Chapter 165 Distress and Turnaround
Long Yin raised his hand and suppressed the scolding of all civil and military officials, and said with a calm expression: "Your Dafeng Kingdom was defeated by my Tianlong Kingdom twenty years ago. It would be ridiculous to say that a prince from a defeated country would 'success without fighting'."
Feng Ling's eyes were dull and said slowly: "I was defeated by your Tianlong back then. Is it really because I was not as good as the Tianlong? Wrong! Everything is just because of the mercy of heaven. First, Kui Shui Kingdom and Canglan Kingdom acted at the same time and attacked me from north to south. My Dafeng Kingdom had to disperse most of the troops to block it. Second, after your Tianlong Ye family, the "military god" Ye Xiao, the "military god" of that year, appeared again. The old general Ye, who used troops like a god, made me famous.
**I failed to calculate it again and again, but I was plotted against it. My father often sighed, if there was no Ye family, the Tianlong Kingdom might have belonged to me at this time. Third, the firearms unique to your Tianlong Kingdom are powerful and have caused me to suffer heavy casualties. Fourth, your Tianlong Kingdom Sword God Chu Cangming took action and set up a sword god formation to block my front. Back then, my father and the emperor were afraid of the power of the Sword God, and they were unwilling to provoke this powerful enemy who was transcendent to the world, and eventually led their troops to retreat."
"Hmph! There is Kui Water in the south and Canglan in the north. If you dare to move to me, Tianlong, they will definitely take action at the same time. This is the century-old agreement of our Three Kingdoms. Your Dafeng Kingdom has three times the territory and military strength of my Tianlong, but if you move any of my Three Kingdoms, it is equivalent to facing our Three Kingdoms at the same time. At this time, you actually want to persuade us to surrender and take away the mountains of Tianlong without a single soldier. It is really naive and ridiculous. Did you, father and son, treat me as a fool, or... are you both stupid?" Long Yin sneered.
Feng Ling was not angry, and was still as calm as before: "Indeed, the most fundamental reason why my Dafeng Kingdom has not gained a tiny of land for so many years is that you three countries unite for self-protection. But I dare to ask the emperor... If one of the countries suddenly falls to my Dafeng Kingdom, do you think your Tianlong Kingdom can resist the offensive of my Dafeng Kingdom?"
Long Yin's whole body was trembling, and the civil and military officials with an angry face were also shocked. If there was no restraint from Kui Shui and Cang Lan, the dragon would be in danger. And Feng Ling's words were not aimless, could it be...
"If Feng Ling said nothing wrong... No, Feng Ling is sure. Before I come, the emperor should have sent urgent letters to the King of Kui Shui and Cang Lan. The emperor should have received a reply from the King of Cang Lan, but I wonder if he has received a reply from Kui Shui**?" After he said that, he shook his head and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "No, there must be no. Emperor, don't you know if Feng Ling's words are wrong?"
The atmosphere was terrifyingly suppressed for a moment, and dozens of nervous gazes focused on Long Yin. His answer could be said to be related to the future fate of the Tianlong Kingdom. Long Yin's eyes flashed, and he turned his head violently and glared at Feng Ling: "What benefits did you give Kui Shui Kingdom?"
This statement undoubtedly affirmed what Feng Ling said, and all the ministers under him were all in a state of disdain. If the Kui Shui Kingdom really turned to the strong wind, the pressure on the Tianlong Kingdom would double sharply. Facing the strong wind, it would definitely be in danger.
Long Yin's emotions were out of control and his peace of mind showed that his heart was also in chaos.
Feng Ling shook his head and said, "No, we did not give Kyushui Kingdom any benefits. As for why they did this, I am not very clear. But what I can be sure of is that on the day when you and me are fighting, Kyushui Kingdom will not only not help, but may also..." Feng Ling's voice stopped, and the second half of the sentence was self-evident.
"Hahahaha!" Ye Wei laughed loudly, and then said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't listen to him. If my Tianlong Kingdom is destroyed, the next one will definitely be Kui Shui Kingdom. How could the Kui Shui king do such an unwise move? What's the difference between this and giving up his own territory? It's really nonsense. It must be Dafeng Kingdom sending people to stop the messenger and then taking the issue to disrupt our military morale in turn. You must not be fooled!"
The ministers nodded one after another, but heard Feng Ling sigh, "General Ye's words are reasonable, but Feng Ling is a person who doesn't like to lie. If Feng Ling's words today are false, I will let my Feng family be a slave to the Long family for generations. Is General Ye trustworthy this time?"
Ye Wei's face froze. After a while, he sat down heavily. Such a vicious poisonous oath came from the mouth of the prince of the Dafeng Kingdom, so he could not believe it.
"So what? Do you really think I'm afraid of you just a big wind country? I, Tianlong Kingdom, can defeat you once, and of course, it will defeat you the second and third time." Long Yin snorted coldly, glanced at Feng Chaoyang, who stood behind Feng Ling like a wooden stake. If he hadn't been there, he would have imprisoned Feng Ling next time and used him as a bargaining chip. At least, he would have to delay the war period until two years later. He was not afraid on his face, but knew in his heart that if he faced the Big Wind Kingdom at this time, the Tianlong Kingdom would have been dead for life. The Big Wind Kingdom was silent for twenty years and finally broke out, and it would be an offensive like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.
"The emperor is naturally not afraid. If Feng Ling is the emperor, he will not be afraid either. But not being afraid does not mean being undefeated. Even if Kui Shui Kingdom is still the same, Dafeng Kingdom is still determined to win this time. You Tianlong Kingdom enjoy all peace and harmony. Although you have sufficient soldiers and enough food, only a few of these soldiers are truly dedicated to protecting the country and the family are mostly just to make a living or forced to conquer them. And my Dafeng Kingdom... They have suffered from generation to generation, how can they let their descendants continue to suffer like this? For the health of their descendants, they are no longer afraid of life and death. When they go to the battlefield, they don't know what "fear" and "retreat". Do you know that my Dafeng Kingdom never needs to recruit soldiers, and they take the initiative to join the army every year and step through the gates of the military departments in various places. Although the Tianlong Kingdom is very capable, how can they compare with these brave and brave men who are not afraid of death!" Feng Ling shouted enthusiastically and confidently.
"It's ridiculous. Those who want to destroy others' homes for their own selfish desires are called righteous people by you. In Dafeng Country, can a poor man be open and righteous, rob a wealthy family with 'righteousness', and kill his whole family by the way? Such a barbaric country is worthy of being called righteous! You only see the prosperity of my Tianlong Kingdom, but don't know how many generations and efforts of my Tianlong Kingdom have been today. You Dafeng Country is not enterprising, you will only complain about yourself, and then seize other people's homes, and are also given the title of 'Yiwang Country'. Humph, what's the difference between this and a group of robbers? You Dafeng Country, please change your name to the Robber Country."
It was still Ye Wei who mocked Dafeng Kingdom without showing any weakness.
"General Ye is right. The Kingdom of Dafeng is a group of robbers with ambition. Because of these bandits, the Tianchen Continent has been filled with wolf smoke and blood flowing into a river several times, but they never know how to restrain themselves. They are not ashamed, but rather proud. I am the Kingdom of Tianlong, how could I be afraid of you, a robber country that is despised by others!" Zhuge stood up and shouted without intention.
Feng Ling looked at Ye Wei with complicated eyes, suddenly sighed, and said lonely: "Bandits... Although my Dafeng people were forced by unbearable disasters and diseases, repeated offending to other countries was indeed the act of robbers. For my father, unifying the world and becoming the only king was his lifelong wish. But all this was not what Feng Ling wanted. Feng Ling, like everyone, did not want to see any war happen."
"Is that so? Why don't Prince Feng go back and dissuade your father? Why do you have to travel thousands of miles to persuade me to surrender to me? It's not me who wants to start the war, but your father Feng Lie, Humph!" Long Yin looked at him coldly, and at the same time he issued the order to expel the guest without hesitation.
"Since that's the case... If the emperor believed in Feng Ling, Feng Ling would do his best to persuade his father to delay the war until five years later, what about?"
His sudden change caught Long Yin and the ministers off guard. Even Feng Chaoyang's eyebrows behind him jumped slightly. Long Yin frowned and asked, "What does Prince Feng mean?"
"As Feng Ling said, Feng Ling didn't want to see the blood flowing into a river of Tianlong Kingdom because of my strong wind Kingdom. This is one. The second..." He paused, his expression also eased, and at the same time he glanced at Ye Wei, who had a stiff face. His slight movement fell into Long Yin's eyes, which made him suspicious. "Does the emperor believe that there is a beauty in this world who is willing to let a person give up his country?"
Long Yin was stunned. Feng Ling did not wait for his answer and continued, "I didn't believe it at first. Until today, I completely believed it. When a woman who could really touch the heartstrings appeared, he would understand the true meaning of "loving beauty but not the country". When I saw that woman today, I kept thinking in my heart, and finally found out... For her, I even wanted to even not even have the status of the prince of the Dafeng Kingdom. Can such a woman be called a beauty in trouble?"
"I came here this time, and I would have handed the letter from my father to the emperor in two days according to the instructions of my father. The emperor has read it. It was written by my father himself, and it was built as the jade seal of my royal family, and it cannot be faked." Seeing Long Yin nodding slightly, Feng Ling continued, "But for the sake of the woman who moved me, I am willing to disobey my father's orders..." He said with a serious look on his face and firmly: "As long as the emperor is willing to order that woman betrothed to me, I will immediately return to the country to stop my father and exchange for five years of peace and preparation time for the Tianlong Kingdom. Can the emperor agree to this transaction?"
All the ministers were stunned and whispered. A woman in exchange for the precarious Five Years of Tianlong Kingdom peace and preparation, this transaction was extremely cost-effective for Tianlong Kingdom. However, it was the daughter of that family that could make this prince of the Great Wind Kingdom so much.
Long Yin was silent for a while. He was sure that the letter of war was indeed written by Feng Lie. The difficulty of the dragon can be said to be imminent. Feng Lie also exudes a sense of arrogance and impatientness between the lines. However, Feng Ling is willing to delay the war for five years for a woman... Five years is too important to the Tianlong Kingdom. In these five years, they can fully deploy and explore the virtuality and reality of the Qingkui Water Kingdom, and the Dafeng Kingdom will lose all the opportunities. Feng Ling put forward such conditions, which shows that the woman must have an extraordinary identity and deserves such conditions. Who is the woman he mentioned?
The place he went today... was it her? No wonder he looked a little weird when he looked at Ye Wei. It turned out that this was the reason.
"How do I believe you? Five years, Feng Lie wishes he could not unify the world tomorrow. How many five years would he have to live? Even if you really have this intention, even if it is his son, he may not be able to calm him down for five years." Long Yin already knew in his heart and did not ask who the woman was.
"I said, I am not a person who likes to lie. If there is a silence today, my Feng family will always be your slave to the Long family. The father... will definitely agree. I have my own way to make my father agree. If the emperor is willing to believe, I will definitely abide by what he says. If the emperor does not believe it," Feng Ling's eyes swayed firmness and fanaticism: "I will also let her belong to me by any means!"
