The third princess was still wondering whether Tao Rui would guess the meaning when he saw the reward. But she didn't know that the conversation between her and the emperor had been relayed to Tao Rui by the fleeting years.
Tao Rui was sitting in the tent drinking water, and Qing Song was busy making the bed and cleaning for him. After knowing the thoughts of the three princesses and the emperor, he touched his chin and began to meditate.
For those who have been emperors, the thinking mode is easy to understand. He didn't think about rebelling against a Mingjun. It would be beneficial to him without any harm, and it wouldn't hurt to follow their will.
In fact, it didn't take long for him to cross over, and a lot of things had happened around him, and the situation changed faster than he had imagined.
This is all because he ignored the wisdom of the emperor.
He had never seen the emperor before, and only learned from the memory of the original owner that the emperor was Mingjun, but he did not expect that the emperor was so clever and keen, had a good view of right and wrong, and had a good heart, and he took action to promote changes in things.
Another thing he didn't expect was that he participated in the competition only to reverse the reputation of the straw bag and to reverse the disadvantage of people's hearts. The third princess unexpectedly took heart, and even told the emperor, otherwise his matter might not attract the emperor's attention from beginning to end, and at most ask a few words when he revoked the title of the son of the world.
Anyway, when things got to this point, the advantages to him outweighed the disadvantages, and the emperor's attitude was also appreciated, so it didn't matter. As for the third princess paying attention to him, the third princess was born by the first queen. There is no brother or sister of the same mother. The original master's battle to seize the daughter has nothing to do with her. She is a safety figure, so don't worry.
After Tao Rui obeyed all these things, he lay down on the bed and asked Qingsong to guard the door, saying that he wanted to rest.
He has innovated a new set of cultivation methods in the past two days, and he can practice while lying down. It looks like he is sleeping, which is convenient and safe. The first world he traveled through was the world of highly difficult cultivation. He really didn't expect that the cultivation techniques he learned at that time would still be used after so long. This was really not a waste of learning, and it helped him too much.
The result of practicing during this period of time is that he has already entered the first level of Qi training. In the realm of cultivation, he is the most basic, low-level, and will not be taken seriously. But in this ordinary world, his skill It is definitely much higher than the Ouchi master.
Fortunately, Tao Qian's father started his career with military merit, and the original master also learned martial arts. He rarely loses in fights. It is no surprise that he has become better now. If it was originally a weak physique, suddenly becoming stronger would be difficult to explain.
When the bonfire dinner started in the evening, the emperor announced the decision to set up the arena and the prize. Everyone was amazed, and they all felt that the arena competition and the reward of the guards were strange, just as strange as the emperor was coming to hunt suddenly. What do you reward the guards for? Do the children of the most powerful family need to be monitored?
The ministers were speculating about the emperor's mind all day, eating food and drinking wine at the dinner, everyone was talking cheerfully, and they were also thinking about the emperor's intentions.
Some people thought it was complicated, and they felt that the emperor had to test the school's descendants, select the outstanding ones, and entrust them with important tasks.
Some people are purely worried that their son will be too useless, and then they will be embarrassed in the ring to make the emperor displeased and hurt the family.
Others saw the three princesses and the fourth princess sitting under the emperor, and thought that these two were sixteen or fourteen, they should all look at the age of the horse, and they suddenly realized. Could it be that the emperor's move was to choose a horse for the princess? The guards are rewarded for a close investigation of whether the winner is worthy of being a concierge?
Brother Young Master is also guessing here, they are all sitting together, a little far away from the emperor and ministers, they speak a little louder, and they can't hear him over there, so the discussion begins.
"Why do you suddenly compete in martial arts? Didn't you say it before you came? I knew I... Well, I don't like martial arts!"
"I don't know what the examination school means. Should I perform better or worse? You won't choose the guards, right?"
"Why do you want to reward the emperor's guards? What is it for? Is it to bring out the prestige? That's pretty prestigious, but you can't do things casually in the future, otherwise the emperor will be unhappy when he knows it, 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. Only those people should be considered."
Everyone laughed, and the few mentioned were the sons of the general, the sons of the prime minister, the sons of the princes, and so on. They are very good on weekdays. Because of their outstanding martial arts, they don't like to hang out with everyone, and they don't like the unlearned dude of the original owner. Therefore, the original owner sees few, and Tao Rui naturally doesn't understand it.
The few people were sitting together, discussing and thinking, but their voices were very low, and others didn't know their thoughts.
Huang Shizi, who was sad for Tao Rui, drank a few glasses of wine and became a little drunk. The more he looked at Tao Rui, the more unpleasant he became, and he started to target him again.
"Tao Shizi, Xuan Jin... Hou Shizi, what do you think? There are a lot of gold and silver jewelry for the first name, as well as various furs that you can't buy. You must be tempted to win, right? After all... You will be the son of a farmer from now on, and you won't see these good things hahaha."
The son of the general heard this. He dismissed Huang Shizi, but he looked at Tao Rui and asked: "You are Tao Shizi who has shot two birds with one arrow a while ago? I like archery the most. How about we find a chance to try it tomorrow?"
Tao Rui said: "Tomorrow, the emperor has arranged two competitions. It is not easy to be distracted. Let's save our private competitions for later."
Huang Shizi patted the table with a smile and said, "Tao Rui, are you persuading this to be? I said that your blind cat has a dead mouse, how could it be so powerful? In the future, you will be a little talented person. Who is worthy of comparison? Haha!"
Tao Rui didn't even lift his eyelids. He took the food to himself and reminded him, "Convergence. If you offend the emperor, you will peel off if you die."
This is the dinner that the emperor watched. Isn't it just to die if you dare to drink too much? Not even the slightest ridiculous behavior. Huang Shizi subconsciously looked at the emperor's side, but met his father's eyes, and instantly woke up from alcohol, sitting upright and changing his face. A few young men around him sneered.
Huang Shizi snorted coldly: "What are you laughing at? Don't say you don't think that way. Tao Rui is not the same person as us, and winning is important to him. Isn't his five-game winning streak just for winning?"
"Speaking of it, Tao Shizi told us how you won those hundred thousand taels? Is the money of the gambling house so good to win?"
"I deliberately tried it once and lost fifty taels. I couldn't figure it out from start to finish. Could you please tell Tao Shizi how to do it?"
Tao Rui picked up the wine glass and said, "Good luck. Let me gamble again, I may not be able to win." After such a phrase, he said, "The prize given by the emperor is really attractive. I will go all out for this competition. Not for those gold and silver jewelry. I was thinking..."
He looked at Huang Shizi, and the corner of his mouth, "If the emperor can give a guard to him, he can teach him a lesson when he encounters a barking person in the future. The emperor's guard teaches others, who dares to stop?"
Tao Rui understood the role of the "amulet", and there was silence around him. First, they didn't think so, and they didn't dare to actually call the guard, secondly, they were surprised that Tao Rui really dared to speak up and win the championship.
Huang Shizi immediately sneered and said, "Tao Rui, you have a dream before it's time to rest? I think the incompetent barking person is you. No one cares about your identity before. From now on, huh."
Several princes looked at Tao Rui with the same eyes as Huang Shizi, and they waited for the emperor to remove Tao Rui's title, so they could count their past grudges with Tao Rui.
Tao Rui raised his glass and drank it, smiling at them without fear. 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 they be so confident?
For the next day's competition, the dinner did not last long. The emperor left the table first, and then everyone went back to rest one after another. Maybe a lot of people were guessing the emperor's thoughts. They didn't eat well and didn't drink well. Tao Rui didn't disappoint the cook at all. No matter what other people were doing, they just had a good time.
It has to be said that some of these dishes made in the wild are really unique and you can't eat them at all.
When he went back, Qi Lang still worried about him, "Why don't you worry at all? I think that the few people from Huang Shizi are not kind to you. I saw you many times at the dinner, I am afraid the hunting tomorrow will be uneasy."
Tao Rui patted him on the shoulder, "Mingxian, you think too much, even if they make trouble for me, they will have to go back. In the paddock, how can they have the courage? The emperor's anger is not something they can bear. They just can't help but play tricks."
"Even if they go back and trouble you again, it will be annoying enough."
"So I will try to win the emperor's guards, and give them the courage when that happens, and they won't dare to trouble me."
Tao Rui said these words quite casually, Qi Lang knelt when he heard it, "Really, you, do you not have a fever? I know you are very good, archery skills are good, but there will still be those who compare with you tomorrow. A few martial artists."
Speaking, Qi Lang waved his hand again, "Hey, how did I say this? It's just a stubborn ambition to defeat your own prestige. You have a good rest, don't think too much, and we will hunt together tomorrow."
Tao Rui knew that it was useless to say anything to him. No one would believe that he could win until his strength was revealed. Probably only the emperor and the three princesses believed him. Thinking about this situation, Tao Rui wanted to laugh, he didn't say anything at all, and asked Qi Lang to take a good rest and lie down to practice.
After one night, everyone put on riding clothes and was ready to set off.
The emperor rode on a horse, pointed to a copper coin hanging on a large tree in the distance, and said with a smile: "I won't open my bow this time. Who wants to be the first to open a bow and shoot an arrow? I shoot the copper coin and start hunting."
Everyone looked at each other, nothing else, it is really that the copper coin is too small and far away! And it was hung on a tree branch with a long thread, and the copper coin was swaying with a little wind. Who could shoot it?
Even if the son of the general felt that his archery skills were far superior to others, he did not dare to stand out at this moment.
The emperor shouldn't be embarrassed in any scene, and Tao Rui led the horse out of the queue after just a few seconds of silence.
"The emperor, the young man likes to study archery, maybe you can give it a try."
The emperor smiled and said, "Then you can try it. Let you send this first arrow today."
"Yes." Tao Rui replied. Qi Lang couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. He watched him turn on his horse and drew his bow neatly.
His face was terribly calm, but everyone present squeezed sweat for him. The coin that is shaking from such a long distance? What are you thinking about? Do you want to please the emperor? !
