Xu Haifeng was startled by his sudden voice, and Jiang Kongming had rarely appeared in such a state of loss before.

  "General, are you alright?" Xu Haifeng asked cautiously with utmost concern.

  Jiang Kongming coughed, covering up his previous overreaction, then adjusted his robes and said: "The student suddenly remembered something just now. At this moment, we still can't afford to provoke the alliance of these three families."

  "Why?" Xu Haifeng was extremely surprised at Jiang Koming's sudden change of mind.

  In his heart, Jiang Kungming was almost synonymous with omnipotence. Since he expressed his intention to teach the Cheng family a lesson, he would certainly be able to accomplish his goal without making a sound.

  Not to mention the grudge between Lin Wanxian and the Cheng family, just the fact that the Cheng family colluded with Kaisar and Xiongnu is a heinous crime enough to destroy nine clans. Any Han person with even a little bit of blood would not let them off.

  Jiang Kung-ming would have fully supported taking action against the Cheng family, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind at the last minute.

  "Alas..." Jiang Gongming let out a long sigh, his face filled with regret. "After all, this is Xijing, not our Han family's territory. We must be cautious in every move we make. If we reveal even the slightest weakness, I fear no one will be able to return safely to Great Han."

  Xu Haifeng hesitated for a moment, and his eyes gradually showed determination. He gritted his teeth and said: "If I didn't know, it would be fine, but now that I know the three families are going to join forces against the Great Han, how can I just sit back and do nothing?"

  Jiang Kongming unexpectedly glanced at him, and through telepathy, he naturally knew that his words were not half-hearted or hypocritical. A hint of relief and complacency appeared in his eyes as he said, "So, milord, what do you plan to do?"

  "I will follow the military advisor's orders, as long as I can destroy this alliance of three families, even if it costs me my life." Xǔ Hǎifēng took a deep breath and solemnly made the promise.

  If it were a year ago, Xu Haifeng would have avoided this matter as much as possible. But after being influenced by Jiang Kongming for so long, his personality has gradually changed.

  Especially in the days leading up to the gladiatorial combat and afterwards, although he was inwardly weak, on the surface he perfectly presented a majestic and upright husband image.

  After the duel, people's attitude towards him changed dramatically, greatly satisfying his self-esteem.

  This surface phenomenon can affect a person's inner change through long-term maintenance.

  So he just made a decision that would sacrifice his life for the country despite knowing the danger of this matter.

  Since Jiang Kungming joined Xu Haifeng's team, he has been tirelessly guiding him to become a true heroic figure.

  Until today, in this truly critical moment, one can see that their actions have been effective, and Jiang Gongming is also extremely delighted.

  If Jiang Gongming wanted to ruin this matter, it would inevitably lead to a huge conflict with his own plan. So he rolled his eyes in a circle and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, already thinking deeply, saying: "Your Excellency is noble and just, I admire you extremely. But have you considered the several young ladies?"

  Xu Haifeng's face changed unpredictably upon hearing this, and Jiang Kongming was deeply impressed.

  He finally let out a deep breath and said: "Can't even someone with the talent of a military strategist come up with a plan to destroy the alliance between the three families without arousing suspicion?"

  Jiang Kongming's hand, which was shaking the feather fan, suddenly stopped, and he angrily said: "The three of them are together plotting against the Great Han. No matter what unexpected events occur on either side, it is obvious that someone from the Great Han is behind it. If you want to avoid suspicion, it would be simpler to just kill all three parties."

  Xu Haifeng smiled wryly and asked: "So there's really no way, then?"

  "There's nothing left." Jiang Kongming rolled his eyes and said, "If I were the master, the best solution would be to hurry back to Da Han and report the news to that old man Fang Lingtian. He is experienced and knowledgeable, and with his noble status, he should have a way to deal with it."

  Xu Haifeng nodded and said: "That's right, for now there is no other way. I will go see Su Chunwei immediately. In short, the sooner we set off the better."

  As he watched Xu Haifeng hastily leave, a complex expression appeared on Jiang Kongming's face. He muttered to himself: "Don't blame me, I'm not a person of this world, your life and death have nothing to do with me. Since I call myself Kongming, the one I should assist is the founding emperor. The Great Han has been established for hundreds of years, and there are three major families who are loyal and helpful. If there were no internal traitors, how could it be overthrown? Since the Cheng family is plotting against the country, even the heavens are helping me. Only when the world is in great chaos will my lord have a chance to rise. Without the baptism of blood and fire, how can one sit on this throne of ten thousand people?"

  He looked up at the sky, as if something above had caught his full attention, and muttered to himself: "Cheng family, Cheng family, don't let me down."

  Xu Haifeng suggested that they return to the Great Han as soon as possible, but Su Chunwei said that if they couldn't get to the bottom of Liu Ting's case, he would have no face to return home.

  Xu Haifeng was dumb and ate Huanglian, with a bitter taste that he couldn't express. Of course, he couldn't tell Su Chunwei that Liu Ting was now in the big camp of his Black Flag Army.

  But the other party spoke eloquently and reasonably, and Xu Haifeng was also helpless, so he could only return with a sullen face.

  He returned to his own house, Lin Wanting and Xia Yajun were chatting happily, seeing him return, they came up together.

  The three of them sat separately, and the two women exchanged a glance, both seeing the hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

  Xu Haifeng changed his expression from two days ago, furrowing his brow and looking deeply concerned.

  "Is there something troubling you?" Lin Wanxiang gently consoled, "Why not speak out, perhaps I can help share your worries."

  Xu Haifeng sighed bitterly, how could he possibly explain this to them, let alone that there was no evidence for it. If someone asked him how he knew, could he say it was due to Jiang Kongming's special ability?

  He shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, I don't want to think about these annoying things anymore." After finishing speaking, he sat heavily on the chair and said fiercely, "It's all because of that bastard Thor."

  He was so resentful of Tuohe Di, naturally there was a reason for it. If Tuohe wasn't vouching for Auben, he could still make a big deal out of the strange disappearance of Little Princess Liu Ting. If he provoked the two great masters into a life-and-death battle, then the alliance between the three families would collapse on its own.

  "What's wrong?" Xia Yajun asked in surprise: "How did this famous Hunnu First Master also provoke Big Brother?"

  "What's the first grandmaster? I think it's more like the first evil technique master." Xǔ Hǎifēng sneered.

  Xia Yajun blinked her long eyelashes, feeling a hint of amusement for no reason, and Xu Haifeng's angry appearance at this moment had a few innocent and childlike qualities.

  She looked at Lin Wanxian, who was also smiling and gazing at him with a hint of tender affection in her eyes.

  "What's this supposed to mean?" Xia Yajun asked with a smile.

  Because both of them knew that Liu Ting was the one he had saved, Xu Haifeng did not hide it from them and told them in detail about meeting Bao Yueying, of course, there were some things that he didn't mention.

  Finally, he angrily exclaimed: "If it weren't for the fact that this wicked person, Tudor, has bewitched everyone's minds to vouch for Aubrey, I'm afraid Caesar and the Huns would have started fighting by now. Tell me, isn't this man detestable?"

  Xia Yajun listened and seemed to be thinking, after a moment, she raised her head and said softly: "Big brother, Tuo Heti is a talented person, he reached the pinnacle of martial arts ten years ago and entered the realm of the grandmaster."

  Xu Haifeng didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this matter, but still responded: "This is not a secret either, I've known about it for a long time."

  "It's said that once one enters the realm of a Grandmaster, the main direction of their cultivation is the mysterious and elusive spiritual world, where all sorts of extraordinary abilities become possible. Since Torre Hotti became a Grandmaster ten years ago, he must have his own unique understanding of the spiritual world, so it's not surprising that he can sense whether someone is lying or not." Xia Yajun explained in detail.

  "Ah..." Xu Haifeng fell silent, listening to her words filled him with a strong desire for the Zongshi realm. He made up his mind that he would study hard and practice diligently, striving to enter the highest hall of martial arts in his lifetime.

  "Ah...... Lord Husband, Ya Jun sister has another matter to discuss with you." Lin Wanxian was not interested in what they were talking about and spoke up after listening to their conversation for a while.

  Turning his gaze to Xia Yajun, Xu Haifeng asked: "Yajun, what's wrong?"

  Xia Yajun smiled slightly, and her stunning appearance made Xu Haifeng dazed for a moment: "Little sister wants to ask big brother to allow the four maids of qin, qi, shu, and hua to enter my Xingzongmen."

  Xu Haifeng had heard Tang Rou'er mention that Xia Yajun was also from a branch of the Demon Gate, so it wasn't surprising: "Letting them join the Demon Sect isn't difficult, but why do you want to do this?"

  "Our Star Sect has a special skill called 'Tong Xin Jue', which requires practitioners to be twin brothers or sisters. Not only are the four girls twins, but they also have a good bone structure for martial arts practice. If they can cultivate this skill, their future achievements will be boundless."

  Xu Haifeng knew that this matter was a rare opportunity for the four women, so he didn't even think about it and immediately took charge of Liu Ting's affairs and agreed to it.

  Xia Yajun called the four women over and accepted them as disciples of the Xingzong sect on the spot, then took them away to transmit her skills. Seeing how enthusiastic she was about this matter, it's clear that this skill is like the Jingxin Jue, both are extremely rare and difficult to find someone to pass it down to.
