As long as the registration is successful, no matter how long the advertisement is, you can claim that you are the strategic partner of the first Jingjiang World Games when selling products in the future. This is not only a symbol of honor but also a business opportunity and a guarantee of success.
As a result, the capital city became very lively, and various betting platforms emerged. People made predictions and bets on various events as if they had seen the dawn of victory waving at them. And those gossips and rumors about athletes became people's after-dinner talk and jokes. The whole capital city was immersed in joy and anticipation, waiting for the arrival of that exciting moment.
The sun gradually rose higher, and the golden sunlight filled every corner of Jingjiang City. The glazed tiles of the imperial palace sparkled in the sun, as if covered with a golden coat. Today, the Emperor of Jingjiang will go to Beilang University to participate in a grand cultural exchange event, surrounded by officials and Jinyiwei.
The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with lifelike dragon patterns embroidered on it, showing the majesty and dignity of the imperial power. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a bit of depth and worry. Behind him was a group of guards in brocade clothes, holding long swords and looking solemn, guarding the emperor's safety.
People had already gathered on both sides of the street, some kneeling to salute, some whispering, all full of curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming event. Diplomatic delegations from various countries followed closely behind, their faces full of anticipation and curiosity, as if they were expecting to gain something from it.
Next to the emperor was a young scholar-like man, Lin Xiaofeng. He was wearing a green robe with a white ribbon tied around his waist, looking elegant and graceful. His face was filled with joy and pride, as if this event was of great significance to him.
"Your Majesty, we are about to arrive at Beilang University." Lin Xiaofeng reminded softly.
Emperor Jingjiang nodded slightly, looking into the distance, as if he had already seen the university full of academic atmosphere. However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had a premonition that this event might have some twists and turns.
"Xiaofeng, can you really ensure that everything will be fine for this sports meet?" There was a hint of worry in Emperor Jingjiang's voice.
Lin Xiaofeng turned around and looked at the emperor with a firm gaze: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have made all the necessary preparations. This sports meet will surely satisfy everyone."
The emperor nodded, but the uneasiness in his heart had not completely dissipated. He leaned forward again and asked, "You said before that there would be an opening ceremony. Will your Yangqu County troupe come to perform?"
Lin Xiaofeng's face straightened and he said firmly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have already banned the troupe. They will not have the opportunity to perform this time."
Hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't perform those messy plays, they wouldn't be embarrassed. He began to look forward to the upcoming celebration.
The procession continued to move forward, passing through the busy streets and arriving at the gate of North Corridor University. The gate was wide open and the trees on both sides were lush and green, as if welcoming the emperor and everyone. The campus was already bustling with activity, as people were making final preparations for the upcoming celebration.
The Emperor of Jingjiang looked around and suddenly asked, "I didn't see anyone from Ferrero on the list submitted a few days ago. Could it be that they still harbor resentment towards us in Jingjiang and are unwilling to participate?"
Lin Xiaofeng explained: "Your Majesty, the people from Ferrero are all missionaries and craftsmen. They have high attainments in academics and skills, but there are really no suitable candidates to participate in the competition in sports. Therefore, we only invite them to visit this sports meeting and experience the cultural atmosphere of our Jingjiang."
Emperor Jingjiang nodded to show his understanding. He looked up at the sky and saw blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine, as if indicating that this event would be a complete success.
At this time, a woman in red caught the emperor's attention. She was tall, pretty, and her eyes sparkled with wisdom. She was standing in the crowd, watching everything quietly. The emperor couldn't help but look at her a few more times, secretly admiring her beauty and temperament.
Lin Xiaofeng noticed the emperor's gaze and whispered, "Your Majesty, the woman in red is the princess of Ferrero, named Sofia. She is an intelligent woman with a strong interest in culture and art."
Emperor Jingjiang nodded slightly to express his appreciation. He secretly decided to have a good exchange with Princess Sophia to enhance the friendship between the two countries.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
As the celebration officially began, Emperor Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng and others were led to the rostrum. In the crowd below, the envoys and audiences from various countries stood up and saluted the emperor. The emperor smiled and waved his hand, indicating that everyone did not need to be polite.
At this time, a melodious music sounded, and a group of dancers in gorgeous costumes walked out from both sides of the stage and began to dance happily. Their dancing was graceful and moving, as if pushing the atmosphere of the entire celebration to a climax.
The Emperor of Jingjiang looked at the dancers below, and a feeling of pride surged in his heart. He believed that under his rule, Jingjiang would become more and more prosperous. At the same time, he also looked forward to the successful holding of this sports meeting, which would add another strong and colorful stroke to Jingjiang's cultural exchange.
In the grand celebration of Jingjiang Imperial City, the crowds were bustling, colorful flags were flying, and a jubilant atmosphere filled the air. However, in this lively ocean, there was a group of people who seemed out of place. They stood quietly in the crowd, like an isolated island, surrounded by the hustle and bustle around them, but as if they were isolated in another world.
The most conspicuous person in this group of people is an elderly missionary, Father Jesus. His face is deeply tired, and his eyes are sunken, as if he has been burdened with too much burden and hardship. Although his clothes are neat, they cannot hide his haggardness and thinness. Beside him are a group of young missionaries. Although they seem to be in good spirits on the surface, their eyes reveal an indescribable melancholy and confusion.
Emperor Jingjiang sat on the magnificent dragon throne, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the missionaries. His brows slightly frowned, and a trace of concern appeared on his face. He asked softly: "Are they them? Why do they look so mentally ill? Is there something wrong?"
Lin Xiaofeng was standing beside the emperor. Hearing the emperor's question, he smiled slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. They just didn't sleep well. I'll go and check on them now." After that, he turned and walked towards the group of missionaries.
Lin Xiaofeng walked through the crowd and came to Father Jesus. He looked at the elderly priest carefully and saw that his face was covered with wrinkles, each wrinkle seemed to tell of his vicissitudes and difficulties. His hands were dry and thin, with protruding knuckles, and looked extremely old. Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little sympathy, but was immediately drowned by the ridicule in his heart.
He deliberately teased in a playful tone: "Father, long time no see, are you feeling well?" Father Jesus raised his head, a trace of fear and uneasiness flashed in his eyes. He forced a smile and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Master Lin, I'm fine." His voice was weak and trembling, as if a gust of wind could blow away his words.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Father Jesus' exhausted appearance, and he could not help but feel a little pleased. He continued to ask: "You look so tired, you must have worked very hard, right? More than two months have passed, so many of you should have saved enough money to buy land and build a church, right?" His words revealed a sense of provocation and sarcasm.
Father Jesus felt bitter when he heard this. He thought of the days in the past two months when they had worked hard to save money to buy land and build a church. They got up early and went to bed late every day, running around everywhere, but could only earn a meager income. In order to save money, they could only eat the cheapest meals and live in the most shabby houses. Such days made them feel extremely hard and miserable.
At this moment, facing Lin Xiaofeng's ridicule and provocation, Father Jesus was speechless. He could only lower his head silently to endure the humiliation and pain. His eyes were slightly red, and his heart was full of helplessness and sadness. Lin Xiaofeng continued to taunt: "What? Haven't you saved enough money yet? Then you have to hurry up~" His tone was full of contempt and disdain.
When the missionaries around heard this, they all lowered their heads and remained silent. They all knew in their hearts that the efforts and hardships they had put in over the past two months were so insignificant in Lin Xiaofeng's eyes. They felt extremely lost and desperate, as if all their efforts had come to nothing.
Although the Jingjiang Imperial City is bustling at the moment, behind this prosperity lies countless bitterness and suffering. And who can understand the pain and helplessness in the hearts of those missionaries who persisted for their faith?
The sun shines through the clouds onto the ground of the imperial city, coating everything with a layer of golden light. However, in this golden light, there is a group of people who silently endure pain and humiliation. Their figures appear so lonely and helpless in the crowd, as if they have become a scar in this prosperous place.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Father Jesus and other missionaries who were exhausted, and he could not help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. He understood that the reason why these missionaries were so exhausted was because they had paid too much effort and hardship for their faith. However, in this era, the power of faith was so weak and powerless that they could only silently endure the cruelty and ruthlessness of reality.
Lin Xiaofeng sighed deeply and turned away from the noisy ocean. He knew in his heart that no matter how he mocked and provoked these missionaries, he could not change their faith and persistence. The efforts and hardships they made for their faith were worthy of respect rather than being mocked and provoked.
In this grand celebration in the Jingjiang Imperial City, Lin Xiaofeng's encounter with Father Jesus and other missionaries was brief and full of conflict and ridicule, but it also allowed them to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of each other. Although their stories were full of bitterness and pain, it was these stories that constituted the unique color and charm of this era.
In the streets and alleys of Beijing, the lively atmosphere is like a blazing flame, burning in every corner. Beijing, this ancient capital with a long history, is now radiating unprecedented vitality because of the upcoming sports meeting. The shops on both sides of the street are decorated with lights and various colorful flags, as if announcing the arrival of this grand event to the world.
In the sky, a red sun hangs high, casting thousands of golden rays, illuminating the ancient city with golden splendor. The plane trees on both sides of the street sway gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if playing a prelude to the upcoming sports meeting. The air is filled with the aroma of various snacks, making people salivate. Pedestrians are in an endless stream, either rushing on their way or strolling leisurely, with smiles of expectation and joy on their faces.
In this prosperous capital, a gambling game about the sports meeting has quietly emerged. All the major gambling houses have opened gambling tables, attracting countless gamblers to place bets. They either sit around the gambling table or stand at the door of the gambling house, holding chips, staring at the numbers on the gambling table, with nervous and excited expressions on their faces. In the gambling house, noisy voices come one after another, some people shout loudly, some whisper, and everyone is praying for the winner in their hearts.
Driven by this gambling trend, the people of Beijing paid unprecedented attention to the sports meeting. They speculated on the winners of various events and discussed various possible results. Some people were optimistic about the local players in Beijing, believing that they had a unique advantage; some people were optimistic about the players from other places, believing that they were stronger. For a time, the capital was filled with various predictions and speculations.
In Yangqu County, the scene was equally busy. On the bustling streets, people were busy and orderly carrying out charity activities. Men were sweating profusely as they dug the foundation, while women were serving tea and water to take care of the tired workers. Children were also playing nearby, and their laughter and shouts added some vitality and vigor to this busy construction site.
However, in this warm and busy scene, a group of missionaries frequently visited Yangqu County. They wore neat black robes, black hats, and gentle smiles on their faces. Holding Bibles, they went door to door to preach about a life of plenty and the benefits of the 996 work system. Their voices were soft and infectious, and people couldn't help but be moved.
The arrival of these missionaries attracted the attention of the people in Yangqu County. They gathered around the missionaries and listened to their stories with curiosity. Some were moved by the missionaries' words and showed a yearning look on their faces; some were skeptical and thought that the missionaries' words were too unreal. However, no matter how people reacted, these missionaries kept smiling and patient and continued to preach their doctrines.
Among the missionaries, there was a middle-aged man named John. He was tall, handsome, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom. He was not only the leader of the missionaries, but also a role model in their hearts. His words moistened people's hearts like spring rain, making them feel the beauty and hope of life.
However, behind this group of missionaries, there is an undercurrent. Some people with ulterior motives try to use people's kindness and desire to achieve their own goals. They secretly manipulate the missionaries' actions and let them spread some false information and doctrines. Although these people appear to be in cahoots with the missionaries, their hearts are full of greed and evil.
A bystander named Li Ming stood quietly not far away, observing all this with deep eyes. He was a middle-aged scholar, well-read and well-versed in worldly affairs. He saw the conspiracy and tricks behind these missionaries, but he did not expose them immediately. He believed that the truth would eventually come to light.
As the charity activities progressed and the missionaries spread their message, the people of Yangqu County began to have some differences. Some were confused by the missionaries' words and began to waver in their beliefs and missions, while others stuck to their original intentions and beliefs and continued to build warm homes for those in need.
Just when the prototype of this underground church was just built, some rumors spread like wildfire in Yangqu County. Some people said that these missionaries were not building a church at all, but digging an ossuary in an attempt to steal corpses to sacrifice to the underworld gods. These rumors made people who were already suspicious more certain of their speculation and suspicion. Angry people rushed to the church under construction with torches and kitchen knives, claiming to destroy this evil place.
However, at this time, the detectives from Yangqu County arrived at the scene in time. They stood majestically in front of the people in their official uniforms and weapons to maintain order. The appearance of the detectives calmed the originally excited people a little, but they were still unwilling to give up their actions easily. They gathered around the church and shouted loudly, asking the missionaries to come out and explain everything clearly.
The missionaries were also shocked and uneasy when they heard the shouting outside. They came out of the church one after another and explained their actions and purpose to the angry people. However, no matter how they explained, it was difficult to eliminate the doubts and anger in the hearts of the people. The scene was in a stalemate for a while.
At this time, Li Ming stood up. He walked in front of the people and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, please listen to me! I know everyone is very angry and confused now, but please calm down and listen to my explanation slowly." Then Li Ming took a deep breath, and his voice was steady and powerful: "First of all, I understand why everyone is so angry. After all, the rumors about the ossuary and the worship of the Yin God are too shocking. But please give me some time to let me reveal the truth behind it."
He looked around and saw the anger and confusion on people's faces gradually turning into curiosity and expectation. He continued, "These missionaries are indeed building churches, not ossuaries. What they preach is the power of faith and the sustenance of the soul. As for the 996 work system, it is more of an advocacy of a life attitude, not a mandatory regulation."
"Of course, I also understand that in this era of information explosion, rumors are easy to spread. But please use reason to judge and speak with facts." Li Ming paused and glanced at everyone present. "I know that the people of Yangqu County are kind and wise. We should not be used by some people with ulterior motives, and we should not hurt ourselves because of some nonsense."
When the missionaries heard this, they all looked at Li Ming with gratitude. They knew that this scholar sincerely wanted to defend them and clear their grievances.
The public was also moved by Li Ming's words. They began to calm down and think about their previous impulsiveness and ignorance. They began to realize that they might have really been misled by some rumors.
At this time, an old man stood up. He walked to Li Ming tremblingly with a cane and said, "Scholar, you are right. We cannot be misled by rumors, and we must not make wrong decisions because of momentary impulse. I believe these missionaries sincerely want to bring us the gospel."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, there was a chorus of approval from the people around him. The people expressed their willingness to believe in the missionaries' sincerity and kindness and not be bothered by the rumors anymore.
Seeing this scene, Li Ming felt extremely relieved. He knew that his words had worked. He turned to the missionaries and said, "Dear missionaries, I believe that you sincerely want to bring the gospel to Yangqu County. I hope you can continue to persevere and use your faith and kindness to influence more people."
When the missionaries heard this, they expressed their gratitude and respect. They knew that this scholar was their benefactor and savior. They promised to continue to work hard to spread the doctrine and bring more gospel and warmth to the people of Yangqu County.
As the storm subsided, the people of Yangqu County began to gradually return to their former peace and harmony. They continued to be busy with their work and life, while also paying attention to the upcoming sports meeting. They looked forward to seeing more excitement and touching moments in this event, and also looked forward to cheering for the winners in their hearts.
In the following seven days, the sky of Yangqu County was covered by heavy dark clouds, as if foreshadowing some unspeakable crisis. In front of the church, a large number of monks and Taoists, wearing cassocks and solemn faces, stood in the wind and rain like sculptures. Their eyes revealed deep worries about unknown evil spirits, and they muttered to themselves and danced with their hands, as if they were competing with some invisible force.
Some of these monks and Taoists are old, with white hair and deep wrinkles; some are in their prime, with sturdy bodies and clear muscle lines; and some are young disciples with tender faces and eyes that flash with determination and persistence in their faith. They hold instruments in their hands, wave whisks, or tap wooden fishes, and each of them interprets their loyalty to their faith in their own way.
In the open space in front of the church, dust was blown by the wind and rain, and mixed with the monks' clothes, forming a spectacular scene. However, despite their best efforts, after the ritual was over, they shook their heads and sighed, with disappointment on their faces. They claimed that the evil spirits in this place were too strong and they could not expel them.
At this moment, Yangqu County seemed to be in chaos, and a suffocating sense of oppression permeated the church. Inside the church, the tall cross looked even more solemn and mysterious under the dim light.
The people of Yangqu County were troubled by the evil spirit, so they spontaneously built fences around the church and hung various amulets and portraits. The patterns on these amulets and portraits varied, some depicted ferocious ghosts and gods, while others depicted kind-looking Bodhisattvas. The people also built small temples and Taoist temples near the church, enshrining various gods and ancestors, hoping to counterbalance the evil spirit of the "ossuary".
Amidst the chaos and fear, a bystander stood quietly in the crowd. He was a priest with a firm faith named Joseph. He wore a black priest robe and a tall hat, with a look of melancholy and confusion on his face. He looked at the busy people and the disappointed monks and Taoists, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
Father Joseph couldn't help but ask, "Why should we participate in this activity?" His voice sounded a little weak in the wind and rain.
The organizer of the event was a middle-aged man. He smiled and replied: "To let people see our kindness and love. Only in this way can they trust us more and accept our beliefs."
Father Joseph was silent for a moment. He looked up at the thick dark clouds in the sky, which seemed to swallow up the whole world. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck all the confusion and struggle into his lungs. He knew he had to make a choice, but he didn't know how to choose.
In the following conversation, Father Joseph expressed his desire to go home. He said he wanted to return to his hometown, a place full of faith and purity. However, the organizer of the event made an attractive suggestion: "You can be the representative of the Jingjiang fleet back to Ferrero." He said, "This is a rare opportunity for you to spread our faith and culture to further places."
Father Joseph hesitated. He was struggling and confused. He knew it was a difficult choice. If he chose to stay in Yangqu County and continue to participate in this activity, he might lose his faith and dignity; but if he chose to leave and return to his hometown, he might miss this opportunity to spread faith and culture.
At this time, the people of Yangqu County organized a grand celebration to celebrate the success of the charity event. Amid the blast of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers, Father Joseph followed the organizers of the event into the lively crowd. He was still confused and struggling in his heart, but he knew he had to make a choice.
Father Joseph gradually felt the enthusiasm and kindness of the people during the celebration. He saw that those who were once hostile to the missionaries were now celebrating the festival with them with joy and laughter. He began to think about what his mission and responsibility was. Should he stick to his faith or adapt to reality?
As the night fell and the celebrations gradually came to an end, Father Joseph finally made a decision. He rejected the invitation of the organizers and chose to return to his hometown to continue to spread faith and culture. He believed that only by adhering to faith can one find true belonging and value.
When leaving Yangqu County, Father Joseph's eyes were shining with determination. He walked away in the night wearing a black priest robe and a tall hat. He knew that the road ahead was still long and difficult, but he was willing to work hard for his faith all his life.
The charity activities in Yangqu County have become an unforgettable page in Father Joseph's life. He will always remember those busy people and disappointed monks and Taoists, and their determination and perseverance in the chaos and fear. He cherishes and is grateful for everything he has because he knows that only faith can help him find true belonging and value.
Royal Ceremony and the Glory of North Corridor University
The sun shines through the mist, gently sprinkled on the ancient land of Jingjiang. The breeze in the morning brings a hint of coolness, brushing people's cheeks, but also brings news of the upcoming event. At this moment, the mighty royal convoy is like a giant dragon, winding from afar, with dragon scales flashing and golden light overflowing, shocking everyone's heart.
At the front of the convoy was a gorgeously decorated carriage, with gemstones inlaid on the hood, which sparkled brightly. The curtain on the carriage was gently lifted, revealing a handsome face. It was the emperor of Jingjiang, with anticipation and joy in his eyes.
The gate of North Corridor University was already a busy scene. The teachers and students of the school had already heard about it, and they were busy and orderly preparing for the grand celebration. The cleaners cleaned every corner meticulously, and even the weeds and garbage that usually like to hide in the dark corners disappeared without a trace. The whole campus seemed to be brand new, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
At the school gate, a long red carpet stretched like a bright vein from the school gate to the front of the emperor's carriage. On both sides of the red carpet, there were all kinds of colorful and fragrant flowers. The vendors who had set up stalls at the school gate had already left the land with their carts under the polite persuasion of the Jinyiwei. Their faces were filled with satisfied and proud smiles, as if they were willing to give up everything for this grand celebration.
The self-built shops have been demolished and replaced by a green lawn. The lawn is full of various flowers, which sway in the breeze and emit charming fragrance. The whole campus seems to have turned into a colorful dream, making people linger.
The vendors gathered together with happy smiles on their faces. They said that for the sake of Jingjiang's reputation, they were willing to take root here, even if it meant that their stalls would be buried here forever. These ordinary people expressed their love for the country and their expectations for the grand event in their own way.
In the open space at the school gate, flowers were arranged to form the words "The First Jingjiang World Games". Each word was made up of flowers of different colors, just like the magic of nature. These flowers bloomed in the sun, emitting charming light. The surroundings were full of welcome banners written in various languages, like a song of praise. "Warmly welcome the grand opening of the Games", "Friendship first, competition second", "Welcome friends from all countries", these words sparkled in the sun, as if announcing Jingjiang's prosperity and openness to the world.
The officials looked at the dreamlike sea of flowers and nodded in praise. They were dressed in gorgeous official uniforms, with dignified and solemn expressions on their faces. Although they had read the books of sages and despised those flattering behaviors, they had to admit at this moment that such a scene was indeed joyful and extremely glorious. They were full of admiration for Lin Xiaofeng, the young principal who could come up with such a wonderful idea to arrange this grand event.
Lin Xiaofeng stood in the crowd, with a confident and calm smile on his face. He was dressed in a green robe, with an elegant and deep temperament. His eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if he could see through everything. He looked at the sea of flowers in front of him, and his heart was full of satisfaction and pride. He knew that all this was the result of his careful planning and arrangement, and it was also his expectation and sustenance for the future of Beilang University.
Suddenly, a melodious music sounded, and the emperor's carriage slowly drove over. Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then strode forward to greet him. He was filled with excitement and nervousness, but he knew that this moment was his time to show his talent and ability, and also his time to bring honor to North Corridor University.
When the emperor stepped out of the carriage, Lin Xiaofeng immediately stepped forward to salute. He bowed his head respectfully, put his hands together, and expressed his most sincere greetings and respect to the emperor. The emperor looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation and affirmation. He patted Lin Xiaofeng on the shoulder gently, and then said, "You did a good job, and I am proud that Jingjiang has a young man like you."
Lin Xiaofeng was excited. He looked up at the emperor's kind and majestic face, tears in his eyes. He knew that this moment was one of the most important moments in his life. He had won the emperor's praise and affirmation with his talent and hard work, and also won endless honor and dignity for Beilang University.
On this golden afternoon in autumn, the sun shines like golden silk on every inch of North Corridor University, covering this ancient and solemn institution with a layer of dazzling brilliance. Outside the school gate, the originally quiet street has become bustling, as if a vivid picture is slowly unfolding.
Students came from all directions like a tide, wearing the same dark blue school uniforms and golden school badges on their chests, shining brightly in the sun. Everyone held bright flowers or colorful maracas designed by Lin Xiaofeng in their hands. They stood on both sides of the road, lined up neatly, like soldiers waiting for inspection. Their faces were filled with youthful vitality and thirst for knowledge, and their eyes were shining with anticipation and respect for the upcoming distinguished guests.
With the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling in the distance, the motorcade of Emperor Jingjiang slowly drove towards the school gate. It was a golden carriage pulled by dozens of horses, with gems and pearls inlaid on the body, shining brightly in the sun. On both sides of the carriage were guards in gorgeous armor, holding spears and looking solemn, escorting the emperor.
When the motorcade came into the students' sight, the whole scene instantly became lively. The students waved the flowers and maracas in their hands, and the colorful sands flew in the air, interweaving with the flowers to form a beautiful picture. Applause and cheers rose and fell, like surging waves, conveying this joy and enthusiasm to everyone's heart.
"Welcome Your Majesty to North Corridor University! Long live the emperor!" The students shouted in unison, their voices loud and powerful, full of respect and love for the emperor. Their faces were filled with smiles of excitement and pride, as if at this moment, they had established a special connection with the emperor.
Emperor Jingjiang was sitting in the carriage. Through the gap in the window, he saw these enthusiastic students. A smile appeared on his face, a deep and implicit smile, as if it contained endless wisdom and power. His eyes were shining brightly, revealing his inner joy and satisfaction. He felt the students' love and respect for him, and also felt the enthusiasm and friendliness of this ancient and mysterious oriental country.
When the motorcade slowly passed the foreign missions, the students suddenly changed to foreign languages to greet the guests who came from afar. They spoke various languages fluently, expressing their welcome and respect to the members of the mission. This sudden move stunned the mission team for a moment, but they soon reacted and couldn't help but waved back to the students. Their faces showed surprise and touching expressions, as if they had found a sense of belonging and intimacy in this foreign land.
The members of the delegation were extremely shocked and moved to hear so many greetings in their native language in this foreign land. After arriving in Jingjiang, they had never seen such a grand and enthusiastic welcoming ceremony, and they had never thought that this ancient and mysterious oriental country would attach so much importance to and respect them, the foreign guests. They felt the enthusiasm and friendliness of the people of Jingjiang, and also felt the prosperity and prosperity of this country.
For a moment, the atmosphere of joy filled the air, and the gate of Dongda University was filled with all kinds of greetings and laughter. It seemed that a cross-border cultural exchange feast was taking place, allowing everyone present to feel this special atmosphere and emotion. Although Emperor Jingjiang could not understand the foreign language spoken by the students, he could feel the sincerity and enthusiasm from their expressions and actions. He signaled the motorcade to slow down so that this moment of joy and touching could last longer. He smiled at these enthusiastic students, as if he saw the hope and light of the country's future.
As the motorcade slowly moved forward, the entire welcoming ceremony lasted for a full ten minutes. In these short ten minutes, the students moved the hearts of every guest with their enthusiasm and sincerity. And the Emperor Jingjiang also responded to their enthusiasm and respect with his smile and respect. This short section of road seemed to become a bridge connecting the hearts of the people of the two countries, making the distance between them closer and more friendly.
The sun shines on the bluestone slabs at the school gate, and the golden light sways gently with the breeze, like a golden ocean gently surging. The motorcade of Emperor Jingjiang slowly approaches, and the rhythmic sound of horse hooves on the stone road interweaves with the bells of the palace in the distance into a solemn and melodious movement.
The dust settled on the convoy, and the guards around were ready to face the enemy, holding spears and looking around sharply. However, in this solemn atmosphere, a foreign envoy was like a breath of fresh air. He was dressed in gorgeous foreign clothes, and his clothes swayed gently with his steps, as if carrying the wind from afar. His eyes were as deep as the sea, shining with wisdom and enthusiasm.
He walked quickly towards Emperor Jingjiang, each step was firm and powerful. Seeing this, the guards instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him, but Emperor Jingjiang gently waved his hand, signaling them to withdraw. He quietly stared at the foreign envoy, his eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation.
The foreign envoy walked up to the Emperor Jingjiang and bowed deeply, his back bent into an elegant arc, as if expressing the most sincere respect to the Emperor. He raised his head, his eyes sparkled with sincerity, and said in a loud and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, on behalf of our king and people, I would like to express my highest respect and heartfelt gratitude to you. You are the best monarch we have ever seen, and we admire your wisdom and kindness. Thank you for showing respect and courtesy to us, the guests who have come from afar. We are deeply honored."
The Emperor of Jingjiang was slightly startled. His eyes lingered on the foreign envoy's face for a moment, as if he was trying to find out the sincerity in his words. He showed a hint of surprise, but soon regained his composure. He smiled and nodded, as if he was moved by the words of the foreign envoy.
At this time, other foreign envoys also came forward, their faces filled with sincere and respectful smiles. They expressed their respect and gratitude to the Emperor of Jingjiang, and their voices rose and fell, merging into a sea of joy.
Emperor Jingjiang looked around, his eyes lingering on the faces of each envoy for a moment, as if he was admiring these treasures from different countries. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "You are welcome, envoys. As the Son of Heaven, I regard the affairs of the world as my responsibility. You have come from afar to promote trade, enhance friendship and cultural exchanges. This is the will of heaven and the will of the people. How can I not treat you with courtesy and virtue?"
His voice was loud and powerful, as if it could penetrate the clouds and spread across the world. Every word fell into everyone's heart like a pearl, stirring up ripples. Foreign envoys nodded in agreement, their faces filled with smiles of admiration and gratitude.
At this time, the scenery at the school gate became more beautiful. The sun shone on the golden roof of the palace, reflecting the dazzling light; the green trees and flowers in the campus seemed to show the prosperity of Jingjiang State to these guests from afar.
The Emperor of Jingjiang looked around the crowd and saw Lin Xiaofeng, a young and energetic figure. He smiled and nodded to Lin Xiaofeng. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng was excited. He knew that his father-in-law was not only the Emperor of Jingjiang, but also a wise and intelligent monarch with a broad mind. He secretly gave a thumbs up and was full of praise.
"I have heard that each country overseas has its own unique customs, political and educational systems, academics and arts." Emperor Jingjiang continued, "I also hope to communicate and learn more from you. I believe that this will not only promote friendship and cooperation among countries, but also promote world peace and development."
As soon as he finished speaking, the foreign envoys said in unison: "The emperor is wise!" Their voices were as shocking as spring thunder, full of admiration and gratitude.
Emperor Jingjiang smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
The sun shines through the golden clouds and falls on the glazed tiles of the palace, creating layers of golden light. The atmosphere in the palace is particularly busy because of the upcoming grand event. The palace maids and eunuchs shuttle between the corridors, busy and orderly. However, behind this prosperity, there is an unusual tranquility.
Emperor Jingjiang sat on the dragon throne, his eyes piercing as he scanned the foreign envoys below. They were dressed in gorgeous costumes of various colors, wearing strange hats and crowns, each bringing gifts and respects from their own countries to express their submission to the great monarch. The entire hall was filled with exotic aromas and gorgeous colors, like a gorgeous painting.
Just as the foreign envoys returned to their seats, a young man in a green robe quietly approached Emperor Jingjiang. He had a handsome face and his eyes revealed a deep piety and respect. He was Lin Xiaofeng, the prince's good friend and the emperor's favorite student.
"Your Majesty," Lin Xiaofeng whispered, his voice full of awe and excitement, "I thought of a word to describe today's grand occasion - guests from all over the world are coming to pay their respects. I have read all the history books, but I have never seen such a grand scene. This is enough to prove that Your Majesty is truly destined by heaven and is wise and powerful."
After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang smiled with satisfaction. He nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with cunning and teasing: "This is not what you arranged, right?" He asked in a low voice, as if testing Lin Xiaofeng's true intentions.
Lin Xiaofeng answered confidently: "Even if I have a lot of mouths, I can't arrange so many foreigners to come and pay homage. Their performance today is definitely admiration and submission from the bottom of their hearts." His face was full of confidence and calmness, as if he really believed everything he said.
Emperor Jingjiang was deeply moved by Lin Xiaofeng's words. He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Good, good, good! It seems that I am really lucky today!" He suddenly noticed that there was a mysterious object covered with red cloth in the middle of the gate of Beilang University. He couldn't help but become curious: "What is that?"
Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with mystery and expectation: "Your Majesty, before entering the school, I have a small request. Can you come with me? It's not far away and will be here soon."
Emperor Jingjiang nodded slightly, and with a hint of curiosity and expectation, he followed Lin Xiaofeng to the other side of the gate of Dongda University. They walked through a quiet path, and after walking about fifty meters, they turned a corner and came to an empty corner. Here, there were green trees and the fragrance of flowers, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Lin Xiaofeng stopped and turned to look at Emperor Jingjiang, with a mysterious smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, a familiar figure suddenly walked out from the side. It was a middle-aged man, wearing gorgeous court clothes, with a doting smile on his face. He was Li Dexian.
When Emperor Jingjiang saw Li Dexian, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Why are you here too?" he asked in confusion.
Li Dexian smiled and explained, "Yes."
After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang showed an awkward smile on his face. He turned to look at Lin Xiaofeng and asked, "What is going on?"
Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly and explained: "Your Majesty, actually this is a little surprise planned by the prince and I. We want Your Majesty to see a special gift before entering the school."
On the day when Emperor Jingjiang arrived at Yangqu County, the sky was clear blue, the sun shone on the earth, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. Li Dexian, as the prince's personal guard, stood on the side of the road, his eyes revealing his nervousness and anticipation for the upcoming scene. His figure was upright, and his brocade clothes fluttered slightly in the wind, like an unyielding pine tree.
When the carriage of Emperor Jingjiang slowly approached, Li Dexian could not help but feel an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then walked forward to salute Emperor Jingjiang. Emperor Jingjiang nodded slightly, his eyes like torches, scanning the surrounding scenery.
Li Dexian cleverly dodged and revealed the scene behind him. Emperor Jingjiang looked past him and was suddenly stunned. Not far ahead, a small mound was clearly visible. It was not tall, but it gave people a solemn and sacred feeling. The center of the mound was flat, with a stone tablet on it. The two big characters "foundation" were engraved on the stone tablet. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, as if it contained endless power. The shadows of the shovels surrounded the mound in strange shapes, like a group of loyal guards guarding the land.
Emperor Jingjiang showed a puzzled look on his face. He walked forward and looked at the small mound carefully. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Your Majesty, I have seen that the exchanges between Jingdu and Yangqu County have become increasingly frequent in recent years. If this continues for a long time, the road may be congested. Therefore, I have discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and decided to build a new road to ensure that the county's novelties can be delivered to the palace as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang frowned. He looked around and saw that the road in front of him was wide and flat, with vehicles and pedestrians coming and going. Where was the sign of congestion? He couldn't help but feel a little confused and dissatisfied. He turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, with a hint of questioning in his tone: "What's so good about this? What the hell are you doing?"
Lin Xiaofeng's heart tightened. He knew the character of Emperor Jingjiang very well and knew that he had to be careful at this moment. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I know that the road is wide enough now, but I am worried about the future. The traffic between Jingdu and Yangqu County will only become more and more frequent. If the road is not expanded in time, it will be congested in the future. After discussing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I decided to act in advance to avoid being caught off guard in the future."
After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang showed a thoughtful expression on his face. He raised his head and looked into the distance, as if thinking about something. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel happy, because he knew that his words had touched Emperor Jingjiang. He took the opportunity to continue, "Your Majesty, this is all the filial piety of your minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When this road is completed in the future, it will be announced in the name of Your Majesty. This is a manifestation of Your Majesty's diligence and love for the people. And..." He paused, his voice choked a little, "and my parents are no longer here, and now Your Majesty is the only elder. I hope to do my part to be filial and help Your Majesty solve problems."
Emperor Jingjiang was deeply moved by Lin Xiaofeng's words. The doubts and dissatisfaction in his eyes gradually dissipated, and were replaced by a touch of emotion and appreciation. He re-examined the young man in front of him, and saw that he had a handsome face, firm eyes, and an indomitable spirit. Emperor Jingjiang couldn't help but feel respect in his heart, and he sighed: "What is filial piety? It turns out that this child's parents are gone, and they have placed all their feelings on me. I am so lucky to have such a good son-in-law! Better than a son!"
As he spoke, Emperor Jingjiang glanced at Li Dexian who was standing there in a daze, and snorted coldly. Li Dexian shuddered at the look of Emperor Jingjiang, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied and jealous in his heart. But he didn't dare to show it, so he could only stand aside silently and watch Emperor Jingjiang and Lin Xiaofeng talk.
Emperor Jingjiang finally gave in: "Okay, you can repair it if you want. But keep it simple and don't make it too luxurious." His eyes moved between Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian, and finally fixed on Lin Xiaofeng's face, "I appreciate your filial piety."
Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with determination. He took the shovel handed over by Emperor Jingjiang, and then handed it to Emperor Jingjiang respectfully: "Please shovel a shovel of soil into the pit as a ceremony to start construction."
Emperor Jingjiang nodded, took the shovel, and shoveled a shovel of soil into the pit. This simple ceremony symbolized the start of the new road and also symbolized that Lin Xiaofeng and the prince's filial piety had been responded to. The crowd around burst into warm applause and cheers, as if cheering for this important moment.
Emperor Jingjiang waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He turned around and said to Lin Xiaofeng, "Okay, go back, don't keep others waiting too long." Then he turned and walked towards the palace. Crown Prince Li Dexian followed closely behind, while Lin Xiaofeng stayed where he was and watched them leave.
On the way back, Emperor Jingjiang and Li Dexian walked side by side. Emperor Jingjiang showed a satisfied smile on his face and said to Li Dexian: "Xiaofeng is a good kid, brave, resourceful, and filial. You should learn from him."
After hearing this, Li Dexian was dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not dare to show it. He could only nod and then carefully observe the expression of Emperor Jingjiang. Emperor Jingjiang did not seem to notice his change of mood. He continued: "We in Jingjiang need more young people like Lin Xiaofeng, who have foresight, courage, and a heart to speak up for the people. As the crown prince, you should set an example and do more practical things for the country and the people."
Li Dexian listened to the teachings of Emperor Jingjiang, and although he was unwilling, he also knew that this was his father's expectation. He secretly made up his mind to work hard to learn from Lin Xiaofeng, no longer just be satisfied with his status as a prince, but to become a truly accomplished monarch.
As they walked, the Emperor of Jingjiang suddenly stopped and looked into the distance. There was a vast field, with the sun shining on it and the waves sparkling. The Emperor of Jingjiang took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale the breath of the earth into his lungs. He turned his head and said to Li Dexian: "Do you know? This land is the foundation of our Jingjiang country and the hope of our descendants. We must protect it and let this land prosper forever."
Li Dexian was deeply moved by the words of Emperor Jingjiang. He looked at his father's determined eyes and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He nodded and said solemnly: "Father, rest assured, I will remember your teachings and work hard to protect this land and make it prosperous forever."
After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang nodded with satisfaction. He continued to walk forward, and Li Dexian followed closely behind him. The shadows of the two stretched very long in the sun, as if they were going to extend to the end of this land.
At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was still standing beside the small mound, watching the departure of Emperor Jingjiang and Li Dexian. His eyes were shining with expectation and determination, as if he had seen the prosperous scene after the new road was built. He took a deep breath, then turned around and started to get busy. He knew that the construction of this road would be a huge project, but he was ready to devote all his efforts to this project.
The sun shone on him, reflecting his resolute back. Seeing how devoted he was, the workers around him also sped up their work. The entire construction site was a busy and orderly scene. Lin Xiaofeng knew that the construction of this road was not only to ease traffic congestion, but also for the future of Jingjiang State and the happiness of the people. He wanted to use his actions to prove his determination and belief.
As time went by, the new road gradually took shape. It was wide and flat, like a giant dragon winding across the land. And Lin Xiaofeng grew from an ordinary official to a highly respected figure. He won people's admiration and respect with his practical actions.
Under the golden afterglow of Jingjiang State, Lin Xiaofeng, the engineer known for his tenacity and wisdom, stood side by side with the crown prince Li Dexian and began their common journey. Lin Xiaofeng, tall, had an unyielding determination between his eyebrows. Although his hands were covered with traces of time, they were still flexible and powerful, as if they could grasp the veins of the whole world. And the crown prince Li Dexian, although he used to be willful and unruly, at this moment, his eyes flashed with unprecedented firmness and determination, as if he had washed away the past glitz, leaving only a deep love for the country and the people.
They first walked through every inch of land where the new road was to be paved, measuring, recording, and planning, and every step seemed so serious and rigorous. They shuttled through the fields, talked with farmers, and learned about the topography, soil, and climate. Every detail was related to the success or failure of the project. Their figures looked so tall in the sun, like two towering mountains, standing in people's hearts.
The Emperor of Jingjiang, the wise and intelligent monarch, often came in person to inquire about the progress of the project. He stood on the high platform, looking into the distance, his eyes flashing with expectation and confidence for the future. He highly praised and affirmed the work of Lin Xiaofeng and Crown Prince Li Dexian, and his words were full of love for the country and care for the people. Every time he came, he gave Lin Xiaofeng and Crown Prince Li Dexian great encouragement and motivation.
Finally, on a sunny day, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new road was officially held. All the ministers and foreign envoys gathered together to witness this historic moment. The square in front of the palace was full of colorful flags, drums and music, and a joyous scene. Emperor Jingjiang stood on the rostrum and delivered an enthusiastic speech. His voice was loud and powerful, and every word was full of expectations and confidence for the future. His words were full of admiration and gratitude for Lin Xiaofeng and Crown Prince Li Dexian. He said: "It is you who have paved a road to prosperity for our country with wisdom and sweat!"
After the ceremony, the crowd gradually dispersed. Lin Xiaofeng and Prince Li Dexian stood on the newly built roadbed and looked at the distant skyline. Their faces were filled with satisfaction and pride, because they knew that this road was not only a road connecting Kyoto and Yangqu County, but also a symbol of their filial piety and determination. In the days to come, they will work hand in hand and work hard together for the completion of this road.
Days passed by in a busy and expectant mood, and the construction of the new road progressed smoothly. Lin Xiaofeng personally visited the construction site every day to check the progress and quality of the project. He strictly required that every process must meet the standards and did not allow any carelessness or slackness. His seriousness and rigor infected everyone, and everyone took him as an example and worked together to build the road.
Prince Li Dexian also devoted himself to the construction. He was no longer the willful and unruly prince, but a true leader and role model. He personally went to the construction site to work with the workers and encouraged them to persevere. His figure on the construction site looked so tall and firm, like an unshakable mountain, bringing endless strength and confidence to the people.
Whenever Emperor Jingjiang asked about the progress of the project, Lin Xiaofeng always gave a satisfactory answer. He reported in detail the progress, quality, difficulties and challenges of the project. His answer was full of love and confidence in the project, which made Emperor Jingjiang feel very pleased and satisfied.
Finally, on a sunny morning, the new road was officially opened to traffic. Emperor Jingjiang personally cut the ribbon for the road and named it "Filial Son Road". Standing on the newly built road, he looked at the rolling hills and vast fields in the distance, and his heart was filled with emotion and pride. He knew that this road was not just a road, but also a bond that connected people's hearts and passed on filial piety. It will always be remembered in people's hearts and become the pride and symbol of the country.
The crowd burst into warm applause and cheers, cheering for this historic moment. Lin Xiaofeng and Prince Li Dexian stood in the crowd and smiled at each other. Their faces were filled with satisfaction and pride, because they knew that this road was not only a testimony to their filial piety, but also the result of their joint efforts. In the days to come, this road will become a bond that connects people's hearts and inherits filial piety, and will be remembered forever in people's hearts.
On both sides of the road, flowers are in full bloom and trees are shady. The breeze brings fresh air and the fragrance of flowers. People come to this road to walk, sightsee, and communicate. They sigh at the beauty and magnificence of this road, and are grateful for the hard work and selfless dedication of Lin Xiaofeng and Prince Li Dexian. They know that this road is not just a road, but also a bridge and bond connecting their hearts.
Years go by like a song, and time flies. However, "Filial Son Road" will always be remembered in people's hearts, becoming the pride and symbol of the country. The names of Lin Xiaofeng and Prince Li Dexian will also be forever engraved in the long river of history, becoming legends and role models in people's hearts.
At the gate of North Corridor University, a spectacular fountain stands quietly. Its name has long been known on campus as "Flying Fountain and Flowing Pearls". Whenever the morning sun or evening afterglow falls on it, the Kirin statue seems to be given life, and the water from its mouth falls like pearls, shining brightly, becoming a rare and beautiful landscape on campus.
The unicorn in the fountain is lifelike, as if ready to jump out of the stone and run towards the vast world. Its eyes are bright and sharp, as if it can see into people's hearts, and its slightly upturned mouth corners seem to have a mysterious and profound smile. Each scale on the unicorn's body is exquisitely carved, as if shining with a unique light in the sun. And the water column gushes out of the unicorn's mouth, like a thread, drawing graceful arcs in the air, and finally turning into drops of water, gently falling on the ground, making a pleasant sound.
At this moment, it was a summer afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on the water droplets of the fountain, forming small rainbows, like a dream. However, under this beautiful scenery, people's mood was somewhat inconsistent with this quiet afternoon. They gathered around the fountain, with disappointment and unwillingness on their faces. They had hoped to solve the mysterious phenomenon of the unicorn spitting water, but now, this mystery seems to remain unsolved.
Among the crowd, one figure was particularly eye-catching. He was Lin Xiaofeng, a young man who had caused a sensation on campus. His eyes also fell on the gushing water column, but there was not much surprise in his eyes, but more of a complex emotion. He recalled the days of fighting for this road, and his heart was full of emotion. At that time, he was young and full of blood, and together with the crown prince Li Dexian, he worked day and night to complete this feat. Now, everything has settled down, the new road has been built, and "Flying Spring Beads" has become one of the symbols of North Corridor University. And he also gained growth and friendship in this experience and became a better self.
However, Lin Xiaofeng was not too happy at the moment. He knew that although the mystery of the fountain had not yet been solved, people had begun to accept this fact and regarded it as a mysterious natural phenomenon. As a person who had once participated in it, he still felt a little unwilling. He was eager to uncover this mystery and let more people know the story behind this fountain.
Emperor Jingjiang, the supreme emperor, was also standing in the crowd at this moment. His eyes were deep and confused, as if he was also thinking about this mystery. He looked at the unicorn that was still spitting water, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that this fountain was not only a work of art, but also a symbol of prosperity under his rule. However, he also knew that this mystery was still an unsolvable mystery for people.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Emperor Jingjiang slowly raised his hand and motioned for everyone to follow him into the gate of Beilang University. People walked around the fountain again and again, reluctantly glancing at the unicorn that was still spewing water. They knew that this fountain had become a memory in their hearts, a memory that could not be erased.
Entering the school gate, people's moods began to become complicated. There was both anticipation for the unknown and regret for the unsolved mystery. However, no matter what they felt in their hearts, they had already taken this step and entered this campus full of opportunities and challenges.
Lin Xiaofeng also followed the crowd into the campus. His heart was filled with emotion and reluctance. He knew that this fountain would always be a memory in his heart, a memory that he could never forget. But he also knew that he had gone through those days full of struggle and challenges and became a better person. He would continue on the road of life with this memory and growth.
On this summer afternoon, the "Feiquan Rolling Beads" still stands quietly at the gate of North Corridor University. It has witnessed the growth and changes of countless people, and also witnessed the prosperity and development of this campus. And Lin Xiaofeng will also carry this memory and growth, continue to move forward on the road of life, and become a stronger, braver and wiser person.
The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the gate of North Corridor University. The golden light and the ancient stone steps complement each other, adding a bit of solemnity and mystery to this historic university. Li Dexian walks by quickly. Although his steps are fast, each step seems steady and powerful, as if each step is measuring his admiration and expectation for his old friend.
His eyes passed through the crowd and fell accurately on a figure - Lin Xiaofeng. He was an old man of medium build and gaunt face. His eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world. Li Dexian approached, his eyes full of admiration for this old friend. He looked at the fountain, and saw that under the sunlight, the water droplets of the fountain were as crystal clear as pearls. With the roar of the steam engine, the water column rushed straight into the sky, and then slowly fell down, splashing layers of water, which was beautiful.
Li Dexian couldn't help but sigh: "Lao Lin, you are really a genius. Who would have thought of using a steam engine to drive a fountain? The design of this fountain is simply ingenious and breathtaking." He paused and continued: "It's just that... this fountain can only bring visual enjoyment to people, and it doesn't seem to have any other practical uses. You specially modified the steam engine, isn't it a bit of a waste?"
After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, with a bit of complacency and determination in his smile. He shook his head slightly and said, "Who said this fountain is useless? In the future, when North Corridor University recruits new students, we can start the fountain to celebrate. That scene must be very spectacular. Moreover, this fountain is not only to celebrate the admission of new students, but also to pass on the spirit of our North Corridor University - continuous innovation and pursuit of excellence. Isn't this its use?"
After hearing this, Li Dexian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He recalled every detail of his acquaintance with Lin Xiaofeng, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that this old friend could always bring surprises and changes to the world with his unique vision and wisdom. He nodded and said, "You are right, this fountain does have extraordinary significance. My previous thoughts were too narrow."
The two smiled at each other, as if all the misunderstandings and barriers had disappeared at this moment. They walked into the gate of North Corridor University side by side, as if they had entered a whole new world. Not far away, a huge memorial archway came into view. The memorial archway stood tall and majestic, with the words "Jingjiang Games" engraved on it. The words were vigorous and powerful, as if telling the long history and brilliant achievements of North Corridor University.
There were two old wooden doors under the archway, and two students in Beilang University uniforms stood beside the doors. They were tall, handsome, and had firm and passionate eyes. They stood straight, like two tall pine trees, guarding this ancient institution. Seeing the arrival of Emperor Jingjiang and others, they immediately performed a standard etiquette and gently pushed open the door.
The scene behind the door was eye-opening! It was a bustling market, with all kinds of stalls on both sides of the road. The stalls were filled with popular goods and snacks in Jingjiang, which were dazzling and dazzling. The stall owners enthusiastically solicited customers with sincere smiles on their faces. Their voices rose and fell, forming a wonderful symphony.
Lin Xiaofeng stood at the door and said loudly: "Everyone can stay here for a while, taste Jingjiang's food and appreciate Jingjiang's craftsmanship. Gather and enter when the time is up." His voice was loud and powerful, penetrating the entire market, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.
Seeing the lively scene behind the gate, the ministers and foreign envoys were all excited. They showed long-lost smiles on their faces, as if they were infected by the liveliness and joy here. Emperor Jingjiang also showed a satisfied smile. He looked around and exclaimed: "So people are gathering here! This is really a vibrant place."
The stall owners greeted the "guests" when they saw them coming. They enthusiastically introduced their products and craftsmanship with sincere smiles on their faces. The foreign envoys found it very fresh and interesting. They walked to the nearest stall and curiously picked up the products to study them carefully.
A stall owner selling calligraphy and paintings picked up a landscape painting and showed it to the foreign envoys. The landscape in the painting was in harmony with the clouds and mist, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland. The foreign envoys were amazed and took out money to buy this exquisite calligraphy and painting. Seeing this, the stall owner smiled even more brilliantly.
Another snack vendor brought a plate of hot Jingjiang rice dumplings. The rice dumplings were fragrant and mouth-watering. The foreign envoys couldn't wait to pick one up and taste it, with satisfied smiles on their faces. They all said that this was one of the most delicious rice dumplings they had ever eaten.
In this lively market, everyone was immersed in joy and happiness. They tasted delicious food, appreciated calligraphy and paintings, and exchanged culture. This market not only made them feel the enthusiasm and vitality of Jingjiang, but also made them deeply appreciate the profoundness and long history of Chinese culture.
All of this is inseparable from Lin Xiaofeng's careful planning and arrangement. He used his wisdom and talent to make this market so lively and interesting. He used his actions to interpret what true innovation and excellence are. On this energetic and joyful day, everyone was proud and honored to be able to come to Beilang University to participate in the Jingjiang Games.
In this bustling market full of laughter and joy, Emperor Jingjiang stood alone in a slightly secluded corner, his brows slightly furrowed, like a layer of ripples on the surface of an autumn lake. His eyes were deep, as if they could penetrate this noisy world and look directly into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
Emperor Jingjiang, the supreme ruler of the Celestial Empire, was dressed in civilian clothes today, with fluttering sleeves and extraordinary temperament. His face was firm and his features were three-dimensional, like a carefully carved jade, and every line revealed endless majesty and solemnity. However, at this moment, he seemed a little uncomfortable, as if the prosperity of this world was incompatible with him.
He turned his head and his eyes fell on Lin Xiaofeng beside him. Lin Xiaofeng, the young official, was tall and slender, with a handsome face and a pair of bright eyes that sparkled with wisdom. He was dressed in official uniform and stood beside Emperor Jingjiang, looking particularly respectful yet calm.
Emperor Jingjiang coughed lightly, breaking the silence around him: "Xiaofeng, do you still need to spend money to buy these things?" His voice was low and powerful, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.
Lin Xiaofeng was slightly stunned, and then he understood what the Emperor of Jingjiang meant. He thought to himself: "How novel! How can you buy things without spending money?" But he quickly calmed down, knowing that as a minister, he must always consider the monarch. He replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, these merchants are carefully selected by me from the public. On the one hand, it is to vigorously promote our Jingjiang products and culture to outsiders so as to promote business in the future; on the other hand, it is also for your consideration..."
Emperor Jingjiang nodded slightly to show that he was listening. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng continued to explain: "Your Majesty, think about it, as the Son of Heaven, you can buy things with your own money while having fun with the people. How close to the people this is in the eyes of outsiders! Others will definitely praise you for loving the people like your own children, treating all people equally, and being the pillar of our Jingjiang's laws and regulations!"
Lin Xiaofeng's voice was as pleasant as the sound of flowing water, and every word was full of passion and appeal. His words were full of respect and loyalty to Emperor Jingjiang, as if he wanted to dedicate all his wisdom and strength to this great monarch. (End of this chapter)
