The next day.
Yesterday, after Fire Beacon Nation's attempt to raid the Bi Shui army ended in failure, River City once again spread the news of Fire Behemoth attacking the Fire Behemoth army. In that moment, all the public opinion turned towards the side of the State of Clear Water, saying that the State of Clear Water had the divine assistance, saying that the life of the State of Clear Water should not be lost, and that Fire Beacon Nation would take advantage of the situation to seek its own destruction.
Huo Yaojiao was suddenly at the center of the vortex of words.
The Fire Nation's military, Xiangliu Zhaozhen, was disgraced into a villain with a reputation for infamy. At the same time, while Luoyan had defeated the army of the Fire Nation in the battle to protect the city, she had been dealt another heavy blow by Dongliang. However, he still refused to give up and told Jiang Cheng to strengthen his public opinion so that the citizens of the city would not have the guts to talk behind their backs while he and Luoyan, who was still on the front lines of the attacking city, would fight to the death against Luoyan.
He swore that he would find Luo Liya's accomplice in this matter, and at the same time close the city gate, not allowing anyone to enter or leave the city. This caused a large portion of the merchants to directly complain to the military governor's mansion, and he said that he would behead the merchant that was leading them on the spot. Only then did he suppress this matter.
However, just this alone was unable to vent the anger in his heart. When he thought about how he was defeated by a girl with such weak true qi and at such a low level, he had the urge to kill.
At the same time, he sent someone to investigate if there was such a woman in Fu Quan's camp. If it really was Fu Quan's person, then he would definitely destroy her before she could deal a devastating blow to him.
It was unknown how crazy his words were. No one dared to approach him, but they had no choice but to do things for him.
When Luo Liya heard this news, the corners of her mouth curled up. Causing a calm person to lose his cool was a very sensible thing to do. This way, she would be able to take advantage of it even more.
She went to Fu Quan of her own accord and worked out a counterplan with him. Afterwards, they would need someone who looked very loyal to complete this task. Luo Liya did not hesitate to recommend Wu Kong to Fu Quan.
”Why him? I'm afraid he'll get in. ”
Fu Quan stroked his beard and added, ”I can't avoid outsiders and I can't avoid in-laws. I would like to recommend my son Dong Ming. He is much smarter than that Wu Kong.”
”No.” Luo Liya decisively refused, her tone did not give any leeway, which made Fu Quan startled. A disapproving look flashed in his eyes, and he curled his lips and asked, ”Why not? Do you think that my son is inferior to that fool? ”
”Firstly, Wu Kong is not a fool, he has already improved a lot, he is able to distinguish between right and wrong, and can also complete the mission on his own, please give him a chance to prove himself, secondly, although Dong Ming is very capable, but he is one of the four great dragons of Jiang City, many of the citizens know him, if he is allowed to go, it would be easy for him to become a spy, at that time, if he were to let someone from River City see Dong Ming, Dong Ming will completely expose himself, wouldn't I be right?”
Fu Quan was very dissatisfied with Luo Liya's side of Wu Kong at first, but when he heard her words, he was immediately speechless. It did make sense.
”This matter is very important. You must explain it clearly to him. If he has any reluctance, you can reject it. Otherwise, you must complete the mission.”
Although Fu Quan could be considered one of the few good officials in the government, no matter what, he was still biased towards his own son. Moreover, Fu Dongming was so capable and outstanding, how could he not think of Fu Dongming? Although it was understandable, she still felt a bit sad for Wu Kong. It was as if there was no one else in this world who doted on her as much as she did.
He was so pitiful. Not only did he not have a father, there were so few people who could speak up for him.
”I will tell him. He will accept it.”
Wu Kong, in order to prove yourself, you have to accept it. Luo Liya said in her heart.
Luo Liya came out of Fu Quan's tent and headed straight for Wu Kong and Zi Ruo's tent. At this moment, Wu Kong and Zi Ruo were training in the tent, Wu Kong was pleasantly surprised when he saw Luo Liya, ”Big sister!”
Zi Ruo smiled faintly at her, but didn't say anything. Luo Liya had no choice but to step forward and say: ”Zi Ruo, can you go out for a while? Yue Ling is alone in the tent now, you can chat with her, I and Wu Kong … … There's something to say. ”
Zi Ruo nodded in understanding, and her lips even displayed a teasing smile, Luo Liya was immediately distressed. She was here to talk business, why did Zi Ruo's expression make her feel that there was some secret between Wu Kong and herself …
”Elder sister, Zi Ruo has already left. What do you want to tell me?” Wu Kong asked with a simple smile.
”Wukong, what I'm going to say next is a top secret. We can't let anyone else say it. Do you understand what I'm saying?”
Wu Kong nodded his head to show that he understood. His expression changed from his previous laughing posture to one of seriousness. ”Rest assured elder sister, I know the severity of this matter.”
Luo Liya saw that Wu Kong had such an epiphany, so she was very pleased. Then, she pulled Wu Kong's head to her side and whispered her plan of going with Fu Quan in his ear.
After Wu Kong finished listening, he seemed to be in a bad mood. He looked at Luo Liya with blinking eyes, ”Elder sister, what do you think … Can I do it? Why don't you come with me, big sister? ”
”Wu Kong.” Luo Liya said with a serious expression, ”This is your chance to prove yourself. I can't go with you. You have to accomplish it by yourself. Please don't let me down, okay?”
Wu Kong lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. Luo Liya could only see his beautiful eyelashes. He looked somewhat pitiful. Luo Liya had to put in a lot of effort in order to not be soft-hearted.
