Chapter 109: On the Eve of the Northern Expedition

When it's dark.

The streets of the city are bustling with activity, many shops have opened early, and you can see hawkers everywhere in the streets. People who are busy with their livelihood gather in twos and threes, buy some food around the breakfast stalls, and talk while eating.

On the side of the street, a bland storefront, steaming white steam in the steamer, seeing that the white-flour steamed buns are about to come out of the cage, the rich proprietress is warmly entertaining the guests.

“…… Two large bowls of wontons, six steamed buns, and a few dishes of home-cooked side dishes. Qin Feng, who was dressed in casual clothes, sat down at the wooden table by the window and said in a casual tone.

"Okay, wait a minute, the two guest officers will be fine right away." A fellow obediently answered.

After a while, the steaming wontons were served, and then the meat buns and vegetables were also served one after another.

Qin Feng ate two and was satisfied with the taste, although the store was not big, it was clean and tidy, the store was kind, the amount of meat filling was very sufficient, and it was very fresh.

"I really can't imagine that the dignified national teacher and the town of the country will also come to such a small place to eat, don't you feel that you have lost your identity?" Yun Qijun on the opposite side glanced at him and whispered.

"As long as the food is delicious, is it really that important? You're also a successful cultivator, so you won't even be able to understand this truth, right? Qin Feng asked with a smile.

Must you eat well to have status and status? Not necessarily. The Taizu of the current dynasty in the main world has never paid attention to anything in this regard, wearing coarse cloth clothes, a bowl of braised pork, not talking about hypocrisy and taste, but still pointing out the country and promoting words, and deciding the fate of all people.

It's not that the presidential suite of a five-star hotel doesn't live there, it's not high-end Western food, you don't even look at the drinks priced below tens of thousands, you have to travel in a top luxury car, and even looking for a woman has to be a young model star to be satisfied.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little weird."

Yun Qijun said slowly: "There are groups of beautiful wives and concubines in the mansion waiting for you to accompany you, it's good for you to pull people out early in the morning to hang out, what do you want to do?" ”

"Because ......"

Qin Feng's expression was a little stunned: "I won't stay in this world for too long, so I want to go out and take a look often, otherwise there will be fewer and fewer opportunities in the future." ”

"What?"

Yun Qijun's mouth opened slightly, and he looked incredulous: "I heard it right, right? You're leaving this world? Don't forget that you have just created a great foundation, the Taishang King of Chu State, such a great power, you can actually let it go? ”

"Don't forget, we're the same kind of people."

Qin Feng said faintly: "You know that I don't belong to this realm, so naturally I can't stay here for a long time, and sooner or later I will have to leave." ”

Yun Qijun stared at him deeply, and his expression straightened: "What is the reason?" And you just say go, what should people do? What about your inheritance? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I should have two or three years left, at least after the world is unified. And it's not like you can't come back after you leave, but when you want to come back to see you, you can do it at any time. ”

Qin Feng explained: "I have my mission and goals, and I can't say much about the specific reasons now, but you will naturally know in the future." ”

Yun Qijun breathed a sigh of relief, if Qin Feng only left temporarily, then there was nothing to worry about. The opportunity for his future detachment will have to fall on him, if he really runs away quietly, where can he catch him?

She thought for a while, lowered her voice and said, "The patriarch sent a message last night, saying that he sensed the signs of loosening the law barrier and decided to retreat and participate in enlightenment. Is there really any hope of breaking through the realm of true immortals? ”

"That's how it should be."

Qin Feng was not surprised at all, the origin of the world's will was damaged, and there was a considerable gap in the control of the laws of heaven and earth in this realm, so the difficulty of the monks breaking through the realm was no longer the same.

He sensed the situation in Yun Qijun's body and said, "Your cultivation is also improving very quickly, maybe it won't take a few years to touch the threshold of true immortals." ”

Yun Qijun's face was slightly red, and she hesitated for a moment and said: "I myself have this feeling, when I stay with you, it seems to be very easy to practice, what is the reason, don't you know?" ”

Qin Feng said: "That's because after refining the will of the world, part of the authority of this realm has been transferred to my hands, although it is only a small part, it is enough to improve personal cultivation." ”

Yun Qijun's beautiful eyes lit up, staring at him up and down, his eyes were complicated and inexplicable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Feng was already full at the moment, put down his chopsticks and said to her: "Accompany me to the north another day, there are still some remnants of the nine sects, and they will all be exterminated one by one." In the future, Ling Cangshan will be the first gate in this realm. ”

"yes, okay."

Yun Qijun obediently agreed, Qin Feng's words meant that he would be the first person in the cultivation world in the future, and his status was not much higher than that of Ling Cangshan's master.

In the next month, Jinling City was very calm, but due to Qin Feng's disturbances in the Luojing Imperial Capital last time, the general trend of the world has changed drastically again.

The emperor died unexpectedly, and the civil and military officials in the Great Qi court were at a loss for a while, and many careerists were thinking about the supreme throne of power.

Many princes of the clan who had no sense of existence before became active, and each used various means to win over the powerful ministers in the court, and the generals who held military power, and actively connected to build momentum, hoping to win opportunities for their ascension.

They all seem to have forgotten that when the dynasty collapses in the future, no matter who the next generation of true dragon emperors is, they will not let go of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and even the clan and royal family will not let go of the stricter methods.

Today's imperial court is turbulent, internal and external troubles, and it is not known whether Guozuo can continue for a few days.

Of course, the country cannot be without a king for a day, no matter what some people think in their hearts, after many rounds of secret games and interest exchanges, after more than half a month, the Great Qi court finally elected a new emperor: a thirteen-year-old child, who is the cousin of the previous emperor.

The intentions of the ministers are obvious, help a child to be a puppet, and the real power is still held by a few important ministers, and everyone shares the benefits together.

However, whether it is the treasury of the palace or the treasury of the household department, it has been completely emptied by Qin Feng, and in the face of the dilemma of having no rice to cook, it is impossible for these ministers to take out their own family funds to share the worries of the imperial court.

So the little emperor ascended the throne for a month, and the ministers talked about it in the court every day, but nothing was done, but they just wanted to do things, and there was no silver in the treasury, what else could I do?

Such a court, which can't even pay military salaries, is already majestic and sweeping for the princes of the world, and has no deterrent effect. The state of Chu in the south no longer had any worries, and began to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

In May, Song Xu in Shu fell ill and died, and civil strife broke out immediately, and several sons each recruited a group of officials and cronies, controlled part of the military power, and then fought inextricably.

Zhao Yuanjin immediately sent envoys to Shu with heavy gifts and gifts, and successfully bribed several important generals as internal responses, and then sent 20,000 elites as the vanguard, and the main army of 100,000 then set off, smoothly entering and occupying many counties, and the soldiers pointed directly at Chengdu.

At this time, Song Xu's three sons panicked, and finally decided to temporarily put aside their grievances and join forces to meet the Chu army. In any case, after the foreign enemy was driven out first, the brothers could continue to fight for power with confidence.

At the end of June, the armies of both sides fought a decisive battle under the capital of Chengcheng, and as a result, the three sons died and fled, and the Chu army won a complete victory, successfully taking the political and economic center of Shu, and then taking over all the territory controlled by Song Xu during his lifetime.

By August, the entire territory of Shu had been successfully controlled by the Chu army, and the territory of Chu at this time was basically equivalent to the Southern Song Dynasty in later generations.

Of course, when the Chu army attacked Shuzhong, the princes of the northern feudal towns were not idle, Ye Mingce, who occupied Youzhou, Wei Khotan, who occupied Bingzhou, Li Wencong, who occupied half of Qingzhou, and several small and medium-sized princes, as well as several powerful Hu tribes on the grassland, each of them joined forces vertically and horizontally, and the battle was in full swing.

In such a melee situation, the time entered the end of September, and the Chu army, which had digested Shuzhong, finally completed all preparations and began to point its troops to the north.
