Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 224 218. Shocking Change
"Chew, chew, chew..."

Feng Xi didn't eat fast, and spent most of his time observing the situation of this wealthy man. This Weng Guoqian really acted like a big master, not willing to eat by himself, but wanted the servants to feed him, and was only willing to chew.

No wonder he needs someone’s support even when entering the door. I guess his athletic ability has completely deteriorated.

"Mr. Weng, I heard from Governor Li that you are also quite prestigious in this area?"

After the dishes were served, Feng Xi finally spoke slowly, starting with the local situation.

"That's right. I dare not say it in other places, but my words carry a lot of weight in Cangwu City."

Weng Guoqian said this proudly and glanced at Li Hui, clearly provoking him. What you Han officials can't do, I can do.

Neither Li Hui nor Feng Xi made any comment on this behavior, which was like a beast fighting for territory. They didn't have the heart to get angry at this uncivilized savage.

"I heard that there have been several disturbances in Jiaozhou and even around Cangwu. I wonder why Mr. Weng is unwilling to lend a hand and help our Han Dynasty stabilize the situation there?"

Feng Xi was quite polite as he spoke. He even picked up the wine glass and walked up to Weng Guoqian, asking him questions with a smile on his face.

"Although my words carry some weight, everyone has their own ideas. How can I interfere with them? Why don't you reflect on yourself, Lord Li, and think about whether you have done something that has angered the people and caused this?"

Although Weng Guoqian is a bit arrogant, he is not stupid. He completely denied any responsibility for the riot and acted as if I couldn't control it even if I wanted to.

"It was fine the first few times. Governor Li specifically asked me to come here to calm the people of Jiaozhou. As a local tyrant, are you willing to serve as a bridge of communication between the government and the people?"

Feng Xi held the wine glass in the middle of the conference room, raised it towards Weng Guoqian, and drank the mild wine in the glass, still with that smiling face.

Li Hui was speechless. Was this the Grand Commander's brilliant plan? He came all the way here to ask these powerful people if they were willing to be his mouthpiece? If they were willing, why would he go through so much trouble?
Weng Guoqian was also stunned, and then a trace of disdain and sneer appeared on his face. He thought that since the Grand Commander was a high-ranking official, his ability should be high at least, but now he could actually ask such a stupid question, it seems that he is also a drunkard.

"I, Weng Guoqian, am naturally willing to serve the Han Dynasty, but as I said just now, I can only advise the common people on what they think, but I cannot make decisions for them. The power of my Weng family is really limited."

Seeing Feng Xi's behavior, Weng Guoqian continued to play dumb and knew nothing about anything.

"This is easy to say. Since Mr. Weng is willing, I will trouble you to pay more attention to the local people's livelihood in the future. If anyone has ill intentions, report it to Mr. Li in time to help us deal with it in time."

Feng Xi still had that silly and happy look on his face, but what he said did make Weng Guoqian a little uncomfortable. How could this be called "assistance"? Wasn't this just being a traitor and betraying others?

Although Weng Guoqian didn't care about the lives of the untouchables, he still valued his own face. If the news of his "surrendering to the Han people" spread out, he would inevitably be despised by other Cham tyrants, or even be branded, which would be a loss.

"The Grand Commander is joking. I will certainly assist the government, but I'm afraid what the Grand Commander said is beyond my ability."

Although Weng Guoqian's words sounded rather euphemistic, he actually directly rejected Feng Xi's solicitation. And Weng Guoqian's face was not looking very good.

Li Hui on the opposite side couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. The commander-in-chief's move backfired. Not only did it fail to calm the situation, but it made the relationship between the two sides even more strained.

"Mr. Weng..."

Li Hui opened his mouth and wanted to smooth things over for Feng Xi, but Feng Xi made a gesture with his hand, signaling Li Hui not to speak first.

"Mr. Weng means that he is unwilling to help us, the Han people?"

Feng Xi's expression was somewhat confused and difficult to accept, which made Weng Guoqian misjudge Feng Xi's thoughts. He thought that he was defeated by his arrogance, which made Weng Guoqian more certain that he was just a frivolous young man who didn't understand this. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I..."

"Dang, puff."

Weng Guoqian was about to start talking when suddenly the sword at Feng Xi's waist came out with a clang. With a flash of cold light, Weng Guoqian felt a chill on his neck, and then the world was spinning. His vision actually fell backwards, and the light in his vision was slowly disappearing.

"He dares to kill me?"

This was the last thought that flashed through Weng Guoqian’s mind, and then everything returned to darkness.

"Gulu gulu..."

No one reacted and the scene fell into silence for a moment, only the hot water in the cauldron was still bubbling.

Feng Xi took out a piece of cloth, wiped the blood off the sword, and then threw it on the headless body of Weng Guoqian.

As luck would have it, Weng Guoqian's body fell to the side as the cloth fell.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The servants brought by Weng Guoqian shouted in fear. Li Hui stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream, confused and shocked, unable to speak.

This Feng Xi is such a shameless guy. He was talking just now, and the next second he killed someone. Who could react like this?
The servants' screams naturally attracted the people outside, but this was the prefectural government's residence, and the only people who could come in were Han troops.

"Grand Commander, what happened?"

The first to come were the brothers Bao Feng and Bao Yi, one of them holding an iron drill and the other holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji. The two sturdy men like black iron towers blocked the light from the gate so completely that the Cham servants were so scared that they hugged each other and some even peed themselves.

"No problem. Guard the gate and don't let these Cham people escape without my permission. You guys should be quiet too. If anyone shouts, I will treat you like your master."

Feng Xi waved his hands. He didn't look like he had just killed someone. He looked casual, as if he was going out for a walk.

"Grand Commander, in the end, isn't this still..."

Li Hui came back to his senses from his daze, and with a bitter look on his face, he wanted to persuade Feng Xi, why did he still kill people despite all his persuasion?
"Hush, Li, be patient. Are you willing to inherit your master's status and property and become the leader of the Han army in Cangwu?"

Feng Xi interrupted Li Hui again and pointed at one of the huddled servants. The servant looked around and pointed at himself, not believing that Feng Xi was talking to him.

Feng Xi smiled and nodded in affirmation, like a kind older brother next door.

The servant nodded suddenly at first, but then suddenly, as if he remembered something, he shook his head suddenly.

"Sir, I..."

"Dang, puff."

Before he could finish his words, Feng Xi drew his sword again and pierced his throat, completely ignoring what he had to say.
