Chapter 142

"Are they taller than Shizi?" Luo Qingqing's eyes Shi Linchu's height was already very high, and he subconsciously compared him.

"Shizi is about the same height as the people there, right?" Yuyun frowned and said uncertainly, "The Turks are really tall and big. ”

"That's it......" Luo Qingqing was obviously a little nervous, and swallowed his saliva, "Then they are not very good at fighting?"

"It's amazing. Yuyun nodded, the expression on his face was full of seriousness, "But they are not as good as the generals of the Zhenbei Army." ”

"Really?" Luo Qingqing's eyes lit up, "The Zhenbei Army is so powerful?"

"Of course. Yuyun's face was proud, "The Zhenbei Army has been guarding this city for decades, and has never let this city fall into the hands of the Turks, wasn't this the case here?"

"What was it like here?" Luo Qingqing had a lot of questions in his heart, but he could only ask patiently one by one.

"I'm afraid the little lady isn't from the south?" said a big man at the nearby table to Luo Qingqing with a smile.

"Uncle, how do you know I'm from the south?" Luo Qingqing showed a look of surprise, her official language was so good that almost no one could hear her accent.

The uncle took a sip of wine with a smile and ate two peanuts, "Who near this city doesn't know the heroic deeds of the Zhenbei Army, only you little ladies from the south will be so surprised." ”

"Really?" Luo Qingqing looked at the people around him and found that they were all looking at him with a smile, "What are the heroic deeds of the Zhenbei Army?"

"Don't talk far, let's talk about the first two years. "Uncle drank slowly," King Kang almost beat the Turkic royal court with the Zhenbei army. ”

"Not really. Another strong man also spoke, "It's a pity that the Turkic king is too spineless, and he sent a letter of surrender before he hit it." ”

"Why don't you say King Kang simply knocked down the Turkic court?" another young man said with pity, "At that time, the Turks will also be the territory of my Ye Dynasty." ”

When Feng Yueming heard this, she picked up the wine glass and took a shallow sip, frowning at the spicy taste, this taste was still a little irritating to her, but with this shallow sip, a thin flush rose on her face.

"Mademoiselle is not used to drinking this wine. Heming kept paying attention to Feng Yueming, "But do you want to change to other wine?"

"Nothing. Feng Yueming chuckled and shook her head, seeing Luo Qingqing listening to those guests talk about the deeds of the Zhenbei Army, her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her eyebrows and eyes were very gentle, "I just drink less and eat more vegetables." ”

"Spirits hurt your body, Miss must pay attention to your body. Heming persuaded softly.

"Don't worry, I know. Feng Yueming's voice was a little softer than usual.

"In the Turkic land, in addition to grass, there are cattle, sheep and horses, and every year in winter, people will starve to death, what is the use of beating them. The uncle obviously knows something about the Turks, "So the Turks have to beat us every year, isn't it just envy that we are well fed and warmly dressed?"

Feng Yueming looked out the window, I don't know when the fine snowflakes slowly fell, the border city was bitterly cold, when she came here, the snow was already thick on the ground, these days she can live comfortably thanks to Uncle Wu's careful arrangement, knowing that she is not used to the cold here, the charcoal fire in the house every day is burning, she has not been to Shi Linchu before, even if there is a charcoal fire, the cold is also permeated in the house.

"But I didn't expect that the Turks almost lost the royal court two years ago, and now they are here again. The other big man slapped the table with a flushed face.

Uncle shook his head and sighed, "That's why I came back early and didn't go there anymore." ”

"What does this big brother know?" a scholarly man began.

The people of the city here are fierce, even the scholars do not seem to be powerless, but with a fierce atmosphere.

"In the autumn, I heard that the Turkic grain harvest this year was 30% lower than in previous years. The uncle's voice was low, "I'm afraid that something will happen, so I didn't go again when I came back in the autumn, you know, the Turks have no food, but they will rob the passing merchants." ”

"I'm worried. Luo Qingqing looked at Feng Yueming puzzled.

"What?" Feng Yueming had a light smile on her face.

"Since this uncle can know that there is a shortage of food on the Turkic side, why doesn't the imperial court know?" Luo Qingqing's voice was not loud, but the people at several tables nearby all looked at Feng Yueming.

Feng Yueming didn't seem to care about these glances at all, and chuckled, "How do you know that the imperial court doesn't know about it?"

"Isn't it inevitable that the Turks will send troops since they are short of food?" Luo Qingqing looked confused, "I remember hearing you say before that the Turks harass our border every year. ”

"Hmm. Feng Yueming took another sip of wine, narrowing her eyes because of the spicy taste of the wine, but she was obviously in a very good mood, "That's right." ”

"Then this year, the Turks are seriously short of food. Luo Qingqing swallowed his saliva, "Isn't it inevitable that troops will be sent?"

"That's right. Feng Yueming nodded, admitting that Luo Qingqing's guess was correct, "But most of the troops of the Zhenbei Army are all staying in this city, and didn't Prince Kang come over early?"

"Then why does King Kang want to go back to Beijing?" Luo Qingqing was most curious about this, although she had just listened to a few words from this group of people, but she also knew how powerful King Kang was, and how much the people here respected King Kang.

"That's a long story. Feng Yueming chuckled, "And I don't know much about the things that involve the court." ”

"Is this girl from the capital?" The scholar who spoke before looked at Feng Yueming, and also saw that her bearing was not something that ordinary women would have.

"Hmm. Feng Yueming responded with a smile, "I really don't know." After a pause, the smile on his face became more obvious, "But don't you know that the imperial court doesn't know the prince?" This border city has always directly called King Kang the prince, "And if I'm not mistaken, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also stayed here for a year and a half." ”

Feng Yunkai is not a secret in this border city, he also picked up some interesting things in the border city when he returned to Beijing, when he first arrived in this side of the city, although the people here were respectful to him, they were also very unfamiliar, not to mention the army, the generals worshiped King Kang so much, when Shi Lin first came, he still had a fight, even if Feng Yunkai was the prince, this fight was inevitable, not to mention that Shi Linchu took the lead in fighting with him, he was beaten by Shi Linchu, and finally he and Shi Linchu lay in bed together for three days.
