Chapter Fifty-Eight: Marriage Proposal
The Gu worms in the king's body were all taken out by Zhou Shaolong, and then after explaining the functions of these two Gu worms, under the eyes of everyone, a flame rose in his hand, burning the Gu worms in his hand to the point that there were no ashes left, and at this time, in the only palace in the royal city, a thin old man in a black robe suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, howling miserably, and after a long time, his eyes were blood-red and he roared to the sky, "Whoever destroyed my natal silkworm Gu, I will definitely not let you go." ”
Well, the king on the bed groaned, his eyelids shook slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes, with Zhou Shaolong's ear power, plus standing so close, he instantly heard the king's soft groan, turned his head to look at him, smiled at Yushu and the others and said, "Your king is awake." As soon as these words came out, Princess Yushu, who was anxiously waiting over there, couldn't care about the image of the princess, and rushed to the king's bed in a few steps, lying on the edge of the collapse, looking at the thin and old king and crying, "Father, how are you?" ”
The king's originally cloudy eyes instantly cleared up a lot after seeing Princess Yushu, as if he had encountered antivirus software, and he looked a lot brighter, opened his mouth with difficulty, and made a very harsh and hoarse sound, as if a spoonful of red charcoal was thrown in the king's throat, but his face was still very peaceful, and the corners of his mouth turned lightly and said, "Shu'er, daddy is fine, come, help me up." Princess Yushu's tears fell instantly, nodded and helped the king to sit up, and General Jin, who was standing aside, instructed the maids around him to decoct the medicine according to Zhou Shaolong's prescription.
The king took a deep breath and tried to clear his head. Turning his head and looking around, he saw the queen waiting for the queen, General Jin, and a stranger, it was Zhou Shaolong. When he saw Zhou Shaolong, there was a slight doubt in his eyes, he glanced at General Jin, and asked out loud, "Who is this?" General Jin saw the king and asked, stepped forward and saluted respectfully. Lord. This is the Celestial Master invited by the last general, and it is the Celestial Master who has cured your condition. ”
"Oh!" After listening to General Jin's report, the king nodded clearly, and looked at Zhou Shaolong's eyes full of gratitude. Smile slightly. Try to squeeze out a kind look. But the wrinkles on his face did make his smile look particularly hideous, and the king said in a dumb voice, "Hehe. The Heavenly Master cured the widow's illness, but what do you want, as long as the widow has it, the widow will not be stingy. ”
Zhou Shaolong heard the king say this, and his heart was happy, although he couldn't look down on the mortal things here, but he looked at Princess Yushu who was sitting here beside the king, and saw that Princess Yushu was also smiling with a smile on her face, looking at herself with a little gratitude, and said with a slight smile, "No need, mortal things are not attractive to me, if the king really wants to thank me for saving your life, then you can marry this beautiful princess to me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold, the faces of the king and queen and General Jin all changed color wildly, Princess Yushu also looked at Zhou Shaolong in surprise, her little hand covered her slightly open mouth, they never thought that Zhou Shaolong would say such a thing, and the king's originally kind face also became extremely angry, which made him even more hideous, panting, and his dry fingers pointed at Zhou Shaolong's lips trembling and speechless, obviously angry, General Jin saw the change in the king, and immediately burst into a loud cheer, The long knife was unsheathed in an instant, and the person did flash in front of the king, looking at Zhou Shaolong with an unkind face.
Zhou Shaolong saw that they reacted so strongly, and looked at Princess Yushu who looked shocked, as well as your hideous king, Zhou Shaolong blinked and said with a smile, "I have a pill in my hand, called Longevity Pill, if a mortal eats one pill, it can increase the life span of the yang world by ten years, and a person can eat up to three pills in his life, I will take three pills of longevity pill as a dowry, and officially propose to the king, I don't know if the king can agree to this marriage for the sake of the boy's sincere heart." ”
At this time, the king looked like an old man of seventy or eighty years old, and his body was already extremely weak, even when Zhou Shaolong began to treat him, Zhou Shaolong didn't dare to treat him directly, but first took in a trace of life energy and restored some of the king's vitality, so he dared to get those insects out of his past body directly. Otherwise, it wouldn't be directly painful to death, and now with longevity as the temptation, Zhou Shaolong estimates that most of them will succeed.
The emperor listened to Zhou Shaolong's words, his face gradually changed from angry to calm, but he was thinking quickly about what in his heart, three longevity pills, one longevity pill can increase people's life span by ten years, those three are thirty years, he is already fifty five this year, just now this body, it is a blessing for God to live for another ten years, and the temptation to live for another thirty years is absolutely fatal for the king, thinking that one of his daughters can be exchanged for his thirty years of life, I can't help but think that this deal is worth making.
The king had not yet spoken, but his heart had already planned everything, and General Jin, who was standing in front of the king, did have an extremely ugly face, as if someone owed him millions and did not want to pay it back. Looking at Zhou Shaolong's smug expression, General Jin gritted his teeth and roared at Zhou Shaolong, "Delusional, let me tell you, Princess Yushu is the purest woman in our Tu'an, you are insulting her like this, we will not agree." "Oh? Zhou Shaolong looked at Princess Yushu with a red cloud on her face behind General Jin suspiciously, and then looked at the king with a complicated face, Zhou Shaolong nodded and said, "Since you are too little, then I will add some more things, 100,000 gold, 100,000 silver and 100,000 stone grain." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people present gasped without discomfort, hiss, this time the king couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, looked at Zhou Shaolong with bright eyes, and said with difficulty, "Is this true?" "Lord." General Jin looked at the king with some incredulity and said. After glancing at General Jin, the king didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Zhou Shaolong again, "Heavenly Master really wants to marry a little girl?" ”
Zhou Shaolong nodded, "That's right." The king frowned and asked, "The dowry is what you just said." Zhou Shaolong said, "That's right, it's what I said just now." The king took a deep breath and looked around him in silence. Yushu, whose eyes were red, nodded lightly and said, "In this case, the widow agreed, when you have gathered the dowry, I will marry Shu'er to you." ”
Hahaha, Zhou Shaolong laughed after hearing the king's words, and then said happily, "Since that's the case, you can name a place." I put things there. "What!" The king asked, puzzled.
"Stuff is on me. You say. Where do you put things? Zhou Shaolong said with a smile. I looked at the beautiful Princess Yushu again, and thought that this great beauty would be my wife soon, and my heart was full of joy. When the king heard Zhou Shaolong's words, his cloudy glasses flashed. Then he said excitedly. "You said you put all these things on you." "That's right." Zhou Shaolong said impatiently.
"Good. That's great. The king stood up excitedly, got out of bed, and his body seemed to be filled with strength in an instant. He didn't even wear shoes and bypassed General Jin, and came to Zhou Shaolong, "Where is the Longevity Pill?" Seeing that the king had already begun to ask for pills and dowry, General Jin glanced at Princess Yushu, whose eyes were red and weeping, with a sad face, gritted his teeth and lowered his head, and finally said nothing. Looking at the anxious king in front of him, Zhou Shaolong blinked and said softly, "You want to eat now?" The king nodded, "Yes, you give it to the widow." ”
Hehe, Zhou Shaolong laughed strangely, pointed at Princess Yushu, the king looked at Princess Yushu, and then instantly understood what Zhou Shaolong meant, and said to Princess Yushu, "Shu'er, from today on, you are the person of the Heavenly Master." Hearing the king's words, Princess Yushu raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Shaolong, then nodded obediently and did not speak.
Zhou Shaolong nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his right hand, and a small jade bottle suddenly appeared in his originally empty hand, "Inside this jade bottle is a longevity pill, you can increase your life for ten years if you eat it." When the king heard Zhou Shaolong's words, his face turned cold, and he said angrily, "Didn't you say three good ones?" How only one. Having said that, the king's hand still took the jade bottle.
"You can't take the pills together, otherwise the effects will overlap, and after eating one, you have to eat the next one five years later. But don't worry, when I get married to Yushu, I will give you those two longevity pills. After listening to Zhou Shaolong's explanation, the king's complexion eased slightly, and he hurriedly opened the small jade bottle, as soon as the small jade bottle was opened, a strange fragrance came from the small jade bottle, and the backhand fell, a small green round ball appeared in the king's old hand, the king's hand trembled very much, and then the ecstatic king raised his head and put the longevity pill into his mouth, after the longevity pill was taken, he saw a pale green light rising from the king's body, the pale hair gradually turned black, and the wrinkles on the face gradually faded, after a while, The king in front of Zhou Shaolong changed from an old man to a middle-aged man, and his thin body became stronger, and no one noticed that the green light was actually shot out by Zhou Shaolong......
This is the effect of Zhou Shaolong's Longevity Pill, in fact, this elixir is not called Longevity Pill, but called Fitness Pill, which is a pill refined according to Chi Xiaozi's memory. The effect is to enhance people's physique, although there are some effects on increasing life expectancy, and the age of this king is not very old, he is only in his fifties, as long as the health pill directly digests his body, and Zhou Shaolong secretly crosses a trace of life energy, he is not young It is strange.
The change in the king's body surprised everyone, and it was a miracle that an old man could become a middle-aged man in less than a moment. General Jin looked at the king incredulously, and only after a long time did he get down on one knee and congratulate loudly, "Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord." Rejuvenate and live longer. ”
Hahaha let out a long laugh, the king nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand to General Jin, "Very good, the widow feels very well." As he spoke, he turned to look at Princess Yushu and said, "Shu'er, you have also seen how miraculous the Heavenly Master's methods are, and if you marry him, you will definitely not suffer hardship." ”
Princess Yushu looked at the king, then at Zhou Shaolong, and nodded indifferently, but Zhou Shaolong still saw a trace of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes. Although he couldn't bear to be persecuted like this, Zhou Shaolong thought that Yushu would be sent to Qin Shi Huang a year later, and then things would be in trouble, and Zhou Shaolong didn't like trouble.
Came to the palace treasury, Zhou Shaolong waved one hand, 100,000 catties of gold and 100,000 catties of silver, or 100,000 catties of rice appeared behind Zhou Shaolong, and the accompanying General Jin was stunned suddenly, his eyes widened, and then rubbed his eyes and looked at the treasury. looked at Zhou Shaolong in front of him again, "This, this." Zhou Shaolong smiled when he saw General Jin's expression, "You go check it?" ”
General Kim nodded and waved his hand to his soldiers, who all entered the treasury and began to check. Zhou Shaolong didn't look at these people, turned around and said, "Arrange a place for me, I need to take a break." General Jin nodded, and General Jin was silent along the way, just bowing his head and hurrying away. (To be continued......)
