Fang Lingde was entrusted by Xu Haifeng to return to the Fang Mansion in Beijing, and he himself had another residence in Beijing, but if he encountered a major incident, he would still return to the Fang family's base camp to discuss with his brother.

At this time, it was noon, and Fang Lingde knew that his brother had the habit of taking a nap at noon, so he didn't bother him, just sat in the study and tasted fragrant tea while watching the Fang family's income in various places. After a meal, Fang Lingtian came to the study.

"Did you sleep well with your eldest brother?" Fang Lingde asked with a smile.

Fang Lingtian shook his head and sighed: "No, people are old and their energy is not good, I think that when the three of us brothers fought the Huns, we didn't close our eyes for three consecutive days and three nights, and I didn't feel anything, but now as long as I don't sleep well for a day, my body bones will be sore and painful, especially the injuries left when I was young are even more difficult. ”

Fang Lingde felt the same way, and said: "Yes, we are all old, and now is the time to look at the younger generation." I don't know if the third child is good in northern Xinjiang. ”

"How did your trip go?" Fang Lingtian remembered the purpose of his brother's visit to the Black Flag Military Camp and asked.

Fang Lingde laughed and said: "That little rabbit cub, it's really a human essence, saying that he is seriously ill, and asked me to go back to the two highnesses." ”

Fang Lingtian perked up and said, "I didn't expect this kid to really have some ability, not only is he a good soldier, but he also has a lot of political skills." ”

"Otherwise, I don't think it's his ability, but that he must have a counselor who is proficient in this way."

"How so?" Fang Lingtian raised his eyebrows and asked.

Fang Lingde explained the situation of meeting Xu Haifeng in detail, and then concluded: "When he just heard that the two kings were vying for the throne and might be involved, his face changed, which shows that he knows nothing about this matter and has no way to deal with it. But I only went back to the camp, and when I came out, I was already confident, and the answer I was given was the best choice. In such a short period of time, there is only one explanation, and the counsellors under his command have advised him and reassured him. ”

Fang Lingtian nodded and said, "Yes, this kid is full of talents, both civil and military." ”

"Exactly, not only that, he also recently bought a batch of military supplies from me, depending on the use, he wants to refine weapons and armor by himself." Fang Lingde stood up, took out a stack of books and handed it to his brother.

Fang Lingtian flipped a little and said: "These things are not surprising, but the world knows that the best weaponsmiths are controlled by the Su family, can the things he create be comparable to the fine products produced by the Su family?" ”

Fang Lingde said with a smile: "It's hard to say, but this kid has repeatedly created miracles, I'm waiting to see if he can surprise me and wait." ”

Flipping the scroll in his hand again, Fang Lingtian also smiled: "This kid's appetite is really not small, these materials are fortunately our family, otherwise they may not be able to be bought if you have money." If he can really refine something good, then this person's talent is immeasurable. ”

"Big brother, even now he is the leading talent among the juniors, such a heroic man should be doubly supported, but I think the relationship with him should be one step closer." Fang Lingde proposed.

"What do you mean by that?"

"If the eldest brother can accept him as a moth, then there will be no worries."

Fang Lingtian pondered for a while and said, "If I accept him as a righteous son, if he has any trouble in the future, my family will not be able to get rid of it." ”

"Does Big Brother still care about this?" Fang Lingde looked at his brother strangely, in his impression, his brother was a man who dared to act, never looked forward and backward, and stood up to the sky.

Fang Lingtian sighed and said, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." This little guy has become famous, and has become a force to be reckoned with, are there still fewer people who fight his ideas? If I accept him as a righteous son, the strength of the Fang family will stand out among the four great families, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to say. ”

Fang Lingde had never thought about this, and he pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Big brother, I'm afraid that in the eyes of outsiders at this moment, our Fang family and that little guy are already one." ”

Fang Lingtian's body sitting on the Taishi's chair stiffened, he was silent for a while, and suddenly stood up, and said arrogantly: "Yes, junior brother, you woke up the person in the dream with a word." I don't accept him as a righteous son, but I'm afraid that in the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference. In that case, why should I bother myself? I think that our Tianrong horse has been turned around a few times at the ghost gate pass in his life, and what can't he let go. No matter what his future is, I am a soldier who will block it, and the water will cover it, and I will not be able to please the offender. ”

"Okay, the eldest brother said it well, and the younger brother is not willing to be left behind, so we should take the eldest brother as the leader, and let outsiders see if our family's hundreds of years of foundation have been wasted."

The two brothers clapped each other and laughed, as if they had returned to the young age when they commanded the army, crisscrossed the battlefield, and were full of enthusiasm.

"Little brother, can you see the training of the Black Flag Army?" Fang Lingtian calmed down and asked the point.

Fang Lingde went to the Black Flag Army's garrison this time for two purposes. The first is to get the news that the two princes have given Xu Haifeng an invitation, so I specially mentioned it, and the second purpose is to observe with my own eyes how the strength of the Black Flag Army is, and whether it is as magical as the legend.

Fang Lingde said brightly: "No, the Black Flag Army is not practicing today, they are just running around the camp. ”

Looking at Nai's brother's expression, Fang Lingtian was very strange, he and this younger brother grew up together, joined the army together, and killed the enemy together, how could he not know his surname, if it wasn't for the things that made him extremely excited, he would never be so excited: "What, is there anything special about them?" ”

Fang Lingde clenched his hands into fists, slightly excited: "I have never seen such soldiers, they don't seem to be human, no, it should be said that they don't have the feelings of being human, they only know how to obey orders, and never care whether the content of the order is right or wrong." They were all the toughest men I've ever seen. Xiang Ming, this kid is right, these soldiers may only be comparable to the death squad of the Founding Emperor era. If I had been asked to command this army when I was young, the name of the Huns would have lived up to its existence. ”

Hearing that Naidi's evaluation of the Black Flag Army was so high, Fang Lingtian was also overjoyed: "Okay, as long as the Black Flag Army has this strength, I will also protect him as an envoy to the Huns and promote the prestige of my Han Dynasty." ”

"Big brother, after the end of the day, it will be Your Majesty's celebration banquet, when hundreds of officials will gather, and there will be a big competition in the army, we will propose at that time, at most, there will be a competition in front of the palace, which will definitely make Your Majesty change his mind."

"Well, the birthday of the King of the Huns is coming, our candidate must be determined as soon as possible, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, let us and the Cheng family make a break on that day. You go and inform Xu Haifeng, let him select 500 soldiers, and also join the parade, and then pick a few fierce generals to follow me. Remember, that general named Qin Yong is indispensable. The stakes are high, and we must not be careless. Fang Lingtian solemnly explained.

"Yes, the little brother will definitely do it."

Xu Haifeng didn't know about the discussion of the Fang brothers, he just got Fang Lingde's notice that he wanted to prepare the army to participate in the military parade and face the saint.

In addition, to his surprise, Fang Lingde hinted to him that Fang Lingtian, the head of the Fang family, intended to accept him as a righteous son. He was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

As for the preparation of the army, of course, it was handed over to Jiang Kongming, and he and Lin Changkong, Xu Haiming and Qin Yong learned the etiquette of the palace under the guidance of the teacher sent by the Fang family.

In the early morning of the seventh day, Xu Haifeng led five hundred soldiers to embark on the road to Beijing. When he arrived at the gate of the city, Jebe led five hundred soldiers to join the ceremonial troops, and he took the three masters of the predetermined face saint to the Fang Mansion to join Fang Lingtian and the others.

As for Jiang Kongming, he stayed in the base camp, and he did it helplessly, the bloody and drunken soldiers who could command, and at the same time had the ability to think and adapt, in addition to himself, there were only three people, Jebe, Qin Yong and Jiang Kongming. Since he and Qin Yong couldn't separate, they had to let the other two lead an army.

Rushed to Fang's mansion and found that Fang Lingtian had been waiting for a long time, Xu Haifeng jumped off the horse a few zhang away, ran quickly in front of Fang Lingtian, landed on his knees, and bowed down and said, "The child greets his father-in-law." ”

Fang Lingtian smiled and accepted Xu Haifeng's respectful three bows and nine bows, and then helped him up and said, "Okay, my son is a hero, and he has a light on his face as a father." This is a welcome gift for the Father to give you, take it. ”

Xu Haifeng took a sword from Fang Lingtian's hand, only to feel that it was extremely heavy in his hand, slightly unsheathed, but it was a black and swarthy iron sword, inconspicuous, but this color seemed to be quite familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He naturally knew that the things he sent out in Fang Lingtian's identity were definitely not ordinary, but he didn't know it himself. hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Fang Lingtian saw him like this and knew that he didn't know the origin of this sword, and said with a smile: "Wu'er, don't despise this sword, this sword is a blade used in the sand when my father was young, the name of the sword is not broken, although it cannot be sharpened like clay, but it is extremely strong, and it has not been damaged for decades, it is the best weapon for charging into battle, and it is said that it is still cast by Master Lu Fengxian, a master of the first generation of grandmasters." ”

"Ah......" Hearing him say this, Xu Haifeng suddenly remembered why he looked at this sword and felt familiar, it turned out that the color of the sword body of this sword was exactly the same as the Open Heaven Bow in Jebe's hand, it turned out to be from the hands of Master Lu Fengxian, no wonder it was the same as the Open Heaven Bow, it can be invulnerable, and it has not been worn out for decades, and it is estimated that even the casting materials are taken from the same variety.

Unexpectedly, Fang Lingtian, a cheap father, was such a valuable thing, Xu Haifeng bowed respectfully again, and said sincerely: "Thank you father for the sword, the child will definitely live up to the name of this sword." ”
