Summary of the previous chapter: Zhu Youxiao came to watch the competition. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu actually prepared a drill to add to the fun...
Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian and Li Zongyu would act like this. Well, the competition hasn't started yet, so Li Zongyu has already been promoted to the first level. If he loses this competition, then Li Zongyu will not be promoted to the third level.
, No, this sign must be killed.
When Wei Zhongxian saw Ma Xiaoquan frowning, he chuckled and said, "Deacon, General Li did a drill. What about you? Do you think the emperor just came to see you compete with the women?"
Wei Zhongxian's provocation, Zhu Youxiao, the brainless emperor, nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ma Aiqing, do you just think that I am just here to watch your competition?"
Ma Xiaoquan hated Wei Zhongxian in his heart, but on the surface he respectfully said to Zhu Youxiao: "Returning to the emperor, General Li has prepared a drill to entertain the emperor. We have won eleven people, so naturally there will be some entertainment.
....."
Wei Zhongxian said: "Ma Xiaoquan, tell me, could it be dancing? Don't be ridiculous, kabuki is right next to it. Is your group of women dancing as good as the palace kabuki?"
Li Qinghan couldn't help it anymore and was about to step forward to refute Wei Zhongxian. Ma Xiaoquan stopped her and shook his head gently. Then he took a step forward and said politely: "Eunuch Wei, what you said is wrong. I didn't say that."
What kind of dance are you dancing? How can Eunuch Wei talk nonsense? Oh, by the way, Eunuch Wei, you are illiterate. What I just said was bad and nonsense. Did you understand what I meant?"
Although Wei Zhongxian was illiterate, he often listened to Li Yongzhen read to him memorials submitted by ministers. After listening to them for a long time, although he could not write or recognize many words and lyrics, he understood 40 to 50% of their meanings.
Wei Zhongxian was not angry at all. He believed that Ma Xiaoquan had ruined his illiteracy because he had the effect of irritating Ma Xiaoquan. In this way, he was very happy. It seems that Ma Xiaoquan's temper has also become bad after losing real power, haha...
.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Well, Ma Aiqing, you said you also prepared something to add to the fun... uh, it's a show, right? Then bring it out for me
Take a look!"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and turned to signal to Li Qinghan. Li Qinghan understood, took a tray from the team member's hand, and slowly walked up with the tray in his hand.
Li Qinghan was the "Goddess of Fire", so Zhu Youxiao was naturally polite when he saw her. The two exchanged a few words, and Li Qinghan nodded and took his place, standing on Ma Xiaoquan's right hand side.
Ma Xiaoquan took the tray from Li Qinghan and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, guess what is in this tray?"
The tray was covered with red cloth, and it was impossible to tell what was inside, but judging from the slightly raised part, there should be a hard object inside the tray.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and guessed: "It should be a piece of wood."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, made a deliberate ouch, then lifted up the red cloth and said, "Your Majesty is really awesome. As expected, there is a piece of fine walnut wood placed under this tray."
"Oh? Bring it to me and have a look!" Zhu Youxiao said.
Ma Xiaoquan respectfully presented the walnut wood on the tray. Zhu Youxiao took it and played with it for a few times before nodding: "It is indeed the best walnut wood!"
Ma Xiaoquan took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's tray can contain not only walnut wood, but also other good woods. Of course, they are all small pieces!"
"Oh, Ma Aiqing, do you really mean what you said?" Zhu Youxiao put down the ebony wood and asked.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Your Majesty, you might as well talk about one more category, and the humble minister will be transformed by the Emperor!"
"Okay!" Zhu Youxiao stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let's change into a huanghuali wood."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, covered the tray with a red cloth, then grabbed the red cloth a few times with his free hand, and then lifted the red cloth.
"Huh?" Zhu Youxiao saw a small square piece of wood in the tray at first sight. With his skill of playing with wood, he recognized it at first glance as huanghuali wood.
"Come again, another black gold wood!" Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands.
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged and said: "Your Majesty, the best black gold wood is extremely rare. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"
Before Zhu Youxiao could speak, Wei Zhongxian said first: "Ma Xiaoquan, didn't you just say that you could change anything you said? Now you say that you can't change into black gold wood. You are deceiving the emperor! Your Majesty, Ma Xiaoquan deceived the emperor and should be beheaded!"
Kill the nine tribes!”
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly: "Wei Zhongxian, why do you talk nonsense? Just because I said I can't change, it doesn't mean that Vulcan Empress can't change. Your Majesty... Vulcan Empress is my vice-captain.
, next, let her change for the emperor!"
Li Qinghan smiled slightly, took the tray and red cloth from Ma Xiaoquan's hand, and moved forward lightly.
Then, Li Qinghan closed his eyes and breathed out gently.
It was still late summer, but Li Qinghan's breath was in the shape of white mist. Everyone present was surprised when they saw this.
Li Qinghan opened her eyes, stretched out her right hand, and then a ball of light blue flame emerged from the palm of her hand.
"This..." When Wei Zhongxian saw the light blue flame, he felt a strong sense of fear in his heart. He secretly looked at Ma Xiaoquan, only to see Ma Xiaoquan staring at him.
Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but nodded. He had seen such a scene before when he conferred Li Qinghan, so he could still hold his breath, while the others opened their mouths and were stunned.
Li Qinghan smiled slightly, took the huanghuali wood from Ma Xiaoquan's hand, and placed it in the palm of his right hand.
The light blue flame instantly surrounded the piece of huanghuali wood, and then the color became darker and darker until the inside was invisible.
"Drink!" Li Qinghan suddenly shouted coldly. The light blue flame disappeared in an instant, and the piece of yellow rosewood in the palm of her right hand had turned into black and shiny carbon wood.
Li Qinghan let the carbon wood in his hand dry for a while, then brought it to Zhu Youxiao and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is black gold wood!"
"Huh?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Qinghan in surprise and said, "Vulcan Empress, isn't Wu Jinmu like this?"
Li Qinghan chuckled: "Your Majesty is right, this piece of wood is actually called the Vulcan Wood. I calcined it with flames. Well, it can be said that although it is wood, it is a hundred times stronger than swords and guns.
!”
"You lied!" Li Zongyu stepped forward and snatched the Fire God Wood from Li Qinghan's hand.
