A carriage drove quickly on the main road, its long and wide wheels running over the thin snow on the ground, leaving two traces leading directly to Fengxiang City.
The man driving the car in front had a hairband tied around his forehead and his mouth and nose were covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
His leather-covered hands just held the reins casually and controlled the carriage to move forward.
The curtain of the carriage behind him, which was used to block his view, was suddenly lifted open, revealing a handsome face.
Just by looking at his long golden hair, you can know his identity.
It was Hou Qing, the corpse ancestor who had just transferred from the land of Wuyue to the territory of Qi Kingdom.
He carefully looked at the pedestrians around him, all of whom were walking easily and with happy faces, and nodded slightly.

At this time, Wen Tao, who was sitting in front as the coachman, turned his head slightly.
"The last time I went to Qi Country was many years ago. Now, looking at the rule of Qi Country, it is really different from other places. There are more people here than in the Central Plains..."
Hou Qing nodded. He never cared much about this. He just looked at Fengxiang City, which was getting closer.
The shape of the city gradually became clear.
In the middle of the rows of small flags with the word "Qi" on the top of the city, there is a large flag with the word "Tang" dancing in the wind.
All the soldiers standing at arms looked energetic and relaxed.
And just the people coming in and out of the city gate felt like an endless stream, making the generals on duty seem very busy.
Wen Tao suddenly realized that there was no such scene even under Bianzhou City.
He turned his head and looked into the depth of the carriage through the gap between Hou Qing and the carriage rails.
I saw the figure that had been lying there steadily, the snow-white clown face that had been tilted up at the corners of its mouth, now collapsed and became numb.
Only when he noticed Wen Tao's eyes looking over did he come to his senses and turned his eyes, staring at Wen Tao's face.
Wen Tao shrugged and turned his head.
The Mirror Heart Demon was locked in his cave, unable to move or make a sound. He could only stay in the carriage with the equally bored Hou Qing Corpse Ancestor.
It’s painful to think about it…
And this has been the case every day along the way.
Fortunately, this state of affairs is about to end...
The carriage quickly followed the flow of people and arrived at the gate of Fengxiang City. After moving at a snail's speed, it finally entered Fengxiang City.
Once inside the city, it became increasingly crowded.
In the past six months, not to mention the refugees who have gathered from all over the world to Qi Country, many merchants and gentry have purchased real estate in Fengxiang City and started doing business.
There is no way, there are many people here, and it is more stable than the Central Plains and the Northland, which are war-torn every year.
Moreover, Qi State now holds two large grain-producing lands in Guanzhong and Hanzhong. In addition to supplying the army, the food stored in it can also provide some timely relief to refugees from all sides.
As refugees in the past six months, driven by government decrees from all parties, young adults from good families can serve as soldiers, or they can find a job as a helper or coolie in this increasingly populous country, and they can always survive.
And more people were introduced into the Hanzhong area and used as farming.
Even when Wen Tao and Hou Qing came along, they could see newly built shacks and houses starting to be built in many villages and towns in Qi Kingdom.
What the people are looking for is stability. Wherever they can eat and live, they will run.
Therefore, some of the refugees who were lost from Jin and the Central Plains went all the way south, and some poured in towards Qi State.
Maybe Qiguo's belt will be tightened a little at first, but after a year, the benefits will definitely be obvious.

Wen Tao and Hou Qing were greeted by Fanyintian, Miaochengtian and Xuanjingtian, the three holy ladies who had met Hou Qing several times.
Because it was known in advance, the process here was very low-key. The carriage made a short circle in Fengxiang City before quietly turning into another secret door of Huanyin Workshop.
Wen Tao is already very disciplined at this moment.
Since he entered Huanyin Square, he didn't look sideways and only dared to stare at the bluestone floor tiles under his feet.
As Li Jing's back garden, he was not sure which woman he saw had nothing to do with Li Jing.
But fortunately, Fanyintian only placed Hou Qing and him in the front hall of Huanyinfang, and the Mirror Heart Demon sat upright next to them.
There was no one around now, so Wen Tao took a look at the surrounding layout comfortably, and then looked at Hou Qing opposite who was just drinking tea indifferently.
"Hou Qing Corpse Ancestor, Brother Li, does he really want to be...here?"
Now that he thought about the contents of the previous letter, his head felt numb.
There are actually many emperors in this world, but in the past ten years, this is the first time someone has ascended to the throne in the name of Li Tang...
But the commander doesn’t seem to know about this?
Or did he know about it but acquiesced?
After hearing Wen Tao's question, Hou Qing thought carefully about the relationship between Li Jing and the empress, and shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I shouldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
To be honest, Corpse Ancestor just wants to tinker with his hang glider in the military camp outside.
Ever since he rescued Li Jing from Yuan Tiangang and damaged the glider, he had no time to build another one.
As for the Mirror Heart Demon, who was sitting beside the two of them, unable to move or speak, he could only roll his eyes and wonder what riddles they were talking about.
At this time, a steady sound of footsteps finally sounded from outside.
Wen Tao's face lit up and he looked outside.
No matter what happened before, if Li Jing really wants to become emperor, if he relies on Li Jing's power in the future, he might be able to form a golden captain.
Similarly, Mirror Heart Demon's snow-white clown face also rolled his eyes and looked outside.
Sure enough, it was Li Jing who walked into the room from the corridor outside.
Compared with the appearance he saw nearly a month ago, Li Jing looks more heroic now.
I wonder if he just came back from the military camp. He is still wearing a military uniform with narrow sleeves, and he is also wearing a soft armor that has never been seen before.
I don’t know if it was due to a misunderstanding, but Wen Tao felt that he hadn’t seen her for a month.
Li Jing's young face actually had a sense of majesty that he dared not look at for a long time.
"Your Highness..."
With these thoughts in his mind, Wen Tao was about to kneel down and bow down, but was driven back two steps by Li Jing, who stretched out his hand to hold him firmly.
"I thought it would take two days for Corpse Ancestor to meet you, but I never thought we would arrive today! It's a thousand miles away, but it's hard work to come to Fengxiang like this..."
With the relationship between Hou Qing and Li Jing, there was no need to stand up to greet him like ordinary people, but he still stood up and clapped his hand bone flute seriously.
"Although I really want to see the sacred book, it is necessary to come back in such a big event for Brother Li."
Li Jingshen's corpse ancestor was a person who couldn't say enough. He just laughed and pulled the two of them to sit down.
Then he looked at the speechless Mirror Heart Demon and threw a silver needle out of his hand.
"Mirror Heart Demon, you and I can have a good time catching up now."
