Chapter 315: A Prophecy
At the top of Lishan Mountain, the Son of Heaven left the palace, a big man in women's clothes, facing the praise behind the curtain, shook his head helplessly and sighed, turned around and walked out of the palace stupidly, and wiped the thick rouge on his face in embarrassment.
Yang Yi, who was waiting outside the palace, watched the back of the woman in the big man leaving, his brows twisted into a pimple, and asked, "How many are these?"
The young lieutenant general next to him looked bitter and replied in a low voice: "General Hui, one hundred and thirty-eighth." ”
"Rubbish!" Yang Wei, who is calm and calm on weekdays, scolded at this time: "Where did you find these grandstanders, you can't even laugh yourself, do you laugh when you see it?"
The young lieutenant general said helplessly: "The officials invited are the most famous harlequins in various places, but Bao Xi still refuses to laugh, and the lower officials really have no way to ......."
Before the young lieutenant could finish speaking, a steely palm slapped his emaciated face fiercely, making a snap!
Yang Zhi shouted: "I am fully responsible for this matter now, if Bao Xi doesn't laugh all the time, the king will lose the gamble, and he will definitely ask me when the time comes!"
The young lieutenant lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Looking at the poor lieutenant general, Yang Cheng sighed, he couldn't imagine that his dignified general would be planted in the hands of a woman!
As soon as the notice of the Son of Heaven offering a reward of thousands of gold to buy laughter was posted, many opportunistic people did not hesitate to brave the goose feathers and heavy snow, and rushed to Lishan with great difficulty, scrambling to make Bao Xi laugh. Some men do not hesitate to disguise themselves as women, some stick out their tongues and stare at strange looks, and some tell some absurd jokes.
However, Bao Xi never showed a smile from beginning to end.
Yang Yi never dreamed that he would go to great lengths to win a woman's smile. But for the ultimate goal in his heart, he still took a deep breath, tried to calm the fire in his heart, and said to the deputy general next to him: "I'll give you one last chance, if you can't find the right person again, come and see you!"
"The last general obeys!" the young lieutenant nodded again and again, and hurriedly retreated.
At this time, Bao Xi sat quietly behind a pair of drapes in the palace, and called, "General Yang, why did the mountain shake just now?"
Hearing this, Yang turned around and walked closer to the palace and replied, "The beacon tower just three miles away collapsed, and Lord Yu Han has already gone to check it himself." ”
Bao Xi slowly walked out of the curtain, walked out of the palace of the Son of Heaven, looked at the beacon towers standing in the snow in the distance, and asked, "General Yang, I still don't know, what is this beacon for?"
Yang explained: "The beacon towers set up all over the Lishan area were built to prevent the Rong people from invading the Zhou Dynasty. There is a beacon tower every few miles, and once the dog leads an attack, the sentinel who first discovers the enemy's situation will light the beacon fire; The rest of the sentinels near the pass will also light fires one after another when they see the wolf smoke, and one after another will burn the beacon fire, and the nearby princes will send troops to rush to the rescue. ”
At this time, Ji Gongyan was standing on the lookout not far away, looking down at the black clouds from a distance, and seeing her slim shadow in the snow, she was a stunning beauty with a national color and fragrance. However, what Ji Gongyan cares about most now is not the beauty of the country and the city, but that no matter how funny the jokes are, she doesn't show a smile.
Father Yu Shi took a step forward, deliberately shook his head and sighed: "Bao Xi was born like a flower like jade, if she can smile again, she will definitely be even more beautiful and moving." ”
Ji Gongyan heard what he said and asked, "It seems that Yu Shangqing already has an idea in his heart. ”
Father Yu Shi offered advice: "Weichen, dare to propose to use the beacon to try. ”
"Beacon?" Ji Gongyan wondered.
Yu Shifu explained: "If the beacon fire is lit at night, the princes of all countries will think that Hojing is in an emergency, and the Son of Heaven is in trouble, so he will inevitably lead troops to rush here. When the time comes, thousands of troops will come and go when they are called, and the scene will be fun and tight, and it will definitely make you laugh. ”
After hearing this, Ji Gongyan said with a displeased face: "The beacon tower is an emergency signal when the dog Rong invades, and I am afraid that this matter is inappropriate." ”
Father Yu's eyes flowed, he lowered his head and stopped talking, it seems that this sixteen-year-old son of heaven has not yet been so faint that he is hopeless.
Xi Bojifu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen suddenly thought of an interesting story. ”
Hearing that the Taishi, who usually opens and closes his mouth and closes his mouth, wants to tell jokes, Ji Gongyan was quite surprised and asked, "The Taishi also tells jokes?"
Yu Han joked: "Sure enough, there must be a brave man under the daughter, if the Taishi wants to win the bounty, he should go to the palace and tell Bao Xi, not the Son of Heaven." ”
Ji Gongyan said with more interest, "It's better for the master to tell the widow first." ”
"Once upon a time, there was a child who was herding sheep, and when he was bored, he shouted to the villagers, 'The wolf is coming', and the villagers came and found that there was no wolf. The next day, the child shouted to the villagers, 'The wolf is coming', and the villagers arrived to find that there was still no wolf. On the third day, the child shouted to the villagers again that the wolf was coming, but the villagers ignored him, never thought that the wolf was really coming, and ate the child. ”
When Father Yu Shi heard this, his face couldn't help but sink, "Taishi's joke is not funny.
Ji Gongyan's eyes flowed, thoughtful.
Xi Bojifu said: "Lighting the beacon fire for no reason and leading the princes from all walks of life to come and run for nothing will inevitably cause chaos in the hearts of the people in the world." In the future, if the dog Rong really raises troops to attack one day, we will light the beacon fire again, and the princes are afraid that they will be child's play. The Rong clan is like a wolf in the story, and the king must not be the child who provokes the fire. ”
Ji Gongyan secretly thought that what he said was reasonable, slowly turned to Yu Shi's father, and asked, "Yu Shangqing, you came up with this kind of idea, don't you want to burn the widow's country to the ground?"
Father Yu Shi hurriedly took a step back and said hurriedly: "The old minister doesn't dare." ”
At this moment, Li Hongxi, who was silent on the side, suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Look, everyone!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, only to see wolf smoke rising in the distance, and the beacon fire was soaring into the sky!
Ji Gongyan said: "Who lit the beacon fire?"
At this moment, a fast horse hurried up and neighed, "Hurry before the battle!"
Li Hongxi asked, "But what happened to the Lu Zhudao people and the Western Sect?"
The sentry shook his head again and again, panting and said, "Rong Di...... The army of Rongdi...... Suddenly an army invaded the border...... It's already eight hundred miles away!"
Ji Gongyan's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said hurriedly: "General Li!"
Li Hongxi stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "The end will be." ”
"Hurry up and dispatch the soldiers and horses, and hurry to the rescue!"
After Li Hongxi received the order, he hurriedly walked down the lookout and hurriedly went to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the headquarters stationed nearby.
Xi Bojifu never imagined that he would become a prophecy, and he couldn't think of who leaked the news.
At this time, Father Yu Shi's heart was overjoyed, and at the same time, he felt a little strange, now that it was not yet the agreed time, why did Rong Di come early?
