Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Chapter 52 [Tribute]

Those women in white clothes who were standing still just now, like wooden figures, all started to move at this time... The so-called movement seems to be that the body is shaking slightly, or there is some shaking, anyway, it doesn't seem to be too big. It's quiet, but there's not much movement to say the least.

The girl who was very similar to Xing'er had been staring at Bai Yutang, her eyes were not as empty as before, as if she wanted to say something.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had no medical skills, but they could tell that there was something wrong with these girls.

As for Gongsun, a genius doctor, he couldn't hold it anymore, but he couldn't go over and say, "Girl, are you feeling unwell? I'll give you a pulse..."

At this moment, a very beautiful maid came over with a big food box and said a few words to the white-haired Eunuch Chen.

Eunuch Chen smiled, and whispered a few words to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Aiqing and all of you are here to envoy, my concubines made some hometown desserts for you to taste."

All the ministers knew that the concubines like Zhao Zhen were smart and well-behaved, and they were used to it, but the envoys were surprised that they could taste the cakes made by the concubine himself?

The maid carried the food box and walked to the nearest table with the Eighth Prince and the others.

Seeing the fourth son, I specially gave him two extra yuan.

Zhao Pu poked the little four who was holding the pastry in his mouth, "Little four, share some snacks with all the uncles."

The fourth son blinked, and saw Zhao Pu winking at him, and pouted at the women in white clothes over there.

The fourth son got up to look for the pastry, with a piece of cake in his mouth, I don't know if he understood.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang——Zhao Pu wanted the fourth son to test those women in white clothes?

Bai Yutang frowned slightly - the fourth son understood what he meant?

Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun subconsciously.

Gongsun held his cheeks and shook his head at the two of them—how could that little idiot understand such a profound hint, just don't make trouble.

The little four shared cakes from table to table, and their mouths were also sweet, calling uncle uncle.

All the ministers now know that this is the little prince, and the fourth son is very cute, all of them are smiling, not to mention being polite.

When the envoys were divided, those envoys also knew that this was Zhao Pu's godson, and they were very kind.

They were assigned to Yao Susu's table, and the fourth son reached out to hand over the pastry, calling him "Auntie".

Yao Susu reached out to take the pastry, thanked him, and asked, "Little Si, where are you from?"

The fourth son replied, "He's from Shaoxing."

"Oh..." Yao Susu nodded, "Like Zhan Zhao, he is from Jiangnan."

On the opposite side, Bai Yutang frowned slightly - Yao Susu was trying to trick the fourth son out of Zhan Zhao's ancestral home.

The fourth son smiled, "Yes."

Yao Susu and the fourth son said something else, but the little guy was absent-minded, sharing the cakes here, while sneaking a glance at the woman in white behind Tang.

The corner of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched slightly - it didn't come out.

Gongsun held his chin and curled his lips - the fourth son of his family doesn't like to talk nonsense with strangers.

Yao Susu saw that the fourth son hadn't been recruited, so she continued to ask, "Sir, how old are you this year?"

"Five years old." The fourth son replied, muttering in his heart-in fact, if you are over four and a half years old, you can still be considered five years old...

"I can't tell." Yao Susu smiled, "Some people look much younger than their actual age. I only know one. They are all in their [-]s, and they look like they are only in their thirties."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao—does she know your grandfather, or my master?

Zhan Zhao frowned, did Yao Susu really have something to do with the Demon Palace?I don't know if it's loyal or treacherous, will the fourth son be tricked out...

After the fourth son heard it, he nodded, "Yes, that's called Zhuyanshu."

After finishing speaking, the cakes here were finished, and I ran to the next door to watch Tang's table.

Gongsun lowered his head and held his cup to hold back his smile, Yao Susu gritted his teeth - this little idiot has such a tight mouth.

The fourth son came to look at their table, Zhao Pu gave him a wink just now, and the fourth son was there before, knowing that everyone said there was a girl who looked like a missing maid from Bai Yutang's family, she seemed to be My name is Myolie.

Zhao Pu's wink at the fourth son just now, the fourth son naturally didn't understand what it meant, but he felt that since he was an acquaintance, let's divide it into two!

So, the fourth son kept stuffing pastries into the hands of the girl who looked like Xing'er.

Xing'er was full of pastries in her hands, and the fourth child raised her face and smiled at her, but saw Xing'er's mouth opening and closing, as if she wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound.

The little four thought to himself——Could it be that he is a mute?

But Xing'er's face twitched a little, she seemed to be in pain, and the fourth son thought she must be sick, so he stretched out his hand to press her wrist, and felt for her pulse...

As soon as the fourth son pressed Xing'er's wrist with his fingers, the eye-catching Tang from the side hurried over, "Little prince, have you finished all the cakes?"

The fourth son looked down at the empty food box, nodded, "It's over."

"Then let's go to eat quickly, please trouble the little prince." Mu Zhaotang made it clear to chase the fourth son away.

The fourth son looked at Xing'er again, and saw that she had changed back to the dull look before, standing still and not responding.

The fourth son ran back to Gongsun.

Gongsun hugged him onto his lap and asked in a low voice, "What's the pulse?"

The fourth son rubbed his chin, "Getting pulse."

After hearing this, Gongsun nodded, seemingly puzzled.

Zhao Pu beside him didn't know what the pulse was, so he leaned over and asked Gongsun, "What's the situation?"

"Consolidation of the pulse means that the Qi pulse is not smooth, the blood is stagnant, and the appearance of illness." Gongsun looked at the fourth son, saw him in a daze with a spoon in his mouth, and asked, "What else did you find?"

The fourth son tilted his head——um...

Gongsun didn't press him anymore, after all, it's only a short time, and it's already pretty good to be able to get out the knot.

Bai Yutang looked at the people behind Mu Zhaotang again, and after the brief moment of uneasiness just now, he returned to the stone man's expression, changing back and forth, what is the mystery.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Hei Ying hurried in and whispered something in Zhao Pu's ear.

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, "Are you here?"

Sombra nodded.

Zhao Pu winked at Zhao Zhen above.

Zhao Zhen smiled lightly and continued drinking.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—Zhao Pu and the others said early in the morning that they were going to prepare something, and that there was a good show to watch, could it be this?

Just as he was thinking, a guard came to report that the Xixia envoy had arrived.

The important minister looked at the seat where the Xixia envoy was sitting with some doubts. Several people had already come, why did they still come?

Looking at the Xixia envoys, their faces were pale and embarrassed.

Zhao Zhen pretended not to know, and asked, "There are two envoys from Xixia?"

The guard reported back, "It is the Great General Protector of Xixia, Min Tuoluo."

"Oh..." There was a clear expression on Zhao Zhen's face, but from the eyes of the courtiers who were familiar with him, the emperor's eyes were full of smiles.

The envoys are basically not high-ranking officials, but this Min Tuoluo is the general protecting the country of Xixia, and his status is equivalent to that of Zhao Pu in the Song Dynasty. The only difference is that the other party is not a relative of the emperor.

Zhan Zhao frowned——the name Min Tuo Luo is no stranger to him. This man must be in his fifties this year, and he was once the number one general in Western Xia. When Zhao Pu was not there, he was the most powerful in the entire border. All the border residents , As soon as he heard the name "Min Tuoluo", he immediately fled.

However, after Zhao Pu was born, Min Tuoluo's life was difficult. He lost three consecutive battles and was beaten to almost annihilate the whole army. The courage of the year, so Min Tuoluo kept holding his breath.

Although they didn't know why he came this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang roughly understood what Zhao Pu and the others were planning.

It is related to the fact that this great general did not do many good things, but he did a lot of bad things. In the previous few battles, many Song generals died at his hands. Although Zhao Pu defeated him several times on the battlefield, but this time People are timid and afraid of death, so they escape quickly, so they are not killed by Zhao Pu's knife.Now that the two countries have negotiated peace and no longer fight, Zhao Pu can't trouble him anymore, so he always feels that he is too cheap.

Earlier, Zhao Zhen sent someone to tell Zhao Pu that the spies had reported that besides sending envoys from Xixia, they also came to Min Tuoluo.It is said that Min Tuoluo just arrived a few days ago, it seems that he heard that Zhao Pu returned to Kaifeng, so he made a special trip here, probably out of good intentions.

Min Tuoluo entered the garden and gave Zhao Zhen a salute. He said it was a salute, but he pursed his lips and clasped his fists with the appearance of pulling two to five to eighty thousand yuan. It didn't look like he was here to salute.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand lightly, and just about to speak, Min Tuoluo ignored him, turned around and bowed to Zhao Pu, "Ninth Prince, don't come here without any problems."

Zhao Putting his chin in his heart, he said, you are really good, you turned your face before the emperor finished speaking, and your neck was discounted in a while.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at this great general, and they were indeed tall and burly, with dark skin and sideburns, wearing a soft armor, and his weapons should have been removed. Apart from saying that he was mighty, he was more arrogant.

Zhao Zhen looked at Min Tuoluo, who didn't take him seriously, but didn't change his face, and picked up the wine glass to drink.

After Min Tuoluo greeted Zhao Pu, he turned around and swaggered to the Xixia officials.

The original envoy had no choice but to give up the front seat for him.

As soon as Min Tuoluo sat down, a maidservant came to pour him wine.

After taking two sips, Min Tuoluo began to look around.

Zhan Zhao saw that this man had a fierce look in his eyes, and he seemed to have some evil intentions, so he was a little curious about his reason for coming.

Sure enough, Min Tuoluo put down the wine glass after three glasses of wine, "Come on, bring me my gift and present it to the Emperor of Song Dynasty."

His voice was like a bell, and when he said something so suddenly, many civil servants were startled by him.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "The envoy of Xixia has already presented the tribute, why are there still?"

"Those were given by them. My gift was given by myself. How can it be the same?" Min Tuoluo laughed, and then glanced at Yao Susu who was sitting next to him, frowning, "A place where men eat and talk about state affairs , why are there still women?"

The eye shot Tang from a distance glanced at him, ignored him, and seemed to have something on his mind, but Yao Susu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he smiled, "I still thought it was someone so grand, so it turned out to be an old general. The prince's defeated general, the former protector of the country, General Min."

The flesh on Min Tuoluo's face was a little stiff——Yao Susu really poked his heart out, saying that he was old and that he was not as good as Zhao Pu, and that he had indeed lost power recently, but he would get it back.

Since Min Tuoluo's gift arrived last, neither Ouyang Shaozheng nor Zou Liang checked it out, so they looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu shook his head, indicating that it doesn't matter.

Eunuch Chen ordered someone to bring up General Min's gift.

When the gift arrived in the yard, it was a large square box wrapped in a black cloth envelope, which was a bit weird.

Zhao Zhen looked at the box, a little puzzled, "General Min, what kind of gift is this?"

"This is an auspicious beast." Min Tuoluo was proud, "It's rare to meet."

Sitting on Gongsun's lap, the fourth son was not interested in the black box, but he had never seen the animal that brought the black box in. It looked like a sheep, but it had a long neck and was milky white and fluffy. It was cute. .

The fourth son opened his eyes wide, and tugged at Gongsun's sleeve, "What is that, Daddy?"

Gongsun said, "It should be an alpaca."

The fourth son raised his face and asked, "Is it a skewer of sheep and camels?"

"Pfft." Zhao Pu laughed when he heard it, and many ministers also laughed.

Zhao Pu leaned over and said to the fourth son, "It's called an alpaca, do you like it? This thing eats grass. It's cute. It can be used for camels. I have it in my army camp. Do you want it? Get you a small one." ?”

The fourth son opened his mouth wide, "Okay!"

Zhan Zhao at the side suddenly stretched out two fingers, indicating——I want two!

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You want to get something to eat?"

Zhan Zhao choked on the drink, looked at Bai Yutang speechlessly, and said to himself - in your eyes, I come back to eat everything I make!

Bai Yutang was puzzled - if you don't eat it, why did you bring an alpaca back?

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin and whispered, "My grandpa's birthday will be in a few days, so I'll give it to him to play with."

The corner of Bai Yutang's mouth twitched lightly, and after a long time, he choked out a sentence, "If I were your grandfather, I would definitely hit you when I saw this birthday gift."

Zhan Zhao is depressed - he likes to blame gifts.

After Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finished making eye contact, when they turned around, they saw Yao Susu on the opposite side, staring at him. That look...how should I describe it?

Zhan Zhao is holding the wine glass - she may have heard the words "Grandpa's birthday will be in a few days" just now, so what does this expression mean?

"Sacred beast, isn't it a living thing?" Zhao Zhen frowned and looked at the box, thinking that he wouldn't send some lion or tiger over here, it would be troublesome to raise it.

"It's not a living thing." Min Tuoluo said, lifted the black curtain, and opened the box inside.

The four panels of the box were opened, and when everyone took a closer look, they saw a red... jade horse.

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly. This jade horse was exquisitely crafted, and the horse was fat and strong. It looked like an antique from the Tang Dynasty. The red jade seemed to be a high-quality blood jade, which should be very valuable.

"Hello." Zhan Zhao gently touched Bai Yutang with his elbow, "Rich man, can you tell if it's real or not?"

Bai Yutang rested his chin and looked at the batch of jade horses that were almost the same size as real horses, and nodded, "Good stuff."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "It looks very expensive."

"You shouldn't be able to buy it even if you have money." Bai Yutang said in a low voice, "It's an ancient relic, probably from some ancient tomb."

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu was also puzzled, what happened to Min Tuoluo?To send such an expensive jade horse?Could it be poisonous?

Min Tuoluo pointed to the jade horse, and said to Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, this jade horse was discovered in an ancient Western castle during my expedition to the west. It is priceless and unique."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, raised his glass and continued to drink.

Gongsun glanced at Zhao Pu and asked in a low voice, "Are you being polite?"

Zhao Pu scratched his head—it was unusual.

At this time, Min Tuoluo suddenly covered his stomach, "Oh..."

Zhao Pu looks at the sky.

Gongsun looked at him—did you give laxatives to people?

Zhao Pu continued to look at the sky.

Min Tuoluo jumped up to find the hut, Zhao Zhen ordered someone to take him there.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Yuma continued to store.

Zhan Zhao stared at the jade horse, rubbed his chin in a daze until the jade horse was pushed out of the yard.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao hissed softly, "I seem to have seen this horse somewhere."

"It's a bit like your horse Duoduo." Bai Yutang laughed, Zhan Zhao's fire unicorn Zao Duoduo is a good BMW horse, but Zhan Zhao fed it too hard, so the horse was a little fat, and looked energetic , The red hair is shiny and shiny.His temperament is quite similar to Zhan Zhao's, he is skinnier than Zhan Zhao's, and he is lively all day long.

"I can't remember." Zhan Zhao frowned, feeling that there was something wrong.

Zhao Zhen winked at Zhao Pu, which meant—forget it, don't hit the smiling person with his hand, the plan is temporarily changed, and we'll talk about it after we see the situation.

So, Zhao Pu waved his hands to Ouyang Shaozheng and Zou Liang who were already prepared, which meant—forget it, let's talk later.

Min Tuoluo was given a lot of laxatives, and Zhao Pu didn't have the antidote. He wanted Gongsun to show him, but Gongsun said——no matter what, he had killed many Song people, and he deserved it.

Zhao Pu nodded in satisfaction - this nerd really suits his appetite.

Zhao Zhen saw that all the ministers were almost finished eating, so he ordered the banquet to be dismissed, and each returned home to rest early.

Everyone stood up, Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao, "I..."

Zhan Zhao didn't wait for him to speak, and asked, "Do you seem to be following them?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "You don't know the way, I'll go with you."

After the two followed Bao Zheng out of the palace, they disappeared in a flash.

On the other side, everyone returned to Kaifeng Mansion.It was too late, and the fourth son was very sleepy, so he fell asleep on Zhao Pu's shoulder.

Gongsun was carrying big and small bags, all of which were specially ordered by the imperial concubine to give him snacks to bring back for the fourth son, "Is the imperial concubine so kind?"

Zhao Pu held the fourth son in his arms, and smiled as he walked, "No, Zhao Zhen is so busy every day, if the harem continues to quarrel, it will really save lives."

"Well?"

After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he saw the fourth son suddenly raised his head, his eyes drooping, blinking and blinking.

"Little Four?" Gongsun pinched his chin and looked at him, "What are you doing?"

"Ah!" The fourth son suddenly opened his mouth wide, and said to Gongsun, "Sister Xing'er seemed to say something just now, but there was no sound."

"What did she say?" Zhao Puxin said that the idiot only remembered now.

The fourth son scratched his cheek, "It seems to say... help."

Gongsun and Zhao Pu looked at each other—help?

The two were wondering when they saw a figure flash...

Zhe Ying and Zi Ying came to Zhao Pu in a flash, Zhao Pu waved his hand lightly, "Guangzhu Yao, what's your business?"

Sure enough, a woman in black came out, it was Yao Susu.

Gongsun wondered why Yao Susu came to block the way.

Yao Susu looked at Zhao Pu and his group, and asked in a low voice, "Is Master Zhan there?"

Zhao Pu looked at her, "Are you looking for Zhan Zhao?"

Yao Susu thought for a while, "Since he's not here, I'll visit tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she turned and left, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Zhao Pu, "Ninth Prince, don't you want to stay in the palace?"

Zhao Pu was slightly taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Yao Susu smiled lightly, "I'm a woman with little knowledge, but Min Tuoluo and Mu Zhaotang have bad intentions, which can be seen."

After finishing speaking, without saying much, he turned and left.

Zhao Pu thought for a while, then reached out and handed the fourth son to Gongsun.

Gongsun nodded, and Zhao Pu took Ouyang Shaozheng and Zou Liang back to the palace——Mu Zhaotang and Min Tuoluo, one gave a pot of drunken flowers, and the other gave a blood jade horse. Could it be that there is some mystery in it? ?

……

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed Tang and them secretly, walked through the main street of Kaifeng Mansion, and walked to the suburbs.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, looking at Bai Yutang—this photo is not going back to the Jintingguan Station, why go to the suburbs?

Bai Yutang slightly raised his chin, signaling Zhan Zhao to look forward.

Zhan Zhao looked up - he saw the orchard in the eastern suburbs in front of him.

The two looked at each other—Peach Blossom Forest? !
