Chapter 002 Chaos
In the state calendar of 2020, on June 1, the entire Tang Dynasty launched a national carnival for Children’s Day under the false prosperity.
In order to celebrate this festival, the Southern Song Dynasty ruled by Penglai Pavilion traveled thousands of miles to send a holiday gift to the Tang Dynasty monarch, a wooden pug carefully carved by Nanluan craftsmen.
After a pug is given, the meaning of humiliation does not need to be stated explicitly. You can understand the meaning by just thinking about it with your toes.
For this reason, all the civil servants in the Tang Dynasty gritted their teeth, and even more proud civil servants committed suicide to express their determination and vowed not to be humiliated.
On the contrary, all the generals in the court were arrogant, their faces full of excitement, and their mouths full of praise.
This is not because the military commanders of the Tang Dynasty are cowardly, but since the [Battle of Xianwu] eighteen years ago, the Zitang Kingdom, which was renamed the Tang Dynasty, became a colony. Among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, only civil servants were the only ones, and all the military commanders were Penglai Pavilion disciples.
The king of the current dynasty, that is, the uncle of the previous dynasty, was originally a coward who was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Now that he has become a puppet king, he dares not do anything.
On the contrary, in front of the Penglai Pavilion envoy, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty stepped on the wooden pug under his feet, rubbed and crushed it, and trampled it into pieces.
The civil servants all over the court secretly boasted that they were happy, and the generals glared angrily, instantly turning the entire court into a state of fire and water, making it difficult to resolve their hatred without fighting each other.
In the end, it was the monarch's father who eased this embarrassing and crisis situation in a harmonious way.
"Come here!" Prince Xi Hongshi raised his fingers at the envoy from Penglai Pavilion.
"Your Highness, please respect yourself. If you were not still young, I would not forgive you for the crime of disrespect..."
Snapped!
Before the messenger, who was over fifty years old, had finished speaking, he felt a burning pain coming from the left side of his big face.
"I'm not young anymore!" Xi Hongshi looked at the confused messenger with a half-smile but said.
"How dare you hit me! I am the envoy of the Penglai Pavilion of the Song Dynasty!"
"Who cares about you! You bite me!" Xi Hongshi just stared at him.
"You...you!" The messenger puffed his beard and glared, but did not dare to take a step forward, because he knew clearly that the entire court was full of cowards, except for this prince, who was ranked among the best in Penglai Immortal Ranking.
The top three in the list, and although he is a disciple of Penglai Pavilion, he is only in the silver list, not in the same rank, so he does not dare to humiliate himself.
The old envoy received a big slap, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he held it in for a long time before saying: "The noble prince, who speaks like an old lady, how unbecoming he is!"
"I'm willing! What a shame!" Xi Hongshi gave him another kick in confusion and strode out of the court.
"Old man Cao, you don't care about your son!" The old messenger got up and shouted angrily at the monarch who was sitting in the main hall. It doesn't matter that he was beaten, but the face of Penglai Pavilion cannot be lost!
"Dear envoy, please forgive me for my incompetence in discipline. How about you teach my unfilial son a lesson for me?" King Cao Zhengchun looked at the envoy with a very sincere attitude, "Perhaps there is any general in the court who can discipline my son for me?"
Prince?"
All the generals in the court lowered their heads, picked their ears, picked their noses, or tied their shoelaces.
Since Penglai Pavilion, a border tribe sect in the southern mountains, understood the method of cultivating immortals, the warriors who once dominated the four states have become weaklings. They first unified the four states and nine countries eighteen years ago, and then promulgated the Penglai Immortal List.
The five-subject list of gold, silver, copper, iron, and earth is used to position and rank the strength of immortal cultivators.
And the current crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Xi Hongshi, is Xi Hongshi who ranks among the top three in the Penglai Immortal List. He is a strong SSR-level man. Who dares to provoke him!
"Your Majesty!" At this time, a soldier ran up to the court, "His Royal Highness the Prince intercepted the messenger's horse and rushed out of the palace."
"How unruly, how unbecoming. Not only did you slap the envoy on the face, kick the crotch of the envoy, but you also snatched the envoy's horse!" A civil servant stood up and said indignantly, "I beg your Majesty to send the general in charge to arrest him.
, and then 'slap the messenger in the face, kick the messenger in the crotch, and grab the messenger's horse' and be punished for the three crimes..."
"Shut up!" The messenger's face turned green.
"Ai Qing is right!" King Cao Zhengchun waved his hand to signal the envoy not to be angry, and then shouted, "Where is Baike Tan, the general in charge in front of the palace!"
"Your Majesty, I am the general with the sword in front of the palace..." Bai Ketan also looked very ugly and took a step forward to correct him.
"Same, same! Now I give you the life of a thousand miles away. You will arrest the bastard prince and punish the three crimes at the same time..." The monarch Cao Zhengchun looked at the civil servant again and asked, "By the way, Ai Qing, which three crimes are they?
?”
"Report to Your Majesty, slap the envoy in the face, kick the envoy in the crotch, and snatch the envoy's horse!" All the civil servants shouted loudly, and the sound shook the court and spread into the sky...
Poof!
The Penglai Pavilion envoy from the Southern Tang Dynasty vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
"Quickly send the imperial physician!" Cao Zhengchun said anxiously, "Then...retreat from the court!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, with a slight smile on his lips. From the look of his mouth, he seemed to have said two words, "You deserve it."
Outside the main hall, after seeing the Thousand Mile Horse given by His Majesty, General Bai Ketan couldn't help but extend his middle finger towards the court: "Is this a Thousand Mile Horse? It's obviously a little wild donkey!"
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The little wild donkey, less than one meter tall, made a sound of resistance after being looked down upon.
Tang Dynasty Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, news came today that Liuyun Mountain has collapsed."
"Really!" Cao Zhengchun stood up from his seat quietly, "When did it happen!"
"Yesterday."
"Is this a sign of something!" Cao Zhengchun squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought. In fact, he did not want to be a king, but after the death of King Xi Liuyun eighteen years ago, the Penglai Army came to control the Tang Kingdom better.
He was just chosen as a relative of the emperor with no talent or virtue.
From the surname of his own descendant, the current prince, changed to 'xi', we can know that although Cao Zhengchun has no virtue in writing and no martial arts, he is as wise as a fool. He has always been looking forward to overthrowing colonial rule and unlocking the current deformed world.
Puppet regime.
"Which direction did the prince go?" Cao Zhengchun asked again.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it should be in the direction of the Liuyun Mountain boundary."
"That's enough, I guess even Bai Ketan can't catch up." Cao Zhengchun showed a smile that seemed to be successful.
"Of course not. The messenger's horse is really a good horse that can travel thousands of miles, and His Majesty gave it to General Bai..."
"That's also a good donkey!" Cao Zhengchun glared at his personal attendant.
"Your Majesty, you should be a good horse."
"You are right! If Baike Tan returns without success, I will definitely punish him. Even such a good horse cannot catch up. How can he still have the dignity to serve as my general?"
"Your Majesty, you are carrying a knife..."
"Shut up!" Cao Zhengchun looked like an angry king again.
As the sun approaches the western area, the color becomes darker and darker.
Xinshou Village in Bianbia Town, which is located on the border of Chuiyun Mountain, is still bustling with activity. Prince Xi Hongshi, who has stepped off a thousand-mile horse, has been running around for a whole day and is very hungry. He heard the laughter and laughter coming from the entrance of the village and headed towards
Walking around the village...
Tonight, the whole village is celebrating. The richest man in the village is getting married to his daughter-in-law. They have a big banquet and treat the whole village to feasting and drinking for five days.
The prince, who had forgotten to bring his luggage when he left, shamelessly indulged in a wedding banquet.
"It's time to give out red envelopes. Aunt Liu is always kind to us. Let's not just eat. We can't forget the good news!" A strong man came over and shouted to the table where Xi Hongshi was sitting.
Xihong didn't lift the stone and continued to devour it. As a prince, when had he ever been hungry?
The strong man glanced at Xi Hongshi, frowned, and shouted to Xi Hongshi: "That little brother who is bitching about a girl, don't just eat, there are red envelopes!"
"What red envelope?" Xi Hongshi didn't hear what he said at all.
"Hey, you idiot, are you pretending to be stupid? Who are you? You look so angry!" The big man looked at him carefully and asked.
"Just passing by, you continue to be busy, I'll leave first." Xi Hongshi stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute!" The big man grabbed Xi Hongshi.
"Let go!" Xi Hongshi glared angrily and shook off the big man's hand.
The big man didn't expect that the boy looked weak and weak, but he was quite strong. He threw him and staggered, almost falling, but luckily he grabbed Xi Hongshi again in time...
This tug was so extreme that Xi Hong's clothes on the stone were torn apart, and his long black hair instantly slanted down like a waterfall. The pink bellyband was also faintly revealed above the torn clothes...
"I'm tired! It's a little girl! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The big man quickly let go and took two steps back.
"Tricky people!" Xi Hongshi quickly adjusted his clothes and disappeared in a flash.
"Have a nice meal and a drink, everyone!" Liu Ruohan came to greet him with a cheerful smile.
"Aunt Liu!" The big man finally regained his composure and hurriedly came up to congratulate her, "Congratulations, but you haven't announced yet which sister from our village is so lucky to be chosen as your daughter-in-law?
"
"Not as good as that, not as good as that. Eat and drink more when you are strong!" Liu Ruohan responded with a smile. She was a little embarrassed now. After all, she had promised Quncun to choose a daughter-in-law within the village, but suddenly a girl came and recommended herself.
No matter how you look at her, she likes her. Compared with the girls in the village, she is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a temperament that is definitely first class.
As a mother, she will definitely choose girls who are excellent in all aspects, and she also has a mission in her heart, which is to maintain a good inheritance for the descendants of the Xi family royal family.
"Mother-in-law!" Suddenly a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ruohan.
"Oh, why did you come out!" Liu Ruohan hurriedly pulled her aside. Now was not the time to announce her daughter-in-law. She had to think of a perfect plan to avoid being misunderstood by her father and fellow villagers...
"That bastard Xi Zitang ran away!"
"What? Run away... run away?" Liu Ruohan was stunned for a moment...
