Chapter 9: Mecha Athletic
"Prime Minister, your little white bite ......"
"I know, someone is hurt! But who ordered this?"
Sima Lang was just about to answer, when another voice came from outside the door: "It's me!"
Everyone looked for prestige and saw King Tie Ying arrive with Queen Sima Meiji and daughter Tie Muqing, as well as many entourages and escorts.
"Xiaohu's pet hurt my daughter, do you know that the two of them will ...... in the future"
Wang Taishan shouted to Tie Ying: "Whoever saw her hurt, I heard that your Wang family guards wanted to arrest my son together, is this also your order?"
Sima Meiji said, "Is this how the Prime Minister talks to the king?"
Tie Ying shouted: "Shut up, you don't have your share in men's talking." ”
Wang Taishan asked: "It's not my son who hurts people, and the white tiger won't hurt people when the owner is not in danger?"
Iron Eagle asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Sima Meiji hurriedly explained: "Mu Qing was attacked and injured by this white tiger on the way back, and my brother-in-law Wu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to fight against the white tiger, which repelled the white tiger, and our city protector Wu Cheng was also injured. ”
Iron Eagle shouted, "Where is the Commander of the Protectorate?"
"My king, I'm here!" Wu Cheng stood up from the crowd.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"That's right, the recent Eight Domains Mecha Tournament will be held as scheduled, and the heroes from all walks of life who have come to participate in the tournament will gather ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point!"
“...... Well...... I captured a group of troublesome mecha mercenaries, and on the way back, I happened to meet Her Royal Highness the princess who was being attacked by the white tiger. ”
"Whew~~"
Xiaobai didn't understand much, but he seemed to understand a little, and let out a cry of protest.
Everyone looked at the white tiger who was grabbed by the little tiger and whispered, this animal will hurt a lot in the future.
Tie Ying shouted: "Quiet, do I want to parade the prime minister's son through the streets and hang him? The attitude of your group is to force me to do what I shouldn't do, Taishan is the prime minister, my brother, he can shout, but you can't." ”
Tie Ying's protective heart made Sima Meiji very displeased, and Tie Muqing secretly cursed in her heart, but her face was not shocked, and she couldn't see why.
Sima Meiji saw the commotion of everyone, so she hurriedly said: "Tie Muqing is a princess, a woman has a scar on her arm, it will be a lifetime of pain......"
Tie Ying glanced at Tie Muqing and didn't say much, but he also knew in his heart that his daughter's arms would be inconvenient to show from now on, which was really a little sad, but he glanced at Wu Cheng and shouted: "You can be injured against a juvenile white tiger in the war zone, your ability as a city defense officer is really big enough, and you have lost my old face." ”
"My king, the people of the north are fierce, and this beast is also an extraordinary demon beast, it is more agile and more powerful......"
Xiaohuzi was anxious when he heard this, and shouted: "Xiaobai is not a demon beast, let alone a beast, but a divine beast in the north." ”
Tie Ying stared at Wu Cheng and said angrily: "Okay, shut up, millions of people in the entire royal city count your words a lot, you are a stupid person who can't speak, how can I have a courtier like you." ”
Sima Meiji glanced at Wu Cheng, her face was expressionless, and Wu Cheng also looked helpless.
Tie Ying immediately made a decision: "Okay, my brother, Xiaohuzi is my future son-in-law, and no one can be bullied. So, I'll just forget it. ”
Princess Tie Muqing glanced at her mother, and was displeased, but it was inconvenient for adults to speak, after all, she wanted to be a "lady", but the eye contact was asking Sima Meiji: That's it?
"No, husband, the beast has wounded your daughter, and you are the king. ”
Wang Taishan saw that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "Once on the battlefield, we also had divine beasts to help in the battle, and the white tiger was the most spiritual divine beast in the north. ”
"Hmph, leave it to the queen. Iron Eagle turned to leave, not looking back.
Seeing that it was not good, Xiaohuzi looked at his father Wang Taishan and begged: "Dad, don't let them hurt Xiaobai." ”
Sima Meiji looked at Wang Xiaohu coldly, and Xiaohu cast a pleading glance at Tie Muqing.
Tie Muqing twisted her face to the side.
Wang Taishan sighed helplessly, looked at the queen and said: "The white tiger is a divine beast in our north, not an animal, he can only die at the hands of the director, and cannot be slaughtered." I'll figure it out personally. ”
"What are you going to do if you want to let it go?"
"I'll give you a corpse!"
The crowd dispersed, Wang Taishan led the little white to the back of the house to no one, and soon the people heard the wail of a white tiger.
......
Wang Taishan sat at the conference table of the palace meeting, accompanied by many ministers, and Wu Cheng, the city defense officer, reported on the city's public security situation in recent days.
Wu Cheng reported: "The mecha competition is about to be held, and there are more and more good players from all over the country, in addition to the mecha warriors sent by the lords of the eight domains, there are also many mercenaries and rangers, they all come with their own mechas. ”
"You said yesterday that there were mercenaries making trouble, how did it go?"
"Taken into custody!"
"What's going on?"
"They drank too much and molested the noble women of the city!"
"Is it a noble woman? There is a distinction between high and low?" the prime minister asked Wu Cheng, "If it is a woman who flirts with a commoner, is it not a crime? They are mecha warriors." ”
"This ...... , what the adults said makes sense, it's like this. Wu Cheng replied.
"As the prime minister, I can't keep my northern divine beast, just because I'm not the king, do you think it's right?"
Wang Taishan was a little angry, and he spoke unscrupulously, a nameless fire was pressed in his stomach, as if he was about to explode at any time, thinking about the appearance of Xiaohuzi crying silently last night, but Wang Taishan was not an iron-blooded and ruthless person, he also understood that the king wanted to save face, and he had already given himself face if he didn't kill the beast, after all, his daughter was injured, and if the "fierce tiger" was not severely punished in public, what would be the king's face.
However, how did this Wu Cheng get injured, theoretically, it is impossible to defeat a juvenile white tiger at the level of a city defense officer mecha warrior.
"Now that the Mecha Tournament is about to be held, you have to do the next security work in place, and nothing unpleasant can happen. ”
"Prime Minister, in addition to the mecha warriors participating in the competition, it also attracted a lot of vendors, selling items at this event, as a result, there were more than 30 thefts, and a group of thugs robbed men and women, at present, more than 10 people in the royal city were attacked and injured, and there was a fire in the animal husbandry processing plant, and someone brought a demon beast into the city and knocked down a favorite statue of the king, which suffered heavy losses and needed to be maintained and repaired......"
"You, the city defense officer, are really in place, since the matter has happened, hurry up and repair it. ”
Master Ph.D. said on the side, "My lord, these things require money. ”
Wang Taishan immediately said to Zhang Baoji: "You are the Minister of Finance, you can solve this money." ”
Father-in-law Li Renjie of the Eagle Factory said with a smile: "Such a grand event will naturally make the people of Wangcheng excited, they will all make a lot of money, and it is also a good opportunity for the kingdom to make money." ”
Zhang Baoji smiled: "This is natural, I will encourage the people of Wangcheng to set up stalls." ”
Wang Taishan tilted his head and asked: "Is it just a stall?" Do you know that a mecha competition can do a good job in corresponding cultural activities, make mascots for sale, be designed by Wangcheng art frames, and be made in large quantities by craftsmen, making some mecha dolls, especially the image of the king's heavy mecha to show the king's prestige. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Don't do what I arrange, you have to give the people the opportunity to make money, so that more tax can be generated, good tax is not to fill the treasury by raising taxes, but to make the economy active, to have more creators to work, not everyone to be a nobleman...... The aristocracy is the enjoyer, it is the taxpayer who enjoys the support, the more the nobles, the fewer and fewer craftsmen, the peasants, the country will have problems in the future. ”
"My lord, we are in the era of mechas, and our agricultural production efficiency is very high. ”
"I want higher, I want grain exports!"
Legion Commander Tie Peng asked, "My lord, the mecha competition is about to be held, do you have any other instructions?"
Taishan looked at the crowd and said: "I don't like this kind of event, but I also found that such an event can bring a certain amount of economic income, Lord Zhang Baoji, from today onwards, if you can't pay off the king's arrears within a year, I will negotiate with the king to replace you." ”
Zhang Baoji smiled slightly and said, "No problem, don't worry, with a prime minister like you, I can naturally do it." ”
It will be closed, and the crowd will disperse.
"Doctor, please stay!"
Master Bo sorted out the documents, and finally left, but was stopped by Wang Taishan and asked, "What else is the matter?"
"I want to ask, is my master's death really a sudden illness?"
"I know something about his illness, and I said that it was an acute illness, but in fact, it was caused by years of hard work. ”
Wang Taishan said: "What did he do before he died, do you know about it?"
"He went to the National Library where I was in charge to find a classic, it was about the invasion of the Saint King Continent by Mecha Zero in Ghost Summer, and he said that he wanted to check out the families born during the War Zero. ”
"Then I'm also curious, what were the families at that time, let's go to the library and have a look. ”
"Follow me, my lord!" the Ph.D. bowed and followed Wang Taishan out of the palace conference hall.
