Chapter 253 Brilliant Life
Ye Shengxian walked into the hall with a smile on his face, and from a distance he bowed and said, "I didn't know that Uncle Long was coming to visit. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
Long Fengyang did not stand up, but bowed slightly and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, you are too polite! However, I am not here to be a guest, but to report something important to your father. I wonder if your father is here?"
Ye Shengxian waved his hand to dismiss the four little maids in the living room who had already turned pale with fear. Then he smiled and said, "Uncle Long, you came at an unfortunate time! Just two hours ago, my father went out for something! I don't know when he will be back! So, please come another day, Uncle Long!"
Long Fengyang stared at Ye Shengxian with a forced smile. He felt nauseous when he saw Ye Shengxian, but he still forced himself to smile.
"This is a major and urgent military situation. We must not delay! How about this - I will wait for Lord Ye here!"
As he said this, he poured himself a cup of hot tea and sipped it, looking like he was determined to stay .
Jiang Chengfeng, who was hiding behind the screen in the side hall, knew at a glance at Long Fengyang's expression that this guy seemed aggressive on the surface, but was actually unsure. He most likely did this just to test Ye Duo.
Ye Shengxian thought about it and said with a smile: "That's good! My nephew has saved a box of top-quality Longjing tea——"
Before Ye Shengxian could finish, Long Fengyang interrupted him rudely and said, "Don't bother me, nephew! I was born in the military and I'm used to eating simple food. It would be a waste to give me good tea!"
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly alert. This Long Fengyang was really arrogant. A small commander dared to act so recklessly in the Governor's Mansion! It seemed that the person behind him must be no simple matter! Perhaps, it was the person behind him who asked him to come to Ye Duo to test him!
Jiang Chengfeng took out a double-barreled musket from his arms and quickly loaded it with bullets. At this distance, he could easily shoot Long Fengyang to death. Although he wanted to, he finally held back. It didn't matter if Long Fengyang died, but if things went wrong, the Ye Mansion might be wiped out tonight.
At this moment, a loud shout was heard from outside the hall, "Who is so bold! How dare you break into the Governor's Mansion?"
Long Fengyang and Ye Shengxian turned their heads at the same time, and saw a dozen strong men with long swords on their waists walking in quickly from outside the hall. The leader was Bai Biao. And in the middle of these dozen people was Ye Duo with a big belly.
This old fox finally came back. If he had come back a little later, I'm afraid the Ye Mansion would be gone! Jiang Chengfeng wiped his cold sweat and put away his gun.
"Who are you? Get out of here!"
Bai Biao pushed away the two soldiers who were blocking his way. One of them tried to resist, but he kicked him away. He was a royal guard and was used to being arrogant. How could he take a soldier seriously?
Bai Biao's arrogance made Long Fengyang's guards in the hall glare in anger. They wanted to draw their swords, but were stopped by Long Fengyang's eyes.
Ye Duo walked in with a gloomy face, stared at Long Fengyang in the hall, and shouted: "Lord Long, you gathered soldiers and led troops to surround my mansion. What exactly do you want to do?"
Ye Duo had returned, and Long Fengyang did not dare to act presumptuously. He quickly put down the teacup in his hand, walked forward quickly, bowed and said, "I am Long Fengyang, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet you, Your Excellency the Governor! I came here this time because I really have something to discuss with you, Your Excellency the Governor! As for leading the troops, it was because I was training with a group of new recruits outside the city today. Since the matter was urgent, I simply asked them to come together. Please forgive me, Your Excellency the Governor!"
Under Ye Duo's intimidation, Long Fengyang left in disgrace.
Later, Jiang Chengfeng returned to the Shen family, but heard from Deshun that Goutou led the Qinglong Society to attack the Shen family's perfume workshop, and Mrs. Shen and the eldest daughter were blocked in the workshop. However, the Dragon Tiger Sect led by Luo Dongchuan was fighting with the Qinglong Society.
Half an hour later, the battle was over and the Qinglong Gang suffered a crushing defeat. The gang leader Gou Tou was seriously injured and 70% of the Qinglong Gang was lost.
Seven days later, the Huayang Poet Club was held as scheduled. Invited by Ye Lingshuang, Jiang Chengfeng also attended the Poet Club. Li Anning was going to use this Poet Club to pursue Ye Lingshuang for the last time, but he encountered a strong rival, Jiang Chengfeng. After three wins, Jiang Chengfeng became famous all over the world.
However, just when people throughout the Northern Tang Kingdom were discussing Jiang Chengfeng, Jiang Chengfeng was requested by Tang Yin to go to Shouxiang, Ludong to encircle and suppress the headquarters of the Red Immortal Sect.
At Tang Yin's repeated request, Jiang Chengfeng was ordered to command a brigade of a thousand people to launch a surprise attack on Shouxiang. At the cost of 315 casualties, Shouxiang City was captured. The headquarters of the Red Immortal Sect was conquered, and the "Holy Sect King" Wang Sihuan (Wang Zhao's father) was captured alive. The "Holy Mother" Su Qian'er (Liu Yunxian 's master) kidnapped Jiang Chengfeng in the chaos and escaped from Shouxiang as a hostage.
Fortunately, Liu Yunxian arrived in time to prevent Jiang Chengfeng from being skinned by Su Qianer.
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Chengfeng quietly returned to Huayang with Su Qian'er and Liu Yunxian, and spent a night with Ah Hui. This was Ah Hui's request, and also Jiang Chengfeng's compensation before leaving.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Chengfeng and Miss Shen went to the capital together. However, two hours before the trip, Liu Yunxian and her master Su Qianer mysteriously disappeared. Jiang Chengfeng couldn't find them and had to give up.
Half a month later, Jiang Chengfeng and his group arrived in Beijing. They visited Tang Qiuxue, the daughter of old man Tang, at Jiankang Academy in Beijing. However, Tang Qiuxue was arrogant and didn't like Jiang Chengfeng, who was lazy and "unlearned".
As a punishment, Jiang Chengfeng defeated Tang Qiuxue in three competitions in front of the teachers and students of the academy, namely calligraphy, painting, and couplets, and also won Tang Qiuxue's heart.
Later, Jiang Chengfeng found the Jingzhao government office with the dragon-shaped gold medal. However, the yamen runners took him to the gate of the imperial palace. It was not until then that Jiang Chengfeng realized that the middle-aged uncle he had seen in Lingyin Temple was actually the current emperor!
After entering the palace, Jiang Chengfeng saw Uncle Wu and learned that Uncle Wu was actually the deputy chief steward of the palace who had followed the emperor for many years. Uncle Wu originally wanted Jiang Chengfeng to be an "adopted son" because he wanted him to be adopted by the childless emperor as his son, that is, the crown prince of Northern Tang!
Later, Uncle Wu "inadvertently" revealed that Meng Jianglin and Liu Yunxian were both daughters of the Emperor. If he wanted to marry the two princesses, he had to agree to the Emperor's leading troops to attack the Northern Hu.
After "difficult" considerations, Jiang Chengfeng finally decided to send troops to the frontier for his wife. This time, Jiang Chengfeng served as the vanguard and led 20,000 vanguard troops to attack the Northern Hu.
Jiang Chengfeng used numerous strategies and launched three surprise attacks, successfully breaking through the Northern Hu capital, Gerhan, and capturing the Hu Khan Jilie alive.
However, just as Jiang Chengfeng and other Northern Tang troops were fighting fiercely with the Hu people, a rebellion broke out in Northern Tang.
Taking advantage of the lack of military forces at home, the King of Liang, who had long coveted the throne, suddenly launched a mutiny late one night. However, he was careless and found that three of the rebel generals he had bribed for many years were actually spies planted by the emperor.
Half an hour after the rebellion broke out, Liang Wang Li Du and Crown Prince Li An Ning were beheaded by the three spies. Without a leader, the rebellion was quickly quelled.
The emperor ruthlessly purged the forces of Prince Liang with thundering means, and a magnitude N earthquake broke out in the officialdom of the huge Northern Tang Kingdom. The heads of more than a dozen states and counties were either dismissed, removed from office, or beheaded as Prince Liang's accomplices.
Two days later, Long Fengyang and his son Long Bai were taken to the capital and beheaded in public, their property was confiscated, and Ye Duo completely controlled the military and political power of Jianghuai.
Half a month later, Jiang Chengfeng led his army back in triumph. The emperor personally went out of the city ten miles to welcome him, and conferred Jiang Chengfeng the title of General of the Cavalry and the title of Duke of the First Rank.
Three days later, Jiang Chengfeng quietly left the capital with Alin, Liu Yunxian, Shen Ruoyan, Tang Qiuxue and other girls, and got married with Ahui and Shen Qingdie in a small courtyard in Huayang .
However, at the wedding, the emperor sent a full 100 carts of dowry. I thought I could hide it from the emperor, but I didn't expect that everything was seen by the emperor's father-in-law.
