Chapter 144 Wolong
Outside the city gate, everyone who was still gathering in the noise of the birds was full of fear, all of whom were showing their hearts.
Only then did they remember something.
The Black Flag Army is a blood-filled demonic army. Their name, known as the world's number one iron army, was made up of countless enemies' blood and bones.
As long as you are from Lin'an, you will never forget everything that happened that day.
Zhebet's peerless magical arrow that took the enemy's life thousands of meters away, Qin Yong's unparalleled bronze lion, and the fierce and ruthless black flag soldiers who were fearless and cruel.
All of this shows that this army full of domineering and murderous intent is a cold army that regards human life as a mustard of grass.
They are by no means good.
Xu Haifeng no longer paid attention to their feelings and fears, but turned his head and asked Jiang Kongming with a pleasant look: "Mr. Military Advisor, do you dislike this name?"
Xia Yajun silently withdrew her jade palm and slowly left without everyone's attention, as if she had never appeared before, and did not attract anyone's attention from beginning to end.
Of course, this has to do with her veil on her face and a thick gray cotton jacket on her body. Otherwise, with her peerless face and exquisite figure, it would be impossible not to attract attention.
Jiang Kongming turned a blind eye to what had just happened. He took a few steps forward and came under the three big words. He pretended to think for a while, and said, "Lin'an, Lin'an. He lives in one side and seeks peace. In the end, he will become a slave to the destruction of the country. How can the lord continue to use this ominous name?"
Xu Haifeng nodded and asked, "Since that's the case, what name should be changed to?"
Jiang Kongming smiled and said, "In the opinion of students, it is better to call it Wolong."
"Wolong? Wolong is in the wild... What a Wolong." Xu Haifeng praised.
"It is the lying dragon in the wild. If it doesn't fly, it will be gone. If it doesn't fly, it will soar into the sky. If it doesn't whirl, it will be amazing." Jiang Kongming said word by word.
Xu Haifeng laughed loudly. At this time, anyone could see the joy of the commander of the Black Flag Army, and was obviously very satisfied with the name.
"General Tong." Xu Haifeng laughed and called out.
Tong Yifeng's face changed a few times as they spoke. When he heard his greeting, his heart tightened for no reason and immediately stepped forward and said, "What are the instructions of the general?"
Xu Haifeng pointed to the three gold-mounted characters on the top of his head with his hand and said, "General Lai Tong changed these three characters to Wolong."
Tong Yifeng opened his mouth, wanted to speak but stopped, and finally responded: "Yes, the official will obey the order."
His expression naturally could not escape Xu and Jiang.
Xu Haifeng smiled and said, "General Tong, you and I are old friends. Just say something directly. Why bother hilariously? I will imitate my daughter's mother-in-law."
Tong Yifeng looked at him and suddenly whispered: "Is it too early to change the name now?"
Xu Haifeng's eyes lit up, and when he turned around, he also showed a hint of surprise when he saw Jiang Kongming. He didn't expect that he would underestimate the old fox after all.
"So what does General Tong mean?" Xu Haifeng asked.
"The following officials' views are not at the time." Tong Yifeng replied seriously.
"Oh, the student wants to ask for advice. When will it be the time?" Jiang Kongming asked lonely.
Tong Yifeng pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the Hun army was gathering in the north, and hundreds of thousands of Caesars were also mobilized frequently. As a result, the court could not take care of itself. Whether the general changed his name or not, he should do whatever he wanted."
Xu Haifeng glanced at him and saw Jiang Kongming giving him a thumbs up. He immediately understood and said, "What a general, Xu, who is not aware of Mount Tai, please forgive me for offending in the past."
"The general praised it, but the subordinates just used their own self to promote others, and they felt a little bit." Tong Yifeng said modestly.
"The general is too humble. Since the general is a person who understands the truth, then what are the plans for the general in the future?" Xu Haifeng asked tentatively.
Tong Yifeng immediately bowed and said, "The lower-ranking officials are old, but they are really willing but not capable enough. It is already content to be able to manage this city."
Xu and Jiang sighed inwardly. This person had a vicious look. Just from Jiang Kongming's words, he could see that Xu Haifeng had great ambitions. A small Lin'an City was definitely not his place to stay for a long time.
However, to their surprise, he was sought after by his age, his energy and courage, and he did not seek further. As long as he could maintain the throne of this acting city lord, he would be rejected with satisfaction.
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly. The world is so big, so many people hide dragons and lie on tigers.
At this point, he realized that when Xiang Ming first met Tong Yifeng, he also looked ignorant. Until he had been in contact with him, he became more and more polite to him. From this, it can be seen that Xiang Ming had already seen this talent, so he specially recommended him as the acting city lord at the end.
Xu Haifeng admired the vision of this righteous brother.
If Tong Yifeng had no real skills, how could he be ranked among the generals as a general without anyone's support? His political sense is definitely first-class. If this person's talent can also match him, then a mere city lord would be useless.
Xu Haifeng didn't believe his reason, but he didn't need to worry about this. With Jiang Kongming, a super military advisor who is as smart as a ghost, how to ignite Tong Yifeng's hope of getting promoted and making money, he will find a way.
The attitude between people depends on each other's status and knowledge.
Since he knew that Tong Yifeng was indeed available, Xu Haifeng's attitude towards him was no longer cold, but polite.
Tong Yifeng was not surprised at the arrival of the three major families and had already prepared their temporary residence in the city.
Although it is far from the magnificent beauty of the three families in the capital, it is extremely rare in a hurry, which further shows that this person is extremely efficient in his work.
After sending personnel from the three major families into their respective mansions, Xu Haifeng and his daughters lived in a dignified manner directly into the largest and best building in the city, Tufan Palace.
After a long journey, Xu Haifeng sent the girls down to rest and returned to the main hall by himself.
Jiang Kongming and Tong Yifeng had a great time talking here. When they saw Xu Haifeng coming out, they all stood up and saluted.
Xu Haifeng noticed that Tong Yifeng's eyes were already a little respectful when he looked at Jiang Kongming, and he suddenly felt funny. Jiang Kongming was taking the opportunity to show off his talent again.
His rich knowledge, which seemed to be omniscient and omniscient, had unparalleled lethality for those who first met. Even if he was well-read, the old scholar who had been studying the scriptures in his old age would be ashamed of himself in front of him.
Of course, all this can only indicate that his knowledge and wisdom are unparalleled in the world, and have nothing to do with his character and personality.
Once you spend a long time with him, you can feel that he has a special temperament that is incompatible with this era. To put it nicely, it is called innovative, and to put it ugly, it is called being careless and acting against one's actions.
However, this did not affect Xu Haifeng's trust in him.
"General Tong, this is a military advisor whom you have recently invited by Xu. You have never seen him before, so you should be more intimate now." Xu Haifeng showed a cheerful smile, which was very different from the cold attitude of keeping people from thousands of miles away outside the city gate.
Tong Yifeng looked at him meaningfully and replied: "Xiaguan has already talked with Military Advisor Jiang. Military Advisor Jiang has a lot of things, so it is not as good as the subordinates. Apart from being convinced, there is no other idea."
Jiang Kongming smiled and said, "General Tong has been awarded too much. The students have read a few more books. It's okay to talk about war on paper. If you really have to take action, how can you compare with the veteran general? You are more experienced."
Xu Haifeng waved his hand to stop the mutual praise between them and said, "Everyone is our own people, so there is no need to say anything polite. General Tong, Xu has been away for nearly a year. Thanks to your careful care during this period, Xu thanks for his parents."
After saying that, bowed deeply.
Tong Yifeng quickly sideways and says he dare not accept this gift from him: "Will the general do this to get rid of his official position?"
Jiang Kongming laughed aside and said, "General Tong, you should bear this gift."
Then he turned to Xu Haifeng and said, "Lord, do you know that during the period when the Black Flag Army left, General Tong vigorously developed internal affairs. At this time, all the affairs in Wolong City were in order. The taxes in the city had reached 1.5 million taels of silver, which was 50% more than expected. Moreover, the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was not a complaint. This was the merit of General Tong."
Xu Haifeng was slightly moved. Although he had just learned that Tong Yifeng was a rare talent, his keen vision and political sense were unique.
However, after listening to Jiang Kongming's evaluation, I realized that he had underestimated him. It turned out that this person was still a good at internal affairs.
"General Tong, you really surprised me..." Xu Haifeng looked at him and sighed.
Tong Yifeng smiled and said, "If you want to say something unexpected, can anyone compare to you, General?"
Xu Haifeng laughed loudly and said nothing. After a long time, he looked at Jiang Kongming and saw that he smiled confidently. He immediately felt confident. He knew that eight out of ten people had been persuaded by Jiang Kongming and would definitely become a great help for him in the future.
"General, half a month ago, a team of Caesars passed through Lin'an... and passed by Wolong City, saying that they were asking to see you." Tong Yifeng said Fang Shi when Xu Haifeng smiled.
"Caesars? What are they here for?" Xu Haifeng asked in surprise.
Tong Yifeng shook his head and said, "They spoke strangely. The subordinates hired a few translators and finally understood. They came from an ancient family called Some. Because their heirs were captured by you, they had to redeem them. It was really incomprehensible. There was such a strange thing in the world."
Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming looked at each other, and at the same time thought of Atis, who was defeated and captured by the Huns.
