Volume 1 [Flame Chapter] Dragon Death Chapter 168 Dragon Qing (45): Scarlet Shang
He never imagined that these twisted, weird, and strange foods could bring warmth and satiety to human beings. Everyone's face is flooded with food satisfaction, as if in this world, only these weird foods can bring people a little satisfaction.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty said that the hot pot of today's banquet is a delicacy of our country since ancient times. If you have been in contact with Westerners in Nandu all year round, you must not be able to appreciate the deliciousness and mystery here. Therefore, you can choose whatever you want to add to the delicious food, and as long as there is something in the palace, it will satisfy your taste buds today. Zhou Xing said respectfully and handed a menu to Luo Heng.
"It turns out that this is a hot pot, and I am a little lonely. I often live in the southern capital of the empire, and I don't even know that there is such a delicious practice in the empire. Luo Heng pretended to compliment, although he no longer had an aversion to these foods in his heart, he still had a strong interest in this food, and the officials and generals who feasted on it had some disgust.
Long Qing will inevitably bring disaster in the future, this is Luo Heng's true thoughts after seeing Ye Gu watch "Dragon Book", and Ye Gu also got the answer he wanted in the Southern Dragon Realm.
These Luo Heng also saw all of them.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister. ”
Seeing Luo Heng staring at the menu in a daze, Zhou Xing still urged with a respectful smile: "What else do you want to order?"
"Zhou Guan, can you take it all?" Luo Heng said and handed back the menu.
"Naturally, Prime Minister, you are in good health, and if you want to eat more, that is also a blessing for the Empire. Zhou Xing flattered, took the menu back, and slowly retreated backwards.
The smoke of the Empire, filled with water vapor and various delicacies, seems to fill the satisfaction in the hearts of every human being, and to celebrate the bright future of the Empire.
Long Qing, the great ritual after three days, will bring a new era of light, darkness, or light and darkness in the Flame Empire, a country with deep roots with the dragon race.
Looking at the pot of bright red soup that could no longer see any other colors, Luo Heng no longer had the same feeling of nausea as before, on the contrary, the delicious food in these hot red soup not only brought him taste enjoyment, but also a sense of restlessness all over his body.
In the evening, when it began to become a little cool, after receiving these things soaked in bright red through the taste buds and then sent into the stomach through the esophagus, I didn't feel a little cold, but a kind of warmth.
I don't know if it's the effect of the imperial liquor, or the impetus of these red and spicy soups, the scene in front of Luo Heng's eyes seems to be blurring.
Although he could still see the generals of the empire toasting each other, he could still see the little emperor sitting at the top of the hall, and he could still see the eunuchs in the palace serving the "adults" in their mouths.
But at this moment, there was no one else around him but him.
It was as if he, the prime minister of the empire, was like a real loner, and no one came to greet him during the period when he sat alone.
"It's no wonder that this empire always puts the military first, and even officials at the prime minister level always have to be subordinate to those generals. Moreover, the previous prime minister had just been imprisoned, and now his life and death are unknown. If someone is willing to make friends with the next prime minister, it may just be an act of death. Luo Heng laughed at himself, and continued to use his wide palm to grip the twisted tentacles in the turbid redness in front of him, and sent them into his mouth to grind and chew them.
He didn't seem to have the slightest strange emotion for them, as if he had blended in with them.
The fanaticism for dragons still spreads throughout this empire. With the exception of a few people, all of the rest had a natural illusion of the arrival of the dragons.
People are always accustomed to growth and development, and even to continuous high-speed growth, but nothing is eternal, and no kind of growth can last for thousands of years.
Once these people are no longer able to adapt to stagnant growth, such as human beings naturally growing old and then growing old, they will frown, go crazy day and night, and even believe in some mysterious power, which will lead to a terrifying outcome.
After only four days of being forced to occupy the position of prime minister, Luo Heng checked all the financial parts belonging to the empire, and the current situation of the empire was also as he had expected when he was in the southern capital.
Under the bright red and blazing carnival, there is an extremely thick undercurrent.
The Flame Empire, a country that is accustomed to military affairs all year round, is always inferior to those countries in the western part of the continent that are based on commerce when they need to develop and cultivate when they expand to the extreme.
To this day, the Empire's finances are still focused on the purchase of military equipment, and just the day before yesterday, the New Guard completed a military order of nearly 20,000 Yan coins, but the Imperial Treasury could not continue to do so.
The gold coins of these empires have not been lost inexplicably, nor have they been squandered by the selfish desires of the little emperor or anyone, they are just paying for the inherent policies of the Flame Empire, and thus disappear completely.
If Longqing is carried out smoothly, Luo Heng must still be fully sure that the financial problems that will collapse in the future of the empire will be nipped in the bud, and he is confident enough to make the Flame Empire the only great empire in the world.
But once Long Qing fails, or is released in the dark, in addition to the destruction of the empire, there are countless lives to the final end.
Luo Heng was worried, the hazy feeling in his eyes gradually took over, and the drowsy feeling in his brain gradually occupied any corner of his consciousness.
The light in his eyes was fading away with the unknown sleepiness, and the darkness was quietly reappearing, eroding his vision.
After a long time of unknown time, Luo Heng suddenly felt that the things in front of him were still clear, and everything around him that was originally hazy gradually faded like a gauze scarf covering it, and gradually became comfortable.
"Hmm, are you dreaming?" Luo Heng muttered to himself, looking around.
In the hall that had been overcrowded before, he was the only one left at this time. The little emperor not far away, as well as the imperial generals and officials around him, were completely missing at this moment.
Seeing this, Luo Heng did not panic, but with a trace of calmness.
The empty hall was perhaps not a sign of danger, and even in his dreams, as he had guessed, he didn't feel a trace of worry.
What is the effect of the dream attack?
Thinking of this, Luo Heng tried to get up and check the situation around and outside.
However!
"Why?" Luo Heng exclaimed.
He found that his hands, legs, and even his entire body seemed to be controlled by a mysterious and strange force, and he could not move at all, and even his head, after spinning around just now, suddenly became as if it had been frozen, and he could not move at all.
"Everyone who has seen Scarlet must die, including me!"
This was not Luo Heng's voice, but he heard it very clearly under this silence.
It was as if this voice did not come from the outside world, nor from inside the hall, but from the depths of Luo Heng's heart.
Just as he was staring ahead, about to ask the word "who", the scarlet soup in the copper pot above the blazing flame in front of him began to tumble uncontrollably like boiling lava.
It's as if the devil is bathing in it, and it's as if Satan is stirring it invisibly.
Even if Luo Heng didn't believe in the Lord and didn't want to admit the unknown gods, the scarlet soup didn't care about his fearful thinking, forming two tentacles that poured out in the direction of Luo Heng's body.
Behind the tentacles was a bright red body, like a demon's child, with evil eyes open, and the corners of the mouth seemed to exude some kind of strange smile.
It's a call from hell!
Luo Heng's first feeling was this.
Thinking of this, Luo Heng couldn't stop struggling and calling, but his body was still as immobile as if it was frozen in ice, and his throat seemed to be poured with lead water, and he couldn't make any sound at all.
He could only watch this demon from hell with his eyes.
Let it spread, extend, and eventually fill his entire field of vision.
I don't know how long it took, but it seemed like a moment, as if it was another long century.
In this dream, Luo Heng was almost on the verge of collapse.
There was nothing in front of him but the scarlet that was everywhere. It was as if they were exhorting Luo Heng to surrender.
Gradually, a dull color appeared in the corner of the scarlet, and after being contaminated by the scarlet like a virus, it quickly expanded and spread, and in an instant it filled all the scarlet.
In less than a few seconds, the scarlet child in front of him was completely engulfed by the darkness.
Darkness replaced the original red.
Finally, Luo Heng felt a sense of relief that he had not felt for a long time, and all the power that had restrained his body before was liberated, so that he was finally able to move, and his body was already a little stiff.
"Whew, whew. Luo Heng couldn't wipe the sweat that kept falling on his face, and half-knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, so as to relieve the fear and panic just now.
After relieving slightly, Luo Heng gradually got up and looked at the surrounding darkness.
However, he was a little strange that the darkness was not completely black, but rather a beautiful and fantastical night sky.
Looking up from the ground, the shadows of the stars could be faintly seen in the distance, as well as the flickering and blinking light, which finally brought him some calming feelings.
"You know what? Anyone who comes into contact with the scarlet will die, without exception. Even repentance to the Lord does not forgive any sins. A slightly sad voice came from behind Luo Heng.
This voice seemed so familiar, but for a while, Luo Heng couldn't figure out who it was.
A few seconds later, the curiosity in Luo Heng's heart overcame his indifference, and when he quickly turned to look at the person in front of him, the surprise on his face almost rose to a level of incomprehensibility.
"Lingxu, why did you appear here?" Luo Heng said in surprise.
