Volume 1 Burning Chapter 113 Dragon Sealing Ceremony
The wailing continued intermittently throughout the night, during which Li Xiangfeng also approached Wang Dingbei many times to ask if he could put the person down first, but Wang Dingbei flatly refused.
Wang Dingbei explained that the reason why he chose to be at night is because the effect of warning people at night is much stronger than during the day, and there is no need to worry about affecting other people, but only affecting people with crooked thoughts in their hearts, which is also a wake-up call for them!
And not all of the people who have made mistakes have been hoisted, and there must have been fish that have slipped through the net, and they have not found it yet, but this will also give them a warning and will be much more restrained.
"For those who have been victimized, don't you think that Commander Li will have a good night's sleep when he hears such a wail? Since Commander Li has entrusted this matter to you, please trust him completely!"
This is Wang Dingbei's reply to Li Xiangfeng, Li Xiangfeng also has nothing to say, listening to Wang Dingbei's meaning, I am afraid that these people will be hung for four days, during which they will not be allowed to eat, only a small amount of clean water will be given.
What are the refugees afraid of? They are not afraid of being beaten, humiliated, or killed, and even if they are beaten up today, they will forget these things in a few days, and this will not serve as a warning, and Wang Dingbei will once again bring the hunger that the refugees fear the most to the table, and these people will be starved for four days, and such a warning will be a hundred times stronger than a simple punishment.
These days, Wang Dingbei has been implementing his plan step by step, and Li Xiangfeng has no longer said much, from the previous puzzlement, to now he has begun to frantically absorb the knowledge and methods used by Wang Dingbei.
Houses were gradually built, and wells had been drilled to feed the refugees, but the progress of the houses was too slow and there was no other way, because most of the people had already joined the movement.
Wang Dingbei picked some strong men who had gained a lot from following Yu Yan and Lei Tian these days, and with the improvement of his life, Tang Yun's burden gradually became easier.
Li Xiangfeng had already persuaded Qin Tianxin not to work on this mess anymore, Zhao Wu sent the former Geisha Workshop Bookkeeper over to take care of the refugees' expenses, and the gold coin was half crossed from Qin Tianxin, and Qin Tianxin now didn't need to calculate trivial things, just check the account book of the bookkeeper.
"You two rabbit cubs, what are you robbing? Be careful to die! No one will rob you, look at the dogs one by one!" Next to a newly built house, two children held a large bowl together, which was full of white rice, and the two little paws kept holding the rice to their mouths, and the cheeks were bulging, and after being discovered by Shen Chaoyang who was passing by, he attracted a burst of angry scolding.
One of the little boys blinked at the person who reprimanded him, and muttered with a mouth full of rice: "Uncle, I haven't read, don't lie to me, how can people die? When I first came, there was an uncle outside the city who ate two big bowls of rice, and they were almost dying, and in the end they didn't die!" After muttering and muttering, he began to eat again, without noticing that the person standing in front of him was the person he was talking about.
Hearing that his story was so well-known, it was expected that Shen Chaoyang also felt hot on his face, and finally left with a scolding.
At noon, Zhao Wu hurried over! Straight to Li Xiangfeng, bringing something that Li Xiangfeng couldn't think of at all?
Inside the house, Zhao Wu handed over a token with the words "King of Zhennan" to Li Xiangfeng.
"Dragon sealing ceremony?" Li Xiangfeng muttered suspiciously.
"That's right, King Zhennan recommended you to the military department, and this month he will go to the Roaring Continent, and you will participate in the dragon sealing ceremony there!" Even Zhao Wu had a yearning expression when he said this.
According to the regulations of the empire, only the core senior generals of the imperial army, the princes, the county kings, and the vassal kings will know about this matter, and Zhao Wu's level is not right to know, but Zhao Wu is Qin Jingshan's henchman, so he knows about this matter.
The Roaring Continent is a huge continent with all kinds of dragons living on the endless continent, located in the west of the Central Asian continent, across the ocean from the Central Asian continent, and in the middle is the "dark ocean" known as the Dead Sea!
"Roaring Continent? It won't be for me to go to this continent to catch dragons, right?" Li Xiangfeng knows about the Roaring Continent, but the books are also vague records, and few people go to this continent, I heard that it is extremely vicious, it is a forbidden area for all creatures, there are all kinds of dragons there, and even the dragons on the Central Asian continent are also descendants of the dragons there.
"It's basically true!" Zhao Wu's words made Li Xiangfeng almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
This Qin Jingshan is not a thing, Li Xiangfeng muttered in his heart, in the past few days, he has not done anything to offend him, and he has focused on reettling refugees, which is also a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, this guy will actually arrange for himself to roar on the mainland, isn't this to let himself find death?
"I'm not going! Whoever likes to go, who goes! Isn't this sending me to death!" Li Xiangfeng flatly refused and threw the token on the table, only then did Li Xiangfeng find that the word "Fenglong" was still engraved on the reverse side of the token.
Zhao Wu saw that Li Xiangfeng refused so quickly, he must have misunderstood what he meant, so he explained: "This is originally a matter of none of you, the prince planned to arrange for the eldest prince to go, but this year was won by the young lady, and it is your turn, and it should be a reward for you to settle refugees!"
Speaking of this, Li Xiangfeng came back to his senses, since Qin Jingshan originally arranged for his son to go, then maybe it was not as dangerous as he thought, but Li Xiangfeng still did not relax his vigilance, looked at Zhao Wu suspiciously and said, "If it is such a good thing, then the eldest prince just gave up?"
Zhao Wu saw Li Xiangfeng's expression, and he was also angry and ridiculous, this little rabbit cub really has a lot of eyes, like a little fox, he doesn't have to think about it with his toes, if the prince wants to harm him, he still needs to wait until this time?
"The eldest prince has been there once, and this time he was asked to come over by the young lady, you must know that the eldest prince also loves the young lady very much, if you don't go, you can do it, I will go back to my life!" After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he reached out to get the token, but before his hand touched the token, the token on the table was snatched by Li Xiangfeng.
Li Xiangfeng looked at Zhao Wu with a smile on his face, his right hand moved non-stop to put the token in his pocket, and his left hand was still carefully guarded, for fear that it would fly away by itself, and if he had been there, it would show that the danger had been greatly reduced.
"Who said no! But how is this going?"
Ignoring Li Xiangfeng's inquiry, Zhao Wu took out another letter from his body, put it on the table, and looked directly at Li Xiangfeng's pocket: "Take off your claws, I don't know how the young lady likes you with such a ghostly mind!" This is a letter from the military gate in Zhongjing City, and it will be handed over to Yu Gongzi. ”
"Don't talk about this matter, the dragon sealing ceremony is related to the survival of the empire, it is the secret of the core of the empire, how the strength of a country must depend on the number and quality of the dragon knights, and these are the hidden strength of a country, the strength on the surface does not all represent the overall strength of a country, remember, this is the core secret of the empire! Zhao Wu said with a serious expression.
Li Xiangfeng pondered for a long time in his heart, but there was still a question that he couldn't figure out, so he asked: "Uncle Zhao, I have a question I want to ask, is it possible that in addition to the dragon knights in the army, the dragon knights of other forces in the empire may also be loyal to the imperial army? For example, there are several dragon knights in a mercenary group, but not all of them are loyal to the mercenary group, and they may also be loyal to the army?"
Li Xiangfeng has some things that are thorough, and Zhao Wu still recognizes this very much.
I don't know what the purpose of the prince is to hand over the honor of sealing the dragon to Li Xiangfeng, since the prince has explained himself, he has to complete the prince's orders.
"The dragon knight has always been the object of competition among various countries, races, and forces, and a hundred years ago, the dwarf tribe dug up the extremely hard metal of "secret gold" in the Qilian Tianshan Mountains, and created a weapon that can cause damage to the hard skin of the dragon, but the dragon knight is still a symbol of the strength of the empire.
The dragon sealing ceremony is the main source of the expansion of the dragon knight of the Wanqin Empire, the dragon sealing ceremony is held every two years, this matter is rarely known, this is all a private ceremony, the imperial princes and generals, will recommend the person to report to the military department, and then the recommended person will go to Zhongjing City with a token to report, will be arranged by the military department to go to the roaring continent to participate in the dragon sealing ceremony, people who have experienced the challenge, will become a qualified dragon knight. Zhao Wu briefly told Li Xiangfeng about the dragon knight and the dragon sealing ceremony.
"Challenges, what kind of challenges, are there any risks?" Of course, Li Xiangfeng wanted to know more information, although this dragon knight was majestic, but Li Xiangfeng knew that it was definitely not that simple, and it would not be like buying vegetables on the street, and he would come for a few catties if he wanted them.
What kind of challenge Zhao Wu specifically is not clear, and only those who have experienced the challenge of sealing the dragon know, just when Zhao Wu replied to Li Xiangfeng, the door of the room was pushed open by Qin Tianxin.
"Huh, Uncle Zhao is also here!" Qin Tianxin, who was full of joy, walked to the room and said to Zhao Wu.
Boom, boom!
Two more sounds, Xiao Ru and Qingyang Lanruo ran in.
"Brother Li, I'm coming to see you!" Qingyang Lanruo ran in wearing a light red shirt, a pink midsole embroidered skirt, and a light red tulle, and shouted as soon as she opened her mouth.
Seeing such a formation, Zhao Wu could only avoid it!
After saying goodbye to Qin Tianxin and Li Xiangfeng, Zhao Wu walked out of the house.
"Xiang Feng, Uncle Zhao has told you, what do you think?" After Zhao Wu left, Qin Tianxin sat on the chair and saw that there was a letter on the table, so he asked again, "This is?"
"This is for Yu Yan, I feel that this should be the same thing!" Li Xiangfeng finished answering Qin Tianxin's question, and then turned his head to Qingyang Lanruo and said, "You're all crazy, don't you know to come and see me?"
