Chapter 1063: Released!

"Tell Huang Tao that I have important military affairs to deal with here. I will meet him tomorrow morning..."

After Lu Yun finished speaking, he was ready to continue handling the "military affairs" he mentioned. The guard who heard his order continued with an embarrassed look on his face:

"Sir, it is said that Huang Tao has something important to report to you, sir. He asked you to meet him!"

Before the guard's words fell, a tender pair of legs hooked around Lu Yun's neck, and at the same time a delicate voice sounded in the room.

"Mr. Yun, do you think my legs are pretty?"

Faced with such temptation, Lu Yun's mind was only thinking about handling the "military affairs" in front of him, so he had no mood to care about anything else. Huang Tao immediately said impatiently:
"Huang Tao has some shitty military duty! Tell him to get out of here right now!"

Hearing what Lu Yun said, the guard naturally didn't dare to say anything more and immediately turned around and left. At the same time, the sound of sweet laughter rang out in the room again.

"Mr. Yun! You are so bad! I like you so much!"

Half an incense stick later, Huang Tao learned of Lu Yun's decision. He was already very anxious, and immediately cursed in his heart:

"Don't collude with Shuzi!"

After feeling Ye Mingsheng’s strong attitude, Lu Jianchao couldn’t help but start to consider other possibilities. He wanted to join forces with Song Weijie from Sichuan to keep warm...

For this reason, Song Weijie sent his confidant Huang Tao to Lin'an. After arriving in Lin'an, Huang Tao immediately began to discuss the core issues with Lu Houde and reached a series of consensus, which also brought the relationship between Jiangnan and Sichuan closer again.

In order to show his attitude to the Fengwu Army, Lu Jianchao, at the suggestion of his staff, invited Huang Tao as an envoy from Sichuan to observe the military exercise in Guangshou.

On the way to Guangshou, Huang Tao learned by chance from some ordinary people that the Fengwu Army was sending reinforcements to Xuancheng!
Huang Tao attached great importance to this news and immediately quickened his journey to tell Lu Yun the news so that the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Army's military exercise could make early preparations to deal with possible provocations from the Fengwu Army!

But what Huang Tao didn't expect was that Lu Yun didn't even want to see him, which made him very helpless and angry!
Despite this, Huang Tao still patiently said to the guard:
"Have you told General Lu? I have important military information to report to him. Did you know that the Fengwu Army is gathering towards Xuancheng?"

Although Huang Tao was very anxious, the guard also knew that if he disturbed Lu Yun who was handling "military affairs" again, he would definitely not end up well, so facing Huang Tao at this moment, he also said very firmly:

"Mr. Huang, my general is currently handling urgent military affairs and has no time to meet you. Please be patient and wait!"

After saying that, he actually turned around and left, ignoring the angry and helpless Huang Tao. Huang Tao could only sigh helplessly...

Just like that, when Lu Yun learned about the Fengwu Army's gathering in Xuancheng, it was already noon on October 16. Hearing the news, he was shocked and asked Feng Chong, "What happened?"
"What does the Fengwu Army want to do?"

Faced with Lu Yun's question, Feng Chong was speechless. He thought to himself that he was not Ye Mingsheng, so how could he know what the Fengwu Army wanted to do.

But facing Lu Yun's gaze, he could only bite the bullet and speak:
"Your Excellency General, according to the information we have received, the Sixth Division of the First Army of the Fengwu Army, including General Tang Kai, has assembled 17,000 soldiers and horses in Xuancheng. In addition, it is said that the Fourth Army of the Fengwu Army in Huainan is also gathering and rushing to Xuancheng!"

"It is not clear what the Fengwu Army wants to do, but I feel that the Fengwu Army is making such a big fuss. I am afraid they are here with ill intentions. Please be on guard, General!"

After these words came out, Lu Yun's face turned very ugly and he cursed angrily:
"You damn Fengwu Army, do you really want to fight me?"

"Damn it, we all have two shoulders and one head, so who is afraid of who?"

"Are you trying to scare me with this? Do you think I was brought up by being scared?"

After venting his anger with a barrage of curses, Lu Yun couldn’t help but sit on the bed and think about how to face the predicament before him. After all, anger and shouting could not solve the problem...
Even though he expressed disdain for the Fengwu Army, Lu Yun still felt nervous when he thought about facing them!
After all, Xu Zhaojie’s lone army turned Jiangnan upside down at that time. However, such a terrifying Xu Zhaojie was defeated miserably and even lost his life when he encountered the Fengwu Army!
After thinking for a while, Lu Yun couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only ask Feng Chong:
"How many of us have arrived at Guangshou?"

Feng Chong thought for a moment and said:
"General Gao Huaiyi's 15,000 troops have all arrived. Including the troops that came with you, there are now about 30,000 people in Guangshou City and its surrounding areas!"

"General Cai Xiong, General Xie Chunhua's troops haven't arrived in Guangshou yet, but they should be there soon, in the next two or three days!"

After hearing this news, Lu Yun had an idea in mind and told Feng Chong:
"Contact Cai Xiong and Xie Chunhua immediately and have them speed up and reach Guangshou as soon as possible!"

Facing the powerful Fengwu Army, Lu Yun could only gather his troops together as quickly as possible so that he could feel safe!
In response to Lu Yun's request, Feng Chong nodded and said:

"My Lord, I will arrange it right away!"

After saying this, Feng Chong hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively:

"Sir, do you think we should report our situation here to the Governor?"

Lu Yun said without hesitation:
"Of course, I have to tell my uncle..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yun seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Feng Chong with a scrutinizing eye. Feeling Lu Yun's gaze, Feng Chong had a bad premonition in his heart, and at this time Lu Yun spoke again:
"Feng Chong, how many years have you been with me?"

Although he was somewhat confused and didn't know what Lu Yun meant by hearing this, Feng Chong still answered respectfully:

"I have had the honor of following you for five years!"

Lu Yun nodded slightly, then forced a smile on his face and asked:
"How have I treated you in the past five years?"

Feeling Lu Yun's fake smile, Feng Chong's uneasy premonition became stronger, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and speak:

"Sir, you have been so kind to me!"

Hearing this answer, Lu Yun nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Feng Chong, you are great. I was right about you!"

Then Lu Yun changed the subject and said, "In that case, I have something that I need you, Feng Chong, to do!"

After that, Lu Yun whispered something to Feng Chong. Feng Chong's expression became more and more horrified as he listened to Lu Yun's story. When Lu Yun finished speaking, Feng Chong said with a sad face:
“Sir, is this possible? I heard that the Fengwu Army is as fierce as wolves and tigers. They are all savages from Liaoyang…”

Hearing this, Lu Yun also angrily scolded:
"Look at you! You are a man, how come you are so scared?"

After scolding Lu Yun, he said soothingly:

"Feng Chong, you are the person I trust the most. I can only let you do this. I believe you are a person who knows how to repay kindness. You won't let me down on this matter, right?"

Facing Lu Yun's words, Feng Chong still looked embarrassed and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Lu Yun was also itching with hatred, but in order to achieve his goal, he still said:

"Haven't you always liked that house in Lin'an South City? If you help me with this matter, how about I tell Old Sun to sell it to you at half the price?"

Feng Chong was immediately interested after hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Lu Yun with difficulty:

"Sir, you have always been very kind to me, and I should share your worries at this time, but this matter is too difficult, and I am afraid that I have delayed your important matter!"

Lu Yun could hear the bargaining intent in Feng Chong's words, but at this moment, facing this life-and-death situation, he could only say in a deep voice:

"I paid for Lao Sun's house for you!"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Chong also expressed his opinion:

"My Lord, I will never be able to repay your kindness to me even if I have to work like a slave. I will get the job done even if it means going through a dangerous place!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun's expression relaxed. Although the price was a bit painful, if Feng Chong could really get things done and eliminate the crisis, it would definitely be very, very worthwhile. Thinking of this, he reminded again:

“You must be careful and not let anyone know about this…”

Yijing, Cui Mansion

In the evening, when Cui Shao got off work early from the Central Institute and returned home to sit in the study to practice calligraphy, Cui Zibo also walked into the room quickly and said in a deep voice:
"Dad, Liu Zhengyue was arrested by the Censorate an incense stick ago!"

Cui Shao didn't say anything when he heard this, but just nodded, and then continued to practice calligraphy with concentration, while Cui Zibo continued to say with a gloating look:
"For some reason, Murong Hui fell into a big trouble. The Marshal transferred him to Anqing to serve as an inspector!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the brush in Cui Shao's hand paused immediately, and a big stain was left on the originally very elegant handwriting.

Cui Zi Bo was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't know why his father, who had always been as steady as a rock, had become so abnormal just now.

Under Cui Zibo's puzzled gaze, Cui Shao was silent for a while then put down the brush and took down the stained paper.

Seeing this scene, Cui Zibo became more and more confused. After hesitating for a while, he asked Cui Shao:
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Cui Shao shook his head and said:

"I'm fine!"

After saying this, he looked Cui Zibo up and down and said in a deep voice:

"Have you ever thought about going out?"

Cui Zibo was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know why his father suddenly said this. After hesitating for a moment, he said awkwardly:
“Dad, I’m not ready yet…”

Cui Shao's expression turned into anger when he heard this, and seeing this, Cui Zibo lowered his head in embarrassment. As the ruling center of the Fengwu Army, Yijing is not only developing rapidly itself, but also driving the development of the entire Youyan. The surrounding areas are thriving!
Cui Zibo is also fascinated by the prosperity of Yijing and wants to continue living his extravagant and beautiful life here instead of going to other cities!
Although Cui Zibo was unwilling, unfortunately, things did not go according to his will. Cui Shao, who had made up his mind, said coldly:
"Tomorrow I will ask the Marshal to send you out to serve as an inspector. You should be ready to leave at any time in the next few days!"

After hearing this, Cui Zibo raised his head and asked his father in confusion:
"Dad, why are you doing this? I haven't done anything wrong."

"Murong Hui angered the Marshal and was sent to Anqing. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I be sent out too? Dad, why are you doing this?"

Cui Shao heard this and said coldly:
"Why do you think the Marshal wanted to send Murong Hui out?"

Hearing his father’s words, Cui Zibo subconsciously wanted to answer. This guy must have angered the Marshal, so he was kicked out of Yijing by the Marshal. What does his kicking out of Yijing have to do with him?

However, under his father's scrutiny, Cui Zibo still rationally did not answer like this. After thinking carefully, he seemed to have thought of a possibility. After swallowing his saliva, he said in disbelief:

"Dad, I've been keeping an eye on Murong Hui, but he hasn't been caught with any evidence recently. Did the Marshal kick him out of Yijing this time because of the assassination of Murong Zhengshan?"

Although Cui Shao remained expressionless after hearing this, he was still very pleased in his heart. Although his son did not use his brain much, he still had a good head and was not a hopeless fool!
Under Cui Zibo's inquiring gaze, Cui Shaoyao looked in the direction of Ye Mansion and said lightly:

"The Marshal should have suspected that this was a self-torture plot staged by the Murong family, but the Murong family is really powerful. The Internal Guard and the Coordination Office should not have found out anything, otherwise the two brothers Murong Hui and Murong Zhengshan might have been beheaded!"

"But even so, the Murong family will probably be in trouble. I think the Marshal will definitely make the next move!"

"So, Zibo, do you understand what I mean when I ask you to go out?"

Cui Zibo was stunned for a moment, then said with enlightenment:
"Dad, you think I'm too eye-catching in Yijing, and you're worried that the Murong family will find something to hold against me..."
