Chapter 249: A Sharp Arrow Shot at the Eyebrows
"Zhong Aiqing, in this way, why don't we put aside the controversy about this disaster relief first, and let the mourning family perform a few tricks for everyone to relax? Your Majesty won't object, will you? Yanyu smiled and said very seriously.
"This ...... Well, everything is up to the Queen Mother's will. Jun Wuregret hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
Although he didn't know what the Empress Dowager meant in his heart, he couldn't understand that at this critical moment of the major court affairs discussion that was related to the life and death of the people, the Empress Dowager was still in the mood to perform tricks.
However, out of respect for the Empress Dowager, he still agreed.
"The ministers have no objections, everything is according to the queen mother's wishes." Seeing that His Majesty agreed, all the ministers had no choice but to agree in unison.
"Good! Since everyone has no objections, the mourning family will be ugly. However, before performing this trick, the mourning family needs a general, a bottle of poison, and a dying person, I wonder if Zhong Aiqing can meet the requirements of the mourning family? Yanyu said with satisfaction.
"This ...... Dare to ask the Empress Dowager if she has any special requirements for these three things? After listening to Yanyu's words, all the ministers looked at each other and were silent for a while, and they all looked at Your Majesty, and Your Majesty looked at Prime Minister Nangong Mo, and finally Nangong Mo mustered up the courage to ask.
"This general, there are 100 steps to pierce Yang's archery, as for this poison, it is the most poisonous poison in the Liansheng Kingdom, and the person who is about to die can bring the patient who is currently unable to be treated by the imperial doctor." Yanyu still said in a relaxed tone.
"This ...... The generals are easy to find, but this is the most poisonous poison and the person who is about to die is afraid ......" Nangong Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied embarrassedly.
"Hehe, Lord Nangong is worried that the poison will hurt the mourning family, right? You can rest assured, the mourning family is just a trick, and it is not suicide, you don't need to be nervous. As for the person who is about to die, I'm afraid you think that everyone is dying, and you still carry it to the main hall, which is a bit of a teasing of people, don't you think it's appropriate? If the mourning family said that the mourning family not only teased him, but saved his life, would you still think there was a problem? Yanyu said with a faint smile.
"What! Empress Dowager, are you saying that you can let the dying continue to live? That Weichen's sister has never been able to wake up since the end of the fifteenth year of ice, and her breath is weak all day long, and she is weak and dead, and all the imperial doctors are helpless, saying that she was severely injured before the ice, and if she hadn't been frozen before she died, she would have been dead a long time ago. Wechen also offered a lot of money to reward the folk masters to come for treatment, but they all returned in vain. At present, it has been determined by the imperial doctor that even if he continues to be placed on a thousand-year-old ice bed and fed with thousand-year-old ginseng every day, it will be ...... for a maximum of ten days It's going to be completely dead, I wonder if I can bring it to try? Nangong Mo shouted, and then excitedly mentioned his sister, looking at the goddess Empress Dowager with the last ray of hope, hoping to get the answer he wanted.
"If you can send the most poisonous poison to the mourning family within a quarter of an hour, so that the mourning family can perform the trick smoothly, then how about the mourning family help you save your sister?" Yanyu replied unhurriedly.
"Wechen obeys! It is guaranteed that the most poisonous poison of the Lotus Kingdom will be delivered to the Empress Dowager within a quarter of an hour, and the courtiers can also be delivered in half an hour at most. I don't know if it's possible? Nangong Mo said happily.
"Good! Then hurry up and prepare. Yanyu said cheerfully.
Then Nangong Mo left in a hurry, and from the somewhat flustered footsteps when he left, he could feel how excited Nangong Mo was at this moment.
"While Lord Nangong is preparing poison and dying people, the mourning family will perform the first trick first. There are many generals in this hall, I don't know which general is willing to come to cooperate with this trick of the mourning family? After seeing Nangong leave, Yanyu glanced at the main hall and looked at the generals among the ministers of civil and military affairs and asked.
Among them, the general standing at the front, Yanyu was also very excited when he saw it, although it was the first time they met, Yanyu still recognized it at a glance.
Because this general is none other than Yuan Feng, the only general of the Liansheng Kingdom.
Yanyu knew that this general was his grandfather, and his mother-in-law Yuan Xunshuang should also be in the General's Mansion at this moment.
It's just that Yanyu can clearly feel that the general Yuan Feng in front of him is a little sad, and he seems to be a little distracted, presumably still sad about his disappearance on death row.
It's a pity that Yanyu couldn't come forward to recognize each other and tell his grandfather that he was actually alive.
She can imagine that at this moment, her mother is probably also washing her face with tears all day long, so she also secretly decided to find a suitable opportunity as soon as possible to meet her mother in secret and explain all the truth, so as not to grieve all day long, then her daughter is really too unfilial.
After hearing the question of the Empress Dowager, those generals all looked at the general Yuan Feng who was standing at the front, after all, the general did not speak, and none of them dared to answer the Empress Dowager's question.
And Yanyu was also a little guilty and distracted when he saw the general, so the hall fell into a cold scene for a while.
When the other ministers saw that the general Yuan Feng was a little absent-mindedly in deep thought, they were secretly anxious for him, worried that he would snub the Empress Dowager so much, even if the Empress Dowager didn't mind, His Majesty would be unhappy.
So there was a minister not far from Yuan Feng who deliberately coughed a few times, and finally woke up Yuan Feng, when he raised his head and saw the goddess Empress Dowager staring at him, he suddenly remembered that the Empress Dowager had said before that she wanted to find a general with good archery skills to cooperate with her to perform a trick, so he guessed that it must be the Empress Dowager asking him.
When he heard Prime Minister Nangong Mo mention that his sister was about to die, it caused him to think that his granddaughter Yanyu was coming, so he was distracted.
"The last general Yuan Feng visited the Queen Mother, I don't know how the Queen Mother needs the Queen Mother to cooperate with the Queen Mother's tricks?" After Yuan Feng came to his senses, he hurriedly asked apologetically.
"General Yuan, it's very simple to cooperate with my trick, that is, just stand there and shoot an arrow at the center of my eyebrows." Yanyu said in a tone as if he was talking about a very trivial matter.
"The last general will not dare! Please also ask the Queen Mother to take back her fate! When Yuan Feng heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and respectfully persuaded him.
And His Majesty Jun Wuregret and the other ministers also changed their faces when they heard Yanyu's request, and they all felt that this was too ridiculous, and they actually let the important ministers of the court shoot the noble Empress Dowager in public!
"Queen Mother, this can't be helped, right? In case ......" Jun Wuregret also hurriedly persuaded him, and he couldn't go on when it came to it.
"The ministers implore the Empress Dowager to think twice!" After His Majesty spoke, except for one minister, the other ministers also knelt on the ground and asked Yanyu to take back his fate.
When he saw His Majesty and the ministers frightened like this, Yanyu was also a little helpless and disappointed, but when he saw that there was another general who did not kneel down and begged her to take back her fate, his eyes lit up again.
When she saw clearly that this general was Lin Hai, the commander of the Royal Mausoleum, Yanyu knew that the other party must have dared to cooperate with her tricks, because when she was in the Royal Mausoleum before, Yanyu was in front of him and those soldiers of the Royal Forest, and she turned into a goddess and the Empress Dowager floating in the air, and then disappeared out of thin air.
So he must have thought that Yanyu was sure to dodge the arrows before he proposed to play this trick.
Sure enough, the general did not disappoint Yanyu, and in Yanyu's encouraging eyes, he said loudly: "The Empress Dowager, the last general Lin Hai is willing to give it a try and cooperate with the Empress Dowager's tricks." ”
"Bold Linhai! Don't quit yet! His Majesty Jun Wuxian pointed at Lin Hai with some annoyance and scolded.
"Your Majesty, the last general has seen the magical spells of the Empress Dowager in the royal mausoleum with his own eyes, and fully believes in the ability of the Empress Dowager, so the last general will swear by the Venerable Master that if there is any mistake, the last general is willing to suffer the death penalty of exterminating the nine clans! Your Majesty, please! Lin Hai bent down and pleaded respectfully.
The reason why Lin Hai dared to swear such a poisonous oath was that he originally suspected that this goddess Empress Dowager was a fake of Yanyu, and Yanyu herself was the inheritor of the Lotus Immortal Tomb, so it was definitely not something that ordinary mortals could shoot with arrows.
Second, Lin Hai is actually the prince of the black-tailed leafhopper country, Ling Fox is fake, not the real Lin Hai, even if he really destroys the nine clans, it has nothing to do with him, and even if this goddess and empress dowager are really shot by him, it is a big deal for him to turn back into a black-tailed leafhopper, and he still has the ability to retreat.
Therefore, he is willing to gamble, once the bet is successful, then he can be more reused in the eyes of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, which will be of great benefit to his final plan.
Although this bet is too reckless and extremely risky, since ancient times, it has been said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, which is exactly the truth.
"You ......" Jun Wuregret heard Lin Hai swear poisonously, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Your Majesty, are you so unconfident in the mourning family? How could the mourners be resurrected thousands of years after their death, and how could they be killed by an ordinary arrow? Could it be said that the goddess is an ordinary woman in the eyes of His Majesty? Yanyu pretended to be displeased and said.
"This ...... Grandchildren don't dare! Then everything will be done according to the will of the Queen Mother. Get up, I have made up my mind, I don't need to persuade Aiqing anymore, I will bear all the consequences. Jun Wuregret heard what the goddess and the queen mother said, so he had to compromise.
"The ministers obey." All the ministers said in unison, and then everyone stood up, including Lin Hai.
It was only when Lin Hai stood up that he saw His Majesty Jun look at him meaninglessly, obviously warning him silently that if there was a mistake, he would not be spared.
And Lin Hai glanced at His Majesty firmly and signaled His Majesty to be relieved.
Then he waved his hand, and a nearby soldier of the Royal Forest Army respectfully held a pair of bows and arrows in front of him, Lin Hai picked up the bow and arrows, put the arrow on Xuan, and slowly pulled the bow and arrow.
And the Empress Dowager, who was originally sitting on the throne, was still sitting there with a smile on her face, calmly facing Lin Hai's sharp arrow that had been aimed at her eyebrows, nodding slightly, signaling that he could shoot the arrow in his hand at any time.
When he saw this scene, Jun Wuregret, who was sitting closest to Yanyu, was also nervously breaking out in a cold sweat all over his body, and the ministers below kept wiping their foreheads, obviously nervous.
There are even ministers who are weak in their hearts and simply close their eyes.
Even the great general Yuan Feng, who had experienced the battlefield battle, couldn't help frowning, and looked at the goddess empress dowager with a worried expression.
"Whoosh!" With a sound on the ground, Lin Hai's arrow finally shot out, and it shot fiercely at the eyebrows of the goddess and the empress dowager......
