Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Passing Years

"Rest?"

Xiao Feng was stunned for a while.

Xiao Xing complained: "That's right. Since my sister's incident, it has been a little large-scale today, and it has been 20 years. Although my sister is accomplished and her appearance is not old, but people's energy is already limited, if she only relies on her sister's strength, how can she support the huge Red Phoenix Army?"

Counting the days, Xiao Feng has been twenty years since the incident in Shaohua.

And in these long years, although Xiao Feng has cultivated the power of the earth immortal and has the ability to live forever, he can't withstand the passage of time, and he has gradually become powerless.

Looking sideways, Xiao Feng suddenly saw the person in the bronze mirror, although his face was dignified and quiet, he was still radiant, but the corners of his eyes were covered with fine lines, but he was also tired.

"I didn't expect that time had passed so long, and in the blink of an eye, I had become an aunt?" With a wry smile, Xiao Feng was only sad.

Since entering Chang'an, in order to stabilize the foundation of the Red Phoenix Army, Xiao Feng has worked hard day and night, and it has taken ten years to make the huge Chang'an return to its usual prosperous state.

But the years were devastating, but she unknowingly gave up her youth as well.

"Auntie?"

Xiao Xing screamed, and when he saw Xiao Feng's sad appearance, he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly comforted: "My sister is laughing." After all, where in this world, where is such a beautiful aunt? If my sister walks on Chang'an Avenue, I think that if I want to marry my sister, it will be like a carp crossing the river, and it is innumerable!"

Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows and scolded with a smile: "You." It's nonsense again. Just like me, how can anyone want to marry me!"

Regardless of the fact that her mind is all on the military affairs of the Red Phoenix Army, even if she already has someone in her heart, how can she get married easily in such a situation?

"That's just as well. After all, my sister is talented and peerless, where can I find a man who can match my sister?" Xiao Xing smiled, but there was a bit of gloom in his eyes.

When she was a child, she was influenced by pure Confucianism, so she naturally knew that the relationship between herself and Xiao Feng was not normal at the moment, so she always resisted.

If she is alone, it is fine, but if Xiao Feng is implicated, so that she is also alone, it is not what Xiao Xing wants.

Xiao Feng's heart moved, his eyebrows swept away, and he already knew the other party's thoughts, so he stretched out his hand, but he held Xiao Xing's jade hand, and said with a smile: "Man, haven't I lived well all these years?

Xiao Xing pursed his lips and whispered, "But sister." If you go on like this, then they ......"

"What are they? It's just a little gossip, I'm used to hearing it, so why should I take it to heart!" Xiao Fenglang laughed and said: "What's more, I'm the master of one side, if I can't even make decisions about marriage, then do they still think I'm the commander of the Red Phoenix Army?"

Over the years, her subordinates have not mentioned it.

It's just that these discussions have all been forced down by Xiao Feng, and if anyone talks about it, they will be reprimanded at best, and they will be expelled from Chang'an directly.

It can be said that this is also an insistence of Xiao Feng.

No one is allowed to put their beak in the matter of their feelings!

Xiao Xing sighed secretly, but said, "Sister." You're still so stubborn!"

"Otherwise, why can I come to this day?" Xiao Feng smiled deeply, although it was the beginning of the morning, she was already exhausted, so she took Xiao Xing's hand and said, "Today's trivial matters, leave them to Xiao Jingmao for the time being, I'll rest for a while." With that, he had already pulled Xiao Xing to the side of the bed and prepared to go to bed.

"Xiao Jingmao, is my sister interested in the current chairmanship?" Xiao Xing was not in a hurry, and asked again.

Since the Red Phoenix Army stepped on the right track, Xiao Xing began to withdraw from the political situation because of his calm temperament and dislike of arguing.

Xiao Feng bowed his head slightly and said, "That's right." After all, seven years ago, he was in charge of the Battle of Irikawa, and he was the choice of the people in terms of military merits and merits, so he was naturally qualified to serve as the prime minister of the Government Council. In order to familiarize himself with the affairs of the DPRK and China, he should also begin to familiarize himself with how to deal with them. ”

After all, she is also nearly forty years old, if she does not prepare for the heir in advance.

Then after a hundred years of her, won't the Red Phoenix Army have no successor?

After finishing speaking, Xiao Feng had already taken off his clothes and lay on the bed, and when he put his head on the pillow, he was already full of sound.

"It seems that sister, have you noticed this too?"

Xiao Xing smiled lightly, seeing that Xiao Feng's eyebrows were always frowning, he stretched out his hand and gently **, wanting to brush away the fine lines.

However, this fine line was too stubborn, no matter how hard she tried, it was difficult to brush it off after all, so she had to give up and go to bed with Xiao Feng.

Such a scene of yin and yang being reversed is also a common thing.

............

Government Council.

Stepping into the political hall, Yang Chenglong immediately frowned and asked, "Where is the lord?"

It's just that sitting in the seat that belongs to the prime minister has become a different person.

Xiao Jingmao raised his head and said with a smile: "My lord, she worked too hard last night, so she will rest in the pavilion." You also know that the Phoenix Pavilion has always been listed as a forbidden place, and even we have never stepped into it. ”

"So that's the case?" Yang Chenglong was slightly annoyed.

After all, he had been preparing for a long time last night, and he wanted to be able to see Xiao Feng today, but unexpectedly, he suffered an accident and lost this opportunity.

Xiao Jingmao smiled again: "It's just that you came here today, isn't it for the matter of the railroad?"

"That's right! After all, the railroad from Tongguan to Chang'an has just been completed, and preparations are being made for the completion ceremony. So I hope that the lord will be there and give some guidance. It's a pity that the lord needs to rest, and it's really helpless to miss this matter. Yang Chenglong replied.

He began to work on this matter after the evacuation of the Chifeng Army from Sichuan and Shu, and after several years, the railroad was finally built.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Chenglong wanted to meet Xiao Feng and explain the matter.

When Xiao Jingmao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Oh? I thought this matter would be difficult to do, but I didn't expect you to succeed?"

Chang'an to Tongguan, the road is more than 200 miles long, and because of the topography and other reasons, the railroad is at least more than 300 miles long, and it is more necessary to overcome difficulties such as steel decay, sleeper damage and livestock damage, and if you encounter rivers and mountains, you need to build bridges and dig roads, which is even more difficult.

When Xiao Jingmao first heard about it, he also thought that this matter would only end in failure.

"You seem to be surprised, but it was only because of sincerity, probably from God's mercy, that I succeeded in the end. Yang Chenglong laughed loudly, showing pride, but he was a little disappointed, and sighed again and again: "It's a pity that the lord has never seen this history-making side, it's a pity." ”

"My lord can't go with you. But I'm quite curious, how much can this railcar do?" Xiao Jingmao immediately stood up and urged: "In that case, why don't you let me see it? As the prime minister of the Government Council, I shouldn't let this one be inferior." ”

Yang Chenglong smiled lightly: "Then please!"

The two of them left the government hall together, but they walked into the distance.
