One hundred and seventieth chapters, wind and thunder cited (5)
As Li Ruoxi's performance was over, there was a lot of applause on and off the court.
The second draw was the Korean woman, Kim Young-hee, known as Princess Hundred Flowers. Unexpectedly, Kim Young-hee said as soon as she came on the court: "Miss Li Ruoxi has solved all this problem. I don't have the ability to surpass her. I have already lost this game."
After saying that, Kim Young-ji turned around and walked off the stage.
Amid everyone's surprised eyes, the Dongwu woman Kamema Mai, who then came on stage, also said that she could not pass Li Ruoxi and announced that she would give up the competition.
Roland, who was finally on stage, just smiled slightly, walked off the stage, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this point, the selection of the goddess of the Flower Festival in the Imperial Capital finally had the final result.
At this moment, on the side of the stage, the Eastern Japanese mission of the Empire State, Uesugi Tatsuya, had already turned pale. Although he had already seen that the contestants of his country were not the opponent of Li Ruoxi, the Empire, this time the Imperial question and Li Ruoxi's problem were equal to pointing directly to them - the Empire would not surrender.
This is the best counterattack against the joint difficulties of the four vassal states!
"Is it an empire... or defeating us like this, but this is just the beginning." Uesugi Tatsuya also looked at the representatives of several vassal states with surprise and panic, and sighed secretly in his heart.
~~~~~~~~
On May 7, 999, the imperial capital was in power.
For the people of Jiangshancheng on this day, the weather is clear, the spring breeze is blowing, and the Empire Flower Festival is prosperous. Even if there is war going on thousands of miles away, it is a rare opportunity to relax.
Just at noon, the selection of the latest Huachao Goddess of the Imperial Capital Flower Festival finally had the final result. In the special issue of the imperial capital "Jiangshan Public Opinion", Li Ruoxi's name and wonderful description of her performance became a topic that the people of the imperial capital talked about this day.
Whether it is the song that shocked everyone, the intoxicating Feng Lei, or the sound that made the people present strong and fierce, "Who is the hero in the world? What to ask for? Have a son like a British marquis". Everything makes this girl who is only 28 years old but has a superb charming celebrity in the imperial capital.
Of course, by Li Ruoxi's mouth, Lei Dongfeng's poem "Nanxiangzi. Nostalgia" was quickly copied and widely circulated. Giving a son like a British marquis became a well-known saying in the empire.
Soon, Li Ruoxi's identity was also discovered by the omnipotent chariot. The young chief of staff of the Imperial Crazy Lantern Legion took away many Western Knights' lives with a clever trick.
All of this undoubtedly casts a mysterious aperture for Li Ruoxi.
However, these seemed to be nothing to the protagonists of the incident. At this moment, the few people were sitting upright in the British Marquis’ mansion, drinking and talking.
"If you don't go back, you are good at talking and say, "If you have a child, be like a British Marquis." This time, the British Marquis drank several more cups. Why didn't you think about praising me?" Old Taoist Lin Qingping said sourly.
"Everyone admires Brother Dao's style, there is no need for me to say much. The so-called silence is better than sound, which lies in this." Lei Dongfeng said.
"A good sentence is more silent than sound. There are always amazing witty words in Wugui. Qingping, you don't have to be sad. Wugui is not me, but my ancestor son Long Gong. I am also moved by the heroes of my ancestors, so I drank these more cups." Zhao Huicheng smiled, and he showed that he was in a very good mood.
"It's not to mention that it's a man. At that time, Taizu had countless good ministers and powerful generals. Zilong Gong was the best among them. It's a good idea to praise him if he doesn't praise him. However, Feilan, you have such a student. I'm so jealous." Zhang Feng smiled with a glass of wine.
"Duke Yan praised it, but it was just a lucky boy." Lei Dongfeng hurriedly said modestly.
"You still call me Duke Yan? You guy is like a girl Ying. Call me grandpa, how about you?" Zhang Feng pretended to be angry.
"Well, I'll call you grandpa in private." Lei Dongfeng said respectfully.
Zhang Feng is already 67 years old this year, but it is enough to be Lei Dongfeng's grandfather. In addition, he is generous and unpretentious, Lei Dongfeng calls him grandfather but has no psychological burden.
"Well, okay, don't go back, there is nothing else to give to the elders, so I'll give this to you as a meeting gift." Zhang Feng waved his hand and handed a piece of armor behind him.
"Grandpa, isn't this your treasure armor? You didn't give it to him after asking it for a long time, why did you give it to him..." Zhang Lin said in surprise.
"What do you know? Although your father is good, he is not as brave as Lei Boss. He often leads the team to fight in person, but this armor is just right for him. Lei Boss, this armor is forged by a famous craftsman in the empire according to the secret recipe left by Taizu. It is made of a substance called brushed fiber, mixed with gold wire. It is not my praising mouth. The crossbow arrows within thirty steps can be resisted, and it is difficult to break with a heavy knife. Moreover, this armor weighs only three kilograms. I heard that you like to lead the team to fight in. This armor is for you to use, and it just protects you." Zhang Feng smiled.
"In this way, Dongfeng is disrespectful." Lei Dongfeng was not polite and immediately accepted the wire drawing fibers, which were clearly a product of modern technology. If not, it was a point left by Taizu, and it must be extremely precious.
In this era of cold weapons, in addition to good weapons and war horses, the most important thing is armor.
Especially for generals like Lei Dongfeng who are good at their own qualities, although the heavy armor is generally well protected, it will seriously reduce the degree when worn on the body.
The imperial unified bamboo armor is casually used, and its defense is also good, but the direct defense of crossbows and arrows and swords and guns does not require heavy armor.
If the armor given by Zhang Feng is as he said, it is equivalent to a modern bulletproof vest. Even if it is slightly inferior, it is already a treasure. What's more, Lei Dongfeng doesn't want this armor for himself.
After Lei Dongfeng took the armor, he walked directly to Jiang Zhuying and said in a deep voice: "Zhuying, you like to rush forward like me, and you are my favorite person. So I will give this armor to you!"
"Brother..." Jiang Zhuying's eyes were not wide open, and a slight redness appeared in a moment.
"Haha, what do you two children say privately? I don't object to anyone using this armor." Zhang Feng saw this scene, stroked his gray beard and smiled.
"Boy Lei is just good at doing favors. I have helped you so much but I haven't seen you give me anything. But then again, Boy Lei, your love gift is heavy enough." Old Dao Lin muttered.
"Brother Dao, it seems that you haven't given Xiao Dao any gift yet." Jiang Zhuying suddenly blinked his eyes and asked, looking like a cute little daughter.
"Uh. Is there any? The gift will be given sooner or later, not at this moment." Old Dao Lin looked at Xiao Ziyin with guilty face.

After the banquet, everyone bid farewell to the British Marquis' Mansion. The imperial capital in the night was more charming than in the daytime. As the largest city on the Great Highway 6, a city with a permanent population of over 3 million is not much inferior to that of later generations. The lights, like stars in the sky, and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers delivered by the spring breeze, added a little peace to Lei Dongfeng's heart.
And along the way, Jiang Zhuying's affectionate eyes never left Lei Dongfeng's body.
"Mr. Lei, there is a man who claims to be Xue Yulin who wants to see you." As soon as he returned to Linfeng Pavilion Inn, the inn owner who was somewhat blessed came up to him.
Today, Lei Dongfeng and others captured the goddess of Flower Festival, and new words have been heard. The owner of Linfeng Pavilion Inn has long read from the special issue of Jiangshan Public Opinion. At this moment, he was also excited and felt that it was a great honor to be able to receive Lei Dongfeng and others to live here.
The people who kept coming to see him made the boss feel a different kind of excitement. Although he was a little tired, he was tired and happy. He also consciously became a door god who stopped all kinds of monsters and monsters from disturbing Lei Dongfeng and others.
However, the young man who just arrived was very imposing, and said that he was Lei Dongfeng's subordinate, the boss kept him waiting in the backyard.
"Xue Yulin? Why did this kid come here? Where is he?" Lei Dongfeng said in surprise, but his face was filled with joy that could not be concealed.
"It's right in the backyard, I'll invite him to your guest room?" said the inn owner carefully.
"No, I'll go see him now, Zhuying, Brother Dao, Mu Tong, our friend is here." Lei Dongfeng laughed and walked straight to the backyard of the inn.
"Yu Lin, it's you?" Under the willow tree in the backyard, a tall and thin man with a pretty appearance, a short look, and a strong young man stood tall and tall.
"I've seen the Lei Legion!" Xue Yulin turned around and saw Lei Dongfeng. He hurriedly gave a military salute.
"You boy, have I sent you to send prisoners from the Western Alliance to Annan? Why did you come to the Imperial Capital? Is there something unexpected?" Lei Dongfeng gently hammered Xue Yulin's shoulder.
Xue Yulin, Jiang Zhuying and others nodded and smiled, and slowly spoke: "I escorted tens of thousands of Western coalition prisoners back to Annan successfully, and asked them to be mercenaries as planned and let them return to China after three years. At the same time, they accepted the buyers from these people and offered us 100,000 gold coins and 200,000 dan of rice to our Kuanglan Army. I originally wanted to escort these supplies back to Tongguan with the soldiers, but I accidentally heard that Hong Yu, the chief of Annan, was going to send the mission to the imperial capital to plan, so I made a decision without authorization to let Guangxiu and the others lead the team back to Tongguan first, but I sneaked into the mission to find out their plans and hope that the Lei Army would forgive me."
"It's okay, you're right, and you'll be unbearable for foreign troops. Besides, when you lead the team to leave, I also say that you're doing everything cheaply. Now, the empire's major vassal states come together this time, but the inside story wants you to explain it to me." Lei Dongfeng grabbed Xue Yulin's shoulders, and Xue Yulin nodded.
"General Yulin has not been seen this time, right?" Li Ruoxi said lightly.
"No, today the selection of the goddess of the Flower Dynasty failed, but Uesugi of Dongwu complained that the other commanders did not support him. The few people almost started arguing, and no one cared about us. Lei Dongfeng asked.
