Chapter 2111 (2/2)
Since ancient times, there had been people who did not show mercy to their troops and did not control their wealth. Those who were soft-hearted would not be able to lead a good army.
If you could carve out a path of blood from the encirclement and gain power, then the vast majority of people would respect you, because that was gained through your own strength and methods. Soldiers respected the strong the most.
Whether it was the military or the political scene, they were actually linked in many ways.
However, the cruelty of a martial artist was different. Wu Zhizhong was a typical example.
At the very least, an average person would never do something like splas.h.i.+ng dirty water on their own brother to wash it away.
Perhaps Wu Zhizhong could be considered a formidable person, then his actions were understandable. However, his viciousness was vividly displayed through this series of events.
Thus, when Ji Feng asked, He Hui nodded his head without hesitation. He believed that if this storm of public opinion continued to develop, the Wu Clan would definitely be able to accomplish anything. As long as it was beneficial to them, they would definitely do it.
In the face of chaos, even the upper echelons of the Wu Clan could only agree to be ruthless.
This was what He Hui was most worried about.
”But at that time, I feel that the Wu Clan would not dare to do so!” Ji Feng muttered to himself.
”What do you mean?” He Hui asked, ”What do you think is the basis for this?”
”Because I don't think the Wu Clan has the guts to do so!” Ji Feng said in a deep voice, ”It is no longer the past and the people are no longer weak objects that can be slaughtered by others. If the Wu Clan really dares to do so, not to mention the upper echelons, even the other clans would try their best to oppose it.”
Ji Feng said in a low voice, ”You must know this better than anyone. Everyone wants to see the social unrest, so even though many forces are fighting for power and power, they rarely use the people. Except for those who have ill intentions. ”I don't believe that the Wu Family would dare to defy the heaven's will!”
”Then what if the Wu Clan really dares to do it?” He Hong frowned.
He said, ”Don't forget, even if the other families were to oppose it, the Wu family could sacrifice someone to be the scapegoat. If... ”If they were able to take advantage of this opportunity to kill us both, they might be willing to let even an arm of the Wu Clan go …”
”Heh …” Ji Feng immediately smiled.
”Don't laugh! This is not because I am arrogant, nor is it because I have high expectations for myself. You should understand that what I am saying is reasonable! ” He Hong said.
”Ugh!”
Ji Feng smiled as he nodded his head, ”I know.”
Indeed, He Hong's words made sense. To be honest, if they could kill off the important figures of the third generation of the He and Ji families, the Wu family wouldn't let this opportunity go even if they had to cut off one of their own arms.
In actuality, if they were in his shoes, they wouldn't have missed the chance to beat him.
Not to mention that He Hong was the He Clan's third generation leader, the future hope of the He Clan. If the Wu Clan could defeat him, then even if they had to pay a certain price, it would be worth it.
With He Hui's downfall, it would be very difficult for the He family to find another capable successor in the coming decades. When that happened, the He family might decline, but the Wu family could rise quickly in power and power …
However, Ji Feng only shook his head and smiled, ”The Wu Clan doesn't have that capability!”
”How can you be so sure?” He Hui asked.
”Could it be that your family will just watch helplessly as you are suppressed by the Wu Clan?” Ji Feng asked.
He Hui was instantly speechless.
Ji Feng shook his head and said solemnly: ”Brother Feng, I think you are in a mess now. First of all, according to what you said, the popular discussion is only in Beijing. We all know that the people in Beijing are most concerned about politics. As for how the citizens from other places would react to this, we do not know. It is too early to draw a conclusion now. ”How should I put it, I come from the bottom, so I should have a say in this …”
Ji Feng paused, and continued, ”Actually, for many citizens, even if they knew that someone sold out the country's interests, they would at most curse twice, because for many people, the most important thing is to earn a living. For people, national affairs are too far away from them, so a storm of public opinion like what you said is unlikely to happen!”
”And, even if we are wrong, if the Wu family wants to kill us, will the Ji family and the He family do nothing but watch us fall?” Ji Feng shook his head and smiled.
”What's more, although the Wu family is ruthless, do they have the guts to do so?” ”Unless they really want to fight against two, or even more clans, then the Wu Clan will lose more than just an arm!”
It was no longer the situation where a powerful individual dominated everything. At present, no clan would dare to challenge multiple opponents, two lines of combat, or even multiple lines of combat, unless they wanted to die!
Ji Feng was sure that the Wu Clan did not dare to do the same!
