Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Wonderful Use of Seeds
Yin Erhu sent sixty-one bags of plant seeds to the East Palace, which were personally inspected by the crown prince Li Hong.
Everyone knows that the prince attaches great importance to things like seeds, although this time he gave a little more, it is not too strange, people will only envy Yin Erhu for making a fortune.
Chunxi is Li Hong's personal eunuch, he saw Yin Erhu shake out a white-haired and white-bearded human race from a sack, and the prince looked carefully at it on the side, it seems that this human race should be an extremely precious big seed.
For this reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carefully stabbed this seed twice with a knife, and saw that the seeds were flowing with red juice, so he asked Yin Erhu, who sent the seeds, puzzled.
"Are you sure this is the white bat that claims to have existed since the early days of Hongmeng?"
Yin Erhu replied cautiously: "Back to Your Highness, this seed was obtained by the villain from the vicinity of Baiyun Temple, and it looks very much like the white bat, as for whether it is a real white bat, the villain doesn't know." ”
Li Hong turned around and said to Chunxi: "Go and ask my father to come over, just say that I caught a white bat that existed in the early days of Hongmeng, but I don't know if it's true or not, please ask my father to come and identify it." ”
Chunxi quickly went to Ziwei Palace with the dust in his arms, he knew that it was rude to do so, but when it was about the white bat, Chunxi felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had handled it very appropriately, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not hide anything from his father at any time.
Yin Erhu sent a lot of seeds, and Li Hong only checked more than a dozen of them, so he had no interest in continuing to check.
Hua Lang is the queen mother, which is nothing to Li Hong, not only he knows, but his father also knows.
Therefore, these people can't be killed, when the time comes, they still have to be handed over to the queen mother to deal with, he is just the prince can't go past his father and mother to deal with them, if this kind of small thing fades the family affection, it is his Li Hong's biggest loss.
As for how to catch these people, the father and the queen mother will not ask, after all, the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty got back some seeds, which is also not a big deal.
Li Hong rewarded Yin Erhu with two pieces of money, and Yin Erhu left with a bag of copper coins on his back, such a reward was already very good, in the past, the rewards given to them by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were generally calculated based on the value of mutton in the water basin.
There were still many pockets in the Zhaoming Hall of the East Palace that had not been opened, so Li Hong sat quietly on the main hall and slowly drank tea to the moans of these people.
Not long after, a giant bear took the lead in entering the Zhaoming Palace, pulling the sacks containing seeds with his paws, and constantly sniffing around, Li Hong hurriedly put down the teacup and went out to greet him.
Li Zhi came to the Zhaoming Hall with many people, ignored the etiquette of his son's greeting him, and went straight into the Zhaoming Hall accompanied by Zuo Chun, the Grand Governor of the Hundred Cavalry Division.
After seeing the sacks all over the ground, Zuo Chun immediately summoned a large group of military eunuchs, guarding one sack for every two people.
Li Zhi looked at Li Hong and said, "I heard that you got a lot of seeds?" ”
Li Hong nodded and said, "When the subordinates of the East Palace searched for seeds, they inadvertently searched for some strange things. ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Where did you find it?" ”
Li Hongdao: "In the willow forest outside the Baiyun Temple. ”
Li Zhi licked his lips and said, "Last night, Baiyunguan was attacked by a large number of bandits, these bandits can't be the group of people under your command who searched for seeds, right?" ”
Li Hong shook his head and said, "No, the child doesn't do anything that destroys my Datang law." ”
At this time, Zuo Chun had already ordered someone to open a sack at the front, revealing Zhang Guo who had been stripped of his stripes inside.
Seeing Zhang Guo's miserable appearance, Li Zhi took a step forward and said, "Immortal Master......" At this time, he saw a piece of white jade stuffed in Zhang Guogudao, and swallowed the words that followed.
Li Hong pointed at Zhang Guo and said: "This person, the child has seen him in Ziwei Palace, and he is still a guest of his father, so he doesn't dare to be good at it, so he asks his father to come over and verify whether this person is true or false." ”
Li Zhi said in surprise: "What kind of strange people do you have under your command who can catch Zhang Guo?" ”
Li Hong spread his hands and said: "It's just some rough people, taking advantage of the Baiyunguan fire, they knocked out with a stick and brought them back." ”
Li Zhi looked at Li Hong and said, "Is this really the case?" ”
Li Hongdao: "That's true, this person didn't show the magic power of the white bat that gave birth to wisdom at the beginning of Hongmeng, and he was knocked out with a stick, and the sons and daughters under the command of Erchen were still worried about accidents, so they tied him up with a cow tendon rope, just worried that something would happen."
As a result, until now, he has not woken up from his coma. ”
Li Zhi circled around Zhang Guo's unconscious body and looked at it, and asked people to splash Zhang Guo with ice water.
Zhang Guo's body trembled, trembling all over, and slowly opened his eyes, I have to say that this guy's eyes are really good-looking, shining like children's eyes.
When I woke up, I had a sober judgment of the situation I was facing, although my mouth was still stuffed with hemp nuclei and I couldn't speak, but there was already a smile on my face, and those bright eyes were even more able to speak, containing a trace of shyness, a trace of open-mindedness, and a trace of cunning.
At this time, I have to say that this guy's body is as white as jade, but the left three circles of the cow tendon rope that are emitted a lot of water are strong, and the right three circles of the rope are strong, and where the rope falls, many places have been strangled purple by the shrinking rope.
Zuo Chun asked people to untie the hemp core in his mouth, and listened to Zhang Guo say to the emperor with a smile: "After all, I fell into the ambush of Luo Gongyuan, a thief." ”
Li Zhi looked at the embarrassed Zhang Guo and said, "Doesn't the immortal master have the ability to fly to the heavens and the earth?" ”
Zhang Guo said with a smile: "Defeat Sanhua, at this time, the poor road is no different from ordinary people, and this is also the calamity that the poor road should have." ”
Li Zhi said to Li Hong: "How many Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple have you arrested?" ”
Li Hong asked people to untie the sacks, revealing a lot of Taoist priests and Hua Lang's figures, but these people are now naked and not very easy to distinguish.
Zhang Guo had already been untied by the eunuchs, and he was lying on the ground in a naked and large font like this, without any sense of shame.
He also asked the emperor to throw him to the downtown area of Luoyang, and after he basked in the sun for ten days, he would naturally recover his mana.
When the time comes, you will be able to go to Luo Gongyuan to fight a battle that belongs to the gods......
Li Zhi agreed to Zhang Guo's request after thinking for a while, and gave him a eunuch's clothes to cover his shame, but Zhang Guo sternly refused, claiming that his whole body needed the sun so that he could recover faster.
Li Zhi quickly selected the Taoist priests belonging to Baiyun Temple from this pile of people, and did not ask those Hualang disciples who were also captured alive by the prince, and when he left, he didn't say anything, just looked at his son with a complicated expression for a moment.
The giant bear had already left the Zhaoming Palace, grabbed the two camphor trees outside the hall and shook them for a while, waiting for Li Zhi to come out, and then followed.
Zuo Chun stayed, and it stands to reason that he and the Hualang disciples should be mortal enemies, but he has no interest in the Hualang disciples all over the ground, but asks outside the words, who is under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has made this great contribution.
Li Hong felt that he had no reason to explain the cause and effect of the matter to this eunuch, and with a wave of his hand, he drove this powerful eunuch out of the Zhaoming Palace.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty does not need to explain to anyone except the emperor and the empress.
As soon as the father and emperor left, the chubby Chun Mama came to the Zhaoming Hall panting, and without explaining to His Royal Highness the Prince, she let a group of stout mothers-in-law carry the sacks containing the Hualang disciples and left.
Li Hong always smiled, without the slightest displeasure, and invited Mama Chun to drink a big bowl of cold and heat-relieving incense primers at him.
When the emperor and Mama Chun left, the elderly Xu Jingzong walked out of the side hall with a volume of "Book of Jin", looked at Li Hong with a smile and said, "Your Highness, a great victory." ”
Li Hong shook his head and said: "Winning from your parents is not enough for outsiders. ”
Xu Jingzong said again: "The old man is still very curious, who can capture a demon like Zhang Guo?" ”
Li Hong sneered and said: "Since ancient times, there have been a few warlocks who are as magical as they themselves boast, and a martial artist can smash him with a stick while he is unprepared, what's so strange." ”
Xu Jingzong said suspiciously: "Zhang Guo's Dao technique has been tested. ”
Li Hongdao: "The stick of the warriors under the command of the Lone King has also been tested in actual combat, and this time, it has been fully proved that even if it is an immortal, it cannot withstand the stick of mortals." ”
Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Most of the martial artists who like to use sticks are from the Lantian Hou Mansion, so it is Lantian Hou Yunchu who is doing things for the prince this time?" ”
Li Hong looked at Xu Jingzong with disdain and said, "Except for Lantian Hou Yunchu, there is no martial artist in this world who is good at using a stick?" ”
Xu Jingzong shook the "Book of Jin" in his hand and said: "As long as the word stick comes out of His Royal Highness's mouth, it must refer specifically to the Marquis of Lantian Mansion, not only the old man heard it, but Your Majesty, Zuo Chun, and even the queen also heard it."
In the end, how to deal with the aftermath, His Highness should prepare early.
Once Zhang Guo exerts his magical powers to save face under the scorching sun of Luoyang, His Royal Highness will inevitably be the one to be blamed. ”
Li Hong sighed and said: "Father Emperor has been quite close to Taoism recently, if the Lone King wins his father, he will actually lose, let his father win after reversing, this is the way I can get the benefits." ”
Xu Jingzong sighed and bent down and saluted: "If Your Highness can't inherit the unification in the future, it will be the biggest loss for my Tang Dynasty."
Since His Royal Highness asked His Majesty to win back a game, then the Queen must be allowed to lose this game, otherwise, these people should not be arrested, so that His Highness's strength is exposed, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Li Hongdao: "It should be right for my mother to lose to my father, so that our mother and son have lost to our father, so that we can continue to maintain the relationship between our mother and son." ”
Xu Jingzong looked at Li Hong with satisfaction and said: "The poor old man only has a little remnant left, if he is twenty years younger, he will definitely look forward to His Royal Highness." ”
