We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

The location that Li Che found on the map was still a wasteland.

If time and space could jump, in the future of another world, a small town would appear here.

Jilin City.

As the only city in the country with the same name as a province, Jilin City faces Changbai Mountain in the distance and surrounds Songhua River nearby. It is also known as the River City of the North.

This city may not be well-known enough, but it is of great significance to Li Che. It is his true hometown and the place where he has lived for nearly twenty years.

Although he knew in his heart that the city no longer existed at this moment, it was just a primitive wasteland jungle.

But he still wanted to see what his hometown looked like in ancient times in another world.

"This..." Yeluhe touched his head, "Your Highness, you may not know that because the population is sparse, the forest is full of pheasants. The locals call this place 'Chicken Forest'."

"That forest is extremely desolate. Even uncivilized barbarians wouldn't go there. If Your Highness were to camp there, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient."

"Jilin?" Li Che suddenly looked at Yeluhe, "Is that really the name?"

Yelu He quickly replied, "How dare I deceive Your Highness?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Li Che laughed heartily, and seemed to be in a very good mood suddenly.

"I see."

Li Che had read the history of his hometown before and had some understanding of the origin of the word "Jilin".

In the 15th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the Ningguta general moved to Jilin, renamed it "Jilin Ula City", and built a shipbuilding factory here.

Jilin Ula is Manchu, meaning a city along the river. Later, Ula was removed and it was shortened to Jilin.

Now, Li Che found it even more interesting to learn another version of the name's origin from the locals in another world.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. This place is not far away. I must go there today to take a look!"

All the generals looked at each other.

Although His Highness is young, he behaves maturely. Although many of the things he did after being crowned queen were shocking, he never acted arbitrarily.

Today was the first time they saw the willfulness of a young man in Li Che.

However, seeing that big guys like Huo Duanxiao and Chen Pingzhi did not speak to dissuade them, it was naturally difficult for others to refute them.

Gather the troops and escort Li Che along the river.

Not long after walking, Li Che saw a dense forest, so lush and green that there was no end in sight.

Li Che was stunned while riding on his horse, and released the falcon in his hand.

Xiaoqing chirped a few times and flew into the sky. After circling in the air three times, it flapped its wings and returned to Li Che.

Squatting on Li Che's shoulder and looking sideways, a hint of human doubt appeared in his eyes.

It seems to be asking: Why did you let me go when you have nothing?

Li Che laughed in silence.

Xiaoqing saw nothing. The forest was as deserted as it looked.

Yes, Jilin was originally a shipyard. If the forest was not dense and easy to cut down, why would a factory be built here?

I have returned to my hometown, but it doesn't look like my hometown at all.

If you think about it carefully, if there were no humans living there, your hometown would indeed have no iconic landforms.

There is no old bridge or new bridge across the city, no "rowing man" statue standing in the city center, and no shipyard ruins.

Since the Fengman Hydropower Station has not been built yet, the Songhua River is not yet the "unfrozen river", so even the wonder of rime will not appear.

There were still a few mountains standing around, but Li Che looked up and around, and he couldn't match them up by memory no matter what.

Seeing their prince standing here, silent like a statue, the generals did not dare to disturb him.

In the end, it was Huo Duanxiao who gave the order and everyone set up camp.

Li Che got off his horse and walked alone to the river at the end of the woods.

Ying Bu, Hu Qiang and others were worried and could only follow from a distance.

He didn't know how long he walked until the waves on the river bank hit his boots, and Li Che came to his senses.

After taking a deep breath, he finally smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Even the smell in my memory doesn't match.

Hu Qiang, who was in the distance, stuffed an egg into his mouth, then poked Qu Jinshan beside him and said incoherently, "Hey."

There were indeed a lot of pheasants here. Not long after they arrived, some soldiers picked up a lot of pheasant eggs.

Qu Jinshan stared blankly at Li Che's back in the distance. He seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and said with a serious expression: "I know what Commander Hu wants to ask. Your Highness is a little unusual today. He must be worried about something."

Hu Qiang touched his head in confusion.

"I've never seen Your Highness so... confused. What could be worrying Your Highness? The situation is very favorable now. As long as our Fengtian Army captures Yelu Dahe and defeats the Shiwei reinforcements, we will be the true overlord outside the Great Wall!"

"By then, Your Highness will truly be 'beyond the mountains and seas, all is yours,' and our Feng Kingdom will become the most powerful vassal state of Daqing, one that even the imperial court will not dare to despise."

"It must be something very important that could make His Highness act like this. I'm afraid it must be a matter of great importance to the nation and the people! Could it be that... His Highness has made another step forward..."

Qu Jinshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Hu Qiang: "Commander Hu, I didn't know you had such meticulous thoughts..."

"No, what are you talking about?"

Hu Qiang looked at Qu Jinshan doubtfully and pointed at the egg in his hand: "I want to ask you, do you want to eat the egg in your hand? If not, can you give it to me?"

Qu Jinshan:? ? ?

. . . . . .

Li Che stayed here for one night. He had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn't tell anyone.

It was not until the next morning that the Fengtian Army had completed its repairs and was ready to continue pursuing Yelu Daha.

Li Che had come out of his trance, holding a gun in one hand and coming to the front of the team to serve under the king's banner.

Feeling Huo Duanxiao's gaze, Li Che smiled slightly: "Zhengze, do you have something to ask?"

Huo Duanxiao also smiled and replied, "If Your Highness does not speak, I will not ask. But if Your Highness has any doubts in your heart, I am willing to share your worries."

Li Che smiled and shook his head, no longer confused.

I am no longer the small town test-taker from the riverside town, and all the things in my past life are just the past.

Now he is Feng Wang Li Che, surrounded by countless loyal soldiers, and even outstanding and loyal colleagues like Huo Duanxiao.

There are still large tracts of land in the world waiting for me to conquer and cultivate... There are also several continents on the other side of the sea waiting for me to plant the flag of my country.

The time traveler Li Che can't find the way to his hometown, so let King Feng Li Che create a hometown!

"Zhengze, what do you think about building a city here?" Li Che suddenly asked.

Huo Duanxiao was stunned for a moment, then replied, "This place is surrounded by mountains on four sides and water on three sides, is adjacent to the river, and has such rich timber resources. It is a good place to build a city. Your Highness is truly dedicated to the country and has not forgotten state affairs even now."

Li Che grinned: "Zhengze is a master of calculation, but this is the only thing he miscalculated."

"Oh?" Huo Duanxiao was confused.

"What I said at this moment is the only time that I have been completely selfish."
