Seeing that Lin Xiuming was about to go crazy, Li Feng hurriedly said, "General Lin, don't worry about it first, we don't have to be too nervous." ”

"There are at most five thousand barbarian soldiers in the distance, and even if they attack the city, they will not be able to attack it."

"And there's a good chance they're not here to attack the city."

Seeing that Li Feng didn't care about it, Lin Xiuming asked suspiciously, "General Li, how do you know that they are not here to attack the city?" ”

Li Feng replied: "After the army of the King of Beixian was repelled by us, they sent thousands of people to harass us from time to time, but they basically only shouted, did not attack the city, and probably wanted to fight psychological warfare. ”

"I guess they won't wait until at least the beginning of spring next year for the Northern Xian King's army to attack Tianguang City again."

Hearing Li Feng's answer, Lin Xiuming looked at Li Feng suspiciously.

At this time, Li Feng said to Lin Xiuming's soldiers: "Don't attack, now there is a shortage of bows and arrows, we will use arrows sparingly, and we will attack when the barbarians attack the city." ”

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, a barbarian came to the city on horseback and shouted in the Great Xia dialect with a barbarian accent: "Our king said, let the king of the north hand over his princess immediately, and compensate us with ten million taels of silver, otherwise in the spring of the next year, our tribe of the king of Beixian will gather a million troops to go south." ”

"When the time comes, wherever the barbarian warriors go, there will be no grass and rivers of blood."

As soon as the barbarian soldier finished shouting, thousands of barbarian cavalry in the distance got up and shouted: "There is no grass, and there is a river of blood!" ”

"No grass grows, blood flows like a river!!"

……

Then the barbarian soldier said some ugly things, insulting the Great Xia people as two-legged sheep, cowardly, afraid to go out, only dare to stay in the sheepfold.

When the court soldiers brought by Lin Xiuming heard those words, they all wanted to shoot the barbarian soldier to death with one arrow, but they were not impulsive, after all, the general had not given the order yet, and their unauthorized attacks would be dealt with by military law.

At this time, Lin Xiuming noticed a strange phenomenon.

When Li Feng came to look for him just now, he was panicked, looking like the barbarian army was about to come in, but now he was standing on the city wall like a nobody.

Not only him, but also the soldiers who stayed behind in North County.

Only the soldiers he brought with him were like facing a great enemy.

It was as if the barbarian siege had nothing to do with the soldiers of their northern county.

It's weird, it's weird......

Lin Xiuming simply didn't care, and directly handed over the command of the battlefield to Li Feng, and let Li Feng decide whether to attack or not.

Li Feng stood on the tower like this until the barbarian soldiers finished shouting and left.

For a long time after that, the barbarian cavalry came to Tianguang City every once in a while, but they only shouted and did not attack.

Later, Lin Xiuming heard the soldier's report that there was a barbarian attack, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Lin Xiuming was not a fool, he could also see that those barbarians had no intention of attacking Tianguang City at all, and it was not even certain whether they were barbarians or not.

However, as a general sent by the Great Xia Imperial Court to support, Lin Xiuming still wrote a battle report of everything he saw and sent it to the capital.

Of course, some of the details he did not write into the war report.

Half a month later.

Skylight City.

Li Feng was tidying up things in his room, when a soldier from Beijun entered the room and whispered: "General, the prince is really like a god, and someone really digs a grave." ”

Hearing this, Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at the door, and after making sure that the soldiers from Beijun were all at the door, he asked, "How much soil have you turned over?" ”

The soldier replied, "My subordinates have taken a look, and there are about twenty of them, each of which is about one square meter in size. ”

Hearing the soldier's answer, Li Feng said: "The imperial court really doesn't worry about Beijun, but this shouldn't be Lin Xiuming's intention, it is most likely that the spies planted in the army by the imperial court did it." ”

The reason why Lu Chen asked people to change all the clothes of those barbarian corpses into the clothes worn by the Great Xia people was mainly to prevent someone from digging graves to determine the identity of those dead.

To be honest, Lu Chen didn't think that the army brought by Lin Xiuming would do such a thing, nor did he think that Lin Xiuming would dig graves to determine the identity of those corpses.

Regardless of whether the soldiers of the Northern County were buried in that mound or not, at least nominally the Black Cavalry of the Northern County, and nominally they were all killed for the Northern County and for the Great Xia.

If it were known that their graves had been dug up, it would have a bad impact.

Lu Chen asked people to change the clothes of the corpses, purely to speculate on those soldiers in Lin Xiuming's army with the greatest malice, in his opinion, even if Lin Xiuming did not verify the idea of whether those corpses were black cavalry, it was very likely that some of the people brought by Lin Xiuming would do so.

As a result, Lu Chen had only left Tianguang City for half a month, and he hadn't even returned to Yancheng, and the grave had really been dug up, but at this time, it would not be so easy to verify whether those graves were buried in Daxia.

Although the corpses are not easy to decay in winter, they are buried in the soil, and there are some changes, even if the corpses are frozen, plus the soil is contaminated, it is not easy to determine whether those soldiers are barbarians or Great Xia.

The soldier then asked, "General, do we need to do something?" ”

Li Feng said lightly: "You don't have to do anything, just let our people take care of their mouths, don't talk nonsense, if you leak your mouth, the consequences will be clear to them." ”

The soldiers of Beijun who are still in Tianguang City are all personally selected by Lu Chen, and these soldiers are very loyal and will not betray Beijun easily.

On the surface, they were assisting Lin Xiuming in guarding Tianguang City, but in fact, their role was to monitor the imperial court's 20,000 troops.

Of course, their biggest role is to cooperate with those Beijun soldiers who play barbarians.

Those soldiers who came to Tianguang City every day to check in and curse were all the army of Great Xia, anyway, the war was over, and there was nothing to do in winter, so Lu Chen arranged tasks for Mu Changtian and his son and Xiao Pengtian, so that they could come to Tianguang City from time to time to harass the army of the imperial court, creating a false impression that the king of Beixian was not dead.

Meanwhile.

Yancheng.

Lu Chen rode a horse, looked at the north gate of Yancheng, and sighed in his heart: "I'm finally back." ”

Heavy snow closed the road, and the distance that could have been completed in a few days ended up being half a month away from Lu Chen and the soldiers of Beijun.

Lu Chen didn't want to scold the King of Beixian who was already a ghost under the gun, after all, everyone was already dead.

At this time, Lu Chen couldn't help but have an idea, if the barbarians were all brains like the King of Beixian, wouldn't it be very easy for him to control those barbarian tribes in the North in the future?

Just when Lu Chen was out of his mind, Qin Yushan and Li Rui led the officials of Yancheng to the city gate to greet Lu Chen.

"Congratulations to the triumph of the prince!"

Although they said to the outside world that the heavy cavalry in Beijun was gone, the people of Luchen basically knew that the black cavalry had nothing to do, and they fought a big victory with zero casualties in Beijun this time.

Lu Chen came back to his senses, rode his horse and quickly went to the city gate, he asked Qin Yushan on the side while riding a horse, "Commander Qin, nothing major has happened in Yancheng in the past few days, right?" ”

Qin Yushan followed Lu Chen's horses as he walked and reported on the situation in Yancheng.

"Back to the prince, there has been no major incident in Yancheng recently."

"However, there are some information subordinates who have not sent it to Tianguang City in time, and their subordinates will report to the prince first."

"In the past few days, there have been a lot of martial arts merchants in Yancheng, and the disciples of Xuanyue Palace have also increased significantly."

Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, it will take some time for Jinyiwei's intelligence to reach Tianguang City, so Lu Chen doesn't know if anything has happened in Yancheng in the past few days.

He rode his horse and slowly advanced while listening to Qin Yushan's report.

When Lu Chen walked to the gate of the palace, Qin Yushan's information was not much to report, Lu Chen glanced at his wives and concubines at the gate of the palace, turned his head slightly and said to Qin Yushan: "Commander Qin, you go and get busy." ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will retire."

After Qin Yushan left, Lu Chen immediately got off his horse and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Mu Zixuan immediately surrounded Lu Chen's women, and Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiao Zhou threw themselves into Lu Chen's arms together.

Mu Zixuan said: "Lord Wang, you are finally back, we have been very worried about you since we heard the news of the destruction of the Black Cavalry. ”

Feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, Lu Chen smiled slightly, patted the backs of the three beauties and said, "Don't worry, ladies, I'm fine." ”

At this time, Lu Chen's eyes fell on Lin Wanyun's body, Lin Wanyun stood far away, but her eyes kept on him, as if she was planning something.

Lu Chen listened to Qin Yushan's report just now, and had already guessed what Xuanyue Palace was going to do next.

Xuanyue Palace thinks that the destruction of the Black Cavalry is an opportunity for Xuanyue Palace, an opportunity to get close to the Northern Palace, and it seems that it won't be long before Xuanyue Palace will find a way to negotiate cooperation with itself.

After Lu Chen's gaze swept from Lin Wanyun, it fell on Chu Yuqin, Chu Yuqin looked at him with a worried face, obviously she wanted to come over and ask about her situation, but Chu Yuqin was still standing next to Chu Qingli, which made Chu Yuqin dare not get too close, so as to avoid her sister from thinking wildly.

Looking at these women surrounding Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin felt empty in her heart at this time.

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall that when she was in the capital before, when she was in the capital, there were not so many women by Lu Chen's side.

Every time Lu Chen came back from outside, she was the only one who greeted him.

Now it's different from the past, now that Lu Chen has grown up, has started a family, and has a group of wives and concubines, she, the woman who has always been by Lu Chen's side, has become a marginal person, and there is no way to get close to Lu Chen.

As soon as she thought of this, Chu Yuqin felt sullen in her heart.

At this time, Lu Chen's gaze withdrew from Chu Yuqin, and then looked at Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

Although Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao also leaned over, the two of them looked a little twisted, just standing next to Mu Zixuan and them, unlike Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiaozhou who directly threw themselves into Lu Chen's arms.

The two of them just married into the palace, and although their feelings for Lu Chen are already very strong, but because Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiaozhou are here, it is not easy for them to pounce directly.

If you pounce directly, wouldn't it be a competition for favor, the two know their identities very well, so they restrained the impulse in their hearts.

Looking at Lu Chen's handsome face, Yelu Nanyan smiled slightly, after she heard that the black cavalry was destroyed, she thought that something was going to happen to Beijun, but nothing happened in the end.

To be honest, she didn't believe that the King of Beixian had the strength to defeat the black cavalry of Beijun, and even the 300,000 army of the King of Heavenly Wolf was not the opponent of Beijun and those black cavalry, how could the King of Beixian be the opponent of Beijun, she still had some understanding of the strength of the Beixian King tribe.

At a glance, you can tell that this little man is engaged in some kind of conspiracy.

And looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like he has suffered a defeat.

Now that Yelu Nanyan has been completely integrated into the Northern Palace, if Lu Chen really loses the battle, she will not be happy, after all, this little man is already her husband.

And the life of Beiwangfu has always been what she yearns for, and she doesn't want to see her beautiful life destroyed.

At this time, Lu Chen said with a smile: "My ladies, when I come back from the battle, you won't even let me enter the palace." ”

Mu Zixuan and the important women of the palace all came to the gate of the palace, and the maids of the palace also stood at the door, which made the entire gate of the palace full of people, and Lu Chen couldn't get in.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan in Lu Chen's arms suddenly sobered up, and hurriedly said to the maid at the gate of the palace: "It's all gone, and everyone is busy going their own way." ”

"Lord, let's go back to the main hall first, now the palace has been renovated."

Lu Chen said curiously: "Completed the transformation? Is there already a conservatory? ”

When Lu Chen went north, he told Mo Fei about his palace renovation plan, and planned to let the two of them help watch the renovation of the palace conservatory.

Calculating the time, it has been more than two months since they went north, and the renovation of the greenhouse should have been completed.

Mu Zixuan said: "Well, most of the rooms in the palace are not cold now, especially the main hall of the palace, which is very warm. ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go and see if the renovation of the greenhouse meets my expectations." ”

Then Lu Chen took his wives and concubines to the main hall, as soon as he entered the main hall, he felt a warm current, the cold feeling dissipated instantly, and the whole hall was very warm.

The reason why the main hall is so warm is because there is a passage for smoke under the main hall, and there is a coal-burning room outside, which is similar to the principle of the kang, but the main hall is relatively large, and more coal will be consumed every day.

Lu Chen turned his head to look at Xiao Zhou and asked, "Yoyo, has your room also been renovated?" ”

The main hall is where Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan live, if it is just renovated here, then his other women will not be able to enjoy it.

Zhou Youyou replied: "Lord, most of the rooms in the palace have been transformed into conservatories, and the North Courtyard is no exception. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen said, "Then I'll be relieved." ”

Entering the main hall, Mu Zixuan and the others sat on their knees, all gathered next to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen snuggled up with them and chatted about some things in Tianguang City.

At this time, Chu Yuqin was standing outside the courtyard of the main hall, looking at the warm scene in the main hall, she couldn't help but sigh.

Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin with a puzzled expression, "Sister, what are you sighing for?" ”

Chu Yuqin came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, I just thought of some things in the past." ”

"Okay, it's okay now, you can go on patrol too."

Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin suspiciously, but she didn't think much about it.

Although Lu Chen, a womanizer, has returned, there are so many women around him, and his sister has no way to get along with Lu Chen alone, so Chu Qingli is still relieved of Chu Yuqin for the time being.

After Lu Chen chatted with his wives and concubines for a while, he went to the study.

There is a lot of information backlogged in the study, but most of it is to listen to the information of Yulou, unlike Jinyiwei, the information of Jinyiwei basically has to be sent to Lu Chen's hands as soon as possible, but most of the information from Tingyulou is sent to Lu Chen's study.

Lu Chen wanted to know the current trends of the major dynasties, especially what the Dayue Dynasty was doing recently.

As soon as Lu Chen walked to the door of the study, he saw an outstanding figure.

There was a trace of worry on her face, a hint of expectation, and a blank look.

She lingered at the door of the study, as if she were patrolling, but she was more like waiting for someone to arrive.
