Chapter 110: Northern Frontier Giants
Chapter 110: Northern Frontier Giants
It was getting dark, at the same time in the northern border.
Outside the Li Kingdom Palace, the entire country was ablaze with flames rising to the sky, and the sounds of shouting, killing and wailing were everywhere, as if it was the end of the world.
However, at this moment, Liu Yuntian was sitting peacefully in the palace of Li Kingdom, with his eyes closed, leaning on the dragon throne, and he was not concerned about the noise of the outside world.
He was playing with the gray egg in his hand. It was his habit. Whenever he was thinking, he would always play with something in his hand.
The general layout of the room did not change, but the tables and chairs that Liu Yuntian used to use were simply replaced to indicate the arrival of the new owner.
Qi Xing stood to one side, holding the record book respectfully, and reported the current situation to Liu Yuntian: "Mr. Liu, the disabled soldiers of the National Defense Army have been properly resettled and are receiving treatment nearby. At the same time, they have been awarded the second-level honor of merit, and their families have also received double the pension."
Then, Qi Xing continued: "For those soldiers who unfortunately died, we awarded them the honor of the first-class hero title, and the pensions for their families have been tripled and have been paid in full."
"In addition, we have arranged for the people of Liang to move here and settle down. They are on their way and are expected to arrive in ten days. Finally, Crown Prince Ye Ling is in good health after treatment and is no longer in danger, but he is still in a coma."
Hearing this, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hehehe..." The laughter echoed in the room.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qi Xing. There was a hint of teasing in his eyes as he said, "You are indeed the son of luck. Your health bar is just weird. When you recover, I'm afraid your realm will be even higher..."
Qi Xing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back and shook his head gently. Then he lowered his head and looked back at the book in his hand, and continued to read the next item: "A tribe of giants was discovered behind the country. The average height is four meters. Their lifestyle is mainly hunting. There are about a thousand people. They seem to be in a primitive state and have not yet been civilized. There are currently four tribal leaders who are brothers..."
After reading this, Liu Yuntian suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Qi Xing, looked at him suspiciously, frowned slightly, and asked: "Four meters tall? Giant tribe?"
He rubbed his chin and exclaimed, "What kind of species is this? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Qi Xing carefully looked at the book in his hand and was also very surprised. "I have never heard of such a race in the Northern Frontier. It says that they were captured by the Li Kingdom a few years ago. Because of their huge size advantage, most of them are now enslaved to build palaces and various buildings."
"The four leaders are imprisoned underground. Do you want to go and take a look, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Yuntian shook his head and refused, "Let them go and let them go back to their own territory."
"Release...release?"
Qi Xing asked in disbelief: "Mr. Liu, are you really going to let them go?" His tone was full of doubt and confusion.
Because according to Liu Yuntian's usual style of doing things, if he encounters unfamiliar creatures or groups, he will order them to be killed without hesitation to prevent future troubles.
However, now, the leaders of this group of tribes have been imprisoned, like fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist, but Liu Yuntian decided to release them so easily, which made Qi Xing very confused.
Liu Yuntian nodded slightly, then slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied calmly: "Just some savages."
Then, he added: "Giant tribe... is extremely rare in the entire Qiyang Continent. It would be a pity if they were wiped out like this."
Qi Xing nodded as if he understood, not quite. Although he still had doubts about Liu Yuntian's decision, since Liu Yuntian had made the decision, he would not ask too many questions and chose to trust his judgment.
So Qi Xing picked up the book in his hand again and prepared to read the next message.
At this moment, Liu Yuntian suddenly waved his hand, interrupted Qi Xing's action, and said: "Okay, there is no need to report these trivial matters to me, just leave them to the people below to handle." There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice.
Qi Xing immediately stopped what he was doing and replied respectfully, "Yes!"
Then he slowly closed the book in his hand, bowed to Liu Yuntian, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly seemed to remember something, he stopped and stood back where he was.
He asked cautiously, "Mr. Liu... many officials from Daliang have fled to Li State before... How should we deal with these people?"
Liu Yuntian's face was gloomy. Without any hesitation, he said coldly, "Tear them all to pieces."
Then he added, "At the same time, we will set up a Jiaofang Division and send all their wives, daughters and family members there for training. As for the male family members... they will be exiled to the frozen land of Lingdong to perform corvée labor."
After hearing what Liu Yuntian said, Qi Xing did not show any surprise or surprise. He just hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Mr. Liu, there are too many vacancies for officials in Daliang now. If we kill all these people, will it be..."
Liu Yuntian sneered and shook his head, "It's better to have nothing than to have something unqualified! Officials are the pillars of Liang State, what's the point of keeping a bunch of idiots?"
After that, he took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued: "Arrange the imperial examination as soon as possible and train a new batch of officials. The future Daliang will become an immortal dynasty. Managing mortals is completely different from managing monks. This time we need to select some officials who have the concept of governing an immortal dynasty."
"promise."
Qi Xing bowed respectfully and then slowly left the room. Liu Yuntian sat back on the dragon chair, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he was in deep thought.
After a while, he sighed softly and murmured to himself: "Too bright... too bright..."
Then, he raised his voice and shouted, "Qi Xing! Turn off the lights. I can't calm down and think about the problem!"
When Qi Xing heard the order, he immediately walked quickly into the house, extinguished several rows of candles on the wall, and then quickly retreated.
As time passed, Liu Yuntian became increasingly irritated.
He frowned and said impatiently: "It's still too bright, put out a few more lights!"
However, this time, Qi Xing did not respond immediately and enter the room as he did before.
Liu Yuntian became suspicious, slowly opened his eyes, and tentatively called out: "Qi Xing?"
There was silence in the room, and no one answered him. At this moment, there was a slight sound, and then the candlelight in the room went out instantly, and the room fell into darkness.
Liu Yuntian was slightly stunned. Qi Xing did not enter the room. Who turned off the light?
He stared at the door. Through the thin window paper, he could clearly see two blurry figures projected by the moonlight.
One of them was undoubtedly Qi Xing, and at this moment he was respectfully saluting the other figure.
Liu Yuntian sensed it slightly and closed his eyes again, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
With a slight "creak" sound, Qi Xing slowly pushed the door open from the outside, his face full of respect. He carefully welcomed the person outside into the room, then gently closed the door from the outside.
Liu Yuntian still sat there quietly, his eyes closed, motionless, and just asked calmly: "Why are you here?"
