Chapter 1191 – What I’m Most Unafraid of is Being Threatened

“What exactly is happening?”

Ouyang Shuo looked at Feng Tianlie in the video. Currently, Ouyang Shuo’s face was solemn to the max. Facing such an aristocratic family son, he did not have any good impression since the start. Naturally, Ouyang Shuo did not treat him nicely.

When Feng Tianlie saw that, although he felt a little unhappy, he did not dare to show it on his face, “Feng Wu was poisoned by Qing Luan and is still unconscious. I am in charge of the current Great Jin dynasty.”

After saying that last sentence, Feng Tianlie felt his confidence rise up.

Ouyang Shuo’s eyes narrowed. He had roughly guessed what was happening, and he scolded, “Shameless, Great Jin is already unstable, yet you’re actually using this moment to stronghand your sister?”

“Do not make false accusations.” Feng Tianlie was terrified by how Ouyang Shuo looked at him.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head. He did not want to dwell on such a person, so he directly asked, “Speak, what do you want?”

When Feng Tianlie heard that, he calmed himself down and did not bother to disguise anything and voiced his true intentions, “I need a promise.”

“What promise?”

“Promise that Great Xia will protect Great Jin and not swallow it up. We must sign an electronic contract regarding it.”

Right after they learned that Feng Qiuhuang was poisoned, the Feng family that had played with schemes their entire life could sense a huge chance to lengthen the rule of the Feng royal family.

They knew Feng Qiuhuang’s personality, and the moment she decided to join Great Xia, she would not change her mind. The only way to breakthrough would be on Ouyang Shuo’s side. They would need to make him promise that he would not swallow up Great Jin.

If that happened, their goal would be fulfilled.

“This is called saving the nation through twisted means,” the family elder said.

Feng Tianlie continued, “You do not want Great Zhou to destroy Great Jin, right? If Great Zhou succeeds, your military operation in the north would fail, and even the Zhongyuan Province that you have just taken down might not be keepable.”

“If you want us to go against Great Zhou, you need to take out some sincerity. We do not want to be backstabbed.”

Once a person became shameless, they would truly be close to invincible.

In the eyes of the Feng family, the safety of Great Jin could actually be used as a chip to negotiate with Great Xia. They were obviously trying to take advantage of Great Xia and were even saying it like they were in the right.

“Are you threatening me?” Ouyang Shuo understood his true intentions.

When Feng Tianlie heard that, he felt a little gleeful, “This cannot be considered threatening. We just have what the other wants. Didn’t you always promote a win-win cooperation? This is a win-win.”

Even Feng Tianlie himself felt that his words were starting to make sense.

“And what if I do not agree?” Ouyang Shuo was not going to fall for it.

Feng Tianlie’s expression froze up. After pausing, he said, “You’re not the only one interested in Great Jin. I believe Di Chen would be interested in my offer as well.”

Ouyang Shuo slowly calmed down, “You can go try. Looking at his character, after swallowing up Great Jin, let’s see if he’ll leave any bone scraps for you.”

“….”

Feng Tianlie was speechless.

Truthfully, from the start, the Feng Family had never intended to work with Di Chen. Although the Feng family was originally one of the Six Tyrants of Handan, everyone knew how Di Chen acted. Now that the Great Zhou troops were already under their city walls, how would they accept Great Jin merging with them? Much less agree to letting it be an independent empire.

Even Xiong Ba and Chun Shenjun could only huddle up section of a land.

Feng Tianlie only mentioned Di Chen to increase the stakes. He did not expect for Ouyang Shuo to completely not fall for it. However, he was not willing to just give up like that, as this was the only chance for the Feng family.

“Think about it, time waits for no one.”

Feng Tianlie did not wait for Ouyang Shuo to reply, directly cutting off the video to show his determination.

“Wow, any clown can jump out to show strength now.” Ouyang Shuo did not bother about his threat and shouted toward the door, “Men, summon Han Xin.”

“Yes, my king!”

Night, Great Zhou Dynasty, Handan City.

“Feng Tianlie, that Prince Regent, even switched off the Fallen Phoenix City teleportation formation. It seems like the assassination operation is more successfully than we thought.” Fenghua Juedai’s face revealed a smile for the first time.

Great Zhou made use of the Qing Luan chess piece to buy some time for the army. After all, even if Feng Qiuhuang used the substitute doll, it would take 24 hours for her to revive.

24 hours was enough for Difeng to do a lot of damage.

Who would expected that before Difeng even did anything, the Feng family themselves would start making noise, completing a close to perfect assist. Juedai Fenghua was obviously delighted with that.

Of course, they had no knowledge of the conversation between Feng Tianlie and Ouyang Shuo.

Di Chen was satisfied, “Feng Tianlie, that brainless fellow, is truly our lucky star. Well, tell the Difeng spies to spread news to say that Feng Tianlie is trying to seize power and has bad intentions.”

“That’s a good idea.” Juedai Fenghua’s eyes lit up, “This time, Great Jin will be in chaos no matter what.”

Great Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City.

Chancellor Li Si entered the palace in the night, meeting up with Qin Shihuang to talk about what had happened in Great Jin, “Your majesty, this is a great opportunity.”

“How so?” Qin Shihuang did not understand.

“Meng Yi is Great Jin’s prime minister, while Meng Tian has control over the Great Jin Guards Legion Corps. One civil servant and one general can decide the fate of Fallen Phoenix City. As long as you are able to recruit those two and give them Fallen Phoenix City, Great Jin territory would belong to us.”

To thank Great Jin for their help, Meng Yi and Meng Tian were forced to break away from Great Qin to work under Feng Qiuhuang. Who would have expected that Li Si would try to make use of this point to try to swallow the Great Jin Dynasty?

Qin Shihuang asked, “What should we do with the Great Zhou army?”

As a ruler, he naturally would not consider whether taking advantage of people when they were down was a righteous thing to do or not. What he thought about was the feasibility of the plan.

Li Si said confidently, “That’s easy. Meng Tian just needs to lead the troops to defend Fallen Phoenix City and wait for our Qin army to strike while stopping Great Zhou from sieging. As time goes on, once Great Xia destroys Great Qing, they would retreat on their own. When that happens, we can take advantage of the situation and take down Great Jin without using a single troop.”

Great Qin had promised to not send troops against Great Jin, but that promise was forgotten right away by Li Si.

To those distinguished people who lived during the Warring States Period, splitting up and joining hands was more than normal. There was no contract that was truly unbreakable.

Only one side cheating the other existed.

Li Si’s ambition was far from just that, and he said, “Once we occupy Great Jin, the Qin army can go down south and sweep Zhongyuan Province and chase away the Great Xia Army. When that happens, we will own three provinces of land. When we contact our allies, we will have enough to go head on against Great Xia and will no longer need to listen to them.”

The last sentence hit the sweet spot of Qin Shihuang.

As an emperor, after appearing in the wilderness, what Qin Shihuang could not accept was being forced to turtle in a section of land as he looked on at Great Xia and Great Zhou fighting without being able to interfere.

Li Si’s words totally ignited the fire in Qin Shihuang’s heart.

“Let’s do exactly that.” Qin Shihuang made up his mind, “I’ll go contact Meng Yi and Meng Tian.”

“Your majesty is wise.”

Li Si was delighted. Only after Great Qin entered the Zhongyuan battle could he have a stage to show off his talents. If not, being holed up in Xianyang City all day was enough to make him moldy.
