Chapter 1233 Divine Beast
"Could my Grandpa Ge have written it wrong?"
Wan Lianxing shook his head and said, "No, your grandfather would not make such a mistake."
The grandfather and grandson were both curious and puzzled. Wan Lianxing turned the letter to the second page and laughed again, "Your Grandpa Ge is really good at keeping Grandpa in suspense. He knows that Grandpa has never been far away and has never seen the world, so he is teasing Grandpa on purpose. He wrote in the letter that the boat he mentioned is not a ship, but a huge and docile animal. Oh, this animal is really comparable!"
"What's the matter, little grandpa? Please tell your grandson!"
"This huge animal actually has two small peaks on its body. It also has long legs, and its strides are large and brisk, with long-lasting power. Oh, this is even more amazing. It can survive without food for half a month."
"Only two meals of food a month?" Cheng Youning was very anxious. "Grandpa, what on earth is this?"
Wan Lianxing pointed at Xin and said, "This mythical beast is called a camel. It is called the 'Ship of the Desert' in Lingyuan. If you want to cross the desert, you have to rely on this camel. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move. Horses cannot travel through the desert at all."
Ge Dongqing's letter made the grandfather and grandson stop eating and they were shocked. In the end, they still didn't understand what kind of huge creature this camel was.
Cheng Youning's little head turned, and he took out the four treasures of the study and said to Wan Lianxing, "Little Grandpa, please write a letter to my Grandpa Ge as soon as possible and ask him to bring a camel to open our eyes when he comes back."
Wan Lianxing was grinning from ear to ear, and he was obviously more energetic than a few days ago. His eyes sparkled, but he said to Cheng Youning, "I wonder if such a huge creature only lives in the desert? Will it have problems with the local climate if we bring it back?"
Cheng Youning picked up Ge Dongqing's poem and read it again and again and said, "Little Grandpa, this camel will definitely adapt to the climate and soil. If you don't believe me, read the poem written by my grandfather Ge. Although this desert is a wonder, it is not a good place. He rode his camel for three days and three nights without leaving. Camels can survive in such an environment. We have clear water and blue sky here, and camels will definitely be raised better. Little Grandpa, please write a letter!"
Wan Lianxing picked up the pen and put it down again, "Grandson, Grandpa thinks this is not right. Your Grandpa Ge has successfully persuaded Lingyuan to send troops to attack Dalang. This letter has been on the road for several days. Now your Grandpa Ge has gone to Yatuo to lobby."
Cheng Youning was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down: "Grandpa, please send a few people to Lingyuan and bring back a camel for your grandson to see."
Cheng Youning was not the only one who wanted to see the camel's true appearance. Wan Lianxing also wanted to see it. Just as he was about to give the order, Cheng Feng coughed lightly, because the grandfather and grandson were studying the camel as if no one else was around, and had ignored the other people in the room.
Wan Lianxing looked at Cheng Feng and said, "What do you want to say?"
Cheng Feng said, "Uncle, is it necessary to go to Lingyuan with just one camel?"
“Has the wind seen a camel?”
Cheng Feng said: "We have all seen camels in deserts, wastelands, and Gobi deserts."
"Have you all seen the wonders of the desert and the mythical beasts?"
Cheng Feng said: "It is a wonder, but it looks more like a disaster to me."
"how to say?"
"Uncle, it's really hard to travel through the desert. The desert is like a big furnace during the day. If you bury an egg in the sand, it will be cooked in no time. If you walk in the desert, you have to cover your body with cloth, including your face, otherwise you will get sunburned."
"So hot?" Wan Lianxing found it hard to imagine how hot it was, but as someone who had never seen a desert, he found it very novel.
"Uncle, it's not just the heat that's a problem. What's worse is that it's extremely hot during the day, and very cold in the morning and evening. The wind blows for no reason, and it doesn't stop. The sand keeps getting into my eyes, which is very uncomfortable."
"There is such a place? I am really ignorant!" Wan Lianxing kept sighing in his heart! He also wanted to see the yellow sand with his own eyes, step on the difficult desert, eat an egg boiled in sand, and see how it was different from one boiled in water.
Looking at Wan Lianxing's radiant look, Suiying couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Your Majesty, there is actually a desert in Dalang Kingdom, but Your Majesty has never been there."
"Why didn't you take me to see it in the past?"
"What's the point of going to such a tortured place? It's just like a furnace. You will become pitch black in one day. You can't stand such torture."
"How big is that camel?"
Suiying stood on the ground and gestured to Wan Lianxing.
"Are you talking about the camel? It is clearly written in Dongqing's letter that the camel is carrying two small mountains on its back." Wan Lianxing had preconceived ideas and after reading the letter written by Ge Dongqing, he did not believe what Suiying said at all.
"Your Majesty, I am more trustworthy than that Ge Dongqing. Ge Dongqing is so vague that he can even say that a dead thing is alive. A camel is only this big, and it is definitely not the huge monster that Ge Dongqing said. He just knew that you have seen that thing, so he exaggerated it." Suiying gestured and explained for a long time, and only then did Wan Lianxing and Cheng Youning know what this mythical beast was. However, the grandfather and grandson insisted on getting a camel back to have a look. Suiying had no choice but to send people out to find a camel.
This letter from Ge Dongqing was like a panacea, and Wan Lianxing's bad mood disappeared in an instant. He knew that Sha Guanghan was looking forward to Ge Dongqing's letter just like him, so he asked someone to rush to deliver Ge Dongqing's letter to Sha Guanghan at the front line.
According to what Ge Dongqing said in the letter, Ling Yuan had already raised his army to attack Dalang Kingdom at this time. Ling Yuan was to the north of Dalang Kingdom. This time, Wan Lianxing wanted to let Dalang Kingdom feel what it meant to be attacked from all sides. He wanted to let the emperor of Dalang Kingdom experience the anxiety and uneasiness that he was suffering now.
Sure enough, the court of Dalang State was in a dark cloud again. They were not on good terms with Lingyuan, but they were not at the point of fighting each other. There was a pass between the two countries, which was used for trade between the two countries and was also a place frequented by merchants. They liked to transport their goods there to trade with each other, and the people nearby would also bring their things to exchange for money or barter. It was also a good place to buy and sell slaves. Although there were a lot of fakes and all kinds of reselling, it was all legal.
The current emperor of Dalang Kingdom is no longer the carefree emperor of the past. Right now, he is a hundred times more depressed than Wan Lianxing had imagined, because the envoy of Nanfang Yan Kingdom has come with a painter, and wants to paint a portrait of Princess Zhuoyang and bring it back to Nanfang Yan Kingdom to present to the emperor for review.
