Chapter 143 Establishing Authority

  Lin'an City, formerly the capital of Tubo Kingdom.

  Since being taken by Caesar, as the base for attacking the Han Empire, the city walls became increasingly high and solid, a world-renowned impregnable fortress.

  It is also the place where Hei Qi Jun of Xu Haifeng rose to fame.

  General Xu's return to Lin'an had already been announced in the city, and before Xu Haifeng and his party saw the tall city wall, they met Tong Yifeng and others who came to greet them ten miles away.

  At the time of Xu Haifeng's departure, he accepted the suggestion of Fang Ming and appointed Li Tong as the acting lord of Lin'an City. When he returned safely, he led the crowd to welcome him, also this former deputy general of the Tianying Army Logistics Department.

  As soon as they saw the Black Flag Army approaching, Tong Yifeng raised his hand and suddenly the drums and music sounded together, what a lively scene.

  "Your subordinate Tong Yifeng has come to pay respects and welcome the great general back." Tong Yifeng led a group of officials and scholars to pay their respects.

  Su Chunwei and others deliberately fell back a step, this occasion of course had to be left to Xu Haifeng, the host, to deal with.

  Xu Haifeng rode on a dark cloud, without dismounting, and went straight to their front, expressionless, nodded slightly, and waved his hand to signal the troops to continue advancing.

  Tong Yifeng was quite embarrassed, but stealing a glance at Xu Haifeng's unpleasant expression, he didn't dare to say more.

  Xu Haifeng is now vastly different from the silly boy he was when he left, as if a spring silkworm had shed its cocoon and transformed into a butterfly, radiating sharp and dazzling light. Ordinary people can no longer enter his eyes.

  With a glance, Xu Haifeng's icy eyes suddenly changed, and he jumped off his horse, quickly walking to the front of a person, holding his large hand, and exclaimed: "Dad... Why did you come here in person?"

  Xu Jiaping is still as honest and kind-hearted as ever, although he is now wearing silk and satin, and eating delicacies every day, but his simple and unassuming nature has not changed with the improvement of his living conditions.

  "He's back...... It's good that he's back." Xujia Ping held onto Xu Haifeng's hand and smiled from the heart.

  Xu Haifeng nodded slightly and turned to Tong Yifeng, who was standing still on one side: "General Tong, it's so cold outside, how can you let him come here in person?"

  It is now winter, although it's not freezing cold, icy and snowy, but it's quite chilly.

  His tone was not severe, but Tong Yifeng's heart still skipped a beat, and in the cold weather, his back also broke out in a cold sweat.

  "The subordinate had already advised the old master, this matter can be handled by us, but the old master is anxious to see his son and insists on coming." Tong Yifeng said here, seeing Xu Haifeng's face getting worse, immediately changed his words: "The subordinate has prepared a special camp for the old master, the old master has always been warming up in the camp, only when he received the news of General's return did he come out to greet him."

  Xu Jiaping pulled his son's hand and repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, Lord Tong has been very good to our family, thinking of everything, Feng'er, you must thank him on my behalf."

  "These are all within the scope of my duties as a junior officer, and it's really nothing worth mentioning." Tong Yifeng said humbly.

  Xu Haifeng only then revealed a smile, saying: "General Tong, this official misunderstood. My father in Lin'an has received much care from you; in the future Xu will certainly repay it."

  Tong Yifeng immediately bowed and said: "General is too polite."

  "Dad, mom and big brother, are they all right?" Xǔ Hǎifēng no longer pays attention to him, asking his own old father.

  Xu Jiaping nodded repeatedly: "Good, great, our Xu family is the most promising, and we'll all enjoy good fortune together. Your mother wanted to come out and welcome you, but I scolded her back, she's never seen the world, afraid of losing face for you."

  Xu Haifeng was taken aback and thought to himself, "My mother may not have seen the world, but Father, you're not much better off either. Isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?"

  Even if something extraordinary is done here, no one dares to mock it.

  This is Lin'an, where he, Hai Feng, made his fortune. If he can still be ridiculed here, then he might as well go home and farm.

  But if these words were spoken out loud, this father-son relationship would probably be a bit precarious.

  Xu Haifeng could only smile wryly and avoided talking about it.

  It is said that a son should not speak of his father's faults; using this as an explanation is also acceptable.

  Under Tong Yifei's lead, they arrived at the gate of Lin'an City.

  Xu Haifeng pointed at the two doors that had long been repaired and said to Qin Yong: "Qin Yong, do you still remember?"

  Qin Yong looked around for a while, then touched his head and said, "General, what's the matter?"

  Xu Haifeng smiled and shook his head. This fierce cow had smashed someone's city gate, but in the blink of an eye, it had completely forgotten.

  At this time, one person stood out from the crowd.

  He was dressed in white clothes, spotless and clean, with only a white feather fan in his hand. In such cold weather, he looked extremely strange.

  He walked to the city gate, pointing with a feather fan at the three golden characters "Lin'an City" on top of the city wall, saying slowly: "The name 'Lin'an City' doesn't sound too good, how about changing it?"

  Everyone was shocked and lost their color, who is this madman, daring to cause trouble at this time.

  Tong Yigang was about to scold, but suddenly realized that Xu Haifeng beside him not only didn't show any anger, but instead smiled and looked at the person, his heart moved, and he swallowed back the scolding words that were about to come out.

  He may know how to trim his sails to suit the wind, but not everyone has this skill.

  A fat official didn't know whether he was acting out of a sense of justice or just trying to show off in front of Xu Haifeng.

  In short, he jumped out first and accused: "Where did the madman come from, dare to speak nonsense in front of the general. Come on, take him down and beat him severely."

  This man was obviously a figure in the city, and with one order, several soldiers rushed out like wolves and tigers, wanting to take him down on the spot.

  They had not yet reached the white-robed man when suddenly a figure flashed before them, blocking their path. Next thing they knew, they felt a sharp pain in their chest and abdomen, and with a blood-curdling scream, they were kicked flying by the newcomer.

  The fat official was shocked and cried out: "Assassin! Assassin! There's an assassin! Catch the assassin quickly!"

  Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar, with people running around like headless chickens. The guards outside heard that there were assassins making a move inside and thought to themselves, "Isn't this just great? They're really asking for it now."

  Immediately grasping a sharp blade, he wanted to rush in and capture the assassin.

  However, those who are qualified to stay inside are all big shots in Lin'an City. They don't dare to act recklessly like they do when driving away ordinary people, so they can only shout and squeeze in through the gaps.

  If there really are assassins at this time, by the time they arrive, I'm afraid even the yellow flower dishes will have gone cold.

  Tong Yifeng was taken aback by the chaotic scene, his face turned pale, and he couldn't believe that the grand welcoming ceremony he had carefully planned was ruined by this fat man.

  Although he didn't know who the white-clothed person was, he recognized the man who had come to his rescue as Lin Changkong, a fierce general under Xu Haifeng.

  If this white-clothed person could make this exceptional expert lend a hand, then the relationship between him and Xu Haifeng would be self-evident.

  Who would have thought that this fat guy didn't have any other skills, but his voice was quite loud. One loud shout and all his careful planning for nearly a month went down the drain.

  He stared at this incompetent and useless fat man to death, if his eyes could kill, this fat man would have died more than a hundred times.

  "Stop..."

  A loud shout was like a thunderclap on a clear day, exploding in the ears of the crowd with a buzzing sound, and the scene suddenly became extremely quiet.

  Xu Haifeng strode forward, walking up to the white-robed man's side, his eyes gleaming like lightning as he scanned their surroundings.

  Everyone who met his gaze was shocked by the strong spiritual power contained in his eyes, either lowering their heads or turning away, and not a single person could look him straight in the eye.

  Xu Haifeng's slow and cold voice spread out at the city gate: "This is my Black Flag Army's Chief Military Advisor, Jiang Gongming. His words are my words. Who dares to be rude?"

  Everyone's face changed slightly, and no one dared to speak up.

  That fatty only then knew he had gotten himself into big trouble, immediately knelt down and wailed like a ghost or wolf: "Your subordinate didn't know... your subordinate didn't know ah..."

  Xu Haifeng coldly snorted, making no attempt to conceal his intense and severe murderous intent: "How dare you defy General Military Advisor..."

  "With a 'plop', the fatty felt this cold, murderous aura penetrate his heart and lungs. He couldn't even cry out, falling to the ground with trembling lips."

  Xu Haifeng's gaze was like looking at a lifeless dead object, and from the corner of his mouth, he spat out a word that made people's hearts tremble with fear: "Kill..."

  A brilliant light seemed to streak across the horizon, leaving behind a dazzlingly colorful trail in mid-air.

  Xu Haiming sheathed his sword and stood up, a huge head flew into the air, spinning around in circles before falling into the crowd.

  A scream erupted from the crowd, and several people who failed to dodge in time were splattered with blood on their heads, instantly becoming weak and unsteady. The scene fell into chaos once again.

  "Hmph..."

  A loud shout shook the heavens and moved the earth. Qin Yong opened his throat and let out a mighty roar, and the originally bustling city gate suddenly fell silent to the point where one could hear a pin drop.

  "From today on, I, Xu Haifeng, am back. Lin'an is my fiefdom, and here, I only have one sentence to say."

  Xia Yajun unknowingly came to his back, quietly and soundlessly, under the cover of Jiang Kongming and Xu Haiming, a delicate jade hand was stuck on his back.

  A surge of powerful inner energy entered Xu Haifeng's body.

  His voice suddenly spread far and wide, though not loud, yet the entire Lin'an City, from the octogenarian old man who had lived through the remnants of the years to the infant in swaddling clothes waiting to be fed, could all hear it.

  "Those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish."
