Chapter 61: The Sunshine Man
When Captain Bei returned to the council hall with the guests, King Guhe and his officials greeted the guests with a smile on their faces.
The national teacher spoke first, and he said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Bidan, I am a descendant of the grassland red people, my grandfather followed the king of heaven here, and later stayed in Princess City because my grandfather met Guhe's grandmother.
Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is urgent, and the king of my family and I are anxious. It's not that I'm too timid to go out of the city to fight to the death with King Wanghai, but because King Wanghai got a fish-man gunboat after a tsunami three years ago, and there was no fish-man on that boat, and the people of Wanghai King actually learned how to operate the fish-man's gunboat after three years of tinkering.
King Wanghai had always dreamed of occupying Princess City and becoming the emperor of Qizhou, so he launched an attack on Princess City as soon as he could drive the fish-man's demon ship. Every time we waited to go out of the city to counterattack, the soldiers were beaten to the ground by the cannonballs fired by the fish-man's demon ships, and the scene would terrify the bravest soldiers.
My prince Ke led people to attack the demon ship last night and was arrested, and the king of Wanghai has issued an ultimatum to my king to surrender the city before dark today, otherwise he will kill the prince first and then let the demon ship blow up the princess city, but my king swears to live and die with the princess city.
It's a pity that the princess city built by the king a hundred years ago and the lives of more than 30,000 people in the city will be destroyed in a flash. ”
Shang Lin couldn't help but feel angry in his heart when he heard that the Sea King was going to bomb Princess City, and said angrily: "King, national teacher, everyone, we have just heard from General Bei that King Wanghai invaded Princess City in order to dominate Qizhou, and we will definitely help you destroy the fish-man's gunboat first!" However, before that, we have to think about rescuing Prince Ke first. ”
As soon as Shanglin's words came out, all the people in the room stood up excitedly, and the general Fuke was even more proud and generous: "Messenger of the Heavenly King, as long as you rescue my prince and destroy the abominable demon ship of the fishman, the rest of the war will be wrapped up in Fuke, and I will lead the soldiers of the whole city to drive all the Wanghai people to the valley river to feed the fish!" ”
King Guhe said excitedly: "If the envoy of the king of heaven can rescue my prince, it will be a great favor, but my king of Ke is undoubtedly heavily guarded by the king of Wanghai, I don't know what kind of trick the envoy of the king of heaven has to save people?" ”
Shanglin said: "The king can send an envoy to inform the king of Wanghai that the envoy of the king of heaven has arrived in the princess city, and the envoy of the king of heaven is willing to mediate the war between the kingdom of Guhe and the kingdom of Wanghai, including the surrender of the princess city, but before that, the king of Wanghai must ensure the safety of Prince Ke." ”
King Guhe's excited heart immediately cooled down, and he said helplessly: "The envoy of the Heavenly King does not know, this King of the Sea has always been untrustworthy, and now the demon ship that relies on the fishman is even more empty-eyed, and it is impossible for us to convince him of the prestige of the envoy of the Heavenly King with just a piece of paper." ”
"We know this, and this is just a delaying tactic, because we need to wait for the weather to clear up and there will be at least half a day of sunshine before we have enough energy to rescue Prince Ke's gunboat to destroy the fishmen."
Shanglin's very sincere words were like throwing an air-conditioner bomb in the conference hall, and the eager expectations that emerged in the hearts of King Guhe and the others suddenly cooled down. It made Morley's suspicion rise a hundred times, and he sank his face to Shanglin Dao:
"This historian can't understand, why did the Heavenly King's envoy wait for the sky to clear for half a day before he started? King Wanghai has issued an ultimatum to kill the prince if the king of my family does not surrender before dark today. ”
"Because this companion needs at least half a day of sunlight to replenish his energy to destroy the fish-man's gunboat." Shanglin pointed at Ah Hu and replied patiently.
Mo Li glanced up and down at the expressionless Ah Hu and asked coldly, "May I ask this warrior, why do you need sunlight to replenish energy?" ”
Ah Hu was disgusted by the unfriendly question of the old green-faced cat man in front of him, and shot back in a cold voice: "No comment!" ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and the King of the Valley River sat back on his throne weakly and looked around blankly.
Mo Li thought that Ah Hu was weak-hearted, and turned to the king of Guhe and said, "King, the words of the visitor are contradictory! They first claimed to save the prince's demon ship, and then said that they would wait for the sky to clear for half a day before they could do it. Today happens to be a rainy day, and I don't know when there will be a sunny and red day. What's more, since ancient times, they have eaten food to replenish energy, but they said that they should use sunlight to replenish energy. It seems that our suspicion just now is correct, and the king cannot be deceived and delay national affairs. ”
When Kapok Zi heard this, he couldn't help but shout: "Hey, if you don't believe it, just wait and see, don't slander good people!" Otherwise, we'll go first. ”
Shanglin said patiently: "King, everyone, what I said does sound a little incredible, but Ah Hu is not an ordinary person, let's talk about your image, he is a sunny person, and in our world, he needs sunlight to replenish the energy in his body." Last night, we encountered a fierce beast in the mountains, and Ah Hu destroyed it, consuming most of the energy stored in the body. ”
The national master of Bidan had a calm face and said to the king of Guhe: "Great king, the envoy of the king of heaven cannot comment according to the insight of ordinary people. Then he turned his face to Shanglin and said with a smiling face: "The king of my family has always been upright and broad-minded, but now he is facing the critical moment when the country is broken, and the king of the family cannot be delayed for a moment. Since you are the envoy of the Heavenly King, you must have the token of the Heavenly King with you, can you show it to my king, so that my king can dispel his doubts and act according to the advice of the messenger of the king. ”
Faced with the situation in front of him, Kapok immediately remembered the scene when his father had just met Ah Hu, so he said to Ah Hu: "Ah Hu, do you still have the energy to perform light skills?" ”
Ah Hu didn't say anything, just stood up. Then, in full view of everyone, I saw his body slowly rise, until he stayed more than a meter above the ground for a moment and then slowly fell, and finally sat back in his seat without saying a word.
King Guhe and his officials were dumbfounded by what had just happened in front of them.
"Hey, you guys believe it now, as long as enough sunlight is added, Ah Hu can easily destroy the fish-man's gunboat." Kapok said proudly at King Guhe and the others.
"The king believes it, but it's a rainy day..."
Before King Guhe's words fell, a shout rang out at the door: "Report to the king, the envoy of the King of Wanghai has arrived, saying that the three princes of Wanghai Kingdom are going to compete with the envoy of the King of Heaven!" If the Celestial King's Messenger does not agree, he will immediately kill Prince Ke. "It was Captain Pei who spoke.
King Guhe set his sights on Uebayashi, who in his opinion was the leader of the five visitors.
Shanglin said: "Don't worry, the king, we can compete with swords." Does the king know how the swordsmanship of the three princes of Wanghai Kingdom is? ”
"This king has heard that those three princes are known as the Three Musketeers of Qizhou. As for the swordsmanship, it is not yet known. After speaking, King Guhe looked at the national teacher, obviously asking the national teacher to express his opinion.
The national teacher comprehended, got up and said: "Messenger of the Heavenly King, although Bi Dan has not fought with the prince of Wanghai, I have heard that their swordsmanship is not low, but according to Bi Dan's understanding of swordsmanship, those three Wanghai kings will not practice swordsmanship for ten years, so the swordsmanship may not be unbeatable. Qizhou is not big, even if the Three Musketeers of Qizhou live up to their name, there is nothing remarkable. However, when Bidan heard that the sword in their hand was a sword obtained from Xizhou for a lot of money, Bidan thought that it should be true. The angels of the king of heaven should be doubly careful when they compete with their swords. ”
"Thank you for the reminder! For the sake of Prince K's safety, we must fight him, but the condition of the sword contest is that if we win, they must immediately release Prince Kat and evacuate Princess City. It's just that the sword time has to wait for the sky to be clear, the national teacher is erudite and versatile, do you know that the celestial phenomena can predict when the sky will be clear? ”
Receiving Shanglin's praise, the national teacher said with a smile: "Messenger of the Heavenly King, Bi Dan has indeed studied the celestial phenomena, I have observed the celestial phenomena in the morning, and I predict that it will be sunny this afternoon. ”
"Good! To be on the safe side, we're setting the time for tomorrow morning! After speaking, Shanglin turned to the King of the Valley River, "King, what do you think?" ”
Without hesitation, the King of Guhe turned to Captain Bei and ordered: "Convey the words of the Heavenly King's envoy to the envoy of the Sea King!"
"Yes!"
Captain Pei led the way out, but soon ran back.
"Report to the king, the envoy of Wanghai said that he could agree to the conditions of the sword competition of the envoy of the king of heaven, but he did not listen to the repeated explanations of the general and insisted on the sword competition at noon today, otherwise Prince Ke's life would not be guaranteed."
"How can it be!" King Guhe scolded, and then looked at Shang Lin with a helpless expression: "Heavenly King Envoy, what do you think?" ”
Shanglin looked at Ah Hu, and Ah Hu said, "Then rescue the prince first." ”
Shanglin turned his face to King Guhe and said, "King, promise them to compete with swords at noon, and the King must hurry up and make all preparations to rescue Prince Ke." ”
