Chapter 201 The beast is now, God bless my country!
Chapter 201 The mythical beast appears, God bless our country!
When Kang ran to the southwest, there was only one vassal country southeast of the capital of Izumo, and that was the Xi Kingdom.
It was the most remote area south of the Xia Dynasty. In recent decades, except for a city that had risen from the ground, the rest was nothing but vast green forests, and of course there were countless uncivilized savages and barbarian tribes.
When it comes to fighting and killing, the barbarians can still challenge the Xia Dynasty, but when it comes to farming and growing crops, the barbarians are far behind.
Well, the difference between cloud and mud is that there is no way to compare the two.
Therefore, when Kang ran to the southwest, he would definitely not go to the territory of the Southern Barbarians. The only possible place to go was the Xidu of the Xi Kingdom.
Lord Izumo thought in his heart that although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, the fact did happen. Dangkang probably went to Xidu.
After all, Xidu was built by the divine descendants of the Imperial Clan, and with the advanced farming techniques of the Xia dynasties, it is not impossible to create miracles.
The Lord of Izumo was so depressed. He and Xi didn't deal with each other originally. He had been depressed because of Xidu for most of the year. Now that Xidu had snatched away the sacred beast Kang, he only felt a tightness in his chest and a faint pain.
It could be a relapse of an old illness, or it could be heartache, or it could be both.
Lord Izumo looked at the hundreds of acres of golden farmland below and the cheering people, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"How could it be Xidu? Why did Xidu snatch away Gu's sacred beast? What on earth is going on? Didn't the caravan say that the people of Xidu are lazy and neglect farming, and they are fooling Gu?"
Thinking of this, a look of anger appeared on the face of King Izumo. He hated his subordinates fooling him the most. Izumo Country could lose to Xi Country in farming, but it could never lose to a country that wasted its time on farming.
Soon, Brother Dao was summoned by Lord Izumo.
Because of the previous Hundred Refining Divine Weapon incident, Brother Dao's job as the leader of the caravan was gone and he was idle at home sadly. When he heard that the king summoned him today, he felt excited in his heart. Could it be that the king wants to use him again?
"I want to ask you, have you ever said before that the people of Xi Kingdom are lazy, do not do their jobs properly, and waste time on farming?"
Brother Dao obviously still couldn't figure out the situation, but he recalled the scene of a group of people in Xidu not working and watching one person working, and he felt confident, so he nodded solemnly.
"Reporting back to your Majesty, this is exactly what happened. Xiguo spent a lot of money to buy grain from various countries last year. The root cause is that the people in Xidu are too lazy and they don't know how to farm. Your Majesty, our Izumo Nation will have a great harvest this year. If we can
Transporting grain to Xidu will definitely fetch a good price..."
Brother Dao, who had a strong desire to survive, suddenly had an idea and tried his best to show off his business experience, hoping to get the monarch to re-use him.
However, what happened was contrary to expectations. After hearing this, Lord Izumo became more and more angry the more he listened, the mythical beast went to Xi Kingdom when Kangdu was the capital, and you actually told Guxidu that the people were lazy and could not cultivate the land well. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
"Insolent! No wonder you are not doing things well. You are really stupid and angry. Our sacred beast of Izumo Kingdom, Dangkang, was taken away by Xidu. You know Dangkang, and now the world is in trouble, you still come to tell me
Gu Xi can’t even farm, what a coward!”
Boom!
Brother Dao's originally smiling face suddenly froze, and there was a loud bang in his mind, and he was dumbfounded.
How is this possible? People in Xidu are so lazy, how can they grow good crops!
Brother Dao asked himself over and over again in his mind, his eyes full of disbelief, but he was not stupid, and immediately defended: "Your Majesty, spare your life, I don't dare to deceive your Majesty, I haven't gone to Xidu to do business in several months.
My impression of Xidu was only half a year ago. I don’t know why it was a good harvest, but I was attracted to it by Dangkang!”
The Lord of Izumo was already furious, so how could he listen to Brother Dao's sophistry? He couldn't vent his anger on Xiguo and Dangkang, but he still had no problem in dealing with a guilty minister.
"Someone is coming!"
"I'm here!"
Soldiers on both sides were lined up and waiting for orders.
"Pull this unfaithful, unfilial, deceitful piece of trash out and behead him!" The Lord of Izumo put his hand on his waist and pointed at someone with a majestic aura, as powerful as a prison.
Brother Dao was paralyzed with fear, his eyes full of fear and despair, and he kept begging for mercy.
However, no matter how much he begged for mercy, it was of no avail, and the Izumo King ignored him at all.
Not long after, there was a pitiful howl outside the hall, followed by a deathly silence throughout the hall.
The maids and soldiers kept silent for fear of offending the king.
After killing people, Lord Izumo was not in a good mood. The murderous vent just now was just an incompetent roar out of anger. In fact, it did not solve any problem at all.
"Oh, actually it has nothing to do with him. Forget it, kill them all. The direct descendants of the Youxi family are indeed extraordinary. I used to underestimate Xiyun Man."
In the main hall, Lord Izumo finally calmed down and sighed with emotion.
...
The Xidu of Xi Kingdom was eight hundred miles away.
Yao Yun was pulled out of Xidu by Wu Tong early in the morning and came to the fields.
"Second Elder, what's wrong with you today? You dragged me out in a hurry."
Wu Tong said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, I just had a whim and did a divination and learned that today the divine beast Dang Kang will appear in the land of Zhuxia. I feel that we all have hope!"
When Yao Yun heard this, he also remembered that the second elder had told him about this matter. Before, he had only heard it as a myth and legend, but when this day really came, he suddenly felt a little nervous and looking forward to it.
"Second Elder, do you think Dangkang is coming back? I heard that there are naturally fertile soils and fertile fields in other places, with an output of three to four stones per mu, not to mention five or six stones. Can we really stand out from them?"
To be honest, Yao Yun really has no confidence now. The yield of three stones per mu is actually not high at all. Not only compared with the previous life in his memory, but also compared with this world.
Wu Tong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't belittle yourself. Although the records in the book are correct, it is a very small amount of land. Most of the land can only produce one or two stones per mu. For thousands of years, the fertile and fertile land has been favored by Dangkang. The remaining
It’s all ordinary farming!”
Yao Yun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Second Elder, does Dangkang appear every year?" Yao Yun thought of a very important question.
Wu Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course not. Dang Kang may appear for two consecutive years, or may not appear for several years. Even the Emperor of Heaven will not restrain this auspicious beast of heaven and earth. Everything depends on luck and cannot be forced."
Yao Yun nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This is considered normal. If Dangkang appears every year, then soon the world will be fertile and fertile.
Yao Yungang wanted to continue chatting with Wu Tong, but suddenly a golden light appeared on the horizon, golden, like dancing characters, from far to near.
"Second...Second Elder, there is a golden light on the horizon. What is that?" Yao Yun's heart was pounding and he pointed to the horizon in disbelief.
The second elder turned back suddenly, his face filled with joy: "Your Majesty, Dangkang is indeed here! Hahahaha, God bless my country, Xi."
