Text Chapter 85 The Imposter Messenger
After a few days, no one in Bina recognized the letter of the bird and beast. Hu Kehao continued to pretend to be an envoy, entered the palace to meet the king, and said: "The king of my country is worried that your country will not recognize the credentials, so he has prepared an English copy for the king to preview. ”
The king opened the English version of the letter of state, which read: "To the king of Bina: You are adjacent to our country, and the border soldiers have repeatedly violated our borders, presumably from the king's will. We have agreed that we can cede 10 islands on your border. There are so many gifts: gemstones, pearls, agate, crystals, diamonds, shark fins, abalone, cattle and horses, brocades, fresh fruits, and so on. If you don't give it, our country will raise troops to fight your country, and see which one wins or loses! ”
After reading the letter of state, the king was astonished, pondered for a long time, and asked the Manchu civil and military officials: "If a foreign country wants to raise an army to seize our islands, what should the ministers do?" "The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, like a clay sculpture Bodhisattva, no one dares to deal with it.
Hermanta said: "My lord, our country has developed from a small tribe to a large maritime country, and the surrounding small states have been annexed one after another. Now, presumably, it is the foreigners who have seen the decline of our national strength and have begun to invade. According to Weichen's humble opinion, we should expel the traitors and evil in the DPRK, reorganize the dynasty, make great efforts to govern the country, and bring our country to prosperity, and other countries will not dare to invade. ”
"Between Yiqing, who is the traitor in the DPRK and China?" The king asked.
"It's the national teacher of the cannibal tribe, he is clearly not looking for medicine, but he wants to eat people, which causes the people of our country to be resentful and the foundation is unstable. It is a blessing for the country to ask the king to distinguish between right and wrong, expel such demons, and subdue the hearts of the people! Hermantha said.
"The national teacher is loyal to me, shares worries and solves problems for me, is a national treasure, how can it be as unbearable as Aiqing said?" The king said.
The king was frightened by Hu Kehao, and his illness worsened, and he urgently summoned the national teacher to come. The national teacher saw the king and said, "The king's illness is not serious, as long as he eats my magic medicine, he will be cured." Wechen has the best of both worlds, which can relieve the king's worries. ”
"What's the solution? Hurry up. The king asked.
"The foreign envoy passed the letter of state, flaunted his might, and did not take the king in his eyes. According to Wei Chen's opinion, the messenger can be killed, firstly, to kill chickens and monkeys, to strengthen the prestige of our country, and not to let foreigners look down on me, and secondly, to take out his heart and liver, and use it as medicine to induce treatment. The national teacher said.
"The two countries are fighting each other, and you don't cut them off, and your actions are not in line with international law." The king said.
"Special circumstances, beheading to demonstrate!" The national teacher said.
The king really sent someone to arrest Hu Kehao and escort him to the harem. Hermanta had foreseen this and taught Hu Kehao to be prepared and deal with it calmly. The king said to Hu Kehao: "The widow is seriously ill, and he will not recover for a long time. The national teacher has a good prescription, the bait is all available, only a taste of medicine is missing, please ask the messenger to help, if you are cured, set to build an ancestral hall for the messenger, sacrifice at four o'clock, and always pass on the incense of the country. ”
Hu Kehao said: "I came to your country alone, and I didn't bring anything valuable, I don't know what the king wants to make medicine?" ”
The king said, "The heart and soul of the messenger are needed." ”
Hu Kehao said: "The king has a will, and Weichen will do it." I wonder what color heart the king needs? ”
The national teacher pointed out on the side: "I want your black heart." ”
Hu Kehao said: "Quickly take the knife, wait for me to cut open the chest and abdomen, if there is a black heart, I will be ordered." ”
The guard took a sharp knife and handed it to Hu Kehao. Hu Kehao took the knife in his hand, untied his clothes, straightened his chest, held his left hand in his abdomen, held the knife in his right hand, and stabbed it towards the mouth of the heart. Of course, Hu Kehao didn't really stab it, it was a trick or magic. Hermanta taught Hu Kehao to practice for two whole days before he learned to be leaky and could not see any flaws.
Hu Kehao cut open the skin and flesh, and a bunch of hearts rolled out of the bones inside, the king's face changed in fright, and the national teacher also felt numb all over his body, and said: "It's really rare, this is a multi-hearted person." ”
Hu Kehao held the bloody heart in his hand, pointed them out to the king one by one, and said: "This is my loyalty, kindness, conscience, care, love, happiness, patience, study heart, worry about the country and the people, but there is no black heart as the national teacher said!" The king was so frightened that he could not speak, and said tremblingly, "If not, let it go!" ”
Taking advantage of the national teacher's inattention, Hu Kehao took out a large bag of black dog blood from his body and splashed it at him. The national teacher was thinking about what trick Hu Kehao used to hide from him, but unexpectedly, the stinky black dog blood splashed on him, and before he could dodge, it was all poured on him. A puff of black smoke came out, and the national teacher screamed, revealing his true appearance, which turned out to be a piranha. It turned out that Hermanta had long seen that the national teacher was a goblin, so he specially found the black dog blood and asked the master to cast a spell, and the national teacher really appeared in his original form.
The king was frightened by this change. Hu Kehao explained: "King, this national teacher is really a goblin. He has been confusing you, looking for medicine is false, cannibalism is true. Please forgive Hermanta's painstaking efforts, take back his fate, and release the innocent children. ”
"It's the king who is confused for a while, and quickly summons the minister of Hemanta into the palace." The king gave a decree.
After a while, Hermanta entered the palace and visited the king at the bedside, explained the truth of the matter, and pleaded with him: "Great king, the kingdom of Bina has been governed by several generations of previous kings, and the country is becoming stronger and stronger. Now the king is deceived by traitors, his national strength is declining, and the neighboring countries are eyeing us, and territorial disputes are continuous. Weichen risked killing his head, and through the mouth of foreign envoys, he explained to the king that he was powerful, and hoped that the king would pay attention to it and be diligent in state affairs. ”
"So, this envoy is fake? Did you find someone to impersonate you? The king asked.
"Although the envoy and the letter of state are fake, the content of the letter is the real situation that the ambassador of Bina country to the country of Ao Guo has learned, and the parliamentarians who have come to the country do have this idea. Intelligence agents reported that they discussed the issue in Congress. Weichen is guilty of defrauding the king, and he specially asks the king for his guilt. Hermantha said.
"It's just a matter of remembering your loyalty. Put the children back and take a sum of money from the treasury as compensation for their families. The king decreed, and Hermantha complied with it.
Hu Kehao was often sick when he was a child, he had read a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, had eaten a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and often read medical books and accumulated some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Hu Kehao checked the king's condition, consulted some famous Chinese medicine doctors on the Internet, and went to the island to collect a variety of Chinese medicines. Hermanta presented the herb to the king, and of course it was inevitable to find someone to test it. After the king took Chinese medicine, coupled with dietary conditioning, the disease was cured. Both the king and Hermanta were puzzled, they had been taking Western medicine for a long time, but it had not worked, why could the weeds on the island cure diseases? Of course, they didn't know that Shennong had tasted all kinds of herbs and had already discovered herbs that could cure various diseases.
Hu Kehao handed the letter written by Elder Sandra to the king. After the death of the old king, in the process of many sons vying for the throne, Elder Sandra provided the current king with a condor, helped him, and was his benefactor. After the current king ascended the throne, Sandra the Elder retired, or feared that he would be burned, so he lived in seclusion in a hut by the sea. In order to help Hu Kehao, Elder Sandra pulled down his neck and wrote a letter for him to ask the king for help.
The king understood the situation and said, "For the sake of Elder Sandra, I will help you to go to the island of Aina. In a few days there will be a ship from Aina Island, and I will entrust you to the captain and ask him to bring you to Aina Island. Since you have pretended to be an envoy who has come to pride your country, then you will be wrong and you will be wrong again, and you will once again pretend to be the envoy of my kingdom of Bina. Of course, I will give you a real letter of state, which is really stamped, so that you can become a real messenger. When you arrive on Aina Island, how to rescue your friends is up to you! ”
"He doesn't look like a native of Bina, and if he is an envoy of Bina, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion." Hermantha said.
"When others ask, then it is better to say that he is the son-in-law of the king of Bina." The king said.
With the king's help, Hu Kehao was one step closer to the island of Aiina, and he rejoiced. And he thought: If King Bina really married the princess to him, wouldn't it be a good thing?
