When Chu Feng returned to Shengjing City, it was already midnight.
The temperature was below-20 degrees Celsius. It was so cold that one felt as if their bones were about to break, especially when riding on a warhorse. Their teeth were trembling.
Qi Jiguang hadn't returned yet, so Huo Qubing would probably arrive at dawn at the earliest.
The 60,000 soldiers charged forward, and they were truly tired but also relieved. When they returned to the city, Chu Feng ordered the Fire Head Camp to start a fire and cook so that the soldiers could eat and drink their fill before going to rest.
This was Chu Feng's usual practice.
To warm the heart, one must first warm the person.
In this chaotic world, the will of the people determined the direction of the general trend.
Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui were much quieter on the way, especially Wu Xiang, who seemed to have accepted his fate.
"My Lord, General Qi just sent someone to deliver the news…"
Zhao Yun personally helped Chu Feng take off his armor and cloak as she reported,""The army is already on their way back. They will arrive in at most two hours.”
"Have the Fire Head Camp prepare more food.”
Chu Feng nodded." Go and rest first. I believe that after today, both Da Ming and Hou Jin Manmeng will be well-behaved."”
"I've been worried about General Huo. Fortunately, there are scouts who keep sending messages…"
At the mention of Huo Qubing, Zhao Yun couldn't suppress her excitement."According to reports, General Huo personally led five thousand soldiers and massacred the Horqin Plains. Even the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Hauge, was killed.”
"Don't be careless. Since ancient times, the Han people have been used to guarding their homes and businesses, while the nomads are used to fighting on the grasslands.”
"As long as the Qing Dynasty is not destroyed, we will not have peace." Chu Feng sighed heavily.”
"My Lord, are you going to target the Manchu Empire?”
"We'll discuss it again."
Chu Feng wasn't in the mood to think about this. He waved his hand and headed straight for the palace. On the way, he didn't forget to remind him,"Men, escort Qin Liangyu into the palace and order the imperial kitchen to prepare the meals.”
The night was dark and the wind was strong, but the barracks in Shengjing City were still bustling with noise.
Chu Feng allowed the soldiers who were going out to battle to drink tonight, so large jars of wine were carried out. Thick bowls were placed on the table, and the men rolled up their sleeves to eat and drink.
They were all rough people who had rolled over from Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild. They did not know what was called refined and only wanted to have a quick time.
Li Cunxiao personally consoled the soldiers in the camp and drank to his heart's content with tens of thousands of soldiers.
It hadn't snowed for the entire day, but because of the dry and cold air, the snow didn't show any signs of melting.
There was still a thick layer of snow on the houses along the streets of the city. It was quite beautiful under the night sky.
Qin Liangyu, who was tied up, was carried by two soldiers to the bedroom of the palace. The stove filled with charcoal was lit and a chimney was installed. He was not worried about carbon dioxide poisoning.
Pine oil lamps were placed along the table, illuminating the huge bedroom as if it was daytime.
If some red paper cuts were pasted on it, it would be the wedding night.
On a useless bed, Qin Liangyu, who was covered in mud, had a rag stuffed into her mouth. She kept whining, and her slightly familiar face was flushed red.
Creak--
The door of the palace was pushed open again, and Chu Feng, who had just finished bathing and changing, appeared.
"Hmm? Yes, yes, yes…"
Qin Liangyu suddenly had a bad premonition and struggled even more intensely.
"General Qin, what are you doing?"
Chu Feng teasingly stepped forward and removed the rag from her mouth. Before he could speak, he heard a series of curses.
"Bastard! What are you doing? Stay away from me, get lost…"
"You…you…don't touch me…"
His hands were still tied behind his back, but his body was struggling to move back. His eyes were filled with fear.
"General Qin, is this Chu that you fear?”
The more Chu Feng spoke, the more he sounded like a pervert.
He grabbed Qin Liangyu's sleeve and quickly untied the rope. He didn't go overboard. He clapped his hands and sat down on the bed.
On the other hand, Qin Liangyu stood up and tried to escape out of the door.
However, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by more than ten guards holding knives outside the door. His right foot, which had been stretched out, had no choice but to retreat.
The palace door was also slammed shut by the guard. In his anger, Qin Liangyu suddenly turned around."How old are you?"
"Seventeen…"
"I'm ten years older than you, do you know?”Qin Liangyu was stunned.
"I know."
Chu Feng nodded honestly.
"You're so young, but you're doing this. As long as you want to marry any woman in the world, who wouldn't?”
Qin Liangyu couldn't figure it out. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he stepped forward and said,""If you don't want a beautiful girl, why do you want to take advantage of a widow like me?”
"Who says I don't want girls?"
Chu Feng opened his eyes wide and said innocently,"I want both you and the young girl."”
"You…"
"In this chaotic world, people who drag out an ignoble existence only want to survive…"
Chu Feng was no longer impatient. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall."It is not the case for heroes to rise up together. Do you know what they are after, General Qin?”
"It's nothing more than power and power."
"It's only one of them."
Chu Feng waved a finger and said,""The ancients said that when one is full and warm, one will think of desire. In this world, if a man was hungry, he would want to eat his fill. But if he had no worries, he would want fame and…women!”
Chu Feng deliberately emphasized the last two words.
"I'm already considered an old woman. Why are you making things difficult for me?”
Qin Liangyu could not understand.
"This is what I want to tell General Qin.”
Chu Feng mischievously raised the corner of his mouth." A man must conquer the world first, and a woman must be second. Especially a woman like General Qin, who is not inferior to a man. This is to show the strength of a man."”
“……”
Qin Liangyu was at a loss for words. After a long time, he said,""Nonsense!"
"Why did General Qin join the army?"
Chu Feng didn't mind and supported his chin with one hand,""If I'm not wrong, it's to ensure the safety of one side.”
"So what?"
"What's the difference between being loyal to me and Zhu Youjian?”
Chu Feng started to beat around the bush.
"Your Majesty is the monarch of the Ming Dynasty. As a general of the imperial court, it is only right for me to protect the country and be loyal to the imperial court.”
Qin Liangyu had always treated Chu Feng like a child.""You? At most, they were rebels like Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.”
"General Qin, do you know why Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai rebelled?”
"So what if I know, so what if I don't? Killing the innocent and forcing the people into exile should have been cut into pieces…"
Although Qin Liangyu was more rational than other women, she was still emotional.
"Is this what General Qin thinks of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai?”
Chu Feng laughed. It was no longer a joke, but a blatant mockery,""General, do you know that the Guanzhong Plain has suffered from a drought for three consecutive years? The people have no harvest, but the government has increased taxes. The people have no food to eat.”
