Volume 2: The Flame Blooms the River of Blood Chapter 49: The Reason Why the Four Seasons Are Like Spring
At this time, Xiao Di's mother and son, Liu Mingyue and Hua Rui in the house also walked out of the house and came behind Ye Qingfeng.
When the person who came saw the trident with his cold eyes, his eyes softened in an instant, and he quickly ran down the steps, knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Qingfeng, covered his left chest with his right hand and lowered his head. "Dear Shangguan, Bright Country Comet City Labai Town Town Si Ximo, see. ”
Zhensi Ximo didn't know Ye Qingfeng, but he could guess one or two. In the past few days, the news that Moses Gu attacked the 30,000 advance army of Sakura Crossing and was wiped out has already spread all over the country, and which normal civilian will have demon weapons?
Ye Qingfeng nodded, got up and took a step forward, bent down and pulled him up. "Lord Zhensi, it's not that I want to make trouble here, it's that your soldiers are too rude! He said that you ordered the grain to be collected once every three days, and that there should be as much as it should be collected, right?"
Hearing this, Zhen Si Rabait frowned, turned his head to look at the officers and soldiers lying on the ground, and then scolded. "What about your farts? When will I tell you to harvest food once every three days? How much more do you collect? You don't want to be better, do you? How much benefit do you get?"
The officers and soldiers now knew that they had planted it, and they really couldn't understand who the young man in front of them was. I was responsible for inspecting these villages, and for two months, I also harvested grain once every three days, but I didn't expect to encounter a ruthless stubble today.
Then he knelt down on one knee and said. "Lord Zhensi, I'm also for the good of the country, I collect according to the amount you marked, but I can't collect much, so it's changed to three days!"
The more Ye Qingfeng listened, the more confused he became, and he stepped forward directly and asked. "Lord Zhensi, how much do you prescribe to collect, and how often?"
The town secretary nodded politely and replied. "Shangguan, I stipulate that it will be harvested once a month, because now it is cold and snowy, and the entire Guangming Kingdom needs to hunt, so each household will receive 20 catties of meat each time, which is the weight of two rabbits!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Di became angry when he heard this, ran to Ye Qingfeng's side, and tugged on his arm. "Brother, this officer and soldier will take away 20 catties in three days!
"What?" When the town secretary heard this, he was also a little surprised, isn't this a rampant expropriation? No wonder more and more people are running away from these villages in Labait Town, and it turns out that this patrol officer and soldier are doing it.
The officers and soldiers were stunned again when they heard this, and then they got up, their eyes were on fire, and they stretched out their hands to grab Xiaodi, but fortunately they were blocked by Ye Qingfeng, and the officers and soldiers said innocently. "Shangguan, Lord Zhensi, don't listen to this little ghost's nonsense, I just collect two taels in three days, and I just collect 20 catties a month, that is, today. I saw that the eaves of his house were all covered with meat, and my eyes were red, so I wanted to snatch it, but fortunately you stopped me. ”
Where is Ye Qingfeng so easy to deceive, although he still has shallow social experience, and he has never seen a few people, but who should he believe and who he should not believe, he also has a judgment in his heart, so he shook his head slightly and said angrily. "Lord Zhensi, this patrol officer and soldier are obviously taking advantage of their authority to do mischief! Have you seen this village, there are only three families left! If you don't punish him again, it is estimated that there will be no one left!"
When the town secretary heard this, he turned around and shouted at the soldiers without saying a word. "Tie him up for me, and when I get back to town in a while, I'll interrogate him myself and see how much meat I got for myself!"
As soon as the words fell, the accompanying patrol soldier stepped forward directly, tied up the officer and soldier, and threw him into the sleigh car.
Then, Zhensi Ximo smiled and said, "Shangguan, I looked at your weapon just now, are you the new general of Sakura Crossing, Ye Qingfeng?"
When Ye Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect this Xi Mo to be able to guess himself, so he nodded and asked curiously. "I'm Ye Qingfeng, but how do you know me?"
When Xi Mo heard this, he smiled heartily, "Shangguan, the news of your victory over Moses' ancient advance army has long been spread all over the country. They all said that the general was armed with a golden trident, and the general Moses Gu threw away his armor and destroyed the whole army. How could I not know the Trident?"
Ye Qingfeng was not much surprised, after all, he had let go of more than 20,000 enemy soldiers, and it was normal for the news to spread all over the place. "Hey, it seems that if you travel alone in the future, you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, so it's better not to transform into a trident. ”
But at this moment, Xi Mo took a step back and knelt directly on the ground. "General, there is something to ask for below, can you go to the town of Labait?"
Ye Qingfeng was not easy to refuse, and he just wanted to understand the reason for the sudden change in the climate of the Guangming Kingdom, so after a simple agreement, he turned to Xiaodi's mother and son and said. "Auntie, Xiaodi, if you wait until your uncle comes back, you can go to Huadu, and I will arrange a livelihood for you!"
From time to time, Ye Qingfeng, Liu Mingyue and Hua Rui came to Labait Town on the sleigh of the town division.
Ye Qingfeng looked through the window, the whole town was not big, it was not small, and the streets were snow-white.
At this time, it is almost impossible for the town to clear the snow, not to mention that the heavy snow has been falling for two months in a row, it is said that the snow shell is hard, and the sleigh cannot be crushed when running on it, even if it is a hoe and planing, it is also more difficult.
The merchants on both sides dug a staircase in front of the door, and they could only sweep a small piece of snow in front of the door every day.
At this time, Xi Mo lowered his head, sighed heavily, and said to himself. "General, do you know that because there is no summer and no winter in the entire Guangming Country, grain is harvested four times a year, and many families do not store grain, and the grain in the past is exported to all places. But now, if you have money, you can't buy food, and now the animals are basically gone, and if you don't change the climate, I'm afraid that people will eat people next!"
After another ten minutes, the carriage stopped in front of a large courtyard, Ye Qingfeng stepped out of the carriage, and his feet stomped on the ground for a moment and his feet creaked, which sounded very harsh.
Several people followed Xi Mo and walked down the high stairs to the door of the Zhensi Mansion, and after passing through the gate, they went up a new step. Ye Qingfeng only noticed at this time that the Zhensi Mansion didn't need to go through the door at all, and the current wall was covered by snow, which was just a threshold compared to the ground.
A few people walked in the corridor, like terracotta warriors and horses in the pit of Qinling, Ye Qingfeng then understood why the roofs here were all cone-shaped, if it was a gentle slope, I was afraid that the heavy snow would not crush all his houses.
Entering the main room of the Zhensi Mansion, Liu Mingyue and Hua Rui jumped and ran straight to the stove.
The next person brought a pot of hot tea to Ye Qingfeng and a few people, Ye Qingfeng took a sip, thought of the problem that had been unsolvable before, and then put the teacup and asked. "Lord Zhensi, do you know why the Guangming Kingdom has become like this! Now in the scorching July, this place is only 1,000 kilometers away from Huadu, how can the mountains be covered by heavy snow?"
Hearing this, the town secretary shook his head helplessly, and his eyes drifted over a touch of gloom. "General, that's exactly why I asked you to come, listen to me slowly......"
According to the town division, because the country of Guangming is located in a basin and surrounded by mountains, the warm wind on the coast cannot blow here. Moreover, there is only one high mountain on the main peak in the whole area, and the rest are plains, so the temperature cannot be retained at all.
A thousand years ago, this place was not called the Land of Light, but a place of exile for criminals, known as the Jade Dragon Snow Plain, a forbidden place for humans!
The first lord of the Kingdom of Light was called Guhild, who, like Nizar, was made a general by King Mayana, and because of his outstanding contributions, this area was divided by the king as a fief after his retirement......
At this time, Ye Qingfeng waved his hand to interrupt Xi Mo's words and asked. "Lord Zhensi, I'm a little confused, they all say that it is a forbidden land for humans, how can such a fief be distributed to meritorious heroes?"
Xi Mo smiled, and then said. "General, now is the time to get to the point......"
Ye Qingfeng listened to it, and imagined the scene in his mind.
Lord Gu Hilde once took down a supreme artifact in the Demon Dragon Gu, which was far more practical than the royal family's national protection artifact spirit shield.
That supreme artifact is called the Sun Orb, which can be big or small, when it is large, it can grow to a diameter of about two meters, and when it is small, it is the size of a palm. When the mantra is recited, the Sun Orb burns with a fire hot enough to melt iron and steel.
According to legend, the ancient Sild Lord passed through this place on a campaign, because the soldiers could not endure the severe cold, they fell ill one after another, and the strong Ancient Sild Lord spent three days and three nights climbing the 3-kilometer main peak alone, placing the sun orb on the top of the mountain, and reciting the mantra.
Unexpectedly, within ten days, the entire Jade Dragon Snow was caused by the heat brought by the Sun Orb, the ice and snow melted, warm as spring, and then the rivers were vertical and horizontal, and flowers and plants sprouted.
The main peak of the country of light is also called the Sun Mountain by later generations because of this legend. After the lord retired, he came to this land with his family and servants, and lived a life of herding without competition with the world.
For thousands of years, because of the special geographical conditions of the Guangming Country, the land is fertile, and the four seasons are warm like spring, and more and more people have come to settle here, and finally the current Guangming Country has been formed.
Speaking of this, Xi Mo took a sip of tea and sighed again. "General, I suspect that the Lord was killed, because two months ago the Lord went to the palace of the Holy Land to attend the succession ceremony of Mosesgu, and within a few days the temperature dropped, and snow fell. ”
Ye Qingfeng finally understood, it turned out that the temperature of the Guangming Kingdom was not brought by the sun, but the sun orb kept burning on the main peak. Then he asked. "Lord Zhenji, how do you think I can help?"
Zhensi Ximo replied. "General, because of my humble status, I can't enter the Guojue Mansion to see the Guojue and the Lord. But I don't want to see the Kingdom of Light fall like this, so I ask the general to go to the Sun to see the prince and help the Kingdom of Light regain its temperature. ”
After a pause, Xi Mo said again. "General, if my guess is correct, you are here to win over the Kingdom of Light to resist Moses Gu! If you can help the Kingdom of Light regain temperature, then won't the Kingdom of Light and Sakura be closer than brothers in the future?"
When Ye Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes stared at Xi Mo and he couldn't say a word. Ximo, a small town secretary, can actually see through his own heart, and can guess what he is doing here. But it's really like the Chinese sentence, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, Ye Qingfeng also sincerely admires it in his heart.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingfeng got up, covered his left chest with his right hand, bowed to Xi Mo with Mayana etiquette, and said. "Lord Zhensi, if I can really speak, then I will definitely recommend you to the lord, with your wisdom, you should not be a town secretary on the border. Thank you for your advice!"
