Chapter 52 Invitations

On the banks of a beautiful river twenty-five miles away from the western suburbs of the capital, several green smoke slowly rose up. It turned out that it was already lunch time. A military camp was stationed here. A large flag with a black background and a red edge stood in the middle of the camp, which was the newly rising black flag army of the Han Empire.

The sound of weapons intersecting each other came from the camp, and Xu Haifeng was waving a sword of Alchemy and Lin Changkong to feed Lin Changkong.

Next to them was Cheng Jiahui and Cheng Yingming fighting each other in life and death. The two seemed to have a deep hatred and were merciless when they took action. The moves were fatal. Cheng Jiahui was successful because of his rich experience and his old moves, but Cheng Yingming was young and strong, dared to fight and fought, and his internal strength was even better than his uncle. For a moment, the two fought equally, and it was difficult to distinguish.

It has been ten days since Xu Haifeng returned to the camp today. During these days, Xu Haifeng was proud of the spring breeze. Since he confirmed his relationship with Lin Wanxian, Xu Haifeng no longer has to sleep alone. He hugged this peerless beauty to fall asleep every night, and he was entangled with endless love.

After identifying the backer of the Fang family, he realized that the boss behind Zuiyue Tower was actually the Tang family, one of the four major families. In order to show goodwill, the Tang family not only increased the second jar of Zuiyue wine supplied every day, but also gave it for free. For Xu Haifeng's physique, there was no better supplement than Zuiyue wine. He refused everyone and drank a drop of water every day, but he still felt unsatisfied.

Lin Wanxian was worried that he would be bad for his health when drinking too much, but he didn't expect that the more Xu Haifeng drank, the more he became. He asked her to climb the upper reaches several times every night, and the essence in Xu Haifeng's body also flowed into Lin Wanxian's body. So no matter how tired Lin Wanxian was the night before, she could recover as before the next morning.

As love nourishes, Lin Wanxian becomes more and more beautiful. If it weren't for the blood-wine warriors here, they would have caused chaos in the morale of the army. The only exception is Jiang Kongming. After seeing Lin Wanxian's changes, he sighed: "The ancients said that beauty is a disaster, and it is true that she will not deceive me."

In addition, Xu Haifeng's Jingxin Art has also made rapid progress with a large amount of energy supplements. He had successfully advanced to the sixth level the day before yesterday. At this point, Xu Haifeng is already at the level of a second-grade master. When his skills reach this point, all kinds of wonderful uses are revealed one by one. Xu Haifeng's facial features and six consciousnesses have become more sensitive, and a stream of true energy in his body flows continuously, and his body is as light as a swallow. His mastery of the use of moves has become much easier.

Xu Haifeng then understood why those martial arts masters who have reached a certain level will tirelessly pursue higher realms. It turns out that higher kung fu will bring people higher enjoyment. Just like power, martial arts will also make people involuntarily addicted.

The internal strength has been improved and the moves cannot be pulled down. In the past few days, Lin Changkong and others have become his training targets. Although Xu Haifeng still feels that he has tied his hands and feet, he is no longer powerless to fight back. Of course, if the two really want to fight each other, then adding Xu Haifeng is not Lin Changkong's opponent.

As for Cheng Yingming, his situation is similar to Xu Haifeng, and his internal strength reaches the level of a first-class master, but his martial arts cultivation cannot keep up. However, his situation is much simpler. Any move can only be able to have the greatest understanding only when used at the critical moment of life and death.

With the special blood wine made by Xu Haifeng, Cheng Yingming and the top masters in the Black Flag Army were one by one. Although they were fatally injured every time, as long as there was still a breath left on the spot, they could always recover after an hour. In this way, ten days later, Cheng Yingming and his uncle were no longer inferior and truly joined the ranks of top masters in the world.

However, Cheng Yingming was very different from his original appearance at this moment. After the torture of the hand with a broken bone, he took blood wine. Although he saved his life, his physique changed greatly. Not only did he lose weight, he also grew several inches taller out of thin air, and his face became ugly. Jiang Kongming even ordered him to shave his head. In this way, even if his biological parents stood in front of him, it would be difficult to recognize that this person was their son.

Since his appearance has changed, Jiang Kongming asked him to change his name to Xu Haiming. As Xu Haifeng's personal bodyguard, he said to the outside world that he was a brother of the Xu family. Although everyone knows that this statement can't be hidden from anyone who is interested.

As for Cheng Jiahui, his size and skills, and even his martial arts have been established. Moreover, he has been famous for many years and has recognized him too many people, so he must not show up openly and can only hide in the dark for use as a surprise weapon.

"Coax..." At this time, a loud noise came from the riverside. After a moment, a burst of hearty laughter spread throughout the camp. There were few people who could be so presumptuous in the Black Flag Army. In addition to Xu Haifeng, the main general, only Jiang Kongming, was like this.

"What's going on? Go and have a look." After being disturbed, Xu Haifeng no longer had the interest to continue practicing martial arts and brought everyone to the riverside.

Dozens of blast furnaces stood on the riverside, hundreds of soldiers were busy coming and going, while Jiang Kongming sat in a wheelchair, waving his feather fan with serene satisfaction, and making intermittent and nervous laughs from time to time, which was creepy.

Jiang Kongming glanced and saw Xu Haifeng and others. He immediately stood up and walked to Xu Haifeng to greet him.

"What the hell are you doing?" Xu Haifeng asked dissatisfiedly.

Jiang Kongming smiled and said, "The students are making steel by using the method of localization. It has not been completed until today. They are excited and have difficulty in themselves. They have lost their composure. Please forgive me."

Xu Haifeng looked at the ugly blast furnaces by the river and asked in confusion: "What do you think you want to refine? What's the use of that thing?"

"Students need to make steel, and the steel they train can be made into weapons and protective gear."

"Making weapons? Is this thing possible?" Xu Haifeng asked, pointing to the blast furnaces.

Jiang Kongming laughed and said, "Reporting to the lord, although these are all inferior steel, compared to current weapons and protective gear, they are extremely rare first-class raw materials."

Xu Haifeng nodded half-believingly. If Jiang Kongming hadn't had every strange action been effective, he wouldn't have believed it: "Okay, just practice slowly. Remember to practice it and give me a try."

"Students obey the order." Jiang Kongming responded.

In the past ten days, there was a panic in the capital. Chen Youkun led his people to turn over the entire capital's land, but he still found nothing.

At this point, everyone knew that Cheng Yingjie and others were in danger. Min Zhitang and others had no choice but to continue to put pressure on the Ministry of Justice.

Because of this, the large banquets and small gatherings in the capital have been reduced a lot. All the powerful officials and nobles are on guard and guarding in groups when they go out. The most unlucky ones are those Caesar merchants. I don’t know how many of them are imprisoned and even their families are destroyed.

The rascals in the capital were even swept away. Although the gangsters who could gain a foothold in the capital had some connection with the officials, this matter was extraordinary. No one dared to rush to provoke Cheng Yinghao, who was already red-eyed. Therefore, the security achievements in the capital reached the highest peak in ten years.

After so many days of nervousness, I finally began to relax. After all, this is the capital of the Han Dynasty and the political center of the empire. There are tens of thousands of people coming and going every day, so how could it be that they always maintain this high alert state? Various banquets in the capital began to unfold one after another, and Xu Haifeng's free life will come to an end.

Looking at the two invitations in his hand, Xu Haifeng really didn't want to pay attention to them, but these few big red posts were like a heavy burden of gold and could not tolerate him saying the word "no". Because the owners of these two invitations were the great prince of the dynasty, King Hui Liu Zhengting and the fifth prince of King Wu Liu Zhengqi.

What really bothered Xu Haifeng was not these two invitations, but the arrival of Fang Lingde and what he said. According to Fang Lingde, His Majesty now has seven princes, but only two are qualified to inherit the throne. One is the eldest prince Hui, Liu Zhengting, and the other is the fifth prince Wu, Liu Zhengqi. The two of them have been fighting for the right to inherit the throne. If His Majesty had not been there, they would have to tear their faces apart and fight against each other.

At this point, Xu Haifeng understood the meaning of what he said when he broke up with Xiang Ming in Lin'an City. When he arrived at the capital, he should read more, listen less, talk less, and do not promise anything easily. It turned out that Xiang Ming had guessed that these two people would come to win over him, so he woke him up with words when he broke up. He had pointed out a way for him to live, that is, to rely on the Fang family, otherwise he, a small general, would inevitably suffer no matter where he offended him.

"Cough..." A cough came from outside the door, calling Xu Haifeng back from his memories. He had achieved great martial arts skills. He could only hear the sound and footsteps, and he knew that the military advisor Jiang Kongming was at the door.

"Military advisor, please come in." Xu Haifeng hurriedly greeted.

Jiang Kongming walked in with Lin Changkong's company. At this time, Jiang Kongming was already the second-ranked figure in the Black Flag Army. It was natural that Lin Changkong, a top master, was ordered to follow him and protect his safety.

"I don't know what the lord is asking for, what's going on?" Jiang Kongming asked.

Xu Haifeng didn't talk nonsense to him, and directly handed him the two invitations in his hand. Jiang Kongming glanced at him, thought for a while, looked up and smiled, "Is it because the two kings competed for the throne?"

Xu Haifeng was moved. Although he had known that Jiang Kongming was so intelligent that he was rare in his life, he guessed it just by looking at the invitation. This was too horrifying: "The military advisor is right, I was about to ask you for a solution."

Jiang Kongming smiled and said nothing, just covering his head with his hands, making him look drowsy. Xu Haifeng had been with him for many days and had been used to his movements. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately understood what he meant and asked, "You asked me to pretend to be sick?"

"Yes, if the lord has just entered Beijing and has not yet established a stable foothold, then he has to choose one and follow it. But now the lord has the support of the Fang family, so he naturally doesn't have to pay attention to it. And until the situation is clear, they will not come to trouble the lord, or they dare not come to trouble the Fang family." Jiang Kongming analyzed.

"Okay, according to the military advisor's words, I will reply and refuse."

"It's inappropriate. The lord should forward this post to the Fang family and let them deal with it. This is the right way."
