Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Blacksmith Competition
“……”
There was silence in the dining room, until one of the Imperial Chefs shouted, "There are assassins!" ”
The imperial dining room almost became a mess.
"Don't scream!" Ling Chi let out a loud shout, which shocked people's hearts and scared all the imperial chefs into quieting down.
"This man is my friend." Ling Chi looked at the old man with gray hair and beard, as well as the wine gourd on his back and the green jade staff in his hand, and said with a smile: "Gang Master Hong, it's been a long time. ”
Hong Qigong was embarrassed and a little surprised: "You ...... Isn't that kid from Huashan? ”
"Isn't that me!" Ling Chi smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are much older." ”
"Time is not forgiving!" Hong Qigong sighed for a moment, and then asked, "It's you, why haven't you seen you for twenty years, and you are still so young?" ”
"It's hard to give up on being born beautiful, there's no way." Ling Chi spread his hands.
"......" Hong Qigong looked disdainful: "I always tell Huazi to walk the world, if you want to be shameless, you can be called the first." ”
"Where, my skills are still shallow, and I have to continue to work hard." Ling Chi is very 'modest'.
"......" Hong Qigong's expression was wonderful and indescribable.
"It's you." Ling Chi said with a bit of sarcasm: "The leader of the dignified beggar gang, why did he come to the palace to be this gentleman?" Don't you really want to stab? ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Hong Qigong's frightened face turned white: "The old name Hanako just wants to come to the imperial dining room to eat something delicious, how dare you do something stably." ”
"Huh!?" An imperial chef shouted: "No wonder there is always less food in the imperial dining room these days, it turns out that you have stolen it!" ”
Hong Qigong laughed dryly: "The old name Huazi is a little greedy, and I heard that the imperial food in the palace is the most delicious in the world, so I came over to taste it." ”
"How's it taste?" Ling Chi asked with a smile.
"It's done." Hong Qigong nodded, and shook his head again: "Compared with the flying toad, it is still a lot worse." ”
This sentence made more than a dozen imperial chefs very angry, but when they heard the next sentence, they all shut up one by one.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years, are you going to make another flying toad for the old man Hanako to taste?"
It turned out that Ling Shaoxia did it, no wonder.
The chefs were convinced.
Ling Chi chuckled lightly and said, "No problem, just give the money." ”
"......" Hong Qigong hated to stab him to death with a stick: "It's been twenty years, and you still want money like this." ”
"That's what I said." Ling Chi said as a matter of course: "There is no free lunch in the world, which restaurant do you go to eat without money?" That is, you are called Hanako, all of you are strong, but you don't do anything to produce, you only know how to beg for food with others, shame! ”
"You...... You ......" Hong Qi's angry old face turned red and white: "You come out!" Hanako wants to teach you a lesson! ”
"Not available." Ling Chi picked up the bowl of medicinal food, covered it with a lid, and said, "I still want to treat the emperor, you thief has been discovered, why don't you run away?" Are you really waiting for the Ouchi guards to catch you? ”
Hong Qigong's brain was smoking, he glared at him viciously, and dropped a sentence "You wait!" He ran out of the imperial dining room and ran for his life.
At this time, Huang Rong asked, "Uncle Ling, is he the Seventh Duke of Beibeg Hong?" ”
"That's him." Ling Chi nodded, and said to more than a dozen imperial chefs: "He is one of the five uniques in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the leader of the beggar gang, don't talk nonsense about things here, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble, and it will not be good for yourself and your family." ”
The imperial chefs were in their hearts, and they promised again and again that they would not say it.
"That's good."
……
Looking at the blue light that suddenly rose into the sky, Zhao Kuo was shocked: "This ...... This is the medicinal diet that can cure me!? ”
"Exactly." Ling Chi nodded: "After taking it, the emperor will be in pain for a few days, and his urination will increase." This is normal, just get through it. ”
"If you want to be healed, how can you not pay the price." Zhao Kuo smiled and tasted the medicinal food.
"Hmm-"
"Ding, conquer the ...... of non-rank diners"
“……”
It's normal, Ling Chi is used to it.
After a few minutes, the medicinal diet was finished. As Ling Chi said, Zhao Kuo felt that many joints were swollen and painful, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Ji's face was anxious.
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Kuoqiang endured the pain and said, "I can stand it." ”
Ling Chi exclaimed: "The emperor is worthy of being the king of a country, and he can endure what ordinary people can't endure. ”
Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly: "I'm just a strong support, it really hurts!" ”
"The emperor doesn't need to worry." Ling Chi tapped the back of Zhao Kuo's neck lightly and said, "It's better now?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Kuo moved his hands and feet, although there was still some pain, but it was already within the range of bearing.
Zhao Kuo said happily: "I didn't expect Ling Shaoxia to have such a magic skill, but I am much better." ”
"It's just to weaken the emperor's consciousness." Ling Chi shook his head and said, "Although the pain has also been reduced, the perception of other things will also be weakened, and the emperor still has a few more people to serve with him these days, so as not to be unable to clean up when he is incontinent." ”
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his body was numb and crispy, and tried to stand up, but his body softened and he couldn't get up.
"I see." Zhao Kuo sighed: "Heaven and earth are balanced by yin and yang, and there will be gains and losses. ”
"It's only a few days." Ling Chi smiled and said, "After the emperor recovers from his illness, he must make adjustments in his daily life and eating habits, otherwise he will inevitably make another mistake in the future." ”
"Listen to Ling Shaoxia." Zhao Kuo now thinks that Ling Chi is a strange person with ability, just like when King Wen of Zhou met Jiang Taigong, at least in terms of treatment and health, he, the emperor, must listen to Ling Chi.
"It's not too early." Ling Chi looked at the night and said, "It's time for us to say goodbye." ”
"How about Ling Shaoxia and the White Lotus Fairy stay in the palace for a few days?" Zhao Kuo said: "To be honest, if Ling Shaoxia leaves, I will feel uneasy. ”
Seeing that Zhao Kuo said calmly, Ling Chi nodded: "It's okay." ”
Zhao Kuo smiled: "In this way, I will make an order to convene an open competition of blacksmiths in the world to compete for the title of the number one blacksmith in the world." ”
Ling Chi was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't expect the emperor to come up with such a method, admire." ”
Zhao Kuo laughed and said: "People live in the world, what they fight for is nothing more than fame and fortune, I give them this opportunity, they will do their best, this is also an explanation I gave to Ling Shaoxia." ”
Ling Chi clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
……
The emperor personally decreed that the news of holding the world's first blacksmith competition spread throughout the world within a few days.
Hearing the news, not only the blacksmiths of the Great Song Dynasty, but even the blacksmiths of the Jin Kingdom were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and they packed up and went to Lin'an to compete.
As Zhao Kuo said, people live in the world, and what they fight for is nothing more than fame and fortune, and now the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty has given the world's blacksmiths a chance to compete for fame and fortune, how can these folk blacksmiths not be tempted?
If you win, you will glorify your ancestors, and if you lose, you can exchange skills. No one wants to be absent from the sale of two birds with one stone.
