In the past, Xu Kang devoted his whole body and soul to the cause of building the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County. Although he controlled military and financial power countless times, he never benefited from it for himself.

After being driven to Lushun City, Xu Kang has watched Cheng Yuanzhi become more and more alienated from him in the past six months, and no longer wants to foolishly only think about others. He took advantage of the convenience of being in charge of the southern route to secretly develop his own business.

The fleet earned its first capital.

Then, Xu Kang, who did not want to be passively defensive, used these properties to once again form an intelligence team responsible only for him personally, named Tingfeng.

Xue Keer is currently the person in charge of Tingfeng.

Although she was considered a adopted daughter by Cheng Yuanzhi at the beginning, due to her close relationship with Xu Kang, Xue Keer still could not gain Cheng Yuanzhi's trust, and the intelligence agencies in her hands were taken away.

Xue Ker, who had nothing to do, was immediately recruited back to Xu Kang's side, leaving Tingfeng completely in her care.

Xue Keer did not live up to his expectations. With more than a year's understanding of the Fengtian Army's intelligence agency, she not only spread Tingfeng's intelligence agents throughout Liaodong, but also successfully infiltrated Tingfeng's secret agents.

I went inside the Fengtian Army and got a lot of secret information about the Fengtian Army.

According to the information Xue Keer received this time, the Han court seemed to have finally responded to the Fengtian Army's surrender, but it was still not very interested. It only asked the leader of the Fengtian Army to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to express his feelings in person.

Naturally, Cheng Yuanzhi would not foolishly run to Luoyang. He was afraid that once he entered the city gate, he would never come out again. But since the imperial court had given the order, the Fengtian Army had to obey it. As a result, this opportunity fell to Xu Kang.

After all, he is the deputy commander of the Fengtian Army and the nominal adopted son of Cheng Yuanzhi. His status is enough to replace Cheng Yuanzhi.

It's a pity that he can only fight the danger alone.

After hearing this, Xu Kang's face was so cold that it almost turned frosty, his lips like razor blades were tightly pursed, and he couldn't say a word.

The other three women were also silent. Finally, Gong Yinglian sighed and said, "What are you going to do? Go to Xiangping?"

Ci Mei shouted: "Of course I won't go. Why go to Xiangping? You won't get any benefits. You are always the first to die. Why should you sacrifice your life for him?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Gong Yinglian scolded. After all, Cheng Yuanzhi is Xu Kang's adoptive father, so he must always leave some room for words.

Ci Mei closed her mouth angrily.

However, her anger suppressed Xu Kang's anger. After thinking for a while, she still said: "I have decided to return to Xiangping City."

"Why?" Ci Mei said in disbelief: "You really want to die."

"Of course I don't want to." Xu Kang smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as I don't want to die, no one in this world can do anything to me."

"Tch, I'm not worried about you." Ci Mei said with a red face, "It's your own business if you want to die, just don't involve us."

Xu Kang nodded and said: "I know. This time, Ke'er and I will go to Xiangping, and you two will stay and take care of our merchant ship."

Gong Yinglian said worriedly: "I think I'd better go with you. The two of us can always take care of each other?"

Xu Kang shook her hand and said: "With my current martial arts, although I cannot dominate the world, I can always protect myself. I can't always rely on you for protection. This time I will complete the task beautifully.

I will protect you from now on."

Gong Yinglian blushed with embarrassment and could no longer say a word.

Cheng Yuanzhi's order was to hope that Xu Kang could rush to Xiangping City as soon as possible. He did not want to disobey Cheng Yuanzhi's wishes, so he took his guards and traveled all night.

When Xu Kang finally arrived at Xiangping City, a large group of people had gathered at the city gate to greet him. The leader was his old acquaintance, Gongsun Sheng, the head of the Gongsun family.

Today, Gongsun Sheng has become a popular figure in Liaodong County by virtue of his daughter's popularity.

He smiled and said, "Welcome Deputy Commander Xu back to the city. Commander Cheng specially ordered me to wait here to welcome him."

Xu Kang looked at him with some embarrassment. After all, Gongsun Sheng was now Cheng Yuanzhi's father-in-law, which meant that this guy was two generations older than him. However, it was impossible to get Xu Kang to salute him. At the moment, he could only pretend

Silly: "Thank you, Mr. Gongsun. I wonder if my adoptive father has any special instructions?"

"Shuai Cheng is afraid that Deputy Marshal Xu will be tired from the journey, so he allows you to go back home to rest first. The Marshal will personally prepare a reception banquet for Deputy Marshal Xu tonight, and the Deputy Marshal will also be invited to come and appreciate it."

Xu Kang said calmly: "I'm tired."

Xu Kang's deputy commander's residence has not changed at all. Although it has been uninhabited for half a year, it does not look desolate because there are always servants taking care of it.

Xu Kang had just finished washing up and was about to take a good rest when his subordinate came to report: "Deputy Marshal Deng is here to visit you, sir."

The Fengtian Army only has two deputy commanders, one is himself and the other is Deng Mao. But for some unknown reason, since the army came to Liaodong County, Deng Mao has always disliked him and opposed him everywhere. Although the relationship between the two cannot be said to be

The bitterness is great and the hatred is deep, but we have no contact with each other until old age and death.

I really didn't expect that he would come to see me at this time.

"Please."

In the reception hall, Xu Kang paid homage and said: "Meet my second uncle."

Deng Mao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you still call me second uncle, it's not in vain for me to come here."

Xu Kang said emotionally: "It was my foster father and second uncle who risked their lives to rescue me in Gu'an City. Otherwise, I would have died in the Li family. Xu Kang will never forget this great kindness."

Deng Mao sighed and said, "I hope you mean what you say. Just do it. I didn't come to you to ask you to repay your kindness."

After the two people sat facing each other, Xu Kang said, "I wonder what the second uncle is doing when he comes here?"

Deng Mao frowned, thought hesitantly for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "In the past six months, the relationship between you and eldest brother has gradually become estranged. You should understand the reason in one sentence, right?"

Xu Kang didn't expect that he would ask these questions. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only nod silently.

Deng Mao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, I knew that this situation would happen today. I deliberately opposed you at the beginning just to prevent you from having any delusions about the heir of the Fengtian Army. I hope you can understand that this Fengtian Army is

The eldest brother founded it by himself, and the word 'Cheng' is written on its banner, which means that only people with the surname Cheng can inherit it, do you understand?"

Xu Kang nodded and said, "My nephew understands and will never dare to have any delusions."

"It's good that you understand." Deng Mao said with a stern face: "I also know that you have worked hard in the past few years. You are definitely indispensable for the Fengtian Army to be where it is today. But there are no rules. It is your thing.

You can take it, but you absolutely can’t take it if it’s not yours.”
