Volume II, Chapter 35
Another general of the Tanxi Empire hurriedly turned his head to look, and I saw that he was in a hurry, so I stepped back and gave him my place.
"Yes, yes!"
"It's broken!"
"What can I do?"
The brothers gathered around and coaxed as they applied the black paint in their hands to the silver armor of the later general.
The largest and thickest line was drawn by Moya, and Helt scribbled it everywhere up, down, left and right...... Jack, this kid is the most like me, he writes on other people's armor - I love xx!
The two ministers of the Tanxi Empire didn't know what was going on, and they just watched us rush up and retreat, leaving these two scrambled and tearless guys...... So they looked at each other, went ahead of us, and refused to walk side by side with us any longer.
I'm going to move on with my brothers, to leave the other two before our deterrence wears off.
But the people of the Tanxi Empire distanced us more than five paces, and they didn't let us get close. They must have thought it would be safe, but ...... Is it really safe then?
Let me show you the means by which I kill people without seeing blood! Hmph!
These two people looked back as they walked, and when we walked slowly, they slowed down, and when we went fast, they went fast.
I smiled and beckoned to my brothers, and the heads of the four of us came together and began to "chirp" and discuss. While discussing in a whisper, he raised his head from time to time and smiled at them...... frightened the two of them and became even more nervous.
In fact, this kind of little trick is clear to everyone who grew up in the market. Groups of children are crazy together, and the methods of dealing with others can be said to be endless. But it's all the same. Don't call for isolation. Deception, intimidation.
But these tricks are not heavy doors and huge locks, and the nobles who grew up in the high walls and deep courtyards can see through them. They play with gold and silver toys when they can walk, learn poetry and official dialect when they can run, and begin to pursue power and color food as soon as they can dance...... Fichette is cunning enough today, isn't he? But that's all about being deceived again and again. Wasn't he a stupid bird in the first place, let alone these bales?
But to use these tricks well, you need not only a few people in words, expressions. Dedication and seamless cooperation are even more important.
Now, for example, these two people have become frightened birds, and their steps are messy when they look back.
The moment before a storm is often the hardest, let alone unsure of what kind of storm it is.
Towards the garden, at the edge of the garden was a row of emerald green plants, which formed a low fence with delicate branches to enclose the garden. I whispered to the brothers about the steps of action, and the brothers were very cooperative with an "oh-" sound.
The four of us slowed down, our eyes fixed on the two of them. The wind is shrouded and the murderous aura is pervasive.
These two guys don't dare to be careless. Turning around and starting to walk backwards, we were like a predator and a prey.
Probably seeing that we had not yet caught up, a princess Charlotte's maid was already walking towards us from a distance in the garden.
Time is ticking!
"Five...... Four...... Three...... "I counted slowly with a voice that everyone could hear, and the brothers began to follow my voice, their eyes glowing green, their teeth cracked, and they acted like hungry tigers predatoring...... And the two frightened stupid galls also went backwards with the rhythm of my countdown.
"II...... One!"
The four people with their teeth and claws jumped at the same time!
The two idiots broke out in a cold sweat and jumped backwards!
"Crackling"
The two fools who only knew to pay attention to us, but forgot that they had retreated there - jumped backwards and crushed the fence!
"Ahh
I walked past them and complimented them, "You dare to break the things of the Light Protoss!"
Moya followed me, he was an honest man, and kindly reminded them, "Princess Charlotte's maid is here!"
Helt walked in the third and sighed at them, "Farewell, you will be beheaded by the temple......"
Jack walked last and gave them an idea, "Why don't you help them up...... Tie it up with something, don't be discovered!"
It's a pity that Marfa didn't come, and if he did, he would have said, "Hurry, hurry, there's nothing to tie up, tear up your clothes!"
Now it seems that it is up to them to figure out what to tie up...... Anyway, we've done that, and those four probably won't show up until the end of the garden test.
"Governor Cohen," said one of the maids, who came to me and asked, "where are the ministers of the other two kingdoms?"
"They all said they were not in good shape, and they had to tidy up before they came," I replied with a smile, "are you here to show us the way? β
"All right," said the maid, "this way." β
We were taken to a water table in the middle of the garden, where the large vase was placed.
Deep in the garden, Fischet, Letu and Ribeira, all three of whom followed Princess Charlotte, watched her choose the materials needed for the flower arrangement among the flowers. Princess Charlotte asked a variety of questions as she chosen. It was far away that they couldn't hear what they were talking about, but under Charlotte's understated questioning, the three of them didn't look very relaxed.
It looks like they'll have to pick a while, so we'll just stand and wait.
Princess Charlotte finally chose the materials, and several people walked back from the trail. The moment Charlotte stepped onto the water, I felt her gaze linger on me.
Unlike what I thought, she didn't have a stumbling song, she didn't have a good idea, she didn't have a song
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's rare that today's flowers are so good," Princess Charlotte said, standing beside the stone table, "why don't you finish this vase of flowers together, and all the flowers in the garden are up to you." β
"Of course!" said Prince Letu, "Princess Charlotte will be the first to insert the first." β
Princess Charlotte smiled, and the maid had placed several pots of flowers of different colors on the table.
"Let's start with it, no matter what kind of flowers you use. How to plug in. Princess Charlotte first put a few branches and blades of grass of various shapes in the pot. The flower has not yet been planted, but the vase has been decorated with simple and natural, "You have to tell the meaning, otherwise you will lose." Win or lose, I have my own rewards and punishments. β
"Every time I arrange flowers, I have a little habit, and the first thing I put down must be this kind of monochrome flower. Princess Charlotte picked up a pair of golden scissors and chose a flower with a white path and a thin core of red petals. "Alright, Prince Ribera, it's your turn. β
"Yes, ......" Prince Ribeira continued with the scissors, only to realize that the person who should be by his side was gone, "I want to go to the garden to find the right materials!"
"Please. β
Prince Ribera jumped up and down in the garden with scissors, running east and west, and finally returned to the water with a large pile of things before everyone was about to lose patience.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he was a little nervous, "Am I coming back late?"
"No, please start!"
Why did Princess Charlotte have such a good attitude towards this idiot?
"This ...... Oh no! this ...... It's not good!" Prince Ribera piled the flowers and plants in his arms on the table. One by one, they are chosen, "this ...... This one...... Not good!
"Ah, this is it!" cried Prince Ribera. "That's it!"
A low, fat, strangely shaped grass was placed in a vase by Prince Ribera...... Originally, Princess Charlotte's flower had slender stems and straight petals, and not all of them were open, and the whole flower still had a unique artistic conception. If you insert it next, whether it is the main trunk or the side branch, you must pay attention to the space filling between the two, the difference in color, and the unity of style.
Now I have inserted this broad-leaved grass that is almost "lying down" on the side of the vase for this stupid person, and all the artistic conception and style have been destroyed...... It's as funny as it is! It's as ugly as it is! Ordinary people will never be able to insert such ugly things...... Idiot to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, I don't know how many years he has practiced hard!
"Prince Libera," Princess Charlotte asked him quietly, "please explain to you why you did this, and what is the meaning?"
"This ...... This ......" Prince Ribera was sweating on his head and spoke with difficulty,' didn't mean...... Flowers need ...... To line the green leaves...... Princess Charlotte's flower arrangement has far-reaching implications, and the contemptible people dare to compete? I just want to be the green grass under this flower, and always set off the kindness and beauty of Princess Charlotte!"
I couldn't hold back my laughter, it was really hard. I don't feel it if I don't listen to him, listen to him, and look at the broad-leaved grass, the two of them are really alike!
"A vase of flower arrangement, don't care so much," said Princess Charlotte, turning to Prince Letu, "to you." β
"Yes, my God. Prince Leto picked up the scissors, "I want to insert more." β
"Please. β
With the large pile of materials that Prince Ribera had just put on the table, Prince Letu took the appropriate ones or cut or repaired them, and inserted them in the vase as he wished.
When he inserted the fifth branch, I knew that this guy was not simple, each of his flowers seemed to be inserted at random, but in fact, it was carefully considered, it seems that he practiced this not a day or two.
What happened to me even more was that Prince Letu unleashed a cryostat on the vase, causing all the flowers and plants to congeale in the vase. Then pick up some branches and leaves and decorate them.
Most of the flowers that Prince Koletu planted were not in the most ideal position......! How will it be adjusted in a while?
I saw him hold the stem of a flower with one hand, and as soon as he used it, a trace of white smoke came out of the stem, and in my surprised eyes, this flower stem had been made into the shape he needed by magic!
He walked around the stone table, his hands did not stop, and in the addition of scissors, a bottle of red and green flower arrangements has been completed, and the two main flowers in the bottle are one left and one right, which are correspondingly interesting under the background of various decorations...... Not only these two main flowers, but even the small grass that decorates them is so perfect that it cannot be changed. The style of the whole bottle of flower arrangement has been fixed, leaving no room for future generations to insert even a needle.
Cocoa ...... Fichette hasn't plugged it in yet!
Prince Letu put down the scissors, "Done!"
"Please explain, Prince Letu. Princess Charlotte remained noncommittal.
"Yes, my God. Prince Letu pointed to the vase for flower arrangement, "This vase is large and has a wide mouth. If there is only one main flower, it will inevitably look thin. Add a main flower to complement each other. Tends to perfection in style. β
I'm ...... Decide to take the plunge!
"I'm sorry!" I said, raising my hand, "Princess Charlotte, may I speak?"
"Of course," Princess Charlotte said to me, "everyone present can speak." β
"Prince Letu," I said, "don't you know that you don't have the main flower with two main flowers, and that the main flower was planted by Princess Charlotte! How can you be as tall as Princess Charlotte's flower?"
I've gotten out of it. If you can plant a hat, you can plant a hat...... It's infuriating that Fischette is standing very leisurely on the side, as if this qiΔ has nothing to do with him!
"Governor Cohen, the distinction between priority and priority is not just high and low. "What is more important is the priority of color, and the color matching of this whole vase of flower arrangement is aimed at highlighting the first flower, not to mention...... My second main flower is half a point shorter than the first main flower!"
Looking closely, sure enough, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"It seems that Governor Cohen has experience in arranging flowers," Prince Letu took advantage of the fire to rob, "why don't you come with it?"
"May I?" I said, looking at Princess Charlotte. "Can I really?"
"Yes. Princess Charlotte nodded slightly.
A smile came to my face, hehe...... Don't look at me because I don't know how to arrange flowers. I'm a top performer for sabotage!
"Please wait for me!" I ran into the garden without even taking the scissors, looking for the flowers I needed.
This ...... It's small!
This ...... It's too small!
This ...... It's still small!
Finally, I found the material I needed in a corner of the garden and uprooted it with a cheer.
When I turned back to the water, everyone except Princess Charlotte turned pale.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that I was about to interject, Prince Letu was the first to attack, "Governor Cohen, what are you going to do?"
"Flower arrangement," I swapped the "flower" on my left shoulder to my right, "Princess Charlotte allowed it!"
"But is this a flower? is this a flower?" he said, pointing to the behemoth on my shoulder, "this is obviously a tree!"
"Princess Charlotte has said that the materials in the garden are up to us to choose!" I retorted aloud, "and besides, this is indeed a flower, except that it looks more like a tree...... It's not its fault, and it's not my fault!"
"Okay, even if it's a flower!" said Prince Letu, who did not bother me with the question of flowers and trees, "but if you continue to insert it like this, the whole vase of flower arrangement will be ruined for you!"
"No......," I said with a smile, "let me try! I didn't put it back in and how do you know the vase will break?"
"If the vase is broken, I don't think you can afford to accompany it!"
"I'll be careful," I said, "if the vase breaks, it's an accident!"
I'm going to plug it! I'm going to break the vase! Otherwise, Fischette won't be able to escape this level.
"Governor Cohen," said Princess Charlotte as they were arguing, "Prince Letu, you don't have to argue. β
"Governor Cohen is indeed holding a flower, and it is not surprising that this vase, since it was used for flower arrangement, is damaged. Princess Charlotte's words surprised everyone, "But, Governor Cohen, should Prince Fichette be allowed to intervene first, knowing that there will be damage?"
Princess Charlotte said so, and it's no fun for me to keep messing around.
I looked at Fischette and told him with my eyes: "Brother, I really can't help you this time!"
"It's your turn, Prince Fichette, I hope you can help us finish this vase of flowers. "But speaking of which, it will be very difficult to put half of this vase of flowers, and I wonder how you are going to put it, Prince Fichette?"
Everyone looked at Fichette to see how he could put the flower in the jar that could no longer be planted.
"I don't plug in. Fichette stepped forward and smiled indifferently.
Suddenly, a disdainful smile appeared on Prince Letu's face. I looked down and sighed, this is a helpless solution!
"No, Prince Fichette, that's what everyone said. Princess Charlotte looked at Fischet, "Can you tell me your reasons?" β
"Okay," Fischette said, "I'm getting ready to do that." β
"Like everyone else, I love flowers, because my queen mother loves them very much. I remember when I was very young, I had already begun to help the queen mother prune the flowers and plants," Fischette put her hand behind her and approached the stone table, "and the flowers are at their most beautiful, and that is when they are in full bloom, with a strong or faint fragrance of flowers, and the buds are blooming, budding, and broken...... And this qiΔ requires hard cultivation and a long wait, and without cultivation and waiting, the joy of the blooming of that flower will be much lighter. β
"Flowers grow in the dirt, and they are supposed to grow there because there is something they need. Sometimes they don't quite work to your liking, but they've worked hard, and even if it's a pity, we should appreciate it," Fichette said, "and cut them off, cut them off, and put them together as we please...... It seems that it is indeed to make the flowers bloom at this moment without a trace of flaws, and it is more in line with their own hearts, but this thing itself is against nature, and the flowers and plants that have lost their vitality are not beautiful at all!"
"Bold!" exclaimed Prince Letu, "Fischette, how dare you speak to Princess Charlotte like this!"
"Bold!" I looked coldly at Prince Letu, "how dare you interrupt Prince Fichette!"
"Shut up!" said Princess Charlotte, stopping our quarrel, to Fichette, "what do you think?"
"Yes," replied Fischet, "I don't think it's good to have nature on its knees. β
"Although you say it well," said Princess Charlotte, shaking her head, "but I don't believe you, I think it's an excuse for you to avoid the flower arrangement." β
"Now, Iβin the name of the Princess of the Light Protoss, command you. Even if it's against nature, Prince Fischette, you must arrange flowers today!" Princess Charlotte's words surprised me, and I didn't understand why she was doing this to Fichette, "If you don't want to cut the flowers, you can use the materials already on the table. β
I looked at the things on the stone table again, and I was bitter in my heart: Ribera, the idiot prince, had no taste, and a large number of materials were mostly withered and decayed, and then he was violently selected by Prince Letu, so there was still a suitable one? Even if I found a suitable material, in front of this bottle of flower arrangement, which can be said to have been completed...... I'm afraid it's all in vain!
"Since it is your order, I will carry it out. β
Fichette didn't argue anything for himself, and picked up a pair of gold scissors from the tray on the stone table.
After a closer look, Fischette raised his right hand and slammed the scissors on the side of the vase!
"Ahh
In everyone's surprise, Fichette smashed it several times in a row, and a large hole had already appeared on the side of the vase.
Unlike us, Princess Charlotte had no surprise on her face, and she was watching this qiΔ with interest...... My affection for her in my heart dropped to zero.
Fischette put down the scissors, picked up a branch from the table that had been broken by someone, and inserted it into the hole in the side of the bottle.
The branches hung their heads obliquely, and the tender green leaves stretched out of the stone table, swaying in the wind.
Fichette, who had picked up another broken flower, sighed again and looked at me. (To be continued......)
