Horse on the World

Chapter 989
When the sun rose and the entire Qixia Pass was bathed in golden sunlight, more than a hundred cavalry escorted a carriage to Dingzhou, while on the other side of the pass, more than [-] cavalry escorted Li Qing Go to Luoyang.

Qingfeng sat on the carriage, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes stretched, and his expression was sometimes pleasantly surprised and sometimes confused. Xia Xue and Qiuping looked at Qingfeng and looked at each other. They didn't know what happened last night. The lady is so perplexed?

Qingfeng really didn't expect Li Qing's composition to be like this. If Li Qing's system is really successful, then the emperor who held the life and death of his subjects in the past will become a symbol. To put it more thoroughly, it is just a decoration. If the chair in the Luoyang Tai Chi Hall was really like this, would there still be so many people fighting for it?

Qingfeng, who has read many books and is familiar with history, has never seen or heard of such an unprecedented system. No wonder the general wants to weaken the power of the royal family in this way, such as driving Anmin and Jishi who have great potential to go overseas, because in the future If the emperor has enough power in his hands, he must not be reconciled to this role of merely being a seal.That might be another bloody battle, the general drove them overseas in advance, and sent his confidant general to watch them, just to plan ahead, just in case.

During the journey of several days, Qingfeng was immersed in this kind of contemplation. Since the general has made up his mind to do this, he has to think carefully about the shortcomings of this system, which needs to be supplemented by himself. what?Perhaps, in the future, the Overwatch Council needs to change its functions. With the rapid expansion of power, a strong enough supervisory agency is needed to supervise them. But the question is, if the Overwatch Council has too much power, who can control the Overwatch Council? Woolen cloth?
Qingfeng fell into a dilemma.

Unknowingly, the convoy had entered the suburbs of Dingzhou City, and Taoyuan Xiaozhu was already in sight. In the distance, a fast horse galloped towards him, and Han Yong immediately rode up to meet him.The convoy also stopped immediately, and the knight who was running whispered to Han Yong, Han Yong turned around and ran to the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Mrs. Jiyue knows that you are back today, so she took Mr. Anmin to Taoyuan Xiaozhu is waiting for you."

Qingfeng was startled, "Didn't the general not allow him to leave the palace?"

"Madam Wen has spoken, and this ban has been lifted." Han Yong said in a low voice. "Miss, Mrs. Jiyue has been waiting in Taoyuan Xiaozhu for several hours."

Qingfeng pondered for a moment, "Let's go, we won't go back to Taoyuan Xiaozhu, go to the city, to the Overwatch Council."

"Miss?" Han Yong was stunned.

"Let's go!" Qingfeng put down the curtains, closed her eyes and said nothing.

The convoy immediately turned around and walked towards the city of Dingzhou.

Dingzhou has been victorious over the years. Up to now, it has controlled almost all the land of the original Great Chu except Luoyang, and has become the political center and economic center of the entire continent. After the second expansion, the third expansion of the city has now begun. Along the periphery of the original city wall, new blocks have been planned one by one. Under the leadership of Luo Daoming, Dingzhou used the land to sell and made money. With a lot of money, the current land in Dingzhou has increased dozens of times compared to a few years ago.Especially when Li Qing decided that Dingzhou would be the capital instead of Luoyang, the land price here experienced a new round of skyrocketing.

Qingfeng's convoy was almost passing through the construction sites, which also made all the special agents nervous, with their hands on their waist knives, and their eyes kept scanning the surroundings. Han Yong was tightly attached to the carriage, and the speed of the convoy was extremely quick.

The curtains were gently pulled open a small gap, through which, Qingfeng looked at the outskirts of Dingzhou city like a large construction site, with a gleam in his eyes, "Do you know what Dingzhou looked like ten years ago?" ?" Qingfeng gently asked Xia Xue and Qiuping beside her.

Both of them shook their heads. They entered the Overwatch Council relatively late, and they really didn't have any memory of Dingzhou ten years ago.

"Ten years ago in Dingzhou, the people's livelihood was poor, and the barbarian cavalry often raided. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as three times a day. My fate has changed since then." Qingfeng said.

"Miss, close the window. There are too many people outside, good and evil mixed together, be careful if there are malicious people mixed in, we are too conspicuous like this!" Xia Xue interrupted Qingfeng suddenly.

Qingfeng smiled slightly and retracted her head. Xia Xue quickly pulled down the shutter of the window. Qingfeng knew that Xia Xue didn't want to touch her scar by mentioning the past.But now, Qingfeng is no longer the former Qingfeng. Since having Nianqing, Qingfeng finds that she has changed a lot. The hatred hidden in her heart has gradually faded, and it is replaced by another emotion. .

Nian Qing has already turned one year old, but she can't hold the Zhou Catch Ceremony for him, and can't be by his side.Qingfeng leaned against the board wall and closed his eyes.

On the construction site, the crowd who were working hard raised their heads and looked at the group of black knights and black carriages. The local people in Dingzhou knew that these men in black belonged to that yamen, and who did the black carriage belong to? , the crowds and wheelbarrows on the road consciously moved out of the way and avoided to both sides of the road.

"Breeze!" Under a half-built wall in the distance, a thin man raised his head, his dark skin was dripping with sweat, and his once slender and smooth hands were covered with calluses. The place has scabbed long ago, and now it is also covered with calluses. Seeing the carriage galloping forward on the road, hatred flashed in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, that kind of resentment was shocking. , perhaps realizing his gaffe, he lowered his head.

This person is Zhong Ziqi who sneaked into Dingzhou City, and now he is one of the countless laborers in Dingzhou City. This scholar who was once full of beauty but couldn't carry it with his hands or shoulders is now a big man. His appearance changed, his tanned skin, calluses on his hands, messy hair, dirt all over his body and the smell of sweat, no matter how he could be connected with the handsome and handsome scholar before.Except for those eyes, they are still as sharp as before.

"Do you want to do it?" There was another person beside Zhong Ziqi, and Zhou Yu rubbed against Zhong Ziqi with two empty baskets in his hands.

Zhong Ziqi scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and found that everyone's eyes were focused on the carriage in the middle of the road. He shook his head slowly, "No, the chance is not great. The special guards outside, Han Yong is not bad at work. Here, there are two women who are also masters. We only have one chance, the only chance. If we miss one hit, we will never leave Dingzhou City alive again. Therefore, I will never leave Dingzhou City until I am absolutely sure. Will do it."

"Yes!" Zhou Yu whispered.

"Qingfeng is back, Li Qing is gone, we must have a chance, Zhou Yu, from tomorrow onwards, you don't want to come, you keep an eye on Qingfeng's trail, I don't believe we can't find a chance. "Zhong Ziqi gritted his teeth and said.

"I understand!"

"Remember, don't do anything without my permission."

"I see!"

The two watched the convoy gradually go away, and the construction site began to get busy again.

"Dinner is ready, dinner is ready!" Some workers rushed forward with two large buckets, and the workers threw down their tools and rushed towards the people who came.Zhou Yu and Zhong Ziqi were no exception. They took out their own big bowls, scooped out a bowl of porridge from the big bucket, and took a wotou and a mound of pickles. They sat cross-legged on the dirt-covered ground, gulping ate up.

It has been more than half a year since Qingfeng left Dingzhou City. In the past six months, too many changes have taken place in Dingzhou City. The current Dingzhou City is changing every day. The population gathered in Dingzhou City and its suburbs has already With more than 200 million people, it is second only to Luoyang, the capital of Great Chu, which has been established for hundreds of years, and has become the second largest city on the entire continent. In the foreseeable future, it will definitely surpass Luoyang to become the largest city.

Qingfeng, who had not returned for more than half a year, returned to the Overwatch Council, and immediately held a meeting of all high-level officials to report the situation on the front line and arrange the security work for Dingzhou City. There are hidden forces who are unwilling to fail. After conquering Luoyang, Li Qing will return to Dingzhou and ascend the throne. Qingfeng doesn't want even the slightest accident in the process.

After lingering in the Overwatch Council for half a day, Qingfeng went to visit Lu Yiyi and other cabinet ministers separately. By the time Qingfeng set off to return to Taoyuan Xiaozhu outside the city, it was already completely dark.

"Yunrong is still in Taoyuan Xiaozhu?" Qingfeng frowned into a Sichuan character, "She doesn't understand what I mean?"

Han Yong said in a low voice: "Miss, the person from Taoyuan Xiaozhu said that Mrs. Jiyue will never go back if she doesn't see you."

"Nonsense!" Qingfeng scolded angrily.

"Then are we going back?"

"Can you not go back? If she continues to make trouble like this, she will stay in Taoyuan Xiaozhu and won't go. I don't know what will happen tomorrow? When I come back, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at me? Let's go, let's go! Look Let's see what she wants to do."

"Sister, you are finally back, I thought you would hide in the city today and not come back?" Ji Yue greeted her, looked at Qingfeng, and said.

Under Xia Xue's service, Qingfeng untied his cloak and walked up to Jiyue, "I have been away from Dingzhou City for more than half a year, and I have piled up many important official affairs that have not been dealt with. If I don't solve these problems first, how can I come back? "

"Sister, is there anything more important than Anmin's affairs now?" Jiyue called out, "The prince wants to exile Anmin overseas to live with those savages, don't you know?"

Qingfeng stared at Jiyue, "There are many things that are more important than this one. The general just said that. Isn't Anmin staying by your side now? What is it that you stay with me all day? What are you doing now? What identity, what identity am I, do you know how many pairs of eyes are looking at us?"

Jiyue flicked her sleeves, "I don't care, I dare to do anything for Anmin, sister, Anmin is your nephew, why don't you just watch and let our mother and son be bullied?"
