"Sir, would it be too risky for you to directly disclose our agreement with the Luobei people to His Highness the Sixth Prince? If he leaks this matter, we will be very passive." Xiao Tang's approach to me Some worries.

Wu Feng shook his head, "I believe he is a smart man. Leaking this matter will not do him much good, and His Majesty the Emperor will not fully support him because of this matter. He will only gain more than he loses. Our Bonan The situation is very difficult, and I am afraid that the development speed cannot meet our expectations just relying on the support of the region, so I am taking this gamble."

Seeing that Xiao Tang was still a little worried, Wu Feng continued: "Among the several His Highnesses who are expected to be crowned, I am afraid he can only be ranked last in terms of strength. At least his support rate in the army is very low. He lacks military power to back him up. , it is too difficult to ascend to the great treasure. Now, except for the Imperial Guard and the City Guard, which are controlled by His Majesty's cronies, the other troops in the four major military regions of the East, West, North, and South can be seen more or less. The shadow of His Highness. His Highness the Sixth just showed his face through this opportunity. He may have the support of invisible powerful people in the court or local areas, but there is no gap for him to gain a foothold in the army. He must have taken this opportunity to win over me. You must have taken a fancy to the tens of thousands of troops under my command. That’s fine, let’s each get what we need and support each other.”

In the evening, Wu Feng hosted a banquet for His Royal Highness Situ Biao, the Imperial Envoy, and invited some well-known people and big businessmen in Bonan. The guests and hosts drank and chatted in a pleasant atmosphere. During the dinner, Situ Biao also made an impromptu speech titled "Seize the Opportunity and Revitalize the Empire", calling on the far-sighted people in the northwest to put down their burdens, put aside their worries, and seize the opportunity. Now that the war in the northwest has ended, it is now in an extremely rare opportunity for development. Boldly invest in business and do your part to build a better tomorrow for the empire. Li Wufeng took the lead and stood up to applaud, which also won the welcome of most people present.

Two days later, Situ Biao led the entire delegation back to the imperial capital. Li Wufeng personally led the army to escort him to the junction of Bonan Prefecture and Longdong Prefecture. He handed over the escort task to the Longdong Prefecture security force who came to greet him before returning to Bonan. .

On December 18th and 22nd, Yang Zhengbin and Su Minshun were sworn in as city guards of Bonan Prefecture and Guide Prefecture in the northwest counties of the Tanghe Empire respectively, formally establishing the local governments of the two prefectures. Li Wufeng personally presided over the inauguration ceremony for them.

On December 26, given that the reorganization of the rebels and rebel surrender troops in Guide and Bonan Prefectures had been basically completed and reorganized with the recruited reserve troops, all that was left was training work. Li Wufeng Guide announced the formal establishment of the Empire's Northwest Legion, with himself serving as the Legion Commander and Ling Tianfang as the Legion Chief of Staff. The legion has four divisions, which are composed of the original two garrison divisions of Qingyang and Jinzhou. Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu, Mulige, and Kamapov served as division commanders of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions respectively, and there were no major changes in the original deputies and subordinates assigned to them.

The newly formed Qingyang Third Guard Division was renamed Qingyang First Guard Division, and three local guard divisions were reorganized from reserve soldiers, volunteers, and surrendered troops transferred from several prefectures, and were assigned to Jinzhou, Guide and Bonan Prefectures. Zeppelin and Gao Gao began to stand out in this counter-insurgency battle and won the trust of Li Wufeng. They were appointed as the chief and deputy commanders of the Jinzhou Prefecture Security Division. With the recommendation of Cui Wenxiu and Kamapov, Rebel leaders Long Zizi and Hillman were also appointed as the chief and deputy division commanders of the Guide Guard Division. The chief and deputy commander of the Bonan Guard Division has never been determined. In view of the special geographical location and complex social situation of Bonan Mansion, after repeated consideration, Li Wufeng finally decided on the former Cui Wenxiu after discussing with Ling Tianfang and Cui Wenxiu. His deputy, Tonai, served as the division commander, and Yue Shan, the former captain of the Guards Regiment, served as the deputy division commander.

On January 1, 694 in the Continental Calendar, Xiao Tang announced in Qingyang the establishment of the Military and Political Envoy Office for the northwest counties of the empire, and issued a notice to recruit government staff. He welcomed people of insight from all over the country to serve in the northwest, and the government was waiting for them. On January 2, Molun was sworn in as the city guard of Qingyang Prefecture in the northwest county of the empire, and on January 5, James was sworn in as the city guard of Jinzhou Prefecture in the northwest county of the empire.

In just over a month, a huge military and political structure in the northwest counties of the empire was erected. This news, together with the news of the annihilation of the northwest rebels, spread like lightning throughout the empire and abroad. Whether it is the Japanese on the Far East Sea, the countries in the Central Continent to the west, the major northern countries and the nomadic peoples on the Tengger Prairie, or even the southern city-states adjacent to the Southern Ocean, dignitaries and dignitaries from all over the world are trying their best to find out about this rise. All kinds of information about the military strongman in the northwest of the empire. After all, this is a prince appointed again by the empire in the past thirty years, and this person has an impressive record. Even the arrogant Luobi cavalry have encountered his army three times in a row. He suffered a bloody head, which cannot but arouse the attention of all countries in the mainland. If Li Wufeng could be said to have emerged two years ago, it would not be an exaggeration to call him outstanding now.

"Princess, the guards outside said there is someone outside the house asking to see you."

"Oh? Who is he?" The beautiful voice came from a girl who was lying on her side on the ivory bed and was concentrating on reading. The girl's clothes were very thin. Although it was cold and windy outside, the burning charcoal stove made the room warm. Like spring, she was wearing a silver fox fur cloak lying slanted on a large lounge chair.

The girl asked casually without raising her head.

"The guard said that she seemed to be a woman, but she was wrapped up tightly and nothing could be seen. However, her voice sounded very young. She wore a veil on her face, so her face could not be seen clearly."

"Huh? Han Yan, who is it? Go and see." The words of the beautiful girl named Han Yan aroused the curiosity of the girl who was lying in bed reading a book, and the girl finally raised her head.

If any normal man were present at this time, he would definitely be fascinated by the peerless charm of the girl in front of him. Under the faint crescent moon on the delicate hibiscus jade eyebrows, a pair of haunting dark eyes are full of the spirituality of nature, just like the unfathomable deep pool, the cherry lips hanging under the jade nose. It's like a flawless piece of jade with two touches of carmine painted on it by a painter, with endless charm. However, all this is not enough to drive people crazy. Her charming and lazy scent is the sharp weapon to attract men.

Even though Han Yan was used to seeing this kind of beautiful scenery, he was still dazzled by it. He was stunned for a moment before continuing to answer: "Princess, she told the guards that she would only tell you about her old friend Putuo, and the princess will know."

"Oh? What did you say? Say it again." Han Yan was used to the princess's calm and dignified demeanor, and was very surprised by the princess's expression of surprise, so she quickly said it again.

"Go and invite her in! Hanyan, go and welcome her in for me! I'll tidy up my clothes." Situ Yushuang, who had already stood up from the bed and put on a fur cloak, immediately ordered her personal maid.

"It's really you! Sister Sophia! Where have you been all this time? I asked my father to send many people to look for you, but there is no news about you anywhere. It really makes me anxious to death!"

When the familiar figure of the guest wearing a dark cloak and a thick green gauze mask walked into the door of the central courtyard, Situ Yushuang seemed a little excited and walked out two steps at a time.

"It's me, sister!" It was obvious that the guest who walked into the courtyard was also very excited, and his voice was trembling a little, but her magnetic voice still didn't change much.

When the guest who walked into the courtyard took off his cape and lifted the thick veil in front of him, a beautiful face like a mythical angel was revealed, with chestnut hair, blue eyes, a beautiful nose and red lips, which is enough to make anyone Homosexuals are ashamed of it.

The guards standing on guard around the courtyard gate were completely conquered. The meeting of two extremely enchanting women made the bystanders on one side hold their breaths and look at this and that, all intoxicated.

"Come on, sister! Let's talk after we enter the house." It took a long time until the three women's backs disappeared from the door, but the guards who stood aside were still lost in thought.

Many years later, a guard who was present at the time introduced this precious plot in detail when he came to write "Famous Flowers of the Empire". The author who was good at expressing himself wrote: "A rich peony seems to have absorbed the aura of the king of heaven and earth. Reflecting the snow and proud of the frost; the other is like the pure snow lotus on the top of the ice peak, looking down on the world." Folk and unofficial historians vividly wrote: "The direct result of the meeting between the two women was that 12 of the 18 guards present were unmarried. From then on, he swore that if he could not marry a woman half as beautiful as the two girls, he would rather remain single for the rest of his life without marrying. Sure enough, these twelve people died alone."

The warm environment and Situ Yushuang's sincere enthusiasm quickly melted away the remaining reserve in Sophia's mind. She recalled that she quietly left the Kingdom of Siam alone and traveled thousands of miles. During this period, she had to put on makeup to prevent her from getting interested. The gangster, who had been wandering around for two months, finally arrived here, couldn't help but fall on Situ Yushuang's shoulder, who was comforting him softly, with tears in his eyes.

The maids had already gone down after serving hot tea, leaving only two women in the room. Situ Yushuang gently took off her coat for Sophia, who was still crying. After a while, Sophia, who gradually calmed down, sat on a comfortable recliner and said, "Sister, if there is something wrong with you, just cry it out first." , you will get sick if you hold it in your heart.”

"Thank you, sister. I'm fine now. I just felt something in my heart and couldn't control myself for a moment, but I'm much better now." The slightly red and swollen eyes did not damage Sophia's charming appearance at all, adding a touch of pitiful charm.

"Okay, now that you are here with sister, you can rest peacefully. Sister is here for everything." Although Situ Yushuang is not much older than Sophia, she has lived in the imperial court since she was a child, and the political struggle between her father and brother It made him appear much more mature than Sophia, who rarely experienced intrigues.

"Sister, I don't want to rest for a while. I am like a deaf and blind man on the road. I have no idea what the current situation is in my own country or how things happened. I don't dare to inquire carefully for fear of being caught. People have discovered my identity. Tell me, what is the Kingdom of Jemelo like now?" Although she was exhausted physically and mentally, the pride in her bones still supported Sophia.

Sighing softly, Si Xingxing Yushuang felt a little embarrassed. She was worried that if she told Sophia the true situation, it would break her heart. She was worried that she would not be able to bear the blow, but if she didn't tell her, seeing how she was now He definitely won't take a rest.

Sophia also saw some clues in Situ Yushuang's face. She gritted her teeth and tried to calm down her emotions, "Sister, just tell me, I can bear it. I am no longer what you thought." Vulnerable.”

Seeing that Sophia was very resolute, Situ Yushuang had no choice but to sort out his thoughts and tell her the story of the fall of the Kingdom of Jemelo in detail. Situ Yushuang had personally gone to the Imperial Intelligence Department to verify and understand these things, which was quite detailed.
