Feng Fendai made a decision almost immediately upon seeing the two people: go upstairs.
Which building? Tea house.
One of the walls of the alley was a two-story teahouse. Fendai didn't think twice and rushed in quickly. Then she threw a silver dollar weighing ten taels to the waiter who was walking towards her and said, "I want the private room on the west side of the second floor. I don't need tea. Just watch and don't let anyone in."
With the help of the Fifth Prince, Fendai is now living a good life, at least she is not short of money. Although the waiter in the teahouse did not quite understand why this young lady came to the teahouse alone and only paid money but did not drink tea, he had seen a lot of things in the capital. From the way Fendai was dressed, it was obvious that she was a young lady from a wealthy family. No matter how strange it was, it was not for them to ask about such a noble person going out to do business. He took the silver and just nodded, without even asking, he let Fendai go upstairs to wash herself.
There was a door in the private room on the west wall upstairs. If you pushed it open, you could see the situation in the alley below. Fendai went into the room and closed the door. Then she carefully pushed the window open a little and saw one of the two people downstairs putting something into the other's hand. She didn't know what it was, but she felt it was very small, wrapped in a piece of red silk, and could be held in one hand.
Of course, she didn't think about what the thing was. What shocked her the most was that she had never expected that Xiao Jing, who had been searched all over the capital without the help of the whole Feng family, including the Cheng sisters and Feng Yuheng, would be found by her today. She really couldn't imagine how brave Xiao Jing was to stay in the capital, and...
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiaojing's belly. The flat belly immediately made her understand why the other party could escape without a trace during the search by the Feng family. The Feng family was misled, everyone was misled. Xiaojing was not pregnant. The Feng family was looking for a pregnant woman at the beginning, so how could they find her?
That's right, Fendai could recognize Xiaojing at a glance. If you were to say who in the Feng family, besides Feng Jinyuan, had the deepest impression of Xiaojing, it would be Fendai. She had angered the emperor at the New Year's Palace Banquet, and it was Kang Yi who begged for mercy to save her. Afterwards, she followed Kang Yi to the inn and stayed for a few days. Xiaojing was Kang Yi's personal maid, and she had actually been in contact with her for several days, so she naturally had a deep impression.
After some calculations, there were only two possibilities for Xiao Jing's flat belly. One was that she was not pregnant at all, and the other was that she had miscarried. It was impossible for her to give birth normally, and the date would be wrong no matter how she calculated. But if she had miscarried, how could she look fine now when a woman had suffered such a great injury?
Xiao Jing's sudden appearance made Fendai a little confused. She was a little confused as to whether Feng Jinyuan knew that this person was still in the capital or not. Should she tell Feng Jinyuan about what she saw today? And...
Fendai's heart sank a little bit, then suddenly rose up after a while, and then sank again. Such ups and downs were not only caused by Xiaojing. What surprised Fendai more than seeing Xiaojing suddenly was another person, the girl who took Xiaojing's things.
How come she is here?
Fen Dai felt that her mind was beginning to fall into extreme confusion. Xiao Jing's appearance might still be within her acceptable range, but how could she be with Xiao Jing, that girl?
In the blink of an eye, she looked downstairs and saw that the place where people were standing just now was now deserted. Fendai closed the window, her heart pounding, and she had no doubt that if she didn't hold it back with her hands, her heart would jump out of her throat.
She realized that she seemed to have seen a big secret, but she didn't know who to tell this secret to, or perhaps, no one could tell it to anyone?
Xuan Tianming's imperial carriage arrived at the foot of the Barrier Mountain that night. When they finally crossed the Barrier Mountain and arrived at the camp, they were greeted by torches lit by all the soldiers in the camp and countless shining steel weapons neatly placed on the ground.
Under the torches, the faces of the soldiers were illuminated red, but they were all filled with uncontrollable smiles. The torches and steel tools, under the bright moonlight, made the camp sparkle.
Qian Li had already led his troops northward, and the general in charge of steel weapons in the main camp was He Gan, the deputy general of the Shenji Camp. He stepped forward, knelt on one knee in front of Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng, and said loudly: "General, Princess! All 35,000 steel weapons have been forged, please check them!"
He Gan was full of pride when he said this, and all the soldiers in the camp, including the blacksmiths who worked tirelessly to make steel and weapons, could not hide their joy. They had gone through nearly a year, from the initial exploration to the later proficiency, from the initial hundred furnaces to one furnace, to the later ten furnaces to one furnace, and finally one furnace to success. Steelmaking has become the biggest responsibility of the Beijing Suburban Camp.
Now, tens of thousands of steel weapons have been successfully produced, which indicates that Dashun, and the world, will enter the steel age from now on.
Feng Yuheng couldn't help but get excited, and suddenly she had an epiphany. Promoting the progress of an unknown era might be her mission here.
She tilted her head to look at Xuan Tianming and said seriously: "Send the troops! Head all the way north, let the Northern Territory and Qianzhou see what the Dashun army is and what the Dashun's true strength is!"
Xuan Tianming also nodded seriously, then took a step forward, waved his arm, and shouted loudly with his inner strength: "The whole camp should rest! In three days, we will march to Qianzhou!"
In one word, the expectations of the entire battalion were raised to the highest point. After a thousand weeks of fighting, they had been eagerly waiting for a long time. The lives of the soldiers were never in the battalion, but on the battlefield. Only on the battlefield could the passionate military souls be completely ignited.
“Brothers!” Xuan Tianming’s mighty voice sounded again, “The steel is ready. Let’s fight for a thousand weeks and accept the inspection of the world!”
"Accept the inspection of the world!"
"Accept the inspection of the world!"
The moon was in the sky, and it was an ordinary night. The echoes in the valley added a strong color to this ordinary life. So much so that many years later, when Feng Yuheng recalled this night, he could still remember these inspiring words and the hopeful smiles of those soldiers.
That night, Feng Yuheng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she finally sat up. Xuan Tianming didn't sleep either, he looked at her with his eyes open and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Feng Yuheng blinked, pointed at his mask and said, "In the past, it was extremely safe for you to hide such important things in the mask and carry them all day long, but now I think putting it in my space is truly foolproof, what do you think?"
Xuan Tianming felt that what she said made sense, but - "Wife, aren't you unwilling to let other women covet your husband's face? I think that since we have put on this mask, there should be a most special occasion to take it off. For example... our wedding?"
Feng Yuheng twitched his lips, "It's still two years."
"I'm not in a hurry." Someone waved his hand generously, then sat up and said seriously, "But you did remind me. I'll have someone make a new mask that's exactly the same. It's safer to keep this one with you."
Feng Yuheng nodded and stopped talking about this matter. Instead, she said to him, "There is something I have been thinking about these days. The Duanmu family has surrendered to Qian Zhou, but we still don't know to what extent the two sides have colluded and what their purpose is. The Duanmu family is the local tyrant of the three northern provinces. If this status does not change after surrendering to Qian Zhou, then there is no point in surrendering to the enemy."
"It is very likely that Qian Zhou's promise was to carve out the three provinces of the Northern Boundary and give them to the Duanmu family." Xuan Tianming leaned on the cushion and analyzed: "In this case, Qian Zhou's rise is not just as simple as taking back the three provinces of the Northern Boundary."
"That's right." Feng Yuheng continued: "Although it is possible that Qian Zhou does not intend to fulfill his promise to the Duanmu family, after all, the Duanmu family has been stationed in the three provinces of the Northern Boundary for a long time and their power is deeply rooted. If Qian Zhou wants to go back on his word, it won't be that easy."
Xuan Tianming suddenly leaned forward, pressed down the little head in front of him, and asked her vigilantly: "What do you want to do now?"
Feng Yuheng chuckled and said what he was thinking: "Split the troops into two groups. You lead the troops to fight, and I will quietly go ahead and investigate the situation in the northern border."
"No!" He refused without even thinking, "It's too dangerous, don't even think about it."
"It's not dangerous." She reasoned with him, "Xuan Tianming, I, your wife, am carrying a weapon for escape. I have space, so what am I afraid of? Even if I am caught, as long as my hands are not chopped off, I can perform a trick to save my life anytime and anywhere. What's more, my hands can't be chopped off that easily."
Xuan Tianming frowned and stared at the girl in front of him. He suddenly wanted to beat her up. "Haven't you heard that women can't be too strong?"
She asked back, "Did you know from the first day that this princess is so strong? Xuan Tianming, you also know that what I said is right, right? I have the space, so it is not a problem to save my life. The three northern provinces have surrendered to the enemy now, but it is still the territory of Dashun after all. Should we attack the gates of the three provinces or not? If we attack, how should we attack? Do we still want to save the lives of our own people? All these require someone to sneak into the enemy to investigate clearly. Of course, you must have planted spies there a long time ago, but why didn't those spies send back any news? There is no other possibility, there is only one reason, they were discovered."
Xuan Tianming took a deep breath, rubbed Feng Yuheng's head vigorously, and said helplessly: "You!" You are right, but do you understand that I would rather take the risk myself as a prince than see you take one more step into danger. Even though I know that this battle will go much more smoothly if you go, Hengheng, my worry will continue from the first step you take.
The weak pleas in his eyes were exchanged for Feng Yuheng's smile. She said, "Wait for me. See you in a thousand weeks!" Mobile phone:
