It is early spring now. Although the ice and snow have not completely melted, the temperature has warmed up.
As long as he has the plan in place, he can start construction at any time.
Since I'm going to do it, I'll build a house that suits my general temperament.
I can't always be like an old farmer.
Otherwise, when Qian Mu came to pick up his bride, she would laugh at his shabby appearance.
Since it was Liu Yan who proposed the bathing pool, why was Liu Feng so happy about this girl?
No, Liu Yan must be the one to serve you in bed tonight.
How can we let such a considerate girl stay alone in an empty room?
Early the next morning, Liu Feng began the operation. All the persons in charge of various departments could only say one word, in a word, it was extremely urgent.
The two brick kilns in Siwa Village and Shanggou Village worked overtime to produce bricks. All the stones from the mine were pulled down the mountain, and all other construction gave way to building houses.
Gather everyone and build the house as quickly as possible.
After making all the arrangements, he rode alone towards Tianyong City. Since Linghu Zheng had sent a letter, he had to go.
Arriving at the gate of the Linghu family's mansion, Liu Feng first went to the outside of Xuanwu Jia's military camp.
From a distance, you can see that the once bustling military camp is now empty and the number of people has dropped sharply.
The remaining Xuanwu armors were busy packing up. Their army was almost wiped out, and the main force packing up now were the craftsmen and laborers who followed the army.
It seems that Xuanwu Jia is about to return to the capital.
Linghu Zheng's plan to cut off the old man's source of trouble finally worked.
It was this process that made Liu Feng angry whenever he thought about it. After all, he almost lost his life because of it.
After that, he arrived at the gate of Linghu's house again. The old housekeeper saw that it was Liu Feng and welcomed Liu Feng in with a smile.
At this moment, Linghu Zheng was already waiting in the study.
Seeing that it was Liu Feng who came in, Linghu Zheng smiled and pointed at a chair for Liu Feng to sit down, and then he spoke slowly.
"I heard that you went to Dasan Pass and got along very well with the Qian family."
"I also heard that you are planning to marry Qian Mu's niece?"
Linghu Zheng asked questions with a smile. Although the questions seemed simple, each one hit the point directly.
Liu Feng had a clear feeling that the current Linghu Zheng was completely different from the Linghu Zheng he knew before.
The current Linghu Zheng no longer has that magnanimous and patriotic spirit, but is instead full of calculations.
But Liu Feng was very clear that this was still the same Linghu Zheng, and perhaps he would never change.
He had just taken off his previous disguise, and the Linghu Zheng in front of him was his true face.
If the Northern Barbarian Army was still besieging Tianyong City, or if Linghu Xiaoshan, who had returned to the capital, received the proper reward and was not placed under house arrest, he would definitely continue to disguise himself.
He would never show his ferocious fangs so quickly.
For a long time, Linghu Zheng had the final say on all matters big and small in Tianyong City, and Magistrate Zhang was often just a figurehead.
In Tianyong City, he has always loved the people like his own children, managed the army well, and is deeply loved by the people. But is the current Linghu Zheng in conflict with the previous Linghu Zheng?
In Liu Feng's opinion, there is no conflict.
Tianyong City is his base camp. He has been running it for so many years, so he must give it his all, and the people's hearts are his first priority.
As for why he led his own army to fight against the Northern Barbarians and defend the city at the risk of his life, it was because Linghu Xiaoshan came with the Fengling Army.
On the other hand, and the most important reason, Linghu Zheng wanted to protect his own foundation.
In fact, Linghu Zheng has always been the same Linghu Zheng and has never changed.
"Yes, this trip to Dasan Pass was indeed fruitful."
"I blame myself for this. I'm good at everything except beauty."
Linghu nodded in understanding.
"But I'm curious. If there ever comes a war between the Qian family and me, who will you support?"
Liu Feng replied with a smile: "Is there any need to ask? It must be to help you. The Qian family is just marrying a niece to me, but old general, you have given me so much help."
"Besides, the Qian family is in Dasan Pass, where the mountains are high and the roads are long. The natural barrier is a natural barrier for the march. Even if we want to help, we can only think about it. There is no way to help at all."
"The most important thing is, without your help along the way, I wouldn't have the Tiger Roar Army."
“My greatest ability is gratitude.”
Linghu Zheng laughed heartily, then nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, Linghu Zheng knew very well that this was just Liu Feng's excuse.
He had long witnessed Liu Feng's intelligence and ability. Such a person was difficult to control, and Linghu Zheng knew it.
What's more, Linghu Zheng's spies told Liu Feng everything he did at Dasan Pass in the secret letter, which had already created a rift between him and Linghu Zheng.
Since there is already a rift, it cannot be resolved with just a few high-sounding words.
"I told you before that I would tell you the truth after I solved the problem of Xuanwu Jia. I still mean what I said."
"It's actually quite simple. I wasn't originally a member of the Tiandihui, but later on I received funding from them, so I decided to help them rebel."
Liu Feng had guessed this a long time ago, so Linghu Zheng's words did not surprise Liu Feng.
Liu Feng could even predict what Linghu Zheng would say next.
Next, he would definitely praise the Tiandihui and hope that Liu Feng could work together, etc.
"To be honest, the Tiandihui has deep roots in Yanzhou. In a sense, it's not an exaggeration to say that the Tiandihui rules Youzhou."
"They also control millions of descendants of the former Wei Kingdom, all of whom are loyal believers of the Tiandihui."
"People are just the tip of the iceberg of the Tiandihui. The most important thing is that the Tiandihui controls many businesses, and the money they earn is enough to arm a million-strong army."
"Among the common people, they have millions of followers as their fresh army. In the imperial court, they have placed a large number of officials in the government through bribery, sending scholars to take the imperial examinations, and so on. Even the people around the emperor, the people around him, are all spies of the Tiandihui."
Linghu Zheng suddenly stopped drinking tea, but his eyes were secretly observing Liu Feng's reaction.
Liu Feng had expected this in his heart, but pretended to be surprised. In fact, he could imagine that after hundreds of years of development, the Tiandihui must be very powerful, but it was not powerful to such a terrifying extent.
Millions of descendants of the Wei Kingdom are all believers of the Tiandihui. This number of people is enough to account for a quarter of the entire population of Yanzhou.
The scariest thing is not the large number of people. The scariest thing is that these people are distributed in all walks of life throughout Yanzhou. They may seem inconspicuous at ordinary times, but when they are actually used, they will be a huge force.
Even if Linghu Zheng was exaggerating, and arming a million-strong army was unrealistic, with such a powerful influence, it was more than enough to mobilize an army of 100,000.
This is just Yanzhou. What about Youzhou, which is adjacent to Yanzhou?
If their reputations were also riddled with holes, the situation would be dire.
