Chapter 376 Commander-in-Chief: Can’t see through Chu Tang

Xu Shizhong.

As night falls, the lanterns come on.

In a small courtyard at the back of Feng Mansion, a lantern hung in a pavilion under a tree swayed in the evening breeze.

The shadows of the two people sitting in the pavilion were also swaying under the light.

In the distance, a servant was waiting quietly, not daring to come up and disturb the conversation between the two people in the pavilion.

The conversation went on for a long time, with the young people doing most of the talking and the older people listening.

From time to time the listener would interject a word or two, ask something, occasionally nod, and sometimes ponder.

After a stick of incense, the young man stopped and looked at the old man in front of him quietly, waiting for his instructions.

"See you all, in general, you have done quite well in Liangzhou. The reason for transferring you back to the capital of the gods is not that you have done anything wrong, but that the changes in the Luoshen Valley are unexpected, and Uncle Wei has to act like this. Yes." The old man's eyes brightened slightly as he explained.

The young man was silent for a while and then said: "Second Uncle, as the commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guards, there are many things that need to be considered and weighed. I have no intention of complaining."

"Very good, very good. I'm relieved if you think so. It seems that after several years of experience in Liangzhou, you have indeed improved a lot." The old man smiled.

The two of them were none other than Feng Kaijing, the commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guard and the head of Feng Mansion in Shendu; the young man was Feng Jianqi who had just returned to Shendu from Liangzhou.

Feng saw that Qi Bairi and Chu Tang were waiting at Feng Mansion for Feng Kaijing to return home on duty.

The two met, and Feng Jianqi told him what he had done in Liangzhou in detail, and Quan, as the commander of Liangzhou's Yiyiwei, reported his duties to the commander-in-chief of Dayao's Yiyiwei.

And the evaluation he received was that he had made some progress.

Feng Jianqi felt a little happy.

He knew very well that his second uncle was a serious man, never smiled and rarely praised others. It was the greatest compliment to be able to make the other person say something about improvement.

Feng Kaijing suddenly asked: "Jian Qi, have you gone to see Chu Tang?"

Feng Jianqi nodded, focusing on Chu Tang's desire to join the Zhenyi Guards, and also told about Princess Xincheng's recruitment of Chu Tang.

"Really?" Feng Kaijing looked slightly surprised, "Princess Xincheng wants him to be the commander of the guards? If I remember correctly, the current commander of Princess Xincheng's guards is an Ouchi guard and has a seventh-level cultivation. How can Chu Tang be qualified for the job? This responsibility?”

Feng Jianqi expressed ignorance, but emphasized that this was something Feng Huang conveyed, and Chu Tang should not lie.

Feng Kaijing frowned slightly and said, "This is quite strange and unreasonable!"

Feng Jianqi disagreed and said: "Why should we care about Princess Xincheng's schemes? We just need to arrange Chu Tang well. Second uncle, you have been neglecting him for more than half a month. You should also arrange a job for him in the Yiyi Guard." ”

Feng Kaijing was even more surprised: "He didn't want to be the commander of Princess Xincheng's guards. Instead, he asked you to be the lobbyist. He still wants to join the Guards?"

Feng Jianqi repeated Chu Tang's words again, and finally reminded him: "Second uncle, if you don't make a decision, I'm afraid he will leave the capital of God and go somewhere else."

Feng Kaijing's expression slowly calmed down, and he smiled: "This is really strange, leaving the commander of the princess's bodyguard, who has a higher position and is less dangerous, to be the commander of the princess's bodyguards, but he has to be in the wind and rain, with danger everywhere. The armored guard in this realm. What do you think he is after?"

When Feng Jian Qi was silent, he couldn't explain why.

To be honest, he also had the same doubts as his second uncle.

It stands to reason that the chief bodyguard of the princess's residence is a fourth-grade official. Although he has little power after leaving the princess's residence, Princess Xincheng is the most favored daughter of the current emperor. She also holds the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Phoenix Army. As the commander-in-chief of her bodyguards, , you can also see the official level.

The official title of fourth grade is also very prestigious in the city of God.

When joining the Zhen Yiwei, even with the Feng family taking care of him, Chu Tang is still a complete newcomer. He has no experience, and his martial arts skills are not top-notch. Apart from his young age and great potential, he really can't place heavy responsibilities on him as soon as he comes up.

When Chu Tang joined the Guards, not to mention being on par with the fourth-grade official rank of the princess's guard commander, he was still a seventh-grade petty leader, which was equivalent to the chief arrester of a county.

The seventh grade and the fourth grade seem to be just three levels, but there is also a "subordinate" grade in each grade, which is a full five levels different!

Most officials will not be able to cross from the seventh grade to the fourth grade in their entire lives!

Which of the two is more important, any fool knows how to choose!

But Chu Tang doesn't want big ones, just small ones, which is very strange for him.

"But there are many weirdos and quirks in this world, which is not surprising. After all, our guards are the ones who wield the sword. The emperor has given us the right to kill first and report later. If we do well, the power within it is not comparable to that of a guard commander. He may have greater ambitions." Feng Kaijing himself found a reason for Chu Tang.

The corner of Feng Jianqi's mouth twitched, thinking that you had even made up a reason, so I would have nothing to say.

Suddenly, remembering something, Feng Jianqi said: "Second uncle, let Chu Tang follow me to work in the Yiwei."

Feng Kaijing raised his eyelids, took a deep look at his nephew, and asked, "Are you sure you want to stand up for him and completely intervene in the affairs of Marquis Nanqing and Luoshen Valley?"

Feng Jianqi frowned and said, "Is it because of this that my second uncle has been unwilling to accept Chu Tang?"

Feng Kaijing said calmly: "Who am I, Feng Kaijing, to be afraid of? I'm just worried that you will be impulsive and regret it later."

The first half of the sentence is extremely domineering and convincing.

The dignified commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guards, the emperor's close and respected ministers, have the most important power in their hands, and there is really no need to fear anyone.

The second half of the sentence expresses concern for one's nephew, showing a tough and tender heart.

"Chu Tang deserves our win! He is just a Marquis of Nanqing, so there is no need to care about him. As for Luoshen Valley...it's okay to dominate Liangzhou, not to mention affecting the capital of gods. Even Zhongzhou cannot tolerate them running wild!" Feng Jian said Qi insisted.

Feng Kaijing nodded and said happily: "Very good! See you all, it seems you made the decision after careful consideration."

Feng Jianqi glanced at Feng Kaijing and said, "Second uncle must have thought about it very clearly, otherwise how could he arrange for Chu Tang to stay in Tingfengxuan?"

"Why, blame me for letting him take your place?" Feng Kaijing laughed.

Feng Jianqi was speechless, and after a long time he said: "Second uncle, you should understand what I mean."

Feng Jianqi suppressed his smile and said, "I have indeed considered your proposal for Feng Huang's marriage again and again. But I am not sure whether I should choose this Chu Tang."

"Why?"

"How should I put it, I can't see through him..."

"who?"

"Chu Tang!"

"Can't you see through it?" Feng Jianqi looked puzzled, "Second uncle, you have made me confused."

Feng Kaijing glanced up at the sky, as if to see through the dark and distant night sky, until he slowly lowered his head and said: "Whether it is martial arts, personality, or behavior, this Chu Tang is very strange and difficult to figure out. I can't see clearly, I can't see through. I, Feng Kaijing, have been the commander-in-chief of the Yiyi Guards for nearly twenty years. I have seen all kinds of people and I pride myself on having a sharp eye, but it is this Chu Tang who confuses me."

"This..." Feng Jianqi opened his mouth and hesitated before saying, "Isn't this better? If he is too simple, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in this world, let alone a good match."

Feng Kaijing was stunned for a moment, then slowly laughed: "That's really it! It seems like I'm thinking too much?"

Feng Jianqi complained: "Second uncle is used to scheming."

Feng Kaijing smiled lightly and said, "So, are you sure you want to support him?"

Feng Jianqi said as expected: "Second Uncle, if you had worked with him and seen him take action, you would not be able to help but take him for your own use."

"Oh?" Feng Kaijing became interested, "I have never seen him take action, but from some intelligence, I can imagine what his combat power is. It is true that he can be regarded as a young genius with great talent. Gao can be regarded as the top of the younger generation. However, in my life, I have seen too many geniuses who came out of nowhere and eventually fell sadly."

Feng Jianqi smiled softly: "That guy cherishes his life very much. He is more careful than a tortoise and more cautious than a fox. Second uncle, do you believe it or not? If I were in danger when I went on a mission with him, I would lose my life. He is alive and well!"

Fengkai Jingle was furious: "Your words are extremely interesting."

Feng Jianqi said: "It is said that Fenghuang girl had a competition with him, doesn't the second uncle know?"

"I heard." Feng Kaijing responded, "It is said that Feng Huang is slightly better."

Feng Jianqi was noncommittal and asked: "Second uncle, do you think Feng Phoenix can survive with the full strength of the eight realm masters with its fighting power?"

Feng Kaijing shook his head slightly: "Three girls, although they have some success in the Fire Phoenix Divine Spear skill, they have not entered the upper three realms after all. How can they be the opponents of people in the eighth realm!"

Feng Jianqi said with emotion: "But Chu Tang has been able to deal with the masters of the Eight Realms for a long time, and not just once. Tang Jianyuan, a descendant of King Liang, and Jin Changgong of Luoshen Valley are both reliable masters of the Eight Realms, but Chu Tang has been Get out of their hands.”

Feng Kaijing snorted and said, "Are you saying that he is hiding his clumsiness and deliberately letting the third girl gain the upper hand?"

"I'm not sure." Feng Jianqi said, "In terms of lightness alone, there is absolutely nothing I can do against him. No matter how powerful Feng Phoenix is, won't he be able to beat me?"

Feng Kaijing looked a little more serious and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes it seem that Chu Tang's future is worth looking forward to."

Feng Jianqi took the opportunity to say: "Then what happened between him and Feng Huang..."

"There is no rush to decide on this matter." Feng Kaijing interrupted him, "I still want to wait and see."

"But……"

"There is no but!" Feng Kaijing said categorically, leaving no room for doubt, "See, God is in troubled times now, and everything must be planned before taking action, otherwise one mistake will lead to catastrophe."

Feng Jianqi's face darkened and he asked in surprise: "Is the situation so serious?"

Feng Kaijing sighed: "You have been away from Shendu for a few years, and you need to get familiar with the situation in Beijing again. In short, just do what you are required to do, and don't stand aside easily."

Feng Jianqi nodded silently.

Feng Kaijing thought for a moment and said: "See, you have returned to the capital from the post of commander of the Yizhou Yiyi Guards. When you return to the headquarters, you should be promoted to use. But after all, you only have the cultivation level of the seventh realm, and the four elephants of the headquarters are You can't do it. In my opinion, it's better to go to the 24th Division and be a governor first."

Feng Jianqi's expression remained unchanged and said, "I understand, listen to my second uncle."

Feng Kaijing sighed: "The Twenty-fourth Division is busy even if it is not busy, and it is not too busy to say that you are too busy. You... should still spend more energy on martial arts training. There are seven of the Twenty-Fourth Division's governors. There are also eight realms, and your cultivation level is really not enough."

Feng Jianqi was very embarrassed and said, "Thank you, uncle, for the tips. I've written them all down."

Feng Kaijing thought for a moment and then said: "You have to settle down in the next two days, and then take Chu Tang with you to report to the Zhenyiwei headquarters. Since you insist, let him follow you."

Feng was overjoyed when he saw Qi and said, "Thank you so much, uncle, for making it happen."

Feng Kaijing glanced at his bright smile and said in an inexplicable tone: "See you, the Yiwei headquarters seems to be run like an iron barrel by me, but after all, people's hearts are complicated, and the situation here is extremely changeable. How can you still You have to be more careful. You still need to be strong to strike iron!"

Feng Jianqi's expression turned serious and he responded respectfully.

Then he told Feng Jianqi some things, and then Feng Kaijing sent him away.

In the yard, under the night, only Feng Kaijing's old figure remained.

He slowly closed his eyes and spoke in an inaudible voice: "See Qi... Third girl... Chu Tang..."

I just read three people, and probably only he knows what to say specifically.

…

The next day.

Early in the morning, Chu Tang was woken up by Feng Huang again and called him out of Ting Fengxuan's bedroom.

Looking at Fenghuang in fiery red clothes, Chu Tang looked at the sky. It was gray, and it was probably less than half an hour.

"Miss Third, it's not a good habit to disturb people's dreams." Chu Tang came up and complained.

Feng Huang looked at him with disdain and said: "Students watch the lights at three o'clock and the chickens at five o'clock. Although we martial arts practitioners are tired and need more time to rest, it's time to get up and practice martial arts anyway. How can we be as lazy as you!" I don’t even know how you developed this skill!”

She was a little angry and a little unwilling.

Through these days of observation, she discovered that Chu Tangwo showed no signs of concentrating on martial arts training in Tingfengxuan.

This guy sleeps long hours when he should sleep, eats and drinks a lot, and reads slowly to pass the time. He doesn't have much time for practicing martial arts!

Is it this kind of person whose skills are comparable to hers?

Of course Fenghuang was not convinced.

Just now, when Chu Tang was still soundly asleep, she had already practiced the Fire Phoenix Divine Spear technique several times downstairs at her house, and last night she was so lucky that she meditated!

In comparison, Chu Tang is simply carefree.

"How do you develop your skills?" Chu Tang laughed inwardly. When you have an omnipotent panel, you won't work hard.

Of course, when you catch a thief, you have to work hard.

He, Chu Tang, likes to use last-minute strikes when there are many thieves.

Earning chivalrous value is simply not a great feeling!

It's a pity that these joys cannot be shared with outsiders.

After taking another look at Feng Huang and noticing the hurried expression on her face, Chu Tang asked, "Miss Third, is there something wrong?"

Fenghuang's beautiful eyes widened and she said: "Chu Tang, you are so arrogant! Is it because you feel that you have a backer when you see Brother Qi coming back?"

Chu Tang shook his head repeatedly and said: "Brother Feng returns to Shendu. Chu will have something to do in the future. He doesn't have to sit here with nothing to do all day long. It's really worth being happy."

Fenghuang's expression darkened and he said, "You don't need to remind me that I am not lobbying for the Thirteenth Princess today to ask you to become the commander of the bodyguards."

Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Of course it's an honor to work for Princess Xincheng, but it's a pity that Chu's ambition is not here."

"Hypocritical!" Feng Huang chuckled lightly.

Chu Tang's face straightened up and he said, "Looking at Miss Third, it doesn't look like she is here just to ridicule Chu."

Feng Huang snorted coldly, and suddenly waved forward his right hand behind his back. With a whoosh, a shadow and strong wind shot straight at Chu Tang.

Chu Tang was startled, and just about to dodge, he found that the force and momentum of the strong wind had weakened when it reached three feet in front of him, and it was about to fall from the air.

"Huh?" Chu Tang reached out and took the thing that was about to fall.

When I looked down, I saw an invitation with large gilded characters! (End of chapter)
