Chapter 112: Anything I like is mine!
"Well, the fun is over, and it's time for me to take my leave. My friends, we'll meet again if we're lucky." Zhang Sanfeng waved his Taoist robe, stood up and said with a smile.

Before the voice fell, he had already taken a step forward, and when he looked again, the other person's figure had already appeared thousands of meters away.

"and many more!"

Before Gao Changsheng could make any statement, Lu Xiaofeng had already jumped up from the ground.

"Master Zhang, are you going back to Ming Dynasty? Can you take me with you?"

The words came out at lightning speed, and one could clearly hear the urgency in them.

The experiences during this period really left him with a shadow.

Gao Changsheng is extremely powerful and has a large army at his command, which should be enough to ensure the safety of anyone.

Lu Xiaofeng also felt that there would be no problems if he stayed with the other party for the time being.

But he never expected that after following Gao Changsheng, the danger he encountered would be even greater.

Although the forces from the Ming Dynasty chased him to the point of having no way out, at least he still had some ability to resist.

And ever since he met Gao Changsheng, he was almost pushed into a dead end by Fu Cailin, a grandmaster-level warrior.

This time it was even more exaggerated. It turned out to be an old monster named Xu Fu who appeared out of nowhere.

In other words, Xu Fu had been teasing him all the way and didn't kill him, otherwise ten Lu Xiaofengs might not have survived.

Not to mention Lu Xiaofeng, if anyone else encountered these things, they would probably be terrified.

God knows what kind of expert will jump out next time, so Lu Xiaofeng is really scared.

And the most important thing is that while Lu Xiaofeng was running through fire and water and rolling back and forth on the tip of a knife, Gao Changsheng on the other side was leisurely and not disturbed at all.

In this situation, anyone would probably feel unbalanced.

Now that he has met Master Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Xiaofeng certainly doesn't want to miss it.

As for the possible Ming Dynasty assassins that may appear, that’s a joke. When you’re following Zhang Sanfeng, what assassins do you need to worry about?
That is what it means to be as stable as a rock.

At least in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, it must be countless times safer than following Gao Changsheng.

It's not the difference in strength between the two, but Gao Changsheng's tricks that he really can't stand.

"It's not that I'm refusing. It's not a big deal to take someone back to Damingyuan."

"It's just that I rarely come out, and I'm planning to meet some old friends. I'm afraid it would be inconvenient to bring you along."

"How about this, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait in the Great Sui for a while. When I finish my business and return, I will take you with me."

A long voice floated from the sky, but everyone could no longer see the other person.

Is this old Taoist going to pick a fight with someone again?

A guess emerged in the minds of several people.

After all, if he really was going to meet some friends, there would be no problem in bringing Lu Xiaofeng along.

Only by finding someone to take action would one worry that the aftermath of the fight might affect Lu Xiaofeng.

And most importantly, they did not forget that at the beginning, Zhang Sanfeng addressed Xu Fu as old friend. One can imagine the value of the word "old friend" in the mouth of this fat man.

"Uh……"

As Zhang Sanfeng disappeared, two people in the field were stunned.

One of them was Luo Xian. When Zhang Sanfeng was around, just as she said, she didn’t need to worry about her own safety. Given the other party’s status, he would never attack her.

But now that the other party has left, the situation is different.

Just half a day ago, Lu Xiaofeng was still her captive, so she naturally knew how he had gotten here in the past few days.

Now it was her turn to fall into the other party's hands. God knew what would happen to her next.

If Lu Xiaofeng was the only one there, Luo Xian wouldn't have to worry.

Zhang Sanfeng did not control her acupoints. With her strength, she was not weaker than Lu Xiaofeng in a one-on-one fight.

But Lu Xiaofeng is not the only one on the scene now, not to mention Gao Changsheng, who is sitting there calmly but makes her feel a fatal threat all the time.

The fierce and powerful troops surrounding her were not something she could handle.

Thinking of this, Luo Xian's face could no longer remain calm, and a deep panic appeared in his eyes.

The other one is naturally Lu Xiaofeng. The saying “the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment” just describes Lu Xiaofeng now.

Originally he thought that with the help of Zhang Sanfeng, he could return to his hometown, Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly, Zhang Sanfeng just patted his butt and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Although the other party left that sentence at the end, God knows how long we have to wait.

And with these things happening one after another, Lu Xiaofeng was worried whether he could live to see Master Zhang appear again.

"Brother Lu?"

Just when Lu Xiaofeng was feeling extremely sad, Gao Changsheng's voice suddenly rang out.

Lu Xiaofeng's body trembled instantly, an expression of horror appeared on his face, and then he jumped up on the spot and jumped back several meters.

With his hands crossed in front of him, he spoke cautiously:
"You, what do you want to do?"

Before Gao Changsheng could answer, Lu Xiaofeng added:
"Don't try to trick me this time, and I won't go anywhere again."

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng like a frightened bird, Gao Changsheng was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered and said with a chuckle:
"Brother Lu, what do you mean? Where did this pit word come from?"

Looking at the smile on Gao Changsheng's face, Lu Xiaofeng's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells.

Gao Changsheng didn't care and continued to smile:

"Brother Lu, are you talking about what Gao asked Brother Lu to do?"

"Not bad." Lu Xiaofeng frowned.

"If Gao remembers correctly, this incident happened at Pegasus Ranch. Has Brother Lu arrived at the ranch?"

"Uh..." Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Of course he did not reach the ranch. He had just arrived at the edge of Yunmeng Lake when he was held down by Xu Fu out of curiosity.

Gao Changsheng did not wait for the other party to answer. After all, Luo Xian had already explained the matter very clearly.

"So Brother Lu's encounter with Xu Fu should have nothing to do with me, right? It's really unfair for me to be accused of cheating others."

Lu Xiaofeng moved his lips slightly, but couldn't say anything to refute.

After a few breaths, he slowly spoke: "I am sorry for my words, but I was seriously injured in this encounter and I can't go far. I can only let Brother Gao down on this matter."

"Hey, my friend, why do you have to be like this?" Gao Changsheng waved his hand casually.

"This isn't a big deal. If Brother Lu doesn't want to go, then don't go. Don't feel burdened."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng also breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that he was really injured. Although Xu Fu subdued him, he really treated him like a toy as Luo Xian said, and didn't use any heavy hands on him from beginning to end.

It’s just that Lu Xiaofeng was a little scared in his heart and didn’t want to go out again.

He had never believed in fortune-telling, but for the first time he suspected that he had been cursed by an unlucky star or that his horoscope was incompatible with the Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, why would he encounter so many bad lucks one after another?

"Brother Lu, don't worry. Just recuperate in the army. I will take care of everything else."

"Thank you, Brother Gao."

"Hahaha, it's a pity that we will encounter a big battle next, and there is no alcohol in the army, so I can't drink with Brother Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but pursed his lips. He hadn't touched a drop of alcohol in recent days.

Moreover, in order to tease him, Xu Fu and Emperor Shitian deliberately placed fine wine next to him, allowing him to smell the aroma of the wine but not allowing him to drink a drop.

This kind of experience really suppressed his alcohol addiction.

"Speaking of wine, the Six Fruit Wine from Pegasus Ranch is the best in the world, Brother Lu?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. Brother Lu didn't make it to the ranch. What a pity."

"Gudong!"

A loud swallowing sound came out of Lu Xiaofeng's throat involuntarily.

"Six, six fruit wines?"

"Yes." Gao Changsheng nodded pretending to be ignorant.

"That was brewed by the experts at Pegasus Ranch. Ordinary people don't know about it. Only because of the relationship between the Gao family and the ranch, I was able to know about it."

"But Gao doesn't like wine. Since Brother Lu is here, I will hand this matter over to Brother Lu so that he can have the opportunity to taste this exquisite wine."

"Forget it. Since Brother Lu is injured, let's not talk about this matter. We can talk about it when we have the chance in the future."

"Gudong."

"Gao... Brother Gao, that..."

Accompanied by another swallow, a slightly tense sound slowly came out.

Without any surprise, Lu Xiaofeng left.

With the expectation of the fine wine, we set out again on the journey to Pegasus Ranch.

"Haha, this little chicken is quite interesting. You sold it with its skin and feathers intact, but it's still happily counting the money for you."

A clear voice suddenly sounded, and Luo Xian, dressed in white, swayed gracefully to Gao Changsheng's side.

At this time, Lu Xiaofeng, who was walking away, had already disappeared. "So you think Lu Xiaofeng is a fool?" Gao Changsheng smiled.

"What else?" Luo Xian raised her beautiful eyes and snorted softly.

Gao Changsheng did not answer, but shook his head and asked: "What about you? Neither Master Zhang, Lu Xiaofeng, nor I, have forced you to stay, and your strength is not limited, so..."

"Why do you stay here and don't want to leave?"

Luo Xian was stunned when she heard this, but her beautiful eyes quickly turned and a touching smile appeared on her face.

"I am a weak girl, and I am flustered when I suddenly encounter this incident. Moreover, I am a prisoner. How can I dare to leave without the general's order?"

Her voice is so gentle and soft, and coupled with that beautiful face, it can definitely move 99% of the men in the world.

However, if you look closely, you can find that although Luo Xian had a smile on her face and her delicate body twisted slightly several times, there was no fluctuation in her eyes from beginning to end, and they were still extremely cold.

Gao Changsheng smiled softly, turned his head and looked forward again: "Are you waiting for Xu Fu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xian froze in place.

"You know?" She opened her red lips and uttered three words.

This time, Luo Xian's voice had returned to its original cold tone.

"Haha, everyone knows that Master Zhang will not do anything to you, and he will not stay here for long."

"Instead of wandering around, why not just wait here for Xu Fu to return, right?"

"Smart." Luo Xian praised lightly, but soon reacted and said:

"So Lu Xiaofeng also knew that he deliberately took this opportunity to leave in order to avoid my master?"

"Haha, this is interesting, this is interesting. These two people who claim to be friends are actually setting traps for each other. Such friends are really laughable."

Gao Changsheng didn't say anything, nor did he show any intention of explaining.

Luo Xian didn't understand that sometimes people who set traps for each other and wish the other person to be extremely unlucky are often true friends.

Lu Xiaofeng is not a fool, on the contrary, he is an extremely smart person.

Perhaps at first, because he was on the run repeatedly and was restless, he was tricked by Gao Changsheng a few times, but with his intelligence, how could he not figure it out? It's not that easy to be fooled.

He did take the opportunity to leave, avoiding Xu Fu who might return, and at the same time setting a small trap for Gao Changsheng.

Of course, Lu Xiaofeng also knew that Gao Changsheng, who was in charge of the two southern regions and had hundreds of thousands of troops at his side, would never be in any danger.

Although the two of them were trying to trick each other, they certainly wouldn't create a situation that would endanger lives.

As for the last time, it was an accident.

After all, who could have thought that Lu Xiaofeng would run into Xu Fu when he went to Pegasus Ranch? Fortunately, he took the initiative to step forward and talk to him. No matter how you look at it, this matter cannot be blamed on Gao Changsheng.

"Why aren't you talking?" Seeing Gao Changsheng suddenly fall silent, Luo Xian raised her eyebrows and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"hehe."

Gao Changsheng chuckled:
"I'm wondering, do you really think Xu Fu will return so soon?"

"He just lost a drop of phoenix blood, tsk tsk."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Xian's face changed instantly.

After being with him for so many years, she also vaguely understood Xu Fu's character. He seemed to despise everything, but in fact he was more cautious than anyone else.

To use Zhang Sanfeng's words, it is as courageous as a rat.

Now that he has lost a drop of phoenix blood and his condition has been damaged, he will definitely hide away to lick his wounds and will never risk coming out again.

"Haha, the war is coming, and the general is busy with affairs. Luo Xian will not disturb you any further. I'll take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xian flew away into the distance.

"Haha, if you were leaving just now, I wouldn't stop you, but now, I've changed my mind."

Along with a chuckle, a huge palm print flew out and pressed down on Luo Xian's head.

"boom!"

With a clear sound, Luo Xian fell back to the ground. Her whole body was no different from before, even her hair was not messy.

But her face was ashen at this moment.

"What do you want?"

Gao Changsheng shook his head, said nothing, and just waved behind him.

"Take Miss Luo Xian away first. I will consider her matter when I have time."

"Yes."

Luo Xian glared at Gao Changsheng fiercely, but he also knew the current situation and did not resist. He followed the guard obediently.

"Marshal, are we going to continue to Song Que's camp?" said Lieutenant General Li beside him.

Because of what happened yesterday, they did not continue to move forward, but instead entered the city nearby.

"Forget it. I've lost interest. I won't go for now."

Gao Changsheng waved his hand.

"What is the current situation in Lingnan? Are there enough food and grass in the warehouse?"

"According to the Marshal's order, our troops have successfully taken over the major cities and fortresses. The Lingnan garrison has also been fully taken control and is ready to be deployed by the Marshal at any time."

"Don't worry about food and grass. Lingnan is a grain-producing area, and the food and grass in the granaries of each city are extremely abundant."

"Besides Lingnan, there is the granary of Jiangnan, which can be transferred at any time with a warrant."

Lieutenant General Li paused for a moment before speaking again: "There is one more matter that needs to be decided by the Marshal."

"Our army has taken control of Lingnan and Jiannan very smoothly."

"The only question now is where the Marshal intends to establish his government."

Gao Changsheng looked up: "What suggestions do you have?"

"If it falls in Lingnan, only Jiaozhou and Huangzhou in Ningyue County are suitable. Other places are either too remote or too small."

"And these two places, Jiaozhou is the territory of the Song clan. Although it is wartime now, it makes sense from a legal point of view, but if the Marshal forcibly settles there, conflicts are inevitable."

"Moreover, the best area in Jiaozhou is Songjia Mountain City. It is the ancestral land of the Song family. It would be unjustifiable to rob it for no reason."

"In comparison, Huangzhou is more suitable. It is located in the center of Lingnan, and its tentacles can easily extend throughout Lingnan."

"Of course, if you choose Jiannan, there are many places. Both Bashu and Bashu counties are excellent places."

Gao Changsheng nodded, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked another question.

"Is there any movement over in Beimang?"

"No, it's still in the Orange State, with no signs of movement."

Gao Changsheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Interesting, are you waiting for something, or are you really worried?"

Although it was a question, Gao Changsheng did not wait for anyone to answer, but turned around and spoke:
"Aren't you asking for the address of the government office? I have made the decision!"

"Ah? Is it Huangzhou, Jiaozhou, or Jiannan?"

Gao Changsheng shook his head: "Jiannan is too far away, but it is close to Songdi, which is not suitable."

"As for Jiaozhou, the Song family's mountain city is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is indeed a good place for the Song family, but for me, it is a constraint on the advantages of a big country. Besides, Song Que did not make any mistakes. Instead, he took the initiative to guard the border. It is not good to bully him too much."

"As for the last Huangzhou, it is not bad, but I don't like it."

"Ah?" Lieutenant General Li was stunned. In the blink of an eye, Gao Changsheng actually excluded all the listed places, which made him confused.

"Did you bring a map?"

"Yes, I brought it. I brought it." Lieutenant General Li quickly spread out the map.

Gao Changsheng raised his eyelids and pointed at a certain place casually: "This is it. Go and tell everyone that this is where my residence will be from now on."

"Shirakawa!"

Lieutenant General Li recited the sentence instinctively, and a sense of familiarity quickly arose in his mind. The next second, he reacted suddenly and exclaimed.

"Shirakawa?"

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Gao Changsheng asked casually.

Lieutenant General Li shook his head instinctively, but soon came to his senses: "Marshal, Baichuan City is in Jindong Province, that, that is the Beimang territory!"

"Haha, who made me take a fancy to you?"

"Whatever I like, it can only belong to me."

"Go and convey it!"

"Yes Yes."

"Wait." Just as Lieutenant General Li responded and left, Gao Changsheng suddenly reached out and called out to him.

"Add one more command."

"Let Songque's troops advance fifty miles. I want to test what Beimang is planning."
