After resting for a while, Liu Guanfeng turned over and got out of bed, calling Iron Bull and Dai to follow him to the Red Star Mercenary Group's base.
When Liu Guanfeng led Iron Bull and Dai to the entrance of the Red Star Mercenary Group, Bao Rui and Copper Bull had just returned from outside the alley with food.
Seeing that the two had come back, Liu Guanfeng gently knocked on the courtyard door, which opened quickly. It was Liu Hong who opened the door, and she had already removed all the bandages and changed into a red bodysuit.
Upon seeing Liu Hong's graceful figure, Liu Guanfeng immediately lowered his head, his face turning red all the way to his neck. "Liu Hong, are your injuries all healed?"
"Of course! It's because you left and used such good medicine for me that I have no scars left at all."
Liu Guanfeng sighed inwardly: Women always prioritize their appearance above all else. Not only did he praise the medicine, but it also made her feel lively again without leaving any scars.
"That's good, that's good. Liu Hong, what about Eastern Team Leader and Brother Song?"
"They're both fine too. Now tell me what kind of miraculous medicine you gave them!" After saying this, Liu Hong placed her hands on her hips and blocked the doorway.
Liu Guanfeng scratched his head. "I say, Liu Hong, I did save you all; you can't just block me at the door like this."
"You see, it's my fault as an older sister. Please come in," Liu Hong said as she stepped aside. She then called into the courtyard, "Master, Xiaofeng brother has arrived."
"Where is Xiaofeng brother?" The first to rush out was not Eastern Star but Song Qun, who had been poisoned. Song Qun hurriedly approached Liu Guanfeng and grabbed his shoulders. "I say, Liu Brother, your Elder Brother's life was saved by you; how should he thank you?"
"Elder Brother, there's no need for that. When my brother was assassinated back then, didn't you do everything you could to help? We don't need to be so polite with each other."
"Alright then, no more politeness. Come on in!" After saying this, Song Qun pulled Liu Guanfeng into Eastern Star's room, where Eastern Star was also standing at his door waiting for Liu Guanfeng.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng approaching, Eastern Star immediately bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you once again, Liu Brother, for saving my life."
Liu Guanfeng quickly took a few steps forward to help Eastern Star up. "Eastern Brother, what you say is unnecessary. If you continue to be so polite, I will just turn around and leave."
"Alright then, I won't be polite anymore. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know. I will not hesitate," Eastern Star said as he pulled Liu Guanfeng into his room.
Once inside the room and seated, Eastern Star spoke first. "Liu Brother, when did you return? Just two months ago in Starfall City, they were still hunting for you."
"To be honest, Eastern Brother, I came back this time to look for news about my parents and two brothers. Ever since my master rescued me, I haven't heard anything from them and don't know if they are alive or dead."
After pouring a cup of tea for Liu Guanfeng, Eastern Star returned to his seat. "Liu Brother, you can rest assured about this. Once we learned that your family was in trouble, we began searching for news about you. We heard that you were rescued by a powerful person, which eased our minds. At the same time, we also looked into the whereabouts of your parents and relatives. We found out that your parents and two brothers have been imprisoned in Heavenly Prison. There is also someone with the surname Bao who seems to be your family's steward."
Upon hearing Eastern Star's words, Bao Rui clenched his fists beside him. He knew that person was his father, and hearing that his father was alive relieved Bao Rui's heart.
Liu Guanfeng clasped his hands towards Eastern Star. "Thank you for the information, Eastern Brother."
"You are too kind; you've done so much for our Red Star Mercenary Group that this little bit of information is nothing," Eastern Star replied. "Do you want to rescue your parents from their cell? If it can be done with my help, just say the word, and we will go through fire and water for you."
Liu Guanfeng felt relieved to learn that his parents were not dead but shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Eastern Brother, but Xiaofeng cannot attempt a rescue at this time because my strength is still insufficient. If I go now without a solid plan, not only might I fail to save my parents but also put my companions in danger. As long as I am not captured, I believe my parents will remain safe. Once I am strong enough, I will definitely return to rescue them myself."
Eastern Star nodded in agreement; he did not expect this young boy to think so thoroughly.
"Liu Brother, if you have any other requests, just let me know. I will certainly help you."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Thank you for your goodwill, Eastern Brother. If something comes up, I will not hesitate to ask. By the way, Eastern Brother, when I arrived yesterday, I heard that your injuries were related to the Fu Brothers?"
Eastern Star nodded. "Yes, this matter is entirely my fault; if it weren't for me, Xie Zhuang would not have died. When I learned where the Fu Brothers were located, I immediately took those three with me to seek an explanation from them. Who would have thought we would fall into their trap?" Eastern Star shook his head with a sigh.
"Elder Brother, Younger Brother has something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
"Wise Brother, just speak your mind."
"Alright, Elder Brother. I think it won't be easy for you to stay here for long because the Fu Brothers know that you are the ones who want to assassinate them. They will definitely retaliate first."
Eastern Star thought for a moment and asked, "What should we do then?"
"It's simple. Starting today, you, Liu Hong, and Song Qun should fake your deaths and go into hiding. Then let Xiao Tao cancel the name of the Red Star Mercenary Group. You three should quietly gather your strength while acting separately. Each of you should recruit a few trustworthy brothers. When you hear that the Red Star Mercenary Group is reestablished, you can approach their leader. What do you think, Younger Brother? Do you think this plan is feasible, Elder Brother?"
"Brother, if you make us all go into hiding, who will be able to reestablish the Red Star Mercenary Group then?"
Standing beside them, Liu Hong playfully tapped Eastern Star on the head and said, "Sometimes you're as clever as a fire monkey, and other times you're as foolish as a lazy pig. Xiaofeng's words indicate that he wants to establish a mercenary group and still use the name Red Star."
Liu Guanfeng did not deny it; instead, he crossed his arms and looked at Eastern Star. Eastern Star glanced at Liu Hong and then turned back to Liu Guanfeng. "Liu Brother, is what you said true? Do you really want to establish the Red Star Mercenary Group?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Eastern Brother, this is an idea I have. If one day I really establish the Red Star Mercenary Group, I would still want you to be the leader. Because at that time, the mercenary group will definitely be made up of young people who will need someone like you to guide them."
"Good brother, if you truly trust me, then I'll be the vice leader and help train those young rascals under the leader," Eastern Star laughed heartily.
Although Liu Guanfeng took the name of Eastern Star's Red Star Mercenary Group, he still left a position for Eastern Star in this mercenary group. Eastern Star understood that this was all done by Liu Guanfeng for their safety concerns. Therefore, Eastern Star happily agreed.
"Liu Brother, when do you think you'll be able to establish this mercenary group?" Song Qun asked from the side.
"Brother Song, unless something unexpected happens, give me four years."
"Four years? That's such a long time!" Song Qun pouted.
"Brother Song, please listen to my analysis first. I am just an eleven-year-old child right now. Give me four years, and those attendants beside me will be able to stand on their own as Generals. Moreover, you are currently offending the Royal Guard Captain of Huaxing Kingdom. If I don't take this time to train some Mercenaries, by the time my Red Star Mercenary Group is reestablished, it will be when we are under attack. What will we have to resist then?"
Song Qun slapped his forehead. "That's true; you little brother thinks long-term."
"Please rest assured, Eastern Brother and Brother Song. When the Red Star Mercenary Group is reestablished, it will be your time to shine. We will not fear any threats."
Eastern Star nodded. "That's best. Then starting today, we will hide our identities and wait for Liu Brother to help me rebuild Red Star."
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly. "You can rest assured about this, Eastern Brother. I won't let you down."
Song Qun scratched his head. "I have a small request, Liu Brother. I wonder if you can agree."
"Elder Brother, just speak your mind."
"Liu Brother, you know that Xiao Tao is my son. His mother passed away six months ago, and he can only rely on me now. My abilities are limited, so I hope you can take him as your attendant and have him serve you. I wonder if Liu Brother can agree to this request from your elder brother."
"Elder Brother, how can that be?"
"What's wrong with that? Having Xiao Tao by your side reassures me, and I know you won't treat him poorly. Just look at the attendants around you; I can tell that. Although I am currently an Intermediate Knight, I believe I wouldn't win against your attendants if we faced off. So even though Xiao Tao will be your attendant, it actually benefits you, my brother."
Liu Guanfeng felt a bit embarrassed by Song Qun's words and scratched his head. "Since Elder Brother insists so much, then I will accept Xiao Tao."
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng's agreement, Song Qun laughed heartily. "Little brat, you've been eavesdropping outside for fun, haven't you? Get in here and greet your master."
Liu Guanfeng shook his head; he had already known that Xiao Tao was listening outside. When he heard his father asking Liu Guanfeng to take him as an attendant, Xiao Tao's heartbeat noticeably quickened, which did not escape Liu Guanfeng's perception. As soon as Song Qun finished speaking, Xiao Tao rushed in from outside and knelt down on the ground. "Thank you for taking me in, Master. I am Song Haitao, paying my respects to you."
Liu Guanfeng smiled and helped Xiao Tao up. "You don't need to call me master from now on; just call me Third Brother like them."
"Yes, Third Brother."
"Bao Rui, take Xiao Tao and the others out, and prepare dinner as well."
"Yes, Third Brother." Bao Rui pulled Xiao Tao along and left with Copper Bull and the other three.
At this moment, Liu Hong also stood up: "I estimate these little brats won't be able to cook well. I'll show you a thing or two today, just to welcome Liu Brother back."
"Thank you, Liu Hong." Liu Hong then walked out of the room.
"Liu Brother, do you have any plans for today?" Eastern Star casually asked Liu Guanfeng.
"Actually, not much. My main task today is to gather information about my family and take away the private soldiers my father trained. These private soldiers will become the backbone of the Red Star Mercenary Group in the future."
"Thank you for trusting us, brother." Eastern Star was taken aback by Liu Guanfeng's words; the matter of private soldiers was a significant secret. The fact that Liu Guanfeng could speak about it openly showed that he considered them as his own, which moved Eastern Star.
"Elder Brother, you're being too formal. What is there for us brothers to distrust?"
"You're right, Liu Brother. It's Eastern Boss who's being too formal."
