Chapter 6: The Hanging Guest Star, Wind Forest

On either side of him, there were four generals clad in armor, among whom three were the three great generals of the Marquis's residence: Zhao Qian, Feng Feiqing, and Di Ying

At this moment, the Zhang family approached with Feng Ling'er, also paying their respects to the Feng clan, welcoming the master of the Hou residence back home

In the midst of Feng Yuan's deep thoughts, everyone knelt and sat behind the wooden table in the hall, while the maidservants of the Hou residence entered in succession, presenting the cooked meat and wine.

The gaze of the Wind Sect leader swept over the two individuals, revealing a hint of a smile

After drinking several jars of wine with great enjoyment, Feng Lin suddenly thought of something. He took out a piece of white jade amulet from his sleeve, which faintly emitted a glow. The amulet was engraved with intricate divine patterns, appearing quite extraordinary.

Upon hearing the news of the Qingzhou army's mobilization to attack the Dongyi Heishan tribe, he quickly made a decision to seize this opportunity to demonstrate his strength before the Feng clan, using the Qingzhou Marquisate as a springboard to contribute to the great Shang Dynasty and achieve success.

This somewhat unattractive man is none other than Feng Yuan's cousin, Feng Lin, a descendant of the Feng family's collateral branch. Upon recognizing him, Feng Lin immediately burst into hearty laughter.

My lord

He is the lord Feng Zong who governs the important stronghold of Qingzhou.

This time, having successfully defeated the Black Mountain faction, he intends to hold a celebration for several of his generals.

During the meal, everyone continued to chat and laugh. They spoke of the events that occurred during the attack on the Black Mountain tribe

Furthermore, I am already aware of your diligent practice of martial arts at the residence these days. It seems you have come to understand the importance of your own strength, and it is not in vain that I traveled thousands of miles to defeat the Heishan tribe for your sake

"Dalang, you really don't stand on ceremony with your cousin. This amulet is a fine item! Take good care of it!" Feng Zong said with a laugh and a scolding tone upon seeing this.

Feng Lin is a descendant of the Feng family, but he hails from a collateral branch. Even though he possesses outstanding talent and has honed his body to an incredibly strong level at a young age, reaching the rank of a Great General in the Earth Realm, he finds it difficult to make a name for himself in the Da Shang Dynasty due to a lack of background and connections

Father! Feng Yuan, adhering to the customs of this world, performed a bow to the other party

cousin

Feng Zong chuckled, as the master of Qingzhou City, everything within the city, especially within the residence, was under his watchful eye. He was very pleased with the changes in Feng Yuan over the past few days

Upon seeing these individuals, Feng Yuan cast a glance and focused his attention on the last person. This individual had a somewhat unattractive appearance, yet exuded a formidable aura of aggression that was by no means inferior to that of the three great generals.

Feng Zong also brought some gifts for his daughter. After exchanging a few words with Wen Yan and Zhang, he instructed her to take the steward and servants from the residence to prepare for the banquet

Thank you, cousin

After finally waiting for the banquet to conclude, Feng Yuan immediately returned to his courtyard

Feng Zong casually lifted him up and said, "This time, defeating the Heishan tribe has indeed brought many benefits. I have selected some items, and I will send someone to deliver them to your courtyard shortly. Consider it a gift I bring to you upon my return"

The four great generals of the Hou residence, along with Feng Lin, are fierce warriors in the army, full of vigor and vitality. They put pieces of meat seasoned with spices into their mouths, chewing and swallowing them in just a few bites, consuming meat and drinking wine heartily

The Wind Sect led the guards and family retainers like a bolt of lightning, arriving at the gate of the marquis's residence in the blink of an eye. Upon reaching the entrance, his steed, the Azure Dragon Horse, suddenly came to a halt, and the other warhorses, displaying remarkable intelligence, stopped perfectly under the control of their respective riders

He laughed heartily and straightforwardly put away the amulet

Feng Yuan's heart stirred, and a series of images suddenly emerged in his mind. In the memories of his previous life, there indeed was a cousin from the Feng family's collateral branch who had come to the Hou residence and played with him for a period of time.

The man at the forefront wore exquisite armor, draped in a cloak, with the armor subtly shimmering with a peculiar spiritual light. An overwhelming aura of grandeur emanated from him, and his appearance bore some resemblance to Feng Yuan, though he exuded a more imposing presence, filled with the authority of a superior.

Hahaha, I knew my cousin would still remember me

"Cousin Fenglin?" He was shaken in his heart and couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with astonishment and doubt

The thoughts regarding Fenglin have long been understood by Fengzong. In consideration of their shared surname, the Feng family is prepared to lend a helping hand to the other party

In the hall of the Hou residence, Feng Zong pointed at the somewhat unattractive man and asked with a smile. The man, who was somewhat unattractive, was only slightly older than Feng Yuan.

Meanwhile, the name of this cousin also appeared in his consciousness

At this moment, neither the Wind Sect nor the Wind Forest noticed the shock in Feng Yuan's heart. Even if they had seen it, they would have thought he was simply overly excited at suddenly seeing his long-lost cousin.

The Wind Clan has always placed great importance on individuals with strength. At a young age, Feng Lin possesses abilities comparable to the four great generals of the Marquis's residence, and as a member of the Feng family, with proper cultivation, he is naturally destined to become a wing of the Qingzhou Marquis's residence

He truly did not expect that, having just arrived in this world for less than a month, the general who would one day be listed on the Divine Ranking would appear right before him. Moreover, he even had some connection to him

Seeing his son, who was standing at the door to greet him and was no longer in serious condition, Feng Zong's face immediately showed joy. He turned over and dismounted, striding towards Feng Yuan.

Da Lang, do you still remember the cousin you played with when you were young

Your health has improved, very good

He extended his right hand and pressed it briefly on Feng Yuan's shoulder, a wave of warm breath quickly spreading from his palm as he swiftly assessed Feng Yuan's current physical condition

Feng Zong did not have much affection for his concubine; it was merely because the marquisate needed a mistress. However, he did hold some regard for his biological daughter, Feng Ling'er.

Of course, there are not many profound feelings either

Feng Yuan initially intended to decline, but when the talisman fell into his embrace, the vast mirror deep within his heart suddenly trembled slightly, causing a change in his expression.

Based on the information known to Feng Yuan, the person before him, despite being young, possesses formidable strength, and should indeed be Feng Lin, the deputy general who accompanied General Zhang Guifang of Qinglong Pass in the campaign against the Western Qi during the Great Catastrophe of the Gods.

However, this level of importance ultimately cannot be compared to Feng Yuan, the legitimate son and future heir.

Cousin! This is a talisman I found on a shaman in the Black Mountain tribe. Wearing it can help ward off some underhanded schemes. Consider it a gift for our meeting!

If Fenglin can achieve great merit, the Qingzhou Marquisate will also benefit significantly

He straightened up and threw the talisman into the embrace of the wind.

Feng Yuan could sense the genuine concern embedded in the other person's words. Coupled with the memories of his previous self that had already merged, he had received everything from the other party. Therefore, he felt little resistance towards this adoptive father before him

Hmm?

Da Lang

You two brothers, having finally met after a long time, should take these few days to catch up! Fenglin, you should also stay in Qingzhou City for a while. Soon, His Majesty will dispatch the army to campaign against the Eastern Yi, and at that time, I will personally recommend you for a promising future

Soon, the sound of heavy hooves echoed outside, as a squad of elite armored cavalry swiftly approached the marquis's residence, surrounding several imposing men clad in armor.

Wind and Forest

Feng Yuan listened attentively and soon understood the reason for Feng Lin's appearance
