Chapter 341 Yes, Your Majesty

Niao Feijue became a messenger bird as he wished.

It was not because of his great contribution, but because the Sifang Kingdom was carrying out a massive transformation plan, and the king needed more birds to serve as his messengers and listen to his voice.

Niao Feijue found that he had underestimated the hard work of this job.

The messenger bird had to fly non-stop, traveling between the king and other relevant power figures in the center of the city, even if it was just to convey one or two meaningless greetings or sighs.

The king's voice was not quite the same as what it thought.

As a messenger bird, Niao Feijue could stand on the king's shoulder and listen to his inner voice.

A powerful voice came from the king's broad chest, and this voice was transmitted to his shoulder along the rock skin, turning into an exciting and trembling command: "Go to the farm in the north, I want to know the harvest of sweet potatoes and taro."

After receiving the order, the messenger bird flapped its wings and arrived in the north to observe the local situation. It got intelligence from the local commander and then came back to report.

"Go south, I need to know the number of chickens in the fence."

The messenger bird took off again and repeated the above.

Except for the few times when he concentrated his attention, the king's thoughts were easily wandering most of the time.

"What am I doing? Who am I? Why am I here?"

"Would it be more useful to think in a different way?"

"...Sifang Kingdom, why is it called Sifang Kingdom?"

At this time, the messenger birds will tell the king in unison.

"You gave this place a name, and Sifang Kingdom was set by you."

"Me? Oh."

The king's memory has always been not very good.

"Where is the Bone King?"

The messenger birds rushed to answer again: "The Bone King left the Sifang Kingdom and went into the depths of the abyss to fight."

"Why?"

"Because Lord Bone King worships death, this is the land of the living."

"Where is the Wing King?"

"Lord Wing King also went to the fifth floor. Lord Wing King likes hunting and can't sit still."

"Oh..."

After entering the messenger bird group, Bird Feijue learned many secrets.

According to legend, there were three rulers of the fourth layer of the abyss in the past, namely the Rock King, the Bone King and the Wing King.

The era when the three kings coexisted was also the fastest time for the Four-sided Kingdom to develop.

The initial establishment and development of the Four-sided Kingdom was also completed by the three kings.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Soon the Bone King and the Wing King led a large group of people to leave together and go deep into the fifth layer.

In their words.

"Instead of going to the depths of the abyss to find a way out, staying here as a local emperor? It's really funny."

Unlike the Rock King, the Bone King and the Wing King built the Four-sided Kingdom for the purpose of recruiting soldiers and recruiting enough soldiers to form an army to enter the fifth layer to compete.

They never came back after they left.

The residents of the Four-sided Kingdom love the Rock King. Because the Rock King is different, he doesn't mind being the king of a small country, guarding this not-so-wide land, day after day.

The messenger birds spoke obscurely and restrainedly, but the bird flying still pieced together the original truth.

The Bone King and the Wing King disliked the slowness and weakness of the Rock King, and thought he was a burden. They didn't even want to take him with them, and left with their elite troops without even saying hello.

For the residents here, even a stupid and forgetful defender is much better than an ambitious radical leader who fights everywhere.

Niao Feijue's brain is fast, and soon it sees a shocking truth: the king lives in a fake four-sided country.

The harvest of taro and sweet potato is fake.

The number of chickens in the chicken coop is also fake.

There are a lot of fish and frogs in the fish pond, which is still fake.

Everyone lives well, which is also fake.

…

Everything the king heard and saw was a set of fictions and fabrications made up by generals and commanders.

Niao Feijue went to see the farmland in person, and large areas of the field were in a state of abandonment.

It's not that the farmers are unwilling to farm, but if the harvest does not reach the number set by the commanders, the farmers will be whipped, and they have to make up the deficit. If you can't even eat enough, you might as well not do it.

The chickens in the chicken coop are often stolen, and the thieves include soldiers, cooks, and chicken farmers themselves. Everyone's chickens are stolen, so no matter the commander in charge or the chicken farmer, they don't want to cause trouble or make a fuss, which will cause them to be punished.

The fish in the fish pond are difficult to grow up. First, someone will secretly catch the fish, and second, the fish are easy to die of illness, but there is no doctor who can treat fish in the Four Kingdoms.

Frogs are living well, but they live in poisonous fish ponds, with poison sacs all over their bodies, very few edible parts, and they are easy to get upset.

Everyone often trades privately with each other, turning a blind eye to each other, and the whole Four Kingdoms is getting worse and worse.

This is the real situation.

But no one will tell the king about this. The disclosure of any one thing will cause a large group of related personnel to be severely punished, and that will make everyone the enemy.

What the messenger bird has to do is to further polish and modify the exaggerated descriptions given by the commanders of various routes to make them look like facts.

If the whole city is a lie, then at least make this lie a little better.

"We are just a group of messenger birds."

"We can't change anything."

This is the consensus of the whole group.

Niao Feijue found that this has become a dead end.

Every person who knows the truth is guilty. If you want to tell the truth, you will hurt yourself and offend a large group of people involved.

Smart people know what to do.

Days passed, and Niao Feijue wandered between the suppressed and torn falsehood and reality, feeling more and more depressed.

It had no one to talk to, so it could only shamelessly find its good brother Niu Sansi.

When the evil army appeared before, Niao Feijue said that he was going to report the news. It was really scared, so it found an excuse to leave its comrades and escape.

Since then, it has been hiding from Niu Sansi.

When he heard that Niu Sansi was appointed by General Hai to join the evil army, Niao Feijue was more in silence for this old friend. Compared with patrolling in the east road, it is not known whether Niu Sansi can survive if he mixes in with that group of evil ghost-like soldiers.

Not long after, two demigods attacked the Sifang Kingdom. In that battle, Niu Sansi controlled a strange device and participated in the battle of killing gods.

Niao Feijue watched this battle from a distance, and his heart was surging, jealous and surprised.

Among those well-trained and fierce corpse demon soldiers, Niu Sansi did not fall behind at all.

This guy is actually a natural warrior!

Seeing Niu Sansi again, Niao Feijue was a little embarrassed: "Seeing you are doing well, I feel relieved..."

Niu Sansi looked stronger, no longer skinny and hungry, and looked energetic.

It had no grudges against the past, but enthusiastically introduced the various benefits of the legion to Niao Feijue: the food was terrible, everyone was very fierce, and even demigods could be killed...It suggested that Niao Feijue also apply to join the legion.

"No, I can't adapt to such an army."

After listening to Niao Feijue's bitterness, Niu Sansi was shocked: "What? The Sifang Kingdom is going to perish?! Why is this happening?"

Influenced by his profession, Niao Feijue habitually exaggerates the situation.

From getting worse and worse, it became the impending destruction of the country.

"How should I know? The source should have started from the Three Kings era... At that time, the Bone King and the Wing King liked to hide it from His Majesty the King."

Niao Feijue finally got rid of his boredom, flapped his wings and let out a long breath: "It seems that it is a good thing that you can join the Legion of Evil."

Niu Sansi suddenly said: "Isn't the Legion now allied with the Four Kingdoms? You can tell General Hai about this and ask General Hai to help the king to rectify the Four Kingdoms!"

"..."

Niao Feijue thought that the situation would not be worse than it is now. If the Legion wants to seize the city, it will be sooner or later. At least through this group of fierce soldiers, some changes can be forced to be brought about.

"Okay. But don't say that I told you, just say that you know it yourself."

"Impossible."

Niu Sansi scratched his head: "Everyone knows that I am very familiar with you, and now you are a messenger bird. How to do this? Everyone will definitely know that it was you who said it."

This guy has become smart.

Niao Feijue made up his mind: "Take me to see General Hai!"

The messenger bird really can't do anything big.

But when it comes to adding fuel to the fire, we are professionals.

…

Niao Fei never expected that soon after he talked with General Hai, a series of dramatic changes soon took place in the four directions.

First, General Hai and the king reached a consensus on the transformation of the Four Kingdoms.

The managers of the Yao tribe arrived one by one. They formed a city council to allow people of different races to speak and make suggestions, and abolished the previous system of military management of the city.

A large number of redundant soldiers were dismissed, more than ten commanders were severely punished and dismissed, and two generals, General Yuan and General Shi, were also demoted to commanders.

Under the guidance of senior farmers, herdsmen, and engineers assisted by the Yao tribe, the cultivated land area of ​​the Four Kingdoms increased significantly, and potatoes, soybeans, and wheat were added to the soil.

The new ghost doctor treated various diseases for the city residents and taught them how to use drugs and the most basic first aid methods.

They even fixed a device called a sky lantern in the sky to illuminate the entire city, replacing the perennially tired mad flame birds.

The city was undergoing earth-shaking changes. The old rules were visibly collapsing. A new order was being established and erected. This was a war without the flash of swords.

At this time, Niao Feijue rested on the king's shoulder tiredly and looked to the east.

There, the artillery vehicle made a rumbling sound.

It thought.

Niu Sansi must still be practicing hard.

Suddenly, the king's inner voice came: "Was my governance of the city really bad in the past?"

Niao Feijue replied: "Yes, it was very bad. Your Majesty."

"...No wonder the population has always been small."

The king stroked his forehead with his big hand in contemplation: "The residents must hate me, right?"

"Although your governance level of the city is low, you are easily fooled, your mind is not smart, and the planning and management are chaotic...but everyone supports you, Your Majesty."

The king held his head with both hands: "Don't say it, don't say it...Can't you praise me more like in the past?"

"Your Majesty, praise will only make people lost and arrogant. Only by recognizing the imperfect reality can one become a great and wise monarch. Telling you the truth is the loyalty and mission of the messenger bird."

Niao Feijue said coldly.

"...Then you should scold me more." The king patted the stone head with both hands, his voice annoyed and low.

"Yes, Your Majesty."
