Eighty-seven, Your Majesty is coming
Helian Qi nodded, and immediately wrote the holy decree. When the will was written, he stamped it with a great seal and gave it to his chamberlain.
The chamberlain took it down and ordered the order. The holy decree was transmitted to Bai Shifeng and others, and more than half a month had passed. Snow was falling outside.
A few people had no intention of saluting at all.
The guards were not bored, and after reading the decree, they asked them to set off immediately.
I've been waiting for the decree, but it's coming. Bai Shifeng and his entourage packed up and set off immediately.
After another half a month, they arrived at the capital of Wanning Kingdom.
The group was arranged to rest outside the palace for one night, and the next day freshen up and bathe into the palace.
Helian Qi sat majestically on the dragon chair, and Helian Zheng stood aside. Bai Shifeng and the three of them bowed and gave face.
"It is really a great good thing for a few people to enter our country to sell grain and solve the crisis of our country." Helian Zheng spoke, "I don't know how much grain you can provide, my country wants to buy it for a long time." The price is negotiable, please say the three of you. If we can do it, we will do it with all our might. ”
Bai Shifeng smiled: "It's not difficult." If you want us to supply food for a long time, there is only one condition. Become a vassal of our dynasty. ”
"What?!" Helian Qi and Helian Zheng were shocked.
They thought that the other party would open their mouths, but they didn't expect such a big appetite.
Helian Zheng frowned and said, "The emperor of your country is very ambitious. Please change the three of you, even if you cede a few cities......"
"City?" Yan Mi put his hands around his chest, "We can fight the city by ourselves." It doesn't matter if you cede or not. Our country's food is obvious to all, you don't want it, some people want it. It's just a vassal country, and it's very preferential treatment for you. ”
"The regent and the emperor don't need to rush to conclusions." Yan Zhen smiled confidently, "It's better to wait and see next year." It's just that next year it won't be the same price. At the beginning of the year, our DPRK will continue to attack Shengguo. It's enough to swallow their three cities. ”
Three cities?! Helian Qi and Helian Zheng were shocked in their hearts. I received news that Shengguo had lost three cities and never recovered them.
Not only did it not take it back, but it was also built and renovated by the enemy. The news from the three cities was all good.
In winter, grain can be grown, and the people can be fed and clothed. No war, no fighting. It's like a dream.
If a person says yes, they will be skeptical.
The two said yes, and they yearned. As more and more people said yes, they became suspicious. Wasn't the person sent out to investigate being bribed?
Unified caliber, no other words.
That's unreal.
Now the people of that mysterious country are right in front of you. Helian Qi and Helian Zheng had to believe it. They will be able to give food, lots and lots of food.
After thinking about it, while occupying the city of Shengguo, he sent people deep into his country. The plot is huge.
"I am kind to Your Majesty, and I can't bear to fight." Bai Shifeng looked directly at Helian Zheng, "Send us to persuade your country." The regent might as well think carefully about how to choose. We are in no hurry and are waiting for your reply. Farewell. ”
The three of them turned and walked away together. Helian Qi and Helian Zheng's faces were gloomy and speechless.
Subject?
How can it be!
The emperor did not give an answer. Bai Shifeng and his entourage are happy to be idle, and they don't need to sell food anymore when the goal is achieved.
They stayed in the house every day to eat and drink, and their ears did not listen to what was going on outside the window. Without them to sell grain, the people complained bitterly. Seeing that the food is getting scarce and small, my heart is very anxious.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
Helian Qi picked up the pen but didn't know what to write: "Uncle Huang, can the people survive this winter?" ”
"It's hard to say." Helian Zheng looked outside, "Surviving the winter is not the end. They also have to farm hungry, waiting for the grain to sprout, grow, and mature. The grain stored in the palace is a drop in the bucket for the people of the whole country. Qi'er, we don't consume energy. ”
Because I can't afford it.
We must give an answer as soon as possible and bring in food to relieve the people's danger. Subject ...... If it is for the people......
It seems that God is pushing them too. Heavy snowfall has followed, the temperature continues to be low, and the roads are blocked. The first group of people who died of cold and starvation appeared, mostly the elderly.
The number of deaths was clearly written on the fold, and Helian Qi's hands trembled and a tear fell.
"Uncle Huang." He sat down decadently, "Actually, the subject country is quite good. At least the people will survive......"
"Okay." Helian Zheng sent guards to invite Bai Shifeng and others. The other party closed the door and didn't see him, and he didn't want to show up.
At the same time, a snowstorm broke out. Countless houses were crushed, frozen to death, starved to death, fell to death......
The death toll is rising day by day. It is useless to send soldiers to clear the snow for disaster relief, the snow does not stop, it does not stop.
This winter seems to be long and endless.
The guards sent news that Bai Shifeng and the others still refused to meet them, saying that it was the emperor's own choice.
Helian Qi and Helian Zheng understood, and the other party wanted to make them painful and let them know how wrong their choice was. The lives of the people are a merciless lesson for them.
Helian Qi and Helian Zheng set off and knelt in front of the courtyard of Bai Shifeng and his party in the heavy snow.
Request an interview.
The chill was biting, and the cold was so cold that the fingers froze.
The door finally opened, and Jiang Yiyun and Jiang Yunxuan invited them into the house to talk in detail.
With the support of the guards, Helian Qi and Helian Zheng slowly got up and walked into the courtyard.
in the hall.
Bai Shifeng and others ate hot pot around the table, steaming. When Yan Mi saw them, he picked up the meat slices and put them into his mouth: "The second negotiation, tell me about your demands." ”
The family moved chairs, and Helian Qi and Helian Zheng sat at the bottom.
Helian Qi clenched his fists and opened his mouth to speak.
Helian Zheng pressed his hand and spoke: "We need food." We agree to any conditions. Just say it. ”
"Becoming a subject was the price it used to be." Bai Shifeng raised his eyes to look at Helian Zheng, "Now." You want us to do it, unless you are obedient. Since then, there is no Wanning country, only the city of my country's Yunhong Dynasty. Did you say yes? ”
"If we say yes, you'll be able to bring in food?" Helian Zheng stared straight at Bai Shifeng, "Right away?" ”
"Right away." Bai Shifeng put down the bowl and swore to the sky, "You should make conditions, and we will release the grain immediately." ”
Yan Mi interjected: "Not only that. They will also send people to help with disaster relief. After all, the feelings of compatriots in a country are of course different. ”
"Good. We promise. The regent raised his hand, "high-five." No remorse. ”
Bai Shifeng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, walked over and high-fived Helian Zheng: "The covenant of three palms, don't go back." ”
After slapping three palms neatly, he turned his head and said, "Don't eat, work." Yan Mi went to gather people and put grain in Yan Jin. ”
"Eat this bite, this bite." Yan Mi frantically stuffed meat into his mouth, "You can't waste it." ”
"Can't waste it, give it to your pet." Yan Zhen directly dragged Yan Mi away.
After taking Jingcheng, Yan Mi fell in love with the leopard and got one as a pet. Eat and live together, not to mention how good the relationship is. Before leaving, he was reluctant to bring his pet.
Yan Zhen and Yan Mi went to work separately.
Bai Shifeng walked out of the courtyard with Helian Qi and Helian Zheng, and suddenly a cold wind blew.
Not to mention, it's cold. Bai Shifeng turned his head and asked, "Where is the most central location in the capital?" Take me there. ”
Helian Zheng nodded and led the way. All the way to a street, the doors of the shops are closed and there is no one to visit.
Who wants to go out on such a cold day. There is a five-story building in front of it, with a bead embedded in the roof. Bai Shifeng saw that it was good, and instantly spread his wings and flew up.
Helian Zheng and the others were extremely surprised to see him stop in mid-air. Bai Shifeng picked off the beads on the roof and smashed a punch to dent the roof.
Pulling out the orb, he carefully placed it. After a few moments, protection emanated from the inside of the orb, extending outward.
High-rise buildings, streets, houses, city walls......
Soon, protection enveloped the entire city. The temperature warms up and the chill dissipates.
Bai Shifeng floated down to the ground and folded his wings. Helian Zheng had something to ask, but he didn't know how.
"That's right. Wan Ning Guo is obedient, and I will report it immediately. Bai Shifeng turned his head and said, "Your Majesty will come soon, and you will be waiting for your life." ”
Your Majesty is coming? Helian Zheng responded.
It's hard to imagine what kind of existence His Majesty is in charge of this group of people. Care should be taken to avoid causing trouble. Bai Shifeng and his entourage acted separately and put down the orbs of constant temperature in each city.
Soldiers clear snow and roads. Yan Zhen led people to release grain, and Wan Ning returned to obedience, which should naturally have some welfare.
There will be no more free food. The people slowly recovered and built the collapsed houses.
Shops gradually opened, and the city was much more lively. Taking advantage of this gust of wind, the currency was exchanged aggressively. The copper coins were exchanged one to one, and the people were not unhappy.
There are many food shops on the street, and there are many different kinds of food. A few years ago, the whole city was bustling with activity.
The Royal Palace, the Great Hall.
The door of the space opened, and Bai Shifeng led everyone to kneel: "Welcome Your Majesty." Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. ”
A black paw stepped out, followed by a leopard's head. Zhu Qinghong sat on the back of the black panther, wearing a red dress and being glamorous.
Zhu Qinghong asked them to flatten down, walked to the dragon chair and sat down. The panther lay lazily on the side, licking its paws from time to time.
"You two are the emperor and regent of Wanning Kingdom?" Zhu Qinghong looked down at the two of them, "Raise your head." ”
Helian Qi and Helian Zheng looked up, never thinking that His Majesty was a beautiful woman. There was no evil as imagined, but a smile on the corner of his lips. It's not that the sense of oppression is full, and the behavior and speech are very relaxed.
Zhu Qinghong bowed: "There is just a shortage of a waiter from the Ministry of Works." ”
Bai Shifeng and the others were shocked, and directly gave the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works? They think that the giving is a bit high.
"Helian Zheng, appointed as the squire of the Ministry of Works." Zhu Qinghong smiled with his eyebrows, "The pavilions in the city are exquisite, and there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen." The construction of our country needs your part. As for Helian Qi, you are still young, so let's go to the academy first. ”
"Yes." Helian Qi was not very happy in his heart.
He is very talented, and although he is young, he has learned more than many adults.
Helian Zheng wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Bai Shifeng: "Your Majesty, attack Shengguo at the beginning of the year." Wan Ningguo can respond from the side. ”
Yan Mi glanced at Bai Shifeng. Regardless of whether Wan Ning Guo has action or not, Shengguo will perish. A war that is destined to be won, why pull people in?
Yan Zhen raised his eyebrows, when did he become so kind?
actually gave Wan Ning the country merits. However, it is really necessary to sit in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works.
"Yes." Zhu Qinghong responded, "There is no need for all the soldiers to be dispatched. It is enough to send a few teams of people to intercept the back road of Shengguo. ”
Helian Zheng took the order.
Zhu Qinghong was very interested in Wan Ningguo's architecture and took the panther to the city for a walk.
There are many high-rise buildings in the city, or three or four floors, and five stories in the center.
Carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite and complex.
It's more like a work of art than a building.
