Chapter 494: Reward
For a long time, Zhao Feng's mind was clear for a while, those evil thoughts were all driven out of his mind, and reason finally overcame. His heart calmed down, and Zhao Feng felt as if he had removed a pair of shackles, and his haze-shrouded mind once again revealed boundless light. At this moment, Zhao Feng dimly felt as if he had a little experience with "Mixed Sun Heart Lamp".
Zhao Feng's mind was at the beginning, but he opened his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Feng seriously.
The carriage galloped directly into the palace and entered an elegant courtyard, where the three division commanders went to meet the monarch, and Zhao Feng was left alone in the courtyard. After a while, an official came to the small courtyard to explain the etiquette, fortunately, Zhao Feng was also from a noble background, and some etiquette was fundamental, and he quickly learned it like a look, but he was fat, and he couldn't do anything solemn, so that the official's face twitched, and finally he had to resign himself to leaving, and when he put on new clothes, Zhao Feng was new, and he was like two people before, he was happy in his heart, and muttered in his mouth: "People rely on clothes, horses and saddles, put on good clothes, I am also a little handsome!" Causing those palace maids to purse their lips and laugh, if it weren't for the training method, these palace maids would have laughed back and forth. Back in the small courtyard, Zhao Feng was sleepy, so he found a guest room and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Feng was awakened, but an official beckoned Zhao Feng to greet the temple messenger.
Zhao Feng followed the officials through the door and came to a wide square. There is a huge circular stone platform in the center of the square, the stone platform is engraved with complex and exquisite patterns, and the lines are filled with all kinds of spirit gold, constituting many strange runes, and eight spirit crystals are embedded in the eight directions of the stone platform. This is a giant teleportation array, this kind of thing Zhao Feng has only seen in books, it is said that it can teleport people thousands of miles away. Although the Kingdom of Tiantai is large, there are only two in the whole country, one in the royal palace and one in the temple branch.
There were more than a dozen people waiting for the temple messenger in the courtyard, and one middle-aged person was surrounded by the stars and the moon. Zhao Feng looked at him, only to see him, with slender eyes, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, wearing a golden crown, and a warm smile on his face, this is Zhong Hailan, the current monarch of the Tiantai Kingdom. Zhao Feng knows a lot about this monarch, and from the perspective of his governing methods, he can be regarded as a rare virtuous king.
Seeing Zhao Feng coming, Yun Shouzuo beckoned him to come close to meet him. Zhao Feng stepped forward to salute, and the monarch was stunned when he saw his figure, glanced at the big sacrificial wine, and saw that the big sacrificial wine was expressionless, and knew that this was indeed the "bachelor" launched by the school palace. The monarch returned the salute and gave a few words of encouragement, which was nothing more than to stay calm and behave well, in fact, the monarch had heard of Zhao Feng, but he had not seen it.
At this moment, the lines of the teleportation array began to emit a misty golden light, and as more and more spirit runes were lit up, the golden light became more and more intense, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in golden glow. In the end, the golden glow disappeared completely in an instant, and the giant stone platform turned into a golden mirror, and five figures slowly rose from under the mirror.
When the stone platform was restored to its original state, the king and the first seat hurriedly stepped forward to greet the temple messenger. Of the five envoys who came, the leader was Lian Jun, the new director of the Ancient Spiritual Division, who was a strong man in the Yin Soul Realm, and two of them were envoys of the Discipline Academy, one of them was bowed and black-robed, with a gloomy face, Yan Ji, the director of the Inspection Department of the Discipline Academy, who was also a strong person in the Yin Soul Realm, and the other had a kind face, Jiang Heng, a bachelor of the Law Department of the Discipline Academy. Everyone moved to a lobby, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Lian Jun had to say a few polite words, and Director Yan interrupted him: "Director Lian, I don't think there is a need for small talk, time is very tight, why don't you get to know the young talents of the Tiantai Kingdom?" "Biting the four words of young talents very hard, it is obvious that he has worked hard in advance, and he regards the Tiantai Kingdom as the first stop, and it is estimated that he has also saved a plan to get off the horse.
Director Lian couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Zhong Hailan broke the siege: "The widow has heard that the Discipline Academy is busy with government affairs, and I want to come to Director Yan and have urgent matters to do, so it's good to get to the point directly, and the young talent that I have always recommended from the Tiantai Kingdom is this one." After speaking, he pointed to Zhao Feng, who was the farthest away.
Zhao Feng hurriedly trotted forward like a fat rabbit, only to hear the monarch continue: "This talent, named Zhao Feng, is an assistant teacher of the Jiuyue Academy of Palace History, and I also ask Director Yan to take good care of one or two." ”
"Oh? Tutor? Yan Ji glanced at Zhao Feng, but instead stared at the Great Sacrifice Wine with interest. The face of the great sacrificial wine was full of smiles, and there was no trace of panic. Director Yan couldn't see anything unusual, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Zhong Guojun, are you sure it's this one, not other teaching assistants, for example, surnamed Huang?" ”
After hearing this, the Jiangu Division and everyone in the Tiantai Kingdom were stunned, and Director Lian said in his heart: "It's so dangerous, this Discipline Academy is really good, and such a secret matter has not escaped their ears and eyes." "Actually, he thought too much, what the Huang family did had long been an open secret in the upper echelons of the Tiantai Kingdom, how could he hide it from the temple?
Zhong Guojun was calm and calm, and replied: "Director Yan is joking, the person who awarded this reward has long been decided, this Assistant Teacher Zhao is the best candidate, but the widow has never heard of other candidates." ”
Director Yan sneered: "Then let Master Jiang ask a few questions, okay?" Then he turned to Zhao Feng and said: "Little fat man, yes yes, no yes no, if there is anything hidden, you can tell me, and the company will call the shots for you." ”
Zhao Feng didn't believe that this person would be so righteous, and replied directly, "Please take the exam."
Master Jiang is a careful person, he took out a copy of "Beiyuan Translation Book" in his arms, and carefully inquired about the content of the book. "Beiyuan Translation" took Zhao Feng several years of hard work, it can be said that every page is printed in Zhao Feng's mind, and Zhao Feng is fluent in answering Mr. Jiang's question. Seeing that it was difficult for Zhao Feng, Bachelor Jiang simply jumped out of the book and began to test the knowledge of the Nu clan, writing, historical facts, and spiritual methods were all-encompassing, and they were becoming more and more out of the way, and Zhao Feng was becoming more and more difficult to answer. This examination lasted for nearly an hour, and Zhao Feng's face was pale when asked.
At the end of the questioning, Zhao Feng looked around, but saw that the eyes of the teachers of the school palace were extremely strange.
"Oh no, it looks like it's messed up, it's going to be finished!" Zhao Feng's heart couldn't help but sink, but unexpectedly, Bachelor Jiang nodded and said: "This young man is good, not only is he familiar with the content of the "Beiyuan Translation", but he also knows a lot about other branches of the Nu clan. ”
Yun Da Sacrificial Wine hurriedly said a few words modestly, and unexpectedly, Director Yan did not question it, which shows that Bachelor Jiang's identity must be quite detached.
"Haha, good, good, good, I'll just say, Lao Yan, such a strict person as Mr. Jiang must be praised, it can be seen that he is indeed a young talent, right?" Secretary Lian also emphasized the four words of young talents.
"Hmph, don't be complacent, this is only the first stop, there are still two stations behind, it's better to set a reward and set off." Director Yan obviously did not admit defeat.
The monarch Zhong Hailan also knew that this Director Yan was a well-known cold-faced person, so he had to bring a map and demarcate the reward territory in person: "According to the rules of the temple, the bachelor demarcates the territory according to the earl's regulations, with 2,000 people and 6,000 acres of land, which can be passed on to three generations, and the land is compensated by the temple in the border wasteland." Now, the territory of the country is fragmented, and it will take some time to transfer a suitable territory. “
Director Yan didn't buy it, and only said: "I think, there's no need, the Tiantai Kingdom is very vast, isn't there nowhere to go?" ”
Zhong Hailan saw this posture and had to say: "There is a place, which is remote, that is, the beacon plain in northern Xinjiang. ”
"Beacon Plain?" Zhao Feng was very surprised, and said in his heart: "This reward is too much, right?" ”
This beacon fire plain, in the Tiantai Kingdom is not famous, but as a student of history, Zhao Feng is very clear, this boundary, is the kingdom of the north of the border to connect the ice moss snow field of an isthmus, east and west facing the sea, and the kingdom's largest grassland cloud shadow grass sea connection, and the north has an arc mountain range, separating the beacon fire field from the ice mossy snow field. The Ice Moss Snow Field is the territory of the Snow Clan, the Snow Tribe, which is a branch of the human race, hardy and brave, and most of them live in the Windy Continent across the sea from the Beacon Fire Plain. The Snow Clan people believe in an ancient god, the Leaf Ice God, but the Snow Clan people never set foot in the snow field due to their different living conditions.
The only thing that is not beautiful is that most of the southern part of the Beacon Plain is an extremely arid place - the blood sand valley. For some reason, the ground is covered with reddish-brown sand, and the heat is so unbearable all year round that even bandits dare not easily step into it. When the wind is strong, the blood and sand raised are like beacon fires in the sky, and this is where the beacon fire gets its name. In the north of the blood sand valley, in the south of the mountain range, in the promenade area of 200 miles from east to west and 40 miles from north to south, there are many oases irrigated by snow water from the mountains, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. This can be regarded as a sharp blade of the Tiantai Kingdom behind the herdsmen of Northern Xinjiang, and the Tiantai Kingdom is actually willing to hand it over?
There is a way to be a demon if there is an abnormality, Zhao Feng has never had the luxury of getting a territory, and after listening to this reward, the heart that was originally put down hung again.
Monarch Zhong Hailan pointed to the map, roughly talked about the situation in the Beacon Plain, and handed a pile of documents to Director Lian, who flipped through it at will and transferred it to Director Yan, but Director Yan read it carefully.
Zhao Feng was uneasy, so he wanted to find an opportunity to step forward to ask for his resignation, but he happened to see Qin Xijiu giving him a look. Only then did Zhao Feng understand that there might be something else going on in this matter.
Director Yan slowly flipped through the papers, and his already gloomy face gradually became covered with dark clouds. After reading the documents, Director Yan stared at the monarch Zhong Hailan and asked in a dark voice: "Zhong Guojun, I'm afraid this document is wrong, the Blood Sand Valley is a wasteland recognized by the temple, where are the exploration documents of the past fifteen years?" Ten years ago, there were 35,000 acres of fertile land and pasture, but now there are only 8,000 acres of pasture and 1,000 acres of mountainous land. ”
"Director Yan Mingjian, this matter is wronged, first, the survey documents are issued by the Mountains and Rivers Division of the Merit Institute, according to the example, the world's wasteland, every three years, the survey documents are sent to various countries for filing, not in the past fifteen years, but I haven't received it."
