Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dragons Have Reverse Scales
The game between Xie An and Mu Yehuang attracted the attention of everyone present, except for Zhao Zili, his eyes were shining when the table was full of food.
Zhao Zili tasted it, well, it's still a delicious imperial meal, what's so good about playing chess. didn't care about other people's strange eyes, Zhao Zili began to binge-eat mode.
"Brother Qi, why don't you play chess with them, you've been eating." The eighth prince, Zhao Zicheng, was born frail, and his mother also died, which is very similar to Zhao Zili's previous situation.
Looking at his eighth brother, Zhao Zili finally understood what it meant to be weak and couldn't help it.
His face was pale, as if he couldn't even resist the wind, and his pale face was flushed with a hint of flush due to illness.
Although he is a few months younger than himself, he is obviously stunted, and he wants to be crowned king, but he doesn't know where to go yet.
"Hey, eighth brother, what's so nice about two old men playing chess, you see you're so thin, come and eat some." Zhao Zili pulled Zhao Zicheng to eat together, and Emperor Wu didn't care about them.
Chi Lian Blood looked at Zhao Zili who was eating wildly, but he was a little interested, this guy was extraordinary, and he acted so informally, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Alonso looked at his princess and actually smiled, and also saw Zhao Zili with the red blood refining gaze, thinking that His Royal Highness the princess would like this.
In the field, Xie An and Mu Yehuang went back and forth, playing chess very quickly, and did not give the other party too much time to think at all.
Over time, Xie An's face became worse and worse, this Muye Wilderness really had real skills, and Xie An fell a little behind for a while.
What's worse is that Xie An was hungry and hungry made his judgment a little reduced, and several chess pieces were wrong.
made Xie An not understand why Mu Yehuang was much older than himself, so his physical strength was still so good. The eldest prince also realized that he had been deceived by this old fellow.
Dong Fanbai's face finally got better, and the reason why he chose to play chess at this time was to consume the opponent's physical strength and energy.
There is a deep internal force under the dry appearance of the Muye Wilderness, that is, it will be fine for the next three days and three nights, and Xie An of Da Zhou does not look good.
"Your Majesty, something doesn't seem right with Lord Xie." Cao Zhengchun also saw that Xie An's body seemed to have a problem.
"I know that although that old guy is old, he seems to be far better than Xie An's physical strength." Although Emperor Wu knew what the problem was, he had no solution.
Suddenly, Emperor Wu noticed that a young man was very close to their chess game, so he asked, "Who is that young man Cao Zhengchun?" ”
Cao Zhengchun looked at it and replied: "Your Majesty, it is Fan Jian, the son of Fan Ming, the servant of the household department. ”
"It turned out to be the kid who messed around with Lao Qi." Suddenly, Emperor Wu had an idea and quietly told Cao Zhengchun.
Cao Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, nodded, and secretly found Fan Ming and told him Emperor Wu's will.
"If you really do this, Your Majesty won't blame my son." Fan Ming was still a little apprehensive in his heart after hearing this.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty said, as long as your son does it well, there will be another reward." Cao Zhengchun's words Fan Ming still believed it, but he didn't dare to fake the holy decree.
Fan Ming nodded and immediately called Fan Jian.
"Dad, what do you call me?" Fan Ming was also eating energetically, and he didn't know how to play chess or anything.
"You also saw that Lord Xie An was calculated, and His Majesty meant to let you pretend to inadvertently sabotage their chess game, understand?"
"Yes, that's what I'll do, but Your Majesty won't blame me." Fan Jian didn't think much about it, he knew how to be a scoundrel.
"Don't worry, your majesty will have a reward for a good job." Although he usually beats and scolds, after all, he is his own son, and Fan Ming doesn't want him to take risks.
Fan Jian looked around, grabbed the wine on Fan Ming's table, first sprinkled it, and then took a sip, phew, it's really spicy.
After doing all this, he gave his father a look, and Fan Ming also knew it in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Rebel, you actually dare to drink secretly at the state banquet, and you drank too much, go back with me quickly." ”
Fan Jian "accidentally" approached the chess game under Cao Zhengchun's arrangement, and said as he walked: "Hmph, what's wrong with the state banquet, didn't I just drink two glasses of wine from you, as for shouting." ”
At this time, Fan Jian was a rogue drunkard alive, and Xie An and the others were also shaken by this sudden encounter.
Suddenly, Dong Fan Bai seemed to understand, and shouted: "Don't let him approach the chessboard." ”
But it was too late, Fan Jian stumbled and accidentally knocked over the chessboard, and Mu Yehuang didn't react.
"Come on, drag him down, disturb the chess game, and drag him down first." When Emperor Wu saw that his goal had been achieved, he hurriedly asked someone to take Fan Jian away.
Fan Ming hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the child is young, drink a few cups secretly, and ask Your Majesty to punish you for making mistakes." ”
"Hmph, if you don't take your family with you soon, I will definitely punish him heavily." Emperor Wu gave Fan Ming a look, and Fan Ming immediately understood, and hurriedly took Fan Jian away.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xie An seems to have fainted." Suddenly, Cao Zhengchun's voice sounded.
"What, quickly help Lord Xie down, and order the imperial doctor to take a good look." Emperor Wu looked like a scoundrel, and Zhao Zili was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect Emperor Wu to be wise and martial, and he would make such a bad move.
"Your Majesty, the foreign minister's chess..."Muye Huang was about to win, Xie An's spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and he would definitely lose after a while.
"Master Xie is already in a coma, and the chess game naturally can't be played, so it's better to even if Mr. Makino wins." Emperor Wu's move was to retreat into advance, which made Muye Huang a little speechless.
"Well, let's settle for a draw." Even if he is reluctant, Mu Yehuang can only admit it, and if he wants the world to know that he won in this way, he will laugh off his big teeth.
"Sir, in that case, let's eat first." Emperor Wu smiled, and the secret path is still sensible.
The banquet began to continue, lively and popular, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the banquet was staggered, the words were happy, and the joy was harmonious.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone is bored, and they are just perfunctory greetings with each other, and singing and dancing are not fake, but they are not uncommon things in the palace, which makes people only annoying
And Zhao Zili is almost finished eating, looking at the scene in front of him, he only feels one word, tired.
Dongfan Bai ate some of it, looked at Mu Yehuang, and suddenly got up and said, "Your Majesty, this time, my emperor also gave a task. ”
"Oh, what else is there to Emperor Qin, you can say." Emperor Wu put down his wine glass.
"Mr. Makino has a disciple, who has reached the age of marrying, and was recently accepted as a adopted son by my emperor, and my emperor specially told the foreign minister to ask His Majesty to send a princess to marry, which must be of great benefit to the relations between the two countries."
Dong Fanbai's words instantly made everyone put down what was in their hands, it was too shocking.
Emperor Wu also frowned, and promised that he could stabilize Western Qin and go all out to deal with Dog Rong and Dongyi. If he didn't agree, Xi Qin would definitely use this as an excuse to stir up trouble.
Glancing at his daughter, the sixth princess was so talented that she couldn't marry her, and turned her head to look at the ninth princess.
Zhao Ziyu saw her father's eyes instantly turn to ashes, and she knew that only she was the most suitable.
looked at Zhao Zili in a panic, his eyes were full of tears.
Looking at the pleading eyes of the ninth sister, Zhao Zili was angry from his chest, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and this was the ninth sister he cared about most in this world.
The dragon has reverse scales, and it will be angry when it touches it, Zhao Zili slapped the table and shouted loudly: "A disciple of a stinky chess basket still wants to marry my princess, do you still want face?" ”
"Your Highness the Seventh, dare to call the old decay a stinky chess basket, you are the first person in the world." Makino squinted his eyes and stared at Zhao Zili.
"Seventh, don't be rude." Although Emperor Wu didn't want to marry, it was really not appropriate to have a bad relationship with Western Qin at this time.
"Father, my son read a few chess books during his injury, and I want to ask Mr. Makino for advice." For his ninth sister, Zhao Zili went out.
"Seventh brother, Mr. Makino is a chess master, don't make trouble." Zhao Zilin reminded him that he felt it was a good deal to exchange a princess for the peace of the two countries.
"Thank you eldest brother for reminding me, my father and sons ask for my life, if my sons defeat Muye Huang, please ask my father to refuse this matter." Zhao Zili knelt down with a thud and kowtowed his head heavily.
When he got up, he was already bleeding, and his voice was hoarse and said: "Father, the son understands his father's thoughts, but the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, and the peace of the country should not be sacrificed for the happiness of women." ”
Emperor Wu's pupils shrank, and his hand unconsciously clenched his fist, yes, my blood is not cold yet, how can I sacrifice my daughter.
A rush of blood surged into his heart, and he struck the case: "Okay, I allow you to challenge the Muye Wilderness, as long as you can win, I will promise you not to send the princess and relatives." In addition, I will issue an edict, and the emperors of all generations after me will not be allowed to be in harmony, and those who violate the order will be punished by the whole world. ”
No one could have imagined that the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were thrilled after hearing about Emperor Wu's holy decree, and the emperor was still like this, how could he dare to spare his life.
Countless young people began to join the army, and the military strength and combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou Dynasty reached unprecedented heights because of the sentence: The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
"Thank you, Father." Zhao Zili stood up, the blood on his face had not yet dried, stared at Mu Yehuang, erected an international standard gesture, raised his middle finger, and said: "Chess saint, this hall is here to play with you, a total of two games, as long as you can have a draw, even if you win." ”
Zhao Ziyu couldn't cry for a long time, she was already desperate, but at this moment she ushered in a turning point, it was really a desperate situation.
Even Zhao Zilin and Zhao Ziyan were silent, they also agreed with Zhao Zili's beliefs, after all, they were still connected by blood.
Zhao Zifeng stepped forward, gently wiped Zhao Zili's face with a handkerchief, and said softly: "You kid, you are still so frizzy and impulsive, come to my sister to wipe your blood." ”
Zhao Zili said: "Thank you, Sixth Sister, rest assured that my younger brother never fights unprepared battles." ”
"Okay, since His Highness is so confident, the old man will give up his life to accompany him." Mu Ye Huang didn't dare to be careless about this Seven Princes, and let everyone change their positions with one sentence, which is not something anyone can do.
Dong Fan Bai was also deeply shocked, and he couldn't imagine that he was the most terrifying of the princes.
The red refining blood eyes are full of light, and the heart is surging, it's him, it's him, Alonso slapped his forehead, and the princess must have taken a fancy to this kid.
Soon, the chessboard was ready, Zhao Zili and Muye Huang sat on both sides, everyone consciously dispersed, the two looked at each other, and a big battle was about to break out.
