Walking hand in hand with Mifeng into the spacious and majestic city guard house, Wu Feng seemed to be very interested in everything here. While admiring the scenery inside the city guard with great interest, he chatted and laughed with Mi Feng beside him. A group of generals filed in behind them.
"Lord Mi, I can't see that the city guard's mansion in Lulong Mansion is built in such a way that it doesn't use a cave. Hey, look at this corridor and these cornices. It costs a lot of money, right? Well, I really can't see that your Qiao City Shou is still an elegant man, what? I don’t seem to see any trace of your Master Qiao? Could it be that he is so busy that he can’t find his home?" Wu Feng pretended to be crazy, squinting his eyes and teasing half-jokingly.
Mi Feng, who was leading the way, couldn't help but blush on his face. He couldn't answer for a while. As a city guard, he disappeared mysteriously when the enemy was in front of him. No matter how he inquired, there was no news. Although Mi Feng and Qiao Xia had no relationship. It's not harmonious, but after all, being an official in the same city still doesn't sound like a good idea.
"Uh, this, Mr. Qiao," Mi Feng was about to explain, but was stopped by Wu Feng with a wave of his hand.
"Lord Mi, there is no need to explain. You and I both know that Qiao Xia escaped from the battlefield. I'm afraid no one can help him. Even His Highness will not waste time on such a person. We don't need to talk about him now. He Naturally, the Imperial Supervision Department will take care of the matter, and we should consider the current situation more carefully before we get down to business." Wu Feng's words were as sharp as a knife, and Mi Feng was not allowed to interrupt.
Being forced to speak out by the other party's strong tone, Mi Feng could only sigh lightly, shake his head and say no more.
Passing through a pond with crystal clear water and a fence, you will reach the gorgeous meeting hall. Among them is an extremely beautifully framed picture of roaring tigers and mountains. It is an original work by a famous artist. After taking a glance, I feel that there is no sharp edge. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took three steps to sit in the guest seat on the right. Mu Lige and Xiong Daoyuan followed closely behind him, and only Mi Feng sat on the left side.
"Mr. Mi, Mr. Li is a straightforward person, and he doesn't want to go around. The situation is tense at the moment. Mr. Li would like to hear what Mr. Mi's plans are now." Narrowing his eyes, Wu Feng leaned back on the large chair and spoke. It was common for his subordinates to look unruly like Mu Lige, but Xiong Daoyuan and others were full of respect and had no feeling at all, but Mi Feng frowned.
"The current situation in the empire is chaotic and unclear. Mi Feng will only temporarily lead the Lulong Guard Division. All orders must be obeyed by his superiors. If Li people have any suggestions, Mi Feng is all ears." The words that were neither humble nor overbearing were well-founded and well-founded. Feng blocked his words.
With his eyes closed, there was a glimmer of light, and Wu Feng secretly sneered: "Oh? I'm afraid Master Mi is not very clear about some situations, right? Now Beiyuan has all fallen except Lulong, and so have Yan Yun's Cangzhou and Yunzhong mansions. It fell into the hands of thieves, but Longdong is still controlled by the Taiping rebels. We have lost all communication channels with the empire and cannot get in touch with the empire at all. But according to the intelligence we have obtained, now the Taiping army except Lulong In addition to the 60,000 troops, there are also tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Taiping Religion of Anyuan Prefecture that have also rushed westward. Now I am afraid they have entered Lulong territory, how should we deal with it?"
Hearing what Wu Feng said, Mi Feng felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that he had expected the imperial army in Beiyuan County to quickly put out the rebellion and at least stabilize the current situation. He didn't expect the situation to be so bad. This was really unexpected. He was not expecting it. The remaining four prefectures in Beiyuan have fallen. What about the empire's more than 100,000 troops? Thinking of this, Mi Feng couldn't help but look at the other party with suspicion.
As if he had seen through the other party's thoughts, he shook his head disapprovingly. Wufeng looked calm: "Master Mi, Li Wufeng does not need to play any tricks on these. The imperial army is threatened by the Taiping rebels in the south, and hundreds of thousands of Pu people are in the north. How can they sustain the pressure of the army? Can you imagine that they can still gain a foothold in Beiyuan County?"
"Puer people?! These damn rebels actually colluded with foreign enemies?!" Mi Feng finally understood why his troops had persisted for so long but could never see a single soldier of the Imperial Army. That's it! In this way, the empire still has to face the pressure of foreign invasion on the northern border. At least for now, it can't take care of its own side. Thinking of this, Mi Feng suddenly felt weak.
"Master Li, what do you mean?" Mi Feng calmed down and asked, having been a soldier for many years after all.
"Now the Lulong Mansion is leaderless. As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. Qiao Xia is greedy for life and fears death and runs away from the battle. He is not qualified to be the guard of Lulong City at all. Mr. Mi, who is loyal to the country, is actually the best candidate to guard Lulong City at the moment. I think if Mr. Mi's ability to act as the guardian of Lulong City will definitely help stabilize the current situation and help us hold on to the last piece of land in Beiyuan County. What do you think?" Wu Feng pointed out the topic directly.
"Oh?" Mi Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party was going around asking him to serve as the city guard. Did he want to use this position to bribe him? Or is there another picture? Suspicious eyes swept over the other party's face, but the other party behaved quite calmly and even calmly began to admire the pictures in the hall.
"Lord Li, although you are the Duke of the Empire, Beiyuan County is under the direct control of the Empire's central government. Who will take up the position of Lulong City Guardian is probably not something you and I can decide on. I think that before the Empire Central Committee issues an appointment and dismissal order, The guardian of Lulong City should still be Sir Qiao Xiaqiao. Mi Feng is just an imperial servant. He just wants to do his duty well. It is better not to be too overconfident as a person. It is better to be more settled." Mi Feng said these words. Although the gun and the club were not directly stated, the implication was that even the people sitting under Wu Feng changed their minds. If they hadn't seen Wu Feng's smile and lack of anger, they would have stood up and angrily scolded the other party for not being polite.
"Master Mi, what you said is wrong. Li has no intention of taking over power, but the current situation is critical. If the leader cannot be determined early, it will definitely affect the subsequent defense plan. If this can be considered as overstepping, then Li will bear the charge. What's the harm? As for Qiao Xia, Li can't believe that the empire can tolerate such clown corpses. It's a blessing that he can escape from the imperial supervision department. To think of other things is just a dream!" Wu Feng didn't say anything at all. Angered by the other party's unreasonable words, he still explained unhurriedly, but the tough attitude in his tone did not change at all.
I didn't expect that the other party would be so difficult to deal with, and Mi Feng also had a headache. "Master Li, if you don't have a legitimate reputation, you can't stand up. If there is no appointment from the central government of the empire, I'm afraid no one will be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility." He still tried his best to shirk it.
"Hey, it's urgent. I'm afraid no one can object. If there is any responsibility, it will be borne by Li. Mr. Mi, don't refuse. The overall situation is important!" Seeing that the other party's tone had become much softer, he was helpless. The front is pressing forward step by step.
"But Mi Feng really knows nothing about government affairs. If he only talks about military affairs, Mi Feng would be somewhat confident." At this time, Mi Feng had been forced into a dead end.
"That's nothing. The first priority right now is to strengthen the defense of the city and ensure that Lulong City is not lost. As for other government affairs, it comes second. If Mr. Mi feels that you are really in difficulty, I think it is better to ask my subordinate Gu Liangchen to help you handle the government affairs. Everything will be done later. Let’s talk about it after the situation is stable, what do you think?” Wu Feng suggested with a smile.
Although it seems a bit abrupt, given that Qiao Xia is missing, his confidants, the Director of Administration and the Director of Finance are also missing, and the Director of Internal Affairs is obviously a spy planted by the Taiping rebels, the entire administrative department is almost useless. People, and the other party strongly recommended it, Mi Feng really had no reason to reject the other party's kindness, so he nodded and accepted.
Seeing the other party nodding in agreement, Wu Feng felt secretly happy. He had long known the other party's stubborn 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 accepted the important task of city guard. With his prestige and connections in Lulong Mansion, he believes that he can organize effective actions quickly, and he has quietly placed his chess pieces in Lulong Administration. Taking on important responsibilities in the organization not only makes it easier to control the situation in Lulong, but also lays a good foundation for future work.
Gu Liangchen was originally the secret agent of Wufeng Intelligence Department in Lulong. He was also very familiar with Lulong's situation and had outstanding performance in the intelligence department. Although it was a pity to turn from covert to bright, he had no choice but to obey the overall situation. At present, Mi Feng still has a deep prejudice against himself, which cannot be eliminated in a short time. The threat of the Taiping Army is imminent, and he cannot put too much energy on Lulong, so he has to make this move and let Mi Feng first. Feng relied on various forces in Lulong Mansion to stabilize the overall situation of Lulong, while his own people seized the time to secretly cultivate strength. It would be great if he could pull Mi Feng into his camp, but if not, he must not let Lu Long fall into the hands of others. This idea has long been rooted in Wu Feng's heart.
"Master Li, the situation is as serious as you said. Lu Long may not be able to defend it with his own strength. Now that the northwest army has reinforced here, I hope that your Excellency can let them help Lu Long overcome the current difficulties. What do you think? ?" Now that he accepted the important task, Mi Feng stopped being polite and formally offered help to Wu Feng.
Wu Feng looked at the other party with a sincere expression, and his tone was extremely serious: "Mr. Mi, please rest assured that once the Northwest Army comes, we will make sure it is safe and we will never let Lulong City fall into the hands of the rebels. Whatever help we need, we will do our best." . It’s just that Lulong also needs to strengthen its own defense force. I suggest Mr. Mi see if he can form another division of garrison? Everyone has the responsibility to defend their homeland. I believe that the people of Lulong can understand and will definitely participate enthusiastically. If there is For other needs such as officers, weapons, and training, please feel free to raise them and Li Wufeng will comply with them!"
