Chapter 542: Persuading the Chief to Attack Together
Ling Yun knew very well that Su Nuan was particularly protective of young children. When she heard that so many children were taken away, she would definitely be furious.
Although he didn't know how many tricks Su Nuan had, he knew that once Su Nuan lost his mind, there would be no one left in that tribe who could breathe.
He was worried that Su Nuan might act impulsively, so he quickly grabbed her arm and comforted her, "Don't worry. If we go over there openly, we'll definitely alert the enemy. Why not sneak into the tribe and check? Maybe we can rescue any survivors."
Su Nuan listened to Ling Yun's words and felt that they made sense, so she suppressed her anger and said through gritted teeth, "I'll go by myself."
Li Fengxing frowned, his tone tinged with reproach: "Do you really think you're a goddess? Do you know how dangerous it is to rush over like this?"
He paused, then continued helplessly, "To be ruthless, I don't care whether the people in the tribe live or die. I only care whether you are in danger."
Su Nuan pursed her lips and looked at Li Fengxing with a complicated expression. Although the tone was clearly a lecture, she felt an inexplicable sense of comfort when listening to it.
Ling Yun also agreed: "That's right, you can't take the risk. Besides, this is a conflict between tribes, just like a battlefield between countries."
"On a battlefield like this, it's the troops on both sides who are fighting. War is never fought by one person alone."
Su Nuan didn’t understand what was happening on the battlefield, but what both of them said made sense, which made her feel that her impulsiveness just now was indeed like that of an ignorant fool.
In order to avoid further blame, Su Nuan decided to change the subject.
She asked weakly, "Then... tell me what to do next."
Li Fengxing and Ling Yun looked at each other. It was rare that there was no tit-for-tat between them.
Ling Yun pondered for a moment and said, "We can investigate secretly and rescue any survivors. If there are no survivors, let the chief attack the giants and we will assist."
Su Nuan frowned, feeling that this plan was not feasible: "But the chief doesn't dare to fight, right? If he did, so many children wouldn't have been abducted."
Upon hearing this, Li Fengxing revealed a foxy smile and said confidently, "Leave the persuasion to me. I will make sure they agree to an all-out attack."
Su Nuan looked at Li Fengxing's confident look, although she still had some doubts in her heart.
At this moment she felt like a warrior, rough and reckless.
It turns out that those who have never actually been on the battlefield are just talking about war on paper.
She nodded and said, "Okay, then follow your plan. But be careful. I don't want to see you get hurt."
Ling Yun nodded, with a hint of joy in his tone, "Don't worry, we will act carefully."
Li Fengxing patted Su Nuan's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "Although I am a businessman, my fighting ability is not bad either."
Su Nuan looked at Li Fengxing, glared at him, and urged him, "Why don't you go and ask about the location of the Giant Tribe? We should go and investigate as soon as possible."
Li Fengxing looked at Su Nuan's almost coquettish behavior and couldn't help laughing. He said jokingly, "As you command, my goddess."
Ling Yun stood aside, pursing his lips tightly, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He always felt that Su Nuan was very natural and relaxed when talking to anyone, but when facing him, there was always a sense of alienation, as if "she would come up to report when there was something to report, and leave when there was nothing to report."
Just as he was thinking, Su Nuan's voice came over: "If the giant tribe is far away, we can fly to a nearby place and land; if it's not far, we can just run over there. My Qinggong is good enough now, so I won't fall behind."
Ling Yun knew Su Nuan's skills. Although she had not received systematic training, she could already be ranked among the second-rate masters with her talent and hard work.
He nodded and said casually, "Okay, but I hope you won't mess around when we get there."
After hearing this, Su Nuan pouted in frustration and muttered to herself with a hint of grievance, "When have I ever done anything wrong?"
Ling Yun saw the grievance on Su Nuan's face and felt flustered. He wanted to comfort her.
But he found that the books he read seemed to have been read into other people's stomachs, and at this moment he couldn't find a suitable word.
In the end, he could only say woodenly: "I'm worried about you."
Su Nuan glanced at him sideways, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.
She knew that Ling Yun was worst at sweet talk and glibness. His concern was always straightforward and clumsy, but that also made it seem particularly sincere.
She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "I know you are doing this for my own good. Don't worry, I will be careful."
Ling Yun nodded. Although he was still a little uneasy, he felt a little relieved when he saw Su Nuan's attitude softened.
Not long after, Li Fengxing gathered all the information. "The Giant Tribe isn't too far from here. I've already convinced the chief to join us in the attack."
Su Nuan looked at him in surprise and asked, "How did you convince him?"
Li Fengxing smiled and said, "I told you to go see if you can rescue the child first. If you can, he will go with us to fight the giant tribe."
Su Nuan glanced sideways. Although she didn't want to admit it, she still had to say it, "What if we can't save him?"
Li Fengxing said confidently, "We can rescue him. The chief said the giants kidnapped the child to offer sacrifice to the gods. It's not a full moon yet, so they haven't started the sacrifice yet."
Ling Yun didn't believe his words and asked, "This isn't enough to shake the chief. What else did you say?"
Li Fengxing's smile froze, and he felt embarrassed as if his boasting had been exposed.
He went on to say, “It was just a picture of a pie, but he ate it with great relish.”
Su Nuan became interested and asked curiously, "What's the filling?"
Li Fengxing was a little amused and confused. Does a drawn pie need filling?
"We are telling the chief that the giants are the enemies of the friendly tribes nearby. If they send troops, we will help destroy the giant tribe, and then the surrounding tribes will follow his lead."
Su Nuan suddenly realized, "Sure enough, the greatest temptation is power."
Ling Yun did not refute, because Li Fengxing's words directly hit the soft spot of the superiors' desire for admiration and power.
Not only will the chief agree to send troops, he will even lead the attack personally. This is a war with no retreat.
Su Nuan didn't think too much about it, "Okay, let's get going quickly."
Fortunately, they usually dress simply, otherwise it would not be so easy to cross the jungle.
Li Fengxing took two steps towards Su Nuan and whispered, "There's still a problem."
Su Nuan looked at him in confusion, "What's the problem?"
Li Fengxing nodded and said, "If we take the flying eagle sculpture with us, it will be inconvenient to use it."
“Children from those tribes cannot understand what we are saying, which will cause panic.”
