"This is Qingyang City?" The man in casual clothes in his thirties looked at the city tower that was getting closer and closer in front of him with some surprise, and he couldn't believe that the decay and depression of Qingyang a few years ago was gone, replaced by such a majestic large city, just from the flow of people coming and going around the city gate, you can see the prosperity here, as for the city, you should be able to imagine the prosperity inside.

"Yes, General. The attendant next to him replied respectfully.

Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, although he was already quite mentally prepared, after all, he had already been greatly shocked when he passed through Vito City, but it was a sad place for his motherland, and he didn't want to stay too much, so he just glanced at it in a hurry, and the big city in front of him did bring him a huge impact.

The endless flow of caravans, the hurried travelers from all over the country, the good road facilities, the looming city defense buildings, the list goes on. The color of the people alone can tell that the changes here are enormous, far from being comparable to the dilapidated town of the past, and it can also be seen from the clothing that the living conditions of the inhabitants here are far greater than when they came here to learn about the situation. With such a sea change in just a few years, you can't help but admit that the person who created it all is an unusual guy.

"Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng, I haven't met you on the battlefield, but with such changes in Qingyang City in the past few years, I can't be convinced. With a light sigh, the man in his thirties grabbed the reins of the horse and took the horse, looking at the scene in front of him and muttering to himself.

"General, let's go into the city, it's not too early. Seeing that his master had been sitting on his horse in a daze, the attendant couldn't help but say.

"Yes, it's really not early, if you don't hurry up, you will really miss a big deal if you delay it any longer. Let's go, go to the city and find an inn to stay. The man sitting on the horse nodded thoughtfully, his words were very meaningful, of course, the attendants could not understand it.

"General?" the attendant looked at his master with some surprise, "we should go to the inn, where the facilities and security are much more secure." ”

"I don't need you to tell me where to go, I have a point, let's go. The man's face turned cold and said unceremoniously.

"Yes, General. The attendant quickly replied.

"Also, when you enter the city, you are not allowed to call me a general, but you must call your master, remember?" said the man, urging his horse forward.

"The villain understands, master. The attendant replied obediently.

The night was deep, the moon was dark and the stars were scarce, the man never fell asleep, what he saw and heard during the day really opened his eyes, is this really the Qingyang who was disdainful a few years ago? Needless to say, the magnificent and sturdy city wall is a necessary facility for the survival of a central city, no matter who controls it, no matter how much money and manpower and material resources are spent, this must be guaranteed, although he is a little surprised, but not surprised. But after spending almost half a day observing the city's other industrial, commercial and civic facilities, he had to sit down and reconsider.

This is already a large city of considerable size, at least in Luzon, maybe not as big as Robin City, but it is not much different from the original Giasi City. You must know that a few years ago this was a dilapidated and impoverished border town, but compared with its current prosperity and wealth, what a thousand miles away? The large and complete trade market, the wide and clean streets, the buildings of different styles, the thriving shops, the various workshops and workshops that are in full swing, the large and small caravans that travel from all over the mainland, and the enthusiastic and thoughtful investment promotion agencies all show that the city is in a period of thriving and rapid development.

Although he couldn't observe the training status of the army here, and the heavily guarded military area and other idlers couldn't approach it at all, he could hear the roaring and earth-shattering training shouts in the arena from a distance, and he could also imagine that this army would not be far behind. The loose and tight precautions inside and outside Qingyang City may not be easy to feel by business travelers and local residents, but as a special observer, he can detect it, of course, he doesn't know if the city has always been in this state.

In short, all this made him shocked and a little afraid, such a region full of vitality and vitality can be imagined at the speed of development, compared to his own country seems to have a bit of a feeling of twilight, maybe just like he suggested to his cousin, Li Wufeng will not take care of the Central Continent in the short term, but what about the future? Fit's far-sighted concern may be correct, but it is not suitable for the current actual situation, the power is not as good as the people, and his own side has no choice now.

Thinking of this, the man felt even more upset, it is true that the speed of development and growth of this dangerous neighbor has given him a deep sense of crisis, but he cannot think of a good way to contain or defend against this threat, which cannot but make him feel anxious.

That's it, that's it, don't think too far, just like his own words to comfort Frederick, Li Wufeng's main target is in the east, and the huge Tang River Empire in the east, even if he is smooth sailing, he may not be able to succeed if he is given twenty years, not to mention the Liboya countries in the north, the Maqi Khans in the south, and the two major feudal towns within the Tang River people and the Taiping Sect that is emerging now, which one does not seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, so can these problems be easily solved? With a buffer of decades, who knows what will become of this continent?

The wrinkles on the man's forehead slowly dissipated, at least for now, an alliance between his side and Li Wufeng should be regarded as the best policy, this alliance can relieve both sides of their worries, and it should be a win-win choice for both sides, but I don't know if the other party will see this, will it tolerate the shame of tearing up the treaty and seizing Northwest Luzon and annihilating a division of the army?

He himself did not dare to say that he was sure of this, after all, as far as he knew, this was the heaviest setback and defeat suffered by Li Wufeng since his debut, and a soldier who has always valued honor will never easily forgive the enemies who have betrayed and hurt him, and Crouff knows very well.

I can only hope that Li Wufeng can have a broad mind and a keen eye, since the rumors have blown him to the sky, I believe that he and his subordinates will not be too disappointing, at this time Kluff felt how heavy the burden his cousin gave him.

"Oh, the Luzon envoy has entered the city?" Wu Feng, who had already been on the chuang, had to tidy up his clothes and struggle out of the physical entanglement of several women on the bed, although it was very disappointing, but the girls on the bed knew that if it was not a very important matter, the people from the security department and the internal affairs department would not come to the door together, so they had to smile apologetically at their beloved women, and reluctantly returned to the study.

"Well, there are only two people who have come, but it can be seen that the appearance of the people who come is different from the ordinary people, neither like a single businessman, and it seems that there are not too many travelers going out at this time, and the fellow's attendant has spoken from time to time, and our people have heard the other call the man an adult instead of a master, which is particularly obvious. ”

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction, "So this guy hasn't lived in the post house yet, but he went to the inn outside to live incognito?"

"And '''''' sir?"

"Leave him alone, just let him go, just keep an eye on it. He won't be able to survive for long. Wu Feng replied with a firm expression, "The Bega people have also arrived, and it seems that the show is about to begin." ”

Just when several parties in Qingyang City were in full swing to prepare for the upcoming negotiations, the battle situation in Jieluo, which had been as calm as water, finally changed dramatically.

On March 9, 696 in the continental calendar, the Kamans gathered nearly 200,000 troops and suddenly launched a fierce offensive in Geroku. On March 12, the Kaman army once again broke through the defense line that had not yet been fully consolidated by the coalition army, and annihilated more than 20,000 coalition troops in one fell swoop in the middle of the Bode Plain, 160 miles west of Merrington, the capital of the Principality of Gerok.

However, the vast sky does not seem to take into account the painful feelings of the Gerok people and the empire at all, on March 13, the heavy army of Kaman under the leadership of the number one general of Karman, Duke Nick, launched an attack on the most important city in the northeast of the Principality of Gerlok near the city of Van Lin, within three days, the coalition forces in dozens of miles outside the city of Van Lin were uprooted and swept away, and the remnants of the coalition army were forced to retreat into the city of Van Lin, on March 18, the army of Kman completed the deployment and firmly besieged the city of Van Lin in all directions, in fact, the city of Van Lin has become a lonely city that cannot be contacted by the outside world, and the city is already a matter of time。 And once the city of Verlin is conquered, then the situation of Gerlok's capital Merrington will be the same as the current city of Verlin, and it will definitely fall in the footsteps.

All of this happened at an unpredictable time, and even Li Wufeng, who was sitting in Qingyang, did not expect that the problem he had been worried about would happen at this time, but everything seemed to be under no one's control, and the wheels of history were moving in the established direction.
