One of the windows on the second floor of the inn was opened, and a man stood at the window, looking at the cheering crowd on the street, this is the only place to go to the county guard's house, so it can be regarded as a heavily guarded place, and the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion are separated from the main road in three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

"It's unprecedented!" He said softly.

"The victor deserves such cheers!" Another person who stood one step behind him: "After this battle, Qin Feng's Ming Dynasty has really gained a firm foothold, but it is hard to imagine that the Ming Kingdom has only been founded for more than two years, and it is so popular with the people, my lord, this is what makes us worthy of vigilance."

The man at the window nodded lightly: "Actually, we have been collecting and studying Qin Feng's governance strategies, and those bigwigs in the court are not unaware of the problem, but although we understand it, we can't do it." ”

He turned his head, looked at the other party, and asked: "Measuring the land, paying taxes according to the land, counting the people, eliminating hidden households, implementing the reform of the administration of officials, and eliminating redundant officials, the successful implementation of these policies has made the governance of the Ming State refreshing, and the people have received the greatest benefits, so they will naturally support him, but can we follow suit, impossible." Qin Li, the joints of the head here, do you understand? ”

Qin Li smiled bitterly: "My lord, I understand that the Ming Kingdom is a newly built country, but my Daqi is a long time ago, the so-called frozen three feet, how can it be a day's cold, if we follow Mingtian, I am afraid that the country will be chaotic first, and under the anger of the sky and the resentment, the country will be unstable first." ”

"That's the crux of the matter!" The man at the window continued: "Now the elites above the court are all vested interests in the current national politics, if we follow the example of the Ming Kingdom, it will cut off their financial and official routes, how can it work?" So that's why our report ended up in the middle of the sea and there was no news from us. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and if you can see this report, it will inevitably change." Qin Li said cautiously.

The man at the window laughed: "Childish, the problem we can all see, Your Majesty will not know, in our Daqi, no one dares to deceive the Holy Hearing, but the problem is that Your Majesty has nothing to do." Now His Majesty can only try his best to push this overloaded ship forward, hoping to smash all the obstacles in front of him, and then turn his head and slowly clean up the domestic problems. ”

"Your Excellency, do you mean that Your Majesty has seen our report?"

"Of course, the report was personally handed to His Majesty, and after His Majesty read it, he just laughed and said to me, Cao Hui, do you think we can move now?" The man at the window said calmly.

"My answer is that you can't move."

Qin Li sighed and shook his head: "The Ming Kingdom is menacing, what is terrible is not their current combat effectiveness, but the follow-up development that they can wait and see, if this continues, the Ming Kingdom will inevitably become stronger and stronger, and the threat to us will become greater and greater." ”

"That's why there is a big war this time!" Cao Hui held the window frame with his hand, "It's a pity, Deng Pu is too uncompetitive." If he can crush Qin Feng's troops, then everything is over, it's better that they fail, it's our turn to clean up the mess. ”

"But we didn't take Shayang County either, if we can take Shayang County and break into Zhengyang, it will be a different situation!" Qin Li said suddenly.

Cao Hui was silent for a moment, "General Guo did his best. ”

He raised his head and looked into the distance, and above the city tower in the distance, a familiar figure appeared, it was Qin Feng, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and his old acquaintance.

After the parade of troops outside the city, he climbed the city tower alone, although it was extremely far away, Qin Feng's words still reached his ears clearly, and of course, it also reached the crowd of people downstairs who welcomed him, just like now he was facing Qin Feng and was talking cordially.

Qin Li's color changed in shock: "Qin Feng has indeed been promoted to Grandmaster. ”

Legend has it that Qin Feng was promoted to Grandmaster and killed Deng Pu in the battle with Deng Pu, which turned the overall situation, and the Qi people have always been skeptical about this news, after all, it is really rare to break through this kind of thing in battle. They prefer to believe that Deng Pu died in the midst of multiple masters and armies.

But the ability that Qin Feng showed today, their guess was obviously wrong. Qin Feng had indeed been promoted to Grandmaster.

Cao Hui's face was a little bitter, when he first met Qin Feng, it was in the Luoying Mountain Range, at that time, he had already touched the threshold of the ninth level, each other's Qin Feng, although the combat effectiveness was good, but the martial arts cultivation was not in his eyes at all, but after a few years, the situation of the two was reversed. Not to mention the other achievements of the two, just on top of the martial arts cultivation, Qin Feng has already subdued Cao Hui, Cao Hui after the battle of the Luoying Mountain Range, through the desperate battle with Zuo Lixing, successfully advanced to the ninth level, and then has been steadily moving forward, and now he is firmly standing on the stage above the ninth level. This is already a very rare achievement, but compared with Qin Feng, it was instantly turned into slag.

"Heaven really favored him." He sighed and said: "If the flower is beautiful, he has won it, he has pushed the door of the supreme martial arts open, he has established his own country, and I have gained nothing." ”

Qin Li looked at Cao Hui, who lowered his head and looked sad, and was silent. The entanglement between Cao Hui and Qin Feng's henchman, Wang Yueyao, director of the Ming State Department of Commerce, is known to many people in the ghost shadow, Cao Hui did not hesitate to use the power of the ghost shadow back then, from Chang'an and Luoyang, to Wang Yueyao, who was still in Taiping City at that time, to send exquisite gifts to her like, but unfortunately, the two of them are independent, and after all, they can only fly separately from Lao Yan. Cao Hui finally married the daughter of the first assistant of the dynasty under the emperor's marriage, and I heard that Wang Yueyao has also been engaged to another important figure in the Ming Kingdom, Shu Chang, the director of the Imperial Medical Department, and I am afraid that she will get married soon.

When the news came that day, Cao Hui only said: "Shu Chang is an amazing character, worthy of her." Then he shut himself up in the house and did not go out for a day and a night.

The two of them were silent, listening to Qin Feng's passionate and frustrated voice in the distance, it was obvious that Qin Feng's speech had come to an end.

"They can decide when the war will start, but it's up to us to decide when the war will end." Qin Feng, who was above the city tower, raised the war knife in his hand, his voice suddenly rose up, and he shouted loudly.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

With Qin Feng's battle sword raised, inside and outside the city, a tsunami-like shout of the mountains came.

The Qi people decide when the war will start, but it is up to the Ming people to decide when the war will end! After many years, the people finally heard a generous and heroic word that made them feel depressed.

Inside the house, when Cao Hui and Qin Li heard Qin Feng's words, their faces changed slightly.

"My lord, is Qin Feng officially declaring war on my Great Qi?" Qin Li asked.

Cao Hui stared at Qin Feng in the distance, the person in the distance held his sword high, like a statue, enjoying the cheers and shouts of countless people, the raised knife reflected the sun, flashing with wisps of cold light.

"It seems that the estimation of the bigwigs in our capital is wrong!" He said softly. "Is this really going to start a large-scale national war?"

Knock knock, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the two of them turned their heads to look out of the door at the same time, Qin Li's hand even touched his arms, but Cao Hui shook his head gently.

"This is Yuejing City, there are countless soldiers below, do you want to do it, looking for death?"

Outside the door, an old voice was heard.

"Lord Cao, is it convenient for an old friend to come in?"

Cao Hui smiled, strode over, opened the door, and looked at the white-haired Guo Jiuling standing outside the door, "If I say no, Commander Guo won't come in?" ”

"Of course it's going to come in." Guo Jiuling laughed, walked into the room unhurriedly, and looked at Qin Li, "This is Lord Qin Li, the elite in the ghost, with the power of one person, he has stirred up the four counties of my Daming Northern Land, and even deceived the barbarians down the mountain, and finally let them fall to the current step of the field, amazing, powerful." ”

Qin Li smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for the compliment, it's not an honor to be praised by Guo Gong." ”

Cao Hui exaggeratedly looked out left and right, then retracted his head and went to the door, "I thought Commander Guo was coming to arrest me with a large team?" Commander Guo is powerful, I have just entered the city not long ago, and you have come to the door. ”

Guo Jiuling sat down with a smile, lifted the teapot, poured three cups of water, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Lord Cao, Lord Qin, please sit, please sit, this is Yuejing, a character like Lord Cao arrives in Yuejing, if I can't hear the wind at all, I'm too incompetent, right?" Moreover, in my opinion, Master Cao doesn't seem to have deliberately hidden his traces, and it seems that he deliberately let me know! ”

Cao Hui smiled silently, picked up the teacup, and sipped slowly.

Guo Jiuling took two sips and put down the teacup, "Lord Cao is here to see Your Majesty this time?" ”

"It's true that I want to see it, but your country didn't pay attention to the letter of state we handed over before, that is, didn't play it, and didn't reply, so I can only take the path of Guo Gong." Cao Hui nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed out the window, "What Your Majesty said just now represents your country's attitude?" ”

"You decide when the war will begin, but it's up to us to decide when the war will end!" The smile on Guo Jiuling's face disappeared, and he looked at the other party solemnly, "Lord Cao, don't forget, this war was provoked by you. ”

"Do you think there is really a rivalry to us?" Cao Hui smiled, "Great Qi can decide when to start the war, and naturally it can also decide when to end the war." But if we unilaterally decide when the war will end, it won't be so good for the Ming Kingdom! ”

Guo Jiuling smiled: "You may have thought so when you attacked Shayang County, but now, I'm afraid you don't think so, otherwise, how could you be here?" Lord Cao, you have already made your attitude clear when you appear here. ”
