After killing Yun Ji, Shen Douke snorted with a straight face: "When your husband is born in the world, he should trust and keep his promise. If he dies, he will die. Why do you act so ugly!"
There was silence on the alliance platform, except for the sound of servants rushing up to drag away the body and wipe away the blood.
After everything was done, Dazai Bo Gui said feebly: "The tribute of the spiritual elixir is coming from the country of Yong... Now we are going to test the art of weapon refining, please let the swordsmen from the four countries go..."
Dao Baifeng untied her clothes and looked at Wu Sheng who was being helped back by Mo You and Yue Zhong. She nodded, took a deep breath and said loudly: "I want to test..."
Before he finished speaking, the swordsmen from the three kingdoms of Yu, Kui, and Kui already shouted in unison: "Please give the order, Dazai, and we will inspect the magical weapons of all countries!"
The qigong masters from the four countries who were about to go on stage all asked to see other people's magic weapons. This must have been affected by the elixir competition just now, but only Wu Sheng knew that it was pointless for them to do so. He wanted to go up together to help with the inspection, but Dazai Bogui wouldn't allow it, and he had no reason to do so, so he could only regretfully give up.
Dao Baifeng comforted Wu Sheng: "Don't worry, Alchemist Shen. Dao must be as you said. Check carefully and try to figure out the opponent's moves. Uphold a noble and upright spirit, respect the opponent, respect Dazai, and you will be able to use the method." Qi Zhi Gong takes back Dayong's hand!"
Wu Sheng was speechless. Looking at his confident eyes, he could only send out his sincere wishes: "Come on..."
Dao Baifeng was stunned: "Oil?"
Wu Sheng waved his hand: "In short, it's just hard work!"
Dao Baifeng nodded solemnly: "Here!" and whispered: "Actually, Dazai Bogui is biased in his actions. Dao cannot respect him, but Yuan Sima... I want to respect my opponent. , Respect Sima, is that okay?"
Wu Sheng said: "Yes!"
With Wu Sheng's approval, Dao Baifeng turned around and shouted to a Yongguo guard beside him: "Bring me some wine!"
The guard untied the sheepskin bag and handed it over. Dao Baifeng took a big sip and shouted: "Bring the oil!"
The guard scratched his head and whispered a few words to a servant from Yongguo behind him. The servant turned around and quickly presented a strip of white mutton fat on a plate. Baifeng took the knife in his hand and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Said: "Good oil... vomit... um... the oil is full, waiting for me to kill the enemy!"
A row of wooden racks for magical instruments was erected on the field. Among them were the magical instruments of the four countries. They were swords, halberds, and bows. These were the magical artifacts that the Chu State requested from the four countries this year, and they were also used in the competition later. thing.
The swordsmen from the Four Kingdoms came to the stage and came to the wooden stand. They inspected each other's magic weapons and weapons. They inspected each other for a long time. Except for Dao Baifeng, who looked ashamed and did not move, the other three tied red silk ribbons on their heads and stood in front of the alliance platform. .
Dazai Bogui was about to announce the start of the competition and let the four swordsmen draw lots and then fight against each other, but he was called over by Mr. Yu.
"Dazai, did you see it?"
"Your Majesty is saying..."
"The swordsman of the mediocre country."
Bo Gui turned his face and looked at Dao Baifeng again, and sneered: "Dao Baifeng? His surname is Dao, he must be a Baiyue barbarian. Hu Tiema is the top swordsman in my big fish this year, and his reputation is spread in the land of Southern Chu. How can it be so?" Is this what this Baiyue swordsman can achieve? Look at him, he doesn’t dare to tie the red silk ribbon, and he doesn’t have any intention of dying, so how can he win? Your Majesty, don’t worry!”
Mr. Yu shook his head slightly and whispered, "What did I see him eating just now?"
Bo Gui was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment, and said, "Have you eaten wine... and... mutton fat?"
Yu Jun said: "He said it was mutton oil, so it was mutton oil? Before eating it, I saw that he had talked with the alchemist named Shen for a long time. I'm afraid it's something else!"
Bogui suddenly realized: "Maybe it's He Lingdan! This guy was almost fooled!"
After that, he strode to the Chu envoy Shen Douke and explained the situation. Shen Douke nodded and summoned the kings of the four countries to discuss how to deal with it.
Dao Baifeng watched the monarchs and officials on the alliance platform chatting fiercely about something, while the young master Qingyu tried hard to distinguish what was going on. The quarrel gradually became louder, and finally he heard a few words, and suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, after a while, Young Master Qingyu stopped talking and his face turned frighteningly dark.
Dazai Bo returned and announced loudly: "The Yongguo swordsman took a foreign substance before the competition. It is suspected to be a magic pill. It is against the rules. He will be kicked out of the field and no competition will be allowed!"
Dao Baifeng was stunned, and shouted unwillingly: "Foreign Minister - what an injustice -"
It's a pity that he, a mere corporal of Simamen, had no right to defend himself in the discussion between the king and the ministers who were the abbot of Chu, so he was immediately expelled from the scene.
Dao Baifeng came to Wu Sheng frustrated, her eyes red.
Wu Sheng did not expect such an accident, so he could only comfort him: "The envoy of Chu favored the Yu Kingdom and treated me Dayong unfairly. This is not Brother Dao's fault."
Dao Baifeng clenched his fists for a long time and finally managed to say: "What I eat is mutton fat."
Wu Sheng patted him on the shoulder: "I know, Yuan Sima knows, Young Master also knows, everyone knows. If the country is not strong, that's how it is. We can only let the Fish Kingdom collude with Chu envoys to bully us. When the country becomes strong in the future, , find them all together!"
Dao Baifeng gritted his teeth: "This Shen Douke deserves to die!"
Wu Sheng greatly agreed: "No one named Shen is a good person!"
Dao Baifeng was directly kicked out and could not participate in the league competition, so he could only watch from the sidelines. He was still angry at first, but after watching the two battles, he was shocked speechless by the performance of Hu Tiema, the swordsman from the Kingdom of Fish. In both battles, there were no more than ten moves, and the swordsmen from the two countries, Kui and Lu, escaped. Without a chance, he was killed on the spot.
When Wu Sheng comforted him, "This means Brother Dao didn't play, otherwise blah blah blah", he shook his head in frustration: "Stop talking, Master Shen Dan, Dao is ashamed of himself."
For Wu Sheng and Yong Guo, it was indeed a blessing that Dao Baifeng was deprived of his qualifications. Even Wu Sheng could see that this guy named Tiema was definitely a ruthless person. If Dao Baifeng really ended up fighting, he would come back. It must be a corpse.
At this point, the outcome of the alliance has been decided. In the next three years, Yongguo will undertake elixirs, spiritual materials and rice, with a total value of 550 gold per year. This price is the market price of Yangzhou, but the actual cost is less than 400 gold. In other words, the income of more than 150 gold belongs to Yongguo, which is equivalent to saving a large amount of tribute burden for Yongguo every year.
Among them, the total price given by Chu State for the two thousand elixirs that Wu Sheng fought for was three hundred gold, which is equivalent to one hundred and fifty ant nose coins for each elixir. Prince Qingyu had promised Wu Sheng, as long as he can regain the right to pay tribute to the spiritual pill, he will buy it from Wu Sheng for a total price of two hundred and thirty gold. This alone will save Yongguo seventy gold!
For the rest of the tribute, the Kingdom of Yu will receive the magical artifacts, the Kingdom of Kui will receive the spiritual wine and silk fabrics, and the Kingdom of Lu will receive the animal skins, and the agreement will remain unchanged for three years. The above-mentioned covenant was recorded, and the kings of various countries and the Chu envoy Shen Douke pressed their fingerprints.
The guards took out a wild dog that had been prepared long ago, slaughtered it on the spot, hollowed out its internal organs, offered it to the gods, stuffed the covenant into the hollowed-out dog's belly, and buried it under the alliance platform, which meant that the covenant was completed. Under the supervision of immortals and gods, no country can violate it.
In short, for Yongguo, this was an alliance with benefits far beyond expectations. It can be said that the young master Qingyu was lucky enough to not humiliate the country and led the army back to Shangyong in high spirits on the way.
On the way, Prince Qingyu invited Wu Sheng into the car and asked, "I would like to appoint Mr. Shen as a corporal. I wonder if Mr. Shen is willing to give in?"
