Chapter 50 How to make milk dumplings
But at this point, he had already made up his mind, so he could only agree, "Okay, in return, if this little kid loses, Lord Shen's title of Lord and his life will be in jeopardy."
[My goodness, this bastard is trying to kill my father in various ways. Dad, you have offended too many people.]
Shen Zongguang also realized that he was surrounded by dangers! It turned out that under the calm, there was a dark tide!
Thanks to little Tangbao, their family has been able to escape danger many times!
"Okay." Shen Zongguang nodded. "Even if I die, I will do it for the country, for the country, and for the people. If I can stop this flood, the rain will stop and the sky will clear, so that the people will no longer suffer from the flood disaster, even if I die thousands of times, I will not refuse!"
[Dad, don't worry. You are my biological father. How could I let you die?]
[Dad, look at what you said. The emperor was so moved that his eyes turned red.]
Of course Shen Zongguang knew that he would be fine as long as Xiao Tangbao was around, but he still had to say nice words. He had to let the emperor see his loyalty.
The emperor's eyes were red, he choked up a little, and patted Shen Zongguang's shoulder heavily, "It is an honor for the Great Sheng Kingdom to have a loyal minister like you! It is also a blessing for me! Come, I will take you two to the Zhaixing Tower to open the altar!"
The emperor also believed in Xiao Tangbao's ability. Since this child was a blessing from heaven to their Dasheng Kingdom, he would surely be able to recover after the storm.
Star Picking Tower.
The news that the emperor wanted Xiao Tangbao to hold a magic show competition with Qin Tianjian spread throughout the court. All the ministers braved the heavy rain to come to the Zhaixing Tower, and even the common people heard about it.
It’s a pity that the common people cannot enter the palace and cannot see the competition in the Star-Picking Tower. Everyone can only wait and see.
Everyone had been suffering from the flood disaster for too long and hoped that God would show up. Some fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures, while others knelt before the Buddha and prayed for the Bodhisattva to show up, but to no avail. The people became discouraged until the Star-Picking Tower was opened for a ritual.
"I heard that the ministers in the court have all gone to the Zhaixing Tower. I want to take a look too. Oh, I'm so anxious."
"Me too. I heard that Lord Shen's little Tangbao is a three-month-old baby. How can a little baby pray for rain and clear weather? How is that possible?"
"But Lord Shen made such a solemn promise that he even risked his life! This kid must be quite capable."
"Then Qin Tianjian has also been learning from a great monk since he was young, and his skills are profound. With so many years of practice, how could he lose to a baby? I think Lord Shen is in trouble this time."
"I was really worried about Lord Shen."
Naturally, this matter also reached Shen Bailin's ears. Shen Bailin took Qin Hanyan's family and rushed to the palace and the Zhaixing Tower without saying a word.
Shen Bailin was very excited.
Qin Tianjian is indeed his good brother. He knows how to help him vent his anger. Although he himself cannot bring down Shen Zongguang, his good brother can bring him down, so they have achieved the same goal.
When Shen Zongguang was beheaded, his position as marquis would still be his, and all the gold, silver, treasures and wealth would also be his!
He also knew Qin Tianjian's strength. He was quite knowledgeable. When his daughter Ruyi was born, Qin Tianjian said that Ruyi had an excellent destiny and would be the most noble woman in the world in the future.
He deeply believes this.
And the fact that his son became smart was also the work of Qin Tianjian.
Back then, his son Fang Cheng was not as smart as the eldest wife's son Shen Yuanbai. He and Qin Hanyan were very distressed and unwilling to let their son only be Shen Yuanbai's companion. Qin Tianjian gave them a jade pendant and asked for the birth dates of their two children.
Their Fang Cheng wore the jade pendant on his body day and night. Sure enough, Fang Cheng became smarter and smarter every day. His poems and literary talent were brilliant. Even the teacher praised Fang Cheng endlessly, while Shen Yuanbai became more stupid and ignorant day by day.
Therefore, Shen Zongguang felt more and more that Qin Tianjian was a man of real ability. He got along very well with Qin Tianjian over the years, and the two became sworn brothers.
As for the Shen family's little Tangbao, a little brat who hasn't even grown any teeth yet, how dare he compete with their Qintianjian?
Shen Zongguang brought his own death upon himself, so he can't blame anyone else.
Soon, the opening ceremony began——
Shen Zongguang held little Tangbao in his arms as they stood on a round altar made of pure gold. The father and daughter stood on the left, while Qin Tianjian stood on the right. In the center was a table with an incense burner, incense, and a bunch of Qin Tianjian's peach wood swords, wine, talisman paper and other props.
But Xiao Tangbao didn't bring any props, he was very clean.
Shen Zongguang, Xiao Tangbao and Qin Tianjian were all wearing straw raincoats.
The little Tangbao wore a rain hat on her head and a loose straw raincoat on her body, revealing her round, pink and white face. Her dark, watery lychee eyes looked around, rolling around, making her look cute and adorable.
The ministers formed a circle with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the altar. Everyone held umbrellas and watched the scene in the heavy rain.
"The little girl from Lord Hou's family is so cute."
"Yeah, it makes my heart melt just looking at it."
"It's understandable that the Marquis loves his people, but he is gambling his life with Qin Tianjian. It's a pity that the little girl is going to lose her father at such a young age..."
"Who says it's not?"
All the ministers felt that Lord Shen was doomed to fail this time.
The eunuch beside him held an umbrella for the emperor. The emperor personally lit three incense sticks in the incense burner. When the incense smoke rose, the emperor said, "My two beloved ministers, let's start the ritual now——"
The moment he finished speaking, Qin Tianjian took a big gulp of wine, sprayed it on the peach wood sword in his hand, then pointed the peach wood sword at the sky where heavy rain and thunder were rolling, and shouted a series of spells.
[Why does this wine spray look like shit spray? ]
[Even from a distance, I can smell a foul odor! ]
[Doesn't this old bastard brush his teeth? His mouth stinks. I wonder how the concubine who had an affair with him could stand it.]
The emperor standing aside was extremely anxious. Which concubine was having an affair? Little Tangbao, please tell me more!
The emperor pricked up his ears and continued to listen, but then Xiao Tangbao stopped talking.
Under the Star-Picking Tower, the ministers concentrated their minds and watched carefully.
At the moment the spell was cast, the sky, which was originally filled with rumbling thunder, dark clouds covering the sky, and heavy rain, gradually began to dissipate a little.
"Oh my god, look! It's almost sunny!"
"Master Qin Tianjian is so awesome! It's finally going to be sunny!"
