Chu Ning, who was accompanying him on the side, raised his hand to stop forgetting his worries, and walked forward a few steps by himself: "The matter of the beast should be solved by the beast, why don't you send this iron-eating little beast to the beast garden in the palace, how about staying and continuing to drink and talk?" ”

Jing Han saw that it was a little girl dressed in palace maid's costume who stood out, and raised her chin with some contempt: "Who are you?" ”

Chu Ning stopped in front of the wooden cage: "I am just an ordinary person who serves in this palace, just like you give a gift for your little son, I will accept it for our little son of Dongqi now, and I will prepare a return gift for you later." ”

What she said was not wrong, the inner priest only served the Dongqi royal family in the palace, but Jing Han saw that she was not very old and her clothes were ordinary, so he took it for granted that she was just an ordinary palace maid, and her heart was as unhappy as a thorn.

Chu Ning saw his pupils shrink suddenly, and he knew that he was angry in his heart, and at the same time, he was sure that he guessed correctly, Jing's way of passing on the young son seemed to be stable, but in fact, these older sons were already very dissatisfied in their hearts.

Jing Han raised his hand and slapped twice on the wooden cage, and the door in front of the wooden cage suddenly opened, and the iron-eating beast rushed straight out. As soon as Chu Ning heard Jing Han say, "Then take it", the tall beast was already a foot in front of her, and it opened its mouth and bit at the top of her head.

The iron-eater left its cage and stood up straight, taller than before, and when the soles of its feet fell, the beams shook and the old ash fell.

Chu Ning shrank his head to dodge, and then used his hands and feet together to get under a four-legged tripod. The iron-eating beast chased after Chu Ning as if it was crazy, and bit it on the big ding, directly biting off half of it.

Jing Han watched with both hands on the side, his original intention was to use this beast to give Dong Qi a dismount, and then take action to restrain it when the trouble was almost over. The Eastern Qi royal family made a fool of themselves first, and then they would fall behind if they talked about any conditions. But at this time, since there was a little palace maid with no name and no surname, it was nothing to tear her up and see some blood, he didn't believe that Dongqi would embarrass the Jing family for a little palace maid.

The iron-eating beast lifted the big ding, like eating a snack, easily sent a few bites into its stomach, and then turned its head and pounced towards Chu Ning.

Chu Ning half-knelt on the ground, took a silver hairpin from his head, and shook it at the iron-eating beast, which stretched out its barbed tongue and licked its mouth and stared at the hairpin. Chu Ning raised his hand and drew an arc, and the hairpin came out of his hand, poking at the small case in front of the little prince of the Jing family, and the iron-eating beast pounced on it with a "whin".

Jing Song is a child after all, at first he watched the beast chasing irrelevant others, and he could sit calmly and eat the fruit, and when the beast jumped in front of him, he was also like an ordinary child, and he was so frightened that he cried "wow", and wiped his snot and tears all over his body.

Jing Han's face changed, if Jing Song had any three lengths and two shorts, he would not be able to explain to his father when he went back, so he took out the long rope made of silk silk from his arms, stepped forward and jumped on the back of the iron-eating beast, and firmly tied up its two fleshy wings.

Any beast of prey has its own unique weakness, and as long as it is subdued, it can be driven at will. The process of hunting and taming is the process of constantly testing the weaknesses of the beast.

Chu Ning got up calmly at this time, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly. As early as when Jing Han had just summoned the iron-eating beast, she had already carefully observed that the Jing clan had always been an important weapon supplier to the Jin Kingdom, but the people who came did not bring any metal ornaments, the only reasonable explanation was that the iron-eating beast fed on metal, this one was estimated to have been hungry for several days, and it was about to pounce when it saw something like a copper tripod silver hairpin. She took advantage of the situation to use a hairpin to lead the iron-eating beast to Jing Song.

Jing Han was slightly irritated and asked someone to take the iron-eating beast down, turned around and saw that Jing Song was still sobbing and crying, and a fire arched in his heart, and he lowered his voice and scolded: "What are you crying about, let people see jokes!" Jing Song had no choice but to swallow the sobs back, and his body was still twitching uncontrollably.

Chu Ning returned to Forget Worry and said a few words in Forget Worry's ear, Forget Worry beckoned Jiang Forget Huan to come over, took out a red fruit from the plate in front of him, and handed him a few words.

Jiang Wanghuan walked in front of Jing Song with the fruit in his hand, with an innocent expression: "Don't cry, I will accept the big bear, and this fruit will be eaten for you." Seeing that Jing Song hesitated and didn't dare to take it, Jiang Wanghuan put the fruit in his mouth and took a bite, and handed it over: "It's very sweet." ”

Jing Song sobbed and took it, tasted it, and burst into laughter.

Everyone in Dongqi breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Wanghuan not only accepted the iron-eating beast decently, but also solved the problem of returning the gift, using the fruit he had bitten as a return gift, which was clearly the attitude of the monarch rewarding his ministers and slaves, and the Jing family took it like this. If Jing Han wants to stop it, it's too late.

After the palace banquet, Jing's visitors had to stay in Eastern Qi for a few days, and the accommodation was naturally arranged in the post house, and Jiang Wanghuan frequently invited Jing Song to the palace to play under the instruction of the king and queen of Qi. The psychology of children is also very simple, the one who looks more mature and stable is always very easy to become the leader of his peers, and after coming and going, Jing Song has become a little follower by Jiang Wanghuan's side.

Three days later, Jing Han finally proposed the purpose of this visit to the King of Qi, first, the head of the Jing family sincerely wanted to marry the Qi State and asked the King of Qi to marry a princess, and the second was that the head of the Jing family summoned Jing Yuanyi, who had been living abroad, to go back, on the grounds that no child of the Jing family could wander outside for so long without participating in family affairs.

In the post house, Ji Chongguang sat opposite Jing Han, calmly and elegantly took a sip of the Jin Kingdom spirits they brought, and after a "hmm", he said slowly: "I haven't tasted this for more than ten years." ”

Jing Han looked at Ji Chongguang without hesitation, as if he was discerning whether he was really blind. He didn't quite understand why his father wanted to take the exiled son back by himself, and he especially told himself to be respectful. In the harem, Mrs. Li is dominant, and as soon as the King of Jin dies, Mrs. Li's son Lingqian ascends the throne, which should be a matter of no suspense.

Ji Chongguang took a sip of the liquor in front of him, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and then said: "I still need you to help me do a few more things before I can go back with you, what your father wants, when I finish the big thing, will give it to him." ”

Jing Han replied with a cold expression, quite perfunctory: "My father arranged for me to help my son return to the country out of loyalty to the king and couldn't bear to see the king's blood flowing outside." The words were high-sounding, but there was no respect in the tone.

Ji Chongguang didn't care about him, and said a few words to him. Jing Han showed a look of disbelief, but Ji Chongguang smiled firmly: "Unless these things are done, otherwise, I will never go back." ”

……

King Qi did not reply to Jing Han for a long time, because the princess in the palace who was not married at the right age, in fact, there were only Yun Le and Forget Worry, Yun Le was not very old, and he had just reached the age where he could talk about marriage, and the queen had always intended to stay by her side, and Forget Worry was because there was no mother's family to manage it, and her life was delayed.

After several trade-offs, someone gave King Qi a bad idea, and found a few palace maids who looked flat-headed and straight-faced, saying that they were the daughters born to King Qi and lowly palace slaves, although the identity was not very glamorous, but after all, she was also a princess, and when the time came, it would be more affordable for Jing to compensate for the dowry than to marry a genuine princess.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with King Qi arbitrarily appointing one to marry, but King Qi handed over the final decision to Jing Han. Jing Han directly chose either one, so he proposed a plan, let these alternative girls have a competition, choose a person with good looks, courage, and talent, and marry the head of Jing's family as his wife in a beautiful manner.

Chu Ning had already heard Jing Yuanyi say that the head of the Jing family was over sixty years old, fat and ugly, short-tempered and full of injuries, not to mention that Forget Worry had already taken a fancy to He Zhen, even without He Zhen, she couldn't tolerate the flower of Forget Worry, which was inserted into the pile of cow dung in the Jin Kingdom.

She thought about it for Forget Worries, thinking that this kind of competition, it may not be easy to win, but there are many opportunities to lose, but she needs to be secretive and not to be caught by others.

The first round is the screening of appearance and figure, and all the alternative "princesses" have drawn portraits, so that Jing Han can see them one by one, and he thinks that if he can, he will pass the test. Yunle and Forget Worry can be regarded as beauties, and there is naturally no reason to lose in this round.

In the second round, the horse race is decided, and the one who runs the fastest is the one who wins the event.

Chu Ning hit the idea on He Zhen again, trying to persuade him to change back into the form of a horse, and when the time comes, forget his worries and pick this one, and let He Zhen make a realistic horse miss the front hoof during the horse race, and the matter will naturally be solved.

But Forget Worry himself put forward another plan, which is still to let He Zhen change back into a horse form, forget Worry but not choose him, leave him to other candidates, with He Zhen's strength, with the unlucky guy who chose him, it should not be difficult to win this game.

The two discussed and agreed, and He Zhen put forward a condition, after this matter was completed, Chu Ning would have to find a way to send him out of Lindu, and he couldn't fight his idea again. For the sake of her friend's lifelong happiness, Chu Ning readily promised that if things were done, she couldn't continue to make up her mind to turn Hezhen into a slave, but she could continue to find a way to turn him into a lover, and we'd see when the time came.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, and the day before the scheduled horse race date, a major event suddenly happened in the palace of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. Jiang Chengyu, who has always been good friends with Ji Chongguang, entered the palace to visit King Qi, and after feeding his father medicine, King Qi suddenly had a crooked mouth and eyes and was unconscious.
