Chapter 28 The Liar and the King

In the wide courtyard, the devil lay bored on the rocking chair. The low table beside him was filled with all kinds of melons, fruits and pastries. There were two little maids standing behind him to cool him down. Unfortunately, he had given up food a long time ago. He has no interest in human food, and his physique has been thoroughly psychic due to years of practice. Even if he is exposed to the sun for a whole day, he will not feel the heat. What's more, he is still sitting on the lush osmanthus tree Underneath to enjoy the cool!

Turning over, the demon twisted the yin and yang and jade in his hand. Except for the bluffing sound of Princess Nana who was practicing sword, there was no more angry protest from the parrot.

The parrot with the color character on the head didn't show up even after being cursed as a female, so it must have encountered some big trouble!

The devil began to reflect, he seemed to be too neglectful of the parrot in the past, and he would come and go when he wanted it, but now he realized that the days without this noisy parrot in his ears seem to pass the time more It's been a long time, so long that he wants to sleep for a hundred years to pass the extra time.

In order to find the whereabouts of the parrot, every night, when the people of the Moorland fell asleep, the devil turned into a cloud of black mist and blended into the dark night, searching for the parrot's breath everywhere, leaving it in many places The smell was so weak that it was almost non-existent. The devil tried to track the parrot's breath with many psychic methods, but found nothing. It was unknown whether the colored parrot had gone away or was trapped and could not respond to him.

"Master, how am I doing?" Princess Nana withdrew her sword with luck, and excitedly ran to the devil to ask for praise.

"Hmm..." The closed-eyed restorative demon waved his hands, and didn't even bother to nod his head.

Seeing the devil's perfunctory attitude, Princess Nana was not angry, she sat on another rocking chair, and the clever maid came up with a basin of clean water to wash her hands, Princess Nana frowned, her hand was not good enough Sweat stains, but not dirty, why wash your hands?So he pushed the water basin away in disgust, and shouted: "Go, go..." He picked a chilled grape with his sweaty hands and put it in his mouth, to relieve the heat in his body, and then let out a sigh, Wipe the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.

The two maids who fanned the devil had already moved their steps, and came behind Princess Nana, gently shaking the cattail fan, sending her a burst of cool breeze, but Princess Nana felt that the wind was too weak, and said dissatisfiedly: "Huahua, Hasty, you two should work harder, and if you are so gentle, I will send you two to wash clothes to exercise your strength!"

Huahua and Caocao responded cozily, increased strength in their hands, and sent out gusts of wind, blowing Princess Nana's randomly tied hair into pieces. Because Li had a few grapes in his mouth, his speech was slurred: "Uh huh huh huh huh huh huh..."

"Let's talk after eating!" There were several black lines on the devil's forehead. Although she was his nominal apprentice, this apprentice also...

Princess Nana was as good as good, swallowed the food in her mouth, took a sip of honey juice, and then pointed to the yin and yang and jade in the devil's hand and said: "Master, the quality of the jade ornaments in your hand is not very good, if you like these, I have a few good ones in my room, for you..." He beckoned Huahua back to the palace to pick up the jewelry that had been put aside for her.

The Moorish country is a big country with strong soldiers and horses. Many weak and small countries around them send tributes to the court every year, including gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. The king knew that his eldest daughter didn’t like these things, but the treasury couldn’t hold them. He forced the eldest daughter to choose a hundred Take it to play, give it away, or make toys, so Princess Nana rewards her servants very generously. Many maids and guards have received her favor and are very loyal to her.

The devil really likes jade, but it is a thousand-year-old warm jade, which is rare in the world. Are these ores in the mortal world worthy of being called "jade"?

"If you have the heart, quickly find all the warlocks for me." The demon laughed.

"Master! I've told you many times, since the death of the old master, our Moor country has never raised a warlock again!"

The "Old Teacher" that Princess Nana mentioned is the old warlock who was alive when the king of the Moor Kingdom was still the crown prince. What witchcraft confused the old king and made the old king obey him.

Let's talk about a fact that the whole country knows.

The old sorcerer lied to the old king that he had spent his whole life developing a garment that was unparalleled in the world. This garment was not only light, but also luxurious and expensive. It was a coronation suit specially made for kings. This dress is definitely the bravest king in the world!

The old king was a little moved. Ever since he reached the age of knowing the destiny, he began to neglect state affairs. Many state affairs were left to the prince who was still the heir. I have a great interest in the various styles of clothes made by tailors. He never wears the same clothes. He wears new clothes every day, and later evolved into every time he goes out to the palace or meets every minister, he wears new clothes. It must be completely different from the one just now.

So 360 five days a year, tailors at least have to make 360 ​​five pieces of clothes for the old king to replace, of course, the real number is far greater than this number.

The old king, who was obsessed with being a model, was a little worried and asked the old warlock: "Master, is the style of this dress you made good? Let me explain first, the style is not good, and I don't know how to wear it!"

The old warlock smiled and said, "I hired twenty court tailors for reference, and the style is absolutely unique in the world!"

"Oh," the old king was relieved a little, and smiled, "What kind of fabric is used for the clothes made by the national teacher? Is it silk from the East?"

"No, no," said the old sorcerer, "it's a silk thread refined with my technique, so you can't feel its existence when you wear this dress."

The old king said in surprise: "It's so amazing? This is great, this summer won't be so hot!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the old warlock said deliberately, "and this dress has an even more magical function!"

"Huh? Really? This dress has a more magical function than not being able to feel the presence of the fabric. What is it?" The old king asked curiously, his heart itching, and he was looking forward to the clothes that the old master said!

"Speaking of your majesty, you may still suspect that when I refined the silk thread with a spell, I cast a spell, so this dress has added this special function, that is, any stupid and ignorant person who is dissatisfied with the king's majesty No one can see this radiant coronation suit!"

"Oh! This is great!" The old king jumped up and rubbed his hands happily, "Then I will know which of my subjects and citizens are stupid and ignorant, and which one is dissatisfied with me! I You can punish them and pull out the poisonous fangs of the Moorish country!"

"That's right, His Majesty can also wear it to meet the envoys of neighboring countries, to see if they really bow down to the Moor country." The old warlock said.

Yes, thought the old king, then I can justifiably send troops to take their lands, and take their gold, silver, jewels, and women, well, that's a great idea!

However, before this unparalleled imperial clothing came out, the first victim appeared first.

He is the current king of the Moor Kingdom. At that time, he was still the crown prince of the kingdom and the crown prince of the Moor Kingdom.In order to test whether the son who took care of the government for him was loyal and filial to him, the old king sent him to check the progress of the clothes made for him by the old master.

Of course the Crown Prince didn’t see anything. Not only did he not see the magical imperial clothes, but he also told the truth, knowing that the old warlock was fooling the old king. In a fit of anger, he raised his sword and chopped it off. The old warlock looked old, and he ran away faster than anyone else. He chased the old warlock all the way for Jiutiao Street, and finally alarmed the old king. In a rage, the old king ordered the prince to be locked in the dilapidated Demon Town Tower.

At that time, the Moore Kingdom was still a big country that worshiped magicians. There were tens of thousands of warlocks, large and small, in the country. Those who are dead will be sent to the Demon Suppression Tower, and what awaits them is the end of death without a place to bury them. Therefore, no stranger dares to approach the Demon Suppression Tower for tens of miles around.

The prince was escorted to the Demon Town Tower by a dozen or so little warlocks. Their arrogant smiles, complacent expressions, and cold words deeply stimulated the Crown Prince of the Moor Kingdom.

"My lord leader is really clever, he really sent the prince to the Demon Town Tower to fend for himself!" Jia said.

"Isn't it! Hey, let me just say, in time, our Lord Leader will definitely replace the fatuous old king. As long as the city-wide parade is held as scheduled, the old king will become everyone's laughing stock. At that time, there will be no need for Lord Leader to do anything. He will also be pulled down by the common people, hey, the leader sat on the throne in accordance with the public opinion, we are the number one hero, and we will definitely be named marquises and worshipers!" Yi said.

"Prince, you don't have to gnash your teeth. If you want to hate, just hate your stupid and stupid old man. Don't file a wrong report when you see big ghosts and little ghosts on Huangquan Road." Bing said.

The prince gritted his steel teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

The second victim was a general with a great record. He was escorted to the Demon Suppressing Tower by the group of little warlocks after two days.

Because of this great general with heavy troops in the Moor country, all countries pay homage to the Moor country every year. I am afraid that they will be neglected. I have seen this general who is called a ghost in front of the border.

The third victim was a loyal and honest minister. He was a civil servant who dared to speak out. Every year, he tirelessly urged the old king to stay away from the sorcerer and put the people first. For this reason, the old sorcerer regarded him as a thorn in his side.

The fourth victim was a highly respected historian. He used to be the Taifu. As soon as he explained a word, he was thrown into the Demon Suppressing Tower by the old king who had entered the demon barrier.

When No. 18 victims gathered to town the Demon Tower, the crown prince of the Moor Kingdom finally, under everyone's persuasion, made up his mind to wear a yellow robe and usurp the throne.

It was a tragic bloody melee. In this accident, the soldiers of the Moor Kingdom suffered heavy casualties and their vitality was greatly injured. Of course, the one who finally stood on the stage of victory was the current king of the Moor Kingdom, the former prince and prince. .

The history books of the Moor Kingdom only record that the old king was seriously ill and abdicated, and the crown prince became the new emperor. The first edict issued by the resolute new emperor was to remove all the power of the old master and drive the warlocks out of the country. Warlocks who left the country of Moor were beheaded for public display in accordance with the newly issued law.

In fact, the old king was imprisoned in an old house in the deep palace, and he had new clothes to wear every day, but he couldn't get out of the gate of the deep palace, and no one visited him, except the one who made clothes for him. Clothes tailor.

The old warlock was sent to the Demon Suppressing Tower by the new king, together with several followers A, B, C, D, their fate was not recorded in the history books, and it was not circulated in the folklore. Anyway, the Demon Suppressing Tower still stands tall There, within a radius of tens of miles, there is still no human habitation.
