Chapter 00060 should be done
Through the description of the shopkeeper, I remembered that there was indeed a country called Rong in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
This person has been controversial. Some people say that it has three horns on its head, and some people say that it is a person from Rong who has a human head and three horns on its body.
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, I realized that it was right to have three horns on my head.
Now I still don't want to mention these inconsequential things, I have to think about what if this prince of Rong is elected to Tang Jinghong?
Although I saved the Nine-Tailed Demon King, she also promised me to marry Tang Jinghong. But the grace of saving lives, compared with the misery of the Nine-Tails clan, I can still tell which is more important and which is lighter.
I didn't know what to do for a while, because it was a matter of luck. I can only pray that Prince Rong did not choose Miss Tang.
But last year, Prince Rong chose Miss Tang's sister, Song Zhaoying's whereabouts are still unknown, if Prince Rong is still obsessed with last year's events, what if Miss Tang replaces Song Zhaoying?
"Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu, what do you want?" The cow touched me.
I shook my head back to him, "It's nothing, you say...... Will the prince of Rong choose Miss Tang? ”
"One percent probability, right? Aren't there ten princesses? ”
"If you say it, you don't say it, let's go to the palace and have a look."
"On such an important day, can we go in?"
"Give it a try."
Niu Meng and I were just about to get up and leave, and the shopkeeper told us to wait for a while, and then ran back and got a token out. It is said that this token was given by the emperor himself, and as long as he holds it, no matter what happens, he can be allowed to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
I didn't think much about it, I took the token and walked away with Niu Meng.
And I suspect that the shopkeeper deliberately told me the news, and then deliberately gave me the token. Or is this what Tang Jinghong means?
Before going to the palace, I plan to put together a weapon that I have at hand, and if a fight breaks out later, I can't do it empty-handed.
Niu Meng forget it, he is a mortal, how can he beat the demon clan, something really happened after a while, let him hide.
So I took Niu Meng all the way to ask for the location of the armory shop, and went in to buy two swords. Originally, I only planned to buy a handful, but Niu Meng had to ask for it, so I had to buy more.
He also theorized with me, saying that monsters are so difficult to fight, and they are no different from ordinary people fighting, and there is a way that no matter how high your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives, isn't it?
I don't know what to say, this is the demon world, and the strength of monsters is not limited. Unlike in the human world, the strength of youkai is limited a lot.
I didn't bother to reason with Niu Meng, knowing that he also had good intentions to help me.
On the way to the palace, I heard many people talking about this marriage. However, the most discussed thing is not this year's marriage, but last year's marriage.
Last year, the prince of the Rong clan chose Song Zhaoying, but in the end it was unsuccessful, no one knew what happened, and the shopkeeper did not know.
The people have all kinds of speculations, some people say that Song Zhaoying is unwilling, fell out with the Nine-Tailed Demon King, and left the demon world, so he has not returned yet.
Some people also said that a mysterious person came and also wanted to marry Song Zhaoying, so he fought with the people of Rong Guo and won the battle.
What's more, it was said that the prince of Rong wanted to marry several at the same time, but the nine-tailed demon king did not agree.
I don't know who said it was true.
When I was about to arrive at the palace, Niu Meng suddenly asked me, "Brother Jiu, I suddenly remembered, didn't Brother Nan Ya propose marriage to Song Zhaoying?" ”
As soon as he said that, I remembered this incident.
"Nan Ya should have nothing to do with this matter, it was said that Nan Ya proposed to the Nine-Tailed Demon King, and the Nine-Tailed Demon King made a condition. It means that this matter is in the past. And let's take a step back and think about it, even if Nan Yati is in front of him, as long as he explains the situation to Prince Rong, he should be able to understand, he is a prince anyway, and he will not do such a thing as buying and selling, right? ”
Niu Meng snorted and said, "Hey, there are more scum people." I guess that the prince of Rong was beaten away by Brother Nan Ya, after all, he is so powerful. ”
"It's good to see him when I go back and ask if it's okay, let's not guess, if it really makes trouble later, you can hide, or I'll be distracted to take care of you."
"What are you afraid of, I will definitely not pull you back." Niu Meng looked confident.
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly.
The two of us arrived at the palace gate, and I showed the token to the guards. This token is red and has a "nine" character engraved on it with a small seal.
The guard took the token, saluted me very respectfully, and said that he would take me to the emperor himself.
It seems that this token is indeed not simple, and if I guess correctly, this token should be a special token that only princesses have.
The guards took me and Niu Meng all the way to the handover, and finally took the two of us directly to the gate of the Jinluan Palace.
The female guard at the door took the token and hurriedly ran in, shouting as she ran, "Nine-tailed Holy Spirit ......"
Then Niu Meng and I were announced.
The emperor sat at the top, and the nine princesses, including Qin Yuetong, and the palace ministers sat on the left and right sides, looking like they were setting up a banquet.
However, the emperor seemed to be very unhappy, she looked at the token, and asked me a little angrily, "Who gave you this token?" ”
Of course, I can't say that the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building gave it to me, so I just said that I picked it up myself.
"Nonsense!" The emperor was even more angry.
But she didn't have a seizure, but asked people to give us two seats.
The palace maids moved two low stools and let me and Niu Meng sit in the last row on the right.
At the table with us was an old-looking-old man, probably the oldest man I had ever seen in my life. There is neither a fairy wind bone, nor a spirit, but a picture that looks like he is going to ride a crane to the west at any time.
I nodded at him, and he nodded at me.
Next, the emperor began to talk about some things last year, which is a bit of a summary of the past and looking forward to the future. also mentioned the matter of Song Zhaoying, saying that he would continue to look for Song Zhaoying.
He also said that the holy relics of the nine-tailed clan were lost, and it was announced to the world that if anyone found the five-element colored cup and returned it, there would be a reward.
It reminds me of the dream I had before I woke up, where the old man with the white beard wrote on a piece of paper, "Tiangang compass, change your life against the sky." The Five Elements Color Cup......" is gone, but there should be another sentence.
Since the Five Elements Colored Cup is a sacred relic of the Nine-Tails Clan, why is the Tiangang Compass not?
Is there any connection between these two things?
The princess and the ministers also said something similar to the year-end summary, and Yao said a lot. But most of them are human affairs, and I can probably hear from her words that the Nine-Tails clan sent people to the human world for a purpose, not just to play in the human world.
Others also said more important things, such as where there was a drought, where there was a flood, where there was a rebellion.
This makes me feel that the demon world is actually no different from the human world.
After almost a stick of incense, the guard suddenly came in and announced, "The prince of Rong has arrived." ”
"Welcome." The emperor waved his hand and said.
I thought that the emperor was going to take everyone out to greet him personally, but it turned out that a group of palace maids went out, and it seemed that this prince of Rong was not very respected. It may also have something to do with last year's incident, after all, it was a falling out, and who would give you face.
The palace ladies soon welcomed the prince of Rong in.
The prince of Rong was wearing a silver armor, a black cloak on his shoulders, and a weapon similar to Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and he didn't know what they called this weapon.
It looks majestic and dignified. It would look even more handsome if it weren't for the three horns on the forehead that look like rhinoceros.
Being able to enter the Jinluan Hall with weapons is enough to explain his status.
The prince of Rong was accompanied by ten guards, as well as two plainly dressed people, a man and a woman, who looked like personal attendants.
They have three horns on their foreheads.
"Give a seat." The emperor named it again.
The palace ladies set up tables and chairs in front of the prince of Rong, but only three tables were placed, one for the prince of Rong, and one for each of the men and women.
The other ten guards did not sit down, but stood at the door, and took the weapons of the prince of Rong.
Then the old man beside me spoke.
He touched me with a smile on his face, "It's the first time I've seen someone from Rongguo?" ”
I nodded.
"The person in the middle is the prince of Rong, called Tai Dixiong, the one on the left is the male national teacher, called Taiyang, and the one on the right is the female national teacher, called Taiyue.
They came to marry, but our Nine-Tails clan did not suffer a loss, a princess, in exchange for their 100,000 spirit oxen, 100,000 spirit sheep, and 100,000 spirit trees. The Rong country is rich in products but sparsely populated, do you know why they don't marry other countries? ”
"Please make it clear to your seniors."
"The Rong people have a very poor ability to reproduce, and the people of their own tribe intermarry with each other, and nine times out of ten they will not be able to conceive. But marrying with the Nine-Tails clan can give birth to offspring with excellent bloodlines.
As for the other Lou countries, the Rong people did not try, and they all failed. Therefore, the alliance between the Rong State and our Qiong State can be formed for hundreds of years. ”
I nodded, and it dawned on me, "I see." ”
"Nan Gongzi is here for His Royal Highness Jinghong, right?"
"How did the seniors know?"
"From the moment Nan Gongzi came in, I found that most of Nan Gongzi's eyes were on His Royal Highness Jinghong."
"Let the seniors laugh, haven't you asked the seniors for their names?"
The old man shook his head with a smile, "In the words of you human beings, I am a man of the mountains and villages, a generation of idle clouds and wild cranes, and my name and surname are not enough. If the ninth prince is willing, he can call me an old man. ”
"The younger generation has seen the predecessors of creation, and there have been many rudes before, and they have gone to the predecessors Haihan." I hurriedly bowed to him.
The old man shook his head, "This is not the world, so you don't need to pay attention to those red tapes. The old man wanted to know, if Tedicon had to take His Royal Highness Jinghong away today, what should the Ninth Prince do? ”
