Four, the top of Mount Tai
"I heard that the special envoy came specially for inspection and security work?" Song Qing asked after Song Fei sat down.
"No, Lord Qinglong sent me to perform another mission. I just passed by here." Song Fei answered truthfully.
Hearing Song Fei's words, Song Qing was stunned and didn't know what he was going to do. He looked at him doubtfully.
"This is the thing," Song Fei explained when he saw Song Qing's doubtful eyes, "I passed by the foot of Mount Tai and was stopped by a bodyguard. At that time, I asked him as an ordinary person why Mount Tai was under martial law. Who knew that he didn't even think about it, so he told me that His Majesty the Emperor would come to Mount Tai to worship the sky a month later.
"Is there any problem with this?" Song Qing still doesn't understand.
"If everyone knows that the emperor is coming to Mount Tai to sacrifice the sky, and the specific time is a month later, there will be a problem! You can do a lot of things in a month!" Song Fei said the three words "many things" very seriously.
Hearing what Song Fei said, Song Qing's eyelids jumped and his eyes were distracted.
"If those people with bad intentions know that the emperor sacrificed to the sky a month later, they can use this month to do a lot of things. If something goes wrong when the emperor sacrifices to the sky, it will not be good. After all, a big thing happened to Mount Tai 30 years ago!" Song Fei didn't give Song Qing much time to think and continued.
"No way? The emperor sacrifices to heaven every ten years, and everyone in the Phantom Dynasty knows it. Although the specific date will depend on the actual situation, the 600-year tradition has been like this. Even if some people have bad intentions, they already know about the emperor's sacrifice to heaven.
"General Song, this year is very different from previous years, and the power of the five sects is not what it used to be! And now there are a large number of adventurers stationed in the Phantom Continent, and the guards of the major cities are obviously not enough. I think the defense force for sacrificing the sky today must be as good as in previous years, right? After getting Song Qing's nod and affirmation, Song Fei continued, "If the five sects take this opportunity to make something happen, I'm afraid it's not good?
"Also, those adventurers are also an unpredictable factor. I am an adventurer, and I know the psychology of adventurers very well. They have a very strong curiosity. If they know the specific date of the emperor's sacrifice, there will be a large number of adventurers to join in the fun. That scene is not what these defenders can deal with now. At that time, if someone lurks among these adventurers and waits for the opportunity to make trouble, the consequences will be serious!"
"This, what should I do? You can't let the emperor come to sacrifice to the sky, can you?" Song Qing's forehead was covered with a layer of sweat.
"Of course! How can the emperor stop doing such a big thing because he is afraid that people will make trouble?"
"What should I do?" Song Qing panicked for a moment.
Today is just the first day of martial law. Why is there such a big leak? In the past, the sacrificial ceremony was done in this way, and nothing happened, but what the four heavenly king said in front of him is indeed reasonable. If something really happens, he can't afford it!
"According to my intention, General Song immediately ordered to go down. When there were idle people waiting for Mount Tai, he told them that there were monsters in Mount Tai. The court was organizing troops to besiege monsters. Martial law was afraid that unknown people would enter the mountain and be hurt by monsters. What does General Song think of this reason?
"This reason is good, but how can the court get back?"
"Little people like you and me can't speak in the court, so I think it's better to ask Lord Qinglong to report this matter to the emperor. To say a big disrespectful word, the emperor is suspicious by nature. If our behavior is not reported and used by people with intentions, let alone us, even Lord Qinglong may be implicated!"
"Hmm!" Song Qing nodded and said, "I will send someone to ask Lord Qinglong immediately."
"Wait, General Song, there is one more thing for the subordinate. I don't know whether to say it or not?"
"Brother Heaven, don't look outside like this. If you have anything, just tell me. How about you and me as brothers when there are no outsiders in the future?" Song Qing will be much more enthusiastic about Song Fei.
"Brother Song, I would like to ask about the number and deployment of the current garrison of Mount Tai. I don't know if it's okay?"
"The defenders I brought this time were 30,000, half of whom were ambushed at the foot of the mountain to check the movements of passers-by, and the other half was arranged on the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain."
"Isn't it a little inappropriate to arrange this? Can you use 15,000 passers-by at the foot of the mountain?
"What should I do according to my brother's intention?"
"I don't think the people at the foot of the mountain need to ambush at all, just let them change into ordinary people's clothes and patrol back and forth on the road. And it doesn't need so many people. One thousand people is enough. As for the people on the mountain, has the eldest brother checked other places?
"Other places? There is only one way up the mountain, and there is no other way.
"Can't you go up the mountain without passers-by?" Song Fei looked at Song Qing and asked.
"Oh! What the brother said is that it seems that the eldest brother has neglected!"
"Those masters can fly around on cliffs. How can it be difficult to stop them without a road! In my brother's opinion, the eldest brother should organize people to search the whole mountain several times. Even if there is no one, if you find a beast with stronger strength, it will be removed. You don't want the emperor to suddenly string out beasts to scare the emperor when he sacrifices to the sky, right?
"Well, what you said makes sense!" Song Qing nodded and said.
"It's better to create a few relatively large battlefield traces, which can prove that our troops are besieging monsters on Mount Tai."
"Well, brother, this plan is really good! I will immediately report to Lord Qinglong. If this plan can be passed, the brother must be the first!"
"System Tip: Congratulations on completing the 'Hidden Danger of the Sacrifice Ceremony', the plot branch of Qinglong City, rewarding 3 points of world prestige, 10 points of national reputation, and 50 points of reputation of Qinglong City."
"Well, big brother, I don't care about the credit. Let's give this credit to the big brother as a gift!"
"Brother, what are you talking about! How can I monopolize such a great contribution? Then what kind of person am Song Qingcheng! Since the brother has the intention to hand it over to me as a big brother, how about half of each of us?
"Okay, listen to the big brother!"
These two shameless people have already contributed here before the matter is settled!
"Brother, in fact, I passed by Mount Tai this time, and I just wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see the sunrise, but I didn't expect to encounter this. I don't know if it's convenient for the eldest brother to let me go to the top of the mountain?
"No problem, brother, just go. I wrote to Lord Qinglong, and I won't accompany my brother, but there are guards along the way. Brothers don't have to worry about safety.
"Thank you very much, brother!"
Leaving Song Qing's camp, Song Fei went all the way to the top of the mountain and met many bodyguards on the way, but they were polite to him. It seemed that Song Qing sent someone to inform him. Song Fei is not in the mood to play with the prestige of his special envoy at this time. The coach has already seen it, and he still cares about the soldiers!
When he came to the top of Mount Tai, Song Fei found that there was a large platform on the top of the mountain. Except for the central closure, there was nothing on the whole platform. After waiting for a while, the sun finally came out.
The moment the sun rose, Song Fei was shocked. A red sun poked its head out of the rolling sea of clouds, and the thousands of glows illuminated the gray sky, which really felt like heaven and earth. No wonder the ancient emperors came to Mount Tai to sacrifice the sky. There is really a feeling of being close to the gods here.
Looking at the rising red sun, Song Fei was extremely excited and unconsciously shouted loudly. After shouting, he released Xiong Ba and Rhu Huang and began to take photos crazily. After taking a group photo with Xiong Ba and Da Huang, Song Fei put away Xiong Ba and Da Huang again and began to take solo photos.
An hour passed after this toss, and the sun was already high, and Song Fei was finally tired of tossing, so he stopped and began to observe the top platform. This platform is very large, estimated to be tens of thousands of square meters. The center is a famous platform in history, which is specially used by emperors to sacrifice to the sky. There are cliffs close to 80 degrees on the east, west and north, and there is only a road to the foot of the mountain in the south.
The west side of Mount Tai is the inland of the Phantom Dynasty. Although several small hills can be seen not far away, they are mainly plains. The most conspicuous thing in the north is naturally the novice village. Song Fei saw the seal boundary of the novice village with soft light at a glance. To the east of Mount Tai is a heavy mountain, which extends south to out of sight. However, because Mount Tai is the highest peak of this mountain system, the endless sea behind the mountain still entered Song Fei's sight.
Seeing the sea, Song Fei was excited again. Although he has seen the sea in real life, every time he goes to the seaside, he will be extremely excited, as if he saw the sea for the first time. That endless momentum can bring a strong shock to his heart every time. And this time it's not the same as before. In the past, I used to stand on the beach and watch the sea. Because I stood too low, I could only see a small piece of the sea, and I could only see a line in the distance. However, this time, the sight on the top of Mount Tai was much wider, and Song Fei naturally saw a wider sea.
Seeing the sea, Song Fei immediately ran to the east cliff excitedly and shouted like a child: "Big~~ sea~~, big~~sea~~"
shouted two words "sea", and Song Fei was so excited that he didn't know what to say. However, before his excitement calmed down, the cup happened again.
