Chapter 580 Meet the British Duke

No matter whether it is in the martial arts or in the ruling and opposition parties, even those who have never seen Chen Feng, most of them must have heard of it.

The garrison far away on the border can name Chen Feng with a gold medal, which shows his reputation.

"I'm going to East Chagatai Khan. I'm temporarily resting in Congling City. You don't need to tell the public. By the way, are there any people from the Jianghu who are visiting Congling City in the past few days?"

The soldier shook his head: "There are no quacks."

Chen Feng had some doubts in his heart and said: "If there are people from the world coming, you can let them go, but remember to notify me as soon as possible."

"Obey!" The soldiers agreed without saying a word, even though they obeyed the commander of the frontier army, they did not dare to disobey in front of Chen Feng.Although most of the people in the capital knew about the delicate relationship between Chen Feng and the crown prince, most of the people outside the capital didn't know about it. Everyone still regarded Chen Feng as the number one under the emperor.

Chen Feng and his party entered the city. The buildings here are very different from those in the Central Plains. It is obviously a big fortress, and half of it is occupied by the army.The area where the common people live is just like some small cities in the Central Plains.

But it is such a remote small place, full of businessmen, and the trade is very developed.After all, it is a necessary place on the Silk Road, and it is almost a gathering place for trade between China and the West.

If there is trade, inns and restaurants are naturally indispensable.Chen Feng and his party lived in the largest restaurant in the city, named Wangxilou.

There are many houses, Chen Feng and his party directly asked for ten rooms.

The time to live here will not be too long, as soon as everyone is ready, everyone will go across Congling to the Western Regions.

But Chen Feng has always been doubtful. They came from the capital. Logically speaking, many sects are closer to the Western Region, so they should arrive faster.

But so far, no sect has arrived, which is a bit strange.

It cannot be ruled out that they entered Congling City in disguise, or sneaked in, in order to deceive others.

Therefore, when Chen Feng went to find these people, it was better to wait and see what happened.When 21 of them entered the city, they were all swaggering and conspicuous.A group of people asked for another ten rooms in the expensive Wangxi Building, and I believe it will soon spread among the public.If someone from the Martial Arts Alliance is already in the city, they will definitely find them by themselves.

Stayed in Wangxi Building for one night, but no one came to visit at night.

With doubts, Chen Feng wanted to go out to have a look, and he was going to look out of the west building by himself.But just as he went out, he saw a group of people rushing over from the street.

It looked like they were all frontier soldiers, but within the team of the frontier soldiers, there were actually ten people dressed as imperial city guards, and these people surrounded a carriage.

The team lined up in front of Wangxi Building, and the people in the carriage also got off.

The person who came down looked like an official in his 50s or [-]s, but Chen Feng always felt that his actual age was a little older.People in ancient times had a short lifespan, so they generally looked old.Unless it is a martial arts practitioner.But the person in front of him is obviously not a martial arts practitioner. Judging from his official robes, he should have an extraordinary status, but his majestic appearance makes him look extraordinarily young.

The people around were all respectful to him, but when he saw Chen Feng, he kept looking at him with a smile.

Chen Feng also looked at him. Although the two had never met, they felt that they were very familiar with each other at this moment.

"Chen Consort!"

"British Duke!"

The two said each other's name at the same time, and then smiled knowingly.It seems that Chen Feng is right, the person in front of him is the British Duke Zhang Fu, and Zhu Di once gave him a gold medal, although he accepted it on behalf of his father, that is, he received it on behalf of Hejian King Zhang Yu, but Zhang Fu can say It is the blue that comes out of the blue and is better than the blue, and its contribution to the court must not be ignored.

Today's Zhang Fu is a hereditary British prince, the official residence of the Taishi, and is in charge of the affairs of the Chinese military governor's office.Ten years ago, he was powerful in the southwest.After that, it was an important figure who participated in the Northern Expedition.It was only after Zhu Di's death that Zhu Gaochi asked him to return to Beijing to serve.His position in the army is definitely one of the best.

There are not many people Chen Feng admires in the court, and Zhang Fu is one of them.It's just that Chen Feng is busy with Jianghu affairs, and Zhang Fu is entangled in military affairs.Even if he married An Le back then, Zhang Fu didn't have time to attend, so the two did not meet each other.

There is a saying that heroes are sympathetic to each other, and the two have a feeling for each other when they meet for the first time. Chen Feng doesn't need to show the gold medal, and Zhang Fu doesn't need to be introduced, the two already know each other's identities.

"Prince Yingying, why are you in Congling City?" Chen Feng asked, while stepping forward to greet him.

Zhang Fu also walked out of the team and stood side by side with Chen Feng. While walking into Wangxi Tower, they chatted like old friends: "I was ordered by the prince to monitor the situation on the border of the Western Regions..."

The emperor was seriously ill and comatose, Zhu Zhanji was most worried about two things.One is rebellion, and the other is foreign invasion.Chen Feng didn't know many things. When Zhu Di had just died, the Tatars in the north launched the craziest offensive against Daming in recent years.Fortunately, Zhang Fu was in charge and gave the Tatars a head-on blow, which allowed them to settle down.

Now the new emperor is seriously ill again, and the north is still unable to recover from Zhang Fu's blow back then.The southwest has long been stable, so Zhu Zhanji is most worried about the west.

Zhang Fu was sent here to monitor the movements of the countries in the Western Regions and the garrison of the frontier troops.

This is also the trust in Zhang Fu. If it is someone else, how can he settle the border matter alone?
Chen Feng and Zhang Fu sat in the west building, and they had a few drinks. Although there was a thirty year difference in age, and the time they spent together was extremely short, they seemed to be old friends.

Speaking of having fun, Chen Feng couldn't help but complain.

"When the first emperor was still alive, I was able to talk back to him. The current Emperor Hongxi also regards me as a brother, but what about this crown prince? He actually plots against me in different ways. How can this make me willing to serve the court again? "

I don't know if Chen Feng's words were too disrespectful, Zhang Fu suddenly lost his voice.After all, not everyone is as unscrupulous as Chen Feng. When Zhu Di was around, he even threatened Zhu Di's life.Who would dare to do such a big rebellion?
Chen Feng was a little unhappy when he found that Zhang Fu was silent.I thought that Zhang Fu should be different from the others, but now it seems that he is also a running dog of the imperial court.In fact, Chen Feng's forbearance ability is also very strong. If it wasn't because of Xie Wenxue's matter, he wouldn't have said that about Zhu Zhanji behind his back.

"Drink too much, the British prince must not take my words seriously, I'd better go back to the room to wash and sleep."

Chen Feng was about to get up, but Zhang Fu suddenly reached out and pressed his shoulder.Zhang Fu doesn't know martial arts, how can he restrain Chen Feng.It's just that he had something to say from his appearance, so Chen Feng didn't resist at all.

"Madam Chen, you have to be considerate of the prince, he wants the Ming Dynasty to prosper more than any other emperor. The prerequisite for ruling the world is naturally the absolute consolidation of the throne. But most of you who know martial arts How can the crown prince feel at ease when he is outside the rule of the court? The emperor regards you as a relative, and even does not see you at all. It is because of his character, but not every emperor has this character. Throughout Throughout the dynasties, almost every emperor has attached great importance to his majesty. How many people who offend the majesty of the emperor will end well?"

Chen Feng was silent, and Zhang Fu said: "I know you have your grievances, but the prince also has his concerns. No matter what happened between you and him, I will not judge who is right and who is wrong, I only hope that the Ming Dynasty can prosper and peace."

What he meant was to remind Chen Feng not to escalate the conflict.Small fights are fine, but if it harms the prosperity of the country, it is wrong.

At that time, no one would say that Zhu Zhanji was wrong, and all the infamy would only be added to Chen Feng's head.Because it is still the feudal era ruled by the emperor, but no one dares to hold the emperor accountable.

"Thank you, Mr. Yingying, for reminding me." Chen Feng thanked him sincerely. It seems that Zhang Fu was misunderstood before. Zhang Fu is not afraid of the emperor, but he sees some things more clearly, and what he cares about is the whole world.

Afterwards Zhang Fu changed the subject and asked: "Consort Chen, why did you come to Congling City this time? If I can help, I will do my best to help."

Not many people know about this action of the Wulin Alliance, especially those outside of the Wulin, only Zhu Zhanji and a few others know about it, so Zhang Fu is naturally not clear...
