Chapter 171 I’m Finally Back

Seeing that Lin Xiuming was about to go crazy, Li Feng hurriedly said: "General Lin, don't worry, we don't need to be too nervous.

"There are only 5,000 barbarian soldiers in the distance at most. Even if they attack the city, they can't get in."

"And they are probably not here to attack the city."

Seeing Li Feng's indifferent look, Lin Xiuming asked in confusion: "General Li, how do you know they are not here to attack the city?"

Li Feng replied: "After the Northern Xian King's army was repelled by us, they sent thousands of people to harass us from time to time, but they basically only shouted and didn't attack the city. I guess they wanted to play a psychological game."

"I guess they will have to wait until the beginning of next spring before the Northern Xian King's army will go south again to attack Tianguang City."

Hearing Li Feng's answer, Lin Xiuming looked at Li Feng with a suspicious face.

At this time, Li Feng said to Lin Xiuming's soldiers: "Don't attack. Now we are short of bows and arrows. Let's save arrows and attack when the barbarians attack the city. "

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, a barbarian came to the city on horseback and shouted in the Daxia language with a barbarian accent: "Our king said that the Northern King should immediately hand over his princess and compensate us with 10 million taels of silver, otherwise next spring, our Northern Xian King tribe will gather a million troops to march south."

"When the time comes, wherever the barbarian warriors go, there will be no grass and blood will flow like a river."

As soon as the barbarian soldier finished shouting, thousands of barbarian cavalrymen in the distance stood up and shouted: "No grass will grow, and blood will flow like a river!"

"No grass will grow, and blood will flow like a river!!! "

...

Then the barbarian soldier said some very unpleasant words, insulting the Daxia people as two-legged sheep, timid, afraid to go out, and only dared to stay in the sheepfold.

After hearing those words, the court soldiers brought by Lin Xiuming wanted to shoot the barbarian soldier to death with an arrow, but they did not act impulsively. After all, the general had not given an order, and they would be punished by military law if they attacked without authorization.

At this time, Lin Xiuming noticed a strange phenomenon.

Just now, when Li Feng came to find him, he was in a panic, as if the barbarian army was about to break in, but now he was standing on the city wall like nothing happened.

Not only him, but also the soldiers who stayed behind in Beijun.

Only the soldiers he brought were as if they were facing a great enemy.

It seemed as if the barbarian siege had nothing to do with their Beijun soldiers.

Weird, too weird...

Lin Xiuming simply ignored it and directly handed over the command of the battlefield to The power was handed over to Li Feng, who decided whether to attack or not.

Li Feng stood on the tower until the barbarian soldiers finished shouting and left.

For a long time afterwards, the barbarian cavalry came to Tianguang City every now and then, but they just shouted and did not attack.

Later, Lin Xiuming heard the soldiers report that there was a barbarian attack, but he was too lazy to pay attention.

Lin Xiuming was not a fool, he also saw that those barbarians had no intention of attacking Tianguang City at all, and it was not even certain whether they were barbarians.

However, as a general sent by the Great Xia court to support, Lin Xiuming still wrote down everything he saw in a war report and sent it to the capital.

Of course, he did not write some minor details in the war report.

Half a month later.

Tianguang City.

Li Feng was sorting things in his room. At this time, a soldier from Beijun entered the room and whispered: "General, the prince is really as good as a god, someone really dug a grave. "

Hearing this, Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at the door, and after confirming that the soldiers at the door were all from Beijun, he asked: "How much area of ​​soil has been turned over?"

The soldier replied: "I looked and there are about 20 places, each of which is about one square meter in area."

Hearing the soldier's answer, Li Feng said: "The court is indeed worried about Beijun, but this should not be Lin Xiuming's intention. It is most likely that the court's spies planted in the army did it. "

The reason why Lu Chen asked people to change the clothes of the barbarian corpses into clothes worn by Daxia people was mainly to prevent someone from digging up the graves to identify the dead.

To be honest, Lu Chen didn't think that the army led by Lin Xiuming would do such a thing, nor did he think that Lin Xiuming would dig up the graves to identify the bodies.

Whether the soldiers buried in the mound were from Beijun or not, at least they were nominally the black cavalry of Beijun, and nominally they died for Beijun and Daxia.

If people knew that their graves were dug up, the impact would definitely be bad.

Lu Chen asked people to change the clothes of the corpses purely with the greatest malice to speculate that the soldiers in Lin Xiuming's army In his opinion, even if Lin Xiuming did not have the idea of ​​verifying whether those bodies were black cavalry, some of the people brought by Lin Xiuming would probably do so.

As a result, Lu Chen had only been away from Tianguang City for half a month, and he had not even returned to Yancheng yet. The graves were indeed dug up, but it would not be so easy to verify whether the people buried in those graves were Daxia people at this time.

Although corpses are not easy to rot in winter, they will change when buried in the soil. Even if they are frozen corpses, coupled with soil contamination, it is not easy to determine whether those soldiers are barbarians or Daxia people.

The soldier asked at this time: "General, do we need to do anything?"

Li Feng said lightly: "Don't do anything, just let our people keep their mouths shut and don't talk nonsense. If they let it slip, they know the consequences themselves."

The Beijun soldiers who are still in Tianguang City were all selected by Lu Chen himself. These soldiers are very loyal and will not easily betray Beijun.

On the surface, they are assisting Lin Xiuming in guarding Tianguang City, but in fact, their role is to monitor the 20,000 troops of the court.

Of course, their biggest role is to cooperate with the Beijun soldiers who act as barbarians.

Those soldiers who come to Tianguang City every day to punch in and curse are all the army of Daxia. Anyway, the war is over and there is nothing to do in winter. Lu Chen assigned tasks to Mu Changtian and his son and Xiao Pengtian, asking them to come to Tianguang City from time to time to harass the court's army, creating an illusion that the King of Beixian is not dead yet.

At the same time.

Yancheng.

Lu Chen rode a horse, looking at the north gate of Yancheng, and sighed in his heart: "Finally I'm back."

The heavy snow blocked the road. The journey that could have been completed in a few days ended up taking Lu Chen and the soldiers of Beijun half a month.

Lu Chen didn't even want to curse the King of Beixian who was already dead under the gun, after all, he was already dead.

At this moment, Lu Chen couldn't help but have an idea. If all the barbarians had the same brain as the King of Northern Xian, wouldn't it be very easy for him to control the barbarian tribes in the north in the future?

Just when Lu Chen was lost in thought, Qin Yushan and Li Rui led the officials of Yancheng to the city gate to welcome Lu Chen.

"Welcome the prince to triumph!"

Although they told the public that the heavy cavalry of Beijun was gone, Lu Chen's people basically knew that the black cavalry was fine. They won a great victory in Beijun this time with zero casualties.

Lu Chen came to his senses and rode his horse quickly to the city gate. While riding, he asked Qin Yushan beside him, "Commander Qin, nothing big has happened in Yancheng in the past few days, right?"

Qin Yushan followed Lu Chen's horse and reported the situation in Yancheng while walking.

"Your Highness, there has been no major incident in Yancheng recently."

"However, there is some information that I have not sent to Tianguang City in time. I will report it to Your Highness first."

"Many merchants from Dawu have appeared in Yancheng in recent days, and the number of disciples in Xuanyue Palace has also increased significantly."

Because the heavy snow blocked the road, it took some time for the Jinyiwei's information to reach Tianguang City, so Lu Chen did not know if anything had happened in Yancheng in recent days.

He rode his horse, moving slowly forward while listening to Qin Yushan's report.

When Lu Chen arrived at the gate of the palace, Qin Yushan's information was not much to report. Lu Chen glanced at his wives and concubines at the gate of the palace, turned his head slightly and said to Qin Yushan: "Commander Qin, you go and do your thing."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

After Qin Yushan left, Lu Chen immediately got off the horse and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Mu Zixuan immediately brought Lu Chen's women to surround him, and Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou threw themselves into Lu Chen's arms together.

Mu Zixuan said: "Prince, you are finally back. We have been very worried about you since we heard the news of the destruction of the Black Cavalry."

Feeling the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, Lu Chen smiled slightly, patted the backs of the three beauties and said: "Don't worry, ladies, I'm fine."

At this time, Lu Chen's eyes fell on Lin Wanyun. Lin Wanyun stood far away, but her eyes were always focused on him, and it seemed that she was planning something.

After listening to Qin Yushan's report just now, Lu Chen had guessed what Xuanyue Palace was going to do next.

Xuanyue Palace believed that the destruction of the Black Cavalry was an opportunity for Xuanyue Palace, an opportunity to get close to the Northern Palace. It seemed that Xuanyue Palace would find a way to negotiate cooperation with him soon.

After Lu Chen's eyes swept from Lin Wanyun, they fell on Chu Yuqin. Chu Yuqin looked at him with a worried face. It was obvious that she wanted to come over to ask about her situation, but Chu Qingli was standing next to Chu Yuqin, which made Chu Yuqin dare not get too close to avoid her sister's random thoughts.

Looking at the women surrounding Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin felt empty at this moment.

She couldn't help but recall the time when she was in Beijing. When she was in Beijing, there were not so many women around Lu Chen.

Every time Lu Chen came back from outside, she was the only one who cared about him.

Things are different now. Now Lu Chen has grown up, has a family, and has many wives and concubines. She, the woman who has always been with Lu Chen, has become a marginal person and can't get close to Lu Chen.

Chu Yuqin felt depressed when she thought of this.

At this time, Lu Chen's eyes were withdrawn from Chu Yuqin, and then he looked at Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

Although Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao also came over, they seemed a little shy and just stood beside Mu Zixuan and the others, unlike Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou who directly threw themselves into Lu Chen's arms.

The two of them had just married into the palace, and although they had deep feelings for Lu Chen, they couldn't just rush over to him because Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou were there.

If they rushed over to him directly, wouldn't it be a fight for favor? The two of them knew their identities very well, so they restrained their inner impulses.

Looking at Lu Chen's handsome face, Yelu Nanyan smiled slightly. After hearing about the destruction of the Black Cavalry, she thought something was going to happen in Beijun, but in the end, nothing happened.

Honestly speaking, she didn't believe that the King of Northern Xian had the strength to defeat the black cavalry of Beijun. Even the 300,000 troops of the Heavenly Wolf King were no match for Beijun and those black cavalry. How could the King of Northern Xian be a match for Beijun? She had some understanding of the strength of the King of Northern Xian's tribe.

At a glance, she knew that this little man was plotting something.

And from the look of him, he didn't look like he had been defeated.

Now Yelu Nanyan has completely integrated into the Northern Palace. If Lu Chen really lost the battle, she would not be happy, after all, this little man is already her husband.

And the life in the Northern Palace has always been what she longed for, and she didn't want to see her beautiful life destroyed.

At this time, Lu Chen smiled and said, "My ladies, when I come back from the battle, you won't even let me into the palace, right?"

Mu Zixuan and other important women in the palace came to the gate of the palace, and the maids and servants of the palace also stood at the gate, which made the entire palace gate full of people, and Lu Chen couldn't get in.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan in Lu Chen's arms suddenly woke up and hurriedly said to the servants at the gate of the palace: "Everyone go, go and do your own things."

"Prince, let's go back to the main hall first. The palace has been renovated now."

Lu Chen said curiously: "Completed the renovation? Is there already a greenhouse?"

When Lu Chen went north, he told Mo Fei and the others about his palace renovation plan, intending to let them help watch the renovation of the palace's greenhouse.

Calculating the time, they have been in the north for more than two months, and the renovation of the greenhouse should have been completed.

Mu Zixuan said: "Well, most of the rooms in the palace are not cold now, especially the main hall of the palace, which is very warm."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Let's go, I'll go and see if the renovation of the greenhouse has met my expectations."

Then Lu Chen brought his wives and concubines to the main hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he felt a warm current, and the cold feeling instantly dissipated. The whole hall was very warm.

The reason why the main hall is so warm is that there is a smoke passage under the hall, and there is a coal-burning room outside, which is similar to the principle of kang, except that the main hall is larger and consumes more coal every day.

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhou and asked: "Youyou, have you finished renovating your room?"

The main hall is where Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan live. If only this place is renovated, his other women will not be able to enjoy it.

Zhou Youyou replied: "Your Majesty, most of the rooms in the palace have been transformed into warm rooms, and the North Courtyard is no exception."

Hearing this, Lu Chen said: "Then I am relieved."

Entering the main hall, Mu Zixuan and the others knelt on the ground and sat around Lu Chen. Lu Chen snuggled with them and talked about some things in Tianguang City.

At this time, Chu Yuqin stood outside the courtyard of the main hall, looking at the warm scene in the hall, she couldn't help but sigh.

Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin with a confused look on her face, "Sister, why are you sighing?"

Chu Yuqin came back to her senses and quickly said, "Nothing, I just thought of some things in the past."

"Okay, there's nothing to do now, you can go on patrol too."

Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin with suspicion, but she didn't think much about it.

Although Lu Chen, the lustful man, has returned, he is surrounded by so many women, and her sister can't be alone with Lu Chen, so Chu Qingli is still relieved of Chu Yuqin for the time being.

After Lu Chen chatted with his wives and concubines for a while, he went to the study.

The study has accumulated a lot of intelligence, but most of it is the intelligence of Tingyu Tower. Unlike Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei's intelligence is basically delivered to Lu Chen as soon as possible, but most of the intelligence of Tingyu Tower is delivered to Lu Chen's study.

Lu Chen really wants to know the current trends of the major dynasties, especially what Dayue Dynasty is doing recently.

As soon as Lu Chen walked to the door of the study, he saw a graceful figure.

Her face showed a trace of worry, a hint of expectation, and a blank look.

She wandered at the door of the study, as if she was patrolling, but she seemed more like she was waiting for someone to come.
