Chapter 44 The Feast

After saying goodbye to the old Taoist, Xu Haifeng unexpectedly met Fang Lingde in the Taoist temple. Seeing that he looked like he was waiting for him here, he couldn't help but feel grateful. This time, Fang Lingde's attitude became even more intimate. When he heard that Fang Lingtian, the head of the Fang family, was still going to hold a banquet in the mansion and invite all officials to cleanse him, he was even more flattered.

If Fang Lingtian specially invited all officials to wash him, he would like to inform everyone that the Fang family would fully support the Black Flag Army. From then on, the fate of the Fang family and the Black Flag Army would be firmly tied together. Fang Lingtian was willing to make such a heavy bet, obviously because he saw that the old Taoist attached great importance to Xu Haifeng. He did not expect that this old Taoist would be so heavy in Fang Lingtian's heart. Xu Haifeng was even more curious about the identity of the old Taoist.

When he returned to the inn, Xu Haifeng's first thing was to attract Jiang Kongming and tell him the whole story of what happened in the past day. Jiang Kongming was envious when he heard that Xu Haifeng could have achieved a kind of magical skill and said that he would learn anything. However, after teaching Xu Haifeng for a long time, he did not see any results. In desperation, he had to give up. He asked several questions, including the appearance of the old Taoist, Fang Lingtian's attitude and title, etc., and finally said: "Congratulations to the lord."

Xu Haifeng asked strangely: "What are you congratulating?"

Jiang Kongming smiled and said, "Do you know the name of that immortal?"

"If I know, would you still ask you if I want to?" Xu Haifeng glared at him. It seemed that Jiang Kongming knew it well, but he just refused to say it out loud and quick. Although this temper was not as good as Xu Haifeng's appetite, it could not be changed.

Jiang Kongming stretched out three fingers, shook them, and said, "Did the lord forget the three great masters of my great man?"

"Three Grand Masters?" Xu Haifeng was shocked. These three people were famous all over the world. How could he not know? After thinking about it, he suddenly understood what he meant. He was surprised for a moment and asked in a trembling voice: "You mean that this old Taoist priest is Taiyi Zhenren, the leader of the three Grand Masters."

"Apart from Taiyi Zhenren, who else can make Fang Lingtian respect the younger generation? The lord has a deep blessing, and it is a happy congratulation." Jiang Kongming congratulated him.

The three great masters in the world are Taiyi Zhenren, the founder of Taoism, Cheng Xuanfeng, the elder of the Cheng family who is in charge of the southern lineage among the four major families, and Li Yanbo, the leader of the Demon Cult. Among them, Taiyi Zhenren became famous the earliest, the oldest, and was 110 years old. He was ranked as the master forty years ago, and was known as the number one master of the Han Dynasty. For decades, no one dared to challenge it. At the same time, Taiyi Zhenren was born in a powerful family, with disciples all over the Han Dynasty, and were all super-powerful people who could call the wind and rain in the court.

"The lord doesn't have to hide his weaknesses when he is here at the banquet. He can bring Lin Changkong, Qin Yong, Zhebe and Miss Lin to go there."

"Didn't the military advisor ask me to speak less and listen more and be a human being with his tail between his legs? Why did I suddenly make me so popular again?"

"The lord first entered the capital, and had no support in it, so he could only be careful and seek safety. But now Fang Lingtian supports the lord with all his strength and even pushes the lord to the front. Such a great opportunity, of course, he must do his best and be sure to surprise Naruto." Jiang Kongming explained.

Xu Haifeng suddenly asked, "Since that's the case, why don't you take the Andrew brothers there? Their kung fu is better than Lin Changkong. In addition, does Lin Wanxian have to go?"

Jiang Kongming slowly shook the feather fan in his hand and looked confident: "Everything is always a must. Qin Yong and others have long been famous all over the world when summoned by the emperor. They are well-known and cannot be avoided. However, no one knows the Andrew brothers are just left as a surprise weapon. As for Miss Lin, only by relying on Miss Lin's peerless appearance can everyone remember their lords. This is called the star effect. Do you understand?"

Xu Haifeng nodded in a vague way, and Jiang Kongming sighed: "If you have time in the future, I will discuss with my lord about how to package celebrities. At that time, you may be able to understand the students' meaning. In addition, from today, the lord needs to practice a skill."

Xu Haifeng asked in surprise: "Skills? Have you taught me?"

Apart from being far stronger than ordinary people, Jiang Kongming did not know any martial arts, so what could he teach him?

"That is, what students teach the lord is the world's greatest skill, called acting skills." Jiang Kongming said confidently.

Three days later, Xu Haifeng led Lin Changkong, Qin Yong, Zhebei, Jiang Kongming and Lin Wanxian to go upstairs to the banquet.

This banquet was specially designed for Xu Haifeng to cleanse the dust, so he can be considered half of the master. The invitation sent by the Fang family specifically stated that Xu Haifeng and the eldest son and grandson of the Fang family were the friends of the eighth betrothal. According to the rules, they came to Fang Mansion early, and Fang Lingde was greeted.

Those who first met Lin Wanxian would feel a strong shock. Even Fang Lingde was fascinated by the infinite charm of her every move. Fortunately, this old man had seen countless beauties after all, and was not a young boy. He quickly woke up and chatted and laughed with Xu Haifeng and others, but he looked at Lin Wanxian with more eyes.

Soon after, guests arrived one after another. Fang Lingde led his two sons and nephews to welcome the guests outside, while Xu Haifeng was waiting in the inner hall.

The inner hall of the Fang family is so big that it can accommodate hundreds of people to eat at the same time. At this moment, a total of 100 seats were opened. There was a wide passage in the middle, and all tables and chairs were neatly arranged along the two sides of the passage. Each seat was a rectangular table, and up to four people could sit. Xu Haifeng's seat was in the third room on the right, with two seats in front and behind. Under the arrangement of Jiang Kongming, Lin Wanxian and Qin Yong sat in the first seat with Xu Haifeng, while he and Zhebei and Lin Changkong sat in the back seat.

The time when guests arrive is proportional to their status, and the more prominent the people arrive, the later they arrive. Although there are many people in the lobby, most of them are people with lower official positions, among which military generals occupy an absolute majority. It is truly a military family that started with martial arts.

After a while, the number of people gradually increased, and there were also many female guests. However, everyone's eyes were not free to float to a place. Lin Wanxian sat upright in the seat and did not see any special behavior, but naturally became the focus of the audience.

Xu Haifeng, who was sitting next to Lin Wanxian, also became the object of attention. However, Xu Haifeng was no longer the new recruit who had been the first. He had experienced a second life-and-death battle, met the emperor, and lived in the palace (although not from the Han Dynasty). Xu Haifeng was already quite as handsome as a general. The most important thing was that he had worked hard to practice the special kung fu taught by Jiang Kongming in the past few days - acting skills, so at this time he calmly chatted with Lin Wanxian and Qin Yong, and turned a blind eye to the discussions of the people.

At this time, a commotion broke out from outside the door, and many people got up one after another. At a glance, some big figure came. Sure enough, a burst of generous laughter came, and then a familiar figure appeared at the door. It was Marshal Gu Daoyan, the president of the Western Front Camp. Behind him, Fang Lingde personally accompanied him into the hall.

The ancient Taoist beard has a noble status and is one of the best among the guests. He smiled and bowed to the person who bowed to him one by one. He could definitely be called a humble gentleman just by looking at this performance. Facing the former commander, Xu Haifeng didn't know what it felt like. It was this marshal who promoted him to become the commander of the Black Flag Army, giving him the opportunity to stand out, but it was this marshal who made a statement on the emperor and blocked his promotion path. However, at this moment, he did not dare to be negligent, so he stood up and led his subordinates to meet him.

Gu Daoyan narrowed his eyes suddenly. He saw Qin Yong, who stood out in the crowd at a glance, and then saw Lin Wanxian. Facing such an outstanding woman, even he was lost in his mind. It was not until Xu Haifeng bowed and greeted him that he came to his senses.

"General Xu has just arrived at the capital, have he been used to it?" Although Xu Haifeng was just a small general, the ancient Taoist beard did not dare to look at him easily. Since the Fang family clearly wanted to promote Xu Haifeng, it was only a matter of time before he was promoted, and his success was just around the corner.

"I will be safe, thank you for your concern." Xu Haifeng replied respectfully.

The two of them had just said a few words in the scene, and there was another riot outside the door. They looked out at the same time, and their eyes were focused on one of the women.

What a peerless beauty this is? I saw her smile gracefully, and her flawless face with a pair of trembling eyes flashing with fatal temptation. The young men and women around her are all heroes for a while. If they appear in ordinary occasions, they will definitely be the focus of the whole audience. However, at this moment, they are surrounded by her peerless beauty, and they are no longer eye-catching. Only Lin Wanxian can compare such a peerless beauty with such a beautiful person.

"Yinghao, Yingjie, come here, I will introduce you to a young hero." Gu Daoren suddenly reached out and greeted.

Two of the people with similar appearances responded and walked over. In fact, Xu Haifeng and his group were also excellent. As soon as they walked in, they saw Lin Wanxian. If they hadn't been concerned about the woman beside them, they would have come to inquire.

"General Xu, these two are my nephews, Cheng Yinghao and Cheng Yingjie. This is General Xu Haitian, the commander of the Black Flag Army who defeated Lin'an and shocked Caesar. You are of the same age and will be close to each other in the future."

When Xu Haifeng heard this, he turned out to be Cheng Yinghao, the deputy commander of the Canglang Legion recommended by Prime Minister Min. He looked carefully and found that Cheng Yinghao was not very old, but he was just like Jing Ming, but he was already the deputy commander of the Canglang Legion. Although he was backed by the family, he must be very outstanding, otherwise he would not have reached such a high position at this age. As for his younger brother Cheng Yingjie, he was a white-faced scholar with a pink face. He saw him staring at Lin Wanxian without any scruples, with naked eyes showing his eyes, and he ignored Xu Haifeng in front of him and looked down on him.

Xu Haifeng was extremely dissatisfied, but he remained silent. He suddenly found that Lin Wanxian's body was trembling slightly. When she turned her head, she saw a hint of sadness and shame that could not be concealed in her forced calm eyes. Others only said that she was angry with Cheng Yingjie's rudeness, but Xu Haifeng knew that things were definitely not that simple. With Miss Lin's demeanor, how could she be scared by a perverted boy? Could she have seen such a prodigal son?

Cheng Yinghao discovered his brother's unbearable performance, quickly took a step forward, blocked his sight, and bowed: "General Xu's name has been heard for a long time, and he didn't meet until today. I just regretted that the general was in charge of the last Lin'an Battle and failed to fight side by side with the general. It's a pity in his life."

"I dare not be a big man. He is a real military talent. He will be promoted to the deputy commander of the Canglang Legion at such an age. He is worthy of being the first of my young generation of the Han Dynasty." Xu Haifeng also praised with a smile on his face.

"You don't have to praise you anymore. They are all pillars of my great man's future. It's better to join the table earlier."

Everyone looked up and found that it was the Minister of War of the current dynasty, Fang Lingtian, the head of the Fang family.
