Chapter 109 Farewell
Seeing that the day was approaching, Zhao Feng naturally didn't dare to delay any longer, so he came here today to say goodbye to Qi Huanhuan.
"what?"
Qi Huanhuan was surprised and looked at Xu Feng with a slightly aggrieved look on her face. "You've only been here for two days, and you're leaving?"
"This visit to the Demon Cult has indeed changed my initial impression of the Demon Cult."
Xu Fengyan spoke sincerely.
"In that case, please consider it carefully, Mr. Xu. You can join our Demon Sect at any time."
When Qi Huanhuan heard that Xu Feng had changed his bad influence on the Demon Cult, he immediately laughed so hard that his mouth could hardly close.
So Zhao Feng did not immediately agree to join the Demon Cult, but now that this first step has been taken, some things will naturally be possible in the long run.
After hurriedly saying goodbye to Qi Huanhuan, Zhao Feng said goodbye to Mr. Zhuge and left the Demon Cult.
He reunited with his men and arrived at the Northern Pacification Division of the Jinyiwei in the Imperial City.
"May I ask who you are, Excellency?"
The Jinyiwei guards guarding the gate saw that Zhao Feng had an extraordinary demeanor and was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and their attitude became obviously more respectful.
"I would like to meet with the commander of the Jinyiwei, Zhan Wudi."
Finally, Zhao Feng handed the imperial edict summoning him to Beijing to the guards. Seeing that they had the imperial edict in their hands, the Jinyiwei people naturally did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly led Zhao Feng into the hall.
"Please wait a moment, sir. Our masters will be here soon."
"Thank you."
Zhao Feng looked up and saw that the hall of the Jinyiwei command room in the capital did not seem to be much different from that in Linhai County. The only difference was that the area was a little larger.
Before coming to the capital, Zhao Feng had visited Li Chengfeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei in Linhai County, and had already learned a thing or two about the battle against the invincible from the other party.
Zhan Wudi is a descendant of the Jinyiwei. His grandfather's generation has been in the Jinyiwei to serve the emperor.
Both his father and grandfather had made great contributions to the country. When the emperor was assassinated, it was he and his father who fought desperately to protect the emperor and fought their way back to the capital.
However, the father and son of the Zhan family died while saving the emperor. Zhan Wudi was only a young man at that time.
In order to express his gratitude to the Zhan family for their contribution to protecting him, the emperor promoted Zhan Wudi three times in a row.
Therefore, Zhan Wudi became the commander of the Jinyiwei in the capital at a young age, and he was also the youngest among many commanders. Of course, his future is undoubtedly bright.
"Are you Master Zhao Feng?"
Zhan Wudi ordered someone to serve tea. He had a good personal relationship with Li Chengfeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei in Linhai County, and had received a letter from the other party a long time ago.
"Master Xu conquered Jianfeng Mountain, assisted Commander Li in his battle against the rebellious Linhai County Magistrate, and slew the Japanese pirate leader. Each of these feats is a monumental achievement."
Zhan Wudi paused and continued, "Your Majesty will surely reward Prince Zhao Feng for coming to the capital this time."
"Don't dare..."
Zhao Feng immediately responded modestly, "The reason the rebellious people in Linhai County were supported was all thanks to the talented command of Lord Li, the commander of the Jinyiwei. More importantly, the brothers of the Jinyiwei risked their lives."
Zhao Feng naturally didn't dare to take all the credit on himself. After all, Zhan Wudi was a big shot around the emperor.
"Hahaha……"
Unexpectedly, Zhan Wudi burst into laughter after hearing this, "Sir, please don't be polite. I have heard of your great achievements."
"But the most satisfying thing is naturally defeating the master-level master of the Japanese pirates."
These Japanese pirates often harassed the coastal borders, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of righteous people in the court.
The imperial court had sent people to attack the Japanese pirates before, but these people were very cunning. Every time the imperial troops arrived, they would hide, and then come out and act again after the imperial troops left.
This happened again and again, and the imperial army not only did not gain any advantage, but suffered a lot of losses.
Of course, the Japanese pirates were also a great threat to the imperial court.
"Master Zhan, you are too kind. I am only trying to help with my limited abilities."
"Without the help of the brothers in the Imperial Guard, how could we have put down the rebellion so easily?"
It was also at this time that Zhao Feng naturally wanted to put all the credit on the Jinyiwei.
"I heard that someone from the Six Gates also intervened in the last operation?"
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard took a sip of tea and immediately changed the subject.
Zhao Feng felt alert.
In the entire court, everyone knew that the Jinyiwei and the Liushenmen had never fought against the two men, each standing on their own side.
However, the emperor knew how to balance the power of checks and balances. Although the two sides fought against each other, no major chaos occurred, and the imperial power was also consolidated.
As the emperor, he was naturally happy to see me act like this, so he did not interfere too much.
But why did Zhan Wudi suddenly mention the people from the Six Gates today? Was this a test for him?
Zhao Feng had no idea about Zhan Wudi's background, so naturally he didn't dare to talk to him casually.
After all, the person in front of him was a high-ranking official in the Jinyiwei, and he was fully confident, so Zhao Feng naturally did not dare to express his opinion.
"The Six Gates probably came here to investigate the situation."
Zhao Feng paused and continued, "The Linhai County Governor is colluding with the Japanese pirates. This is something that no righteous person in our dynasty can tolerate."
Zhan Wudi saw that Zhao Feng's answer was flawless, so he naturally didn't ask any further questions.
After all, Zhao Feng had just made great contributions and was now highly appreciated by the emperor.
Moreover, Zhao Feng himself also fought side by side with the Jinyiwei, but there was no major conflict of interest between the two, so Zhan Wudi naturally did not want to make things difficult for Zhao Feng.
"I wonder what Mr. Zhao's plans are for this trip to the capital?"
Zhan Wudi's seemingly casual words were actually full of temptations towards Zhao Feng.
As the saying goes: "There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
Seeing that Zhao Feng was about to rise in the court, Zhan Wudi naturally wanted to distinguish right from wrong.
"Of course I am doing what you ordered."
Zhao Feng responded calmly.
"Is this your first time in the capital? The prosperity of our capital is far beyond the reach of Linhai County. I suggest that you consider staying and becoming an official in the capital. You will surely have a bright future."
Zhan Wudi's seemingly unintentional words were actually a test of his own.
"Zhao Fengcheng has been appreciated by His Majesty. No matter where he serves as an official, it is a blessing from the Emperor."
Zhao Feng's words made it impossible for Zhan Wudi to find any fault with him.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two became much more relaxed, which made Zhao Feng feel relieved.
Zhan Wudi also breathed a sigh of relief. The person who was about to rise was not an enemy, so it would be much easier to deal with him in the future.
