Chapter 162: The Northward Plan

After this case, Wu Feng naturally benefited the most.

Because he "inadvertently" bumped into the Venerable Master of the Hollow, he intercepted the oath written by Tian Erjiang to Shi Xinqing, the envoy of Shentang Michi Town, and successfully cracked the first person who contributed to the case of the Heavenly Family's conspiracy against the enemy. Eight villages were rewarded again, and the territory more than doubled, bringing the population under his rule to 8,000. And Wu Feng's private army also reached more than 40 regular warriors and hundreds of militiamen.

Today's Wu Feng is already the top ten lords in Iwakura. At the age of thirteen, enjoying such a vast fiefdom, he can be described as a hot figure in the Iwakura Palace.

Deng Aihou specially sent people to start building gorgeous residences on Wu Feng's territory, and when they were repaired, Wu Feng could move out of the cramped apartment in Iwakura City, and only needed to go to work in the Baiyi camp during the day every day.

In order to show that his slaughter of the Heavenly Family was a rebellion, not to eliminate the Hao family, Deng Aihou deliberately found a cousin of Tianerjiang and gave him a village to continue the family name of the Heavenly Family.

When Deng Aihou and others attacked the Heavenly City, this person did not enter the city to help in the battle, so he escaped.

Interestingly, the territory of the new patriarch of the Heavenly Family was next to Wu Feng's territory. And after the expansion of Wu Feng's territory, it also bordered the territory of the Huang family.

It's just that although Wu Feng is only alone now, his territory and strength are better than the sum of the Heavenly Family and the Huang Family, not to mention that he still controls the white-clothed battalion, one of Deng Aihou's cronies, and these two neighbors dare not think of revenge. In view of the lessons of the Heavenly Family, the patriarch of the Huang clan had to endure the revenge of killing his son, and came to Wu Feng to ask for guilt and tell him what he had offended.

Wu Feng wanted to kick him out, but after thinking about it for a while, he forgave him in a fake way. After all, this is also the unwritten rule of political struggle, and you can't do things according to your own likes and dislikes, even celebrities and celebrities.

After this incident, Wu Feng's reputation in the Iwakura Territory also skyrocketed, although the people did not know that the Heavenly Family was calculated by Wu Feng. only to suffer the disaster of annihilation, but Wu Feng beheaded the phoenix, imprisoned Tianyi, and beat Yuan Xuefei's deeds. But it spread in the Iwakura collar, and the name of the heroic boy spread far and wide.

If it's an ordinary person, you should be fluttering, thinking that you can really walk sideways in Iwakura, right?

But Wu Feng did not slack off and relax his vigilance at all.

This is the night. Under Iwakura City, in Yun Hailan's house, Wu Feng and Yun Hailan sat opposite each other again.

The house was rearranged by Yun Hailan, with a rich and colorful picture of a classical lady on the wall, a beautiful and magnificent mica screen in the interior, a rich aroma of the Rui Beast incense burner, and a purple silk tent hanging on the bed with a white jade coffin. The whole house shows a warm color, and it also exudes a warm smell in winter, but it has its own elegance.

The folk customs of the Great Wei Dynasty were influenced by the Hu people, and they changed from the light and elegant of the previous dynasty to the richness of Seiko. And the life of a woman is becoming more and more so. Yun Hailan's complexion is elegant, but her speech style is often delicate and charming, seductive, and this kind of character and temperament is formed in the life of this rich lady.

The cost of these things is not small, and it seems that the silver taels that Wu Feng gave to Yun Hailan have already consumed a lot. But Wu Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that Yun Hailan had begun to learn to take care of herself.

When Yun Hailan saw Wu Feng coming, she couldn't help but smile and sat down with him. Tea was prepared, although the water seemed to have been boiling for too long, and the tea leaves were added too much, although it was good tea. But she made it to taste the same as the big bowl of tea at the roadside tea stall for a few pennies.

"This time, I destroyed the Heavenly Family and swollen Deng Sanshi's face, but I also offended all the wealthy families in the Iwakura Territory. Wu Feng pretended to be serious about tasting the tea, smiled, and said.

Don't look at the destruction of the Heavenly Family, the wealthy families fell into the well one by one. They will still have the heart of a rabbit and a fox to die. After all, this time it's the Heavenly Family, and maybe next time it will be their turn.

Wu Feng is too popular, and he is a foreigner, and the so-called gun shoots the first bird. Even if Tianerjiang fell, Deng Sanshi's strength was still not comparable to Wu Feng. When the wealthy families heal their scars and forget the pain, I am afraid that there will still be more people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, instigated by Deng Sanshi, like wolves, rushing towards Wu Feng one after another, launching wave after wave of bites.

As for the people's will, it may be important in political struggles, but in a small place like Iwakura, it is really not the key.

"You......" Yun Hailan lightly hooked her fingers, faintly said, under the light of the bright red butter candle, the faint red firelight hit her fingertips, faint and bright, like a night rose blooming. "You're not one to take a step back anyway, are you......"

"A swarm of insects and ants, nothing to fear. But if you are entangled in fighting with them, I am afraid that you will miss the right thing. Wu Feng said, his eyes flashing with natural pride.

"Seriously, take the Iwakura Palace...... You've been expanding your territory very quickly. ”

"Relying on Deng Aihou's reward, it is impossible to accumulate enough strength. Wu Feng smiled and said: "Although Deng Aihou is not smart, he has a strong idea of centralization, how can he feed me to the extent that he can threaten him?"

Wu Feng continued to analyze: "The reason why Xue Yiren was able to seize Tianzi Peak back then was because Ying Wujian wanted to seize the position of the master of the sect from his brother Ying Wuyi. Ying Wujian treated Xue Yiren as a hunting dog, but was instead eaten by Xue Yiren, a pit viper. I helped Deng Aihou banish Deng Rong and get rid of the Tianer River, there are not many people in the Iwakura Hall who can threaten Deng Aihou, if I continue to obsess with those wealthy clans, sooner or later I will ......"

Yun Hailan's expression also became solemn, and he said softly: "The birds are all hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked." ”

"Yes, if I were just a favorite who attracted the firepower of the Hao clan, when I cleared the Hao clan who disobeyed Deng Aihou, my use value would not be much. ”

"So, what are your plans?" asked Yun Hailan.

"There is an old saying, called 'Shen Sheng is in danger inside, and his ears are safe outside', which comes from the mouth of a wise strategist in the Middle Ages. Wu Feng said slowly.

"Are you going to go out and fight a country?, but Iwakura is under the suppression of the Divine Hall, where is there a country to fight?" Yun Hailan wondered.

But her expression was not too surprised, she knew that Wu Feng would definitely be able to give her a reasoned answer.

Although the two had only known each other for a few months, Yun Hailan already had considerable trust in Wu Feng's talent and wisdom.

Wu Feng smiled slyly and said, "Where we came over." ”

Yun Hailan's beautiful eyes flickered: "You mean...... Hedong County!"

"Not bad. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty nominally controlled the three counties of Hedong, Luliang and Dingxiang in the west, and there were garrisons, the so-called garrisons were just coalition forces composed of some local wealthy families. Now that the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows has been slaughtered, the Divine Hall has just suffered a heavy blow, and it is unable to restore the business circle of the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, if it enters Hedong at this time, it will definitely be able to recruit a force of its own in the local area......"

Yun Hailan said: "You are a disciple of Forget Worry Valley, you can speak the Hefang dialect, it is indeed appropriate to do this kind of thing, and Deng Aihou will also want to expand his influence in Bingzhou." However, how can you get the permission of the Great Zhou Dynasty? If the Great Zhou Dynasty is dissatisfied with this, and at the sound of an order, your small army will be besieged by the local wealthy clans in an instant, and there will not be even ashes left......"

Wu Feng said: "Now the situation in the state is chaotic, and bandits are rampant. Let Deng Aihou spend money to bribe the real power figures in Guanzhong, the King of Zhuxian is now in the wilderness, and the three of the arrogant king, the mediocre king, and the king of the reverse war are not in unison, and they can't completely consider the interests of the Great Zhou, so they will inevitably accept bribes, and Yang Qi doesn't manage government affairs much, so he will definitely listen to the opinions of the three...... After entering the state, I did not fight for land, so as not to offend the wealthy who owned the land, but only exterminated the bandits by guerrilla means, and the merchants who sought refuge inevitably offered me benefits, and gathered their respective networks under my banner, and with money and networks, they could accumulate strength, not necessarily limited to the land. ”

"What a trick to borrow flowers to offer Buddha...... Yun Hailan praised: "Deng Aihou was really sold by you and helped you count the money." ”

Wu Feng took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "His treasury is now full of oil, but it is all the accumulation of hundreds of years of Forgetting Worries, and I dedicated it to him." It's only natural to let him take some of it out to help me run it......"

When he said this, he had an indifferent attitude of looking down on the characters in the world, and the vast world was in his eyes.

Wu Feng believes that the power of money sometimes goes far beyond land. This kind of thinking, so to speak, has surpassed the vast majority of rulers of this era. And this is what he realized from reading books since he was a child, and he has not been taught by anyone, that is to say, after some years of practice, his understanding of mercantilism will surpass anyone in this era and stand proudly at the top of the era with advanced ideas.

"Go ahead. If there is a strong enemy, I will cut it down for you. Yun Hailan smiled and said, "People are your retainers now." ”

Under the candlelight, her delicate face was illuminated red, compared to the usual pale as paper, it was even more coquettish, and her slightly gray hair also looked extraordinarily crystalline.

This sincere smile is like the fragrance of alcohol, gentle and moving.

Wu Feng suddenly felt a faint feeling of heartbeat. In the past, he just thought that Yun Hailan's shy appearance was cute, but today was the first time he felt mild heart palpitations.

His heart is as determined as iron, even if Yun Hailan is ten times more beautiful, beauty alone is not enough to make him happy. But her coquettish smile today is really intoxicating.

This time, Wu Feng did not avoid his feelings, he raised his head and looked at Yun Hailan, his eyes revealing a warm feeling, like a fire.

He believes in the tacit understanding between the two and believes that the other party can control himself.

"Looking forward to your stunning sword Aunt Yun, I will find an opponent worthy of the sword for you. I, Wu Feng, am proud to have a strange woman like you to play. ”

Wu Feng stretched out his hand, his palm steady.

Yun Hailan was slightly stunned, and then stretched out his hand and shook it with Wu Feng, and the warm current flowed out of Wu Feng's palm and flowed into Yun Hailan's cool body.

She didn't avoid Wu Feng's fiery eyes, and a strong emotion was exchanged. She knew that Wu Feng wanted to stimulate her fighting spirit and let her re-give birth to a career **. (To be continued.) )
