Chapter 34 Will be calculated

Sun Shao didn't say anything. He took a melon from the next case, picked up the palm of the tree, condensed for a moment, and suddenly slapped on the melon. Just when everyone thought that the melon would crack in response and involuntarily retreated, they found that Sun Shao's palm stopped at the melon, and then put the melon in his hand.

Everyone is a little puzzled and doesn't know what he is doing.

"Please cut this melon." Sun Shao sent the melon to Cobrador. Cobrador took it suspiciously, took a knife from the side, and cut it down. As soon as he cut it in half, he let out a scream: "It's amazing."

Alexander was the first to surround him. As soon as he saw Cobrador's cut melon, he was stunned and covered his mouth.

The melon skin is intact, but the melon inside seems to have been smashed by a stick, broken into small pieces, and the juice flows horizontally.

Shapur and Wallag were also shocked.

"This is called Mian Palm. When you practice deep into the essence, a piece of paper is covered with a stone, and a palm is on the paper. The stone is broken and the paper is intact." Sun Shao looked at his palm proudly: "It is said that there are only three people in this ability in 30 years. One is Deng Zhan and Deng Ziyi, the Fenwei general of the State of Wei, the other is me, and the other is Tu Hu, the captain of my bodyguard. General Deng has retired for many years, and Tu Hu has not practiced for a long time. If he wants to do this, he is not as casual as me.

"It's amazing." Alexander looked at Sun Shao with admiration and stammered, "This must be the king's most precious skill, right?"

"If you want to learn, I can teach you, but if you can practice it or not, it depends on your creation." Sun Shao smiled and looked back at Cobrador: "The way to verify whether it was hurt by this kind of kung fu is very simple. Although the person who died from this kind of injury will not have trauma, the internal organs will be broken, just like this melon. Therefore, there will be blood stains in his mouth, corners of his eyes, ears and nostrils, even if he rubs it carefully. After that, it will inevitably leave traces.

As soon as Cobrador moved, he went to check Ma Ming's body, and then controlled it again. At this time, the monk closest to Ma Ming said, "I have checked that there is no blood in His Holiness's eyes, nose, mouth and ears, and there is no trace of being wiped."

Cobrador breathed a sigh of relief.

"I, Han people, also believe in ghosts and gods, and also believe in forbidden spells, especially many of my Yue people believe in witches, but I don't believe this." Sun Shao smiled and said, "There are many people who use witchcraft, but I haven't seen them before. Moreover, Venerable Ma Ming's Taoism is profound. I'm afraid that ordinary witchcraft can't hurt him, so we can put aside the witchcraft for the time being. He paused and turned back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Everyone couldn't help following his footsteps and turning their eyes, hoping that he could say a more convincing analysis.

Sun Shao walked back and forth twice and stopped in front of Cobrador: "Yours, are you the closest person around you?"

Cobrador nodded quickly: "Yes."

"You haven't left him for the past three days?"

"Yes." Cobrador nodded again: "Except for the time of venerable meditation. However, the venerable will not leave this room when he is meditating, and there are our people around the room, so it is impossible for strangers to enter and exit.

"Waragar, immediately send people to the room with Guishuang to check to see if there are any traces of footprints and so on." Sun Shao immediately ordered, and then said to Cobrador, "Can you remember everyone you have touched in three days?"

Cobrador thought for a little and nodded affirmatively. The venerable has been negotiating for more than half a month, and there are only a few people he has come into contact with.

"Have they been here today?" Sun Shao asked.

Cobrador shook his head without thinking: "No one came to visit the venerable today, and the venerable sat in meditation when he came back from the negotiation, and then something happened."

Sun Shao scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a wry smile, "So, this matter has really become a headless case." He turned to Shapur and Alexander and said, "What's your opinion?"

Alexander touched his chin and even shook his head. He couldn't think of anything. Shapur hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"Alas--" Sun Shao sighed and sat aside in a depressed voice. After a while, Wallag and Cobrador arranged someone to repay, and no footprints were found in the room. Sun Shao listened and sighed again. He was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said to Cobrador, "Your envoy, although I can't think of any way to kill the venerable, I think that the venerable, as a monk, has come all the way to Aksum, just to seek peace for the noble frost. He has now sacrificed his life for this great goal, and we can't let him die. I decided to cooperate with you according to your initial request to comfort the Venerable's spirit in heaven.

As soon as Cobrador heard it, his blood was boiling with excitement. He knew how much and worried Guishuang Wang Bo had for this negotiation. Although he gave this task to his most trusted Ma Ming, he knew that Guishuang had the worst strength among the four countries, and the possibility of achieving the goal in the end was very small. The negotiations these days also showed that his worries were not without first. See it clearly. Ma Ming was most worried about not being able to complete the task entrusted by King Guishuang. Now, what he didn't do in his life has come true because of his death, and Cobrador can't help but be very excited.

Kebrado knelt down in front of Sun Shao and kowtowed repeatedly: "The king is a compassionate Bodhisattva, and the venerable will not forget the king's kindness after reincarnation." Then he rushed to Ma Ming's body and cried, "Your Honor, do you hear me? The king has agreed to our request. You can close your eyes."

I don't know if there are really ghosts and gods. Before Cobrador's words fell, Ma Ming's wide eyes suddenly closed, and the horrible expression on his face slowly disappeared. All this was first seen by those monks, and then reminded Cobrador, followed by Sun Shao and others to know. They gathered around and looked at the remains of Venerable Ma Ming, who seemed to be very peaceful. They were inexplicably surprised one by one.

Xia Hourong reacted first. He sighed and said, "Your Holiness really has great cultivation. Although he can't say it now, he must also know who harmed him. Sooner or later, he will repay him."

Shapur couldn't help shivering. All this was too scary. Is Ma Ming's soul really not gone and listening to them here? He resisted the desire to twist his neck and take a peek, but a drop of sweat involuntarily slid down from his temples.

"Yes, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that it's not unrepaid. The time has not come." Sun Shao added a sentence and saluted Ma Ming's body again: "Your Honorable, you can rest in peace. Sooner or later, this revenge will be avenged. I know that you Buddhists do not advocate revenge, but I can't watch my respected friend die on my land, and I can't watch the enemy use such despicable means to provoke trouble. We will definitely realize the wish for peace in the world. He turned his head and looked at Alexander and Shapur: "I don't know if you two are willing to fulfill Ma Ming's wish."

Alexander didn't think about it, and replied, "I, Rome, am willing to do my best to promote peace in the world. Anyone who provokes war is the enemy of my Romans. I will definitely fight with him to the end." After saying that, he exchanged a look with Sun Shao and looked at Shapur at the same time.

Shapur's mouth was bitter. Of course, he knew that he was their common enemy. This four-nation alliance was actually a combination of Yue, Guishuang and Rome to curb the rise of the Sassanids. But at this moment, how could he dare to say that he wanted to start a war and conquer the other three countries? He licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "I am also very willing to realize the wish of Venerable Ma Ming. I hope there will be no more war in the world and there will be no more bloodshed."

Sun Shao nodded heavily and patted Shapur on the shoulder: "I believe you, Prince Shapur. Those despicable people killed Ma Ming with such despicable means just to provoke our incompatibility. We can't let them do what they want. We want to show them that our four countries are sincere and we all hope that the world will be peaceful. Don't you think so?"

Shapur looked at Sun Shao's hand on his shoulder with squinting eyes. He sweated coldly and subconsciously felt the huge pain in his shoulder. It seemed that he had heard the sound of bone cracking, but he was embarrassed to get out of the way. He could only stand there with a smile on his face. His smile looked very strange. His face was in bursts of **, but he couldn't see a trace of smile. He was seen by Cobrador, who just raised his head, and couldn't help but be suspicious again.

"Of course, of course." Shapur finally listened to Sun Shao's words, hurriedly bowed and gave a salute, taking the opportunity to give way to Sun Shao's hand. Although Sun Shao's hand left, his shoulder was still faintly painful.

"Your envoy, what do you think?" Sun Shao turned his head and looked at the tearful and smiling Cobrador: "Now we can't find the murderer. We can only declare that the death of the venerable is a normal death, so as not to cause unease in the world. As for the murderer, don't worry, we will continue to investigate secretly in the future, and we will not let him escape punishment.

Cobrador has no other way but to agree with Sun Shao. Several people discussed it and explained the reason to the monks. Although the monks were a little embarrassed and felt that it was against the Buddha's commandment not to lie, they had to think that if this matter was poked out, King Guishuang would inevitably break away from the League of the Four Congresses, which might provoke countless fights, and they had to do so.

Immediately, Sun Shao asked Shapur and Cobrador to declare that although Ma Ming's death was a little strange, there was no conspiracy. Shapur didn't want to, but Sun Shao said that the other party's biggest purpose was to frame my Yue, and the second was to frame you, Sasanne, because everyone knew that if Yue and Guishuang turned against each other, then Sassan would be the biggest gainer. He obviously wanted to plant the stolen goods on your Sasanne's head. Who will declare if you declare? If you don't want to, I'll go. I can't wait.

When he said this, Shapur didn't want to say anything. He had to force his scalp and Cobrador to go out with the crowd to make a statement. Later, in order to show his sincerity, he had to use Ahura? Azda swore in the name that the Sassanids would help the Guishuang people. As he said, he felt that the back spine was cold, and the shoulders patted by Sun Shao seemed to be a little unconscious.

Sun Shao and Alexander immediately issued a statement, saying that they would strive to create a peaceful environment for the people of the world, so that they can live and work in peace and live a good life. These statements soon spread throughout the city of Aksumu with the monks and people onlookers, and with the footsteps of merchants in all directions. As for the statement of adding fuel and vinegar, there were many versions of them, among which the strangeness was not enough.

The most unlucky thing is Wallag. He was scolded by Sun Shao for his poor guarding work. Although he did not deprive him of his throne, he was deprived of his rule outside Aksum City. Wallaga was so angry that he did not dare to speak. He also knew that if Sun Shao's matter was not handled well, then That's all for the four kings' alliance. Guishuang Wang Bo will definitely attack, and at least withdraw from the alliance. This responsibility is not small. Sun Shao only reduced the scope of his territory without depriving him of his throne, which is already light.

Although he thought so, he was very dissatisfied with the result. As soon as the matter was over, he followed Shapur's post office. As soon as the two entered the inner room, Wallag sank his face, was furious, and kicked over the table. The exquisite porcelain on the table fell into pieces.

"Is that how you helped me? Did you do it without saying hello in advance, which made me ashamed in front of so many people?

Shapur jumped away quickly and looked at the porcelain fragments on the ground. His face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. He didn't bother to explain to Wallage. He just watched Wallage vent. When Wallage finished venting, he frowned and said, "Do you think this is Sun Shao's punishment for you? Do you think you can be this king safely without this? Why don't you think that this is the game made by Sun Shao to frame me and you?

Wallag looked at Shapur with squinting eyes and gasped: "Tell me, did you do this?"

"Do you believe it?" Shapur kicked open the broken porcelain on the ground, hit a chair and sat down: "As you can see, Ma Ming is not hurt at all."

Warager stared at Shapur for a moment. He was a little uncertain. He asked again and again, but Shapur just didn't say anything. He rubbed his shoulders from time to time, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip water. Obviously, he was in a very bad mood. Varaga stopped when he saw it was good and calmed down. After all, he didn't want to be Sun Shao's follower. Sooner or later, he will betray Sun Shao. At present, it's just a matter of patience for two more days.

"What should I do next?"

"This king of Yue is not easy to deal with." Shapur finished drinking the glass of wine in one gulp, pinched his eyebrows with his hand, and sighed, "Originally, Ma Ming is dead. The biggest suspicion is Yue Guo. With a little guidance, Aksum City can be in chaos, and the good reputation he has accumulated these days will be gone. Unexpectedly, he took us to make this nonsense statement. Instead, it detoured us in. Humph, he thought I didn't know what he was thinking? Even if there is no such thing, he will also benefit the noble frost people, otherwise how to deal with us Sassanians. It's just... He reacted so fast that I didn't prepare for it. The fire hadn't started yet, but a little fire was extinguished by him. Tut..."

Shapur shook his head while admiring. His face was uncertain, as if he was a little depressed and excited. He ignored Varag and just said to himself there. Varaga was bored for a while, so he had to get up and leave. After thinking about it, he turned to Sun Shao's palace again and told Sun Shao about Shapur's reaction. Sun Shao didn't say much, but comforted him that the reduction of his territory this time was also to give Guishuang people an excuse, and he would make up for it when he found an opportunity in the future, so that he could calm down a little. Wallag didn't believe it at all, and he didn't care, but he had to look grateful. He thanked him again and again, and then returned to his house.

After Alexander returned to the post hall, he was still very excited. From time to time, he waved his palms twice, imitating Sun Shao's action at that time. He thought it was amazing. How could he smash the inside without any injury on the outside? But it happened in front of his eyes, and he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it. In addition, Ma Ming's face changed after listening to Sun Shao's words, which also made him sigh that the world was really strange.

"I want to learn this magical ability." Alexander said to Quintus with great interest, "I want to learn. His Royal Highness the King of Yue said that as long as I am willing to learn, he can teach me."

Quintus smiled and said, "Is it useful for the emperor to learn this?"

Alexander raised his eyebrows: "Why is it useless? Hasn't His Royal Highness the King of Yue learned it?

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue was not His Royal Highness the King of Yue at the beginning. At that time, he was just a person with no life safety. In order to protect himself, he needed to practice martial arts hard, so he had good martial arts skills. But Your Majesty, do you learn these to go to the arena to fight with those gladiators?

"Then I can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, just like Acathus, to become a hero on the battlefield." Alexander turned his eyes and said, "Doesn't His Royal Highness often go to the battlefield to fight in person now? As you said, his queen is also a brave female general, and his sister is also an enemy. Am I not as good as a woman?

"Your Majesty..." Quintus couldn't laugh or cry. Alexander and Sun Shao have been together for a long time. They not only became as lustful as Sun Shao, but also as aggressive as Sun Shao. However, in his opinion, Alexander only learned the surface of Sun Shao, but did not learn Sun Shao's most advantageous skills. - Sun Shao's greatest ability is not to fight in battle, but his ability to defeat the enemy quietly. For example, in the death of Ma Ming, Quintus believes that this must be a ghost made by the Sassanids. The purpose is to destroy the alliance against the Sassanids. As long as the noble frost people and the Yue are evil, the Sassanids will be safe behind their backs, and they can deal with the Romans wholeheartedly - the Yue is too far away from Rome, and they can only support some supplies. If you really want to fight, you have to rely on the Roman army to fight against the Sassanids. Alexander only saw the economic difficulties of the Romans. He did not see that even with sufficient supplies, the Romans may not have the upper hand - but this conspiracy was resolved by Sun Shao in a blink of an eye and became a favorable condition for promoting the alliance.

Although he knew that this was a good thing, Quintus was still worried about the future of Rome. The reason was very simple. Rome's weakness was caused by the internal collapse. The defeat on the battlefield was just a sign, and Alexander obviously did not see this.

Quintus sighed with some regret. For the first time, he had some doubts about his actions to help Alexander. Judging from the comprehensive ability, Alexander's mother, Momia, was obviously better than Alexander. If she was here, perhaps more You can grasp the point, instead of just knowing how much to help like Alexander.

"Are we going to inform all of Rome about the situation here?" Quintus vaguely reminded. He

"Rome? You mean my mother, right? Alexander's red face sank with excitement, and his waving palms fell weakly. He turned his head and glanced at Quintus: "Do you think I haven't made any progress?"

Quintus quickly said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. Your Majesty has made great progress during this period. In the words of their Han people, you are really a thousand miles away. I admire your majesty's wisdom very much. When Quintus saw that Alexander's face had calmed down a little, he carefully advised, "It's just that after all, Your Majesty doesn't have enough strength to get rid of your mother now. We also need to show some respect for her more or less. And after you have been in Rome for so long, she must be very worried about you and look forward to your peace. Breathe."

"Don't worry, she knows the news of Aksum City." Alexander curled his lips and strode into the house, leaving Quintus far behind. Quintus was stunned for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and had to trot all the way to follow.

In the Guishuang messenger post hall, Cobrador knelt beside Ma Ming's body and cleaned Ma Ming's hair with tears in his eyes. Ma Ming has been busy with negotiations these days, and he has no time to clean up his scalp. His shiny scalp has had short hair, but now he has passed away. Cobrador doesn't want him to see the Buddha like this. He wants to clean his hair for him. He handled it very carefully, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping Ma Ming.

With the gentle sliding of the razor, the white short hair fell one after another, and the scalp that had lost its temperature became clean again, but in Cobrador's eyes, the holy light no longer flashed, and the great Ma Ming had left him forever.

"Ding", with a soft sound, the razor in Cobrador's hand seemed to touch something. Cobrador looked at it with hazy tears and found that there was a drop of dry blood on Ma Ming's newly shaved scalp. Among the blood, a shiny thing loomed.

Kebrado was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He quickly and gently put down his razor, held Ma Ming's head in his arms, and looked closer. Then he found that it was a very thin needle, which was stabbed in the sunken hair nest behind Ma Ming's head, almost all deep into Ma Ming's head, leaving only a little needle tail. If it hadn't been for him for the horse. Ming shaved his hair. Even if he touched it with his hand, he may not be able to touch the needle hidden in the hair pile.

He quickly found the tool and took a lot of effort to pull it out carefully.

A finger-long thin needle is in the eyes, shaking the strange light in the light.

Cobrador involuntarily took a breath of cold air.
