Chapter 3: War on the Mouth
Feng Luo learned the court etiquette for half a day, and he made it look good, but it was a little stiff.
When the old butler came to pick up Feng Luo, the ceremonial officer praised Feng Luo's realization, and he would mention it in front of the king.
The ceremonial officer rarely had a good face, and the old butler was very curious. Feng Luo told the old housekeeper about beating the two guards and asked him to refer to it.
"There is such a rule that shows respect for the strong. If your cultivation is manifested so early, I am afraid that you will become a thorn in the side of the clan. If you get some benefits, of course the difficulties will increase, and you can decide for yourself. The old butler roughly analyzed it.
Feng Luo's strong performance may win the king's appreciation. But most aristocratic families will be unhappy, because the rewards that belong to them will be divided into a part.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land!" Feng Luo said a phrase left over from ancient times, "as long as the king is willing to reward me, the nobles' deterrence will not help." ”
On the way, the old butler introduced the person he was going to meet next. Feng Luo tried his best to hurry, so as not to say the wrong thing.
"Marquis Bemeth, who had a good understanding of Little Parker back then, has secretly helped him all these years. He will be happy to help, and you should be as respectful as possible.
Feng Luo's mind has long surpassed his peers. I have done the beating of the guards once, and I will not do it again in the future.
The old butler chattered and introduced information about Bemeth's appearance, living habits, etc. Feng Luo wrote it all down, not forgetting any of it.
As an Assassin, Feng Luo was adept at seeing his target's movements. It may be a small habit that can make a big difference. Whatever the old butler said, it was very important.
"Talk less, be more respectful, and I'll answer important questions for you. The old butler admonished.
The Marquis of Bemez entertained guests at home, and some ordinary nobles were also invited. Who can sit in a high position is not an old fox who has insight into the world? For Feng Luo, who was born in a commoner, he was also invited.
Since many people had something to do in the afternoon, the banquet was very simple and casual.
Feng Luo's identity at this time is a baron who was enshrined from the border pass. The old butler put away his expression and followed Feng Luo respectfully, like a loyal old servant.
At the banquet, it was very formal at first. Everyone took knives and cut the flesh of the crystal beast in small pieces to eat. Under the chef's blend, the meat of the crystal beast can be called the best delicacy in the world. After eating, the warm current in the body surged, and the cultivation grew at an extremely slow rate.
A glass or two of fruit wine is down, and the topic of discussion is hidden. There are the king's recent decrees, and there are trivia that happen in the market. Of course, what they talked about the most was the invasion of the Haori army.
When it made Feng Luo feel strange, they had no scruples about talking about the topic. There are people who support the actions of the Haori army, believing that the fate of Davao is unpredictable.
As for how strong the Haori army is and how powerful the Davao defenders are, they are all speculations that everyone likes to see. Gradually, the quarrel became more and more intense, and it was almost like a fight.
As the host, Bemeth mediated: "Everyone give the old man a little face, don't quarrel." The people who have the most say on the front line are, of course, those from the front. ”
Bemez's words caught everyone's attention and stopped the noise.
"Today I am fortunate to invite a baron who has just returned from the front line - Feng Luo. Bemeth looked at Feng Luo kindly, "Lord Feng Luo, tell us about your indentation." ”
Feng Luo didn't know what the old housekeeper had given to others, and he could be praised vigorously.
"Qi Mingyuan is by no means a vain name, and the combat effectiveness of his troops is indeed amazing. Feng Luo thought back to what had happened before, "If you fight head-on, Davao has to rely on double the number of soldiers to win the battle. ”
"How many battles have you fought? Dare to boast like this, and destroy your prestige in vain. "As for those who insist that their army is stronger, they always think that their army is invincible.
Feng Luo doesn't argue with others, picks some typical battle examples, and explains them. Because it was a personal experience, the words he said were very real, concise, and attractive.
"It may still be difficult to fight head-on, but the regimental commanders are resourceful and pinching people's noses to fight, until there is no obvious defeat. Feng Luo changed his words and began to get to the point.
In Feng Luo's view, the strength of the combat effectiveness of the troops is not the only factor that determines it. The Haori army was able to successfully complete the encirclement, which was caused by the commanders and their respective families.
If everyone had scrambled to be the first to drive out the invaders, the Haori army would not have been as strong as it is now. And now, it's useless to talk too much, prepare for the next round of attacks, fight for the lost land.
"With the unity of all the commanders, Foote City was able to withstand the siege of Haori. But how long can it last, we need everyone's support!" Feng Luo said solemnly.
Feng Luo explained in detail the offensive and defensive situations that happened every day, attracting almost everyone's attention. He puts a large part of the credit on the people in front of him and says they are the key.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Foote City is the gateway to the west. Once it is broken by the enemy army, it will grow into a situation that drives straight in!" Feng Luo began to summarize, "With the help of everyone, Foote City will have no problem holding on for a year and a half, and then the team will win." ”
Everyone loved to hear the words of boasting about themselves, and they were in a good mood and expressed their support. But there are also people who are not satisfied, after all, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
"Our soldiers in Davao are not cowards, why don't they take the initiative to attack and drive the Haori army back?"
"The Haori army is in full swing, like a strong man running forward, and if you want to stop it at this time, the price you will pay will be very great. Feng Luo explained, "It's better to wait for the other party to get tired and suddenly counterattack, and you will definitely win easily." ”
"Wait, wait, when, won't our soldiers get tired?" the man continued to pester.
"Yes, our soldiers will get tired too. But after all, in your own homeland, you can get an effective rest. Of course, it is up to you to provide material support and keep the soldiers in good condition. Feng Luo said.
After talking to one person, another one popped up. Most of the explanations are very simple, similar to the common sense of daily life. But they don't understand, and they are self-righteous, almost arguing with red necks.
Feng Luo had an impulse to pull these people down to the front line, and in the face of the onslaught of the Haori soldiers, to see if they could still stand. There are too many people in the world who can only talk about it, but those who are really capable lack the opportunity to speak.
