"Ah? Hua Wuzhao, the commander of the Qin army?"
"He's from the capital, a relative of the royal family, shouldn't he be on the same side as the Wind King?"
"He doesn't usually have much contact with us, could it be... that he has already reached an agreement with Qin Xiangzheng?"
Everyone looked surprised.
In their view, everyone could stand up and oppose, except for people like Hua Wuzhao and Feng Yue who came from the capital!
Because everyone else was a local from Qinwangcheng.
More or less, they all have some connection with the Prince of Qin's mansion.
Guo Feng looked at the man and asked calmly, "Who is this person?"
"Your subject is Hua Wuzhao, Commander-in-Chief of the Great Qin Army."
Hua Wuzhao bowed to Guo Fengyi, then said calmly, "King Feng, what do you mean by temporarily acting as the Qin King City? I learned that after you were granted the title of King, you did not have a fiefdom for the time being. This Qin King City is rich in resources and is located far from the capital, so it has a great deal of autonomy."
He laughed and said, "King Feng, why don't you write a letter to the Empress and ask for the Qin King City fiefdom, and directly become the lord of the Qin King City territory?"
"Holy shit..."
"So that's what he meant?"
"And what's with that unruly attitude?"
The crowd, who were initially surprised, nearly coughed up blood upon hearing this.
Putting on such a high profile.
The result was that it was all a roundabout way of flattering and currying favor with Guo Feng!
"I agree with Commander Hua's opinion!"
At this moment, Feng Yue was not to be outdone. He quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Guo Feng, and said, "Qin King City has a vast territory. Although it is located on the border, it is rich in local specialties and is a good fiefdom!"
"Oh."
Guo Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this; these two were quite interesting.
They were both powerful figures in the Qin capital.
Although he was often hampered by Qin Xiangzheng and his subordinates outwardly obeyed but inwardly defied him.
After all, they were outsiders.
But on the surface, their power is immense.
It was even personally bestowed by the capital.
Therefore, their words at this moment are of great significance in consolidating Guo Feng's position as the temporary lord of Qinwang City.
He laughed and said, "I, Guo Feng, accepted the title of king only to suppress the rebellious Duke Guo. As for the fiefdom, the Empress can grant it if she wants, or not, it doesn't matter."
He waved and said something polite.
Then he added, "Alright, let's not talk about the matter of writing a letter to request an official title."
He said seriously, "Commander Hua, since you have stepped forward, I will give you a task."
"Please give the order, Wind King!"
Hua Wuzhao remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
He is very well-informed.
Every day, he would have people from the capital send him messages via flying sword, writing down major events and important matters happening in the capital for him to read.
He was afraid that if he stayed in Qin City for too long, he would become disconnected from the capital.
Therefore, he was very familiar with Guo Feng's actions in the capital, as this rapidly rising Wind King had risen to power.
He also knew that Guo Feng's foundation was currently relatively weak!
That's why he deliberately started by shamelessly flattering Guo Feng.
Speak up for Guo Feng.
He wanted to curry favor with Guo Feng so that his faction could develop better.
Now that Guo Feng has remembered him and is giving him a task, this is an even better opportunity.
Little did he know that Guo Feng was not only the King of Wind, but also a true candidate for the Emperor's son-in-law!
The most powerful man in the future empire!
Guo Feng nodded: "You shall notify the fifteen main cities of Qinwang City to each mobilize an army of 200,000 within five days and head to Lion Mountain City."
"At the same time, the Qin army will mobilize half of its forces to wait for the arrival of the central army of my Tianyan Lion Army before pressing on Guowang City together."
He paused, looking at Hua Wuzhao, "Are you confident?"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will immediately send someone to oversee this matter. Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with as a treasoner!"
Hua Wuzhao immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Guo Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Afterwards, he spoke with others about the policies and had them explain the situation of their respective areas of responsibility.
About an hour later, Guo Feng dismissed the meeting.
By this point, he had gained a clearer understanding of the Qin capital.
After everyone dispersed, Guo Feng had Qin Xiangzheng brought up and took away the spatial ring that Qin Xiangzheng always carried.
To his surprise, Qin Xiangzheng, as the city lord of a royal city, only had fifty million spirit stones.
In addition, there are some daily-use elixirs, magical artifacts, and magic treasures.
Although he was richer than the lord of a large city, he was still far from being as wealthy as the lord of a royal city.
Qin Xiangzheng seemed to understand Guo Feng's thoughts and sneered, "Guo Feng, I have to admire you. In less than a month, you have risen so quickly, even being granted the title of king and duke, and gaining the favor of the empress!"
"However, let me tell you, if you want to completely control Qin King City, you will need my help."
"The Qin capital is a complex place, not something a child like you can control!"
He paused for a moment, then said, "And you want my life savings? I can give them to you!"
"but."
He suddenly changed the subject, saying, "You must spare my life."
"You don't need to worry about how to control Qin King City."
Guo Feng chuckled, "As for your savings, I'm not in a hurry. I'll interrogate you slowly, and one day you'll talk. Will I let you live?"
He shrugged. "I can spare your life for the sake of Senior Brother Qin Tian, but locking you up is no problem."
"Then why did you call me here?"
Qin Xiangzheng's expression changed; he hadn't expected Guo Feng to be so difficult to deal with.
