"Why are you so agitated? It's not your dragon. Don't be so agitated. Go and inform Duan Lan's family," the old man said.
"Why inform her family again? Master, please think of something else. I don't want to see Sister Duan Lan die. "Xiao Li almost cried.
"Die? What do you mean die … Her soul is severely injured. If her family doesn't find her a spiritual medicine, she won't wake up for the rest of her life!" the old man said unhappily.
"Oh, she's not dead. Then how do we find a spiritual medicine to heal her soul?" Xiao Li calmed down.
"It'll take at least half a year. Her injuries are too severe. Luckily, the dragon isn't dead. If the dragon dies and the soul is injured again, even the gods can't save her."
Xiao Li hurriedly left. The spiritual medicine was not easy to find. It was better to get Duan Lan's family to prepare it as soon as possible. Otherwise, Duan Lan would be unconscious for who knows how long.
The old man washed his hands. His gaze was involuntarily attracted by the black crocodile spirit that was transforming into a dragon in the healing pool.
"You're the little black crocodile that likes to eat meat silkworms, right?" the old man said with narrowed eyes.
When there was nothing to do in the recuperation loft, the old man liked to stay in the Dragon Storage Palace. Staying with these lively little creatures made him feel very comfortable. He fed them, and at the same time, gave out young spirits to the students who were in dire straits.
The old man remembered all the young spirits in the Dragon Storage Palace, including those that had been released.
They were like a group of homeless pets. The old man hoped that each of them would find a good home, whether it was a dragon spirit or a mortal spirit.
"You've transformed into a dragon so quickly. Looks like you've met a good master."
"It's been a long time since a young spirit has truly transformed into a dragon in the Dragon Storage Palace. Write your record and my Dragon Storage Palace won't be closed by the dean."
…
…
Surrounded by pine trees, the palace was heavily guarded.
Li Ying was already sitting in the main hall, facing a stack of letters regarding Zulong City. For a moment, he didn't know where to start. Every matter seemed to be related to the lifeline of Zulong City.
"Take a rest first," Kong Tong said gently to Li Ying as she walked over with a cup of steaming hot tea.
"The east is still worrying." Li Ying sighed.
"The envoy from Firmament City will be here soon. After this negotiation, we can focus on dealing with those rioters in Barren Land. They won't be able to cause any trouble." Kong Tong walked behind Li Ying and rubbed his shoulders.
At this time, a guard quickly passed through the main hall. Kong Tong glared fiercely at this guard who did not know the rules.
However, the guard looked flustered and did not have time to greet the madam. He walked towards Li Ying and quickly whispered something into Li Ying's ear.
Li Ying's expression changed immediately. He almost stood up from his chair and slammed his hand on the table.
The young madam, Kong Tong, was shocked and hurriedly tried to comfort her.
"Summon the general of Flying Bird Battalion immediately!" Li Ying said angrily.
Not long after, the general of Flying Bird Camp arrived.
The general half-knelt in front of the main hall and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's the matter?"
"Someone from Dragon Tamer Academy has sent a message saying that Eastern Dawn Fortress has been breached and the rioters are marching straight into Li Chuan Plains?" Li Ying almost lost control of his emotions and said angrily.
"The army did not receive any battle report. Who said that?" The general of Flying Bird Battalion was surprised.
"The messenger is on his way here. He will tell us the details. This matter cannot be delayed. Send Flying Bird Battalion to Rong Gu City immediately and kill all the rioters. Do not let them enter Li Chuan Plains! "Li Ying said.
Eastern Dawn Fortress and Rong Gu City were a natural barrier that separated the Barren Land from the Barren Land. The Li Chuan Plains was vast and flat. If the rioters were to spread out and rob the cities in Li Chuan Plains, they would need to send a large number of troops to wipe them out.
Furthermore, the cities in Li Chuan Plains more or less had stored food and armaments. Once the rioters stole their weapons and armor, the rioters would become an army with great resistance!
"But Flying Bird Battalion …" The general hesitated.
"Go!" Li Ying said.
The general of Flying Bird Battalion accepted the order and quickly left the empty hall.
Hot tea was spilled on the table. Kong Tong used her handkerchief to wipe away the tea stains. She whispered to Li Ying, "If it's true, why didn't we receive any news?"
"The messenger was intercepted and killed," Li Ying said.
"Who did it? How would the rioters know who our messengers are?" Kong Tong asked in astonishment.
Eastern Dawn Fortress was indeed a remote place. The roads were difficult to reach. However, not all the messengers were in the army. Some of them might even disguise themselves as merchants or civilians. Only the higher-ups in the army knew about them. How would the rioters be able to kill them?
"There's a traitor in our army. The student from the Dragon Tamer School is here. He will tell us the details," Li Ying said.
"Flying Bird Battalion is on their way. You don't have to worry about it for now. On the other hand, the envoy from Firmament City will be here soon. We can't afford to delay the negotiations … "Kong Tong's wife said.
"I know. Tell everyone to go inside the hall," Li Ying said.
"I'll control the news for now. I'll try my best not to let anyone know what happened at Eastern Dawn Fortress," Kong Tong said.
"Mmm," Li Ying nodded.
Firmament City was the biggest problem. If they could negotiate with the rioters, they would no longer have to worry about the west. They could even flatten the Wasteland before winter!
That being said, they could not just let the rioters invade their territory. They had to send reinforcements to the east as soon as possible. The Flying Bird Battalion was the strongest and most mobile troop in Zulong City. If they were sent, the rioters would be wiped out in no time.
…
Inside the meeting hall of the Li Clan's royal residence, a red troop of honor slowly walked across the hall and went up the stairs.
The leader of the troop of honor was a man in a luxurious red official's robe. He had a feathered crown on his head. His facial features were handsome, and his every movement had a hint of nobility …
Behind him were many soldiers carrying wooden boxes. These soldiers had fireworks tied to their chests too. They were clearly not here to start a fight. They were only here to celebrate something joyous.
The wooden boxes were exquisitely carved with all kinds of patterns. They were placed on both sides of the door. The man with the feathered crown ordered them to be opened.
When the chest was opened, it was filled with gold, silver, jewels, and silks. Ancestral Dragon City was considered a rich land, but in terms of wealth, it couldn't be compared to Firmament City. They had inexhaustible gold mines and endless food.
"Our Lingxiao City has always been generous to our neighbors. Naturally, our city lord will not be stingy with this marriage. These will be the betrothal gifts for marrying Her Highness. I hope the nobles of the Ancestral Dragon City will like them." The man with the feathered crown spoke with a bit of pride, but he did not neglect his etiquette.
