The speed of the third-level spiritual beast Sharp-Beaked Eagle is really fast. It only took the two of them less than half a day to fly over Pancheng.
The terrain of the Wind and Fire Kingdom gradually rises from east to west, and when we reach the westernmost Pancheng, there are many large and small peaks standing here. Legend has it that when the Wind and Fire Kingdom was just founded, it fought with other countries, and the final decisive point was here.
Pan City. Relying on Pan City's easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain, the Wind and Fire Kingdom won a great victory and simply chose to build the imperial city here.
The buildings in Pancheng are all built in the rolling mountains or at the foot of the mountains, which look very majestic from the air. The royal palace of the Wind and Fire Kingdom is built on the highest mountain.
The golden palace wall stands high, and various bright lights are hung inside the palace wall, which looks even more magnificent against the dusk. The towering mountain peak is like a giant hand, holding this golden little statue.
The tripod is held in the palm of the hand.
And the entire mountain range, stretching from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, has countless guards stationed there. If there is an enemy attack, in such a terrain, it may be difficult to capture the imperial city without ten times the military strength.
Lin Lang stared thoughtfully at the brightly lit palace, wondering what he was thinking.
"What are you doing here? Did you kill anyone?"
Hua Luofeng asked lightly. Without the need for words, Hua Luofeng could already feel a faint murderous aura from Lin Lang's body.
This was a sight that had never been seen before. Although Lin Lang usually acted carelessly with the support of the demon spirit, Hua Luofeng rarely felt anger or murderous intent from him.
Today, it was indeed the first time that I felt Lin Lang's murderous intention so strongly!
"Um."
Lin Lang nodded gently, his eyes turned golden, and the sharp-billed eagle quietly descended to the palace and circled in order to observe the situation in the palace up close.
For Lin Lang and Hua Luofeng, the guards here are equivalent to ants. No matter how large the number is, they will not pose any threat to Lin Lang and Hua Luofeng. The only thing that needs attention is the Taoist masters in the palace.
.
Although the Wind and Fire Kingdom is not considered a big country in the Southern Territory, this can be seen from the ranking of the sects that depend on the Wind and Fire Kingdom. However, it is still one of the forty-three countries of the Wind and Fire Kingdom. It is impossible for the emperor not to have masters around him.
.As long as there are no monks who are too high-level, the palace itself and Hua Luofeng can come and go at will!
"Yes!"
Two figures that were different from ordinary people appeared in Lin Lang's field of vision. Even though they were separated by the thick palace wall, Lin Lang could still feel the powerful aura coming from them.
Three thick beams of light rose into the sky, one at the first level of the Wandering Spirit Realm, and the other at the second level of the Wandering Spirit Realm!
In the small palace, there were actually two powerful people in the wandering spirit realm hidden. There were dozens of people in the spirit realm who were left, and Lin Lang had no time to count them.
"Brother Hua, I might have to trouble you to take action later."
Lin Lang had no confidence that he could easily defeat two people in the Soul-Wandering Realm, let alone dozens of people in the Soul-Wandering Realm. But if Hua Luofeng, a third-level helper in the Soul-Wandering Realm, was added, the situation would be reversed.
"Happy to oblige."
Hua Luofeng smiled faintly. In the previous training and battles, the two of them had already developed a good understanding of each other. Although Lin Lang was only at the ninth level of the Yuling Realm, he could explode with the magic weapon in his hand at the second level of the Yuling Realm.
The combat power is no less than the third level of the Yuling Realm. Now that he has reached the ninth level of the Yuling Realm, Hua Luofeng has never seen him explode with all his strength. And Hua Luofeng's strength has never been his realm, but his superb swordsmanship.
.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Lin Lang patted the sharp-beaked eagle on its back, and then it stopped circling and turned into a sharp arrow, shooting straight towards the palace.
Inside the palace hall.
The emperor of the Wind and Fire Kingdom, Yan Chengyu, was sitting in the main hall, with two old men in commoner clothes standing beside him. The old man had a white beard, and looked like a fairy. His Highness and the ministers kowtowed, and it was clearly evening.
, the emperor still called them all over, it was obviously something big.
"The famine in the south of the Yangtze River has been going on for three months! A whole three months! Tens of thousands of people died! Now the memorial of Zhongyong City has been handed over to me personally! Who can explain it to me?
What on earth is going on!!”
Yan Chengyu threw the memorial on the ground angrily, and all the officials looked at an old man with a stooped figure.
The old man was slightly startled when he heard this, and knelt tremblingly in front of Yan Chengyu.
He is the chief agricultural officer responsible for the management of chestnuts in the south of the Yangtze River. Cheng Feinan, who is sixty-five years old this year, is still on the front line of the management of chestnuts in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that famine has broken out in Jiangnan for three consecutive months, he
Cheng Feinan naturally became the first person to bear the brunt.
"Your Majesty! As early as March, when the famine first appeared, the veteran had already reported it, but... it's just that the Ministry of Household Affairs has not allocated funds for a long time. The veteran has no choice!!"
Cheng Feinan said with a grimace that he was driven crazy by the famine these days. The refugees almost rushed to the yamen to make trouble. During this period, he reported to the emperor Yan Chengyu many times, but Yan Chengyu ignored the matter.
Put off again and again.
Today, Cheng Feinan felt miserable because he still had to blame himself.
"Oh?? Where is the household department? Come out quickly and give me an explanation!!"
Yan Chengyu raised his eyebrows, and the officials turned their attention to the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Minister of Household Affairs also walked out with a sad face.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. Have you forgotten? You said that you want to build a celebration platform in the city... to celebrate the third prince's successful admission into the Chaotian Sword Sect. If you don't have enough money... if you don't have enough money, it will be deducted from the food money. There is really no excess.
The financial resources are used to rectify the famine!"
When the Minister of the Ministry of Finance said this, Yan Chengyu remembered that Yan Luohong successfully joined the Chaotian Sword Sect a few days ago. When he was happy, he ordered to build a celebration platform for his son and prepared to entertain heroes from all over the world.
There was a banquet for three days and three nights.
“According to what you say, it’s my fault??”
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!!"
The Minister of Hube quickly knelt down and kowtowed, fearing that the emperor would really blame him.
"Um……"
Yan Chengyu pondered for a while, and then whispered something to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch immediately walked out of the palace, and after a while, Yan Luohong was brought here.
"Father, why are you in such a hurry to find me? I am currently practicing the Chaotian Sect's swordsmanship, and time is tight!"
Yan Luohong walked into the palace in a swagger. In the past, he would bow slightly and salute when he saw Yan Chengyu. But after becoming a disciple of the Chaotian Sword Sect, he never saluted again, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Yan Chengyu's words.
Be casual.
The ministers frowned after hearing this. In the Wind and Fire Kingdom, Yan Luohong was probably the only one who dared to talk to Yan Chengyu like this.
However, Yan Chengyu did not have any dissatisfaction, and became even more satisfied when he saw his little son.
"Luo Hong, I have something to discuss with you. The celebration platform..."
"Has the celebration platform been built??" Yan Luohong was overjoyed when he heard this. When he first entered the Chaotian Sword Sect, his fellow disciples learned about his identity as the prince of the Wind and Fire Kingdom. And he relied on this identity to join the Chaotian Sword Sect.
The faction became so prosperous that he even boasted that his father had built a celebration platform with a radius of dozens of miles just for him in Haikou.
In an instant, Yan Luohong also became a famous figure in the Chaotian Sword Sect. Not only was he extremely talented, but he also had such a wealthy father behind him. Countless seniors and juniors wanted to get into his room every night, but Yan Luohong
Hong felt that his life had finally reached its peak.
"Uh, no. The famine in Jiangnan has been too serious recently. So my father wants to stop the construction of the celebration platform for a while. But my father assures you that once the famine in Jiangnan is cured, we will start construction again immediately! Can that be done?
?”
Yan Chengyu rubbed his hands, as if he was discussing with Yan Luohong, and there was no trace of the majesty of an emperor.
After Yan Luohong heard this, his face immediately darkened.
My brothers and sisters are all waiting for the completion of my celebration platform, so they can have a good night for a few days. Even the date has been agreed upon with them, how can it be changed just by saying it?
So Yan Luohong shook his head repeatedly: "I don't agree! My father has clearly promised to my son, how can I just go back on my word?? Besides, my son has already promised to bring his brothers and sisters over to play next month. By then,
If the celebration platform hadn’t been built yet, wouldn’t I have become a person who broke his promise?!”
"this……"
Yan Chengyu was in a dilemma. Yan Luohong had just joined the Chaotian Sword Sect, and if he broke the appointment right away, it would indeed have a bad impact on his future.
"Your Highness, Third Highness! Please listen to what I have to say!!"
At this moment, Da Si Nong Cheng Feinan stood up, his old face was red from holding back, and he was obviously unhappy because he was not vomiting.
"Your Highness! Now the famine in the south of the Yangtze River has reached a critical stage. People in at least 20 of the more than 30 cities in the south of the Yangtze River cannot have enough to eat! Among them, Zhongyong City and Huaihua City have almost become empty cities. The people there
They were starving to death, freezing to death, and there were already corpses in the city.
All over the country, the surviving people there are rushing to the cities in the north. If this continues, the thirty-seven cities in the south of the Yangtze River may soon fall one by one, and even threaten the hinterland of our city!! Your Highness, please think twice.
!This is tens of thousands of lives!! Your Highness the Third!!"
Cheng Feinan burst into tears as he spoke. As a big farmer in Jiangnan, he dragged his old body and personally went to Zhongyong City and saw a scene that was simply like hell on earth.
It's hard to imagine what a country without war or gunfire would look like. Cheng Feinan felt very sad, but there was nothing he could do.
"Famine??Human life??What does that have to do with me? I don't care anyway. Father, if you stop the work on the celebration platform, then I will quit the Chaotian Sword Sect. Anyway, I won't have the dignity to stay there anymore.
"
Yan Luohong said angrily, and Yan Chengyu could only stare with big eyes, not knowing what to do.
"This...hey!!"
Cheng Feinan flicked his sleeves and knelt down to Yan Chengyu again.
"Your Majesty, the Third Highness is still young and ignorant. You must not be confused! If this continues, it will no longer be a famine in the south of the Yangtze River. It will even bring down the cities in the central and northern parts! It will even affect the entire Fenghuo, Your Majesty.
!!”
"You old man, if you continue to confuse people with your lies here, believe it or not, I will destroy you!!"
After listening to Cheng Feinan's words, Yan Luohong grabbed Cheng Feinan's collar and lifted him up directly.
"Ahem...cough. If I am useless, I will be useless, but the people of our Wind and Fire Country cannot be abolished, and the thousands of years of foundation cannot be abolished!!"
Cheng Feinan blushed and struggled to make his voice heard.
"Luo Hong! Put Cheng Aiqing down first! He is also thinking about our Wind and Fire Nation!"
Yan Chengyu seemed to be touched by Cheng Feinan's words and quickly waved his hand to Yan Luohong, who then reluctantly let Cheng Feinan go.
"So be it."
Yan Chengyu pondered for a while and seemed to have made a decision.
"First remove a thousand men from the army in Pancheng and hurry up to build the celebration platform. The famine in Jiangnan will be postponed for another month! Within a month, the celebration platform must be built for me. Li Sifu, this
I leave it to you to do it!"
A general named Li Sifu stepped forward and slightly cupped his hands: "Yes!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!!"
Cheng Feinan opened his eyes in horror, and the beard on his chin couldn't stop trembling.
"Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty! Jiangnan can't afford to delay it for one month!"
Cheng Feinan kowtowed to Yan Chengyu and didn't care even though his head was covered with blood. All the officials were moved by this.
"Old man! My father has already made up his mind, so how can you interrupt me? Hurry up and shut the door! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Facing Yan Luohong's threat, Cheng Feinan turned a deaf ear and continued to kowtow on the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of Cheng Feinan's kowtow echoed clearly in the hall, but no one stood up to speak for him. Because no one dared to offend the third prince. Even the most powerful minister in the court did not have the courage.
"Cheng Aiqing, I have made my decision, so there is no need for you to kowtow."
Yan Chengyu tried to persuade him softly, but Cheng Feinan still didn't stop, as if he wanted to knock his penis out before he gave up.
"Hey, quit the court."
Seeing Cheng Feinan's stubborn look, Yan Chengyu felt unhappy, but it was hard to get angry with him. How could he not know the stakes of the matter? But these things were nothing compared with his son's future and face.
"Your Majesty! Please think twice, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"
Cheng Feinan screamed in agony. He was not hurting himself, but his heart ached for the thousands of people who had died.
Just to build a meaningless celebration platform. Just for the face and enjoyment of the royal family, you can disregard the life and death of thousands of people. It is really a great sorrow and misfortune for the country!
Looking at the finalized facts, Yan Luohong showed a proud look on his face.
What Jiangnan people? Can that be compared to the future of Yan Luohong? They are all despicable lives, so what’s the harm if they die!
When I, Yan Luohong, achieve perfection in the Chaotian Sword Sect and become the leader, who else in the Wind and Fire Kingdom will dare to provoke me? Which country can compare?
Cheng Feinan, this old stubborn man, is still too superficial.
Yan Luohong thought to himself and walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.
