Cultivate the ruthless way for him

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Yuan still did not come back.

Yun Zhu came in and said, "Your Highness, all the disciples who are waiting for selection are already waiting outside the hall."

This is a major event for the Dragon Clan. Dragon Lord Qingyao, Dragon Prince Huaibi and Dragon Princess Xueji are all here.

Because the red dragon and golden dragon had set a precedent, Xue Ji and Qing Yao simply expanded the scope after discussing, and asked other branches to send all the disciples of the right age to participate in the selection.

Each branch has its own territory.Among the dragon disciples, not many have really seen Zhao Zhao.

Because when Zhaozhao walked out of the hall in a bright yellow brocade robe with eyes covered in white silk, everyone's breathing stopped for a moment.

Zhong Ling Yuxiu, like pearls and jade, but that's all.

Originally thought that His Highness Huaibi's appearance and appearance were exquisite enough, but this little Highness has more aura.

The disciples' eyes were full of astonishment.

The already restless crowd became even more restless.

Zhaozhao sat down on the porch, the arc of his eyes was as cold as the domineering sword intent emanating from his body.

The disciples in the front row all showed surprise.

"Your Highness is only a thousand years old, and the power of the inner palace's immortal essence is so powerful."

"I have only seen such a terrifying sword intent on one person..."

The disciples immediately stood in awe, not daring to show any signs of playfulness, and stood upright.

Sitting next to Zhaozhao, Huai Bi said softly, "Your eyesight is inconvenient, so you can choose a few more methods and choose slowly. Or, let them come forward one by one and interrogate them one by one."

Zhao Zhao said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Huai Bi was surprised: "Ah Yuan has already figured out the assessment method?"

Zhao Zhao nodded.

Facing everyone, he said, "My assessment method is very simple."

"It's limited to half a day, and each person weaves a grasshopper cage."

"Grasshopper, Grasshopper Cage?"

The disciples were all taken aback.

What kind of assessment method is this.They thought that this little Highness might be able to test immortality, talisman, swordsmanship, alchemy and medicine, and even piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Well, this little His Royal Highness didn't test martial arts or literature, but handicrafts.

Huai Bi, Xue Ji, and Qing Yao were also a little surprised.

But seeing Zhaozhao's serious expression, he didn't seem to be joking casually, he suppressed his doubts and didn't speak.

Huai Bi just asked someone to call Yun Zhu to her side, and whispered a few words, does this grasshopper cage have any special meaning.

As a personal attendant, Yun Zhu was also at a loss.

"I've never seen His Royal Highness play this on weekdays."

Yunzhu said honestly.

Yunzhu is also strange, isn't the grasshopper cage just a little thing for children to play with?

Why does His Highness take this test.

Huai Bi nodded and let Yun Zhu back down.

Thoughtful.

Next, some disciples couldn't help asking: "Is this the only test? Dare to ask your highness, is there any other way of assessment?"

Zhao Zhao said: "Only this."

This—is simply unbelievable.

All the disciples said in unison in their hearts.

Although it is not difficult to weave grasshopper cages, who didn’t have a lot of grasshopper cages of their own in childhood, and who didn’t go to the mountains with their peers to catch grasshoppers and fight grasshoppers? I was taught by my parents because I got muddy all over my body by catching grasshoppers and neglected my studies.Even in the East China Sea, this is also an indispensable recreational activity in the childhood of the dragon disciples.

"But based on this alone, how do you judge whether you are high or low?"

Zhao Zhao said: "I have my own basis in my heart. If anyone can weave the most exquisite and beautiful grasshopper cage in the world, I will choose him directly, without considering other things."

Everyone jumped up again.

After all, compared with other civil and military projects that consume physical or mental energy, weaving a grasshopper cage is much easier in terms of operability and presentation.

Isn't it the most exquisite and beautiful, they work hard to choose materials and show off techniques.

After Zhao Zhao announced the rules, he said goodbye to his parents and elder brother, and went back to the hall to rest.

Xue Ji and Qing Yao were only here to support the youngest son, but they were relieved to see that they were confident.

Just like other disciples, he was a little puzzled by this assessment method.

Huai Bi said: "Ah Yuan would not choose such an assessment method for no reason. My son thinks that the grasshopper cage must have been the most important thing in his life."

Xue Ji Qingyao froze for a moment, but remained silent.

Because they did not accompany the youngest son to grow up, and they did not even participate in his life.

They couldn't guess at all, what kind of stunning performance this little grasshopper cage played in Zhao Zhao's life.

But there is no doubt that it must be related to childhood.

Xue Ji looked at the swing frame outside the hall that was swaying gently in the wind, feeling extremely sad and sad.

Seeing this, Qingyao didn't understand the pain in his wife's heart, and said: "The past can't be chased, and the coming one can especially make up for it."

Xue Ji wept silently.

She just wants to know how her A Yuan is doing and how much suffering she has suffered in a place she can't see.

She wanted to know what he ate three meals a day and what clothes he wore throughout the year.

Unfortunately, even this simplest wish can never be realized.

Zhao Zhao's mentality was stable, and he even fell asleep after returning to the palace, only waking up in the evening.

The disciples of the Dragon Clan who had been busy all afternoon also handed over the woven grasshopper cages one after another.

Yunzhu introduced the past to Zhao Zhao one by one, and let Zhao Zhao touch it.

"This is a jade cage made of high-quality Kunshan jade. The material is second to none. The most important thing is that it is carved from a whole piece of jade, without any flaws. There are also very precious and beautiful dragon blood stones embedded outside the cage."

"This is even more serious. It seems to be made of Longquan jade, which is much more precious than jade. I heard that if spiritual power is injected into it, when gold and jade collide, the jade cage will automatically emit a beautiful tune."

"And this one is made of pure gold with a very unique shape. The cage body is composed of four golden dragons connected end to end. The golden dragon still holds a dragon ball in its mouth..."

Zhaozhao touched them one by one, and suddenly asked, "Isn't there any bamboo weaving?"

"Bamboo chips?"

Yun Zhu inspected all the cages, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Your Highness said that he wants the most exquisite and beautiful grasshopper cages in the world, these disciples naturally put all their energy into using the most expensive materials, but there are really none. Made with bamboo slices."

"what is this?"

Zhao Zhao touched a question with a slightly slippery surface.

"Oh, it looks like a dragon scale."

"This disciple is really hardworking. He pulled out four scales and made a cage for His Highness to please His Highness."

Zhao Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something and frowned.

"Go and call the person who made this cage."

All the children were still anxiously waiting for the results in the courtyard, when they suddenly saw Yunzhu come out and named someone's name, they immediately showed envious and jealous eyes.

The disciple who was selected was from the Qinglong clan, named Chongyang, when he heard Yunzhu's summons, he immediately stepped forward with a proud face, without concealing his pride.

Chongyang entered the east side hall and saluted respectfully.

Sitting in the chair, Zhao Zhao was playing with the cage made of four blue scales with both hands, and asked, "You made this?"

Chongyang said: "Exactly."

"It must be very painful to pull out the scales."

Zhao Zhao said in a low voice.

Chongyang replied forcefully: "As long as it can please His Royal Highness, let alone pulling out a few scales, even if I cut off the tail, that is also willing."

"Of course you won't feel any pain."

Zhaozhao's fingers lightly wiped a little bit of stickiness on the cage's body.

"Because this is not your scale."

Zhaozhao's voice is like a whisper.

It fell into Chongyang's ears, but it was no different from thunder.

Chong Yang was taken aback.

Concealing the flickering panic in his eyes.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

Zhaozhao didn't look at him, and said, "The person whose scales have been pulled out will be so painful that he can't even walk within three days. How did you manage to be so radiant, move freely, and have such a loud voice?"

"I……"

Chong Yang was speechless.

Zhaozhao raised his head and said, "Turn back into a dragon body, let me see."

Although the boy's eyes were wrapped in white silk, this sentence still sent a chill down Chongyang's spine.

Chongyang's eyes turned sharply, knowing that there was no way he could escape this time, his knees softened, and he knelt down normally.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, I am also in a hurry..."

Zhao Zhao interrupted him and asked directly, "Where did the scales come from?"

Chongyang answered honestly: "One, one on the water demon."

Zhao Zhao cupped the fingers of the grasshopper cage, and tightened them gently.

After a while, he said: "Just now you said, let alone pulling out a few scales, it's okay to cut off a tail. If that's the case, let's cut off the tail."

Chongyang's color changed tragically.

When the guards outside heard the news, they immediately came in and dragged him down.

There were screams from the corridor.

Seeing this, the outside disciples didn't know why, but on weekdays, relying on his noble status, Chongyang often bullied other branch disciples, and everyone secretly cheered.

In the hall, Zhaozhao put down the grasshopper cage in his hand, and told Yunzhu: "Go and find out which water monster he killed, and send someone to bring some medicine there."

"Yes, then my little Highness, do you want to choose another cage?"

Zhaozhao remained silent for a while, his eyes "looking" outside the hall.

Although there is only a dim light and shadow there.

Yun Zhu took the initiative and said: "It's past Shen Shi, and it's going to be night soon."

Zhao Zhao still didn't speak.

At this time, the guard suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, Lord Lian Hua of the Celestial Clan is here."

Lian Huajun came here carrying a grasshopper cage.

"It's the first time I made it, and the craftsmanship is not good. Ah Yuan touched it, but do you still like it?"

The grasshopper cage made by Lian Huajun is indeed not exquisite, but it is bold in materials and exquisite in design. It consists of three small golden cages to form a large cage. Each layer of the cage is a mustard space, which can be used To make a storage pouch.

"There are, of course, many other curiosities in my collection."

Lian Huajun introduced them one by one.

Zhaozhao played with the golden cage, followed his instructions to move those organs one by one, and finally, he slowly bent his lips and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."

"Just this one."

The marriage between the Dragon Clan and the Celestial Clan is settled like this.

The wedding is scheduled for two months.

Lian Huajun has become a frequent visitor to the Dragon Palace, coming from Jiuchongtian every now and then to bring Zhaozhao all kinds of novel and interesting spirit treasures.

All kinds of treasures almost filled the east hall.

During the period, Lian Huajun also took Zhaozhao to Penglai Xianyu to see the new palace being built by the craftsmen of the fairy clan for the big wedding.

Nine layers of fairy gates, reaching directly to the sky.

Zhaozhao picked up many beautiful shells at the seaside, put them one by one into the spirit bag, and returned to the Dragon Palace. Together with Yunzhu, they washed these shells, dried them, threaded them on, and hung them on the eaves.

When nothing happened, Zhao Zhao sat on the porch, listening to the sound of shells crashing.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

On this day, Si Nan came from Qilin Palace to visit Zhao Zhao.

Just like when he was a child, Zhaozhao cooks for himself and makes broth for Sinan. While the two of them are eating, Sinan suddenly asks, "Hasn't Your Majesty been here recently?"

Zhao Zhao paused, and then said calmly, "What are you talking about him for?"

Si Nandao: "Because the Sanskrit Immortal Officials are also looking for Junshang everywhere recently, I thought that Junshang is here with you."

Zhao Zhao frowned.

Pretending not to care and asking: "Is he not in Xuexiao Palace?"

"No."

Simon was also very puzzled.

"Ever since he came back from Zhongzhou, Your Majesty has not been back to Xuexiao Palace."

"By the way, after His Royal Highness Mo Yu went to chase Liu Fuying, there has been no news."

Zhao Zhao couldn't eat the meal anymore.

I thought to myself, could it be that the cheap master left him here again to protect Mo Yu, and ignored him.

He is not rare yet.

Zhao Zhao thought.

Let Yunzhu serve another bowl of soup for Sinan, and said, "Brother, eat quickly."
