Bang!
The center of Green Dragon Street had now become the undisputed center of the capital. Boom! With a loud bang, a huge cage, which was surrounded by thick green curtains, landed heavily in the center of the high platform under the control of two fully armored soldiers. At that moment, the earth quaked and the surroundings fell silent.
Whether it was the civil and military officials in the restaurants and tea shops, the common people, or the magnates and merchants, all of them were staring at this massive cage.
"What's this?"
The people of the capital craned their necks, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets. They all wanted to know what was inside.
"It's starting?"
At the top of the restaurant, Li Junxian held a fine porcelain teacup, exuding an otherworldly and refined elegance. After glancing at the cage on the platform, Li Junxian quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Get ready. As long as they take off the curtain, our people can enter the field within three days!"
"Your subordinate understands! Following Young Master's orders, we have already found the beast tamer that Young Master wants. He should be able to reach the capital in two days and resolve this crisis. "
The Confucian Sect disciple replied.
Although the journey was long, the Confucian Sect had a special method that could transport these people to the capital as quickly as possible.
Li Junxian nodded and said no more. Outside the railing, there was a new movement on the platform.
Tap tap tap!
Under the gazes of countless people, an old-fashioned, unsmiling soldier walked up the stairs on the high platform to the side of the cage that was surrounded by a cloth curtain. In his hand, there was a three to four foot long rod. At this time, the intention of holding such a thing in his hand was self-evident.
In an instant, everyone held their breath and looked at the soldier.
Whoosh!
In front of everyone's eyes, the three to four feet long stick suddenly flicked, and with a whoosh, the curtain on the surface of the cage was lifted high up. When the blue cloth flew up, time seemed to stand still. All the restaurants, all the teahouses, all the shops, all the people looked at the bottom of the cloth.
Of all the people present, only the Confucian Sect had known about this.
However, at the next moment, the moment the curtain was lifted, something unexpected happened.
Woof! Woof!
Suddenly, a childish barking came from under the curtain.
"What's going on?"
"Is that a dog in the cage?"
"What is the King of Foreign Lands trying to do?"
… …
Upon seeing what was in the cage, the eager crowd glanced at each other in shock. It was such a big scene, with a platform, cages, and even soldiers protecting them. In the end, no one had expected that it would be a furry and adorable dog of around three to four months old.
The moment the curtain was lifted, the dog rushed to the side of the cage, stretched out its tongue, licked the iron bars of the cage, and barked enthusiastically at the crowd below the stands.
The crowd instantly fell into an uproar.
The King of Foreign Lands's actions this time had created quite a stir. Next to the stage were two banners: 'King of Foreign Lands' and 'Might Makes Right'. Everyone believed that the King of Foreign Lands was going to make a grand spectacle so that everyone would accept his point of view, but they had never imagined that the cage on the stage was holding a dog.
Everyone couldn't help but be taken by surprise.
"What's going on? Shouldn't it be the alpha wolf? "
In the restaurant closest to the stage, the Confucian Sect disciples accompanying Li Junxian were flabbergasted. Even Li Junxian couldn't help but slightly crease his brow. From the information they had gathered, Wang Chong had clearly bought a wolf and delivered it to the capital.
But the one who had bought the wolf was a dog. This left the Confucian Sect flabbergasted.
At this moment, it wasn't just the Confucian Sect. All the civil and military officials on both sides of Azure Dragon Street who had heard the news frowned in confusion. No one knew just what the King of Foreign Lands was selling in his gourd!
This fellow's way of doing things … truly is unconstrained and unconstrained! It's impossible to fathom!
In Vast Crane Pavilion, Yao Guang Yi stared at the barking dog, his mind filled with emotion.
When he thought about the incident in Vast Crane Pavilion, Yao Guang Yi had believed it to be a coincidence. After all, there was no way a half-grown boy could be so shrewd as to ruin his plans. But now that he thought about it, everything had clearly been the result of meticulous planning. There was not even the slightest element of coincidence.
One clue was enough to reveal the general trend. When he thought about how a teenager had already possessed the ability to scheme against him, Yao Guang Yi, it wasn't strange at all to compare to his current accomplishments.
In our Yao Clan, not just Feng-er, no one, not even me, can compare to this boy!
At this moment, Yao Guang Yi's eyes dimmed.
The Yao Clan and the Wang Clan had fought for their entire lives, and when the two old masters were in power, they were basically equal. There were even times when the old master of the Yao Clan had the upper hand in the Imperial Court. But in his generation, and even in Feng-er's generation, the Yao Clan had fallen into a complete disadvantage.
They didn't even have the right to compete with the Wang Clan. How could Yao Guang Yi not feel terrible?
Putting aside the commotion on Yao Guang Yi's side, the moment the curtains were lifted, a horse galloped towards the Royal Palace, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"What? A dog? "
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting! This matter is truly getting more and more interesting! "
On the towering golden walls of the Imperial Palace, the First Prince was at first taken aback by the report from his guard, and then he couldn't help but heartily laugh. The embroidered robed eunuch Hu Dequan, who had pitch-black hands and appeared unfathomable, was also taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled along with the First Prince.
At any time, the only thing that could make the First Prince happy was him, a servant.
"Wang Chong, let me see just what medicine you have up your sleeves."
After a long while, the First Prince's smile faded, and a ruminating smile appeared in his eyes.
… …
But the confusion in the hearts of the crowd didn't last for too long. A moment later, another two armored soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, carried a giant metal cage onto the platform. Boom, the metal cage fell to the ground, and there seemed to be something within it constantly striking against the metal bars, creating banging sounds.
Shua, by the side of the metal cage, a Wang Clan armored soldier grabbed a corner of the curtain and suddenly pulled it open. Chi, amidst the gasps of countless people, they saw a giant gray wolf baring its teeth, its expression ferocious as it stared at the armored soldier outside the metal cage, its eyes filled with hostility.
"Wah!"
On the street, a child who was being carried by an adult suddenly cried out in fright. But before the crowd could regain their senses, an armored arm suddenly reached into the metal cage. Completely ignoring the gray wolf's baring of teeth, the arm grabbed its neck and lifted it out of the metal cage.
Clang! At the same time, the other armored soldier immediately opened the metal cage holding the dog. Peng, in the blink of an eye, that extremely ferocious-looking gray wolf was immediately thrown into the metal cage that the puppy was in. In this entire process, the two armored soldiers were expressionless, their movements crisp and devoid of any emotion.
But cries of alarm instantly rose from the audience.
"Ah!"
Everyone was frightened out of their wits by this sight. Some people even couldn't help but turn their heads, not daring to see what would happen next. Given the ferocity displayed by the wolf, one could easily imagine what would happen to the dog. To the common people of the capital, this scene was still far too bloody.
"Xiaobao, don't look."
Some parents hurriedly reached out to cover their children's eyes and avert their gazes.
But a moment later, the expected scene of the gray wolf devouring the dog did not occur. On the contrary, a dog began to bark in an abnormally cheerful manner. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that in the iron cage, the dog was barking non-stop around the wolf that was let in, looking extremely intimate. The gray wolf also instantly put away all its ferocity and became extremely docile. It even stuck out its tongue to lick the puppy's fur, looking very intimate.
If one only looked at its behavior, one might even mistake it for a dog.
Whoooah!
The crowd fell into an uproar at this sight.
"What's going on here? That wolf didn't eat that dog! "
"How could this be! Is it really a wolf? "
… …
All the common people were dumbfounded by this sight. Wolves were vicious by nature, and if one encountered one in the mountains, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that one would die to a wolf's kiss.
This sight had completely surpassed their imaginations.
"Haha, King of Foreign Lands, didn't you say that the weak are prey to the strong? Now that wolves don't eat dogs, if wolves and dogs coexist, aren't you slapping your own face? Even beasts know how to be friendly! King of Foreign Lands, I'd like to see what else you have to say! "
At this moment, a voice came from the crowd. Twenty-some paces from the platform, a Confucian pointed at the cage, his expression agitated and his voice loud and clear, instantly attracting the attention of the crowd.
When Wang Chong had set up his platform on Azure Dragon Street, he had not only attracted the attention of the common people, but also many eminent Confucians and Confucians. This time, the crowd had made up their minds, waiting for Wang Chong to make a move so that they could begin to attack him. But they had never expected that the plans of men would supersede the plans of the heavens. Although Wang Chong was the esteemed King of Foreign Lands, he had made such a huge blunder.
Although wolves were vicious by nature, they did not eat dogs. Did this not precisely illustrate the Confucian theory of benevolence and righteousness?
"Everyone, even beasts are like this, let alone humans. What might makes right? That's complete nonsense. Everyone, burn those crooked books. They're truly a hindrance to the younger generation! "
The other Confucian scholar immediately turned around and shouted loudly behind him.
"Buzz!"
