"Su brother, actually Tang brother is right, we are all brothers of our own family." Fang Ming looked at the back of Xu Haifeng disappearing and sighed.
Su Chunwei's face remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he said: "Fang brother, I know you brothers have a deep relationship. However, have you ever thought that today's Xu Haifeng is no longer the same as yesterday's Xu Pianjiang?"
Fang's sharp eyes gazed at the three of them, Su Chunwei met him calmly, while Tang Qili's face showed a hint of unnaturalness. As for Fang Zhi, his expression was even more complex. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Big brother, Brother Su, it's still too early to discuss all this now. With the Khitan people lurking outside the city and the Xiongnu occupying half of the imperial court, if we can't resolve these two evil neighbors, everything we say is just empty talk."
Tang Qili immediately responded: "Brother Zhi is right, the top priority at present is not internal strife."
Su Chunwei hesitated for a moment and said: "Since both of you brothers have said so... Brother Fang, what do you think?"
Fang Xiang nodded slowly and said in a low voice: "Su brother, the most urgent task at present is not the time for internal strife, please think thrice."
Su Chunwei forced a smile and said, "Actually, General Xu has set foot in the realm of the ancestors, I also believe that he is not a small person, but there is one person I don't quite trust, leaving him behind will only lead to trouble later."
He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone present understood him clearly and deeply resonated with his words.
"Alas... I don't know if Taiyi Zhenren has become senile with age, actually wanting..."
"Shut up." The driver yelled loudly, interrupting the navigator's words.
A sudden chill ran down his spine, and he hung his head in silence.
Su Chunwei gave Tang Qili a glance and said, "Fang brother, actually, we've all reached this point with unspoken understanding. It's just that some things haven't been explicitly stated yet."
"Yes, this is no secret, and there are many who are dissatisfied with it." Tang Qili echoed.
"It's said that trouble comes from the mouth, so it's better to be careful." Fang Xiang sighed.
"Brother Fang, you all take your time chatting, I'll go ahead with Brother Qi first."
As they turned around, Fang Duan suddenly said: "Su brother, Er Di just mentioned that the flag of the Black Flag Army has not been stained with blood for a long time."
Su Chunwei's body shook slightly, and he nodded slightly without saying a word, directly leaving with Tang Qili.
Waiting for them to go far away, Fang Xiang asked: "Zhi Di, what do you think we should do?"
Fang Zhiji was taken aback, let out a bitter laugh and said: "Big brother, I believe that at this time, Brother-in-law will not make any moves that are detrimental to the Fang family. However, as for what happens afterwards... it's really hard to say." He paused for a moment before adding: "Especially with Jiang Kungming by his side, it's even harder to predict."
Fang Ming's face turned somewhat strange, and he asked in a low voice: "Compared to Er Di and Su Chunwei, who is more reliable?"
Without hesitation, Fang Zhili immediately replied: "Of course it's my brother-in-law." His expression suddenly stiffened, and he exclaimed: "Big Brother, what do you mean?"
Fang Ming slowly nodded his head, and said in a slow and heavy tone: "If the second brother is gone, then our Fang family will be the bird that sticks its head out. How can we face the Su and Tang families at that time?"
Fang Zhichu took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time, unable to speak.

Xu Haifeng had just left Fang's residence and turned a corner when the curtain of a horse-drawn carriage by the roadside was lifted.
"My lord."
Xu Haifeng responded with a "yes" and got on the horse carriage. He was quite curious in his heart, where did this Jiang Kongming get a horse carriage from.
Jiang Kung-ming closed the carriage door and tapped on the wall with the handle of his fan. A shout came from outside, and the horse carriage began to move slowly.
"Should we go see Lord Gu first or look for your brother-in-law?" asked Jiang Gongming.
Glaring at him with a bad temper, Xu Haifeng said: "Aren't we going to the Ge mansion right now?"
Xu Haitang's matter is after all a family affair, which can be handled at any time. As for Ge Haosheng, he is an important figure that he has recruited, and it is reasonable to handle his affairs first in terms of both emotions and reason.
This principle is naturally known to Zhuge Liang, so he had already ordered the horse carriage to head towards Ge's residence.
Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and asked: "Regarding your brother's matter, what proposals do those few have?"
"A little punishment will do, or... kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Xǔ Hǎifēng said lightly.
"Are you trying to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?" Jiang Gongming's mouth twitched, almost laughing out loud. Fortunately, he had a rich experience and only slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, saying: "Is it killing for those few families to see?"
Xu Haifeng sighed: "I'm afraid they won't be intimidated."
"Hmph... It's not that it can't be intimidated, it's just that this chicken isn't fat and big enough." - Jiang Kongming said with a cold smile.
"What does the military advisor mean?"
Jiang Kongming's mouth was curled up with a hint of disdainful smile: "That Bancroft is just in time." His voice was so relieved, yet mixed with some coldness and ruthlessness, making people feel chilled to the bone.
※※※※
"My lord, is it General Military Advisor?"
Filled with astonishment, it was the newly appointed Inspector of Wudang City, Ge Haojian. He felt extremely unexpected that the two of them suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Lord Ge." Jiang Gongming smiled warmly, his expression vastly different from the one he used on people like Fang Zhong.
"This humble officer dare not accept it, all of this is thanks to Your Excellency and General..."
Jiang Kongming waved his hand at him, and Ge Haojian immediately fell silent.
"Lord Guan, you must remember that the one who conferred your official position is Lord Cao, not me Jiang Kongming. This matter cannot be confused."
Ge Haojian was taken aback for a moment, as if he had suddenly realized something. He lowered his head and replied softly, "Yes, this subordinate will obey."
Jiang Gongming revealed a faint smile and said: "This time returning to Wudang City, the master has important matters to discuss with you."
"Ah." Ge Hao's sword let out a soft cry as his eyes involuntarily glanced at Xu Haifeng.
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly at him, but his expression was inscrutable.
"This matter concerns Master's family affairs, so let the student and Lord Ge discuss it." Jiang Gongming explained on the side.
As soon as the two words "family affairs" were mentioned, Ge Haojian's face became somewhat uncomfortable. He naturally understood that the so-called family affairs must be related to Xu Haitang, otherwise Xu Haifeng would not have rushed to Wodragon City before the Western camp was fully settled.
"General, this Xu Haitang is indeed arrogant and lawless. He bullies men and tyrannizes women, and in the city, he acts as if he is above the law. If this continues, it will inevitably destroy the good reputation of our lord's generation." Ge Haoxuan said with a deep bow.
Jiang Kung-ming did not say yes or no, he just gently played with the feather fan in his hand. In such hot weather, this feather fan finally fulfilled its original function.
"Milord, this person must be severely punished, otherwise it will be impossible to convince the masses." Ge Hao said heavily.
"What about the Fang family?" Jiang Kongming asked casually.
"The Fang family doesn't know anything about this person." Ge Hao Xian replied truthfully.
"How are you?"
"Perhaps Fang's family is being considerate of the master's face and therefore hesitates to take action against him." Ge Haojian said cautiously.
He looked at him with a faint smile, and Gao Hao's face turned red as he lowered his head.
"Actually, you're right to think that way. As officials, we sometimes have to be a bit ambiguous." Jiang Kongming gazed at him for a while before speaking slowly.
Ge Haojian was taken aback, his face changed slightly, he stole a glance at Xu Haifeng, and saw that the city master was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, oblivious to their conversation.
Ge Hao Xian smiled wryly and said, "Thank you, Military Strategist."
"What mistake did Xu Haitang make that even Ge Daren couldn't bear it and stepped forward to capture him."
Jiang Kung-ming naturally knew that Ko Hao's sword was steady, and if Hsu Hai-t'ang hadn't gone too far, he definitely wouldn't have touched this hard-to-chew bone.
Anyone who has been in contact with Xu Haifeng for a long time knows that he is very protective of his family and friends. To put it nicely, he values relationships and righteousness; to put it bluntly, he is biased towards those close to him.
Although Ge Haojian was highly valued by Xu Haifeng, compared to Xu Haitang, their relationship was still several degrees apart. That's why he could disregard the consequences and capture Xu Haitang, there must be a reason for it.
Ge Haojian's face sank, saying: "Forcibly abducting a civilian girl."
When Xu Haichuan first arrived in Wudang City, he didn't dare to act recklessly and only followed Xu Haifeng's lead. As Xu Haifeng's power grew more stable, he took advantage of the situation to rise up. After Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming left Wudang City together, he became even more unscrupulous, spending every day eating, drinking, and gambling with his gang of friends, doing whatever they pleased.
It is unknown why, but the disciples and younger generations of the Fang, Tang, and Su families were all very polite to him and never argued with him about anything. This only added to his arrogance, and he became even more overbearing in his actions.
Even after being defeated by Fang Ying's hands, it only took a few days to rest before returning to its old ways, and even becoming more severe.
After Dai Lin and other women left Wudang City, he was no longer restricted by anyone, and everything was allowed.
One day, Xu Haichang went to the street and set his sights on a big girl from a certain family. He asked someone to propose on his behalf, intending to take her as his sixth concubine. However, his reputation was truly too stinky, and he was politely rejected by the other party.
Xu Haitang was furious and brought several guards to forcibly take people away that night.
He had a bad record in the past and was already on Ge Hao's blacklist. All his movements were under the surveillance of undercover agents.
Ge Haojian heard the news and thought of his own brother who had died at the hands of such a spoiled brat, suddenly bursting with anger, he sent someone to ambush him, and when he committed the crime, he was caught and brought to justice.
Ge Haojian was also a clever person, knowing that this person's identity was special and not something he could handle himself. He planned to lock him up in prison and wait for Xu Haifeng to return before dealing with him.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu received the news and came with a large group of people, insisting on taking him away.
Ge Haojian, despite having a big temper, did not dare to use force against the old master, and had no choice but to release him.
Just as he had other plans, a young noble from the south suddenly accused him of being an escaped murderer, and in an instant, the city's grievances rose to the surface, disrupting all his actions.
Various pressures came one after another, making him unbearable. However, just as he was in a precarious situation, the situation changed again. Just a few days ago, Fang's family suddenly stood up and explicitly expressed their support for him. As a result, everything returned to calm overnight.
However, after this incident, he didn't dare to mess with Xu Haitang again.
