Wu Feng, who returned to his cabin, was a little depressed. He was immediately discovered by the attentive girls in his bad mood, but they didn't know what caused his bad mood. Fortunately, it was dark at night and the cabin was illuminated by candlelight. The room was brightly lit, so the girls sat in the cabin with Wu Feng and chatted.
Logically speaking, Wu Feng should be happiest when surrounded by beautiful women, but Wu Feng was still thinking about what the ship boss said just now, and he didn't have much time to chat with them. The Five Lakes have been in a state of decay. I am afraid that if this continues, even if Situ Jun has the fifth and sixth legions to support him, he may not be able to sustain it for too long. It is a pity that these royal nobles only care about power and profit, but do not care about the lives of the people in the territory. , if the empire had not been established for a long time, and Cheng Dayou had taken on the guise of a cult and rebelled against the party, I am afraid that the Wuhu area would have fallen into his hands soon, even if the Machihan people were in Leijue. Under Tian's plan, you can also get a piece of the pie, and it's not just Baling.
"Sir, you seem to be in a bad mood. Is there something on your mind? Why don't you say it so that a few sisters can share your worries?" Leng Ruoxing had already spoken, and then he realized that there was something wrong with his words. These sisters It seems that he has also been included in it, and everyone knows that Yunyi and Su Jie have already been Wu Feng's bedfellows. Only Gu Mingxia and she are still Yunying's unmarried body. Doesn't this mean that Will he also follow in the footsteps of Yunyi and Su Jie? Even the second daughter Yunsu noticed her speech problem and glanced at her quietly.
However, Wu Feng's mind was not on this and he did not notice the opportunity. Instead, he shook his head and sighed: "I just chatted with the boss of the ship in the front cabin for a while. I didn't expect that the situation in the Wuhu area has deteriorated so much. The situation even exceeds my imagination, and His Highness the Third Prince seems not to have noticed the lurking crisis here. If it is not handled carefully, as long as there is a slight external force, the five lakes and the land will be in chaos."
The girls were all shocked, especially Su Jie and Leng Ruoxing. They had never seen Wu Feng commenting on the situation in that region of the empire in such a tone, especially since this was Wuhu County, which had the empire's granary. Seeing the expressions of surprise and uncertainty on the faces of the women, Wu Feng recounted the situation he had just received in detail, adding his own opinions.
Su Jie has gradually successfully integrated into Wu Feng's life. She is very satisfied with her current life. She is a woman who is not willing to remain silent. Although she is the second-ranked disciple in the Huan Feng Sect, the Huan Feng Sect's external contacts are She can play a unique role in affairs and the decision-making of Huanfeng Sect. After she dedicated her innocent body to Wu Feng, Wu Feng also discovered her talent in this area while feeling pity. The Tengger Grassland and his party made Su Jie's knowledge and experience have also been greatly improved, especially the information she temporarily sent back, which also allowed Wu Feng to play an extremely important role in the Battle of Tengger. However, Su Jie, who returned to the northwest, did not take credit for herself. Wu Feng was very satisfied.
After entering Wu Feng's life, Su Jie gradually discovered that the world is so big, and these lives are so rich and exciting. Compared with the entire northwest land controlled by Wu Feng, as well as the Tengger Grassland, the Western Regions, Northern Luzon, Guanxi, and even Luzon, Luobei, Chidi, Bein, Kaman, Xisluo, and of course the central and local forces in the interior, these all-encompassing political, economic, military, diplomatic, The contact with religion, commerce, and even culture and art made her mind suddenly clear. How narrow and single the world she originally lived in was like a frog in a well. Wu Feng confirmed her loyalty to him. Later, he also deliberately brought her into his world and let her contact and intervene in many of his affairs. This made Su Jie feel surprised and happy, but also became more eager to familiarize and learn all this. And her innate ability Her talent gradually emerged, so that many times, Wu Feng even felt that she was a born political analyst. Unfortunately, her gender and identity limited her talents, and she had to stay behind the scenes many times.
After listening to Wu Feng's touching introduction, Su Jie saw Wu Feng looking at her, obviously wanting to hear her opinion, but with the two girls Leng Ruoxing and Gu Mingxia in front of her, she didn't know how these two girls were related to Wu Feng. He hesitated for a moment and then said cautiously: "Sir, since this is the case in the Wuhu area, then the Machihans and Cheng Dayou must be waiting for something. I judge whether they are waiting for someone. What about the timing? At the beginning, the Machikhans and Taiping sects launched attacks on the north and south fronts of the Five Lakes at the same time, swallowing up half of the Five Lakes at once. Now, although the Machikhans have pushed out Wenning, they are trying to control Baling's rule. Successfully strengthened, I heard that Lei Juetian hired Tang people as officials in Baling, and many of them were local officials who were not allowed to be reused in the past. This move is said to have played a very good role, otherwise the situation in Baling would not have been so calm. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the Maci Khans deployed a strong occupying force here. Now, as you said, the situation in Yueyang, Anshun, Huanggang and Wenning is very serious. If the situation in Beijing becomes turbulent, How will these two forces, the south and the north, react? Will the north and the south attack to carve up the five lakes?"
Wu Feng nodded silently, then shook his head slightly, "Ajie, your initial analysis was correct, but the actions of this guy Cheng Dayou are very puzzling. If you say that he can control Jiujiang with only tens of thousands of people in his hands, It makes sense. The maximum we can capture Huanggang is the limit. But once the Machihan army moves north, even if he and the Machihans join forces to wipe out Situ Jun's army, will the Machihans be able to tolerate him? I'm afraid The next step will be his turn to step off the stage, and there is no way in his wisdom he could not have considered this."
Yun Yi and Gu Mingxia both seemed to understand the conversation between the two. They were not very clear about these political struggles, but Leng Ruoxing beside them had been traveling around the world for a long time, especially in Tianshan. After the Tianshan sect took control of the development of the northwest, they were even more optimistic about the future of Wufenguo. Although there were conflicts and differences on the issue of the Western Regions, seeking common ground while reserving differences, especially with the strong, has always been the consistent rule of the Tianshan sect, so it does not affect They had Wu Feng's following and support, so after Wu Feng decided to go to Beijing, they also proactively proposed to do their best to protect Wu Feng. This was also a way to protect the political investment of the Tianshan Sect.
Seeing Su Jie recounting her analysis, Leng Ruoxing felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. The Huanfeng Sect was not even a competitor of the Tianshan Sect in the Western Region, so when the Huanfeng Sect was plotting to assassinate Wu Feng, the Tianshan Sect came to challenge and intercede. However, seeing that the Huanfeng Sect disciples had succeeded, Having a firm foothold next to Wu Feng and being able to say such words shows that Su Jie has won Wu Feng's favor and is able to participate in some important affairs related to the secrets of the northwest.
"Master Li, from the Nu family's perspective, is it possible that Cheng Dayou has actually taken refuge with a certain prince and has not made it public yet, or is he still negotiating terms with a certain prince? It does not necessarily mean that he is Situ Jun. , or maybe one of the other princes and highnesses?" Leng Ruoxing gently brushed the black hair on his forehead and said casually with a bright smile on his face.
"Oh?" Wu Feng was startled. Leng Ruoxing's idea was quite original. If Cheng Dayou had taken refuge with a prince other than Situ Jun, such as Situ Lang, then he could become a big tree with Situ Lang's back. Ma Qihan Even if people go north, he won't worry about others, so this Cheng Dayu can be said to be in an invincible position. "Ruoxing is right. It seems that this Cheng Dayu is not easy. Tens of thousands of people can be in this strategic place." He has a firm foothold and is able to get both sides of the ball. I can’t help but say that this guy is a talent.”
"Is it possible that you are also attracted by your love for talents?" Leng Ruoxing's heart moved, with a smile on his lips. His delicate skin was white and rosy, and there was always a seductive allure.
"Haha, if Xing said where did he go, then Cheng Dayou can't compete with me in the northwest." Seeing that the other party didn't object to him calling her name directly, Wu Feng felt happy and said: "I'm worried about these five The lake area was originally the most fertile and prosperous place in the empire. If there is a major war, I am afraid that hundreds of years of accumulation will be destroyed in one day. No one in the Tang tribe wants to see such a tragic thing."
"However, if it is really as bad as your Excellency imagines, who can solve this catastrophic problem? Besides, the Nu family has also heard that the Machi Khans are also doing well in Baling. Maybe the Machi Khans have taken over the Five Lakes. It's not worse than the empire's management." Leng Ruoxing boldly spoke out what was on his mind.
"Ruoxing, you shouldn't talk nonsense like this outside. No matter whether the Lin family, Lang family or Li takes over the Five Lakes, they will at most have the reputation of causing trouble in a feudal town. But if a foreigner takes over the Central Plains, this will be difficult for the Tang people to accept. As a result, your remarks are heartbreaking." Wu Feng looked directly at the opponent's beautiful phoenix eyes, slowly shook his head and said, "This is a bottom line issue, maybe we Tang people can accept any humiliation, but It is absolutely impossible for us to accept the rule of foreigners."
"But your Excellency has also seen that such a rich Five Lakes has become so poor under the rule of the Situ clan, and the people are in dire straits. Your Excellency has the ability, so why don't you dare to raise this banner? If your Excellency can't, then someone else can. There seems to be nothing that the ruler who can save the people from water and fire can do, as long as he can save all the people from water and fire, even if he is not from the Tang clan!" Leng Ruoxing was not overwhelmed by Wu Feng's momentum and retorted not to be outdone.
