【V148】Nine brothers know the truth, three little gentlemen

Everyone never expected such a dramatic scene. When General Weiyuan of Nanzhao spoke of disdain to provoke Xiao Zhenting, everyone thought that this poor foreign envoy was about to be slapped in the face by Marshal Xiao, but who would have thought that before the bow was pulled open, Xiao Zhenting was slapped in public?

The guests whispered.

"Then...is that really Marshal Xiao's armor? Could it be wrong?"

"How could it be? Every time Marshal Xiao goes out, I will watch him along the street. I don't know how many times he has worn that armor. I will never admit it wrong!" The first guest who exclaimed just now said, pointing to his subordinate, "Did you see the dent on his right shoulder? That was the one who was stabbed by the enemy when Marshal Xiao goes out for the first time, and also his right lower abdomen..."

As he knew it, he pointed out the origin of every "scar" on his armor. He said it had a nose and eyes, but everyone still couldn't believe it.

"Will it be a counterfeit?" said a guest.

"Who can imitate this?"

I'm afraid only Xiao Zhenting can answer this doubt. He will never admit his own armor.

Everyone looked at Xiao Zhenting, wanting to see from his face that it was a fake expression, but disappointed them. Xiao Zhenting's eyes were so cold that they could kill people. This was unlikely to be fake...

But this is very strange, isn’t it? How could Marshal Xiao’s armor appear on the envoys of Nanzhao?

"Oh! Why do you all have these expressions? Is there anything wrong with my subordinate?" General Wei Yuan asked innocently.

How dare everyone answer?

Yu Wan looked at Xiao Zhenting not far away, and then Yan Jiuchao beside her. She knew that this matter was a big deal. Although she didn't know how Xiao Zhenting's armor fell into the hands of the other party, it was obviously not Xiao Zhenting's original intention, and he himself didn't know it, Yan Jiuchao even more so. As for General Weiyuan... Yu Wan felt that he was pretending to be stupid. He deliberately motivated Xiao Zhenting to show off with him, but the purpose was to use armor to humiliate Xiao Zhenting.

I don’t know why he did this, was he having a grudge against Xiao Zhenting, or was he slapped the entire Zhou Dynasty in the face?

"Your Highness Cheng, why do you always stare at my subordinates?" General Weiyuan saw that everyone refused to answer, and pointed his finger at Your Highness Cheng.

King Cheng broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself that today is really over. One after another, one after another, will it make people get married?

It was Xiao Zhenting who spoke heavily: "Where did the armor on his body come from?"

General Weiyuan said with an oh, "You said this, I bought it from a merchant in your Great Zhou. Humph, the vendor is so good that I bought it on the verge of greatness. I bought it on the verge of impulse, but found that it was such a rags, so I rewarded it to my subordinates!"

The iron armor of the god of war turned into his mouth and turned into a "ragged thing"... 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 entire Zhou Dynasty!

Everyone felt like they were going to be pissed to death.

If you say that he did it on purpose, there is no evidence; if you say that he was unintentional, it is really fucking to kill him!

The second prince of the Huns was an outsider, but he even noticed something was wrong. The people of Nanzhao were too arrogant. How could they embarrass Marshal Xiao so blatantly?

Xiao Zhenting's face became colder and colder, and General Weiyuan Helianqi acted as if he would not give in without knowing it. Just when both sides were almost at a strife, the head of the royal palace came to urge people.

"Prince! The wine and food are ready, it's time to attend the seat!" said the eunuch in charge.

King Cheng sighed and said loudly: "It will be bad if the food is cold. Marshal Xiao and General Weiyuan will have a fight again next day!"

Today is the happy day for King Cheng. When he spoke, everyone still had to listen. The crowd slowly dispersed to the sides. Xiao Zhenting stood there with his eyes as if he was torched, staring at General Weiyuan, Helianqi of Nanzhao.

Helianqi smiled cheerfully: "Ah, I'm going to have a meal. I happened to be hungry too. If Marshal Xiao doesn't mind, we'll make an appointment another day."

After saying that, he threw the bow he had just picked up and back to his subordinates' hands, and then he left.

The moment he walked out of the grassland, Yu Wan clearly saw a smug smile on the corner of his lips.

He really did it on purpose!

Everyone entered the table, Yu Wan returned to Chong'an Hall. The incident on the grassland had not yet reached this place. The women were talking about the big show just now and the princess of King Cheng, but after tonight, they would get news from their husbands and sons that Xiao Zhenting had the envoys of Nanzhao severely humiliated him.

The news spread faster than expected. Half the banquet passed, the palace sent someone to bring 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, 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 on the seat.

The emperor waved his hand: "I'll be spared from the vain. What happened to the royal palace today? Is that armor really yours?"

Xiao Zhenting was not surprised that news came into the emperor's ears so quickly. The emperor had many eyes and ears, and even if he didn't go to the scene, someone would stare at his every move there.

"Yes, it's my dear." Xiao Zhenting said truthfully.

Even though he guessed it, he still surprised the emperor with his own admission: "Why did your armor run to the Nanzhao people?"

It wasn't that Xiao Zhenting let the reckless man humiliate him so hard that the emperor almost doubted whether Xiao Zhenting had done something shameful with the people of Nanzhao behind his back, and even offered his armor to please the other party!

Xiao Zhenting didn't say anything.

The emperor was so angry that he came: "What? Are you still mute? I ask you! What's going on with your armor? Do you really sell it?!"

Helianqi personally announced that it was bought by a merchant from a Zhou Dynasty. It would be clear whether Helianqi and the merchant were true or false. This matter could not be hidden from the emperor. Xiao Zhenting did not stubbornly: "Yes, Weichen sold the armor."

"You!" the emperor choked, "Can that armor be sold too?!"

The emperor didn't know whether he should be surprised that he really sold it, or that he admitted so readily.

I don't know how many people coveted his armor back then, but he didn't let any of them go. The Duke of Wei bought his armor for a sky-high price of 100,000 gold, but he refused mercilessly. His nephew Xiao Yan always wanted to get his armor, but he didn't see him give it to him-

The emperor took a deep breath: "How much did it sell?"

Xiao Zhenting said: "Fifty thousand taels of gold."

Still selling at a low price!!!

The emperor was so angry that he was about to explode: "Ten years ago, Duke Wei promised you that you would never be moved by 100,000 gold. Why did you bow down for just 50,000 taels? Xiao Zhenting, you are so angry that you are so angry! You said! Tell me! Why did you sell it?!"

"It's for the young master."

In the young master's mansion, General Ying Liu reported the news that he had found from Shangguan Yan's mouth to Yan Jiuchao truthfully.

"The Gu Master offered 100,000 gold. Marshal Xiao couldn't take it out, so he had to sell the armor. The rich businessman knew that he had an urgent need and deliberately suppressed his price."

Duke Wei also liked Xiao Zhenting's armor, and he offered 100,000 yuan, which is well known to everyone.

Xiao Zhenting may be a good player on the battlefield, so bargaining is not his strength, it is not that he lost 50,000 taels at that time, and he said nothing should be lower than this price. The rich businessman was afraid that he would have to push down.

"Fool!" Yan Jiuchao clenched his fists.

"Will the wealthy businessman collude with the envoys of Nanzhao?" Ying Shisan asked, if there was, it would be a trap.

Ying Liu shook his head: "No, Helianqi did encounter the rich businessman showing off his armor in a restaurant. He didn't believe the wine bag and bought the real armor. Helianqi believed it, so he spent a lot of money to buy the armor."

Ying Shisan frowned: "He picked up a ready-made bargain!"

Ying Liu said again: "Master Xiao asked His Majesty to enter the palace. I think His Majesty also heard about this, and he was furious."

The emperor did not care about a set of armor. The armor belonged to Xiao Zhenting. What he did was nothing to do with the emperor, but if someone used the armor to slap the Great Zhou Dynasty in the face, the emperor would not be able to sit idly by.

Ying Liu sighed: "Your Majesty is afraid that you will take your anger from Marshal Xiao."

Under the shadow of the lamp, Yan Jiuchao's eyes were a little scary.

The next day, a shocking news spread in the capital - Marshal Xiao, who was mighty and powerful, could not be misled, and wealthy and noble, actually sold the armor to the people of Nanzhao for tens of thousands of taels of gold. The rumors have always been more exciting than the truth. The role played by the wealthy businessmen disappeared invisibly in the rumors. The whole thing became a transaction between Xiao Zhenting and the people of Nanzhao. Thinking about the Duke of Wei who offered 100,000 taels, he was unmoved. The people of Nanzhao only gave only 50,000 taels, so he gave up the armor. Such a flattering act of fascinating foreigners was really disappointing!

There was a lot of curses among the people, and the court was full of quarrels.

It seems that everyone has forgotten how this man was born and died and saved the people from time to time. This is just a matter of no one’s body, which makes him easily fall from the altar.

Yu Wan guessed that something big happened, Yan Jiuchao would not feel happy, so she left three little guys in the room last night. When she woke up, Yan Jiuchao had already left. Ying Liu of the armor incident reported to Yan Jiuchao truthfully, and did not hide it from her. She knew that it was Xiao Zhenting who was reluctant to give up his love to raise money to treat Yan Jiuchao. However, no one expected that the accident would be cut off from Nanzhao envoys. Yan Jiuchao seemed heartless, but who promised that he would feel better than her after hearing the truth?

"Do you know if you have to be more obedient these days?" Yu Wan pinched the chubby faces of the three little guys.

The three of them looked at their mother in a confused look.

Yu Wan put on their clothes and asked Taoer and Lier to take them down to wash.

The goat milk soup stewed in the kitchen was cold, and the three little guys turned their heads and saliva flowed.

The goat milk soup is a new trick that the chef wants. Take fresh goat milk and boil it. After cooling, remove the solidified milk skin on it, then add the cooked japonica rice, a little snow salt, and air-dried mutton granules to make a pot of thick porridge. When you get the pot, cut the dried milk skin into strips and sprinkle it in. The porridge tastes rich and mellow and the milky aroma is everywhere.

Yu Wan couldn't eat this taste, but a few little guys who were not happy with milk were very fond of it. The fat little fat guys grabbed the spoon with their hands and opened their mouths, looking so stupid that they were bubbled.

Yu Wan smiled and ate half a bowl of rice porridge. She was about to take down the bowls and chopsticks when she heard the servant report that Bai Tang was coming.

Bai Tang hadn't come for a while, and Yu Wan was a little worried about her and hurriedly asked someone to invite her to Qingfengyuan.

When she entered the house, the three little guys were still fighting hard for the goat milk soup. The three of them had a full circle of weight than Yu Wan before their wedding. Their faces were chubby and their little fat was trembling, which made Bai Tang stunned.

"Ah? Why are you a little fat boy?" Bai Tang poked out his hand in amazement and rubbed his three of them hard on their little fat faces. "Well, the touch feels so good."

The three of them obediently asked to pinch their faces. Not only did they not get angry, but they also nodded and greeted them in a gentleman manner. They handed over their right face, as if asking Bai Tang if he wanted to pinch it.

"Ouch!" Bai Tang's heart turned cute. How could there be such a cute child? I really want to carry it back and it's so swollen...

Bai Tang suffered a lot of addiction.

The three little guys finished eating the goat milk soup, took the water handed over by Tao'er and rinsed their teeth, jumped to the ground, and looked at Yu Wan cutely.

Yu Wan gently rubbed their little heads and smiled and said, "Go and have fun."

The three of them bowed very politely and reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Tang and Yu Wan. They walked out of the house in an orderly manner like three polite little gentlemen.

Bai Tang was so fond of crying.

Such a well-behaved child, she wants it! Want it! Want it!

But after leaving Qingfengyuan and confirming that his mother could not see it, the three little gentlemen immediately turned into little demons and left the tiles on the ground with fierce tiles! 16
