Chapter 142: Rivers and Mountains

  "Drive..."

  With a loud whoop, a swift horse came galloping from afar like lightning.

  At first glance, the horse was still 100 meters away, but in an instant, it had already arrived in front of you, making people wonder if they had seen a mirage.

  Xu Haifeng rode the growing Blood Wine Warhorse named "Dark Cloud" around the periphery of the troops, its speed getting faster and faster, as if it was about to break through the wind.

  After this period of observation, it was proven that Jiang Kongming's inference was indeed correct. Even among the horses, there existed a rare growth-type existence.

  Wuyun's specialty is speed. If he lets loose and runs, even the shooting speed of a bow and arrow will be inferior to his.

  Perhaps in the world, only Tianya's Heavenly Bow could threaten this peerless and unmatched swift horse.

  In broad daylight, Xu Haifeng didn't dare to show off excessively, occasionally pulling in the reins, otherwise, with Wu Yun's true strength, he would have long since run away without a trace.

  "Is there really such a divine horse in the world? It's truly unbelievable." Su Chunwei was stunned, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was a horse that could run so fast.

  "Yes, if I had a horse like that too..." Zhi Man said with envy from the side.

  "Alright, didn't you try riding yesterday? I don't know who was thrown off by a horse three times in a row."

  The speaker was Tang Jia's young generation elite, Tang Qili. After seeing the horse yesterday, Fang Zhixian was delighted and proposed to ride it once, and Xu Haifeng agreed happily.

  However, this horse was as fierce as fire and did not allow others to ride it. Fang Zhongyi was thrown off three times by the horse and fell with a swollen face and nose. He had no choice but to give up reluctantly.

  Xu Haifeng left the capital on the third day after his wedding. Their destination was Lin'an City, which was the fief of Xu Haifeng and Fang Xiangming.

  There were three representatives of the big families, namely Su Chunwei, the eldest son and grandson of the Su family, Fang Xiangzhi, the eldest son of Fang Lide, and Tang Qili, the most outstanding male member of the Tang family in this generation.

  Apart from them and their closest relatives, there were also the wife and children of Zongbing who followed the army.

  Of course this is just a superficial candidate.

  In secret, half of the precious antiques accumulated by the three major families over hundreds of years were also among the spoils of war carried by the Black Flag Army.

  If Xu Haifeng suddenly had a wicked heart and swallowed up this batch of goods, he would immediately become the richest man in the world.

  If the goods escorted by the Black Flag Army are worth a city, then the more than 100 people heavily guarded by Chiang Kung-ming's three layers inside and three layers outside are even more rare treasures in this world.

  They were more than half of the skilled craftsmen in Su's family led by Su Chunwei.

  When Jiang Kungming learned that Su Chunwei was going to lead this group of unparalleled top-notch people, he immediately lit up his eyes and lost his demeanor, making Xu Haifeng, who was standing beside him, feel extremely embarrassed.

  As a result, the safety level of the Black Flag Army, which was planned by General Chiang's military strategist, made another subtle adjustment.

  Fortunately, all of this is unknown to others. Otherwise, if Su Chunwei and the like were to find out that their own security clearance was not even as high as that of the craftsmen under them, they would hardly give up easily.

  Of course, when they left Beijing, it was under the pretext of assisting Xu Haifeng in defending Lin'an.

  It's just that so many valuable items were carried and the personnel were so well-equipped. Anyone who knows the inside story, unless they're an idiot, would know that this matter absolutely wouldn't be so simple.

  So, when Xu Haifeng left Beijing, he was extremely low-key and only announced to the outside world that he had brought some property and attendants. If the list of this trip were made public, it would probably cause a huge stir immediately.

  This matter could not be hidden from Emperor Xian of Han, but after the emperor received the news, he merely sighed and did not pursue the matter further.

  The three major families did this, obviously just to reserve a way out for their family. With Emperor Han Xian's astuteness, how could he turn against them at such a critical moment?

  It is also unknown whether the three owners had any instructions when they left. In short, they were completely obedient to Xu Haifeng's opinions and never contradicted him. However, Xu Haifeng felt their inner unease and sadness, guessing that they already knew that the prospects of the Great Han were not optimistic.

  Xu Haifeng suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, turning his head to gaze into the distance, as if he had discovered something.

  Qianying flashed, and Xia Yajun's figure appeared beside him.

  "Sir, did you feel it too?"

  Xu Haifeng smiled and said: "Yes, with such a strong and majestic aura, such a great momentum, if you can't feel it, then there's something wrong."

  Xia Yajun covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "This old man still has such a big temper."

  "Do you know who he is?" Xu Haifeng asked in surprise.

  Xia Yajun lightly glanced at him: "Husband, can't you guess?"

  Xu Haifeng suddenly lost his smile and said, "Ya Jun, the military strategist once said that people living in the world are nothing more than eating, dressing, urinating, and defecating. If we don't add some humor to it, wouldn't life be too dull?"

  Xia Yajun's eyes lit up and she sighed: "Military strategist, you are indeed a scholar of heaven and man. This sentence is truly piercing to the heart."

  "What brings him here?"

  Xia Yajun shook her head and said, "I don't know, but this old man only has an overbearing air, without any murderous intent, so he shouldn't be a threat."

  "Since he's here, let's go meet this Master Cheng." Xuhai Feng nodded and smiled.

  "Yes, Ya Jun should accompany you."

  Xu Haifeng stretched out his hand and pulled, and Xia Yajun borrowed strength to jump onto the dark cloud.

  The black cloud restlessly stamped its feet, but dared not be presumptuous as the master was on horseback.

  "Drive..."

  With Xu Haifeng's command, the dark clouds galloped away and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

  Outside a small hill several miles away, Cheng Xuanfeng stood in a white robe, facing the wind, as if he were an immortal.

  Two people arrived at the slope, simultaneously jumping off their horses. Xu Haifeng patted the horse's neck and Wuyun turned around and ran far away.

  "Good steed, quick and swift! Nephew, you truly have a deep and profound fortune!"

  "Thank you for the compliment." Xu Haifeng smiled and turned his head to call out: "Wuyun, pay your respects to Old Man Cheng."

  The dark cloud let out a loud sneeze, reluctantly bending its two front hooves towards the ground, but before they even touched the ground, it sprang up and retreated several steps. This perfunctory attitude was extremely laughable.

  Cheng Xuanfeng's face showed an unbelievable expression of surprise, saying: "There is actually such a spiritual horse in the world, I have truly broadened my horizons."

  It wasn't until then that Xu Haifeng secretly let out a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance with Xia Yajun, suddenly feeling his confidence surge.

  As soon as the two of them climbed up this small hill, they were within the range of Cheng Xuanfeng's omnipresent spiritual energy field.

  Xu Haifeng's cultivation was insufficient, while Xia Yajun had just stepped into the realm of the sect master and had not yet been able to integrate and comprehend, so naturally he could not match him.

  Thus, Xu Haifeng deliberately showed off the spiritual side of Wuyun, and indeed made Cheng Xuanfeng exclaim in surprise, that powerful mental field was weakened a bit at once.

  Under the circumstances of one thing prospering at the expense of another, Xu and Xia's cooperation could barely remain unaffected.

  "Alas..." Cheng Xuanfeng sighed, his majestic and boundless aura vanishing into thin air. The world was quiet once more, as if it had been that way since the dawn of creation when Pangu separated the heavens from the earth.

  Xu and Xia suddenly felt the pressure around them disappear, and their own energy couldn't sense each other's spiritual changes.

  It's no wonder that he can be listed as one of the three great masters.

  "Elder brother has summoned me, I don't know what instructions there are." Xu Haifeng asked with a bow.

  Although he didn't have a very good impression of Cheng's family, when facing Cheng Xuanfeng, Xu Haifeng couldn't generate even the slightest malicious intent.

  "I originally wanted to advise the two of you to change your allegiance and join my Cheng family, but now that I've seen you today..." He shook his head and sighed, "Never mind."

  Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and said, "I've let you down."

  "Two people, a perfect match, the pride of their generation. Our great Han dynasty has successors, I'm overjoyed and haven't even had time to feel disappointed yet!" Cheng Xuanfeng looked at Xia Yajun, giving her a thumbs up: "Niece, you're amazing! The Star Sect's lineage can finally rise to prominence!"

  He could naturally see that Xia Yajun had already set foot in the realm of the ancestors, only that the time was still short.

  "Thank you for your kind words, elder. I'm just a lucky girl."

  "Lucky? Haha, which grandmaster in the world isn't relying on a moment of sudden enlightenment to luckily set foot into this colorful spiritual world? My niece is so young yet has achieved such accomplishments, truly unprecedented."

  Xu and Xia exchanged a glance, their two hands clasped together, warm smiles spreading across their faces.

  Cheng Xuanfeng burst out laughing and left, saying as he walked away: "Next time we meet, it's either enemy or friend. Take care of yourself, little friend."

  Xu Haifeng loudly replied from behind: "The demeanor of a senior is indeed different. Xu will remember it well."

  One day later, Cheng Xuanfeng returned to the capital.

  The old general asked why he didn't take their lives, and Cheng Xuanfeng replied: "If they weren't such heroic figures, how could they resist the Roman army's national catastrophe? They need time, and so do we."

  The ancient path is suddenly enlightened, and I admire its outstanding wisdom and foresight with all my heart.

  Xu and Xia watched as Cheng Xuanfeng departed on a black cloud, and they returned in silence, never mentioning the matter again.

  When they passed through Xujia Village, because all members of the Xu family, including Father Xu, were taken to Lin'an by Fang Yunying. So they only stayed for one night and set off again.

  Arriving at a hundred miles outside Lin'an City, Xu Haifeng gazed out at the lush fields and beautiful scenery, suddenly loudly chanting:

  *,

  Countless heroes bow their heads in defeat

  Many people have been affected by the storm.

  "Also see this morning."

  Su Chunwei and the other two people's faces changed color at the same time, they looked at Xu Haifeng's back, which was getting taller under the sunlight, with a thoughtful expression in their hearts.

  At this moment, in a place beyond their sight, a military dispatch was being sent to the northern camp at a speed of 800 li per day.

  The fourth part ends, see the fifth part fluttering its wings and ready to fly
