Since February 25, the atmosphere of war in Jinling City has gradually become stronger.

Early in the morning, Lin Feng led a hundred elite soldiers to the forbidden army training ground in the west of the city under the envious eyes of the people of Jinling City, and began to resume basic training and special training for raiding Quanzhou City.

At noon, several huge warships rushed from Chu State, and Cheng Yuehai, who stayed in Tanzhou as a special instructor, rushed over with nearly 100 special recruits and 400 elite soldiers from Chu, and joined Lin Feng, preparing to participate in the whole army's competition.

When Cheng Yuehai stood at the front of the five hundred proud Chu Di elites and confidently reported his special training results to Lin Feng, Ge Chang was a little unaccustomed to the proud appearance of his old brother, and said disdainfully: "Dead old Cheng, what have we done in the past two months?" ”

Subsequently, Ge Chang raised his fingers and loudly told them the highlights of their horses in the snow in the northern country, climbing the Great Wall and swearing, fighting with the Khitan tribe's palace tent army, the Jinzhou War, and the Shouzhou fighting method, Cheng Yuehai became more and more unsightly, and the last grabbed Lin Feng and complained: "Lord Lin, did I do something wrong?" You left me alone in Tanzhou, you missed so many wonderful things, and you just cheated me! ”

Lin Feng glanced at all the Chu Di elites who listened with envy, and said with a smile: "Who do you think the special instructor can do if he wants to?" This is the greatest trust we have in you! ”

Cheng Yuehai didn't give up, grabbed Lin Feng and didn't let go, looking like a wronged little daughter-in-law. All the Chu elites were very surprised to see that the "Cheng Yanluo" in their mouths had such a childish attitude.

Lin Feng was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, so he had to comfort him and said, "Okay, there will be more important battles that require you and your students to make great contributions, get ready!" ”

Cheng Yuehai actually wanted Lin Feng's words, and when he heard this, he immediately turned to face his students and shouted, "Everyone heard it, right?" Lord Lin has already promised, and the most important battle will be handed over to us! ”

"Xie Lu Xie Lin!" Five hundred Chu elites shouted in unison.

"Stinky boy, dare to take my army!" Lin Feng scolded with a smile, punched Cheng Yuehai, and began to step forward to shake hands with these Chudi elites one by one.

In the second row of the team, Luo Yufeng, Zhang Hongling, and Zhang Hongjing, three female special team members, greeted Lin Feng heroically, and Lin Feng asked with a smile: "How is it, no one bullied you in training, right?" ”

Luo Yufeng clenched his small fists and said loudly: "They dare?!" I castrated them! ”

Zhang Hongling stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Lord Huilin, no one bullied us!" It's just that some people always want to pester us, but they are all beaten away by the three of us! ”

Lin Feng laughed, patted them on the shoulder, and then went all the way down.

At the back of the line, there stood a somewhat thin Xi Mucheng and a young man who looked very strong.

Lin Feng hugged Xi Mucheng tightly, said "hard work", and then pointed to the young man and asked why.

Xi Mucheng immediately bowed down and introduced: "This is Huang Xi, the nephew of Huang Zongwang of Tanzhou City, who came over with his subordinates to meet Master Lin and see the world casually." ”

Lin Feng and Huang Xi greeted each other warmly, and ordered a special soldier to send Xi Mucheng and Huang Xi to his mansion first, and then turned his head and led everyone to continue training.

In the evening, three groups of 500 elite teams from all over Datang rushed to the forbidden army training ground, and the whole venue immediately became more lively. Subsequently, 150 sea falcons and two-chariot warships from the Chu State rushed to the north of Jinling City, which became a sensational event in the whole city, and many people went to the river to watch the huge warship procession.

Lin Feng and the commander of the forbidden army who was in charge of managing the training ground were so busy that they secretly gathered a hundred elites and Cheng Yuehai, Luo Yufeng and others, discussed secretly for a long time behind closed doors, and gave them a top-secret plan. That night, one hundred and ten special elites sneaked out of the training ground and disappeared into the night.

When Lin Feng, who was tired, rushed back to his mansion, he found that no one in the mansion was sleeping and was waiting for him.

Lin Feng took the handkerchief handed by Yaya and wiped his face, looked up and asked if anyone had seen his warship, Li Qiang, who had been waiting at Dajiang Wharf for a day, shook his head. Lin Feng really wondered in his heart how could such a big warship disappear out of thin air, how many years have Fang Hongtian and Fang Hongdi brothers been at sea, there shouldn't be any accidents!

Lin Feng shook his head, put the matter aside, and motioned for Xi Mucheng and Lu Jiang to go to the study with him, and Xiao Fei'er obediently spread tea for them and retreated.

Lin Feng sighed lightly and asked, "You two know each other well, right?" ”

Xi Mucheng and Lu Jiang both said that the two hit it off at first sight and admired each other very much.

Lin Feng nodded, briefly said everything about his trip north, focused on the falling out with Liu Yanzhen, and asked the opinions of the two staff.

Lu Jiang frowned, and said softly: "If you don't die if you fight a tiger, you will become a troublemaker!" The subordinates suggested that they operate secretly to promote the case to be handled as an ironclad case. ”

Xi Mucheng, who was expressionless and slowly sipping tea, suddenly asked, "I don't know what Lord Lin's next major plan is?" ”

Lin Feng smiled, pointed to the southwest, and whispered the words "Qingyuan Army".

While Lu Jiang looked startled, Xi Mucheng's face was happy, and his left finger tapped lightly on the table, bowing his head and thinking.

Lin Feng looked at Xi Mucheng with great interest.

After a while, Xi Mucheng raised his head and asked, "Your Excellency has returned with honors this time, has the Holy Lord not been promoted to the rank of Lord?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head, smiled bitterly and brought up the matter of Li Jing's intention to accept him as his son-in-law during the New Year, and directly expressed his idea that he liked Emperor Zhou E and did not want to step into the royal maelstrom. This is an obvious thing, just because he didn't express his position on the matter of joining the Li family, the "cousin" of the old Li family was also secretly snubbing himself and putting pressure on himself.

Lu Jiang's expression became more shocked and he was speechless.

Xi Mucheng's face remained unchanged, and he suddenly asked, "My lord, do you really mean that you want to be in charge of Shouzhou, or even the entire Huainan Jiangbei?" ”

Really smart people! Lin Feng applauded lightly and cast his undisguised appreciation at Xi Mucheng. Lu Jiang wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at Xi Mucheng for a while, and suddenly his expression brightened, and he nodded secretly again and again.

Xi Mucheng pondered for a moment and said, "Please forgive me!" In the past two months, the subordinates have seriously considered all the behaviors of the adults, and found that the adults are all bypasses, winning with strange tricks, but I am afraid that I don't want to step into the court battle too early, so I frequently attack outside, hoping to stabilize the position with brilliant achievements, but it is not shy that if the adults want to be in charge of the court, they must find a breakthrough in political achievements. At this time, finding a key place to show their skills and be determined to change has become the most reliable career at present. Then, Shouzhou, which happened to hit the adult's knife edge, is the best place to choose! ”

The smile on Lin Feng's face was even stronger, and he gave Xi Mucheng a thumbs up. The only trace of doubt and jealousy in Lu Jiang's heart, who suddenly realized, was swept away, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was really terrifying, and he really understood why Lin Feng was so serious about this scholar!

Xi Mucheng still looked as usual, and said slowly: "In terms of Lord Lin's martial arts and wisdom, it is needless to say that the Qingyuan army went south to win a great victory. If it is only based on military merits, it is not abrupt to be promoted to an important minister, but after all, Lord Lin is too young, and he will be promoted to such a high position in the Tang Dynasty within a year, there will inevitably be a lot of resistance, and this matter must be carefully planned. I wonder if Lord Lin can tell me the amount of power that the DPRK and China can rely on? ”

Lin Feng groaned slightly, and said the names of Situ Zhouzong, the privy deputy envoy Chang Mengxi, Xiao Yan in the matter, Jiang Wenwei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Shi Xubai, the chief doctor, and Han Xizai, a member of the Yu department, and pointed out that Zheng Wang Li Yu, Shangshu's right servant Sun Sheng, and several vice presidents of the Tang Academy of Sciences can also use one or two.

Xi Mucheng nodded slightly, and asked again, "When do you expect your lord to leave for the south?" ”

"As little as three days, no more than ten days!" Lin Feng took a sip of the tea that had cooled down and replied softly.

Xi Mucheng glanced at Lu Jiang, bowed slightly and replied, "Please allow your subordinates to discuss carefully with Brother Lu, and report to your Excellency in three days." ”

Lin Feng nodded, closed his eyes slightly, and adjusted his posture more comfortably. It's been nearly a year, and I've planned so much for Nantang and others, it's time to plan for myself!
