Chapter 292 [V148] Nine brothers know the truth, three little gentlemen
Everyone never expected such a dramatic scene. When the general Weiyuan of Nanzhao was disdainful to provoke Xiao Zhenting, everyone thought that this poor foreign envoy was going to be slapped in the face by Marshal Xiao, but Who would have thought that before the bow was drawn, it was Xiao Zhenting who slapped people in public?
The guests whispered.
"Then...is that really Marshal Xiao's armor? Could it be a mistake?"
"How could it be? Every time Marshal Xiao sets off on an expedition, I will see him off the street. I don't know how many times I've seen him wearing that armor. I can't admit it wrong!" said the first guest who exclaimed just now. He pointed to Pointing to the subordinate, "Is there any dent on the right shoulder? That was the one that Marshal Xiao had stabbed by the enemy when he first set out on the expedition, and the lower right abdomen..."
He pointed out the origin of every "scar" on the armor like a treasure. He said that he had nose and eyes, but everyone still couldn't believe it.
"Could it be a counterfeit?" said a guest.
"Who can imitate this?"
I am afraid that only Xiao Zhenting can answer this question, he will never admit his own battle armor.
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhenting, wanting to see from his face that it was a fake expression, but they were disappointed, Xiao Zhenting's eyes were cold enough to kill people, this is unlikely to be fake...
But that's weird isn't it? How did Marshal Xiao's armor appear on the envoys of Nanzhao?
"Oh! Why do you all have this expression? Is there something wrong with my subordinates?" General Wei Yuan asked innocently.
Where can everyone dare to answer?
Yu Wan looked at Xiao Zhenting not far away, and then looked at Yan Jiuchao beside her. She knew that this was a big trouble. Although she didn't know how Xiao Zhenting's armor fell into the opponent's hands, it was obviously not Xiao Zhenting's. He didn't know his original intention, and Yan Jiuchao didn't even know it. As for this General Weiyuan... Yu Wan felt that he was pretending to be stupid. It was to humiliate Xiao Zhenting with a battle armor.
I don't know why he did this, is he having a grudge against Xiao Zhenting, or is it just an excuse to hit the entire Great Zhou Dynasty in the face?
"His Royal Highness, why are you always staring at my subordinates?" General Wei Yuan saw that the crowd did not answer, and pointed his finger at His Royal Highness.
King Cheng broke into a cold sweat, thinking that today is really over, one after another, one is bigger than the other, so why not let people get married?
It was Xiao Zhenting who said solemnly, "Where did the armor on his body come from?"
General Wei Yuan said: "You said this, I bought it from a merchant in your Dazhou, hum, that merchant was so good, I bought it on impulse, and it turned out that it was like this. It's a piece of junk, so I gave it to my subordinates!"
The dignified God of War's iron armor turned into "rubbish things" in his mouth... Does this reckless man know that every scar on the iron armor represents a victory, it is not only the glory of Xiao Zhenting, but also the whole Zhou Dynasty of!
Everyone felt like they were going to be **** off.
To say that he was intentional, there is no evidence; to say that he was unintentional, it is really a motherfucker!
The second prince of the Xiongnu was an outsider, but he even noticed something was wrong. The people of Nanzhao were too arrogant, so blatantly embarrassing Marshal Xiao?
Xiao Zhenting's face was getting colder and colder, while Weiyuan General Helianqi was in a posture that Lao Tzu would not give in without knowing it. Just when the two sides were almost at war with each other, the head of the palace came to urge people.
"My lord! The food and drinks are ready, it's time to sit at the table!" said the **** in charge.
King Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "It's not good if the food is cold, Marshal Xiao and General Wei Yuan will discuss it another day!"
Today is King Cheng's happy day. When he speaks, everyone still wants to listen. The crowd scattered to both sides. Xiao Zhenting stood there with his eyes like torches, staring at the Weiyuan General He of Nanzhao for a moment. Lianqi.
He Lianqi smiled heartily: "Ah, it's time to eat. I happen to be hungry too. If Marshal Xiao doesn't mind, let's make an appointment another day."
After saying that, he threw the bow he had just picked up and threw it back into the hands of his subordinates, and then walked away.
The moment he walked out of the grassland, Yu Wan clearly saw a smug smile on his lips.
He really did it on purpose!
After everyone entered the table, Yu Wan returned to the Chong'an Hall. The matter on the pasture had not yet reached this place. The female relatives were all talking about the drama just now and the princess of King Cheng, but I am afraid that after tonight, they will The news of Xiao Zhenting's humiliation by the envoys of Nanzhao was about to be heard from her husband and son.
The news spread faster than expected, and when the banquet was only halfway through, the palace sent someone to announce Xiao Zhenting into the palace on the grounds of discussing government affairs.
The emperor made Yu Shaoqing so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, such a big thing happened again. The emperor felt that his hair could not grow well.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Zhenting stepped into the imperial study and bowed to the person sitting on the seat.
The emperor waved his hand: "The false ceremony is exempted. What is going on in the palace today? Is the armor really yours?"
Xiao Zhenting was not surprised that the news reached the emperor's ears so quickly. The emperor had a lot of eyes and ears, and even if he didn't go to the scene, there was someone watching his every move.
"Yes, it belongs to Wei Chen." Xiao Zhenting said truthfully.
Rao had guessed it, but he really surprised the emperor when he admitted it himself: "How did your armor get to the Nanzhao people?"
It wasn't that Xiao Zhenting let the reckless man humiliate him severely. The emperor almost wondered if Xiao Zhenting had done some shameful deeds with the Nanzhao people behind his back, and even offered his battle armor to please the other party!
Xiao Zhenting did not speak.
The emperor was angry: "What? Are you still dumb? I asked you something! What happened to your armor? Did you really sell it?!"
Helianqi himself announced that it was bought from a merchant who fought in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Ask Helianqi and the merchant to find out if it is true or not. This matter could not be hidden from the emperor. A is sold."
"You!" The emperor choked, "Can the armor be sold too?!"
The emperor didn't know whether to be surprised that he really sold it, or that he admitted it so readily.
At that time, I don’t know how many people coveted his armor, but he didn’t let any of it. Duke Wei bought his armor at a price of 100,000 gold, but he refused mercilessly, and his nephew Xiao Yan also always I want to get his armor, but I don't see him giving him--
The emperor took a deep breath: "How much did you sell?"
Xiao Zhenting said: "Fifty thousand taels of gold."
is still a bargain! ! !
The emperor was so angry that his lungs were about to explode: "Ten years ago, the Duke of Wei promised you one hundred thousand gold and you were not tempted, why are you now giving up for a mere fifty thousand taels? Xiao Zhenting, you are so mad at me! Say it! Tell me! Why are you selling it?!"
"It's for the young master."
Young Master's Mansion, Ying Liu will truthfully report the news from Shangguan Yan's mouth to Yan Jiuchao.
"The Gu Master offered a price of 100,000 gold, but Marshal Xiao couldn't get it, so he had to sell the armor. The rich businessman knew he was in urgent need and deliberately suppressed his price."
Duke Wei also had a crush on Xiao Zhenting's armor, and everyone knew that he offered a price of 100,000 gold.
Xiao Zhenting may be a good player on the battlefield. Bargaining is not his strength. It is not because he was 50,000 taels short of the price at the time. He can’t say anything lower than this price.
"Fool!" Yan Jiuchao clenched his fists.
"Could there be collusion between the wealthy businessman and the envoys of Nanzhao?" Ying Shisan asked, if there was, it was a trap.
Yingliu shook his head: "That's not true, Helianqi did encounter the wealthy businessman showing off his armor in a restaurant by chance. Those wine bags and rice sacks didn't believe that he bought the real armor. Helianqi believed it, so he spent a lot of money on the battle. A bought it."
Shadow Thirteen frowned: "He picked up a ready-made cheap one!"
Yingliu said again: "Marshal Xiao asked His Majesty to enter the palace. If you want to come, His Majesty also heard about it, and Zheng Longyan was furious."
The emperor doesn't care about a set of battle armor. The battle armor belongs to Xiao Zhenting. What he does with it has nothing to do with the emperor, but if someone uses the battle armor to hit the Zhou Dynasty in the face, the emperor can't just sit back and ignore it.
Yingliu sighed: "Your Majesty is afraid that he will anger Marshal Xiao."
Under the shadow of the lamp, Yan Jiuchao's eyes were a little scary.
The next day, an earth-shattering news spread in the capital - Marshal Xiao, who was too mighty and could not yield to wealth and wealth, actually sold the armor to Nanzhao people for tens of thousands of taels of gold. The rumors were always better than the truth, and the rich businessman played the role. The role was invisible in the rumors, and the whole thing became a deal between Xiao Zhenting and the Nanzhao people. Thinking that the Duke of Wei once offered a price of 100,000 taels, he was unmoved by it, and the Nanzhao people just gave it to him. After a mere 50,000 taels, he hurriedly gave up the armor. Such a flattering behavior was really disappointing!
There was a lot of scolding among the people, and there was a lot of noise in the courtroom.
It seems that everyone has forgotten how this man saved Li Min from life and death again and again. It was only this one thing that no one lacked a piece of meat, which made him easily fall from the altar.
Yu Wan guessed that Yan Jiuchao would not be in the mood to have fun after such a big incident, and left the three little guys in the room last night. When she woke up, Yan Jiuchao had already left. Liu truthfully reported to Yan Jiuchao, and did not hide it from her at all. She knew that Xiao Zhenting reluctantly parted his love in order to raise money for Yan Jiuchao's medical treatment, but no one expected that the accident of the envoy of Nanzhao would come. Jiu Chao seems heartless, but who can guarantee that he will feel better than her after hearing the truth?
"You guys have to be more obedient these days, do you know?" Yu Wan pinched the chubby cheeks of the three little guys.
The three of them looked at their mother in confusion.
Yu Wan dressed them and asked Tao'er and Li'er to take them down to wash.
The goat milk soup stewed in the kitchen was cool, and the three little guys turned their heads and drooled.
Goat milk soup is a new trick that the cook thinks. Take fresh goat milk and boil it. After cooling, remove the coagulated milk skin on it. Then add the boiled rice, a little snow salt, and air-dried mutton grains to make a pot of thick porridge. When the dried milk skin is cut into strips and sprinkled in, the porridge has a rich and mellow flavor and is full of milky fragrance.
Yu Wan couldn't eat this taste, but the little guys who didn't like milk liked it very much.
Yu Wan smiled and ate a small bowl of rice porridge. I wonder if it was getting hot, and her appetite was not as good as it was a few days ago. She was about to have the tableware and chopsticks removed when she heard the servant report that Bai Tang was coming.
Bai Tang has not been here for a while, Yu Wan misses her a little, and hastened to invite her into Qingfengyuan.
When she entered the house, the three little guys were still fighting for the yogurt. .
"Ah? How did you become a little fat boy?" Bai Tang stretched out his hand in a stunned manner and rubbed the trio's little fat cheeks a few times, "Well, it feels so good."
The three of them obediently let them pinch their faces. Not only were they not angry, but the little gentleman nodded in greeting, and handed over the right side of his face, as if asking Bai Tang if he wanted to pinch this side.
"Ouch!" Bai Tang's heart melted, how could there be such a cute child? I really want to take it back and get it swollen...
Bai Tang had a serious addiction.
The three little guys finished eating the goat milk custard, took the water from Tao'er and rinsed the little teeth, jumped down to the ground, and looked at Yu Wan cutely.
Yu Wan gently rubbed their little heads and said with a smile, "Go play."
The three bowed politely and reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Tang and Yu Wan, like three polite little gentlemen, they left the house in an orderly manner.
Bai Tang liked it so much that he wanted to cry.
Such a well-behaved child, she wants it! want to! want to!
But I didn't know that after leaving Qingfengyuan and making sure that their mother couldn't see, the three little gentlemen immediately turned into little devils, and hurriedly went to the house to uncover the tiles!
