Before the Shentang was able to intervene, Deng Aihou defeated his father Deng Rong in just two days, captured the branch city, and integrated the forces in the Iwakura Palace.

The city was handed over to Deng Aihou's deputy, Hua Zongdai, to guard it.

All the wealthy clans who supported Deng Rong in the war, the general leaders had been killed in the siege battle, and then Deng Aihou sent people to confiscate the territory. Some Hao clansmen tried to use their own village as a stronghold to resist stubbornly, but the result was undoubtedly to hit the stone with an egg, and was burned to the ground by Lian Ren Zhuang Zhuang to the ground, and the whole family died.

When Su Mengzhen, the master of the Divine Hall, heard about this, he also sent a messenger to question, but the answer was that Deng Rong had already died of madness, and the shadow warrior Si Renping pretended to be Deng Rong and summoned the Hao clan to launch a rebellion, which has been pacified.

Su Mengzhen was recently defeated by Xue Yiren of Tianzi Peak, and he was unable to attack the Iwakura Hall again, so it was difficult to do more to investigate and appease Deng Aihou a few words.

Deng Aihou held a grand funeral for his father Deng Rong, of course, the body at the funeral was actually the shadow warrior Si Renping. The real Deng Rong was pricked with a needle to erase his memory, and after abolishing most of his skills and disfigurement, he was exiled to a small mountain village in Bingzhou.

In this battle, Deng Aihou's army lost more than 200 regular warriors and nearly 1,000 militiamen. At the same time, more than 2,000 people were killed for following Deng Rong.

In the chaos, most of the materials in the sub-city were snatched away by the leaders of the Hao clan and the soldiers, and in order to appease the army, Deng Aihou was not easy to pursue.

It can be said that after this battle, the forces of Iwakura Hall can be said to have suffered heavy losses. In order to extinguish the mouth, Deng Aihou almost slaughtered the city, and after cleaning up the corpses, he had to mobilize masters and soldiers from the main city to defend the city, which weakened the defense of the main city.

Moreover, as soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold, and although the war only lasted two days before it ended, the loss of siege weapons, swords and armor, bows and arrows, the pensions of the dead in the battle, and the rewards of the meritorious were all a lot of expenses.

For these things, Deng Aihou can be said to be very busy.

But he still didn't forget to send Hua Zongdai to Tianzi Peak to try to form an alliance with Xue Yiren.

Hua Zongdai will go with his adopted son, Song Shannei.

Song Shannei woke Wu Feng up from the state of woman's benevolence on the battlefield, which can be said to have saved Wu Feng's life, and now the two are already excellent friends.

Before leaving, Wu Fengshen mysteriously handed Song Shannei a note. "I went to Hanzhong and helped me investigate something. ”

"What is it?" said Song Shannei with a sunny smile.

"Some historical sources. Knowing ourselves and knowing our opponents, we will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and if we want to deal with Tianzi Peak, we can't be ignorant......" Wu Feng said with a smile.

Song Shannei suddenly leaned into Wu Feng's ear and whispered: "Xie Yi, the prince Deng Sanshi doesn't have a good impression of you, be careful." ”

"I know, but thank you Yamauchi for reminding me. Wu Feng replied in a low voice.

Deng Sanshi was born with a ruthless and jealous appearance, and he never showed any good looks to Wu Feng. Wu Feng naturally understood that this was because he had made great contributions when he first entered Iwakura, and he was extremely valued by Deng Aihou, which caused Deng Sanshi's jealousy.

If it was a conventional conspirator like Xue Yiren, maybe he would try to curry favor with Deng Sanshi, resolve Deng Sanshi's hatred for himself, and make it easier for him to seize power in Iwakura.

But Wu Feng is a proud character who would rather bend than bend, unless it is a matter of life and death, he is never willing to bend his knees easily. He wanted to see now if he could oppose Deng Sanshi and gain Deng Aihou's trust and seize Iwakura!

......

Deng Aihou's inner chamber.

"This is your new letter of appointment, with the merit of killing Mo Cangli and enabling our army to win a quick victory, you will be awarded the title of military advisor and the commander of the white-clothed battalion, and you will officially take office half a month later. Deng Aihou patted Wu Feng on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to go to the Drawing Pavilion in the future."

Deng Aihou handed Wu Feng a new sealed document and a map showing the fiefdom. Wu Feng saw that the new fiefdom included five villages, including Liyu Village and Liyang Village, and an ancient town, Jifeng Town, and the people under Wu Feng's jurisdiction reached nearly 4,000 in the blink of an eye, with 50 of their own private soldiers, including the militia, of course.

The new fiefdom is connected to Panlong Village, and with Wu Feng's foot strength, it can be walked from Iwakura City in a short time, which is very convenient for operation and management.

"Do your best. I just worked in the Drawing Pavilion for more than a month, and I didn't produce any results, so I am ashamed. Wu Feng replied, without saying half a word of thanks.

These are obtained by Wu Feng relying on his own ability, and for Deng Aihou, "doing your best" is definitely much more valuable than "Xie Zhu Longen".

And Wu Feng is an extremely strong person, his days in the Drawing Pavilion are only enough to learn the basics, and it is naturally impossible to come up with any eye-catching results, but it is difficult for him to accept it.

"Haha......" Deng Aihou said: "You just need to do a good job as a strategist, those idle things, someone to do, the upper is used, the lower is used, a person only has two hands and a head, how can he do everything well?"

After accepting the appointment, Wu Feng asked someone about the situation of the white-clothed camp.

"As expected. Wu Feng muttered to himself.

Although this reward is not rich compared to Wu Feng's contribution to the Valley of Forgotten Worries and the design to defeat Deng Rong. However, Wu Feng's two credits are shady and cannot be announced.

The credit that can be taken on the table is nothing more than killing Mo Cangli, an important minister under Deng Rong's command.

It stands to reason that Deng Sanshi only needs to say a few words to cut off most of his reward.

But the letter of appointment was sent to Wu Feng in this way, and there must be a demon if something is abnormal.

It turned out that the white-clothed camp was indeed a fat poor, but Wu Feng's strength might not be able to withstand it.

The White Clothes Battalion is a newly formed elite unit of the Iwakura Temple, and its members are generally from the slaves of the Iwakura Temple.

For example, the personal disciples of Deng Aihou and others directly became junior officers among the samurai when they became adults. And these slaves are also selected young men with acceptable qualifications, and they can often get the guidance of the masters in the palace, which is not comparable to those wild warriors outside the palace.

Therefore, the individual combat effectiveness of the white-clothed battalion is in the forefront of the Iwakura Palace. It's just that these slaves have been messing around in the temple for too long, and they have developed the disposition of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, which is really not easy to greet.

It can't be said that Deng Sanshi entered the slander again and asked Wu Feng to go to the white-clothed camp. With Wu Feng's cultivation of exchanging the Blood Realm for a heavy sky, it was difficult to suppress that group of arrogant soldiers.

Deng Aihou had the idea of testing Wu Feng, and Deng Sanshi looked at Wu Feng to make a fool of himself.

"Interesting. Wu Feng smiled and said to himself.

It's a lot of fun to have new challenges.

......

Nine days later, Hua Zongdai and Song Shanuchi returned to Iwakura.

At Wu Feng's new residence, Song Shannei handed Wu Feng a thick pile of materials.

The paper is the cheapest yellow paper, only slightly better than the straw paper used to wipe the butt in the toilet, but the words are written quickly and neatly, neatly in rows, but the smooth strokes can be seen to be written quickly.

"Found it all?" Wu Feng asked with a smile.

"Small meaning. Song Shannei snapped his fingers and said proudly: "Uncle has a meeting on the top of Tianzi Peak, and I will eat, drink and have fun while checking things in the town below. ”

"Awesome. Wu Feng patted Song Shannei on the shoulder, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If I become a generalissimo of soldiers and horses in the future, I will definitely make you a general, and I will be the master of the expedition." ”

"General?" Song Shannei smiled: "Okay, it's better for me to go to Tianzhu, and I can eat flying cakes every day." ”

Song Shannei once followed Hua Zongdai to Tianzhu, and after eating flying cakes a few times, he never forgot it, and often mentioned it, so that many people in the palace called him the flying cake boy.

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "If you want to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the hall master can be the controller of a great dynasty, you must either be the emperor, or you can hold the emperor in your hands as a puppet like Yang Qi." It's just that with the power and talent of the hall master, I'm afraid it's far from enough. ”

Wu Feng was slightly shocked, Song Shannei was thirteen years old like himself, and he could see this clearly.

"So, it's good that you can help the hall master get to that point, but if you can't do it, I'll vote for another master. I'm a real person, and I don't hide it. Song Shan Nei said.

"But your uncle ......"

"The hall master is kind to my uncle, but my uncle is my uncle, and I am me. My uncle is just a ronin who has been promoted, and he has no family power, so our family has no obligation to be loyal to Iwakura as a whole. When I become an adult, if the Iwakura Hall doesn't improve, I'm afraid I'll have to vote for another master......" Song Shannei said in private, unscrupulous.

Wu Feng could feel Song Shannei's character.

Ability, ambition and **, and not deeply hidden, it is easy to show.

Similar to Wu Feng, the way he shows loyalty in his eyes is also to seek his own government in his position, rather than being pedantic and loyal ministers.

Wu Feng doesn't hate this kind of character. There is nothing wrong with pursuing one's own ideals.

The reason why Yuan Shu and his ilk are disgusting, after all, lies in the four characters of yin and yang, and there is no honesty and temperament at all.

But Wu Feng still wouldn't tell Song Shannei about his plan.

Song Shannei just wanted to vote for another master, and he wanted to seize the Iwakura Hall and dedicate it to Su Mengzhen as his own qualifications.

Wu Feng was born in the Valley of Forgetting Worries, and even if he was a person from the Divine Hall, of course there was no psychological burden on such a plan. However, Song Shannei grew up in the Iwakura Palace, and he must still have feelings for the Iwakura Palace, and if he knew Wu Feng's plan, he was afraid that it would be difficult to accept it.

......

After Hua Zongdai and Song Shanuchi's uncle and nephew returned, another day later, a young man entered Iwakura Castle.

He is quite tall, about 1.9 meters tall, the beard on his cheeks is black, and there is a tendency to become thicker, his eyebrows are like big swords, and his expression is fierce.

If it weren't for the fact that he already knew who the young man was, Wu Feng would never believe that this person was only eighteen years old.

The boy had a white cat on his shoulder, but he was very docile and kept meowing.

This person is the eldest son of Xue Yiren, who killed Xue Dingye, an important minister under Su Mengzhen's command and the elder of the Divine Hall, Mu Feng, in the battle of Xixiang-Hanshui.

Mu Feng's cultivation is not as good as Deng Aihou, but he is not under Hua Zongdai and Si Renping. In other words, at the age of eighteen, Xue Dingye had the strength to approach Deng Aihou, the hall master of the Iwakura Palace!
