C13 The Hidden Dragon War and the Military Strategy Iron Council (1/2)

The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was twelve zhang wide, with eight pillars and a golden statue of a great Peng standing in the center. It was intimidating, like a divine bird looking down on the common people.

All the guests who came to the lobby were completely shaken. They were so frightened by the formless pressure that they didn't dare to take a deep breath.

Feng Wanpeng closed the three inch long green jade scroll in his hand. He had already read this one three times, the smile on his face also appeared three times, as if he had met with some good fortune, causing him, who was a person without a word, to want to laugh.

Besides Feng Wanpeng, Master Ge and Housekeeper Liu were also seated on either side. Both of them were old, with white hair and a face filled with wrinkles.

However, they were not simple characters. They could take charge of themselves.

With a feather fan in his hand, Ge Bing glanced at the jade scroll and seemed to have already guessed a lot of things, and said indifferently: ”City Master, is there any news from the Grand Southern Mansion?”

The jade scroll in Feng Wanpeng's hands was called the ”Jade Flying Talisman”, a hundred thousand li long letter that could be reached in a day, was a true spirit treasure.

Since the Jade Flying Talisman had reached the Lingzhou City, then it must be because they had received news from the Grand Southern Mansion.

Master Ge and Housekeeper Liu were not outsiders and had followed him for more than ten years. Feng Wanpeng did not hide anything from them and smiled: ”The Hidden Dragon War that occurs once every twenty years, is about to happen.”

Ge Jun's eyes squinted and then became ecstatic: ”How long?”

”Three months from now, the autumn will be established. Purple Firmament Mansion City, Hidden Dragon Soars the Sky. ” Feng Wanpeng read out the contents of the Jade Flying Talisman s.

The significance of Feng Family's Hidden Dragon War was extraordinary, and it was renowned throughout the world. Anyone who could stand out in the Hidden Dragon War would have a bright future.

The Feng Family was a huge family with tens of millions of disciples. They were divided into various branches, and there were countless outstanding talents in each branch.

Just like how Feng Wanpeng was in charge of the Lingzhou City, controlling millions of people and a thousand miles of land; it could be said to be the overlord of a region. However, he was only a member of the direct line of disciples for the fourth generation of Feng Family, and could not even compare to the true famous figures of the Feng Family.

There were at least eight thousand direct line disciples in the fourth generation like Feng Wanpeng. Amongst them, there were also no less than a hundred outstanding people like him.

Every twenty years, Feng Family would have to assess the potential of the younger generation, pick out the ones with extraordinary talent and focus on cultivating them.

The Hidden Dragon goes out to sea, the wind blows for thousands of miles.

In another three months, it would be the day of the next Hidden Dragon War. All of the young generation of Feng Family's disciples outside would participate in this campaign, and whoever stands out from the crowd would become the leader of this generation of Feng Family. They could even become the candidate to become the Patriarch in the future.

The headquarters of Feng Family was located in the Grand Southern Mansion, and was also one of the strongest families there.

The Grand Southern Mansion was one of the eight great prefectures of the Divine Jin Empire, located at the southern side of the empire.

There were twenty-six counties under his banner, and each county was as big as an Asia. Beneath each county were countless ancient cities, and beneath each county were the counties.

Lingzhou City was only one of the one hundred and twenty-four ancient cities under the Bai Ling County.

Feng Family was definitely one of the three most influential families in the top three of Grand Southern Mansion, and from this, one could see the strength of Feng Family.

Feng Wanpeng laughed heartily: ”Twenty years ago, just how high and mighty did I get? I participated in the great battle of the Hidden Dragon Institute, charged through dozens of trials, defeated over a hundred opponents, and finally emerged above the crowd of others. I was selected by the elders of the clan and received special nurture before I sat on the position of Lingzhou City Lord, becoming the tyrant of a region.”

”I wonder what ranked City Lord was in the Hidden Dragon War twenty years ago?”

”Eighteenth.” When Feng Wanpeng mentioned this battle achievement, a wave of arrogance rose up in his heart, and he could not help but laugh out boldly.

To be able to place eighteenth in the Feng Family's Hidden Dragon Ranking, he indeed had the ability to be arrogant.

As for the matter of the Feng Family, he naturally had a deep understanding of it and said: ”Twenty years ago, in the Hidden Dragon Rank, the fourth generation direct descendant of the Feng Family had nine thousand four hundred and thirty-eight people, while the side descendant of the fourth generation had over seventy thousand. To be able to fight amongst so many people until the eighteenth place, just how heroic must the mayor have been in the past?”

After all, Feng Wanpeng was indeed an extraordinary expert. Even now, he still had a certain level of authority in the fourth generation of Feng Family.

Power dictates power.

Feng Wanpeng said: ”Twenty years have passed and the fifth generation of Feng Family has become even more prosperous. According to the statistics that the clan has transmitted, just the direct line of disciples has already exceeded thirty thousand, and among them, there are even a few outstanding geniuses that have appeared, fighting to the point where the experts of the older generation do not even have the strength to fight back. Many people predicted that the fifth generation would be the golden generation that would rise from the Feng Family, and their heaven-defying talents would appear from time to time, causing all the elders to be wild with joy. ”

”If that's the case, it would be difficult for him to become the top student. However, with the strength of the young master, it shouldn't be a problem for him to enter the top two hundred.”

Feng Wanpeng smiled as he shook his head: ”Suiyu, this child, has extremely high talent. I have absolute confidence in him, and his rank definitely isn't as simple as the top two hundred. If he were to join in the battle of the branch disciples, his chances of standing out are very high. ”

Feng Suiyu was merely an adopted son, and could only participate in the battles of the disciples belonging to the branch families beside the Feng Family. Even so, as long as his battle accomplishments were good, he would still be able to compete with the disciples of the direct line.

Feng Wanpeng's gaze turned as he sighed, ”In my life as a hero, I, Feng Wanpeng, have given birth to a son that isn't a good thing. If this darn thing, Feiyun, was even a tenth of Suiyu's age, I would be satisfied.”

”In the recent few days, this old man and Young Master Feng have conversed quite a bit. Although the Young Master Feng is a bit cynical, he's not completely useless. His understanding of military strategies is unique and even I am sometimes amazed by his ingenious ideas.”
