The huge convoy traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived in Taiping City at noon on New Year's Eve. When he was in Changyang County, he was used to the poverty of the Yue people and the tragic desolation of deserted people, and entered Chengwuben, the core area controlled by the Taiping Army, as if he had walked in two different worlds in a very short time.

He also experienced the tragic war, but the prosperity and prosperity of Shayang County shocked Cheng Wuben, which reminded him of the scene of his hometown.

Passing through Fengxian and entering Dayan Mountain, this is already a real Chongshan Junling area, but what surprised him was that a spacious road winded forward in the mountains, and the snow on the road was cleaned up. On both sides of the road, the green tiles and white walls of houses stimulated his eyes all the time.

At this moment, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at the majestic black city on the top of the mountain, his eyes showed even more shocking. It was only more than two years, and only two years ago, the captain had already done such a feat.

He let out a sigh of relief, and he lowered his head a little lonely. Unfortunately, such a talent is now full of conflicts with the Great Chu. This is to describe the relationship between Qin Feng and the State of Chu, or it may be too simple, but Cheng Wuben subconsciously thought this way. There is no contradiction that cannot be resolved, just think of a solution with all your heart.

Thinking of the complex and complex relationship between Qin Feng and the Chu royal family, Cheng Wuben suddenly felt full of confidence. As long as Qin Feng turned to Chu, the second battlefield would be immediately successful. In the dispute between Qi and Chu, the Chu people took great initiative.

"What a majestic city!" He stroked his forehead with his hand and exclaimed.

Lu Yifan, who was accompanying him, smiled and said, "Shuai Cheng may not know that in more than two years, this place was still deep mountains and forests. After General Qin discovered this place, he waved his hand and decided to build Taiping City here. From nothing to something, it took only more than a year to reach its current scale. Cheng Shuai, what you see is only part of it. In fact, Taiping City is still expanding. This plateau flat land covers an area of ​​100 miles. Now Taiping City is only part of it. When it is fully built, it will be a big city that is not inferior to any country's capital!"

"General Qin's ambition is really admirable." Cheng Wuben nodded and smiled. "But such a large city has been built, can the Taiping Army's financial resources support such a large-scale construction?"

Lu Yifan raised his eyebrows, "I don't know the specifics. So far, the Taiping Army is basically spending money on all construction, but it seems that I heard that the general has a new plan for the construction of the city. If it is implemented according to this plan, it will not cost us too much money and will not form too much elbows for the Taiping Army in terms of financial resources. However, I have been leading troops outside, so the specific situation is not clear."

Taking up a hundred miles of space, this plan looks extremely crazy in Chengwuben. Even Shangjing City is just a slightly larger scale than this. However, Shangjing City is an old city that has flourished since the Tang Dynasty and has developed little by little to today. I wonder how many people's efforts and financial resources have been spent? No matter how fast the Taiping Army develops, how could it be possible? Or this is just a loyal subordinate blindly worshiping Qin Feng, and regards some hearsay things as Qin Feng's real idea.

But even if Qin Feng is just an idea, it can reveal Qin Feng's ambitions.

On the road leading to the mountaintop city gate, a simple arch stands tall. On the pillars on both sides are wrapped with corn cobs, dried golden wheat ears, and a scene of a bumper harvest immediately appear in front of you. Standing outside the arch and looking inward, every few dozen steps, there is a small arch made of pine and cypress branches, which are also entangled with various crops, slightly gray gourds, golden pumpkins, and more of them are things that Cheng Wuben cannot call him a name at all.

"What a prosperous scene!" Cheng Wuben praised sincerely.

"I heard that the great Chu is rich and difficult to reach in the world. We are just a small witch here." As the master, Lu Yifan said humbly. "Ship Cheng, please."

At the gate of Taiping City, there are lights and colorful decorations, and there are joyful lanterns hanging everywhere. However, all this is not to welcome Cheng Wuben, but to Taiping City celebrate their New Year.

The last time we celebrated the New Year, Taiping City was still busy with construction. The Taiping Army was not as large as the current scale and momentum. The New Year was naturally gone, but this year was different. The Taiping Army now controls the two counties and has millions of people under its command. In Shayang County, Taiping City welcomes a bumper harvest this fall. Everything shows that the Taiping Army, as a political force, is thriving. This New Year will naturally be celebrated, not only for joy, but also for the people under its command.

Qin Feng, Princess Zhaohua, Yinggu and others stood at the gate of the city. Apart from Mahou, there was no other senior official from the Taiping Army. Even Qin Feng was just wearing casual clothes.

Of course, this is not the rudeness of the Taiping Army, but because the arrival of Cheng Wuben today is not a formal official itinerary, but under the banner of being a private visit, giving a dowry to a mother's married daughter.

Although it means to cover up the ears and steal the bell, from another perspective, it cannot be considered a move to take off your pants and fart. Sometimes, some of the meanings that should be expressed must be done, whether it is to decorate the store or be sincere. Anyway, the meaning expressed by the Taiping Army can be clearly understood by anyone with a discerning eye.

Standing at their position, I could see clearly the road up the mountain below. The carriage in the front was about to reach its destination, and the one at the end had just stepped on the mountain road.

"I'm rich!" Qin Feng turned his head to look at Min Ruoxi with a smile, and his eyebrows were dancing.

Min Ruoxi, who was standing beside him, rolled her eyes, "That's my dowry!"

"Isn't yours mine?" Qin Feng called out, "Even you are mine."

"So many people, what are you talking about!" Min Ruoxi's face turned red suddenly, and her hands hidden in the cloak approached Qin Feng without any trace, and pinched him hard. Her hand was not comparable to that of an ordinary woman. Just once, Qin Feng was already grinning.

The little movements of the two men, Ma Hou standing behind them, could naturally see clearly, but he looked righteous and stared at the front without looking sideways, as if nothing had happened.

Dazhu has already taken over more than 10,000 subordinates of Lu Yifan. Now Ma Hou has officially become Qin Feng's personal guard commander. Although he is only eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year, he is already quite steady as a young man.

Lu Yifan turned over and dismounted, trotted to Qin Feng, clasped his fists and bowed to the ground: "General, Lu Yifan was ordered to return to the city to report his duties, and escorted Cheng Shuai to Taiping City all the way."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Qin Feng reached out to support Lu Yifan. Although this guy has limited talent and is not brave enough, he did play an irreplaceable and great contribution in the process of Taiping Army managing Changyang County. "Defendant Wang is waiting for you in the meeting hall, go find him!"

"Yes!" Lu Yifan bowed and retreated aside.

Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi walked towards the carriage that had just stopped. The carriage stopped steadily, and Cheng Wuben pushed the door out and jumped down.

"Cheng Wuben has met His Royal Highness and the Prince Consort!" Cheng Wuben smiled and bowed with fists. As a minister of Chu, he naturally still held the courtesy of his subjects in front of Min Ruoxi.

"Why are Uncle Cheng so distant? You are an elder." Min Ruoxi turned sideways slightly and avoided this tribute. Qin Feng smiled and clasped his fists, and actually called Uncle Cheng with Min Ruoxi.

"Uncle Cheng, welcome to Taiping City as a guest!"

The two of them called Uncle Cheng, which sounded intimate, but they rejected Cheng Wuben's enthusiasm thousands of miles away, as if their heads were indicating that his real purpose this time was probably not that simple.

This was the first time that Qin Feng saw a real person. At that time, the two were one west and one east. Qin Feng was naturally well-known for Cheng Wuben. As for Qin Feng, Cheng Wuben had naturally heard of him before. As the number one strong general under Zuo Lixing, Cheng Wuben had heard of him in many cases, but this was the first time that the two actually met.

When Qin Feng arrived in Shangjing, he became a prisoner. Cheng Wuben had not yet returned. By the time Cheng Wuben returned to Shangjing, Qin Feng was already sad.

Cheng Wuben, who was over 60 years old, was from the same period as Min Wei, the former emperor of Chu. Although his hair was gray, he was tall and had a strong military style. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he still felt awesome and mighty. Min Ruoxi might not think of this, but Qin Feng, Mahou and others who have been in the military for many years had a deep feeling.

Yinggu behind Min Ruoxi nodded slightly. Looking at Yinggu, Cheng Wuben was slightly surprised and bowed to his favor: "Congratulations to Yinggu." His congratulations naturally saw that Yinggu had almost entered the state of a master. Thinking that he had been tired of military affairs for half his life, he was afraid that he would never be able to enter this state again in his life, and he couldn't help but feel regretful.

"Uncle Cheng, I have prepared a banquet at home to welcome you." Min Ruoxi said with a smile. "The guest rooms at home have been cleaned up long ago, but this place is not comparable to Beijing. Uncle Cheng is going to suffer a grievance."

Every word and sentence, never leaving home. Listening to these, Cheng Wuben couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I have been rolling in the army all my life. I can sleep when I fall down and eat when I sit down. How can I talk about any grievances?"

"Please, Uncle Cheng, we might as well walk in, and we just happened to ask Uncle Cheng to see the appearance of my Taiping City!" Qin Feng smiled. (To be continued.)
