651 The Discussion in the Great Hall
This map was the path he had taken all the way here. If there were no accidents, there was a 70 to 80 percent chance that he could find the destination easily by following the map.
“Okay, the most important thing now is that the ruins of the academy have been in the wilderness for more than a year. No one knows how long they can last in the wilderness.” Li Xiang took the map and looked at it.
The map was drawn by Zhang Fei. He had a good foundation in painting. Although it looked simple, the specific routes and the various references on the map were very clear. As long as one could find the corresponding place and follow the map, one could reach the destination smoothly.
The value of this map was extremely precious.
It pointed to the location of an academy, and it was not an ordinary academy. It could be a top academy of a certain era. Once they obtained the talents, the benefits would be too great.
“Alice, immediately inform everyone to discuss this in the Great Hall!”
Li Xiang carefully studied the map in his hand. He could tell that it was drawn with animal skin, and it was not the original draft, but a new one. Some of the obvious areas had been specially marked.
“Yes!”
Now, Alice’s position had been changed from a guard to a full-time secretary.
Not long after, the wontons that Chen Tao made were served.
With the arrival of the delicious food, Li Xiang didn’t think much about anything else. He put the map aside and focused on having breakfast with Yang Mi and the others.
This time, he had cooked quite a lot of wontons. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and the rest stayed behind to taste the wontons made by Chen Tao. Zhang Fei and the others’ appetites were greatly stimulated as they enjoyed the meal.
In the process of eating, no one had any other thoughts. Their minds were focused on carefully savoring the wonderful taste of the food in front of them. Every bit of taste was deeply engraved in their souls.
Li Xiang was even more so. When he tasted good food, his attitude had always been the most sincere. This was a form of respect for good food.
After eating, the group headed to the Great Hall together.
In the Great Hall, Li Jing, Ye Xi, Tork, Elder Huang, and the others had arrived one after another.
After Li Xiang sat down on the throne, he took out the map and handed it to everyone. At the same time, Zhang Fei retold his previous experience.
After listening to Zhang Fei’s story, everyone in the Great Hall was secretly shocked. Their faces revealed shock and surprise.
“Country Lord, I think we must immediately send the army over!”
Huang Chengyan was the first to step forward and said decisively, “If this academy exists, even if it’s only a part of it, there must be a lot of students in it. The scriptures of the saints inside can even stop fierce beasts and kill foreign races. It can be confirmed that this academy has the cultivation method. As long as we can save them, we can add another powerful force to the Kingdom of Dawn.”
He was also from the Confucius faction. Now he knew that the Confucius academy was being besieged by fierce beasts and foreign races, so he had to go and rescue them. Those inside were all talents!
In chaotic times, talents were even rarer!
“That’s right. If we can get the recognition of the academy’s students, it will certainly make the kingdom’s development faster. It will also be of great help to the construction of the academy.” Li Jing also nodded in agreement.
“The problem now is that, according to General Zhang, it was a year ago when he first encountered this academy. Anything could happen in this one year. Perhaps, it no longer existed. That was also possible. Furthermore, to send out troops, we must first obtain intelligence. What races were the foreign races that besieged the academy? How many of them were there? How strong were they? We can’t be rash in military matters,” said Zhou Qing with a frown.
It wasn’t that he didn’t agree with saving them, but he needed to know the specific information first before he could respond.
“Brother Zhou is right. However, this is an urgent matter. The Country Lord has the Void Divine Gate. Even if we find something amiss, we can easily escape. I felt that we shouldn’t make a big deal out of this matter and should instead send a small group of elites. Firstly, it can avoid alerting foreign races when the information was unclear. Secondly, once the situation is discovered and the academy still exists, we can use the elite army to rescue the students in it first to avoid alerting the enemy.”
Li Jing said again.
“Country Lord, I am willing to go. I’m the first to discover this academy. I hope I can go with the army.” When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately stepped forward and bowed.
This matter had been hovering in his mind for a long time. As long as he had time, it would appear in his mind. He had no choice but to escape back then, which made him feel a trace of guilt. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally hoped to go with the army. It was not for anything else but to make up for the guilt in his heart.
“This time, I plan to go personally. Elder Huang, Li Jing, and Zhang Fei, the three of you will go with me. Zhao Yun, Ye Xi, and Tork, you will stay behind.”
Li Xiang decided after weighing the pros and cons.
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Mi and the others apologetically.
“Go ahead. We’re here in the Kingdom of Dawn!” said Yang Mi with a smile.
She could see the guilt and apology in Li Xiang’s eyes.
They also wanted to go out and go through all kinds of storms with him, but they couldn’t do that. The Kingdom of Dawn was the foundation, and there had to be someone who could make decisions.
Although Ning Xiaoyue, Zhou Yutong, Tong Qingya, and Chen Shu were also Li Xiang’s women, they did not have the same reputation and authority as Yang Mi in the Kingdom of Dawn.
Although the Kingdom of Dawn was a country, its political system was in chaos. The four women’s positions were not yet determined, so they couldn’t replace Li Xiang.
On the other hand, Yang Mi had always been by Li Xiang’s side. Most importantly, she had been recognized by a large number of subordinates.
Even if it wasn’t strength, it was still a spiritual pillar, which was a symbol of status, and a representative meaning.
Other than Li Xiang, the only other person with such status was Yang Mi.
Li Xiang was the Lord of Dawn, so he was naturally blessed by luck. No one could shake his position in the hearts of the people, and Yang Mi was the second.
Yang Mi was Li Xiang’s publicly announced wife. She was the queen of the Kingdom of Dawn and the matriarch of thousands of people. With her around, the people’s morale would not be in turmoil.
This was how in ancient dynasties, when the emperor was out for an inspection, there must be someone of royal blood in the palace. If it wasn’t the empress, then it would be the crown prince, prince, and so on. Otherwise, the world would be in turmoil.
Yang MI’s performance in this regard was very appropriate.
Whether it was Huang Chengyan or Li Jing, or even the demons and angels, they all secretly approved of Yang Mi.
After some discussion, most of the people left. Only Huang Chengyan, Li Jing, Zhang Fei, and a few others were left in the Great Hall.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to a place.”
With a wave of his hand, the Void Divine Gate opened, and Li Xiang was the first to enter.
Huang Chengyan and the rest followed closely behind.
