The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 167

With a gloomy face, Ao Shi Tian Tian got through the communication.

The next moment, Ren Tian came over with an apologetic voice.

"Brother, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened to that southern country. It has formed an alliance with me again."

Ao Shitianxia clenched his fists: "Brother, it's okay, it's just a small neutral country, so what does it matter? From now on, if you and I brothers cooperate, nothing will go wrong in the world, right?"

Ren Tian's voice was a little happy; "Oh, brother is right. It seems that brother is really generous. In fact, I really felt guilty. I planned to give this ally to you. After all, you also know that I don't know much about games. I only know how to farm, and since my brothers don’t want it, let’s forget it.”

Ao Shixia's hands were so bruised, if he could, he would really like to stab Ren Tian to death with a knife.

It's so shameless and shameless, you have the nerve to say that you only know how to farm?
An ugly smile appeared on his face: "Brother, if you are willing, then give it back to me."

Ren Tian was puzzled for a while: "Brother, what did you just say, my communication is not good, I can't hear clearly."

Proud of the world: "..."

He had never seen such a shameless person in his whole life.

"It's nothing, brothers, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"Well, it's a pleasure to work together."

Did you hear this sentence clearly again?

When the communication hung up, a smile appeared on the corner of Ren Tian's mouth.

Haha, look who is playing with whom, you want to play with me in the applause, but you don’t know that you are just a little ant in my eyes.

Ren Tian walked in the palace with his hands behind his back, feeling full of energy.

Become an ally with the Southern Kingdom, and it will only be sooner or later when the Southern Kingdom is annexed, then the power of the New Kingdom will expand to Pingyuan County. In this way, there will be a nail, and it will be much easier to trade with other countries in Pingyuan County in the future. up.

He doesn't have any intention of going to Pingyuan County to fight, but he has a lot of intentions to make money from war.

It is estimated that within ten days, the annexation of the southern country will be completed, and the southern country will be included in the territory of the new country without bloodshed.

After a while, he received another message from Wang Xuan. In addition, the treasures looted in Pingyuan County were also sent to Qinglong Pass. Rentian's treasury funds , another 50 gold was added.

Today's mint has been built and expanded, and it has been put into use. It has begun to produce copper coins regularly. After a month, it has an income of 80 gold, so the current monthly tax income has reached 197 gold. On the other hand, it is only about 82 gold, which means that the income of 100 gold can be increased every month, and Xinguo can be regarded as getting rid of the hat of a poor country.

Ren Tian, ​​who was in a good mood, asked, "Little Dengzi, what fun things have you done recently?"

"Your Majesty, you forgot, today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, and tonight is the Hungry Ghost Festival. Don't you want to go shopping?"

Ren Tian slapped his head happily: "I almost forgot, let's go and go shopping. By the way, I will go to the harem first. This kind of grand event cannot leave my concubine in the cold."

The Hungry Ghost Festival meeting is, after all, a good opportunity to increase your favorability. It is also interesting to have a private visit with Weibo.

At the same time, at the gate of Xinguo North City.

A man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes was already walking under the city gate. He looked up and saw the word "Nanxian" written on the city.

On the side, many people were coming in and out, and the guards were there to maintain order.

"Hurry up. If you want to come in, line up. Don't block here and affect others."

A guard yelled.

The next moment, the guard only saw the man looking over. The sharpness in his eyes made him feel a little painful, and he even felt afraid to look at him.

The man withdrew his gaze and walked towards Nan County.

"It's here."

Beside the man, there was a guard-like figure, he asked in a low voice: "General, why do you have to come here?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know, somewhere, it seems that God sent me here."

The guard was silent for a while: "Then let's find an inn to rest for a while."

"Ah."

The two came to the inn, only to see a lot of people sitting in the inn, listening to a storyteller in front, ups and downs.

"That night, Commander Tian used a strange trick. Facing a camp with tens of thousands of enemy troops, he tied the eyes of the cattle, put them on painted coats, tied long sharp knives to their horns, and tied all the tails and body parts of the cattle to Fill it with reeds, then light the cow's tail, and guess what happened?"

Those listeners listened with rapt attention, and the storyteller was shocked again: "The cow turned into a fire cow and rushed towards the camp like crazy. What I saw was a sea of ​​fire and screams, and our new soldiers , like a divine soldier descending from heaven, directly defeated the opponent. This is also a crucial battle since the founding of our new country. As the saying goes, 'the new emperor ascends the throne and works diligently, and Tian Commander leads the fire ox to defeat the enemy.'"

"it is good!"

People around are applauding loudly.

The man was looking sideways at the storyteller, but the shopkeeper in front of him smiled and said: "Guest officer, this kind of story can only be used to coax people like you who have just come to Nanxian County. A story has been told over and over again." I've said it a hundred times, and it's not boring, and it doesn't make any sense."

"Then what's interesting?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "Of course it's the Ghost Festival tonight. This is the first time my country holds a Ghost Festival. It's very lively tonight. It is said that the government has prepared for this time for a whole day, and invited many talented people to write lantern riddles. There is a reward for guessing. If you have nothing to do tonight, guest officer, you can go out and walk around to ensure that it is worth the money. Another thing, if any girl takes a fancy to you, guest officer, your good luck will come .”

The shopkeeper laughed, with a meaning that men can understand.

The guard next to the man had a sullen face, but the man smiled and said, "Why is it my luck that the girl likes me?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "So you are a foreigner, who doesn't know the vicinity, our new country is the best, the country is stable, and the people's life is rich. If it is like other places where wars continue and people are displaced, how can we hold the Zhongyuan Festival?" Festival? Guest officer, don’t you think so? If a girl likes you, you can settle in Xinguo.”

"That's true."

"By the way, guest officer, please fill in your name."

The man took the pen and wrote his name, surnamed Bai.

Time, before you know it, it's night. Nan County is already decorated with lights and festoons. All kinds of lanterns are hung in front of the door. The edges of the buildings on both sides of the street are full of lanterns, especially in Nan County. In the middle of the square, there was even more people's voices, and the mooncake stalls were already spread out.

It's just that these mooncakes are not for sale, but are provided free of charge. The laughing children took their mother's hand and took the mooncakes. In the blink of an eye, they were attracted by the sky lanterns not far away.

A young lady from a certain family also sneaked out with her maid, watching the people coming and going on the street, she really only felt that it was so lively, and was dazzled by all kinds of scenes.

In the river, there are already many river lanterns floating, there are square river lanterns, with poems written on them, candles burning inside, round river lanterns, colorful river lanterns, flowing along the river Float down.

In addition, street clothes were burned in many places in Nan County. This is also the custom of the Ghost Festival, and street clothes were burned.

In front of a certain big tree, it is covered with lanterns and various small sachets for prayers.

"This situation and this scene are really beautiful."

Ren Tian shook his head and looked at the big tree in front of him, followed by the little eunuch and Ban Jieyu, hearing what Ren Tian said, Ban Jieyu couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.

The young masters nearby also laughed when they heard Ren Tian's statement.

"Brother, how can this scene be described as beautiful?"

Ren Tian smiled and said, "Then what should I use?"

"It should be used as 'thousands of lights, bustling and bustling'."

The young master shook his head, and Ren Tian burst into laughter. Ban Jieyu next to him also laughed.

When a young man saw Ban Jieyu, his eyes lit up and he immediately approached her: "May I ask this young lady her name?"

Ban Jieyu's face immediately turned cold: "I am already a married woman. Didn't the young master see my bun?"

In ancient times, if a woman got married, she would wear her hair up.

The boy was disappointed for a while.

Ren Tian just found it interesting: "Let's go, let's go and look elsewhere."

At the same time, the middle-aged man who had settled down in Nan County before also walked out with a smile, and his servant Ma Huang was by his side.

"Master, it's so lively."

"Yeah, it feels like I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival is really good."

"Master, there are moon cakes to eat."

The middle-aged man smiled, picked up a mooncake and bit into one. At the same time, he saw various trinkets selling beside the mooncake stall. The most conspicuous one was Lord Rabbit. Almost every child passing by had one in his hand.

The middle-aged man is also full of childishness: "I'll buy one too."

The servant Ma Huang touched his pocket and said, "Master, I don't have any money."

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and looked at the boss. He was hesitating whether to return the things or not, but he heard a voice next to him: "It's rare that you, sir, are so elegant. How can you not give it back?"

Ren Tian came over, and the little Deng Zi on the side paid the money consciously. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Huang is out to play, too?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect to meet Mr. again."

Ren Tian also smiled.

"In that case, together?"

"Together."

The two walked towards the west of Nan County again, where the biggest place for guessing lantern riddles was. As expected, they walked over and saw that the tables were set up, with various colorful lights hanging there, and there were words on them.

Many people are already guessing here, they can only watch the excitement, the most important thing is the scholars.

Especially in the front, there is a small group of people there, it is like being surrounded by stars, and several scholars are standing there.

Ren Tian, ​​the middle-aged man and others walked over, only to see that they were guessing lantern riddles.

"Mr. Tang, can you guess this lantern riddle?"

A scholar was holding a paper fan in his hand, shaking and shaking, very chic.

The young master next to him was thinking hard, and several young masters around him were also pointing.

Ren Tian only found it interesting. The young man shaking the paper fan was too pretentious.

"Looking south to the lone star, the eyebrows are rising, this lantern riddle is really good."

The middle-aged man next to him also nodded.

The young man in front seemed to have heard it, and immediately turned his head to look at Ren Tian and his party.

"Oh? From what your Excellency said, it seems that this lantern riddle is simple?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "It's just a crossword puzzle, so what's the difficulty?"

The previous Mr. Tang was shocked: "Is it easy? Why does this Mr. find it difficult?"

Master Paper Fan clapped his hand, and closed the paper fan: "Since that's the case, then you can guess it. I forgot to mention that most of these lantern riddles are made by me."

He raised his chin, as proud as a little peacock.

The middle-aged man smiled: "Why is it so difficult, isn't this just a word for 'Zhuang'."

Mr. Paper Fan was shocked, and the rest of the people were talking about it. Mr. Tang was still not satisfied, but the middle-aged man explained: "'Up north and down south, left west and right east', 'South look' refers to the word 'look' In the lower part of the word "Wang", "lonely star" refers to a point, and "Crescent Moon" refers to the moon at the beginning of the month, like a skimmer. "Left" is added to the left of the character "Wang", and "dot" is placed above the character "Wang". The combination of the three parts forms the character 'Zhuang', am I right?"

Young Master Paper Fan frowned slightly: "Your Excellency has some talent, why don't you continue to guess?"

The surrounding melon-eaters were also watching the excitement, and booed one after another: "Keep guessing, keep guessing."

Ren Tian is also very interesting: "Why don't you continue to guess?"

The middle-aged man smiled happily: "In that case, I will continue to guess."

The second lantern riddle is "Don't worry about fireworks". Ren Tian couldn't help thinking about this lantern riddle, but the middle-aged man just glanced at it and said with a smile: "This is a word of kindness. The so-called 'fireworks' Don't get close', remove the word 'fire' from the word 'smoke' to leave 'cause', put 'heart' under 'cause' and it becomes 'en'."

People around applauded for a while, Ren Tian was also shocked, Mr. Tang was even more belated, why didn't I think of it?
The paper fan boy was really a little surprised: "The third lantern riddle, the person who came was Peng Laike."

The middle-aged man smiled again: "This is also simple. The so-called Penglai is the place where gods live, which means that the person who comes is a god, and someone who comes here becomes a god. Then what is added to the word 人, you become a fairy? It's very simple. , add the word 山, so the answer to this riddle is 山.”

Sure enough, after the lantern was taken down, the answer to the mystery inside was the mountain.

People around him were excited, and on Nintendo's side, he even heard the system prompt: "Ding, at the Ghost Festival Festival, there is a famous person who performed well in the lantern riddle guessing session, and 0.3 cultural development points will be added."

Even Ban Jieyu came closer and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person knows people well and is rare. Your Majesty can invite him to serve as an official in the court."

Ren Tian nodded lightly, who is this middle-aged man?
Young Master Paper Fan said, "What about the next one?"

Ren Tian looked up, and what followed was a couplet mystery, the moon was half at the foot of Yiyun, and the remaining flowers fell in front of the horse's hoof.
