Chapter 153: Guess the Odds

"Ninth brother, do you know what's inside?"

Yin Xun shook his head and said to Yin Mu: "The part that my brother touched felt smooth, cold, curved, and sharp at the top, I don't know why. ”

I don't know why it's so clear, obviously trying to leave the clue to the next person.

Fu Mingyue sat down at the bottom of Yin Mu, raised her head and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the concubines also want to try it." ”

"Go ahead." The Queen Mother nodded at her.

Fu Mingyue also reached in and touched it for a while, and then said with a smile: "The place where the concubine touched it was warm, as thin as a rope whip, rough, and seemed to move." The concubines didn't know what it was. ”

Wu Guda showed a smug look on his face, Yin Che saw this, sneered, thinking that there could be any good things in the poor place of the Southern Barbarian Country, so he also went over, reached in and touched it.

At this touch, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and Yin Mu hurriedly asked, "Does the fourth brother know what this is?" ”

Yin Che thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's warm, it seems to have short hair, it's as thin as a fan, and it seems to move." ”

"Oh?" Everyone was deep in thought, how could these three people touch differently?

Then other ministers also volunteered to touch it, but what they touched was not the same, and the situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

Yin Mu thought intently, and suddenly someone pulled his sleeve, Yin Mu lowered his head, and when he saw that it was Yin Zhixuan, he picked her up and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong Zhixuan?" ”

"Father, I want to touch that thing too."

"Do you want to too?" Yin Mu felt funny, patted her little head and was about to speak, when the Queen Mother spoke: "Let her go, the child thinks less, maybe she can really find out what it is." ”

Yin Mu hesitated for a moment, then put down Yin Zhixuan. Yin Zhixuan ran over, stretched out her little hand to touch it inside, and said with a smile after touching it: "Grandma Huang, father, Zhixuan knows what is inside!" ”

"Oh? What is it? The Queen Mother asked her lovingly.

Yin Zhixuan opened his palm and said, "It's big, round and tall, it's a big bucket!" ”

Wu Guda laughed and said, "Wrong, wrong, not a bucket." ”

Yin Zhixuan saw him laughing at himself, glared at him, and pouted: "What is there to be proud of, the holy relics of your Southern Barbarian Country are still hidden every day from being shown to others, of course people don't know what they are." Unlike our Li country, there are good things that are distributed to the whole world, and the things of our Li country can be recognized by even children in any country! ”

Wu Guda's smile stiffened, and he looked at Yin Zhixuan dumbfounded.

Yin Zhixuan made a grimace at him with her eyes, and then quickly ran back to the Queen Mother, and was hugged by the Queen Mother and sat down on her lap.

When all the ministers below saw that he was rushed by a child and had nothing to say, they couldn't help but want to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud because of etiquette.

Bai Junzhuo was also choked enough, and lowered his head to Lu Kang beside him: "Actually, I already knew what was in here." It's just that Master Yin told me not to be too conspicuous, otherwise I would have said it. ”

"Oh? What is it? Lu Kang asked curiously.

"Yes......" Bai Junzhuo was whispering, and the Queen Mother suddenly looked over here and asked her, "Bai Aiqing seems to have something to say?" ”

"No, no, I didn't ......" Bai Junzhuo hurriedly waved his hand.

"Bai Aiqing stepped forward and touched it." The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully at her.

Bai Junzhuo didn't know what to do, glanced at Yin Xun, saw him showing encouraging eyes, and nodded lightly to her, then stood up and said, "No need, I have already guessed what it is from everyone's description just now." ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

"It's an elephant." Bai Junzhuo said: "The Nine Princes said that it was smooth, cold and sharp, and he touched the teeth of the elephant; Concubine Shu said that it was as slender as a whip, and she touched her tail; The fourth prince said that it was as thin as a fan, but he touched his ears; The little princess is short, and she can only touch the bottom, and what she touches is the elephant's leg. Moreover, the southern elephant is known all over the world, and the holy object in it must be an elephant. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Reasonable." Prince, is she right? ”

Wu Guda's ears were as red as burning, and he stared at Bai Junzhuo with three points of surprise and seven points of anger, and then snorted coldly: "That's right, it's an elephant, I lost." ”

Immediately, Wu Guda instructed his subordinates to lift the red cloth and open the cage, and said to the Queen Mother: "I send the holy elephant of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom to the Queen Mother of the Li Kingdom, and I wish the Queen Mother eternal grace." ”

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and the phoenix crown given by the four princes on her head shook gently. "This gift has been accepted by the mourners."

"Would the Queen Mother be willing to come and pull this elephant out of the cage in person to show the power of the Queen Mother's master?" Uguda pleaded.

The Queen Mother thought about it, nodded and got up, Yin Mu hurriedly spoke: "Queen Mother, beasts will inevitably hurt people, it is better to ......"

"It doesn't matter." The Queen Mother comforted her and walked to the front of the cage.

As soon as she stopped and wanted to stretch out her hand, the elephant raised its head to the sky and roared, as if it had received some kind of command, and raised its foot to step on the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother!" All the ministers screamed, and the Queen Mother's eyes widened, and although she was a little frightened, she did not show any panic, and looked straight at the elephant.

Just when the soles of the elephant's feet were really about to fall on the head of the queen mother, three people flashed out of a yellow, a black and a white next to them, the black clothes kicked away the elephant's legs, the white clothes jumped on the elephant's head, and the palm slashed at the elephant's neck, and the yellow clothes pulled the queen mother away and took the queen mother to a safe place.

No one knew how strong the man in white was, and he actually made a huge elephant lie straight down, and the sound shook the sky, and the dust suddenly flew up.

When the dust cleared, everyone saw clearly that the man in yellow who took away the queen mother was the fourth prince Yin Che, and the man in black who kicked the elephant's leg away was the female general Hongyin, and the one who subdued the elephant was Lu Kang, the leader of the Chinese army who had been unknown all along.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the elephant who was subdued by the two of them, speechless for a long time.

"Heh......" The Queen Mother's demeanor did not diminish at all, and she looked at Wu Guda with a sneer.

Wu Guda's face was full of surprise, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, this elephant has always been tame and will not hurt people, I don't know why she suddenly went crazy tonight and attacked the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother stared at him for a long time, as if she wanted to see him through. Seeing that Wu Guda was sweating, the Queen Mother turned around and silently returned to her position, and said to him casually: "Get up, the beast is untamable, and the mourning family will naturally not blame you for this." ”

Wu Guda wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and stood up.

The Queen Mother said to Lu Kang again: "Lu Aiqing is brave and brave, and he has a meritorious rescue, and a reward of 10,000 taels." And this elephant will be given to you. ”

Lu Kang saw that the elephant had fallen lightly and would not cause any more danger for the time being, so he got down from the elephant, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager." ”

The Queen Mother opened her mouth again and rewarded Hongyin and Yin Che, and then looked at Wu Guda again, and said with a smile: "Before playing this game, the prince said that if he guessed it, he would promise us a condition, I don't know if it counts?" ”

Wu Guda hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I can do whatever I want, but it can't be related to state affairs." ”

"Nature." The Queen Mother nodded, looked at Bai Junzhuo and said, "Bai Aiqing, since you guessed it, you can make this request." ”

"Me?" Bai Junzhuo pointed at himself, looked at Yin Xun again, and saw Yin Xun nodding to her, so he thought about it, rolled his eyes, and said: "Today's Queen Mother's birthday, the whole world celebrates, why don't the prince dance to help the Queen Mother." ”

When Wu Guda heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, his face was full of reluctance, Yin Zhixuan clapped his little hand and said: "Haha, Zhixuan also wants to watch dancing, if you don't dance, you don't talk, and if you don't talk, it's a big bear!" ”

Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and snickered, that's right, this girl looks like a big bear.

Wu Guda was helpless, took a deep breath for a long time, and had to twist his stout body to dance. A rough man twists his body into various postures, this picture is too beautiful for normal people to dare to look at.

Lu Kang packed up the elephant and returned to his seat, Bai Junzhuo took advantage of the fact that everyone was intoxicated by the rough man's dance, and asked Lu Kang in a low voice: "The fourth prince is not born to the Queen Mother, right?" ”

"No, the master is not born to the Queen Mother." Lu Kang was a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "What is the white girl asking for this?" ”

"Master Yin was not born to the Queen Mother, but was the Queen Mother raised from childhood to adulthood?" Bai Junzhuo didn't answer him and continued to ask.

Lu Kang nodded: "Yes, the master's mother died in childbirth, and the master has been raised by the queen mother's side since he was a child. ”

"What about the four princes?"

"The mother of the fourth prince is still alive, so naturally she was not raised by the queen mother."

Bai Junzhuo nodded, and couldn't help frowning.

"What is the White Maiden worried about?" Lu Kang said with concern.

"The relationship between Yin Xun and the Queen Mother is definitely closer than that between the Four Princes and the Queen Mother. It was so dangerous just now, the emperor was weak and didn't know martial arts, so it was understandable that he didn't sacrifice himself to save the queen mother. But Yin Xun is strong in martial arts, but he has been drinking calmly just now, and he doesn't go to save the Queen Mother......" Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Isn't he afraid that the Queen Mother will have prejudices against him?" ”

"It turned out that I was worried about my master." Lu Kang said with a smile: "The white girl must not say much, you also know that someone secretly persecuted the master, making the master have a strange poison in his body." Therefore, the master has always pretended not to know martial arts, and everyone in the court and China also thought that the master was sick and weak, so he was able to temporarily peace. Of course, the Queen Mother would not blame him. ”

Bai Junzhuo suddenly realized and nodded. Looking up, Wu Guda danced and danced, and he was already sweating profusely.

On the stage, the Queen Mother hugged Yin Zhixuan and peeled peanuts for her to eat. Yin Zhixuan's little feet fluttered, and she was happy to eat.

Looking down and seeing the Queen Mother's upright legs, Bai Junzhuo was suddenly stunned and asked Lu Kang: "Why is the Queen Mother wearing boots?" ”

Lu Kang looked at her suspiciously, puzzled: "Why can't the Queen Mother wear boots?" It's normal to wear boots in this weather. ”

"Shouldn't all the ladies in the palace wear embroidered shoes, and the texture of these boots is so strange......" Bai Junzhuo frowned, not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong with you, White Girl?" Lu Kang frowned and asked, "Why have you been suspicious since just now?" ”

"The elephant was in the cage just now, so many people touched it, and it was not irritable, why did it become irritable when he saw the Queen Mother?" Bai Junzhuo turned his face to look at him, "Don't you think it's strange?" ”

Lu Kang frowned, and suddenly said, "Could it be ......?"
