Chapter 42: Brother Senior Brother (II)
"Poor brother, please sit down and talk!" The King of the Southland said as he sat back on his throne.
"Yes! Your Majesty! He sat upright beside the king's huge desk.
The last rays of the setting sun disappeared from the king's office, and the light in the office immediately dimmed.
The king of Nandi ordered someone to light the lights in the room, and the dull mood of the two kings and ministers was added to the light that permeated the room.
The king of Nandi said: "Brother Poor, do you think this king should find a few important ministers to come and listen to your report now?" ”
Xia Poor shook his head: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is not necessary for the time being, because once this matter is spread, it will affect the hearts of the army and the people." Therefore, it is best to wait for His Majesty and the princess to reach a consensus after listening to the report of the old ministers and make a decision, and then convene a court meeting tomorrow to announce it to the ministers and listen to any of them have better suggestions. If His Majesty had given the minister the latest war situation first, he would have been grateful. ”
The King of Nandi immediately nodded yes.
While the two were talking about the border war, the princess of the king of Nandi walked in from outside the door, her dress and demeanor were more like a green-faced boy with a delicate face, but the hairstyle on her head and her bumpy figure showed the unique charm of a young woman.
Xia Poor immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Princess, disturb your rest!" ”
The princess smiled and said, "Uncle Xia Poor must have something very urgent to come to meet my father at this time, Nan Ling is very eager to know what is so unusual at the first time, Uncle Xia Poor, please take a seat." ”
The princess bowed to her father, and then sat down in the seat opposite the lower poverty.
After Xia Poor sat down, he immediately began to talk about his experience in the ancient city today, from hearing the movement outside the palace of the ancient city in the morning to the whole details of the summoning process of the king of the ancient land. But he did not mention the matter of meeting with the students for the time being, let alone mentioning that the expeditionary force of the prairie intended to settle in Xinnancheng.
The father and daughter of the king of Nandi have been listening attentively to the story of the poor, until the story of the poor is finished, they exchanged glances with each other, and then the king of the southland nodded slightly to the princess, meaning if you have any questions, just say it.
The princess turned her face to Xia Poor with a serious expression and said: "Uncle Xia Poor, we have long heard that there are underwater people in the thousands of miles of ocean between the prairie and Qizhou, which causes the people of the prairie and Qizhou to dare not go out to the sea to fish, and the prairie people have not dared to sail to Qizhou since the Heavenly King.
But you just said that the prince's envoy of the prairie drove a boat and cart across the sea to Xizhou, and broke into the palace of the king of Gudi directly from outside the ancient city, and then used force to force the king of Gudi to accept his authority and armistice order. It's hard to believe, can you elaborate on that? ”
Xia Poor lost no time in praising the king of Nandi: "Your Majesty, the princess is really ice and snow smart, and she has grasped the core of the whole incident at once. ”
After complimenting him, he turned his face to the princess and said, "Princess, the old minister hurried back here from the ancient city today, and all the way he was thinking about it: When he sees the princess in the palace, how should the old minister recommend this young and promising prince envoy from the prairie to the princess?"
The princess immediately heard the implication of the impoverishment, and a blush appeared on her face, and a smile appeared on the originally nervous and serious face of the king of Nandi.
He looked at the king and said, "Your Majesty," and then looked at the princess, "Princess, do you remember the legend about the two princes of the prairie that the old minister brought back from the ancient city many years ago?" ”
The king of Nandi thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's been too long, and this king can't remember any story about the prince of the prairie, is it related to this prince's envoy?" ”
Without waiting for the poor to answer the king's question, Princess Nanling excitedly said to the king: "Father, I remember! The story of the poor uncle is that the two princes of the prairie took a spaceship from the prairie to Qizhou, and at that time there was a Tianling country in Qizhou, because the king of Tianling captured a medicine fairy, and in order to save the medicine fairy, the prince of the prairie made trouble in the fairy grass city. Because they had a flying Outer Ironman friend to help, they defeated hundreds of Tianling King's guards and rescued the Medicine Immortal. ”
After speaking, the princess turned to ask the poor: "Uncle the poor, is that story true?" Could it be that the prince's envoy you see today is the prince in the story? ”
After listening to the princess's words, Xia Poor was very happy, as long as the princess remembered the story he himself heard from the merchants of Qizhou more than ten years ago, the rest of the words would be easy to say.
Xia Poor looked at the king again and praised: "Your Majesty, the princess's memory is unmatched! ”
The King of the Southland smiled but said nothing.
Xia Poor turned his face to the princess and said: "Princess, the old minister has heard several versions of the story about the prince of the prairie in the ancient city, and he used to doubt whether all of them are true, but the old minister never expected that just this morning, the old minister actually had the honor to sit opposite one of the two princes in the story. The old minister witnessed the young prince's burly figure and dignified appearance, and also heard his majestic and powerful words, it turned out that those stories that have been circulated in the world for more than 20 years are true! ”
"But, Uncle Xia, you said that the story has been circulated for more than 20 years, indicating that the two prairie princes came to Qizhou more than 20 years ago, and they were already more than ten years old at that time, and it stands to reason that they are now over forty years old, but you just said that the prince you saw today is young, is it wrong?" The princess looked at Xia Poor with sharp eyes and asked.
The king's eyes were equally suspicious when he looked at the poor.
Xia Poor looked at the king with a calm expression, and then looked at the princess and smiled: "Your Majesty, princess, the old minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense, if the old minister hadn't seen it with his own eyes this morning, he wouldn't believe that there is such a miracle in the world." In fact, the reason for this is clear, doesn't the princess remember that the story says that the prince of the prairie has a spaceship flying in the sky, and there is an iron man who can fly outside the sky? ”
The princess's reflexes were really extraordinary, and a glint flashed in her eyes and she blurted out: "The prince has gone to the outer world!" ”
"What a clever princess!" This time, he looked at the princess and sighed sincerely.
Then he looked at the king and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, as the princess said, after the two prairie princes rescued the medicine fairy, they went to the outer world with their outer friends, and they just returned to the prairie from the outer world. As the old saying goes: One year on earth and one day in heaven, so although more than twenty years have passed in our earthly world, the prince of the prairie is still as young as a princess. ”
Princess Nanling seemed to have understood everything, because she no longer asked questions, but looked beyond the head of the poor to look at the sunset outside the window, as if she wanted to see the colorful world outside the sky through the gorgeous and colorful canopy.
But the king of Nandi was obviously more thoughtful, he thought about it, looked at the poor and asked, "Brother the poor, how are you sure that this prince's envoy is the prince in his story?" How can you be sure that he has just returned to the prairie from the outer worlds? ”
When the princess heard her father's words, she immediately withdrew her gaze from the sky and fixed it on her poor face.
Xia Poor said solemnly: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty, Princess, when the old minister just told the king of Gudi about summoning him, he had already mentioned that there was a green-faced Qizhou man sitting next to the envoy of the red-faced prince, and the old minister saw that he was about thirty years old, and the king of Gudi personally introduced him as the military advisor of the prince's envoy.
What the old minister never dreamed of was that the military advisor of the prince's envoy actually took the initiative to step forward and pull the old minister to a private meeting place after the old minister left the ancient land king's meeting hall.
The first thing he asked was, 'Can the old envoy know the demented mage of Chizhou?' The old minister was taken aback and hurriedly replied, "Of course, the demented mage is the master of this envoy!" ’
The military advisor was overjoyed and said: "It's really the senior brother, I heard the senior brother claim to be poor just now, and then look at the appearance of the senior brother, which is generally in line with what the master said." Senior brother, you are the master's open disciple, Jiesheng is the master's closed disciple, Jiesheng was entrusted by the master to inquire about the whereabouts of the senior brother in Xizhou, but I didn't expect to meet unexpectedly today. ’”
Xia Poor said that he was already so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and the faces of the Nandi King's father and daughter were also full of surprise and inexplicable looks.
After a pause to calm down his excited emotions, Xia Poor continued: "Your Majesty, princess, it was from the mouth of Lao Chen, the little junior brother who met unexpectedly, that Lao Chen learned more about the prince's envoy. It turned out that it was the old minister's master, the demented mage, who took the two princes of the prairie to Xiancao City, and there was a legend that later made a big fuss in Xiancao City to save the medicine fairy.
And since then, Lao Chen's master and the prince of the prairie have become old friends, and since then, Lao Chen's master, the demented mage, has lived in seclusion in the Blue Fog Mountain in Qizhou and practiced immortal arts with the medicine fairy as an apprentice.
The prince's envoy to Xizhou this time was the prince of Jiuxiancheng in the story, and another prince of Prairie Princess City stayed in the prairie and was busy directing military factories to work overtime to make chariots and weapons.
After the prince of Jiuxian City hurriedly crossed the sea to Qizhou, he first arrived at the Blue Fog Mountain, and the master of the medicine fairy and the old minister, the dementia mage, assigned the little junior brother of the old minister to accompany the prince's envoy to Xizhou to announce the news that the Haitians were about to invade the Xizhou continent, so there was the story of the prince's envoy making trouble in the ancient city palace today! Hehe! ”
After Xia Poor finished speaking, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and laughed, and the king of Nandi also smiled happily, and the princess also smiled brightly.
"Brother Xia, since you have the relationship between your junior brother, why don't you invite this extraordinary prince's envoy to come to New South City to meet this king?" The King of the Southland said seriously.
Xia Poor was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has already had this intention!" The old minister is not talented, but he looks at acquaintances. Regardless of the story and legend of the prince of the prairie, the old minister witnessed the prince's demeanor with his own eyes this morning, which was really like a flash of light in the dark night. The prince was not only burly and dignified, but also the old minister looked at his face and was sure that the prince was kind-hearted and loyal, and the old minister thought of the princess at that time! ”
Xia Poor looked at the princess when he said this, and the princess immediately understood, and a ray of red flashed on her face.
However, the king of Nandi didn't seem to understand the meaning of poverty, or maybe he asked knowingly, "What does the poor brother mean?" ”
Xia Poor turned his face to look at the king and said with a smile: "Didn't Your Majesty complain to the old minister many times that there is no prince Gongsun in the land of Xizhou who can be worthy of the princess of my Nandi Kingdom?" ”
There was a glint of excitement in the eyes of the King of the Southland, but the light quickly dimmed, "That prince of the prairie is extraordinary, and he may be married. ”
Xia Poor smiled and said: "Your Majesty does not need to be pessimistic, the prince has just returned from the world and is so young, it is unlikely that he will get married." That prince is indeed extraordinary, but my princess is even more unparalleled in the world. As long as His Majesty appreciates and the princess likes it, the old minister has a little junior brother to do the internal response, and the old minister's three-inch incorruptible tongue, he will definitely be able to invite the prince to Xinnancheng and let him stay by His Majesty and the princess with sincerity.
Once the prairie is reconciled with our southern country, we can join forces to fight against the seamen, and after defeating the seamen, Your Majesty and the princess will be able to dominate the Xizhou continent with the power of the prince of the steppe and the strong support of the steppe. ”
