Chapter 143: Help King Ding
The next day, he invited Cheli and his third son Jiang Deji. In the conference hall, he told the battle situation in detail without any hesitation.
"Father! I want to avenge my elder brother and second brother, and kill all their Feng family and Ma family."
"We cannot win if the two families are united, let alone the king is staring at us, and the heart of the Yuezhi tribe is not stable."
"City Lord! If there are no latter two, we will have a great chance of winning, but if we conquer them at the same time, we will also have to suffer great damage to our vitality. To avenge this revenge, we must stabilize Wule and find out the differences between Ma Feng's families. As for King Ding, I am willing to state our justice. After all, he is the king. After all, we have two famous people who have died, at least he has to express his opinion."
"I am a qualified Taoist master, and the analysis is exactly what I want. Then you go down and prepare, the faster you set off, the better."
"City Lord! In order to repay the eldest son's kindness for his goodwill, I must be heartbroken. I will not be willing to die. I will leave tonight."
"Okay! If you have news, report to this immediately."
Not long after Che Li left, Xie Bing, the head of the city guard, came to report.
"City Lord! Didn't you feel that it was a little different from before you left?"
"It seems that there are fewer people on the street and fewer smiles." Lord Jiang thought about it carefully.
"And they were a little nervous, and there were even fewer people at night; they were not as prosperous as before."
"What's going on? They are our roots. When the city is in chaos, my Jiang family will have no place to stand. Then I will become a sinner of the Jiang family and be ashamed of my ancestors."
"Since you left, several evil things happened in this city where the childlike innocence was picked. It was very miserable, causing the city to be full of wind and rain. Some people left Jiangcheng and returned to the countryside; some fled to Dingcheng or Zhangcheng."
"Have you found the reason?"
"It is said that this kind of thing happened not only in Ding State, but also in the Eastern State defending the Demon City, Zhao State, Zhe State and Zheng State. The methods are extremely tragic and inhumane."
"So have they found any reason?"
"King! According to news from outside, in the Eastern Kingdom, Lord Zhuge was imprisoned, and the Ouyang family gained power again; three Duan brothers were dead in the Demon City, and the chaos in the area were suffered; King Zhao was dead, and his sons fought for the throne; in the Zhe Kingdom, Agulamu's eldest son Batu was dead, Zhuoligetu overestimated his ability and went to besiege the capital and was surrounded by the Agula people; in the Qu Kingdom, there was also a very chaotic son. After King Qu died, an illegitimate son appeared to compete for the throne with the prince, and he also fought; in Zheng, King Zheng was encircling the indigenous people. They had no intention of caring about this."
"I have heard of it a little too. However, we have to check. We are fighting outside, so we don't want chaos here. At that time, we can't even go back home."
"Father! Almost all the people who tied the hearts committed crimes late at night. I tried to follow him, but that man had great martial arts skills and could attack the world and have many tricks." Jiang Deji said:
"Then you have more people to set up a net of heaven and earth; since your martial arts are so powerful, you can add more archers to the patrol soldiers. Try to catch the alive, if you can't catch them, you will be killed with one arrow."
"This also reminds people of the blood-sucking snow demon who has been missing for almost a hundred years." Xie Bing, the chief of the city guard, said:
"After the Snow Mountain War, Master Xuantian left us the last words that a hundred years are coming, the curse is about to be broken, the doomsday is coming, and demons are everywhere. They are all blood-sucking, and those who are sucked will turn into snow monsters and continue to suck blood. I haven't heard of those who are sucked. What about the children who are plucked?"
"I didn't turn into a snow monster, but I was buried by their family." Xie Bing said:
"Then it must be artificial in this way. You have to check it quickly to make the people in the city feel at ease."
"But why do those people steal their childlike innocence?" Xie Bing asked curiously:
"Since it's not done by the snow demon, don't be afraid. If you find someone who is pinched, don't you know if you examine it?"
"The city lord is wise. I will try my best to catch the evil man who steals his heart."
The news of killing Jiang Xiaoji also reached the Lord Feng, who was both happy and frowned.
"Master! In the battle to defend Lu'an City, either Jiang Xiaoji died or our second son died. Since the enemy soldiers were repelled, why do you sigh here?" Mrs. Feng said:
"If we kill the second son of the Jiang family, the hatred will continue. Our two families have probably become enemies, and they must hate us Feng Cheng to death."
"We don't want to have a sword without eyes, but if our reinforcements are not available, our second son will die. If we want to choose one of the two, I would rather die their son, let alone they are too domineering and bullying people. With more people than us, they will invade us without authorization. King Ding is too cowardly. The Yuezhi tribe was conquered by their Jiang family, and he didn't even dare to let go of anything. He also said that he would marry his daughter to his son."
"King Ding is a smart man. He knows that the Jiang family is powerful and wants us to consume first, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Tell me if this is the case set up by King Ding?"
"I don't know, but I know that the son and daughter of Lord Ma both died at the hands of the lustful demon Jiang Zhiji. Lord Ma took revenge for his own sake."
"When it comes to City Lord Ma, he is also a scheming person, and I am also worried. According to Yiyong, Jiang Xiaoji could have been captured alive, but Ma Ning was so angry that he killed Jiang Xiaoji who wanted to surrender. Could it be that he wanted to take revenge, or did he want to sow the seeds of hatred for the Feng family and the Jiang family?"
"Master, don't have so many people. We have few people and few lands. King Ding is weak. We have to find a more reliable ally."
"Yes! It's still the lady who said it right! However, the world is ruthless, I'm not him, and I really can't know what he is thinking."
A few days later, Cheli sent information, saying that King Ding was sick and did not want to see anyone. He just wanted to rest and asked him to find his eldest son Ding Cheng, but Ding Cheng said that the matter was very serious. Without the instructions of his father, he did not dare to agree. Lord Jiang was so angry that his hair was almost standing up and his face was swollen.
"City Lord! King Ding did it on purpose, and it is likely that he is still resentful of the Yuezhi tribe." Xie Bing, the chief of the city guard, said:
"Everyone with a discerning eye knows that if King Ding was not here, we could compete with the Ma Feng family, and there would be a lot of hope of winning. But if King Ding suddenly came, we would be very passive. Now, his attitude towards this matter is still vague. Should he agree with us, help us, or to abide by or deny us?" Jiang Deji said:
“What’s going on the front line?”
"Father! It's the same."
"You must take revenge for your two sons. You should go down and prepare and transfer another 10,000 troops. Wait for the order at any time."
After the third son Deji took the order, City Lord Jiang asked the chief guard Xie Bing: "What about picking up the childlike innocence?"
"There is no movement at the moment, and there is no listening to the people's reports. Maybe we have strengthened the patrol, so the person who pinched the heart dared not."
"You are right, it is important to stabilize this place, otherwise I will be uneasy on the front line, and this revenge will be difficult to avenge. As for the capital, you tell Cheli that no matter whether you see or not, you must understand King Ding's attitude towards this matter."
