Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

Chapter 20: Fake Shizi (20)

The third princess was still wondering if Tao Rui would guess the meaning when he saw the reward. But she didn't know that her conversation with the emperor had already been relayed to Tao Rui by Liu Nian.

Tao Rui was sitting in the tent drinking water, while Qingsong was busy making and cleaning his bed. After knowing the thoughts of the third princess and the emperor, he touched his chin and pondered.

It is also a person who has been an emperor, and the thinking mode is easy to understand. He never thought of rebelling against a wise monarch, then this matter would benefit him without any harm, and it would be fine to follow their wishes.

In fact, it was not long before he crossed over, and a lot of things had already happened around him, and the situation changed faster than he imagined.

This is all because he ignored the wisdom of this emperor.

He had never seen the emperor before, and only learned from the original owner's memory that the emperor was a Ming Jun, but he did not expect the emperor to be so smart and keen, with a good outlook on right and wrong and a good mind, and he even took action to promote the change of things.

Another thing that he didn't expect was that he only participated in the competition in order to reverse the reputation of the straw bag and reverse the disadvantage in terms of people's hearts. The third princess was unexpectedly attracted to her, and she even told the emperor, otherwise his affairs might not attract the emperor's attention from beginning to end.

Anyway, if things have come to this point, the advantages for him outweigh the disadvantages, and the emperor's attitude is also appreciative, so it doesn't matter. As for the third princess to pay attention to him, the third princess was born by the first queen, and there is no siblings of the same mother and compatriots, and the struggle for succession mixed by the original owner has nothing to do with her. She is a safe person, so don't worry.

After Tao Rui settled these things, he lay down on the bed and asked Qingsong to guard the door, saying he wanted to rest.

He has innovated a new cultivation method in the past two days. He can practice while lying down, and it looks like he is sleeping, which is convenient and safe. The first world he traveled through was the high-difficulty cultivation world. He really did not expect that the cultivation techniques he learned at that time would still be used after such a long time.

The result of his cultivation during this period of time is that he has entered the first level of qi training. In the realm of self-cultivation, he is considered the most basic, low-level, and will not be taken seriously, but in this ordinary world, his skill Absolutely much higher than the big inner master.

Fortunately, Tao Qian's father started out with military exploits, and the original owner also studied martial arts. He rarely loses in fights with others. It's not surprising that he has become better now. If it was originally a weak physique, it would be difficult to explain if it suddenly became stronger.

At the beginning of the bonfire dinner in the evening, the emperor announced the decision to set up the arena competition and the lucky draw. Everyone was amazed, and they all felt that it was very strange to compete in the arena and reward the guards, just as strange as the emperor suddenly came to hunt. What do the reward guards do? Do the children of the most powerful family need to be monitored?

The ministers were guessing the emperor's intentions all day long. They ate dishes and drank wine at the dinner party. Everyone chatted happily together, and they were also thinking about the emperor's intentions in their hearts.

Some people think that it is complicated, and they think that the emperor wants to test the children of aristocratic families, select a group of outstanding ones, and entrust them with important tasks.

Some people are simply worried that their son is too useless, and that he will be embarrassed in the ring and displeased by the emperor, which will affect the family.

Others saw the third and fourth princesses sitting under the emperor, and thought that the two, sixteen and fourteen, were the age to look at their concubines, and suddenly realized. Could it be that the emperor's move was to choose a consort for the princess? The purpose of rewarding the guards is to investigate closely whether the winner is worthy of being the consort?

The son-in-law is also guessing, they are all sitting together, a little far away from the emperor and ministers, and they speak a little louder, and they can't hear it there, so the discussion started.

"Why do you suddenly compete in martial arts? Didn't you tell me before you came here? If you knew I would... ah, I don't like martial arts!"

"I don't know what it means to take the exam, should it be better or worse? You can't choose a guard team, right?"

"Why do you say you want to reward the guards in front of the emperor? What's the use? Is it to bring out the prestige? That's quite majestic, but you can't do things arbitrarily in the future, or you'll be unhappy when the emperor finds out, isn't it over?"

"You also think too much. Your three-legged cat kung fu doesn't need to think about this trouble at all. It's just those few people who should think about it."

Everyone laughed for a while, and the ones mentioned were the son of the general, the son of the prime minister, the son of the prince, and so on. They are very good on weekdays. Because of their outstanding martial arts, they don't like to gather together with everyone, and they don't like the ignorant and ignorant dude of the original owner. Therefore, Tao Rui naturally doesn't understand the original owner.

Those few people were sitting together, and they were also discussing and thinking, but their voices were very low, and others didn't know what they were thinking.

Huang Shizi, who was sorry for Tao Rui, drank a few glasses of wine and got a little drunk.

"Tao Shizi, Xuan Jin... Hou Shizi, what do you think? The reward for the first name is a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as well as all kinds of furs that you may not be able to buy. You must be tempted to win, right? After all... You will be the son of a farmer in the future, and these good things will be gone hahaha.”

Hearing the words, the son of the general looked at him. He disdainfully paid attention to Huang Shizi, but looked at Tao Rui and asked, "You are the Tao Shizi who shot two birds with one arrow a while ago? I like archery the most. How about we have a chance to test it tomorrow?"

Tao Rui said: "Tomorrow the emperor has arranged two competitions. It's not easy to be distracted. Let's keep our private competitions for later."

Huang Shizi patted the table with a smile and said, "Tao Rui, you are cowardly? I just said that you are a blind cat and a dead mouse, how could you be so powerful? In the future, you will be a young talent, who should you compare with? Ha ha!"

Tao Rui didn't lift his eyelids, he ate the vegetables on his own, and reminded, "Be restrained, if you offend the emperor, you will have to peel off the skin even if you don't die."

This is a dinner party watched by the emperor. Isn't it courting death if you dare to drink too much? Not even the slightest absurd behavior. Huang Shizi looked at the emperor subconsciously, but when he met his father's eyes, he instantly woke up and sat up straight. It made a few boys around him sneer.

Huang Shizi snorted coldly: "What are you laughing at? Don't say that you don't think so, Tao Ruike is not the same as us, the luck is important to him. Isn't his five-game winning streak just for the luck?"

"Speaking of which, Tao Shizi told us how you won the 100,000 taels? Is the money in the casino so easy to win?"

"I tried it on purpose, and I lost fifty taels. I couldn't figure it out from the beginning to the end. Could you ask Tao Shizi how to do it?"

Tao Rui picked up the wine glass and said, "Good luck. Let me gamble again, but I may not win." After saying this, he added, "The lottery jackpot given by the emperor is really attractive. I will do my best in this competition. Not for the gold and silver jewels. I was thinking..."

He looked at Huang Shizi and pouted, "If the emperor can personally bestow a bodyguard, he can teach him a lesson if he encounters people who bark in the future. Who would dare to stop the emperor's guards?"

Tao Rui figured out the role of the "talisman", and there was silence around him. First, they didn't think so, and they didn't dare to call the guard. Second, they were surprised that Tao Rui really dared to speak up and win the championship.

Huang Shizi immediately sneered: "Tao Rui, you are dreaming before you can rest? I think you are the one who barks incompetently. No one cared about you before because of your identity. In the future, hehe."

Several young masters looked at Tao Rui with the same eyes as Huang Shizi. They were waiting for the emperor to remove Tao Rui's title of heir, so they could settle their past grievances with Tao Rui.

Tao Rui raised his glass and drank it and looked at them with a smile, unafraid. This made them feel at a loss, and they began to speculate that Tao Rui really had the ability from time to time, otherwise how could he be so fearless?

For the next day's competition, the dinner didn't last long. The emperor left the table first, and then everyone went back to rest one after another. Maybe a lot of people didn't eat or drink well because they were guessing the emperor's mind. Tao Rui didn't disappoint the cook at all. No matter what other people were doing, he just had a good meal.

I have to say that some dishes made in the wild with smoke and fire really have a unique flavor, which you can't eat at all.

When he went back, Qi Lang was still worried about him, "Why aren't you worried at all? I think Huang Shizi's few people have bad intentions for you. I saw you many times during the dinner party. I'm afraid that tomorrow's hunting will be uneasy."

Tao Rui patted him on the shoulder, "Mingxian, you think too much, even if they want to trouble me, they will have to go back after they go back. In the paddock, how can they have the courage? If they cause trouble, the emperor's anger is not something they can bear. It's up. They can only play tricks."

"Even if they go back and trouble you again, it's annoying enough."

"So I have to work hard to win the emperor's bodyguards. When the time comes, I will give them courage, and they will not dare to trouble me."

Tao Rui's words were quite casual, and Qi Lang was about to kneel when he heard it, "Sincerely, you, you don't have a fever, right? I know you are very good, and your archery skills are good, but there are still people who will compete with you tomorrow. How many are good at martial arts?"

Saying that, Qi Lang waved his hand again, "Hey, why do I say that? It's just that the ambition of others destroys your own prestige. You have a good rest, don't think too much, we will hunt together tomorrow."

Tao Rui knew that it was useless to say anything to him. Before his strength was revealed, no one would believe that he could win. Probably only the emperor and the third princess believed in him. Thinking of this situation, Tao Rui wanted to laugh. He simply didn't say anything, told Qi Lang to have a good rest, and then lay down and practiced after drinking the spring water.

After one night, everyone changed into their riding clothes and prepared to go.

The emperor rode on his horse, pointed to a copper coin hanging on a big tree in the distance, and said with a smile, "I won't draw a bow this time. Who would like to be the first to open a bow and shoot an arrow? Shoot the copper coin and start hunting."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, nothing else, the copper coins were really too small and too far away! And hang it on the branch with a long wire, the copper coins are shaking with a little wind, who can shoot this?

Even if the general's son felt that his archery skills were far superior to others, he didn't dare to list at this moment.

No scene can embarrass the emperor. Just a few seconds of silence, Tao Rui led the horse out of the queue.

"Your Majesty, Xiaosheng likes to study archery, maybe you can give it a try."

The emperor smiled and said, "Then you can try it. Today's first arrow will be sent by you."

"Yes." Tao Rui replied, Qi Lang couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

His face was terribly calm, but everyone present was sweating for him. Such a long shot to shake the coins? What are you thinking? To please the emperor to die? !
