Chapter 55: A Thousand Shadows
Huang Yue's resolute face had a hint of gratitude, but he said, "Don't get in the way, the Venerable Lord works day and night, and needs to rest well." Subordinates can wait!"
Wu Feng shook his head, looking at the sweaty but standing straight man, for some reason, he felt a little emotional, he handed the tea to the man: "Drink it, I think you're thirsty too." β
Huang Yue didn't say more, he stood all afternoon, he was indeed hot and thirsty, he took the cup and drank it all, Wu Feng picked up the teapot and handed it to him directly, the man looked at Wu Feng and smiled, lifted the teapot, and drank it directly into the tea mouth.
After drinking the whole pot of tea, he exhaled, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and handed the teapot to Xia He, who was standing aside.
"Is it done?" Wu Feng cut to the chase.
Huang Yue nodded and said, "I greeted the Lord of the Luancheng Guild according to the instructions of the Venerable Lord before, and I will step up training over there." β
"Okay, what's going on over there with the sharks?" said Wu Feng.
"It's a bit difficult for the mermaids to deal with it, it's only been a few decades since the last 'Pingjiao Rebellion', and now their entire race is submissive, even if it's the rebels, it seems that they are scared!"
Wu Feng sighed and said, "It's also the class that has experienced the 'Peaceful Rebellion', but it's much better than them!"
Huang Yue said: "Indeed, but the merman clan is naturally weak and enjoyable, not forced to a corner, they would rather be reluctant." β
Wu Feng frowned and said, "What are the concerns of the righteous army? We have promised them to get the 'Xiaozhu' in their hands, what are they still hesitating about?"
Huang Yue thought for a while, but still shook his head: "The subordinates are also puzzled. What are the concerns about getting the source of power? β
Wu Feng sneered and said, "It seems that I have been a beast for thousands of years, and I am used to it. β
"That'...... What should we do? If they don't cooperate, things like this side ......," Huang Yue asked for advice.
Wu Feng pinched his eyebrows, and seemed to have a headache: "One or two are not worry-free!" and then didn't think about it, and said lightly: "The plan remains the same, it's just a matter of adding fire." β
Huang Yue took the order: "So, Xiaozhu's matter, did you let Qianying come forward?"
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "I heard that this year is the seventieth birthday of that Ha Mo Yan. There are many people who celebrate their birthdays, and they also receive many things. We don't stand out, and it's impossible to pry his mouth open and ask about Shinozhu's whereabouts. A Thousand Shadows is a class of people with outstanding colors, but it is still insufficient. He is male and female, and he is not perfect for people who have a fetish of **. You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange it. β
Huang Yue seemed to have guessed something, glanced at Wu Feng with a somewhat complicated expression, and before Wu Feng could even notice it, he recovered and took his life.
"On the merman's side, let the jade go. Wu Feng spoke slowly.
Huang Yue was puzzled: "It's just poisoning, why bother the left protector?"
Wu Feng smiled at him: "I just want him to go, try him." β
Huang Yue said worriedly: "You can leave the character of the Dharma protector...... To do this kind of thing...... I'm afraid he won't agree. β
Wu Feng chuckled: "What you said is true, but don't forget, he is the Left Protector, even if he doesn't have this title now, he will still have priorities to consider." He was good, but he also understood the need for sacrifice. β
Huang Yue nodded: "With the words of the Lord, I am also relieved." β
"Go ahead, by the way, secretly send a few people to watch, be careful, don't be discovered by him. Wu Feng said and walked towards the house.
After the man walked a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "There is something that my subordinates almost forgot." Lord, recently, a spy reported that Huo Quanlian sent people to search for you in various places. β
"Yes, you can do this kind of thing according to the rules, and you don't have to report it to me. Wu Feng said lightly.
Huang Yue pursed his lips: "This time it's the little palace master......
Wu Feng's body shook, and after a while, he said, "Got it." Then he went back to his room.
In the room, a tall and capable woman stood, and when she saw Wu Feng coming in, she arched her body and saluted Wu Feng, with a clean and clear voice, without the slightest emotion: "Lord, our side plans to clear the chaos at the beginning of the next year...... I need to prepare something, I'm afraid I'll have to leave after a while. Do you have any other orders on your side? I've heard that you're planning to meddle in the affairs of 'Xiaozhu', if you need me...... β
Wu Feng raised his eyes slightly and looked at the tall woman who came over: "Xiaozhu's matter?"
Qianying nodded: "Lin Chen told me, saying that you might want to send someone over to your liking." β
Wu Feng walked slowly and muttered: "The person who stepped into the loess with one foot, did you send you over, are you willing?"
Qianying didn't think about it, and replied very firmly: "If it is necessary, don't say that it is to accompany a person who has stepped into the loess, even if it is a thousand cuts, I am also willing!"
Wu Feng smiled: "Speaking of this matter, in fact, the biggest beneficiary is the group of mermen. I didn't expect that the high-ranking people of your clan would sacrifice their lives for them, but the group of sharks were afraid of each other. β
"You're laughing, if the sharks are willing to join forces with us, it will also be a big help. We are not good at water. The source of the merman's power, Xiaozhu, was lost, and the patron saint of our clan was sealed at the bottom of the sea in Yibo, causing our two clans to fall and be slaughtered. If we can help them get the beads, then we will at least have a chance to negotiate and ask them to help us break the seal on the bottom of the sea. β
The pale moon-blue skin, pale in the setting sun, has a little natural sickness, but the blue eyes have a resolute determination.
Wu Feng looked at the tall and beautiful interracial woman, with some emotion in his eyes: "Qianying, I don't understand. β
"Lord, please speak. β
"Why do people who are burdened with the same pain choose two diametrically opposed attitudes towards things? Whether it is the merman, or him, or ...... They are always thinking of retreating again and again. β
Wu Feng's question made the beautiful and cold woman not know how to answer.
After a long time, I only heard the woman whisper back, "Maybe it's ...... We can't go back. β
Wu Feng sighed, indeed, compared to the merman, the situation of the class is too bad. The mermaids play with pets, but they are only used for singing, dancing mostly, and the inferior sharks will be tortured to get pearls; and the class, more with insulting play, the poor posture, is the object of live carving and extraction of bone spurs; even their living gall, there is also excellent medicinal value.
In this world, they seem to completely reflect what is called market trading under the demand for interests.
"Actually, there is one thing I have always been puzzled about. The tall and capable woman said: "It's just that it's an internal matter of the demon clan, and it's not easy to ask before." Now that the Venerable Lord has mentioned the matter of advance and retreat, then I would like to ask, how could such a powerful demon race secretly ally ally with our lowly little race?
Wu Feng's cold eyes were a little dim: "Powerful?"
"The demon race, the netherworld, and the human race have all been the hegemons of this continent and sea for thousands of years, and the demon race is the best among them. Even in the battle of demons 10,000 years ago, in the situation of ten dead and nine wounded, the Netherworld had the advantage, but the demon clan later recovered, and regained its status at a speed that everyone was surprised by. Hundreds of years ago, the demon clan defeated the Netherworld and sealed it. The more Thousand Shadows spoke, the more puzzled they became: "If it's the Terrans who are united with us, we might be able to figure it out." But why is it a demon clan?"
Wu Feng smiled bitterly: "Since you don't know my purpose and depth, why did you agree so happily in the first place?"
Chikage smiled, "We have nothing, what else is there to be afraid of." The worst outcome is complete extinction, which is still a good thing. β
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "I can't elaborate on what you asked." However, if I tell you, today's demon clan is not as good as before. Will you regret it?"
"You mean ......" Chikage was stunned.
"Since it's going to be shown to people outside, it's natural to make it look better. β
Wu Feng didn't say it explicitly, but the words given to Qianying were clear enough - the demon clan had declined. However, to what extent will it be to decline to allow a high-ranking race to be reduced to cooperating with the lowly and unhuman rights of the South and the North.
Looking at Qianying's deep groan, Wu Feng just smiled indifferently: "What's the matter, do you regret it?"
Qianying's blue eyes looked at the bladeless pale golden eyes, and in those cold and fearless eyes, with calm and a hint of depression, for a long time, the tall and beautiful woman laughed.
Thousands of years of slavery have made every tribe live in darkness, and in dark fearβtheir fur has been made into expensive blankets, their bile has been used as cherished medicine, their backbones have been drawn out as weapons and refining materials, and even the eyeballs can be passed off as shark beads by the group, and all of them, what they fear most are those sky-high living eagles.
He remembered that on that day, when their rebel army was in a difficult situation and almost completely annihilated, it was the man in front of him who helped them and made them through the most difficult days.
The ruins of dust and smoke everywhere exuded the smell of burning, and the white body was dazzling and arrogant, and the large number of people and horses that followed him, all dressed in black clothes and black trousers, and masked, looked capable and steady.
He still remembered that when Wu Feng pulled him up lying on the ground, his pale golden eyes gave people a feeling of great reassurance, as if there was an invisible power, soothing him who had just joined the rebel army, and soothing his fear and retreat that he had not been able to calm down for a long time when he went to the battlefield for the first time.
It doesn't matter what kind of person he is or what purpose he wants to save them. The important thing is that he turned the tide and pulled the almost annihilated rebel army back from the line of life and death.
After that rescue, he funded to help the rebels reorganize, re-teach the rebels how to fight, how to attack the heart, and even teach them the kind of "sacrifice" by any means.
And he, too, slowly climbed from a timid soldier to the position of a general.
In the rebel army, blood is an empty thing, and others will not take care of him because of his bloodline, still less will he be sent because of his bloodline; on the contrary, only more severe training and teaching can wash away the so-called noble blood.
Chikage looked at the man in front of him and shook his head with a smile. Everything is in it, and there is no need to clarify it in any words.
"Back then, when they were about to send someone to your side to make it easier to get in touch, I offered to come over as your acolyte. β
The moonlight gradually intensified, and the moon-white skin looked even paler, faintly sickly, and the blue eyes smiled: "I was very happy to finally see you again." β
Wu Feng leaned back on the bed and said a little lazily: "This is not a good choice." A pet is just a lower thing than a pet, why should you be so happy. Don't you feel angry at all at all at what you've done?"
"I know that those are just for others to see, whether it is beating or scolding or even insulting me in front of others. The more lowly and natural it is, the less others will notice that something is wrong, right?" Qianying said: "What's more, no matter how unbearable the beating is, no matter how unbearable the humiliation is, there is also the best medicine ...... the queen."
"You should go back to the rebels to plan or charge, and you shouldn't bury yourself here. Wu Feng frowned.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think you know that the inner courtyard of this mansion is protected by your secret guards like an iron plate, but out of this inner courtyard, you are afraid that there will be eyeliner everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be in danger. Therefore, such a liaison is best done by a willing person...... Also, recently, in order to make others unhappy, you will occasionally put in a few people who inquire about the news. Even if you will know in advance that you are prepared, you are afraid that there will be fish that will slip through the net. I...... It's not that I doubt the ability of your secret guard, I'm just worried about ......" Chikage hesitated with his words.
"Okay, I understand. Wu Feng sighed.
"I ...... I just want to say that no matter what the lord asks his subordinates to do, the subordinates are willing!" Chikage didn't stop, and simply expressed his emotions.
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "It was just an accident that I saved you and instructed you. You don't have to take it too seriously. I am not your lord, you are not my subordinate, you are the general of the righteous army. It's not appropriate to call me that. β
Chikage pursed her lips, her bright eyes looking at the person on the bed like that.
Wu Feng glanced at him and was a little funny: "What kind of expression do you have, it's just that, you can call it whatever you want." Come on. β
Wu Feng patted the empty bed: "It's hard for you to act with me everywhere these days." When you are free, you will not have to force yourself. β
Chikage untied his bladeless coat and placed it on a hanger, and after taking off his clothes, he also ran into the bed, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
A "meow" breaks the silence.
After a long conversation, he almost forgot the fat cat that had been squatting quietly in the corner.
"Come here, too!" Wu Feng said to the cat.
The fat cat, which was a few sizes older than ordinary cats, pounced on the couch and lay between the two, squeezing the thousand shadows on the side out according to their previous behavior.
"Alright, don't be naughty. With such a big bed, where are you going to squeeze people?" Wu Feng slapped the cat's head lightly, hugged the fat cat and closed his eyes to sleep.
Thousand Shadows waved off the lights, and her eyes stared at the top of the bed, sleepless for a long time.
