Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 312 A Prophecy

On the peak of Mount Li, inside the Palace of the Son of Heaven, a burly man dressed in women's attire shook his head resignedly in front of Baosi behind the curtain, walked out of the palace dejectedly, and wiped off the thick rouge on his face in embarrassment.

At this time, Yang Ni, who was waiting outside the palace, watched the back of the big man in women's clothing leave, frowned, and asked, "Which number is this already?"

The young lieutenant next to him looked bitter and replied in a low voice, "General, the 130th eighth."

"Trash!" Yang Ni, who was usually calm and calm, blamed him with furious eyebrows at this moment: "Where did you find these sensationalists, even you can't laugh yourself, will Bao Si laugh when you see it?"

The young lieutenant said helplessly: "The officials invited are all the most famous clowns from all over the world. She still refuses to laugh. There is really nothing I can do..."

Before the young lieutenant could finish speaking, a steel-like palm slapped his thin face hard, making a slap!
Yang Ni sternly shouted: "Now I am fully responsible for this matter. If Bao Si keeps refusing to laugh, Your Majesty will lose the bet, and you will definitely ask me for it!"

The young lieutenant lowered his head, not knowing how to respond.

Looking at the pitiful lieutenant general, Yang Ni could only sigh. He never thought that he would fall into the hands of a woman!
As soon as the notice that the Son of Heaven offered a reward of a thousand gold for a smile was posted, many opportunistic people rushed to Lishan Mountain through untold hardships in the snow and snow, scrambling to make Bao Si smile.Those people have various methods, some don't hesitate to disguise themselves as women, some stick out their tongues and stare, and some make ridiculous jokes...

However, Bao Si's face was frosty from the beginning to the end, and he refused to show a smile.

Yang Ni never dreamed that he would go to great lengths to win a woman's smile.But for the ultimate goal in his heart, he still took a deep breath, tried to calm down the suffocation in his heart, and said to the lieutenant beside him: "I will give you one last chance, if you can't find a suitable person again, come and see me!"

"The last general obeys!" The young lieutenant nodded again and again, and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, Bao Si sat quietly behind a curtain and called out of the palace, "General Yang, why did the mountains shake and the ground shake just now?"

Hearing the sound, Yang turned around and walked into the Li Palace, and replied: "Just now the beacon tower three miles away collapsed, Master Guo Han has already gone to check it himself."

Bao Si slowly opened the curtain, walked out of the emperor's palace, looked at the beacon towers standing in the snow in the distance, and asked, "General Yang, I still don't know what the beacon towers are for?"

Yang Ni explained: "The beacon towers set up all over Lishan Mountain were built to prevent the Rong people from invading the Zhou Dynasty. There are one every few miles. Once the Rong people lead troops to invade, the sentry who first discovered the enemy's situation will light the beacon fire; When the sentinels at the neighboring pass saw the beacon fire, they would light up one after another, so that one by one, the nearby princes would send troops to rescue them when they saw it."

At this time, Ji Gongyan was standing on the observation deck not far away, looking down at Baosi who was pulling dark clouds from a distance, and seeing her slim figure in the snow, she was indeed a stunning beauty of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.However, what Ji Gongyan cares most at the moment is not Baosi's all-powerful beauty, but that this woman never smiles no matter how funny the jokes are.

Father Guo Shi took a step forward, deliberately shook his head and sighed: "Bao Si was born so beautiful, if she can smile again, she will be even more charming."

Hearing something in his words, Ji Gongyan asked: "It seems that Guo Shangqing has already made up his mind."

Father Guoshi smiled and said, "My minister, I dare to suggest using the beacon tower to try."

"Beacon Tower?" Ji Gongyan frowned slightly.

Father Guo Shi explained: "When the beacon fire is lit at night, the princes of all countries will think that Haojing is in a hurry when they see it. The emperor is in trouble, and he will definitely lead his troops here. At that time, thousands of troops will come and go as soon as they are called. That scene is so funny, it will definitely make Bao Si smile."

After hearing this, Ji Gongyan showed displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice, "The beacon tower is an emergency signal when the dog army invades. I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."

Father Guo Shi's eyes were flowing, he bowed his head and stopped talking. It seems that this 16-year-old emperor is not so stupid that there is no cure.

Xibo Jifu took a step forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of an interesting story."

Hearing the grand master who usually opens and closes his mouth on important national affairs speak like this, Ji Gongzhen was quite surprised and asked, "The grand master can also tell jokes?"

Father Guoshi jokingly said: "Sure enough, there must be a brave man under a thousand pieces of gold. If the grand master wants to win a reward, he should go to Li Palace and tell Baosi."

Ji Gongyan said with more interest, "Master, why don't you tell me the story first."

Xibo Jifu said: "Once upon a time there was a child herding sheep. When he was bored, he yelled 'Wolf is coming' to the villagers. When the villagers arrived, they found that there were no wolves. The next day, the child yelled 'Wolf is coming' to the villagers again. ’, the villagers came and found that they were still being cheated. On the third day, the child once again yelled at the villagers that the wolf was coming, but the villagers ignored him, never thinking that the wolf had really come and ate the child.”

After hearing this, Father Guo Shi couldn't help but his face darkened, "The Grand Master's joke is not funny."

Ji Gongyan's eyes fluttered, and thoughtfully, he thought to himself that the Rong people are like the wolves in the story, so don't be that angry child.

Xibo Jifu said: "Lighting the beacon fire for no reason, attracting all the princes to come here for nothing, will definitely cause chaos in the world. In the future, if the Rong people really invade with troops, we light the beacon fire again, and the princes will be afraid." I want to dismiss it as a child's play, and refuse to come to the rescue."

Ji Gongyan thought it was reasonable, turned to Father Guo Shi slowly, and asked, "Guo Shangqing, with your idea, don't you want to burn my family's country to the ground?"

Father Guo Shi quickly took a step back and said anxiously: "The old minister dare not, the old minister deserves death!"

At this moment, Li Hongxi, who was silent at the side, suddenly pointed his finger into the distance and shouted, "Look, Your Majesty!"

Ji Gongyan looked in the direction Li Hongxi was pointing at, and saw beacon towers in the distance, smoke rising everywhere, and the flames soaring into the sky!

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, for some reason, the flames were suddenly lit?

At this time, a fast horse rushed over, and the sentinel on the horse hissed: "Urgent report before the battle! Urgent report before the battle!"

Li Hongxi asked: "But what happened to Taoist Lu Ya and the Western congregation?"

The sentinel shook his head again and again, panting: "Rongdi...Rongdi's army...suddenly raised troops to invade the country...already rushed to eight hundred miles away!"

Ji Gongyan's body shook, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and said anxiously: "General Li!"

Li Hongxi took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "The end is here."

"Quickly dispatch troops and generals, and let people rush to rescue you!"

"As ordered!"

Li Hongxi hurriedly stepped down from the watchtower, and rushed to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the headquarters that had been stationed nearby in advance.

Xibo Jifu never imagined that he would become a prophecy. Could it be that someone leaked the news?

At this time, Father Guo Shi secretly rejoiced in his heart, but at the same time felt a little strange, it was clearly not the appointed time, why did the army of Rong and Di come here early?
