Chapter 702: Snake Garden
Li Hao smiled faintly, and said in his words: "Yes, this way, fighting wits and courage with others, it is indeed a little tiring, the climate here in Nanzhao is humid, and my old leg problem has been committed again, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk to the palace without a cane." ”
Xinu Luo said with a dry smile: "The angel has a long way to go, the capable work hard, and the angel has worked hard." ”
Li Hao still said with a smile on his face: "Claiming the four Yi for my emperor, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." ”
After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Li Hao is now a veteran of officialdom, this sentence is really arrogant, and he actually called them barbarians in front of the ministers of Nanzhao and the king of Nanzhao, this is a kind of prestige, yes, they are barbarians, an indisputable fact.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers suddenly became unnatural, although it was the truth, but saying it here made them very uncomfortable, Xi Nuluo frowned slightly when he heard this, but seeing Li Hao staring at him, he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he could only laugh dryly: "The angel said yes." ”
Li Hao took out the canonization edict and said loudly: "This time I met the king of Nanzhao for canonization, this is the edict of canonization, and the king of Nanzhao Mengxinuluo listened to the seal!" ”
Hearing this, Xinuluo hurriedly got up, stepped down from the high seat, bowed and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "Mengxinu Luo respectfully listens to the holy will!" ”
Even Xinuluo was so respectful, how could the other ministers dare to slack off, they bowed down one after another, and in the entire hall, everyone lowered their heads, and only Li Hao stood straight.
Looking at the fine slaves and ministers who hung their heads and listened to the seal, Li Hao suddenly sighed in his heart, a country is strong, all states are called ministers, so glorious, no wonder Li Shimin likes the hat of Tian Khan so much, it can indeed greatly satisfy the vanity of a king, but unfortunately, people have life and death, the rise and fall of the state, although the Tang Dynasty is strong now, but the replacement of the old and the new, there will always be a loser emperor, and the ministers will become less honest, when the Tang Dynasty declines, will these states still bird them.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Hao secretly thought: "I must make Datang stronger and go further, it is best to be so strong forever, and transform from the historical Datang to a new Datang." ”
Xinuluo and the ministers have been waiting for Li Hao to read the edict with their heads down, but Li Hao has already been in a fugue, Xinuluo has been waiting for a long time without a sound, raised his head slightly, peeked at it, and saw Li Hao standing there with straight eyes, and suddenly was annoyed, he felt that Li Hao was deliberately putting on a shelf, so he coughed.
This cough pulled Li Hao's thoughts back, and he unfolded the edict and read it out loud, probably worried about the low cultural level of these Nanzhao people, this edict was written relatively straightforwardly, roughly to praise the loyalty and courage of Nuluo, to be able to unify the six edicts, and to admire the Tang Dynasty, and then officially canonize him as the king of Nanzhao.
After reading the edict of canonization, Shinura thanked him loudly, took it, and returned to his seat.
As soon as the buttocks sat firmly, Xinuluo said: "The angel came to Nanzhao this time to proclaim the decree, the week was tired, and when he first came, he was seriously ill, the king has not been able to catch the wind for the angels, today is a good opportunity, the king set up a banquet in the palace of the king of Qianwang at noon, the banquet angels, and the angels must appreciate the light." ”
Li Hao sneered secretly when he heard this, this fine slave seemed to be preparing to snatch his Zen staff at the banquet, wine is a thing, if you drink too much, you will make a mistake, but he has a good idea.
Li Hao prevaricated: "It's still very early before noon, and besides, my alcohol is too poor, and the wine is very poor, so don't bother King Nanzhao." ”
"Well, how can that work?" Xinuluo waved his hand and pretended to be enthusiastic, "This king admires the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and knows that the Tang people have many courtesies, and they have to set up a banquet to practice the wind, these are inevitable, the angel is the young hero of the Tang Dynasty, how can the amount of alcohol be bad." ”
Li Hao grinned and said: "I have a really bad amount of alcohol, and the wine is also very poor, after I get drunk, I like to beat people indiscriminately, and when the time comes, I will collide with the king of Nanzhao, I am afraid that the king of Nanzhao will be unhappy." ”
Xinuluo was stunned when he heard this, he was really a little scared, if Li Hao really beat people after getting drunk, how could it be good, his ability is so high, but no one can stop him, but for the sake of the mountains and rivers of the society, Xinuluo still decided to take a risk and try, so he said: "This is the king's fist to the angel, please don't shirk the angel." ”
To put it bluntly, if you put it in the vernacular, the meaning is very simple: "I am sincere, and I must give face."
It's all said and done, what can Li Hao do, although he knows that this is the other party's conspiracy, but he can't refuse, otherwise he won't give the other party a face, how can people say that he is also the king of a country, and now he is on other people's territory.
Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, since King Nanzhao is so hospitable, how can I refuse." At the same time, he secretly sneered in his heart, "This is what you asked for, I can't even refuse, I have a good time when I drink, don't regret it later." ”
Next, King Nanzhao sent people to prepare a banquet, and he and his ministers took Li Hao to visit his palace, which was originally Shi Langzhao's palace, and after he occupied this place, it was expanded again, which was much larger than before.
Nanzhao Palace covers an area of more than 100 acres, and Taiji Palace is naturally incomparable, but it is not small, at least much larger than Li Hao's summer resort, Nanzhao King took Li Hao to visit the palace, in fact, the purpose is not so simple.
It looks like a boring time to pass the time, but when he took Li Hao to a garden, Li Hao suddenly found that this garden was full of tropical trees, not so much a garden, but more like a tropical rainforest, this garden is not small, covering an area of nearly twenty acres, such a large yard, if there are no poisonous snakes and poisonous insects or anything, he will not believe it.
King Nanzhao took Li Hao and walked forward slowly, Li Hao looked around vigilantly, walked for a long time, and a Nanzhao guard who followed Li Hao quietly took out a small pot, poured some powdery things into his hand, and sprinkled it on Li Hao's back.
But Li Hao is now a martial arts master, and he seems to feel that there is a movement behind him, and immediately turned his head, and at this moment, the soldier has finished sprinkling the powder, and he is still holding the pot in his hand, seeing Li Hao turning his head to look at himself, he suddenly froze there, his face full of horror.
Although Li Hao felt the abnormality, he didn't have eyes behind him, and he didn't know that his body had been manipulated, he frowned and looked at the guard, saw the pot in his hand, and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”
Cold sweat trickled down the guard's forehead, and he stammered, "No...... Nothing ......."
Everyone stopped for this, and Xinura hurried over, looked at the pot in the guard's hand, and hurriedly explained: "This thing is the powder of herbs used to repel snakes and insects, and there are snakes and insects in this garden from time to time, for the safety of the king and the angels, they must find a way to drive away snakes and insects, just in case." ”
"Yes." A trace of coldness flashed in Li Hao's eyes, and he suddenly remembered one thing, when he was in the beast park of Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Ke had planned to use a tiger to kill him, is it possible that Xinuluo would also use this trick? Just replace the Tiger with a Viper.
If Xinuluo knew Li Hao's thoughts at the moment, he would definitely be shocked and his eyes fell, why, because Li Hao completely guessed his plan, the guard poured a variety of herbs on Li Hao after drying and grinding powder, one of which is the crane grass, also known as dragon tooth grass, in the future world, the crane grass is quite famous, because the crane grass is known as one of the best anti-cancer drugs in the world, but this grass is the easiest to attract snakes, the guard sprinkled some crane grass on Li Hao's body, in order to attract the poisonous snakes in the garden, of course, This is arranged by Xinuluo, Xinuluo plans to bite Li Hao with a poisonous snake, and then help him treat him himself, when he is treated, give Li Hao a sweat pill or something, let him fall unconscious, and he can easily transfer the mountains and rivers in the Zen stick.
Thinking of Xinuluo's sinister intentions, Li Hao suddenly frowned and said, "King Nanzhao, this forest makes me feel very uncomfortable, I'd better go out." ”
Xinuluo was stunned when he heard this, and secretly shouted in his heart: "How can this be done, if he goes out, then my plan will be in vain." ”
He immediately began to roll his eyes wildly and began to think about how to reply, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the surrounding grass, and Xinuluo was suddenly ecstatic, and suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Don't move! Don't move! ”
Everyone suddenly didn't dare to move, those guards were on guard with weapons in their hands, looking around nervously, and the ministers were so frightened that they drilled into the middle of the crowd, they heard it, this is the sound of snakes swimming, and not one or two, it is hundreds of snakes, although the Nanzhao people are used to seeing poisonous snakes, many people are also good at catching poisonous snakes, and some people are good at raising snakes, but now there are not a few snakes, but hundreds, or even thousands, although this garden has no name, they all know that this is the garden where Xinuluo raises poisonous snakes, As long as they caught poisonous snakes, they all threw them into this garden, so they called this garden the snake garden.
At this moment, not only on the grass, but also on the trees, there are many snakes entwined around the branches to this side, the sound of hundreds of snakes swimming together makes all the people creepy, Li Hao already feels that his scalp is numb, he is most afraid of snakes, and he is even more afraid of poisonous snakes, although he had close contact with snakes during the Five Poisons Sect, his fear of snakes has decreased, but it has only decreased, don't you see that this group of ministers of Nanzhao are afraid now.
Listening to the sounds around him, Li Hao felt that he couldn't stay here any longer, he felt like he was waiting for death, and he pushed away the people behind him and ran back.
Li Hao's brute force was extremely large, a group of Nanzhao guards and ministers were pushed by him to stagger, and as soon as they fell, it was a large piece, Li Hao stepped on everyone's body directly, and everyone screamed in pain, and the scene was chaotic.
Because it is in the palace, there are not many accompanying guards brought by King Nanzhao, there are more than 30, and there are not many ministers, only more than 20, and everyone together is only more than 50 people, the team is not big, Li Hao pushed down more than a dozen people, rushed out of the team, spread his legs and ran back, but he only ran less than ten steps, and saw a group of poisonous snakes in front of him looking at him with their heads held high, and then, many snakes came out of the grass around him, surrounding him.
