As the night passes, the golden sun dispels the night, which is a good weather, but I don't know if it is a good start.

After Wu Nai and the three of them had dinner, they went to the emperor's side hall again with Huaide, who came to greet them. After some deliberation, it was decided to go to the envoy first, and after a meeting, then go to the guards who had been punished and ask questions.

However, a difficult problem is in front of us again, what is the appropriate excuse to make Wu Nai and the three of them join the luncheon reasonably?

His Majesty the Emperor thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good excuse for the three of them to join.

Let's say that they are famous people in the rivers and lakes, the Liu family's seven-star knife is famous, but the other party may not know each other. Moreover, if the other party knows that it is a person from the rivers and lakes and smells something, once he becomes alert, he will give up all his efforts.

Although the three of them were not illiterate, they were not authentic scholars, and they were okay with their writing, but they couldn't do it with their poems!

said that it was a soldier, and the three of them would fight, especially Bai Yu was very good at this, but when asked about strategizing and marching to fight, I was afraid that the other party's envoy who understood military affairs would have to show their stuffing.

In the end, it was Prime Minister Lu Yunhe who took the idea, and the Prime Minister said: "Your Majesty, just say that Wu Nai Shaoxia and the three of them are the people who discovered Xiangrui, and they can come to the palace to report Xiangrui." ”

The emperor was stunned: "What? Teacher, can this foreigner understand this? And where can I find Xiangrui now?"

The prime minister stroked his beard and smiled: "Hahaha, Your Majesty, it's because they don't understand it, that's why it's easy to do! There is a tiger-shaped root carving in the old minister's house, which looks like a tiger descending from the mountain. ”

After listening to the emperor's words, he asked Huaide to arrange manpower to quickly transport the root carvings from the prime minister's house, and then began to arrange the luncheon.

Finally, at noon, Dioman's envoy John Wright, and Edward Walker, an instructor of the Papal Praetorian Guard, who had accompanied him as his bodyguard, arrived at the palace banquet hall "Guanglu Temple".

The two entered the main hall, and some of their entourage went to the side hall, and John and Edward, after saluting the emperor and the ministers, were arranged by Huaide to sit on one left and one right, like the prime minister Lu Yunhe, sitting in the guest of honor near the main seat of His Majesty the Emperor, but there seemed to be a little space next to them, as if there was some special treatment.

John skillfully communicated with the ministers and the emperor in the Great Declaration, which John had learned from their neighbors, and Edward, though half a bucket of water that he had learned on the road, could barely communicate with him. In this harmonious and lively atmosphere, everyone waited for the luncheon with great anticipation.

Just as the luncheon was about to begin, a eunuch ran to the banquet hall to report the good news to the emperor, what kind of good news? Anyway, the prime minister had already greeted the officials, and everyone knew it in their hearts, but they still had to pretend to be confused, and the people in the entire banquet hall looked expectant and curious. It is said that it is a whole hall of guests, but it is better to say that there is a whole hall of actors, but it is a pity that the only wrongdoers who don't know the truth are John and Edward.

"The little slave has given His Majesty good news! God bless Daxuan! Xiangrui has been discovered in the Nanchu area! He has been escorted by three folk knights! He is waiting outside the hall at this moment!"

The emperor stood up with an excited face and said loudly: "Xiangrui, interesting! Okay! Let them bring it quickly!" The emperor realized at this moment that he was also a good actor.

Wu Nai and the three of them walked into the hall, and several eunuchs carried in a tiger-shaped tree carving that was larger than a person lying down. Because Wu Nai had greeted him in advance and told Bai Yu and Shuang not to deliberately peek at the foreign envoys after they entered, the three of them entered the hall without revealing any flaws.

Wu Nai led the two of them to kneel down and saluted: "Grass people Wu Nai! Bai Yu! Liu Baoshuang! Knock to see His Majesty the Emperor! May His Majesty the Emperor live long live! Long live! Long live! ”

"Flat body! Behind you are the auspicious Rui that is going to be dedicated to me?

After listening to Wu Nai's reply, he said: "Back to Your Majesty! This auspicious rui was found in Guanshan County, the land of Southern Chu. There is an old forest next to Guanshan County, which is said to be the place where the mythical beast White Tiger hides. One day there was a fire in the forest, and a big tree in the forest was not injured in the flames! Later, the fire in front of the tree was completely extinguished, and after the fire was extinguished, everyone went to watch. Who knew that at this time, a thunderbolt suddenly fell, turning this sacred tree into ashes, but the roots of the tree in the ground did not move at all, and actually broke out of the ground by itself, like that mighty tiger god, standing in front of all of us! Everyone did not dare to touch this thing, but later the county government arrived and after some observation, it was concluded that this thing must not be a mortal thing! So we and the other three were summoned, and they were escorted to Taijing, and this auspicious rui was dedicated to Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at Wu Nai with satisfaction, thinking that he had just asked him to play freely, and he just ran the carriage casually in his mouth, and said that it was okay to be mysterious. But he didn't expect this thing to play so well, not to mention the carriage in his mouth, it was simply an eight-wheeled cart with eight ox Qila, he almost couldn't help laughing, and said, "Ahem...... But is this auspicious real or false? What kind of sign is it? I can't say for sure, I'll have to find a reliable person to verify it. ”

The emperor paused, and then said to Prime Minister Lu Yunhe: "Prime Minister, you are not only well-read, but also heard that you understand astronomy and astronomy, otherwise, please come and explain your doubts, okay?"

Lu Yunhe stood up, bowed, and returned: "Since Your Majesty has opened the golden mouth, the old minister will be ugly." ”

Lu Yunhe walked in front of this natural tree carving, with a look that he had never seen before. He touched it a few times, then knocked it lightly, and looked at the thing that had been in his house for nearly ten years with a serious face.

Lu Yunhe suddenly shouted: "Okay!"

Wu Nai and the emperor were taken aback, and the emperor quickly sat up straight, holding the handle of the dragon chair, and hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, what do you mean by 'good'?"

Lu Yunhe turned his head and returned: "Your Majesty! The old minister dares to conclude that this thing is genuine! It stands in the fire and has not been burned out in the slightest, because the tiger god is gold, and real gold is not afraid of fire! At the same time, the tiger god is gold, and at the same time, it is water, and water can extinguish fire, and the solid fire will finally be extinguished in front of the tree, which is one of them." ”

Lu Wenhe stroked his beard and continued: "Jinben Kemu, water leads thunder, and the sky thunder opens the wood without hurting its roots, this is the second. You can understand this with your own eyes, isn't this just a tiger that has escaped from the mountain? Your Majesty! According to the minister's opinion, this thing is not fake! It must be the auspicious fortune that God has given me the Great Xuan!"

There was a "sensation" in the court, and all the drama masters were talking about it, and the discussion was more real than real. The two envoys were stunned when they saw this formation.

Lu Wenhe continued: "And this meaning, it is not difficult to guess, the White Tiger Star is to the west, and it is the god of war. This is the heavens that want me to show my heavenly power to the west!" said that, he looked meaningfully at the two envoys from the west, and the two envoys could only look at each other because they were divided by the left and right, and they were at a loss for a while.

The emperor said yes with satisfaction, and then the critical moment came, and the emperor pointed to the three people below, and then said: "Come! Give the three knights who escort auspicious Rui a seat! Let them sit on the seat of honor!"

After Wu Nai shouted thanks, he was taken by Huaide to the strong, bearded, Edward's seat. Wu Nai looked at Edward's cheap smile, and Edward avoided his inexplicable smile with an uncomfortable expression.

Wu said patiently and secretly: "Hmph! It's you who caused me to enter the palace to do a bad errand, if it weren't for you, I would have married the Frost Worship Hall now! Wait! See how I clean you up!"
