Chapter 325: The Turks Have Divine Dogs
"You can pull it down!" Without waiting for Cui Geng to refute, Ji Ji, who was not far away, hurriedly ran forward and said disdainfully, "Isn't this obvious?" Who gave this big lute to your Khan? It's the Turtles! It is universally recognized that the Qiuzi people are good at music and rhythm, and they understand the principle of resonance, so what's so strange? ”
"No, it's still not." Sai Xiulun shook his head and said, "You let the lyre resonate because it is the same lyre. But the harmony of these two large and small lutes of our Khan would be too far-fetched to explain it by mere coincidence. Unless ......"
"Unless?"
Ji Ji laughed and said, "Unless the Qiuzi people have already taken your Khan's little pipa and secretly tried it I don't know how many times!" This just says a thing! ”
"What does that mean?" Seshuren Road.
"It means that you Modu Khan has the fine work of the Qiuzi people around him!" A cold light flashed in Ji Xuan's eyes, and he said sharply: "Sai Xiulun, don't you think that under this mistake, Cui Changshi has made such a great contribution to your Turks?" ”
The country of Qiuzi is small and the people are weak, and when Tubo is strong, it is dependent on Tubo, and when the Tang Dynasty is strong, it is dependent on the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the re-emergence of the Turks, they hooked up with the Turks.
It is not surprising that they did such a thing in order to curry favor with the Turkic Khan.
However, to curry favor and curry favor, arrange for the fine work to lurk around the Turkic Khan, who can steal the little pipa today, and steal something else tomorrow. What if one day, the Qiuzi Kingdom and the Turkic State will no longer mix oil in honey and become enemies? When the time comes, it is even possible to poison the Modu Khan.
This is a big hidden danger!
Sai Xiulun secretly kept an eye on it, and when he turned around, he immediately repaired a letter to inform the Khan that the turtle must be eliminated as soon as possible and never suffer in the future!
This is also a great credit that Sai Xiulun has earned by mistake!
But whether it is Qiuzi's meticulous work or his meritorious work, Sai Xiulun knows very well in his heart at the moment that these will not help the gambling game in front of him in the slightest, after all, he really lost!
He knew that there was no argument, so he lowered his head that was arrogant just now, and said, "I'm willing to gamble and lose!" I'm willing to pay a thousand gold to avoid this-eating bet, okay? ”
Cui Geng shrugged: "This official is not bad for money, Dingzhou is not bad for money, and our Great Zhou court is not bad for money!" ”
Sai Xiulun really didn't want to eat, so he raised five fingers and said, "This envoy is willing to give another five hundred first-class war horses to avoid the bet of eating, how about it?" ”
Cui Geng shook his head: "You still eat!" ”
"You...... Don't deceive people too much! Sai Xiulun watched Feng Changqing dangling half a spoonful of dung in front of his eyes, and scolded angrily, "Add another three thousand lambs, absolutely no more!" ”
Cui Geng smiled nonchalantly: "Sai Xiulun, don't say that we have a lot of resources in the Central Plains, we are a big country in Zhou, just say that we are Dingzhou Mansion, and we are not inferior to you." So, you'd better eat honestly! If you don't eat, how can you comfort the young life of the three people you mutilated? ”
After saying that, he shouted at Feng Changqing in a deep voice: "Chang Qing, if the envoy doesn't take the initiative to eat, you can feed him well!" ”
"Yes!" Feng Changqing's tower-like body stepped forward again, and the dung spoon had already been handed to Sai Xiulun's mouth.
"No, I'll do it myself!"
Sai Xiulun knew that today's spoonful of was unavoidable, so he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, mixed half a spoonful of sugar into half a spoonful of dung, forcibly put it into his mouth, and swallowed it vigorously.
"Vomit ......"
The ladies present were deeply disgusted, and they covered their noses and mouths and turned their heads.
But the old men present didn't have so much kindness for women, and they were all very happy and applauded - if you don't let this old Turkic dog suffer a loss, will the three Dingzhou soldiers die in vain? Cui Changshi is right, Sai Xiulun doesn't eat, how can he comfort the three government soldiers who are wronged in heaven?
Zhang Xingrang, the head of the Ministry of Rites, rubbed his palms excitedly, leaned into Cui Geng's ear, and whispered excitedly: "Thank you Cui Changshi, along the way, Sai Xiulun prides himself on being a foreign envoy, but he has made it difficult for us and other officials of the Ministry of Rites." Now, it's really a bad breath for our Ministry of Rites! ”
The Turks were extremely barbaric, and the Ministry of Rites usually suffered their losses, and the so-called "Li Shizhi" incident was just one of them.
The Great Zhou also boasted that he was the superior state of the Heavenly Dynasty and was unwilling to deal with the small countries of Fanbang, so on weekdays, these officials of the Ministry of Rites, who were responsible for receiving foreign affairs, were often bullied by the Turks.
Wang Zhu on the side was more interested in Ji Ji, who suddenly rushed up, and asked, "I don't know what this adult is called?" can deduce that there are spies of the Qiuzi people around Mo Du, this insight is really not simple! ”
"In the lower auspicious period, see the history of the king."
Wang Zhu recalled a little and said, "Ji Ji? The name sounds familiar......"
Ji Xuan said suddenly: "The former Yizhou assassin Shi Jizhe is his father!" ”
"Oh, Gi-cheol's son."
Ji Zhe's case was handled by Wang Zhu himself, and of course he knew who Ji Zhe was.
As soon as he heard Ji Ji's self-report, Wang Zhu's face suddenly sank, and he whispered, "The son is not like the father", and then he no longer paid attention to Ji Ji.
Ji Ji had already guessed that this would be the result, and he didn't dare to continue to be close to Wang Zhutao, so he silently flashed aside.
At this time, Sai Xiulun had already drunk several large pots of water in a row, and slightly suppressed the nausea and nausea in his heart, after all, after eating such a small half spoonful of feces, he could still stand and talk, and Sai Xiulun really still had something unique.
He poured a few more mouthfuls of water, rinsed his mouth, and then looked at Cui Geng, and asked with hatred: "The surname Cui, do you dare to compete with this envoy in the second game?" ”
Cui Geng smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand and asked: "It's better than it, as long as the envoy can still eat, the official will accompany him at any time!" ”
"You ......" Sai Xiulun was disgusted again, beckoned to the envoys around him, and shouted: "Come on, bring the divine dog up!" ”
"Whoa!"
It didn't take much effort before a Turk took a large chest from his horse.
The inside of the box is made of yellow silk and decorated with pearls and jade, which is very gorgeous.
In the middle of the box is a small dog, with smooth hair all over its body and two small eyes that are very cute.
At this time, a Dingzhou official asked: "This is what you Turkic call a divine dog?" Isn't it just a pup? I don't know where God is? ”
"Hmph, you Central Plains people naturally don't know how powerful this divine dog is!" Sai Xiulun completely forgot the embarrassment of eating just now, and proudly introduced: "This dog was purchased by my family's Mo Khan with ten thousand gold, not only good at dancing, but also divining people's good fortune and misfortune. ”
"What? Can puppies also tell fortunes? Dingzhou officials were shocked.
"Of course, how else would it be revered as a divine dog by our Turkic nation? If you don't believe me, this envoy will show you a demonstration. ”
Later, he ordered someone to bring out the props that had been prepared.
First of all, it is a roll of yellow silk with a square foot, which is densely packed with many numbers. Then there is a pile of bamboo chips, each of which also has numbers written on it.
Sai Hulun looked at Cui Geng and said, "Cui Changshi, have you seen it?" On this yellow silk, it is written from the first day of the first month to the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and every six dates is a grid. And on these bamboo pieces, the date is also written. ”
Cui Geng nodded and said, "See!" ”
Sai Xiulun said: "You only need to choose your birthday on the bamboo piece, and then cover it on the corresponding square, and the divine dog will be able to calculate your birthday." Cui Changshi, do you believe it or not? ”
Cui Geng nodded again very seriously: "I believe it!" ”
"Ahem......"
Sai Xiulun was so hung that he was choked to death by Cui Geng's words, and he didn't know how to answer. Nima, can you chat? Shouldn't you Cui Erlang shake your head and say categorically that you don't believe it?
He had to take the next step and asked, "Then does Cui Changshi know that I, a divine dog, have such magical abilities?" ”
"Huh, what an arrogant frog at the bottom of the well!"
Cui Geng sneered and said, "What a bullshit god dog." This kind of divination and fortune-telling ability, the official can find a leper dog at random, and he can do it after three or two months of training! Are you Turks really so lonely and uninformed? This kind of dog is also worthy of being called a god dog? ”
Sai Xiulun's face turned green, and he scolded: "Cui Changshi, don't talk big with red mouth and white teeth!" ”
Cui Geng said again: "Sai Xiulun, don't judge others with your ignorance!" Do you think this official doesn't know what this so-called divine dog divination is all about? ”
In fact, when the Turks brought these strange props, Cui Geng understood what Sai Xiulun wanted to fix!
Isn't it a common deception of charlatans - fortune telling of spirit birds!
Although this deception was very rare in the Tang Dynasty, it was already very popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Even in modern society, there are still many people who use it to cheat money in remote towns.
It's just that the Turks didn't know where to find a puppy to replace the spirit bird, if you talk about the difficulty of training, the dog can be much easier than the bird's training.
The key to this deception is that only one of the numbers on the bamboo board and the numbers on the yellow silk will be exactly the same.
Therefore, as long as you know the area covered and which bamboo board, the birthday will jump out and have nothing to do with "divination".
In this case, this cute puppy is not related to the god dog, at best it is a well-trained and obedient puppy.
After exposing the deception, Cui Geng pointed again: "The mystery has been revealed, okay, hurry up, please take another spoonful of special envoys." Chang Qing, prepare half a spoonful for the special envoy of Sai, remember, half a spoonful of frosting and half a spoonful of, you must satisfy the special envoy of Sai, let him know the hospitality of our Central Plains people! ”
"Order!" Feng Changqing went to prepare again.
"You... Wait a minute... I haven't come up with the question yet, why are I going to eat again? The competition hasn't even started, do you think I'm asking you to guess the principle of this divine dog's divination? Wrong! ”
When Sai Xiulun heard that he was going to eat again, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to sell it, and said hurriedly: "Even if divination is false, it is a fact that my divine dog is extremely smart. ”
This time, Sai Huron didn't pretend to be forced, and honestly let the god dog perform a "greyhound's fortune telling".
In the fortune-telling of spirit birds in later generations, the last step is all for the liar to point out that the person's birthday is the first day of the month, and the little bird will just pull a lot and forget it.
But this spirit dog of Sai Xiulun actually took out a spirit from three hundred and sixty smaller pieces of bamboo.
The date marked above is the date specified by Cui Geng!
Cui Geng looked at it, and was a little dumbfounded on the spot!
This puppy is too smart, isn't he? How do they usually train?
Cui Geng was curious about where the Turks had bought the puppy, and he wanted to know how the original owner had trained the puppy to become so smart. If this clever puppy is trained in large quantities and used as a scout in the army......
Cui Geng was still thinking, and he listened to the pipa again!
It turned out that Sehuren ordered someone to play the lute, and in the vocal music, I saw the puppy jumping up and down, in harmony with the rhythm, like a real dancer, jumping up and down, and jumping up and down as if he were fascinated.
"Wow, that's so cute!"
"I really want to have a puppy like this!"
"It's a pity that this puppy is worth 10,000 gold, and the slave family's private money is not enough, otherwise I really want to buy it."
"If you want to buy it, the Turks won't necessarily sell it!"
……
The ladies were impressed by the puppy's wonderful performance and screamed again and again.
Seeing that these Han people in the field were impressed by their own divine dogs, Sai Xiulun was very proud!
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Cui Changshi, now the second question is here, since your country prides itself on being a treasure of things and outstanding people, then dare to ask Cui Changshi, can your country come up with such a smart divine dog?" ”
