Han Feng walked out of the turret gate and went all the way down to the city tower, and the city lord Qin Wu chased after him.
Seeing Han Feng's gloomy face, Qin Wu immediately spoke to comfort him.
"Han Feng, don't be so angry. Lord County Lieutenant is just following orders."
Hearing this, Han Feng shook his head.
"City Master Qin, of course I understand this truth, and I have no intention of blaming Commander Wu."
Hearing this, Qin Wu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But Han Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Of course what he said was not a lie. Han Feng didn't have any good impressions of the Lord Commander, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction either.
There was no other reason, because Han Feng knew very well why Bailong County chose to "defend the city" instead of "suppress the bandits."
Han Feng has already guessed the two fundamental reasons.
First, these rogue bandits were secretly caused by the Great Yan Empire. Compared with ordinary thieves and bandits, how could the other party have made such a big noise in Bailong County without preparation and backup.
These bandits who seem to be everywhere are actually organized and premeditated.
If there is a little carelessness, this commotion may cause huge turmoil, and may even lead to the fall of Bailong County.
Secondly, and most importantly, the Qianlan Empire is now at a sensitive time when the empire's general is resigning and the military power is being transferred.
It would definitely not be a good thing if there was a war with the Great Yan Empire at this time.
To sum up the above two reasons, the governor of Bailong County chose to send troops to garrison various cities in the county to stabilize the foundation of Bailong County. This was not only a fault, it could even be said to be a wise move.
Once the transfer of power in the military is stable and there is no need for the empire to send troops, these "rogue bandits" will probably go back on their own.
This is also the reason why Wu Junwei promised Han Feng that as long as he guarded the city gates, these bandits would naturally retreat in two months.
Even the city lord Qin Wu didn't know these reasons, but Han Feng knew them all.
The reason why he reacted so violently was not that he felt there was anything wrong with all the arrangements.
It's just that Han Feng cannot stand at the height of the empire and look at all this "calmly" and "coldly".
There is no other reason. Han Feng has been living in Bailong County since he came to this world, although there are still many places he has not been to.
But Han Feng never wanted his hometown to be trampled on by a group of imperial thieves so unscrupulously and slaughter the people here.
Han Feng had no right to accuse Bailong County Sheriff and Wu County Lieutenant, nor could he ask them to do something, but he knew that he had to do something!
Since the army cannot be used to suppress bandits, Han Feng can use his own methods to eliminate these bandits.
It is really difficult for him to destroy these mighty bandits running around with his own strength. Han Feng must gather his strength!
Fortunately, Han Feng already had some ideas in mind.
On the way back to the mansion, Han Feng invited City Lord Qin, who was traveling with him, to visit the Viscount Mansion.
The two returned to the Viscount Mansion together, and Han Feng sent someone to invite the head of the Wu family "Wu Xingba", the head of the Zhao family "Zhao Zhenxiong", and the leader of the Lieyan Gang "Xiao Mu".
Along with the Qin family, Zhou family, and Han family who had already gathered in the Viscount Mansion, the six most powerful family talkers in Bailong County gathered together.
Han Feng's purpose was nothing more than one, which was to discuss how to destroy the bandits outside Bailong County.
Now that Lieutenant Wu is stationed in the county with troops, there is no need to worry about city defense, and the six families can all have their hands free.
When Han Feng proposed to gather experts from six families to suppress the bandits together, the Zhou family and the Han family naturally did not need to say more, Han Feng's meaning could represent theirs.
Immediately, City Master Qin, Chief Zhao and Chief Xiao also expressed their agreement one after another.
They have been familiar with Han Feng for a long time, and they know Han Feng's character well. In addition, destroying the bandits is what they want in their hearts, so naturally they are very supportive.
Only Wu Xingba, the head of the Wu family, hesitated slightly, but seeing that the other five families agreed without hesitation, he finally chose to join.
Han Feng counted the list of masters from the six families on the spot and found that the strong men from the six families gathered together were indeed a considerable force, but it was still somewhat insufficient to destroy the bandits.
At this time, Han Feng thought of the other two forces.
One of them is the disciples of the three major academies in Bailong County. These people have extraordinary strength and have already received the task of suppressing bandits, so they naturally have to make use of them.
In addition, it seems that even the "special forces" in his secret base can be pulled out to practice.
The combination of these three forces cannot be underestimated.
But Han Feng immediately discovered another serious problem, that is, the "equipment" problem.
These bandits are a ragtag group in name, but in fact they have the support of the Great Yan Empire and are quite well-equipped.
Although the strength of these people gathered together is extraordinary, their equipment is uneven.
Especially the special forces led by Han Yi, they still use the "Fine Iron Repeating Crossbow" that he built for them back then. This kind of repeating crossbow has limited lethality against Chen-level spiritual warriors.
Without advanced and powerful equipment, people like myself would be able to eliminate some of the bandits.
But it won't be long before our own side will suffer a large number of casualties and eventually lose its ability to suppress the invaders.
Speaking of equipment, Han Feng couldn't help but think of the amazingly powerful "wind crossbow chariots" placed on the city tower when he was at Beiyang Pass.
According to Qianhu Jiang Biao, the Wind Crossbow Chariot is one of the new types of equipment developed by the Imperial Commercial Bank for the Qianlan Empire Military Department.
Han Feng had seen the power of the wind crossbow chariot. It was indeed extremely powerful. Even the powerful leather armor of Chen-level monsters could be penetrated, and its lethality was astonishing.
Moreover, the Imperial Commercial Bank must not only have developed this kind of weapon. If it can purchase a batch of advanced weapons and equipment and arm its own personnel, it will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Han Feng asked everyone to wait in the house. He directly drove the Ark and flew to the Imperial Trading Company in the city to inquire about the purchase of equipment.
Upon learning that the Lord Viscount had arrived, a slightly fat middle-aged man named Ding, now the branch manager of the Imperial Commercial Bank, received Han Feng and asked Master Du, who had once refined the Stormrage King Spear for Han Feng, to accompany him.
Shopkeeper Ding and Master Du's attitude towards Han Feng can be described as extremely enthusiastic, even a little humble.
There is no other reason. Today, Han Feng, as an imperial viscount, holds the rank of Qianhu, and is an intermediate disciple of Tiannan College.
In terms of status, Han Feng is already considered a very important person in Bailong County, even more important than the city lord Qin Wu. How can they dare to neglect him.
When Han Feng came to the Imperial Trading Company, he had no intention of showing off and directly asked the two of them if they could buy the most advanced military equipment.
Both of them were surprised when they heard that Han Feng wanted to buy military equipment.
You must know that although the Imperial Trading Company produces armaments, it will only sell them to the Empire's organized army, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to buy them.
However, when the two of them thought about Viscount Han Feng's identity and his own private army, they suddenly became aware of it.
Shopkeeper Ding smiled bitterly.
"The Viscount must be buying equipment for his private army, but Ding is helpless in this matter."
Han Feng was stunned when he heard this and listened to Master Du on the side.
"Sir Viscount, our Imperial Trading Company can indeed produce armaments, but branches in counties and cities like ours are not qualified to sell and produce them.
If adults want to buy equipment, they can only go to the four major associations in our bank, and the one closest to Bailong County is the Northwest Association.
Adults can go to the Northwest General Assembly and show their noble status to purchase the corresponding amount of armaments. "
"Northwest General Assembly."
When Han Feng heard this, he couldn't help but think.
He still remembered that after he drew the design of Zhuge Liannu and gave it to the former shopkeeper of the trading bank, "Shopkeeper Mei", the other party conveniently submitted the design to the Northwest General Association.
Later, he was recommended by the Northwest Association because of this, and Shopkeeper Mei was transferred to the Northwest Association.
Since he couldn't buy equipment here, Han Feng said no and really wanted to go to the Northwest General Assembly.
After asking for a map from Shopkeeper Ding, Han Feng observed it.
The Northwest General Conference is located in the northwest of the empire, at the junction of Xichuan Province and three other provinces, thousands of miles away from Bailong County.
With his current speed in controlling the Ark, it would take nearly three days to get there and back at the fastest.
After thinking for a moment, Han Feng thanked the two of them and drove the ark back to the Viscount Mansion.
At this moment, City Lord Qin and others were eagerly waiting for the good news from Han Feng.
Seeing Han Feng returning empty-handed, everyone was a little confused.
Finally, Han Feng informed everyone about his plan to go to the Northwest General Assembly to purchase armaments.
Everyone doesn't know whether Han Feng can bring back equipment from this trip, but this is the only way for now.
In the end, Han Feng made an agreement with everyone that the people from the six families who went to war would recuperate and adjust their condition in the past few days.
Wait until Han Feng returns to Bailong County in three days before making a decision.
After sending everyone out of the Viscount's Mansion, Han Feng hurriedly said goodbye to his family, and without any further delay, took advantage of the scorching sun at noon, directly drove the ark, and rushed towards the northwest...
