The peerless overlord surrendered.
If he can't even help his father, then he is nothing in the eyes of others.
He didn't dare to confront the board of directors.
He could only bury his hatred in his heart and wait for the day when he could get back everything he had lost.
At this time, another group of people were also complaining.
"Captain, this is the second time we've lost track."
"Alas, their boat is too fast. Next time, we should get more people to monitor the entire river section."
"Captain, this requires the Guild Master's approval. We need too many ships, and I'm afraid we can't get them all together in a short time."
"Well, that's not a problem. We don't actually need many ships. We just need to have people ambushed at various points along the way and record the places the ship must pass through. The number of people needed is quite large."
"I understand, but this must be very time-consuming, right?"
"Yes, there are too many tributaries in the river. We can only do it if the president agrees."
This is because the Nether Wolf Guild still has evil intentions.
I lost Yi Ruxuan a few days ago, and the same thing happened this time.
This cannot be blamed on them, as the disadvantage in speed cannot be made up for.
At this time, Fengyun was on his way back to Qiubai Village.
…
After a day and night of sailing, we returned to the village.
When passing by the city gate, he went up to the city wall to see the road leading to the cliff.
I found that Li Changgong is quite efficient.
A brand new yellow mud road hundreds of meters long lies on the edge of the cliff.
The road is not wide, but it is wide enough for one person to go up.
At this time, Li Kui, who had been guarding the city wall, came over and said:
"My Lord, when can we go fight and kill people again?"
Seeing this murderous maniac, Feng Yun could only say something to comfort him:
"You should guard the village first. If there is a fight, I will definitely call you first."
Hearing this, Li Kui said happily:
"Okay, my lord. Leave this to me. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to the village."
"Well, do you have any opinions about our village these days?"
Li Kui touched the back of his head and thought for a moment before saying:
"I think our cafeteria needs to be expanded. When we eat together, I feel like sometimes we don't have enough meat to eat."
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to the village chief and ask him to prepare some more food for you."
"Excellent, thank you, my lord."
…
After returning to the village, Fengyun didn't see anyone and went to the altar first to use up all the sacrifices that had not been made in the past few days.
This brought dozens more people to the village, and Fengyun no longer had to do anything else, as Li Changgong would arrange everything.
He would come back to report only after Li Changgong finished his work.
"My Lord, there are no special individuals after this appraisal. However, we have a few more blacksmiths and tailors."
"Well, pick out 20 people and I'll let Zhang Sanmao take them away."
"Ah? Where are we taking it?" Li Changgong asked in confusion.
"We have a new subsidiary village. I need to arrange some manpower for that village first."
Fengyun is planning to let Lan Yu have his first batch of subordinates.
"That's great, my lord. What kind of job do you need?"
"Farmers, they all need to become soldiers."
"Okay, I understand."
"Is there anything else happening in the village these days? About the outside world."
"Yes, our militia has discovered a few more villages. I've sent some of our eloquent villagers to smooth things over."
"good."
Fengyun shook his head after hearing this. It wasn't that it was bad, but that it was too good.
If his villagers had been so capable in the past, they wouldn't have developed so slowly.
Just then, Zhang Maosan came running over quickly.
"My Lord, someone is coming..."
We have just entered the village, why is there trouble again? Fengyun really wants to curse.
I have been through so much in the past few days. Can I just give myself some peace and quiet?
Somewhat annoyed, he asked, "Someone is coming to attack us again?"
"No! No, it's a very good thing."
"Oh? What good news?"
"Someone from the imperial court has come and said he wants to reward the lord."
"Hehehe, this is a good thing. Although it's a little late, it's a good thing. Where are the people?"
"He's still at the ferry! He said you should go find him yourself."
"Who is it?"
"He speaks in a effeminate way. He might be a eunuch."
These eunuchs are so annoying. They rely on the fact that they are people in the palace and look down on everyone.
Fengyun can't stand them, but now...
Of course, he who knows the times is a hero, so I have to go there in person.
…
As soon as they arrived at the river, Fengyun didn't show any dissatisfaction at all. He was respectful and humble.
"Hahaha, I didn't know the young eunuch was coming. Please forgive me for not coming to greet him."
"No thanks, this is the imperial decree from His Majesty, please accept it."
The young eunuch did not ask for a bribe, nor did he read the imperial edict, but handed it directly to Fengyun.
Then, without any greeting, he turned around and got on the boat and asked someone to take off.
This made Fengyun somewhat uncomfortable.
What is this situation?
He is different from the eunuchs he has interacted with in the past.
But on second thought, it makes sense.
How could he catch the eyes of these eunuchs now? They thought they were honoring him by even looking at him.
It just so happened that he didn't need to entertain them, Fengyun was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.
"By the Emperor Tian Chengyun, I decree: Commoner Fengyun achieved outstanding military exploits in the battle against Changsha, ranking first in merit. He is specially appointed Colonel. I decree this!"
Liu Hong was still as stingy as ever, and it was impossible to expect him to reward him with valuable items.
Fengyun would certainly not be disappointed if he was not appointed as a general.
This is a captain, only one step away from being a general.
You should know that below these there are sergeants, squad leaders, captains, and military marquises.
Being able to directly skip four military positions was already better than he expected.
You know, he had no expectations at all, and the reason was not Zhu Jun.
Fengyun has no prejudice against Zhu Jun, but rather likes him very much.
The main reason lies with Liu Hong.
With his ruthless personality, it is impossible for Fengyun to contact him with his current identity. Without the opportunity to give gifts, there is naturally no way he can think of getting a good position.
"Hehe, now I'm a lieutenant. I can lead troops out with full authority."
But the number is a bit small, only 700 people.
But for him right now, it is quite huge.
These 700 can form an independent army, and the advantage is that they do not need to take up the quota of villagers.
Fengyun immediately transferred the soldiers originally allocated to Lan Yu to his own name, which did not hinder Lan Yu's command of the troops.
Fengyun then brought the militias of Lan Yu, Li Kui, Ruan Xiaoer and Tiezhu under his own command.
This will be more conducive to the development of the village.
After completing these operations, Fengyun waved his hand.
"Alright, everyone go back to your own business. Ruan Xiaoer, come with me, let's go salvage the sunken ship."
"Yes, my lord!"
