Chapter 56: In the Fire Eater Thunderball
The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!
It's just that for the people of Li, prosperity will cause suffering for the people; death will cause suffering for the people!
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but shook his head while sighing deeply.
I heard Wu Jingmo slowly open his mouth, his expression a little more determined than before, with a serious look on his face, and said:
"At present, we are basically certain that the sudden fire of the giant dragon and phoenix lanterns during the Lantern Festival has something to do with Beiduan Kingdom! Maybe it was Beiduan's master who sneaked into Jinghua City and used the name of sky fire, supplemented by prophecies to attack the heart.
Deliberately set fire to the auspicious dragon and phoenix lanterns!"
He paused and glanced around the people in the hall, confirming that Chu Lu Chengfeng, Tian Zifang, Zhui Feng, and the Youjia lantern maker were all listening to his words carefully, then he cleared his throat and spoke.
:
"Now, let's think about it seriously. How did the people in the North End successfully achieve their plan? For example, the first step for them to do this was to know that you were going to make this giant dragon and phoenix, which symbolizes auspiciousness descending from the sky.
Huadeng. So where did the initial news leak out? Please think about it carefully and answer me."
As Wu Jingmo spoke, his eyes were already fixed on the craftsman who made the lamps in the You family.
"You are still doubting me, are you? Why can't you let go of your prejudice against me? I, You, am not afraid of slanting shadows! Our You family is also a famous lantern family in Qingzhou! If the governor of Qingzhou wants to make lanterns, it must be
Come and visit our home! As for why the prince asked Qingzhou Zhizhou for this mercury lamp, I told you, I don’t know!"
The man from the You family was already quite impatient, and Wu Jingmo would be offended if he asked again.
Zhui Feng saw that he was about to jump up and curse, so a big hand covered the back of the man's neck with lightning speed.
Before anyone could say anything, the craftsmen of the You family honestly explained their family background and their eighteen generations of ancestors.
"Speaking of which, our hometown, Qingzhou, is a barren land with barren land. There are only large stretches of bamboo seas that cover the sky and form forests. Our Qingzhou is also rich in moso bamboo, so every household in Qingzhou does some bamboo crafts to make a living, such as weaving flower baskets.
, bamboo baskets and the like, take them out of the mountains and exchange them for some rations and money back."
"What did you say? Qingzhou!"
When Wu Jingmo heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt his lengthy chatter and asked.
"Yes! Qingzhou! Look at Mr. Xiao Wu's expression. Have you ever been to our Qingzhou? Our Youjia, like most poor people in Qingzhou, in order to fill the stomachs of the whole family, we also make bamboo and wood in our spare time.
I made a living doing handicrafts. In my great-grandfather’s generation, I mainly switched to making lanterns.”
When the craftsman Youjia saw Wu Jingmo's surprised and happy expression, he also relaxed a little, and then continued:
"Don't underestimate this lantern tying! Lantern tying is not a simple bamboo and wood craft. It requires not only a pair of skillful hands, but also a unique ingenuity. Our grandfather is so smart and skillful.
One man, without realizing it, his reputation has skyrocketed. Anyone who wants to make lanterns for a hundred miles around comes to see our Mr. Youjia."
"You must be the third generation here, right? However, folk crafts are usually passed down to one's own bloodline, so as not to steal the unique skills to outsiders. So, eldest brother, are you a direct blood relative of Mr. Youfu?
?”
Lu Chengfeng's mind was spinning rapidly. When he thought that the eldest brother in front of him might have a fraction of the same blood as Miss Youjia, the purple-clothed fairy, he smiled all over his face, intending to settle the relationship with his natal family in advance?
The attentive smile on his face was seen right through.
The eldest brother from the You family laughed and joked:
"Little brother, are you still thinking about our eldest daughter, Miss Youjia? I am the cousin of your sweetheart, eldest daughter! Hahahahahaha..."
"Cousin? Hello, cousin! Cousin, take a seat! Riding on the bottom lane, disrespectful!"
After Lu Chengfeng heard this, he was dumbfounded. He immediately reacted quickly, cupped his fists, smiled a little awkwardly, and said.
The smile in Brother You's eyes grew stronger and he continued:
"I am Bucai, the third generation descendant of our You family lanterns, and the nephew of the current Master Youfu. Both my father and Master Youfu are the biological sons of my grandfather, but the current Master Youfu is the legitimate son, and my father is
Concubine. He inherited the family property, and my father inherited his unique craftsmanship. It is fair!"
Since Lu Chengfeng entered Jinghua City, he has been hearing various other comments from Di Shu.
This kind of overt and covert unfairness not only happens in the homes of ordinary people like Youfu, but also happens every day in the Dajing Palace, among the extremely noble princes, that is, the current crown prince and the three princes.
It's happening to us.
Although their status is different, the dramas are all the same old routines.
Lu Chengfeng waved his hand and signaled:
"What's the point of a concubine? I, Lu Chengfeng, am also a concubine's imperial grandson, oh, no! It's a wild imperial grandson! My father, the current Crown Prince, picked him up from the mountains on the way! Hahahahaha...
"
Lu Chengfeng has never been shy about mentioning his life experience.
The past is past, and everyone's life experience is a foregone conclusion. Why can't we face everything calmly?
Only the present is the most important, be happy every day!
The other four people were all infected by his open-minded laughter, and the atmosphere relaxed. They chatted for a long time, and the topics were far away.
Zhui Feng, on the other hand, has never changed his strong curiosity as a teenager.
As soon as the air became quiet, Zhui Feng hurriedly asked Wu Jingmo:
"Brother Jingmo just asked about Qingzhou? Did you think of something? Did you find the key to unlock all the mysteries?"
Wu Jingmo smiled and nodded. Seeing everyone looking at him with curiosity, he explained:
"Yes! As soon as the word Qingzhou came out of Brother You's mouth, it suddenly dawned on me! By the way, Qingzhou is the hometown of the former Prime Minister Tang Yuanzhi! I don't need to explain the next words for you to understand.
Alright?"
"That's natural! Tang Yuanzhi is the prince's father-in-law! The prince just panicked seven days ago
I was busy looking for someone to make lanterns, but of course it was too late! Then I could only find ready-made ones from familiar places and modify them!"
Tian Zifang also suddenly realized the truth.
"That's exactly what it is! Recently, the prince has been grounded and punished in Chonghua Palace, and he can't leave the palace to send people on errands. He must have found the female family members of the Tang Dynasty to enter the palace in the name of visiting relatives, and ordered them to do it!"
Wu Jingmo looked at Tian Zifang with encouraging eyes, another smile crept onto his face, and said.
"Besides, your Youjia lanterns are already quite famous in the palace, and they have been used for some years. Even if Tang Yuanzhi is ill in bed and cannot make the decision, a woman doesn't understand the market, so leaving this job to a famous craftsman from her hometown will always
It’s unmistakable!”
Lu Chengfeng continued what Wu Jingmo said and continued to speculate.
"Then it comes back to the question just now, how did the people in the North End know about this?"
Wu Jingmo turned the conversation back and asked.
"It can't be that the prince deliberately spread the news, right?"
Zhui Feng had no political power in his heart. With this thought in his mind, he blurted out the words regardless of the situation.
It doesn’t matter if he is making jaw-droppingly treasonous remarks or not! As long as he wants to say something, he will speak my mind and speak my mind!
Lu Chengfeng had the same temperament and temperament as him since he was a child. However, after entering Jinghua City, although it was not long, he was overtly and covertly influenced by Jinghua City and was no longer as outspoken as he was in Biyun Valley.
.
Perhaps, this is called growth, which is obtained at the cost of the pain that arises from unknown sources in the heart.
"Prince? How is it possible? He is the crown prince of a country! From now on, all of us in Dajing will belong to him! How could he do such a thing of destroying the Great Wall!"
Brother You shook his head like a rattle and denied it repeatedly.
Although the current prince had always had a bad reputation in the hearts of the people, he believed that it was absolutely impossible for him to collude with the people from the north to do such a dirty thing and bring trouble to his mother country!
This road is blocked, so it is better to change the entry point and think again.
After Lu Chengfeng thought about it for a while, he suggested that everyone re-examine the whole incident of the lighting of the dragon and phoenix lantern from the perspective of people in the north.
As Zhui Feng talked, his interest returned to the Fire Devouring Thunder Bead:
"I heard that this fire-devouring thunder bead is so powerful! It can instantly destroy an entire grassland with just a spark! It is for this reason that Yingbubo's fire control skills are invincible in the northern end country of the wilderness! After all, there is no place like this.
Most of the land is grassland! Among the four great masters in the world, I, Dajing, Bei Duan, Nan Li, and Xi Mo, each occupy one! Among them, Bei Duan, the one with the most skillful fire control skills!"
"Oh! Yes! I've also heard about this fire-devouring thunder bead! I heard that the barbarians in the north are now starting to use this thing on the battlefield. Hey, it's such a small thing, so you really can't underestimate it! It's a rumor.
, that’s called a hundred hits, and in the blink of an eye, my army camp of King Dajing can be burned into flames!"
Chapter completed!
