The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 80 Scorpion Swallowing
The three rounds of competition have passed, and the fourth round will begin shortly thereafter.

Emperor Xi Qi nodded, and immediately the eunuchs pushed four carts full of bamboo tubes up.Those bamboo tubes are as long as a palm, and the child's arms are thick. One side is sealed, and the other side is stuffed with a cork. I don't know what to do with it.

The eunuch lowered his voice and announced the rules of the competition, "This round is about ingenuity. These are hollow bamboo tubes. There is an old saying in Xiqi that there is a universe inside. Our bamboo tubes also have a universe inside."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the bamboo tube that he had prepared in advance, unwrapped the wrapped straw rope to seal, and showed the contents inside, one was stuffed with cotton, and the other was a stone bead wrapped in cotton.

He held the bamboo tube and said, "There are [-] bamboo tubes in each car, but only five tubes contain stone beads. After a while, the miscellaneous family will light half a stick of incense. Who can find out the hidden gems before the incense sticks burn out?" Five Runyu, that is the winner of this game."

After finishing speaking, a little eunuch brought up a low table, and on the table was an incense burner, in which stood half a piece of fine incense.

The bamboo tubes on the cart are piled up like a hill, even if you count them, you have to count the time for two sticks of incense, but it is not easy to find the stone beads inside before half a stick of incense.

Prince Beili turned his head to look at the military envoy, and the two were whispering something aside.

Baili Tianqi stared at the bamboo tube and asked, "Excuse me, eunuch, can you use auxiliary tools?"

Eunuch Sima immediately said, "Of course it can be used. Whatever His Royal Highness needs, just ask."

Baili Tianqi nodded, and didn't say anything for a while, Xuanyuanchen remained silent, but Ziheng frowned tightly, with a slightly anxious look on his face.

Four teams, three teams each won a game, but Xiqi's native talents have no luck, if they don't win a game, they will lose face...

Seeing that everyone had no objection, the big eunuch nodded, and then the little eunuch brought a fire bag, and he lit the fine incense, and the competition began.

Almost at the same time as the incense was lit, Prince Beili and his party of five rushed forward like arrows, and quickly opened the bamboo tube with the bamboo tube. It was really fast, and within a short while, more than a dozen were taken apart.

However, there are more than a dozen or eight hundred, after all, there is a long distance, even if the speed is fast enough, it may take half a stick of incense to dismantle them.

Looking at Baili Tianqi earlier, he just said something to the little eunuch on the side. The eunuch took orders and hurriedly walked away, and after a while, he came over with a scale.

Baili Tianqi ordered people to divide the bamboo tubes into piles of ten and put them on the scales. The heavier side was kept open, and the lighter side was eliminated.

Stone beads are heavier than cotton, so weighing in this way is also a good way.However, the wind was strong today, and the scales were always unstable. He was busy for a long time before he found a stone bead.

Looking at Xuanyuanchen and Ziheng, they both stood still, staring at the bamboo tube trying to find a way.

More cleverness... It must be unreasonable to play cards, what method will be used, it will be quick and easy...

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't get along, so I picked up the teacup on the table, used the lid to cover the floating tea a few times, and took a sip.When I was about to drink, a small insect flew from the side, Rong Zi raised his eyes quickly, and flicked vigorously, intending to flick the insect away, but he just swiped it right into my teacup.

"Uh...hehe, I didn't mean it." He smiled dryly, and handed over the teacup. "How about you drink my cup."

I ignored him, but looked at the little insect struggling with its wings wet in the teacup, and suddenly thought of something.

water!Yes, with water!

"Come here." Almost at the same time, Xuanyuan Chen and Ziheng in the center of the field called out at the same time, and immediately a little eunuch ran over, and the two of them whispered a few words to each of them, and the eunuch turned around and ran away. After a while, two large tanks filled with water were brought over.

Xuanyuanchen and Ziheng looked at each other and smiled appreciatively.

The so-called heroes see the same thing, that's it.

The two did not hesitate, and hurriedly ordered people to pour the bamboo tubes into the water in batches.

Stone beads are heavier than cotton, and sink when exposed to water. Xuanyuan Chen fished out the bamboo tube that had sunk in the water, untied the straw rope to seal it, and found one stone bead. He did the same, and soon found the second and third stone beads. beads.

Looking at Ziheng, his speed is not inferior, and he found four stone beads.

Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, everyone was nervous. At this time, Ziheng quickly poured all the remaining bamboo tubes into the big vat, then picked up the sinking bamboo tube and shouted, "Our team is looking for the whole team!" Already!"

Everyone stopped their hands to look, he hurriedly untied the straw rope in his hand, and it was indeed the last stone bead inside.

The old emperor also had a smile on his face, and nodded slightly.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The prince Beili had been busy for so long, only to find two beads, and Baili Tianqi only found three. Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Ziheng, smiled, put down the bamboo tube that had been dismantled a few times in his hand, and changed it. He bowed his hands and saluted, and went to Ziheng to say congratulations.

After three rounds, it was finally Xi Qi's turn to win. The people in the stands held back their energy for a long time, and this time they finally felt elated, and hurriedly clapped their hands and slammed the table vigorously.

The eunuch immediately announced loudly, "In the fourth round, the Xiqi team won!"

In the four competitions, the four teams each won one game, which can be said to be evenly matched, but there is only one princess, which is difficult to handle.

It remains to be seen who the princess will be.

The Grand Eunuch took a deep breath, bowed his head and listened to His Majesty, then got up and announced loudly, "The four teams all won one game, it can be said that each has its own merits in terms of culture and military strategy, and to determine the outcome, we should add a game. "

Everyone nodded in agreement.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly, "I, Princess Xiqi, is beautiful, virtuous and gentle. If you marry someone, you must marry someone who is sincere. Therefore, this last game is more sincere than it is."

"Sincerely?" The First Prince Beili was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Is there any comparison? I, Murong Hao, are the most sincere. Whatever the princess wants, just say it, delicacies, jewellery, as long as she speaks out, Murong Hao will naturally give it to you." If you put something in front of the princess, you just want a star in the sky, if there is a way to take it off, Murong Hao will definitely not hesitate."

The eunuch laughed and said, "The eldest prince is indeed a man of temperament, but I, the tenth princess of Xiqi, is the emperor's favorite, the jewel in the palm of your majesty, there is no shortage of delicacies from mountains and seas, and it is rare to feed a sincere heart."

Prince Beili thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Alright, let's hear what the comparison is."

As soon as the eunuch waved his hand, some palace maids brought a few cups and boxes in small steps, lifted the lid lightly, and stepped back a few steps.

When everyone probed to see, they were all secretly surprised.

This is……

"Oh my God, this is a big move, uh!" Rong Ziyang grinned and almost retched.

I also slowed down a bit to stabilize my mind.

scorpion...

In the four cups, there are live Overlord Scorpions. Your Majesty will not want to...

The eunuch said, "In it, there are overlord scorpions with processed tails. They are all non-toxic. If anyone really wants to marry a princess, he can eat one. I, Princess Xiqi, will be his wife."

Danger and temptation coexist, if you eat a scorpion, you will have the princess and Xi Qi as a backup.This sounds pretty good.

However, the team leaders, who are either princes or princes, are usually pampered and don't take a second look at the poor dishes. Now it's not easy to let them eat those scorpions.

Everyone's expressions were not very good, Baili Tianqi's expression was even more serious.He glanced at the princess under the chariot, then at the scorpion, his eyes deepened slightly.

I guess, he is doing a mental struggle.

I went to look at Xuanyuanchen again, he just curled his lips, Ziheng frowned slightly, but the prince Beili had a complicated expression on his face, an attendant behind him stepped forward two steps, carefully touching the cup box, an overlord The scorpion raised its tail in a swish, and he backed up several steps with a cry of fright before he stopped.

"How about it, what do you envoys think?" Da Huan Si tried to ask.

Xuanyuan Chen cupped his hands and replied directly, "Xuanyuan Chen has been afraid of these scorpions since he was a child, and this time he came here for his brother, so he won't participate in this round."

The eunuch hurriedly returned a salute, and arranged for someone to lead him to the upper seat.

Ziheng also seemed to want to resign, but seeing Mr. Zuo Xiang staring fiercely, he didn't say anything more.

Baili Tianqi didn't speak, Prince Beili had a complicated expression on his face, and the talents of his own country were also dull. The scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

I casually picked up a piece of jujube cake and put it in my mouth to chew slowly. Rong Ziyang leaned over and asked, "Hey, girl from the Su family, who do you think would eat scorpions?"

I guess it should be Baili Tianqi.

After all, in his eyes, nothing can compare to the grand plan and great cause in his heart.For the grand cause, for military power, he can do anything.What a mere domineering scorpion, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, marrying a beautiful woman and Xiqi at the same time, what a wonderful thing it is.

Rong Ziyang stroked his chin a few times, and said, "I guess it will be that Beili prince Murong Hao."

"I also guess that it will be the Prince Beili." Ji Yunchang, who had been silent all this time, also spoke.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, he seemed to smile and didn't explain.

As if to verify his words, the Prince Beili suddenly shouted, "Princess, Murong Hao really likes you."

After speaking, he took a big step forward, grabbed the biggest scorpion, raised his head and stuffed it into the mouth. Even though he was far away, I still heard a crunching sound.

I was chewing the jujube cake when suddenly I felt nauseated, I endured it for a long time, and finally I vomited it out...

"Are you okay?" Ji Yunchang quickly handed over the teacup.I took a big gulp and took a sip to feel relieved.

"it is good!"

There were several loud shouts in the arena, it was Murong Hao's followers who were cheering for him.

In this way, the Prince Beili naturally won the game.

Someone had brought a teacup earlier and asked him to drink water to cleanse his mouth. Gong'e hurried over and hung the red brocade ball that had been prepared already around his neck. There was blood stained by the scorpion shell at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of excitement. splendor.

According to the agreement, the princess is his concubine.

Prince Beili got what he wanted, he laughed loudly, put his right hand on his shoulder, saluted His Majesty first, then turned around and raised his arms and shouted a few times.His other entourage also cheered and jumped, and the scene was temporarily driven to an extremely lively scene.
