Chapter 408 Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains
"Stay for seven days in the Valley of Hell." After Brother Hui said that, he glanced at his father again.
When I heard the content of this competition in the palace, my father's face was not very good.
"What does it mean? Valley of Hell? Are the people from the Imperial Parliament Hall sick? This is not a general who will be selected to kill the enemy. Is it necessary to do so?" Mu Yingbao was exploded as soon as he heard this.
She had heard of the Valley of Hell, which was a grand canyon more than 170 miles away from the capital.
There are many tigers, wolfs and beasts inside, and the terrain is also very dangerous.
Even the villagers and hunters nearby dared to chop wood and hunt on the outside, and did not dare to go deeper.
Every year, nine out of ten people who go in have not come out.
The reason why people who know that it is so dangerous but still have to take risks is that the family really needs money, such as if their son wants to marry a wife and cannot get a betrothal gift, or if their family members are seriously ill and have no money to treat.
Because the price of tiger skin is relatively high, I am lucky to meet a ginseng plant that has aged, and these two are deep in the Valley of Hell.
Someone once dug up a thousand-year-old ginseng, used the money to marry his son and bought a few acres of land, which was enviable.
"Did you agree to do that? What if it was a conspiracy? What if the people from the Yuzongtang colluded with someone and set up a trap? The biggest danger in that kind of place is not the environment and the ferocious beast, don't you know?" Mu Yingbao and Xue Wenyu were anxious.
"Mother, don't blame your father. My father asked his son for his opinion, but his son did not want to abstain. Zhou Yunhao and Zhou Yunfeng had already abstained from the new king on the spot.
The son is not afraid of being ridiculed, but his father and grandfather have died unjustly, and the son does not want them to be ridiculed and humiliated again.
My son also knows what he will face soon. I remember my mother said that as long as he is willing, he can turn his disadvantages into advantages that are beneficial to him. My son believes that with the help of his father, there will be no problem this time." Brother Hui was full of happiness at this time. What else is there to be scary about having a father and mother who loves him like this?
"Do you want to be the dog king?" Mu Yingbao understood Brother Hui's decision, which made her feel even more distressed. He should have been carefree at this age, but he had to face such a cruel thing.
"Mother, can't you change the appropriate metaphor?" Brother Hui protested in a coquettish manner.
"Dog King?" Tao Qingyuan was confused when he heard it.
Actually, Xue Wenyu didn’t understand, so why did he use the word “Dog King”?
A dog is not a dog? No matter how powerful it is, it is a dog! Isn’t this a swearing person?
Brother Hui looked at his father and smiled, "There is a large, more ferocious dog named Mastiff. In order to get the strongest mastiff, the people who raise it will lock the young mastiff in the cellar and give only a small amount of food. In order to survive, all the mastiffs will compete for food, and the last one that lives is the king of the mastiffs.
This is a legend my mother told. Although it is a legend, it is actually not the same as the rules this time. The fittest survives the inferior and eliminates the inferior!
It's a bit cruel and bloody, but it's actually the most effective one."
Brother Hui’s speech was very relaxed, but the adults present felt even more uncomfortable after listening to it.
Yes, this metaphor is indeed inappropriate, but what Brother Hui said is true.
This time, re-selecting the new king is indeed a difficult task for Yu Zongtang.
Since we want to get rid of our opponents despite our blood and family affection in order to compete for the throne, we can simply give everyone a chance, a chance to fight to the death.
You should know that in the incident in the Valley of Hell this time, the one who won An Ran would not be a fool, nor was it because of good methods, nor because of the help of someone with high martial arts skills around you.
Therefore, the new monarch selected in this way is definitely not just a cruel and cruel monarch.
If you don’t have the courage to participate, just abstain from the right place!
Mu Yingbao felt that people who can come up with the whole idea were indeed talented.
"I still can't participate? Are there no doctors allowed to lead such a sinister thing?" Mu Yingbao asked.
Brother Hui shook his head, "Mother, women cannot go, otherwise they will cheat once they are discovered and will be disqualified from running."
Mu Yingbao was so angry that he sweared in his heart, but he knew that he could not be willful in this matter.
"Okay, I understand." Mu Yingbao understood that no matter how worried he was about this, it would be useless if he didn't want to agree.
There is no turning back when the arrow is drawn. Since that is the case, instead of worrying about the child with a sigh, it is better to think carefully about what can be done for the child.
Mu Yingbao took off his apron and left the kitchen.
Brother Hui was worried about keeping up, but was stopped by Xue Wenyu.
"Father?" Brother Hui was puzzled.
"Don't you know her very well?" Xue Wenyu asked.
She walked away, and she must have been looking for a place to shed tears with sadness!
Mu Yingbao did not go back to his house, but entered Xue Wenyu's study, grinding ink while thinking.
As soon as Xue Wenyu left the kitchen, Lin Chuan outside the door told him that his wife had entered the study.
When Xue Wenyu heard this, he looked in the direction of his room, changed his mind and left the yard. Before leaving, he told Lin Chuan to stay at the door of the room and not let others enter the study.
At noon, when Mu Yingbao remembered that he should make lunch, when he walked into the kitchen, he saw that the three young and old had washed the vegetables, killed the fish, and cooked the rice.
It seems that if she can't come again, this Master San plans to make lunch by himself.
"Oh, who wants to take care of this? Then I'll sit and wait for the meal." Mu Yingbao was in a better mood and started joking with them.
"Mother, stop teasing. Let the three of us take care of the ingredients, isn't it a waste of the ingredients?" Brother Hui finally felt relieved when he saw his mother laughing.
Mu Yingbao smiled and stepped forward, pulled his apron and tied it, and looked at the prepared ingredients.
Brother Hui took advantage of his father's walk out and complained to Mu Yingbao in a low voice. "When my father killed the fish, he broke the bitter gallbladder. When he heard from his great-grandfather, he threw the fish and asked someone to take another one from the kitchen.
Then, my father didn't let us say it."
"Then you didn't tell him, I have a way to deal with it?" Mu Yingbao asked casually.
Brother Hui was very innocent; "I said that, but my father still insisted on changing the fish."
Mu Yingbao was speechless when he heard this. He had already put down his figure. Why would he care if he would be laughed at by her when he was doing these chores in the kitchen? It was such a waste!
The fish originally planned to make chrysanthemum fish, but the very active Prince Xue had already cut the fish body with a knife and applied salt.
Although he killed the fish and broke the bitter gallbladder, Xue Wenyu has not been in vain in the kitchen these days, and has actually learned some things!
Brother Hui wanted to complain, but saw his father coming back, so he had to give up.
After the meal was ready, Mu Yingbao found that these three people were not in a good mood to eat.
