Volume 9: Unpredictable Winds and Clouds Chapter 248: Countermeasures Two

  "Are you kidding me?" There was a hint of surprise and a slight irritation in Xu Haifeng's words.

  "Not bad." Jiang Kongming's crisp reply.

  The suspicious gaze swept across his face twice, and Xi Hai Feng couldn't see a hint of mockery. He asked: "General, you must have a profound meaning for doing this, please explain it to me."

  Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and said: "Since the ladies have already formed an opinion about the student, no matter how I explain it, the effect will not be good. Unless..."

  "What?"

  "Unless it's a blood oath." Jiang Kongming said calmly.

  Xu Haifeng's face changed instantly, saying: "This is absolutely not allowed." His heart was shaken, and since he entered the realm of the sect master, he was the first to feel a sense of fear in his heart. He looked deeply at Jiang Kongming, who had no expression on his face, and repeated heavily: "This is absolutely non-negotiable, absolutely not allowed."

  Jiang Kongming's face didn't change color. As for this result, he had expected it long ago and wasn't surprised at all: "Since the master doesn't allow it, a student has no choice but to obey."

  Xu Haifeng let out a sigh of relief, knowing that Jiang Kongming was cunning and full of tricks, but when it came to his own orders, he would always execute them with precision and never be perfunctory or insincere. This was the greatest advantage of the Blood Wine Warriors, and even this lone intelligent being was no exception.

  "A few of the mistresses are among the rare wise women in the world, and no matter how you explain it, they will not be completely satisfied. If Master believes it, then the student has a plan that can be implemented."

  "Please speak, General."

  "Let several madams participate in politics." Jiang Kongming said slowly.

  Xu Haifeng's eyes suddenly shot out a piercing gaze, he stared at Jiang Kongming, and after a long time asked: "If Xu certain person's memory is not wrong, Military Advisor had once said that one of the calamities that disturb the country is the harem interfering with politics."

  Jiang Kongming faced his stern inquiry, unafraid and smiled calmly, saying: "That's right, so the late Emperor decreed that no relatives by marriage should hold office."

  Xu Haifeng took a deep breath and sighed: "Is this possible?"

  Not to mention others, just taking Fang and Tang's current foundation into account, wanting to eradicate their power in the officialdom, unless bloody actions are taken, it is absolutely impossible.

  "In a chaotic world, it's naturally impossible, but if the world is unified and at peace, then it must be done." Jiang Gongming's cold voice had a hint of subtle murderous intent: "He said that after Master ascends to heaven, the one who inherits the great treasure cannot be after Fang and Tang's two daughters."

  "You..."

  Xu Haifeng closed his eyes, his heart surging with waves, Jiang Kongming's meaning was very clear. Just like Lin Yuexian and the other women were suspicious of him, he also had heavy concerns about the Fang and Tang families.

  In his words, even pointed out that if it were not for Hai Feng's hundred years later, the Fang and Tang families might not have ended well.

  Among the several madams, Lin and Liu were born into imperial families and were well-versed in political ways. They would later become one of the powerful arms of their masters. Their special status made even the three major families dare not to easily offend them, and many things that their masters found inconvenient to do themselves could be handled by these two women without arousing suspicion.

  Jiang Kongming took a deep breath and continued: "No matter how pleasant the empty words may sound, they are not as reliable as having power in one's hands. As long as the two main ladies have the strength to maintain a balance of power under your leadership, then even if the suspicions towards the students do not completely disappear, they will be greatly reduced, and it will not be worth worrying about. This is the second point."

  "The third..." Jiang Gongming suddenly stopped speaking.

  "What is it?" Xǔ Hǎifēng asked intently.

  "They came forward and eliminated worries about external relatives."

  Xu Haifeng suddenly understood that Lin Yuexian had long been a lonely and helpless person. As for Liu Ting, it was estimated that she would only be able to take the stage to help clean up the mess after Liu Zhengqi and Liu Zhengting were gone.

  "General, what if Ying and Ruo also want to participate?"

  "I refuse."

  Xu Haifeng sighed and said, "Rou'er was born with a gentle surname and has no conflicts with the world. She naturally won't have any objections to this. But Yingying is stubborn and afraid that she might not be willing."

  Chiang Kung-ming's firm voice left no room for doubt: "In any case, this matter is non-negotiable."

  Xu Haifeng glared at him and thought to himself that this June debt was indeed urgent, and this kid had also come up with an absolute non-negotiable.

  As for the last one, Xia Yakun, none of them had ever mentioned a word. After all, she was also a master-level super expert, and it was absolutely impossible to let her participate in politics.

  After a moment, Jiang Kongming's tone calmed down: "Master Fang's mother is open-minded and has a strong sense of justice, she would not be interested in those political struggles and intrigues, the only thing she worries about is that someone might be instigating behind her back."

  Xu Haifeng nodded repeatedly, deeply resonating with this sentence. If Fang Yingying suddenly developed an interest in politics, it would be as if the sun had risen in the west.

  It's strange to think about it, why is Old Lady Fang such a formidable figure, yet her granddaughter is so vastly different.

  "Alright, it's settled then." With a decision made, Xu Haifeng no longer hesitated.

  Jiang Gongming responded with a sound, and then said: "My lord, there is still news coming from Wulong City."

  Looking at his expression, Xu Haifeng immediately knew that nothing good was going on and asked: "What's the matter?"

  "Xu Haitang." A name slowly escaped from Jiang Kongming's mouth.

  "What's he done now? Is he causing trouble again?" Xǔ Hǎifēng asked with a frown.

  "Ever since the mistress of the Fang family scolded those young masters from noble families, they all became more restrained. However, you, her nephew, are not willing to give up. You first ran to your uncle's side and cried to him, gaining his sympathy. Then, taking advantage of the fact that several mistresses were away from Wudang City, you resumed your old ways, even becoming more aggressive, causing trouble for the common people and making it difficult for officials to handle."

  Xu Haifeng angrily said: "How is that possible, where is Ge Haojian? Isn't he the Surveillance Commissioner of Wodragon City? Is he just going to neglect his duties, what's the point of having him then?"

  Jiang Kongming's mouth curled up in a cold smile: "Ge Haoxian, he is now at a loss for what to do, fortunately he has a strong sense of responsibility and hasn't abandoned his post to flee, which is already quite rare."

  Xu Haifeng was startled and looked at him with a questioning expression in his eyes.

  "Your sworn brother doesn't know what he's thinking, turning a blind eye to Xu Haitang's behavior, letting him run amok in the countryside without asking any questions. The longer it went on, the bolder he became, and his actions became more and more unscrupulous. Ge Haojian had previously been restrained by your face, not wanting to be overly critical, but later seeing that he was making too much trouble, fearing that if this continued, it would tarnish your reputation, so he ordered his capture."

  Xu Haifeng knew that things wouldn't end so easily, and sure enough, he heard Jiang Kongming continue: "After all, she's not the young lady of the Fang family. Once they take someone, Old Man Fang will immediately come knocking on the door, demanding by name that they release her."

  "Let go?"

  "Let go."

  Xu Haifeng furrowed his brow, a hint of discontent rising in his heart.

  Jiang Kongming observed his words and expressions, explaining: "However, it was not Ge Hao who gave the order under the sword."

  "Who is it?"

  Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and said, "Your respected father did not come alone, but brought nearly a hundred people of all ages from his clan into the Ge estate. They rushed in together, hehe... unless Ge Haoxuan wants to thoroughly offend your family and risk being beaten or injured, how could he dare to intervene?"

  Xu Haifeng was taken aback and said, "Old master? How could he possibly do something so unreasonable?"

  Xu's father was originally a honest and kind-hearted farmer, who had been a small figure all his life. Although the conditions have improved greatly now, such behavior is absolutely not something he can bear with his temperament.

  He shrugged and smiled, "The student was not at the scene, how could he have known."

  After a moment of contemplation, Xu Haifeng asked: "Ge Haojian is by no means incompetent, what did he do afterwards?"

  Ge Haojian saw that the situation was not good, so he avoided their sharpness and did not have a head-on conflict with them. However, that night, he personally led his men to re-arrest Xu Haitang.

  Xu Haifeng nodded silently, this Ge Haojian was indeed not simple, what he did was absolutely the best choice at that time. Xu Haitang must be caught no matter what, otherwise how could they convince the public later on.

  "Just then, before he could make a move, someone came knocking on his door."

  A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as Xu Haifeng coldly asked: "Who?"

  "His old friend."

  "Huh?"

  "Do you still remember that young master who was killed by him?"

  Xu Haifeng was taken aback and asked: "How did they get the news?"

  Ge Haojian was young, because of the destruction of his family, he assassinated a wicked aristocratic son in the south. From then on, he hid his name and lived in seclusion until he met Xu Haifeng, and only then did he re-emerge into the world.

  Few people knew about this secret, so how could it be discovered so coincidentally.

  Jiang Kung-ming gave a cold laugh and did not answer.

  Xu Haifeng's face turned solemn, and he let out a long sigh, no longer asking questions.

  Although it is said that there is no coincidence without a book, but the coincidence has reached this point, it is indeed difficult to believe. There must be an invisible hand behind this matter to make waves and help.

  In Wulong City, there are only a handful of people with such abilities. Among them, the most suspicious ones are the three major families led by the Fang family.

  If Xu Haifeng was in Wulong City, this matter would absolutely not have happened. However, during this period of time, Xu Haifeng was busy running around everywhere, and even Jiang Kongming, the second-in-command of the Black Flag Army, had gone to the northern border, resulting in a brief power vacuum in Wulong City, which also gave various plots and schemes an opportunity to unfold.

  This matter is indeed not trivial, and one misstep could lead to irreparable consequences. The loss of control has already approached the bottom line that Xu Haifeng can tolerate.

  "General, have those refugees been properly settled?" Xu Haifeng asked in a low voice.

  "My lord can rest assured, with Erl Dong and Tong Yifeng in charge here, these are just trivial matters." Jiang Gongming replied loudly.

  Looking around, Xu Haifeng said with a sense of reluctance: "Alas... we've only been here for a few days and now we have to leave again."

  "Since the master has decided to take matters into his own hands, those jokers are no longer a concern." Jiang Kongming comforted: "Besides, it's better to have some things settled early on."
