Chapter 104: A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix
In front of Cang Xiaofeng stood a neatly arranged poultry - they were raised by the villagers of Ruiwen Village, and they were the closest to the little phoenix, so they came to worship first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The three-legged golden pheasant, the four-winged carp duck, and the sword-feathered wild goose lined up in three columns, and none of them stood in the wrong line. They all bowed their heads and expressed their submission and submission to the king of birds. There was also a large open space to the left of the three columns, which was reserved for the birds that came to worship one after another.
At this time, many birds flew down from the sky, and they all found their own race to stand.
Birds are actually very noisy animals, they must be noisy when there is something, and they are noisy when there is nothing to do, and there is no quiet time. But at this moment, the birds knelt down without a sound.
Perhaps the larger the birds, the farther away they are, so the later they arrive. The last one to come to worship the phoenix was a golden-winged eagle eagle with a body length of more than two meters. Most strikingly, it also has a bamboo tube tied to its left leg, and the outside of the bamboo tube is engraved with the elven word "urgent".
"Home delivery, is this the express delivery of the other world?" Cang Shilan muttered a little amusedly.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning crossed his mind. This is not a courier, but a flying eagle biography!
In order to convey emergency military information, the Pige Empire trained eagles to be postmen. Each city and important town has a Flying Eagle Guard, which is responsible for sending and receiving information.
The word "urgent" on the bamboo tube should indicate that the information is very urgent.
The direction of this eagle should be Changchun City, so will the information in the bamboo tube be related to him?
Cang Shilan whispered to Cang Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, let that golden-winged eagle come over, I want to see the information on its legs." ”
Cang Xiaofeng chirped a few times in a strange language.
The golden-winged eagle staggered along.
The eagle is the king of the sky, and flying is far more pleasant than walking, but in front of the king of birds, it does not dare to rise into the air.
Seeing the golden-winged eagle eagle coming, Cang Shilan reached out to take the bamboo tube tied to its feet.
The golden-winged eagle took a step back and shouted a few words.
Cang Xiaofeng glared, and the golden-winged eagle trembled in fright and knelt on the ground.
Cang Shilan took off the bamboo tube and found that there was no lead seal or wax seal on the bamboo tube. The Flying Eagle Guard probably didn't expect that someone would be able to get a secret letter from the mighty Golden-winged Eagle Eagle.
Unscrewed the lid, and Cang Shilan poured out two secret letters from inside.
Cang Shilan guessed correctly, these two letters were addressed to the city lord of Changchun City.
The first is a ban on the Pygs. Emperor Pige once again emphasized that the Pige tribe grounding order was imperative, and strictly ordered the city lord of Changchun City to fulfill his duties, strictly enforce the law, and investigate those who violated the law, and if necessary, he could kill a hundred people.
The second letter is related to the blue of the sky. Emperor Pige asked the city lord of Changchun City in a stern tone why he hadn't sent Cang Shilan out of Changchun City yet. The letter asked the city lord of Changchun City to arrange manpower as soon as possible to send Cang Shilan to the imperial capital.
Cang Shilan put the letter back into the bamboo tube, covered the lid, and put it in his arms.
The golden-winged eagle owl was in a hurry, fluttering its wings and speaking in an incomprehensible eagle language.
Cang Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "The eagle said, you must not take the bamboo tube." If it flies to the mailing address, the Flying Eagle Guard finds that there is no messenger bamboo tube on its legs, not only will its life be difficult to protect, but the Flying Eagle Guard will also search along the road, and if it encounters suspicious people or villages, it will kill them all. ”
Cang Shilan was frightened and hurriedly took out the bamboo tube.
After thinking for a while, Cang Shilan still opened the bamboo tube, took out the secret order about him, and then covered the bamboo tube and tied the bamboo tube back to the leg of the golden-winged eagle as it was.
The golden-winged eagle dared not speak in anger and retreated into the queue.
Cang Shilan didn't understand how the emperor who was far away in the imperial capital cared so much about him, which flattered him. He decided to carefully study the letter when he had time and guess what the emperor really meant.
Seeing that no birds landed in the sky, Cang Xiaofeng began to lecture the birds.
But I didn't know what I had said, but I saw the fowls scatter and rush to every house in the village.
Cang Shilan asked in surprise: "Xiaofeng, what did you say to them, why did they all rush into people's houses like bandits." Look at the eagle owl, it kicked the door open. ”
Cang Xiaofeng said proudly: "Didn't I get dizzy? I think how can I be dizzy alone? If I want to be dizzy, everyone will be dizzy together, so I ordered these birds to go door to door to find the secret room, and everyone can taste the taste of dizziness." ”
Cang Shilan dotingly stretched out his right index finger and scraped it on Cang Xiaofeng's long beak, and said, "Just your ghost elf." ”
After speaking, Cang Shilan picked up Cang Xiaofeng and put it on her shoulder.
Soon a sword-feathered wild goose rushed out from the second house, and screamed at Cang Xiaofeng.
Cang Xiaofeng was overjoyed and said, "Dad, it has found the secret room of this house." ”
The two entered the house together and opened the secret room, where there was only a little girl of five or six years old.
The child was much easier to coax than the adult, and after only two or three words, she believed it—or had to believe it, because at that time, Cang Shilan was still carrying a single knife to pry the door of the secret room.
With the help of the birds, the search for the chamber was much faster, and it only took an hour or two to find all the survivors in the village.
Most of the survivors were small children, with 48 little boys and 22 little girls. There are also quite a few adults, with 5 adult men and 14 adult women, including 5 pregnant women.
Cang Shilan gathered the people together and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, children, this time Ruiwen Village suffered such a catastrophe, it is really sad for the grass and trees, and the world mourns together. I'll help you fight off the robbers, but it's too late. The past cannot be admonished, the coming can still be chased, and living strong can fulfill the wishes of the deceased. ”
Hearing this, the survivors let out a cry of grief.
Cang Shilan didn't feel very comfortable in his heart, paused, and then said, "Now I have two options for you to choose from. The first is that the survivors follow us, and if we have a bite to eat, there must be a bite of you. The second is that you stay here, and we leave a little food...... I'm sorry, but my car was abducted by the driver, and the food is gone. But we can leave some gold coins behind to support you until the autumn harvest. ”
The survivors began to talk. After all, it is difficult to leave their homeland, and although this place has been plagued by robbers, they are still reluctant to leave here.
Just as someone was about to speak, a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "We only have one choice left, which is to become the retainer of Lan * Cang when Engong Shi and follow him." ”
This man is none other than Shalombas. As he spoke, he held up a pig's head—a pig's head, to be exact.
"This is the head of a robber that I cut off. I know this man, his name is Oslu, and he is the chief of the guard of the Pygon compilation, and he is the ...... who escorted me back to Raven Village."
It turned out that Shalombas was a well-known bibliophile in Raven Village.
The Pige Empire is preparing to compile a set of all-encompassing books called "Pig's Canon", which has never been seen before or since, and issued a book collection order to all parts of the country.
When Shalombas learned of this, although he admired the emperor's protection of cultural classics, he did not intend to hand over the collection to the state. Because he loves books, he doesn't want to be separated from the books he has collected since he was a child.
Shalombas's family was poor, and he was never willing to buy new books at the Word Bookstore, and he bought old books at half price or even a discount in the corner. Sometimes when you buy a first volume, you need to wait a few years or more than ten years before you happen to buy the next volume and make a complete set of books.
The funniest time, after five years, he finally found the upper and lower volumes and pieced together a complete set of books. But when he read the book, he found that the story was not connected, and at that time he thought that the author's level was limited, and a few years later, he learned that there were three volumes in this set of books - upper, middle, and lower.
The hard work of collecting books does not need to be detailed. Besides, he also had a hidden worry, the Pige Empire was rife with literary prisons, and if there was a forbidden character in the collection, wouldn't it be a death search for a book to donate it?
The old village chief came forward, laid out the facts, reasoned, took out the notice, and pointed to the black and white words on it that "will never hold the donor accountable" and persuaded him bitterly, but he still could not impress Shalombas.
In the end, the old village chief launched a family offensive, and the whole village took turns to persuade him, which finally made Shalombas hand over the book.
The people of the Pig's Dictionary were very happy to see the cart of books, and when they had hastily looked through a few books, the director was even more pleased, and not only gave him double the bonus, but also asked the chief of the guard of the compilation office to escort him home with eighty guards.
