Chapter 276: Chapter 143: Feng Wuyi, the First of the Sub-sect, Seeking Survival from Death_3
But he was stopped by Nangong Ming.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
Within this month, after experiencing a period of peace, many forces within the Da Feng Dynasty
once again, erupted into a grand melee.
And if one were to talk about the origin of this melee,
one must mention Feng Wuyi, who presided over Qingcheng Prefecture, controlled the lands of sixteen counties,
and held in his hands half of the entire Da Feng Dynasty’s grain and salt production.
Previously, when the Luo Family and the Guan Family jointly attacked Qingqu County’s Liang Family,
the Da Feng Dynasty’s Third Prince, Feng Wuyi, had the opportunity to make a move.
However, due to Feng Wuyi’s excessive greed,
believing he had the Liang Family of Qingqu County completely under his thumb,
he consequently led his side to miss the best opportunity for expansion.
As time went by, as the Guan Family and the Luo Family within Luo Mountain Prefecture gradually grew stronger,
Feng Wuyi of Qingcheng Prefecture, grew increasingly impatient.
Feng Wuyi’s Qingcheng Prefecture to the front, left, and right, respectively, was flanked by the New Emperor Feng Wumian, who occupied the lands of two prefectures, the Second Prince Feng Wuhen, who controlled the lands of Changqing Prefecture, and Lin’an Prefecture that maintained a neutral stance.
These three forces, Feng Wuyi could not afford to provoke.
Therefore, if Feng Wuyi wanted to expand,
his only target was the Luo Family and the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture below.
As time gradually passed, the Guan Family and Luo Family within Luo Mountain Prefecture grew even stronger.
This made the already precarious situation of Feng Wuyi
even more intolerable.
For now it was still manageable, but if the Luo Family and Guan Family continue to grow stronger,
wouldn’t Feng Wuyi’s Qingcheng Prefecture become truly a dead zone?
Therefore, it wasn’t that Feng Wuyi did not want to quietly develop for a while,
but he had to forcefully disrupt the tranquility within the Da Feng Dynasty.
He had to continue muddying the waters of the vast Da Feng Dynasty.
Only by further stirring up the waters within the Da Feng Dynasty
could Feng Wuyi find some chance of survival.
…
Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was,
Luo Ping was currently standing with Lu Jun by his side, silently in front of a huge map made of special animal skin.
The two seemed to be discussing something.
“Now, in Qingcheng Prefecture, Feng Wuyi’s side is mobilizing a million armored elites, constantly pressing towards Luo Mountain Prefecture.”
“Lu Family Head, what do you think is the intention of Qingcheng Prefecture?”
“Do they want to declare war on our Luo Family and the Guan Family together?”
Luo Ping asked in a low voice.
After all, within Luo Mountain Prefecture,
half belonged to Luo, half to Guan.
Now, Qingcheng Prefecture has mobilized a full million armored elites, continuously advancing this way.
Even if Qingcheng Prefecture did not intend to provoke the Luo Family and Guan Family at the same time,
under such circumstances, it seems they had no choice but to provoke both Luo and Guan families of Luo Mountain Prefecture at once.
“Perhaps Qingcheng Prefecture is trying to seek life in the face of death…”
Lu Jun said softly.
Luo Ping slightly narrowed his eyes and asked softly, “What do you mean by that?”
Lu Jun looked at the map, at the place of Qingcheng Prefecture that seemed destined to be a dead land, and calmly answered, “The geographical position of Qingcheng Prefecture is very poor. The New Emperor Feng Wumian of the Da Feng Dynasty, Second Prince Feng Wuhen, and a neutral prefecture city, are now like a large net, tightly ensnaring the land of Qingcheng Prefecture.”
“Our Luo Mountain Prefecture is the only way out for Feng Wuyi’s Qingcheng Prefecture.”
“Previously, the matter of the Liang Family in Qingqu County,”
“Qingcheng Prefecture already missed an opportunity for outward expansion.”
“Now, our Luo Family and the Guan Family are rapidly growing and strengthening.”
“If Qingcheng Prefecture does not choose to act now, its lands will completely become a death zone.”
“Even if inside Qingcheng Prefecture, the grain yield is high and the salt production plentiful, it will be of no use.”
Hearing these words, Luo Ping nodded silently: “If that is the case, it seems Qingcheng Prefecture is trying to find a thread of life in a dead end situation. The enemy we now face is not like the initial opponents such as the Liang Family in Qingqu County and the Chen Family and Huang Family in Changping Prefecture…”
…
Deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Land, in a mysterious courtyard,
Luo Changfeng was sitting quietly under a stone pavilion.
He held a cup of hot tea in one hand while silently watching Fu Qiu and Zhong Mudao, who stood before him.
“Brother Luo, the results are out.”
“Our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect has now taken the first seat among the sub-sects in the Da Feng Dynasty.”
“The Changqing Prefecture Sub-sect is only in second place,” said Fu Qiu, the Deputy Sect Master of Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, with an excited tone.
His face, full of wrinkles, seemed almost to be blossoming into a chrysanthemum with his smile.
And Zhong Mudao, dressed in black clothing and a black hat, beside Fu Qiu,
also showcased an uncommon ease in his demeanor and said with a touch of urgency, “Brother Luo, I think the thirteen subdivisions in the Da Feng Dynasty are somewhat excessive. Wouldn’t it be better if my Zijin Prefecture Sub-sect just merged into the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect?”
“As for the position, I do not ask for much,”
“just a title of elder would suffice.”
Hearing these words, Fu Qiu pondered for a moment, and also silently nodded: “Brother Luo, Brother Zhong is right, indeed for a single dynasty, to be divided into thirteen sub-sects, the number is perhaps too much…”
After Fu Qiu and Zhong Mudao finished speaking all they intended,
