Chapter 229

After speaking, Su Xuan didn't wait for Zhang Ning to give an answer, waved his hand, walked out of the courtyard, greeted Xu Chu and several personal guards guarding the door, and left Zhang Ning's home.

Zhang Ning stared blankly at Su Xuan's receding back, her thoughts becoming a bit complex.

On Su Xuan's side,

When he returned home for dinner,

He mentioned Zhang Ning to Miss Xun Cai Cai, Zhen Jiang, and the others.

He briefly introduced Zhang Ning's situation to them.

Then, he said to Miss Xun Cai Cai and the others: "If you have time, you might as well invite Zhang Ning to go out for fun, or come to the mansion to chat and play games, all of which are fine!"

"To avoid her always staying at home alone and getting problems from staying at home."

He wouldn't admit that he had taken a fancy to Zhang Ning and wanted to pull her into his big family step by step, hehe!

"Fine! We will!"

Miss Xun Cai Cai rolled her eyes at Su Xuan and nodded in response.

It wasn't like she hadn't seen Zhang Ning before; how could she not know that the girl was a great beauty with an ethereal temperament?

Didn't she understand her husband's thoughts?

Obviously, he had taken a fancy to Zhang Ning but didn't want to force her.

He was prepared to take it step by step.

However, Miss Xun Cai Cai had no intention of stopping him.

With Su Xuan's ability and future achievements, this kind of thing was certainly inevitable.

Not to mention, Su Xuan was too strong, and the few of them couldn't handle it.

It would be better to have a few more sisters to share the burden.

"Hehe! Cai'er, you are so good!"

Su Xuan laughed.

2 days later, Su Xuan traveled light and set off north from Nanjun.

Along the way, he passed through Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Chen Liu, entered Henei Commandery, and then moved east into Wei Commandery, entering Jizhou.

Afterwards, he headed to Guang Sect City in Julu and found Tian Feng's home in a village on the eastern outskirts of Guang Sect City.

Then, he had Xu Chu step forward to knock on Tian Feng's door.

"Creak!"

Soon, the door was opened.

The one who opened the door was a somewhat slovenly young man, who was none other than Tian Feng.

"Who are you..."

Tian Feng first saw Xu Chu and was startled by the tall and fierce Xu Chu, but he quickly calmed down, then asked tentatively, and looked behind Xu Chu, seeing Su Xuan and the others.

His gaze instantly locked onto Su Xuan. Before they could speak, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a bow of surprise: "You must be the General who Guards the South, Su Xuan, right?"

"I didn't expect you to really come! This is truly a surprise to Tian!"

"This is not a place to talk, please come in first!"

As he spoke, Tian Feng opened the courtyard gate completely and made a gesture of invitation.

"Very well!"

Su Xuan smiled and nodded, bowed his hands and said: "Then I will disturb Mr. Yuanhao!"

As he spoke, Su Xuan took Xu Chu into the courtyard.

The captain of the personal guards greeted people to send in the gifts.

Tian Feng brought Su Xuan and Xu Chu into the living room to sit down.

He had his wife serve some ordinary snacks and tea.

He invited Su Xuan to enjoy them.

Only then did Tian Feng look at Su Xuan and say: "More than a month ago, someone claimed to be the General's subordinate, saying he was looking for me to recruit me for the General!"

"At that time, I thought it was fake!"

"But after some testing, I confirmed that the person was indeed the General's man!"

"So, I said that if the General wanted to recruit me, he should come and invite me in person;"

"It was originally a joke to decline. I expected that since I acted so arrogant, the General, being young and vigorous, would be very angry, have a very bad impression of me, and thus give up recruiting an arrogant person like me;"

"And since that day, the General's people indeed haven't come again;"

"I thought my goal had been achieved!"

"I didn't expect that today I would wait for the General himself to arrive. For a moment, I really don't know what to say!"

"I can only praise that the General is truly broad-minded, a person of bearing who can accomplish great things. I underestimated the General before!"

"Here, I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to the General, please!"

As he spoke, Tian Feng drank a cup of tea by himself.

"Haha! Please!"

Su Xuan laughed loudly, also drank a cup of tea, and then looked at Tian Feng and teased: "Mr. Yuanhao is also a straightforward person, just as I understood;"

"It is precisely because I know what kind of person you are, sir, that I will not be angry;"

"So, sir, you actually overestimated me!"

"I am actually very petty and impulsive!"

"After all, I am just a 17-year-old young man!"

"A young man like me, only 17, who has already achieved success and been appointed a general and enfeoffed as a marquis, is naturally very arrogant, isn't he?"

Tian Feng was slightly stunned when he heard Su Xuan's joke, then looked at Su Xuan in surprise, and couldn't help but smile knowingly: "The General is truly a wonderful person, far more interesting than I imagined."

"I didn't see any arrogance in the General; I only saw humility and courtesy;"

"You are indeed very different from what I expected."

Speaking of this, Tian Feng looked at Su Xuan seriously, deliberated for a moment, and suddenly made up his mind in his heart: "I know the General is here to recruit me;"

"The General is willing to travel thousands of miles to find me because of my arrogant words. I have already seen this kind of breadth of mind and sincerity!"

"I am not a vague person either. I agree to the General's recruitment."

"But I must say some things first, so as not to offend the General in the future and make the General regret it."

"Oh?"

Su Xuan heard this, raised his hand to signal: "Please speak, sir!"

Tian Feng saw this and immediately said bluntly: "I am a person who is relatively stubborn. I have always said what I have to say, will not worry about anything, and will not choose not to say it just because the words are unpleasant;"

"Therefore, it is easy to offend people!"

"This can be considered my old problem!"

"I can't change it, and I don't want to change it!"

"Because, if I change, I won't be Tian Yuanhao anymore!"

"If I really join the General's ranks in the future, it is inevitable that I will offend the General and even offend many colleagues because of this;"

"If the General still insists on recruiting me under these circumstances, then I have nothing more to say, and I am willing to serve the General."

For more than a month, he had also seriously learned about Su Xuan.

He even inquired about Su Xuan's actions in Nanjun over the past few months through friends.

He asked himself that he already had a relatively clear understanding of Su Xuan.

Therefore, he appreciated Su Xuan's character, ability, and confidence.

There was no resistance to his recruitment.

He also wanted to see if he could realize the ideals in his heart under Su Xuan's command.

"Then it's settled! Please assist me, sir!"

Su Xuan stood up immediately upon hearing this.

Tian Feng saw this, hurriedly stood up, and bowed to Su Xuan: "Tian Feng, courtesy name Yuanhao, from Jizhou, pays respects to the Lord!"

"Haha! Good!"

Su Xuan was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up to help Tian Feng up, and said: "To have the assistance of you, sir, is Su Xuan's great fortune."

It was finally done.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Although the process was a bit strange, it was unexpectedly smooth.

He had originally thought that Tian Feng would be more difficult to deal with!
