"What do you think, Brother Li?" Ptolemy, who looked solemn, asked the same question. Seeing that the other party did not answer him for a long time, he had to emphasize his tone and said: "If Brother Li just wants to stabilize and strengthen your existing sphere of influence, then I’m sorry that I can’t support your opinion, but if Brother Li has more far-reaching ideas, then he might still be interested.”
"What difference does it make?" Wu Feng paused for a moment before replying, "Besides, whether what I say now represents my future thoughts, even I can't be sure. Can the chief believe it?"
"Haha, it would be impossible for me to make a conclusion just based on Brother Li's words now. But what Brother Li has done in recent years has made me admire him very much. Brother Li has managed such a large northwest area with great success. It's true. Make the neighbors around you envious." A smile appeared on Ptolemy's face, "Since Brother Li set foot in Northern Luzon, I have already felt that Brother Li has a far-reaching mind, so I asked this question, if Brother Li If you don’t want to answer, then give up.”
Wu Feng was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that when he marched into Northern Luzon, he would actually attract the attention of the Boyin people in the far north. It seems that this person also has great ambitions, but this is the best. If he has no long-term plans, , it is really difficult for me to get the other person to join my boat. From this point of view, I really made the right trip to the far north.
"Haha, it seems that Li's every move has attracted such attention from the chief. Li is really honored. If Li doesn't give the chief a satisfactory answer, the chief must think that Li has deliberately avoided it. Yes, in In front of the great chief, Li didn’t want to hide anything. Our Tanghe Empire is currently in a troubled time, and the empire is beset with internal and external difficulties. Otherwise, it would not be Li’s turn to solve the siege of Jerok. The Taiping Sect is raising trouble within the empire, and the Liberian people are in trouble. The country has obviously colluded with the Liberian countries. As a vassal of the empire, Li must not allow evil ways to run rampant in the empire. As long as the opportunity is right, Li will definitely send his troops eastward, but this is a powerful force led by the Kaman people. The Boya people are indeed putting a lot of pressure on Li, so Li is in this business." Wu Feng did not hide it, and calmly stated his purpose.
"Brother Li just said that even if you and I join forces to deal with the Kaman people, there is no chance of winning. Then what prospects are there for you and me to cooperate?" Tolemei didn't want to go around any more and went straight to the topic.
"Although the overall strength of the nobles is not weak at the moment, they have several fatal weaknesses. First, the productivity of the nobles is low, and the people mostly make a living by nomadic fishing and hunting, and their distribution is extremely scattered, without forming a relatively centralized central area. What's more, Needless to say, the city is a symbol of civilization and prosperity; secondly, although the noble warriors are brave, they lack formal military training and excellent weapons. The terrain of Marston Wasteland and Liberia Plain are relatively flat areas, suitable for large-scale Legion combat, especially mixed infantry and cavalry combat, is the main combat method, and this combat method is what the Liberian countries are good at, and now they have built fortresses in the middle of Marston Wasteland, which has become In order to drive a nail into the nobles' territory, the nobles suffered repeated setbacks and were forced to retreat to the mountains in the northern part of Marston Heath. This has a lot to do with it. Thirdly, the nobles have no reliable allies, especially those who can provide support to their opponents in the economic, commercial, intelligence and other aspects. You provide supporting allies, so you can say that you will lose every battle. At most, it’s just a matter of the degree of defeat.”
Wu Feng said these words so unceremoniously that Dolemy turned blue upon hearing this, but he had to admit that what the other party said was his side's weakness, and it was a key point that could not be solved in the short term.
"With the current situation of the nobles, even if they join forces with anyone, they will not be able to pose much of a substantial threat to the Liberians. Second-rate forces like the Taiping Army cannot even protect themselves. I don't know why the chief would believe in fighting with them. Can there be benefits from forming an alliance? Not to mention that they and the Liberians are of the same species. Of course, they and the Liberians are in the same bed, and their secret alliance will break up sooner or later. But in the eyes of the brothers, even the nobles will be used a lot. Aren't you sincere?" Wu Feng's words became more and more harsh, but they touched on Dolemy's pain points, making him unable to reply.
He had no intention of enjoying the singing and dancing. The chief of the largest tribe among the Bai people was completely moved by Wu Feng's sharp words. Although his eyes were still fixed on the bonfire in front of him, his mind was already focused on what Wu Feng said. Coming up.
Wu Feng didn't bother him. While enjoying the rare and graceful singing and dancing of the Boyin tribe to welcome distinguished guests, he couldn't help but clap his hands and sing to the beat of the drums. He looked like a noble man who was free and uninhibited.
The Baiyin women were all extremely tall and fit, and their skin was extremely white. Wu Feng took a quick look and saw that the figures of this group of singing and dancing women were not inferior to his own. Following the strong and unrestrained rhythm, the daggers , sharp daggers, and round shields came out of the cage one after another, scolding and yelling, gold and iron clashed, and the body that looked like jade on the outside added to the endless fun.
Suddenly the drumbeat changed, like an iron horse crossing a river and fighting through the sky, the beat suddenly became passionate and flying, a woman floated out from the back hall, leaping in the air, her white limbs flickering under the dark cloak, Seeing that Kankan was about to fall into the fire, he suddenly pushed his body and flew up in the sky above the bonfire, bringing up sparks. The sword light suddenly appeared, and there was a cold air. He only heard a light scolding, and a graceful and unparalleled gesture in the air The large ring shot straight towards where Wu Feng and Dolemi were sitting with a strong vortex of energy.
"Huh?" "Hmm," both Dolemy and Wu Feng were startled. They looked straight ahead at the same time. Although the two guards on Wu Feng's flanks did not move, their flexible and watery Qi had already quietly seeped out. When he came out, his eyes were like torches, and his divine light locked onto the spinning target.
The large ring had already turned into a black and white figure, and in an instant it was in front of Tuolemi and Wu Feng. Only then did Wu Feng see each other clearly. His long, dark green hair was fluttering due to the rapid flight, looking extremely gorgeous under the firelight. , the dark-black cloak stirred up strong winds, making a hunting sound, but could not wrap up the delicate body in the cloak at all. The plump and exquisite limbs flashed in Wu Feng's eyes, and the murderous aura condensed in the face, rushing towards his face.
None of this was enough to make Wu Feng move. The pair of crystal eyes as bright as cold stars on the embossed mask with a vivid ghost face was the reason why he was shocked. They were a pair of ever-changing eyes, as green as indigo. In just this short moment, his eyes seem to have transformed into countless expressions, like an endless pursuit of life, like a cold indifference to everything in front of him, or like a rush to see the world through. The Taoist heart of heaven is like a fairy who enters the world of immortality and is extremely interested in things in the world of mortals.
Seeing the shadow of the sword approaching, Wu Feng and Tuolemi remained motionless. The two guards flanking Wu Feng were also locked in energy and stood as tall as a mountain. As if he was a little annoyed at the people in front of him standing still, the figure that was approaching suddenly spun around, and the hand that was not holding the sword slammed downwards. Dust shadows fluttered on the rock-hard ground, and the figure took advantage of the situation. With a strange leap and spin, the extremely sharp sword power flew past the heads of Wu Feng and Tolemei, and a few broken hair fell in the wind.
It was only then that the chief of the Duoer tribe, as the owner, slammed the wine bottle he had been holding on to the low table, and his face darkened, "What a shame!"
As if unheard, the figure had already floated back while taking advantage of the situation to regain its strength. Its extremely flexible body turned into an arc in the air and disappeared in an instant from where it had just entered.
Seeing that Wu Feng was still watching where the figure disappeared, Dolemi smiled and said, "Sorry, I am my sister-in-law. She has practiced martial arts with the great wizard of her tribe since she was a child. She rarely appears in the tribe and has a weird temper. Even I, the elder brother, don’t pay much attention to it. Maybe I’m seeing a visitor from the clan today and want to see the world. Please bear with me, Brother Li.”
Smiling nonchalantly, Wu Feng picked up the falling hair and pretended to be surprised: "My sister has a really unique temperament and is so polite to guests. If I were less timid, wouldn't I make a fool of myself on the spot?"
"Haha," Dolemy smiled awkwardly and did not explain, "Brother Li is joking. How can the Northwest King, who has fought thousands of miles with dignity, not be intimidated by a mere trick?"
"Oh? Everything is unpredictable, and sometimes big boats can capsize in the gutter." Wu Feng replied half-truthfully.
"Hey, Brother Li, let's not talk about these jokes. I want to talk to some elders of my clan and Brother Li alone. I wonder what Brother Li wants?" The look on Dolemikuan's face straightened and he looked straight in the eye. Wu Feng raised his eyes and lowered his voice.
"I wish you could, but I don't dare to invite you." Wu Feng also looked back at the other party and smiled knowingly.
"Okay, okay, I believe that we will gain something from talking with Brother Li, and I believe that Brother Li will do the same." The two hands were firmly held together under the low case, and everything was said without saying anything.
Everything was as expected by Wu Feng. Those who participated in the talks were all powerful people in the Dole tribe who were closely related to Dolmi. Although they also saw the current crisis of their own tribe, they were far less far-sighted than Dolmi. He still had doubts about the purpose of Wu Feng's arrival and the current situation. During the whole meeting, Ptolemy rarely spoke. Even when he did speak, he raised objections and questions. Wu Feng, who was prepared, showed his sophistry to the fullest. With his talents, his deep understanding of the current situation and his psychological grasp of everyone present, this meeting was a fruitful one.
