Chapter Ninety-Four: The Gift of Recklessness
When I returned to the camp, I saw that many people had returned. Everyone stretched their necks when they saw the two of them coming empty-handed, they had already handed over their prey to the officiant to count, and Ye Qiu, the prince of Lingnan, was the first to take the lead in taunting, and this year he found a sharpshooter to compete with Ye Shengfeng.
"Ouch, our Lord Ning is back, why are you empty-handed, and you don't see the attendants bring back wild things? Could it be that this year I deliberately promise to let us prodigal sons, and that is really thankful. ”
Seeing Ye Qiu grinning, the corners of Ye Shengfeng's mouth also rose: "I heard that the prince has a sharpshooter who pierces Yang in a hundred steps this year, it's a pity that this king failed to bump into it." ”
"King Ning said and laughed, it's just a little trick, how dare you get into your eyes." When the two were talking and laughing, an unkempt man suddenly rushed out and shouted at Ye Shengfeng: "His Royal Highness King Ning is too deceitful. ”
also frowned and looked at the man and felt a little familiar, "What?" ”
"Why did you order me to be tied up?"
Zou Shibo raised his head and was aggressive, and before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Zou Zheng, who rushed over: "Second brother, why are you, how can His Royal Highness King Ning be able to collide?" ”
While talking, he gave him a look, but Zou Shibo sneered: "You're not worried that I'm going to ruin your future by tying you, but I want to ask clearly." ”
"Haha, what a straightforward character, this king doesn't mind, you tell me to listen, when did this king find someone to kidnap you?"
King Ning crossed his waist, but Jiang Yu rushed over from behind him in a hurry: "Second brother, I'll explain your matter to you later, don't ask now?" Jiang Yu gave Zou Shibo a look, Zou Shibo took the opportunity to look at the emperor and queen in the distance, and then he couldn't bear to stop talking, but King Ning still wanted to ask clearly, but when he saw Jiang Yu coming to appease him again, he had to give up.
At this moment, the celebrant asked loudly: "Is there any prince who has not handed in his prey, if not, he can come out of the ranking." ”
Ye Shengqiong rushed over and handed over a bunch of prey, but it seemed that it was much less than Ye Qiu's big bunch, so he sighed and shook his head: "This year, you and I brothers are out of play." ”
saw Ye Shengfeng raise his head and smile: "That's not necessarily." And when they heard this, they all looked at him.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a team of guards in the distance, each with a few prey in their hands, which was not surprising, the most strange thing was that the six Great Khans at the back carried a giant python more than a dozen lengths on their shoulders, their eyes were like dragon balls, and their bodies were one foot thick, which was really terrifying, and the timid palace people began to scream again and again.
Even the emperor and queen, as well as the concubines and the civil and military generals around them, were all surprised, and began to exchange heads. When the python came near, everyone gathered around. The celebrant and the emperor's father-in-law, with a group of eunuch attendants, took out a ruler and began to measure.
Lin Yue, the auxiliary general, also came to check after receiving the emperor's instructions, and returned to the emperor later: "The emperor is indeed a giant python with a body length of more than ten battles, and its body is as thick as the mouth of a bowl." And it was killed by an arrow. ”
The emperor and queen were all shocked when they heard this: "An arrow killed? Who shot it? ”
"Back to the queen, it was His Royal Highness King Ning who hunted it."
When the queen heard this, she was overjoyed, and she spoke: "My son's martial arts have improved a lot. ”
The emperor also nodded again and again, and the other concubines hurriedly flattered, praising His Royal Highness King Ning for his bravery, only Concubine Mei remained silent, took a sip of tea and smiled silently.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the emperor turned his head and asked, "Concubine Ai can serve Feng'er this time?" ”
"Your Highness, the concubine of the Shenwu Minister, dare to disagree."
"Huh? Insincere. The emperor laughed. The queen's face changed slightly: "Feng'er has embarrassed her sister many times, but fortunately her sister doesn't care, it's really rare to praise her today, why should the emperor say anything insincere." ”
"Queen, you don't know, Mei'er knows her temperament best, I said that she has something in her stomach, hehe."
The emperor's joke made all the concubines lose interest and quiet down for a while, just imagine who doesn't want the emperor to understand and let the emperor always remember it, but it is very difficult, some people are afraid that the emperor can't even remember his appearance and die in the harem, although the four concubines who accompanied him can't stand such naked favoritism because of their high status.
Concubine Mei saw that everyone was displeased, so she said angrily: "The emperor will make a stumbling block for the concubines, and now the concubines have to say it if they don't say it, it is an indisputable fact that His Royal Highness King Ning is brave, but this arrow method is by no means as simple as exquisite, in early spring, the cold snake has not come out of the hole, even if it comes out of the hole, it will definitely be hidden and abnormal, His Royal Highness King Ning's eyesight is really extraordinary." ”
So that everyone felt even more magical, and they all applauded, this will measure the results have come out, this giant python is eleven battles long, one foot two thick, and the colorful patterns around the body are very rare.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has made a great contribution this time, remembering that last year, there were often people who disappeared on Qiongshan for no reason, which was related to this evil animal, and now His Royal Highness has made a merit for the people."
Lin Yuejin, the auxiliary general, said that everyone echoed one after another. Concubine Mei smiled again, and the emperor frowned: "Why is Concubine Ai smiling again?" ”
"The emperor's concubines don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"I Ching" has a cloud python to cross the catastrophe, success is the dragon, failure is fate, this python is like a flying dragon, the dragon is the god of heaven, protect the people, Your Majesty is the true dragon of the Son of Heaven how can help others to destroy the dragon majesty. When it was spread out, it made people talk about it, and the concubines laughed, because there were people who thought like this. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were so frightened that they were speechless, and the queen calmly invited King Ning and Jiang Yu over, and said with a smile: "Sister Mei is angry with you again, telling you to provoke her less often, but you don't listen, this is not a python talking dragon, complaining that you killed your father and the emperor." ”
Ye Shengfeng's eyes intersected with Jiang Yuyan, and the flames were everywhere, and the murderous spirit was full: "Superstition is blunt, how can my father believe it." ”
The emperor laughed embarrassedly, every time the two were reconciled, the contradiction was even better, Concubine Mei's remarks could not be taken seriously, but if this remark was spread, it would be unfavorable to King Ning, but now she refuted Concubine Mei, and she couldn't bear to lose her face, and she moved out of the Book of Changes to say things. was melancholy, and saw Jiang Yu smiling calmly staring at the giant python in the distance, so he decided to throw this problem to her: "Jiang Yu, since you are Feng'er's quasi-princess, let's talk about your opinion on this matter, is this reckless shooting a merit or a fault?" ”
Jiang Yu looked back and stepped forward to salute, she already knew that Jiang Yuyan had tried to test all her secret guards were removed by Ye Shengfeng, and the plan in her heart had failed, and it was difficult to hide her anger, she must have set herself again, this arrow was reckless, Jiang Yu did it deliberately, firstly, to test her confidence, and secondly, to tell her that no matter who she was, she would never want to play with it again. This giant python was made by Concubine Mei, and it was originally intended as a trap to unite the secret guards to give Jiang Yu a dismount, test her identity, or get rid of it directly, but I didn't expect that all my deployments would be in vain. This python is hidden secretly, if Jiang Yu hadn't seen it in the bracelet, it would have been possible to catch her way.
