Your Human Emperor Banner is already emitting evil spirits, and you're still pretending to be a

The court was arguing fiercely. Meanwhile, Xu Feng had also made some achievements in Gusu City.

With the support of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Xu Feng quickly began to recover his power in Gusu City.

First, he took advantage of the remaining forces from the previous battle to control the entire Linhai County. Later, Xu Feng proposed many new business models and began to make profits.

"Sir, what is a buffet?"

Honglian fell into deep thought as she looked at the new catering model launched by Xu Feng. It was the first time she had heard of this term.

"A buffet is simple. You pay a certain amount of money and eat whatever you want, but you can't waste it, and there's a time limit."

After all, Xu Feng traveled from the modern era and naturally had to bring the modern business model here.

If you think about the modern business models, the most successful ones are buffets and some new types of snacks.

For example, fried chicken, hamburgers, milk tea or some pastries.

Of course, in order to make profits as quickly as possible, Xu Feng’s target customer group is also wealthy families with high-end consumption.

These wealthy people are naturally not short of money. What they want is this unique enjoyment and distinguished service treatment.

It was because Xu Feng had figured this out that he was able to quickly roll out the business model and quickly enter the profit-making stage.

Of course, Xu Feng handed over most of the profits to the national treasury, and for a time the emperor's pockets were filled.

"Hahaha……"

"I was right about him. Xu Feng is indeed a talented person."

After seeing the memorial sent from Gusu City, the emperor couldn't stop smiling.

The previous governor of Linhai County was confiscated and killed for colluding with Japanese pirates, and the entire city was plunged into panic.

But unexpectedly, driven by Xu Feng's business model, the business soon returned to its prosperous state.

Moreover, as Xu Feng's power grew, the amount of silver handed over to the national treasury each year also continued to increase.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu is truly a genius of Dashun."

The eunuchs around the emperor naturally offered flattery from time to time, "However, without your Majesty's support, Master Xu's talents would be difficult to display."

The emperor was overjoyed after hearing this. He immediately issued an imperial decree, summoning Xu Feng to return to Beijing immediately.

After receiving the emperor's edict, Xu Feng dared not delay. He immediately handed over the affairs of Gusu City to his new wife to take care of, and hurried towards the capital with Honglian.

After about three days of travel, Xu Feng successfully arrived at a forest on the road to Beijing.

"Sir, we will arrive in the capital in one day."

The subordinates in the front immediately came to report, "It's getting late today, why don't we stay here for the night."

Xu Feng looked at the sky and nodded slightly.

"Everyone has worked hard following me to the capital. The audience is still some time away, so we can rest here for a night before leaving."

"As ordered."

His men immediately set up camp in the woods, and Xu Feng was seen walking alone near the woods.

"cough……"

Suddenly a long-sounding sword flew over, and Xu Feng, sensing the danger, rolled over and caught it.

"You really have some skills. I didn't expect you to be able to catch my sword."

Suddenly, a young woman in red clothes flew in front of Xu Feng.

The other person was wearing heavy makeup and a bright red robe, which made her look particularly eye-catching.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

Xu Feng naturally became alert when his eyes were attacked, and at the same time he drew his sword.

"Why are you so nervous?"

The girl in red pretended to be relaxed and stared at Xu Feng.

"I heard you're a very capable person, so I want to recruit you under my command."

The woman in red looked at Xu Feng arrogantly and said, "I am the leader of the Fire Cult, my name is Qi Huanhuan."

Holy Fire Cult?

Xu Feng frowned slightly after listening to the other party's introduction.

Of course Xu Feng had heard of this sect, but it was not an orthodox sect in the martial arts world, and was even called a demon sect by many orthodox sects.

"Why should I join you?"

The corners of Xu Feng's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and he looked at Qi Huanhuan with contempt.

"I don't even consider a cult leader like you worthy of my respect, but I want to warn you: if you do anything against the will of heaven and earth again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

After all, the other party did not offend Xu Feng, so Xu Feng did not kill Huanhuan for the time being.

"What do you mean by these words? Our Holy Fire Cult has also been slandered by some people. Things are not what you imagine."

Qi Huanhuan was naturally unhappy about being slandered for no reason. She wanted to explain to Xu Feng, but Xu Feng was unwilling to listen to her.

"Leave as soon as possible before I change my mind, or I will make you regret it."

Thinking that he still had to go to Beijing to meet the emperor, Xu Feng naturally did not want to get too entangled with Qi Huanhuan, so he turned around and returned to the camp.

Recalling the scene of his chance encounter with Qi Huanhuan just now, Xu Feng immediately increased his manpower just in case.

"Sir, why did Qi Huanhuan ask us to join the Demon Cult? I heard they are elusive, so how could they appear near the capital?"

The Demon Cult has a bad reputation. Not only do the orthodox sects in the martial arts world want to wipe it out, even the imperial court wants to destroy it.

It was not a wise choice for Qi Huanhuan to rashly appear near the capital.

"It has nothing to do with us, so there's no need to think too much about it."

Xu Feng frowned slightly and suppressed his doubts. "As long as this female devil doesn't provoke us, let's not talk about other things for now."

The more important thing in Xu Feng’s mind right now is to fight across the sea to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates. Only after solving the external threat will he consider solving the internal troubles.

If the Demon Cult really dares to do evil, Xu Feng will naturally not let them go.

Early the next morning, Xu Feng and his group packed up and prepared to continue their journey. However, just as they reached the middle of the fork in the road, Qi Huanhuan stood at the intersection with an arrogant look on his face.

"What do you want?"

Xu Fengyin suppressed his anger and seemed a little impatient. "This is near the capital. I advise you not to do anything reckless."

"I don't like to hear you say that."

Qi Huanhuan's expression suddenly changed. "I sincerely want to invite you to join us. Why are you rejecting me?"

"Your reputation in the martial arts world has long been ruined by what you have done. Leave immediately and do not tarnish the name of our young master."

Without waiting for Xu Feng to speak, Honglian, who was standing aside, was the first to rush forward and draw his sword against Qi Huanhuan.
