Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"They're gone? What did they go do?"

Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelü Longxu were imprisoned separately in a corner of a specially cleared truck, while the other generals were crammed into other locations.

After all, she was the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of a country. Even if those captured Liao generals tried to squeeze them, they wouldn't dare!

Upon hearing Empress Dowager Xiao's question, Qin Ming turned to look at her: "My lady naturally has her own matters to attend to. Why are you prisoners meddling so much?"

He wouldn't tolerate these so-called emperors and empresses dowager. As a member of the Dragon Kingdom's army, he was a proletarian soldier, a son of the people!

He had absolutely no feelings for these so-called nobles of feudal society!

Forget about giving these two any special treatment; it would be considered kind of him not to kick them a couple more times afterward.

The convoy headed south, and when it passed Yingzhou City, Chen Zhengqing and all the civil and military officials of the city were already waiting at the gate.

Although ancient times lacked the convenience of modern communication, carrier pigeons were no pushovers. The battle had barely ended when the carrier pigeons released on the other side had already flown back to Yingzhou City.

Chen Zhengqing stood beneath the city gate, watching the row of familiar iron-shelled behemoths slowly pass by, and hurriedly went to greet them.

"This... General, may I ask where the Celestial Master is?"

Looking around the convoy, Chen Zhengqing didn't see Zhou Feng's SUV. He quickly jogged to the lead car and bowed to Qin Ming in the passenger seat.

Qin Ming still held this official, who had been guarding the border cities for the Song Dynasty, in high regard. He got out of the carriage and returned the greeting: "The Celestial Master has important business to attend to and has already left. We will escort the prisoners back to the capital."

"captive…"

Chen Zhengqing felt a surge of excitement as he thought about the contents of the message sent by carrier pigeon. He peered into the trucks of the convoy.

Finally, Empress Xiao and Yelü Longxu were spotted in the middle of the convoy; their magnificent attire was simply too conspicuous.

"Insolence! Are all Song officials so lacking in manners? My son and I are members of the Liao royal family; even in defeat, we should be treated with respect! What are you looking at?"

Meeting Chen Zhengqing's gaze, Empress Dowager Xiao instantly flew into a rage.

That jerk before was just like that, he had absolutely no manners!

What respectable general would dare bring his female relatives to the battlefield during a war between two armies?

What's most hateful is that their Great Liao Dynasty was actually shattered by such people!

Now even a minor official in a mere border town dares to be so rude!

"Please forgive me, Empress Dowager of Liao!"

Chen Zhengqing took a step back, bowed respectfully to Empress Dowager Xiao in the carriage, and then cleared his throat: "This humble official was merely confirming the identity of the neighboring country's prisoners who were defeated by our Grand Tutor, but I did not intend to offend the Empress Dowager. This was truly not my intention."

"What did you say?!"

"Damn Song people, I'm going to kill you!"

"If you're so capable, let us down!"

...

Upon hearing Chen Zhengqing's words, all the Liao people present were enraged and began shouting incessantly in the truck bed.

Seeing that the Taoist priests had directly raised their guns and pointed them at the people, they angrily sat back down.

Despite being glared at and scolded, Chen Zhengqing felt no displeasure whatsoever.

These people are already prisoners, why is he still arguing with them?

With his chin held high, Chen Zhengqing adopted a proud posture, turned around and walked towards the lead car where Qin Ming was, and then bowed deeply to Qin Ming once again.

"General Qin, your actions have truly avenged the people and soldiers of Yingzhou City. Please accept my deepest respect!"

Every time the Liao Kingdom invaded the south, Yingzhou City was plagued by troubles, and countless brothers, sisters and friends died under the swords of these guys.

Now Zhou Feng has avenged them, and even captured the other side's royal family!

Even though they couldn't be brought into the city for the people to see, the entire Yingzhou City was still a sea of ​​joy.

After accepting Chen Zhengqing's bow with relief, Qin Ming adopted a businesslike attitude: "Lord Chen, the Liao army has been completely scattered by us, but there are still some remnants scattered in the north. Please send someone to wipe them out. We need to continue our journey."

"Very well! I will immediately dispatch men to encircle and annihilate them, ensuring that those Liao remnants have no chance of escape!"

Chen Zhengqing's eyes lit up. If you asked his Yingzhou City garrison to fight the Liao cavalry face to face, they would definitely be no match for them.

But if it's about kicking a dog when it's down...

I bet all the guys in the city would be jumping up and down trying to get there!

"Then we'll leave this to Lord Chen and head back to the capital first. After all, this matter is of great importance, and we can't afford to delay on the way."

Qin Ming didn't say it directly, but Chen Zhengqing glanced in the direction of Empress Dowager Xiao and her son, and immediately nodded knowingly: "May you have a safe journey, sir."

"Walk!"

Qin Ming greeted Chen Zhengqing and then, without saying anything more, turned around and jumped back into the passenger seat of the lead car.

The convoy restarted, and through the rearview mirror, they could see Chen Zhengqing leading his men, gazing at them from afar at the city gate.

This city has truly suffered under the Liao Kingdom for far too long.

Now that Chen Zhengqing had received the news, the carrier pigeons bound for Tokyo set off immediately.

Not only that, Chen Zhengqing also dispatched a fast horse with an urgent courier service, which galloped along the official road towards Tokyo, fearing that something might go wrong in the process of delivering such an important message.

Carrier pigeons relayed the message from station to station, and post horses were replaced in batches. The carrier pigeons and the urgent 800-li courier service traveled south, delivering the battle report from Yingzhou City to Tokyo City at the fastest speed.

Meanwhile, Zhou Feng and the two women were traveling south on another road.

With the car windows open, Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang leaned out on either side, looking at the farmland and the farmers working in the fields on both sides.

It wasn't that they had never seen farming before, but being born in Qiantang, they had little concept of the open fields of the north.

This time, they actually got to see something new.

Zhou Feng had one arm around Zhao Pan'er's shoulder while taking pictures with his phone in the other.

Liu Yifei, who is in her early twenties, has so many photos to take!

Unless you can go to the world of "The Story of a Noble Family" or "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" or "The Return of the Condor Heroes", you might be able to meet a younger version of her. But even if you go to that world, who can guarantee which version it will be?

If it were the xiaolongbao version, Zhou Feng was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist shooting her to send her on her way.

The actor is a good actor, but the role is really unsuitable.

Feeling Zhou Feng's hand on her shoulder tighten slightly, Zhao Pan'er turned her head and glanced at him.

In the sunset, the girl's cheeks and eyelashes seemed to be edged with gold.

Her cheek rested gently against Zhou Feng's chest, and he held her close. Neither of them spoke, and after a short while, the sound of their even breathing filled the air.

"Pan'er..."

Sun San Niang turned around and was about to speak when she noticed Zhao Pan'er leaning against Zhou Feng's chest, dozing off with her eyes closed. She smiled knowingly and rolled up her car window.

Unexpectedly, just as the car window rolled up, she felt a force pulling her into Zhou Feng's arms...
