Conspiracy

Chapter 619

After half a cup of tea, the thin and weak scholar lived up to expectations and stood firmly on the Wenlei arena. He patted his chest and let out a foul breath, full of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Facing the direction of the painting boat, he bowed and bowed, and said loudly: "I hope you will give me your advice during the trip to Xiayuanzhou and Tang Dynasty."

Seeing that he was safe and sound, many literati stepped on the wooden bridge cautiously.

Huo Ji watched them step onto the ring one by one, even though the lottery hadn't been announced yet, they were already dancing with joy.

Touching his chin, the smile flashed across his eyes.

"I heard that you take out those two things as the biggest prize for the leaders of Wen Lei and Wu Lei." He Liang said.

Huo Ji gave a faint 'oh': "That's right."

"Is it ordered by the little emperor?"

"Not far away." Huo Ji smiled, seeing Wen Lei becoming overcrowded, and said softly: "Continue."

The man in charge below seemed to have excellent hearing. He moved his ears, glanced up and clapped his hands again.

I saw the sound of 'rumbling' coming from Wen Lei, which doubled in size.

The boat and the people on the shore hesitated when they saw this, for fear that the mechanism in the wooden bridge would not be able to support it, so the number of people going up gradually decreased.

Seeing this, the man in charge snapped his fingers, and eight maids came up to the stage. Each of them held a tray in their hands, covered with a red cloth, so they couldn't see the contents clearly.

He took the slender jadeite wrapped with gold threads from his subordinates, walked up to the first maid, lifted the red cloth, and revealed the first beauty.

In the black box, there was a black pill, upon closer inspection, there was a golden light swirling around it.

"This is a wonderful pill, which can detoxify all toxins in the world."

After the words fell, everyone's eyes lit up.

The steward picked up a second piece of red cloth, inside which were placed two wine jars.

"This baijiu is the booty that General Huo Ji confiscated from Xiao's army. It is different from the bland and tasteless wine we drink on weekdays. This kind of shochu is a thousand times better. The baijiu tastes sweet and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. If any wine shop can study the formula, it can guarantee the prosperity and wealth of the family for generations."

Pick up the third piece of red cloth, inside there is a blueprint, and an iron object that looks like a needle but is thicker.

"These things are called steel nails, and they can be used to build houses instead of mortise and tenon joints. General Huo sent people to build ten boxes for winning prizes, and this blueprint is the structural drawing used when building houses with steel nails."

"Such a small thing can actually fix the house? Is it true?"

"I heard that Beirong people live in tents. Could it be that this thing was also obtained from Xiao's army?"

"Why do they carry these things with them? Do they want to build a house on the grassland?"

The steward did not respond, and then lifted the fourth piece of red cloth, inside which was placed a black object with binoculars combined.Small and exquisite, the size of a palm.Unscrew the cover to reveal two transparent lenses in front of the binoculars.

"This object is called a telescope, and it can be adjusted to an appropriate angle to see the scenery thousands of miles away."

"Wow! Isn't that clairvoyance? Luoqi Xiaoguo actually hides such a treasure!"

"Tsk! No matter how many treasures you have, you still lost to us in Xiliang!"

The steward lifted the fifth piece of red cloth, revealing a bronze sword, the mottled dark red blood on it was shocking.

Many people began to whisper to each other, guessing the origin of this sword
"Everyone guessed right, this sword is the saber that the King of Beirong used to kill himself!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted the sixth piece of red cloth, and dozens of pens were neatly placed inside.

"General Huo sent people to Luoqi to investigate, and learned that these pens are different from the brushes we usually use. This one is a fountain pen, which needs to be dipped in ink. This one is a pencil, and the tip of the pen needs to be sharpened before it can be used. This A couple of the pens are oil-based and ballpoint pens. There are also these, watercolors and crayons for drawing, as well as highlighters and correction pens for smearing corrections."

The steward brought the rice paper and tried all the pens one by one.

Amidst a burst of admiration, he lifted the sixth piece of red cloth. It was an arm-length pencil case with a set of stationery inside.

"This stationery box contains all kinds of scales, compasses, pencil sharpeners, and a vacuum cleaner for cleaning the desktop. There is a rotary button at the bottom of it, which is easy to operate. This is a notebook with a brown paper cover, and this is a paper Adhesive tape, easy to tear, girls can use it to make exquisite notebooks."

Then the seventh piece of red cloth was lifted, and there were strange bottles and jars inside.

The steward opened several of the bottles, and a scent came out.

"These are body wash, shampoo, conditioner, cleanser, toner, concealer, face cream, eye cream, mask."

"Wait, wait! Steward! Are you sure that these were also confiscated from Bei Rong and Xiao's army? Are they going to fight a war or go on a spring outing?!"

A rich man immediately asked about the idea, and the blue-clothed woman who had been hiding in the dark couldn't laugh or cry. This is not a stage, it's obvious that Huo Ji wants to show off his skills, and by the way, attract various merchants to hold a business promotion meeting!

After all, he is a great general, and he comes from a family of generals, so why do he need to collect money like this crazily?
He Liang took a sip of his tea and said with a smile: "General Huo is short of money at home? Or is he trying to make money and rebel?"

Huo Ji raised his eyebrows, and smiled back calmly: "When I was in the army, I was afraid of being poor, so I didn't save more money, and when we go to war in the future, the soldiers will be hungry again."

When He Liang heard this, his smile froze.

It's no wonder that Huo Ji said so much. Before Huo Ji fought in Beirong, He Liang deliberately cut off his food and sent it to him at a critical moment, which made Xiliang's soldiers suffer a lot for nothing.
"It's a good thing to have a heart for the soldiers, but if you don't have a heart for the little emperor, you have to be careful."

Huo Ji sneered, ignoring the warning in He Liang's words: "The last general's loyalty to the emperor is manifested in heaven and earth."

"So best."

As the seventh piece of red cloth was uncovered, the steward informed the efficacy, pros and cons of the contents of the jar one by one, and the girls and noble ladies present all stepped onto the wooden bridge and rushed towards Wenlei.

The steward opened the eighth piece of red cloth, and there was a stack of books neatly placed inside, the top one had the word 'Mathematics' written on it.

The steward pursed his lips, seemingly hesitant, and looked at Huo Ji on the third floor.

After getting Huo Ji's nod, he reluctantly said: "This book records the use of Arabic numerals, which is a calculation method handed down from Luo Qi. Applicable formulas are composed of numbers and various symbols. , such as basic formulas such as the ninety-nine multiplication table, can be used to quickly calculate the answer."

"Compared to the abacus, how fast?"

The steward snorted coldly: "You'll know if you win."
