Chapter 1337 Chapter 1337: Wrath of Thunder (Part 2) [Please vote for me]
Gong Xiqiu didn't quite understand Lin Feng's choice.
In his opinion, it was best to leave quietly this time. If not, try not to completely anger Zhai Le. He is not afraid of war, but once he does, he cannot take care of everyone. Gong Xiqiu's confusion almost made Lin Fengqi laugh, and she asked: "Since the general has such concerns, why did he directly provoke Zhai Xiaofang just now?"
It is not easy to cultivate peasant talents who can speak spiritually and transform things.
There are not only gender restrictions, but also employment direction restrictions.
In the mainstream circles, those who have talent in cultivation are given priority to study in literature and martial arts. Those trained by the government are all direct descendants raised in their own academies, and none of them are caught in the wild. This mission brought more than half of them, and it was impossible for Lin Feng to sacrifice them.
To put it bluntly, except for Gong Xiqiu and Luo Sha, the sacrifice level of everyone else was ahead of them. What Gong Xiqiu said just now was really risky, and he didn't talk to her beforehand. It was clear that he was the most adventurous person, and afterwards he thought she was reckless.
Gong Xiqiu Xinxu looked away, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he turned his attention to the corner of his eyes: "I can't help it."
He will give displeasure to anyone who gives him displeasure.
Others?
Discuss later.
Gong Xiqiu made amends in a low voice: "Zhai Xiaofang doesn't dare to lift the table at this time anyway, so I can get some interest by choking him."
Lin Feng: "..."
"But I really don't recommend taking action regarding his daughter." A hint of gloating appeared on Gong Xiqiu's face, "Young people are the easiest to change their minds. When Zhai Xiaofang finds out that his precious baby has been abducted and crippled, he will be so angry that he kills his ancestors. All dug up.”
It's a pity that I can't see that scene.
Gong Xiqiu has a strong desire for revenge, and his idea is very beautiful. However, the person in charge is Lin Feng: "I know what the general is worried about. Are you worried that I will feel pity for the young people?"
What gave Gong Xiqiu such an illusion?
Lin Feng said: "Of course I have pity not because of Zhai Xiaofang's daughter, but because I look after others and think of my future Highness. As a prince, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, and no one can be completely trusted among thousands of people. Zhai Xiaofang doesn't care enough about her Is someone still taking advantage of her? Who can guarantee that something similar will not happen to His Highness in the future? As long as people are selfish, they can always get the benefits they want from her... It's really surprising. I’m afraid…”
The young prince is surrounded by wolves and tigers, how can he not worry?
The despicable person who uses such means to destroy the prince must be punished.
Lin Feng's first reaction when he heard about this from Gong Xiqiu was worry, and his second reaction was the intention to kill. This emotion even spread to the female officer. Zhai Le's daughter has nothing to do with the future unification of Kang State, but this case is still useful for reference.
"The future prince...you don't have to worry so much."
Gong Xiqiu couldn't help but think of that cunning and cunning little red flower.
Who can make Him suffer?
Instead of worrying that he will be seduced by the people around him and indulge in male and female sex, it is better to worry that he will not be able to suppress his murderous nature.
These contents cannot be disclosed to Lin Feng. After all, even Mama herself does not know that she has a "relic in the ocean".
"...I originally wanted to induce the poison in her body as a bargaining chip with Zhai Xiaofang. As a last resort... let's see if he chooses this daughter or insists on keeping me and waiting..." Lin Feng has many and complicated tasks on this trip, among which the most important The only thing he wanted was to return safely. Shen Tang acquiesced to a certain amount of sacrifice, but Lin Feng's idea was to return as many people as he wanted on the mission.
She said calmly: "But now that a clue has been brought to the door..."
Then naturally choose a safer plan.
It is a bad idea to threaten Zhai Le with the crown prince as a bargaining chip. If Zhai Le refuses to let go and goes back on her word, then she can strike later and the two sides will be even. Exposing the hidden dangers around the Queen Dowager caused a shock in Quwang's court, and Lin Feng and his party were able to hide behind it.
Seeing that Lin Feng had an idea, Gong Xiqiu stopped giving random orders.
He was curious about something else: "Gu? When was it cast?"
"Yesterday, it was with that female gentleman."
"Won't she find out?"
"Didn't she personally admit that she was born with a disability?" The existence of a disability in Dan Mansion means that it cannot be completely monitored, and it is possible for someone to take advantage of it. Lin Feng said, "I have seen this kind of disability in another person. But it’s not natural.”
The "other person" in her mouth was Gu Chi.
Gu Chi paid a price in order to erase the traces on the Wenxin monogram. As a result, he is still unable to complete the ritual of the scribe, and his body has been dragged down into a medicine jar. Doctors Xinglin continued to consult frequently but could not completely cure the disease.
What is less known is that Gu Chi is not missing many parts.
At least not so much that all the lettering and monograms are affected.
The more defects, the greater the price, and the greater the cost, the heavier the "purpose". There may be a deeper secret about that female officer, and what the female officer wants is not just simple benefits. In the territory of Qu State, Lin Feng could not send people to conduct an in-depth investigation, so he could only take a gamble. Bet that there is a big fish behind the female official, bet that this fuse will detonate the upper echelons of Qu State...
Lin Feng sighed: "I don't want to take action against the child."
She considers herself to be of the same generation as Zhai Le, and the Queen Mother is her junior, and plotting against her junior makes Lin Feng, who has a higher moral standard, a little embarrassed.
"Lin Xiaomama still needs to learn more from Gongyang Yongye... These old people have never been soft on their children, let alone their children..." Gong Xiqiu observed three seconds of silence for his moral bottom line. , "No shame."
Lin Feng's smile was slightly forced: "Yeah."
Gong Xiqiu finally took up his post, and Luo Sha could take a break and take a turn.
The two agreed that one person would be on duty for six hours. When Luo Sha came to change his shift, he found him transformed into a big snake coiled on a pine tree halfway up the mountain. This position was high enough and remote enough to have a broad field of vision. The boa constrictor was wrapped around a branch, its tail lifted from time to time and swaying from side to side.
A pair of snake eyes often stare at the figures below.
Not looking at anyone alone, but looking at all the girls.
Luo Sha: "...Did I catch you?"
He wants to accuse Gong Xiqiu of using public affairs for personal gain and spying on young girls in their prime all day long! Even Luo Sha didn't know how this snake could practice boy skills to reach this age! Gong Xiqiu didn't even bother to look over, and said lazily: "What do you know? The most beautiful thing in life is peace in the world, and all good things are filled with enthusiasm... As expected of Mama, they are all good people..."
Luo Sha was silent for a few breaths.
"When you say good people, do you mean those who do tricks in the fields?"
The wagging tail stopped: "Huh?"
Luo Sha chose to remain silent.
Gong Xiqiu probably didn't know yet that Lin Feng's initial plan was not to poison the Queen's wife - Zhai Le's decision to send his daughter here was temporary and was an uncontrollable variable - nor was it to detonate the big thing around the Queen's wife. ! The Gu worms were buried in Ji Tian. This place was a safe area where she could move freely and Zhai Xiaofang would not dig three feet into the ground. It was suitable for hands-on work.
Luo Sha watched her do it with his own eyes.
Not only are there under the fields, but a share of the harvested rice is also buried. Luo Sha didn't know the specific purpose of that thing, but he could tell from Lin Feng's shadowed eyebrows from time to time -
Not a good thing.
It is likely to affect a wide range and implicate innocent people.
The snake tail that had been suspended in Gong Xiqiu became active again, apparently discovering something under Luo Sha's hint. His voice remained cheerful: "Although you have done something, you still feel guilty. You are a good person. Reflect on yourself. Do you feel guilty after killing someone?"
Luo Sha: "...No."
"So, what a group of kind-hearted little Mamas."
Luo Sha: "..."
He despaired of the minds of the creatures on the shore.
The busy days go by so fast, and more than a month passes in the blink of an eye. With Zhai Le's unremitting cooperation, Lin Feng was even able to deliver the goods ahead of schedule and still make a profit. The supply of food and grass on the front line of Qu State was completely relieved, and all the ministers of Qu State who had previously opposed it also fell silent.
There is a terrifying undercurrent brewing under the seemingly calm water.
With the mission completed, resignation will also be put on the agenda. Lin Feng found that the peeping eyes on her became clearer and more intense, as if she was going to be skinned and torn apart. On the contrary, when the Queen Mother left the royal court, her whole body relaxed visibly.
He occasionally joked with the female officer and did not deliberately avoid outsiders.
Even if you have doubts, you can still deduce that it is a sisterly relationship.
The Queen Mother has an elder sister. It's just that this sister, who is one year older than her, is an ordinary person. The two sisters have completely different personalities and can't talk to each other. The elder Zhai Le has a gentle and dull temperament. Her favorite hobby is female red poetry and calligraphy, but she refuses to learn martial arts to strengthen herself. The queen likes to dance with swords and sticks. The most talked about every day is the affairs of the queen's palace and trivial matters in the court. The two sisters are at odds.
Lin Feng saw all this in his eyes.
She discovered that the affair between the princess and the female official was not a secret.
Some of the other female officials also noticed clues, but this matter never reached Zhai Le's ears. This is interesting, because it means that the families behind these female officials also have their own positions. For various reasons, they choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and secretly cover up.
Zhai Le will be plotted against, and so will his descendants.
The source of everything is just the word "profit".
Lin Feng gained a lot of experience in the political ecology that was different from that of Kang State.
On the third day of the business trip, Lin Feng had packed up and was ready to say goodbye and return home. Zhai Le was pleasantly surprised. He replied on the same day that he would hold a farewell banquet, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Qu State would accompany him at the banquet.
His posture was calm and there was no intention of obstructing him.
As happy as Zhai Le looked, the faces of the ministers looked bad. Naturally, they refused to let go of Lin Feng and his party. These people were the granaries of abnormal movements, and they also solved their doubts for many years - why Kang Guo did not consider the supply of food lines at all during the war, nor did he worry about the loss of food transportation. Co-authored by others It’s made from local materials!
Whether you make excuses to delay or leave these people behind...
Their king actually made a big fanfare to send people back!
Now is the time to talk about heroism?
Because Kang State has a grain surplus and the domestic wine industry is relatively developed, no matter how high or low they are, they can afford a few sips. Lin Feng's drinking capacity is naturally not bad. Others took turns to toast, and Lin Feng also welcomed all comers, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves until late at night.
Before dawn, the luggage has been packed.
"After a long journey, I have to say goodbye. Lin Feng thanks Lord Zhai for the sunshine during this period." Outside the royal capital, Lin Feng and his party were ready to go. Zhai Le, as the Lord of the Kingdom, was also present in person. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was full of sincerity. However, Lin Feng remained unmoved.
Zhai Le reluctantly said: "Oh, have a safe trip."
In this situation, he couldn't help but think of some past events.
He cupped his fists and said: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow - gentlemen, we will see you again in the next year! Give my regards to Lord Shen."
Lin Feng also returned the gift: "I wish you and your country good luck."
After finishing her words, she turned around and said to everyone: "Let's set off!"
King Qu gradually shrank behind him, but his shadow-like gaze did not dissipate. The nerve in Lin Feng's mind was stretched to the limit. She closed her eyes and counted silently in her heart, her hands holding the reins motionless: "Don't look back, go—"
There are officials from Qu State who are responsible for guiding the way.
"...The more publicized it is, the more worrying it is."
Everyone in the world knew that they had left Qu State. If they did not return to Kang State on time, whatever happened along the way would have nothing to do with Qu State. The group traveled in a light and easy manner, and their pace was not slow. When they were about to leave the border of Qu State, the dark night revealed danger.
"Tsk, there's no more insect noise."
As if being suppressed by something, he was trembling and dared not speak out.
Lin Feng held the hilt of his sword, and thick fog suddenly appeared at the end of the road.
"The visitor is a guest, why don't you come out to meet me?"
"I built this mountain, and I planted this road. Little girl, if you want to pass by this way, leave a human head on your neck!" A strange cry like a night owl sounded, and ghostly voices came to your ears from all directions.
"What if I shouldn't?"
"If you don't want to die, don't cross the line."
Lin Feng cast a glance at Luo Sha.
After spending these days together, we have developed some tacit understanding.
Luo Sha's eyebrows narrowed slightly and he shook his head slowly. He could not detect the other party's position, and Gong Xiqiu's response was the same.
Lin Feng asked calmly: "Are they from Lord Zhai? Ordinary bandits wouldn't have such good skills, don't you think so?"
The man sneered: "Why can't it be framed?"
"It is also possible, but it is not important. Whether you followed the order of Lord Zhai or which force you followed to undermine the cooperation between Kangqu and Qu, the purpose was not to stop us? For us, there is no The difference." Lin Feng pulled out his sword and carried her a few steps closer to the thick fog. He was more than ten feet away from the main force and said in a cold voice, "In short, get out of the way!"
The man in the dark sneered: "You don't know your own abilities."
Lin Feng said: "So, he is from the Lord Zhai."
If it were a third-party force that was destroying the two countries, the moment Lin Feng stepped out of the crowd, his killer move would have been made. Being so close, not even Gong Xiqiu and Gong Xiqiu dared to protect her from the aftermath of the shock. The body of a literary scholar is very fragile, and he will suffer internal injuries even if he does not die.
The fact that she is safe means that her life is valuable.
Killing her was just a last resort.
"Huh, clever little guy."
"A little cleverness can save lives if used well..."
It can delay time even more.
Lin Feng took two leisurely turns on the horse: "It may not be difficult to keep us waiting today, but can Zhai Le afford the gamble?"
"bet?"
The voice was someone else's.
"Should we spare no effort to keep us here, or should we turn the Qu Kingdom upside down from now on! If what we predict is true, things will change in the royal capital right now." Lin Feng said with a smile, "The Lord Zhai extended his hospitality, and Lin Feng had nothing to repay. He could only Do what you can to repay the favor and tell him... the secrets he's been kept in the dark."

Alas, everyone seems to have made an appointment today. A few friends asked me when I would release a new book. I said that this one would be released soon after finishing it. He asked me again what my ideas were for the new book and what genre it was. I said I should write about what I like to write and what I am good at.
PS: Zhang Yang, let’s meet in March at the latest.
