Chapter 345 [Turning Over and Becoming the Master]
After Xiya came out of the king's residence, he had no idea that there was a little tail following him.
When the two reconnaissance experts Wen Qiao and Sheng Zhixing saw Xiya coming out of the king's felt room, they decided to split their forces into two groups.
Sheng Zhixing followed Xiya, and Wen Qiao waited at the king's side to see what the king would do next and whether there was a chance to take out the surveillance installed in the king's room.
After the king sent Xiya away, he called the prime minister over and said, "I'm afraid our attempt to frame the Moon Tribe will be discovered. I've asked Xiya to move the horse closer to the coast."
"As soon as those desert aliens reach our new ferry crossing, we'll have them set up an ambush. The goddess and the divine messenger will likely bring their men to track down the horses and follow them. Then we'll catch them by surprise, leaving them no chance to mobilize their forces!"
"What a brilliant plan, Your Majesty!" the Prime Minister praised repeatedly. "I will go and meet those desert aliens and lead the way for them."

At dawn.
Many herdsmen at Haibei Ranch were woken up by the cold in the morning. They opened the curtains and saw a vast expanse of white outside, with heavy moisture and frost. Realizing that the temperature in the mountains had dropped sharply last night, they hurriedly uncovered their quilts, put on their coats, and walked towards the cattle and sheep sheds without even having time to put on their shoes.
Recently, a new batch of lambs and calves were born at Haibei Ranch, and the newborn animals need special care.
Temperature changes in the mountains are easily affected by various factors and are unpredictable.
The temperature in the mountains dropped sharply last night, and they were really afraid that the lambs would freeze to death. They originally wanted to take turns guarding them day and night, but the goddess and the messenger insisted that they go to rest, saying that they had to set off early the next morning.
But when they woke up this morning, they felt a chill in their hearts when they felt the damp and cold air.
They hurried to the cowshed and sheepfold, but found that each shed was covered with a layer of white, somewhat transparent cloth.
Xi Chengyun came to the front of the cowshed he was responsible for to check. When he found this layer of thin white cloth, he was wondering whether the cloth was too thin to block the wind and cold.
However, when he lifted the "cloth" and entered the cowshed, he was surprised to find that it was even warmer inside the cowshed than outside, and the group of newly born calves were sleeping soundly.
He looked carefully and found that there was a stove in each of the four corners of the cowshed, and there was a fire burning in the stove, making it warm and bright.
And the black fuel burning inside is coal!
Coal, such a precious fuel, is now used to keep their cattle, sheep and horses warm!
Xi Chengyun was shocked.
Looking at the thin white cloth surrounding the cowshed, Xi Chengyun thought about it and realized that the main function of that "thin cloth" was not to keep out the cold, but to prevent the heat in the shed from escaping.
He looked again and saw a man sitting in the corner. He was dozing with his hands on his knees and his head buried in his arms, holding a palm-leaf fan that was burning with heat.
Xi Chengyun walked up to the man and nudged him: "Hey, wake up, are you also the goddess's man?"
The man's face was raised from his arms. Xi Chengyun was shocked when he saw his face clearly: "Are you... a prince of the royal family?"
The man's face was blackened by the charcoal fire. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, you're mistaken. I'm not a prince. I'm just an ordinary citizen of the Mi Kingdom. I'm responsible for lighting the fire to keep warm, ventilating the place regularly, and cleaning."
The man quickly denied it, but Xi Chengyun still remembered this face clearly.
Three months ago, the prince brought his beloved son to Haibei Ranch for a trip, and his beloved son attacked and injured Xi Chengyun's nephew.
Xi Chengyun was furious and wanted an explanation, but the prince used his power to force Xi Chengyun and his nephew to kneel down and apologize, saying that he had hurt his beloved son's hand.
In the end, Xi Chengyun was ridden like a horse by the prince's beloved son. He crawled for several miles on the grassland, and blisters appeared on his palms and knees.
It is not just one or two days that the royal family of Mi Kingdom has been relying on their privileges to bully and bully people in various pastoral areas. Such outrageous things have happened to many herders.
But in order to survive, in order to keep this job which looks like a golden rice bowl in the eyes of others outside the pastoral area, they have to swallow their anger.
Xi Chengyun looked at the numb prince huddled in the corner with a gloomy expression: "Did you light these stoves? Did you also put the thin cloth on the shed?"
"Not only me, but also other members of the royal family... and other of my companions worked overnight to create this."
The prince was very sleepy, but a sense of fear prompted him to answer Xi Chengyun seriously: "It was arranged by the goddess."
The prince looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, and he looked listless. When he mentioned the word "goddess", his expression was visibly filled with fear and awe.
At this time, a calf stood up and "produced" a pile of cow dung on the ground, and the cowshed suddenly became smelly.
The prince quickly stood up, then found a small shovel and a broom, and cleaned up the cow dung in no time. His movements were surprisingly skillful.
Finally, he checked the cowshed again, and after confirming that there were no other houses, he curled up in the corner and continued to sleep, like a puppet that was numb from working.
Xi Chengyun couldn't believe his eyes. The prince, who was originally a noble prince of the Mi Kingdom, was actually sleeping in his cowshed, making fire and shoveling manure for the cows he was responsible for!
Xi Chengyun looked at his palm, where there was a scar left by the prince's son crawling on his knees three months ago.
At this moment, he felt that the anger that had been stuck in his heart for three months was finally released!
Coming out of the stuffy cowshed and breathing the cool air outside, Xi Chengyun felt refreshed.
Then he noticed that the villagers coming out of the nearby cowshed and sheepfold had almost the same expression as him.
Xi Chengyun then understood that the satisfying experience he had just had happened in other cow sheds and sheep pens as well!
If it was a coincidence that the prince arranged it in the cowshed of his house, then looking at the identical refreshed expressions on the faces of the residents who came out one after another, it was obvious that this was specially arranged by the goddess!
Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, and the goddess is avenging them!
When Xi Chengyun, a tall and strong man, thought of this, he felt a warm and sour feeling in his heart, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
The once high and mighty royal family of the Mi Kingdom has fallen to this point. The huge stone that has been pressing on their heads and requiring them to kneel down to lift it up was suddenly shattered into powder this morning.
They finally breathed freedom in the air.
The herdsmen gathered together. Although they had many doubts in their hearts, tears welled up in their eyes under the strong emotional impact.
