Li Huan looked at Duan Siming, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, "Could this be Duan Siming?" I still think of some kind of hero, it seems that I am just a gentleman, and it should not stop me from achieving great things. ”

Ding Buling was also somewhat disappointed when he saw Duan Siming, but out of courtesy, he still got up and hugged his fists and returned the salute to Duan Siming. Seeing that the emperor had all gotten up and returned the salute, the hundred officials had no choice but to get up one after another and bow deeply to Duan Siming.

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Duan Siming looked at Qu Yue Baiguan with a smile, raised his hands upward, and made a flat gesture. Hearing this, the hundred officials straightened up one after another, their eyes looked straight ahead, and no one looked at Duan Siming again, nor did they say a word.

Seeing this, Ding Buling took the lead in breaking the embarrassing situation and said: "Lord Duan, if the two great powers of Song and Liao are divided today, the two big countries of Song and Liao each dominate one side, and the party members in the land of the five states have also risen rapidly under the leadership of Li Jiqian, and each force has a huge threat to a small country like us. A few days ago, I was also planning to send an envoy to Dali to consolidate the alliance between the two countries, and it happened that you came to Quyue with a generous gift, which shows the sincerity of Emperor Dali. I believe that as long as our two countries join forces, we will be able to sit firmly in the southwest, so that no country in the world will dare to underestimate us. ”

Duan Siming said with a smile: "Official, this king only likes to eat, drink and have fun in his life, and he doesn't know anything about state affairs. All I know is that whoever dares to bully us will be returned to him tenfold, so that the invading enemy will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Ding Buling laughed when he heard this, "Duan Wangye's words are not coarse, and this is very agreeable. This is the case for our two countries, and we are working together to resist foreign enemies. After speaking, he pointed to the first position on his right hand, "Lord Duan, please take a seat!" ”

"Little King, thank you." Duan Siming sat down without hesitation as he spoke, and at the same time looked at Li Huan who was directly opposite, although his eyes seemed to be full of smiles, but there was endless murder in his eyes. Li Huan has worked hard all his life, but at this time, he didn't see anything unusual in Duan Siming's eyes.

Ding Bu Ling waited for Duan Siming to sit down, and then couldn't wait to ask: "Lord Duan, I saw that there was a strange beast in your gift list a few days ago, and I was very curious. I wonder what this strange beast looks like, and what is so strange about it? ”

Duan Siming didn't know how to lead to this matter, and when he saw that Ding Buling actually asked directly, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so he said nonsense: "Official, this beast is called Saizhouzi, and its appearance is very similar to that of a wild dog, but it is much more ferocious than it. There is a legend in our Dali that as long as someone can subdue this beast, this person will be able to soar in the future, and his country will be blessed by the gods. It's just that our Dali men have a gentle temperament, lack of real warriors, not like the generals of Qu Yue Kingdom, all of them are amazing in martial arts, and they can't find a person who can subdue this beast with the strength of the country, so Xiao Wang deliberately brought this beast to the official family today, hoping that the official family can find the person who surrendered this beast, and bring auspiciousness to the official family and the people of Quyue as soon as possible. ”

Ding Buling couldn't sit still for a long time, and after listening to Duan Siming's words, he couldn't help but stand up, and asked curiously: "Lord Duan, can you bring the strange beast to the palace and let me and the hundred officials open their eyes?" ”

Duan Siming nodded unhurriedly, "Okay, Xiao Wang has this intention!" As he spoke, he struck his palms three times, and in a short time there was a sound of heavy footsteps and a terrible bark outside the hall, which was so loud that it made the hearers frightened. The madness and ferocity contained in it made everyone present tremble.

In a short time, several guards carried a huge iron cage and walked up to the main hall with heavy steps, and every step seemed to be very difficult. Most of the officials in the hall were afraid, but they were driven by curiosity, and they all looked at the iron cage, like sunflower heads in the field.

I saw a black curtain shrouded in the iron cage, and the cage continued to bark "Wang", and the sound contained endless anger and murderous intent. If it weren't for the fact that the creep of this thing was no different from that of a dog, I am afraid that everyone would mistakenly think that it was a tiger in the cage.

The guards carried the iron cage to the middle of the main hall, gently placed it on the ground, and slowly tore off the curtain outside the cage. At the moment when the curtain was lifted, a huge and fierce monster appeared in front of everyone. At this time, the craged thing suddenly stopped barking, and a pair of eyes more ferocious than the wolf shot straight at Baiguan. Everyone was immediately frightened by the monstrous killing intent in its eyes, and couldn't help but retreat again and again.

At a glance, Ding Buling's face also turned pale, and he couldn't even say anything at the moment, "Duan ...... Lord Duan, this ...... Is this your Dali's beast race? ”

Duan Siming said: "Exactly, this beast is extremely fierce!" I don't know which warrior the official sent to submit? ”

"Wait for me to think about it...... Ding Buling said, his eyes scanned the people present, but he didn't see the volunteering and eagerness he hoped for anywhere he looked, all he saw was fear and retreat. Even the famous generals who are brave and brave on weekdays, no one dares to take the initiative to ask for help at this moment.

Ding Buling was greatly disappointed when he saw this, and he didn't know what to do, but Duan Siming looked at Li Huan with a wicked smile, "General Li, Xiao Wang Jiuwenling is brave and invincible, and he is the first general of Qu Yue Kingdom, I don't know if you have the courage to surrender this boatman?" ”

Li Huan was thinking about how he could do it seamlessly, easily win the throne, and become the Ninth Five-Year Honor, when he suddenly heard Duan Siming ask himself by name, and quickly came back to his senses. He looked at the mad dog in the middle of the main hall with black hair and an unusually strong physique, and said secretly, "It shouldn't be difficult to subdue this beast with my martial arts, but if there is an accident or there is fraud here, then my plan will be completely ruined." After thinking about it, he pretended to be confident and said: "Lord Duan, I Qu Yue is full of talents, why do you need General Ben to surrender this beast in person." ”

"Oh, really?" Duan Siming felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but restrain his smile.

Li Huan smiled and nodded, "There is a distinguished guest in my mansion, although his martial arts are mediocre, he is good at subduing all kinds of strange beasts. If Duan Wang Ye is interested, I will send someone to call him and ask him to help Duan Wang Ye in public. ”

Without waiting for Duan Siming to answer, Ding Buling looked at Li Huan in surprise, "General Li, there are such masters in your mansion, but I don't know it." Call him in quickly, and let him perform in public, and if you can subdue this beast, I will not do him any disadvantage. ”

"Yes, the last general will send someone to call him." Li Huan stood up as he spoke, bowed deeply to Ding Buling and Duan Siming, and then walked out of the hall quickly. The ministers led by Ruan Lu, looked at the mad dog in the cage, and looked at Li Huan who walked out of the hall, and everyone had a suspicion in their hearts.

Only Duan Siming had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, worried that Li Huan had seen the clue and did it deliberately. Busy praying silently, "Bodhisattva bless, guests in Li Huan's mansion, don't be Yaoyao's companion, otherwise this king will really be self-defeating this time!" ”
