  The wind and sun are beautiful, the scorching sun is shining brightly. Xu Haifeng, Jiang Kongming, Lü Yangming, Xia Yajun, and Fang Yingying set out on their journey to the Western Camp. Because Er Dongjie had never been too fond of Xu Haifeng, they specially brought Fang Yingying along. With this thousand-gold spoiled girl around, even if Er Dongjie was being stubbornly arrogant, he would still have to show some respect.

  Ever since three days ago, after Old Lady Fang had a heart-to-heart talk with her grandson, this brave and generous man has undergone a tremendous change.

  It was as if they had returned to the time when they first met, that kind of heartfelt understanding and complete lack of reserve once again appeared between the two brothers.

  Fang Yingying was the most delighted about this, although she wasn't sure if it was just a fleeting moment. Seeing that both of them had opened up to each other, it showed that they both cherished this friendship and brotherly love.

  As for Lü Yangming, Jiang Gongming's evaluation was that his martial arts skills were not bad and his abilities were passable. Since his most outstanding talent was his martial arts skills, going to the Western camp, this new face might have an unexpected effect.

  There was also Ge Haojian, Jiang Dajunshi had a pleasant conversation with him for half a day, and laughed: "It's time, it's fate."

  After spending a whole day, relying on his unparalleled rich knowledge and the special function of being able to see through people's hearts, he thoroughly subdued this person. And on the spot, he appointed him as the Inspector of Wudang City, this new official title made everyone stunned for a good while.

  Jiang Gongming gave a detailed explanation, and only then did everyone realize that the so-called Surveillance Commissioner was actually the Minister of Justice in a country.

  A small capture head unexpectedly took on such a prominent official position, naturally causing a backlash from the crowd. In response, Jiang Kongming loved to reason and pushed everything onto Xu Haifeng and Fangxiang Ming's body.

  The two of them tacitly chose not to comment on this, but instead shot a cold glance at the person who dared to come and ask, after three times, no one came forward to invite trouble again.

  As he had made an appointment with Lizi in the capital for February, Xu Haifeng would be leaving soon, so some things, although rushed, had to be done.

  The Western Camp is the old nest that Xi Lin has carefully operated for decades. Half of the generals in the army were promoted by him from the grassroots level, step by step.

  Among them, the current Grand Leader Zhang Jinzhong was born into a declining aristocratic family. If not for Gu Dao Yan's appreciation and promotion, how could he have achieved his current glory? Therefore, his loyalty to Gu Dao Yan is beyond doubt.

  The Western camp is located in the rear of Wudang City, and this position is too sensitive.

  The Tianying Legion was like a sharp blade placed behind the Black Flag Army, ready to strike at any moment. For this deadly threat, Jiang Kung-ming could not sleep well at night.

  He is not a person who is used to waiting for death, since there are conditions, he should take the initiative.

  Then, Xu Haifeng and others made preparations and set off immediately. As for Wulong City, of course, it was handed over to Fangxiang Ming, with 10,000 city guards and 5,000 elite iron cavalry from the Red Ocean, which was not enough to defeat the 50,000 Caesar troops on the front line, but it was more than enough to defend the city.

  Moreover, there are still over a million robust men in the city. These people, under the leadership of Princess Lin Yuexian from their hometown, are also an extremely powerful force that should not be underestimated.

  Unless the Imperial Army reinforces again, it is impossible to take down Sleeping Dragon Castle with just those 50,000 troops. After all, in this vast world, the Black Flag Army is one of a kind, there's no other like it.

  As for the Western camp, it has a large number of elite Han soldiers, totaling one hundred thousand men. The number of people led by Xu Haifeng is too small, and if they want to annihilate them in one fell swoop, even if their abilities are ten times stronger, it would still be impossible.

  Fortunately, their goal was just for personal gain, and only with Er Dong's cooperation from within could this matter be possible.

  The Western Garrison has been stationed for hundreds of years and is now a famous city, with all kinds of facilities available in the city, and the most numerous are the wine houses and restaurants scattered throughout the city.

  Xu Haifeng and others took advantage of the night to sneak into the city secretly.

  He led the crowd to a secluded alley, passing by a grand mansion. After all, he had lived here for a period of time, and although it couldn't be said that he was familiar with every nook and cranny, finding a room on the map was an easy task.

  In the main hall, the candles were shining brightly. A tall and majestic old man with silver hair flowing down sat in the main seat. This person was none other than Lord Er Dongjie, the Minister of Logistics of the Western Front's Great Camp, who had been waiting here for a long time.

  "Your Excellency..." Xu Haifeng led the crowd in and greeted him.

  Er Dongjie's slightly closed eyes opened, and he immediately saw Fang Yingying behind him. He stood up at once and said, "Ying'er, how did you come too?"

  Fang Ying's eyes reddened at the corners, a row of pearly teeth biting lightly on her lower lip, as she said softly: "Uncle, my father...".

  Er Dongjie's expression turned gloomy, and he sighed: "Big brother was loyal and righteous, died in a worthy cause, the Xiongnu people... Hmph, this vendetta will not be shared under the same sky."

  Fang Yingying nodded silently, but Xu Haifeng clearly felt her deep pain and resentment. He no longer avoided suspicion, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said: "Your Excellency, have you grasped Zhang Jinzhong's whereabouts?"

  Er Dongjie had no great affection for his nephew-in-law in his heart. He was a stubborn and conservative person, and he didn't get along with Xu Haifeng who had long been dissatisfied. If it weren't for the face of the Fang family, that kid would have married his beloved niece and wouldn't have paid attention to him early on.

  He nodded slightly and said faintly, "Zhang Jinzhong is a true military man with no special hobbies. With his rank, there will always be more than 100 guards around him at any time. Even if we grasp his whereabouts, it may not be useful."

  Xu Haifeng detected the malice in his tone, but merely smiled calmly and didn't take it to heart. He countered with a question: "After all, Zhang Jinzhong is the great commander of the Tianying Army, so he should have some dignity. As for you, sir, has he made any unusual moves recently? For example, eliminating dissenters..."

  When he asked the last sentence, he deliberately emphasized his tone, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. At this time, the fall of the capital had already been transmitted to the Western Regions, and it was a time of great chaos among the people.

  But Zhang Jinzhong must have been prepared early on, and if he wants to take action, it's the best time.

  Er Dongjie sneered and said, "Although Zhang Jinzhong is the commander-in-chief, the Fang family's influence in the army is deeply rooted. His every move can't escape our attention. General Xu can rest assured."

  Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief as he spoke with such confidence.

  At this time, a footstep came from outside the hall, and everyone turned their heads to look. An old man with a tall stature struggled to move his fat body and pushed open the door.

  He ignored everyone in the hall and walked directly to Er Dong's side, saying: "Big brother, all the rooms have been arranged properly, you see..."

  Er Dongjie nodded and said to everyone: "This is my cousin Er Dongcheng, you all stay here for a night, and we'll talk about it again tomorrow."

  Xu Haifeng and Xia Yajun exchanged a glance, both masters sensing something amiss, but in the brief moment, they couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.

  "Haha." Jiang Kongming suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, saying: "So this is Er Ye, I apologize for not showing respect earlier."

  Er Dongchen was taken aback, he had no idea why Jiang Kongming suddenly became so enthusiastic towards him, but seeing his smiling face, he couldn't bear to respond with malicious words, so he just hummed twice and asked: "Where is it, sir...?"

  Jiang Kung-ming didn't answer, but smiled and said: "Second Master, shall we make a bet?"

  "Mr. Jiang..." Er Dongjie couldn't stand Xu Haifeng, and his chief advisor was no exception. Seeing him suddenly making a fuss without reason, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Just as he felt his sleeve being pulled tight, he turned his head to see Fang Yingying gently shaking her head while holding onto his arm.

  Er Dong suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and those words were swallowed back into his belly, unspoken.

  Although Fang Yingying didn't know why Jiang Gongming was suddenly so interested in Er Dongcheng, she knew that General Jiang had always been known for his profound and unpredictable methods and motives, and this move must have a deeper meaning.

  Er Dongcheng's eyes lit up, and his gaze at Jiang Kongming suddenly became enthusiastic, as if he had found a kindred spirit: "So you also appreciate this art? I've been obsessed with it for decades, what do I have to fear from others? What bet do you want to make, just say it."

  Jiang Kongming's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he smiled extremely happily: "Good, let's bet whether Zhang Jinzhong, the great general, has already known that we have come here."

  As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two brothers in your family changed greatly at the same time.

  Er Dongjie's eyes were cold and stern, he stared tightly at his younger brother, with seven parts shock and three parts doubt.

  "What...what are you talking about?" Er Dongcheng said loudly: "Jiang Junshi, don't speak nonsense."

  Jiang Kung-ming smiled but did not answer, instead turning his head to face the pale-faced Er Dong-je and saying: "Sir, this is your family affair, you handle it yourself."

  Er Dongcheng's eyes met his brother's gaze, which seemed to be piercing and menacing. He couldn't help but shudder, his face turning deathly pale in an instant, devoid of any blood color. Yet, he still called out: "Big Brother, they're framing me!"

  However, his hoarse voice of justification echoed in the spacious living room, but it seemed so weak and powerless.

  "Second brother, my good second brother, when did I ever tell you that he was General Jiang of the Black Flag Army?" Er Dongjie's gaze lingered on him for a moment before slowly moving away, but only Hai Feng's keen intuition detected the faint glint in his eyes.

  "Ah……" Er Dongcheng's mouth opened wide, and he immediately became speechless. Half a beat later, he still couldn't say a word. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense again, but amidst this oppressive silence that was unbearable to people, there was a fierce and murderous aura that shot up into the sky.
