Under the imperial seal of His Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Administration was extremely efficient, and the next day, a notice was sent to the administrative organs at all levels in the Empire through the express post to confer the title of Marquis of Wufeng Baisheng and appoint him to the post of Castle Warden of Qingyang Prefecture in the Northwest County of the Empire. And the news that Wu Feng led the Emperor [***] team to defeat the Luo Pei army also spread quickly throughout the Eastern Continent and the Central Continent like wings, and all forces have detected and spied out, and even attracted the attention of the powerful countries of the Western Continent and several other nomads on the Tengger Prairie-

Out of the east gate of the Imperial Palace, there is the Victory Square of Yanjing and Triumph Square, and the avenue ahead is the Victory Avenue that is famous for Triumph Avenue. At the end of Shengli Avenue, there is a magnificent building complex, red walls and blue tiles, majestic gates, strict guards, and royal markings, which is the residence of Situ Tai, the eldest prince of the Tang River Emperor Situ Mingyue——

In a spacious living room in the backyard, Situ Tai was lying comfortably on a leisurely chair, and two beautiful maids were gently beating Situ Tai's legs. "Your Highness, Mr. Leng and Lord Frey have arrived. "Oh, let them in. Situ Tai sat up and waved his hand to signal the two maids to step back. Two guests walked in, "See Your Highness." The two of them saluted at the same time, "Excuse me, excuse me, what kind of salute are the three of us." Situ Tai greeted the two affectionately-

On the left is an old man over fifty years old, whose body is thin and skinny, and his back is slightly hunched, but his spirit is very bright, and a pair of half-closed eyes show a glimmer of essence from time to time, while the other person is in stark contrast to him, burly, with big ears, full of energy, and a look of not being angry but mighty. The old man is the eldest prince Situ Tai's first strategist, Leng Yu, and the middle-aged man is the deputy commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard Legion, Count Frey, and also Situ Tai's henchman-

"Both of them know the situation of this empire's expedition to the west, I don't want to say more, the news published in the major newspapers yesterday must be clear to the two, yesterday the emperor has appointed the guy named Li Wufeng as the city guard of Qingyang Mansion, at that time the father was very interested, no one dared to put forward a different opinion, and if he did, he could only ask for hardship, Yuan Ning, a fool, was useless at all. The situation has changed rapidly in the past few days, and I am very worried, so I have come today to hear your views on the current situation and what countermeasures we should take. Situ Tai seemed to be in a bad mood-

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth coldly: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, the six mansions of the Northwest County are not under the control of our people except for the Taixuan Mansion, and there is no need to blame Yuan Ning too much, he is just a civil official, where have you seen that kind of formation." This time, it is not a good thing for us that the emperor appointed this Li Wufeng as the city guard of Qingyang, yesterday I have already arranged for someone to go down to investigate, and today I have already returned some information, and I also want to report to His Highness. ”——

"Oh? "Situ Tai immediately came to the spirit-

"This Li Wufeng was born in a declining scholar family in Yanjing, his parents have long since died, and now Yanjing has no relatives for him. It is said that his rapid promotion had a lot to do with the appreciation of Hocker, the commander of the 3rd Division at that time, and he was able to put it into play in 689 when he quelled the rebellion in the three northern counties, and wiped out more than 3,000 enemy troops with a brigade of less than 1,000 troops, and no one on his side was killed, which caused a sensation in the army at that time, so he was promoted to the wing captain of the 4th Wing of the 3rd Division of the Imperial City Guard Corps, and was awarded the Imperial 3-Star Medal of Honor。 In this Western Expedition campaign, he was arranged to escort the logistics materials and grain and grass needed by the army, so he went to the back, when the grain and grass troops led by him arrived in Qingyang, the imperial Western Expedition army had been defeated, and his troops were trapped in the city of Qingyang, who knew that this guy and the people of the city hugged together, fought to the death, and sent a small force to burn the grain and grass supplies of the Luope people, so the Luope people were forced to retreat. Leng frowned and finished introducing the information he had obtained-

"I can't see that Hocker is a waste but still has the wisdom to know people, so this Li Wufeng is really a general, and he actually blocked the attack of several times the army of the Luope people. Frey admired Wu Feng's military prowess—

"It's too early to assert that the army attacking by the Luope people this time is mainly cavalry, and there are some losses for the siege, and the intelligence reflects that Tu Da, the main general of the Luope people at that time, has also returned to China, otherwise it is difficult to say who wins and who loses. "The cold analysis is quite accurate—

"No matter who he is, what is in front of him is that this Li Wufeng served as the city guard of Qingyang Mansion, and he also has the support of the locals, that position is quite important, I have to try to find a way to make him use it for me, otherwise I have to find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible." A cold look appeared on Situ Tai's face—

"People have weaknesses, it just depends on what they are. A sneer also appeared on Leng Yan's face-

"Oh, so Leng Lao is already sure?" Situ Tai perked up-

"It's still too early to say that, but according to the intelligence, when this Li Wufeng was studying at the Imperial Affairs Academy, he had a close relationship with two beautiful female college students from the Imperial University, and he also had a very close relationship with one of the three famous flowers of the Imperial High Society. It seems that this Li Wufeng is still a wind seed. A smile also appeared on the face of the cold, who had always kept a straight face—

"Which flower is closely related to?" Situ Tai was a little anxious, he was not jealous of Wufeng, but worried that Wufeng had a connection with his thirteenth sister Situ Yushuang, because Situ Yushuang and his ninth brother Situ Lang were born to the same mother, and the relationship was naturally much closer, and his ninth brother was one of the favorable contenders for his heir to the throne, if that was the case, it would be very unfavorable to himself-

As if he had seen through Situ Tai's thoughts, he comforted Situ Tai coldly: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, he has a close relationship with Miss Angel of the Huey family." ”——

"It's Angel," Situ Tai breathed a sigh of relief, "So this guy is a womanizer, then it's easy to do, I'm afraid he doesn't have a hobby, women, how much, how many, what kind of want, what kind of things." ”——

"Is it a womanizer, this is not necessarily, there is no normal man who doesn't like women, but he prefers women, but it is certain, we can do what he likes from this aspect, I hope he is a person who understands the times. The cold half-closed eyes showed a hint of murder-

"Then we have to do our work as soon as possible, it is estimated that the Third Highness, the Seventh Highness and the Ninth Highness will soon grasp these situations, especially the Ninth Highness, the Thirteenth Princess is very tempting. Frey, who hadn't spoken much, interjected—

"That's not necessarily, the thirteenth sister is just famous, if you want to talk about beauty, such a big imperial capital, it can be said to be a carp crossing the river, what kind of no, it depends on which type he likes. Situ Tai wasn't worried about this—

"Although this Li Wufeng wants to attract our attention now, it doesn't have to take too much effort, after all, he is still just a city guard in a small border mansion, but the Lin family and the Lang family have to attract our attention, both of them claim to form their own second legion, with ill intentions. Leng sighed, "In addition, the Second Army Corps of the Northern Military Region under our control has suffered heavy losses this time, and it will take some effort to reorganize." ”——

A few miles away on Huachang Avenue, in a group of buildings with elegant environment and unique shapes, a young man with a cold white face and short beard sat in the center of the hall, surrounded by two people on both sides, "Third Highness, are you in such a hurry to summon us, but because of yesterday's court discussion?" A beautiful young woman in her thirties asked with a coquettish smile, this young woman is not simple, but Audrey, the sister of Duke Bauer, the patriarch of the Willis family among the five major families in the empire, and there is a "nine-tailed scorpion" in the upper class of the empire 's nickname, not only scheming, but also ruthless, also has a say in the think tank of the third prince Situ Jun-

"Exactly, I invite you to come here today to discuss the current situation, and you can also talk about what measures we will take next. Situ Jun didn't talk much, and his voice was a little cold, but everyone here knew that his master was born like this-

"Let's ask Qiu Lao to speak first. Audrey's watery eyes glanced at the first gray-clothed old man on the left, who was dressed very frugally, but neatly, and as soon as he entered, he fell into a state of contemplation—

Situ Jun's eyes immediately looked at the old man in gray, "The old man hasn't thought about it yet, so let's talk about it first." The old man in gray was very calm, as if he didn't know that everyone's eyes were on him—

Audrey no longer shirked, "Now the situation of the empire is clear to everyone, the empire's western expedition has been defeated, and more than 200,000 troops have almost been wiped out, among which the loss of the second army of His Royal Highness is not small, and the third army of the Western Military Region is almost negligible, which is actually not harmful to us, on the contrary, our strength has not been damaged in the slightest, and we are more advantageous compared to the two." However, now the northwest region is in a blank, and His Royal Highness's forces only control Taixuan Mansion, but this Li Wufeng served as the city guard of Qingyang Mansion, which is very unexpected, and that position is a place where soldiers must fight, it is very important, according to the current situation, this person seems to have nothing to do with the various factions and important people in the DPRK and China, it seems very simple, we have to hurry up and control this person in our hands, and we can't let His Highness, His Highness the Seventh and His Highness the Ninth take the lead. As for the Lin family in the south, it is not surprising that the target must be the Kansai region. It's Lang Yongquan's attitude, his attitude is a bit incomprehensible, he announced the expansion of the army, which is understandable, but the Lin family clearly wants to go west, which means that it is to relieve the worries, then Lang Yongquan's position is worth considering. After finishing speaking, Audrey also looked a little puzzled-

"There is nothing suspicious, Lang Yongquan is also a person who is unwilling to ambush, in the past few years, he has worked hard to rectify the economy and make a good appearance, but fortunately, we and he are just using each other, if you want to achieve great things, you still have to have your own strength. Now the top priority is to seize the opportunity, take advantage of the time when His Royal Highness's hand has not fully reached into the Northwest County to envelop this Li Wufeng, I understand, this person seems to be quite talented in military affairs, and he is also very popular with the soldiers in his troops, our strength in the north is too weak, if we can turn this person into our person, then we are quite a nail in the north controlled by His Highness, and I judge that this person is still very promising in the Northwest County, His Majesty first admired him, the Northwest County guard has not been a suitable candidate, and there is really hope for this kid。 The premise, of course, is that he can hold off the iron hooves of the Ropes and the Motts. These situations must also be clear to several other highnesses, so we have to hurry up and carry out it. At present, the work that is about to be done is to collect all of Li Wufeng's personal information, his surname, hobbies, hobbies, tastes, what he dislikes, what relatives and friends he has in his hometown, everything, even what color underwear he likes, must be collected for me meticulously, and there is no room for error. This is necessary for us to analyze him, encircle him, and control him. As for the Lin and Lang families, they strengthened surveillance and sat back and watched the changes. The old man in gray, who had not spoken much, after Audrey finished speaking, he told the plan that had been considered in one go, and he knew that his master hated going around in circles-

"Very good, what Qiu Lao said, is with me, Mao Renlong, Xu Fei, you two should handle it immediately, there must be no mistake. Situ Jun's words were concise and to the point, without dragging his feet in the slightest.
