A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1520 Sadness, loss of fighting spirit

“Knock…knock…knock”

Inside the room, the only sound was the Ninth Prince tapping on the table.

After a long while, the Ninth Uncle stopped, his lips slightly raised, and he said firmly: "Qingchen, the Second Elder's suicide was definitely not to stop you from investigating further. He must have known something, but couldn't say it, so he had to use his death to remind you or warn those people."

"Is it related to my father's death?" Feng Qingchen also thought of what the Ninth Prince thought of, but the more he thought about it, the sadder he felt.

She couldn't help but ask herself whether it was right or wrong to come to the Fengli tribe. If she hadn't appeared, would the Fengli tribe still be harmonious?

"Maybe it's not just this one thing, or it may be something deeper, such as the Fengli people colluding with the Beiling royal family." If it was just this one thing, the Second Elder wouldn't need to use death as a reminder.

The Fengli clan was rotten from the root. The second elder used his life to buy Feng Qingchen a chance to eradicate the cancer of the Fengli clan.

"The Fengli clan is such a mess." Feng Qingchen closed his eyes and said sarcastically, "I think I understand why the second elder wanted to die."

"Now that we know, let's just clear them out and clean them up. The Fengli clan still has many talented people. No matter Feng Lirong, Feng Lizhi, or Feng Liyou, they are not simple characters." With dozens of generations of accumulation, the education of the Fengli clan's descendants is no worse than that of the royal family. Most importantly, the Fengli people are good at fighting and have the talent to lead troops.

Such a person, no matter which country he is in, is a great general who can defend a region. If it weren't for his outstanding talent, how could Feng Zhan, as a commoner, gain a foothold in the army and quickly climb to the position of general.

It would be a blessing for any emperor to have such a general. You must know that the world can only be conquered by force in the end, and military power is extremely important at all times.

"Are you interested in them?" Feng Qingchen understood the Ninth Prince's thoughts. She was also a person who valued talent.

The Ninth Prince nodded without hesitation: "If they can be used by me, I will dare to take action within three years at most."

What to do? Of course, to seize the world.

"Three years? What can you give to the Fengli clan?" Feng Qingchen began to calculate the benefits of cooperating with the Ninth Prince.

Even if she didn't serve the Fengli clan, she would still fight for territory for her son.

"Same as the previous dynasty." The Ninth Prince promised without hesitation. At this moment, the two of them were doing their business.

"No." Feng Qingchen shook his head without thinking. The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows: "Too little?"

"No, it's too much. It's not a good thing to be too successful and have a large army under control. The demise of the previous dynasty is a lesson for us." She didn't want her son to be hated by the emperor.

It's okay for one or two generations, but it will be troublesome over time.

"This is the first time I've seen someone who thinks power is too great." The Ninth Prince chuckled and said, "Qingchen, we don't need to worry about the affairs of future generations. We just need to take care of ourselves."

“If we can make arrangements, we will naturally try our best to make them. My requirements are not high at all. If that day really comes, I will just give the Fengli clan the title of a king of a different surname. As for military power... of course I want it, but it cannot be like the previous dynasty, where we were in charge of more than half of the country’s military power. One fifth of the military power is enough.” How great it is to be able to protect oneself without threatening the throne.

As for whether this would make the emperor suspicious, that was not something she could worry about. After all, she could not control what future generations would think.

"You are not greedy." The Ninth Prince agreed with this.

The two people's joking words determined the future division of power in the Kyushu continent. If other people knew about it, they would probably be so shocked that their eyes would fall out.

However, the two did not discuss in detail, but just said a few words and stopped.

After a short rest, Feng Qingchen got up and washed up. Before leaving, he specifically asked the Ninth Uncle, "When will your Black Cavalry arrive?"

"Two days later." The Ninth Prince did not hide it from Feng Qingchen when he called upon the Black Cavalry.

Feng Qingchen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Let the Black Cavalry cut off the food and grass of the Beiling soldiers. Should that be possible?"

"No problem." The Ninth Prince has absolute confidence in the Black Cavalry.

Feng Qingchen received the answer and left satisfied.

The Ninth Prince looked at Feng Qingchen's departing back and chuckled...

Qingchen finally learned to consider gains and losses from the perspective of interests, which is a good thing.

Feng Qingchen found the first elder, the fifth elder and Feng Liyou, and under the protection of the eighteen riders, secretly walked behind the snow peak.

The First Elder and the Fifth Elder were both smart people. Seeing how cautious Feng Qingchen was in her actions, they knew that she did not trust others.

It is definitely not a good sign that Feng Li's eldest daughter does not trust her clan members. However, they cannot say anything bad about Feng Qingchen because there are indeed people in the clan who cannot be trusted.

It is easy to deal with smart people. Feng Qingchen was very satisfied with the performance of Feng Liyou and the other two, and brought them all the way to the Ice Peak Abyss.

On the other side of the abyss is another ice peak. This hundred-meter-wide abyss separates the two ice peaks, just like the forbidden area between wolves.

Standing beside the abyss, Feng Qingchen pointed at the snow-capped peak opposite and said, "Great Elder, see? Just walk over here and climb over the iceberg opposite, and the land behind will no longer be covered in ice and snow."

The ancestors of the Fengli tribe had been rampant on the Kyushu continent for hundreds of years. How could they choose a place that could not be self-sufficient and could only rely on their old capital as a place of seclusion for their descendants? They chose a real paradise for the Fengli tribe, but unfortunately...

After the Fengli people lived in seclusion here, they did not explore any further. They just stayed on their small piece of land and lived off the capital left by their ancestors.

Fortunately, the Fengli clan was wealthy and left behind a lot of things, otherwise these people would have starved to death in the snow.

Following Feng Qingchen's hand, it was still white. The first and fifth elders were confused and looked at Feng Qingchen with suspicion: "Miss, let's not talk about what is behind the iceberg on the opposite side. Just talking about this abyss, we can't get through it."

Even if there is a treasure mountain opposite them, they have no way to take it.

"Great Elder, do you know that there is an abyss between the Wolf Clan's Forbidden Land and the Wolf Forbidden Land? But the Wolf Clan members can let those who break into the forbidden land pass through. Why can't I, the Fengli Clan members, do it?" Feng Qingchen was a little sad.

Has so many years of secluded life worn away the fighting spirit of the Fengli people?

"Miss, what you mean is that we build a bridge across the two ice peaks and let our tribesmen retreat to the other side?" Feng Liyou saw that Feng Qingchen was unhappy and quickly interrupted.

Feng Qingchen nodded: "We can't live here anymore. Beiling's army of 100,000 is invading. Let alone we can't defeat them, even if we can win, what about next time? The next time they come may be the coalition of four countries. Can we still win then? This place has been discovered. If we stay here, we will die. We must leave, and this is our only way out."

However, before leaving, we must find out the spies in the tribe, otherwise no matter how hard they hide, they will be discovered.

"I understand. Please rest assured, Miss. I will find a way to build a bridge between these two ice peaks before tomorrow so that the tribesmen can pass through." People are forced to do things. At the moment of life and death, the great elder finally stopped saying that this was impossible.

However, this is not what Feng Qingchen wants the Great Elder to do.

Feng Qingchen said, "Grand Elder, don't worry about the bridge. They can do it. Grand Elder, you don't have to deal with these trivial matters. I have something more important to tell you."

"Please give your orders, young lady." The great elder finally showed his proper attitude, respecting Feng Qingchen as if he were King Feng Li...
