Ding Jilin suddenly sheathed his sword, and immediately He heard the dragon's roar and stopped the follow-up attack, entering a 24-hour CD state. If the eldest princess continued to attack, he could only kill her with a single blow to the head.
"oh?"
A look of surprise appeared on Lin Shutong's pretty face, and his sword intent immediately disappeared. Suddenly, the bamboo leaves in the air and the sword tips condensed with dewdrops lost their power, and fell to the ground one after another, crackling.
The sound of dew dripping became one continuous sound.
"Chu Feng."
Lin Shutong frowned slightly, "He is one of the guardians of the Northern Territory, Ding Jilin, the Tiger of the Sky Tower?"
"!!!"
Ding Jilin only felt his scalp numb. Who gave this nickname? Guardian of the Northern Territory... I admit it, but the title Tiger of the Sky Tower is somewhat inappropriate. It always reminds people of the Tiger Ada of the Crime Unit!
??
"Exactly!"
Chu Feng cupped his fists and smiled, "Sister-in-law, when did you come to the imperial capital, you didn't even inform me. If I hadn't happened to go to pay my respects to my mother and passed by here, I'm afraid there would have been a big misunderstanding."
"Oh, I was passing by here to do some business." Ding Jilin said perfunctorily.
Chu Feng looked at Lin Shutong, "Sister, why did you get into a fight with your adopted brother?"
"A misunderstanding."
Lin Shutong's expression returned to calm, and he transformed into the cold and beautiful princess again, saying, "I am practicing my sword in seclusion here, but I don't want Ding Jilin to pass by and disturb my state of mind, so there is this misunderstanding."
"I see……"
Chu Feng nodded, turned to look at Ding Jilin, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Ding Jilin immediately told the story about Tongzhou's withholding of grain and grass.
"That's unreasonable!"
Before the young Human Emperor said anything, the eldest princess Lin Shutong on the side had her pretty face covered with frost. She gritted her silver teeth and said, "These are these idiots who only know how to scheming. How dare they dare to issue an edict issued by His Majesty?"
Turning a deaf ear to this, they dare to interfere with food and grass matters. What do these stupid people think? They don’t really think that after the Abyss, the undead, and the monsters destroy the Sky Tower and go south, their Tongzhou can be preserved, right?
?”
"You really can't tell."
Ding Jilin said sternly, "They may have even thought about the abyss, and how they will stay safe on one side or even cooperate with the other side after the undead go south."
"It's really hateful!"
Lin Shutong's little face turned pale with anger and said, "Let's go, Chu Feng, Ding Jilin, let's go see the Queen Mother and Shangzhu Kingdom and see what they say. This account must not be settled easily!"
"good!"
Chu Feng nodded.
Ding Jilin is dark
From the observation, Lin Shutong is Chu Feng's sister. Chu Feng is young and is not familiar with many things in the court. It seems that many things are actually decided by the eldest princess. As for Chu Feng, he obeys her words.
I'm very trusting, after all, it's unlikely that my sister will seize power.
…
Deep in the Royal Garden.
Empress Dowager He, Chu Yang of Shangzhu Kingdom and several important ministers were listening to the play.
After Chu Feng explained everything, Chu Yang became furious and said in a deep voice, "Come here, please summon an official from Tongzhou to meet you!"
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, the governor of Tongzhou came, trembling with fear. When he saw Ding Jilin, his forehead was covered with sweat. It was obvious that he was aware of the withholding of grain and grass, and might even be one of the participants.
"You bastards!"
Chu Yang pointed at the governor of Tongzhou and a group of Tongzhou officials, spitting and scolding Xingzi, "How dare you turn a deaf ear to His Majesty's imperial edict? The court has repeatedly emphasized that Sky Tower's food, fodder, and baggage must be carefully arranged and must not be delayed.
, do you think other people can’t understand these little tricks you bastards do?”
"Shangzhu Kingdom taught you a lesson!" Tongzhou Governor kowtowed repeatedly.
But there was a general behind him who gritted his teeth and said, "Shangzhu Kingdom, why should we supply food and grass to the Sky Tower? Has Shangzhu Kingdom forgotten that Marquis Tianji... our prince died with the sword of Shi Lan, the master of the Sky Tower?"
Come on, how do you settle this account? Did our monarch die in vain?"
"oh?"
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Are you... Chu Yu'an's old subordinate?"
"Exactly!"
"Then let me ask you something."
There was a smile on Chu Yang's lips, "Who is greater, your Majesty or your prince? Because of your Tianjihou, you don't even obey His Majesty's will, right?"
"I……"
"A piece of trash."
Chu Yang waved his hand, "Come here, pull him down and behead him immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey His Majesty's will will suffer this fate!"
"Shangzhu Kingdom!"
The general said angrily, "We will never forget the blood feud in Tongzhou. Even if Shangzhu Kingdom kills me, every Tongzhou people will remember that it was Sky Tower who killed Tianjihou Chu Yu'an!"
I can't listen anymore.
Ding Jilin suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the Star Meteor Sword with a "clang" sound. At the same time, the effect of the first sword was triggered. Suddenly, a wisp of blood-colored light in the blade of the divine sword attached to the Star Meteor Sword. He took out the sword with an arrow and a "puff" sound.
Pierce the opponent's heart, pierce the heart with a sword, create
The damage was so great that it directly emptied the opponent's health bar.
"you you……"
The general looked at Ding Jilin with eyes open, "How dare you kill...Kill the general of Chu in front of His Majesty and Shangzhu Kingdom..."
Ding Jilin's eyes were indifferent, he slowly pulled out the sword blade, looked at a group of Tongzhou officials, and said calmly, "Chu Yu'an went against the will of heaven, and it is not a pity to die. Who are you? The Sky Tower can even kill Chu Yu'an, how many more?"
Is it a lot to kill you?"
"..."
Queen Mother He looked indifferently and said nothing.
Chu Yang smiled slightly, "Come here, drag this traitor's body down and show his head to the public. This is the consequence of disobeying the holy will."
"Ding Jilin."
Chu Yang took a deep breath, turned to look at Ding Jilin, and said, "Don't worry, we have these 20,000 stones of food and grass now. We happen to have a batch of food and grass that was originally going to be distributed to the Flame God Legion. Since Tongzhou has withheld the food and grass from the Sky Tower,
, then give priority to the reissue of 20,000 stones of grain and grass to the Sky Tower. You can immediately take my handwritten letter to the Ministry of War to receive this batch of grain and grass. The Ministry of War will send cavalry to accompany you and escort you to transport the grain and grass all the way back to the Sky Tower."
"Thanks."
Ding Jilin nodded and smiled.
The next second, the task was followed up, and the next step was to escort the food and grass.
…
Ding Jilin took Chu Yang's handwriting and left.
Chu Feng and Lin Shutong sent him off together.
"Brother."
Chu Feng frowned and said, "Every time I go to court, there will always be quarrels in the court over various things. It would be great if you could fight for me in the court... Otherwise, I will grant you a position, brother."
From now on, it would be nice to just stand guard in the court. When I encounter undecided matters, my brother can also say a few words for me, and..."
He lowered his voice and said, "Generally, matters in the court are ultimately decided by the queen mother and Shangzhu Kingdom. If you are here... you can also help me."
Behind him, Lin Shutong raised his lips slightly and slowed down, letting the two of them go first. He was too lazy to eavesdrop. Besides, as a swordsman in the holy realm, he could basically hear every word of Chu Feng's words.
Very clear.
"inappropriate."
Ding Jilin said, "Although I also want to help you, if I enter the court, wouldn't there be no one in the Sky Tower? To put it bluntly, the Sky Tower needs me more, and I also like that kind of knife-tip licking."
Bloody day, Chu Feng, my emotional intelligence is very low. You see, I just killed the deputy general in public. There must be many people criticizing me. If I have a political mind like me and stand in the court, why don't I quarrel with people every day?
"
Behind him, Lin Shutong couldn't help but chuckle. He, Ding Jilin, has a low emotional intelligence? His sword was probably not only
He was killed for Tongzhou officials to see, and also for Empress Dowager He and Chu Yang to see. The people from the Sky Tower drew their swords and killed people in the imperial capital. This way they could show the strength of the Sky Tower. On the contrary, if he showed weakness, the forces in the imperial capital would be destroyed.
He will continue to test and provoke the Sky Tower, which is the real trouble.
"All right."
Chu Feng was a little disappointed, "Then...brother, please come to the imperial capital more often when you are free...I will definitely find a way to make my brother a general and a marquis..."
Ding Jilin was a little moved, but suppressed it. He lowered his voice and said, "Chu Feng, I don't understand something."
"Brother, please tell me."
"Why is your surname Chu, but your sister's surname is Lin?"
"ah?"
Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Actually, in the Great Chu Dynasty, there are two royal surnames. Chu and Lin are both descendants of the royal family. As for the specific reason... I don't know exactly. I heard from the old men in the Ancestral Temple that it seemed that they were popular in the past.
When the gods passed on their mantles, there were two surnames that were both descendants of the God of Fire. Therefore, in the bloodline of the Chu Dynasty, the men were all surnamed Chu and the women were all surnamed Lin. As for why this is the case, I don’t know very well.”
"That's it..."
Ding Jilin understood it, and even if he asked, he didn't ask.
Behind him, Lin Shutong chuckled. She didn't know much about this matter.
…
Yandi City, North Square, a motorcade is waiting for Ding Jilin.
There are a total of 20+ vehicles, accompanied by hundreds of Yandi City patrol cavalry, all waiting for Ding Jilin to go north together. As for why 20+ vehicles can transport 20,000 stones of grain and grass, Ding Jilin is not sure. Anyway, this is the system.
Once set, you can just assume that the load capacity of these grain trucks is about the same as that of Indian motorcycles.
"Set off!"
As soon as Ding Jilin arrived, the motorcade set off.
The players setting up stalls in the square were stunned, and many people cast their eyes over. After all, few people could trigger this level of mission. The food and grass convoy set off from Yandi City in a mighty manner, and even the patrolling cavalry had to personally prepare for the task.
They cleared the way, this was so impressive, it was a treatment that ordinary players would never dare to think of.
For a time, everyone was talking about it——
"Damn it, did you see it? It seems like it was a mission given by Cao Cao, to transport food and grass? It's such a big fanfare, and so many NC troops are following it, it's so impressive..."
"Indeed, there was not a single fart noise when we were doing the mission. Look at this mission."
"Look, look at the title above Ding Jilin's head. Damn it, General Zhaolie... This title sounds so domineering!"
