"Why bother, one of me is enough." The humanoid tyrannosaurus grumbled for a while before finally speaking up. His voice was just too loud, and although he hadn't intentionally raised it, it still echoed loudly.

  Zhang Zhong's gaze was fixed on his tall figure, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. If it weren't for the fact that he was in front of Master Xu Haifeng and Grandmaster Xu, he would have scolded him long ago. What a reckless and arrogant man!

  Lü Yangming and Lin Yixing shook their heads simultaneously. Since the incident at Fangmapo, when Qin Yong flew down from the mountaintop and drank horse blood wildly, they had already known that this brutal dragon with skin as thick as armor was absolutely the greatest villain of all time. At least, he wasn't someone they could afford to offend.

  Zhang Zhong's obvious expression fell into the eyes of the two, and they both had a hint of disapproval in their hearts, but their faces remained still, afraid of offending someone unintentionally.

  "Who is this..." Hu Si asked inquiringly.

  "My name is Qin Yong." Qin Yong replied loudly, as if a thunderbolt had suddenly struck in mid-air, shocking people's hearts and souls. The little child even covered his ears, with an expression of shock and bewilderment on his face.

  "'The world's number one brave warrior?' The cries of surprise rose one after another, and only then did the crowd remember that under Xu Haifeng's command was such a figure who made even the strongest masters helpless, and was conferred by the previous emperor as the world's number one super brave warrior."

  Zhang Zhong's face changed, and his gaze at Qin Yong suddenly became serious. He secretly thought that he was lucky that he hadn't lashed out in anger earlier, or else it would have been difficult to recover from. Although he was rough, he still had some self-awareness, and even the great Abbot Ouyang would have to admit defeat to someone like Qin Yong, so how could Zhang Zhong possibly deal with him?

  "Nonsense..." Jiang Gongming turned his head and scolded, saying: "Shut up for me, don't let you speak."

  "Uhh..." A wronged tone responded, Qin Yong tightly closed his mouth, not uttering a word. Only a pair of bronze bell-like eyes still radiated fierce light, making one's hair stand on end.

  Everyone stared at Jiang Kongming in amazement, unable to comprehend what abilities he possessed that could make such a figure obey him. They couldn't help but look at him with new eyes, and his slender body seemed to swell up instantly.

  After a brief exchange, Xu Haifeng made an appointment with them at Wulong City and bid farewell. Before leaving, Jiang Kongming asked Zheng Fasen: "Sir, would you like to follow our master to Wulong City first?"

  Zheng Fasen's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said: "Serving the country is our duty, I beg of you to let me do so."

  Watching him go with the wind, Hu Si was deep in thought and remained silent for a long time.

  Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming rode side by side in the front, advancing slowly. Behind them followed Qin Dayong, a warrior with a hundred bored expressions. Zheng Fasen and the other three top-notch experts trailed far behind, keeping a considerable distance from that human-shaped violent dragon.

  "General, you and Zheng Fasen seem to be a good match." Xuhai Feng said calmly.

  Zheng Fasen's behavior was different from others, and he was extremely respectful to Jiang Koming, completely with an attitude of treating his direct superior. And Jiang Koming favored him even more, before leaving, he specially took him away alone. From this point on, if one still can't see the subtlety in it, unless that person is really a fool.

  Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and said, "Zheng Fasen is a master of martial arts. The student's mind-reading technique can only tell that he is an official who has lost his way, but as for why he chose me, the student really doesn't know."

  Xu Haifeng nodded slowly and said, "I can feel that he has no malice in his heart, it's clear that he has a sincere intention to surrender. As for why, since you have the ability to read minds, it won't be difficult to know later."

  Jiang Kongming took out a brand new feather fan and habitually waved it a few times, saying: "Actually, there's no need for that. Since he sincerely wants to surrender, why not just ask him directly?"

  Xu Haifeng's gaze condensed, and he smiled wryly: "It seems that Military Advisor indeed understands human nature, let's do it this way then."

  Zheng Fasen was unaware that Jiang Kung-ming possessed the extraordinary ability to read minds, and he himself was a narrow-minded person. If he were to reuse him immediately after just one meeting, even he would be suspicious of his own intentions.

  It's better to just open up and say it, no matter what reason he gives, I guess we can all just relax and do our jobs now.

  Suddenly remembering something, Xu Haifeng smiled and asked: "Military strategist, I heard from ** that there is a rumor circulating in the Jianghu about someone named Xu suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Li Zhi. Have you heard anything about it?"

  Jiang Gongming was taken aback and asked in return: "Great defeat of cleverness? My lord, have you ever won?"

  Xu Haifeng shook his head and sighed, "It's not a life-and-death struggle, how can we distinguish between victory and defeat. Moreover..." He paused for a moment, then said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Moreover, the rumors in Jianghu say that Xu certain, with his own strength, intimidated the tens of thousands of Golden Wolf Army at Putuo Slope, making them dare not pursue. Xu certain is not that Qin Baolong, how can he have such skills."

  Jiang Kongming furrowed his brow, and suddenly he was enlightened. He smiled and said: "Master, you don't think that the students are spreading rumors behind your back, do you?"

  "Isn't it Military Advisor?" A hint of unhidden surprise in his flat tone.

  Jiang Kongming shook his head and said, "The students indeed sent someone to Wodragon City to report the details of the battle in Beijiang to several generals and ladies, but there is absolutely no such exaggeration."

  Looking at his expression, it didn't seem fake, and Xu Haifeng felt strange in his heart. Could it be that there really was another person?

  In fact, Chiang Kung-ming's words were half true and half false. He did not exaggerate to such an extent, but secretly ordered the spread of these words.

  Little do they know, the common people love to add fuel to the fire, they exaggerate based on their own preferences. The speaker nods and shakes his head, speaking fluently, the listener is enchanted, as if they were there in person. After several rounds of embellishment, a dramatic change suddenly occurs, even Zhuge Liang would be speechless at the exaggerated parts. One can't help but feel admiration for these ordinary people who can create such remarkable achievements with their rich imagination.

  "This is a good thing, why should the lord worry too much?" Jiang Gongming comforted him for a few words and muttered to himself: "If this matter spreads in the army, it will greatly boost morale. Hmm, it can be used."

  Xu Haifeng gave him a white eye, but dispelled the idea of stopping. Since he didn't want to be distracted by mundane things and let Jiang Kongming handle everything, he had to trust him.

  Rumors stop at the wise, and those who follow the trend may be many, but truly intelligent people must have their own views. When faced with such rumors, they just smile and let it go.

  Behind him, from a distance, Zheng Fasen bowed to the two people beside him and said: "Brother Lü, Brother Lin, in the future we will serve the same master, please take care of each other."

  Lyu Yang's face smiled, but his eyes did not: "Where are the words, Brother Zheng has come, Lyu certain is seeking it desperately. The Military Advisor values Brother Zheng greatly, and in the future, we should still take care of each other."

  Lin Yixing was taken aback, the smile on his face instantly disappearing. He thought to himself when he had become one of Xu Haifeng's gang. He and Zhang Jinzhong had been sworn brothers for decades, otherwise Zhang Jinzhong would not have let his only son change his name and surname to join Lin Yixing's side. Currently, it seems that Zhang Jinzhong and Xu Haifeng are not on good terms, if one day they become enemies, how should he handle himself.

  Logically speaking, he should have helped Zhang Jinzhong without hesitation, but after his trip to the north, he had a preliminary understanding of the strength in Xu Haifeng's hands.

  Those eccentric individuals, especially Qin Yong's exaggerated performance and Zhebie's shocking arrow, made him feel a chill from the bottom of his heart. Once he thought about being an enemy with such people, he couldn't put on any smiling face anymore.

  Lü Yangming's idea was far from being as complicated as this, and by today, his future fate had already been tightly tied to the Black Flag Army. As the saying goes, "one honor, one glory", he naturally hoped that Xu Haifeng's power would be greater.

  Just then, when he turned his head to look at Lin Yixing's worried face, he also let out a sigh and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Younger brother, hasn't Military Advisor said it before? When the boat reaches the bridgehead, it will naturally go straight. You don't need to worry."

  Lin Yixing smiled uncomfortably and sighed: "Older brother, you're right. Let's just accept our fate."

  "Actually..." Lü Yang shook his head and said, "I really envy you, big brother."

  Lin Yixing was surprised and asked: "Are you jealous of me?"

  "Yes." Lü Yang said sincerely: "You at least have a good son and an outstanding apprentice. And me... Alas, even those few mediocre apprentices didn't become accomplished either."

  Lin Yixing suddenly remembered what he had said before, that his only son had died a miserable death on the battlefield. He quickly collected his thoughts and comforted him, saying: "That's because they're still young, as long as they work harder in the future, they won't be inferior to anyone."

  Lü Yang shook his head and sighed, "I'm their master, of course I know what they're capable of. But those two young ones from your family seem to have gained the recognition of those two, you should think carefully about it."

  He pointed with his hand at Xu and Jiang in front of him, and gave them a signal with his eyes.

  Lin Yixing knew that Lin Jiahui and Lin Muhe had left a very good impression on Xu Haifeng and others due to their past performance, if they could climb up this big tree and get their care, their future would be boundless.

  Of course, the premise is that Xu Haifeng can achieve a great career. His brain compared the strengths of various major forces, both overt and covert, but unexpectedly found that they were all unclear.

  His face showed a hint of bitterness again. If they were to surrender to Xu Haifeng, how could he explain it to Zhang Jinzhong, an old friend for many years?

  Zheng Fasen watched them from the side, astonished in his heart. He knew all about the grudges between these two men, and although he had just seen them walking shoulder to shoulder, he still thought it was because of Xu Haifeng's face that they didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they suddenly became as close as brothers.

  However, after seeing their performance just now, he realized that these two people had really turned their swords into jade belts and were no longer the needle points of the past.

  What a wonderful Xuhai Feng, what a wonderful Jiang Kongming! He truly has good skills. He attributes all the credit to these two people, and in his heart, he is deeply relieved by today's choice.
