Looking at her leaving figure, Tang Yin took a while to regain his senses, and turned to look at the others. It was obvious that everyone had just realised that Ai Jia was a woman, and their eyes revealed their surprise and unknowingly strong interest.

Tang Yin tapped his forehead, then said: "Wait a moment."

Ai Jia stopped and half turned, asking: "Does General Tang still have anything else?"

You stay here for now." But let me get to the point, here, I won't take special care of anyone, male or female. " Tang Yin didn't think much of Ai Jia, but he suddenly remembered a saying, "A man and a woman should be compatible. If you leave Ai Jia as a vase, you should try it. After all, the Second Regiment has too many vacant posts now.

Ai Jia turned around and said sternly: "I do not need General Tang to take special care of me, I only hope that he will treat me equally."

"Very good." Tang Yin was very satisfied with Ai Jia's attitude, he nodded and waved: "Please come back and take a seat!"

When Ai Jia was seated, he said slowly, "All of you are people that I have carefully selected. I believe all of you know your positions in the future, I don't care about your background or your family background. While she was speaking, he looked at Ai Jia one more time, and said: "My principles are very simple. Now that the Second Regiment has been re-established, I hope all of you will work together to build up a strong army. Do not disappoint me, and even more so, do not let me think that my judgement of today is wrong! "

"Please rest assured General Tang, we will do our best!" Li Wei, Liu Zhong Sheng, Chen Fang, and Ai Jia all stood up and answered in unison.

Tang Yin chuckled as he looked around at the crowd. After pausing for a moment, he took a deep breath and said clearly, "Gu Yue, I appoint you as the first thousand man commander of the Second Regiment's first formation."

After he finished speaking, Gu Yue sat on the chair and did not react for a long time.

He knew that Tang Yin wanted him to work for him, but he never expected him to give him the position of a Captain.

Qiu Zhen, who was sitting beside him, cleared his throat and nudged him with his elbow.

Gu Yue regained his senses and stuttered: "Tang … General Tang... "

"What is it? You don't accept it? " Tang Yin looked at him, amused.

"No, no, no!" Gu Yue was only a captain in the past, but now he had become a Captain in one go. He shook his head and replied sternly: "Thank you General Tang, this subordinate will follow your orders!"

Le Tian," continued Tang Yin, "I appoint you to be the commander of the second regiment; Li Wei, I appoint you to be the commander of the third regiment; Liu Zhong, I appoint you to be the commander of the fourth regiment; Chen Fang, I appoint you to be the commander of the fifth regiment of the second regiment; Ai Jia, I appoint you to be the commander of the sixth regiment of the second regiment." Also, "he looked at Qiu Zhen and asked half-jokingly," Qiu Zhen, do you accept the position of vice regiment commander?

Although he had expected this to happen, Qiu Zhen's heart still warmed up and his body couldn't help but shiver slightly. He had joined the army precisely for this day, the day where he could soar into the heavens, and now, it proved even more that his decision to support Tang Yin back then was the most correct decision.

He sniffed and suppressed his excitement. He bowed and forced a smile onto his face, but his voice was still a little hoarse as he said, "Thank you, big brother Tang … General Tang! " He was well aware that in this kind of public place, it would not be appropriate for him to call Tang Yin Big Brother Tang.

"Actually, I should be thanking you!" Tang Yin said faintly.

The reason why he could remain in the army, was because Qiu Zhen had played a crucial role. If not for Qiu Zhen's persuasion, he would not even know where he would have run off to.

Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue, Le Tian, Li Wei, Liu Zhong Sheng, Chen Fang, Ai Jia were Tang Yin's first group of trusted aides. In the future, these people would become his most loyal followers, and would basically form the core of his power.

That evening, at Wu Mei's invitation, Tang Yin brought only Qiu Zhen to the Dancing Palace's banquet.

Although Wu Family was one of the main challengers, compared to Ziyang Family, she was much luckier, and did not receive too much punishment, so Feng King still had a lot of trust and importance in Wu Family.

Wu Family was one of the Four Major Clans of the Feng Country. They had many hanger-ons, huge powers, and when it came to hosting banquets, practically all of the famous families in the capital would send people to attend.

In front of the Dancing House, it was packed full of people.

When Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen arrived, many beautiful horse carriages lined the entire street. Very few people who came to attend the banquet rode in like the two.

He and Qiu Zhen looked at each other and smiled. They got off their horses and tied the reins to the horse stumps, then headed inside the house.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, before they could enter, the two of them were stopped by a guard at the gate.

The head guard sized them up a few times and coldly asked, "Do you two have invitations?"

Wu Mei only invited Tang Yin to attend the banquet, but he did not give him any invitation. He shook her head and said: "I did not invite him."

"Then I'm sorry, but I can't let you in."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to speak, Wu Mei walked out from behind the door quickly and said to the guard leader coldly: "The two of them are guests that I have invited, why are you stopping me?"

When the guard leader saw Wu Mei, his body trembled. He anxiously saluted and said, "So you are Big Miss's guest. This subordinate does not know, but please forgive me."

Wu Mei no longer bothered with him. She looked around at Tang Yin, smiled sweetly, and said gently: "Tang Yin, follow me in!"

"Thank you, big miss!" Tang Yin imitated the guard leader's tone and said.

"Screech!" You sound pretty sweet when you scream! " Wu Mei giggled.

As they chatted, the two of them had already entered the estate.

There were many people outside the manor, and there were even more people inside. There were too many officials and nobles, and countless servants were shuttling back and forth in the crowd. It was so lively that wine and food were served.

Wu Mei led Tang Yin and directly walked towards the inner area of the palace. Everywhere they passed, there would be people who would get up from time to time to greet Wu Mei.

It was only now that Tang Yin realized that Wu Mei's popularity was far beyond her imagination.

With Wu Mei's looks and her way of handling the situation, he felt that she wasn't suitable to serve in the army, and was more suited to be known as a courtesan. If he let her socialize with other men, perhaps there would be no one who wouldn't bow down to her charm.

The main hall of the dance hall.

A middle-aged man with a large build and a handsome appearance was surrounded by the crowd like a moon surrounded by stars. Wu Mei led Tang Yin through the crowd and walked up to the middle-aged man. In her voice, there was a rare expression of respect, but there was also a hint of coquettishness. She softly said, "Father, this is General Tang Yin!

"Oh?" The middle aged man turned and looked at Tang Yin with his sharp tiger eyes.

He was sizing up Tang Yin, and the latter was sizing him up as well.

So this was actually the person in charge of Wu Family, Wu Yu.

"Subordinate Tang Yin greets Prime Minister Wu." Wu Yu was the Right Prime Minister of Feng Country, and Prime Minister Wu was her honorific title.

"Hehe!" I have been famous for a long time in the General Tang, and I have seen it today. Just as Wu Mei had said, Wu Yu was a kind person without any airs, making people naturally feel close to him.

"Prime Minister Wu is too polite, I do not dare to accept." Tang Yin replied with polite words.

"Huh?" Wu Yu waved his hand, and laughed: "If not for General Tang, I am afraid my daughter would still be trapped in Hedong, and would not be able to escape!"

Tang Yin did not hold back, he looked at Wu Mei and said indifferently: "That is all because of General Wu's scheming and experience, with proper command, this subordinate will follow the orders given by the General Wu."

In the ears of the onlookers, he was praising Wu Mei, and only Wu Mei could hear the sarcasm in his words.

This narrow-minded Tang Yin still could not forget about this matter! Wu Mei secretly rolled her eyes at him. She also understood that the plan of letting Tang Yin be the bait was too despicable, but it was still a thing of the past after all. If it were now, she wouldn't let Tang Yin take such a risk no matter what.

Wu Yu, who was confused, obviously could not hear the hidden meaning in Tang Yin's words. He felt that although Tang Yin was young, he was not proud of his achievements and was very clear about what was going on, which was really rare.

Originally, he did not want Wu Mei and Tang Yin to be too close, but after seeing Tang Yin today, he had changed his opinion.

He laughed out loud, obviously being satisfied with Tang Yin, and said: "Here, no need to be courteous, if there's anything you need, just tell me."

"Yes, Prime Minister Wu!"

As there were too many guests here, Wu Yu was unable to converse with Tang Yin. After chatting for a while more, he went to entertain other guests.

Just as Wu Yu was about to leave, Wu Mei suddenly snorted at his side.

Tang Yin obviously knew what she was unhappy about and asked with a smile: "What? Toothache? "

Wu Mei was so angry that her teeth hurt. She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "What did you mean by that just now?"

Tang Yin laughed: "Of course I'm praising you. I'm letting you earn enough face in public!"

"Don't think I can't make out what you mean."

"What do I mean?"

"You're mocking me, mocking me …"

"You said that, not me."

"You … "Damn you!"

"Haha —" Tang Yin laughed loudly. When he was with Wu Mei, he would laugh more times than he had laughed in his entire life, and he had even learned how to bicker.

The banquet was not as boring as Tang Yin had imagined. Of course, accompanying him was an important factor.

The gazes of jealousy that flew over from every direction did not make Tang Yin feel uncomfortable. Instead, he enjoyed it.

His personality and way of thinking had always been different from ordinary people.

By the time the banquet ended, it was already three in the morning.

Wu Mei personally saw Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen off.

As she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and seriously said, "That's right, I've already found the candidates for the other four Captains. I'll bring them to your place tomorrow."

"Thank you very much." Tang Yin waved his hands in thanks, and after bidding farewell to Wu Mei, he and Qiu Zhen left together.
