Chapter 650: Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, Yue Fei’s Savior Star
That for the players was a great boon.
Jiang Dali had this plan well before the task began.
It was impossible to let players freely pick up a large amount of loot in No God Absolute Palace.
Even though most of the loot was worthless to him, he was too lazy to take it away, but he couldn't allow it to be wasted freely.
Especially some treasures that were "extremely precious" to players, such as First-class Weapons or third-grade named weapons.
Allowing these treasures to flow in large quantities into the hands of Ying Country players would cause their overall strength to significantly surpass that of players from other countries, creating an imbalance.
Jiang Dali would naturally not allow this to happen.
Don't be fooled by him giving many benefits to players, especially the expert players within the Mountain Village, almost all of whom he personally trained.
But the speed of this cultivation is still within his controllable range.
If cultivated too much, and players grow too quickly, given their nature, they would soon go out of control, and that's the terrifying moment when the chives start to revolt and counter-harvest.
Now, after his manipulation.
If players want to take the loot, they must first become Eight Desolate Disciples, then obediently give up Cultivation Points and Potential Points to learn Martial Arts from him, willingly being harvested.
In the future, wanting to gain more benefits will also require this.
...
Just as Jiang Dali was happily harvesting the chives.
The news of Jue Wushen dying at the hand of the Black Wind Village Chief also began to rapidly spread with the Martial World people's departure from No God Absolute Palace.
And the Abnormal People are naturally the fastest to spread the news.
As a result, before the night passed, the Song State Government and some informed major forces already knew about the good news happening in Ying Country.
The Song Country Martial World was suddenly shaken.
Many martial arts sects that suffered greatly from the experts of No God Absolute Palace during previous wars couldn't help but cheer and celebrate.
Only feeling that the Black Wind Village Chief had performed such a grand feat, even more gratifying than previously forcing General Jing Shen to death and burning enemy grain.
Within Xiangyang City.
In the meeting hall, Yue Fei's laughter almost shook the tiles, and while laughing, this sturdy middle-aged man, seen by soldiers as the earth-and-sky-standing good man, unexpectedly had tiger-like eyes filled with tears, laughing to the point of tears.
"General!"
Xiao Qiushui, moved by emotions, stepped forward.
Yue Fei's voice, tinged with laughter and hoarse, slapped the table, "Qiushui, I, Yue Fei truly need to thank you, thank you for recommending Master Jiang to me.
Now that Jue Wushen is dead, the threat from Ying Country will be thoroughly eliminated, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, I may not get to meet this Master Jiang and drink heartily with him! This will be Yue Fei's lifelong regret!"
"General, why do you say this!?"
Xiao Qiushui immediately frowned, "General, you are...."
Yue Fei rose and turned to look at the map on the table, speaking with tragic valor, "A man born in troubled times should wield a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled merit. Now unfulfilled, how can I die? Alas, alas...
Alas, my Yue Fei is harmed by the slanderous words of flatterers, resulting in nine golden tokens being issued, despite a thousand ambitions and ten thousand passions, how can they resist an imperial command!"
"General!"
Xiao Qiushui, with righteous indignation, clasped his fists, "Regardless of the imperial command, Qiushui knows well your generosity and righteousness, pledging to follow you to the death, killing all enemies, willing to face death unyieldingly!"
Yue Fei, moved, stepped forward, tears flowing, embraced Xiao Qiushui's arms, laughing heartily, "Good brother! Good brother! With you as a good brother, it surpasses a thousand armies."
Xiao Qiushui shook his head, moved, and laughed, "If my life could be exchanged for a thousand armies for you, I would gladly exchange it."
A pause in words, Xiao Qiushui spoke solemnly, "General, now that we have defied orders, the camp's morale is unstable, what are your plans, why not speak them, if you have none, I have long had a suggestion."
"Oh?" Yue Fei was slightly surprised, raised a hand, "Brother, please speak!"
Xiao Qiushui turned to look at Dongfang Mingyue, "Now Master Jiang has achieved unparalleled feats, with his speed, he will soon return to Song Country for titles.
With the influence Master Jiang has built in Song Country, alongside his personal reputation and strength.
If he could plead with the Emperor, your disobedience might be forgiven..."
"Brother!"
Yue Fei sighed, wanting to say something, but shook his head.
Doesn't he know it himself?
But given his character, now guilty, he is eager to have no connection with Jiang Dali, preventing influence on this hero he deeply admires, let alone asking for favor.
Moreover, now, he's concerned not about his trivial life, but about expelling Jin and Liao armies and restoring Song Country's great rivers and mountains!
Xiao Qiushui saw Yue Fei's expression and knew his thoughts, laughing boldly, "It seems the General still wants to drive away Jin and Liao armies, recover the mountains, actually this might be possible.
But first, we must survive, and then persuade the Emperor to change his mind and continue to use you!"
Yue Fei frowned, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Xiao Qiushui, "With Master Jiang's ability, he alone already forced Ying Country's plan to deploy troops against Song Country to fail, this will surely spread quickly, and Jin and Liao countries will certainly become aware, naturally guarding against Master Jiang.
Conversely, Song Country soldiers will be greatly boosted by his deeds.
Even the Emperor will surely be overjoyed, confidence greatly increased.
In such an inspiring situation, even if there are some spineless flatterers trying to advise peace with Jin and Liao, the Emperor might not really want to negotiate peace so quickly.
If my prediction is correct, upon hearing this good news, the Emperor must hesitantly reconsider peace talks."
Yue Fei nodded upon hearing this, "You're right, now, due to Master Jiang's ability, the Emperor is certainly confident, if Jin and Liao can be expelled, why negotiate peace?
The Emperor, believing slander and not trusting my ability, surely must trust the one just achieving unparalleled feats, Master Jiang, right?"
"Correct."
Xiao Qiushui smiled, "Once we convince Master Jiang to plead for you, absolving you of the charges.
Then ask Master Jiang to insist on expelling Jin and Liao, the Emperor might consider his opinion.
After all, he alone prevented a country as Black Wind Village Chief!!
With him and you in Song Country, none of Song Country's territory could be spared!"
Yue Fei nodded, pacing curiously, "Qiushui, how can you be sure Master Jiang would resist the sacred command and insist on expelling Jin and Liao?"
Xiao Qiushui shook his head, mocking with a smile, "It's not that I am sure Master Jiang will do this, but I am sure those in the court who view the General as a thorn will surely attack Master Jiang.
After all, in their eyes, Master Jiang is one of us, his gaining power means our gaining power.
But with Master Jiang's character, how can those flatterers speak for him?
So I speculate, if Master Jiang returns for titles, the process will surely be unrestful.
Then it is both a challenge and an opportunity for him.
With his capability, he will certainly open a new situation, making those flatterers fall behind, and also let the Emperor truly see his strength.
And once flatterers are defeated and lose power, it will be our time to rise.
