Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The shopkeeper of Ruyi Teahouse is a thin middle-aged man with triangular eyes and slightly sloping legs. It is said that he was Mr. Yu's staff member at that time, who saved his life and stayed with him for most of his life.

Seeing Li Xu coming with the little princess, the shopkeeper rushed up to greet him, "Caomin greets Your Highness, I have reserved the best box on the second floor for you, please come with me."

"Is Mr. Yu here?" Li Xu really wanted to meet this old gentleman, to see if he was a stubborn old man as the little princess said.

"If you go back to the prince, the master has already arrived. In another quarter of an hour, the competition will start. The old man asked, who will be on stage first?"

"Draw lots." Li Xu glanced at the little princess, and led them straight up to the second floor.

The people in the lobby on the first floor were going crazy, "I never expected that the prince not only invited the little princess to come, but also came to cheer on him. He really dotes on his daughter."

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid that the little princess will cry if she loses, but then again, since the prince came in person, would Mr. Yu still dare to win?"

"It's a joke, who is the prince, how can he be so petty? It is said that some time ago, Commander Mu had a competition with General Kou. He lost, and the prince even gave him a generous gift."

"What's the matter, of course you can be magnanimous towards the loser, but if you lose, you may not have such a magnanimity." The person who said this was a scholar from other places, not young but not big-hearted.

Li Xu's reputation in the capital is still very good, and the people around him immediately retorted when they heard him say this: "You are treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, King Shun is definitely not such a person."

"That's right, I've met King Shun. He has no airs at all. He is approachable and amiable. He is definitely not a stingy person."

While talking, the shopkeeper walked up to the podium and slapped the gavel heavily, "Quiet! Be quiet everyone!... Presumably all the distinguished guests know that today is the day for Mr. Yu and Princess Shuning to compete in storytelling. Because time is limited, we limit Each person should not exceed one hour, and those who have not finished talking after one hour will be considered as losers. In addition, today's winners and losers will be decided by votes of all the guests present. , please keep it safe.”

The crowd didn't expect them to decide the winner, and immediately cheered up, "That's it. Whether the book is good or not is judged by the audience, but there are many fans of Mr. Yu's book here. Will they all vote for Yu?" Mister?"

"Everyone, please be quiet. Next, I will invite Mr. Yu to come on stage. Just now, the two of them drew lots in the box to determine the order. Mr. Yu is in front, and Her Royal Highness is in the back. Okay, please keep quiet, and look forward to the wonderful stories of the two of you." .”

Mr. Yu walked onto the stage with his usual expression. He was wearing a brand-new royal blue thin jacket with a gray gown inside. He was holding a folding fan that he used to hold in his hand. The gavel was tapped lightly. The story begins.

What Mr. Yu told was a story about a great general defending his family and country. The prototype character of the story was Li Baoying, the founding general of Dayan. This is a story that almost every storyteller loves to tell.

However, Mr. Yu's story today is adapted from a real story, adding a love line, which makes the story more ups and downs and full of plots.

An hour soon arrived, and the story just ended. After all, Mr. Yu had been storytelling for more than ten years, and his grasp of the time was very accurate. After the end, the audience could not be calm for a long time, and some even continued Discussing the episode just now, I don't want to end here at all.

"I think Mr. Yu must have won. This story has a very high intention and has ups and downs. Compared with Xiaoqing Xiaoai, I don't know how many times deeper it is."

"Yeah, Mr. Yu hasn't told the story of the generals for a long time. Today's story has been added and polished, which is very touching."

"I don't know what kind of story Her Royal Highness will tell." Someone was also very curious about the next story.

"If it was written by the princess herself, then it is probably a story about children playing around."

"Or maybe it's the strange people in South Vietnam, have you heard of it? It is said that there is a hermit in South Vietnam who traveled the world with a group of students. He is not only knowledgeable, but also good at solving cases, solving many problems for several state capitals. Woolen cloth."

"It's really from South Vietnam? I've never heard of it."

"That's why you're a hermit."

Soon, Her Royal Highness, wearing a bright red jacket and a pink pleated skirt, came onto the stage. She was standing behind the podium, but she was only a little higher than the podium. The scene was so out of harmony that many people burst into laughter.

"It really is a child!" At this moment, everyone realized most intuitively that it was a little girl who was competing with Mr. Yu today.

The little princess also felt that such a height was too restrictive, so she immediately asked someone to move a chair, stepped on the chair and moistened her throat, "Ahem... Ladies and gentlemen, the story I want to tell you today is called Chibi The battle..." With the clear and melodious girl's voice, everyone was led into a world-class battle. The witty and clever Mr. Zhuge even borrowed more than [-] yuan with a few broken grass boats through the fog and wind. An arrow is simply predictable.

When it came to the spectacular scene of burning Chibi, everyone held their breath, fearing that they would miss a single word. Even Mr. Yu stretched out his ears, blushing and excited, and shouted hello to everyone from time to time.

Li Xu leaned on the railing on the second floor, touched Kou Xiao beside him: "How about this story?"

Kou Xiao nodded again and again: "Okay! Very good! Soldiers never tire of cheating, using the direction of the wind to attack with fire is indeed a very good strategy, and the part where the straw boat borrowed arrows was also very clever. This general also wants such a witty and intelligent military advisor."

"The next time I see Junshi Jiang, I must tell him this." Li Xu joked.

Kou Xiao is not afraid of Jiang Qiuming, but he hasn't seen him for a long time, and I don't know if he has made any progress. "Where have they gone? Now that we are temporarily living in the capital, we can let them come to the capital for a walk."

"In Chen County, and this time it is really famous, and I don't know how long it will take to get to the capital, and there are too many high-level people in the capital, so it is not suitable for them to come." This team was originally assembled temporarily, and the level How they know themselves.

"It's an hour." Kou Xiao reminded suddenly.

"Yeah." Li Xu also realized this. It was already past noon, and everyone was not hungry while drinking tea and snacks while listening to the story, but it was inevitable that they would be tired after sitting for a long time, but the stories on stage were so exciting, they I can't bear to leave.

In the end, it took the little princess an extra quarter of an hour to finish the story. She jumped off the chair, saluted everyone, and said without timidity: "It's overtime, I lost."

Only then did everyone come to their senses one after another, the applause was like thunder, and the applause was louder than before, which shows that everyone recognized this story very much.

At this time, Mr. Yu walked up to the stage and made a bow to the little princess, "Your Highness has won, it is your first time on stage, it is very rare to be able to tell the story so coherently and vividly, not to mention that this story is so wonderful, I feel ashamed , no more votes."

Indeed, both stories are very good, but everyone is tired of hearing the story of General Li. Although new plots have been added and the lingering love has been added, none of the new stories are so attractive.

Moreover, among the characters portrayed by the little princess, whether it is Zhuge's military strategist who knows things like a god, or Zhou Yu, who is wise, brave, and handsome, even Cao Cao, who is sinister, cunning, and suspicious by nature, is very admirable. Everyone seems to be able to see the troubled times in front of them. In the film, the fierceness and fury of the heroes from all sides vying for the throne in the world, I really want to know what will happen next.

At this time, Mr. Yu asked what everyone was thinking, "May I ask Your Highness, is there any other continuous story about the Battle of Chibi? From what you said, the old man seems to have only intercepted the middle part, and the cause and effect are not complete enough."

"Yes, this story is an excerpt from a great book called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but this princess has only read part of it and cannot retell the whole book. If Mr. Yu is interested, this princess can write the part I remember for you. "

"That's really great. I don't know who wrote this masterpiece? Where is it stored?" In this era, many books are not widely distributed, and many orphan copies are privately hidden by the royal family or big families. Can't see it at all.

"I don't know about these princesses, and I heard my father mention them by accident. Please don't get to the bottom of it."

Everyone understood that this story was either written by His Royal Highness King Shun, or it was hidden in the royal family so that outsiders could not see it. It is already very generous for the little princess to agree to write part of it for Mr. Yu.

"Thank you, Her Royal Highness."

The audience at the bottom couldn't get enough of it, and they wanted the little princess to tell the next story. This kind of half-heard story was the most annoying, and it didn't feel good to eat at home, and it wasn't easy to sleep.

Hey……

After the story was finished, the little princess returned to the box. As soon as the door was closed, she let out a heavy breath, then threw herself into Li Xu's arms, and asked happily, "Father, how is my performance today?"

"Very good! Shu'er has grown up!" Li Xu is really proud of her daughter. After all, she has never been trained systematically, nor has she had such an experience. She can finish the story calmly on stage for the first time, not only It requires a good memory without stage fright, and the speech must be full of emotion, which is very difficult.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"No, Mr. Yu said that I won, so today's profit from the teahouse will be mine. I'll treat my father and Uncle Kou to a big meal, shall I?"

Li Xu and Kou Xiao were happy at the same time, "Hahaha... well, we can enjoy the filial piety of our daughter so early, whose daughter can compare to it? It seems that we don't have to worry when we get old."

The guests outside left one after another. The guests in the box on the second floor saw that King Shun hadn't come out for a long time, and the guards at the door kept their eyes on each other, and they looked calm and pretentious, scaring away many people.

Princess Qingyang is also in the box today. She originally thought that she could see the little princess make a fool of herself, but it turned out to be counterproductive. After today, everyone will praise the little princess for her talent, plus her calm and composed posture on stage, how many women are she? Unmatched.

As for the words that everyone's ladies show their heads in public, it is not a stain on the lady.

The eldest grandson of the Wei family was also at the scene, and he was also shocked. Of course, he knew that the story could not be written by the little princess herself, but the strategy of war revealed in such a story is too profound. I don't know how many generals with both wisdom and courage can be trained.

"King Shun is really unfathomable." The eldest grandson of the Wei family decided to persuade his grandfather after going back. There is nothing wrong with taking refuge in King Shun. Being able to raise such a daughter shows how talented King Shun is.
