At this time, Qian Mu must be made to understand that he should not be that kind of fool.
He is not a reckless man who can be easily controlled.
Otherwise, if Liu Feng continues in his current situation, he will just be a chess piece between Linghu Zheng and Qian Mu.
He hated being a chess piece and had to jump off the chessboard and become the chess player himself.
But when it comes to Qian Mu, Liu Feng wants equality.
An ally who can stand on equal terms.
"General Liu, don't you think you've gone too far?"
Qian Mu's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" (Chuan).
In his eyes, he was wrong, and that was correct.
But Liu Feng was the leader of the Tiger Roar Army and an official who was not in the imperial court. When he proposed conditions to him, he felt that Liu Feng was not worthy.
It takes strength to make him pay the price.
Isn’t it just that he has more than a thousand tiger-roaring horses under his command?
What's so great about that? He is the commander of Dasan Pass, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, and a third-rank general of Wuwei in the imperial court. Why should Liu Feng make him pay the price?
"General Qian, am I being too much of a bully, or are you too self-righteous to look down on my Tiger Roar Army?"
"Do you think you're so great just because you have 30,000 elite soldiers under your command and some farming troops?"
"Do you think your tens of thousands of men are more powerful, or the 50,000 northern barbarian troops that besieged Tianyong City?"
"I admit, if you insist on defending Dasan Pass, I might not be able to do anything."
"But what if you come out of seclusion? Hehe..."
"The Black Tortoise Armor is a warning to your army of tens of thousands."
Qian Mu's pupils shrank.
There was a flash of disbelief in his eyes. Could it be that something happened to the Black Tortoise Armor?
Only then did he remember that Liu Feng was the one who went to suppress the bandits with Xuanwu Jia, so where did Xuanwu Jia go?
"What happened to Xuanwu Jia?"
"It's simple. We were blocked by those bandits on the chasm. One by one, we were either shot to death or fell into the abyss."
"At that time, I fought desperately to break out of the encirclement, and originally wanted to come to your Dasan Pass for help."
"But on the way, I met the assassin you sent."
"But there's no need for rescue now. The Black Tortoise Armor sent out 800 soldiers, including a fourth-rank general, Xiong Yan. I'm afraid they've all been killed."
Liu Feng sneered.
Liu Feng described the matter of the Black Tortoise Armor in a very simple way, but it gave Qian Mu two important hints.
The first one is to demonstrate his bravery. Not only was he able to escape from such a desperate situation, but he was also able to kill the assassins he sent out.
At the same time, take the example of the combat power ceiling, the Black Tortoise Armor.
Even if you, Qian Mu, sent out tens of thousands of troops to encircle your own small Siwa Village, the natural barrier is a chasm that you cannot cross. No matter how many people go, they will die.
Could it be possible that you would spend so much effort to start from Qingzhou and go to Yanzhou to destroy me?
The emperor's spies will pass the news of your military deployment to the capital in minutes. Those who know that you are going to Qingzhou to eliminate Liu Feng, while those who don't think that you are going to go straight up and besiege the capital.
The second was to spread the news that all the Xuanwu Armor soldiers had been killed. Not only did he ignore his own responsibility, but he also shifted part of the responsibility onto Qian Mu.
After all, it was you who sent the assassins to surround and kill Liu Feng who came for help.
This matter is an indisputable fact even if it is brought to the throne room.
As soon as Qian Mu thought about it, he suddenly felt a headache and sweat beads appeared on his forehead, which showed that he was really anxious.
He was not stupid, so he could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Liu Feng's words.
"how so?"
"That's impossible."
"That's the Black Tortoise Armor with unparalleled combat power."
Although he said this, he knew in his heart that the weather was extremely harsh and it had little to do with the army.
If there were no natural barrier blocking his way, he would have found a way to wipe out the Linghu family long ago.
In fact, he had once tried to lead people across the natural barrier, disguised as merchants, to attack the Linghu family.
However, crossing the natural chasm with too many people is inherently risky. If there are too few people, even if they reach Tianyong City, they will be of no use to the heavily guarded Linghu Mansion.
"Is there a spy? Otherwise, how could the bandits set up an ambush in advance?"
The only person who could have blocked the Black Tortoise Armor at the natural moat was a spy.
This is also the reason why Qian Mu did not take action against the Linghu family, because he had spies in Tianyong City, and there were also spies from the Linghu family in Dasan Pass.
This time, the entire Xuanwu Army was wiped out. Qian Mu could not think of any other possibility except that it was a spy who betrayed him.
Moreover, the spy can only appear in two places, because apart from the Xuanwu Armor itself, only the Qian family and the Linghu family know about this matter.
If this matter was set up by the Linghu family, it would be impossible to involve Liu Feng.
After all, Liu Feng is the backup of the Linghu family and also the son-in-law of the Linghu family.
Qian Mu was completely dumbfounded.
"General Qian, we need to thoroughly investigate the people in this mansion."
"The bandits were originally located near Dasan Pass, and their numbers were huge. Not only did you, General Qian, fail to discover them, but you also caused the entire Xuanwu Armor Army to be annihilated while helping to suppress the bandits."
"If this gets reported by someone with ulterior motives, or if it gets known by your Majesty's spies, the consequences will be, General Qian knows better than I do."
"As for General Linghu, I will report to him after I return."
"However, your Black Tortoise Armor suffered such a heavy loss this time that it will surely reach His Majesty's ears."
"Neither you nor General Linghu can escape this punishment."
Liu Feng sneered and then waved the knife in his hand.
"General Qian, have you thought about the price you're going to pay?"
Qian Mu is now on the verge of collapse. He never imagined that a small bandit suppression would end up alarming the emperor.
