Sheng Fu

Chapter 735: In People’s Hearts [Please vote!!!]

The next day, at noon, at the foot of Henglong Mountain.

The Minister of War, Kong Chong, came with eight hundred soldiers armed with halberds and five thousand baggage troops.

Wu Mi, Jing Hanqing, Gao Zhi, Guo Shenghe, and Zhang Benchu ​​appeared together to welcome the Minister of War.

Kong Chong dismounted and bowed solemnly to the young men, asking in surprise, "Yuwen Jun is not here?"

"Or am I not worthy of being personally welcomed by Master Yuwen?"

Of the eight Gu couples, I should have seen at least one, but I didn't see any of them.

The Minister of War felt a little disappointed. He had been an official for many years, but he had never traveled a long way just for a young man, and after arriving, he had not even seen the real person.

Wu Mi stepped forward, clasped her hands and said, "Lord Yuwen has had some sudden enlightenment and has been in seclusion in the back mountains. He will not be seen in public these days. All matters of Hengchang Sect will be handled by the five of us."

"Perhaps I have disappointed the adults."

Kong Chong immediately laughed and said, "How could it be possible? A direct descendant of the Dragon Clan, two Eight Gus, and a star general. This lineup is already considered to be a respect for me, Kong."

Wu Mi said, "Please come in, sir."

The carriages and horses began to enter the mountain, and Wu Mi rode a Feihuang horse and personally accompanied Kong Chong.

Jing Hanqing and Guo Shenghe greeted the rest of the people.

Zhang Benchu ​​and Gao Zhi drove slowly on both sides of the road, accompanying silently.

The five thousand baggage and soldiers were all sent with real gold and silver. With a little squeeze, the Hengchang Academy in Qiu Shui County would be settled.

Kong Chong had been observing Zhang Benchu ​​out of the corner of his eyes. He controlled the chaos and had a restrained look. He was a dazzling star general. Even in the imperial capital, Zhang Benchu ​​had some fame.

But now that he had come to Hengchang Sect in person, Kong Chong realized that the people who held power were Wu Mi and Jing Hanqing. Kong Chong had originally thought that Zhang Benchu ​​was second only to the first person in Hengchang Sect.

Wu Mi said: "Actually, the scenery here is quite nice, you can enjoy it."

Kong Chong smiled and said, "Of course. Henglong Mountain is the best Feng Shui place in the human world. In the early years, countless strong men wanted to establish a sect here, but they failed for various reasons."

"This is also where Gu Yong rests."

"Mr. Gu Yong is a very interesting person."

Wu Mi heard this and said directly: "I thought that the Lord didn't like Gu Yong. After all, Gu Yong made many powerful people hate him. The Lord is also a powerful person, but he actually called Gu Yong "Sir."

Kong Chong quickly explained with a smile: "You're kidding. I'm not some powerful person. I respect Mr. Gu Yong from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Gu Yong has done many things that many people want to do but dare not do. He has also lived the kind of life that many people want to live the most. Compared with Mr. Gu Yong, I am simply insignificant."

Wu Mi also respected Gu Yong from the bottom of her heart.

Even without those great achievements in the early years, the dragon clan already owed Gu Yong a huge favor just for the fact that Gu Yong taught the "Ancient Book of Chaos" to Yuwen Jun.

Wu Mi said: "Your Excellency is too modest. In the future, there will be frequent battles, and you will have the opportunity to gain military honors and leave your name in history."

Kong Chong said helplessly, "It would be great to win the military honor, but I am the Minister of War and need to sort out many internal affairs. Although I am tempted to go to the battlefield in person, His Majesty has no intention of doing so. Even I don't know if I can go to the battlefield in my lifetime."

"Besides, even if I personally went to the battlefield, I might not be able to win a dazzling military honor."

Wu Mi looked at Kong Chong suspiciously and said, "Your Excellency is really joking. With your talent, as long as you are given a chance, you will definitely win amazing military honors."

"Could it be that the human race's military is full of talented people, and you, sir, have no place in the military?"

Kong Chong said embarrassedly: "No, it's just that your Master Yuwen and Jing Peiyao teamed up to kill the Lingxiao monster. It's hard for me to surpass such an achievement."

"Besides, even if I reach the Lingxiao realm, it will be difficult to kill a strong enemy of the same realm." "Although I know a thing or two about deploying troops, there are too many people in the military who know a thing or two. Besides, Xu Huanshan is also a rising star in the military."

"And under the rule of the Hengchang Sect, there is also a general star like Zhang Benchu."

"The battlefield of the future may really belong to the young people."

"Sometimes, doing some hard work for young people is not a shameful thing, but there are always some old guys who think that bending over backwards for young people will inevitably hurt their own reputation."

After these words were spoken, not only Wu Mi, but even Jing Hanqing, Guo Sheng and a few others felt ripples in their hearts. They did not expect that Lord Kong Chong could have such a broad mind and bearing.

They also believed that this was Kong Chong's true words, because Kong Chong was the Minister of War and a powerful Guiyuan man. He had a violent temper and naturally offended many people in the temple.

It is something that people yearn for that each generation is stronger than the previous one. But in fact, if the younger generation really surpasses the older generation, the older generation will feel very uncomfortable.

Not to mention that the older generation will feel uncomfortable, there will be many people of the older generation who will be jealous and will try every means to trip up the young people.

Wu Mi said: "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I am a straightforward person and I am not very good at speaking Mandarin."

Kong Chong laughed loudly and said, "It is precisely because they cannot speak Mandarin that the Hengchang Sect can accomplish so many great achievements overnight. I hope this momentum can be maintained for another fifty years."

Fifty years later, this generation of young people will be old, and it is time for them to serve as a foil for the next generation of young people.

Wu Mi smiled knowingly and said, "Of course."

Perhaps because of the military achievements of the Hengchang soldiers, or perhaps because this is the burial place of Gu Yong, the Minister of War was in high spirits and excited today, but Kong Chong did not know that Gu Yong was still alive.

They talked and laughed all the way until they arrived outside the Hengchang Palace.

Looking around, there are palaces in groups and distant mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, which is magnificent.

"It is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land." Kong Chong exclaimed sincerely.

Wu Mi said, "Please come into the palace and have a chat with me, sir."

Kong Chong looked towards the Hengchang Palace in front of him. He had heard long ago that Yuwen Jun's throne was very spacious and grand. However, he did not rush into the hall. Instead, he took out the imperial edict from his arms and handed it directly to Wu Mi.

"I won't announce the order, you can read it yourself." Kong Chong said with a chic smile.

Wu Mi took the imperial edict and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is very generous."

Then, accompanied by five young men, Kong Chong entered the Hengchang Hall for the first time.

Although the interior is not magnificent, it is majestic and has a vast vision.

Yuwen Jun did not show up, but the Minister of War came to Hengchang Palace, which was equivalent to meeting Yuwen Jun in person.

Jing Hanqing served tea and water, and dancers also came here to add to the fun.

Wu Mi said, "This is the only way to entertain you, sir."

Kong Chong laughed and said, "Now that the country is at war, I am happy to have a banquet and dancers to entertain me."

Wu Mi said: "I originally wanted to expand the Hengchang Palace, but the current financial situation is tight. Now it seems that the expansion of the palace is a long way off."

Kong Chong responded: "But you keep expanding the temple in people's hearts."

Wu Mi heard the words, savored them carefully, clapped her hands and praised, "Thank you for your kind words, sir."

Kong Chong said: "There is no such thing as flattery. I am just telling the truth."

“Some people and some things may be invisible and intangible, but they exist in history books and in people’s hearts.”
