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

Ordinary people all like to watch the excitement, and since this matter involves the Feng family, they usually have no chance to witness such a grand event, so they all gathered around.

The Feng family's recent mistake in transporting grain and fodder had caused quite a stir in Gusu City, but unfortunately the Feng family escaped unscathed. Although the details were unknown to the public, the spies of the major families all understood that if the Feng family fell on hard times, they wouldn't mind giving it a good beating.

"Do you think the imperial court is going to take action against the Feng family?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The food and fodder have already been delivered. Even if they really want to attack the Feng family, they must have a reason, right?"

"I heard that the Feng family kicked out that useless son-in-law a few days ago. When do you think the Feng family will recruit a new son-in-law?"

There was constant discussion around, but Xu Feng stood at the front and ignored it.

His original body's reputation in Gusu City was indeed not very good, and he was the object of everyone's ridicule. Even after his later changes, there was no way to reverse this situation in a short period of time.

It was impossible for him to be angry with the common people, let alone control so many people.

"Do you think I have a chance to become a son-in-law of the Feng family?"

"Give up now, you're just a butcher. No one wants you even if you give it to them for free. I can smell the blood on you from two miles away."

……

Ignoring everyone's discussion, Xu Feng's attention was always on this team of cavalry. Their attire looked somewhat unfamiliar.

There were about a hundred riders, only some of them were wearing armor, while the others were wearing dark brocade clothes. They were a bit far away and the patterns embroidered on them could not be seen clearly.

The leader was even more ostentatious, wearing a bright red brocade robe and a long sword on his waist, looking very majestic.

Moreover, Xu Feng felt that this person's figure and appearance looked somewhat familiar. When the other person came closer, he finally saw clearly that it was Honglian, whom he had met several times not long ago.

He had guessed many of the other party's identities, but he didn't expect that Honglian was actually a member of the imperial court. What puzzled him was how could someone from the imperial court go up the mountain to become a bandit?

My mind raced for a moment, and I couldn't figure it out.

The cavalry approached quickly, and indeed they were coming for him. Honglian saw Xu Feng in the crowd from afar, and ignoring everyone's surprise, he went straight to him.

The frightened people who gathered around Xu Feng to watch the excitement quickly retreated, fearing that they would be implicated, and some people recognized Xu Feng.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

"Xu Feng, why don't you accept the order quickly!"

In front of the Feng Mansion, Honglian dismounted, took out a roll of yellow silk from her sleeve, raised her right hand high, and read out the imperial edict.

Xu Feng was shocked when he heard this.

It seems that Honglian's identity is even more powerful than he imagined, which makes him even more grateful that he did the right thing before. Fortunately, he was tough and did not give up the credit he had obtained.

In fact, even if it was given up, Zuo Jincheng would not benefit from it, and he would just not get an opportunity.

After all, Honglian values ​​Xu Feng as a person, not Zuo Kuncheng.

No one knows better than her where the credit comes from.

"In compliance with the decree of the Emperor Tian Cheng Yun, a Gusu native, Xu Feng, has performed a remarkable feat in killing the Northern Barbarian Diezi. He is hereby promoted to a Hundred Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and awarded a thousand taels of silver and ninety-six shi of food."

"Xu Feng, accept the order, why are you standing there?"

Honglian's words immediately brought Xu Feng back to his senses.

Looking at the imperial edict in his hand and then at Honglian, his expression was somewhat complicated.

This was an imperial edict issued personally by the emperor. No matter what, even if there were no such great rewards and no promotion, it was still a good thing to be able to show up in front of the emperor.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The Feng family members had more complicated expressions than him. They had already noticed the movement outside. Even the old lady hurried to the door.

The expressions on the faces of the Feng family members were different. Feng Yumian was mostly curious. This was the first time she had seen an imperial edict in her life. If there weren't so many people present, she would definitely rush over to take a look.

The old lady's face was filled with grief. She was the only one present who understood what a great favor this was and what kind of changes an imperial edict could bring to a big family.

Thanks to the grace of His Majesty, Xu Feng has a bright future, but all this has nothing to do with the entire Feng family anymore. If the imperial edict had come a day earlier, she would not let Xu Feng leave the Feng family even if she died.

It’s too late to say these things now. Perhaps this is the fate of the Feng family, and they are not worthy of it.

Master Feng and Feng Yuzhi's faces were full of resentment, especially Feng Yuzhi. In her opinion, all of this should belong to Zuo Jincheng, and it was Xu Feng who took it all away.

The father and daughter had been blinded and were trapped in the fog, unable to see the situation clearly. They didn't even think about what Zuo Kuncheng was worth.

As for Zuo Jincheng himself, he didn't dare to have similar thoughts in his mind. He wanted to bury his head in his crotch. Honglian's identity and strength made him dare not have any other thoughts.

You can only pray that the other party doesn't notice you and that disaster will happen to you.

"Congratulations! Please show me the imperial edict. I have never seen it in my life."

When everything calmed down, Feng Yumian quickly rushed to Xu Feng's side. Others had all kinds of concerns, but she didn't.

"Yumian, don't mess around."

The old lady's expression was extremely serious. Feng Yumian didn't dare to say anything more. She stuck out her tongue and stepped aside.

"Old lady!"

"If the emperor favors you, your future will be much easier. Unfortunately..."

The old lady sighed deeply, but ultimately didn't say anything more. She really couldn't bring herself to win back Xu Feng.

Of course Xu Feng understood what the old lady meant. He just told her to take care of herself and not to think too much about it. He never mentioned anything else, as if nothing had ever happened and he didn't know Feng Yuzhi.

From then on, the two sides were people from two different worlds. Unless there was an accident, there would be no contact between them. For the sake of the old lady, he let bygones be bygones, but that was all.

Feng Yuzhi curled her lips, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. She wanted to say something, but the old lady's glance made her retreat.

Looking at Zuo Jincheng again, he had already hidden away somewhere and didn't dare to stay.

"Old lady, please rest early. I have to go back too."

Apart from the process of receiving the imperial edict, Xu Feng and Honglian did not have any other conversation. He just gave her a look that said you'd better tell the truth before leaving.

This matter must be clarified. Although the position of Jinyiwei is good, it also requires taking certain responsibilities. Xu Feng joined the court in order to obtain training resources, not because he has a sense of belonging to Dashun.

Your own strength is the most important.

Honglian smiled without saying anything. After knowing each other for such a long time, she already understood Xu Feng's character and of course knew what he was thinking, but it was inconvenient for the two of them to say more in public.

After watching Xu Feng leave, the old lady closed her eyes in pain, no longer paying attention to the people in the Feng family, and turned away dejectedly.

She has lived for most of her life, but she is only worried about the Feng family. She has realized that Xu Feng's departure may be the beginning of the Feng family's decline. The Feng family cannot even accept the blessings bestowed by God, so how can they prosper?
