Chapter 49: Bargaining
Feng Luo told the villagers to go to the nearest wood, but he himself rushed in the opposite direction.
By the time all the villagers had entered the woods, Feng Luo had a few more scars on his body, but he killed two more people. With his current situation, he is very unsuitable for battlefield fighting, and the person with the fifth layer of pulse is injured in the hands of the person who cultivates the pulse.
There was no one else on the battlefield, only Feng Luo was left to fight alone. At this time, he did not hesitate, and tried to attack the place where there were few people, and took the opportunity to get close to the place where the villagers were hiding.
These armies are ambushed here with other plans, and as long as they hold on until their true goal arrives, they will have a chance to get out. They were dressed in the uniforms of the Haori Dynasty army, and their targets were most likely the people of Davao.
Feng Luo was no longer in a hurry to get out, and rushed towards the woods where the villagers were hiding, and the resistance was much less. The soldiers fought beside them, and they didn't give Feng Luo a chance to kill.
The soldiers' intentions were obvious, to trap Fengluo and slowly consume it. In the face of masters, there is no problem with such a strategy. Therefore, on the possible escape routes, there are corresponding squads to intercept.
Feng Luo snatched a spear and swept it hard, and the spear broke in response. Three spears on the opposite side were broken, and three soldiers spurted blood and flew upside down.
The people behind wanted to chase in, Feng Luo took out the scroll with both hands and hit it twice in succession. Fire and ice strike at the same time, knocking the pursuers back.
Feng Luo finally had a chance to breathe and told the villagers to hide. Chop off some branches, sharpen them, and let everyone take one for self-defense.
"Hide behind a tree, if someone comes in, they will stab!" Feng Luo arranged the positions of more than twenty people, five or six feet away from each other, watching and helping each other. If you change to a well-trained soldier in the prime of life, you can defend against enemy attacks several times over.
The villagers were unarmed and had never killed anyone, so it was better than nothing. It can also make the attacking side worry about it and delay a little time.
"Do you think you'll be fine if you hide, or I'll set fire to the woods and see what you do!" the squad leader outside threatened.
Feng Luo poked his head outside and said, "I took something important, if I die, there will be a secret to be revealed, about the general!"
The heart of the general of Zhenguo, many people in the Haori Dynasty have long known. But he was clever in his means, seizing the power of the dynasty step by step, but he rarely left a handle. And those who supported the orthodoxy of the dynasty were deliberately looking for relevant evidence, trying to bring down the general of Zhenguo.
Now if you want to overthrow the general of Zhenguo, it is completely impossible to rely on the people of Haori Kingdom. Only with the help of the power of the Tianyan Empire can Qi Mingyuan be suppressed. The orthodox faction needs to find evidence that Qi Mingyuan is ambitious and vainly trying to rule the whole continent.
Unfortunately, strong evidence is hard to find. Qi Mingyuan has always been a modest image in the government and the opposition. He has reached the peak of his current power entirely by relying on the trust of King Haori, the support of his subjects, and part of his luck.
"Luck" includes the sudden and violent death of a minister who opposed him, or a slip while walking and falling into a river. Similar things happen from time to time, but no one has found evidence to prove that it is related to General Zhenguo.
Of course, Mu Wenqing will not follow Feng Luo to talk about these things. But Feng Luo is not the stupid boy he used to be, and when he reads a lot of books, he also understands the major events of the kingdom. History and current events are cross-referenced, and it is possible to understand not only the stories behind historical events, but also the movements of dynasties.
Ordinary ministers can see the facts clearly, and Feng Luo quickly came to a conclusion: General Zhenguo has a bad plot and has been doing it for a long time. As for the general's vain attempt to rule the whole continent, it is a malicious speculation of opponents.
General Zhenguo is currently strong, but his scope is limited to the court. The people's support for him must have a premise: he is the general of the Zhenguo of the Haori Dynasty. Once you change your identity and become a usurper of power, I am afraid that you will be spurned by the whole country.
If he really succeeds in ascending to the throne and ousting King Haori from power, the army across the country will also be a big problem. Qi Mingyuan's army accounted for one-third of the country, and the other two-thirds were not under his control.
Out of loyalty to orthodoxy, most of the generals were loyal. If orthodoxy is overthrown, will they be loyal? The greatest possibility is that they will rise up one by one, divide their territory, and establish themselves as kings.
Will General Zhenguo have the ability to extinguish the opposition forces in various places at that time? Feng Luo once demonstrated with sand and stones, and found that the greatest possibility of the Haori Kingdom was to split into many countries and fight endlessly. And the surrounding countries took the opportunity to invade and take away part of the country.
Of course, it's not time for all of this to happen. General Zhenguo is now launched, and the success rate of seizing the power of the government is less than 50%, not to mention the opposition from all over the country in the future.
The threat from Davao is a big problem for General Zhenguo!
King Haori is alive, and the king of Davao will help his old friend, and disgust Qi Mingyuan from time to time. King Haori died, and the original feelings were put aside, and he didn't mind sending troops to occupy a piece of land and remember his old friends.
There are other countries around, under the guise of the same attention. Even His Majesty the Emperor of the Tianyan Empire had some scruples about the Haori Kingdom in his heart. But for some reason, the kingdom of Haori had to be allowed to exist.
Once King Haori is out of power, even if there is only evidence that General Zhenguo is going to rebel, the empire will not stand idly by. Moreover, the rebellion of a general shows that he is ambitious. I can't keep the idea of fighting the empire in the future.
Therefore, as soon as Feng Luo's words came out, the team leader outside stopped his subordinates from activating the scroll. As a loyal follower of General Zhenguo, he very earnestly hopes that the general will ascend to the throne. Threats that may exist will be actively eliminated.
"You're not a spy in Davao!" the team leader judged. Because the secret agent of Davao fell into the hands of General Zhenguo, and it was a dead end. Anyone who can become a spy has a brain and sees the reason clearly, so he will not beg for mercy.
"When did I say I was a secret agent? I was just passing by, and I have nothing to do with Davao!" Feng Luo laughed.
"Say, what conditions do you have? Don't go too far, even if you have so-called evidence, you can't threaten the general!" The team leader was very calm and talked to Feng Luo about the conditions.
Feng Luo didn't think so, if he really didn't care, he wouldn't stop talking.
"Let these villagers go, they are innocent. I'm sure you can see that these people haven't even experienced basic cultivation, so it's impossible to be a threat. Feng Luo said his conditions.
"Where are they from, and where are they going?" asked the team leader, uneasy.
"These villagers used to live in Dayin Mountain. But the bandits in Dayin Mountain were suppressed, their homes were burned, and now they have fled elsewhere. Feng Luo's words were unknown, but the content was basically not lying.
