Chapter 360: Leaving the customs and going to the banquet
King Zhao had been waiting for the female king to come out, but after waiting for a few days, there was no movement, and he was worried about sending someone to keep an eye on the Hengxuan military camp.
got a notice that the female king was out of the customs, and King Zhao came non-stop and warmly invited the female king to his army for a banquet, and Shutong thought about it and agreed.
Hengxuan felt that he didn't have a chance to get close to the female king, and he couldn't let King Zhao take advantage of the loophole, so he also followed.
When I came to King Zhao's tent again, I found that there were many more people.
Seeing that King Zhao's four sons were here, Heng Xuan's eyes flickered, and he guessed a little bit of King Zhao's intentions, and sneered in his heart.
Shu Tong's eyes have already fallen on the dishes on the table, where can he take care of King Zhao's thoughts!
"Uncle Zhao, I didn't expect that the banquet had already been set up, so the little nephew would be welcome!"
King Zhao noticed that the female king's eyes had been staring at the food on the table, and when he thought of inquiring about her hobbies, he saved most of his opening remarks.
"Recently, I got a few palace chefs, and I know that the female king loves food, these are their specialties, and I also invite the female king to appreciate his face!"
Let Shutong take the first place, Shutong didn't care about their identities at all, and sat down on his own.
Heng Xuan and Zhao Wang laughed, and the two sat down on her left and right.
In the military tent, there were sumptuous meals on the desks on both sides, and everyone sat down in turn.
King Zhao raised his glass and said politely, "I have long wanted to invite the female king to the banquet, but I didn't expect that the female king has been practicing in retreat, and I only found an opportunity today, the female king must not be polite!" ”
Shutong nodded, raised his wine glass and dried.
King Zhao also wanted to say a few words of greeting, Hengxuan knew Shutong's character, and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang has a heart, then everyone please!" ”
Shutong was the first to pick up the chopsticks and eat, and the generals only felt that the female king was too impatient and didn't know the dining etiquette at all!
thought of her awesomeness, but no one dared to question it.
Hengxuan knows Shutong better, and knows that she loves to eat and can eat, not to mention that she has been closed for ten days, she should have been hungry for a long time!
Seeing that she was in turmoil and eating happily, Heng Xuan motioned to the guards to send a few delicacies on his table to her desk.
King Zhao and the others saw that the female king had eaten a few meals in a very short time, and hurriedly arranged for someone to remove the remnants of the table, and also took the initiative to make up for the untouched dishes on his table.
Seeing that the female king was eating happily, it was estimated that he had no time to take care of him, so King Zhao simply put down his chopsticks, and he didn't eat if he had something in his heart.
Naturally, no one else dared to move, and only the female king was eating alone in the whole big tent.
Shutong did not refuse, the imperial chef's skills were really good, and the delicious food made her feast.
After a full meal and wine, seeing her put down her chopsticks, a maid next to her immediately sent a wet towel to wipe her hands, and served fragrant tea to rinse her mouth.
Removing the remnants of the table and serving refreshments, King Zhao cleared his throat and said, "The female king, before the king had eyes and did not know Mount Tai, mistook the fish eyes for pearls, and found the evil demon way, thanks to the clever means of the female king, the hidden danger of this king was avoided, thank you to the female king for her great grace!" ”
Shu Tong nodded seriously, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”
When King Zhao saw her finish eating, she looked like a smiling girl next door, and his heart was relieved.
He also said: "The female king has saved this king more than once, not only is this king grateful, but several of this king's dogs also admire the female king!" ”
motioned for the four sons to step forward, and the eldest prince led the three younger brothers to stand in front of them in a line.
He bowed down and said: "The battle of Pingcheng, thanks to the help of the female king!" ”
Shu Tong looked at the four young generals with similar appearances, and his eyes fell on the one-armed man at the back.
This person is Heng Yuanba, the fourth son of King Zhao!
At this moment, he stood there with a lonely expression, one arm empty, and he had long since lost his heroic posture!
Shu Tong shook his head secretly, this Heng Yuanba's martial arts are good, and his strength is quite great, but unfortunately he is missing an arm and has become disabled, and his strength is going to be greatly reduced, and it is not interesting for such a person to practice his hands!
King Zhao noticed that her gaze fell on the broken arm of his youngest son, and his heart ached, and he said sincerely, "Female king, this is the fourth son of this king, Heng Yuanba!" ”
"This kid loves to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he is a fierce general on the battlefield, and this king also hopes that he can make meritorious contributions, and he doesn't want to encounter the demon way to cast spells, and my son lost an arm!"
"Female king! This king has a reluctant request, I hope you can agree! ”
Shu Tong said inexplicably: "You want revenge?" The national teacher is dead! ”
King Zhao hurriedly said, "The female king killed the demon Dao and avenged my father and son, this king is very grateful!" But this king wants something else! ”
"This king wants to be cheeky and beg the female king to give him the elixir!"
"Elixir?"
Shu Tong blinked, although he has some cultivation, he doesn't know how to alchemy!
Shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't!" ”
King Zhao was disappointed, "Aren't you the Lord of Qingfeng Guanguan?" There is no elixir for those who have attained the Tao? ”
Shutong secretly thought about the Qingfeng view, one poor and two white, most of the things were destroyed, so he left a book of talismans, where did the elixir come from!
Shaking his head, he said, "Not really!" ”
King Zhao said regretfully: "It's this king who is confused, thinking that immortals will refine pills!" ”
Shu Tong pouted and said, "What do you want the elixir for?" Want to live forever? ”
That's a joke! The national teacher is desperately cultivating, for what!
If there is really any elixir that can live forever if you eat one, then what else do you need to cultivate!
King Zhao smiled bitterly, "This king wants to ask for an elixir that can allow my son to regenerate his severed limbs!" ”
Shu Tong glared in surprise and said, "Your expectations are too high, right?" Sorry, I don't have anything that powerful! ”
noticed that Heng Yuanba's eyes flashed, and quickly dimmed.
Shu Tong rarely relented, and said, "It's just that one arm is missing, after all, there is still a life, I heard that you are superb in martial arts, and you can still go into battle to kill the enemy with one arm!" ”
The corners of Heng Yuanba's mouth moved slightly, he naturally knew, but losing an arm, his skills were greatly reduced, and he was always unconsciously discouraged.
Hengxuan said: "Uncle Wang, you are embarrassed, the female king is powerful, and she is not a true immortal, how can you make people reborn with a broken arm!" ”
King Zhao also knew that he was delusional, and motioned for his son to return to his seat and clear his throat.
Zhengse said: "Virtuous nephew, this king invited you to come today, firstly, to thank the female king, and secondly, I also want to ask you what you are planning?" ”
After waiting for these days, and finally waiting for the female king to come out, Hengxuan was actually a little impatient.
Nodding his head, he said, "Uncle Wang, I do have an idea!" ”
After speaking, he looked at Shu Tong, who was gnawing on dim sum, and said with a smile, "Now that we are facing off from several forces and surrounding the capital, we will have to make a decision sooner or later!" ”
King Zhao stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Yes, there is no point in waiting any longer, what are the plans of the virtuous nephew?" ”
Heng Xuan said, "The female king is the master of Qingfeng Guanguan, and she is also the recognized national teacher of my Great Zhou royal family, since the national teacher has appeared, it is better for everyone to sit down and discuss the most suitable way!" ”
He sighed again: "If there is chaos today, the people are suffering, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil, we can't experience war anymore!" ”
When King Zhao saw that he looked worried about the country and the people, he couldn't help but sneer, what a little fox!
