Chapter Fifty-Nine: The King's New Clothes
At a meeting, Li Chao felt very satisfied, and the most important thing was that he found out the bottom of the fairy.
"Compared to witches, fairies are much more mysterious, but fairies are also much more fragile than witches, believe in it, don't believe in it, and the power of the fairy can't directly act on people who don't believe in her, this is the blind spot of the fairy." Li Chao sat in the carriage and carefully thought about his next plan, "It's very simple to defeat the fairy, just break the mountains and temples, break all feudal superstitions, and sweep away all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”
"What feudal superstitions?" Cinderella raised her head in a daze, "What bull ghost snake god?" ”
What are they? She hadn't heard of it.
"Nothing." Li Chao snorted and turned his head, "I'm just thinking about whether to believe in the fairy." ”
"Oh."
The carriage soon reached the castle, and he asked the butler to arrange for Cinderella to start signing the papers, but he had not signed two papers before the chief of the guard entered.
"Your Majesty, two weavers have asked to see you."
"Weaver? Still asking to see me? Li Chao raised his head and put down the quill in his hand, "What are they asking to see me for?" ”
"They said they had invented a very magical cloth and wanted to present it to His Majesty." The chief of the guard said softly, "If His Majesty does not want to see them, I will go and drive them away now." ”
"Nope."
Li Chao waved his hand and stopped the chief guard, "I want to see them now." ”
He wanted to see what kind of magic cloth the weaver could bring.
When they arrived in the hall, Li Chao saw two young men in coarse cloth clothes sitting on a stool, and when they saw Li Chao coming, they quickly stood up and saluted, but there was no nervous look on their faces.
Li Chao sat on the main seat casually, glanced at the two of them, and asked casually, "Are you weavers?" ”
"Yes." A young man said, "Dear Your Majesty, we are your courtiers, I am Jerry, he is Yami, and the two of us have invented a cloth that no one in this world has ever seen, so we intend to weave it and present it to His Majesty the Great King." ”
Yami saw that Jerry finished speaking, and immediately said, "The pattern of this cloth is very beautiful, but the most important thing is that it has a very magical place. ”
After speaking, Yami stared at Li Chao, waiting for Li Chao to ask, but he didn't wait for Li Chao to ask him for a long time, so he could only say it himself, "The magic of this kind of cloth is that people who are very stupid or who don't match his position can't see it." ”
Poof......
The corners of Li Chao's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help laughing, what is it called a very stupid person or someone who doesn't match his position can't see the cloth? Isn't that what "The King's New Clothes" is about? Unexpectedly, these two liars actually deceived him, and he admired the courage of these two very much, "Two liars...... No, no, it's two weavers, can you show me the cloth you weave? ”
"Not right now."
"Why?"
"Because we haven't woven this cloth yet." Jerry said, "We need the king's help to weave this amazing cloth. ”
"But if you don't show me the cloth, how can I believe that you can really weave this cloth or that you are lying to me?" Li Chao looked at the two liars with a smile, "I want to see the proof, and if there is no evidence, I will treat you as liars." ”
Jerry frowned, this was different from his script, he thought about it, and immediately said: "Actually, I do have a little magical cloth here, but this magical cloth is very rare. ”
After a pause, Jerry added, "But we can prove ourselves a little bit of it." ”
"Take it out and take a look!" Li Chao said casually.
Jerry immediately took out a piece of cloth, he took it off with Yami, and then said to Li Chao: "This is the magical cloth in my mouth, but people who are very stupid or who don't match his position can't see this batch of cloth." ”
Poof......
The corners of Li Chao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't hold back his laughter again, the king's new clothes were really re-staged in front of him, these two liars actually had the audacity to come and deceive him, and they really regarded him as a mediocre king.
Jerry and Yami had nothing in their hands at all.
He pursed his lips and asked the chief of the guard, "Go and see this cloth, chief of the guard, and see if the cloth woven by these two weavers is really as miraculous as they say." ”
The chief guard glanced up at the cloth in the hands of Jerry and Yami, the two weavers, and only felt that the cloth was very good, and he immediately said to Li Chao: "Dear Your Majesty, this cloth is very good, and the patterns on it are also very beautiful, if you use it to make clothes, it must be very beautiful." ”
“……。”
Li Chao glanced at the chief of the guard speechlessly, and then at the empty hands of the two liars, and after a long time, he sighed, "Your Excellency the chief of the guard, did you really see a very beautiful cloth?" ”
The chief of the guard glanced at the cloth in the weaver's hand, the pattern was very beautiful, whether it was the pattern or the color, it was matched to the extreme, and he felt very pleasant to the eye at a glance, and it must be very beautiful to use as a dress for His Majesty.
Thinking of this, the chief of the guard hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I really saw a very beautiful cloth, if you use it to make your clothes, it must be very beautiful." ”
"Do you really think it could serve as my new clothes?" Li Chao glanced at the chief guard deeply, "Do you 'really' think it's very beautiful, not to cater to me?" ”
"Yes, I am definitely not saying that the cloth is very beautiful in order to cater to His Majesty the King." The chief of the guard swore and said, "I really think it's very beautiful, I assure you." ”
"Go and call Cinderella."
"Yes."
Soon, Cinderella came, and without waiting for Li Chao to ask, she grabbed the cloth from the weaver's hand and looked at it, "What a beautiful cloth, what a beautiful pattern, this kind of cloth must be very beautiful when used to make clothes." ”
Li Chao looked at Cinderella's empty hands, and then looked at her expression, and suddenly felt that this 'king's new clothes' was a bit not simple, the chief guard might have deceived him because of the weaver's words, but Cinderella didn't hear the weaver's words, she was not affected by the weaver from beginning to end, and now, she also said the same thing as the chief guard, there is something strange in this.
Li Chao's eyes flashed, he glanced at the two liars, and suddenly said, "Jerry, Yami, I want to use this magical cloth to make clothes, I want you to weave this cloth quickly." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty the King!"
"As you wish, Great King!"
