Chapter 12: The Jade Burns
Above the court, the crows were silent, and all the officials bowed their heads in shame, and no one in the huge empire could break the Rubik's Cube of the envoys of the Northern Liang.
"Minister, join Your Majesty!"
Xiao Wuxin knelt down and saluted.
Emperor Zhou was still in the mood to care about this, he looked upset and irritable, waved his hand and said, "King Han, do you have a way to crack the things in the hands of the envoys?" ”
No one in the government and the opposition could restore the Rubik's Cube, so Emperor Zhou didn't believe that Xiao Wuxin could do it at all, and he didn't have any hope for him.
However, the next words made Emperor Zhou's eyes light up, and Xiao Wuxin said: "The minister has a way to crack it." ”
"Is that true?" Emperor Zhou's eyes lit up.
Xiao Wuxin didn't talk nonsense, walked to the side of the envoy of Beiliang, grabbed the Rubik's Cube, and it took less than 30 seconds for his flexible fingers.
The Rubik's Cube is in place, and the six sides and six colors are formed.
"What!!"
The ministers racked their brains and failed to recover, but Xiao Wuxin recovered in an instant.
The accident came too suddenly, and the laughter of Emperor Zhou sounded in the silent hall, and he pointed to the envoy and said, "Hmph! Ladies and gentlemen, who said that our court is incompetent? ”
The envoys of the Northern Liang looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe it, and said, "It must be an accident!" ”
After messing up the Rubik's Cube again, Xiao Wuxin looked at the six sides, and immediately played the Rubik's Cube with one hand.
The flexible five fingers are like a dancing dancer, and the flowing Rubik's Cube is not pleasing to the eye.
After a while, the Rubik's Cube was restored again.
After several more attempts, Xiao Wuxin successfully recovered, greatly boosting the morale of the Zhou Dynasty.
The envoy of the Northern Liang said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty has many talents, and they are willing to gamble and lose, and voluntarily offer 100,000 taels of silver." ”
After that, the envoy of the Northern Liang ordered the ten boxes of silver prepared in advance to be easily carried to the main hall.
When opened, the silver of the white flowers is eye-catching.
Emperor Zhou nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Wuxin's expression was condensed, and his eyes were fixed on the silver, it was not that he was greedy for money, and the silver was very strange.
"Then the music, the dance!"
Emperor Zhou drank a glass of wine, and could not hide the joy in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Wuxin suddenly said: "The minister also has a small plaything here, called 'Nine Rings', the gameplay is very simple, you only need to take off the nine rings, and I implore Your Majesty to allow the envoy to crack it." ”
He pulled out a string of tinkling iron rings from his cuff and placed them on a brass strip.
Emperor Zhou didn't think this thing was complicated, so he ordered someone to take it and disassemble a few of them before he suddenly discovered the subtleties of the Nine Rings.
Xiao Wuxin is still a thief, and Emperor Zhou readily agreed.
The envoys of the Northern Liang didn't think so, isn't it just a small ring? But when they really got in touch, it dawned on them.
A small ring, a big hole.
When I dismantled to the fourth, I felt that it was too difficult, and I didn't say the last nine.
Next, it was the turn of the Northern Liang envoys to rack their brains, and they couldn't solve the nine links even after trying their best.
The other party was deflated, Xiao Wuxin deliberately said: "This thing is a plaything for the enlightenment of children in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you won't even be able to untie the little nine links, and Beiliang is just like that." ”
Give back to others in their own way.
This is exactly what the envoys of the Northern Liang Dynasty said to satirize the officials of the Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Zhou was overjoyed in his heart, and had a feeling of revenge, and said that Xiao Wuxin's crooked ways were quite a lot, but he didn't bother to ask, and said: "Aren't you Beiliang boasting that you are smart?" Why can't you even untie children's playthings? Ha ha!! ”
After many unsuccessful attempts, I had to give up.
However, the envoy didn't have much shame, after all, it was fake, and besides, this place would soon cease to exist, and everyone would have to die.
Just as the wolf clan was preparing to plan the next step, they were disturbed by a voice from outside the hall.
Liu Qing, the left commander of the Yulin Army, rushed into the hall and hurriedly reported something to Emperor Zhou.
"What!"
After hearing Liu Qing's news, Emperor Zhou's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said, "Bring it immediately!" ”
"Whoa."
After Liu Qing retreated, Emperor Zhou's face was as usual, and he changed to eat and drink, but his eyes looked at the envoys of Northern Liang from time to time, thoughtfully.
An hour later, halfway through the banquet, Liu Qing turned back: "Your Majesty, the person has been brought." ”
"Lift it up!" Emperor Zhou immediately ordered the singing and dancing to stop.
Xiao Wuxin sneered, his gift had finally arrived.
The Yulin army carried the corpses to the hall, and there was an uproar upwards, and all the officials were surprised.
Emperor Zhou no longer hid, and said to the envoys: "Do you still know these corpses?" ”
The wolf clan panicked and pretended to be calm: "I don't know." ”
"Come on, rip off all their clothes!" Emperor Zhou said angrily.
The wolf clan has a special tattoo on their body, which is just right to prove their identity.
Seeing that the plan was revealed, he no longer disguised it, and directly indicated the identity of the wolf clan, and as soon as these words came out, the court was boiling.
"How did you find the body of the Northern Liang envoy?" Said the man who led the wolf clan.
The wolf clan intercepted and killed the convoy of envoys in the deep mountains two hundred miles away, seized their customs clearance records, and disguised themselves as envoys of the Northern Liang, which was impossible for the Zhou Dynasty to discover.
In fact, Liu Qing also received a mysterious letter: "The Chenghuang Temple outside the city, the corpse of the envoy of the Northern Liang is here." ”
Liu Qing sent someone to confirm it before hurriedly reporting it.
"Is it necessary to ask these questions now?" Emperor Zhou said angrily.
In recent years, although there has been friction between the Northern Liang and the Zhou Dynasty frontiers, neither side dares to fire the first shot.
Now the envoys of the Northern Liang died tragically in a foreign land, which gave the Northern Liang an excellent excuse to start a war.
And the wolf clan invaded the northern frontier of the Zhou Dynasty, and the king of Zhenbei was sticking to it, if he started a war with the Northern Liang again, the Zhou Dynasty was afraid of losing the country.
This is also the real purpose of the cooperation between Tuoba Yuan and the wolf clan.
"Don't pretend!"
The wolf clan showed their fierce faces.
In an instant, the inside and outside of the hall were surrounded by the Yulin army, and several human walls were formed in front of Emperor Zhou.
"You are already a turtle in the urn, and if you are caught, I will let you die a decent death!"
The people of the wolf clan laughed wildly: "We didn't plan to go back alive when we came here, and it was worth it to let the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty accompany the burial." ”
"Just a few of you?"
At this time, the wolf clan overthrew all the ten boxes of 100,000 taels of silver around them to the ground.
Crash!
The silver was scattered all over the place, and everyone didn't know what they wanted to do.
"What a light piece of silver."
One hundred thousand taels of silver is about 3.1 tons, and apparently none of these are at all, so there is only one explanation: the silver is fake.
It can be used to make a real silver - sodium metal.
It's too late to think about it now, because Xiao Wuxin guessed what the wolf clan wanted to do?
Sodium, explodes in water!
"Not good! Come on. ”
As the words fell, the wolf clans used their own blood as water to detonate all the metal sodium in the Qianyuan Palace.
Bang!!
The explosion engulfed everyone in an instant, and the magnificent Qianyuan Hall turned into ruins in an instant.
(PS: Sodium metal needs a lot of water to explode when it meets water, don't take it seriously, watch a happy one)
