Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes, and her fragrant shoulders, as smooth as jade, also swelled slightly. Wu Feng couldn't bear it for a moment, but he knew that he couldn't give in on this kind of thing. Once a precedent was set, he would not be able to bear it in the future. I have a lot of troubles.
"Yingying, I can understand your feelings towards your housekeeper and the family, but I don't want you to get too involved in these things. Now that you have entered my Li family, you should pay more attention to these things. Whether the Kongtong sect can enter Kansai for development depends on whether the conditions are suitable. I don’t want any personal feelings to be involved in these matters, especially you. If your father has any ideas, he can go directly to the officials in charge. There is no need for you to get involved. And, if conditions permit, I will naturally consider your family." Wu Feng did not relax his words at all, but at the end, he left a back door for Guan Yingying, who was already in tears.
Although Guan Yingying usually has a rough temper, she is still very sensitive to Ai Lang's words. When Ai Lang's face showed a helpless look, she knew that her words and deeds had finally achieved results. Although Ai Lang's words were harsh, But as someone who has been sleeping with her for several years, Yingying naturally knows that there is a trace of looseness in Ai Lang's words. Of course, she also knows that Ai Lang's words also clearly express a meaning, that is, she hopes that she can position herself correctly and not Use your own identity to get involved in the struggle for interests of your own family and sect.
With such a pitiful look, Wu Feng couldn't bear to blame her any more, so he had to hug her into his arms and comfort her randomly. But after these words of warning, I believe Yingying wouldn't dare to do anything else. Unexpectedly, if you still want to gain a foothold by your side, you can't go beyond that. This also sounds a warning to other women. However, Wu Feng was unsure how long this warning would last. After all, his family's interests were involved, and who could put aside worldly family ties? Wu Feng actually had no better way to solve such matters. deal with.
"The essence of the supreme Tao is graceful and graceful; the extreme of the Tao is dim and silent. Ignore and do not listen, embrace the spirit to be still, and the form will straighten itself. It must be quiet and clear. There is no need to strain your form, and there is no need to shake your essence. You can live forever." Until he came down the mountain, Wu Feng was still silently reciting the profound and profound words that the Yellow Emperor got when he asked Guang Chengzi on Kongtong Mountain. Everyone in the world said that gods are good, and immortality is a happy life, but these self-proclaimed Why are Taoist priests who want to get closer to the way of heaven as full of desire for all kinds of things in this world as ordinary people in the world? Wu Feng couldn't understand that since he could live forever, do he still need to be attached to everything in this mortal world
It seems that these Taoist priests are not much different from ordinary people. They are also full of desire for things in this world that they should not spy on. If this is the case, perhaps many problems will be much easier to solve for themselves.
After crossing the Rouzhi River, the largest tributary of the Jing River between its origin and Kongtong Mountain, Wu Feng and his party embarked on the road back to Tianshui, and sent Wu Feng and his party out of the mountain gate. The elders of the Kongtong Sect were all full of excitement, although There are still many things that require blood and sweat, but this at least has the tacit approval of the northwest king who dominates the side, and the Kongtong faction will have more opportunities for development. Of course, these opportunities are not without sacrifice, but these sacrifices It should be said that it is worth it even if it is bigger. Wufeng was also very satisfied. Liang Chongxin's arrangement and his own vagueness made the Kongtong faction have to pay more. In the end, he did not give the other party many substantive answers. Everything required them to do it in the future. Only if they have time to prove their sincerity can they have a chance to continue their cooperation, otherwise everything will be a castle in the air.
Sitting on the carriage, Wu Feng silently closed his eyes. The urgent information that had just been transmitted from the imperial capital once again made his somewhat relaxed mood suddenly tense again. It was true that the trees were quiet but the wind was not stopping. He had to think He didn't know if this opportunity to rest for a while would be interrupted, and he had no idea. Situ Lang, the superintendent of the country, finally announced that in view of the current severe situation, the eighth and ninth legions were newly formed to take charge of the eastern and northern defense lines. Only three days later, the Japanese Tachihara family finally defeated the Tachihara family. The other major families that were contending ended the war that lasted for hundreds of years. The Tatehara Mountains and Rivers finally had the opportunity to point their troops outwards. A large-scale shipbuilding plan surfaced with great fanfare, and the Atlantic Ocean was in turmoil.
Situ Yuan, who had been staying in Yuhang because he was ill, suddenly suggested to the court that in view of the unstable situation in Jiangnan, he asked the central government of the empire to allow him to form the Tenth Army, and to unite many businessmen and gentry to raise funds for the initial stage of the newly formed Tenth Army. funds, and used the media and newspapers in Jiangnan to publicize it. This is obviously suspected of killing first and then showing off, but Situ Yuan does not seem to care about this. He believes that his brother who is supervising the country at this time simply does not have the power to restrain or limit himself. That is just To cause trouble for himself, even if his brother who supervises the country delays the approval, he will still form the Tenth Legion according to his own plan. Jiangnan's fiscal revenue is enough to form two more legions without any problem. Of course, he still can't It was too obvious. If my father, who had been addicted to illness, suddenly woke up, maybe an imperial edict would send him into an abyss, so he had to be careful.
The Kaman people in Jiayuguan Pass are once again showing signs of instability. According to reports obtained from Kaman, the number of people stationed at Jiayuguan Pass, which was originally only about 30,000, has now increased to at least 50,000, and the number is still increasing. It is estimated that it will be added to a corps in the near future. Although it is not enough to pose a fatal threat to Taixuan, it is linked to the intelligence that Beijerok's Kaman army is also increasing. This has to let Wu Feng serve as Nanjielok's army. of safety concerns. It seems that Gomez has finally stabilized his political position in the country, regained control of the initiative, and is ready to take action. However, he may still be waiting for an opportunity. It has always been this guy's strategy to make a decision and then act.
Currently, the Jerok garrison garrisoned at Merlington has recovered to 50,000 people, but its combat effectiveness is unbelievable. The only thing that can be relied on is Yuchibin's Second Division of the Southern Jerok Army and the imperial defense garrisoned at Merrington. Bo Tao Division, fortunately, the missing soldiers of Zhan Bo Tao Division have been fully replenished, and Wu Feng had a pretty good opinion of this young man after meeting Zhan Bo Tao who came to Qingyang to see him not long ago. , and the relationship between Zhan Botao and Yuchi Bin is also quite good, which makes Wufeng quite confident about Merington's defensive operations. As long as they hold on to Merlington, the Kamans won't be able to cause much trouble.
Quietly thinking about all this, Wu Feng knew that maybe the peaceful days were coming to an end, and the dark clouds in the sky were beginning to appear again. Whether it was the Taiping people or the Kaman people, they would not let this situation last long. Once Cheng Dayou has established a foothold in Jiujiang, I am afraid that continuous wars will follow one after another.
The journey from the foot of Kongtong Mountain to Tianshui Fucheng is a bit remote. You need to walk fifty miles to enter the main commercial road from Tianshui to Longdong. Even the condition of this commercial road from Tianshui to Longdong is not very good. Many sections The roadbed has been in disrepair for a long time, and some small bridges and culverts even gave Wu Feng the feeling that they might collapse at any time.
The conscientious soldiers of the Guards worked hard to search every suspicious location a hundred meters away, whether in farmland or in the mountains and forests. This time the Jiedushi Master brought a large number of female family members on a trip, which was also the most arduous mission performed by the Guardsmen. The distance between the several carriages was not large. The thick armored knights covered the several carriages tightly. Everything seemed so peaceful.
When the shrill screams pierced the sky, followed by a loud bang, the heavily armored knights didn't even have time to react before they were hit by the sudden crossbows and boulders and opened a large hole. Two rows of heavily armored knights The men and horses were torn apart by the powerful shock wave from the flanks. Dozens of knights died on the spot. Broken limbs and flesh mixed with broken armors were scattered on the ground. Countless boulders and crossbows were scattered one after another. pouring down from the distant hillside, in just a few breaths, several carriages in the team were also smashed to pieces by the swarming boulders and crossbows.
Liang Chongxin, who was frightened and angry, quickly formed a formation, while the well-prepared light armored soldiers immediately judged the direction where the assassin was hiding, divided into two teams and carried out an outflank as quickly as possible, cutting off the enemy's retreat. A group of soldiers rushed straight towards the hillside 300 meters away. It was obvious that the assassin's strike force came from the hidden part of the hillside.
Bursts of shouts of killing came out from the jungle on the hillside. The searching soldiers encountered the enemy, but these soldiers who were specially responsible for guarding and hunting clearly had the upper hand. The screams of death came one after another, and they were surrounded from both sides. The soldiers also entered the battle after completing the encirclement, and the ensuing fight did not have much suspense. Assassins who were good at using equipment were not necessarily good at hand-to-hand combat, but they faced warriors who had experienced battles for a long time.
"Report to Lord Liang that the battlefield has been cleared. Forty-seven people were killed on the spot and twenty-three were captured. Six ballistas and three detachable multi-arm catapults were found on the low slopes of the hillside." When the battle was resolved, When the soldier captain ran to Liang Chongxin, Liang Chongxin could no longer restrain his rage. Such a tragic situation could occur on the Tianshui territory. This cannot but be said to the extent of the enemy's madness, and he himself Does a military commander who is solely responsible for Tianshui affairs also have some responsibility
