Chapter Eighty-two: The Northern Great Camp

  A large group of people were still several miles away from the main camp when suddenly a loud sound of horseshoes came from the front, and dozens of iron cavalrymen rushed towards the main force like flying.

  After receiving the news, Xu Haifeng led Zhebie and others to the front of the team, only to find that Su Chunwei and Liu Junshu had already arrived.

  He nodded and greeted them, and Xu Haifeng casually asked, "Who is that person?"

  "General Hui, the leader is General Directional Miao." Zhebie raised his head and glanced at him, answering.

  Su Chunwei and Liu Junshu looked at Zhebie together, with a look of incredulity on their faces. Those few riders were fast, but they were still at least a thousand meters away from here. They strained their eyes, but could only see a few small black dots.

  But Zhe Bie just took a casual glance, and he could see the other person's appearance clearly. If he wasn't talking nonsense, then his eyesight had already reached an unbelievable level.

  Xu Haifeng was overjoyed when he heard the news, for he and Fangxiang Ming had hit it off immediately after meeting. Although they were not biological brothers, in Xu Haifeng's opinion, Fangxiang Ming understood him better than his own brother Xu Haitian. It had been several months since they parted ways in Lin'an, and Xu Haifeng had truly missed him.

  "Drive......" Xu Haifeng was overjoyed and whipped his horse to rush out of the team, heading towards those few riders.

  As the commander of the Black Flag Army, this move was not trivial and immediately triggered a chain reaction. First, Xu Haiming and Lin Changkong pursued relentlessly, and then without waiting for orders, 500 cavalrymen from the Black Flag Army charged out, leaving only more than 50 members of the special ability team guarding Jiang Kongming's side.

  Xu Haifeng's riding skills were nothing special, but those four remaining riders were all excellent horsemen who had grown up on horseback. They formed a line that seemed like scattered sand, but was actually the most suitable formation for cavalry battles. The hundreds of horses moved quickly and slowly, some scattering far away, just like wrapping dumplings, they surrounded the dozens of riders without leaving any trace.

  Fang Ming had received the news early and knew that the one leading the Black Flag Army to the Northern Camp today would be his good brother Xu Haifeng, so he took the initiative to lead the team to welcome them early in the morning.

  But unexpectedly, the reaction of the team in front was so strange. He saw the way hundreds of riders were running, and his heart was tight. This was clearly the battle formation of the Xiongnu cavalry, the archenemy of the Great Han Empire, when they encountered an enemy.

  The Xiongnu people were a grassland nation, and the Xiongnu cavalry was also gathered from various tribes on the vast grasslands. Only they could form such a loose formation, but it was this seemingly harmless formation that made the Xiongnu people's reputation as invincible in the world.

  The great Han Empire had never thought of using the same combat formation to deal with them, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not do it. On the contrary, the dense column formation fought with much smaller losses. This is nature, the nature of a nation, and no one can solve it.

  Seeing several riders scattered far away rushing towards their rear, it was clear that they wanted to cut off their retreat route. Directional bird made a defensive gesture backwards and then shouted loudly: "Who is in front, this official is..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when someone interrupted him loudly: "Big brother, it's me Hai Feng."

  Xiang Ming was overjoyed and hurriedly went to meet him on horseback, shouting: "Good brother, I've missed you so much!"

  The two horses galloped quickly to a place at the same time, and they saw the joy and excitement on each other's face. They looked at each other, laughed heartily, and their four palms were tightly clasped together.

  "Big brother, I'm here."

  "Yes, I've been waiting with bated breath too."

  The two of them were emotionally stirred up, although they had a thousand words to say, but for the moment, they didn't know what to say.

  "General Fang, it's been a long time."

  At this time, Su Chunwei and Liu Junshu arrived simultaneously. They were not unfamiliar with Fang Xiangming, so they immediately went forward to pay their respects.

  "Su Shilang, Liu Jiangjun, it's been years since we last parted, how have you all been?" Seeing old friends he hadn't seen in many years, Fang Xiang felt a surge of emotions.

  "In the capital, it's just a matter of passing the days, but nowhere can compare to your great victory over Caesar, and the prestige of General Pingxi spreading far and wide in the capital." Liu Junshu laughed and praised.

  "Never mind, it's all thanks to this brother of mine. If you want to praise someone, praise him instead." Fang Ming pointed at Xu Haifeng and laughed.

  Xu Haifeng was about to decline, but Su Chunwei took a step ahead and said: "Generals, the princess is tired from her journey. Let's head to the Northern Great Camp first and get everything settled before we catch up."

  The direction of the sound suddenly woke up, and hurriedly said: "That's right, the princess's sedan chair is the most important. My uncle has prepared a wine table in the big camp to entertain everyone, please..."

  Under his leadership, the crowd quickly entered the northern camp. Xu Haifeng carefully measured that this great Han Dynasty's first-class camp was indeed famous for its name, and most of the soldiers in the camp were veterans who had been through many battles. Just by looking at their regularity and neat military appearance, it can be known that the person leading the army must have strict laws and regulations, not ordinary.

  They soon saw the commander of the Red Ocean Gun Riders, Fang Lianchen, the third master of the Fang family. This old man looked similar to his two older brothers, but he was even more spirited and majestic. Although his face was weathered, his voice was like a bell, and his drinking capacity was generous. His eagle eyes were even more captivating, showing that this old man's wisdom was not inferior to his brothers.

  Fang Lingchen personally came out of the camp to welcome the princess's sedan chair, and held a grand banquet in the camp to welcome them. Liu Ting only made a brief appearance, and soon excused herself on the grounds of feeling unwell, leaving her seat.

  Fang Lingchen and the other generals knew that her mood was not good, thinking of her lonely days in the future, they all felt uncomfortable. Although this time it was nominally a marriage alliance, everyone knew that the Han court was afraid of the Xiongnu's tyranny and had no choice but to let the princess marry. The people present were mostly straightforward military men, who couldn't help but feel ashamed at this moment, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became cold.

  Xu Haifeng took a look at the situation and quickly retreated. Fang Lichen sighed, ordered the withdrawal of the wine table. This banquet was so short that it set a new record in the northern camp.

  Seizing an opportunity, Xu Haifeng pulled the direction to a deserted place and said in a low voice: "Big brother, do you know that this time it's not just Princess Ting who came with us."

  Fang Xing said disdainfully: "Of course I know that, is it necessary for you to say this?"

  Xu Haifeng asked in surprise: "You know, how did you know?"

  "Hmm..." Fang Ming gave a loud pat on Xu Haifeng's shoulder, but saw that his body didn't move at all, as if he hadn't noticed. He couldn't help but praise: "I knew Brother Xian wasn't an ordinary person. In just a few short months, you've actually managed to cultivate your kung fu to the second-grade boundary! It's truly unbelievable. As for me, it took a full thirty years of practice to reach this level."

  Xu Haifeng's face revealed a smile, this was the thing that made him most proud, being able to become a top-notch master in such a short period of time, he was absolutely the first person in history, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

  "The military department has already arrived, and Xia Yajun, one of the four golden flowers of the capital, also followed the team to Xiongnu to perform for Modu Chanyu's birthday. We have long been thinking of inviting her to play a song for us here, to satisfy our ears." Fang Ming's expression was quite yearning, and he was obviously also one of her die-hard fans.

  Xu Haifeng was taken aback, and suddenly he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. It turned out that Fang Ming's finger was actually pointing at Xia Yajun. This was truly a case of "the cow's head doesn't match the horse's mouth". He said annoyedly: "Wrong, completely wrong."

  Fang Xiang looked at him in surprise and asked strangely: "What's wrong, didn't Xia Ya Jun come with you?"

  "Xia Yajun has indeed arrived, but she is not the only one among the four golden flowers in the capital."

  "That's natural, Little Princess is young but also one of them." Feng Ming nodded and said.

  Xu Haifeng chuckled twice and said: "But it's not just these two golden flowers that have come."

  A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, and his face gradually changed color. In an uncertain tone, he asked: "Is it Yingying?"

  Xu Haifeng clapped his hands and said, "Big brother is indeed clever, he guessed it right on the first try."

  Fēng Míng's face turned increasingly unsightly, and he asked: "How did Little Sister end up in your army?"

  "She and Miss Tang Rou'er said they would accompany the little princess to Xiongnu." explained Xi Hai Feng.

  "How can that be?" Dongfang Ming shouted out loud.

  "It was, they were sneaking around until the fourth day before letting us know. By then it was too late to turn back, so we decided to bring them to the Northern Camp for you to handle." Thinking that he could finally get rid of this hot potato, Xu Haifeng let out a huge sigh of relief.

  "Tang Rou'er? She's also here, this is... a complete mess." Fang Ming sighed: "It turns out that the four golden flowers are all together. Heaven, what kind of world is this?"

  Seeing the direction of the worried and bitter face, Xu Haifeng deeply sympathized, but could not help.

  "Let's go, we'll ask Third Uncle about this. I'm not sure what to do with this matter." Fang Ming thought for a moment and finally decided that if he could push it off, then he would push it off. After all, the one in charge here wasn't him, so why bother worrying about it.

  With the news that Xu Haifeng and Tang Er will follow the army, inform Fang Lingchen. He saw his face set in a stern expression, heavily slapping the table with one palm, angrily saying: "Nonsense, this is truly nonsense! How can they go to Xiongnu? Xiang Ming, what kind of elder brother are you?"

  Fang Ming's face was full of grievances, thinking to himself: "You have the ability to go find that little girl and scold her, what's the point of scolding me?"

  Xu Haifeng saw the old man's majestic and awe-inspiring demeanor, and secretly admired him. It was said that among the three elders of the Fang family, this person was the most severe and stubborn. The younger generation of the Fang family also feared him the most, and when they saw his face, they would become speechless like a cicada in winter. Perhaps only he could tame the unruly and arrogant young mistress of the Fang family.
