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

"If you are really as powerful as you say, then tell me why you don't just camp in the Jinyiwei station in the city, but stay in the mountains instead."

Xu Feng was not so easily fooled. If it were anyone else, they would have been overwhelmed by joy by now, but he was still able to think calmly.

As a newly established organization, there are certainly opportunities, but they are also accompanied by certain risks.

Even far away from the capital, it is not so peaceful. As for the capital's main guard post, the situation is probably even more difficult.

"Of course there's a reason for that. There are many spies from the Six Gates and Jianghu in Gusu City. I came here to get something done, and I don't want to waste my time on them."

Although Honglian is a girl, she also has the ambition to achieve great things, otherwise she would not have joined the Jinyiwei and shown up in public.

According to her, Gusu City has become the world of the Six Gates. Xu Feng is well aware of this. The situation in Gusu City is probably even worse than Honglian imagined.

The purple-robed captain who came to hunt Xu Feng was clearly on the same side as the Jianghu man.

There is no concealment at all, which means they are not afraid of being exposed. No wonder the emperor would directly set up a new organization.

There may be people in the Six Gates who stick to their bottom line, but there definitely won’t be too many such people.

Even if one can maintain one's nature at the beginning, it will gradually decay over time.

"Why do I feel like I'll go hungry every few days if I follow you? There are dozens of purple-robed constables in Gusu City alone. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Honglian stood up and paced around the room, looking as if he had never taken any hero in the world seriously.

"The Six Gates have been operating for many years and have recruited many of the greatest warriors in the martial arts world. From a superficial perspective, our strength is indeed inferior to theirs, but you must remember that quality is more important than quantity."

"All the Jinyiwei are able to obey orders and are carefully selected. Some even come from the military. In addition, since Your Majesty values ​​them highly, they would not dare to openly plot against us."

This is Honglian’s true confidence.

Xu Feng weighed the pros and cons and ultimately did not turn around and leave, which meant that he intended to take on this task. Now that he was facing off against the Six Gates, he could only feel at ease after completely eliminating this cancer.

The Human Emperor Banner is Xu Feng’s biggest secret, and it is also the key to his improvement in strength and his pursuit of the supreme power.

Under normal circumstances, he would not go on a killing spree outside, as doing so would inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

If there is the cover of the imperial court and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it would be much safer to raise the Human Emperor Banner outside under the banner of punishing evil and promoting good, and both parties can be said to be getting what they need.

Honglian needs Xu Feng to work for her sincerely, while Xu Feng needs to use his position to improve his own strength as much as possible.

"Won't you assign me some manpower? I'm a lieutenant commander under you. You can't let me be a commander without any troops."

Honglian was speaking with great passion just now, but when she heard Xu Feng's question, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. Normally, a centurion would command ten general flags.

But she had finally gathered her own people, and now she had no extra manpower to give to Xu Feng.

"Don't tell me there's no one?"

Xu Feng was about to get up and leave, but Honglian quickly stopped him, fearing that the strong man she had captured with great difficulty would leave her like this.

"Don't go. How about this? I'll give you two general flags, and you can figure out how to gather the rest of the people yourself. As long as you have a clean background and obey orders, there will be no problem."

It seems that the court was only responsible for paying salaries, and the rest had to be solved by themselves. Xu Feng even doubted whether the monthly salary could be paid on time.

Through the conversation with Honglian, Xu Feng could judge that the situation in the court might have reached a point where it could not be reversed.

The emperor's situation will only be more difficult than theirs.

Except for the founding emperor who was able to deal with the nobles and literati, other emperors could only maintain a superficial balance at best unless something unexpected happened.

The Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period is an example.

When Sun Ce was conquering the world, the Jiangdong clans could only charge into battle in front of him, but when it came to Sun Quan's rule, he spent his whole life trying to maintain checks and balances.

In a sense, Sun Quan was also a talented person. Xu Feng liked this character very much when he read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"You don't have to assign someone specifically for me. Just put me under your command. However, when I go on a mission, you have to assign someone to assist me."

Honglian agreed to this simple request without even thinking about it.

"That's no problem."

"Now, let's talk about the mission. Why did you come all the way from the capital to Gusu? You don't really want to rule the country here, do you?"

Although Gusu is a big city, it is relatively close to the border. If Xu Feng's guess is correct, there must have been a change in the war at the border.

"The Feng family is truly blind to recognize a great talent. With a treasure like you in their home, they actually chose to marry their daughter to Zuo Jincheng instead of someone close to them."

How could Honglian not know that Xu Feng had probably guessed the truth and had hidden nothing from him, telling him everything about the situation at the border.

The imperial court suffered repeated defeats in border battles, and there must be problems in several large cities close to the front line. Honglian brought people here this time to investigate whether there are any signs of collusion with the enemy at the border.

Because of her special status, the emperor agreed without even thinking about it. There was another reason for sending her over, which was to send a signal to those people not to cause trouble again, otherwise the court would not let them go.

"So, you have a strong background?"

Honglian is almost the same age as himself, but he is already a captain of the Jinyiwei. Xu Feng doesn't believe that he has no backing.

"Of course. My father is the governor of the Jinyiwei, and my eldest brother is the commander of the Jinyiwei. I have a good family background. If you work with me, you will have a bright future."

This is good news for Xu Feng.

No wonder Honglian's reports of merit were heard directly by the emperor; his connections were truly profound! But upon hearing this, everyone from top to bottom was a member of the Honglian lineage, which also illustrates the difficult situation of the Jinyiwei, a true lone wolf.

"In that case, I will have to rely on Miss Honglian from now on."

Xu Feng complimented her uncharacteristically, causing Honglian to get goosebumps and quickly ask him to stop.

After the joke, both of them became serious.

Honglian has been in Gusu City for more than half a month, and there has been no progress in this half month. No matter which direction he investigates, he will be stopped.

Even some of her subordinates were detained by the other side.

They didn't dare to kill people openly, let alone attack Honglian directly, but they could use various means to make it difficult for Honglian to survive in Gusu.

"You are too impulsive. They have been operating here for many years. It is not easy to secretly reveal the information."

Honglian is still too young.
