Sky over the relay station is covering the ominous bloody aura, the increasing number of people through all kinds of channels, hearing Dragon King must to the hearsay that all competitors slaughter, at the same time, unknown origin the preparation removes the Dragon King news also to cause a clamor. 驿站上空笼罩着不祥的血腥气息,越来越多的人通过各种各样的渠道,听说龙王要对所有竞争者大开杀戒的传闻,与此同时,来历不明者准备除掉龙王的消息也甚嚣尘上。 Does not understand the person of inside story by these mutual contradictions, but the bloody rumor frightens sleepless, the rich merchant young masters who that several proposed first could not bear the pressure, when elected the son-in-law formally not to start, announced one after another withdraws. 不了解内情的人被这些互相矛盾但又血淋淋的传言吓得夜不能寐,那几名来求婚的富商公子首先承受不住压力,在选婿尚未正式开始的时候,陆续宣布退出。 They come to see lively, does not want to compete for the princess with no reason at all was killed. 他们只是来看热闹的,可不想无缘无故为争夺公主而丧命。 Other wooers persist in not drawing back, particularly the sons of that five various tribe chiefs, they understand very little to Dragon King, cares about nothing to possible slaughtering. 其他求婚者坚持不退,尤其是那五名各部落酋长的儿子,他们对龙王知之甚少,对可能发生的杀戮也毫不在乎。 Gu Shenwei discovered oneself become the crow that has been able to bring the bad luck, which arrives is given special attention, in Stone Kingdom's capital even has the resident to run up to the relay station entrance specially, to from afar look at Dragon King one, if he grips the hilt conveniently, would annoying whoa. 顾慎为发现自己成了能带来噩运的乌鸦,走到哪都受到特别的关注,石国都城里甚至有居民专门跑到驿站门口,就为远远地看龙王一眼,他要是随手握住刀柄,总会惹来一阵惊叹声。 But less than two days, the people heard that Dragon King and Golden Roc Castle two young masters become the news of good friend, many people witness the absolutely irreconcilable two groups of people to invite mutually, meaning that do not wage a war. 可是没过两天,众人又都听说龙王与金鹏堡两位公子成为好朋友的消息,许多人亲眼目睹本来不共戴天的两伙人互相宴请,一点也没有要大动干戈的意思。 This may make everybody muddled. 这可让大家都糊涂了。 Central Plains special envoy Lin Tao summoned Dragon King for this reason, the inquiry reason. 中原特使林韬为此召见龙王,询问原由。 „I need to understand the Golden Roc Castle details.” Gu Shenwei such as is the explanation, „I do not want to carry out the slaughter in Shi Guo, will not reconcile with them truly.” “我需要了解金鹏堡的底细。”顾慎为如是解释,“我即不想在石国搞屠杀,也不会与他们真正和解。” Lin Tao displays the full trust to Dragon King, at least in surface so, quick, he introduced that Dragon King and Loulan prince meets. 林韬对龙王表现出十足的信任,起码表面上如此,很快,他介绍龙王与楼兰王子见面。 Loulan prince is ten ** the year youth, the look is handsome, the style of speaking scholarly, demonstrates respect just right to Dragon King. 楼兰王子是名十**岁的青年,相貌英俊,谈吐儒雅,对龙王展示出恰到好处的尊敬。 Two people not regarding princess's matter, but chatted, henceforth has known, afterward, Gu Shenwei thought that the person of Central Plains choice was quite ideal, if he were King Shi Guo, without any ambient pressure, definitely will choose this prince to work as the emperor's son-in-law. 两人没有谈起公主的事情,只是闲聊,从此算是结识了,事后,顾慎为觉得中原选择的人还是比较理想的,如果他是石国国王,在没有任何外界压力的情况下,肯定会挑选这位王子当驸马。 Elected the son-in-law finally formally to start. 选婿终于正式开始了。 First compared with the family background, each wooer must turn in a genealogy transcription, proved oneself have the well-established honored blood relationship. 第一项是比家世,每位求婚者都要交上一份家谱副本,证明自己拥有源远流长的尊贵血统。 Gu Shenwei has declared to the outside oneself are surnamed Yang, although Yang also has certain status in the Central Plains martial arts world, but in the Western Region standard, really does not have full praising, is good early is prepared because of Fang Wenshi, has compiled an evolution for Dragon King. 顾慎为一直对外宣称自己姓杨,杨氏虽然在中原武林也有一定地位,但以西域的标准,实在无足称道,好在方闻是对此早有准备,替龙王编写了一份谱系。 He has not started from Yang, but displays the Great Snow Mountain history, since the legend time, has inherited in Dragon King, he showed with the magnificent writing, before the Great Snow Mountain mountain person is Central Plains , the descendant of former previous dynasty emperor, to seek asylum the far ten thousand li (0.5 km) moved Great Snow Mountain, „Head of the Dragon, King of Five Peaks” was the title that the god bestowed. 他没有从杨氏入手,而是罗列大雪山历史,从传说时代开始,一直传承到龙王手里,他以华丽的文字证明,大雪山山民是中原前前前朝皇帝的后裔,为避难才远涉万里迁居大雪山,“群龙之首、五峰之王”乃是神赐的称号。 Is this evolution, making Prime Minister Yang Dou have a headache very much, he does not dare to declare that inside content all compiles, such is no different to Dragon King challenges, but cannot acknowledge that its authenticity, if so, Dragon King will be nobler than King Shi Guo. 就是这份谱系,让丞相杨兜很头疼,他不敢宣称里面的内容全是编造,那样无异于向龙王挑战,但也不能承认它的真实性,果真如此,龙王将比石国国王本人还要高贵。 Finally, Yang Dou finds out the idea, only comments first, does not judge to the genealogy of other people does not arrange the order. 最后,杨兜想出主意,只评第一,对其他人的家谱不加评判不排顺序。 Prince of the Kang Kingdom achieved wishes to obtain the family background most honored title, the reason that Yang Dou gives is, Kang Kingdom and Shi Guo royal family exchanges the marriage, naturally takes multi- additional one point difference in the family background. 康国王子如愿获得家世最尊贵的称号,杨兜给出的理由是,康国与石国王族互通婚姻,在家世上自然要多加一点分。 With is one of the Xiaoyao Lake five countries, Shi Guo must give a Prince of the Kang Kingdom face. 同为逍遥海五国之一,石国必须给康国王子一点面子。 Then what compares is the literary talent, each wooer hands over an article, beautiful appearance that praises the princess. 接下来比的是文采,每位求婚者交一篇文章,赞扬公主的美貌。 The sons of several chiefs were bewildered, loudly found Prime Minister to quarrel loudly shout, „I must see the princess, had not seen including the person, wrote?” „So long as sees one side the princess, writes several hundred characters not to be a problem.” 几位酋长的儿子对此莫名其妙,找到丞相大吵大嚷,“我要见公主,连人都没见到,怎么写？”“只要见公主一面,写几百字也不成问题。” Yang Dou spent many energy to explain that to them anything was the literary talent, „appearance that you imagined the princess, was really not good, arranges also good, this article ratio was not the resembles that who described, whose writing but was exquisite.” 杨兜花了不少精力向他们解释什么是文采,“你们想象公主的容貌,实在不行,编也行,这篇文章比的不是谁描写的像,而是谁的文字优美。” „Is writing exquisite? The writing is similar, will the Central Plains character be more attractive than our writing?” “文字优美？文字都差不多,难道中原字会比我们的文字更好看？” Because there are this group of people to set the base, the Gu Shenwei article has not become the joke. 由于有这批人垫底,顾慎为的文章没有成为笑话。 Loulan prince captures first smoothly, except for that five chief's sons, all people was sincerely convinced to this result. 楼兰王子顺利夺得第一,除了那五名酋长之子,所有人对这个结果都心服口服。 Third is martial arts, most people choose the forfeit, only has the sons of three chiefs to publicize challenges to Dragon King. 第三项是武功,大多数人选择弃权,只有三名酋长的儿子要公开向龙王挑战。 On the day of the martial arts contest, the resident of entire city majority observes, first comes up the challenge chief's son, is holding dozens jin (0.5 kg) broadsword, just had lifted the top of the head, cut off four fingers, was defeated vociferously, another two Challenger immediately withdrawal. 比武那天,全城一多半的居民过来观战,第一名上来挑战的酋长之子,捧着数十斤重的大刀,刚刚举过头顶,就被斩断了四根手指,鬼哭狼嚎地败下阵去,另外两名挑战者马上退赛。 This should at the duel that Shi Guo leaves a good name for hundreds of generations, only lasted less than the quarter of an hour to announce finished. 这场本该在石国流芳百世的决斗,前后只耗时不到一刻钟就宣告结束。 Fourth is the wealth. 第四项是财富。 Prime Minister Yang Dou prepared certain only giant wood to fight in the royal palace entrance, wooer toward inside but actually gold, whose were many who was a victor. 丞相杨兜在王宫门口准备了若干只巨大的木斗,求婚者往里面倒黄金,谁的多谁就是胜利者。 Dragon King placed unfortunately finally, the gold that he brings insufficiently overspreads most bottom one, is poorer than the sons of several chiefs. 龙王不幸排在最后,他带来的金子不够铺满最底一层,比几位酋长的儿子还要寒酸。 Fights the rich substitution martial arts contest, becomes project that most receives to pay attention. 斗富取代比武,成为最受关注的项目。 After Dragon King is repulsed, son also dingy admitting defeat of fellow chiefs, among them richest, only adds the full half wood to fight, 龙王败退之后,各位酋长的儿子也灰溜溜的认输,他们当中最有钱的一位,也只添满半只木斗, The most keen competition occurred between Shangguan Fei, Prince of the Kang Kingdom and Loulan prince three people. 最激烈的竞争发生在上官飞、康国王子与楼兰王子三人之间。 Golden Roc Castle ships in the gold one after another, when the competition carries on the next day evening, packs the entire five large wine vessels, is about ten thousand jin (0.5 kg), Shangguan Fei defeats two strong matches finally, took the indisputable superiority to win an important point as. 金鹏堡一车一车地运来黄金,在比赛进行到第二天傍晚时,装满整整五只大斗,重达近万斤,上官飞终于击败两名强劲的对手,以无可争议的优势为自己赢得重要的一分。 All gold were sealed, becomes the emperor's son-in-law, the gold treats as the gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family, the competition failure, the golden original design presents. 所有黄金都被封存,成为驸马,黄金即当作聘礼,竞争失败,黄金原样奉还。 This is one lets everybody very satisfactory arrangement, because all people know, the emperor's son-in-law sooner or later will become King Shi Guo, the so-called gift from bridegroom's family to bride's family, will fall finally to own. 这是一个让大家都很满意的安排,因为所有人都知道,驸马早晚会成为石国国王,所谓聘礼,最后还是会落到自己手里。 This altogether four competitors surface, separately is family background honored Prince of the Kang Kingdom, literary talent best Loulan prince, martial arts strongest Dragon King, wealth many Shangguan Fei. 这样一共有四位竞争者脱颖而出,分别是家世尊贵的康国王子,文采最佳的楼兰王子,武功最强的龙王,财富最多的上官飞。 Also remaining last-- the project that moral character, this is also most difficult to evaluate, Yang Dou proposed that an excellent idea, 11 wooers, in addition King Shi Guo, altogether 12 people mutually vote, whose number of votes are most who is the moral winner. 还剩下最后一项——品性,这也是最难评定的项目,杨兜提出一个绝妙的主意,11位求婚者,再加上石国国王本人,一共12个人互相投票,谁的票数最多谁即是品性的优胜者。 His reason is very simple, can obtain the person who the competitor casts the yes vote, the moral character is definitely best 他的理由很简单,能取得竞争对手投赞同票的人,品性肯定最好 If this winner is one of the first four winners, then the emperor's son-in-law is he, if the winner is lost, Yang Dou will increase the project again, until having a competitor obtains two first. 如果这一项的赢家是前四位优胜者之一,那么驸马就是他,如果赢家旁落,杨兜会再增加项目,直到有一位竞争者获得两项第一。 The excellent place of this idea lies, to become emperor's son-in-law, the most hopeful four winners have to resort to various methods to receive to sell other seven losers, then, almost everybody are profitable, but Shi Guo actually does not need to spend 12 money. 这个主意的绝妙之处在于,为了成为驸马,最有希望的四位优胜者将不得不动用各种手段收卖其他七位失败者,如此一来,几乎人人都有利可图,而石国却不用花费12银子。 Yang Dou considered to all person three days of time, the public competition changes over to competion in secret immediately, Northern Court and special envoys in Central Plains two countries no longer conceals own goal, goes into action personally, met with fellow wooers, combined threats with inducements, garners votes for the person who one's own side supported. 杨兜给所有人三天时间考虑,公开的竞赛立刻转入暗中的比拼,北庭与中原两国的特使不再掩饰自己的目的,亲自出马,会见各位求婚者,威逼利诱,为己方支持的人拉票。 Gu Shenwei at a status of viewer, he wins the trust in both sides surface, therefore after first day ended, he knew all parties' number of votes. 顾慎为处在一个观察者的地位,他得到双方表面上的信任,所以第一天结束之后,他知道了各方的票数。 Very strange, Shangguan Fei and Loulan princes declared oneself draw to eight tickets, evenly matched, however puts together, has surpassed 12 tickets total. 非常奇怪,上官飞与楼兰王子都宣称自己拉到八票,势均力敌,但是加在一起,已经超出12票的总数。 Gu Shenwei knows, if this digit right, three people and are the same, simultaneously has made the voting commitment to Northern Court and Central Plains. 顾慎为知道,如果这个数字没错的话,就还有三个人与自己一样,同时向北庭与中原做出了投票承诺。 These two groups of contradictory digit were known by both sides quickly, therefore the new round strategic maneuvering starts, and is getting more and more undisguised. 这两组矛盾的数字很快被双方知晓,于是新一轮合纵连横开始,而且越来越露骨。 The Central Plains special envoy summoned Dragon King again, made an exception not to have the lengthy speech to talk circuitously, but directly soared the subject, „support of Central Plains to Great Snow Mountain important, Dragon King thinks that was knows.” 中原特使再次召见龙王,破例没有长篇大论地绕圈子,而是直奔主题,“中原对大雪山的支持有多重要,龙王想必是知道的。” Gu Shenwei nods. 顾慎为点头。 „I can trust Dragon King completely, yes? Dragon King follows in the recent several days very nearly Shangguan Fei, does not renege temporarily, casts the ticket to him?” “那我可以完全信任龙王,是吧？龙王最近几天跟上官飞走得很近,不会临时变卦,把票投给他吧？” „Great Snow Mountain knows that own component, will not present Yang Wei to Central Plains cloudy, said again, Golden Roc Castle forever is the Great Snow Mountain enemy, I am impossible to help Shangguan Fei.” Gu Shenwei very natural lies, because the Central Plains special envoy is also lying. “大雪山知道自己的份量,绝不会对中原阴奉阳违,再说,金鹏堡永远都是大雪山的敌人,我不可能帮助上官飞。”顾慎为很自然地撒谎,因为中原特使也在撒谎。 He Nu in carefully observed dozens own soldiers who Lin Tao has brought in secret, identifies ten extremely experts, is completely consistent with the list that Zhong Heng provides, these people fit out the ordinary guard desirably, little goes out extremely, not with person battle, but, reveals the clues, indicates them to have extraordinary skill, the average person is very ugly, actually cannot hide the truth from the eye of He Nu. 荷女已经在暗中仔细观察了林韬带来的几十名亲兵,从中辨认出十名绝顶高手,与钟衡提供的名单完全一致,这些人刻意装成普通护卫,极少外出,更不与人争斗,但是举手投足间,还是露出蛛丝马迹,表明他们身手不凡,普通人很难看出来,却瞒不过荷女的眼睛。 These ten experts are Wei Song send to assassinate Dragon King and Zhong Heng Assassin(s), Gu Shenwei feign to know nothing, conceals the truth with Lin Tao mutually. 这十名高手就是卫嵩派来暗杀龙王与钟衡的刺客,顾慎为佯装一无所知,与林韬互相隐瞒真相。 „Some people are playing the double dealings trick.” Lin Tao is narrowing the eye, look gloomy, like usually is not self-poise, „, if known by me, will not forgive him.” “有人在玩两面三刀的把戏。”林韬眯着眼睛,面色阴沉,不像平时那么镇定自若,“要是被我知道,绝不会饶过他。” „Present is very special period, Sir not suitable extreme, discovers these people, admonishes one well is.” “现在是非常时期,大人不宜过激,还是找出这几个人,好好劝教一番才是。” The Lin Tao nod agrees, but he is very discrete, is not willing to disclose the concrete list. 林韬点头表示同意,但他很谨慎,还是不肯将具体名单透露出来。 In comparison, trust of Shangguan Fei Dragon King little, he has thought that the position of this emperor's son-in-law is easy, has not thought that will have such big hindrance, „speaks the truth, Dragon King, you to the two sides pledged that voted?” 相比之下,上官飞对龙王的信任就少多了,他原以为这个驸马的位置手到擒来,没想到会有这么大的阻碍,“说实话,龙王,你向两边都承诺投票了吧？” „No.” Gu Shenwei still lied, „Central Plains abandons me not to attend, why do I also want to give him my ticket? Moreover, if Loulan prince becomes an emperor's son-in-law, definitely will accept the throne, submits willingly the Central Plains puppet, is disadvantageous to Great Snow Mountain.” “没有。”顾慎为仍然撒谎,“中原弃我不顾,我为什么还要把自己的一票给他？而且,楼兰王子要是成为驸马,肯定会接受王位,甘当中原的傀儡,对大雪山不利。” „Do you have the means to make King Shi Guo refuse really to yield?” Shangguan Fei asked frightenedly, he was also made by the statement of Dragon King muddled. “你真有办法让石国国王拒绝让位？”上官飞惴惴地问,他也被龙王的表态弄糊涂了。 „Un, but needs your coordination, you work as the emperor's son-in-law, I make Shi Guo continue maintain the independence, this is our transactions.” “嗯,但是需要你的配合,你当驸马,我让石国继续保持独立,这就是咱们的交易。” „Is. Oh, but the emperor's son-in-law is not good to work as, Wang Zhu said obviously all have arranged appropriately, how can also like this?” “是是。唉,可驸马也不好当,王主明明说一切都已安排妥当,怎么还会这样？” Swing who first exposes is Prince of the Kang Kingdom, he had drawn the ticket for himself very much earnestly, when discovered oneself unseconded is angry, therefore two take undeserved credit, wants to obtain enough repayment in money, even if were revealed did not blush, openly claimed, whose money are many, whose ticket he casts. 第一个曝露出来的摇摆者是康国王子,他曾经很认真地为自己拉过票,当发现自己无人支持的时候非常愤怒,所以两头邀功,想在金钱上得到足够的回报,即使被揭穿了也毫不脸红,公开声称,谁出的钱多,他就投谁的票。 Entire next day, struggles revolves Prince of the Kang Kingdom, after intimidating, money number/count who gradually increases price, the retinue busy ant of conveying a message, back and forth rushes about in several places likely. 整个第二天,明争暗斗都围绕着康国王子进行,威逼之后,是逐渐加码的钱数,传话的仆从像忙碌的蚂蚁,在几个地点之间来回奔波。 When to three, Northern Court and Golden Roc Castle obtains wins finally, promised at the amount unclear money, won Prince of the Kang Kingdom this vote, 8 : 7 are in the lead in Loulan prince. 时至三更,北庭与金鹏堡获得最终胜利,以数额不明的金钱许诺,赢得康国王子这一票,八比七领先于楼兰王子。 Gu Shenwei thought, Prince of the Kang Kingdom this act is extremely unwise, is provoking the disaster to own country, but he such mixes, attracts the attention of all people, actually gave Dragon King to provide the precious time, with deploy troops and form lines, prepares to greet the final decisive battle. 顾慎为觉得,康国王子此举极不明智,是在给本国招惹祸患,但他这么一搅和,吸引所有人的关注,却给龙王提供了宝贵的时间,用以排兵布阵,准备迎接最后的决战。 ( Sought collection to seek recommendation) （求收藏求推荐）
