Horse on the World

Chapter 283 The Twin Phoenix Club

In the extraordinarily large tent that Li Qing specially prepared for Princess Qingcheng, Old Prince Han, Qin Ming, Yan Nanfei and the literati staff who came with Qingcheng were discussing what they saw in Dingzhou these days. smell.

Due to etiquette, Qingcheng could not go out of the camp or enter the city. Naturally, the old prince Han was too embarrassed to run alone. As for Li Tuizhi, he ran into the city early to discuss Li Qing's wedding ceremony, completely forgetting that he was just Sending off relatives, but everyone can understand, after all, in Dingzhou, Li Qing is now only the elder of the clan like Li Tuizhi, and this Marshal Li has left home since he was a child, and he is almost a person who grew up in the army. I'm afraid I don't know the etiquette very well, and I really need someone to point it out.

In the eyes of everyone, Dingzhou is far more remote than Luoyang. In the eyes of barbarians, the giant city is really worthless. You can ride a horse and run around the city wall in an hour. In the last circle, can such a city be considered a heroic city?It is the people of Dingzhou who impressed these people the most. Walking around the street, one of the most notable characteristics is that there are very few young and middle-aged men, and the elderly, women and children are mostly. In Dingzhou, it is not like in the Central Plains. Most of the women live at home and teach their children. Most of the husbands of the women here are soldiers, so the work at home is almost entirely dependent on these women. They don’t smile, and they don’t show their skirts. These requirements for women are in Dingzhou. , just a joke.Although most of the visitors from Luoyang saw women, children, the old and the weak, or disabled men, they were secretly startled by the fierceness, the unruliness, and the self-confidence that overflowed from their hearts. , Hundreds of years of continuous wars have wiped out the sourness of Dingzhou people without a trace.

Dingzhou, which seems to be withered, gives people a particularly fulfilling feeling. Although the people on the street are in a hurry, they are laughing and talking. While doing their work, they are talking about the war on the front line, such as your boy I heard that you made meritorious deeds again, this time I am afraid that you will be awarded another acre of permanent land, or your husband was injured this time, but it was a blessing in disguise, your family can be reunited for a good year, and so on, these few days Most of the content of the day's discussion was transferred to Li Qing's big wedding. Qingcheng did not show up, but this did not hinder the curiosity of the common people and their natural interest in gossip, so in the mouths of everyone, Qingcheng really became The beauty of the country and the city.The guests in Luoyang who heard this all laughed and said nothing. Qingcheng is beautiful, but it is far from being beautiful, but compared to ordinary women, the heroic spirit on her body is indeed very capable. An attractive aura.

In Dachu, it is extremely rare for women to practice martial arts and even lead the army. Except for Dingzhou, there is probably only Qingcheng as a special case.

In fact, Qin Ming is still very grateful to Li Qing in his heart now. Fifteen hundred of their family members of the palace guards also came to Dingzhou. In the past few days, Qin Ming and other palace guards also went on vacation in batches to visit their families in Gongzhufang. Dingzhou took care of these palace guards' families very carefully. Food, charcoal, and even fish had already been distributed to each family. Compared with their treatment in Luoyang, it was not a grade higher, which also made those military family members who were very sad for leaving their homes and coming to Dingzhou a little less homesick.

"Li Qing really worked hard to win people's hearts, and it was quite effective!" Yan Nanfang, who ran the most frequently and watched the most these days, said in a deep voice, but there was a worried look on his brows.He could see that the people of Dingzhou's love for Li Qing came from the heart, not because of their lust. They only knew Li Shuai but did not know the current situation of the court, so Princess Qingcheng's royal status would inevitably be eclipsed. The action is of course quite unfavorable.

"Most people in Dingzhou belong to the military. Here, there are many preferential policies for military families. There are probably more than a dozen. Soldiers can be awarded Yongye land for their meritorious service. Although this land cannot be resold, it does not need to pay taxes. Land property and tax are also very low, which makes Dingzhou's military morale quite stable. In fact, farmers in Dingzhou pay extremely low taxes."

"The wars in Dingzhou over the years have caused heavy losses in population. Li Qing absorbed refugees, granted land for free, and provided cattle, seeds, and grain during the transition period. As long as the land has been cultivated for more than three years, the land belongs to the individual. The barren land plowed by the people, There is no need to pay taxes within three years, [-]% in the fourth year, [-]% in the fifth year, and then the full amount will be paid. This has attracted a large number of refugees to Dingzhou and alleviated the shortage of people in Dingzhou."

"There is no corvee in Dingzhou. Except for driving the captured barbarians, all Dingzhou people participate in the payment of money or food, and these things are concentrated in the slack time. Your Royal Highness, we will go all the way. Come on, the roads we passed and the ditches we saw were made in this way."

.........

Yan Nanfei was eloquent, talking about the new policies of Dingzhou one by one, but everyone in the tent had different expressions, some were surprised, some admired, some disdain, and so on.

"If Fuzhou is in the same situation, Your Royal Highness, we may face considerable resistance in trying to control Fuzhou!" Yan Nanfei concluded.

"Fuzhou belongs to Li Qing, but it has been more than a year. Li Qing should not have such a solid foundation. Oh, by the way, who is the current governor of Fuzhou?" Qingcheng asked.

"It's Xu Yunfeng, this person..." Yan Nanfei was about to introduce Xu Yunfeng's experience to Qingcheng in detail, when the big tent was opened, a palace guard stepped into the tent, gave a military salute to everyone in the tent, and said Said: "My lord, Your Royal Highness, there is someone outside the camp claiming to be Dingzhou Qingfeng, please see Your Royal Highness!"

This palace guard is just an ordinary soldier, so naturally he doesn't know what the word Dingzhou Qingfeng means to the people in the tent.

"What did you say?" Yan Nanfei couldn't believe it at first.

"The person here claims to be Dingzhou Qingfeng, oh, it's a woman!" the soldier added.

Everyone looked at Qingcheng, Qingfeng, and everyone in the tent naturally understood that the ambiguous relationship between her and Marshal Li Qing, Zhenxihou, was well known in certain circles. If she was an ordinary It's all about the woman, but this person is one of the core executives of Dingzhou, holding the Statistics and Investigation Department in his hand, and is well-known in Chu.

What is she here for?Demonstration?A word flashed involuntarily in everyone's mind.

Qingcheng's expression also changed, seeing the way everyone looked at her, she couldn't help feeling annoyed in her heart, what a breeze, are you here to demonstrate to me?When I am easy to bully. "I don't see!" The two words almost blurted out, and I immediately thought that if I didn't see her, wouldn't I be telling everyone that I was afraid of her, the majestic Princess Qingcheng, the righteous wife of Zhenxihou Li Qing, and the future daughter of Dingzhou. The mistress, who was forced to come to the door by one of her husband's... concubine and mistress, actually avoided seeing her, and passed on the news, wouldn't she become the laughing stock of Da Chu, what's the face of the Tian family?What is my face?
Qingcheng's willow eyebrows slowly stood up, and said in a cold voice: "Biography!" As soon as the word was uttered, Qingcheng obviously heard the relief of Old Prince Han and Yan Nanfei almost at the same time.

The curtain of the big tent was separated by the guards on both sides. With a golden ring on his head and Qingfeng in fox fur, Qingfeng appeared in front of the crowd, and as the breeze entered with a smile, everyone was dizzy for a while.

What is a country and a city, a stunning beauty, is right in front of you.The shattered skin is like creamy jade cream, which is more eye-catching under the faint blush, and the enchanting figure is like a weak willow Fufeng along the way. If there is only one shortcoming, it is the eyes. In a casual glance, there is always a sharp light flashing, which seems to be able to pierce people's hearts.

It turns out that the owner of the world-renowned Statistics and Investigation Department is this fragile beauty in front of me. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes here and now, it would be really difficult to connect the two in another place.

The hero is sad about the beauty pass!No wonder Li Qing caused such a disturbance because of her.I really feel pity.

Behind Qingfeng, there is a man and a woman following. The man is about forty years old, wearing the five-rank scarlet gown of Dachu, but he is Ji Sichen, director of the Statistics and Planning Department of the Statistics and Investigation Department, and the woman is also just young, wearing Dingzhou military uniform. Looking at the clothes, it turned out to be Captain Zhenwu, and he was only one step away from being a general. Although he was unarmed, Qin Ming, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, could smell a hint of danger from this woman. Obviously harboring a sense of hostility, Qin Ming couldn't help but secretly become alert.Qingcheng is good at kung fu, but his attention is obviously on Qingfeng, and he turns a blind eye to this woman, otherwise he should sense this hostility.

After all, Qin Ming is a general, and his willpower is much higher than that of other people in the tent. Although he was captured by Qingfeng's face, he returned to normal in just a short moment.At the moment Qin Ming stared at her, Zhong Jing glanced at her slightly from the side, and Qin Ming felt like being stabbed by a needle, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was even more horrified.The right hand has unconsciously supported the handle of the knife.

Seeing Qingfeng at first glance, even though Qingcheng is a woman, she is also intimidated by Qingfeng's appearance. It's not bad, and I've never been troubled by her appearance, but when I saw the breeze today, I felt ashamed from the bottom of my heart, but this person should be my rival in love, the woman of my future husband.Qingcheng felt a surge of anger from his heart.

The roots of troubles!For some reason, Qingcheng suddenly remembered this word.

Qingfeng just stood there casually like this, seemingly weak, but Qingcheng could feel the absolute self-confidence emanating from her, it was such a woman who could be turned over with one finger, and she actually made herself feel This kind of feeling made Qingcheng extremely uncomfortable.

"Dingzhou Qingfeng, I have met Lord Han and His Royal Highness the Princess!" Qingfeng put on her skirt and saluted, just bowed in such an understatement. According to etiquette, Qingfeng should kneel down and salute, just like Ji Sichen and Zhong Jing who followed behind him. They are all serious officials of the imperial court, but Qingfeng has always been because of his special status. Although he holds the power of the Statistics Department, he has never been formally appointed as an official. Everyone in the room was intimidated by her momentum, but none of them thought of it.

"Qingfeng?" Qingcheng leaned forward slightly, as if wanting to see her more clearly.

"Exactly!" Qingfeng responded neither humble nor overbearing.

Qingcheng leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said, "What do you want to come here today?"

Qingfeng smiled slightly, and Ji Sichen behind him took a small step forward, and handed a box to Qingfeng, "Dingzhou military training outline, I heard that the princess appreciates it very much, the general asked me to send it for the princess!"

"General?" Qingcheng didn't realize it for a while, and then remembered that the general Qingfeng was talking about should be Li Qing.My heart was even more bitter, and I said that it was Qingfeng who came to provoke me, but it turned out that Li Qing was protesting against me.No, Qingfeng is here to provoke.

Qingcheng's face was even more unkind, and he waved his hand, and Eunuch Huang, who was standing beside him, approached and took the small wooden box from Ji Sichen's hand.

"His Royal Highness, if this military training record is written by the general, it will also be the secret of our elite soldiers in Dingzhou. Please keep it safe and don't let it out." Qingfeng said with a smile.

"I still need you to remind me that Li Qing is about to become my husband, and I will properly dispose of my own belongings." Qingcheng said coldly with a cold face.

"It's so good!" Qingfeng didn't care.

It has been a while since Qingfeng came into the tent, and according to Qingfeng's position in Dingzhou, Qingcheng should have given her a seat, served tea, and comforted her with warm words, but Qingcheng let Qingfeng stand in the center of the big tent, without any worries. These people thought that Prince Han's eyes were a little sore, so he had no choice but to give up. Yan Nanfei coughed dryly several times, and finally had no choice but to end it hastily.There are several people who have seats in the tent, but several of them have lower official positions than the two standing behind Qingfeng, which is already deliberately embarrassing.

"This little girl!" Lord Han sighed in his heart.

"Hey, the princess still can't hold her breath after all. Compared with this Qingfeng, she has lost a bit in bearing!" Yan Nanfei sighed in his heart.

Behind Qingfeng, Zhong Jing's face showed a little anger, and she clenched her fists.But Qingfeng was at ease, Tingting was standing in the tent, it looked like she was sitting and everyone was standing.

A narrow smile suddenly appeared on Qingcheng's face, "Director Qingfeng, I've heard about you for a long time. I heard that you are a female slave rescued by Zhen Xihou from the barbarians?"

not good!Several sensible people in the tent screamed at the same time. Although few people know Qingfeng's life experience, there are several in this tent. Everyone knows that if Qingfeng has a reverse scale, then it is definitely the deadliest The inverse scale.Prince Han and Yan Nanfei changed color at the same time.

The blush on Qingfeng's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by snow-white. Zhong Jing suddenly raised his head, and a murderous intent spread instantly, and Qin Ming stood up abruptly.

Ji Sichen was shocked, and looked at Qingcheng with some surprise. According to the information obtained from the information, Princess Qingcheng is not such a superficial person?Why such a gaffe?He raised his head and glanced at Qingcheng, then at Qingfeng's back, if he realized something, he couldn't help shaking his head slowly.

"Exactly, Qingfeng was in a catastrophe and was alone and helpless. Fortunately, the general rescued him, so he swore to serve the general himself, and he would never give up!" He spit out one word at a time, until the last sentence, it was no different from usual.

"Director Qingfeng's bizarre experience is really deplorable, but misfortune is a blessing, if not, how would you have met Zhenxihou, not only became the world-renowned director of the statistics department, but also became a general Where's your confidante?"

"Thanks to the general's wrong love!" Qingfeng responded lightly.

"Qingqing!" Old Prince Han finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Highness!" Yan Nanfei stood up.

"What's wrong with you two?" Qingcheng glanced at the two of them pretending to be surprised, "I chatted with Director Qingfeng for some homework, why are you two so groggy? Director Qingfeng is not an outsider, so I have to call her sister What!" While talking, he cast a playful sidelong glance at Qingfeng.

The anger in Zhong Jing's eyes was unstoppable, Qingfeng glanced at her, Zhong Jing suppressed himself, the veins on his forehead throbbed, obviously on the verge of eruption.

It was because of jealousy that he lost his proper demeanor and brains, Ji Sichen smiled, Qingcheng is so easily agitated, it is much easier to deal with.Maybe it's because I stayed with Datoubing for a long time, and my IQ has also dropped?
