Chapter 4 The fourth round Xiao Aosheng Prince
Unexpectedly, Fang Bao'er stood up, hugged her body tightly, and said: "No...it's not good, the sky is falling apart, let's run for our lives!"
The little princess gave a "puchi" smile and said, "Silly boy, who said that the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed? It's just that our boat hit the shore. What are you afraid of?"
Fang Baoer was stunned for a moment, and said, "We... are we on a boat?"
The little princess said: "Of course it's on the boat."
Fang Baoer said: "Since I'm on the boat, why can't I feel it at all? I'm always dizzy when I take other boats."
The little princess smiled and said: "Because this boat is too big. A small boat can rock, but a big boat can't... Hey, can you let go of your hands?"
Only then did Fang Baoer realize that she was still hugging her tightly, and quickly let go of her, but there still seemed to be a sweet and warm fragrance in her embrace.
The little princess stared and said: "Whether a man or a woman can kiss each other, why did you hug me just now?"
Fang Baoer said this sentence to others not long ago, but now he was said to himself, he blushed and stayed on the ground, really dumbfounded.
The little princess said loudly: "Say, what are you doing?"
Fang Baoer lowered his head and said: "I...I..." He felt that he was really wrong, but he had nothing to answer, anxious and uncomfortable, and almost shed tears.
Unexpectedly, the little princess suddenly smiled again, and said softly: "Don't feel bad, I'm just joking, but actually I like you hugging me, it's so comfortable!"
Suddenly stretched out a pair of small snow-white hands, hugged Fang Baoer's neck, kissed him lightly on the face, and ran away with a smile.
Looking at her fluttering white clothes, Fang Baoer felt sweet and sour... She didn't know what it was like, but she felt that she had never felt this feeling in her life, and it was really more wonderful than any other feeling in the world.
The little princess glanced back at him. For some reason, her little face also turned red, and she stomped her feet and said, "You are bad, you are dead, I... I will never talk to you again..."
The hearts of these two children are still so pure, they still have a vague understanding of the relationship between men and women, and they are hesitant to speak. Who can describe this scene and this feeling?
I saw the little princess sitting in the east corner with her head down, flicking her clothes, and Fang Baoer standing on her back in the west corner, dazed in a daze.
Neither of them spoke for a long, long time...
The little princess suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, are you dumb?"
Fang Baoer was dumbfounded by the thought, but still didn't speak.
The little princess said: "You promised me, how many things did you not do?"
Fang Baoer said casually: "Four pieces."
The little princess grinned and said, "I thought you were really dumb, so you can talk. Hey, let me ask you what are you thinking?"
Fang Baoer quickly shook her head and said, "I can't say it, I can't say it!"
The little princess blushed and said in disbelief: "Say, tell, I want you to talk!"
Fang Baoer murmured: "I... I was thinking... Now that the boat has docked, there must be many interesting things on the shore. It would be great if you could go and have a look!"
The little princess was stunned, then turned her back suddenly, and ignored Fang Baoer any more.After a while, I saw her lowering her head slightly, as if she was shedding tears.
Fang Baoer couldn't help rushing over, saying, "You... what are you doing?"
The little princess bit her lip, stomped her feet, and shook her hands: "Go, go away!"
Fang Baoer said blankly, "Tell me, why are you crying?"
The little princess said harshly: "Little thief, little villain, I won't tell you, but I won't tell you! Hmph, you weren't thinking about me just now, so I won't tell you anything!"
She said she would not tell, but in fact she told Fang Baoer. She was angry and she shed tears, just because she was thinking about Fang Baoer just now, but Fang Baoer was thinking about going ashore.
Fang Baoer sighed, and said: "Who said I don't miss you? I miss you all the time, I think you are going crazy!"
The little princess smiled through tears and said, "Really?"
Fang Baoer said: "It's true." But he couldn't help blaming himself secretly: "Why did I come out and learn to deceive people now? Sigh! It's not good to deceive people, but I wanted her to go ashore with me. I have to lie to her once, so I can take the opportunity to escape back, besides, I lied to her just to make her happy, not to have any malice towards her..."
The little princess tilted her head and thought for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Are there really many interesting things on the shore? I...I really want to go and see."
Fang Baoer said happily: "Let's go now, shall we?"
The little princess sighed softly, and said quietly: "Every year when the boat is about to dock, Daddy will think of a way to punish me and not allow me to leave the room for fifty days. It's only the thirty-first day now, how can I go out."
Fang Baoer sighed secretly: "It turns out that she has been on the boat all her life, but she has never even stepped ashore. Alas! No wonder she has only seen Daddy as a man! She is locked in the room all day, not reading and drawing, just thinking about it." , naturally know more about the more complicated things, and know nothing about the simple things in the world.”
Thinking of the loneliness of this kind of life, Fang Baoer couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and said, "Let's sneak out and keep your father from knowing."
The little princess widened her eyes, and said in amazement: "Then... Daddy is going to die of anger?" It seemed that she never thought of doing something against her father's order.
Fang Baoer said: "If your father didn't know, how could he be angry?"
The little princess just shook her head, Fang Baoer said: "Let's just go out and have a look before coming back, to see the red cherries, green plantains, small bridges, flowing water..."
He mustered his tongue like a tongue, and said all the beautiful scenery read in the poems. In fact, how can there be any cherries and plantains on the coast?
The little princess's black eyes rolled around, obviously moved by what he said, after listening for a while, she smiled and said: "Yes! If Daddy doesn't know, how can he be angry?"
Fang Baoer smiled and said: "I said you are a smart person, you can understand it once you think about it."
The little princess was even more happy to hear him praise herself, but she deliberately said: "Am I really smart? Humph! You must be lying to me. I only learned half a set of sword skills when I was five years old, and my father often scolded me for being stupid." ;When I was six years old..." She kept talking, just wanting to hear Fang Baoer praise her a few more times.
But Fang Baoer was afraid that she would divert the topic, so she deliberately pretended not to understand, and said to herself: "Is there anyone guarding this door? Can we sneak out?"
The little princess sighed in disappointment, and said: "There are many people outside the door, but... there is a secret passage in this room, which can lead to the upper front cabin living room. Once there, there is a way to get out."
Fang Baoer rejoiced and said: "Great, but...but will your father be in the hall?"
The little princess shook her head and said, "Daddy is in the study all day long, I've never seen him in the living room..." She walked slowly to a bronze mirror and started combing her hair.
Fang Baoer said anxiously: "If you want to go, go quickly!"
The little princess glanced back at him, and said angrily, "Look at you, if we want to go ashore, let me dress up first, otherwise how will I meet people?"
Fang Baoer said: "Girls like you are already the most beautiful people I have ever seen. You don't need to dress up at all, and you are already much more beautiful than others."
The little princess returned her anger and laughed, and said, "Really? I..."
Fang Baoer hurriedly cut her mouth and said, "It's true... Where is the secret path?"
The little princess stretched out Bai Shengsheng's little hand and pointed to the hanging embroidered curtain.There was indeed a secret door behind the embroidered curtain, the little princess opened it, walked in first, then turned her head and said, "I'm still scared, my heart is beating so hard."
Fang Baoer quickly thought of all kinds of words to comfort her.The two walked into the secret passage one by one, walked zigzagging for a while, and then went up another staircase.
The little princess whispered: "This staircase is the front cabin living room..." She grabbed Fang Baoer's wrist and walked up gently step by step.
Why isn't Fang Baoer's heart beating like a pounding.I saw the little princess pulled up a wooden peg and held up a wooden board, and a ray of skylight shot down from it.The two of them tiptoed out, and saw that the cabin was very spacious and gorgeously decorated, and there was no one there.
Fang Bao'er didn't care to look carefully, just wanted to look at the movement outside the window, when he heard footsteps coming, and he was about to reach the door.
Fang Bao'er couldn't help but secretly said: "It's bitter!"
The little princess's complexion changed even more, and she whispered: "No, someone is coming!" Holding Fang Bao'er's hand, she was about to retreat from the tunnel.
But the human voice was getting closer and closer, and it was too late to open the wooden board.The little princess and Fang Bao'er both panicked, and suddenly saw an embroidered curtain hanging from the floor at the back of the cabin, they both ran over and hid.The little princess whispered in Fang Bao'er's ear: "You are not allowed to move, you know? If my father finds out that I am disobedient and ran out, I will be unlucky, and you will be offended too."
Fang Baoer only felt itchy ears, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, just nodded.He was standing against the wall, and happened to be able to look out through the small gap between the wall and the curtain, so he couldn't help squinting his left eye and looking out with his right eye.
I saw six or seven tall, manly women sweeping the already extremely clean cabin, and then heard a burst of pleasant bells ringing all the way.
Fang Bao'er secretly said: "The little bell is here." With a thought, the light body of the girl in red, Ling'er, walked in, and said: "Have you finished cleaning?"
A strong woman said: "Report to Miss, it has been cleaned."
Ling'er said: "After cleaning, go out quickly! The guests are coming soon."
The strong women responded respectfully, packed up the brooms and buckets, bowed and retreated.
Fang Bao'er sighed secretly: "It's really unlucky, if you don't come sooner or later, the guest will come just when I can escape."
Suddenly, a limp body leaned towards her, and it turned out that the little princess couldn't help her curiosity, so she wanted to squeeze to the edge of the curtain to have a look.
But seeing Ling'er walking around in a circle, spreading her long skirt with both hands, Yingying bowed down and said: "The welcoming place has been cleaned, I respectfully invite Hou Ye to drive me."
Then there was the sound of the door being opened, and the rustling of dresses... Sixteen girls with clouds piled up on the palace temples and brocade skirts trailing the ground, each holding a palace fan with jasper as a pole and feather gauze as a face, strolled out. , separated on both sides.Then, four girls in palace costumes holding golden bowls in their hands strode out with a purple-shirted man, stepped across the red carpet, walked up to the Panlong chair behind the screen and sat down.
No matter how Fang Baoer turned her eyes, she couldn't see the figure of the purple-shirted man, but she could just glimpse a corner of his clothes from the girl's dress.
The little princess quietly took his hand, stroked his palm and said: "My father."
Fang Baoer nodded, wanting to see the face of this strange man even more in his heart, but he never dared to poke his head out, not to mention that even if he poked his head out, the body of this strange man in purple shirt would have been blocked by the screen long ago.
The screen was eight feet high and only half a foot above the ground. Fang Baoer still did not give up. She bent down and looked out with her face close to the ground, but she could only see the feet of the Zishan man and a pure white civet cat. Crouching at the feet of the Zishan man, it is still invisible from above.
At this time, another burst of orchestral sound came, the music was melodious, but it didn't know where it came from.
Ling'er prostrated herself and said, "Do you want to open the door to welcome guests at this moment?"
A lazy accent said from behind the screen: "You are the envoy to welcome the guests, and you can handle everything!" The voice was as gentle and natural as the mountains and rivers, and it seemed that the person who spoke seemed to be incapable of doing anything. Anxious, it seems that there is nothing in the world that can make him worry about it.
Ling'er said: "Yes!" She bowed to the ground again, Yingying stood up, turned and walked out.
Fang Baoer was still staring at the bottom of the screen, and suddenly saw a palm like a white jade hanging down from above, with slender fingers, soft lines, absolutely no dirt or blemish, but holding a small golden carp between the thumb and index finger , the white cat has been curling up lazily, and at this moment, as soon as its body grows, it swallows the golden carp, and then bends down lazily, while the palm of the purple shirt man is still stroking the cat's white soft fur, It seems to be extremely compassionate.Fang Baoer was surprised and delighted when he saw it, he was surprised that the golden carp was an extremely valuable item, a tail was already worth a hundred gold, but this person fed it to the cat, he was delighted that he finally saw this person's hand.
Ling'er walked out of the cabin door, walked over the clean planks of the ship, walked up to the bow, and bent down to look down.There were three rafts floating on the water in front of the bow, and dozens of people stood tall and short on the rafts.It turned out that the ship was too huge and had a very deep draft, so it could only come from the shore by raft.At this moment, Ling'er was standing high on the bow of the boat, against the blue sky and white clouds behind her, she really looked like a fairy in the sky.Dozens of people on the raft looked up from below, most of them were fascinated.
Ling'er smiled sweetly and said, "Are you here to see me, or to pay homage to my Lord Hou?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Ling'er continued to laugh and said: "If you all come here specially to pay homage to my Lord Marquis, please board the boat right now!"
There was a commotion on the raft, and everyone was scrambling to get on top.
Ling'er suddenly scolded again: "Wait a minute, Master Hou also gave the next name card, and only those who are famous on the card can board the boat. If your name is not on the card and you want to come up, then... well, I'm afraid You can't go down anymore, so don't blame me for not saying it up front."
There were whispers in the crowd, and suddenly a sharp voice said: "Your Lord Hou just came back from overseas, how do you know which of us are here?"
Ling'er smiled and said: "Is there anything my Lord Hou doesn't know?" He took out a piece of light paper from his sleeve and threw it down casually.
The sea wind was strong and the bow of the boat was high, everyone thought that the light note would be blown away by the sea wind, but they didn't know that the light note seemed to be supported by someone, and it floated down slowly and straightly, and someone in the crowd shouted: " The girl is so handsome!"
Ling'er smiled sweetly, and said: "Everyone, have you seen this famous post, has it ever been posted by the wrong person?"
Everyone saw that the name post was written on the well-known people who were waiting on the shore this time, almost none of them were missed, only a few notorious people were excluded.
Ling'er looked at the astonishment on their faces, she smiled secretly, and said: "If the name cards are good, please come up one by one." With a slender waist, she floated into the cabin.
I only heard the wind blowing from the sleeves behind me, making repeated noises, and more than ten people followed.These ten or so people are all top-notch masters of lightness kung fu, and they fell silently when they landed.
There were more than ten people on the raft, all of them turned their heads away in despondency, still muttering: "It's strange, how does he know who is waiting for him on the shore?"
If Fang Bao'er was there, he would have guessed that Ling'er had already gone ashore and quietly inquired about the origins of these people, opened up this list, met Fang Bao'er on the way back, and brought him back along the way.
But now Fang Bao'er is holding his breath and hiding behind the curtain, not knowing what's going on outside at all. After a long time, I saw Ling'er's white dress appearing at the cabin door, and saw more than ten pairs of feet following him, wearing more than ten pairs of various styles. All kinds of weird shoes, and one person was barefooted, Fang Baoer couldn't help thinking to himself: "Look at the grandeur of this Marquis, but the guests he invited are so strange."
I just heard Ling'er say: "Report to Lord Hou, all the guests have come."
The gentle voice said: "Please!"
Fang Baoer fell on the ground, only to see that when the dozen or so feet walked into the cabin following the bell, some people bowed to the ground, but most of them just paused their steps, as if they clasped their fists, and then sat down on both sides. Without even stopping in his footsteps, he walked straight to the side and sat down.Fang Baoer was eager to see the faces of these people again, and couldn't help standing up quietly, but when he looked out from the crack of the curtain, the bodies of those strange guests had been blocked by the sixteen girls in palace costumes again. Can't see it either.
Ling'er smiled and said: "Everyone has come from all over the world, and they must have important things to teach my Lord Hou. I really don't know which one should I ask to speak first?"
One person stopped and said, "since we have come here not far away, we are not in a hurry for this moment. What's more, what we are talking about is a big deal, and it can't be finished in a moment. It's better to ask someone close to you for a small matter." The one who speaks first." This person speaks in a gentle manner, although the pronunciation of the words is extremely accurate, but every word is said with great difficulty, which makes people listen to it, it is really unspeakable and uncomfortable , as if listening to the parrot.
Ling'er suppressed a smile and said: "Since that's the case, you can wait for a while, but I don't know which one is the one who is close to the road. Hope you can teach me?"
Some girls in palace costumes couldn't help laughing at it, and suddenly heard a person say in a deep voice: "Since you are modest, please come and ask Lord Hou for advice in Xiahuangzhou Tiejindao!"
His voice was heavy and full of energy, and a big man in brocade clothes came out following the sound.
Fang Bao'er could see clearly now, he saw that the purple-black face with the iron gold knife was majestic, although his beard and hair were all gray, he was still as energetic as a young man, and he was carrying a small red sandalwood box in his hand. Wearing a long knife obliquely, the scabbard is covered with jewels, which makes the brocade dress even more eye-catching.
Although Fang Baoer didn't know that this person's reputation was by no means inferior to that of his grandfather "Qingping Swordsman", but seeing his aura, he couldn't help applauding secretly.
Ling'er said: "Does Iron Hero know about Master Hou's rules?"
Tie Jindao bowed and said, "I know, but I dare not call you a girl."
Ling'er smiled and said: "When you were young, you used this golden knife to kill the seventeen bandits in Sichuan and Hubei alone. You should be called a hero. But you have a good reputation in recent years. It can be said that you have achieved fame and career. I don't know what else This matter must be resolved by my Lord Marquis... and then... since you know the rules of my Lord Marquis for nearly twenty years, you might as well take out the things you brought and let him have a look."
Tie Jindao saw that the young girl knew his past so clearly, he was secretly startled, bowed and said: "Obey!"
Open the red sandalwood box and hold it with both hands.Everyone only thought that there must be rare treasures in his box, but they didn't know that there were only a few scriptures in the box, and the paper was withered and yellow.
Tie Jindao said: "The younger generation presents the authentic Buddhist scriptures of Wang Xizhi's coming, please accept it with a smile."
Fang Baoer was taken aback when he heard it, because he knew very well that the Buddhist scriptures on Wang Xizhi's Ping Ding could be called an inestimable rare treasure.
The person in front of the screen sighed softly, and said: "It's hard for you, Ling'er accept it!" The voice was still lazy, as if even such rare treasures couldn't arouse his interest. .
Ling'er took the wooden box and said with a smile: "Since my Lord Hou has accepted your gift, if you have any difficulties, just speak up!"
Tie Jindao showed joy on his face, bowed and said: "I obey!" After thinking for a while, he continued: "More than 70 years ago, my Huangzhou Crouching Tiger Knife and Xinyang Panlong Hook emerged in the martial arts at the same time. Tigers and dragons, swords and hooks rule the roost'. It is really majestic and majestic, but..."
Ling'er laughed and said, "The simpler the words the better, don't brag about yourself."
Tie Jindao's cheeks were reddish, and he coughed dryly and said, "For decades, our two sects have called each other brothers, and our relationship is very close. Who would have thought that since Han Yigou took over the head of the 'Panlong Sect' seventeen years ago, the situation suddenly changed. Big change, Han Yigou actually claimed that the word 'Boiled Dragon' should have been ranked above 'Crouching Tiger', and he asked me to apologize and correct my mistakes, otherwise I would have to duel with me regularly. The Crouching Tiger should take the lead or the Panlong should take the lead."
Ling'er smiled and said, "If the name comes first, will there be more meat?"
Tie Jindao sighed: "Young lady is right, but this tone... Alas, Tie couldn't take it anymore, so he searched for a duel outside Xinyang City. Naturally, many people in the rivers and lakes came to watch the excitement. Knowing that in the first battle, the mere 720th move was wounded by his hook."
Ling'er laughed and said, "Are you really not convinced by the loss? Fight again in the second year?"
Tie Jindao sighed: "Miss guessed right. In the second year, I healed my injury and fought him on the spot again. That time the situation was even more lively. I fought hard with him for hundreds of times. I saw that I had gained the upper hand. Knowing that after the seven hundredth move, Han Yigou suddenly used that hook again, the move was exactly the same as the previous move, but I still couldn't resist it, and was injured by his hook again!"
Ling'er said: "You are still not convinced, there must be another fight in the third year?"
Tie Jindao said: "This time I was injured more seriously, and I can't fight him again until the fifth year, but under the great battle, hey... oh... oh..."
Ling'er said: "Did you lose again?"
Tie Jindao's face was both ashamed and angry, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Not only did I lose again, but I was still defeated by his move!"
Ling'er couldn't help showing surprise on her face, and said: "With your martial arts and experience, you will lose three times in a row with the same move? This is really strange. Sigh, the first time you lost, you just You should study his move carefully, and be careful the second time!"
Tie Jindao sighed dejectedly: "How can I not know this reason, I have studied that move carefully long ago, during the third duel, I even invited more than ten fellow masters to watch it together, and wait until the third duel After recovering from his injuries, he studied together with more than ten friends. Even if he gathered the intelligence of more than ten people, he still couldn't see the slightest flaw in his move, and he couldn't guess any changes after this move. Once this move is made, the winner will be judged!"
Ling'er asked, "How about the fourth time?"
Tie Jindao said in a deep voice: "For the fourth time, I will be on guard, step by step, practice hard for seven years, and then challenge him, but... alas!" He stomped his feet and bowed his head in silence.
Ling'er nodded and said: "I see, you still lost to that move for the fourth time, so naturally you want to beat him for the fifth time, but until now, you still can't see through the mystery of that move, so , you only came to ask for help from my Lord Marquis, but... but my Lord Marquis has never seen that move..."
Tie Jindao said: "I have already figured out the position, time, and direction of that move, and it's not bad. I can learn it now and show it to Lord Hou."
Ling'er sighed: "Since you already know the location, direction and time of this move, but you still can't break it, this move must be very powerful, I want to see it too."
Tie Jindao said bitterly: "The most powerful thing about this move is that it is unpredictable, so although I know his move, it is useless."
While speaking, he pulled out the golden knife from his waist, and said in a deep voice: "I will use the knife as a hook, but I hope Lord Hou will teach me!" Turning around, he stabbed straight out.
The blade was shining with golden light, like thousands of layers of golden scales flashing, at this moment when the blade stabbed out, the entire cabin was filled with golden blade light, dazzling people's eyes.
Suddenly heard a soft shout: "Good knife!"
Fang Baoer's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that the voice was very familiar, it seemed to be the voice of his big-headed uncle Hu Buchou.
But before he could change his mind, there was another sharp and piercing laughter in the cabin, saying: "Is this considered a brilliant move? Hehe, the moves performed by my three-foot child are stronger than this." Not only laughter It was sharp and ear-piercing, and the voice was even worse than the neighing of horses and the crowing of cows.
Tie Jindao stopped the move, and said angrily: "Tie has lost four times with this move, but my friend made this move like a joke, Tie wants to ask for advice..."
The horse neighed and said with a strange laugh: "A certain family is about to teach you!"
A figure flew up from a corner, and suddenly another figure followed him and pulled him down. Both of them were as fast as ghosts. I didn't even see the color of the clothes, but I could only hear the parrot-like voice just now: "Ziyihou is expensive, brother, if you are arrogant, don't you blame Ziyihou? If Ziyihou blames him, it's sad, sorry , Brother, how can you succeed in what you ask for?"
The horse neighed and laughed loudly: "Of course, I don't dare to be presumptuous!"
The more Fang Baoer listened, the more amusing he became, and the more he wanted to see what these strange people looked like, but until now, he still couldn't see it.
Tie Jindao held back his anger, turned around, and Zi Yihou's lazy voice came out from behind the screen again, saying: "This move is called 'Heaven Breaking Style', and it evolved from the ancient sword technique. , although it is not bad, but it is by no means flawless...Zhu'er, you have learned the sword technique and the hook technique, you can teach him." After finishing this sentence, he seemed to be very tired and had to rest Take a break, so stop talking immediately.
I only heard a charming voice behind the screen: "Yes!" A girl with palace temples came out gracefully, with four radiant pearls hanging on her head of black hair.
Hearing Zi Yihou's words, Tie Jindao told the origin of the name of this move, he couldn't help being surprised and admiring, but seeing that he wanted a weak girl to teach him martial arts, he felt a little disappointed in his heart , with some doubts, secretly said: "I have recruited this to many famous heroes in the Central Plains martial arts, but no one can crack it. Could it be that this little girl has such a great ability?"
Looking at his expression, Zhu'er knew what was going on in his heart, with a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand to gently pull on his arm, and said, "Come with me!"
Tie Jindao was pulled out by her involuntarily, and only then did she realize that although this woman looks fragile, she possesses unpredictable martial arts!
After that, five people, Situ Qing, Qi Changlin, Duan Yu, Xu Zuoche, Wu Yiping and others came out one after another, each offering their treasures.These five people are all well-known people in the martial arts world, they came here from a long distance, the treasures they offered were extremely precious, and the things they asked for were not trivial.
But Zi Yihou sent them away with a few words, his voice was still lazy, and he didn't take these treasures and things to heart at all.
When the five people all bowed and retreated, Tie Jindao was full of joy, strode in, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Ling'er laughed and said, "Have you learned how to break the law?"
Tie Jindao respectfully said: "My short conversation with Miss Zhu'er today is better than my 30 years of hard training in martial arts, I really don't know..."
Behind the screen, Zi Yihou said slowly: "This is not a difficult task. Now that you have learned it, let's go!" He didn't even want to listen to other people's compliments.
Tie Jindao bowed again: "Yes!" and stepped back.
Ling'er said: "The next one, whose turn is it?"
Only one person said coldly: "Let this horse speak first!"
The voice was stiff and cold, and Fang Baoer's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, "It turns out that Mr. Mu Lang is here too!" Then he suddenly thought: "So the little princess's father is the five-color sailboat... I wonder if Uncle Datou is here. ?... But if he comes, how should I go out to meet him?" For a moment, I was surprised, happy and worried.
The horse neighed and shouted angrily: "Wooden man, are you talking about a certain family?"
Mu Langjun's voice asked: "Do you eat grass?"
Ling'er covered her mouth with a chuckle, and roared like a horse neighing, "You...you eat..."
He didn't want to be hurt all his life, and at this moment he really wanted to retort, but he didn't know what to say, so he finally just roared angrily: "Come out!" A figure followed the sound.
Bao'er finally saw him at this point, he was wearing a multi-flowered brocade robe, he was thin and tall, but his back was hunchbacked, the upper half of his body was bent in front, his face was almost one foot and five inches long, at this moment In a fit of rage, he gasped in his nostrils, his appearance was no different from that of a horse, but Fang Baoer thought about what Mr. Mu Lang scolded him, and looked at his appearance, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Mu Langjun sneered: "Is this the place where you are looking for trouble?"
The horse-faced man stretched out his arms, and his whole body rang like bones, hissing: "If you don't come out, a certain family will arrest you!" Stretching out his hands, he walked over step by step.
Fang Baoer thought to himself: "He wants to fight here, isn't Zi Yihou too lazy to bother?" In fact, he also wanted to see this horse and that wooden man fight in his heart.
But suddenly Fang Bao'er's eyes blurred, and there was a round, shiny golden thing blocking the way of the horse-faced man, and a closer look revealed that this round thing was just a short and fat man with a golden crown on his head and a body around his body. A man who wears a golden robe and has a strange face.
Seeing that although the other person looks rich and prosperous, but his expression is sad, Fang Baoer secretly smiled and thought: "This person seems to be thinking about things all day long, but I don't know why he is so fat?"
The man in the golden robe said slowly: "In ancient times, there were many people who fought for the first, and those who rushed to the next. I have never heard of it. Why are you so pedantic? Why don't we say it first?"
The horse-faced man said harshly: "But this wood..."
The golden robe said humanely: "It's not too late for a gentleman's revenge in three years. If you want to saw wood, why bother to fight for a day, really? Really?"
Behind the screen Zi Yihou suddenly sighed and said: "Ling'er, if these two quarrel again, let's exchange him for some fine wine!"
Ling'er said: "Yes..." But she couldn't straighten up from laughing.
Fang Baoer didn't know what she was smiling at first, but suddenly remembered Li Bai's famous poem: "The five-flowered horse, the thousand-gold fur, Hu'er will go to exchange for fine wine." Look at the five-flowered robe of the horse, and then look at the man in the golden robe. With a fat and puffy body, Fangzi suddenly said: "Ah! Five-flowered horse, rich fur, wonderful, wonderful..." Although he could barely hold back his laughter, his stomach was already hurting, and the little princess had already bent down, her small face It's flushed - it's much harder to hold back a laugh than to hold back a cry.
The man in the golden robe didn't laugh or get angry, and said seriously: "We came from Dawan, how can you exchange us for wine?..."
Ling'er smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you came from a foreign country, please take out any presents you brought, and if you have anything, please tell me quickly!"
Fang Bao'er suddenly thought: "No wonder these people speak strangely, and their appearance is also strange. It turns out that they are not my descendants of the Yellow Emperor, but I don't know what they are asking for?"
The man in the golden robe unhurriedly took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, but the snow-white handkerchief was covered with spots of peach blossoms, like blood stains.
Ling'er frowned and said, "What is this?"
The golden robe said: "Since the Han Dynasty, the horse of my Dawan has been the most respected horse. The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sealed it with the word "Tianma". The sweat, blood, and horses produced by Ershiyu are also the sweat of the horse, and the lord of our country now wants to send it to His Excellency Hou Ye with three pairs of male, female, and heavenly horses."
Fang Bao'er is familiar with the history of Han Dynasty, and knows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once asked Li Guang to attack Dawan with an army of 100,000 in the first year of Taichu. Although they won, the human, financial and material resources lost are already innumerable, and it was only after sweating and blood.It can be seen from this that this Dawan sweat horse is really extremely rare.Today, the Lord of Dawan sent three pairs of Pegasus horses as a gift, and what he asked for was not trivial. Even those young girls couldn't help being moved when they heard the word "sweaty horses".
Ling'er smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, even the king of Dawan would ask my lord for something, but where is the horse? You can't do it if you just show us Ma Khan!"
The golden robe said humanely: "My brother is fluent in Chinese, is it possible for me to explain it?" He seemed to have racked his brains when he said this, his round face was covered with sweat, and now he wanted the horse-faced man to do it for him.
Ling'er said: "You should have let him talk a long time ago, hey, tell me!"
The horse face said humanely: "Three pairs of celestial horses have been transported to the coastal area, guarded by eighteen warriors from Dawan Kingdom, and they can be brought here at any time." Pointing to the man in the golden robe, he continued: "This is my family Gan. Sun, who holds the position of the teacher of the third country. This time we came to the east, because our country's majesty has long admired the respect for the master of swordsmanship, so he wants to invite him to come to our country to be the first teacher of the country, and teach swordsmanship to our country. The first country's teachers are high-ranking, only below the majesty, this treasure is the honor of honoring the prince, I want to respect the prince..."
Before the words were finished, Zi Yihou suddenly scolded softly, and said: "Look at your speech, you seem to be Han, don't you?"
The horse-faced man desperately tried to straighten his chest, but he was still hunched, and said: "A certain family used to be Han, but they have been favored by the Majesty, and have worshiped at the Majesty's knee..."
Zi Yihou sternly shouted: "Unexpectedly, among the dignified descendants of Yan and Huang, there are shameless scum like you who have forgotten their ancestors. His heart is humble and his deeds can be punished. If I didn't think that you are a guest today, I would have already taken you Head! But if you are met by this Marquis next time, hum! Don’t even think about surviving!”
The horse-faced man was originally complacent, but at this moment his complexion turned blue and white at the moment when he was scolded by these words. Fang Baoer was so happy and delighted to hear it that he almost couldn't help clapping, secretly said: "This Ziyihou The end is a great hero with great righteousness and majestic integrity, if my descendants of Yan and Huang have his national integrity, why worry about the barbarians not returning?"
The man in the golden robe was covered with beads of sweat, and he said in a low voice, "But...sweat and blood..."
Zi Yihou said angrily: "What kind of person do you think I am? Go back and tell your majesty, don't say three pairs of heavenly horses, even three thousand pairs, thirty thousand pairs, and don't even think about buying me!"
The man in the golden robe looked ashen, and said: "This... this..."
Suddenly, a man with yellow hair and blue eyes in a white robe jumped out, his movements were strange and unsurpassed, he looked like a rabbit jumping like a raccoon, but he was extremely light and fast, he just laughed and said : "Zi Yihou does not sleep horses on the sea, horses are not used, you can't ask for it, I will give it to you, please ask." This man's Chinese is even worse, not only his accent is blunt, but also his sentences cannot be coherent.
But there are all very intelligent people in the cabin, and I know what he meant by hearing the words: "Zi Yihou lives at sea all year round and doesn't need to ride a horse. Since what you send is useless, naturally what you ask for will not be what you want; what I send is Zi Yihou has useful things, and what he asks for will surely satisfy his wishes." Although they understood what they heard, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.
The blue-eyed man only thought that everyone else praised him for being right, and smiled more proudly than anyone else, and said: "I, Cyrus, came from rest (rest means today's Iran and ancient Persia), and brought many The presents belong to my king, and I am the king's..."
他一连说了三个“的”字，也想不到“使臣”两字该如何说法，方宝儿替他着急，恨不得代他说出来算了。
突听舱外一阵骚动，又有一个黄发白袍之人跃了进来，也是波斯人的打扮，身法亦是怪异已极，一纵人舱，便大叫道：“我，居鲁大士，是大王的使臣，你是什么东西……”此人言语生硬，但终究说出了“使臣”两字。
居鲁士满脸吃惊之色，道：“你，从哪里来的？”
那居鲁大士道：“我，安息大王叫我来的，还带来礼物。”双手一拍，四周白衣黄发人抬着两只大箱子走了进来。
居鲁士叽哩咕噜，说了一连串波斯语，居鲁大士却道：“在汉人地方，不能说汉人听不懂的话。”
居鲁士又着急又跺足，道：“这礼物是我带来的，我……我是使，你不是……”
居鲁大士道：“你吃屎，我不吃。”
这两人一扰一闹，众人已是笑得直不起腰来，却又不禁吃惊诧异，这安息使臣怎会弄出两个人来互争真假？
铃儿大叫道：“我家侯爷已被你们吵得头痛了，你两人如要争论，到一边去，吵个明白再来！”
居鲁大士道：“不错不错……”拉着居鲁士走到一旁，两人叽哩咕噜，又吵又闹，居鲁士只是跳脚，突觉胁下一麻，身子立刻软绵绵不能动弹，居鲁大士笑道：“好，你知道错，不吵了，坐着休息休息吧！”将居鲁士一推，居鲁士身不由主倒在角落里坐下，瞪了两只眼睛，口中却说不出一句话来。
那边紫衣侯道：“马嘶鸟鸣，实在烦人，换个说人话的出来。”
铃儿瞧了瞧木郎君，笑道：“你是说人话的么？”
木郎君直挺挺站起，手提包袱走了出来，道：“今日大宛、安息、身毒、交趾等异邦俱有人来，可见尊侯之名，实是四海所钦。在下带来之礼物虽不能与异邦异宝相比，亦望尊侯笑纳。”
铃儿笑道：“果然是人话，你求什么？说吧！”
木郎君打开包袱，满堂宝光辉映，映得木郎君更是颜色如木。方宝儿见了他就生气，忍不住地做了个鬼脸。
但木郎君哪里瞧得见方宝儿，只是沉声道：“在下木郎君，来自东方青木宫，家父木王……”
紫衣侯缓缓道：“不用背家谱了，你的来历我知道。”
木郎君道：“家父日前不慎被白水宫妖女所伤，全身溃烂，神功将散，普天之下，唯有尊侯所藏之'大风膏'可治此伤，是以在下不远千里而来，带来敝宫之珍宝，求尊侯赐给些灵药。”
紫衣侯懒洋洋笑道：“青木宫主人昔日领袖天下绿林，这批珍宝只怕不是宫中带出来的吧？”
木郎君道：“无论如何，这总是在下一番心意。”他面上神色不动，只因他容貌如木，纵然脸红，别人也瞧不出。
紫衣侯缓缓道：“话也有理，此事又非困难……”
突听一人大嚷道：“不行不行，困难困难……”一个人兔鹿般连蹦带跳赶了过来，竟是那居鲁大士。
木郎君大怒道：“夷狄野人，也敢来多事？”
居鲁大士理也不理他，向紫衣侯长揖道：“吾等请求在先，尊侯总得先看了咱们礼物，决定是否答应吾等要求之后，才能答应他的。”他话声听来虽仍蹩蹩扭扭，但倒也十分通顺。
木郎君怒道：“为什么？”
铃儿久闻那安息国人手工精巧，早已想瞧瞧他们带来的是些什么奇巧之物，此刻便笑道：“让他们远道来客先说说有何妨？反正你也不着急在这一时。”
木郎君冷“哼”一声，忍住怒气，退到一旁。
只见居鲁大士拍掌命人抬来第一口箱子，笑道：“尊侯此地布设虽如天宫，但还嫌少了样东西。”
铃儿忍不住问道：“是什么？”
居鲁大士启开箱子，自箱子里拿出一条地毯，命大汉展将开来，只见那地毯光华闪闪，也瞧不出是什么质料织成的，上面织的乃是安息后宫行乐图，将千百个人物织得栩栩如生，神情各有不同，男的醉态可掬，有的举杯劝饮，有的怀抱美女，有的惺忪着醉眼瞧着筵前的歌舞。
那女的却是一个个娇美妖艳、体态婀娜，眉宇间所带的风情，令人见了更是心旌摇荡，难以自主。
厅中无论长幼老少，不知不觉间都瞧得痴了，就连紫衣侯也不禁喟然叹道：“安息国人手工之巧，当真巧夺天工。”
居鲁大士缓缓道：“吾国之人手织地毯，代代相传，每家各有秘传绝艺，这幅地毯却是吾国大君集合国中所有巧匠共一百七十人，耗资千万以上，费了三年之力，方自织成，敢说普天之下只此一条而已，贵地若是铺上这条地毯，便是皇宫大内也要相形见绌了。”
铃儿动容道：“你送的如此重礼，所求的是什么？”
居鲁大士笑道：“这礼物也算不了什么，更妙的还在后头。”举手一拍，大汉们又将第二口箱子抬来。
众人见了这条地毯如此珍贵，都不禁动了好奇之心，忍不住想瞧瞧这第二口箱子的宝贝是什么。
紫衣侯却缓缓道：“你先说出要求，再瞧也不迟。”
居鲁大士笑道：“尊侯是怕吾等所求又是与大宛国人相同，是以不愿先看，免得看了心动，是吗？”
紫衣侯道：“你倒聪明……”
居鲁大士道：“尊侯此等民族大义，吾等好不相敬，但尊侯只管放心，吾等所求，只是求尊侯三年内莫将那'大风膏'送给任何一人。”
这安息使者不远千里而来，送上如此重宝，所求的竟只是这么件事，众人都不禁听得一愕。
角落中那已被点了穴道的居鲁士更是听得满头青筋暴露，眼睛瞪得滚圆，几乎要冒出火来。
木郎君怒喝道：“好混帐的东西，莫非专门要和我捣乱么？”
铃儿拉住了他，笑道：“反正我家侯爷也未见答应于他，先瞧瞧他箱子里是什么又有何妨？”
木郎君道：“但……”
铃儿面色一沉，道：“我家侯爷若是要答应他，你阻拦又有何用？”
木郎君虽明知她是想瞧箱中之物，但听了这话也无可奈何，只得含恨忍住怒气。
铃儿眼睛一瞪居鲁大士，道：“还不打开箱子，等什么？”
居鲁大士道：“是！”
箱盖一启，箱子里立刻传出一阵悠扬的乐声，一个身长不及三尺的侏儒手捧五弦琴，当先跃了出来，随地滚了五个筋斗，滚到紫衣侯面前，叩了三个头，跃到一旁，挥弦作乐。
这侏儒身形虽如婴儿，但面容已如成人，众人见了，已是啧啧称奇，谁也想不到箱子里竟有个活人。
