Chapter 155: The Big Gamble
Death warrior!
What is a death soldier?
That is someone who would rather commit suicide than betray his master.
At the same time, he is also a ruthless person who would rather risk his life to complete the mission of his master.
In this era, which family with some wealth and background would not have a few death warriors?
At critical moments, these people can save lives.
Although death warriors are good, it is extremely difficult to train them.
To put it bluntly, if you want someone to sacrifice his life with dignity, he must pay the price of his life in advance.
Whether it is treating the other party's wife, children and the elderly well, or helping to take revenge, it can be said that every assassin is produced with huge amounts of resources.
It can be used to save lives at critical moments. It is something that cannot be avoided and has no other choice but to do so.
Of course you should use it when necessary.
But if we follow Feng Jie's method, does it mean that we have to send out assassins just to ruin Ying Yuan's reputation?
Who the hell would like this?
That's right!
The death squad can indeed ensure that their own family will not be implicated.
Even if they were attacked by swords and axes, these warriors would grit their teeth and not reveal a single word.
But the Death Warriors are the real family foundation of these people.
They worked so hard to raise them, and this is how they end up using them?
Doesn't this mean killing one thousand enemies and losing twelve thousand of your own?
For a time, all the nobles complained bitterly.
"Master Feng, do you have any other plans? This method...is too costly!"
"That's right, Lord Feng. My clan has been raising assassins for many years, but now there are less than a hundred of them who can be used. If one of them is killed or injured, it will be a huge loss!"
"Humph, you have less than a hundred people in your family and you're still complaining? My family has barely ten people! I don't even know how to start talking!"
"..."
It can be said that this matter really hit the vital points of all the nobles.
As for money and other things, you can still find a way to get it back from other places.
But to be a death warrior, you really not only need money but also a lot of time.
Therefore, these nobles had no right to shout.
They really feel sad.
Feng Jie looked at everyone complaining coldly for a long time before he spoke up and scolded them.
"fool!"
"Just now you were still saying that the common people were short-sighted. Now look at you, what is the difference between you and the common people?"
The ridicule and disappointment in Feng Jie's tone were evident.
"Of course, this strategy of mine will cost you a lot of your warriors, but have you ever thought about what you will get?"
"You all know that if this strategy is implemented, Ying Yuan will definitely suffer a heavy loss!"
"Even if he is not imprisoned and severely punished, at least he will definitely lose his position as regent, and there will be no possibility of him becoming crown prince!"
"As the saying goes, when a person dies, politics ceases. Ying Yuan is no longer the regent, so won't the salt and iron monopoly become a dead letter?"
"Then why not let's resume our previous business?"
"By then, the salt business will be back in my hands, and with the paper, how can we worry about money anymore?"
"Of course, we value our warriors, but if we have countless wealth and are as rich as a country, then even if every family trains a few hundred warriors, what good will that do?"
"But the premise of all this is that we are willing to risk our lives and invest!"
"I dared to go to court and impeach Ying Yuan directly to His Majesty, and even risked the Feng family's wealth just to disrupt Ying Yuan's reputation."
"What about Ke Er?"
"Could it be that you think you can just sit back and watch our Feng family fight and you can eat meat?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be a joke if you and I joined forces?"
Feng Jie's words were extremely straightforward. But it was precisely these words that made all the nobles blush.
Because this is so true.
There is no friendship or relationship to talk about at all, what we talk about is naked interests.
But it is these words that are the most hurtful.
Feng Quji sat aside and looked coldly at his son Qilin's high-spirited appearance, constantly stroking the gray beard on his chin.
Feng Jie's words were addressed not only to those nobles, but also to him, the head of the Feng family.
After listening to it, Feng Quji thought about it carefully and had to admit it.
This deal can be done!
Even though their investment is indeed huge, they are certainly not at the point of risking their lives.
It's just a loss of some family heritage.
But if you calculate the benefits, it is quite considerable.
Now, Zhao Gao's faction has been completely eliminated from the court, and the Eighteenth Prince no longer has any chance of winning the throne.
Even the fight for the throne might not even bring him any involvement in state affairs.
It would be interesting if this group of people could really bring down Ying Yuan, the currently powerful regent.
Because the only candidate left is Prince Fusu!
And Prince Fusu is known to everyone as a kind person!
Everyone likes this kind-hearted person and gentleman.
Because on the one hand, a gentleman will not be harsh on others.
On the other hand, it can be described in one sentence.
"A gentleman can be deceived by tricks"
To put it bluntly, only gentlemen are easy to fool!
When Feng Quji thought about Prince Fusu ascending the throne in the future, he felt a burning warmth in his heart.
"Jie'er, you can do whatever you want with this matter!"
"I still say that the Feng family is at your disposal!"
Looking at his old father who had already stood up, Feng Jie's eyes flashed with joy, but he bowed without showing any expression on his face.
"Thank you, father, for your consideration!"
Quicksand, Wei Zhuang...
Ying Yuan kept mumbling these two names, tapping the table thoughtfully.
In fact, this is not the first time he has come across these two names.
Since he became regent, these two names would be mentioned from time to time in the memorials and related intelligence sent to him.
It is true that the organization founded by Mr. Han Jiu has gathered many extraordinary people!
Although it is just an unknown organization, it has actually caused quite a stir.
In fact, when Ying Yuan recalled it now, he remembered that his father had once sighed about this during a casual chat.
"If the King of Han had not been so foolish and perverse, suspecting Han Fei of evil intentions and refusing to trust him, then our Great Qin would certainly have been able to destroy Han."
"But the national strength and military force required to destroy South Korea would probably be several times greater!"
From these words, we can see how terrifying Han Fei is!
This is even more true of the Quicksand he founded.
It’s just a pity that Han Fei died. Although Wei Zhuang took over the leadership, his military strength did increase.
But after all, he lacks Han Fei's vision and momentum of looking at the world.
Eventually it became a killer organization.
It’s sad to think about it!
However, no matter how much we sigh and reminisce, now that we are against the Qin Dynasty, we still have in our hands what Ying Yuan, the regent, wants.
That is Quicksand's greatest sin.
If the quicksand doesn't disappear, what's the point of keeping it?
Ying Yuan would not show weakness just because of a little emotion.
This matter must be done!
