there was a sudden silence, waiting for this Taoist priest to answer.
The Taoist priest seemed to have been forced into a corner, his face was white and blue, and the blue was black, and he twitched for a moment before he swallowed and said: "This, how can this be said to be a poor Dao 'to say' Yunyun, this ...... Obviously they just said it to the 'Living Kirin'! ”
Bai Jinyu didn't give in at a step: "But didn't the Taoist chief say first, 'The nobleman is here, and the unicorn enters'?" ”
Taoist priest: "......"
Bai Jinyu smiled and handed him the steps: "Since the Dao Leader has no intention of doing so, it's great, otherwise I'm really worried that the Dao Chief will be killed!" ”
The Taoist priest immediately glanced at Orion, and when he turned his head, he looked a little panicked, and asked hesitantly, "What, what kind of murder?" “
Bai Jinyu tilted his head slightly, pointed at the "living unicorn" with one finger, and said slowly: "Dao Chief, do you know that unicorns are also male and female?" ”
When the Taoist heard this, his eyes immediately opened, and he seemed to have guessed what Bai Jinyu was about to say.
Just thinking about it, Bai Jinyu had already said: "The male is called Qi, and the female is Lin, let's see, this divine beast is the first female...... If this thing really has any meaning, then from this point of view, it should not be said that the person who entered the capital is a prince, but it should be said that it is a noble lady! ”
Bai Jinyu looked at the cold sweat on the hunter's head, and was deliberately taken aback: "Ah! The woman steals power and messes with the government, but it is a disaster for Si Chen...... This, where is this divine beast, it's simply a disaster star! ”
Bai Jinyu's words immediately caused an uproar among the people, and immediately turned the crowd who originally admired the "living unicorn" into a crowd of condemnation.
At this moment, the faces of the hunters and Taoist priests are almost collapsed to the point that they can't hang their flesh!
"Someone!" The official headed by the Ministry of Rites suddenly came to his senses, waved his hand and called a few soldiers, and ordered sharply: "Immediately blast this monster away along with this hunter without delay!" The guards of the city gate must be strictly controlled, and they must not be allowed to step into Chang'an City for half a step. ”
The official turned his head and glanced at the Taoist priest: "Don't get out of here!" ”
After shouting in this voice, he turned around and wanted to thank Bai Jinyu, however, he looked left and right, and he could no longer find Bai Jinyu's figure.
