Chapter 42: Performance

"If that's the case, then it's better to reward twenty boards." The Emperor said casually again. The guards who were holding me heard this, and then they started to move again.

I was dragged backwards by them, looking at Miss Zhu's gloating eyes, thinking that no matter how I am, I am a modern person, how can I let the ancients bully me, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty! Since today is General Shen's birthday, it is better for the slave to dare to offer a skill, if the sacrifice is not good, it is not too late for the emperor to punish him. ”

When Shen Yu heard this, he nodded frequently, and echoed me. The Emperor seemed to be a little moved when he saw this, and with a wave of his hand, the two men let me go.

I got up from the ground, ran back to the pavilion as fast as I could, knelt on my knees, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Lord Long." ”

He glanced at me faintly, then tilted his head away. Shen Yu saw that the emperor was not very happy, and said with a serious face: "If the sacrifice is not good, not only will you have to receive twenty boards, but this general will also reward you with twenty military sticks!" ”

I quickly nodded, then looked down and thought for a moment, and said what I requested. After a while, I saw several cups of different sizes containing different amounts of water, and I had someone get me a thicker stick, and asked the guard to put the cup on the table and start to knock it gently.

"In a trance, the wind will blow whoever leads a destined road; The grass and trees are like a picture in a dream, revisiting a scene that has passed; The steps of the palace wall and the city soil, silently poured; That came out with a light song and dance, and quietly confided; Reverse the flow of time, forget the prosperity of the previous life; Unconsciously has been deeply involved in it, and it is also painful for love; The world in front of me is hazy again, and the darkness of the passing years ends in the blink of an eye; Look deep again and cherish the heart, continue in the night, this dream. "I sang and sang, and I sang with a sense of sadness. The chaotic world of modern times is far away from me, and life here seems peaceful, but it hides murderous intentions. Now I am not as carefree as when I first came, there are more and more things in my heart, and I don't know if I can really get out of it after five years.

At the end of the song, there was silence all around. I sat on the stone bench, staring at the still fluttering water in the cup for a moment, then lifted it up again and met the same eyes of the King of Pleasure, motionless. The wooden branch in my hand broke off with the slightest force of my fingers, and the "snap" sound was like an alarm clock, which woke everyone up.

"What's the name of this piece?" Shen Yu asked.

"Back to the general's words, it's just a minion improvisation, and he can't get on the big stage." I replied, got up and stood back behind Shen Yu.

After that, no one mentioned the punishment of me, and the atmosphere was lively again. They sat in the pavilion all day, and they didn't eat at noon, was the ancient people's ability to endure hunger so good?

When I descended the mountain, the sun had already set into the mountain, and the afterglow reflected the clouds in the sky reddish, setting off the lush mountains and forests around us, like a colorful ink painting.

I looked at the way King Xiaoyao and Shen Yu talked, and wondered when they would reconcile? When I was thinking about it, my arm hurt violently, and when I looked back, I saw Miss Zhu standing beside me staring at me fiercely.

Her father was still talking to the emperor, and although her face was as usual, the fierceness in her eyes was enough to dismantle me.

"What are you proud of, Princess Xiaoyao will be mine sooner or later, no matter how much the prince likes you, it is impossible to give you a name!"

"Miss probably misunderstood, Lord Wang... It's just a game for the minions, how can it be taken seriously? Sometimes what the eye sees isn't necessarily the real thing. "What I said is very clear, I don't know if this Miss Zhu can be smart enough to understand what I mean.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief as I watched the Emperor's figure slowly disappear from sight, and a ferocious hunger pang ensued, causing my stomach to rumble and growl.

At this time, only me, King Xiaoyao, General Shen and Miss Zhu were left. We glanced at each other and then turned our gaze away.

Miss Zhu still clings her body tightly to one of the arms of the Easy King, like sticky chewing gum, and two beautiful phoenix eyes are constantly demonstrating to me.

I looked at them so closely, and learned from the little ones in the Goolan courtyard on TV, and shouted sweetly: "General Shen, you see it's getting late, let's go back and rest early." "I deliberately bit the word "we" very hard, just to see how the King of Joy reacted.

Sure enough, King Xiaoyao's brows furrowed slightly, he pulled his arm out of Miss Zhu's hand, and said to her, "You go back first, this king still has some things to deal with." ”

"Lord Wang, aren't you sending Lin'er? It's already so late, aren't you afraid that Lin'er will encounter danger on the way back? Her tone was full of coquettishness, and I could hear Shen Yu and I look impatient at the same time.

"See for yourself if you can't go back or not." The King didn't want to say anything more to her, so he grabbed me in front of everyone and dragged me forward.

"Hey, let me go! Let go! "I was also angry, and I was so angry that I screamed and tried to break my hand out of his big palm.

He glared back at me and continued to pull me in his stride. I suddenly ran out of ideas, so I could only say loudly: "I am already Shen Yu's person now, you have no right to do this!" After saying this, he really let go of my hand. I didn't stand still, staggered a few steps forward, and was about to fall.

Shen Yu caught up from behind, and I saw that his hand had reached over, and when I just wanted to grab it, I was already in my arms.

"Let go of me!" I saw that he hugged me very tightly, and unceremoniously raised his foot and stepped on the instep of his foot, he was like a piece of wood and did not react at all, I saw this and lay on his shoulder and bit him violently, I felt his body tremble, and hugged me tighter.

"Xiao Ziling, let go of me, I'm already Shen Yu's person now, you are not qualified to do this to me!" I repeated the words in his ear again.

"Is that how you want to be his man?" The angry voice let me know that I had completely provoked him, and I thought back to what I had just said, and immediately found disagreement, but I didn't want to explain it, it was already like this anyway, so I just let him misunderstand.

"That's right! I just want to be his man, I not only want to be his man, I want to marry him, I want to drive everyone around him away! I'm going toβ€”" The slap interrupted me, and I covered my cheeks, which were red and swollen from his beating, and stared straight at him.
