In just one month, he conquered a solid fortress guarded by heavy troops without any blood. If he hadn't experienced it personally, Li Zhang would never have believed that such an unbelievable thing could happen in the world.
Li Zhang even felt a sense of despair in his heart. The longer he was in contact with Qin Feng, the more Li Zhang felt that he could not match Qin Feng's level.
Li Zhang, who had been restless and restless since Qin Feng decided to attack Xiongying Ridge, had silently sat back on his chair.
His expression was complicated, I couldn't tell whether it was admiration or confusion.
Lin Quqi understood Li Zhang's mood best. He stood up and walked to Li Zhang, patted Li Zhang's shoulder gently, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be too harsh on yourself."
"Brother Qin is a great talent, not only in military affairs, but also in politics, people's livelihood, merchants, and even ingenuity. He is among the best."
"How long has it been since Brother Qin got involved in business? Brother Qin has already become the leading family member in Daliang. He was granted the title of Tianluhou. Although he is not in name only, he is the real King of the North. At the same time, he single-handedly developed the Tianji Camp. , those many ingenious tools were pioneered by Brother Qin."
"Now, although Brother Qin is not the richest man in the world, he can definitely be counted among the top ten in the world."
"These achievements show that Brother Qin's talents are unprecedented. As for whether there will be others in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so within a hundred years! Such talents are not just the prince, but who in the world can compare with them?"
Lin Quqi's words not only comforted Li Zhang, but also comforted himself.
After all, Qin Feng's literary talent is obvious to all. His poem "Out of the Fortress" is famous all over the world and has been recited to this day. The accomplishments of this poem alone are enough for Lin Quqi to devote his whole life to it.
Xu Mo, who was on the side, never paid much attention to Qin Feng's achievements. He didn't even regard Qin Feng as a target to catch up with.
Xu Mo said boldly: "Some people are destined to be generals. I am very satisfied if I can follow Brother Qin."
"As long as you fulfill your duties, you can follow Brother Qin and leave your name in history!"
Li Zhang secretly sighed and sighed in his heart: "Yes, as long as you follow Qin Feng, even if you do nothing, it will be enough to be famous forever. Since you can't be the first, then strive for the second!"
Li Zhang's confused and hesitant eyes suddenly became firm. He had already made up his mind and vowed to make every effort to become Qin Feng's number one counselor!
The three of them did not realize that the conversation in the county government office just now was overheard by Shen Qingci who was hiding behind the door curtain.
After learning that Qin Feng had conquered Xiongying Ridge, Shen Qingci's mood that had been hanging around for many days finally came to an end. Because of his pride, his face turned into a rosy cloud.
Shen Qingci bit her thin lips and murmured in a low voice: "Feng'er, I didn't expect you to actually capture Xiongying Ridge. I thought..."
"It's not important anymore! Tell mother and Qianying the good news quickly."
Shen Qingci quickly turned around and went to the backyard. At this time, Qin Cheng was the only one sitting at the stone table, busy day after day. Qin Cheng took care of all the maid's work, including picking up millet husks, cleaning debris from beans, and mending clothes.
Seeing Mrs. Qin Cheng sewing a fur hat to keep out the cold, Shen Qingci couldn't help but feel angry.
"Mother, of course there will be people doing these rough and tiring jobs. If you have nothing to do, you can bask in the sun or ask the maids to take you out for a walk. Now the county town is getting more and more lively. In addition to Tianjiying's own business, , merchants from all over the city also came to open shops in the city."
"Besides, it doesn't cost much to buy this leather hat, so why bother sewing it yourself?"
"It's so cold now, don't freeze."
This was not the first time Shen Qingci tried to dissuade Qin Cheng, but as usual, Qin Cheng just smiled and didn't stop at all.
"I can help you a little bit, but you can't just eat for free, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci laughed angrily: "You are Feng'er's mother. Even Feng'er will kneel down and worship you when he sees you. Not to mention eating free rice, even if he is supported by the whole city, then It’s also a matter of course.”
"Not just in Beixi County, but in the entire northern border, who dares to say no?"
Mrs. Qin Cheng still shook her head and chuckled. After living in Beixi County for so many years, she had worn out her violent spirit. She was no longer the first-class lady who dominated the capital and dared to sue the prince.
Once the character of thrift and diligence is developed, it is difficult to change. Moreover, as Qin Feng's mother, she would cause unnecessary sensation wherever she went, so she rarely went out unless she had to. Living in the backyard of the county government office all day long, if I don't find something to do for myself, I'm afraid it won't take long before something goes wrong.
"Qing Ci, as Feng'er's family members, we need to reflect on ourselves."
"The greater Feng'er's fame and status, the more cautious we must be and not be ostentatious. Otherwise, the slightest carelessness may ruin Feng'er's reputation. Throughout ancient and modern times, are there many examples of being dragged down by family members and leading to ruined reputations? ?”
Hearing this, Shen Qingci couldn't help but sigh.
In terms of state of mind and character, I am not one ten thousandth as good as my mother.
Shen Qingci had no choice but to stop and let Qin Cheng go about his business. He immediately sat across from him and said excitedly: "Mother, there is good news from the front line. Feng'er has conquered Xiongying Ridge!"
Qin Cheng's movements paused for a moment, then immediately returned to normal, with a slight smile on her lips.
"This time Feng'er was passing through Beixi County, but he didn't even want to go into the city to see his family. My mother really resented him, but now it seems that she was being cautious. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Feng'er didn't go into the city. That’s right too.”
Shen Qingci was so smart, how could he not understand that Qin Cheng's words were trying to excuse Jing Qianying.
After all, Jing Qianying has stayed behind closed doors since Qin Feng went to the front line, and anyone can detect the resentment in Jing Qianying.
Jing Qianying, who had always been indifferent, was actually the most sensitive person.
At this moment, the door opened and Jing Qianying walked out with her head lowered. She saluted Mrs. Qin Cheng and blamed herself: "Mom, I'm too narrow-minded. It's only my fault that Feng'er passed by the house and didn't come in. But they forgot that soldiers are valuable and quick.”
"If Feng'er delayed the fight because she went to the city to reunite with her family, we are all sinners."
Qin Cheng smiled and waved, motioning for Jing Qianying to come over, gently caressing the back of Jing Qianying's hand, and whispered softly: "Qianying, I know that your usual indifference is all to protect yourself. In fact, deep down in your bones, He is the most sensitive and vulnerable person."
"You remember all Feng'er's promises to you, so if there is a slight discrepancy, you will be at a loss."
"Don't worry, everything Feng'er promised you will come true."
