Chapter 166 The Situation in the Da Feng Dynasty Changes Dramatically, Can't Buy Black Crow Flame Anymore?_2
Furthermore, the Luo Family had won several victorious battles in a row.
Their might had already become extremely formidable.
If, at this time,
the Luo Family, in charge of the three prefectures, wanted to intervene and thus carve up the territory of Qingcheng Prefecture,
the pressure on the New Emperor Feng Wumian's side, although it would suddenly weaken considerably,
the benefits afterward,
would also be much less.
And this was exactly the scene Feng Wumian did not wish to see.
"Right..."
After pondering for a long time, the New Emperor Feng Wumian seemed to think of something.
He slightly turned his head, looking at Zhong Yu beside him.
Then, he asked in a low voice, "How are the territories of Changli Prefecture near Chenguan Prefecture, and the Xunyang Prefecture controlled by the Ke Family doing?"
"If we could calm down these two territories,
"Or even, pose a slight threat to the Luo Family..."
"It would be a great boon for us."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yu thought for a moment and then gave an answer, "The situation in Changli Prefecture is precarious, even worse than Qingcheng Prefecture by several to even a dozen times, and as for the Ke Family in charge of Xunyang Prefecture, they have already paid a heavy price in the early stages to take down Changli Prefecture, now asking the Ke Family to back down..."
"That should be quite an improbable affair."
Feng Wumian nodded his head when he heard this.
What Zhong Yu said made some sense.
The Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture had already paid countless prices to take down Changli Prefecture.
Now, to just let the Ke Family give up,
naturally, was an impossible matter.
And since, asking the Ke Family in charge of Xunyang Prefecture to give up had become an impossible affair,
he might as well support the Ke Family instead.
Let the Ke Family from Xunyang Prefecture take over Changli Prefecture.
Let the Ke Family progressively grow stronger.
In this way, the Ke Family could restrain a substantial part of the Luo Family's strength.
Wouldn't that significantly reduce the pressure on his side, Feng Wumian?
"An enemy's enemy is a friend."
"Since the Ke Family will not give up the attack on Changli Prefecture, then let's help the Ke Family..."
...
After the New Emperor Feng Wumian made his decision,
soon, an invisible force was vigorously pushing behind the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture.
Meanwhile, in the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided, in Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land,
there sat Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family.
Firmly seated at the seat of honor,
he brewed tea while silently watching the horizon.
The war between New Emperor Feng Wumian and Feng Wuyi of Qingcheng Prefecture was gradually becoming more intense.
The side of Qingcheng Prefecture was resisting vigorously,
while the New Emperor's side was attacking madly.
Essentially, the situation was such that Qingcheng Prefecture was at an absolute disadvantage, while the New Emperor's side had an absolute advantage.
If things continued like this,
within a year, Qingcheng Prefecture would thoroughly fall into the hands of New Emperor Feng Wumian.
But will things really turn out this way?
Will it really go so smoothly?
Clearly, it was not possible.
Even excluding the Luo Family, just Feng Wuhen, the Second Prince in charge of Changqing Prefecture nearby Qingcheng Prefecture,
had been extremely active recently.
In recent days, Feng Wuhen had been constantly moving between the neutrally positioned Anqing Mansion.
Although Luo Ping did not know exactly what Feng Wuhen and the lord of Anqing Mansion discussed,
he knew...
that Feng Wuhen definitely had designs on Qingcheng Prefecture.
If Feng Wuhen had no intentions,
why bother moving continuously within the neutral Anqing Mansion during this period?
"The New Emperor Feng Wumian who controls two prefectures..."
"Feng Wuhen in charge of Changqing Prefecture..."
"And, Feng Wuyi who is currently unable to extricate himself from the mortal quagmire..."
"The people of the Royal Feng Family are really interesting..."
...
In the room,
Luo Ping quietly thought to himself,
while lifting the cup of hot tea in his hand.
He brought it to his lips and took a sip.
Just as Luo Ping was in this immensely comfortable mood,
a figure dressed in black suddenly appeared in the room.
Seeing the mysterious cultivator in black attire,
Luo Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.
In an instant, the leisurely and comfortable expression on his face disappeared.
He was very clear in his heart,
that the person before him was a power cultivated by his mysterious old ancestor.
His name, Shadow Guard.
The force of the Shadow Guard, at any time, followed only Luo Changfeng's orders.
Usually, they would not appear before the eyes of the Luo Family Clan.
But once they did appear, it signified
that important events were about to unfold.
...
After the Shadow Guard appeared,
he whispered something into Luo Ping's ear.
At first Luo Ping did not take it seriously,
but as he listened...
Luo Ping's face gradually showed a trace of change.
Until, after everything was said,
the Shadow Guard completely vanished from the room.
Only then did Luo Ping, seated at the seat of honor, slowly exhale a sigh.
The people in the room were also curiously turning their gaze towards Luo Ping,
seemingly inquiring.
What on earth had happened?
"Gentlemen..."
After being silent for a long time, Luo Ping, still seated at the seat of honor,
quietly raised his head to gaze at the people before him and spoke softly,
"Soon, Changli Prefecture might fall into the hands of the Ke Family of Xunyang Prefecture... "
