Chapter 299 Captives (1)
Chapter 299: Captives (I)
"General Xu..." A tall and tall figure appeared in front of them and shouted loudly.
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly, but he didn't see him speed up, but in just three or two steps, he pulled Jiang Kongming away and came to Liu Junshu.
"General Xu, General Xu has sent Zhang Jie to your mansion, and you can see him as soon as you go back." Liu Junshu said tepidly.
"Thank you so much for Brother Liu." Xu Haifeng has always maintained a polite attitude towards this great Han general who has not yet completely accepted him.
"General Xu is polite, I will say goodbye." Looking at Jiang Kongming who was heading here, Liu Junshu bowed and left with great strides.
Jiang Kongming sighed lightly and said, "Although Liu Junshu has not been able to calm down yet, this attitude is just right. Let Su Chunwei and the others be suspicious."
Xu Haifeng laughed in silence.
Indeed, Liu Junshu suddenly changed his attitude of never cooperating with him. Not only did he take up the position of commander of the city guards, but he also did his best in all matters, which was even more harder than when he was in the Yellow Dragon Army.
Such a 180-degree transformation made all those with ulterior motives stunned.
They all guessed what kind of medicine Xu Haifeng had given Liu Junshu or what special means he used to make this brave man who had been in danger of death surrender to him.
However, if they let their heads be broken, they would never have thought that Liu Junshu stayed because of the little princess Liu Ting.
"This person is confident in his words. He will never betray the little princess. Hehe... I'm afraid that even Liu Zhengqi is far inferior to the little princess in his heart at this time. Female, alas..."
Jiang Kongming shook his head and said, suddenly he realized that Xu Haifeng's face was different. He immediately knew that he was quick and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He laughed unconsciously a few times and quickly changed the topic: "Lord, what's Liu Junshu looking for you?"
Xu Haifeng looked at him helplessly. Jiang Kongming's identity was unique after all, so he naturally could not blame him for the sake of trivial matters.
Moreover, in his heart, he also deeply understood that if Liu Ting's Xuantian Cai Nu's merit could not have reached the state of insult, it would not have been possible for Liu Junshu to change his mind immediately after one side.
Moreover, both him and Jiang Kongming knew that every half month, Liu Ting would have to summon Liu Junshu to another meeting. In name, he was meeting the invading people of the same clan, but in fact, he was probably using this to win over it.
Although I don’t want to admit it, the facts prove that this emotional investment is far more effective for Liu Junshu than those gold, silver and jewelry.
A thought suddenly flashed in Xu Haifeng's heart. Although Liu Ting did this after her own instructions, she was afraid that she also had similar thoughts in her heart.
After all, among his wives, Liu Ting is the only weak woman who has no support. This beautiful girl born in the imperial family is also making some plans for her future and future without realizing it.
"Master..." Jiang Kongming returned after not seeing Xu Haifeng for a long time, and shouted in surprise.
Xu Haifeng woke up from his thoughts. He could only understand this issue, but he could not discuss it with others, even if he was Jiang Kongming, it would not work.
With a smile, Xu Haifeng said: "This night attack, Liu Junshu caught a Han man in Caesar's camp. He issued a ban on the insiders and secretly sent the man to my mansion."
"Han people?" Jiang Kongming was surprised. It was the first time he had heard of this news. Xu and Liu did a very good job in keeping confidentiality.
"Yes, it's a Han man who fled Caesar for negligence twenty years ago." Xu Haifeng explained.
Then, he immediately saw Jiang Kongming with his eyes glowing. Obviously, his interest in this person was far more than anything else.
Amid the series of urging from Mr. Jiang, Xu Haifeng returned to the palace.
He moved into the original Tufan Palace so openly without any actions or measures to avoid suspicion. According to Jiang Kongming's words, he was just a disobedient and obvious.
The palace was full of guards, and there were many masters in the city guards, and most of them were drawn here. Moreover, there were also Xia Yajun, the master of the grandson and some personnel from the Demon Sect acting as guards in the palace. Although it cannot be said to be as solid as a god, it is more than enough to protect yourself.
In the imperial study room, Xu Haifeng asked with a pleasant face: "Is Zhang Jie?"
Zhang Jie responded respectfully. He served in the Fourth Legion of Bancroft for more than ten years. As the legion fought east and west, he was well-informed. He knew that the combat power of the Fourth Legion was definitely second to none on this continent.
However, that night, the Fourth Legion suddenly encountered the biggest defeat since its establishment, and, more importantly, the defeat was inexplicably unscrupulous and without any warning.
It was only after he heard the city guards discussing it after the war.
The cavalry that went to attack the camp was almost wiped out, and the infantry team suffered an almost devastating blow, not to mention the camp, which had long fallen into the enemy.
It would be fine if the enemy relied on their strong superior forces, but the number of people they used was obviously not as good as the Fourth Legion.
Moreover, Bancroft's every move seemed to be within the other party's expectations. Every step of the Black Flag Army seemed like a trap arranged in advance, waiting for Bancroft to step on it.
Such a skill of magic tricks really convinced him.
Zhang Jie's eyes secretly glanced at Xu Haifeng, and Jiang Kongming was shaking his feather fan one after another.
Is this the man? He played the famous Bancroft in his palm.
"Tell me what you have experienced." His actions could not be hidden from the two superiors in front of him. Xu Haifeng said with a funny look.
"Yes..." Zhang Jie respectfully bowed to them again, saying that in his heart, they were in an equal position: "The villain...the villain is named Zhang Jie, ten...eighteen years ago, because of a moment...the life is back, and he was wanted. The villain saw that he was not lucky, so he had to go away from home."
When he started speaking, he was still a little slow, but later he gradually became fluent.
Xu Haifeng turned his head to look at each other, and Jiang Kongming nodded slightly. This person clearly had not spoken Chinese for many years, which made him extremely unfamiliar.
"What did you do?"
According to Xu Haifeng's original intention, as long as he can provide Caesar's domestic information in detail, no matter who he offended or what mistakes he made, even if he is the King of Heaven, he will write it off.
Jiang Kongming also deeply agreed with this point. During the war, all actions must serve the war. No national law or law can match the order of the generals on the front line.
This is called the order of the king outside the country, which has been the case since ancient times.
Since they have decided to do this, the first thing they have to do is not to ask the answers they want to know, but to be content with their heart.
Zhang Jie hesitated for a moment. He had been piaoping for many years and had a wide range of knowledge. Naturally, he knew what the two of them were trying to do. He thought they would ask about the matter as soon as they came up, but he was prepared to use this to win their favor and eventually hiding under their wings.
But unexpectedly, the first thing they asked about was their own private affairs. At this time, it was a matter of life for themselves, but in the eyes of these two, it was probably a trivial matter like sesame and green bean. Even their own life was probably as cheap as grass in the eyes of the two generals, the commander of the army, and was not worth mentioning.
If they did this, if they were either really trying to excuse themselves, or they had the intention of perfunctory work, he had seen a lot of things about undone and killing donkeys after the fall.
Seeing that he never spoke, Jiang Kongming suddenly snorted softly and said, "Since you have come here, you don't need to worry about that much. Since my lord asked you, someone will take responsibility for it. Besides... remember, this is your only way to live."
Zhang Jie's heart trembled, and he immediately understood this truth. Xu Haifeng was already his only support, and his life and death were only in his thoughts.
"The villain dares not hide it. Eighteen years ago, the villain started his business, accumulated for many years, and his family is quite rich. It was just one time when he went out to get goods, he accidentally discovered something and did not want to cause a huge disaster."
"What's up?"
Zhang Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Smuggling... Army smuggling. The King Lu family of Northwest used the name of the army to smuggle it. It was because of the little luck that he accidentally broke the matter. From then on, the Lu family issued a pursuit order, and the little one had no choice but to escape to Caesar."
"Lu Dingsheng?"
"That's right." Zhang Jie lowered his head and did not dare to look up. Although he wanted to know the expressions on these two people's faces in his heart, he just had no courage to look up at even a glance.
His ancestors lived in the northwest for many years, so he naturally knew that the Lu family's power in the northwest was enough to make a fuss and turn a fuss. It would not be incredible if these two people could not afford to offend them.
Xu Haifeng shook his head slightly. Lu Dingsheng's actions were no longer new. It was a very common bad habit for powerful families to smuggle in the name of the army. The court also knew it well. Although it was repeatedly issued laws and prohibited, it was rare to achieve results.
"Come here..." After a moment of contemplation, Xu Haifeng shouted loudly.
A servant rushed over immediately, and Xu Haifeng ordered: "Go and invite the deputy commander of Tongzhou."
Then he followed the waiter and turned around and left.
Zhang Jie's heart tightened and he immediately showed joy. When he left the Han Dynasty, it was when Lu Tongzhou was making his mark in the northwest, so he naturally heard of his name. In the past few days when he returned to the Han Dynasty, he even knew that he had become the actual head of the Lu family during the chat of the city guards.
At this time, listening to Xu Haifeng's tone, it seemed that he was just treating Lu Tongzhou as a subordinate, so his life would probably be saved.
"Who else in your family?"
"Sir, there is no more. The villain was not married back then, so he was able to escape alone."
Xu Haifeng nodded, looked at Jiang Kongming, and waited patiently.
Zhang Jie even held his breath, and he didn't even dare to breathe his breath.
Fortunately, this dull time was not long. After Lu Tongzhou received the news, he immediately let go of everything and rushed over.
Both Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming showed great enthusiasm for this new generation leader of the Lu family.
After a bustling bustle, Lu Tongzhou said straight to the point: "General Xu, it's the first time that Mo Yun has been here for so long. "
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lu, this is a private residence, not a military camp. Let's call each other brothers. This is indeed a mistake for me. We can get closer to each other in the future."
Lu Tongzhou didn't expect that he would be so intimate. He was stunned at first, and then immediately smiled and said, "Since Brother Xu said that, Tongzhou is more respectful than obedient."
After Lu Dingsheng's conversation this morning, Xu Haifeng had already grasped the meaning of the Lu family.
They knew that in this chaotic world, the strength of the family was not enough to fight for the world. For the benefit of the entire family, they must rely on the forces that can control the world in the future.
In Lu Dingsheng's eyes, the Cheng family was the most promising Han people, followed by the Black Flag Army with Wolong City as its base.
In other words, at least before the end of the Taiyuan War, the Xu and Lu families will definitely be able to maintain a harmonious and friendly relationship.
They greeted each other for a moment, and because of the deliberate intentions of both parties, their words naturally felt a sense of intimacy.
When Xu Haifeng saw Zhang Jie's face appearing on his side, he immediately got back to the point: "Brother Lu, this is a subordinate of my younger brother. He had offended the mansion before. He called him here today and made a special trip to apologize."
He turned his head and said, "Zhang Jie, why don't you kowtow to the head of the Lu family?"
Zhang Jie responded and quickly stepped forward and kowtowed a few times.
Lu Tongzhou was confused by their actions, but he was also a clear-minded person, otherwise it would not be his turn to inherit Lu Dingsheng's position.
As soon as he saw Xu Haifeng doing this, he understood the meaning. Xu Haifeng did this clearly exonerates this person.
He quickly recalled it in his mind, but he couldn't remember the character Zhang Jie at all. He glanced at his face quickly, without any impression.
The nameless man, this is the only conclusion he has come to.
Such an insignificant person has the ability to find Xu Haifeng as a backer, so there is only one choice left for him.
Lu Tongzhou suddenly had a scheming in his heart and smiled and said, "Since it's Brother Xu, there is no need to mention this little thing."
As his identity, he personally promised in front of everyone, so he would naturally have a word and no reason to repent.
