Chapter 197 Return to the city
In Wolong City, the city gates are still wide open, but no matter how far the city is under the city, the number of officers and soldiers guarding each other has increased tenfold. In the past, there are many business travelers, and the thriving scene no longer exists. Instead, it is a solemn and depressing, which really has a bit of a war.
A team of fast horses galloped from the south, and the lookouts above the city could see clearly and immediately sounded the horn of martial law.
There was a turmoil under the city, but fortunately there were not many people coming and the gate had not been closed. Only more than a hundred people left the city and were ready for battle.
After more than a year of training, the soldiers in Wolong City are no longer as good as before. Their training intensity is no less than the five thousand iron cavalry under the command of Xiang Ming. The only thing they lack is that they have never been on the battlefield and have not experienced the test of blood and fire.
But if it is used to scare people and be used as a storefront, it is perfect.
In the city, more than 200 cavalrymen from the red ocean picked up their weapons. Once there was a conflict outside the city, their real main forces would immediately quell the riot with thunder.
More than thirty fast horses were extremely fast, and they were already approaching after a moment. A hundred people outside the city looked through the telescope. Although they were all masked and could not see clearly, the horse under the crotch of the leader was no longer familiar with.
His face changed and he reacted very quickly. He put down his telescope and scolded loudly. Suddenly, the hundred soldiers raised their spears in their hands at the same time, with the tip of the spears facing the sky. This was the highest etiquette the spearmen performed in the face of their superiors.
The visitor ran to them, lifted the veil, revealing a vibrant face. Although it was not handsome, it seemed to have extremely charming. With a glance, it was domineering, making people involuntarily admire him and dare not fight with him.
He is Xu Haifeng, one of the two lords of Wolong City.
Every master has his own unique temperament, which is related to everyone's opportunities and mind, and is by no means the same.
Taiyi Zhenren, known as the world's number one, is peaceful and peaceful, so he can completely hide his status as a master for decades without being known.
Cheng Xuanfeng, the number one man in the south, understood the spiritual power in anger, so he became stronger as he grew old and his murderous aura remained the same.
In addition to his own opportunities, the snake blood in his body is crucial. His state of mind is particularly special compared to other masters of his level. Logically speaking, when his martial arts cultivation reaches their level, he can see through the cause and effect. Although he cannot let go of everything, he should no longer have worldly ambitions.
Among all the masters, only Xu Haifeng still competes for dominance in the world and competes for the selfish desires of the Central Plains. If it were someone else, his martial arts cultivation would decline significantly, and he would even fall out of the master's realm. However, Xu Haifeng not only had no disadvantages, but he would become more domineering.
"Greetings to the city lord." More than a hundred people shouted loudly at the same time.
Xu Haifeng nodded slightly, suddenly feeling something strange behind him. He seemed to look back inadvertently, and Xiang Ming looked at him with a strange look. There were too many things in his eyes, which seemed envious and jealous, respect and depression, and the contradiction made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Haifeng showed his cheerful side to him without caring about it. He knew Xiang Ming's mentality very well, but he couldn't help it.
When they first met, Xu Haifeng was just a little newbie who was hiding at the nose. Now, after just a few years of hard work, he has vaguely surpassed him. This journey is like a dream and makes people still dream.
Xiang Ming is the first among the young generation of the four major families. But because of his outstandingness, he is proud and confident.
Seeing a person who was far inferior to himself rise like a comet, and finally surpassed himself, throwing himself behind him, and having a gradual trend of growing bigger, how could he continue to remain calm and indifferent? In the final analysis, he was just a mortal.
This is a knot in the heart. If it cannot be untied smoothly, then one day, this pair of brothers who can share life and death will become enemies who are irreconcilable.
Xu Haifeng knew very well, but he could only wait and see what happened. Because he knew that no one could open this knot except himself. The only thing he could do was to maintain this rare friendship.
Since he asked Monkey Child to pass the letter to Jiang Kongming, he has no longer been the Xu Haifeng he used to be. From that day on, he has been a grand master who is open and honest and loyal.
As for everything else, he had already said it very clearly, and everything was entrusted to Jiang Kongming, the military advisor who was loyal to him, had no possibility of rebellion and had the ability to guide the country.
"Brother, let's go to the city." Xu Haifeng asked with a smile.
He said casually, but naturally he was filled with unquestionable majesty and sincere openness.
Xiang Ming was slightly stunned, and woke up from his dream, nodding subconsciously without saying a word.
A group of people rushed into the city like flying.
Xiang Ming did not notice that his expression fell into the eyes of Ge Haojian and Lu Yangming. The two of them immediately separated. However, the light flashed in Ge Haojian's eyes, as if they were broken, but Lu Yangming remained silent, as if they had not realized it.
After entering the inner city, Jiang Kongming had already received the news and was waiting in the Council Hall for a long time.
Xu Haifeng had sharp eyes and saw a pretty figure at a glance. Seeing their arrival, he came forward one line faster than Jiang Kongming.
Xu Haifeng reached out and hugged the fiery and fragrant body into his arms.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Ming was walking side by side with him, so he could see clearly that the person was Fang Yingying, his favorite girl. But she changed her past joy. At this time, her eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was completely different from usual.
Fang Yingying raised her head and gritted her teeth, as if she was patient. After a moment, she finally asked: "Brother, Daddy...Dad he..."
Although she didn't continue, the meaning was well known to everyone.
The circle of Xiang Ming's eyes turned red, and he turned his head away and did not look at her.
Fang Yingying's face was even more pale. Her eyes moved from her brother to her husband's face. Xu Haifeng's expression was dim, but she sighed and nodded silently.
The last bit of luck hidden in my heart was shattered. Fang Yingying could no longer bear it, buried her head in Xu Haifeng's chest, and cried silently.
Xu Haifeng caressed her hair lovingly, but his eyes looked at Jiang Kongming ahead.
Jiang Kongming bowed slightly to the two of them and said, "The Caesars have been lingering a hundred miles away for more than ten days. The students cannot understand what their intentions are. They dare not interfere with their affairs and act rashly, so they have to wait for the two to come back to make decisions."
Fang and Xu were both stunned. When will the Grand Military Advisor Jiang become so polite?
At this time, Zhiyuezhong came out. Without looking at Jiang Kongming, he walked directly to Xu and Fang and said, "Brother, brother-in-law, you are back."
The two of them were even more surprised. There was a sense of indignation and melancholy in their tone. After seeing them, the feeling of relief would definitely not be faked. Could it be that there was someone in Wolong City that dared to be angry with him?
Their eyes were floating quickly over Fang Yingying's body.
"Second brother, everything is fine at home." Xiang Ming replied casually.
"Hmph, everything is fine. What else is wrong with the wise leadership of Jiang Da Military Advisor?" said Xiang Zhileng sarcastically.
Xiang Ming's heart moved and looked at Xu Haifeng, which happened to touch his eyes. Only then did the two realize that the person who offended him was not Fang Yingying, but Jiang Kongming.
Their eyes floated along the faces of everyone, and they obviously found the solemnity and discomfort of the atmosphere. They were extremely surprised. Who is Jiang Kongming? How could his talent and knowledge have become such a situation? No wonder he said those words as soon as he met.
Xu Haifeng was about to speak, but suddenly he felt the collar of his chest tighten. Fang Yingying was pulling it secretly. He immediately closed his lips and said nothing.
Xiang Zhi turned around and said to Jiang Kongming: "Mr. Jiang, my ancestors told me that once the eldest brother and brother-in-law come back, they will meet them immediately. What do you think?"
Jiang Kongming turned a blind eye to his provocation and said with a smile: "Old Mrs. Fang naturally has to follow the words. There is nothing important now. I'll ask the lord and General Fang to see her and come to discuss it again."
When Xiang Zhi raised his eyebrows, he seemed to feel a sense of pride and cheerfulness. His voice immediately became cheerful: "Brother, brother-in-law, let's go."
The two of them nodded to Jiang Kongming at the same time. Xu Haifeng took this opportunity to introduce Ge Haojian and Lu Yangming to Jiang Kongming and left with Shi Zhi. Xu Haifeng vaguely noticed the smile in Jiang Kongming's eyes, and immediately understood that he must have a deep meaning, but he could not guess it through.
Staying away from the Council Hall, Xiang Zhi saw that there were no outsiders everywhere, and complained to Xu Haifeng: "Brother-in-law, you dog... the dog-headed military advisor is really a domineering person."
Xu Haifeng was extremely surprised and asked, "Military Jiang has always been polite to others, so how could he suddenly become like this?"
Xiang Zhi shrugged and said, "Since you brother-in-law, you wrote to him and asked him to exercise your power on your behalf, he seemed to have become a different person. There was no longer the politeness he used to be in his words, which often embarrasses him. Perhaps this is his nature."
Xu Haifeng turned his head and saw that Xiang Ming was slowly shaking his head, his face full of suspicion and disbelief.
Xiang Zhi was about to explain, but Fang Yingying said angrily: "It's time? Brother Zhi, you still have to get entangled in this issue. Haven't I promised you that Military Advisor Jiang is definitely not a bad person."
Kawai Zhi had a bitter face and said no to him. Just looking at his expression, he knew that he would not believe Nai Mei's words from the bottom of his heart.
