The atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull. Wu Feng nodded slightly to express his understanding, but he did not agree: "Is it because of the assassination? If it is this incident, I don't think you have much responsibility. The main responsibility should be on me. Myself, I think you have fulfilled your duties as a captain of the Guards, and you have a clear conscience. So I do not accept your resignation."
"No, sir, it's not just the reason for this incident." Song Tianxiong's face was solemn and his tone was very solemn, "Since Tianxiong took up the post of captain of the Guards, your Excellency has been attacked twice. In addition to his own abilities, Tianxiong also believes that your current guard force is insufficient and unsuitable to undertake your security work."
Wu Feng was a little surprised that Song Tianxiong raised such a big question. Apparently his guard captain not only wanted to resign from his post, but also questioned his entire guard system. He nodded appreciatively, and he always supported subordinates who dared to put forward new insights boldly.
"Oh? If you have any opinion, feel free to speak out." Wu Feng looked at Song Tianxiong with encouraging eyes.
"Tianxiong believes that your Lordship's Guards are no longer able to adapt to the current changing situation and cannot assume the responsibility of being responsible for your Lordship's safety, but should be reformed." Seeing Wu Feng's encouragement, Song Tianxiong felt more confident.
"Your Majesty's Guards evolved from the troops directly under your jurisdiction when you were an army officer. It should be said that most of them live and die with you. There is no problem with their loyalty, and they can definitely act with dignity in battle. One against ten, but at that time, you were in the position of the leader of the army and faced more outdoor battles, so they were naturally competent. But now the situation has changed a lot, and more of the dangers to you come from hiding. There are killers and assassins sent by various hostile forces. Their assassination methods are strange and complex, making it difficult for you to guard against. The danger posed by real battlefield fighting has been secondary. In order to deal with these people, in addition to having rich skills, In addition to experience and vigilance at any time and anywhere, more importantly, each of us must also have strong abilities to fight alone and jointly, which is particularly important.”
"In these two assassinations, your Excellency can also see that the assassins and killers chosen by the enemy are all from the world. They are either members of the sect, or maybe some killers and assassin organizations who make a living by assassinating. Not only are they personally They are extremely capable and have the ability to join forces. Their pre-designed action plan was fully demonstrated in this assassination. If it weren't for someone in the middle, I'm afraid they would have succeeded. Looking at the composition of our current guard, they may have succeeded. We are first-class warriors on the battlefield, but we are clearly unable to cope with such sudden, complex, and changeable demands for personal combat under various circumstances and times. I was thinking that even a few days ago If you bring the guards with you, I'm afraid you will encounter the same results, or even worse, because they may also interfere with the actions of those who can have an effect." Song Tianxiong told all his thoughts in one breath.
Wu Feng didn't speak for a long time, and the air in the room seemed to solidify. In fact, Wu Feng had already realized this, but he couldn't see it as clearly as Song Tianxiong stood in this position. He leaned his body slightly and leaned his back against it. On the bedside, he asked calmly: "In your opinion, a guard force should be re-established, and the current Guards Regiment is no longer necessary?"
Song Tianxiong's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "My subordinates believe that it is absolutely necessary to reorganize a new guard force, and the current Guards Regiment must not be abolished, but its work functions should be changed. They are the most loyal and brave Soldiers are best suited to fighting on the battlefield. I personally believe that it should be expanded and strengthened, such as establishing a Guards Division as a mobile force under the direct command of adults." This is the focus of Song Tianxiong's proposal today. .
Song Tianxiong's suggestion caused a great shock in Wu Feng's heart. To establish a mobile force directly under his control? ! This suggestion is indeed quite shocking, and its scale is that of a division! In contrast, the suggestion to reorganize a small-scale personal guard force is also very practical. In fact, Song Tianxiong's suggestion is to expand the currently integrated Guards Regiment into a division, and at the same time combine the two Function - The military mobile force directly subordinate to the leader and the elite guard force responsible for the leader's personal safety are completely separated, becoming two force groups with completely different properties. The former is much larger and becomes an important mobile force in his hands. power, and the latter becomes his personal bodyguard.
Seeing that Wu Feng's face no longer had the initial calmness, but was lost in thought, Song Tianxiong also knew that his boss was considering the feasibility of his suggestion, although he also knew that even if his suggestion was approved by Wu Feng, there would be There are still many issues worthy of discussion. The first thing to pass is the financial hurdle. It is not a trivial matter to form a powerful Guards Division. It involves all aspects of issues, including establishment, personnel, funding, etc. There is no money involved, but can Northwest finances support it now
After thinking for a while, Wu Feng finally spoke: "Your suggestion is necessary, but it shows that the Guards Division is not realistic yet, at least not yet, but establishing a small guard force can be implemented now. I think You should continue to do your current job until there is no notification of job changes, and I will consider your suggestions carefully. Can you please share your thoughts on the sources of personnel for the establishment of the security force."
Song Tianxiong suggested that some of the outstanding disciples of Wu Feng's Jianghu sect be willing to join Wu Feng's Guards. After inspections and their loyalty was guaranteed, they would gradually replace the original soldiers and finally form a new guard. He also said that Gu Dengyun was more suitable to join the Guards. Responsible for this task, I am more suitable for the work of the Guards. Wu Feng did not comment on his suggestion, but he agreed that he could set up some people in the Jianghu who were willing to be loyal to him to conduct inspections. It was obvious that he still had prejudices against people in the Jianghu.
While Wu Feng was resting in bed for a few days, the internal affairs department's investigation work also made some progress. According to the intelligence provided by someone now, two of the four assassins who appeared at that time used martial arts called "Eighteen Transformations of Fish and Dragon" ", and the martial arts used by the other assassin who caused damage to Wu Feng is the "Shadowless Divine Fist", and the "Eighteen Transformations of Fish and Dragon" was originally a unique skill of the Hongze sect, a famous water sect in the Jiangnan area. A movement technique that evolved from water kung fu, but it was lost decades ago after the death of the previous generation leader. The Hongze sect has now been reduced to a third-rate sect, and this martial arts examination has not Someone participated; and the "Shadowless Divine Fist" is a unique skill of the Tianshan sect, a major martial arts sect in the northwest region, but there are no known male disciples who can master this skill and reach the point where they can hit Wu Feng. Both sects deny involvement in this incident. This has caused a huge headache for the internal affairs department.
However, during the subsequent investigation, personnel from the internal affairs department clashed with unidentified people in an inn in the West District. The other party also used the same skills used to assassinate Wu Feng. Later, the unknown people escaped again, but from there A large number of objects found in the room showed that they came from the northwest or western regions, and the internal affairs department concluded that the assassins were hostile elements from the northwest or western regions.
After learning about this situation, Wu Feng did not say much other than urging the internal affairs department to step up the pursuit of the assassin. The martial arts examination continued to be held, and more than half of the more than 4,000 contestants were screened out under the first basic ability test by examiners invited by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The remaining contestants were divided into multiple groups for brutal elimination rounds.
However, there were also some problems in this military examination. Since some of the winners from this competition will directly enter the Imperial Yulin Army and become officers, it has also aroused the interest of some noble children who did not pay much attention to it in the past, and they have invested in it. Zhongyuan Guild Hall, and Zhongyuan Guild Hall, also used various efforts for this competition. In particular, they took advantage of the favorable conditions of hosting and put a lot of thought into the organization and operation of the competition process, which caused many strange phenomena to occur in the knockout rounds. Many strong players met two to three rounds in advance and were unable to enter the finals where they were ultimately ranked. However, many players of average Chung Yuan Hall received better draws and were able to enter the final competition. .
This caused dissatisfaction among many participating sects. However, since the Zhongyuan Guild Hall was the organizer, it used its power to make reasonable arrangements. Although it was suspected of favoritism, it did not violate the rules of the competition. Moreover, the natural privileges of nobles under imperial law also made it possible Various sects were full of complaints, but they had no choice but to swallow their grievances. However, many large sects have only achieved very little gains after their hard work, and many originally promising disciples have lost their names.
The days passed like this. After nearly a week of rest, Wu Feng basically recovered. However, internal injuries also prevented his internal strength from returning to its original best state. He also knew the crux of his problem, but even if He asked An Qier and Qin Shuangying to have sex with him in the same bed, but he still failed to achieve his goal. Maybe only the virgin Yuan Yin could make him recover and improve.
The news of Wu Feng's assassination quickly spread back to the northwest through the media, and the people of the entire northwest county were excited. The vague investigation report of the imperial interior department also aroused the people of the northwest. The northwest people mentioned in the report Or the hostile elements in the Western Region caused the people of all ethnic groups who worshiped Wu Feng as a god to immediately arouse hatred towards the countries in the Western Region and the two prefectures of Yinchuan and Taixuan in the northwest. The first newspaper in the northwest was founded in Qingyang The Northwest Star also added fuel to the flames, causing tensions among several parties.
On February 18, 695 in the Continental Calendar, Xiao Tang, Director of the Administrative Department of the Northwest County Military and Military Affairs Bureau, accepted an interview with the Northwest Star and said that the people of Northwest China and Northern Luzon will never tolerate the occurrence of this incident. His assassination will undoubtedly destroy the people of the entire northwest and northern Luzon. He warned the surrounding forces with malicious intentions that they must hand over the murderer to accept punishment, otherwise the most serious consequences will result.
Since Xiao Tang is actually the number one figure in the government system of Northwest and Northern Luzon, his opinions actually reflect the attitude of the military government in the entire Northwest and Northern Luzon. However, his words do not clarify who is the plotter. The main messenger who assassinated Li Wufeng caused serious uneasiness in all parties around the northwest.
