Chapter 123: The Black Armor Army

  The next day, Mufeng was woken up early by Muhanqing and went to the Nanqiying Camp outside the south gate of Mucheng to visit his father.

  Mu Hanqing's father was a middle-aged bald man who appeared at the coming-of-age ceremony, also known as Mu Chengzhong, the commander of the Mu clan's Black Armor Army.

  After the coming-of-age ceremony, Mu Chengzhong led the Black Armor Army's South Banner Camp to go on an expedition and was always outside.

  As for what to do, Mufeng also has some hearsay. In the lower jurisdiction of the Mushi clan, there is a force in the southwest called Hei Ya Zhai, which is dissatisfied with the Mushi clan and sets up its own mountain stronghold.

  Other forces in the southwest followed suit, and the Mu clan sent Mu Chengzhong to lead troops to annihilate all the rebels.

  However, the southwest was mostly mountainous and valley terrain, with complex geography. Even Mu Chengzhong, who was brave and good at fighting, took more than a year to thoroughly eliminate Hei Ya Fortress and re-subjugate the remaining forces in the southwest.

  Mo Feng had learned from Mo Chengzhi that the Black Armor Army was divided into four battalions: the East Banner Battalion, South Banner Battalion, West Banner Battalion and North Banner Battalion. The four battalions were generally stationed outside the east, south, west and north gates of Mocheng City. Each battalion had 10,000 men, totaling 40,000 men.

  Don't look down on the Black Armor Army just because of their small numbers, but every single one of them is a master above the Qi Refining stage. Forty thousand masters above the Qi Refining stage, thinking about it sends shivers down your spine.

  The Black Armor Army is also the main force of the Mu clan, and it plays a crucial role in the struggle against the other three major forces. The commander of the Black Armor Army has always been one of the core powers of the Mu clan's highest authority.

  The four major forces of Tianfeng County are vying with each other, and joining the Black Armor Army is the best way to accumulate military achievements, as well as the fastest way to enter the core of family power. Mu Chengzhong has already been designated as the next Minister of the Cabinet, precisely because of his outstanding military achievements over the years.

  Upon arriving near the south gate of Mocheng, Mofeng and Mohan immediately saw a massive military camp appear before their eyes. The soldiers in the camp were neatly dressed, spirited, and uniform, emitting an extremely strong martial aura and an atmosphere of stern killing intent that shocked people's hearts!

  A giant flag, dozens of feet high, flapped in the wind with a striking golden character "Mu". The flag was slightly worn and had bloodstains that sent shivers down one's spine. This flag accompanied the Southern Banner Camp on its eastern campaigns and western battles, standing unwaveringly, also becoming a symbol of the Southern Banner Camp.

  "It's really majestic and domineering!" Mu Feng couldn't help but exclaim, from the momentum displayed by the soldiers, the combat strength of Nan Qiying won't be weak at all.

  "Of course, and doesn't he know who the marshal is?" Mu Hanqing felt a little proud.

  The two arrived at the entrance of the military camp, and the two guards on the high platform at the entrance had already recognized them and did not block their way.

  As the two men walked towards the central tent, they were constantly greeted by soldiers who asked Mu Hanqing and Mu Feng for directions. However, there was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the soldiers, which also sparked a flurry of discussion among the surrounding Black Armor Army.

  "Isn't that Big Sister? Mo Feng is really something, even Big Sister can't handle him. I'm truly impressed."

  "Yes, young ladies are indeed capricious and unpredictable. It's hard for ordinary people to gain their favor! I wonder what means Mu Feng used?"

  Upon hearing the whispers of the crowd, Mu Han's icy gaze swept towards them, sending everyone scattering in all directions like frightened animals. If one were to fall into this young lady's hands, they would be guaranteed a fate worse than death.

  As they passed through the front camp, Mu Feng and Mu Han saw from afar a robust middle-aged man wearing golden armor, leading two men who were inspecting the entire camp. Having just moved their troops back, the entire Southern Banner Camp was busy setting up camp.

  Mo Feng recognized the middle-aged man as Mu Chengzhong, the commander of the Black Armor Army, who was also the bald-headed middle-aged man who presided over the coming-of-age ceremony that day.

  After the adult ceremony, when Mu Feng found out that Mu Chengzhong was actually Mu Hanqing's father, he broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered that during the family comparison, he had been "disrespectful" to Mu Hanqing, and Mu Chengzhong had been on stage at the time, afraid that Mu Yuanshuai would look for trouble with him, but fortunately, Mu Chengzhong hadn't taken the matter to heart.

  "Dad!" Mu Hanqing excitedly exclaimed, throwing herself into the middle-aged man's arms.

  Mo Feng hastily bowed to the middle-aged man: "General Mu!"

  Mu Chengzhong saw the two of them and was also in a good mood, stretching out his big hand to rub Mu Hanqing's little head, laughing and saying: "Qing'er, when Dad is not at home, have you been causing any trouble?"

  Muxia Qing seemed extremely displeased at being rubbed on the head by Old Man, dodging and complaining: "Dad, do I make you worry that much?"

  As his daughter grew older, Mu Chengzhong also knew that Mu Hancheng had become much more obedient and was no longer as worrisome as before. He smiled and said, "As long as you don't cause trouble, this is a gift from your father."

  Mù Chéng Zhōng took out a delicate hairpin from the Void Stone and handed it to Mù Hán Qīng.

  The hairpin is entirely emerald green, emitting a faint green glow, with a lifelike emerald phoenix carved on top. The phoenix's eyes are two small rubies. The entire hairpin exudes an exotic charm.

  "How beautiful!" Mu Han Qing's face showed a hint of surprise. Although she was not the biological daughter of Mu Cheng Zhong, Mu Cheng Zhong and his wife had treated her like a precious gem since childhood, doting on her excessively.

  "Father will put it on you." Mu Chengzhong said as he helped Mu Hanqing wear the hairpin.

  After Mu Chengzhong helped Mu Hancheng put on his hairpin, he turned his gaze to Mu Feng, who also sensed the strong aura emanating from Mu Feng's body.

  "Mo Feng, it's been a year since we last met, and your strength has actually improved to this extent. It's really not bad." Mo Cheng was also slightly surprised in his heart. Before he went on an expedition, Mo Feng had just entered the Hua Qi realm, but he didn't expect that in just over a year, the latter would reach the peak of the Hua Qi realm's small completion. This cultivation speed shocked him as well.

  "Thank you for the compliment, General." Murong Feng hastily replied.

  Mu Chengzhong nodded, he had always had a good impression of Mu Feng, although he didn't know why his daughter was with him, but based on his understanding of Mu Hanqing, his daughter must have fallen in love with the young man in front of her.

  "But even if you're stronger, don't you dare bully my daughter again, got it?" Mu Chengzhong's tone suddenly turned stern.

  "Dad, what are you talking about?" Mu Hanqing understood some of the meaning and her small face suddenly flushed with a rosy glow, saying in a soft voice.

  Although Mu Feng didn't say anything, in his heart he was secretly grumbling: As long as your daughter doesn't bully me, I wouldn't dare to bully her.

  "Qing'er, this is for your own good. His strength is greater than yours. If you two are together in the future and he bullies you, what will you do?" Mu Chengzhong's personality was straightforward, directly expressing his thoughts.

  Mu Hanqing was taken aback and said: "Dad, Qing'er didn't say she wanted to marry him."

  But the tone of speech was like a small family's jade, making the two people behind Mu Chengzhong look at each other in shock.

  The two had followed Mu Chengzhong for many years and had also been in contact with Mu Hansheng, but they had never seen their eldest sister so shy and embarrassed. However, this also shows that the young man in front of them really moved their eldest sister's heart.

  The two cast their eyes on Mu Feng, reevaluating this young man and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. Someone who could subdue their elder sister was no ordinary strong person.
