Chapter 211: Two Treasures
Shi Guo is known as the country, but it is actually a slightly larger city, which is inferior to the main city of Kyushu, let alone compared with the imperial capital. The area of Shiguo is only 100 miles, the city is only more than 20 miles, and the whole country is less than 100,000 people.
Although the so-called sparrows are small, they are also complete, and before sunset, Yu Qingwu and his party advanced into Shicheng. Although everyone had put away the banners, they were still wearing armor and helmets, and they were fully armed, especially Yu Qingwu's mount was fierce and strange, and as soon as they entered the city, they caused a commotion in the city, and the cries of the vendors died down for a while.
After a few people entered the city, dozens of Cao Ge soldiers immediately came and blocked Yu Qingwu and the others. The middle-aged general at the head glanced at the twelve horsemen, and after staying on Xiao Hong's body under Yu Qingwu's crotch for a moment, he bowed to Yu Qingwu at the front with his fists and said, "Dare to ask where this general is in office, and what is the matter with coming to Shicheng?"
"Bold, don't you kneel down when you see the Great Xia Dynasty Fuyao Wang Dang Demon General?" Yu Qingwu didn't speak, and Zeyou, the commander of the thousand forces beside him, said sharply. After all, Yu Qingwu has the name of a prince, and Shi Guo is just a vassal state of the Great Xia Dynasty, even the lord of the country is only on the same level as Yu Qingwu in name.
As soon as they heard that the young man riding the strange beast was the Fuyao King of the Great Xia Dynasty, the soldiers didn't care about the truth or falsehood, so they immediately knelt down and shouted: "The last general will wait to see His Royal Highness the Fuyao King!"
Immediately afterwards, the trembling people also knelt down one by one and saluted.
"Get up!" Yu Qingwu waved his hand, and said after the Shi Guo soldiers in front of him got up: "This king has just calmed down the disaster of Guangqi, and returned to the imperial capital to return to His Majesty, and it is late when he passes through Shicheng, so you don't need to be nervous when you enter the city to recuperate for one night." ”
"Yes!" the leader of the soldiers owed, and said: "Your Highness is coming to Shicheng, and the king should receive him personally, and please go to the palace with the last general!" he said, while signaling the people around him to hurry to the palace to inform the king and the ministers, and prepare to welcome Yu Qingwu and others.
Yu Qingwu's trip was to take a look at the legendary princess Yuxi of Shiguo, who was the best in the world, and at this time, the soldier proposed to go to the palace, so he naturally had no reason to object. The group immediately drove to the palace, and on the way the big cow could be said to be like a deer, excited and couldn't help himself, wishing that he could see Yuxi immediately.
Shi Guo is a small state, its palace is naturally not as grand as the imperial palace of the emperor, but it is not dilapidated, more than a dozen palaces surround each other, carving dragons and phoenixes, showing luxury. When they arrived in front of the palace gate, there were already more than ten people waiting at the palace gate, and when they saw Yu Qingwu and others, more than a dozen people immediately bowed down and said, "Meet the King of Fuyao!"
The soldiers below may not know the name of the King of Fuyao, but these ministers who are in high positions in the country know very well that they can hardly hide their excitement when they see the young king who has been famous all over the world more than ten years ago.
"Excuse me!" Yu Qingwu on Xiaohong's back raised his hand with a smile and stepped off the ground with Zeyou's support.
An old man led by the ministers of Shi Guo hurriedly stepped forward, he was humble, turned sideways, pointed to the inner courtyard of the palace with one hand, bowed and said: "Your Highness, the king has set up a banquet, please invite Your Highness inside!"
"It's hard work!" Yu Qingwu nodded and entered the palace with Da Niu, while the rest of the people and Xiaohong were taken to another place.
Under the leadership of a group of ministers, Yu Qingwu, Da Niu and others passed through the front hall and entered the main hall. The main hall of the palace of King Shi is mainly black, solemn, low-key and luxurious, and the inside has long been full of cases, which are full of silver plates and jade plates and dishes with both color and flavor.
On the highest throne, there sat an elegant and handsome middle-aged man, dressed in the clothes of the Nine Yu Emperors, wearing a golden crown, and a palace maid holding a fan stood on each side of his side. As soon as he saw Yu Qingwu stepping into the hall, he immediately got up and walked down from the throne, greeted him with a smile, held Yu Qingwu's hands as if he was familiar, and said, "Your Highness is coming to Shicheng, why don't you send people to the ward, so that the Lone King can prepare!"
"The king doesn't blame this king for the crime of harassment, this king is already very grateful!" Yu Qingwu replied with a smile, not as humble as when facing Xu Bingen, because this was not needed at all.
"The king's ......" At this time, the head of the minister winked at the lord of the country, the latter immediately understood, Ha Luha smiled and led Yu Qingwu to sit on the left head, and he himself also ascended the throne, raised his hand to Yu Qingwu and the ministers, and said: "Today, the king of Fuyao is coming to my Shicheng, everyone, let's toast the young hero first!" After speaking, he picked up the glass cup that had already been filled with fine wine on the table and signaled everyone to raise a glass and drink together.
"Your Highness, I will respect you twice!" The ministers also stood up one after another, holding wine glasses to Yu Qingwu.
"The king won't say polite words, come, do it!"
Yu Qingwu smiled and raised his glass to drink. The big cow under him also toasted, and then ate like a gluttonous eat, and his eyes looked around, as if looking for something.
With a glass of sake in his stomach, the lord of the country raised his hand to signal Yu Qingwu to be casual, and while picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, he said: "A few days ago, I heard that Guangqi had demons to haunt him, and His Royal Highness sent His Royal Highness to the east to settle the disaster, and returned today, but the disaster of Guangqi has been settled?"
Yu Qingwu nodded, put down the chopsticks and said: "Under the leadership of the King of Xuzhou, the disaster of Guangqi has indeed been calmed down, and now the flood has subsided, and the matter will be over, just wait for the people who have moved away to go back, and this matter will be over." ”
"Yes!" The Lord of Shi Guo said with a smile: "The old prince leads the army well, plus His Royal Highness is a young hero, where can a mere demon be rampant?" After speaking, he raised his glass again and drank with Yu Qingwu.
Another glass into the throat, the wine into the throat slightly sweet, but after entering the stomach, it is like fire. After Yu Qingwu closed his eyes and reminisced, he looked at the jade cup in his hand and said: "I have always heard that Shi Guo has two things that are famous all over the world, and jade liquor is one of them, so I can't taste it today!"
Although he drank it in the Golden Rice Bowl Restaurant in the imperial capital that day, the jade liquid alcohol in the Golden Rice Bowl was not the best, and it was completely incomparable with the palace of King Shi, and the tribute wine in the imperial palace could be compared with it.
"This wine is the best, this king has already tasted it, I don't know another treasure of Shi Guo, this king is fortunate to have a reward?" Yu Qingwu smiled and looked at the lord of Shi Guo on the throne.
Shi Guo has two treasures, one is the best jade liquid alcohol in the wine, and the other treasure is Yu Xi, the master of Shi Guo Palace, a peerless beauty with the name of the world!
"Hahaha!" The Lord of Shi raised his head and smiled, and said to Yu Qingwu: "Why is it difficult for His Highness to see Xi'er?" After the words fell, he raised his finger to a palace maid beside him, and the palace maid immediately understood, bowed down and retreated, and then he said to Yu Qingwu: "Please wait for a while, Xi'er will come soon!"
"This king will wait and see!" Yu Qingwu said with a smile, he wanted to see how beautiful this Yuxi was, and he actually made those ministers unable to sit still when they heard the name of 'Yuxi', and looked outside the palace gate one after another.
After a few moments, several musicians carried their instruments into the hall, bowed to the crowd, and then stood on both sides, and then played vocal music in unison.
In the sound of music, a fair woman dressed in colorful clothes and wearing a light veil danced into the hall like a butterfly, and at the same time, a fragrant wind also followed. Accompanied by melodious music, her jade and flawless bare feet lightly stepped on the ground, and her body danced like a boneless, and the beauty of her form made people forget where she was.
Gradually, several colorful butterflies flew outside the hall and danced with the woman. There are more and more colorful butterflies, she is like a queen of butterflies, with colorful butterflies in the sky, dancing the ultimate beauty in the world.
Yu Qingwu's cup was held in the air, as if he had forgotten to drink it all. Although this woman wore a veil, she could vaguely see that kind of touching beauty in the haze! He had seen many beauties, Ji Yue of Xinyue Peak, Ji Chenggang's sister Ji Yourou, Lan Xin of Hongfan Pavilion, and Yingyi, who had been with each other for a few days not long ago, all of them were stunning, and they were all different. And among these people, Ji Yue and Lan Xin, who are good at dancing, can also be called to have a bewitching dance, but no matter who is compared to the woman in front of them, they are slightly inferior.
It's not that their beauty is not as good as Yu Xi, but because they are more distant than Yu Xi! Ji Yue is like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and always looks cold in front of outsiders; although Ji Yourou is literate and reasonable, her graceful aura is also difficult to get close to; Lan Xin is both beautiful and charming, but her temperament like a fairy and a demon for a while is also unpredictable.
Only the woman in front of her, even if she covered her face with a light veil, but the soft eyes and tenderness of the veins inadvertently revealed are the stunning colors of the earth, she is like a spirit in the world, born in the world, belonging to the world, close to the world, although she is from a noble background, but she does not have that unattainable fierce spirit, not so much a princess, she is more like a little sister next door, weak, shy, gentle...... It has all the characteristics of beauty that a woman should have, but the black hair fluttering in the wind will make people have a strong feeling of passionate blood, it does not belong to charm, but a kind of transcendence charm and achieve simple elegance.
Bang da! Bang da!
The big bull sitting under Yu Qingwu widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, and the hara in his mouth couldn't stop dripping, and the bewitching figure had already covered his eyes and heart, making his breathing begin to be heavy.
When the last note of the last note fell, the gauzy Yuxi also stopped the ordinary but fascinating dance, and the many colorful butterflies dancing around her refused to leave for a long time. At this time, many ministers came back to their senses and applauded one after another.
"Daughter see father!" Yu Xi did not take off her veil and bowed slightly to her father on the throne.
The lord of Shi Guo stroked his beard and smiled, pointed to Yu Qingwu on the left and said, "Xi'er, this is the young hero Fuyao King, don't you want to meet him?"
Hearing her father's words, Yu Xi nodded immediately, she lowered her head and gently moved the lotus step in front of Yu Qingwu, bowed slightly, and said softly: "Yu Xi has seen His Royal Highness the King of Fuyao!"
Yu Qingwu walked out of the seat with half-squinted eyes, came to Yu Xi's side, raised his hand and personally took off the thin veil that covered her beautiful face, and in an instant Yu Xi's elegant beauty was exposed to the air, even though Yu Qingwu was used to seeing beauties, when she saw the face that was still flawless without powder, she still couldn't help but freeze her breath.
