Chapter 129 Asking for help
After successfully calming down and initially settling the refugees, Daya, Mei Yanyan, Senior Hong, and Xiaoyue did not slack off in the slightest.
To ensure that refugees receive more lasting and stable assistance.
They must continue their journey, seeking a stronger support system to secure more benefits and protections for the refugees.
At the same time, Daya and Xiaoyue were also worried about the people of Sujia Village, those fellow villagers with whom they had deep feelings. They also needed to find and confirm their safety.
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist and gently shone upon the makeshift camp, the four were already fully prepared to set off.
After a quick breakfast, they set off on their journey to Phantom City.
Although a journey of hundreds of miles may be a considerable challenge for ordinary people.
But for these heroes who possess extraordinary skills and have the world in their hearts, it's only a matter of time.
Along the way, they traversed lush forests, where the trees stood tall and dense, as if nature had provided them with a sanctuary.
They crossed a babbling brook, its waters crystal clear, like a silver ribbon winding its way through the green hills.
Unfortunately, even such beautiful scenery cannot mask the cruelty brought about by war.
They witnessed countless villages and farmlands abandoned due to war.
Those once prosperous villages are now nothing but ruins and barren land, with people displaced and living in poverty.
These sights made the three girls, Daya, Meiyanyan, and Xiaoyue, extremely sad.
They couldn't help but lament how their once peaceful lives had suddenly become so shattered.
Finally, as the sun was setting, they arrived at the city gate of Phantom Spirit City.
This city is renowned for its towering, magnificent city walls and bustling, vibrant markets, attracting travelers and merchants from all directions.
The city walls soar into the clouds, their bricks and stones revealing the vicissitudes and resilience of history, resembling an indestructible barrier.
They protect the people in the city day and night, giving them peace and shelter.
The market was bustling with people and filled with a wide variety of goods.
From exquisite porcelain to rugged ironware, from vibrant silks to fresh fruits and vegetables, there is something for everyone, a feast for the eyes.
The shouts of vendors and the haggling of customers intertwined, creating a vivid symphony of life.
In the eyes of the four of them—Da Ya, Xiao Yue, Hong Pijing, and Mei Yanyan—…
This city is also a place that can bring them hope and strength.
They walked through the bustling crowds and across the ancient streets, finally arriving at the majestic gates of the Illusionary Spirit Mansion.
They stopped and straightened their clothes, which were slightly disheveled from the long journey.
He took a deep breath, preparing to meet with the officials in the mansion.
As the representative of the four, Daya took the lead and walked towards the guard at the door.
With a smile on her face and a sincere yet firm tone, she explained their purpose to the guards.
"Sir, we are..."
To everyone's surprise, the guards' eyes flashed with astonishment when they saw Daya and Xiaoyue.
He then interrupted her, saying, "Miss Daya, Miss Xiaoyue, why are you only just getting back?"
The Spirit King and his men went to the border to provide support half a month ago.
Da Ya was taken aback by his words and asked uncertainly, "Does this gentleman know us?"
The guard smiled and nodded: "What are you saying, Miss Daya?"
King Ling personally received you and praised your abilities and kindness. Now that you've returned, young lady, please come inside.
The group followed the guards through a series of imposing gates and entered the interior of the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
Da Ya pondered to herself, now that the Spirit King had gone to the border, would their plan to seek assistance change?
But she quickly calmed herself down and decided to report the situation to the officials in the mansion first.
She asked the guard, "Brother, we have come to Illusionary Spirit City to meet with officials of the Illusionary Spirit Prefecture. There is an important matter concerning the people that we need to report."
The guards dared not delay and quickly said, "Yes, Miss Daya, please wait a moment, I will go and inform them right away."
A short while later, an official dressed in a magnificent official robe, with a tall and imposing figure and a dignified face hurried over.
He was followed by several attendants, who looked menacing.
But when he saw Daya and the others, a kind smile appeared on his face.
"I heard you have important matters to discuss. May I ask if you may inform me?"
Daya stepped forward again and bowed respectfully.
She then recounted in detail how they discovered the refugees fleeing the famine, how they resettled the refugees, and how they came to seek official assistance.
Her voice was clear and powerful, and every word conveyed her deep concern for the refugees and her firm belief in the future.
Her words were like a warm current, warming the hearts of everyone present.
After listening to Daya's account, the official's expression became serious.
He was well aware of the suffering and helplessness of the people under war, and he also understood the responsibility and mission that the government, as the people's support, should shoulder.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I deeply admire your deeds. Rest assured, the Illusionary Spirit Palace will fully support your good deeds."
I will immediately order the dispatch of personnel and supplies to your refugee resettlement area.
Ensure they receive proper accommodation and care.
Upon hearing this, Daya felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she gave the official a grateful look.
Then he said, "Thank you, sir! Although we four are of meager strength, we are willing to do our best to do more practical things for the people."
"I hope that under the guidance of the adults, Phantom City can become a safe haven for the people."
The official smiled and nodded: "I understand your intentions."
"Rest assured, as an official of the Ling Kingdom, I will work together to protect every life on this land."
Subsequently, officials personally dispatched a team of soldiers to the refugees' location and pledged to continue monitoring and supporting their resettlement efforts.
The official looked sincerely at Daya and the other three, and then said, "You have all had a long and tiring journey."
It's almost lunchtime, so why don't we have a meal together at the mansion?
"Let me also tell you about what King Ling did after returning before you, and the current state of war."
Da Ya and the others were still young and didn't understand what it meant to discuss matters of national importance.
But Hong Pijing was different. When he heard the official say that, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickly clasped his hands in a salute.
"My lord, this is probably not appropriate. How can ordinary people like us know about matters of state?"
The official laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "It might be difficult to say this to others, but it's a big deal for Miss Daya and Miss Xiaoyue."
They are not only brave and kind, but also care deeply about the people. They are role models worthy of our respect and emulation.
"You have all done so much for the people; a meal is all it takes. Besides, you were personally received by King Ling; please don't refuse."
Da Ya said helplessly, "Since you are so kind as to extend this invitation, then we will respectfully accept your invitation."
The official smiled and led them to the dining hall. The dining hall was elegantly and warmly decorated, with a sumptuous spread of dishes on the table.
After everyone was seated, the officials told the four of them to make themselves at home.
During the meal, officials introduced them to the specialties and history of the city of Phantom Spirit, and let them taste delicacies such as braised fish.
Mei Yanyan smiled and nodded, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction.
She exclaimed, "This dish is absolutely delicious and leaves a lasting impression."
"Thank you so much for your hospitality today, sir. I am deeply grateful."
She bowed slightly to express her heartfelt gratitude.
The official smiled and looked at the three girls, including Daya, with gentle eyes.
He couldn't help but feel moved and slowly said, "Seeing you young and promising people, who not only have the well-being of the world in their hearts."
I am deeply gratified that they are wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the people.
His words were full of praise and expectations for young people.
Hearing the official's praise, Daya smiled modestly and quickly responded.
"You flatter us, sir. It is a great honor for us to have your recognition and support. All we have done is to the best of our ability."
I only hope that those refugees who have suffered so much can escape their plight soon and be able to live a peaceful life.
Her tone was sincere and firm, revealing her deep concern for the suffering of the people.
The official nodded solemnly and said with certainty, "This is an indisputable and inevitable matter."
As long as we unite as one, work together tirelessly, and strive tirelessly, we will surely realize the beautiful vision of enabling people to live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy a happy and fulfilling life.
His words were like a shot in the arm, greatly encouraging everyone present.
At this point, everyone nodded in agreement, indicating their agreement and support for what the official said.
A harmonious and warm atmosphere permeated the entire dining hall, where everyone sat together, sharing the same goal—to create a better tomorrow for the people.
