After listening to Governor Guangyuan's long-winded explanation, Zhao Feiyue patiently listened to him and finally understood.
After the explosion that night, almost no one believed that Li Chengfeng could survive such a terrifying explosion. Even a golden body cultivator with the protection of a golden body would not be able to survive such an explosion.
In reality, after a night of searching, there was no sign of Li Chengfeng's body or any clues. Everyone silently agreed that Li Chengfeng had disappeared and died in battle.
The next morning, memorials requesting for Li Yundong's merits and asking for forgiveness were sent to the Divine Capital at the first possible moment. They were presented to the Emperor and the Crown Prince respectively.
After all, Li Chengfeng was someone that the Crown Prince had personally asked Long Tenghai to take care of. In the end, he actually died in battle!
Long Tenghai was very aggrieved and carefully worded his words. What else could he do?
He had already arranged for the grain convoy to die in battle?!
However, it was also thanks to Li Chengfeng's timely discovery of the traitor's movements and the timely interruption of the traitor's signal to the flying warship in the sky. Otherwise, Guang Yuan City's headquarters would have been obliterated in the first wave of bombardment.
If Long Tenghai, Zhan Qisheng, and the other core generals were killed in the air, the entire Southeast battlefield would collapse instantly. The domino effect would be unimaginable.
Therefore, in a sense, Li Chengfeng had saved the Southeast battlefield, or even the entire Daqi Kingdom!
Not to mention, Li Chengfeng had destroyed the flying warship in a suicidal manner, destroying the core trump card of the Puppet Kingdom!
To boost morale, Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan promoted Li Chengfeng as a hero. Not only did they praise him in their memorials, they also announced Guangyuan's victory and Li Chengfeng's heroic deeds to the entire army.
Under normal circumstances, if such an outsider stole everyone's limelight, it would definitely attract the jealousy and hatred of countless people. However, who would care about a "dead" hero?
In just a few days, the script of Li Chengfeng destroying the Puppet Country's Divine Weapon was released. Pear Garden and the troupe worked overtime to rehearse the script. Within a day, it immediately caused an uproar among the people. Li Chengfeng's name quickly became the most talked about name among the people of the Southeast after their meals.
Countless children no longer played house or fought on horseback. Instead, they played the drama of Zhenren Li fighting against the Puppet Kingdom or Li Chengfeng destroying the Flying Battleship. However, everyone wanted to be the main character, so every time before the show started, the children were already fighting fiercely. In the end, the child with the biggest fist would proudly play the role of the hero, while the other children would play the part of the clowns from the Puppet Kingdom who were beaten up by Zhenren Li.
However, on the fourth day of this lively scene, something that made everyone very embarrassed happened.
Li Chengfeng was back!
In other words, he actually fell from the sky from the original location of the explosion.
If a patrolling cultivator had not noticed the black figure falling from the sky and rushed over to catch him, Li Chengfeng would have been smashed into meat paste.
When Li Chengfeng fell, his face was pale. He held the Setting Sun Spear and Sky Splitter Sword tightly in his hands. He was also surrounded by the Hundred Three Clear Jade Medallion. It could be said that he was equipped with top-grade magical treasures. The cultivator's eyes were red and his heart was burning.
If it was not for the fact that the cultivators patrolled in teams of three, he would have killed Li Chengfeng and stolen his treasures if he was alone!
Moreover, they all recognized that this was not an ordinary person. This was the most popular and influential figure of the moment, Li Chengfeng!
If he was killed and his treasures were stolen, perhaps … there would be no place in the world for the murderer to hide!
Li Chengfeng did not know that he had taken a turn at the gates of hell. When he was transported back to the camp, he slowly woke up.
When Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan heard that Li Chengfeng was not dead, they were overjoyed on the surface but secretly smiled bitterly.
News of his death had been reported, and his achievements were also reported. The standard was for those who died in battle, but this person had returned alive. What should they do?
After all, the standard for reporting achievements after death was completely different from when he was alive.
Just like how most people who received second-class merits were alive, but not many who received first-class merits were alive.
In order to express their guilt and apologies to the Crown Prince, they reported Li Chengfeng a very high standard. They directly requested for him to be promoted to a second-class marquis. This was normally impossible unless Li Chengfeng could destroy a country in one battle. Otherwise, he was so young and inexperienced, how could he be promoted to a marquis?
What about the old generals in the army who had fought in wars and fought for their entire lives?
What about the nobility of those cultivators who had followed the army to fight and killed countless soldiers?
But since he was dead, they could only pinch their noses and accept it!
But things were different now. The dead person had come back to life!
But they could not possibly get back the achievements that were given, right?
Even if he had saved Guangyuan City and the entire war in the southeast, there were still countless people who disliked Li Chengfeng.
Suddenly, strange voices arose. Even if Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan were strict with him, it did not change the situation.
Of course, it was not just envy, jealousy, and hatred. Many people were curious as to how Li Chengfeng had survived such a terrifying explosion.
However, these people could roughly guess, so there was no need to ask. Those who wanted to ask were not related, so it was not appropriate to ask.
Li Chengfeng would not be so stupid as to reveal the secret behind it.
Faced with such a troublesome hero like Li Chengfeng, Gao Shenghan did not dare to let him enter the battlefield again. If anything happened to Li Chengfeng, he would really be in deep trouble and he would not be able to explain himself.
Plus, what if Li Chengfeng managed to earn some merit? How would he be able to claim it?
Then wouldn't the entire army explode?
If Li Chengfeng snatched all the achievements in the world, would the others still be able to play?
But they could not let Li Chengfeng idle in the rear, or else what would the world think of them?
Now that a great hero had returned, they were going to let him eat dust in the rear?
Wasn't that just jealousy?
After much thought, they could only bring Li Chengfeng to the battlefield and give him an unexpected task.
A troop trainer!
And a troop trainer at that!
In other words, he was going to train soldiers!
That was hilarious. The great battle was about to begin, but sending Li Chengfeng to train soldiers was basically a form of suppression. It was like throwing a concubine into the cold palace!
Li Chengfeng did not object to this. He had the spirit of dedication to carry a brick to wherever it was needed.
