Chapter 754: It’s so satisfying just looking at it!
Jiang Lianzhu sighed, "Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but those brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven!"
Liao Jiu said to Xiang Zuo, "Parade Liao Honghai, Yao Shi, and the others through the streets, and announce their crimes to serve as a warning to others. In the future, if anyone dares to spread rumors and stir up trouble during this national crisis, they will suffer the same fate as them, even the royal family members will not be spared!"
"yes."
The other jury members were all secretly astonished at Liao Jiu. What a fellow! In the face of such a grave issue, he truly didn't care about his own family!
After dealing with Liao Honghai, Yao and others, everyone in the capital knew about the ruthlessness of the Left Regent Liao Jiu.
Mrs. Zhou moved to the Princess's Mansion.
Duke Zhou also wanted to take her back to live in the Zhou Mansion, but Madam Zhou was willing to go to the Princess' Mansion and live with her son and daughter-in-law. After all, since she would rely on her son for her old age, living with her son and daughter-in-law would be more legitimate.
Mrs. Zhou is a capable mistress. Without Liao Honghai as a thorn in her heart, she is able to manage affairs more efficiently.
Jiang Lianzhu had never lived in the Princess's Mansion for a single day. There was no owner at home, but now that Madam Zhou had moved in, there was someone to take care of the house.
Jiang Lianzhu gave up the best and largest courtyard in the princess's mansion to Madam Zhou to live in.
Mrs. Zhou was not someone to be trifled with. She took all her belongings and people out of the Marquis of Qingning's Mansion, leaving Liao Honghai with an empty house.
Liao Honghai is now in prison. When he comes out in three years, his house will be in ruins with no one taking care of it.
After a few days, the statues of Chengfeng and Jifeng were completed.
Erected on the city wall of the capital.
Citizens from all over the capital came to watch.
"Wow! Who made this statue? It's quite similar, not only in appearance but also in demeanor. If it were placed on the city wall and left untouched, people from afar would really think it was a giant golden eagle squatting there."
"Hahaha, you probably don't know this. These are golden statues of two heroes, hastily crafted by the most famous craftsman's workshop in the capital. It's said that they took a lot of time and effort. I go to the palace every day to observe the two giant golden eagles, Chengfeng and Jifeng, from up close and far..."
Just as everyone was discussing the matter, the two golden eagle statues on the city wall just stood up, spreading their wings and flying towards the sky, their spirited appearance was so vivid and lifelike.
Suddenly, two long and melodious whistles were heard from the sky.
Two real golden eagles, Chengfeng and Jifeng, flew over to watch the fun.
The people were even more shocked.
"Hahaha, the golden eagles are here! Aren't they also looking at their statues?"
"Don't you know? These two divine eagles are very human-like. When they were carving, they scratched away any parts that didn't look like the original or that they were not satisfied with. In the end, they were able to carve out these two most lifelike ones that remain."
"So that's what's going on! I was wondering. I've heard for a long time that Princess Fu'an wanted to carve a statue for the Golden Eagle. It's been ages, and it still hasn't been completed. The craftsmen expedited the process, so it usually only takes two or three days, but now we've been waiting for over a month!"
"Two real golden eagles are so cool and majestic! They are truly worthy of being the king of flying birds of prey."
Amidst the noisy crowd, someone came with drums and gongs.
It was a team of royal guards coming out of the palace.
The leader was a eunuch.
He was holding a gold-lacquered tray with a scroll of imperial edict on it.
The crowd made way and dared not say anything.
The eunuch walked up to the city wall with the imperial edict, his steps brisk and his expression cheerful.
As soon as the imperial edict was opened, everyone knelt on the ground to listen to it, whether they were generals or civilians.
"...By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor summons... Today, the two golden eagles of Da'an, Chengfeng and Jifeng, have rendered invaluable service in repelling the coalition forces of the Five Nations. They are hereby granted the titles of Divine and Brave Sky Lords and Holy and Brave Sky Lords..."
As soon as the imperial edict was read, everyone cheered.
The two golden eagles in the sky seemed to understand the general meaning and let out two long and melodious whistles!
Expressed their happiness.
The people below couldn't help but cheer for the two of them.
"Brave Sky Lord!!"
"Holy Brave Sky Lord!!!"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was still waving at the sky.
Signal Chengfeng Jifeng and the others to go down.
When they were sure there was no danger, they blinked their eyes and leaned forward to fly down.
He came to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
The father-in-law took out two golden medals from a box on the gold-lacquered tray.
The size of an adult's palm, made of pure gold, one medal is engraved with the words "Divine Brave Sky Lord", and the other medal is engraved with the words "Holy Brave Sky Lord".
The father-in-law stood on tiptoe and put the medal of the Brave Sky Lord on Chengfeng's neck.
He also put the medal of the Holy Brave Sky Lord on Jifeng's neck.
"Congratulations to the two Sky Lords! Congratulations to the two Sky Lords!!"
Chengfeng and Jifeng wore large medals of pure gold. They were afraid that the common people would not see their medals, so they proudly paced around the city wall before spreading their wings and flying into the sky.
The applause from below was thunderous!
The crowd was excited.
Sky Lord, just hearing the title makes me feel domineering! Incredibly majestic! Awesome!
They deserve the name.
It is a blessing for Da'an Country to have them.
Full of confidence.
Full of pride.
***
Because Jiang Lianzhu was worried about the whereabouts of the King of War, she went to Tianya Academy with Liao Jiu. Dean Tan Tao had not returned from his study tour.
Even the old teacher in the academy didn't know his whereabouts.
So, every night, as soon as the moon came out, Jiang Lianzhu would connect her mind to the moon and look for people through the moonlight.
She is now at the level of a great wizard. When she connected to the moon, she could see the scenery of the entire capital.
Now it can cover most of Da'an Kingdom.
Because Da'an Kingdom is not round, with the capital where she is now as the central axis, the farthest she can see is the fiefdom of Shangrao City.
Why is it said to be the farthest? Because this also depends on the brightness of the moonlight.
If the moon is round and bright on the 15th or 16th, she can see farther.
If the moon is not round and bright, or is covered with fog, you will not be able to see that far.
That day, which happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the moon was big and round, and Jiang Lianzhu could see Shangrao City.
She just wanted to see how Zhou Yuan was doing there, and how Erlangjun was recovering and whether he looked good.
Jiang Lianzhu sat cross-legged on the roof.
Liao Jiu meditated beside him.
"Liao Jiu, I saw Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan is still working with his staff so late at night. Not bad, not bad, very hardworking."
Jiang Lianzhu said this with her eyes closed. She used ideology to connect to the moon, and she only needed to use consciousness to sense it.
She didn't notice Liao Jiu beside her, whose nose was bleeding.
Liao Jiu quietly wiped the blood from his nose and said in a normal voice, "That's good."
Then, Jiang Lianzhu continued, "Erlangjun has recovered quite well. He's already rested at this point. Hey, I saw Silangjun! My goodness, my fourth brother could actually sense that I was looking at him? He glanced at the moon. Can a warrior of the seventh realm be so strong..."
Liao Jiu chuckled and said, "I can't do it. It's because your fourth brother is so powerful. Has he returned to Shangrao City?"
Jiang Lianzhu saw Silangjun and his entourage, with two of his men behind them carrying a sack with unknown contents in it. They hurriedly walked towards a quiet residence outside the city where Erlangjun lived.
Someone informed Erlangjun, who woke up with a start, put on his clothes and went out.
Go to the yard to greet Silangjun.
No one knew what the two of them said to each other. Jiang Lianzhu could only see the images but could not hear the sounds.
Then, Silang-jun had the sack opened! !
When Jiang Lianzhu saw it, she was stunned!
It’s Gu Rang!
Silangjun went somewhere and captured Gu Rang, handing him over to Erlangjun, who then avenged him personally...
This is really amazing.
It’s so satisfying to watch!!
