Chapter 358 He Has No Shame
Si Linglong did not say anything. She saw the tent opened and a tall man in the imperial guards' silver fish uniform walked in. He had a handsome and open face.
Si Linglong had some impression of this man, Huo Shan's deputy, who was said to be quite capable.
The man first bowed respectfully to Helian Yue and Si Linglong, and said, "Your Majesty, there was a sudden attack by assassins just now, and there was chaos. With the guidance of Master Yuanzun, I captured the culprit who disturbed the horses. I found that the horses lost control because of this leather drum. I came to present it to Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he raised his hands and presented a leather drum that was almost the size of his palm.
Si Linglong was a little surprised.
She still remembered the situation when the horses went crazy collectively just now, and she had wondered how the other party did it. Upon hearing this, she looked at the drum in the man's hand.
Unlike ordinary hand drums, which are usually made of the skins of animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and horses, the skin on this drum is green and has green hair on it, which is obviously not a common animal drum skin. Not to mention that this drum skin can make all horses lose control, which is very mysterious.
Si Linglong thought of a possibility.
[Is it made of monster skin? ]
[Brother Ba said that the skin, flesh and even hair of many monsters have special uses. Could this drum be one of them as well?]
Helian Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard the familiar "Brother Ba" again.
"Brother Ba"... can actually speak.
If it can talk, it is not a pet.
It's personal.
His face looked a little gloomy, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression on his handsome face.
Dai Jiangkuo noticed the emperor's expression and thought that the emperor's face was gloomy because he knew that this drum could make the horse lose control.
Come to think of it.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that such a small thing could be so strange.
Even more so, if two armies were fighting, using this thing to confuse the enemy's horses was simply unthinkable.
What kind of person is that behind the scenes?
After being distracted for a moment by Brother Ba at first, Helian Yue soon thought of this and felt that this thing was indeed tricky.
"Master Yuanzun is here to see you."
Helian Yue ordered in a deep voice.
Since it was Master Yuanzun who gave the instructions, it means that the other party might know the origin of this thing.
According to Si Linglong.
Yuan Zun has a bit of metaphysics in him.
Rather than making wild guesses, it's better to ask directly.
Fu Tai, who was standing by, went there in person after hearing what was said. Helian Yue nodded to Dai Jiangkuan to show his approval.
"You have made great contributions in this matter, and you should be rewarded."
Dai Jiangkuang seemed to be flattered, he knelt on one knee and said in a serious tone, "This is my duty, I dare not ask for reward."
Having said that, simply preventing the horse from getting out of control is a great achievement.
If the horse had not calmed down in time, Helian Yue would not have been able to bring people to rescue Si Linglong in time.
Not to mention that before they returned, Dai Jiangkuan, as the deputy commander, properly arranged the finishing work and settled the Queen Mother and her entourage.
"You deserve the reward for your merit." Helian Yue said, "I will reward you based on your merit after we return to the palace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dai Jiang responded in a loud voice, but Si Linglong saw Qinglu on the side looking unhappy and even a little depressed.
Worried that the girl might have suffered some injustice during the assassination, Si Linglong took advantage of the fact that Master Yuanzun had not arrived yet and signaled Qinglu and Shuhong to accompany her to the back tent to change clothes.
When there was no one around, he asked her, "Tell me, how did that Deputy Commander Dai offend you? Just now I saw you were treating him with indifference."
Qinglu didn't expect that her little emotion was discovered by her master. She felt a little ashamed for a moment, but she lowered her head, bit her lip and said nothing.
Qinglu has always been carefree and straightforward. It was not until this moment that Si Linglong deliberately put on a stern face and said in a hard voice, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Qinglu was frightened by her, looked at Si Linglong, and then, like a broken jar, she cursed with anger.
"He, he is shameless! He relies on his position as deputy commander to take credit for other people's work!"
