Chapter 161 – The King’s Concern
Wan Zheng-Hao’s face was twitching as he looked miserably at Feng Zhi-Ling, who was laughing wildly at the mont. He felt embarrassed... Yet there was nothing he could do. This gloating man has beco his boss now...
...
After a while, they finally cald down. They sat together. For the first ti, they had their friendly intersection... discussion!
“Master Feng, I just want to ask when we will start our cooperation.”
“Haven’t we started already?”
“Well then... The dan beads I need... I wonder when you could give them to ?”
“Haven’t I handed it to you already? Apparently, it worked well, the Slimming Dan bead!”
“Hey... I an urh... The other ones...”
“You want more Slimming Dan beads? Also the Life Extending Dan beads?”
“Yes, yes. Well I can hold it so days for the Life Extending Dan beads, but I am going to need the Slimming Dan beads urgently!”
“Heh, heh. No problem. But I don’t have ti for that.”
“Why? Do you have any difficulties?”
“You asked while knowing the answer. Haven’t I told you that I don’t have enough materials for that? The Slimming Dan bead I gave you was just a half-done work, because I didn’t have enough materials.”
“I apologize. It’s my fault... I shouldn’t have asked...”
“So, when I can give you your dan beads depends on when you can prepare the materials for .”
“I see. Please give
a list of the materials. I will try whatever I can to collect them as soon as possible.”
“Oh right. I have to let you know that the materials for these two kinds of dan were not rare ones, but it is still difficult to get them all in a short ti!”
“I will do my best.”
“I don’t care. It is you who want the dan beads so much, not .”
“Yes. I understand!”
...
“Since we are in the sa group now, I think we should have a title for you. Can I reveal your identity to the public?”
“Well, as you wish.”
“Good. How should we call you in work then?”
“Hmm, call ... Monarch then.”
Thus, in the Ling-Bao Hall Salesroom, there was a Monarch who had an extrely high position, even higher than the big boss, Wan Zheng-Hao... This event had shocked the world!
...
“Feng Monarch, is there anything I can offer you?”
“What I need are quite a lot, including dan-making materials, weapon materials, treasures. I will need them all. Oh, and all kinds of rare tals. All kinds of rare jades and stones. I need them all! All of them...”
“Ahem... Well.. Urh... If all these resources are offered to you, the salesroom will... urh...”
“It won’t be a problem. Give
whatever I want. Every now and then, I will give you so supre dan beads for the auctions. It will perfectly solve the financial problem...”
“Really?”
“Absolutely! And there may be other precious things other than the supre dan beads. All in all, from the day I am in the salesroom, it will never lack good objects to auction. So there won’t be any financial problems. The salesroom is going to earn dozens of tis more money than before.”
“That’s great. No problems then...”
“I think the next ti when we put the supre dan on the auction, we should make the auction much bigger than the last ti. That will make the dealing price much higher.”
“Ok.”
At the end of the conversation, as Ye Xiao told more and more, Wan Zheng-Hao felt it unbelievable that he actually knew that much. Bit by bit, he beca more and more respectful to Feng Zhi-Ling. It was a sincere respect from the bottom of his heart.
Besides, although Ye Xiao was in a higher position, he didn’t show any fierce vigor like Gu Jin-Long did. Instead, he was like a spring breeze blowing to the face silently, which could change people’s thoughts...
Gu Jin-Long only had the key that kept Wan Zheng-Hao alive.
Yet Xiao was controlling everything of Wan Zheng-Hao after all!
His life was under control.
His weight was under control.
His pleasure was under Ye Xiao’s control!
Even the possibility for him to regain his male capability was held in Ye Xiao’s hand!
Step by step, Wan Zheng-Hao beca fully loyal to Feng Zhi-Ling!
That was a complete loyalty!
In fact, it was not hard to understand. He had been loyal to Gu Jin-Long before.
Now he just shifted his loyalty to another master. That was all.
Besides, he would gain lots of profits that he couldn’t have received from his past master and didn’t dare to even dream of.
In fact, it was quite a happy situation for Wan Zheng-Hao being like this.
Well, it would be perfect if he didn’t eat that al... in which all the dishes were cooked with his own fat...
...
On the other side, sothing happened in the Royal Palace.
It was filled with sorrow.
The king’s second war affair eting had lasted for two days.
The officials had thought of all they could. At the mont, both bad and good officials, as long as they were not provocateurs, all racked their brains because of the crisis of the kingdom. They had tried their best to figure out any practical thods to save the kingdom.
People in the military group were all asking for joining the fight.
Even though they knew they would very possibly lose, they still wanted to offer their strength in the battle.
The kingdom was in vital danger. None of the soldiers would be stingy on offering their warm blood!
So far, there were many things that had been proposed.
The only thing they wanted was to defend. They wished to seize all chances to defend the kingdom and delay the ti of the war!
The longer, the better...
There was going to be a chance showing up!
So important passes were marked clearly. Those were the keys of the whole war.
“The most practical thod should be the Tortoise Tactic in all the four battles! No matter what the enemies do, we don’t answer. We don’t attack! We draw back our neck and we wait! They attack our camps, we defend. They stay out of the line of our camp, we stay still. Even if they abuse everyone in our clans, we don’t move!”
The Zuo Pri Minister’s words had aroused many disdainful emotions. Especially people of the military group, their eyes were sharp like knives!
[We are all honorable n! Yet you see us like tortoises...]
After rounds after rounds of discussions, all the officials found that this Tortoise Tactic seed to be the only thod to deal with the current situation!
It was the only practical and efficient tactic!
The camps were definitely strongly fortified; as long as the commanders were not fools. The camps must be full of traps. If the enemies forcibly attack the camps, they would inevitably pay a big price.
If they didn’t attack, no one would move. There was nothing the enemies could do about it...
“First of all, the royal stock holds still. We call up food and materials from all over the kingdom. At the sa ti, we control the prices in the market quickly, so that there won’t be any inside disturbance aroused. All the officials in their city should start transferring the resources to guarantee the supply to the battle...”
“We will not use a single thing in the royal stock until there is a urgent need for it. The over years’ stockpile in the royal stock can surely support our armies for three years... Three years should be more than enough.”
“Secondly, recruit young soldiers in a national range. Announce an urgent mobilization order. Increase the amount of rewards and punishnt in order to arouse the minds of war.”
“The king should make a decree to comfort all citizens.”
“Inform all the spies to make disturbances in the enemies’ kingdoms and make their forces start inner-fights.”
“Send so good n to get deep inside the enemies’ place to make troubles. Even putting a granary of a town on fire would do better than nothing!”
“Send so assassins to get into the heart of the armies to kill their leaders and to kill so important figures in their court... Even if they fail, it will stir up so disturbances.”
...
There were hundreds of this kind of suggestions being proposed!
The king went through all of them and listened carefully. In the two days, the recording officer had nearly tired his own hand to the point of disability...
The eting in the main hall finally ca to an end after two days.
The king returned to his study room and called for the two royal doctors and one master.
“How is Ye Xiao in the House of Ye?” The king asked directly.
“It doesn’t look good. He is most possibly not going to survive this.” Master Sun’s rugate face was solemn, “We have tried our best on it, and we even have used the supre dan bead. Although all we did have kept Ye Xiao breathing, he has rely ten days.”
The king was silent.
It was a rather unexpected result.
As Ye Xiao was dying, Ye Nan-Tian would definitely co back.
His son was dying. The king couldn’t be that cruel not to allow them to have a final eting, could he?
The man was Ye Nan-Tian after all!
“You highness, is General Ye going to... co back?” Master Sun asked hesitantly, “Now it is the dangerous mont of the kingdom. If General Ye cos back, especially for his son... he is ignoring the need of the kingdom.”
The king sighed and smiled bitterly.
He knew that others might not co back. Took Prince Hua-Yang for an example, even if Su Ye-Yue was in vital danger, he would probably stay focus on the war first. However, Ye Nan-Tian was different.
The reason why the king could have the support of Ye Nan-Tian was that he wanted to save his son, Ye Xiao!
Things he had done for his son had clearly shown that he was a man who could ignore everything for his son!
If his son was ok, he would fight for his best in the battle and frighten his enemies.
However... everything was wrong when his son was in danger!
Even if the king gave a hundred orders to forbid him from coming back, he would absolutely never hesitate to co back!
