Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Li Hu came in, nodded to Wu Feng, and sat down in the chair on the left.

"Here we are," Wu Feng said.

"Hmm." Li Hu picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of water, and took a sip.

Mu Lingyun was the second to enter. He strode to the center of the front hall, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "Your Excellency, Governor."

Wu Feng waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.

Mu Lingyun sat down on the right, her back ramrod straight.

Xiong Batian was the third to enter. He strode in and gruffly called out, "Your Excellency the Governor," before sitting down next to Mu Lingyun.

Han Yufeng followed behind, clasped her hands in greeting, and then sat down opposite Xiong Batian.

Zhou Tieshan was the last to enter. He clasped his hands in greeting and sat down next to Li Hu.

Once everyone had arrived, the front hall quieted down.

Wu Feng leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the people.

After a few days apart, these people all look somewhat different.

Mu Lingyun's gaze was more composed than before, Xiong Batian's spirit was also stronger, and although Han Yufeng still had that cold demeanor, the sharpness between her brows was even more pronounced.

Zhou Tieshan sat there with his back straight, much more at ease than when he first arrived.

The raids on the mountain strongholds these past few days have yielded considerable results.

Not only did they have more resources, but the loyalty of these leaders also increased.

Wu Feng opened the character panel and glanced at it. Mu Lingyun's loyalty had increased to over 90, and Xiong Batian, Han Yufeng, and Zhou Tieshan's loyalty had also increased significantly, all reaching over 70.

Winning battles and sharing the spoils is indeed a good way to improve loyalty.

Li Hu looked at Wu Feng and said, "The scouts have reported that the Liao vanguard is marching faster than expected. They passed the old site of Qinghe County last night and should reach Yingzhou City around noon today. According to their marching habits, they will not attack immediately upon arrival. They will first choose a place to camp about ten miles away, rest for the night, and then attack tomorrow."

Several people around looked at Wu Feng.

Wu Feng leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest twice.

After several days of training and clearing out, the new recruits have become veterans around level 40. Although they are still not as good as the elite troops that Mu Lingyun brought out from Qingfeng Village, they are still capable of fighting.

Meanwhile, Mu Lingyun, Xiong Batian, Han Yufeng, Zhou Tieshan, and others had reaped rich rewards and improved their strength after several days of clearing out the mountain strongholds.

Loyalty has increased significantly.

Wu Feng looked at Li Hu and asked, "Is there a chance to raid the camp?"

Li Hu shook his head, his tone decisive: "I'm afraid not."

He paused, picked up his teacup, took a sip, put it down, and continued, "They rested at the previous town, and no one was tired or the horses were exhausted. The Liao general leading the army this time is no fool; the marching route was chosen with places where there were supply points. Last night they set up camp in a town north of the old site of Qinghe County and rested all night. When they broke camp this morning, the soldiers were full of energy, and the horses were well-fed."

He tapped his finger on the table twice: "In this situation, the success rate of raiding the camp is not high. Moreover, they will definitely set up defenses when they set up camp, with sentries, patrols, chevaux-de-frise, and deer antlers. It's hard to say whether we can even burn down the tents if we sneak in; we might even be counterattacked."

After listening, Wu Feng nodded.

If raiding the camp fails, then we'll have to fight head-on.

He turned to look at Mu Lingyun, Xiong Batian, Han Yufeng, and Zhou Tieshan.

"Mu Lingyun, Xiong Batian, Han Yufeng, Zhou Tieshan."

The four men stood up simultaneously, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and said, "Present!"

"Gather your troops and be ready for battle at any time," Wu Feng said calmly. "The Liao vanguard has arrived today. Whether they can fight today or not, they will definitely fight tomorrow. All troops must be ready by tonight. Weapons, armor, arrows, and provisions—nothing can be missing. Be ready to leave the city and meet the enemy at any time tomorrow morning."

The four men replied in unison, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Wu Feng waved his hand: "Go and get ready."

The four of them bowed at the same time, then turned and walked out.

After the four people left, the front hall became quiet.

After watching the others leave, Wu Feng turned to look at Zhang Heng, who was still standing to the side.

"Zhang Heng," Wu Feng said.

Zhang Heng quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your subordinate is here."

"Have there been any unusual movements from the gentry in the city recently?"

Zhang Heng shook his head, his tone certain: "No, Your Excellency. We've sent people to keep an eye on them; they've hardly gone out at all. I've arranged for people to take turns guarding the residences of several aristocratic families day and night. In the past few days, apart from the servants who go out to make purchases, the members of the families have basically not left their homes. Occasionally, someone will come out, but only to check on their own shop, and then go back home after finishing their business. They haven't had any contact with outsiders."

He paused, then added, "My subordinates also have people keeping watch at the city gates, and they haven't found any correspondence between the gentry and those outside the city. Everything is normal."

Wu Feng nodded upon hearing this.

Most of these aristocratic families migrated from other towns. Although there are only two relatively large aristocratic families, they should still be kept in mind.

The gentry who moved from places like Yong'an County and Anping County had no roots in Yingzhou City.

Unlike the Zhao and Li families, who had been operating in Yingzhou City for generations and were deeply rooted in the city.

However, these newcomers are not entirely harmless.

Although they lacked local power, they had money, grain, and private armies.

If they collude with the Liao Kingdom and work together from within and without, they can still cause considerable trouble for Yingzhou City.

Therefore, we must keep a close eye on it.

He didn't want to be attacked from both sides.

If the city is in chaos before the 50,000 Liao soldiers have even entered, then there's no point in fighting this battle.

"Alright." Wu Feng waved his hand. "Have someone keep a close eye on things. Let me know immediately if anything happens. Don't wait until something serious occurs before reporting it; that will be too late."

Zhang Heng bowed immediately, his tone solemn: "Yes, Your Excellency. I understand. I will keep a close watch and report any suspicious activity immediately."

Wu Feng nodded.

Zhang Heng bowed again, turned and strode quickly out of the front hall. His footsteps faded into the distance in the corridor.

The front hall fell silent, leaving only Wu Feng and Li Hu.

Wu Feng leaned back in his chair, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and put it down.

Li Hu sat on the chair next to him, holding a teacup in his hand, slowly sipping his tea without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, Wu Feng turned to look at Li Hu.

"I'm going to check out the enemy camp tonight."

Li Hu put down his teacup, glanced at him, and said, "There are quite a few experts on the other side. You'd better be careful."

He didn't stop him. Having dealt with Wu Feng for so long, he knew the man's character well.

Since you've said you're going, then you've already made up your mind.

Besides, with Wu Feng's current strength, even if he is discovered while visiting the Liao Kingdom's camp, he should be able to escape unscathed without much trouble.

Moreover, Wu Feng's strength has increased significantly in the past few days.

Although Li Hu couldn't see through Wu Feng's current specific realm, the vague sense of oppression was stronger than it had been a few days ago.

Every time we meet, this person's aura becomes several degrees heavier; I wonder how he cultivated it.

"I understand," Wu Feng replied with a smile.

In the past few days, he has mastered the Zhuha Kung Fu to a minor level, and can now release a small-scale Zhuha poison mist.

We could try going to the enemy camp on the other side.

Although the army here is strong, the top martial artists here are even stronger, not as much weaker as they are portrayed in movies and TV dramas.

Captain America's stats are only ten times that of a normal person, which is already superhuman, and top martial artists are much stronger than that.

The stronger he became, the more he felt that Zhang Sanfeng, that grandmaster-level person, was terrifyingly powerful.

Wu Feng picked up his teacup, took another sip, put it down, and stood up.

"I'll go back and prepare first. I'll go by myself tonight, you don't need to wait for me."

Li Hu nodded: "Okay. Be careful. If you really have to fight, don't linger. Come back after you've finished scouting."
