3 Chapter III
After listening to Chu Ji's words, before Zhao Xie could speak, Zhuo Xunzhi, the imperial historian on the side, took a step forward and asked Chu Ji sharply:
"Qin Zong is the young marshal of the enemy country, I don't know if Lord Chu has the intention of colluding with this move?"
He knew how enthusiastic His Majesty was about the glaze produced by the Chu family, and he even had a blue eye for Chu Ji. When Chu Ji first entered the court, he presented a brilliant glazed flower bottle, and immediately coaxed His Majesty to reward thousands of acres of fertile land. How ridiculous!
He must preemptively point out Chu Ji's wolf ambitions.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuo Xunzhi's words came out, Zhao Xie, who was originally full of sorrow on his face, suddenly restrained his smile. Colluding with the rebels outside and plotting for his throne is something that Zhao Xie will never tolerate.
Chu Ji ignored Zhuo Xunzhi, and only didn't see Zhao Xie's face. He had never fought unprepared battles, even if he hadn't decided whether to save Qin Zong at that time.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a treasure to present to Your Majesty."
"Oh? Submit it quickly! Zhao Xie's face immediately turned cloudy to clear.
As soon as he heard Chu Ji say that there was a treasure to offer, how could he not be happy? You must know that the glass flower bottle that Chu Ji presented last time is still placed on the Jiaozhi yellow sandalwood table in the main hall of his bedroom, enjoying it every day.
Chu Ji stretched out his hand to take the pinched silk gold lacquer box that Ji An held and offered it.
After taking the lacquer box, Zhao Xie first played with it. This pinching of silk and gold is a new process that only existed last year. As soon as it came out, it was highly sought after by the nobles of the Shengjing family, and Zhao Xie was also very fond of it. It's just that the output is extremely scarce, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold. Even in the palace, only he and the concubine have a few ornaments to enjoy.
Before he saw the treasure in the box, he rushed to this box, and Zhao Xie decided to reward Chu Ji heavily for a while.
Open the lacquer box, only to see a flat box no more than three inches square lying on the swastika pattern brocade, the flat box is decorated with hollow gold wire moire, which looks transparent and luxurious.
Zhao Xie picked up the flat box and opened it gently. I saw a flash of white light, and my face appeared on the lid of the box. It was the first time he had seen his face so clearly.
Zhao Xie was very surprised, took the box and fiddled left and right, and then asked with surprise: "What is this?" ”
Chu Ji said: "Your Majesty, this thing is called a glass mirror. Weichen is bold, please take a closer look at the other side. ”
When Zhao Xie heard this, he immediately turned the box upside down, and sure enough, there was a glass mirror inlaid on this side. It's just that unlike before, although this side can't see the whole face, it can magnify the facial features of the face and see it more clearly. For a while, Zhao Xie couldn't put it down.
When Zhao Xie admired himself in the mirror, Chu Ji lowered his eyes and stood quietly aside. This is actually a very common portable glass mirror in modern times, one side is a normal mirror, and the other side has a magnifying function. It's just that Chu Ji made it a little bigger and more exquisite.
He knew that the Zhao Association liked it. Zhao Xie actually looks good, after all, the Dayong Dynasty has been nearly 400 years old, and the genes of the royal family have long been modified by generations of beauties. Otherwise, Chu Ji didn't have the courage to dedicate the mirror to Zhao Xie.
"Aiqing is really talented, she can make such things!"
"Your Majesty Xie is wrong to love, but this thing is not made by the minister." Chu Ji gently closed his peach blossom eyes, and his face was moved, as if he was reminiscing. Then, when he opened his eyes, there were already a little tears there, like scattered stars in the Milky Way:
One day, the minister saw a golden light in his sleep in Liulifang, thinking that there must be a treasure. Sure enough, three days later, the craftsman of the glaze workshop quickly came to report, saying that two pieces of pure white and crystal clear glass were found in the workshop, and one of them actually had the effect of magnification. The minister thought that it must be the heavens that felt His Majesty's sage, so he descended such a divine object. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Xie originally looked at Chu Ji's face, and he was already feeling pity. Now when I heard this, I immediately rejoiced: "Yes, I am the Son of Heaven, and God is merciful and merciful to me, so I have given me a treasure!" ”
As soon as Zhao Xie's words came out, led by Wang Qi, Hula knelt down in the Colosseum, and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Xunzhi's eyes darkened, this, this, this, three years ago, Chu Ji also used this trick! It's been three years, and the beauties in the harem have all been renovated, but Chu Ji's rhetoric to deceive the emperor doesn't bring a word of change!
What's even more excessive is that the emperor still believes it so much!
Ji An knelt behind his young master, and secretly sighed in his heart, my mother, the young master dares to make up this mouth. He clearly remembered that this glass was made by the young master himself in the laboratory of Lingzhou Academy!
After the young master arrived at the Shengjing Chu Mansion, he underwent a major transformation. Except for the main house and guest rooms, all the other courtyards have been converted into laboratories, martial arts training grounds, and medicine houses......
Let's just say that this Lingzhou Courtyard, which was originally built for the young master's wife and concubine. Now it is full of sand and gravel and gray stoves, and all the people who come and go are sturdy craftsmen with eight meat buns. What's this called?
Ji An felt bitter in his heart, the eldest young master and the second young master didn't know how many times they had been urged by the letter, saying that the young master was one in twenty years old, and he must start a family as soon as possible. The young master didn't even have a roommate. Now even the yard has been demolished, and the demolished timber has been sold for 30,000 taels, and the young master is very happy.
Zhao Xie was sought after, and said to Chu Ji happily: "Aiqing is an envoy of heaven, no, Aiqing is a treasure given to me by heaven, how can I have a different heart?" Then Qin Zong, I will reward you! In the future, I will have to give a lot of gifts to the heavens. ”
Zhuo Xunzhi, who was originally standing on the side, fell to his knees with a thud, and his voice was sincere and sad: "Your Majesty! No! That Qin Zong is Nanxi's fierce general, if he gives Chu Ji this guy, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain and making them embarrassed! ”
Zhuo Xunzhi is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and Zhao Xie's teacher when he was the prince, Zhao Xie is still a little afraid of his teacher.
Seeing that Zhao Xie's face was embarrassed, and he was about to open his mouth to take back his fate, Chu Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Originally, Mr. Zhuo didn't want to see his own buyer, but he was afraid that after today, he would point to his nose and scold the court traitors.
But since he has already made a move, it is impossible for Chu Ji to return in vain. He bowed his hand, and his tone was reverent and excited:
"Your Majesty, just yesterday, God entrusted the dream to the minister."
"Speak quickly, speak quickly!"
"Heaven told Wei Chen that there was an evil dragon imprisoned in the sea area of Cangzhou. Take its dragon scales into the dish and make a Kunlun Baofu. Your Majesty eats it, and you can live forever. ”
Seeing that Zhao Xie had already stood up excitedly, but because of Zhuo Xunzhi, who was kneeling, it was not good to agree immediately, so Chu Ji decided to add another fire.
He bowed his hand to Ashina again: "According to the minister's opinion, it is most appropriate for the general to take dragon scales for His Majesty." It's just that the evil dragon is hidden in the deep sea, and I don't know what the mana is. In order not to cause the slightest damage to my talent in Dayong Town, Weichen felt that it was better to let Qin Zong go first. It is also his blessing to try the depth for His Majesty. ”
Ashinaju, who was originally watching the play on the sidelines, couldn't sit still, he didn't expect Chu Ji to burn a fire on him in order to get Qin Zong. He glanced at Chu Ji with an eye knife hatefully, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Lord Chu said is extremely true!" The courtiers took the dragon scales for His Majesty, which was a supreme honor. It's just that as a general, the minister should put His Majesty's safety first and always be by His Majesty's side. ”
At this time, Wang Qi also interjected: "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhuo said is groundless. If the general can catch Qin Zong for the first time, he can catch it for the second time, how can he talk about letting the tiger return to the mountain? ”
Although Wang Qi didn't know what Chu Ji was going to do, he and Zhuo Xunzhi didn't deal with each other. Now that he has the opportunity to suppress him, Wang Qi will naturally not let it go. Moreover, Chu Ji has always been a top Taoist, and he helped him this time, is there still little benefit?
"Good!" As soon as he saw that Xiangguo and the general supported him, Zhao Xie immediately had confidence. Thinking of the immortality that Chu Ji said, Zhao Xie immediately spoke: "This slave will be given to you." From now on, I will make you Cangzhou Mu, and set off in three days, be sure to find dragon scales for me. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xie gave an order, and Chu Ji naturally thanked him.
Just looking at Boss Zhuo, who was almost fainting in a hurry, Chu Ji couldn't help but sigh.
I only hope that Zhao Xie's absurd behavior can make Lord Zhuo, who is dedicated to helping Dayong, wake up-
The number of great Yongqi has been exhausted, not in the will of heaven, but in the hearts of the people.
Qin Zong rewarded Chu Ji, and Zhao Xie was busy going back to fiddling with the mirror, so he hurriedly announced the end of the gladiatorial fight. Before leaving, he didn't forget to pull Chu Ji's arm, saying that for the sake of dragon scales, he would do whatever it takes.
Chu Ji was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and only replied respectfully.
glanced at the back of Qin Zong, who was being escorted away in the Colosseum. Chu Ji closed his eyes and looked tired.
Qin Zong seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look at the high platform......
*
achieved his goal, but Chu Ji was not happy in his heart.
When the tide falls, the edifice will fall.
Not to mention, at this juncture, save Qin Zong. Everything in the original book has changed.
Out of the Colosseum and walking on the road out of the palace, Chu Ji looked up at the boxy sky on the palace city. In the original book, fifteen years later, this Yongqian Palace, which symbolizes the wealth and nobility of the imperial power, will be burned. It was Qin Zong's doing.
Chu Ji exhaled a depressed breath in his chest.
What kind of changes will Qin Zong, who has traveled through another world, leave the Colosseum ahead of schedule, bring to this land?
Thinking of this, Chu Ji couldn't help but spit on himself, the gambler gene from his father's line-
Such a big gamble actually made his blood boil.
Who said that there would be no benefit in saving Qin Zong?
Since I can't kill myself, why can't I let him be used by me?
A hundred generals are easy to get, but a handsome one is hard to find, and Qin Zong is a natural handsome.

At this moment, Da Si Nong walked past Chu Ji, and behind him was a mighty group of people. Chu Ji's ears are good, and he probably heard some words scolding him.
"Master Jia," Chu Ji raised his eyebrows, his voice was warm and smiling, and he bowed slightly towards Da Sinong, with an extremely casual attitude: "1 million taels, please send it to my house as soon as possible." I'm going to give the Holy Messenger. ”
What a Chu Ji! Da Si Nong's mouth is about to be crooked. I bet 100,000 taels because I thought I could get another 100,000 taels from Chu Ji. Unexpectedly, I lost 1 million taels at once! That's almost half of his net worth.
Just as he was about to have a seizure, he felt the person behind him gently pull down his sleeve.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that Chu Ji was already a pastor in Cangzhou, in charge of the military and political power of a state, and his status was transcendent, above Jiuqing.
Immediately, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
Seeing the officials behind him saluting towards Chu Ji, Da Sinong only felt that his blood was surging. If it weren't for the attendants behind him helping him out, I was afraid that he would faint in front of Chu Ji immediately.
Satisfied, seeing that Dasi Nong was so angry that he was smoking, Chu Ji walked along the white marble steps towards the palace gate.
At least, Qin Zong also won 10 million taels for himself.
Like, not bad?
Let him think about it and think of a "Qin Zong trapping plan".
Behind him, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the palace, and the dust loomed in the air, like an elf waving its wings.
Such a good sunshine will one day shine on every corner of this land, warming every person under the blue sky and white clouds.
