Chapter 20 (1/2)
”Daiwang, I will finish it for you.” Hua Meng suddenly knelt down and gnawed his teeth and said that the boiling oil pan looked too frightening. If you go down with one arm, it must be disabled or abandoned. He couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen when Wang's little hand reached in.
”No, I'll do it myself. You won't be convincing, will you?” Li Hong said to the West Turk emissary.
After listening to Hua Meng's words, Wu Mei's heart was slowly relaxed. But when she heard Li Hong's refusal, her heart was suddenly raised again. She wanted to immediately pull the little thing into her arms and beat her up.
The Western Turkic emissary looked at the boiling oil pan and swallowed his saliva. He could see clearly that it was indeed a boiling oil pan. It would never be a fake one. Moreover, the spoonful of oil poured into the fire proved that the oil in the oil pan was not fake.
Li Hong looked at the boiling oil pan quietly, motioning for Hua Meng to hold himself up. If he was close to the oil pan, he would be roasted by the fire below before the oil in the pan was hot.
Li Hong looked at the West Turk emissary, sneered and said, ”look after you.”
Rolling up his sleeve, he showed his white arm, which was tender as lotus root, with baby fat. He motioned for Huameng to approach the oil pan, then slowly bent down and reached into the oil pan.
At this time, the needle can be heard from the whole lakeside hall. Everyone's mouth is wide, and his expression is tense to the extreme. The same pox widens his eyes and holds his breath to watch Li Hong's small hand slowly reach out to the boiling oil pan.
”No, hong'er.” Wu Mei can't stand it. She can be cruel to others. She can even strangle her daughter to frame queen Wang.
But now looking at his favorite child, to reach out to the hot oil pan to get copper money, I still can't bear the pressure, and suddenly broke down the defense line in my heart, and I couldn't help screaming to stop him.
”Don't worry about your mother. Your son's minister will be fine.” Li Hong, who leans out half of his body in Huameng's arms, gives a comforting smile to Wu Mei.
Wu Mei tightly hugs Li Zhi's arm. Li Zhi also can't believe and is shocked to see everything in front of her, but she has secretly vowed that if hong'er has a fault today, all the foreign envoys here will take death to make amends for hong'er!
Yiyang, Anyang and other princes, in the remote corner, looked at Li Hong and the boiling oil pan in horror. Li Hong was bold. They knew it was true, but it was the first time that Li Hong was so stupid.
A Shi Nu touched Li Hong's cheek and sneered in his heart: ”it's better to fall into the oil pan and burn to death, so that we can see the greater jokes of the Tang Dynasty.”
Under the intense gaze of the public, Li Hong Bai Nen's little hand suddenly reached into the boiling oil pan. A burst of nervous screams broke out in the lakeside hall. Yiyang and Anyang buried their heads to each other, and they did not dare to look in the direction of the oil pan.
But at the moment, Wu Mei showed an unusual calm, the whole white beautiful cheek is covered with frost, quietly watching Li Hong put his hand into the oil pan. That's it. The scene in front of her still scares Wu Mei to death. Under the calm appearance, Wu Mei seems to be able to hear her heart beating violently, as if the next moment is about to jump out.
Li Hong in Huameng Huaili didn't scream. Instead, she felt relaxed in the oil pan. Seeing this, Wu Mei was relieved. At this time, she found that her back was soaked with cold sweat.
Li Hong fumbled in the hot oil pan for a while, and finally found the first copper coin. He quickly picked it up from the oil pan and raised it to the stunned Western Turk emissary. Then he put his hand into the boiling oil pan again and took out the second copper coin.
How could that be possible? How could he reach into the oil pan with his bare hands without being scalded? What the hell is going on here? The Western Turkic emissary had a huge wave in his heart. What happened in front of him was beyond his understanding.
The ministers were also shocked by the scene in front of them. Was the king really the son of the dragon? Are you really protected by immortals? The boiling oil pan did not hurt him at all.
Next, a third coin was found, and the fourth one swayed in front of everyone.
Li Hong once again quickly put his hand into the oil pan which was already a little hot. The vinegar in it had evaporated completely at this time. Now it is time for the oil temperature to rise. He quickly groped for the last copper coin. His little hand was under the oil pan and had already grasped the last copper coin tightly. However, he did not take it out at the first time, but pretended to continue to fumble in the oil pan.
He needs to wait and wait for the oil in the pan to boil completely, and then take it up again, because he is afraid that the stupid Western Turk emissary will reach out to the oil pan at the first time to prove whether the oil temperature is boiling hot.
With Li Hong's little hand, he took out the last copper coin from the hot oil pan and held up five copper coins in his hand to show the crowd. The crowd breathed a long breath. The scene just made them nervous. Now they see that Daiwang's small arm is intact, and the stone in his heart is finally on the ground.
At the same time, everyone in the lakeside hall was full of curiosity about the magical and strange scene in front of them. Daiwang was intact, and the white tender arm could not be dispersed in their mind for a long time. Is it the protection of the gods? It's still a cover up. They can't guess, but the boiling oil pan and the white tender arm have brought a huge shock to their hearts.”Hong'er, come here and let the empress and your father look at your arms.” Wu Mei stretched out her arm and waved to Li Hong. The whole person seemed to have experienced a life and death ordeal.
”The empress mother will wait a moment, and let this messenger examine the copper coins first.” Li Hong looked at the Western Turkic emissary, staring at the oil pan, and said.
