One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
This is no longer a simple transaction, but an exhortation to step down and let others take over.
What Chen Feng said just now has been expressed very clearly. After the incident with Hong Jiuling, I don’t trust any of you, not even you, Feng Zhiyong. So, if you want to gain my trust and materials, I need to support someone I trust to sit in a high position.
More rights.
Obviously, only the ruler who controls the east side of the bridge is qualified to trade with him.
No one present was a fool. Feng Zhiyong frowned, Han Qiang endured it, and Tian Xuefeng glared. This was how they viewed the matter.
But at this time, they were more curious than anyone else about who the mysterious person was who could make Chen Feng willing to promise such benefits.
"Xu Hongzhuang, Major Xu!"
However, when Chen Feng finally read out the other party's name, these people had surprised expressions on their faces. They were full of disbelief at first. After all, to them, Xu Hongzhuang was an ally standing together and a Valkyrie promoted by Feng Zhiyong. No matter who rebelled, Xu Hongzhuang would not be able to do so.
At this time, several people even looked at Xu Hongzhuang at the same time.
When Xu Hongzhuang heard Chen Feng say her name, she was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic appeared on her face, and under pressure, she even bit her lip.
"not good!"
They were all experienced veterans, so how could they not see that Xu Hongzhuang was acting strangely now.
Or maybe Chen Feng was not talking nonsense, but he really wanted to support Xu Hongzhuang to become the ruler of Qiaodong!
Too sudden.
Tian Xuefeng, who was originally irritable, immediately went berserk. He shouted loudly, pointed at Xu Hongzhuang with his only remaining arm, and scolded: "You can't judge a person by his appearance. I originally thought that Hong Jiuling had hidden himself well enough, but now I understand that there is a vicious villain hiding among us!"
"Xu Hongzhuang, look at me, how has Colonel Feng treated you well? You actually colluded with outsiders to seize power together!"
"Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? No wonder you just defended Chen Feng so much. It turns out that you two have been colluding with each other for a long time. Traitor, you are a traitor!"
Chen Feng's eyes gradually became cold.
The air around them seemed to be frozen, and a sense of oppression descended upon everyone.
Chen Feng is not a good guy who would allow Tian Xuefeng to make indirect accusations. With the insect tide approaching, he cannot accept that Qiaodong is still a mess.
Helping Xu Hongzhuang take control of Qiaodong was a decision he had made before.
Although Feng Zhiyong is a good person and Chen Feng believes that he is thinking about the people, there is one thing: he has too many things to consider. In this situation, many of Chen Feng's ideas cannot be implemented in a short period of time.
But Xu Hongzhuang is different. Her heart is filled with the obsession of revenge. She is more resolute and decisive in doing things and supports the other party to take the position, which is conducive to the implementation of the plan.
Xu Hongzhuang now has both the military force and the fame. In today's world, the strong are respected. After a period of accumulation, Xu Hongzhuang also has a large number of supporters of her own. Chen Feng does not like to make plans slowly. What he has to do is to make a decision promptly and nominate the other party to become the ruler of Qiaodong.
Now that things have come to this, it means that Chen Feng is ready to fight to the bitter end. Anyway, he is confident that he can capture Feng Zhiyong and others before the reinforcements arrive.
Long before, Chen Feng dispatched 800 soldiers under the guise of transporting supplies. In addition, Mr. Fang's corpse leader and the necromancer's skeleton warriors were also ready to go. Once chaos occurred, they could immediately help Xu Hongzhuang suppress the villains.
A coup heralds death.
Chen Feng never thought that once the relationship was broken, he would be able to take over Qiaodong without bloodshed.
He is ready to fight.
This may seem a bit hasty, but little do people know that every step Chen Feng takes has its own deep meaning.
Just think about it, if Xu Hongzhuang controls Qiaodong and all resources of the Economic Development Zone and Qiaodong are shared, then an even more terrifying combat power will definitely be unleashed.
Anyone who tries to stop my plan shall die!
However, these thoughts only flashed through Chen Feng's mind and did not cause any shock. He was waiting, waiting for an answer from the other party.
Feng Zhiyong was not in a hurry, and did not appear to blame as imagined. Instead, he raised his hand to stop Tian Xuefeng's rebuke, then looked at Xu Hongzhuang and said in a trembling voice: "Hongzhuang, I want you to tell me in person, do you think so?"
Xu Hongzhuang was a little conflicted. She had not expected that Chen Feng would expose this matter today, and in front of Feng Zhiyong and others.
As the pride of Qiaodong, Xu Hongzhuang wanted to shake her head and refute everything Chen Feng said, but at this moment, the decision she made that day suddenly emerged in her mind.
She has made her choice.
Escape should not be an option.
Xu Hongzhuang clenched her fists, her hands turned pale, and she said word by word: "Qiaodong should make changes. I... do this for the good of everyone."
The voice was full of certainty and determination.
At this moment, Xu Hongzhuang spoke out completely what was in her mind, and it seemed as if she had broken through some kind of limitation. Her whole body exuded a sharp sword aura, and before she could use her ability, others felt as if their souls were being torn apart and killed by the opponent!
Looking at Xu Hongzhuang, Feng Zhiyong grinned, as if he was reminiscing, or letting go, and said lightly: "You have grown up, Hongzhuang."
"I have always put a shackle on myself, thinking that everything I did was for the good of Qiaodong, but in fact, it is not the case. I am just an ordinary person. No matter how hard I try, I can't become a professional like you."
"The future belongs to you young people. I am old. Perhaps I should let go."
As Feng Zhiyong spoke, his face instantly became old, and even his straight back became bent and a little hunchbacked.
In the past, he had always been holding on.
As the leader of the war faction and the colonel of Qiaodong, everyone can be sad and upset, but he is the only one who needs to keep a clear mind at all times.
He would feel heartbroken if he ordered the killing of the warriors.
If you keep giving in, he will get angry.
He would be even more sad to see Zhou Xian die in battle.
But he couldn't show it, just because he was Feng Zhiyong.
But now, when the subordinates he had cultivated began to veto his efforts for so long, this stubborn leader finally put down the burden.
"I have been in this position for so long not because of power, but for the entire East Bridge."
"You're right, maybe it's because I'm too persistent."
"Promise me Hongzhuang to make this place a better place."
Betrayal of those who trust.
This became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Feng Zhiyong.
Everything fell into place.
abdicate.
Not long after, Feng Zhiyong claimed that he was in poor health and transferred all the ruling power in the city to Xu Hongzhuang. The Iron Demon Army and other troops also all pledged allegiance to him without any objection.
Tian Xuefeng was stripped of his position and was not allowed to participate in any mission except for making weapons.
Han Qiang also strangely retreated to the third line and no longer touched the secrets of the city.
This is the news on the surface.
Anyone with some power knew that this was a coup, because the old forces disappeared too suddenly, but who dared to protest
A week after taking control of Qiaodong, Xu Hongzhuang issued an order to capture the remnants of the conservative forces.
In just one day, hundreds of conspirators who attempted to overthrow power were killed, and more than 600 diehard members were arrested.
Everything happened too suddenly.
No one expected that Xu Hongzhuang would use such drastic measures to completely eradicate the foundation of the conservatives.
That's exactly why.
East of the bridge.
A new era has arrived.
