Chapter 49: The Gift
"Haha, Brother Wang, come on. Yeluji took two quick steps at the door of the tent, grabbed Wang Lie's arm and pulled him into his big tent, not seeing the shelf of the king of the southern courtyard at all.
After the celebration banquet, because he was worried that Wang Lie would be drunk and needed to rest, it was not until the next morning that Yeluji sent someone to invite Wang Lie to come over, and Wang Lie asked Li Suning to stay in the tent and come to Yeluji alone.
"My lord, I don't know what is the matter with the call?" After taking his seat, Wang Lie asked Yeluji, who was sitting on the high seat in the center.
"Brother Wang is not my subordinate, you don't need to call me king, just call Brother Yelu. Yeluji said boldly, although Wang Lie also felt that others were quite bold, he might be able to be a simple person on the throne of the Southern Courtyard, and he was not Qiao Feng, how could he have peerless force, and his scheming could be less?
"Yesterday, with the help of the Wang brothers, we harvested thousands of good horses, which is a great achievement. Yeluji continued, "I thought about it all night yesterday, Brother Wang is a Han Chinese, and he doesn't seem to want to be in the officialdom, and Brother Wang, who wants to come to my official position in Daliao, doesn't care about it, and it is too vulgar to thank him with gold and silver treasures. ”
"It's not good at all, I'm happy if you give me hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Wang Lie muttered in his heart, his expression unchanged and nodded in agreement with a slight smile.
"I thought about it, and finally it came to me. Jeluji said.
"Bang Bang-" He slapped his palms twice, and two people walked in in response, one of them was a middle-aged man rescued by Wang Lie when he was hunting horses that day. Now he walked in with a long box in his hand and knelt down on one knee to salute Jeluji.
"This is Xiao Linxiu, the head of my guard, and thanks to Brother Wang, otherwise I would have lost this right-hand man. Yeluji stood up and walked up to the big man, pulled him up and patted him on the shoulder.
The big man is high-spirited and mighty, his name is delicate, he stroked his chest with his right hand, bent down to thank Wang Lie, and said a Khitan word in his mouth, fortunately, Wang Lie learned from Li Suning last night, and he could understand what he said was "Thank you!"
"I, the head of the guard, was born with divine power, excellent martial arts, and brave strategy, so I am not good at all, and I can't speak Chinese. "I told him a few times, but he felt that learning Chinese was useless, so he just didn't change it." He said with a smile, Xiao Linxiu stood aside and didn't speak, as a personal guard, he was Yeluji's confidant, and Yeluji's words also showed his importance to him.
"As the so-called sword is given to heroes, Brother Wang is outstanding in martial arts, this king only got this not long ago, and he just gave it to Brother Wang. Yeluji took the long box from Xiao Linxiu's hand, opened it with his backhand and handed it to Wang Lie.
Wang Lie looked down and saw a three-foot-long sword in the box, and with an ordinary shark skin scabbard, he couldn't tell if the sword was sharp.
"Brother Wang, don't look at it ordinary, this piece is made by a famous swordsmith who has devoted his whole life to it, it was originally unsheathed, and I didn't have time to match it with a scabbard suitable for it after I got it, so in order not to be injured by mistake, I used such a scabbard to temporarily place it. Jeluji explained.
Wang Lie was not polite, he reached out and grabbed the sword, and pulled the sword out of the sheath with a bang, the white light was dazzling, just pulled out the sword Wang Lie felt the cold pressing, Wang Lie bent his fingers on the spine of the sword, buzzing, the sword that could be praised by Yeluji was really not ordinary.
"Brother Wang, come and try the sword. Jerugi took one end of the long box in both hands, and the other end stretched out. Xiao Linxiu hurriedly stood in front of Yeluji and wanted to get it for him, but Yeluji pushed him away.
It is worthy of being the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, this courage is also rare, now that Wang Lie's sword is in his hand, he can take his life at any time at this distance, and he even dares to hold the wooden box in his own hand to let Wang Lie try the sword.
Wang Lie praised in his heart, danced a sword flower in his hand, slashed at the wooden box with a sword, snorted softly, and slashed through his hand without any sense of obstruction, and with a bang, the wooden box had become two halves, half of which fell to the ground, and the other half remained in Yeluji's hand.
"Good sword!" Wang Lie admired, just now he didn't have any true qi, it was completely relied on the strength of the long sword, the wooden box was obviously made of solid wood, and it was the same as cutting tofu.
"This king is only a little bit of martial arts, this sword is also a pearl with me, today I will give it to Brother Wang, I hope it can help you make a contribution. Jerry said.
Men, there is no one who doesn't like weapons, the future is a firearm, and now it is a cold weapon, Wang Lie is the same, the sword hanging from the waist is the dream of every man's childhood, looking at this sharp and fierce sword, Wang Lie also can't put it down, he didn't fake politeness, he held the long sword and hugged his fist and thanked: "So Wang Lie is respectful and obedient, thank you king!"
Wang Lie returned the sword into the sheath, although the shark skin scabbard looked ordinary, Wang Lie didn't plan to replace it, it's not good to show off his wealth, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the king's way, who would have thought that the green steel sword that generally looks everywhere is a sword that sharpens iron like clay, and it will not attract people's attention to fight or surprise it.
"The thousands of good horses that Brother Wang captured for this king are worth more than this sword. Yeluji laughed, "Speaking of which, this king still takes advantage." As he spoke, he took a foot-long box from another man's hand.
"Brother Wang's younger sister is a girl's family, but unfortunately my mother-in-law didn't accompany me this time, and I don't know what to send, but fortunately there is such a gadget. Yeluji pushed the box in front of Wang Lie and said.
"The king is polite. Wang Lie hung the sword he just got on his belt and took the wooden box, so he wouldn't be polite to Yeluji, good horses are like cars in later generations, how much are thousands of luxury cars worth, not to mention that this is still a strategic material, maybe it will be dealt with by the south in the future, and he regrets helping him a little.
Wang Lie opened the box, and there were two fist-sized beads in the box, the beads were light green, and they looked like jade carvings.
"These two are the night pearls that His Majesty the Emperor gave me, and they are not precious things, they are rare, and the night lighting is also very useful. Jeluji said, and he didn't think this priceless thing was precious. But it's also true, Daliao is still martial, and they don't pay attention to things that can't improve national strength, unlike the Han people who spend all day long.
"Haha, the king is so polite, how embarrassing this is. Wang Lie grabbed the wooden box containing the night pearl, and said politely when he was about to laugh.
"It's just two gadgets, not worth mentioning. Jeluji said with a wave of his hand.
Xiao Linxiu said a few words, Wang Lie learned a few words of Khitan dialect, and he didn't understand it at all, Yeluji translated: "My chief guard sees that Brother Wang's martial arts are outstanding, and I want to ask you for a few tricks, I don't know what Brother Wang thinks?"
"Okay, I also want to see your country's martial arts. Wang Lie said, for the martial arts sent to the door, Wang Lie will not let go, as for the martial arts competition, he is not afraid, and there is no danger to his life, even if he loses, he is not afraid, Wang Lie is not so sensitive to self-esteem, learning is a process, no one is born the first in the world, he is not those protagonists who think how they are, they can't tolerate others better than themselves, losing once is the same as how much they are insulted, there is no need, the competition is just for learning and growth, winning the best, losing can also know the shortcomings, next time it can be improved, up and down for thousands of years, how can there be long-lasting prosperity, of course, this is also his standing and talking without back pain, with his martial arts internal strength, it is difficult to lose。
The process is very simple, Wang Lie didn't even use Tianshan to fold plum hands, and easily defeated Xiao Linxiu with Shaolin Luohan Boxing, this Xiao Linxiu did not learn any advanced martial arts, completely relied on his natural divine power and learned some basic kung fu in the army, and he barely became a second-rate master, it can be seen that he is talented in martial arts, but unfortunately there is no famous teacher to teach martial arts, he wants to say that the battlefield killing may be more than enough, but it is far from competing with Wang Lie, Xiao Linxiu is not angry, he actually wants to worship Wang Lie as a teacher, Wang Lie is so frightened that he hurriedly flashed, what are you kidding, a middle-aged man in his thirties, he is not interested in accepting apprentices。
