Chapter 257 Protecting the City and Breaking the Rumors
The figure flying farther and farther away in the sky was indeed a snow sculpture. www.biquge.info Han Feng once briefly mentioned to Zhan Zhongqi about the snow sculpture flying over the Xuelong Mountain Pass, and Zhan Zhongqi also told Manghou, but when Manghou heard it, he smiled and said that it was just some flying birds, and what was the big deal, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
Because of their psychological preparation, Han Feng and Zhan Zhongqi only felt pity at this moment, but Manghou opened his mouth widely, his face turned pale, and the whole person shook twice, if it wasn't for someone next to him to help him, he was afraid that he would sit on the ground.
He never thought that there would be such a monster in the sky, if he had come out earlier, I am afraid that the person who was caught in the sky at this time would have to be replaced!
Han Feng was the first to come to his senses, looking at Manghou who was almost paralyzed next to him, he hid the faint anger and disdain in his eyes, and said, "Messenger...... I can't get it back. How do we explain to King Yue?"
The two countries are not at war yet, not to mention that they are now cooperating with the king of Yue. And the reply said "The messenger was captured by the eagle", Mo said that King Yue would not believe it, even if Han Feng and a few of them saw it with their own eyes, they also found it difficult to speak.
It's a tricky thing. Zhan Zhongqi looked at the clouds from afar-the figure of the snow sculpture had long disappeared behind the clouds, he patted his thigh fiercely, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, why did you just arrest him?"
Han Feng also looked at the clouds, listened to Zhan Zhongqi's question, and somehow replied with a somewhat ridiculous tone: "He has a lot of meat." ”
In order not to make King Yue suspicious, the three people who were supposed to rest discussed all night, and finally decided to immediately send a messenger to rush to Huadu in Fengcheng, only saying that Wu Wu was impatient with the weather in Fengguan Mangcheng, and he was not accustomed to the water and soil so that he suddenly fell ill, so he died in the city. They expressed their deep regret, and at the same time hoped that they could continue to do business with the king of Yue, and in order to express their apologies for the poor care of the envoys, they accepted all the suggestions made by the king of Yue to raise the price.
The difficulty lies in how to convince the followers who went with Wu Wu to make up the lies. Fortunately, the attendant saw the snow sculpture capture Wu Wu with his own eyes, and knew that this absurd anecdote made King Yue sound like a fantasy, so he agreed to make up this white lie with them.
In order to make the lie more true, the attendant proposed to bring Wu Wu's "remains" back. This is not a very unreasonable suggestion, after all, if Wu Wu dies of "illness", he will always leave bones. Zhan Zhongqi smiled and said nothing, Manghou grabbed his head with his hand and made a difficulty, Han Feng thought for a while, and said, "Let's just say that the envoy is suffering from a strange disease that will pass people, and in order not to expand the epidemic, the corpse has been burned to ashes." Manghou, aren't there death row inmates in our prison?"
This was the first time that Han Feng had given an order to Manghou as the emperor's empress, and although it was raised in a questioning way, it still shocked Manghou's body. This is also the first time that Manghou has heard Han Feng say that he kills, he previously knew that this puppet emperor had killed people in the army without blinking, but when he heard him say this, he still felt a pang in his heart, and secretly thought that he was not moved to kill prisoners, but he was really a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
However, the things that can prove Wu Wu's identity are all taken away by the snow sculpture along with Wu Wu's body, and money and the like are easy to buy, and the only thing that worries a few people is that Wu Wu's invulnerable soft armor is nowhere to be found. It is said that the soft armor is not worn by Wu Wu on weekdays, but because of this mission, he deliberately wears it on his body, does not take it off day and night, and wears it in the bath.
It was still Han Feng who solved this problem. He said "Wait a minute" to the others, and turned to the inner sanctum to take off the soft armor on his body. The soft armor has been with him for more than a year, looking at the soft armor, he thought of the old days in the Jiangxing Gang again, and couldn't help but sigh. This soft armor has also saved his life several times, and it can be called the last line of defense for his life, so he is indeed hesitant whether to hand it over.
But the future is the future, and now this hurdle must be passed first. Han Feng smiled helplessly, and secretly said that this soft armor was originally given by Wu Wu, and now for him to go back, it can be regarded as paying off the debt of favors. It's just that Wu Wu's body is very fat, and even if the soft armor he handed over has the same texture, it can't be stuffed into Wu Wu's fat body anyway.
This time, it was Zhan Zhongqi who spoke. He started a fire and threw the soft armor into the fire. After the burning, the wires connecting the soft armor have been burned, and the soft armor itself has been burned into small pieces. Zhan Zhongqi picked up a few pieces of cloth wrapped in a thick cloth in his hand, and said to Wu Wu's follower: "I didn't know that he was wearing armor when I burned it. I really burned it and found it, and it was too late. The treasure turned to ashes, and it also went with him. ”

After Wu Wu's matter is resolved, the next step is to solve the problem of the snow sculpture.
It was late at night when the snow sculpture came to Fengguan Mangcheng, and not too many people saw it, but the rumor that there was a monster attacking the city in the sky still spread. The versions of the rumors are strange, and the most troublesome thing for Han Feng and the others is that the folk rumor that the monster is the messenger of the sky, and it was sent to punish the people who plotted rebellion.
Everyone in the city was in danger, no one dared to walk in the streets unless necessary, and even the soldiers who were ordered to be on duty at the city walls were in danger, and they almost stood against the walls. In order to dispel people's concerns, Han Feng and Zhan Zhongqi had to inspect the city gate every night. Han Feng had seen the snow sculpture wandering in the sky near Mangcheng, but because there were cattle, sheep and livestock around the city, the snow sculpture did not visit Mangcheng except for the night after capturing Wu Wu.
The decline in cattle and sheep has intensified the rumors. Until Han Feng couldn't bear it anymore and decided to do something that seemed quite risky to Zhan Zhongqi.
He ordered the cattle and sheep to be driven into the city for the time being, and put them in a sheltered place to guard, and then he found someone to take a dozen bloody raw lamb legs and put them at the city gate.
Zhan Zhongqi persuaded him to put poison in the leg of mutton, which was both trouble-free and safe, but Han Feng shook his head and said, "It's not difficult to kill the snow sculpture, but what I want to settle is rumors." ”
After hearing this, Zhan Zhongqi smiled with relief: "I see. If you have faith, then I will not interfere. ”
In the smell of blood, the snow sculpture came as promised. Everyone in the city heard the neighing of the snow sculptures, and no one dared to go out to see what was going on, not even opening the windows carefully. No one knew the final outcome of this battle, everyone was worried, and even some people who believed that the snow sculpture was an angel prayed silently, hoping that the snow sculpture would take away the thieves who dared to rebel and restore the peace of Fengguan Mangcheng.
However, early the next morning, everyone saw a wooden pole erected in front of the palace gate, and a huge snow sculpture head was held at the top of the wooden pole. And Han Feng was safe and sound, standing with his back under the wooden pole.
