Chapter 422 Whimsical
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves. The originally noisy and bustling scene suddenly became silent.
All the people present, their eyes were drawn to the person who had just spoken as if drawn by a magnet.
At this moment, an old man in ragged clothes staggered forward from the crowd. His weather-beaten face was full of traces of time, and his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing this, Ni Nainai stepped forward and asked softly, "Old man, where did you say there was a ghost?"
When the old man heard someone asking him a question, he raised his head with a slight tremor, looked at the pretty but puzzled young woman in front of him, and said in a choked voice:
"Girl, I was originally a commoner living in Ling County, five hundred miles away. But now... Alas! My whole family, young and old, has been harmed by that evil ghost bride. I escaped from there at the risk of my life!" At this point, the old man was already sobbing, tears streaming down his cheeks like a flood bursting through a dam.
Everyone was moved when they heard about this tragic experience, and they all looked at her with sympathy. However, apart from the pitying eyes and low sighs, no one dared to step forward, as if they were afraid of the so-called ghost bride. The whole scene fell into a solemn and strange silence.
"Ling County?" Qin Hanmo was puzzled. He seemed to have heard some rumors, but he didn't know the details. Some also said that it was someone's doing.
"Yes, I don't know how many villagers are still there now," said the old man.
"Old man, how about this, you come with us to Ling County, and we will definitely resolve the issue of the ghost bride." Ni Naina comforted.
"I..." The old man was confused for a while, "I'd better not go. I haven't seen my poor daughter yet. I can't die like this. I still have to go find my daughter." The old man said this and felt sad again.
"Old man, where are you going to find your daughter?" Qin Hanmo asked.
"I heard that it's in the capital. I want to go and have a look." The old man said while wiping his tears.
"I also have people here who are going to the capital. I'll ask them to take you with them so that you can be taken care of along the way." Qin Hanmo said.
"Then thank you, young master." The old man was about to kowtow, but Qin Hanmo immediately supported him and asked his servants to take the old man to the capital with Ling Xiao and the others.
The problems here were resolved, and all the people waved to Ni Naina and his carriage. Then the town returned to its original prosperity and bustle.
capital……
Under the supervision of Crown Prince Qin Hanyu, Feng Ling dug the lake within one day. Looking at the giant excavation equipment, the Crown Prince and others were shocked.
"Dean Feng Ling, can you lend me this equipment?" the prince asked politely.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do? Build a palace... or build a bridge or a road?" Feng Ling asked with her hands on her hips.
"If my father saw this equipment, he would be shocked as well. So I want my father to take a look as well. Can our country also use this?" The prince said without hiding his inner desire.
"You can look at it, but if you want to use it here all the time, it's impossible. This is not something from the Goddess Academy. It's just borrowed by the Goddess Academy due to its good relationship." Feng Ling knew what the prince was thinking, and with just a few words, she blocked this path for him.
"Oh, I see." The prince did not insist too much, but nodded in agreement, "By the way, Dean Feng Ling, I wonder if the academy is still accepting students. I would like to arrange for some children from noble families to come and study, so that they can also contribute to our country."
"The academy is recruiting at any time, but one has to go through an assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can enter," Feng Ling looked at the prince and replied with a smile; You thought you opened this academy, so you can come whenever you want. I know your little tricks, but if you hadn't colluded with the half-human and half-beast female devil, there would have been no war. But I still have to thank you for letting me reserve my wife for the next life.
"Okay, then, Dean Feng Ling, when do you think it would be appropriate to arrange for him to come?" the prince asked respectfully.
"Anytime is fine. There are teachers in the academy. You can go anytime." Feng Ling said.
“Okay, okay, thank you very much, Dean Feng Ling. I want my father to see this equipment. How do we move it over? It’s so big…” The prince pointed to the super-large mechanical remote-controlled excavator parked not far away.
"King, if you want to see it, just come here yourself. Otherwise, you can ask someone to make a picture for you to take back." Feng Ling was too lazy to drive the way for them. She would save trouble if possible.
"Okay, I'll have someone take the portrait back." The prince looked at the magical excavator with pleasure. If this kind of equipment was used in this land in the future, a lot of manpower could be saved. If it was equipped with a bayonet weapon, it could dominate the battlefield...
I have to say that the prince's mind is quite flexible. He can come up with so many fantasies just by looking at this thing.
"Your Highness, here's a letter from His Majesty." At this time, the guard came to report and handed over the letter with both hands.
Qin Hanyu opened it and his fingertips moved slightly.
