Chapter 50: Sisterhood

"My lord, these dishes are dirty, and I'll reorganize the table. ”

Leaning over to apologize, Xiao Xing's figure was in a hurry, and before Xiao Feng could react, he quickly shot and left.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at this scene, the news before was obviously extremely serious to Xiao Xing.

Yang Chenglong and Xiao Jingmao looked at each other, and immediately reached an agreement, both of them bowed their heads and persuaded: "Please also ask the lord to think twice, don't fall into Lin'an's treacherous schemes." The two of them have also followed Xiao Feng for many years, and they know the relationship between Xiao Xing and Xiao Feng.

And that Xiao Xing has a gentle personality, and within a period of time when Xiao Feng left, he played a considerable role in the entire Red Phoenix Army, and his prestige in the army was not bad.

If it is because of this that the two are separated, it is worrying.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her words. It's just that what do you plan for the so-called Zhao Mengfu?" Slightly closing his eyes and looking at the distant figure, Xiao Feng looked a little absent-minded.

"Lord Qi. Now it is no longer possible to push this off. In my opinion, you might as well welcome him into Chang'an City first. Xiao Jingmao knew the relationship between the two, but because of secular reasons, he never made it public, so he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved for Xiao Xing, and by the way, he was even more angry with Zhao Mengfu.

But that guy represents the Song Dynasty, but he can't really refuse!

Yang Chenglong snorted lightly and shouted, "Welcome to Chang'an City?" Do you really plan to get married as Lin'an wishes?"

"Of course not. After all, this is only a stopgap measure, and it depends on what the lord does after that. After all, this is the marriage of the lord, how can it be as casual as ordinary people? If there is no three media and six hires, and there is a good day and an auspicious day, how can the lord's noble identity be revealed?" Xiao Jingmao said slowly.

Yang Chenglong suddenly realized and complained: "You mean, drag?"

"That's right. And what else will happen during this time is unknown. The corners of Xiao Jingmao's mouth curled up, with a bit of hideousness.

After hearing this, Xiao Feng was also thoughtful, but asked, "Have you prepared anything about the railway and the army?"

As for the railway, the railway from Chang'an to Tongchuan has been completed, and the railway to Baoji is half completed, and the railway from Fenzhou to Shangzhou is still being explored. Xiao Jingmao didn't understand for a while, and opened his mouth to reply.

Because of the limited strength of the Red Phoenix Army, the planned railway was divided into Phase I and Phase II.

The first phase of the railway is progressing rapidly because most of them are located in the plains and do not need to cross mountains and rivers, but the railways in Fenzhou and Shangzhou, for example, need to cross mountains and mountains, and it is not easy to build, so until now it has not been started and is still being discussed.

"Has it progressed to this extent?" Xiao Feng pondered for a moment before saying, "Since this is the case, it is better to take action today." ”

Xiao Jingmao asked again: "Action?

"What the main attack said, could it be the Northern Expedition?" Yang Chenglong's mind turned, and he immediately became transparent.

"That's right. ”

Xiao Feng's jaw was the first to complain: "As the so-called soldiers are fast, then Mongolia will definitely not expect that I will choose to attack at this moment, and when the time comes, I can take the Shaanxi lands in one fell swoop." After that, we can use local resources to speed up the construction of the railway. And once the railway is completed, it will be the arrival of thousands of Mongolian troops, and we can easily block it. ”

"I see. And as soon as the war begins, the lord is bound to come to the front line and personally lead the army to the battle. As for the so-called marriage, it can naturally be pushed back. When the time comes, we can take other measures to abolish this matter. Yang Chenglong also had a gloomy face, and there was no hostility in his words.

Xiao Feng nodded and replied, "Since that's the case, then Chang'an City will leave it to you." ”

"Rest assured, the two of us will do our best to ensure that Chang'an City is safe and sound. ”

The two of them bowed their heads together, sending their highest salute to Xiao Feng, and in their hearts, they had already pronounced the guilt of the comer.

After sending the two away, Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes swept over the corridor in the distance, and he saw a green cloth on the ground, and he knew that Xiao Xing had been hiding in the dark to eavesdrop before, so he said: "Xing'er, they have left, you can come out." ”

The breeze sends incense, the willow branches are horizontally oblique, the light and shadow are vertical and horizontal, and the green shadow slowly steps into the Yuehua Pavilion.

Xiao Xing put down the lacquer plate in his hand, but he felt a little tears in his eyes, and asked, "Sister, are you leaving again?"

Although this move is to avoid the matter of the in-laws, it has long been within the future strategy of the Red Phoenix Army, and no matter what, Xiao Feng is bound to leave Chang'an and set foot on the battlefield that does not know life and death again.

She was worried, but she knew it was unstoppable.

"No way. After all, the Northern Expedition is a matter of importance, and if there is no me in charge, it is very likely to fail. Although our dynasty has developed rapidly, the Mongols are also extraordinary, and Ali Buge has the support of the Four Khanates, and its strength is not reduced compared to the original MΓΆngke. Patting the seat next to him, Xiao Feng motioned for Xiao Xing to sit beside him, and said apologetically.

Xiao Xing pursed his lips, looking a little melancholy, and asked again, "Sister." When do you think this war will end?"

"I don't know. Xiao Feng shook his head, his face bitter.

She is over forty years old this year, and she has faintly felt that her body has begun to show signs of failure, and it would be okay if she recuperated with peace of mind, but if she continued to fight, it might lead to damage to her body, and then there would be a sign of the five decays of heaven and man.

That's why she felt scared and wanted to take advantage of her current strength to end this troubled world.

Xiao Xing was sad for a moment, and muttered in his mouth: "Why is it so difficult to restore peace to this world?"

At first, the reason why she rose up to resist was just to avenge her father, but after the Battle of Sichuan and Shu completely smashed Meng Ge's conspiracy, she felt exhausted and didn't know why she was doing such a thing, so she directly abandoned what she was doing and retired.

After settling in Chang'an, Xiao Xing also found his own way of life.

Assisting Xiao Feng in handling political affairs every day, and taking care of his daily life by the way, although it seems extremely dull, it is better than stability and peace.

And these peaceful days are really the happiest times for Xiao Feng on weekdays.

But because of the Mongols and the Song Dynasty, this peaceful time has also disappeared.

Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly, seeing that Xiao Xing's eyes were full of tears, so he directly took him in his arms, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears, but he looked at the bright eyes, and solemnly said, "I don't know." But I swear to you, I will devote my life to the restoration of peace in China. ”

"Sister. Peace or something, in fact, is not that important. ”

Xiao Xinghao's wrist unconsciously clenched Xiao Feng's hand, and his eyes were full of worry: "It's just that sister, you also know that the battlefield is unpredictable, and it is really dangerous." In any case, you want to make sure that you are safe and sound. Got it?"

"Of course. ”

Xiao Feng smiled, pinched Xiao Xing's nose playfully, and said with a smile: "After all, you are so beautiful, how can I be willing to leave it?"

Told this, Xiao Xing suddenly blushed, poked Xiao Feng's chest lightly, and complained, "Sister, you are really, how can you say such nonsense?"

"I don't just dare to talk nonsense, I dare to do nonsense. ”

Xiao Feng pretended to be angry, but he hugged Xiao Xing by the waist, and no matter how she reprimanded, he walked towards the boudoir in the distance, "While there is still some time, let's have a cave room first." ”
