Chapter 182: The Sacred Driving Cliff
"Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live!"
Looking at the people of the city of Cliff City, they all knelt down on both sides of the dilapidated main street that had been devastated by the war. Zhao Wenkai did not have the joy of the first victory in his heart.
These are all his people in Liyang, but they were rebelled by the prince of Lin'an in Liyang, and his wife was separated and his family was destroyed. There are even many people who do not have clothes and food.
As the emperor of Liyang, he was extremely sad in his heart.
After nearly a hundred years of living and working in peace and contentment, Liyang, who is peaceful and peaceful, has encountered such a catastrophe in his own hands, and he cannot escape his responsibility.
I saw Zhao Wenkai slowly walking down the "Eight Horses and Dragons", coming to the side of the people, and asking the officials around him to call the people to get up.
Then, he walked up to a little girl who was thin, in tattered clothes, and had an ignorant look on her face, squatted down, and picked up the little girl amid a burst of exclamations from others.
"Child, are you hungry? Is it cold? Did Uncle give you food? β
Zhao Wenkai said softly to the little girl. The eunuch on the side immediately brought the dim sum specially prepared for Zhao Wenkai from his entourage, and then bowed down and brought the dim sum to the saint's hand.
Zhao Wenkai picked up the delicate snack and gently stuffed it into the dirty little hands of the little girl in his arms.
Although the little girl was a little nervous, after all, she knew that this man in the golden dragon armor was a very powerful figure, otherwise the neighbors, aunts, and mothers-in-law around her would not bow down to him like this.
"Eat, Uncle knows you're hungry!" Zhao Wenkai said softly to the little girl.
The little girl looked at the neighbor aunt next to her, and saw the aunt nodding nervously to her. With the consent of the aunt, the little girl gently took a bite of the delicate pastry that was many times whiter than her own skin under the gaze of everyone.
The pastry has a fluffy and sweet taste, crispy and delicious, and melts in your mouth. The little girl's face showed a look of surprise and happiness, and then she shoved the rest of the snack into her mouth in one gulp, ignoring everyone's gaze.
"It's delicious! Thank you, Uncle! With a snack in his mouth, he couldn't wait to express his gratitude to Zhao Wenkai.
Zhao Wenkai laughed out loud, the surrounding officials had not seen the saint smile so happily for a long time, and they also showed a happy smile. The people of the Vast Cliff on the side were also infected by the actions of the saint, and they were obviously not as restrained as just now, and they all showed envious smiles.
Zhao Wenkai immediately turned around and picked up two snacks from the eunuch on the side and stuffed them into the little girl's hands, "Eat more if it's delicious, seeing that you eat so deliciously, even I can't help swallowing my saliva." β
The little girl took the snack in her hand and did not continue to put it in her mouth, but asked softly, "Uncle, can I give such a delicious snack to my aunt and mother-in-law?" Mom said that good things should be shared with the people around you! β
After listening to the little girl's words, Zhao Wenkai nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course you can, by the way, can you tell me that it is your mother?" I want to get to know the mother who can educate a child like you. β
After listening to Zhao Wenkai's words, the little girl's face, which was already relaxed and smiling, suddenly became stiff, and a layer of fog appeared in her eyes.
"Mom, no. She was hit in the head by a flying rock... β
Zhao Wenkai was stunned, but he didn't expect him to ask casually, and he actually touched the weakest place in the little girl's heart. With an apologetic face, he looked at the poor little girl, gently leaned her little head on his shoulder, sighed deeply and said,
"Poor child, it's Uncle who is sorry for you, and Uncle is sorry for the people of the Vast Cliff."
After hearing Zhao Wenkai's words, all the soldiers and officers and soldiers behind him knelt on the ground in fear: "Your Majesty, it is a sin of the ministers!" β
"It was my fault that made the people of the vast cliff miserable, and it was my sin to destroy their families. I, Zhao Wenkai, apologize to everyone! β
Zhao Wenkai put down the little girl in his hand and bowed to the people of the cliff.
"Your Majesty!" The people and soldiers of the entire Vast Cliff City knelt down one after another, and they didn't dare to raise their heads at all.
"I will definitely slash the traitor and seek justice for everyone. Someone came, spread the word of me, exempted the people of the cliff from taxes for three years, all the affected families had 100 stones, and the families of the sacrificed people received 50 taels of silver. β
After hearing Zhao Wenkai's words, the officers and soldiers of the Vast Cliff shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live us, long live, long live!" β
"Yuting, you are here to supervise this matter, and there must be no mistakes!" Zhao Wenkai was still not at ease, and let the accompanying Nine Princesses supervise the matter.
"Yes, father, son-in-law will definitely handle this matter!" The Ninth Princess immediately received the order
"Her Royal Highness Princess, Chitose!"
The mighty team finally came to the hall of the Vast Cliff Prefect, where Lin Shanhai and others had already been arranged. After Zhao Wenkai rested for a while, he asked people to recruit the main personnel of the Boundless Cliff defenders.
"Everyone, Aiqing, hard work! If it weren't for your perseverance and never giving up, the cliff would be in danger, the capital would be in danger, and the dawn would be in danger! β
Zhao Wenkai expressed his recognition and gratitude to the generals and officers and soldiers who guarded the vast cliff from the bottom of his heart.
After Lin Shanhai's introduction, Ji Lingshan and the other elders of the Tianlan Sect saluted His Majesty, and Ling Zixuan also accompanied Ji Lingshan.
Under the introduction of the ninth princess, Zhao Wenkai knew that this heroine of the Tianlan Sect was the granddaughter of Ji Fusu, the daughter of Ji Changgeng, and the fiancΓ©e of Ling Zixuan, so he immediately chatted with Ji Lingshan very politely.
Then, accompanied by Ji Changgeng, he visited the two genius camps. After listening to Ji Changgeng's introduction, the chief instructor of the genius battalion was Ling Zixuan, and after cultivating one hundred and sixty soldiers of the genius battalion who were less than twenty years old into masters of Huaqi or above in just half a year, Zhao Wenkai was once again surprised by Ling Zixuan.
"The emperor is really a god, and it is really my great fortune to have such a talent as the emperor in Liyang!"
Ling Zixuan relied on his own strength to make great contributions to the Liyang Dynasty, and also cultivated more than 100 Huajin masters, these young Huajin masters will be Liyang's wealth in the future.
Zhao Wenkai felt that it was not too much to make Ling Zixuan the "emperor", and he was a little too stingy.
However, the top priority at the moment is not to dwell on these trivial matters, the most important thing is to eradicate the rebels as soon as possible and restore the peaceful life of the people of Liyang as soon as possible.
In addition, both the north and the south are overwhelmed by large armies, so it is necessary to quickly eradicate internal troubles before we can better solve external troubles.
"Report to Your Majesty, under the full pursuit of Deputy Commander Jiang Shaoning and the defenders of Mangya, the 100,000 Lin'an rebels were repelled for 30 miles, killed more than 18,000 rebels, and surrendered more than 25,000 rebels. And killed more than 120 rebel immortal cultivators, including one Jindan Realm Peak, four Jindan Realm Late, six Foundation Building Realm and twelve Qi Cultivation Realm, and the rest were martial arts masters, all of whom were shadow guards in the Lin'an rebels. Lin Shanhai reported to Zhao Wenkai the situation of the pursuit battle.
Zhao Wenkai was very satisfied with the results achieved, which was equivalent to destroying one-third of the rebels' troops. Moreover, the remaining army of more than 70,000 led by Yuanfei had rushed back to Linjiang City overnight, and did not stay at the garrison thirty miles away, it seems that the king of Lin'an has completely given up his plan to attack Mangya City.
Zhao Wenkai immediately ordered that every soldier who killed the rebels should be recorded for their military exploits, and they would be rewarded for their merits when they returned to the capital.
Everyone rested for three days, and after three days, they first recovered the East China Sea, and then fought a decisive battle against Linjiang City.
