"Don't worry, my lord, my Gu family is such a person who doesn't know the importance. We will return to Bashan at once, and after a little preparation, we will send our men to Northern Luzon. Gu Yunzhong is full of confidence in the quality of the people in his sect.

"Very good, I already have a handwritten letter here, you can go directly to Mu Haoran, the city guard of Vito City, and Lu Man, the city guard of Shuangdui City. I hope that after you settle down in Northern Luzon, you will not only develop among the Tang people, but also foreign people such as the Andean, Indean, Cooper, and Prich people, so that the reputation of our Tang River martial arts will spread to all ethnic groups in the Central Continent. Wu Feng handed the letter to Gu Yunzhong, and Gu Yunzhong carefully stored the letter.

Gu Yunzhong's face showed a solemn look: "The meaning of the adults has been taken care of, and they will never live up to the expectations of the adults." ”

"My lord, are you returning to Beijing this time?" Yan Qing asked about Wufeng's itinerary while being happy.

"Well, I returned to Beijing to report the Luzon War to the Imperial Court. What happened to Mr. Gu and his entourage when the end of the year was approaching?" Wu Feng asked casually.

"Alas, don't hide it from your lord, the Gu family has not been in a good situation in the past few years, and Gu is running around to find another way to revive the Gu family. Gu Yunzhong still couldn't suppress his excitement.

"There are talents like Mr. Gu and Mr. Yan, and there are many disciples in the sect, and I believe that Everbright has a future. Wu Feng encouraged.

"Thank you for your compliment, it is the greatest opportunity for the revitalization of the Gu family to be favored by adults. "Gu Yunzhong is worthy of being the master of a family, and he speaks very well.

"I see that your disciples' martial arts knowledge is extraordinary, why don't you think about serving the empire?" Wu Feng deliberately poked Gu Yunzhong's sore spot again.

"Why don't the grass people have the heart to serve the country? But the children of the Gu family are all from the common people, there are few scholars, Xie Chengshou has made things difficult for many years, where is there a place for the Gu family to serve him?" Speaking of Xie Wuyong, Rao is Gu Yunzhong couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"If the adults can have this heart, the children of the Gu family dare not swear to serve their lives?!" Yan Qing had already heard Wu Feng's voice.

After a slight gesture, Wu Feng smiled slightly: "I also have this intention, there are many heroes in the Gu family, and the pearl is secretly invested, isn't it a pity?"

"Thank you, sir!" the two stood up and bowed again in gratitude.

"I am about to return to Beijing to report on my work this time, and if the Gu family has suitable talents, they can let them intern in my guards now, so I can adapt to it first. ”

"The dog climbs the clouds, the civil and military affairs are acceptable, I don't know if it can enter the eyes of adults?" Gu Yunzhong immediately recommended his eldest son Gu Dengyun, who can be favored by Wufeng, and will enter the career in the future, with a bright future, far better than mixing in the rivers and lakes.

"I think he is shrewd and capable, quite a father, and he should be able to do it. Wu Feng replied quietly.

"The grass people thanked the dog first. Gu Yunzhong seems to be a few years younger, "There are still many capable disciples in this sect, and they did not come out with the grass people this time, and after the grass people returned to Bashan, they immediately arranged to come." ”

"Hmm. Wu Feng nodded slightly, "You can ask them to come to Beijing directly, I think I may have to stay in Yanjing for a while." ”

When Gu Yan and the others came out of Wufeng's room and returned to their residence, the joy on their faces made many disciples feel extremely surprised, both of them were people who were moody and angry, especially the head of the family usually saw a smile that was rare for many years, and it could be said that it was rare to see such a happy appearance today.

When the two returned to the room, they immediately closed the door and arranged for the disciple to notify Yuntai and Gu Dengyun to come to discuss.

Although Yuntai and Gu Dengyun did not participate in the discussion of the women, they also wanted to find out the clues of Wufeng's identity from the conversation of the women in Guan Hua, so they quietly hid aside and pricked up their ears to listen.

"Dad, Third Uncle. ”

"I've seen two senior brothers. ”

As soon as the two stepped into the door, they found that the expressions of the two people in the room were different from usual, and the two elders in the door, who had always been calm, were actually full of excitement.

"Come, fourth, Dengyun, we have important matters to discuss immediately. Gu Yunzhong calmed down a little, and greeted the two emotionally.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Gu Dengyun saw his father beaming with joy and said that there was something important, so he hurriedly asked.

After clearing his throat, Gu Yunzhong motioned to Yuntai to see if anyone was eavesdropping around, and then he spoke: "This time thanks to the third child's wisdom, otherwise our Gu family would have lost a great opportunity." The real identity of that young man named Li Feng is Li Wufeng, the military and political envoy of the Northwest Military and Political Authority of the Empire, Lord Li! We have already negotiated with Master Li, and Lord Li has agreed that our Gu family will enter his territory to develop, and it will be in the Northern Luzon region that he has just occupied!"

Yuntai and Gu Dengyun were stunned by this sudden good news and were speechless.

"Dengyun, I have already agreed with Lord Li, Lord Li agrees with you to join his guards, you will pack up in a while, follow Lord Li into Beijing, remember, don't fall into the name of our Bashan Gu family, this is the first thing related to the growth of our Gu family." Gu Yunzhong didn't care about explaining much, just told Gu Dengyun.

Yan Qing next to him also introduced the origin of the matter to Yuntai.

After learning of such good things, Yuntai and Gu Dengyun couldn't help but be overjoyed, especially when Gu Dengyun thought that he could join Wufeng's command, he had a bright future, and he hated to become a member of Wufeng's guards immediately, in order to make contributions as soon as possible.

However, Yuntai and Gu Dengyun also had doubts, why did such a good thing fall on them? When the two of them expressed their doubts, Yan Qing and Gu Yunzhong exchanged glances and said: "Without him, each has his own needs, if he wants to use the power of our Gu family to help our Tang people consolidate their rule, we also need territory to develop and grow, this is a win-win cooperation, why not?" However, this Master Li is thoughtful, I am afraid it is not so simple, but in any case, this is a good opportunity for us, as long as our interests are in his interests, I believe we can make a difference. ”

"My lord, my subordinates don't understand why they want to let the Gu family enter Northern Luzon for development? Wouldn't it be better to let them stay in Kansai to serve the adults? There are so many sects in the imperial martial arts, why did the adults choose this Gu family?" After Gu Yan and the others left, Song Tianxiong couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

"Tianxiong, you should take a long-term view of things, and don't care about the gains and losses of this immediate benefit. Yes, the Gu family may not be considered a first-class sect in the imperial martial arts, and it stands to reason that it will not be their turn to enter the Northern Luzon to develop and expand their power, but if you think about it, this is just the first step, as for the future, there will definitely be many sects to enter and compete with them, and it will depend on their own abilities at that time. Wu Feng walked to the window and gently pushed the window open, it was beginning to snow outside, and goose feathers were fluttering, and the scene in front of him was extremely peaceful.

"The territory of North Luzon is vast, equivalent to the size of most of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, but the population plus the Gaoyue talents who have only been included in the management are more than 2 million, which is less than a province in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most important thing is that the Tang people account for less than one-fifth of the more than 2 million people, and the rest are other ethnic groups, and this area has been under the management of the Luzon people for a long time, and the Andean people also account for a large proportion, we have just gained a foothold, and the foundation is not solid, and there must be many forces dissatisfied with our rule and management. My idea is to let the Gu family take the lead first, and then let some big sects follow up and develop, combined with our immigration policy, try to attract as many Tang people as possible into this area, and then use these Jianghu sects to serve us, so that our control can be strengthened. Wu Feng's voice was deep but clearly deliberate.

"This Gu family is now facing a predicament, is in need of help, I give them a little sweetness at this time, let them occupy the development of the first hand, they will inevitably swear to the death, as for the sect that enters in the future to regain the opportunity, it will also rely more on the power of the government, in this way, as long as we can grasp the policy balance, flexible balance, and cooperate with the implementation of other policies, it will be of great help to our rule in Northern Luzon." Wu Feng didn't intend to say these details, but he greatly appreciated Song Tianxiong, this person was loyal to him, and Tao strategy and martial arts were quite outstanding, but he had always been in the army, and he was not familiar with the means and methods used at the political level, Wu Feng also wanted to take this opportunity to give him a good touch, so that he could analyze and consider the problem from more angles and at a deeper level, which would also be of great benefit to his future development.

Song Tianxiong suddenly realized, he was even more convinced of Wu Feng's far-reaching plan, and he was even more grateful to Wu Feng for his advice, "Thank you for your advice, my subordinates understand." ”

The next thing was logical, Gu Dengyun immediately changed his clothes and joined Wufeng's guards, and Gu Yunxia saw his brother join the ranks of the guards after learning Li Wufeng's true identity, and he was even more unrelenting, twisting his father to go to Yanjing with Wufeng and his party, Gu Yunzhong didn't want to agree, but a vague idea flashed in his mind, and he agreed to Gu Yunxia's request, just asking him to ask for Wufeng's consent.

In the case of Gu Yunxia's pleas, Wu Feng, who pretended to be pretending, had no reason to refuse, secretly rejoiced, and happily agreed to Gu Yunxia's request, and asked her to protect the safety of the girls with Qin Shuangying and become the additional bodyguards of Wu Feng's party.

Gu Yunzhong and Yan Qing Yuntai immediately led many of their disciples to rush back to Bashan, actively making various preparations, and just waiting for the Spring Festival to pass before arranging for people to set off to Northern Luzon to open up a new foundation.

The itinerary for the next few days was also calm, Gu Dengyun quickly adapted to his new post after joining the Guards, and Gu Yunxia also fought with several women, especially with Qin Shuangying, who found a common language, the two daughters often learned martial arts together, the martial arts of the Snow Mountain School are known for their feminine changes, and the Gu family's kung fu focuses on swordsmanship and light skills, and the kung fu of the two is comparable.

All the way through the state and the mansion, and soon arrived at Hejian Mansion, Guan Yingying reluctantly parted from everyone, and entered Jinzhong Mansion, Hua Yumei also embarked on the road back to her hometown in Jiangnan under the escort of many guards.

On January 27th, Wu Feng and his entourage finally returned to Yanjing Zhongzhou, which had been absent for a long time, looking at the majestic city gate, standing in front of the city gate, Wu Feng's heart fluctuated, and it was more than two years of farewell, this prosperous Yanjing City did not seem to have changed much, it was still a crowd of people, busy traffic, a prosperous scene. But thinking of what he saw and heard along the way, Wu Feng knew deeply that behind this glitz and glamour, there was an indescribable crisis, the [***] of officials at all levels, the hardships of the people's lives, the looseness of the officers and soldiers of the army, and the development of evil and crooked ways like a spark.

Seeing that his master was reading the side of the road, Song Tianxiong didn't dare to disturb, so he had to endure the surname Kuhou, the saline-alkali land was almost noon, and Wufeng still had no intention of entering the city, Song Tianxiong couldn't help but come behind Wufeng and asked: "My lord, it's noon, look ''''''?"

"Don't worry, let's rest at the inn outside the city tonight, and it's not too late for us to enter the city early tomorrow morning. Wu Feng woke up from his contemplation, shook his head and said, "After dinner, you send someone to the Canglang Study on Fuxing Avenue, give this thing to their person in charge, and then tell them that I will wait for him outside the city." Wu Feng took out a metal mark from his arms and handed it to Song Tianxiong.
