"What…what is this?"
As soon as the steamer was opened, Yan Wenxi stood up and pointed at the steamer, his face full of disbelief.
Not only him, but the other officials were also shocked, but their reactions were not as great as Yan Wenxi's.
Li Chengqian glanced at Yan Wenxi indifferently, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Sensing Li Chengqian's gaze, Yan Wenxi was also shocked. He looked at his other colleagues and quickly sat down, not daring to say anything else.
"Give some to each lord!”
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he took out the long sword from the novice gift bag and threw it far away. It actually stabbed firmly into the table.
Although it had been dead for a long time and had been steamed, it was still a demon at the peak of the dacheng realm. The standard long knives used by the guards might not be able to do anything to it.
"Yes, sir!"
The guard pulled out his sword and looked at the huge crab in front of him. He could not help but be secretly shocked.
Although they had eaten the shrimp and crab soldiers in the Dragon Palace yesterday, they were obviously not on the same level as this one!
Soon, fragrant crab meat was placed in front of each official.
Even so, the cut crab meat only took up a small portion of the crab general's body.
"Your Highness!"
Seeing a plate of crab meat placed in front of him, Yan Wenxi finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He stood up again, bowed, and asked,
"Forgive me for being blunt, but is this…is this crab from the Han River?”
Li Chengqian looked at Yan Wenxi with a half-smile." That's right, this is the water race in the Han River. To be precise, this is the crab general in the Han River Dragon Palace!”
"What is it? This…"
"Your Highness actually captured the crab general of the Han River Dragon Palace and ate him?”
"This is the crab general of the Dragon Palace. Why do I feel that it's no different from ordinary crabs except that it's a little bigger?”
When Li Chengqian said this, the officials immediately exploded.
After seeing such a huge crab, they had some guesses.
"Your Highness!"
After a moment of silence, Yan Wenxi suddenly ran out like a madman. The fat all over his body trembled as he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly in Li Chengqian's direction.
" Your Highness, are you stupid? The Water Tribe in the Han River is protected by the Han River Dragon King, not to mention the Crab Generals of the Dragon Palace. Your Highness's actions might anger the Han River Dragon King and invite revenge. Your Highness might be able to leave, but what about the millions of people around the Han River?”
For a moment, all the noise in the surroundings stopped. The scene was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground.
The officials of Xuanzhou looked at Yan Wenxi kneeling on the ground as if they didn't recognize him.
Did he know that once these words spread out, it would be like putting the Crown Prince on the stove and roasting him!
The current Emperor was wise and mighty. If this matter blew up, there might even be a lot of waves in the position of Crown Prince!
At the thought of this, many people felt that their clothes were soaked. They hated themselves for being blind. Why would they attend this banquet? They might as well go home and eat steamed buns!
"I wouldn't dare!" Yan Wenxi kowtowed to the ground and said in a sorrowful tone,
"Your Highness, as the Crown Prince, I didn't dare to say much. But today, if I don't say anything, how will the millions of people around the Han River live? Although Your Highness is the Crown Prince of a country, for the sake of the people of the world, I have to say that I have no regrets even if I die!”
"No regrets in death?"
Li Chengqian repeated this sentence and suddenly found it a little funny."What a good one. But I want to know, who are you going to die without regrets for? Was it for the people of the world? Or my Great Tang? Or perhaps…it was for the Han River?”
"Why do you say that, Your Highness?" Yan Wenxi felt as if his heart had stopped beating for a moment. He buried his head deep into his chest and did not dare to speak anymore.
"You want to give an explanation to the people around the Han River? Alright, then this king will ask you!"
He did stop, but Li Chengqian did not want to stop!
"It has been more than half a year since the Han River flood. The Ministry of Revenue has allocated tens of millions of strings of money to various places to clean up the river, but what is the result?”
"The flood is still there, and the people are homeless. They have no choice but to move their families to other places and suffer. So far, there are almost no villages within five kilometers of the Han River.”
"You don't dare to speak? This king has only been in Xuanzhou for two days, but I know that the flood this time is not a natural disaster, but a rebellion by the Han River Dragon King! It has been half a year. Don't tell me that you and all of you, the officials of Xuanzhou, don't know?”At the end of his sentence, Li Chengqian glared at everyone and asked sternly.
