In the evening, the duke returned to the mansion, with a little tiredness between his eyebrows, but the whole person still gave people a very majestic momentum, his words and deeds were sonorous and powerful, and the unique temperament of the military was shown in the duke's body to the fullest.

In order to welcome Yu Yan home, especially when Yu Yan actually brought so many friends, the Duchess was extremely happy, and specially instructed the servants to prepare a large table of sumptuous reception banquet for Yu Yan and his friends.

And the duchess also blamed Yu Yan for not notifying the family when he came back, and he could arrange for a servant to pick up the car, Li Xiangfeng had a relationship with the duchess, and of course he understood what the duchess was happy about.

After a brief conversation with the Duchess, the Duchess laughed loudly, shocking even the servants who had served for many years, and the Duchess was a person who paid great attention to her appearance, especially when there were many people.

Madame's elegant and noble temperament is absolutely not allowed to laugh in front of everyone, not to mention that two rows of white teeth are exposed, and the servants are shocked, but they are also more diligent in preparing for a sumptuous dinner.

After the Duke returned home, the huge dinner officially began.

Li Xiangfeng and the others were not lightly tossed by the magic teleportation array, and they teleported three times in a row before they arrived in Zhongjing City, and they did not enter the city in the middle. It's not that I'm not hungry, it's not that I don't have time for continuous teleportation, it's because I can't eat at all.

Although the magic teleportation array will instantly teleport people to a fixed node, it also has a drawback, that is, the person who is teleported will have dizziness and nausea side effects. Of course, this depends on the integration of personal physical strength, body and magic, like ordinary magicians, even if they rely on the magic teleportation array to continuously teleport, there is no problem in teleporting from one end of the continent to the other. It's like the dragon knight doesn't react badly in the air because of the dragon's flight.

When they arrived at the Duke's Palace, they saw such a large table of delicacies, and several people swallowed their saliva unconsciously, causing the Duchess to smile again.

"All right, all right, let's eat, not so much!" said the Duchess with a gentle smile.

But everyone still looks at me, I look at you, and finally stared at the duke's face.

"Hehe, madam, it seems that I don't eat it, these boys don't dare to eat it!" Yu Yuanzheng just sat down, and picked up a piece of cooked meat from the plate and put it on the plate in front of him.

"Okay, you guys eat, don't just look at me!" Yu Wuzheng rarely speaks at home with an official tone, which is no different from ordinary people, which is one of the reasons why everyone can let go.

At the time of the wind and clouds, several people patted their stomachs with satisfaction, during which Lei Tian had already loosened his belt a few times, and now when he had to loosen it, he found that it was already over.

Alberta, who was sitting next to Lei Tian, flipped at Lei Tian's hateful contempt.

To the servant's surprise, the Duke and Duchess actually talked to everyone during the meal, and they were very talkative, asking questions.

This was strange to the servant who served, but it was not surprising when he thought of the duchess's laughter just now.

"I'm full, you can eat again! Wait until Yan'er and Xiang Feng come to my study in the evening! I have something to say." After the Duke put the white cloth on the table, he got up and took leave.

"Sitting like a bell, standing like a pine, walking like the wind, holding like a bow!" Li Xiangfeng said as he looked at Duke Yu's disappearing figure.

"Okay Xiang Feng! Duke Yu is already gone, it's not easy for you to make a fool of yourself now, right?" Alberta sneered at Li Xiangfeng sourly.

"I'm just feeling, hehe!" Li Xiangfeng smiled, looked at the Duchess with a flattering expression and said, "Besides, the Duchess is still here, I'm not wasting it." ”

After saying that, everyone laughed.

After the duke left the table, several people showed a more lively atmosphere.

The atmosphere naturally became thick when it reached the extreme, and the duchess looked at Yu Yan smiling from time to time, and she was extremely emotional in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears in the frame and began to disrupt.

After saying goodbye to a few people, the Duchess hurried away.

After a long time, several people who were full of food and drink followed the servants to their respective rooms, and Julia specially asked for a large room to live with Qingyang Lanruo, and Qingyang Lanruo was also happy to stop Julia's arm and happily followed Julia back to the room.

Just as Lei Tian turned his head to look at Alberta, Alberta's face changed instantly, and he said with a disgusted expression: "Don't think about it! No way!" After speaking, he stepped into the room alone.

"You! I don't think so, I'm afraid that you will have to share a room with me! You, who wants to follow you, you want to be beautiful!" was so anxious that Lei Tian retorted with a red neck.

Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan came to the door of Duke Yu's study and gently knocked on the door.

After the sound came from inside, the two of them cautiously pushed the door in, Yu Yan rarely came to his father's study, unless his father had something important.

After coming to the study, he saw Duke Yu staring at a map hanging on the wall.

"Here, sit down!" Duke Yu began.

"Father!"

"Duke!"

Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan spoke at the same time, and after finding that the other party was talking at the same time, they stopped speaking at the same time.

"Hehe!" Duke Yu smiled, turned around and sat down in the chair, looking at the two of them.

"Are you going to ask why I called you here?" Duke Yu looked a little furrowed.

"You two boys are doing well! Especially Xiang Feng, that kid from Qin Jingshan can pick you, the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, it seems that that guy's eyes are still not blind!" Only Duke Yu's identity can tease King Zhennan so openly.

Hearing Duke Yu describe himself like this, Li Xiangfeng said with some restraint: "The duke thinks too highly of the juniors, it's just that the juniors are lucky!"

"Young man, modesty is right, but excessive modesty is a bit conceited and hypocritical! Manly man, yes yes! No, no, no! There is not so much pushing!" Duke Yu said angrily.

"Yes, the juniors know!" Li Xiangfeng replied sincerely.

Then Duke Yu let out a hearty laugh, pointed at Li Xiangfeng and said, "You kid!", at this time, his expression became a little serious, and he asked Li Xiangfeng: "At present, you have become a member of the Imperial Dragon Knight, and you also have the identity of a viscount, although it is a false name, but you have finally entered the threshold of the nobles!"

The more Li Xiangfeng listened, the more Duke Yu seemed to be about to say something important to himself, otherwise he wouldn't have been involved so much.

Sure enough, Duke Yu paused for a moment and asked, "How are you and Qin Jingshan's daughter?"

The people who ask about this matter are usually women, or people who are more gossipy will inquire about this, does Duke Yu want to tell himself about the matchmaker? Li Xiangfeng abandoned all the above ideas, Duke Yu must have something important.

"Junior, junior," Li Xiangfeng didn't know what to say. His face also became very ugly, and he was very depressed.

Simply said to the juniors: "Xin'er said to the juniors that she wanted to separate, but the juniors will not just give up, Tianxin must not be able to solve the knot." Li Xiangfeng began to talk as if he had already regarded the Duke as his elder.

"This Qin Jingshan can have such a quasi-son-in-law as you, he really has a vision! But he is a little blind in his heart!" After Li Xiangfeng finished speaking briefly, Duke Yu sighed.

"What does this mean, Duke?" Li Xiangfeng wondered.

At this time, Duke Yu got up and stood up, turned around and walked towards the map of the continent hanging on the wall, "You two come here!"

Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan got up and walked over, the map was extremely detailed, and the empires, races, mountains, forests, rivers, etc. were all marked in detail.

Duke Yu stood on the huge map and followed, giving people a feeling of "holding the map in Linyu", as if the world was in full control of the heroism.

At this time, Li Xiangfeng discovered that in the eastern part of the continent map, in the territory of the Wanqin Empire, there were several hand-drawn red circles that were glowing with a light red light.

Near the northern part of the Qilian Tianshan Mountains and the corner of the Great Wall of Ice, it is surrounded by red magic marks.

"Northwest region! The rebellion in Mozhou, Shazhou, and Xiliang has caused a very serious war, and last month, the newspaper over there drifted to Zhongjing City like snowflakes, and the imperial court was furious, and the military department commanded those fools to let the Snow Wolf Legion go south to quell the rebellion, and the first assistant of the cabinet actually agreed!" Duke Yu became more and more emotional, and his face became a little flushed.

In addition to being surprised that such an incident occurred in the northwest of the empire, Li Xiangfeng was even more worried in his heart, because what Duke Yu said just now had always revolved around himself and Qin Jingshan, and now when he talked about the major event of rebellion, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Do you know why those thieves rebelled?" Duke Yu asked, but he didn't seem to intend for Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan to answer, but immediately said: "What is written in the newspaper is that the rebels rebelled, killed the landlords and squires, stormed the county seat, and killed and robbed all the rich families in the city!"

"However, according to the information I have received, it is because there have been famines for many years, and after the floods, there is a drought, and there is no harvest for the whole year, and the materials and grain for the imperial court disaster relief have been exploited layer by layer in various places, and there is not much left. Under the imperial court's tax exemption documents, there are still some places where Emperor Shangao secretly collects taxes from refugees....." Duke Yu gushed out.

With Duke Yu's narration, Li Xiangfeng gradually understood what happened.

In the year 292 of the continental calendar, a severe drought occurred in Mozhou, the western border region of the empire, and there was not a drop of rain for almost a year, and the grass and trees were scorched by the scorching sun, and the people had no harvest.

In August and September of that year, the people of Mozhou, who were hungry and crazy, ran into the mountains in groups, picking fluffy grass to eat, this kind of plant that is usually used as hogweed is not easy to digest after eating, there is a feeling of satiety, and the hungry people can survive for several days, surviving for a long time.

Beginning in October, the dry grass was eaten by the hungry people, and the hungry people began to peel the elm bark to eat, and the elm bark was extremely bitter, so the supply was still in short supply.
