Section 62: Tongue Debate
Walking step by step with Mi Feng into the spacious and magnificent city guard house, Wu Feng seemed to be very interested in everything here. While enjoying the scenery inside the city guard with great interest, he chatted and laughed with Mi Feng beside him. A group of generals followed closely behind the two of them.
"Mr. Mi, I can't see that the city guard of Lulong Mansion is built so much. Wow, look at this corridor and this eaves, it costs a lot of money, right? Well, I really can't see that you Qiao Chengshou is still a gentleman, why? It seems that you didn't see your Lord Qiao? Could it be that you were so busy that you can't find your home?" Wu Feng pretended to be crazy and teased with his eyes slanted and half-joking.
Mi Feng, who was leading the way, couldn't help but turn red. He was difficult to answer for a while. As the guard of Yicheng City, he suddenly disappeared when the enemy was in front of him. No matter how much he inquired, there was no news. Although Mi Feng and Qiao Xia did not have a harmonious relationship, it still sounded like an official in the same city.
"Uh, this, Lord Qiao ````````````` Mi Feng was about to explain, but Wu Feng waved his hand to stop him.
"Mr. Mi, there is no need to explain. You and I know that Qiao Xia escaped in the face of the battle. I am afraid no one can help him. Even the Lord Highness will not be too troublesome for such people. Now we don't have to talk about him anymore. Naturally, the Imperial Supervision Department will take charge of his affairs. We should consider the current situation more seriously." Wufeng's words were as sharp as a knife, and Mi Feng could not interfere in discrimination.
After being pushed out by the other party's tough tone, Mi Feng could only sigh lightly, shake his head and stop talking.
After passing through a clear pond, Yuechi returned to the railing, there was a gorgeously shaped conference hall. In it, a picture of tiger roaring in the mountains was a masterpiece. When you glanced at it, Wufeng showed a cold smile on his lips. He shook his steps and sat in the host and guest seat on the right head three times. Mulige, Xiong Daoyuan and others also sat closely behind him, with only Mi Feng sitting on the left.
"Master Mi, Li is a straightforward person and doesn't want to go around the circle. The situation is tense. Li really wants to hear what Lord Mi's plans are now?" Squinted his eyes, Wufeng leaned back on the wide chair, looking unruly. His subordinates were commonplace like Mulige, while Xiong Daoyuan and others were full of respect and had no feelings at all, but Mi Feng frowned.
"The current situation in the empire is unclear. Mi Feng is just taking Lu Long's security division for the time being. Everything should be followed by the orders of superiors. What are the opinions of the people of Li? Mi Feng listened with politeness." His words were reasonable and well-founded, and he blocked Wufeng's words.
A divine light burst out as his eyes closed, and Wufeng sneered secretly: "Oh? Lord Mi is probably not very clear about some situations, right? Now all Beiyuan has fallen except Lu Long, and Yanyun's Cangzhou Yunzhong Prefectures have also been defeated by the thief, but Longdong is still controlled by the Taiping Rebels. We have lost all contact channels with the empire and cannot contact the empire at all. But according to the information we obtained, in addition to the 60,000 troops in Lu Long, there are tens of thousands of Taiping Cult reinforcements from Anyuan Prefecture that have rushed westward. Now they may have entered Lu Long. How should we deal with it?"
After hearing Wufeng's words, Mi Feng felt cold to the end. It turned out that he was still counting on the imperial army of Beiyuan County to quickly extinguish the rebellion and at least stabilize the current situation. Unexpectedly, the situation was so bad, which was beyond his expectations. The other four prefectures of Beiyuan were all falling, what about the more than 100,000 troops of the empire? Thinking of this, Mi Feng couldn't help but look at the other party with suspicious eyes.
As if seeing through the other party’s thoughts, he shook his head disapprovingly. Wufeng’s face was calm: “Mr. Mi, Li Wufeng doesn’t need to make any tricks on these. The imperial army is threatened by the Taiping rebels in the south, and the north is under pressure from hundreds of thousands of Puer troops. How can they still support it? Can you imagine that they can still gain a foothold in Beiyuan County?”
"Pur people?! These damn thieves actually colluded with foreign enemies?!" Mi Feng then understood why his troops had persisted for so long but could not see the soldiers and soldiers of the Imperial Army. So that's it! In this way, the empire still had to face the pressure of invasion from the enemy outside the northern border, at least it could not care about his side. Thinking of this, Mi Feng suddenly felt weak all over.
"Mr. Li, what do you mean?" After calming down, Mi Feng was a soldier for many years and asked quickly calmed down.
"Now, the Lulong Mansion has no leader. As the saying goes, "Snakes are not headless." Qiao Xia is greedy for life and fears death and escapes in the face of battle. He is not qualified to be the guard of Lulong City at all. And Lord Mi is loyal to the country, and he is actually the best candidate for Lulong City to defend. I think if Lord Mi can act as the guard of Lulong City as a position, it will definitely help stabilize the current situation and help us hold the last piece of land in Beiyuan County. I wonder what you think?" Wu Feng directly pointed out the topic.
"Oh?" Mi Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party wanted to take on the position of the city guard. He wanted to use this position to buy himself? Or was there another picture? His suspicious eyes swept over the other party's face, but the other party was quite calm and even calmly admired the pictures in the hall.
"Mr. Li, although you are the Duke of the Empire, Beiyuan County is directly under the central government. Who will take the position of Lulong City Guardian may not be counted by you and I will say it. I think before the Central Government of the Empire has issued an order to dismiss the appointment and removal, Lulong City Guardian will be Qiao Xia Qiao. Mi Feng is just an imperial soldier. He just wants to do his duty well. It is better not to be too self-confident. It is better to be more at ease." Although Mi Feng's words were not directly pointed out, the implications of even the few people sitting under Wufeng's head changed color. If he hadn't seen Wufeng smiled slightly and was angry, he would have stood up and scolded the other party for being ungrateful.
"Mr. Mi said this. Li had no intention of abusing power, but the situation is critical. If the leader was not decided early, it would inevitably affect the defense plan behind him. If this was considered as a surrogate, what's the point of taking on this crime? As for Qiao Xia, Li could not believe that the Empire could tolerate such a clown's position as a corpse. It was a blessing for him to escape the handling of the imperial supervision department. He also wanted to dream of anything else, just a dream!" Wufeng was not angry at the other party's unreasonable words at all, and he still explained slowly, but his tough attitude in his tone did not change at all.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so difficult, and Mi Feng also had a headache, "Mr. Li, if his reputation is not upright, he will not be able to establish himself. Without the appointment of the Central Committee of the Empire, no one would be able to bear this burden." He still shuddered.
"Hehe, I'm afraid no one can object. If there is any responsibility, it will be borne by Li. Lord Mi should not refuse. The overall situation is important!" Seeing that the other party's tone had become much weaker, Wufeng pressed step by step.
"But Mi Feng really knows nothing about government affairs. If we only talk about military affairs, Mi Feng would be somewhat sure." At this time, Mi Feng had been forced to a dead end.
"That's nothing. The first priority at the moment is to strengthen the defense of the capital city and ensure that Lulong City is not lost. As for other government affairs, it is second. If Lord Mi feels that there is really difficulties, I think it's better to let my subordinate Gu Liangchen come to help you with government affairs. Let's talk about it after everything is stable. What do you think?" Wufeng suggested with a smile.
Although I felt a little abrupt, given Qiao Xia's disappearance, his confidant Chief Executive and Chief Finance were also gone. The Director of the Interior was obviously a spy installed by the Taiping Rebel Party, and there was almost no one available in the entire administrative department. The other party recommended it again. Mi Feng had no reason to refuse the kindness of the party, so he nodded and accepted it.
Seeing the other party nodding in agreement, Wufeng felt a secret joy. He had long understood the other party's tough temper. If he didn't force him into a corner, it would be difficult to make the other party submit. At present, the other party has already undertaken the important task of city guarding. With his prestige and connections in Lulong's mansion, he believes that he can quickly organize effective actions. He still calmly put the chess pieces in his hand into Lulong's administrative agency to take on important tasks. This will not only facilitate control of the situation in Lulong, but also lay a good foundation for future work.
Gu Liangchen was originally the secret line of Wufeng's intelligence department in Lu Long, and was very familiar with Lu Long's situation and performed outstandingly in the intelligence department. Although it was a pity to go from secret to light, he had no choice but to obey the overall situation. At present, Mifeng still had a deep prejudice against him and could not be eliminated in a short period of time. The threat from the Taiping Army was imminent, and he could not put too much energy on Lu Long, so he had to take this downside. First, let Mifeng stabilize the overall situation with various forces in Lu Long's mansion, and his people seized the time to secretly cultivate their strength. It would be good if Mifeng could be pulled into his own camp, but if it didn't work, Lu Long would never fall into the hands of others. This idea has long been rooted in Wufeng's heart.
"Mr. Li, the situation is as severe as you said. It may be difficult to defend Lu Long's own strength alone. Since the Northwest Army has reinforced it, I hope that Lord can help them help Lu Long through the current difficulties. I wonder what you are thinking?" Since he accepted the important task, Mi Feng stopped being polite and formally offered help to Wufeng.
Wufeng looked sincere and looked at the other party with a serious tone: "Please rest assured, Lord Mi, since the Northwest Army came, I will never let Lulong City fall into the hands of the rebels. We will do our best if we need any help. But Lulong also needs to strengthen his own defense. I suggest Lord Mi to see if he can form another security army in the division? Everyone has the responsibility to defend his home. I believe that the people of Lulong can understand and will definitely participate actively. If there are other aspects such as officers, weapons, and training needs, please don't be polite. Even if it is mentioned, Li Wufeng will obey his orders!"
