The Beacon of Kyushu

Early morning, Jinpeng Villa.

Duan Siming got up very early today, sitting in the pavilion, holding a gorgeous golden bowl in his hand, humming a folk song from Dali softly, "The moon is full and round when it comes out, and the stars are hanging around the moon. Red flowers are hanging on the golden hooks." Go ahead, my heart is always with my sister..."

The golden bowl was filled with a bowl full of crystal clear and round rice. Every time he sang a line, he picked up a small handful of rice and sprinkled it on the ground with a smile. The rice on the ground soon attracted all the nearby birds, and they all rushed to the front of the court to grab the rice. Some birds grabbed too much, and some nearby birds formed a group to fight with it. For a while, the birds were fighting for each other, chirping, and it was very lively.

Duan Siming saw that among the birds in front of him were tree sparrows, white wagtails, hoopoes, embroidered eagles, and even an extremely bright green peacock and a very tall red-necked crane, he felt in his heart I couldn't help but be very happy.

He grabbed another handful of rice, and just as he was about to sprinkle it out, he suddenly heard a harsh "dumb" sound coming from the sky. Duan Siming frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a huge, jet-black crow flying towards him, and his joy was suddenly wiped away.

"Damn crow, why are you here at my king's Jinpeng Villa! If you don't leave, be careful that I will strike you with the Lingxu Divine Sword and send you to the west!" He said as he secretly channeled his internal power with his fingertips and raised his hand as if to shoot him to death. This crow is here to cause trouble.

But just when his inner strength was about to be unleashed, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of the gate. It sounded like someone was trying to break into the palace. Duan Siming couldn't care less about the damn crow in front of him. He slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

Soon, he walked to the door and saw the servants in the house holding brooms and wooden sticks to drive away a ragged young man. The young man held the door frame with both hands and refused to leave, even shouting, "Duan, it's okay if you don't send someone to take me in in a sedan chair, but you actually let people beat me. Why do you make so many friends? I curse you for giving birth to a child without an asshole and marrying a filthy princess!"

Duan Siming took a closer look at the young man, and then he recognized that he was actually Wan Jianfeng. He laughed quickly and said, "Hahaha, I was feeding birds in the pavilion when a crow flew by. I didn't know the reason just now. It turns out that this is an ominous sign." It should be on Brother Wan!”

Wan Jianfeng spat and said: "Bah, the young hero is so handsome and handsome, why should he be a crane? You are a crow, and your whole family is a crow!"

Duan Siming pointed at Wan Jianfeng and said: "Brother Wan, you'd better be careful when you say such things in Dali, otherwise my emperor cousin will hear this and you will be sentenced to death!" He looked at him after saying this. He walked around Wan Jianfeng and kept looking behind him.

Wan Jianfeng looked back and saw that there was nothing behind him, and said in confusion: "Hey, Duan, something is wrong with your eyes? I am here, what are you looking at behind me?"

Duan Siming sighed and said, "My Yaoyao didn't come with you?"

Wan Jianfeng rolled his eyes at Duan Siming, "Your Yaoyao? She is obviously from my family! Although I am handsome and the little witch is willful and unruly, she is still right no matter how you look at it, isn't she? "

Duan Siming was not angry and said: "She is so charming to the country and comes from a famous family. I don't think she is worthy of her. Just because of Brother Wan's rags and the stinky clothes on his waist that can't even be knocked out." Copper plate, you have the nerve to say that you are against my Yaoyao Deng?”

Wan Jianfeng became a little impatient and decisively changed the subject, "Duan, I have an important responsibility to come here this time. When I have some free time later, I will have a good argument with you!" Duan Siming said with a smile: " Haha, what’s the important thing? I don’t know if Brother Wan is talking about the important thing, does he want me to borrow money, or does he want me to pay for your toilet?”

Wan Jianfeng shook his head, "No, I want you to take me to see Emperor Dali. Otherwise, you, a little prince, won't be able to decide on such a big matter."

Duan Siming was startled, looking at Wan Jianfeng in disbelief, and said: "What is it that my king can't decide! Could it be... Could it be that you want my cousin to abdicate and become the emperor yourself? Or you want to mobilize my Dali army to do something Shameful deeds?”

Wan Jianfeng said: "I do want to mobilize the Dali army, but it is not for some shady deeds. On the contrary, I am very upright and upright!"

Duan Siming stared at Wan Jianfeng for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha, Brother Wan, we haven't seen each other for several months, you are more joking than when you were in Qu Yue! Okay, stop making trouble, and come to the meeting with me. Let’s have some breakfast together.”

Wan Jianfeng frowned slightly and said: "Who is making trouble with you? I am telling the truth! If the garrison stationed on the border between Song Dynasty and Dali is not mobilized within five days, I am afraid that Not only will the two countries be destroyed, but you, Prince Duan, will also kill Qu Yue."

Duan Siming pointed to his nose and said: "You said that I will kill Qu Yue! How is this possible? Please tell me clearly!"

Wan Jianfeng said: "Brother Duan, you are so ill-informed! You don't really know that the leader of the Central Army, Hou Renbao, died in battle and that the general judge Kou Zhun was captured, right?"

Duan Siming thought for a while and then said: "I vaguely heard Brother Gao say something two days ago, but what does this have to do with Dali? Could it be that after Li Huan wiped out the three armies of the Song Dynasty, he still dared to lead his army to invade our Dali?" "

Wan Jianfeng nodded and said: "Duan, you don't even think about how close Dali is to their Qu Yue, and how disparate their strength is. Once Qu Yue really defeats the three armies of the Song Dynasty, , How can he let go of Dali? Moreover, he can only deal with the revenge army sent by the Song Dynasty if he takes Dali quickly, otherwise he can only watch Qu Yue perish. "

Duan Siming said dubiously: "But even if he really comes to invade Dali, what does he have to do with me? Can he go out of his way to antagonize me?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "Haha, Duan, you are really not smart! You won't forget who brought a mad dog with the intention of murdering Li Huan a few months ago, right?"

Duan Siming took a breath and said in a panic: "Oh, no, no, no! People often say that Li Huan will be punished for his grievances. I'm afraid that after he defeats the Song Dynasty, he will really bring bad luck to me!"

Seeing that he was panicking, Wan Jianfeng hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "My surname is Duan, I have been in Quyue for so long, and I found that the place is poor and rough, with nothing but one thing. What do you think it is?" ( End of this chapter)
