Sheng Fu

Chapter 840 Follow the good and follow the flow

Li Hongshan suddenly realized that he had ignored the little kid many times. As far as the current situation is concerned, it doesn't matter whether a Northern King was conferred or not. However, His Majesty has far-sighted strategies and naturally has long-term expectations for Fucheng.

"Could it be that there are Northern King's spies in your mansion?" Li Hongshan asked with a smile.

Bai Xiaowei said leisurely, "I don't know whether the Northern King has planted spies around me, but I can tell you for sure, Master Imperial Master, many old guys have planted spies around me."

"Young people don't think that deeply."

"That young man still has some gentlemanly qualities."

Li Hongshan said: "Okay, without further ado, why don't we go to the Northern King now?"

Bai Xiaowei stood up, brushed his sleeves, and strode out of the door. Seeing this, Li Hongshan glanced at Bai Xiaowei's back with envy. At this age, he has such accomplishments and still has such a youthful mind, which is an unattainable dream for many older people.

The Helian family mansion.

This mansion used to be bustling with people, with common people coming and going and great scholars chatting and laughing. Now, this mansion is naturally much quieter than before, but it also has the tendency of small streams converging into a river.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Master are here to visit." Helian Xiong turned into a gust of strong wind and came to the central hall to report to Fu Cheng.

Fu Cheng was shocked when he heard this. He thought Li Hongshan was still on the battlefield in the Divine Realm.

He immediately told the older housekeeper, "Hurry up and prepare the banquet!"

Soon, Fu Cheng brought Helian Xiong and others to the main entrance to welcome guests.

Li Hongshan and Bai Xiaowei seemed to be walking side by side, with faint and gentle smiles on their faces, just like elderly relatives from afar who came to visit.

"Fu Cheng greets the Imperial Master and the Prime Minister." Fu Cheng bowed deeply to the two of them solemnly.

Bai Xiaowei extended a hand and helped Fu Cheng up, saying casually, "You are His Royal Highness the Northern King. In terms of seniority, you are above us. We cannot bear this courtesy. Don't do this next time."

Fu Cheng said calmly: "You two are my elders after all. No matter in terms of knowledge, experience, or realm, you two are superior to me. There will be many things I don't understand in the future. I hope you can give me more guidance. Fu Cheng will be grateful."

Li Hongshan cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness the young Northern King is becoming more and more like a king. The young are indeed formidable."

Fu Cheng bowed to Li Hongshan and clasped his hands, and humbly replied: "Excuse me, excuse me, please come in, elders."

The group entered the inner court, talking and laughing.

Li Hongshan had been here many years ago. At that time, the Helian family was at its peak.

But Li Hongshan would naturally not rub salt into other people's wounds.

The old man in the Helian family is really strategic and met a good son-in-law like Fu Cheng.

If there had been no Fucheng, the Helian family would have been wiped out by Yuwen Jun.

The three of them sat around a table, with Fu Cheng sitting at the top seat, pouring tea and water himself.

Li Hongshan and Bai Xiaowei also knocked on the tea table politely. It was very comfortable to get along with such a refreshing young man, at least that's what Li Hongshan thought.

As they were both young men, Fu Cheng was polite, considered the overall situation, and even deliberately found fault, but he could only find one fault, that of his poor background.

This person is almost perfect.

But Yuwen Jun is also a young man, and he always makes Li Hongshan feel uncomfortable many times and causes many elders a lot of headaches.

Sometimes it’s strange, but people who act like fools tend to have greater prospects.

"How is the battle in Haomiao City going?" Fu Cheng asked softly.

Li Hongshan took a sip of tea, savored it carefully, and said: "Haomiao City was successfully captured, but it is difficult to break through Lianheng Mountain now. It is the first gateway to the mountains and rivers of the Divine Realm, and it is as solid as a rock."

"General Yue Bo will lead his troops north to Haomiao City to join forces with the Hengchang army."

"This battle is difficult. We can only hope to break through the first gate of the God Realm before the God Emperor revives. If we don't seize this opportunity, history will not give us a second chance." "The Spirit Clan is confronting the Demon Realm. Although the Demon King was crippled by Gu Yong, there are still the Demon Clan Martial King and Mu Chun and other great talents supporting the country's destiny."

"Right now, the demon realm cannot move for the time being, but they may suddenly attack at some unexpected moment."

Fu Cheng's heart sank. He didn't expect that Marshal Yue Bo would take part in the battle himself.

Bai Xiaowei said, "However, Haomiao City is also the first city captured since the Great Conflict. The buildings are intact and the historical significance is extremely important."

"We need to extradite some humans to live in the Vast City. We need some northerners and some southerners."

"The north and south will merge and enter the vast city together to ignite the fire of human civilization in the divine realm."

"It can be considered a different kind of strategy."

"I came here today with the Imperial Master just to ask you to implement this matter. By the way, I'd like to have a meal with you."

Fu Cheng laughed and said, "You're being too kind to say that you're just eating for free. As long as you two are willing to come to my place to eat, you've given me enough face. I can't express my gratitude enough."

"I will definitely do my best to assist the Prime Minister in the matter of reorganizing the population."

Bai Xiaowei smiled delicately and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Northern King."

Before I knew it, the banquet was served and the aroma wafted around.

Fu Cheng stood up, made an invitation gesture and said to the two of them, "Please take a seat."

The table was filled with delicious food, no less than fifty dishes, all of which were colorful, fragrant and delicious. There were twenty kinds of soups alone.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaowei smiled strangely and said, "As expected of His Royal Highness the Northern King, the banquet is indeed sumptuous."

Fu Cheng said: "No matter how rich it is, it can't compare to the brilliance of the two elders."

Li Hongshan clapped his hands and praised: "You are really good at talking, young man. If Yu Wenjun were here, I don't know what would happen to me and the Prime Minister."

Older people like young people who are pleasing to the eye, and young people also like elders who are pleasing to the eye. There is no contradiction between the two.

Bai Xiaowei said: "Don't say that, Yu Wenjun might hear it, he has very good ears."

Only then did Li Hongshan realize that Liu Qinghua was still in Qiu Shui County. There were many Panlong spies roaming secretly in the entire northern land, especially in Bazhou, where there were even elite figures from Panlong.

"I heard it, it doesn't matter!" Li Hongshan laughed.

"Drink, drink!" Fu Cheng greeted enthusiastically.

……

Haomiao City, inside the palace.

Chen Xuan sat across from Yu Wenjun with his head down, muttering, "I had hoped to leave a story that would be passed down through the ages with the Imperial Master on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to come back with nothing."

He returned empty-handed and was unworthy of the title of the greatest general in the South.

Yu Wenjun consoled him, "In fact, I knew from the beginning that it would be difficult for you to achieve meritorious service. This blame was for you and the Imperial Master to bear. Now that both of you have returned empty-handed, those arrogant soldiers and brave generals will naturally see the situation clearly."

"After all, you have made a contribution to the overall situation."

Yue Bo's army was on the way, and when Chen Xuan met Yue Bo, he didn't know what to say. As for reminiscing about the past, it seemed that there was not much for them to talk about.

At this moment, the enthusiasm of the soldiers in Haomiao City gradually cooled down. Under Yuwen Jun's deliberate suggestion, most of the soldiers had realized that the next battle would be extremely difficult.

That arrogance was finally curbed.

The situation is gradually turning into what Yuwen Jun wants.
