stand back, let me come

Chapter 1337: Wrath of Thunder (Part 1337) [Seeking monthly votes]

Gong Xichou didn’t quite understand Lin Feng’s choice.

In his opinion, it would be best if he could leave quietly this time, but if he couldn't, he would try not to completely anger Zhai Le. He was not afraid of a fight, but once he started a fight, he would not be able to take care of everyone. Gong Xichou's confusion almost made Lin Feng laugh. She asked, "Since the general had this concern, why did he directly provoke Zhai Xiaofang just now?"

It is not easy to cultivate farming talents who can turn words into objects.

There are not only gender restrictions, but also restrictions on employment direction.

In the mainstream circle, if one has a talent for cultivation, they are given priority to cultivate literature and martial arts. The few cultivated by the government are all direct descendants raised in their own academies, and not a single wild one was caught. More than half of them were brought out on this mission, and it was impossible for Lin Feng to sacrifice them.

To be frank, except for Gong Xichou and Luo Sha, the others were sacrificed at a higher level than them. Gong Xichou's words just now were really risky, and he didn't inform her beforehand. It was obvious that he was the one who took the most risk, and he still blamed her for being reckless afterwards.

Gong Xichou looked away guiltily, his eyelids drooping slightly, and he focused his attention on the void in his peripheral vision: "I can't help it."

He will make anyone who makes him unhappy unhappy.

others?
We will discuss this later.

Gong Xichou said quietly, "Zhai Xiaofang wouldn't dare to flip the table at this time anyway, so I'll just say a few words to him, which is considered as some interest."

Lin Feng: "..."

"But I really don't recommend you to intervene in his daughter's matter." Gong Xichou showed a gloating look on his face. "Young people are most likely to change their minds. When Zhai Xiaofang finds out that his precious child has been abducted and disabled, he will be so angry that he will dig up the ancestral graves."

It’s a pity that I can’t see that scene.

Gong Xichou has a strong desire for revenge, and his idea is very beautiful, but the person in charge is Lin Feng: "I know what the general is worried about. Is he worried that I will feel pity for the plight of the young?"

What gave Gong Xichou such an illusion?

Lin Feng said: "Of course I feel pity for her, but it's not because she is the daughter of Zhai Xiaofang, but because I think of her as my own. As the crown prince, he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Even those who are carefully selected cannot be fully trusted. Didn't Zhai Xiaofang care about her enough? She was still taken advantage of. Who can guarantee that something similar won't happen to the future prince? People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. As long as someone has ulterior motives, they can always get the benefits they want from her... It's really scary..."

How can the young crown prince not be worried when he is surrounded by wolves and tigers?

The despicable person who uses such means to destroy the crown prince should be killed.

When Lin Feng heard about this from Gong Xichou, his first reaction was worry, and his second reaction was murderous intent, which even spread to the female official. Zhai Le's daughter had nothing to do with the future succession of Kangguo, but this case was still of reference value.

"The future crown prince... you don't have to worry so much."

Gong Xichou couldn't help but think of the cunning and treacherous little red flower.

Who can let Him suffer?
Rather than worrying that he will be seduced by the people around him and indulge in homosexuality, it is better to worry that he will not be able to suppress his murderous nature.

These contents cannot be revealed to Lin Feng. After all, even Mama herself doesn’t know that she has a “hidden pearl in the ocean”.

"...I originally wanted to activate the poisonous insect in her body as a bargaining chip in negotiation with Zhai Xiaofang. As a last resort... let's see whether he chooses this daughter or insists on keeping us..." Lin Feng's mission on this trip was numerous and complicated. The most important one was to return safely. Shen Tang tacitly agreed that there would be certain sacrifices, but Lin Feng's idea was to have as many people return as those who went on the mission.

She said calmly: "But now that there is evidence at my door..."

Then it is natural to choose a more secure option.

Using the crown prince as a bargaining chip to threaten Zhai Le is a bad idea. If Zhai Le refuses to release the person and goes back on his word, then she will strike back and both sides will be even. Exposing the hidden dangers around the crown princess will cause a shock to the Qu Kingdom court, and Lin Feng and his group can hide behind it.

Seeing that Lin Feng had an idea, Gong Xichou stopped giving orders blindly.

He was curious about something else: "When was the poison administered?"

"Yesterday, on that lady."

"Won't she find out?"

"Didn't she admit that she was born with a defect?" The existence of a defect in the Dan Mansion means that it cannot be fully monitored, and it is possible for someone to take advantage of it. Lin Feng said, "I have seen this kind of defect in another person, but it is not congenital."

The "other person" she was referring to was Gu Chi.

In order to erase the traces of Wen Xin Hua's seal, Gu Chi paid a price, which resulted in him being unable to complete the ritual of the Way of the Scholar, and even his body was dragged down into a medicine jar. The doctors of Xinglin could not completely cure it even after visiting him every now and then.

What is less known is that there aren’t many parts missing from Gu Chi.

At least not so much that even the Wenxin monogram is affected.

The more defects, the greater the price paid, and the greater the price, the greater the "purpose". The female official must have a deeper secret, and what she is seeking is not just as simple as profit. In the territory of Qu State, Lin Feng cannot send people to conduct an in-depth investigation, so he can only take a gamble. Bet that there is a big fish behind the female official, and bet that this fuse will detonate the upper echelons of Qu State...

Lin Feng sighed: "It is not my wish to attack a child."

She thought that she was of the same generation as Zhai Le, and that Princess Wang was a junior. Her schemes against the junior made Lin Feng, who had a higher moral standard, feel a little embarrassed.

"Mother Lin should learn more from Gong Yang Yongye... These old guys don't even show mercy to their children, let alone their grandchildren..." Gong Xichou mourned for his own moral bottom line for three seconds, "It's not shameful."

Lin Feng's smile was a little forced: "Yeah."

Gong Xichou finally took up his post, and Luo Sha could also take a break from his shift.

The two agreed that each of them would be on duty for six hours. When Luo Sha came to relieve him, he found him transformed into a giant snake coiled on a pine tree halfway up the mountain. This location was high and remote enough to provide a wide field of vision. The python was entangled in the branches, its tail raised from time to time, swaying from side to side.

A pair of snake eyes often stare at the figure below.

I don't look at anyone individually, but I only look at girls.

Luo Sha: "...Did I catch you?"

He wanted to report Gong Xichou for abusing his power for personal gain and peeping at young girls all day long! Luo Sha didn't even know how this snake had practiced the Tongzi Kung to this age! Gong Xichou didn't even bother to look over, and said lazily: "What do you know? The best thing in life is peace in the world, and all good things are enthusiastic... As expected of Mama's subordinates, they are all good people..."

Luo Sha was silent for a few breaths.

"By good man, do you mean the one who tampered with the land?"

The wagging tail stopped: "Huh?"

Luo Sha chose to remain silent.

Gong Xichou probably didn't know that Lin Feng's initial plan was not to poison Princess Wang - Zhai Le's sending his daughter here was also a spur-of-the-moment decision, which was an uncontrollable variable - and it was not to detonate a big melon around Princess Wang! It was to bury the poisonous insect in Jitian, a safe area where she could move freely and Zhai Xiaofang would not dig three feet into the ground, so it was suitable for action.

Luo Sha saw her do it with his own eyes.

Not only was there some buried under the fields, but also some of the harvested rice. Luo Sha didn't know the specific purpose of that thing, but he could tell from Lin Feng's brows that were sometimes covered with shadows -

It's not a good thing.

There is a high probability that the impact will be wide and innocent people will be implicated.

Gong Xichou's suspended snake tail became lively again, obviously he discovered something under Luo Sha's hint. His voice remained cheerful: "Although I did something, I feel guilty. I am a good person. Reflect on yourself, do you feel guilty after killing someone?"

Luo Sha: “…No.”

"So do you consider yourself a good person?" "No."

"So, what a bunch of kind little mamas."

Luo Sha: “…”

He despaired of the brains of the creatures on the shore.

The busy days passed quickly, and more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye. With Zhai Le's unremitting cooperation, Lin Feng was even able to deliver the task ahead of schedule and have a surplus. The food and grass supply on the front line of Qu State was completely relieved, and the ministers of Qu State who had previously opposed it were all silent.

There is a terrifying undercurrent brewing beneath the seemingly calm surface of the water.

With the mission completed, she had to submit her resignation. Lin Feng found that the gazes on her were becoming clearer and stronger, as if they were going to skin her alive. But when the princess left the royal court, she visibly relaxed.

He occasionally joked with the female officials and did not deliberately avoid outsiders.

Even if there are doubts, they can be attributed to sisterhood.

Princess Wang has an elder sister. However, this elder sister, who is one year older than her, is an ordinary person. The two sisters have completely different personalities and cannot get along. Zhai Lechang is gentle and dull in temperament. Her biggest hobby is needlework, poetry and books. She is unwilling to learn martial arts to strengthen her body. Princess Wang likes to wield swords and sticks. What they talk about most every day are the affairs of the Princess's Mansion and trivial matters in the court. The two sisters are not on good terms.

Lin Feng saw all of this.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

She discovered that the affair between the princess and the court lady was no secret.

Other female officials also discovered something, but this matter did not reach Zhai Le's ears. This is interesting, which means that the families behind these female officials also have their own positions, and for various reasons they choose to turn a deaf ear and cover up secretly.

Zhai Le will be plotted against, and his descendants will also be plotted against.

The source of everything is just the word "interest".

The political ecology that was different from that of Kangguo broadened Lin Feng's horizons.

On the third day after the mission, Lin Feng packed up and prepared to leave and return home. Zhai Le was surprisingly happy and replied that day that he would hold a farewell banquet, and the civil and military officials of the Qu Kingdom would accompany him at the banquet.

His attitude was calm and he showed no intention of stopping anything.

The happier Zhai Le looked, the uglier the faces of the ministers looked. Naturally, they were unwilling to let Lin Feng and his party go. These people were like mobile granaries, and they also solved their doubts for many years - why did Kangguo not consider the supply of food lines during the war, nor did they care about the loss of food transportation? It turned out that they used local materials!
Whether it's finding an excuse to delay or leaving these people behind...

Their king actually made a big fuss about sending the people back!
Is now the time to talk about heroism?
Because Kangguo had a surplus of grain and the domestic wine industry was relatively developed, everyone, regardless of their status, could afford a few drinks, so Lin Feng's alcohol tolerance was naturally not bad. Others took turns to toast, and Lin Feng accepted everyone who came. The guests and hosts were very happy until late at night before they dispersed.

Before daybreak, the luggage had been packed.

"After sending you thousands of miles away, we must eventually say goodbye. Lin Feng thanks Lord Zhai for his care during this time." Outside the royal capital, Lin Feng and his party were ready to go. Zhai Le, as the king, also attended in person. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was sincere, but Lin Feng was unmoved.

Zhai Le was reluctant to leave: "Ah, have a safe journey."

In this situation, he couldn't help but think of some events from the past.

He clasped his fists and said, "The mountains remain unchanged, the waters flow forever - gentlemen, we'll meet again some other year! Give my regards to Mr. Shen."

Lin Feng also returned the greeting: "I wish your country prosperity."

After she finished speaking, she turned to everyone and said, "Let's go!"

The Qu Kingdom gradually shrank behind him, but the gaze that followed him like a shadow did not dissipate. The nerves in Lin Feng's brain were stretched to the limit. She closed her eyes and counted silently in her heart, holding the reins tightly with both hands, not moving at all: "Don't look back, go--"

There were officials from the State of Qu who were responsible for leading the way along the way.

"...The more fanfare it makes, the more worrisome it is."

Everyone knew that they had left Qu State. If they did not return to Kang State on time, what happened along the way would have nothing to do with Qu State. The group traveled light and at a fast pace. When they were about to leave the border of Qu State, the dark night was dangerous.

"Tsk, not even a single insect chirp has been heard."

He seemed to be suppressed by something, trembling and not daring to speak out.

Lin Feng gripped the hilt of the sword, and thick fog suddenly appeared at the end of the road.

"You are a guest, why don't you come out and meet me?"

"This mountain is opened by me, and this road is planted by me. Little girl, if you want to pass by here, leave your head for me!" A strange cry like a night owl sounded, and a ghostly voice came into the ears from all directions.

"What if I don't respond?"

"If you don't want to die, then don't cross the line."

Lin Feng cast a glance at Luo Sha.

After spending so much time together, we have developed some tacit understanding.

Luo Sha frowned slightly and shook his head slowly. He could not detect the other party's position, and Gong Xichou responded in the same way.

Lin Feng calmly asked, "Is it Lord Zhai's men? Ordinary bandits wouldn't have such good skills, don't you think?"

The man sneered: "Why can't it be a frame-up?"

"That's possible, but it doesn't matter. Whether you're following the orders of Lord Zhai or some other force to disrupt the cooperation between Kangqu and other countries, isn't your purpose to stop us? For us, it makes no difference." Lin Feng drew out his sword, and the warhorse under his crotch carried her a few steps closer to the thick fog, leaving the main force more than ten feet away, and shouted coldly, "In short, get out of the way!"

The person in the dark mocked: "You don't know your own abilities."

Lin Feng said: "So, he is Lord Zhai's man."

If it was a third party force that was destroying the two countries, the killing move would have arrived the moment Lin Feng stepped out of the crowd. At this close, even Gong Xichou and the others would not dare to protect her from the aftermath of the shock. The body of a Wenxin scholar is very fragile, and if he doesn't die, he will suffer internal injuries.

Her safety means that her life is valuable.

Killing her was only a last resort.

"Humph, clever one."

"If you use your cleverness well, it can save your life..."

It can delay time even more.

Lin Feng rode on his horse and leisurely turned around twice: "It may not be difficult to keep us here today, but can Zhai Le afford the gamble?"

"bet?"

The voice was changed.

"Should you keep us here at all costs and let the Kingdom of Qu change dramatically from now on, or should you stop at the brink and mend the fences after the sheep have been lost...Choose one! If my guess is correct, the capital should be in a completely different situation by now." Lin Feng said with a smile, "Lord Zhai has shown his hospitality, and Lin Feng has nothing to repay him with. I can only do my best to repay his kindness. Tell him some... secrets that he has been kept in the dark about."

(;Д｀)
Well, everyone seemed to have made an appointment today. Several friends asked me when I would start a new book, and I said that I would start it as soon as this one was almost finished. They also asked me what I thought of the new book and what genre it would be, and I said that I would still write what I like and am good at.

PS: Zhang Yang, let’s meet in March at the latest.
