A moment later, Xu Haifeng and Fangxiang Ming, the two city masters, received the news and rushed to the council hall almost simultaneously.

  Xu Haifeng was the first to unfold this document, which had arrived from the capital at the fastest speed. His face showed a mixture of joy and worry, making it impossible for others to guess what he was thinking.

  He took the documents, browsed through them, and also frowned. He thought for a long time, ordered to find Jiang Gongming, Tong Yifeng and the three great family sons.

  When everyone gathered together, Fang Zhong opened the document and said: "The Xiongnu's Golden Wolf Army has finally set out."

  Su Chunwei roughly flipped through it and handed it over, saying: "The banner of the Golden Wolf Army appeared in front of the Beijiang Great Camp, and the Emperor has already ordered the deployment of 50,000 troops from the Canglang Army and Huanglong Army to set out on the road. The war is likely to break out at any moment."

  "What shall we do?" Zhi rose to his feet and said, "Now that the Roman troops are holding back, should we send our army out to battle? The northern frontier camp cannot afford any losses."

  Everyone in the audience knew about the close relationship between Beifang's camp and Fang's family, so it was no surprise to see Fang Zhi's performance.

  Fang Ming did not respond, but instead looked at Jiang Kongming who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed.

  Xu Haifeng and Fang Xiangming are the masters of Wulong City. One is the great general of the Black Flag Army, which has made great achievements and is famous all over the world. There are countless strange and talented people in the army, making it the only iron army that makes both the Huns and the Roman Empire wary at the same time.

  Moreover, the Black Flag Army has now expanded to 10,000 people, which perfectly matches Gu Dao's evaluation of "Black Flag is not full of ten thousand, and it is invincible when it is full". Its strength is strong, even compared with the five major legions of the Great Han Dynasty.

  Another is Fang Xuanling, the eldest son and grandson of the Fang family.

  In today's world, whether it is those who hold power in the imperial court or those who dominate a region from a distant corner, most of them come from aristocratic families.

  These big and small family members formed a complex, omnipresent network of relationships. They excluded scholars and officials, and only trusted their own kind, but it was they who were the true rulers of this nation.

  With his own performance and military achievements, he has already become the leader of all the young masters of the aristocratic families, and can be called the first person in this generation.

  Xu Haifeng rose from the people, even though he married the daughter of the three major families, but compared to Fang Ming, this relationship was always one step behind. So in the current Wulong City, a subtle distinction had already formed between the two major forces led by these two men, and this was not a good phenomenon.

  The direction of the sound in his heart is naturally attributed to the intention of sending troops, which is why he is so concerned about Jiang Kongming's reaction.

  Under the leadership of Xu Haifeng, Jiang Gongming is undoubtedly the second-in-command of the Black Flag Army. Moreover, this Grand General Jiang is also the chief and only strategist of the Black Flag Army, even Xu Haifeng listens to his plans, if he thinks it's possible to send troops, then sending troops is a must.

  Jiang Kongming fanned himself with a feather fan, sitting calmly and composedly in his chair, as if he didn't know anyone was waiting for him to speak.

  Xu Haifeng coughed and asked: "What does Milord think?"

  Upon hearing Xu Haifeng's question, Jiang Kongming suddenly looked up and said, "I think it's not suitable."

  If it were someone else who had been so bluntly and directly negated, he would have immediately argued back. However, Jiang Kung-ming's status was not to be trifled with, and even Fang Lian-chen, who was known for his strictness in the Fang family, held him in high esteem, so how could Fang Xiang-zhi dare to use abusive language towards him?

  "General, at this moment the Roman army is motionless, and in the west, apart from us, there are also 100,000 brave lions of the Sky Eagle Legion stationed, so..."

  "Enough, younger brother," Zhi cut off his sibling's excuses and said, "Father clearly stated in the letter that since we're here, everything will be arranged by you, second brother. We can't act on our own."

  "Faced with the stern rebuke from the direction of the horn, among the younger generation of the Fang family, except for that unruly Fang Yingying, no one else dared to disobey."

  Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and persuaded: "Big brother, Zhige is also worried about San Shu's safety."

  Fang Ming furrowed his brow and sighed, "I'm not unaware of this, brother. It's just that I've fought against the Roman army before, their elite troops are as brave as anyone else. The burden on Sleeping Dragon City is not light either. In any case, the Black Flag Army cannot move."

  Su Chunwei gave Tang Qili a look, and the latter understood, saying: "Brother-in-law, what you said is not wrong, but we can't just sit here without taking any action, waiting to be killed."

  Xu Haifeng's gaze swept around in a circle. Although he didn't have Jiang Kongming's mind-reading skills, he also felt that the atmosphere in the room was different at this moment.

  Whether it is Su Chunwei or Tang Qili, in their hearts, they still take directions from Ma Yun as the leader.

  "In fact, the northern camp has accumulated 200,000 troops. No matter what, it is impossible for them to be defeated by the Xiongnu in a short period of time. Why don't we do this, big brother? You and I will go to the capital together, meet with Father-in-law, and listen to his instructions on how to proceed?" Xu Haifeng asked Fang Zhiming with a smile.

  "This... direction seems a bit hesitant, but in his heart, he was somewhat hesitant."

  Xu Haifeng's smile faded, and he said seriously: "Big brother, I have a bad premonition in my heart, so I want to go to the capital to investigate. Moreover, this feeling seems to be closely related to you, so I specially invited you to come with me."

  Feng Ming's expression suddenly became serious, thinking of Xu Haifeng's realization of spiritual power, he was already a half-step master-level expert. What he said couldn't be taken lightly, so he decisively said: "Alright, let's set off as soon as possible."

  After Dai Fang and others left, only Xu and Jiang were left in the main hall.

  Jiang Kongming burst out laughing and said: "The lord is indeed brilliant, with just one sentence he diverted the attention of Fang Zhong, now that this son has left, there are no more people to worry about."

  In the three major families of this generation, only Feng Ming, who was ranked first in the imperial examination, stood out at that time. When he was in Wulong City, even Su Chunwei and Tang Qili followed his orders unconditionally. A small but powerful group was formed, which could rival Xu Haifeng without being inferior.

  Now that Fang and Xu are about to leave, among all the people who stay behind, only Jiang Gongming is worthy of taking over Wulong City.

  As long as the three major families don't unite, Jiang Kongming will have thousands of plans and countless wonderful strategies to play them in his hands.

  Xu Haifeng neither admitted nor denied it, but stood up and walked to the gate of the hall. As he left, he slowly said: "Everything is entrusted to Military Advisor."

  Walking into the backyard and entering the main hall, I unexpectedly found that all the women had gathered together.

  Seeing all the beautiful ladies, Xu Haifeng revealed a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart: "How did you all come?"

  Lin Wanwan walked up to him with a gentle pace, gazing at him with deep affection. This man was no longer the naive and infatuated young boy she had once been enchanted by; he had truly become a strong and upright man. All of his sisters, including herself, would never be able to leave his side for the rest of their lives.

  "Big brother, I heard you called all of them over, is something wrong?" Fang Yingying asked excitedly as she followed closely behind.

  Although they have been married for over a year, Fang Yingying still calls him "big brother", and Xu Haifeng also accepts it calmly, with his love for her increasing by threefold.

  "Yes, Ying Er, I and your brother will be leaving Wodragon City soon." Xuhai Feng affectionately pinched her slightly wrinkled small nose.

  Fang Yingying hummed and reluctantly broke free, asking: "Where are you going? When will you be back?"

  All the girls showed a look of concern at the same time, and this question was only asked by this little chili pepper without any scruples.

  Xu Haifeng took off his long-sleeved coat and handed it to Wanying beside him, asking: "Guess what."

  Fang Yingying put on a thoughtful expression, but it only took a few breaths for her true nature to be revealed. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Xu Haifeng's arm, pouting and saying: "Can't guess, big brother, tell me."

  Xu Haifeng was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to hug her small waist, laughing: "Good, tell my little Yan'er, we are going to pay respects to Father-in-law."

  "Going to the capital?" Fang Yingying's small face showed a look of surprise and delight, she pulled his hand with increased strength and said: "Take me along too, it's been a long time since I've seen Father."

  Xu Haifeng nodded, looked up at the crowd of women, except for Fang Rongying, Tang Rou'er and Xia Yajun all showed a look of longing, while Liu Ting's face was gloomy and sorrowful, thinking that she must have remembered her parents, but it would be impossible to meet again in this life.

  I am filled with regret in my heart. After seeing my family members, I no longer have any vigilance. What words shouldn't be said, yet they had to bring up this matter.

  He didn't go on this trip for sightseeing, but rather it was a difficult and perilous journey, so how could he possibly bring all the women along?

  "Ying'er, come here to sister."

  Seeing the difficulty in Xu Haifeng's heart, Lin Wanxian smiled and beckoned to her with a wave of her hand.

  Fang Yingying responded with a "yes" and obediently walked to Lin Yuexian's side. Although she was extremely favored by Xu Haifeng, she was not someone who didn't know the rules of propriety, knowing that there was an order to seniority, and towards Lin Yuexian, the eldest lady of the household, she had always been compliant with her words and actions.

  Lin Wanwan held her little hand and blew a kiss in Liu Ting's direction.

  Fang Yingying turned around and saw Liu Ting, immediately understanding what was going on. She stuck out her small tongue, ran over, grabbed Liu Ting's hand, and chatted enthusiastically with her. After a while, she had the little princess laughing with joy.

  Xu Haifeng looked at Lin Wanting with gratitude and was proud of his wise decision back then.

  Lin Wanxian is a fair and impartial person, strict with herself and lenient with others. She has a delicate mind and is good at understanding people's intentions. After more than a year of getting along, she has solidified her position as the eldest sister, and only she can make this little pepper submit willingly.

  "Husband, be careful on this trip and come back early." Tang Rou'er leaned her body slowly against Xu Haifeng's and said softly.

  Xu Haifeng responded with a gentle voice, embracing this soft and gentle little woman, his heart filled with warmth.

  Being with them is his most relaxing moment. It's only here that he can forget all his worries and immerse himself wholeheartedly in a warm and gentle world.

  He would never forget that night when he was on a diplomatic mission to the Xiongnu, Lin Wanxian and Xia Yajun played the qin and xiao together, playing a heavenly tune that moved people's hearts. It was on that very night that he hugged Tang Rou'er and Liu Ting tightly, vowing in his heart that he would never let these beloved women suffer even half a bit of injustice.

  To this day, he has his own territory and influence, with the capital and confidence to achieve his wishes.

  Soft and gentle light pours in through the open window, casting a hazy moonlit scene on the windowsill.
