Xu Haifeng also knew that it wasn't the right time, as the sky had gradually brightened and the large group of people were waiting to depart in formation. If the two of them still didn't appear, they would soon arouse suspicion.

  He restrained his lustful heart, but a pair of big hands still wouldn't let go of this rare opportunity, constantly wandering over her body, and actually took advantage of the situation to cop a feel.

  Tang Rou'er's face grew redder and redder, her breathing heavier and heavier, until she finally sobbed: "Big brother, if you don't stop, I really won't be able to bear it."

  Xu Haifeng was startled, stopped what he was doing, and saw that her eyes were slightly red, as if she had been crying. He felt a great pain in his heart and slowed down his voice to say: "Rou'er don't cry, it's my fault."

  His tongue was as smooth as a lotus flower, his words were like pearls, he used all his tricks to coax her into tears of laughter. Just now he let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself that if he hadn't followed Jiang Kongming and learned many clever phrases, today would have been really hard to get through.

  "Good gentle one, tonight when we set up camp, will you come to my military tent?" Xu Haifeng asked in a low voice.

  Tang Rou'er thought he was going to continue being naughty, and she blushed and turned her face away, not daring to look at him.

  Xu Haifeng knew she had misunderstood and hastily explained: "Rou'er, there is someone else in my tent. I want to introduce you two."

  Tang Rou'er immediately thought of the intense voice from last night, and suddenly understood. When Xu Haifeng took Mei to attend the Fang family banquet, she had also seen Lin Wanxian's unparalleled beauty and temperament, which was in no way inferior to her own. A wave of inexplicable gloom rose up in her heart, and she asked softly: "Is it Miss Lin?"

  Xu Haifeng wasn't surprised that she knew Lin Wanwan's name. If they didn't even have this ability, the Tang family would have been expelled from the four major families long ago. He gently stroked her hair and said, "That's right, your sister Lin wants to see you."

  Tang Rou'er's body trembled slightly, and for the first time, she actively raised her head, gazing into Xu Haifeng's eyes and asked: "Big brother, do you want me to call her sister?"

  Xu Haifeng nodded and said: "Yes, she is older than you by several months, so of course you should call her sister."

  Tang Rou'er's small mouth opened and closed, finally letting out a sigh, saying: "The first to enter is the greatest, with her identity as the Princess of Fan Guo, I can call her sister without disgracing myself. Alright, big brother, I agree with you, at that time I will call her sister."

  Xu Haifeng was confused and wondered how calling someone "sister" could be related to social status.

  However, at this time the loud horn that represented the gathering of the army had already sounded, and he could only hastily bid farewell to Tang Rou'er and rush to the main camp.

  Xu Haifeng led the Black Flag Army, who were refreshed after a night's rest, on the road. In contrast, the Imperial Guards were listless and dispirited. Fortunately, the 200 Imperial Guards were all cavalry units, while the Black Flag Army had over 2,000 infantrymen in addition to the 500 cavalrymen, and they also carried all the baggage, so they didn't fall behind.

  Originally, apart from the commanders, all of the Black Flag Army were infantrymen, but this time, Fang Lian Tian specially arranged for 500 fine horses to be deployed in the army department for him. As a result, 500 soldiers were able to exchange their bird guns for cannons and transform from small-time foot soldiers into proud cavalrymen in the army.

  Of course, among these five hundred people, except for the fifty-two people of the heterodox group and the one hundred and twenty-two people of the Imperial Guard, most of the others who got horses were Huns. These Huns are indeed worthy of being called a nation on horseback. Once they get on their horses, they immediately become like fish in water, and the exquisite riding skills they show make the imperial army officers envy them.

  Seeing the more than 2,000 infantrymen of the Black Flag Army following behind the horses, forming neat and tidy queues as they ran, both Liu Junshu, who was well-versed in battle formations, and Su Chunwei, who was a master of literary elegance, looked on with admiration.

  These infantrymen, in the space of three days, carried packs weighing one-third of their own body weight, running over a hundred miles each day, like a group of tireless machines, without a single straggler or complaint.

  But most importantly, these soldiers had been on a long march for days and yet showed no signs of fatigue. This could be seen from their spirited appearance. With such military discipline and demeanor, how could they not be deeply impressed?

  Liu Jun's intensified training of his own imperial guards was also aimed at creating an iron army that could compare with the Black Flag Army. However, this wish of his may be impossible to fulfill in this lifetime.

  At noon, Xu Haifeng stole a chance and came into Lin Yuexian's carriage.

  This large carriage is extremely spacious, it's like a small movable house, divided into two compartments, made by the skilled craftsmen of the Great Han Empire, and its interior decoration is also luxurious and comfortable. It is an essential tool for officials and nobles to travel long distances.

  In the entire team, there were only two such large vehicles. One was naturally the mobile palace of Princess Gong, and the other was occupied by Xu Haifeng under false pretenses, with the purpose of pleasing Lin Wanxian, this beautiful and charming woman.

  Last night, under Xu Haifeng's deliberate care, Lin Wanting only slowly woke up at this moment.

  After getting on the carriage, Xu Haifeng sent Wanling and Yanling to the outer room. Only then did he come before Lin Wanyan with a smile: "Wanyan, are you feeling better?"

  Lin Wanxian gave him a half-true, half-false angry glance and said: "What were you crazy about last night? You used so much force, did you take the wrong medicine? Don't touch me today."

  Xu Haifeng hesitated and nodded slightly, waiting for her to smile before carefully saying: "Wan'er, how about I invite Miss Tang here for dinner tonight?"

  Lin Wanwan turned her head and looked at him with a gaze that made his heart skip a beat, before asking: "Which Miss Tang are you referring to?"

  "It was Miss Tang Rou'er at the Fang Manor banquet..." Xǔ Hǎi Fēng immediately replied.

  "Tan Rou'er..." Lin Wanxian naturally couldn't forget this beauty, who although they had only met once, was the only one whose looks and temperament were on par with her own.

  Xu Haifeng's face showed no joy or worry, but her heart was tense, and she couldn't help but mutter: "Didn't you agree last night?"

  Lin Wanxian was taken aback and couldn't recall when she had agreed to this, so she asked: "When did I ever agree to this?"

  Xu Haifeng's eyes darted outward for a moment, making sure the two little girls weren't eavesdropping, before he leaned in and whispered into her small ear: "Last night after we finished our business, didn't I ask you about it? You agreed, didn't you?"

  Lin Wanwan's eyes widened, and she finally understood why Xu Haifeng was so enthusiastic last night. She was furious, her face flushed with anger, and shouted: "Fine, your heart is getting more and more sinister, then go find your Ruo'er sister, don't bother with me anymore."

  Xu Haifeng was shocked, he was originally a sentimental person, and after being with Lin Wanting for several months, his deep affection was unmatched by others. He only felt a sharp pain in his heart and blurted out: "Since you don't want to, I'll return her then."

  Lin Wanxian gazed at Xu Haifeng's eyes, as if to discern whether his words were sincere. Xu Haifeng did not evade her gaze either, facing her calmly, although he could not hide a hint of pain, but the determination in his eyes was unmistakable.

  Lin Wanwan's heart skipped a beat as she knew that although he couldn't resist the temptation of beautiful women, at least in his heart, he still put himself first.

  She let out a deep sigh and said helplessly, "I knew this day would come, I just didn't think it would come so soon." She had some regrets in her heart, knowing that she couldn't handle his ferocity alone, why hadn't she let him take the two spirits into the house earlier? Now, a rival had appeared, and one who was not inferior to herself.

  Xu Haifeng grasped her hand and swore to the heavens: "Wan'er, don't worry, I'll go back on my word to Miss Tang right now, and never mention this matter again."

  "Ah, husband, from the day I decided to follow you, I knew that there was no woman in this world who could be as heroic as you. Neither can I, nor can Miss Tang. So, please don't worry. Tonight, I'll personally cook and prepare wine and dishes. Please invite Miss Tang over."

  Xu Haifeng saw her change was so great, he couldn't help but be puzzled, carefully sizing her up, afraid that she was just pretending to be difficult, intentionally speaking out to test himself.

  Lin Wanxian saw him staring at her with a puzzled face, sat up and took the initiative to hold his big hand, smiling and scolding: "My husband, when did your courage become so small again? Don't worry, I won't let you down."

  Xu Haifeng's gaze fell unscrupulously on her chest, where the slightly open sleepwear revealed a deep cleavage, and on the large expanse of snowy skin, there were still several bruises.

  He knew, of course, whose masterpiece this was. He swallowed hard, and one hand naturally rose to her small waist, wandering over the flat stomach that had no extra fat. Standing up, he walked to the bedside, wanting to press her down on the bed again.

  Lin Wanxian pushed him away with a hint of annoyance, saying softly: "Husband, don't be naughty, I still need to get ready. Tonight, you'll see Ruo'er's sister, and if you don't let go, I'll regret it."

  Xu Haifeng was startled and reluctantly withdrew his large hand.

  "Wanling, see your uncle off." Lin Wanxian gave him a white eye, and even she herself couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or relief.

  After getting off the mobile house, Xu Haifeng felt a sense of relief and wanted to sing a song to express his excitement. However, before he could make a sound, a gloomy voice came from behind him: "The master is in high spirits."

  Xu Haifeng was shocked and turned his head back, only to find Jiang Kongming pinching his nose and greeting him in a mysterious and eerie tone.

  "What the hell are you doing now?" Xǔ Hǎifēng cursed, just now almost scared to death, all good mood seemed to have grown wings and flown away.

  Jiang Kung-ming bowed politely and asked: "I have come as a student to ask about the progress of your plans, sir?"

  Xu Haifeng was annoyed by his eccentric behavior, but still sincerely gave a thumbs up and said: "The military strategist is as wise as a god, unparalleled in the world."

  Jiang Gongming burst out laughing and said: "Since that's the case, then it's all good. The student will take his leave now, but please remember, Master, don't blame the student in the future."

  Xu Haifeng nodded and replied: "That's natural, I also want to thank the military advisor."

  Jiang Kung-ming smiled slyly and nodded as he left, while Hsu Hai-feng felt that something was definitely not right, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't figure it out.
