royal robes

Chapter 822

Sun Fangzheng had nothing to do with Zongxin, really nothing to do.An enemy with strong martial arts and a good mind is too scary, there is really nothing to do with him.It would be great if His Majesty would cut off a finger to end this grievance.

But...that person Meng Chang may not be willing to do this.Unless Zong Xin puts a sword on his neck, it will be extremely difficult for him to cut off his fingers. He would rather be frightened for the rest of his life than suffer any harm to himself, because in his heart, he is the emperor and everyone else is an ant.

Sun Fangzheng said: "Master Zong Xin, it's actually meaningless to do so. Why don't you come up with something practical, for example, asking His Majesty to offer 50 taels of silver as an apology, which is much more useful than a single finger."

"I'm not short of money."

Zong Xin's words are very confident. Sun Fangzheng also knows that Zong Xin is not short of money, and wants to use money to bribe the richest person today?This was impossible in the first place, and Sun Fangzheng was just trying it out, maybe it would be successful.Since money is not enough, the only way to bribe him is to use other things.

Sun Fangzheng said: "Our family also knows that Master Zongxin is rich in the world. Since Master Zongxin is not interested in money, there is one thing in our family that Master Zongxin might be interested in."

"tell me the story."

"In the treasure house of the palace, there is such a treasure called the Qiankun Bag. It looks like an ordinary broken bag, but this bag is tied with a very strange knot. No one can untie it. But the mouth of the bag is But you can put one hand in it, you can put something in it, and you can take it out. Your Majesty once tried to put a hundred thousand catties of rice into it. You can lift it up. Pour the bag out. One hundred thousand catties of rice is quite a lot. Don’t you know that Master Zongxin is interested in such treasures?"

Zong Xin curled his lips and said, "I already have one... You should also know that my precious gourd can hold the water of a river, right?"

"Of course, but all the things in it have turned into wine, right? It's a pity. Apart from being ugly, the effect of this bag should be no worse than your precious gourd." Sun Fangzheng didn't want to reveal this treasure at first. , but now there is no way, because he is not sure whether Meng Chang dares to cut off one of his fingers and ask Zong Xin for peace.

Zong Xin nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, I don't want to do anything to Meng Chang. You can discuss whether to hand over the Qiankun bag or Meng Chang's finger. I only want one of the two things."

"Thank you Master Zong Xin, our family will leave."

Sun Fangzheng turned around and left, because this was almost the best news he had heard in recent years.He didn't need to doubt Zong Xin's words at all, because Zong Xin could sneak into the palace of Shu Kingdom secretly, kill Meng Chang and leave directly.If he feels that one person is not enough, he can bring these wives with strong martial arts skills plus Lei Hong and Lei Tianxiao. Although Lei Hong still has not announced Zong Xin's identity, anyone with a discerning eye can already tell that Zong Xin is Lei Hong. Lei Tianyong, the third son.

In today's world, with the support of Prince Lei's Mansion, Zong Xin can walk sideways even if he is a fool without martial arts.What's more, he also has strong martial arts and extraordinary resourcefulness. The small country of Shu can't afford to offend such a big man. He is far more troublesome than Lei Hong.

There has been no war in the territory of Shu for many years, and its military strength was originally small.The two expeditions in the past few years have all ended in loss and failure. Today's Shu Kingdom has no combat power at all, and Sun Fangzheng knows this better than anyone else.The last straw, Wu Yanhong Yu, also died, and he died in the hands of Zong Xin... If the Kingdom of Shu continues like this, sooner or later, it will be annexed by the Great Zhou.

Although Sun Fangzheng had expected this, there was really nothing he could do. Meng Chang was afraid that Zong Xin would die, and he didn't even dare to leave the gate of the palace, so he had to guard it every day.What else can such an emperor do?However, Meng Chang didn't know how powerful Zong Xin was, that's why he was so daring that he took away Zong Xin's fiancée and sent Wu Yanhong Yu to rob and kill him along the way.

This is also Wu Yanhong Yu's fault, one blow is enough to kill him, the whole body must be separated, and every inch of his body will be broken.Although this is no different from death, Zong Xin can turn salty fish over like this. This is also Zong Xin's good fortune. Wu Yanhongyu is destined not to kill him.

But now it's fine. As long as one of the two things is handed over to him, the grudge between Zong Xin and Meng Chang will be settled.In this way, His Majesty does not have to worry about Zong Xin's assassination, and he can safely and boldly develop his military power.Today, the economy of Shu is developing very well, but it is useless no matter how much money you have. As long as someone breaks through the city gate of Shu, the money in the treasury will not belong to others by then?

As a big country, even if it does not have the ambition to invade other countries, it must at least have the ability to protect itself.This is Meng Chang's only chance to stand up.As long as the grievances between the two are settled, if His Majesty works hard to strengthen his military strength, he may still have time to defend the foundation of the Shu Kingdom. After all, the Shu Kingdom has a natural Shu road as an obstacle, and it is not easy to attack the Shu Kingdom.

Sun Fangzheng immediately returned to the palace of Shu Kingdom. At this time, Meng Chang was lying on the bed, drinking bowl after bowl, with only Mrs. Huarui by his side.Because Sun Fang was leaving, Meng Chang was so worried that he couldn't sit still and could only use alcohol to numb himself.

Seeing Sun Fangzheng coming back, Meng Chang immediately sat up.Because the result of the summation this time directly affects his life and the future of the Shu Kingdom, I don't know what conditions Zong Xin will offer.He was an emperor anyway, if he took the initiative to ask him for peace, he would at most make an exorbitant condition, and he would never lose face.

"Director Sun, you are back. How is it? Has Zong Xin agreed to reconcile? What are the conditions?"

Mrs. Huarui also stared at Sun Fangzheng, she also wanted to know Zong Xin's attitude.Now that Wu Yan and Hong Yu are dead, and Zong Xin has also come to the Kingdom of Shu, he should be the one to pick him up.Zong Xin's condition must be himself, and he must take himself away.

Sun Fangzheng nodded and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Master Zong Xin also agreed to reconcile. But he made a condition..."

"I know there are conditions. What are the conditions?" Meng Chang glanced at the stamens reluctantly. Although he was very reluctant, if Zong Xin's offer was to take the stamens away, it was impossible for him not to agree.After all, it was his fault in the first place.

Sun Fangzheng said: "He wants a finger from Your Majesty, and from now on, Your Majesty can't play dirty tricks behind his back, otherwise he will rush directly into the palace and take your Majesty's life."

"What an arrogant monk." Sun Fangzheng said angrily: "Not only does he want a finger from me, he also dares to threaten me? Is Zong Xin really that powerful?"

Sun Fangzheng said in embarrassment: "Return to Your Majesty, Zong Xin's skill is already higher than that of slaves, and Your Majesty should be very clear that Zong Xin is Lei Hong's third son, Lei Tianyong. Even if Zong Xin enters the palace alone to take His Majesty's life It's not difficult, even if the slaves try their best to protect the master, there is no way to stop Zong Xin from doing anything. What's more, if Zong Xin just says a word, Lei Hong will come."

Meng Chang sat down on the edge of the bed, this condition was beyond his expectation.Originally, he thought that the matter of Zong Xin taking away the pistil would be over, but he didn't expect that he would also have a finger of his own. This request is simply too much.How can the king of a country, the emperor of the real dragon, lose a finger?The one with five claws is the golden dragon, and the one with four claws is not a dragon at all, but a python.

Meng Chang stretched out his hand to take a look, and then said, "Director Sun, do you know why the dragon on the dragon robe has five claws?"

"Your Majesty, because five claws are a dragon, four claws are a python, and three claws are a dragon." Sun Fangzheng has been like this for a long time. Meng Chang is absolutely reluctant to cut off one of his fingers, not only because of the pain, but also as an emperor. dignity.

"Zong Xin asked me to cut off my finger, which is to force me to change from a dragon to a python. This is absolutely impossible. Meng Chang can die, but the country of Shu cannot perish." Meng Chang gritted his teeth and said, "If I cut off my finger to seek peace, The fortunes of the Kingdom of Shu are bound to be severely damaged, and with the help of half a dragon vein, they have developed very well, and we must not give up all of this at this time."

In fact, Sun Fangzheng couldn't tell whether the reason why Meng Chang didn't want to cut off his fingers and sue for peace was because he was afraid of pain and shame, or because he really cared about the fate of Shu.However, Meng Chang's theory is indeed true. If the king of a country is a python instead of a dragon, it will indeed have an impact on the destiny of the country.This kind of thing is better to be believed than not to be believed. After all, people like Zong Xin can even use spells, so the conditions he offered must be harsh. Perhaps it is because he wants to destroy the national destiny of Shu that he proposes such a thing as a finger. It's conditional.

Sun Fangzheng said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I also think that this is inappropriate, so I put forward another condition, and Master Zong Xin also agreed."

"What conditions?"

"Cosmos bag."

Meng Chang took a breath when he heard about the Qiankun Bag. This is such a treasure.But think about it, except for the Qiankun Bag, there is nothing in the entire Shu Kingdom that can impress Zong Xin.

In fact, Meng Chang originally wanted to keep the Qiankun bag because it was really useful.If Meng Chang is attacked by someone, then he will put all the gold and silver treasures into the Qiankun bag, and then run away with the Qiankun bag.With the gold and silver treasures in the national treasury, I can spend the rest of my life in style. If I only hold it with my hands, how much can I put?
Seeing that Meng Chang was still thinking about it, Sun Fangzheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the Qiankun Bag is a good treasure, our family thinks it is useless at all. If the Kingdom of Shu is breached, those who conquer the Kingdom of Shu will never let Your Majesty go. Well, with your majesty's martial arts, it is estimated that you can't escape. What's the use of a bag full of gold, silver and jewels? If Zong Xin's matter can't be settled, I'm afraid your majesty won't be able to wait until the kingdom of Shu is broken. He could kill you at any time, but wouldn't the Qiankun bag be snatched away by him?"

"That's true..." Meng Chang said depressedly: "Are you sure Zong Xin will let me go after he asks for the Qiankun bag? Can the previous grievances really be erased?"

"Our family can be sure, but we cannot guarantee it. With Zong Xin's martial arts and power, he will definitely keep his promise. Zong Xin will not lower his credibility just for something he can do. Secondly, even if he rebels We have nothing to do with him. Now we have to find a way to settle this grievance, no matter what conditions Zong Xin asks, there is no other way but to promise."
