Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 331. 330. Li Shouchu, Come With Gifts
That's not a dragon.

From the first moment Li Zhen saw it, he understood it.

The meaning of the dragon to the Chinese nation is not just a symbol, or a strange thing spliced ​​out of a corner cut from the totems of various tribes.

It is a symbol.

A symbol that represents the connection between man and heaven and the backbone of the nation.

He doesn't know what other people think.But at least for Li Laodao himself, the dragon is the collection and representative of all things in the world, good or bad.

It is a kind of persistence in the heart.

Always be proud of your own blood, proud of your nation, and proud of your descendants.

The so-called reading a hundred times is self-evident.

In Li Zhen's mind, a "creature" like a dragon should not exist in this world.

On the surface, it is a specific image of the firstborn with two feet, claws and five fingers, a slender body, and a majestic posture.But internally, the dragon should be the representative of people's reverence for this world, ancestors, and sages.

It should be authoritative.

It is so authoritative that even if it already has a specific image, it still cannot have any disrespectful thoughts about it.

Because the respect for it is equivalent to the respect for everything in your heart.

Respect the heaven and the earth, the ancestors, and this hot land.

It shouldn't be there.

But when it appeared, it was not a real dragon.

Not to be trapped by any manpower.

The trapped one should not be a real dragon.

Just like Brother Feng's appearance of flying golden dragons all over the sky at every turn, but Li Laodao only regards the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms as a move, not a truth of inner admiration.

And at this moment, the creature that was frozen in the icicle, like a dragon and a golden dragon, soared into the sky.

To him, it was just a simple long worm.

Even monsters in this world can take form.

It is not uncommon for a snake to play COSPLAY.

Therefore, although he clearly heard a series of rainbow farts from Mr. Huqiu, and the scene where all the people around him knelt on both sides of the bank, the Taoist who was riding on the horse and hugged the red tassel had no respect in his heart.

Well, it's really not a dragon.

Just worms.

And at this moment, the place where the 11 people of Pegasus City are riding is next to the carriages of the Mo family.

There was no one guarding the carriage, as if the Mohists were not afraid that someone would steal the things on it while they were away.

After Li Zhen withdrew his gaze, feeling the slightly trembling woman in his arms, he asked and pulled her back from the shock brought by the icicle.

"Can you still move?"

"..."

A layer of white calluses had already appeared on the lips, and the pale-faced woman did not turn her head when she regained her senses.

Even after the earlobe was wiped by the Taoist's breath, he couldn't even blush.

She just grabbed the saddle and tried hard to get off the horse.

However, the weapon of the person who murdered them was smeared with a poison specially prepared by the doctor to block the qi of others and make them lose their fighting power.

Now they are no different from ordinary people.

Suffering such a serious injury, plus running all the way, it is already a big fortune to survive.

Only after Li Zhen got off her horse did Hongying realize...if the other party hadn't been holding her just now.She may... not even have the strength to ride a horse.

Not to mention dismounting.

But even so, so what?
"Pfft..."

Just when Li Zhen supported the woman, two people from Pegasus City who were seriously injured fell on a dim golden light.

It's okay, I didn't drop Shicheng.

Li Zhen was supported.

Otherwise, you will really vomit blood.

This mouthful of blood is just one breath.

If you spit it out, the breath will dissipate.

Light ranges from a coma, and severe ranges from facing life and death.

Above the sky, the icicle was pulled by an inexplicable force, slowly shrinking, and finally disappeared.

The Immortal Xuanbing is His Majesty, and for the Sui Dynasty, at this eve of the year, he will pay tribute with a dragon to celebrate this year's victory for His Majesty.

Seeing such auspicious things is shocking enough for ordinary people.

Shouts of exclamation and cheers resounded on both sides of the river one after another.

At this time, above the sky, two rays of peaceful light came out from Longmen Mountain and landed on the giant boat.

"This flood dragon lives on the dragon's veins, and contains a trace of the dragon's blood. It suppresses the country. It is bound to be auspicious in the coming year. It is an auspicious beast. I congratulate Jiangshan and Your Majesty!"

The national teacher is also here.

Together with Xuan Suning, after Yu Wenwenji took the dragon back into the bamboo basket, he came in golden light and held his hand in praise.

"National Division."

Kind words again.

"Immortal."

Young people salute.

"Daoist Su Ning."

Kun Dao bowed:

"Immortal."

So far, the first in the world, the second in the world, and the fourth in the world gathered in the dragon boat.

Yang Guang's laughter echoed in everyone's hearts through the dragon boat.

Give a seat.

The Xiao family, who is the mother of the world, also came out with her.

The prince and grandson serve the wine in person.

Have a feast.

No one thought about the arrival of Yu Wenhuaji just now, making the members of the three families seem to have walked through a frozen purgatory.

Nobody cares either.

The moment the immortal returns, it represents the surrender of the heroes of the world.

Isn't it right to be suppressed by the aura of immortals?
Many people's gazes fell on No. [-] Under Heaven, who was dressed in wind-dust clothes and sitting beside the emperor, with mixed emotions of admiration and awe.

But at this time, Yu Wenhuaji, who offered a bottle of wine to Yang Guang, made a slight nod for some reason.

He himself was one of the focus points of the audience, and this nodding action at this moment naturally attracted the attention of many people.

But no one knows what it means.

He smiled gently and said:
"Your Majesty, I heard that many people from pre-Qin families have come to the capital recently. They express their opinions and speak widely. And at today's banquet, these few guests who are a little unfamiliar to me have indeed appeared. My heart I'm a little curious. I don't know who you are? Could you let me get to know you?"

The words are polite, not arrogant.

It even has the meaning of being a corporal.

After hearing this, one person stood up immediately.

After saluting to Yang Guang, his attitude was respectful but not flattering, and his words were gentle and calm:
"Famous family, Gongsun didn't say a word. He brought a group of 18 people from the same school and met immortals."

Yu Wenhua nodded gently:
"So that's the case. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Gongsun's queen. Disrespect, disrespect."

Famous masters competed for the first place, so naturally some people were not weaker than the previous ones.

"Onmyo Family, Law Department, Ji Zhengtang. I've seen human beings."

One took off the bird crown, revealing the old man with gray temples stood up and cupped his hands.

The gentle smile on Yu Wenhua's face remained undiminished, but there was something inexplicable in his words:

"The Yin-Yang family's mantras, methods, spells, decisions, and laws. I heard that the Department of Law had some conflicts with the Baiqisi a few days ago? I wonder if it is possible to turn jade into silk by fighting?"

Ji Zhengtang's expression remained unchanged, he bowed and said:

"The child is reckless, and there is no way to teach the child. I have been graciously pardoned by His Majesty. I am grateful to Wu, and I will remember it in my heart."

Hearing this, Yang Guang didn't intend to speak.

And Yu Wenhuaji just said "um", and then turned his gentle eyes on the people at the last few tables.

The group of people in black was led by a pair of twin brothers who seemed to be around forty years old.

When Yu Wenhuaji's gaze came to him, he stood up and cupped his hands at the same time:

"Mohists, the institutions are strict."

"Organization."

After the strange address was uttered from the mouths of the two brothers, it turned into a uniform voice:
"I've seen immortals."

Ke Yu Wenhuaji seemed to have heard the names of these two people before, so he nodded:

"It turned out to be the command of the Yin Yang Mechanism. Disrespect, disrespect. Please sit down, both of you."

After saying a polite word, he suddenly looked around, his eyes fell on Xuanzang, who was solemn and majestic.

"Your Majesty, why don't you see the Pegasus City that paid tribute to the dragon and fire today? Speaking of which, when I fought with Your Majesty, the scarlet flame horse that traveled thousands of miles a day was also a gift from Sun Junce, the lord of Pegasus City. It's just a pity After the one meeting back then, there was no chance to see each other again. I feel very regretful. This year they both celebrated His Majesty's victory. Although Sun Junce lost the battle with Zhu Huai, in the final analysis, I still owe Pegasus City a favor. They were in the Luoyang? If they are here, I just want to ask, what kind of help do they need from me? I dare not forget the kindness of the horse back then. It should be paid back. "

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately heard that there was something in Yu Wenhuaji's words.

Especially the members of the three families, all of them had fleeting expressions on their faces.

Xuan Suning, who was sitting on the side, looked at Mr. Huqiu, who was just holding a cup and seemed to be hiding something since he arrived just now.

Then he closed his eyes again.

And Yang Guang didn't seem surprised that he asked such a question.

There is also a little reminiscence on the face:

"Pegasus City...Huazhi, if you don't remind me, I really forgot. I want to ride that Chiyan horse, but that horse is too fierce, and no one will recognize it except you. I went to feed it a few times. It, it even wanted to bite me, and I felt that this horse was a little too raw."

In the silence, the ministers quietly listened to the emperor, who was caught in memory, telling the past.

However, no one thought what Yang Guang said was true.

Or… half-truths.

These words still need to be heard separately.

I still have to guess... Is His Majesty talking about the red flame?
Still talking about... something else.

Sure enough, Yang Guang changed the subject:
"But in the battle of the Yangtze River, I watched it lead you all the way to kill, with wounds all over your body, but still sent you back safely. Although you died of exhaustion in the end...but it was really...sad. .Hey... Li Qing."

With a long sigh, he suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Huqiu, and seeing Mr. Huqiu was about to get up, he pressed his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and then picked up the cup.

"The people from Pegasus City haven't arrived yet, so you can drink this wine instead. They are late, so please give me a break first, and then wait for the people to come, let them have a good time with them You apologize for three cups, hahaha~"

With hearty laughter, Lord Huqiu wanted to get up again.

But Yang Guang didn't let him get up, and Yu Wenhua and naturally wouldn't let him get up either.

After waving his hands, Number One Under Heaven picked up the wine glass on his own:
"Li Shilang, this glass of wine is for you to drink for Pegasus City. You can pay tribute to your Majesty, and I owe you a favor. After a while, you have to drink three glasses with me."

Mr. Fox Fur held the cup, covered his face with a bamboo hat, and spoke softly:

"Immortals please drink."

"Haha, please."

Yu Wenhua raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

After seeing him drink, Master Huqiu waited for a while to show respect, and was about to toast to drink...

suddenly!

A clear voice pierced the sky in midair:
"At the end of the day, Li Shouchu came here with gifts, congratulations for Jiangshan, and congratulations for His Majesty!"

"Gah!"

The golden bottle can be squeezed and transformed in an instant.

"..."

As the sound fell, Mr. Fox Fur, who had accidentally pinched the golden bottle in his hand into twists, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
