Li Sizu: “…”
Anyone who brags in front of Sister Xiaoxiao will be punished, and the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom is no exception.
Black charcoal head: "......"
You old snake demon, you don't know how to live or die, you dare to show off in front of my master, I'll see how you kneel down to the Emperor of Dongsheng.
Ministers: "......"
The high priest's words sound impressive, but it's hard to say whether he can do it.
He had said before that he would make the emperor kneel down to welcome him, but what happened? Did the emperor pay any attention to him? He just rolled in obediently.
"It seems that this high priest is not as powerful as imagined. Do you think he will kneel down in a while?"
"I don't know. It doesn't look like that. I heard he's very capable and not everyone can handle him."
"Then you are wrong. I guess he will kneel down today. If you don't believe me, I bet you a tael of silver."
"I think it's OK. I bet five taels of silver that he kneels down. What about you? Who bets that he won't kneel down?"
The ministers below were bored and whispered to each other, and set up a small-scale bet on whether the high priest should kneel or not.
The news started to spread from ear to ear, and when it reached the ears of the Duke of Zhenguo, his voice was louder.
"I'll pay a hundred taels of silver to buy the high priest to kneel."
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor and everyone, including the high priest, looked unhappy.
Especially the high priest, who didn't expect that the court of Dongsheng was so disgusting that they actually set up a bet on whether he would kneel or not. This kind of bet was not decided by them, but by him.
Whether he kneels or not is not up to others to decide.
Wow! It looks like he's going to make a fortune.
The high priest winked at the maid, and the eldest princess of Nanyun Kingdom, Nangong Jinyun, stood up and looked coldly at the civil and military officials.
The cold voice was filled with unquestionable arrogance: "The high priest offered 100,000 taels of silver to buy him from kneeling."
What?
Civil and military officials all looked at each other in bewilderment. How could the small gambling game they had secretly set up be brought to the surface so quickly?
They glanced at the emperor above them and saw that his expression did not seem so bad, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor was unhappy, the people involved would probably be reprimanded.
After all, this is the imperial court, not a street market. Even if you want to set up a gambling game, you shouldn't do it at this time.
The problem is whether the high priest will kneel or not. Only at this time can we know. After the result is known, no one will bet on it.
I didn't expect the high priest to actually offer 100,000 taels of silver to buy me from kneeling? Does the emperor have to get involved? Otherwise, who has so much money to challenge the high priest?
[Ahaha! Here comes the chance to make some money, Black-haired! Speak for our national teacher and offer him one million taels to make him kneel down.]
Li Sizu: “…”
Sister Xiaoxiao is too naughty. Is she trying to get the high priest to follow her? Will she lose face in the end?
emperor:"......"
Do I want to join in? Does the little ancestor have a chance of winning against the high priest?
The charcoal-haired man stood up, looking like he deserved a beating: "The state master offers one million taels of silver to buy the high priest of Nanyun country to kneel down."
Civil and military officials: "......"
Now that the Imperial Master is involved, it means we are sure to win. We have to buy it. This is a good opportunity. It's rare that the Emperor doesn't stop it, so we can't miss it.
The last time they gambled with the envoys from the Northern Kingdom, they were too timid to make a move, and ended up losing the opportunity to make some money.
We must not miss this opportunity again. The Imperial Master took the lead in making a big bet, and they are just following suit. The Emperor certainly cannot reprimand them.
As soon as the black-haired man finished speaking, the high priest's nose became crooked with anger again. He stared fiercely at the black boy on the stage, his tone extremely arrogant.
"This priest offers five million taels of silver to buy this priest. If you don't, kneel down."
He was just a black boy, and he was expected to kneel down and pay homage to the Emperor of Dongsheng. How could that be possible? If he hadn't kicked his two tigers to death, he wouldn't have come in on his own.
His knees weigh a thousand pounds, and no mortal is worthy of kneeling down to worship him.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials of Dongsheng Kingdom raised their hands.
The emperor winked at Eunuch Yuanbao, who immediately took out a pen to register.
"Ten thousand taels to buy the high priest to kneel."
"Fifty thousand taels to buy the high priest to kneel."
"Eighty thousand taels to buy the high priest to kneel."
"One hundred thousand taels to buy the high priest to kneel."
"......"
The emperor listened and wanted to laugh out loud. This familiar recipe, this familiar scene, how come Dongsheng is going to make a fortune again?
Who proposed this bet? How clever! He had provoked the temper of the High Priest of Nanyun Country with just a few words.
Five million taels of silver! The people of Dongsheng are blessed. My little ancestor is a lucky star. With her around, it is easy to fleece other countries without mercy.
When the high priest heard so many people asking him to kneel, the anger in his heart kept boiling out.
He didn't know where these tiny, ignorant mortals got the confidence and self-confidence to think he would kneel down to Emperor Dongsheng.
Hey! He has the final say over his knees and whether to kneel or not.
"Two million taels of silver for the high priest, kneel."
There was a hint of excitement in the cold voice of Crown Prince Li Sizu. Sister Xiaoxiao bought too little, so he had to buy more. Sister Xiaoxiao must have a way to make the high priest kneel down.
The black-haired man looked at the civil and military officials and the prince below in confusion. Everyone was kneeling down to buy the old snake spirit so enthusiastically, did he want to buy some too?
But he had no money, how could he buy it?
No matter, let’s buy it first. I didn’t see them actually taking out the money. They just talked about it, so he could do the same.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver to buy the old snake spirit to kneel."
He didn't even call the high priest, but directly called out his true form, and he didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to kill the old snake demon.
"You ignorant black kid, why do you have to follow the Emperor of Dongsheng? He is just a mortal, how can he be worthy of your help? Come to this priest and I will take you to heaven and earth, how about that?"
If he could get this little black dragon and take away his soul, his true form would no longer be a snake, but a dragon.
He separated a wisp of divine consciousness to control the body of the high priest, and his original body became a dragon. He could also occupy a place in the world of gods, and he could still call the wind and rain in the human world.
The charcoal-haired man folded his arms, shook one leg, and had a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Is it difficult to go to heaven or earth? I don't know how many times I have gone back and forth. The Emperor of Dongsheng is not worthy of my help, but my master is!"
"Your master? Who is he?"
The high priest was a little panicked. Anyone who could be called master by the little black dragon must be a deity of a relatively high level.
It was already difficult for him to deal with a black dragon, and if a higher-level deity was added, he would be unable to cope with it at all.
Is his knee going to fail? Is he really going to kneel down?
No, he must save his knees. Losing five million taels of silver is a small matter, but losing face is a big deal!
His eyes swept over every person on the platform, but he didn't detect any divine aura at all.
This black boy must have lied to him. He was afraid that he wouldn't kneel, so he made up a master to scare him.
