It can be said that Yang Buwei and Wang Gensheng did their best for Ningdu City.
The people on both sides learned of the current situation, and the relaxed atmosphere slowly dispersed.
They are different now!
A sixth-grade blacksmith, a sixth-grade alchemist, this kind of background would be the envy of any force.
With the help of Wang Gensheng and Yang Buwei, who is Xiang Shaojie?
Come one and fight one, come two and fight one!
That night, Yang Buwei looked at the brand new Ningdu City and took Wang Gensheng to the rooftop to drink.
"Gensheng, have you seen the fruits of our labor? If that Xiang Shaojie dares to come, we will make him never come back!"
Wang Gensheng smiled perfunctorily.
In my mind, I am not so clear about the future situation.
Instead of being wary of opponents, Yang Buwei and Wang Gensheng, who were busy building fortifications, had been living for a long time. This kind of life, which was like commuting to and from get off work on time every day, seemed particularly leisurely.
Even looking at the workload that is getting closer and closer to the goal, I feel more at ease and feel like I am living a peaceful life.
One day, Head Ning found Wang Gensheng who was refining elixirs.
Just as he arrived at the door of the alchemy room, he saw Yun Qi emerging from the alchemy furnace. He couldn't help feeling that Wang Gensheng's alchemy skills were becoming more and more powerful.
Wang Gensheng noticed someone was coming, so he looked towards the door. When he saw it was Head Ning, he stopped what he was doing and walked forward.
"Master Ning."
Head Ning smiled and returned the gift.
"Brother Wang's alchemy skills make me more and more impressed by him!"
Wang Gensheng didn't take these words to heart. Maybe he knew they were polite words, or maybe he didn't care about the compliments from others.
"Headmaster Ning has been rewarded. He has made many elixirs. He should be so handy."
"I wonder why Master Ning came to see me?"
Don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, Wang Gensheng knows this truth very well.
Especially for a busy man like Head Ning, who has so many things on his hands, it is impossible for him to come and chat with him casually.
I just don’t know what else is important besides preparing for defense right now.
"Hahaha."
Head Ning smiled and said: "It's not that important, it's just that the traditional festival of Ningdu City, the Zhengrong Festival, is coming."
"Everyone in the city has been busy with defense work these days, and Brother Wang, you and Brother Yang Buwei haven't had any rest either."
"I want to take advantage of this festival to let the people in the city relax. How about you also experience the festival atmosphere in Ningdu City?"
Wang Gensheng thought for a moment.
For so many days, many households in Ningdu City have been busy strengthening fortifications. Although people are not panicking, there is little relaxation and reunion.
Over time, these people will inevitably become exhausted at work, so it would be a good thing to take this opportunity to give them a holiday.
So he nodded.
"I think this is feasible."
Head Ning was stunned for a moment, then softened his expression: "That's good. Originally I thought I was too relaxed and was afraid of Brother Wang's ridicule, but now I feel confident."
"Head Ning is in serious trouble. Although the city defense work cannot be slacked off, these brothers are also ordinary people. It is a good thing to take this opportunity to take a rest."
Head Ning nodded and told Wang Gensheng to take Yang Buwei to have a good time during the festival and then leave.
Soon, Wang Gensheng found Yang Buwei who was busy directing the construction.
"What, Zhengrongjie?"
Yang Buwei was a little stunned. He thought Xiang Shaojie might come and kill him at any time. Now that he was busy strengthening the defenses all day long, he didn't know if he would be able to do so in time.
So, what else is there to celebrate?
Wang Gensheng naturally knew what Yang Buwei was worried about, so he explained: "This man is like a city wall. No matter how strong the city wall is, if it is not repaired regularly, it will be damaged if it is attacked all day long."
"Proper rest is mending for man."
Yang Buwei always felt that there was something wrong with this metaphor, but he couldn't explain why, so he agreed to the matter after Wang Gensheng's explanation.
After that, the news of a day off for Zhengrong Festival was spread.
On the day of the Zhengrong Festival, Ningdu City was not as busy as in the past, and there were many stalls and programs.
The city is full of laughter and joy.
Wang Gensheng and Yang Buwei were walking in the city, chatting while walking. It was a rare day of peace and quiet, which actually made them both feel a little emotional.
It seems that in the past, I lived for the righteousness and helplessness in my heart, but today I live for myself.
Yang Buwei joked: "Today is not exactly a day off."
The two laughed.
During the Zhengrong Festival, the lights are brightly lit until dawn the next day, and at night there is a scene like the Lantern Festival.
The two of them walked to a stage, where people were talking about the origin of the Zhengrong Festival.
"I think back then, the battle between our ancestors and the ancestors of the barbarians was like a bloody battle. There were countless casualties on both sides, but both sides still showed no weakness."
"The barbarians are ferocious by nature, and they are all invincible."
"Although I, the people of Ningducheng, are not as strong as them, our ancestors were smart and successfully defeated the barbarians by relying on precise cooperation."
"This prevented Ningdu City from being occupied by barbarians."
"Since then, there has been a grand festival celebrated every year in Ningdu City."
Wang Gensheng only knew that the Zhengrong Festival was to commemorate a victory in a battle, but he did not expect that the battle was against barbarians.
Now that the barbarians are on good terms with Ningdu City, it will become a bigger problem if this complex issue is not handled well in the future.
"But now that the barbarians have become our friends, what do you think our ancestors would think if they knew about it?"
An audience member in the audience cheered and asked.
What comes to mind really comes to mind.
Nowadays, Ningdu City is promoting good relations with the barbarians, and both sides have given up their past grudges and exchange their needs.
It's not good for anyone to bring up old things again. Although this festival is not friendly to the barbarians, this traditional festival cannot be neglected because of this.
The storyteller on the stage probably expected that someone would boo him, so he explained.
"Brother, that's a good question. Who wouldn't want to live happily at home, hold his wife and children, and sleep in his arms?"
"But the barbarians can't do that. They live a hard life and have to find a way to survive. Now they are better."
"Headmaster Ning is famous and deeply sympathizes with him. This will make it easier for the barbarians to make friends. If the barbarians can survive, they will not attack Ningdu City again."
"So, if our ancestors knew about it, they would definitely be pleased that Master Ning's wise move has brought us peace."
Hearing this, not only the surrounding audience applauded, but even Wang Gensheng couldn't help but applaud.
The two sides have been enemies for several generations, but now they can coexist peacefully. The biggest fear is that ordinary people have grudges in their hearts.
Now it seems that the people of Ningdu City can understand the difficulties of the barbarians, and thus have greatly avoided conflicts caused by long-term estrangement.
But these can never be the spontaneous actions of the people. Fundamentally speaking, it is the master Ning's methods.
As for the barbarians, it is better to say that Ningdu City can take the initiative to communicate with them, which is a great good thing for them.
As for the Zhengrong Festival, you will get used to it sooner or later.
