Chapter 25: The Rules of the King of the Eastern Frontier
The three boys just sat under the willow tree together and took a sip of wine with a wine glass, and the picture that should have been harmonious changed abruptly, and the three boys who had just been like friends for many years grabbed the wine jar together, and a sip of wine made three very good friends scramble. The world's four famous wines are not boasted about in vain. In the end, the three of them drank all the wine in the wine jar with a disgraced face, their faces turned red, and they helped each other back to Ruilai Building.
Xuanyuan Badao's nose began to sharpen again, and as soon as the three of them stepped into the threshold of the restaurant, they saw the old man looking at them with a hideous face.
"Drunk?"
"Yes. ”
"Spring rain brewing?"
The three of them looked at each other and nodded silently. ". With an angry howl, the eyes of the local tyrants who were talking about business on the first floor were all looked over, and the three of them deserved to be beaten, and the cultivation of the Nine Realms wanted to beat themselves for fun. Before the drunkenness dissipated, the three of them staggered to their respective doors, stopped together, "This wine, this beating, it's worth it" pushed open the door.
Early the next morning, the pheasant sat on the wine table and ate breakfast, the atmosphere was very unusual, Xuanyuan Ba's sword qi had not disappeared, Li Futu hurriedly finished eating and went out, listening to Chen Huangchao say that there was a task for him to do, the pheasant smiled, pulled Ye Yingying and Xuanyuan knife and ran out, who couldn't eat under the powerful aura of the Nine Realms of cultivation, who let Xuanyuan Badao deliberately release the cultivation. It is estimated that he will also go out in the afternoon and go to the door of a restaurant to block the drink, and Aunt Wang Xiaohua is estimated to beat him. It's still very relieving to think about it. "Pheasant, that's my grandfather, it's good to give face. Xuanyuan said.
The three of them walked casually, holding each other's hands, the mood of the young men was extremely embarrassing, the street was very lively, crowded with people, and if they didn't hold hands, they would definitely get lost, "Hey, where are you going next." Ye Yingying took Xuanyuan Knife's hand and asked, Xuanyuan Knife covered his face with his other hand, and his shy expression was very shy, "Just go wherever you like." After speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, Ye Yingying pointed at him and covered her mouth with her hands widening her eyes, "Where is the pheasant?"
The pheasant was also very depressed, he held hands and walked, and a shy voice came from behind him, "This little brother, it's not good to hold someone's hand like this, I don't know which son you are." He suddenly turned his head and saw the jade hand he was holding in his hand, and a delicate-looking young woman looked at him with a slight red face, as if she had made a mistake. "I'm sorry I got the wrong person. With that, he ran, and the girl's complaining voice came from behind him. The pheasant didn't dare to turn back and ran around, and finally ran to hide in a carriage, the carriage was carrying some vegetables, the pheasant looked at it, lay in the carriage and thought, "This is discarded, wait for the grandpa of the sword to go back when his anger is gone." He closed his eyes and began to meditate. The wheels of the carriage began to turn.
There was a cooing sound, there was a noise outside, the pheasant touched his stomach and opened his eyes, he fell asleep in the process of meditation, and suddenly someone lifted the curtain and saw the pheasant, "Who are you and why are you here." A man dressed as a servant said, "How can you sleep here as the son of a family, it is very delaying our business." The pheasant said sorry and got out of the carriage, looked around, this should be the kitchen, there are many servants, there is a housekeeper who is in command, someone is moving goods for him, and there are many fat cooks in the kitchen who are stir-frying and cooking. He scratched his head, as if he had gone to the wrong person, he wanted to find an exit, but he couldn't open his mouth, in case he was misunderstood as a villain, it would be very troublesome. He walked through the corridor, and some of the servants saw him and just thought he was the son of someone's family, and in the backyard, he saw a cucumber field, the cucumbers on it looked tender and ripe, and the pheasant went over and picked one and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"How's it going?"
"Sweet and crunchy. ”
The pheasant looked at the two stares staring at him next to him, and an old man with a beard with a red fruit on his upper body looked at him, looking like he was fifty years old, and looked at himself with a smile, "Eh, I'm sorry, I picked one when I was a little hungry." He replied.
"You can't count it like this if you steal the cucumbers I planted, help me turn over the soil. The old man said with a smile.
He couldn't help it, after all, he ate someone else's cucumber, took off his shirt and leaked a body of muscles that were not exaggerated but very powerful, picked up the hoe placed next to him and began to turn over the ground, the old man looked at it and nodded. The two of them worked in the cucumber garden for three hours, and finally the old man picked a few cucumbers and a few tomatoes for the pheasant to wash and wash, and the pheasant went to the well and washed it in a plate and gnawed there with the old man, "By the way, boy, why would you steal the cucumbers I planted in my yard, I haven't seen you in this house for a long time." The pheasant picked up a tomato and took a bite, the juice almost splashed out, "Hehe, uncle, don't laugh at me when I say it." The pheasant told the old man about getting into the carriage and meditating and aking up from his sleep. "Where is the gate or back door on the old man's side, I still have to go out." ”
"You're so bold, you don't even know where you came in so openly. Aren't you afraid that others will arrest you?" the old man laughed, "Anyway, where are you kid?" ”
"It's not a person here, a few days ago, the moral frontier, now just passing through here, going to Chang'an, I heard that the birthday of the king of Dongjiang in the past few days, I played with my friends here. The pheasant didn't care and said, after eating the tomatoes in his hand, he picked up an unknown melon and fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, "Eh, uncle, thank you for giving me these foods, I'm worried that I can't solve my hunger." Where's the gate?"
"Hehe, just eat enough, I'm an old man who is idle and idle, there is a reward This is the rule, I haven't met such an interesting young man as you for a while, and I talk a lot. The old man said. "I'll send you out after eating, where are the guards watching the gate, you will definitely be recognized when you go out by yourself. ”
"Thank you, uncle. The pheasant said and took a bite of the melon. Juice splashes. After a while, the old man walked from the corridor with the pheasant, and the servants along the way saw that the two of them were all avoided, and then pointed at themselves, the pheasant was very puzzled, the servants just now called themselves son-in-law and strange, and the guards on the road were also very strange, the old man walked over and they lowered their heads, the identity of this old man is not simple, the pheasant thought. Finally arrived at the gate, this mansion is very large, the gate is also inlaid with gold, the pheasant was taken out of the door by the old man, and when he looked back, the four big characters of "Dongjiang Wangfu" came into view. He was a little confused at that time, the king of Dongjiang, the emperor Pingzong of the Tang Dynasty, and his mother's own uncle, wasn't that the mansion of his uncle and grandfather? Suddenly, a passer-by saw the old man and shouted with a smile. The pheasant looked at the old man, "You are the king of Dongjiang?"
"Haha boy, do you just see it now, what is the crime of trespassing on my Dongjiang Palace, for the sake of you are still a young man who abides by the rules, you come over on my birthday. Behind him, a white-haired old butler with wrinkled facial features appeared at some point and handed him a red invitation. The king of Dongjiang turned around and walked into the door, and a hearty laugh came out, and the old butler looked back meaningfully and saw the pheasant following.
The pheasant stood in place and turned away silently, today's incident happened suddenly. He entered the palace of the king of Dongjiang and became familiar with the rules of the king of Dongjiang, and the word rules was an insult to the rebellion of a senior rebellious young man. Now he thinks so, fortunately it is an elder who is related by blood.
The king of Dongjiang walked into the hall opposite the palace, the precious treasure blue and white porcelain, the dragon head made of gold and the jade cane, and a blanket made of tiger skin spread on the ground, "Why do this kid's eyebrows and eyes look so much like Meng'er's little girl?" He picked up a blue and white porcelain and looked at it, "Go to Chang'an? At this age, tsk, is it?" He put down the blue and white porcelain and turned around and said, "Lao Luo, you go and check the identity of that young man." ”
The white-haired old butler just now bent down and nodded, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
When Li Futu found the pheasant, he was on the way back from his errands, and he saw the pheasant walking aimlessly on the street as if he had lost his soul, and he already knew that the kid's thinking was very strange, and he used to drag the pheasant's collar back to Ruilai Building. "Shenma?, you ate melons, fruits and vegetables with the king of Dongjiang?" "You still turn the ground together?" "The important thing is that you were not beaten out by the king of Dongjiang?" Xuanyuan knife and Ye Yingying asked surprised questions one after another, Xuanyuan Badao walked in with the knife in a dejected manner, picked up the gourd on his waist and drank it, got it, and looked at his appearance and didn't ask for wine. It is estimated that he was scolded by Wang Xiaohua for being bloody. Anyway, the pheasant put the invitation on the table, and several people looked at it, and they all said that they would go together that day to protect the safety of the pheasant, but in fact, it was for the food there, a group of foodies. "I guess there's still good wine. "Xuanyuan Badao is also going.
The night passed quickly, and the pheasant got up early in the morning and picked up the fritters and went out, no one knew what he was doing out, he went out to a blacksmith shop and bought a pair of iron-tired bows and feathered arrows, and went out of the city gate and went into the mountains and forests. In the afternoon, he dragged a huge white tiger into the city gate, the pedestrians on the road have sideways, some merchants paid a high price to buy his tiger skin, this white tiger has a feather arrow in its eye, the fur protection is very perfect, obviously someone from the side of the arrow into the tiger's eye through the other eye to kill. He returned to Ruilai Lou and personally took out the demon knife to cut off the tiger skin, cut it very completely, this is the gift he prepared for the king of Dongjiang, he heard that the king of Dongjiang has a white tiger skin, but there is a little flaw is that the ear at the head is missing, the white tiger killed by the pheasant is obviously very complete.
Two days later, on the birthday of the king of Dongjiang.
"Three thousand Western Desert silks"
"Ten Night Pearls of Zhang Youdao of the Military Department"
"Pingxi Wangfu sent 100,000 gold. ”
"The young man who steals melons and fruits has a complete white tiger skin. ”
The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and at the gate, a pheasant dressed in black with gold trim hung down a strand of hair, and the rest of the hair was combed back of his head, and a shawl came over, holding a folded white tiger skin in his hand.
"What a Peugeot beautiful boy. The girl who was still in the boudoir exclaimed all around, and a group of women quickly gathered around to watch.
The king of Dongjiang, who was talking to everyone, stood up when he heard this, saw the pheasant, grinned and pointed at the pheasant and said. "Hahahaha, my Li family's bloodline is really extraordinary, can the young man present be comparable to the son of the eldest princess?" These days, Steward Luo found out the true identity of the pheasant and informed the king of Dongjiang.
The pheasant stopped and smiled very politely and gently, "My nephew has given a gift to the emperor's uncle." A sense of pride appeared in him. He is a pheasant, enough to be proud of.
