Fortunately, Cangsuo did not die in the end and was revived by the bamboo monster.
The bamboo monster pecked tirelessly all night, and Cangsuo finally transformed from a king centipede back into human form.
At this time, Cangsuo was already very weak. Although his consciousness was still clear and he knew what was happening, he no longer had the strength to turn over or raise his head.
Zhang Xuan put away the bamboo monster and let Cangsuo lie on the ground to regain his strength. He himself lay on a soft chair to rest, and soon fell asleep.
When he woke up, he saw Cang Suo sitting on the ground with his eyes blank.
"My lord, you have slept all day."
Cangsuo heard Zhang Xuan getting up, raised his head and said.
"Well, I've been working for you all night, and I'm tired." Zhang Xuan stretched slowly and responded calmly, "You don't know what happened last night, right?"
"I know, I know!" Kurosuo said, "Although I was dazed at the time, I didn't completely lose consciousness."
"So, you know that you have become an emperor centipede?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"I know that I am changing from a human to a monster, but I am not very clear about what kind of monster I have turned into." Cangsuo said, "If adults hadn't saved me, my life would have been completely ruined. Alas!"
"For you, this is nothing but your own fault." Zhang Xuan said coldly, "Monsters harm people. Even children know this. As a dear emperor, you are well-informed, but you like to get along with monsters. Doing such a thing What a sin!"
"It was because I was blinded by lard for a moment that I did such ridiculous things!" Cangsuo said with a shameful face and a bitter smile, "If this matter is revealed, it will not only embarrass me personally, but also make me lose face." The entire Bataan dynasty has learned a profound lesson, but fortunately there were no tragic consequences."
"Hmph, the consequences are not painful, but the lesson is painful. Let me ask you, how did those big monsters and little monsters come to your door? Did you open the door and bow to the monster?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Hey, talking about this, there is some reason." Cangsuo responded, "There is a hanging spirit tree in my palace, and I usually regard it as the treasure of the palace. The hanging spirit tree is very weird, unusual There are only ten hanging fruits, which ripen every twenty years. Because the growth cycle of the hanging fruit is particularly long, it is considered a rare fruit and has unusual nutritional value."
"I'm asking about the demon, and you're talking about the tree. Is there any relationship between the two?" Zhang Xuan said with a frown, a little impatient.
"What I'm going to talk about next is exactly the relationship between them." Cangsuo responded, "Suddenly one day, Barbarian Tiger and Qinghe came to me and revealed their identities directly, claiming that they were monsters and specially hung spirits. The fruit comes. I was surprised when I heard the words and said, "Two great demons, this hanging spirit fruit is a thing in my palace. Mortals may gain some nutrition if they eat it. You are all great demons, so eating it may not mean anything." "
"So, how did Manhu and Qinghe respond to you?"
"They said that this Hanging Spirit Fruit is a kind of fairy fruit. It is a waste for mortals to eat it. Only when they eat it can the big monsters improve their cultivation and breed immortality. In order to prevent other big monsters from coming to fight for it, they must be here. Garrisoned.”
"These two damn guys are really not afraid of expending effort in order to eat the Hanging Spirit Fruit!"
"I was very scared at the time. I was afraid that the two big monsters would harm me, and I was also afraid that they would mess up the palace. But they vowed not to do anything that would harm me or the royal family members, and claimed that they would do some good things that would benefit the dynasty. As a deal, I must hire them as national advisors."
"Next, they set a standard for you and encouraged you to raise the price of salt?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Hey!" Cangsuo coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "Not only that, they also said they would revive the glory of our Bataan Dynasty and let the other two big countries, Chaina and Fulao, look up to us and be our servants country."
"So, you became so ambitious that you sent envoys to Chaina and Fulao to mock the king and provoke the courtiers?" Zhang Xuan asked with burning eyes.
"Now that I think about it, that kind of behavior is extremely absurd and makes me regret it endlessly." Cangsuo said, "Even if the two national masters Manhu and Qinghe go out in person, they may not be able to conquer the two countries of Chaina and Fulao, let alone , the fact is right in front of you, as soon as you take action, the two national masters immediately stopped, and even I, the majestic monarch, made you laugh!"
After saying that, he lowered his head in shame.
"You don't have to be so downcast, as long as you realize your mistakes and correct them," Zhang Xuan said, "Fortunately, it hasn't become a big mistake yet, and it's still too late to correct it."
"Sir, fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise it would have been an irreparable mistake!" Cang Suo sighed.
"I said that the envoy Nu Shen you sent to the Caina Kingdom has been killed by me." Zhang Xuan said, "I came here not only to destroy the demon, but also to inform you. If you are a father If you are evil, then I will not be polite. As for your two so-called national masters, they are both great monsters, and I will surrender or kill them no matter what."
"That damned slave, he despises the king of the state, provokes the courtiers of the state, and especially offends you, sir. Just kill him. He deserves to be killed!" Cangsuo changed his previous arrogant attitude and directly called the state of Chaina. Shang Guo lowered his body to the dust and said, "Through your teachings, I have realized my mistakes. I plan to change my mind and be a new person. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"You are the king of a country, you don't need to show any loyalty to me." Zhang Xuan said with a frown.
"No, you are my nobleman and my savior. No matter how much I show my loyalty, I will never be too loyal!" Cang Suo said firmly, "From now on, I will obey your orders in everything. Whatever you say will be yours." .”
"If you ask me, you should lower the rising salt price first, so that the people can live a good life for a few days. Do you think that the people only eat a little bit of salt every day, and the rising salt price will have little impact on them, or in other words, It doesn't hurt to cut off the flesh, but in fact it is a more narrow-minded exploitation of the people, which is very harmful! No responsible government will manipulate prices to benefit itself and harm the people." Zhang Xuan looked coldly. scolded.
"Okay, I will handle this matter later and try to get it done as soon as possible. Also, I plan to set up a stabilization fund to stabilize prices as much as possible so that the people will not suffer from rising prices." Cangsuo responded.
"Hey, you actually know how to govern the country well!" Zhang Xuan said, "Knowing it but not doing it, or even doing the opposite, you are really losing your mind."
Hearing this, Cangsuo was speechless for a moment.
"Let's go, take me to see the hanging spirit tree!" Zhang Xuan said as he got up and walked out.
Cang Suo hurriedly climbed up and followed Zhang Xuan, nodding and bending to point in the direction.
After twisting and turning, he came to a relatively open place. Cangsuo pointed to a tree in front of him that was surrounded by green grass and said, "Sir, this is the Hanging Spirit Tree!"
Zhang Xuan took a closer look and found that the tree looked really weird. The tree itself was about three people tall, not very tall, but the tree was surrounded by grass. The stems of the grass were tilted towards the center of the crown, as if there were There is a strong attraction that attracts them.
The crown of the tree is not very large, and there are not many branches and leaves. There are ten olive-shaped green fruits hanging randomly among the leaves. These must be hanging spiritual fruits.
"Sir, these Hanging Spirit Fruits are extremely nutritious. Would you like to pick one and try it first?" Cang Suo asked flatteringly.
Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you understand the principle that a man is not guilty but carries a jade with him?"
Cangsuo nodded and responded: "Sir, look at what you said, how can I not understand such a simple truth!"
"As long as you understand!" Zhang Xuan said, "Your hanging spirit tree, the so-called treasure of the palace, is equivalent to a man's jade. You should understand this, right?"
"This this--"
Hearing this, Cangsuo couldn't help but murmur.
"This hanging spirit tree is actually a tree that attracts monsters. It may attract all kinds of big monsters in the future." Zhang Xuan said, "So, this tree cannot be kept. I must take it away. I am so I actually do it for your own good, I hope you can understand."
Cang Suogu rolled his eyes in thought, thinking that what Zhang Xuan said made sense, so he said: "Then I will listen to you, sir. Just take it away."
