Chapter 7: Doubts
"The king's bow art is so good, if there is a dragon and a phoenix in the sky, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop the power of the king's arrow." Xiong Ju had a flattering smile on his face, and it was extremely smooth to slap the horse, and when Shen Chengping heard it, he knew why Xiong Ju wanted to raise so many people who puffed out his lips and tongues in the mansion, and his feelings were absorbing nutrients, and then he could use them to pat the sycophants of King Chu Ling. In fact, Xiong Ju would enter the palace every few days and use all kinds of lowly means to paralyze King Chu Ling and make him take himself lightly.
"What did you do when you entered the palace today?" King Chu Ling asked.
Xiongju responded affectionately: "There is a strange person who has obtained a secret recipe for winemaking and made a fine wine, and after I have the honor to taste it, I feel that this kind of wine can only be tasted by the king." Therefore, he brought this person and the secret recipe to the palace to pay respects. ”
"Wine?" Although King Chu Ling was slightly interested when he heard this, he didn't have much reaction. It is still the end of the hegemony of various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Chu State is the most vast and rich in products. As the monarch of Chu State, what King Chu Ling can enjoy and have is naturally far beyond what ordinary people think. He didn't pay attention to the so-called wine, and said casually: "Since this is the case, then offer it!" ”
Xiong Ju nodded at Shen Chengping, Shen Chengping took out the wine and placed it on the tray held by the waiter, and one of the waiters directly poured some wine into the imperial honor. The extremely rich aroma of wine instantly attracted King Chu Ling's attention, and a chamberlain who was specially responsible for testing poison drank the wine, and his face immediately showed a satisfied expression.
After half a ring, there was nothing wrong with the waiter, and someone checked the body, and there was nothing unusual, which showed that this wine was not poisonous, but King Chu Ling looked at the waiter with jealousy, and said: "This kind of wine, it is really a blessing that a person like you can taste it before the widow." You should die without regrets after drinking this wine! Then he drew his sword and stabbed the chamberlain who was trying the wine to death.
looked at the innocent waiter who fell to the ground, and watched the body of the waiter being dragged away by the other waiters around him expressionlessly. Shen Cheng's flat skin didn't wrinkle, the Spring and Autumn Period was unjust, as the lord of a country in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, judging from the current moral standards, he was indeed an extremely brutal king, and in the face of such a king, he had to worry about him turning his face and not recognizing people at any time.
The state of Chu is a strong country, and as a monarch of a strong country, one word can decide the fate of many small countries, so killing an inner servant is naturally natural in the eyes of King Chu Ling.
After verifying that the wine is non-toxic, King Chu Ling has been a little anxious to pour out a bottle of wine, and he raised his head and drank it in his mouth, encountering fine wine and tasting it is obviously not the habit of this era, with the noble status of King Chu Ling, he also wants to drink happily, and like Xiongju, King Chu Ling also choked, but King Chu Ling is willing to show his ugliness and is unwilling to spit out the wine in his mouth.
"Good wine! Hahaha! Wine! This wine is unparalleled in the world and should be a holy product. King Chu Ling laughed, held the wine bottle and said, "After drinking such a fine wine, how can a widow still drink those ordinary wines in the future?" When King Chu Ling said this, he turned his head to look at Shen Chengping and said, "Do you know how to make this wine?" ”
"That's true!" Shen Chengping said loudly: "Xiaomin understands this method of winemaking, and is willing to make wine for the king!" ”
King Chu Ling was overjoyed when he heard this: "Good! Since you have given this secret ingredient, you will be in charge of brewing and giving you tokens, but you can take whatever you need to make it. Shen Chengping was also overjoyed when he heard this, originally he just wanted to pull the relationship, but he didn't expect to get such an appointment, Mo Ao has no specific position, but Mo Ao can represent the king of Chu, and he is definitely a high-level member of the Chu State.
When a faint monarch feels that someone has his appetite, he will give him benefits without thinking and order him to continue to do things for himself, but Shen Chengping didn't expect that the charm of this wine was so great, and he actually let himself get the token of King Chu Ling so easily, this token can be said to represent King Chu Ling himself, King Chu Ling was so willful that in order to satisfy his desire to drink, he directly handed over such an important thing to himself. It didn't matter what the courtiers and nobles of the Chu State thought at all, so after a while, Shen Chengping was even a little incredulous.
"King, worship Fang Shi Xu Fu and ask to see!" At this time, a chamberlain next to him came to report.
"Please!" King Chu Ling said directly.
"Are you going to see me so soon?" Shen Chengping's heart moved, but his expression was calm.
"King!" It didn't take long for a young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old to come and ask for a meeting, Shen Chengping knew that Xu Fu was nearly fifty years old, and he looked so young, naturally because he had cultivated the occult arts, or that the monks looked so young. Xu Yong looks like he is only about thirty, but he is actually over a hundred years old, which is also the reason why he started cultivating late.
"Immortal Xu is here, the widow just got a pot of wine, how about you taste it together?" King Chu Ling said very politely to Xu Fu, which made Shen Chengping's heart move, seeing that King Chu Ling was so polite to Xu Fu, but there was something strange.
"Thank you, King!" Xu Fu didn't shirk King Chu Ling's kindness, and after tasting a bottle of wine, his eyes also showed surprise, and said, "It's indeed good wine!" ”
"Hahaha...... This wine is made by this person, I have specially ordered him to make wine, and when the first batch of fine wine is brewed, I will send a batch to Xu Xianchang! King Chu Ling said with a smile.
"Then thank you for your kindness!" Xu Fu just glanced at Shen Chengping, and thanked King Chu Ling directly, as the worship priest of King Chu Ling, King Chu Ling respected him, so naturally he would not look down on Shen Chengping as a 'little person' who only knew how to make wine.
"Immortal Xu came to see the widow, I don't know why?" King Chu Ling then asked.
"King Qiqi, now that Zhanghuatai is about to be completed in three months, you can prepare for the ceremony!" A hint of discoloration flashed in Xu Fu's eyes, and he said, "I have already calculated the location of the woman with the Fengming destiny, please allow me to lead the troops to find it!" ”
"Oh! Okay, I'll arrange for five hundred sergeants to go with the Immortal Chief, and if there is something Immortal Commander tells them to do! King Chu Ling said directly.
"Thank you, King!" After Xu Fu thanked him, he continued: "After I leave, the king still needs to be careful about the ruler between his eyebrows, I have calculated that this son's life is not good for the king, and the king needs to eradicate it as soon as possible!" ”
"Xu Xianchang rest assured, the widow already knows about this matter, the cadre will cast a sword for me, but he just kept a hand, and cast a sword for himself to pass on to his son, it can be seen that he has a different heart, thanks to the widow who killed the cadre as soon as possible, this damn guy, before he died, he also said that I would die in the hands of his son between the eyebrows, hum, I got Xu Xianchang's reminder, the widow has passed the word to the Chu State, and he will definitely catch Mo Ye and the ruler between the eyebrows, thinking that the ruler between the eyebrows is just a teenager, even if there is a sword in hand, how can he escape the roundup, The widow wants to see why the cadre thinks that the ruler between the eyebrows can avenge him! ”
Shen Chengping listened to this conversation, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Casting Sword, Zhang Huatai and Feng Mingnu, I always feel that there seems to be some connection here, it should be Xu Fu planning something, but what is the connection?" ”
