The night sky is like a wash, and the stars are like a forest.

In the deep city, the blazing bonfire is burning, and the wind is rippling in the secluded sea, and sometimes there is a 'crackling' sound, and there is no end in sight.

Not far from the city, there are sometimes heavily armed figures patrolling by, meticulously, like a fierce but extremely orderly herd of beasts hidden in the dark.

Fan Wencheng squinted his eyes, looked at the dozen tall and mighty soldiers leading the way around him, and then looked at the sky as if he was detained, and couldn't help but feel a little weak for a while.

As the first slave to defect to the Great Qing Kingdom, and Jane is in the heart of the two 'emperors', Fan Wencheng's eyesight is still very reliable.

After really going deep into this huge sea city, he had already understood that this sea city not only looked like a flood beast from the outside, but only when he got inside, he could understand more clearly that this flood beast was really a bit invincible......

"This Xu Changqing is a ruthless person......"

Fan Wencheng peeked around while thinking about it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Who would have thought that among the giant beasts of Daming, Xu Changqing, who is difficult to describe, will actually appear......

It's no wonder that the regent is so cautious, if he really wants to take Haicheng from the military level, not to mention whether he can take it or not, even if he can take it, that kind of consequence is definitely not something that the Qing Dynasty can bear at this time......

"Master Fan, please wait a moment, and go to serve you."

Just thinking nonsense, at this time, the commander of the pro-soldiers led by the front suddenly turned around and smiled at Fan Wencheng.

"Forehead ......"

Fan Wencheng stumbled and almost bumped into this pro-soldier commander, but fortunately, the latter reacted very quickly, hurriedly supported him, and said with a smile: "Lord Fan, be careful." ”

It wasn't until more than a minute after the commander of the personal soldiers left that Fan Wencheng came back to his senses violently, and his body was already filled with dense sweat.

I still want to put on the majesty of the Qing Kingdom, how can I think that I haven't seen the main owner yet, and I actually ......

Fortunately, he was used to serving big people, Fan Wencheng hurriedly adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, and after a while, he gradually calmed down and began to carefully examine the surrounding environment.

This is supposed to be a barracks somewhere in the city.

But...... It's not too appropriate to say that it's in the city, because along the way, many places are a bit too wide, there are not many houses, and the buildings are faintly large and far apart.

This made Fan Wencheng feel very strange.

How can a city be like this? Isn't this a waste of land.

It must be known that the city at this time is different from the later generations, because the city defense must be considered, and the land in the city is more precious than that of later generations.

Thinking about it, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

This Xu Changqing, even if he has some means, is really too young, and he doesn't know how to really run a city well, let alone a country.

However, Fan Wencheng was soon attracted by the military camp in front of him.

Fan Wencheng has seen a lot of military camps, but he has never seen a military camp like this.

Because this barracks is very ...... in terms of design and defense. Blame......

He has followed Huang Taiji on several expeditions, not to mention Dolgon's side, Fan Wencheng can be regarded as a person who has seen big scenes, and naturally has his experience in how to arrange the camp.

But at this time, the military camp in front of Xu Changqing, even if it was night, he couldn't see the complete outline clearly, but just looking at the scale and arrangement of the bonfire, Fan Wencheng had already found many unreasonable points.

It's not like a barracks at all, it's more like a ...... Palace......

A palace in the dark, illuminated by countless lights.

On the contrary, there are not too many barracks buildings around, but a large tent that stretches one after another.

Isn't this nonsense?

On such a cold day, it is clear that there is no fixed military camp in the city, but a big tent, which is because these big-headed soldiers are not cold enough.

Fan Wencheng couldn't help but shake his head again and laughed.

He had already found a way to defeat Xu Changqing.

After all, it's a young man, and if you get it, you're going crazy!

Not surprisingly, Xu Changqing has been tossing for the past few days, and he will definitely not survive this level!

Not to mention the regent, he can't pass the level of Hong Chengchou alone!

"The marshal has an order, please invite Lord Fan, the envoy of the Great Qing Kingdom, to enter the camp!"

"The marshal has an order, please invite the envoy of the Great Qing Kingdom, Lord Fan, to enter the camp......"

Fan Wencheng had just regained his self-confidence, and here, the voice of the pro-soldier also came.

A few pro-soldiers around him led Fan Wencheng inside with a smile.

However, when he stepped on the steps, Fan Wencheng suddenly came back to his senses, this was not a palace, but a huge military facility that could not be described in words, just like a mountain, abrupt, but a little indescribable and harmonious standing in this huge space.

Halfway up the walk, Fan Wencheng suddenly found that it was not difficult to build a city wall with this military facility as the core......

And when he came to the top, Fan Wencheng couldn't stop feeling a little chill around him, standing at this angle, he could actually see many bonfires in the camp of the Great Qing Kingdom.

And looking north from here, even if there are several city walls to cover it, you can still see that there is an area in the distance, where thousands of lights are like forests and seas, like a galaxy hanging upside down in the world, almost unimaginably huge.

It is Shengjing City, and compared with it, there is no comparison at all......

Fan Wencheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva with difficulty: "Could it be that that is the heart of Haicheng......

"Squeak ......"

At this time, a majestic gate not far away was pushed open, and the warm heat wave inside hit out, Fan Wencheng suddenly felt a lot warmer, and just wanted to speak, but saw a dark and sturdy general inside who was a little extraordinary at first glance and smiled: "Lord Fan, please come in!" ”

"Uh, thank you, thank you, this ......"

Fan Wencheng hurriedly subconsciously arched his hand, and was led into this indescribable building like a puppet.

However, after entering, the inside of this building was even more eye-opening for Fan Wencheng, the lower floor, like the cabin, was almost completely empty, there was no furnishings, at the end not far away, there was a staircase, obviously the main owner was still on it.

Following the swarthy officer carefully to the stairs, Ergou smiled and said, "Master Fan, go up, my family commander is already waiting for you." ”

Fan Wencheng came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly saluted the two dogs, and carefully went up the stairs.

But the stairs are not a corner, but several, and they continue to go up until Fan Wencheng is almost dizzy, and his tired legs are sore, and this is when he sees the lights.

Inside, the voices of a man and a woman were heard.

Fan Wencheng only listened to a few words, and his hairs stood upside down a little!

The woman who spoke inside was actually the Empress Dowager of their Great Qing Kingdom, Bumu Butai!

Could it be that Xu Changqing has already ......

For a while, Fan Wencheng didn't know where the courage came from, he quickly climbed to the light, gathered his strength, and said loudly: "Fan Wencheng, Minister of the Great Qing Dynasty, Deputy Director of the Hongwen Pavilion, and First Class Minister, has seen Uncle Daming Zhongyi......"

In the room that was as tall as a lighthouse, but it was decorated like a high-end apartment in the future, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "This Lord Fan is still very loyal, this is for fear that you will suffer." ”

Next to him, Bu Mu Butai's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Changqing with disgust: "He's already here, I still have to make a show here." ”

Xu Changqing smiled and took a sip of tea slowly: "You are green tea, you can listen to it if you want to, can I still stop you?" Let's go behind the screen and rest for a while. I'm here to meet our Lord Fan. ”

Bu Mu Butai's face turned even redder, but she didn't refute it, took her teacup, and went behind the screen.

By this time, she had already understood very well that when talking to a character like Xu Changqing, too many routines would fall into the inferior.

This man is too smart.

Instead of acting, it is better to be more self-conscious.

After a while, the maid led Fan Wencheng indoors.

As soon as he saw the appearance of the room, Fan Wencheng was stunned again.

I've never seen anything like this.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing is really dazzling, even if he is not wearing an official robe, just wearing a casual black robe, the aura of being high and under control is still impossible to hide.

Fan Wencheng looked at Xu Changqing carefully, and he was a clever man in his heart.

Really!

Sure enough!

Xu Changqing's appearance is almost the same as he thought, and even more chic.

Busy and respectful.

But he just made a gesture, but he didn't kneel.

Xu Changqing didn't embarrass Fan Wencheng in this regard, but looked at him with interest.

Fan Wencheng is about in his early forties, very white and handsome, his beard is neatly trimmed, and he has a slight aura between his eyebrows, but he is not exposed.

It seems to have the commonality of many middle-aged successful men.

"Hehe, Master Fan, I have admired the name for a long time. It's an evergreen honor to see you today. Come on, serve tea to Lord Fan, good tea! ”

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded to Fan Wencheng and motioned for Fan Wencheng to sit down.

Next to him, there were two pretty maids, who were already busy washing tea and making tea for Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng was a little bottomless for a while.

What's the situation?

The famous Xu Changqing, actually, is so easy to speak?

Carefully sat on the sofa, but only sat on half of his buttocks, Fan Wencheng hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyi, student, student has also heard the name of Uncle Zhongyi for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that there is such an opportunity now." ”

Originally, Fan Wencheng wanted to be more radical and put on the prestige of the Great Qing Kingdom, at least suppressing Xu Changqing in terms of momentum, but when he really waited in front of Xu Changqing, he suddenly found that it was already amazing to be able to speak well in front of this man......

Xu Changqing smiled, did not speak in a hurry, but patiently waited for the maid to make tea.

Fan Wencheng wanted to speak, but in the face of Xu Changqing's indifference, he became more and more bottomless, thought about it, closed his mouth, and his mind spun rapidly, looking for a breakthrough.

After a while, the maid served a steaming tea, and Xu Changqing smiled: "Master Fan, this is our Shandong specialty Mengshan tea, how about you taste it?" ”

Fan Wencheng hurriedly tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good tea, fragrant but not greasy, slightly bitter but not hurting the taste buds, Uncle Zhongyi is elegant......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and was taken into the ditch by Xu Changqing again......

If he continues like this, he probably won't be able to grasp the rhythm of the conversation tonight.

Dressed up in the tea room, Fan Wencheng carefully looked around.

It seems that only the staircase in this room is the exit, which means ...... At this time, Bumu Butai must still be in the room......

But at this time, even if Bu Mu Butai is the queen mother, she is just a woman, Fan Wencheng hurriedly gathered his mind and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyi, tea is indeed good tea, but after all, there are more important tasks on the students, can we talk about business first?" ”

Seeing that Fan Wencheng wanted to forcibly control the rhythm, Xu Changqing smiled, but he was not angry, and invited very softly: "Master Fan, please have something to say." ”

"......"

At this moment, Fan Wencheng suddenly had no bottom in his heart.

What the hell is going on?

Xu Changqing, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd......

However, at this time, Fan Wencheng couldn't care about anything else, he was busy with his spirits, mustered up his courage, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyi, at this time, we don't talk darkly, we don't hide it, this time the students came over, mainly for the affairs of the emperor and the queen mother......"
