Chapter 60: Unidentified
As soon as the guests walked out of the council room, the historian Morley stood up and said, "My lord, ladies and gentlemen, these five people walked in untidy clothes and opened their mouths to beg for food from the king, how can this be like the messenger of the king of heaven?" It's clearly a group of poor liars who have no fixed place, looking at that fat man, he must have been cheated and his head was broken. The king, you must not give food to such liars, but cut off their heads. ”
The historian's words were immediately supported by most of the officials in the house, and their impression of the visitors was also very bad, and they all got up and spoke to the king of Guhe:
"Great King, the historian is right, how could the messenger of the King of Heaven run to the mountain to spend the night? When he said this, it fully shows that they are a group of swindlers who have no land to beg for money. I have long heard that there is a group of drunkards in Yelang Town, Tianling Kingdom, who have no money to drink and dye themselves red-faced with red tree sap, and then say that it is the messenger of the King of Heaven who deceives them around. ”
"King, it is said that the red man of the prairie is tall and big, and these five visitors are not tall and have no beard on their faces, either they are a few underage liars, or they can't grow a beard because they have been smeared with mangrove sap all year round. They dare to take advantage of our time of danger to deceive, and they must not be spared!"
"King, the situation is so critical, this group of people entered the door and kept their mouths shut about how to retreat, but they first had to eat and drink. Where is the slightest hint of the demeanor of the king's envoy? I bet they'll have to ask the king for pearls and gold in a little while. According to the law of the country of the valley of the valley, the maximum penalty for a liar is the death penalty. ”
……
Except for the national teacher and the general who did not express their opinions, the other officials in the house unanimously said that they would severely punish the five petty liars.
King Guhe said sadly: "Alas, at first glance, this king also thinks that something is very wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, the Wanghai soldiers surrounded Princess City, how could the liars of Tianling Kingdom enter the city?" ”
The historian said: "My lord, it must be that the people of Wanghai know that there is not much food in my city, and they deliberately put in some begging liars and the like to make the food in my city consume faster." ”
King Guhe shook his head and said: "The historian is too small to visit the Sea King, he has already issued an ultimatum to restrict the king to go out of the city and surrender before dark, how can he play such a little trick!" ”
"King! They are assassins! The Great General Falk suddenly stood up and screamed, startling everyone in the room.
General Falk said emotionally: "King, everyone, on the battlefield, is there such a thing? One party shouted: Hi, friend! Let's compete with swords to see who is better, and if I win, you will line up and welcome us into the city!" The other party smiled and replied: Okay! If I win, you'll see us home!" ”
There was a burst of laughter in the room that had not been seen for a long time, and the king of Guhe couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
The general had a smug smile on his face, and then he said impassionedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Wanghai saw that we were unwilling to surrender for a long time, and he wanted to protect the princess city so that it could be used by him in the future, so he came up with such a vicious trick!"
Send an assassin to the palace to assassinate the king, if my king misses, Princess City will be his. If we send young and strong assassins, we will see through it at a glance, so the King of the Sea sent a few small assassins with beardless faces into battle. The King of Wanghai knew that we were looking forward to the Heavenly King's rescue, so he found these strange-looking people in the Tianling Kingdom and disguised themselves as red people, and then after some training, the messenger who claimed to be the Heavenly King entered the palace to approach the king. Ladies and gentlemen, why are these five wearing cloaks? Because there is a poisonous sword hidden in the cloak! ”
"The general has a point!" Several officials shouted in unison.
King Guhe saw that the national master of Bidan still bowed his head and was silent, and his stomach rushed to the top of his head with resentment, and said angrily: "National teacher, you said that the king of heaven sent someone to save him, but now it's good, the people of the king of heaven will come to a group of assassins in the future, what kind of system will it be to let this king stand at the door and salute the assassins?" Now what do you have to say! ”
King Guhe pointed at the national teacher and was almost about to scold.
The national teacher lowered his head as if he didn't hear the scolding of King Guhe, and after a while, he raised his head and suddenly laughed loudly: "Hehe......, hehe......."
Sitting and laughing was not enough, he stood up and laughed loudly: "Hey, hey......".
Everyone was shocked, and Morley pointed at Bidan and shouted: "King, the national teacher is crazy!" ”
"Bidan isn't crazy!" The national teacher stopped laughing and said loudly, "Bidan laughs because if they are the messengers of the Heavenly King, the way the envoys dress up makes people laugh. If they were liars, it would be the last time Bidan laughed, and it would be worth laughing and dying for a thousand-year-old trick. ”
"It's not the last moment, and the national teacher said that the word death is very unlucky!" Falk said dissatisfied.
"This is the last moment! If they are not the messengers of the Heavenly King, they will die if they surrender or not, and they will die rather than die as slaves! The national teacher shouted.
King Guhe's face turned into anger and sadness: "Alas, the spirit of the national teachers is commendable, but the general thinks that they are not liars but assassins sent by King Wanghai. ”
The national teacher said: "King, if they are assassins, then the King of Wanghai will underestimate us. If the five little assassins wearing cloaks in this hall can hurt the king, Bidan and I have practiced swordsmanship for decades, Falk is called the general in vain, and the captain Bei and his dozens of guards outside the door are all rice buckets! ”
King Guhe said with a happy face: "The national teacher thinks that they are really the messengers of the Heavenly King? ”
"At this time, my lord, if the visitor is a liar, it means that the king has abandoned us, and we deserve to die! If they are really the messengers of the king, but we are driven away as liar assassins, then we are seeking our own death! "The national teacher is righteous and righteous.
King Guhe had an epiphany, he stood up suddenly, and said to everyone in a resolute tone: "This king understands! At this point, it is better to believe the truth than to guess the falsehood. I'm waiting for my life to bet on these few people! ”
Speaking of this, the king turned his face to the national teacher and asked sincerely: "National teacher, did I have any rudeness to the visitor just now?" ”
The national teacher smiled: "Although the king has doubts, the king has good etiquette!" ”
King Guhe was overjoyed: "Great! Come! ”
Immediately from outside the door, a guard ran in.
King Guhe ordered: "You go and inform Captain Bei quickly, and ask him to respond to the Heavenly King's envoy!" The king and all of you will not eat any of your lunch today, but will leave it all for the king's messenger to eat! ”
