Chapter 117: A War of Tongues
"You're still crying and crying and crying fart! Why don't you kneel down and thank the Holy Grace!" General Dou said angrily.
And the people of Fangcheng cried more and more sadly, they paid the price of blood to escape from the demon land, just like a group of lonely souls and wild ghosts returned to the Yang world, and they regained their human appearance, and then drove them back, how can people accept it?
"A bunch of untouchables who don't know what to do is simply insulting to heaven! Archers obey orders! Tie me into hedgehogs who cry the most!"
"General Dou!" Tang Baiwei stopped, "That's it, let them be." Leave five hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry to wait here, and when they have crossed the abyss, burn the bridge. ”
Tang Baiwei suddenly remembered something, "Who will tell the general, an hour and a half ago, why there was a fire here, the fire seems to be not small." ”
No one answered. Not many people know the cause and effect of the bridge fire, but more than 200 people are core members of the sect, and many people still know about it. It's just that this Dingbei General is not a good official, nor is he a good person, if he tells the matter as it is, it will definitely be unfavorable to Zhang Jiabao, the little Engong. Anyone with a modicum of conscience understands that this must not be spoken.
Without waiting for Tang Baiwei to get angry, Shi Ji stepped forward and explained: "Back to the general's words, the fire broke out before on the bridge. ”
"Ben would have known that the fire had started on the bridge, and the bridge had not yet been built at that time. Tell me how the fire started and how the bridge was saved. ”
The atmosphere was a little weird. Shi Ji felt the hostility of the people around him, and also caught a glimpse of Avril's threatening gaze. He knew that things couldn't be done too desperately, and if Zhang Jiabao was exposed, even if he was favored by the prince, he would have no place to stand.
The exact cause of the fire is not yet known, but it is said that a man was so busy laying the bridge that he did not place the torch properly, so that he burned the rope. ”
"Oh? What about later. ”
"Later, fortunately, one of the foreign masters knew how to fly against the wind and a water control mage, and they put out the fire in time and re-led a few big ropes, otherwise we would have become the souls of the abyss. ”
"Really?"
"Nothing is false. ”
"Well, beyond this ocean, you really can't underestimate it, no matter how big or small the country is, there are many capable people. When will there be such young talents in our army? Tang Baiwei looked at the white people and pondered to himself.
"These things can be explained in a few words, why has no one replied for a long time? What are you hesitating about? Or are you hiding something?" Tang Baiwei's voice was like a bell, and his eyes were like copper bells glaring at Shi Ji.
"With all due respect, I can get out of the sea of suffering, and I was caught up in the king's division, I don't know what the road ahead is, I am worried, and I am even more afraid of the general's prestige, so I dare not say more. Shi Ji bowed down.
"Your Excellency, please listen to me. Avril interjected at this time, "We have lived in it for more than two months, and for some reason, we have established a teacher-student relationship with a few talented children. Now we hope to take these children away, create the best resources and conditions for them, and train them to become excellent magicians with international influence in Dakangguo. ”
Tang Baiwei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "It's rare for you to have such a broad mind. This is an example of friendship among all nations and a gospel to human civilization.
He faced the people of Fangcheng who were crying unstoppably, "What kind of blessed children are they, come out and let Ben General take a look." I will definitely repay the saint and give you all a young man!"
Avril happily beckoned to Huang Yunqing, and Huang Yunqing was surprised, pulling Yu Man and Su Qijingli over. Yu Man hugged the baby, and Su Qi Jingli held Zhang Jiabao with four arms. This time, no one stood in the way.
"These are all ordinary people?" Tang Baiwei put his hands behind his back and looked at the few children walking towards him like torches.
Shi Ji replied: "Lord Hui, there is no big background, except for that woman, she is the descendant of the former head of the Infinite Sect, Shen Yinzi. ”
"Is there such a thing? Then why didn't she have her name before?" Tang Baiwei suddenly looked back, and Shi Ji was frightened.
"It's negligence under it, it's thought under it, it's thought..."
"Hmph, I'll punish you later. ”
Tang Baiwei ignored Shi Ji, with a kind smile on his face, and took two steps forward to prepare to comfort Huang Yunqing and them. But his smile quickly stiffened, for he sensed something strange about the sleeping baby, and even more strange about the dry wood-like child who was being held in his arms. And the strange-looking twin Su Qi Jingli is nothing to him who is well-informed.
"The demon bloodline in your body is not weak. Tang Baiwei looked at Su Qi Jingli and said, "Where is your hometown, who are your parents?"
"We don't know, we haven't seen each other since we were kids. Su Qi said in a loud voice.
"Hmm. Let's have a chance to visit Yamalan's house. It's not easy for the brothers and sisters to grow up like this, and you may be able to find your roots there. ”
Tang Baiwei walked slowly, looked around Huang Yunqing, took her hand like a kind old father, patted it gently, and said to Avril: "This female doll, you can accept it as an apprentice, but it is best to return it to Shen Yinzi to take care of herself." That old boy is impersonal at all, and I need to find time to influence him. ”
"This swaddling child, and this kid," Tang Baiwei grabbed Zhang Jiabao's seriously molted blue-black arm, "What is their origin?"
"Lord Hui, this baby was adopted from an ordinary family on behalf of the sect leader Fu Yaozi. And the young man was taken to Wuliang Mountain by several hunters to take refuge, and where did he come from, he didn't ask in detail at the time, only that he was from the south. ”
"Hmm. The two of them were going to be taken away, looking for a famous teacher in the world, and cultivating them to become the pillars of my dynasty. Mrs. Ai, are you okay?" Tang Baiwei suddenly asked Avril.
Avril panicked suddenly, "No, you can't take him away!" Realizing that she had made a little gaffe, she softened, "Your Excellency, that's right, I like this student very much, his thinking potential and love for magic are rare. So please do it. ”
"Haha, okay, but Ben will also take a fancy to this kid, so I'm willing to exchange something with you. What do you think of the reserve officer of the second-level branch of the Demon Association, the intern assistant of the Holy Magister? ”
Avril shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness." But our family doesn't need that. ”
"Don't think about it anymore, Ben will know that you fledgling young magicians would love to get this opportunity......
"Your Excellency, General!" Avril said excitedly, "Please respect the spirit of contract in our Western countries! Just as the old proverb in your country 'a teacher for a day, a father for life', in our country, the teacher-student relationship, whether verbally or written, has both moral cause and effect, but also legal constraints! Unless he no longer needs me as a teacher, I will have to fulfill the obligations of a teacher, which is based on maintaining the sanctity of the educational cause of the magical power!"
"Hmph, it's quite a mouthful. Tang Baiwei sneered.
"Then what if it is related to the internal affairs of this dynasty? My emperor is concerned about the development of the society, and has been looking for talents to be cultivated, in order to open up the situation of the country's magic industry. Ben Jiang felt that this child was very good, and the Holy One would be happy to see it. ”
Avril smiled, "The Mitchell family, Your Excellency should have heard of it, the representative of the Feathera royal family. Our family has also been searching the world for gifted children to pass on their magical ideas. Because of the excellent external student resources, more than half of them have been divided between the Chemeni and the Salonian Federation, and monopolizing the source of students in a new magical country is equivalent to monopolizing the power to build the country's magic industry in the future, as well as the country's future magic market. We, Fisya, also want a piece of the pie. ”
"So when I get older, this kid is also about the political purpose of the country. Of course, the wishes of your country and your country are the same, and in the future, if he succeeds in his studies, he will ultimately benefit from your country's magic industry. We have top-notch magicians and extremely rich magical resources, and we will continue to maintain friendly and harmonious relations with your country. Your Excellency General doesn't deny this, right?"
"You're right. Tang Baiwei said with a blushing face, "Then wait for him to wake up and see how he chooses." Hmph, Ben will not lack time. I'll see what you can do to fix that bridge. Tang Baiwei said and walked towards the edge of the cliff, and two teams of soldiers opened the way for him.
Shi Ji sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good. There are a lot of flaws in the lies he told just now, and he will definitely see the clues.
At this time, a hurried voice came from above-
"Where is the prince?"
The shouter found Tang Baiwei's figure in the crowd, hurriedly landed, and knelt down in front of him on one knee. is a middle-aged general, not wearing a battle helmet, and looks a little gray.
"Why did you come, where did you go in the middle of the day? Tang Baiwei looked at his lieutenant general and said dissatisfied.
"Lord Wang! Ji Lan's two saints were all captured by that birdman! Deserve to die, he didn't protect the two saints!" the general cried with his head down. The birdman he said was really a birdman, with a pair of big wings on his back, and his claws were like eagle hooks, and he was fighting with Ji Sheng and Lan Sheng in the sky at that time.
The lieutenant general happened to bump into him on the way to this place, so he flew up to help, but the birdman lifted off the helmet on his head with one claw, and slapped his wings on the door.
When he woke up, the Birdman and the Two Saints were gone, and only some items left by the Two Saints were found nearby.
Tang Baiwei heard that the two senior brothers had been arrested, so he had to take it himself, and went to look for it overnight. The deputy general, as one of the few masters of the Holy Realm, was also called. accompanied by an old servant of Tang Baiwei, who was not outstanding in appearance, but he stepped lightly into the sky.
Tang Baiwei didn't have time to explain anything, and General Dou was hesitating about how to arrange it at the moment. The envoy from the capital in the tent came out to urge him to return to the camp, saying that he must bring people back to Beijing immediately, and hinted that the queen mother was bored in the palace, and she wanted to hear interesting stories about Yingzhou and meet the remnants of Yingzhou.
General Dou had no choice but to do what he said. According to Tang Baiwei's order, the soldiers drove thousands of people to the bridge, and there was little blood in the process. Under the slaughter of the swords, the people of Fangcheng reluctantly went to the bridge.
Someone stood on the edge of the cliff, screamed angrily, and jumped. Several people followed suit, holding hands in a row, and fell with a sound. The procession that descended into the abyss came to a standstill, standing on the bridge or on the edge of the cliff with a begging face, crying.
"What's the matter if you kill them all, the archers obey the order!" General Dou was unmoved.
Yu Man paused, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then handed the baby back to Huang Yunqing, looked at Zhang Jiabao and said, "Take care of my junior brother for me." His destiny is to create light, and darkness is for him to be dispelled. After saying that, he resolutely turned around and crossed the formation formed by hundreds of archers.
"Why are you crying? Go home! The chariots are still there, how did you come here, how do you go back? Ten years, twenty years, Yingzhou will become a holy place!"
Yu Man casually pulled away a woman who was hesitant to jump down. The moment he stepped onto the bridge, his body, which was less than five feet tall, looked a little tall.
