TFHS: Chapter 138

Feng Ming got a very detailed map from his father, pointed at the map, and said, “Look, this Ximing Dynasty actually has such a long and narrow strip, passing through the boundary between the Nanhuang Dynasty and the Shengyuan Sect. Chiri City is here. The location is really special. The Wind Eagle mercenary group can span the three major domains.

“But I heard from my father. At present, we only have some business dealings with the Ximing Dynasty and we don’t have much to do with the Nanhuang Dynasty. If there is a chance, my father won’t give it up. They will lay the foundation first before they can let go and develop in the future.”

“Say, does my father have some connections with the Ximing Dynasty? Didn’t my father go out on his own after leaving Gaoyang County? Could it be that he went to the Ximing Dynasty? That is why he and Aunt Feng stationed the mercenary group in Chiri City.”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “I think Junior Brother Ming’s words are right.”

Feng Ming even wondered if his other biological father was with the Ximing Dynasty.

Of course, that was all he thought. He wasn’t that curious about his other father.

He only recognized his dad. It was even more so after knowing he was born to his dad.

After they had free time, Feng Ming took Bai Qiaomo to wander around Chiri City with Yang Xin acting as their guide.

Yang Xin liked it very much and felt that he was back in the days of Qingyun City where he would follow the young master in and out every day.

He really liked the current life in the mercenary group.

Feng Ming looked at the surrounding buildings. “When I first arrived that day, I discovered that the style of the border town is completely different from the cities we have seen before. Gaoyang County looks much more refined while Chiri City is very rough.”

Bai Qiaomo said, “The most exquisite buildings belong to the Nanhuang Dynasty. You will know if you have the chance to go there and see it in the future.”

Yang Xin also nodded. “I have also heard people saying this. The current ruler of the Nanhuang Dynasty is the empress. Next time the mercenary group goes on a mission to the Nanhuang Dynasty, maybe I can go there to open my eyes.”

Feng Ming added, “Then I’ll go too.”

Bai Qiaomo smiled as he listened to them talking about where they would go. Yang Xin also introduced Feng Ming to the interesting places in the city and wanted to take the young master to visit those places.

The three of them spent a lot of yuan crystals while shopping and bought a bunch of things they liked.

There were not only local specialty items but also specialty items brought in by the merchants from the Nanhuang Dynasty and Ximing Dynasty. Feng Ming found everything new and interesting, so he was generous in spending money.

This might seem to be the case in the eyes of others, but it didn’t mean much to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. After all, they needed a lot of yuan crystals for their own cultivation, and the Xirang was a big swallower of yuan crystals as well.

Compared with these two, the money spent right now was a drop in the bucket.

But in the eyes of the cultivators who paid attention to them, they felt that this ger young master was really favored.

Some powerful cultivators followed along and did the math for Feng Ming. Along the way, Feng Ming must’ve spent a total of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan crystals. Feng Jinlin was really willing to give it to them.

If Feng Jinlin knew what they were thinking, he would be very proud to tell them that his ger didn’t spend a single yuan crystal from the mercenary group. He earned it himself. Did he need others to worry about it?

“Young Master, look, this restaurant was opened by a merchant from the Nanhuang Dynasty. There are many dishes unique to the Nanhuang Dynasty.”

Feng Ming became excited. “Then let’s go in and have a taste. Brother Bai, let’s go.”

Bai Qiaomo had no objection.

The two of them entered the building, and Yang Xin ordered food and drinks. The food and drinks came quickly. The cooking methods and ingredients were indeed different from what they usually ate.

Feng Ming was very interested and felt that he and Bai Qiaomo could eat all over Chiri City in the remaining time.

As the three of them were eating and chatting, two more guests came up to the second floor where they were. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo glanced over inadvertently before exchanging looks with each other.

They both had a strange look in their eyes because they hadn’t expected this person to be in the border city.

Yang Xin also glanced over and said with surprise, “I didn’t expect to meet Commander Yang from the Iron Armor Army to come and dine here. I don’t know the other person. I guess he is either a friend of Commander Yang or a colleague.”

Of course, there were garrisons in the border cities. The five major forces in the southeast, northwest, and central area didn’t live in harmony. Sometimes, they clashed due to interests and territory.

The army stationed here had the responsibility to protect the homeland.

Feng Ming heard what his father had said when introducing the situation here in the past few days. There was part of the armored army in Chiri City, but the base camp of the border city’s garrison wasn’t in Chiri City.

The top leader of this garrison was a general surnamed Zhang, who was very powerful. There were three commanders below him, and Commander Yang was obviously one of them.

Feng Ming had only heard these introductions. He hadn’t expected to meet one of them in the restaurant today.

The other person surprised Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, because he was precisely the silver armored guard in the Silver Armor Army that they had seen in Guanglin City.

At that time, he and another silver armored guard were standing on the wall of the Wu Mansion. Later, the corpses were piled up at the door of the Wu Mansion, which was also the masterpiece of him and the other guard.

A few months later, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo came to Chiri City and the guard actually came here too.

It was too much of a coincidence.

Feng Ming decided to go back and tell his father about this. He didn’t know if the silver armored guard came to Chiri City to see his friend or because he had other official duties.

If he had other official duties, Feng Ming’s father would have to pay more attention to avoid involving the Wind Eagle mercenary group.

Feng Ming didn’t tell the truth to Yang Xin. He only pretended to look at Commander Yang curiously before continuing to eat and chat.

Commander Yang and the silver armored guard also glanced at Feng Ming’s group out of the corner of their eyes. They paused for a moment before Bai Qiaomo’s age and cultivation were quite eye-catching.

The two people entered the private room and ordered the food. After the door was closed, Commander Yang spoke in a very familiar manner to the silver armored guard.

“Why? Did you take a fancy to that young man just now? He is so young and is already in the late stage of the essence liquid realm. He actually appeared in our city. This young man must’ve come from outside, or I would know him. Do you want me to help you check?”

No matter whether it was the Silver Armor Army or the Gold Armor Army, they needed to constantly absorb new blood.

Part of this new blood was selected from the Iron Armor Army, and part was absorbed from the outside world. How could they not be moved when seeing a good seedling?

The silver armored guard was indeed a bit moved. “Okay, help me check the details of that kid first and his situation.”

“Okay, no problem. Brother King is here for a rare visit. I wanted to take you to drink some strong wine but you actually enjoy the food and wine in this restaurant. I can only risk my life to accompany you.”

“You don’t need to,” the silver armored guard called Kong Zhao said angrily.

The two of them didn’t talk about serious business. After the food and drinks were served, they chatted about gossip, such as some recent events in the city and within the dynasty.

Once Feng Ming’s group finished eating and drinking, they left the restaurant and passed under the window. Kong Zhao glanced down unintentionally and he suddenly got a strange look in his eyes.

Commander Yang followed his gaze and saw that they were the three people from before. Among them was the boy that Brother Kong was interested in.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Kong Zhao shook his head uncertainly. For some reason, the moment he saw Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo walking side by side, he somehow thought of the sticky pair in their thirties that he had seen in Guanglin City a few months ago.

At that time, it was too much for his eyes so he quickly moved away after one glance. It felt very inconsistent.

Now these two people, a ger and a man, had a somewhat sticky relationship with each other. They were somewhat similar to the middle-aged pair, but the current situation was more normal.

After the two people walked away, Kong Zhao looked over and felt that the backs of the two people were somewhat similar to the two middle-aged men at that time.

He smiled. “Maybe I made a mistake. I’m still waiting for you to check the information.”

“Yes, it seems that Brother Kong is really anxious. Don’t worry, I’ll have someone check it when I get back after drinking here. I will deliver it to you before you go to bed tonight.”

Was there anyone in this city that he couldn’t find out information about? Impossible.

Since they met the silver armored guard, Feng Ming, and Bai Qiaomo stopped wandering around and hurried back to the station of the mercenary group. Feng Ming told his father about the guard.

Feng Jinlin nodded seriously. “I know, I will be careful. Just pretend you don’t know anything and go play.”

Feng Jinlin also felt it was a coincidence that the silver armored guard from Guanglin City a few months ago appeared here in Chiri City. The possibility of a purely private trip was too small, so he had to guard against it.

Feng Ming wasn’t worried at all after telling his father. His father was here, there was no need for him to worry.

He didn’t know that his and Bai Qiaomo’s information would appear in front of Commander Yang and Kong Zhao, the silver armored guard, that night.

The identities of the two people were very clear. After a little inquiry, they found that the pair were the ger child and son-in-law of Captain Feng Jinlin. They had just arrived in Chiri City to visit Feng Jinlin a few days ago.

Both of them weren’t very old. If Bai Qiaomo was a genius, Feng Ming wasn’t much inferior because he was younger than Bai Qiaomo.

“It turned out to be them.” Kong Zhao was a bit surprised. He actually knew the identities and origins of these people.

Of course, he might not be clear about it if he hadn’t dealt with the Wu family’s affairs a few months ago. It was really a coincidence.

Commander Yang was also surprised. “You actually know them? What are their origins? I have heard of Captain Feng of the Wind Eagle mercenary group. Captain Feng is a capable man. He worked in the Ximing Dynasty in his early years and later left the Ximing Dynasty for unknown reasons, returning to the Dongmu Dynasty. For more than ten years, he personally wasn’t in Chiri City, but his subordinate called Feng Yue developed his power until he came in person a year ago. Then the developed momentum of this mercenary group increased rapidly.”

Kong Zhao smiled. “You don’t know where he left after leaving ten years ago, and you don’t know what his background is. He is from a noble family in Gaoyang County. You know the Feng family, right? Feng Jinlin is the son of a concubine of the head of the Feng family.”

Commander Yang really knew this family and was even more surprised. “It turned out that he is from the Feng family. Could it be that he was entrusted by the family to come here to develop their power?”

Kong Zhao shook his head. “That isn’t necessarily true. It should be Feng Jinlin’s own power. He has a bad relationship with the head of the Feng family. The restaurant wasn’t a place to talk, so I didn’t tell you about what happened before. I was involved in the Wu family and checked the Wu family’s affairs. I found the connection between the Wu family and Feng family of Gaoyang County.”

He thought about Bai Qiaomo, whom he saw during the day and who was in the essence liquid realm. “What a good boy. When did he repair his dantian? I didn’t hear about it before?”

“What’s going on?” Commander Yang asked curiously.

Kong Zhao told the story of the dispute between Young Master Wu Yingyan of the Wu family and Bai Qiaomo. Bai Qiaomo was ruined by Wu Yingyan and reduced to a useless person.

Commander Yang was also shocked when he heard this.
