Chapter 154: Triumph
"What? Pig, pork?"
Li Jun frowned and seemed to remember some bad memories, because he had eaten this kind of meat once.
In the Dagan Dynasty, the main meat of princes and nobles was beef and mutton. This was the best meat, while pork was fishy and unpalatable. It was the lowest-end and cheapest meat. Only ordinary people living at the bottom would eat it.
Once, because of curiosity, Li Jun asked the chef to make pork to eat, and the taste made him unable to eat for several days.
"There should be many people in the south raise pigs. We will add one more transaction. In addition to ceding Jiangzhou, I also want 100,000 and 200,000 young pigs."
"That's all?"
When Li Jun heard what Liu Feng said, the serious matter was to ask for a young pig, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. The amount was 200,000 yuan, but for him, it was just a small matter. It was not a problem that could be solved with money.
"From your tone, I seem to have to be less, so I will add another 100,000 and make up 300,000."
Li Jun: "······"
With the capture of the second prince Li Jun, the matter of Tang Yuan’s mansion was over.
After another army of cadres learned that the second prince was captured, some generals led troops to rescue him. As a result, they naturally returned in a great defeat. They could not save him. Instead, they gave Liu Feng a lot of merit points. In the end, there were less than 5,000 troops who could safely withdraw the Zhenguo Army in Huzhou.
After this battle, Liu Feng not only obtained a large number of merit points, supplies, and weapons, but when the news of victory was transmitted back to Yecheng, it was immediately inspiring, especially the case of capturing the prince Dagan, which brought his prestige to a new level.
"Report, the lord's army has passed through the ten-mile slope."
On this day, in front of the gate of Yecheng, some famous figures in the entire city gathered outside the gate to welcome Liu Feng's triumphant return.
"The big Gan is really about to be exhausted. Two states were lost in the north. Now even the prince of a country has been arrested by our lord. Now the lord's prestige has increased greatly, and it is as high as the sun."
"Isn't it? Yesterday, when I passed the Qiqi Pavilion, I found that the gate was crowded, and there were many families among them. They all wanted to join the Qiqi Pavilion and serve the lord. However, I heard that there were not many people who could pass the Qiqi Pavilion assessment."
"It's different from the past. Now there are more and more talents under the lord's command. We no longer lack small talents, but we lack big talents. Unfortunately, there are too few such people, and they are rare and hard to come by."
"Congratulations to Mr. Lin. I heard that your daughter was selected and became the lord's concubine. I hope you will take care of me in the future."
"Oh, Brother Qian, don't say that. Everyone will do business together in the future haha."
······
Various sounds at the city gate are intertwined, some are intimate, some are complimenting, and some are very lively.
At the front of the team, Liu Yue and his daughter and four cabinet ministers were on both sides. Behind them were officials and families appointed by Liu Feng, and at the end were representatives of the gentry family in the city.
About half an hour later, Liu Feng's army finally appeared not far from the city gate.
There were only 10,000 troops when they sent troops, but in triumph, the number immediately increased several times, becoming almost 40,000.
"Welcome the lord to return triumphantly!"
When Liu Feng appeared wearing bright light armor and riding a tall horse, all the people outside the city gate, except Liu Yue and his daughter, knelt down and bowed to the mountains and shouted.
"All up and follow me into the city."
Liu Feng said, then rode his horse to Liu Yue and his daughter, and said to Da Ya: "Da Ya, come up quickly, uncle will carry you to ride a horse."
When Da Ya heard this, she immediately raised her hands and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, mom, hug me up."
“No rules.”
Liu Yue scolded her docilely, but she still picked up the big girl and handed it to Liu Feng, and nagged: "You just spoil her. Now this girl is getting crazy. How can she grow up in the future?"
"Sister, you are not as serious as you said. Da Ya is very sensible. It is normal for children to like to play."
Liu Feng smiled, then glanced at the two women wearing veils behind Liu Yue. These two women should be the concubines his sister chose for him.
After the two women noticed Liu Feng's gaze, they immediately took a happy life and said in a sweet voice: "I have seen the master."
The voice is charming and soft, making people feel softer after hearing it.
Liu Feng calmed down and said, "Yes." He rode his horse along the avenue into the city.
"Uncle, I heard that you caught a prince, where is it? Why didn't you see it?"
On the horse's back, Da Ya's face was full of excitement, staring at her big eyes and rumbling around.
Liu Feng hung up Da Ya's little nose and smiled, "He is in the carriage behind him. After you return home, you will see it."
As Liu Feng entered the city, the people who were greeted outside the city also boarded their own carriages or sedan chairs and entered the city.
Unlike the celebration atmosphere in Wencheng, on the other side, when Wuwei Hou and others learned that the second prince was defeated and captured, they were so sad that they could not eat well.
"Mr. Marquis, we must find a way to redeem Your Highness."
Wendi immediately found Wu Weihou, his face full of anxiety.
"Don't be anxious first. The thief will not treat the second prince. What we have to do now is wait patiently for the news. I believe the thief will come to us for the terms soon."
Wu Weihou said as he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. Although he seemed very calm on the surface, his mood was as bitter as this cup of tea. The second prince is one of the most favored princes of the emperor today, and is also the son of the imperial concubine. If the second prince cannot be returned intact, he may not be protected.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have agreed to let him lead his troops to the battle. This time, I really shot myself in the foot.
Cui Kui regretted it in his heart.
In another yard, the third prince Li Chi found the eldest prince Li Xi excitedly, "Boss, have you received the news? The second guy was caught by a thief. Haha, it's so satisfying. This kid likes to show off because he knows some punches and feet. Now it's a tragedy."
"Three, how can you gloat? No matter what, the second brother is also our brother--"
"Don't act anymore. If you are not tired, I'm tired for you and I'm bored."
After Li Chi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
After a while, someone suddenly appeared beside the eldest prince Li Xi.
"Your Highness, this is a good opportunity."
"I know, but no one is allowed to take action. We will not participate in this matter." Li Xi looked at one direction and said quietly.
"yes!"
