As the nest of the Feng family, this Gaozhou has been operated for several generations, and with the manpower and material support of several surrounding states and counties that are also under Feng An, it is indeed much more prosperous than the other Lingnan prefectures and counties seen along the road. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion alone is that the population of this Gaozhou City is about to exceed the total population of many states and counties, of which the Feng family itself has contributed most of it.

After Shi Lei really entered the Feng family's manor, he understood what a luxurious life was, and the new manor he was proud of was nothing at all in front of the manor that occupied half of the city.

Except for Feng An's family and his more than thirty sons, this manor, which is not a very small manor in the city, has tens of thousands of servants alone, and the elite Lingnan warriors stationed there are even more ordinary

Shi Lei and his dozens of subordinates threw it inside, and they couldn't even turn up a wave, and each of Feng An's sons lived alone in the small courtyard, and there were more than just a few people at Shi Lei's hands.

Just looking at this configuration, except for the lower specifications, all other aspects are not much worse than the imperial city that Shi Lei has been guarding. In terms of the number of people alone, it is even twice as large as the Imperial City, and the level of luxury is also excessive.

In this separate courtyard arranged for Shi Lei, all kinds of treasures can be seen everywhere, not to mention that they are not uncommon.

When he arrived here, Shi Lei realized how pitiful his little family background was, and he was not even qualified to carry shoes for others. Maybe if you add all the belongings, you can be stronger than a certain son who is more favored by Feng An, and you don't need to compare with Feng An.

What kind of life is this life, the small life that is extremely satisfying in front of others is definitely dwarfed in front of others, even Shi Lei's contented and happy temperament feels deeply stimulated.

But who makes the family the emperor of the soil, or the standard dictatorship, and everyone in their own territory can be taken by life and death at will, and it is not enough to say that it will not go over when the days are too bad.

Shi Lei also knew where Feng An's confidence came from, even if Luozhou and Gaozhou lived next to each other, and there was a rebellion, Feng Ang was not really as hot as he appeared.

When he was in a hurry, he was indeed running all the way, but in fact, after entering his own territory, Feng Ang consciously or unconsciously slowed down his pace. Nominally, of course, it is to give Shi Lei more time to adapt, for fear that they will fall behind.

In fact, Shi Lei felt that it was not out of the actual ruling area of the Tang Dynasty, and when he reached the territory where he could confidently control his own destiny, he no longer had to worry about being surrounded and suppressed by the Tang Dynasty at any time, or being killed by the garrison of a certain place casually, so there was no need to worry about the future, and there was no need to run away in a panic.

Although Feng Ang was still verbally, talking to Shi Lei, a companion who was a bit of a prisoner, about his worries about rebellion, he also pretended to ask Shi Lei, how this fierce general who never knew what the strategy was, how to capture those traitors, and how to appease the local bureaucrats after that.

But after really returning to his own manor, just looking at his movements, you can know that this person is not as anxious as he deliberately showed before.

Feng Ang was even in the mood to summon more than 30 of his sons and a group of confidants and generals after Shi Lei settled in the Feng family manor, and held a welcome ceremony together to welcome Shi Lei, the imperial court envoy.

The reason why Shi Lei is said to be a "special envoy" is because the position of Shi Lei in this mission is relatively vague in the holy decree, and it is only said that he should assist Feng Ang in his counterinsurgency work, perhaps more to give Feng Ang peace of mind and show him the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards the Feng family.

Or there is also the meaning of letting Shi Lei guarantee Feng An's safety on the road in Datang. After all, Feng Ang rushed to Chang'an this time, in order to show his loyalty, he did not lead the brigade to go, only brought his personal guards, which can be regarded as a weak defense.

The Tang Dynasty is also afraid that some people with intentions will leave an opportunity to kill Feng Ang, and Lingnan will have to become a source of turmoil.

It is conceivable that as soon as Feng Ang dies, not only those bureaucrats under his rule will completely deviate from the Tang Dynasty, but also the other vassal states of the Tang Dynasty and the aliens who are attached to them will have a lot of different thoughts, which is a major matter related to the reputation and prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

However, there are still many people who may do this, whether it is that they cannot see the further rise of Datang and thus threaten their national security, or they may be neighbors who have had any trouble with Datang, or they may be other superpowers that want to contain Datang's hegemony and further consolidate it.

Even the restless guys in Datang who want to create some incidents or excuses, as well as those extreme hawkish warriors, are all suspects who may do this kind of thing.

It's just that I don't know if Shi Lei and his subordinates are too deterrent, or Li Shimin has arranged a lot of actions in private, in short, Shi Lei and their return trip have never encountered any unsightly guys. After entering the territory of Lingnan, there will be no cats and dogs running out.

Although there are fewer people in this kind of place, the relative relationship is also simpler, and the local people will be more united, which of course also means that they have a little bit of xenophobia.

In short, it is unrealistic for any outsider to want to infiltrate this place, without taking any drastic measures, to ambush Feng An, the real head snake, if someone really does it, Feng Ang will definitely receive some rumors.

Moreover, after Feng Ang returned to his own territory, the power was naturally very different, if it weren't for the existence of Shi Lei, his own soldiers would be able to run out of the territory to pick him up, and with Shi Lei's company, these troops could only gradually converge to Feng An's side.

Every time he passes through a state or county, the team around him will grow by a point, and when he comes to the old nest in Gaozhou, the team around Feng Ang is nearly 10,000 people, and the style of the local tyrant is leaky.

Therefore, after entering the Lingnan range, Shi Lei appreciated the completely different customs and customs here with peace of mind, and by the way, he remembered the parts of what he saw that were important.

There are some things that cannot be seen only from the data on paper, and you have to feel it yourself to understand what kind of state the local area is.

Anyway, Shi Lei came over and walked on this journey, and the most obvious feeling is that if Datang wants to truly recover this land, it has a long way to go. Especially if you want Lingnan locals to completely return to Datang, there must be a long way to go.

Although he was busy planning and staggering, Shi Lei was inevitably a little distracted, the reason why the Feng family could have such an enviable, jealous and hateful life of a local tyrant was inseparable from the current status quo in Lingnan.

And if you want to change this situation, there are too many things to consider, and it is definitely not something that Shi Lei's head can solve. Instead, he asked him to take his subordinates to clean up all the leading figures in Lingnan in this luxurious banquet hall, and Shi Lei was more confident that he could complete it.

It's just that if you do it so blatantly, the at least 10,000 or 20,000 guard sergeants outside will have to eat Shi Lei alive.

So Shi Lei had no choice but to put aside this little reverie and continue to deal with the many Feng family members who were actually not very interested in his group.

Looking at the attitude of the more than 30 sons of the Feng family, it is not difficult to understand, if it weren't for the halo of the "special envoy" on his head, and if it wasn't for Feng An's request, these Feng family members probably wouldn't mind having a good discussion with Shi Lei and them, carefully checking his quality as the first fierce general of the younger generation of Datang, and seeing if it was the name blown by Datang.

Shi Lei doesn't mind suppressing the spirit of this group of people, but now this banquet is obviously not suitable, and the venue where he is welcome to come has been smashed, how bad it is to say this, so it is better for everyone to make an appointment alone.

Shi Lei can't help but substitute himself into the protagonist mode of the well-known novels of later generations, the Legend of the Double Dragon series of the Tang Dynasty, what he is facing now is not the prototype of the Lingnan Song family in the book, singled out the Song family, will it be very accomplished?
