Chapter 431: Concealment and Development
Wei Zhuang said coldly: "The Great Zhou is now in imminent peril, with the smoke of war rising everywhere."
In the south, Huangyun Dao and Nanlongdao are suffering from constant droughts and locust plagues.
In the east, the rebels of the Red Lotus Sect have taken advantage of the situation to rise; Dongyudao and Tonglu Dao have already become their base, and they are currently continuing to Expand toward the south.
In the west, floods in Xihuadao and Mingzangdao have submerged vast tracts of fertile land, and refugees are everywhere.
Only in the north, suppressed by the Didu, is there a gathering of talent, with Beihuodao and Zhaoquedao obediently bowing their heads.
Along the borders on all sides, foreign nations are watching, sharpening their blades.
The Great Zhou already shows signs of a fallen state, though for now, everyone is watching the methods of the Didu.
If it cannot withstand this tribulation,
then the struggle for the throne will become a foregone conclusion."
Hearing this detailed and heavy analysis of the situation from Wei Zhuang, Cheng Feng felt as if a stormy sea had been churned up in his heart.
Although he had heard rumors while in Heimu Prefecture, those were merely fragmented and vague pieces of information.
Now, hearing it stated clearly and firmly from Wei Zhuang's mouth, he truly felt the precarious crisis of the Great Zhou,
like a giant tower on the verge of collapse, ready to turn into ruins at any moment.
In his past life, he was just an Ordinary person, not even a minor leader in a company.
How could he participate in such major affairs of state?
Now that he had encountered this, he was the tallest one among them.
He bore the life and death of many families on his shoulders.
Seeing Cheng Feng silent, Wei Zhuang pressed: "Now it all depends on how you choose."
Cheng Feng looked at Wei Zhuang; the other party came from the Guiguzi school, a disciple of Guiguzi.
Even in the conflicts of the Warring States period, they were figures of note.
If not for his Panmian, he feared he would never have met such a talent in his entire life.
"Do you have any good plans?"
There was not the slightest ripple on Wei Zhuang's cold, stern face as he continued: "Now that the world is in chaos, it is precisely the time for heroes to emerge. Why not take this opportunity to carve out a name for yourself in this troubled era?"
Cheng Feng was slightly startled, then fell into deep thought.
He recalled everything he had experienced since transmigrating, from the founding of the Hong Sect to the various dilemmas he faced now.
With the Great Zhou now in danger and various factions stirring, if he could rise in this chaotic world, perhaps he could truly change the landscape of the world.
"Brother Wei Zhuang, although I have the heart to achieve something in this chaotic world, the Hong Sect is still weak, and facing various powerful enemies, I am truly feeling inadequate. Not to mention the limitations of Martial Dao experts and techniques." Cheng Feng frowned, laying out his concerns completely.
If the other side were to launch a decapitation strike,
and directly take Cheng Feng out of the game,
that would be a joke.
Wei Zhuang sneered and said: "Brother Cheng, in this chaotic world, which faction did not develop step by step from a weak beginning? The Red Lotus Sect was initially just a group of rabble, yet now they occupy Dongyudao and Tonglu Dao and continue to Expand. The key lies in you, and how you think."
Cheng Feng's heart stirred; Wei Zhuang's words were like a lamp, illuminating the confused area in his heart.
As long as he led the people of the Hong Sect to work together, it was not impossible to gain a foothold in this chaotic world.
Not to mention he still had his own talent.
Procreate.
He must procreate fiercely.
"Brother Wei Zhuang, in your opinion, how should my Hong Sect act at this moment?" Cheng Feng looked at Wei Zhuang with burning eyes, expecting him to provide valuable advice.
Wei Zhuang crossed his arms and said slowly: "The Great Zhou's borders are unstable, foreign nations are eyeing it like tigers, and within the country, there are constant famines and refugees rising everywhere.
The Hong Sect can first gather refugees to expand its strength. Most of these refugees have nowhere else to go; as long as you give them a bite to eat and a place to settle, they will inevitably follow you with absolute loyalty.
Just like the current Hong Sect."
Cheng Feng nodded slightly; what Wei Zhuang said was not without reason.
"Furthermore, when you strengthen yourself and occupy a high position, you can advance or retreat at will.
Even if you do not want to participate in the fighting in the end, being granted amnesty by the Imperial Court is also a good choice.
It is just that the grasp of the timing depends on the situation."
"The north is relatively stable now, and the Didu is also looking for opportunities to stabilize the situation.
If you can form an alliance with the Didu, the Hong Sect can use the power of the Didu to obtain more resources and support in this chaotic world," Wei Zhuang continued.
"The disadvantage is that there is no one to provide an introduction right now."
Cheng Feng pondered to himself; forming an alliance with the Didu was indeed a good choice. But the Imperial Court had always been arrogant and might not easily cooperate with a faction like his.
However, with the Great Zhou in such imminent danger, the Didu might lower its status to seek help from all sides.
As for an introduction, a beautiful figure flashed through Cheng Feng's mind.
Perhaps, she was a good choice??
Cheng Feng cupped his hands and said: "Brother Wei Zhuang, thank you for clearing my doubts; I already have a train of thought now.
I will think it over before deciding on the path ahead."
Wei Zhuang remained cold and aloof, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he reminded: "Sometimes, if you do not fight, others will fight, and they may even think your lack of fighting is cowardice or weakness."
He was loyal to him,
but that did not mean he was content with loneliness.
Through countless contacts, he could be certain that Cheng Feng was not a person content with loneliness either.
No matter, taking it slow would suffice.
Besides the great trends of the world, Martial Dao was also a good pastime.
Not to mention, were there not also rumors of cultivators?
Take it slow; for now, there is plenty of time.
Cheng Feng nodded; he understood the logic.
But to actually get hands-on and decide the fate of so many people,
it really is,
just a little bit blood-boiling!!!
"What about the Martial Dao experts?"
"We are currently weak, so perhaps we can first choose a large and established family to cooperate with.
The reward would be Martial Dao techniques.
Rest assured, in these chaotic times, there will be people willing to pay the price.
Moreover, there are no shortage of noble families that were once glorious but have since fallen on hard times.
We just need to wait for the right opportunity."
Hearing Wei Zhuang speak with such confidence,
Cheng Feng was even more moved.
To wake up wielding the power of the world,
to fall asleep lying on the knees of a beauty.
Which man does not dream of such things?
No wonder chaotic times produce heroes.
This sense of participation and this ambition,
can truly burn a person to ashes without regret.
After thinking it over quickly,
Cheng Feng told Wei Zhuang about the matter regarding Wang Ji.
Wei Zhuang laughed: "Resembles someone?
Are you planning to use a honey trap?"
Cheng Feng lifted his head slightly: "I think I look alright."
The advancement of Martial Dao has made Cheng Feng's physique strong and lean.
The founding of the Hong Sect has made Cheng Feng's temperament suddenly become domineering.
Added to a face that was already quite handsome,
it would not be an exaggeration to call him a peerless young master.
"Actually, I originally wanted to say that the Heimu Family of Heimu Prefecture has plans for a marriage alliance recently.
You chose a higher difficulty one, so let this one serve as a backup."
Cheng Feng was speechless.
Was he really planning a honey trap?
No,
wait a second.
Are you paying that much attention?
This isn't for me to look at, is it!!!
