Although all the hermits were captured and killed, the losses were irreversible. Even with the 3000-man army trying their best to fight the fire, more than half of the warships were still burned down.Such a loss is fatal to the general offensive planned for the end of the year.The only thing that can be comforted is that there are no battle casualties, the blood of the hermit is not highly poisonous, the poisoned few people were poisoned by the hermit using a secret method, not because of the blood, so the poison was detoxified in time, and no personnel appeared Loss.

When Ren Fengjiang got the news and rushed back, Lei Ting was furious.

After the investigation, I found out that the water bandits had started to infiltrate the seaside area three years ago, and that there were also their spies in the army, and they were several masters with extremely high martial arts.Normally, he would just be an ordinary soldier in silence, but actually secretly inquired about the hiding place where the warship was built.Until the exact information was obtained recently, it was immediately sent back to the country, attracting hermits to come and destroy it, and those spies with high martial arts skills had already taken the opportunity to escape.

The room was silent.

Although the generals were furious, they had nothing to say.Three years ago, Feng Jiang was just ordering people to secretly build warships, and he didn't mention the idea of ​​launching a general attack on water bandits to anyone, not even His Majesty.Due to the slow progress in the past three years, the shipbuilding has been carried out quietly and smoothly, except for a few confidantes.It wasn't until the recent high-profile recruiting that the three-year-old plan was made public.

But the monarch of Naze Kingdom actually guessed his thoughts three years ago, anticipating that he would send killers to completely wipe out the water bandits when he was appointed as Fengjiang, so he sent spies in early to lurk until now.

Ren Fengjiang was sitting in the main seat with a tall and straight figure, and the white hair on the sideburns seemed to be a little more. He was shocked and angry, but he also admired it: he underestimated his opponent.The other party's move made the bottom of the fire and directly destroyed the warship, which really made him helpless.

"Feng'er, get up, it's not your fault, it's my negligence." Ren Fengjiang got up and helped Ren Feng who was kneeling on the ground, and patted his shoulder vigorously, the wrinkles honed on the battlefield also stretched Some: "What we should think about now is the general attack at the end of the year."

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the news that the warship was burned was blocked.But the news of the general attack at the end of the year has been announced. Without warships, the general attack at the end of the year is impossible to carry out. How can we explain to the emperor and the people?

Ren Ren sat silently in the corner, but not as heavy as these generals, and had other thoughts in his mind.The reason why his father Ren Fengjiang was able to hold a large army but Xiao Tianhong did not dare to move him was because of the serious threat of water bandits in the south, and Ren Fengjiang and his son are the only generals in the imperial court who are proficient in water warfare and land warfare.Then, if a general attack is really launched and the water bandits are successfully wiped out, is there still a need for the Ren family to exist?

Asuka is a good bow, Ren Ren understands this truth too well.

If the Ren family's good bow is not to be hidden, this bird must not be exhausted!

Thinking about it this way, he would like to thank the monarch of Zeguo. If the general attack cannot be launched, the Ren family army will have to continue guarding the southern coast for ten or twenty years or even longer. So even if Xiao Tianhong is so afraid that he can't sleep at night, he will never dare to move the Ren family!

but……

Ren Ren looked at his father and elder brother with complicated eyes. The two people's lifelong wish is to protect the health of the country and wipe out the pirates, right?This general attack had entrusted them with too many hopes and dreams, and they were burned like this.They must be extremely sad, right?

Standing up suddenly, Ren Ren's actions were so abrupt in this quiet room. "Father, I have something to discuss with you." Looking firmly at his father, Ren Ren decided to speak out his plan, no matter what kind of eyes he would get.

Ren Fengjiang looked at the serious-looking youngest son, nodded, and waved everyone out. Ren Feng didn't want to leave, but was dragged out by Zhang Li.

"Let's talk." Ren Fengjiang sat opposite his son and listened quietly.He knows best about his son, when he was in Benkyo, he was too sharp and young; but when he got out of Benkyo, he seemed to grow up overnight, acting introverted, mature and steady.Although he knew that his youngest son was only 15 years old, he did not show any contempt, just like discussing with the counselors around him, he gave him enough respect and patience.

Ren Ren expressed his thoughts unhurriedly, in exchange for Ren Fengjiang's bitter sigh.Ren Ren's heart moved, and he lost his voice and said: "Father, you have already considered these things, haven't you?" Knowing that you will die after you succeed, do you want to protect this great country for the emperor?

"Ban'er, you've really grown up." Holding the young son's hand distressedly, Ren Fengjiang cast his eyes deep into the distance, "A soldier dies for the country, and he will die for the king. This is what it should be. But today I want to come... ..." His eyes fell on Ren Ren, with a bit of warmth: "I can't hurt you. So, now I want to thank the person who burned the boat. It's just... this burning saved my Ren Ren. Family, this people have suffered."

At the end of the sentence, there was a slight trill.

Ren Ren held his father's somewhat frosted palm with his backhand, and looked at the old man in front of him: he had only passed his forty years, but he looked a little older than his peers.The looming white silk hidden in the bun seems to state how hard it is for him to bear these responsibilities, and how contradictory he is for carrying these secrets.

"Father, I have a plan for both. It can not only keep my Ren family safe, but also keep the common people safe." Ren Ren said softly.

"Let's listen to it." Ren Fengjiang didn't feel the joy of seeing the sun through the clouds and mist, but was even more worried.Ren'er even drove Feng'er out just now, so his plan must be unacceptable to an upright and stubborn person like Feng'er.

"Negotiate a peace with Zeguo, a 20-year truce." Ren Ren spit out a few words slowly.

"Continue." Ren Fengjiang's hand clenched, is there a truce... He didn't want to, although fighting endlessly all year round can be revenge, but in the end it is the people who suffer, and the lives of the soldiers are lost.

"Now that our warships have been destroyed, a general attack is impossible. Your Majesty will probably blame you. But we can use another way to eliminate the water bandits. The most direct reason for the water bandits' frequent invasion is for food, so let's make peace with the water bandits. , for trade, we sell grain directly to them. In this way, they have no reason to attack."

"Perhaps the people of Zeguo do it for food, but their monarch definitely intends to expand the territory." Ren Fengjiang pointed out the loophole.

"But they have to accept it, don't they?" Ren Ren tilted his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowed into arcs, like a little fox, "No matter how ambitious they are, they still want to eat. We sell them directly to Their food is much more cost-effective than robbing them with lost troops. The price should be lowered, or they can be exchanged for special products, such as... floating green wood."

Floating green wood: the draft is shallow and the load is heavy. The wood is hard and not easy to damage. It has a fragrance that can prevent insects and ants. It is a good wood for building ships.It's just that this kind of wood is rare in Hua country, but it is everywhere in Ze country.The best floating green wood can be used to make warships.

Ren Fengjiang also had a smile, but still shook his head: "Won't this make the water bandits fat? Cultivate yourself a more prosperous and powerful opponent?" Such a 20-year truce, he probably won't live until then, What if the water bandits counterattack at that time?

Ren Ren's brows turned cold, the coldness gathered in his eyes, and his voice became cold: "The next thing I want to say. I made a medicine, which is colorless and tasteless. I sprinkle a small amount of it in every bag of grain. It can pollute all the food. This kind of medicine is safe for adults to take, but children under the age of ten only need to take it for a year or so, and their bones will become more and more brittle, and their bones will become more and more brittle. After 20 years, there will be no more young and strong men in the country of Ze, and no more soldiers who can fight."

Ren Fengjiang Huo De stood up, looking at the young son with a cold and ruthless face in disbelief, his mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't know whether his heart was filled with soreness, pain, surprise or anger.Where did his innocent and flamboyant son go?How could it become so vicious?

His father's piercing eyes made Ren Ren's heart ache, his fists on his knees clenched tightly, and his nails pierced into his palms, as if this could relieve the astringency in his heart, he closed his eyes and opened them again, still calm Wu Bo: "This method is indeed vicious, but in this way, it can save my family's safety for 20 years without bloodshed. Why don't I do it?!"

In the last sentence, the tone was harsh, and the shaking candlelight reflected his burning eyes, and the determination there almost burned Ren Fengjiang's eyes.

"Ren'er..." Ren Fengjiang softened his voice, sat opposite him again, stretched out his hand to push away Ren Ren's palm with almost bruised veins, rubbed the stab wound on his palm, and said softly, "The damage is not enough. A young child can’t do it as a father, and no general here can do it. Although we must be loyal, we must not be unrighteous..."

"No, Dad, I can do it." Ren Ren looked at him uncompromisingly, stubbornly refusing to bow his head, "If you disagree with this idea, I will give a memorial to His Majesty. Believe me, this method, he Definitely agree. When the time comes, the imperial decree will be issued. Dad, you still have to do this. So, why not listen to me now and present such a secret performance to His Majesty in your name, which will also make up for the crime of being unfavorable to the warship. Yes or no?"

Softly, he seemed to be threatening or coaxing.

It made Ren Fengjiang's heart feel as if it had been drenched in icy water, icy cold.

"No, Your Majesty rules the world with benevolence and will not agree to such an approach." Ren Fengjiang felt as if his voice was frozen stiff.

Ren Ren seemed to have heard some joke, he sneered twice and stood up, his lowered voice was faintly seductive: "He will agree, no one knows him better than me." The move is his favorite.

"Father, think about it carefully, and you can also discuss it with a few advisers and adjutants. I think some people will agree with my point of view. Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to balance. Don't let your thoughts be restricted by those benevolence, righteousness and morality. Living like that is too tiring. " Pushing open the door, Ren Ren left such a sentence, and then left alone.

Actually, I could have gone past you and reached a secret plan with Xiao Tianhong.But you are my father, I chose to confess to you, my scheming, my viciousness.But please believe that no matter how hideous Ren Ren becomes, I will never betray my family again. I want to keep the Ren family.

Xiao Tianhong, you will be satisfied with such an idea.The poison that erodes the bone and marrow is thanks to you.Remember that bottle of poison you made me drink?It's a pity that he was rescued by the old man Qin with "Shengxiang Yulu", but he didn't die, only suffered from the problem of easy fracture.That's why I researched that poison together with Shengxiang Yulu, and then created this strange poison designed to kill children.

Since you have contributed to this poison, I will use this poison to protect your Huaguo Jiangshan, and you will also reward my Ren family for a hundred years of safety, okay?
