Chapter 37: Hard Fight with Gu Tiefeng
He did respect border guard generals like Gu Tiefeng.
But... this is not the reason why Gu Tiefeng can question him, let alone the reason why he can point fingers at what he has done.
He was first the Crown Prince, then the Hanyang County Sheriff, and finally the Zuo Colonel of the Zhenbei Army.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan looked at Gu Tiefeng with an indifferent expression and said calmly:
"I am the governor of Hanyang County. I have my own opinions on how to act. Could it be that General Gu wants to exercise the power of the county governor on my behalf?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Tiefeng suddenly frowned, and Miao Huai also had a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
Is His Royal Highness so stubborn?
Gu Tiefeng was the commander of the 300,000 Zhenbei Army, and he was also very powerful.
Prince Ning, Prince Qi and other four highnesses met Gu Tiefeng, and their attitudes were all respectful, for fear of making Gu Tiefeng dissatisfied.
After all, Gu Tiefeng held military power and was the one they tried their best to win over.
But Lu Fan is...
Li Cunxiao, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng did not speak, but inadvertently scattered around.
As long as Lu Fan gives the order, they can easily suppress Gu Tiefeng.
As for Gu Tiefeng's identity and the consequences of killing Gu Tiefeng, they didn't care.
They are only loyal to Lu Fan and only obey Lu Fan's orders.
The actions of Li Cunxiao and the others did not escape Gu Tiefeng's eyes, which shocked him secretly.
Just now, he clearly felt that the murderous intent of Li Cunxiao and the other two people were locked on him.
If he dared to be disrespectful to Lu Fan, they would really kill him here.
"Where did this kid find so many strong men who are loyal to him...could it be arranged by His Majesty?"
He was secretly shocked and thinking in his heart, but Gu Tiefeng didn't show any signs of it on the surface.
He looked at Lu Fan deeply for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said:
"It was Gu who was rude. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Gu Tiefeng's behavior made Miao Huai next to him dumbfounded, and his eyes widened.
General, he...he actually apologized?
Counting from the first day he joined the Zhenbei Army until now, it has been at least twenty years.
In the past twenty years, he had never seen Gu Tiefeng apologize and admit his mistakes, no matter to anyone.
But now...
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be able to believe that this scene was real.
Lu Fan was also slightly stunned.
However, he didn't know much about Gu Tiefeng, so he didn't think much about it and just nodded lightly.
"Don't get me wrong, General Gu. I am not targeting you...but the evidence is clear that the Wang family intends to rebel, so..."
"Has your Highness captured the evidence of the Wang family?" Gu Tiefeng interrupted Lu Fan with a surprised look on his face.
As he spoke, a trace of suspicion and intrigue flashed deep in his eyes.
Lu Fan didn't notice this, he raised his brows and said: "If there is no evidence, how can I kill the entire Wang family?"
After receiving Lu Fan's affirmative answer, Gu Tiefeng was silent for a moment and nodded.
"In this case, Gu will take his leave. If His Highness needs help from the Zhenbei Army, you can ask Miao Huai to send a message to me."
After saying this, Gu Tiefeng turned around and left neatly.
Watching this guy leave, Lu Fan couldn't help but think about it secretly.
Regardless of whether he has a problem or not, this guy is a time bomb, and he must find a way to solve it.
If he wants to control the entire northern territory, then the Zhenbei Army must be in his hands no matter what.
It would be fine if Gu Tiefeng was willing to surrender to him, but if he was unwilling to surrender, then he could only be killed.
When this idea came up, a cold murderous intent flashed deep in Lu Fan's eyes.
Miao Huai happened to see this fleeting killing intent, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.
At the same time, a sense of surrender also arose in his heart.
Before, he had always thought that Lu Fan was really just as rumored, a cowardly loser who couldn't practice.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, he was absolutely sure that the rumors were absolutely false.
The Crown Prince in front of him has nothing to do with cowardice, and the rumors that he is even unable to practice may have some basis in water.
Just when Miao Huai was thinking this, Lu Fan's eyes fell on him.
"General Miao, we will strictly guard the city gates. If any members of the Wang family are discovered, we will kill them directly.
In addition, if anyone in the city dares to harbor members of the royal family, they will be punished for treason. "
Although most of the members of the Wang family were massacred today, not all members were killed.
After all, there are also some businesses of the Wang family in the west area of the city and the other three districts, and they are also looked after by the Wang family.
Although Miao Huai has arranged for people to clean up, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
In addition, there are some members of the Wang family who are not in Hanyang City, and they may not give up after learning the news.
"I will obey your orders!"
Miao Huai received the order with clasped fists in great respect, then he hesitated slightly and said:
"Your Highness, there is something that I finally feel the need to report to you."
"whats the matter?"
"About Wang Teng, the eldest son of the Wang family and the number one genius in the North."
"Wang Teng?" Lu Fan looked confused. This was the first time he knew this name.
Miao Huai nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's Wang Teng, the eldest son of the Wang family. He is the number one genius in the North..."
When Miao Huai introduced Wang Teng's information in detail, Lu Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a surprised look on his face.
Unexpectedly, such a genius would appear in the Wang family.
Not only is he extremely talented, but he also became a disciple of Xing Daojie, the leader of the Zihua Sect, and is the candidate for the next master of the Zihua Sect.
This background is quite impressive in Daqian.
"What is Wang Teng's current level of cultivation? And how powerful is the strongest person in Zihua Sect?"
Zihua Sect ranks ninth among the top ten first-rate forces in Daqian, so he naturally knows it.
However, he didn't know much about the Zihua Sect, or he didn't know much about all the forces in Daqian.
This can't be blamed on him. His predecessor was really useless and he couldn't access this information at all.
"I don't know what level of cultivation Wang Teng is now, but three years ago when Wang Teng came back to visit his relatives, he defeated the three deacons of the Li family who were at the first level of the Condensing Yuan Realm in one move."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Fan suddenly looked surprised, and Li Cunxiao, Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong and others were also extremely surprised.
Three years ago, he defeated a first-level monk in the Condensing Yuan Realm instantly.
Now three years have passed, and the worst is the fourth or fifth level of the Condensing Yuan Realm or even higher.
Such a talent deserves to be called the number one genius in the North.
When Lu Fan and the others were extremely surprised, Miao Huai continued: "I don't know much about the Zihua Sect. I only know that the Zihua Sect is ranked ninth among the top ten first-rate forces and is very powerful."
Seeing that Miao Huai didn't know much about Zihua Sect, Lu Fan nodded and did not continue to ask.
Now that the Wang family has been exterminated by himself, Wang Teng will never give up.
But he didn't care and didn't bother to take the initiative to find the guy.
For him, the most important thing now is to control Hanyang City and the entire northern border as soon as possible.
Only by fully controlling the northern territory can he barely have a foothold to protect himself.
As for other things, they are all side effects for the time being.
Just when Lu Fan finished thinking and planned to continue explaining to Miao Huai.
The two city guard leaders whom I had just met hurried over with extremely ugly expressions...
