Chapter 404: Visitors from the South
Chapter 404: Guests from the South
Cangzhou City is in a remote villa.
Xu Haifeng brought Zhang Jinzhong, Zeng Kewei and Xu Lihu to the hall. Behind them, the veteran General Lu Dingsheng sat on a rattan chair and was carried in by two confidant generals.
Since they received the news that the messenger of the Southern Forum family asked for Xu Haifeng, they were immediately ready to welcome him.
However, in such an environment, it is naturally impossible to welcome it with great fanfare.
The truth is to come secretly and talk quietly.
Although the poison on Lu Dingsheng's body has not yet disappeared, the old man showed a positive attitude and volunteered to participate.
Xu Haifeng immediately agreed happily, with this old man here, Lu Dingsheng could say many things that he was inconvenient to say. This was obviously also the purpose of Lu Dingsheng coming here.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, a person in the inner room stood up.
Xu Haifeng's eyes condensed and he said unexpectedly: "It turns out that it was Brother Yinghao who came here in person. Xu is really flattered."
The person in the room is Cheng Yinghao, the most outstanding leader in the younger generation of the Cheng family.
With his status, the Cheng family is second only to Cheng Xuanfeng and the head of the Cheng family.
And those two who are well-known no longer care about the specific things in the family. In other words, in the Cheng family, the one who really presides over daily things is the best among the younger generation.
The four great families of the Han Dynasty, no matter what the reason is, have already completed the alternation between the old and the new without realizing it.
In the era of war, it has always been the world of young people.
"General Xu." Cheng Yinghao looked at him. Although his face was calm, his heart was absolutely uneasy.
Xu Haifeng, a young man who is a few years younger than him, has been destined to be a tit-for-tat situation since their first meeting.
However, no one expected that the one who could finally get this great man is this little general who had no one seen at the time.
Xu Haifeng showed a sincere smile on his face. He stepped forward and held Cheng Yinghao's hand intimately, and said with a smile: "Brother Yinghao is here, it shows sincerity, please..."
Cheng Yinghao also smiled the most kindest, no matter what they thought, on the surface, they had already done all the effort they should do.
With Xu Haifeng's attentive greeting, they came to the hall to sit down.
Cheng Yinghao looked at the few people in the hall, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming here, he was also nervous because he didn't know how Xu Haifeng would treat the Cheng family, which had always stood opposite him.
If Xu Haifeng welcomed him into the yamen with great fanfare, then he would not need to talk about it at all. He turned around and thought about how to leave safely is the right way.
But when he saw him today, Xu Haifeng only asked a few of his confidant generals and officials to participate. That is to say, at least in his heart, he also hoped to resolve the situation in the south peacefully.
That was when he was truly calmed down.
Cheng Yinghao looked at the people who had already sat down safely, suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Xu Haifeng, and said, "General Xu, today I am here to invite you to surrender."
Everyone, including Xu Haifeng, was stunned at the same time. Although almost everyone could guess his purpose, no one would have never expected that he would say the first sentence after sitting down.
Xu Haifeng's expression was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up and smiled and said, "Where is Brother Cheng saying anything? Everyone is just for the people of the world to live and work in peace and not be affected by war."
Zhang Jinzhong's brows moved slightly and said to himself, "You are just saying it, and everything is for the people of the world, so that the throne will be given up, so that so many people will worry about it." However, these words instantly floated through his mind, but they would never dare to express any of them."
Cheng Yinghao smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what the reason is, the Cheng family offended in the past, so I would like to ask a large number of generals."
Xu Haifeng smiled and said with the most sincere smile: "Even if it is the past, why should Brother Cheng be upset?"
Cheng Yinghao clasped his fists again, just about to speak.
Suddenly, Xu Haifeng looked up at the sky and smiled and said, "It turns out that Brother Yingtao is here too."
"What?" Cheng Yinghao's face changed, his mind turned and he immediately said, "General Xu, before he came down, he had an explanation that no one was allowed to enter the city, just Brother Tao..."
Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and said, "Xu knows that Brother Yingtao is naturally an exception." He stood up and said to Lu Dingsheng and others: "I'm sorry for accompanying General Cheng, so Xu will come whenever he goes."
Cheng Yinghao suddenly took a step forward and said, "General Xu..."
"Xu understands." Xu Haifeng reached out to stop him and said, "No matter who wins and who loses with Xu and Ling, it will never affect the friendship between our two families."
Cheng Yinghao sighed helplessly and was not dissuading him.
Friendship, hey... I'm afraid it's profit.
Xu Haifeng moved his body and had already left the place, appearing on the roof like a ghost.
His speed was unparalleled. Even the guards could only see a black shadow floating by, rubbing his eyes, and never noticed it again. He couldn't help but wonder if he had seen it wrong.
In a moment, he had arrived on a tower, where a young man with a strong figure was waiting for him.
"Brother Yingtao, it has been several years since we left the capital. I didn't expect that there would be a battle between you and me." Xu Haifeng laughed and stood with him.
Cheng Yingtao stared at him, his eyes were extremely complicated. After a long time, he finally said, "I am not your opponent."
Xu Haifeng smiled and said nothing. At this time, he had already understood the mysterious principles of heaven and earth and could control the power of nature. Even if he was against Taiyi Zhenren, the world's number one master, he would have a greater chance of winning.
Cheng Yingtao has been in the realm of a master for less than a year. The gap between the two is obvious at a glance, so Xu Haifeng is not surprised that he would say such words.
"I came here today, originally to pass on a sentence by my ancestors."
"Speaking."
"The ancestors have already taken the two heads of the family to Jiangnan to find land to practice, and will never be concerned about the world again."
"Don't ask about the world anymore?" Xu Haifeng turned his head and looked south. His eyes seemed to have seen the old man who had truly entered the realm of a master.
"Yes, everything from the Han family will be entrusted to my brother from now on."
Xu Haifeng nodded silently and said softly: "It turns out that Brother Yinghao is already the leader of the Cheng family."
Cheng Yingtao said aloud: "That's it." He took a step back and suddenly bowed to Xu Haifeng.
Xu Haifeng was shocked and was about to return the gift, but he heard him say, "This is my ancestor's order to give me a gift to General Xu."
Xu Haifeng's movements stopped abruptly. He looked at Cheng Yingtao quietly and finally sighed: "Xu understands that as long as the Cheng family does not repeat it in the future, Xu will never do the thing after the autumn."
Cheng Yingtao's face was silent, but he bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you for your promise."
Xu Haifeng nodded to him, as if he had received this gift from him.
Cheng Yingtao stood up, stared at him, and suddenly said, "Brother Xu is a genius, and has only been a master of martial arts for several years. In the Taiyuan battle, he fought against the second master. Even if he is the best in the world, it is not an exaggeration to have such magical skills."
"Where is a lucky place."
Cheng Yingtao smiled slightly and suddenly said, "It's just that when I saw him today, Cheng was a little disappointed."
"Why?" Xu Haifeng asked in surprise.
"The way of martial arts is to retreat if you don't advance. It's been half a year since Taiyuan, Brother Xu has retreated." Cheng Yingtao looked at him and said word by word.
Xu Haifeng's expression condensed, and he naturally knew what he was doing. Outside Xijing, his challenge to Li Zhi and avoided fighting, left a shadow in his heart, like a scar deeply engraved in his heart, so that he could not forget for a moment.
Although he can continuously improve his own realm through the power of the superpower group, now that time is tight, he hastily arrived, and both his energy and spirit are at their lowest point.
In this state, it is reasonable to be felt by Cheng Yingtao.
"Brother Xu, Cheng is not your enemy today, but in ten years, he will come again to ask for advice. I hope that by then, Brother Xu will have the courage to make an appointment." Cheng Yingtao said that, turned around and left, and in a flash, he disappeared.
A trace of gloom slipped across Xu Haifeng's face, and he murmured: "Have you been ten years?"
He has avoided it once outside Xijing City. So this time, will he avoid it again ten years later?
Martial arts and kingly ways.
There was a helpless smile on his face, and it turned out that this was really a difficult multiple-choice question.
In the villa hall, Cheng Yinghao talked happily with everyone, but the scope of the conversation was not anything about the substantive.
Because they all know one thing very well, and the people who can really talk about it are not here.
Cheng Yinghao's heart was even more ups and downs, but his calming skills were perfect, but he could not see any inappropriateness on the outside.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside the house.
Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
Xu Haifeng strode in, his eyes looked straight at Cheng Yinghao, and suddenly said, "I want to talk to Brother Cheng alone."
Lu Dingsheng and others stood up consciously and came out one after another.
Xu Haifeng's voice seemed to be a little low: "It's really a mistake to welcome the head of the Cheng family."
Cheng Yinghao was stunned and then smiled, "It turns out that Brother Tao still said that, which made General Xu laugh."
"I have promised Ling brother." Xu Haifeng said seriously: "As long as the Cheng family does not repeat it in the future, Xu will never do the thing after the autumn."
"Thank you, General."
"However, Xu still has something to do, so please help Brother Cheng."
"General Xu, please give me instructions."
