Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Liang Dahai's face, already not particularly attractive to begin with, was now filled with resentment, like a woman abandoned by someone else. Zhang Jingwei, standing nearby, frowned slightly, then dropped his usual condescending attitude. He walked over, gently put his arm around Liang Dahai's shoulders, and said affectionately, "Come on, I'll take you to eat hot pot. I guarantee you'll love it after you try it!"

Hearing this, a subtle glint of anticipation suddenly flashed across Liang Dahai's previously dull eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He feigned composure and nodded, responding calmly, "Oh, really? Actually, I've heard of this hot pot before. After all, I smelled its rich aroma as soon as I entered the city."

At this time, Zhang Jingwei laughed heartily, patted his chest and continued, "Alright, if you have any complaints, just go ahead and say whatever you want when we get there! By the way, after eating hot pot, I'll take you to my bar and I'll call two pretty girls to serve you well!"

However, Liang Dahai didn't seem very interested in Zhang Jingwei's arrangement. He just shook his head silently, then looked at him seriously and asked, "Master, don't you want to ask about the progress of the compound bow I made?"

Zhang Jingwei was stunned at first, but then he realized what was happening and replied with a smile, "It's a weapon that can penetrate a rock at a hundred paces. It's really impressive, as it's really opened the eyes of those old guys. I'll spend more time thinking about it and improving it. I believe it won't be long before it's officially put into use on the battlefield!"

After hearing this, Liang Dahai showed a gratified smile on his face, and then said: "In this case, I still have to ask the young master to personally review it, so that he can help me point out any shortcomings."

Zhang Jingwei waved his hand and responded generously, "No problem! I won't mention anything else today, just to pick up my good brother and go home together smoothly. Okay, stop dawdling, pack up your things quickly, and let's go!"

Liang Dahai nodded gently and replied, "Yeah."

Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by two officers in armor.

One of the officers stepped forward and said firmly, "Sir, he can't leave here."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingwei flew into a rage, his eyes wide open as he roared, "Humph! Which blind dog dares to block my path?"

The officer remained calm in the face of Zhang Jingwei's angry rebuke, and replied calmly, "If the son-in-law wants to leave, he can do so at any time. But Mr. Liang, you cannot take him away under any circumstances! This is an order from above!"

Zhang Jingwei frowned and shouted impatiently, "You two idiots, get out of my way!"

The officer showed no sign of backing down. He straightened his body and responded righteously, "If you insist on doing this, don't blame us for being disrespectful!"

At this moment, Zhang Jingwei suddenly remembered something and pointed at the officer and said, "Oh! I remember now. So you are the man who was guarding outside my house that day... What was your name...?"

The officer quickly clasped his fists and saluted, then respectfully replied, "I am General Song Geng! I hope you will be magnanimous and not make things difficult for me!"

Zhang Jingwei sneered and said provocatively, "Alright! Since you're so obedient to your superiors, then if you have the guts, just kill me. If you don't have the courage and ability, then get out of my way!"

In a flash, Song Geng's face changed. He quickly drew a gleaming sword from his waist with his right hand and shouted, "I have received a military order as heavy as a mountain! Mr. Liang, please return to your room and rest!"

Seeing this, Mu Tou, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward to protect Zhang Jingwei and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You actually dare to point a knife at my young master!"

The two sides are on the verge of a fight, and it seems that a fight is inevitable.

"Stop...stop!"

A reassuring voice was heard, and Zhang Jingwei was overjoyed. It was Gao Fei and Yi Feiyu who came on horseback.

Song Geng clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said in a clear voice: "General Gao, Captain Yi!"

Yi Feiyu stared at Song Geng with a sharp gaze, a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach on his face. He snorted coldly and said, "Is your knife only used to deal with these unarmed people?"

Song Geng's face showed embarrassment. He moved his lips to explain, but swallowed the words back and said softly, "Captain Yi..."

Yi Feiyu waved his hand, interrupting him and saying righteously, "This is General Huangfu's family affair. As his subordinates, it's really not right for us to interfere too much. However, you two should also take care of yourselves! Don't let your boss's family affairs ruin your relationship."

Song Geng took a deep breath and replied respectfully, "I appreciate your advice!" Then he turned around and faced Zhang Jingwei with a serious expression. He bowed and said, "Sir, this matter is of great importance. I must report it to the general first. Please wait here for a moment."

After receiving Gao Fei's nod, Zhang Jingwei had no choice but to agree and urged anxiously, "Then go quickly and come back soon!"

Not long after, Huangfu Changshui hurried to the barracks. Seeing Zhang Jingwei, he quickly smiled and said, "My dear son-in-law, you are newly married. Why are you not at home with Ling'er? Why are you running here to make trouble?"

Zhang Jingwei frowned, his face filled with anger as he shouted at Huangfu Changshui, "Father-in-law, what exactly do you mean by this? Why are you detaining my people for no reason?"

Huangfu Changshui smiled and said slowly, "What's yours or mine? We are a family."

Zhang Jingwei's eyes widened as he demanded, "Since we're family, why are you so determined not to let us go?"

Huangfu Changshui put his hands behind his back, looked at Zhang Jingwei with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Liang Dahai will be of great use to me. His killing power is enough to withstand thousands of troops."

Zhang Jingwei was furious upon hearing this and retorted loudly, "Father-in-law, he is a craftsman. His hands can create more valuable things, not just those cruel killing machines!"

Huangfu Changshui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile. He then turned to look at Liang Dahai and said loudly, "Dahai, make your own choice. If you are willing to follow me, I will definitely recommend you to the position of general. At that time, you will be surrounded by thousands of people and live a life of luxury and wealth from then on."

Zhang Jingwei was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Huangfu Changshui and shouted angrily, "Father-in-law, how could you be so blatant as to poach someone like this?"

Liang Dahai stepped forward and said to Huangfu Changshui, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your appreciation!"

Zhang Jingwei's face turned ugly and he called out softly, "The sea..." This call seemed particularly weak.

Indeed, he could not promise Liang Dahai any benefits.
