Shengjing City had been shaking for the past few days.
The 170,000 soldiers continued to train, and the tsunami-like warhorses galloped across the vast land. The two armies fought and killed each other.
Especially Huo Qubing, he was almost like a madman every day, twenty-four hours a day to study tactics and strengthen his combat strength.
He was like a terrifying demon on the prairie.
Chu Feng looked on with heartfelt admiration. After lunch, he climbed up the city tower and looked around. Everywhere he looked, there were mighty soldiers and horses.
That kind of emperor-like mentality was really comfortable.
"My Lord! My Lord…"
Zhao Zilong was now the commander of Chu Feng's Imperial Army. He was by Chu Feng's side almost all the time.
With a saber slung on his waist and wearing armor, he hurried up the city tower."My Lord, the scouts just reported that Empress Yi 'an of Great Ming has arrived…"
"Hmm?"
This was interesting.
Chu Feng couldn't help but return to his senses,"When did this happen?" How did you get it?"
" Now, the entire capital is going crazy. Empress Yi 'an is going to remarry to Shengjing. According to the time, she set off yesterday…"
Zhao Zilong reported truthfully," I heard that when Empress Yi 'an left the capital, she was sent off by the three provinces, six ministries, and all the civil and military officials. The imperial court even sent her off with the highest etiquette.”
"I was wondering why there was no news from Zhu Youjian these days.”
Chu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he rubbed his chin."If that's the case, Empress Yi 'an will arrive tomorrow at most.”
"Exactly."
"But…why hasn't anyone from the Chamberlain of Dependencies come to inform us?" Zhao Yun asked with a puzzled expression.”
"The Chamberlain of Dependencies is an external organization. Zhu Youjian clearly does not recognize me as an external enemy. According to the rules, it should be the people from the Bureau of Rites who should come.”
Chu Feng looked more and more like he was smiling.
Empress Yi 'an, where was Zhang Yan? Who was this famous and beautiful woman in the history of the late Ming Dynasty?
To be honest, he was very surprised.
He had thought that Zhu Youjian would send his daughter over. After all, it was a princess's wedding, so it was only natural.
However, he never expected that the one who came was Empress Yi 'an.
"Even the Ministry of Rites should be here by now…"
Almost as soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, a black dot appeared in the distance outside Shengjing City.
Gradually, the black dot got closer and closer. It was clearly a convoy of more than a hundred people.
Immediately after, a scout rode his horse over. When he arrived at the city, he raised his head and shouted,"Reporting to the Lord, the Great Ming's Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan has come, saying that he is here for the marriage.”
"It really is him."
Chu Feng couldn't help but smile."Zilong, order the imperial kitchen to prepare a feast today. As the ancients said, one should not hit a smiling person. Since they came with good intentions, how should they treat them with courtesy?”
"This subordinate will do it now…"
"Oh right, inform Wu Xiang and his son Wu Sangui to come to the banquet together…"
This was getting more and more interesting.
Chu Feng kept smiling and rubbing his hands. He was not happy because he could get the Empress of Yi 'an.
After all, it was only a matter of time. There was nothing surprising about it.
Instead, he was surprised that Zhu Youjian had given his sister-in-law to him. This was the main point.
He didn't have the mood to parade at the city gate. He went down the stairs and headed straight for the palace. He didn't need to dress up, but he couldn't avoid putting on airs.
…………
Carriages were not as fast as cavalry.
Yuan Chonghuan left Shanhaiguan yesterday and rushed for a day and a night before arriving at Shengjing.
He had been tormented by the old man along the way. The wind and frost on his face had thickened. He entered Shengjing City in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Zu Dashou had been following behind him, his face full of hostility as he looked around warily.
At present, Shengjing City did not have the Ming Dynasty, nor did the three provinces and six ministries. Regardless of diplomacy, military and political affairs, Zhao Yun was in charge of them all.
On behalf of Chu Feng, he welcomed Yuan Chonghuan outside the palace gates and cupped his fists,"" Overseer Yuan, you've had a tough journey. The Lord is already waiting in the hall…"
"Thank you, General Zhao!"
After some simple greetings, the gifts in the carriage were handed over to Zhao Zilong. Zu Dashou adjusted his collar and cuffs and strode toward the palace.
Zu Dashou's weapon was removed and his entire body was searched before he was allowed to follow Yuan Chonghuan into the palace.
At this moment, in the hall.
Chu Feng had already ordered people to brew tea and prepare dried fruits. This kind of decoration was still needed.
"I haven't seen you for many days. General Chu has become more energetic…"
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan stepped out of the door, he became enthusiastic."This old man has come again and has disturbed you.”
"Aiyaya, Overseer."
Chu Feng started again. Although he knew that Yuan Chonghuan had come, he was still as surprised as if he did not know."Shanhai Pass is a long journey, and you didn't even inform me of your arrival. It must have been hard on you.”
"This old man had an imperial order and was in a hurry to hurry, so I neglected it.”
The old and the young greeted each other in a pretentious manner.
Even Zu Dashou, who was at the side, was dumbfounded. These two people were disgusting.
"Yo! This is…"
"Could it be General Zu?" Chu Feng suddenly said.”
"Yes, I am."
Zu Dashou forced a smile and bowed,""I've long heard of General Chu's elegance. Now that I've seen it today, you truly live up to your reputation.”
"Fake, it's definitely fake."
Chu Feng waved his hand jovially." Overseer Yuan, General Zu, we are all people who are far away from the pass. During normal times, we should come and go often. Especially during festivals, we should gather together."”
“……”
Do you think you're f * cking out to play?
Despite his anger, Yuan Chonghuan still nodded repeatedly."General Chu is right."
" Sigh, the Spring Festival is coming. It's another year…"
Chu Feng deliberately rambled on and on as he looked at the sky outside the hall with a face full of emotion: "The young warrior hasn't been rewarded. As the end of the year approaches, I'll always feel a little melancholic.”
" Cough cough…That…General Chu…"
Yuan Chonghuan tapped his fingers on the table. He couldn't stand it anymore and quickly interrupted,"General Chu, do you know why I'm here?”
"I can guess a thing or two."
Chu Feng had a sincere and serious look on his face."Has Overseer Yuan defected?"
“……”
Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou were stunned, and the words that were about to come out of their mouths were choked.
Damn it! How could this person be so shameless?
They refused to believe that Chu Feng did not know that Empress Yi 'an had come, but his mother had a harmless appearance.
"Of…Of course not."
Yuan Chonghuan forcefully suppressed his anger and said with a smile,""Since that's the case, I'll tell you directly. Previously, General Chu wanted to marry Princess Changping or Empress Yi 'an. Now, His Majesty has made a decision and specially ordered me to come and inform you.”
"Marry?"
Chu Feng's face was filled with confusion,"Could it be that Overseer made a mistake?" When did I ever say I wanted to marry them?"
"You…"
Motherf * cker, I can't take it anymore.
Yuan Chonghuan choked. Zu Dashou stood up abruptly and said angrily,""Is General Chu really going too far? Previously, it was you who repeatedly said that you wanted Princess Changping to be betrothed to you or Empress Yi 'an. Now that His Majesty and the Ming court have agreed, how can you go back on your word?”
"General Zu, I think you've misunderstood.”
Chu Feng had a look of realization on his face, and then he slapped his thigh with a face full of annoyance."I did say those words before, but…it was all a joke!”
