Chen Yong smiled and said, "Brother, I didn't see it, you are still really smart." Chen Sheng snorted and said, "Brother, are you praising me or hurting me." Don't you see me like this?" Chen Yong laughed and said: "Although you look like this, your mind is still very smart, okay, let's not talk about this for now, or what have you seen?" Chen Sheng nodded and said: "Our king is indeed recruiting people to cut trees, but not all of them can, you have to be strong, and you have to have some ability, if you want to join, you have to pass the king's exam." ”

Chen Yong glanced at Chen Sheng and said, "Then do you think our buddies can pass the exam?" Chen Sheng laughed and said, "I guess we shouldn't have any problems." In terms of physical strength, although we lost to the eldest brother, I believe that if we want to pass the exam, there should be no problem, not to mention that we were originally born in hunting, and in terms of ability, we will not lose to anyone. Chen Yong nodded and said, "I found that you are getting smarter and smarter now, since you think our buddies can do it, then let's stop talking nonsense here, let's go to the martial arts arena now to see what is going on." So the three of them slowly came to the martial arts arena.

There are a lot of people here, although it can't be described as a crowd, but it is definitely busy. Chen Sheng and the three of them went to the registration place to get three number plates, and then waited patiently at the back of the team. At this time, Chen Yong sighed and said: "We wanted to contribute to the country, but we didn't expect it to be so hard to contribute." Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It seems that this tree cutting operation is not as simple as we imagined, maybe there is something else going on inside." Chen Yong glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "What does the eldest brother mean is that our king ostensibly asked us to cut down trees, but in fact, he has other intentions?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "This is just my guess, don't think about it, what the hell is going on, we will know the Tao in the future, now we have to speak quietly, if others hear it, they will arrest us." "There are a lot of people on stage, but although they are all young and strong, not many remain. Soon it was noon. At this time, someone came over and handed out food to the people who signed up. Chen Sheng saw that there were still people who gave him something to eat, so he smiled happily: "It seems that we can't be ranked as good, at least someone will send us something to eat, this thing doesn't cost money, now we can have a good meal." After speaking, you have to eat it in a big gulp. At this time, Xiao Yu stopped Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Big brother, why are you stopping me, I'm really hungry now." Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I feel like there's something wrong." After hearing this, Chen Yong smiled and said: "We are contributing to the country, and it is normal for them to distribute food to us, I don't know what Big Brother Lu Dao thinks is wrong?" Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "I can't tell what is wrong, but we better be cautious, so let's first test if there is anything wrong with this food." If there really is nothing to do, wouldn't it be great if we are eating with peace of mind?" Chen Yong laughed and said, "Big brother, you are too careful, we are all the king's people, and he will harm us without reason." Xiao Yu smiled and said: "The rivers and lakes are sinister, it's better to be careful, by the way, which of you has silver on your body?" Chen Yong took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and said: "What, is there anything wrong with the eldest brother, I only have so much silver on me, I don't know if the road is enough for the eldest brother?" Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Enough, I will pay you back in a while." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yu put this piece of broken silver in their food, but after a while, the piece of broken silver turned black. Chen Yong was a little surprised to see the change in the silver, so he asked, "Big brother, why did my silver suddenly turn black?" Xiao Yu sighed and said: "You stay in the village all day hunting, you may not know what I do, this is the best way to test whether there is poison, if there is no poison in the things we eat, then the silver will not be black at all, but if the things we eat are poisonous, then the silver will definitely turn black." Chen Yong hurriedly said: "Big brother means that our food is poisonous?" Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to talk to a small shop." If others hear it, we're going to be in trouble. Chen Yong snorted and said, "Why should I speak quietly, since our food is poisonous, then I should tell everyone, otherwise everyone will not be poisoned?"

Although Chen Yong didn't speak quietly, Chen Yong still lowered his voice now. Xiao Yu said: "Only a few of us know about this matter now. We don't know exactly what your king is going to do, but I don't think this poison is a powerful thing, because now everyone else here has eaten these things except us, don't you think they are still the same now?" Chen Yong snorted and said, "What the hell is this king doing?" But we don't know how long we'll have to wait here, and if we leave now, we'll have to line up again when we come back, but if we don't leave and don't eat these things, then even if we don't starve, we'll be hungry when it's time to compete. ”

Xiao Yu smiled and checked the steamed buns they were going to eat again. After finishing the incident, Xiao Yu whispered: "I don't know if you don't eat late, will you be full?" Chen Yong laughed and said: "We are all poor people, it is not easy to eat steamed buns, how can we not eat enough?" Xiao Yu nodded and said: "I know that you are very big, and you must be hungry now, so you just eat steamed buns, and don't eat vegetables." ”

Chen Yong looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Big brother means that there is no poison in this steamed bun?" Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, I also tested this steamed bun just now, and there is indeed no poison in it, you remember, you must be cautious in doing things in the future, because we still don't know what your king wants to do, when you eat in the future, you only eat staple food, even if you see the delicacies of the mountains and seas, you must not eat it, otherwise there may be unexpected results." ”

The two nodded, and then slowly ate the steamed buns. After about three days, Xiao Yu and them were finally arranged, Chen Sheng and Chen Yong's level was really not blown, and they quickly passed the king's test, as for Xiao Yu, it was even more of a piece of cake. This was followed by a few days of recruitment. Now the personnel have been decided, and there are only twenty people in total. The king spoke a great deal to those who had been left behind, and then told them that a good supper had been prepared for them. Let everyone move freely first. Xiao Yu and the others gathered together and said, "Remember, during the dinner party for a while, you must not eat any dishes, including drinking." Chen Yong hurriedly said: "This seems to be a bit difficult, if we only eat the food in our hands, it won't be very wrong, then it is estimated that everyone will find out about us." Xiao Yu smiled and said: "It's okay, leave it to me when the time comes, and I will have a way to tell them." At this moment, the whistle of the assembly blew and everyone was ready to eat.

The banquet was very luxurious, and a lot of the food in it was wild meat that no one here had ever seen, and the king gave an order, and all the people gobbled it up, only Xiao Yu and the three of them were slowly eating the steamed buns in their hands. Wang quickly discovered the problem. So he sent a guard down to find out. The guard came to Xiao Yu and asked, "Do you think the food here is not your appetite?" Xiao Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "How come, there are all kinds of dishes here, we can eat whatever we want, how can it not be our appetite?" The guard said: "Then everyone is competing there to eat, why do you only eat the steamed buns in your hands?" Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Maybe we don't have this blessing at all." Before we came, our village chief had just passed away, and according to the requirements of our village, we must be vegetarian for five days, and today is the fifth day. The guard laughed and said, "This is in the king's palace, even if you eat it, others will not know it." Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "That's not good, people have souls, we are an old tradition left in the village, if we eat secretly, it will be cut off." The guard looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Will it be so serious?" Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "You are the person next to the king, how dare I lie to you." So when they heard this, they all laughed.

When they were full of wine and food, they rested. At this time, the king convened an emergency meeting. The important people had already arrived, and the king looked at all the people and asked, "Have you noticed anything wrong today?" Everyone hurriedly said: "I didn't find anything, and there are only those three people who want to say strange things, but didn't the king ask the guards, is there anything wrong?" The king nodded and said, "Do you believe them so easily?" They have been here for about five days, did they fly over, and don't they have to go on the road again?" ”

As soon as Wang said this, everyone began to feel that something was wrong. Then one of his subordinates asked, "Does the king think they have ulterior motives? They are only subjects here, and what kind of mess can they make?" The king snorted and said, "I now find that your brains are almost like idiot sisters, how do you know that he is our subject, can't you change into our clothes and mix with us?" But our country has always been peaceful, and who will get involved, and what will they want to do, will they do something unfavorable to the king?"

Wang thought quietly for a while and said: "What is the reason why we don't know the Tao now, but there must be a reason, I think it's good, when any of them loses, send a few people to arrest them, and we will interrogate them carefully, won't we know the way?" So all the people waited here. The sleepiest time should be in the second half of the night. Xiao Yu didn't actually fall asleep, because he knew that this king would definitely do something to them. Sure enough, as Xiao Yu expected, not long after Zishi, the sound of footsteps came from in front of his door. Xiao Yu is not afraid of anyone, even the people of this kingdom together are not Xiao Yu's opponents, but Xiao Yu is here to cultivate, although the people he sees now are ordinary people, but there must be something unusual here, maybe it is this operation. Otherwise, the wood god would not allow himself to come here to cultivate.

As the sound of footsteps got closer and closer, Xiao Yu slowly closed his eyes. At this time, several guards crept to Xiao Yu's bed, and then quickly covered Xiao Yu's mouth with something, and then grabbed Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu pretended to be very frightened and cooperated. Soon, Xiao Yu was taken to the place where the meeting was held just now. At this time, the guards loosened the rope on Xiao Yu's body and the cloth to cover his mouth, Xiao Yu pretended to be very panicked and asked, "What are you doing here, why did you kidnap me here at night, we are here to help everyone cut down trees, why are you arresting me?"

After a while, Chen Yong and Chen Sheng were also brought here. At this time, the king asked: "Tell me, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Of course we are here to cut down trees, are we still here to play?" Wang snorted and said: "If you tell the truth, I may spare your life, but if you don't tell the truth, then it is difficult to say what fate awaits you."

Xiao Yu put away the nervousness and said, "Okay, I can tell you the reason, but you can't hurt my two friends, because they don't know anything." It's good that you come to me for all this, and besides, if you let all the people here go out, just keep you and me, otherwise I won't say anything. The king's subordinates hurriedly said: "Presumptuous, what is your identity, you dare to make such a request to the king, you are now in our pocket, do you dare to tell us any reason?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "This matter is not what I want to say, it was you who arrested me and forced me to say it, and dear Wang, I think I left you for your own good, if this matter really spreads, it is estimated that you, the prince, will not be able to do it." The king looked at Xiao Yu and said: "But only me and you are left, how do I know that you won't hurt me?" Xiao Yu Ha said with a smile: "I didn't expect a dignified king to be so small, I am now in your palace, and here are all your people, if I hurt you, will your subordinates let me out of here? But okay, you are the king after all, and you should be worried, so let's find two trustworthy guards to accompany you here, so you should be satisfied, right?"

Wang's subordinate said: "Are you negotiating terms with the king or are you threatening the king?" Xiao Yu smiled and said: "It's not all, I just want to talk to the king, I think of it to the point where I am now, maybe the prince is very willing to talk to me alone." The subordinate hurriedly said: "You are simply unreasonable, what a noble man our king is, how can he talk to you alone with a person of unknown origin?" The man was still trying to say something, at this time the king said: "Okay, you don't want to talk about it, I decided to talk to him alone, after saying that, the king left two personal guards, and then said to the others: "You all go back first, I will be fine, but only one person, I believe that our guards can protect me." ”

When the king's subordinates heard this, they hurriedly said, "King, you must not do that, how can you take such a big risk for a person of unknown origin?" The king laughed and said, "I know what to do, so you should go back first." Also, you don't care about those two people, let them be here together. The king's subordinates hurriedly said: "Then they are three people, and they are all powerful people we have recruited, if they really make a move, I am afraid that the king will be in danger, you better let us all stay here." Wang said: "No need, there are many guards outside, if they dare to do it, the guards outside will come in immediately, so I don't dare to think of them." Okay, don't say anything, just disperse.

Now that the king has given the order to die, it is impossible for all the people to disobey the king's will, so all the people slowly began to disperse, and after a while, the king and the two guards were left in the room, and there were Xiao Yu and Chen Yong Chen Sheng. Wang looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Now that you have finished what you asked me to do, what can you say?" Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Actually, I asked you to do these things for your own good, the wall has ears, this matter can be big or small, and I believe that not everyone knows about this matter." Wang looked at Xiao Yu and didn't take his eyes off it. After a while, Wang said: "How did you find out about this?" Xiao Yu laughed and said: "Actually, I didn't see any flaws, but I have always been very cautious in doing things, and I am confident that there will be almost no pie in the sky, and you recruit talents to participate in cutting down trees." With so many people signing up, you can't have no one to hand out food, unless you're trying to do something. So I simply tried your dishes, and found that there were really things I imagined in them, so of course I won't eat your dishes, I can only eat your steamed buns, because your steamed buns have also been checked, and they are absolutely safe, because you probably wouldn't expect that someone would test your food, so you won't do anything on the steamed buns at all. The king nodded and said, "Haven't you heard that smart people don't live long?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Smart people don't necessarily live long, but not smart people must die faster, although I found out about this matter, but I haven't told anyone, including tonight, I will think for you, your subordinates are not all with you with the same heart, maybe there will be people who are distracted by you, or people who are eyeing your position, so I let you take them all away, I think so carefully for you, I believe you will not kill me." ”
