chewing dragon

Chapter 90
Lu Qiyun bowed his body and cupped his hands indifferently, and his tone was full of apology: "The poor are not good at learning, they can let go but can't take it back, and under the shock, they missed the measure and hurt His Highness's servant, please forgive me! "

"It's a good sharpening to try with the whiskers and the front!"

Donkey Head Prince took a deep look at the young Taoist priest, and then turned to the long-bearded servant who had lost his soul on the ground, and comforted him with gentle words: "Xia Daban, you should go to the imperial physician immediately, and you should be able to connect the severed finger back. As for me ... I have made up my mind, there is no need for my companion to persuade me any more!"

Hearing the name "Xia Daban", the servant with long beard suddenly stopped shaking miraculously.

He slowly gathered the severed fingers on the ground together, held them firmly in his hands, and then stood up bloodied, with a miserable smile on his face: "Since His Highness insists on doing this, what else can I say? Why, there is always an old slave by His Highness's side!"

After finishing speaking, the long-bearded servant turned around in a slumped manner, and went out unsteadily.

Withdrawing his gaze from Xia Daban, the donkey-headed prince no longer looked around, and sat upright on the square stool, without any fluctuation in his tone: "Thank you Lu Qing, just peel off the donkey skin, don't hurt my face."

Hearing this, Lu Qiyun couldn't help frowning: "Your Highness means..."

"I can feel that under this donkey's skin that came from nowhere, my original face is still there. The original dragon's horns are located at the base of the donkey's ears. Lu Qing can tell by touching it!"

The young Taoist priest's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand without hesitation, and pinched the crown prince's ear.Sure enough, through the skin, I felt the horn-like hard object inside.

He was determined in his heart, and felt that wealth and a future were in his pocket, but he did not lose his due caution, and immediately said: "It still needs to be verified with a knife. If it is true as His Highness said, I am [-]% sure that this piece of paper will be removed." Donkey skin. After all, no matter how thin the skin is, it is not as thin as the blade of a poor man, but His Highness has to be wronged to bear the pain for a while."

"Lu Qing just verify it! I don't care about a little pain!" The donkey-headed son immediately responded, excitement and anticipation flashed in a pair of donkey eyes.

"Then please forgive me for being rude!"

Lu Qiyun quickly walked around behind the donkey-headed prince, stared at the edge of the other's back neck, and saw that the donkey skin and human skin were seamlessly stitched together, as if they were born like this.

He stretched out his hand to caress it carefully, only to feel that the place where it started was smooth and flat, and he couldn't feel anything strange.

Lu Qiyun's expression remained unchanged, he raised his right arm quickly, and swung the blade in his hand from top to bottom, already drawing a knife mark on the back of the opponent's neck.

The knife marks are light, almost non-existent.

The donkey-headed son didn't move, as if he was just bitten by a mosquito, his lips moved and he said softly: "Lu Qing's knife is really sharp."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment!"

After two sentences, the knife marks on the back of Donkey Head Shizi's neck finally began to turn red, but there was still no trace of blood oozing out.

Lu Qiyun roughly estimated the depth, and cut again without hesitation.

Another knife mark appeared on the donkey skin at the back of the Shizi's neck, parallel to the previous one, with only a three-point distance between them, and the length was about the same, but the latter one was a little shallower.

If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, it would be hard for anyone to believe that such a fine knife craftsmanship would appear in the hands of a teenage boy.

Lu Qiyun checked the depth of the second cut silently, without blinking his eyes, raised his hand to make another cut, but this time he cut horizontally, right at the junction of donkey skin and human skin, Neither long nor short, it coincides with the previous two vertical knife marks.

Immediately afterwards, the young Taoist priest turned the blade with his fingertips without hesitation, lightly picked at the intersection of the last two knife marks, and raised a small corner of the donkey skin there.

This time, a drop of blood immediately appeared at the place where the knife fell.

Obviously, the knife went too deep.

The young Taoist paused, but his tone was indifferent, and he couldn't tell whether it was congratulations or an apology: "The donkey skin covered on your highness's head is indeed not real, it seems that it can be peeled off, but it is more skinny than Pindao expected. It's a lot thinner."

"It's okay!"

The donkey-headed son seemed to want to turn his neck, but he held back, cherishing the words like gold: "Continue!"

Lu Qiyun didn't respond, but his eyes became more focused.

He gently pressed the lifted skin with his left index finger, and slowly moved the blade of his right hand inward along the opening.

Through the so-called donkey skin as thin as cicada's wings, Lu Qiyun's left index finger could clearly feel the cold touch of the blade when it passed by, and he kept having the illusion that his fingers had been cut.

After a while, he gently peeled off the small piece of donkey skin soaked in blood, revealing the white skin with golden texture underneath.

Everyone in the Great Zhou Kingdom knows that the current ruler of the country has a bloodline of red gold, with red horns on his head and golden scales on his body.It is said that after the army was raised that year, all the heroes in the world bowed their heads and obeyed their orders awe-inspiringly when they saw Longyan, and behind them was the Great Zhou Dingding, which was so prosperous.

As the eldest son of the king and the heir apparent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the son should have this abnormal appearance on his skin.

The Snow Chi beast has horns on its head, but it is called "Chi" instead of "Qiu". There is no other reason, but it is just a taboo.

Seeing this, Lu Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief, and said firmly: "Everything is as expected! There is skin under the skin. Although it has grown in one place, there is still a very small gap to be found. Passing on skills, tools, and skinning, the poor are capable enough."

At this time, the Donkey Head Prince had already sweated a little, it can be seen that even if the real skin was not injured, it was still quite painful to just cut the two skins with a knife.

After receiving Lu Qiyun's affirmative reply, the son's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his voice was also loud: "Okay! If this is done, both the father and I will be rewarded!"

He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "Lu Qing... I want you to do your best to peel off this donkey's skin completely! Hmm... it's the kind that can be worn back as it is." !"

Hearing this request, even though Lu Qiyun was always calm and calm, he couldn't help showing surprise at this moment: "If you want to ensure the integrity of the donkey's skin, it will only be slower if you are poor, even if the next knife is good, it will take a long time. The pain and torture are also extremely difficult to bear.”

"It's okay! I can bear it!" Donkey-headed son was categorical, leaving no room for doubt.

At this moment, Lu Qiyun has already seen that the character of the Great Zhou Prince in front of him is actually very stubborn and strong, and there is absolutely no room for change in the things he has identified, and for some reason, the world is praising his generosity and tolerance.

Fortunately, this request is not too difficult for Lu Qiyun, but it just takes more effort, anyway, it is not himself who hurts.

So, when the black donkey's scalp was finally completely peeled off, it was more than three hours later, and even the long-bearded servant who went to the imperial physician to have his severed finger reattached had already returned for a long time.

This Xia Daban was still a little distressed when he saw the blood stains on the smock worn by the son, and then he noticed the white skin with golden skin under the donkey's hide.

He was overjoyed immediately, his body shook violently like a swing, and he almost passed out.

When the entire black donkey scalp was removed, His Royal Highness's appearance, which was very similar to that of the king when he was young, appeared before his eyes again.

His Royal Highness, who was pale and almost bloodless, laughed, got up and helped Xia Daban himself, patted the old servant on the back, and carefully checked the tightly bound palm, then turned to look at the same face A whitish young Taoist priest.

The next moment, I saw the prince of the Great Zhou bowing to the ground, and sincerely thanked him: "Lu Qing's great kindness, I will keep it in my heart, and I will never owe you!"

Seeing this, the long-bearded servant knelt down on the ground again in a hurry, and respectfully kowtowed three times to Lu Qiyun, without any trace of resentment on his face.

The exhausted young Taoist smiled and accepted the gift from the two of them unceremoniously.

He lowered his head to look at the blood-stained black donkey's scalp, and suddenly he had deep doubts in his heart: "Why does this thing seem...deja vu?"
