Chapter 114: Being Used~
“Damn, that scared me to death. It’s a good thing Sister Can is so awesome. No, where did these people come from? They just popped out of nowhere.”
Ke Yajun said as she walked out from behind the miscellaneous boxes, holding Zhuang Jiayuan’s hand.
“It’s a good thing these boxes are made of red metal. Otherwise, we would have died in minutes,” Zhuang Jiayuan said with lingering fear.
Bo He glanced at her and said in a low voice, “What you should be thankful for is that they didn’t get Captain Xiao’s gun. Otherwise, these boxes would have been just for show.”
“Tell me what’s going on,” Wan Feng asked.
Bo He glanced at the number of people and said with a frown, “Where’s Miss Zhang?”
Zhang Can’er deliberately appeared beside her and smiled. “Here.”
Bo He was startled and subconsciously took a step back. His face instantly turned pale, and the gentle look on his face was gone, replaced by a look of fear.
Ke Yajun held her stomach and burst out laughing. “Hahahahaha, Sister Can, you’re so bad. Hahahaha…”
Zhang Can’er coughed, stood beside Wan Feng, the smile on her lips unable to be suppressed.
Wan Feng was a little helpless. “You’re messing around. What if you scare him?”
“Who told him to use us? Hmph! What’s wrong with scaring him a little?”
Wan Feng’s eyes widened slightly, and she said with a puzzled expression, “What did you find out?”
Zhang Can’er shook her head. “I just figured some things out. I think Xiao Huan and Li Yitian have been fighting for a long time. This time, they probably want to use our hands to achieve some purpose. Let’s see what this Bo He has to say.”
Wan Feng nodded, her brow furrowed. There was a little more vigilance and a slight murderous intent in her eyes when she looked at Bo He.
Bo He had only been scared for a moment just now, and his state quickly recovered. Hearing Ke Yajun’s laughter, his face turned a little red, a little embarrassed, and also a little ashamed.
As one of Xiao Huan’s capable assistants, he shouldn’t have been scared. But he couldn’t control his physiological reaction and could only accept reality.
After Ke Yajun’s laughter gradually subsided, Bo He coughed twice and began to talk about what he had heard on the phone just now.
“Ahem, I just learned that Li Yitian wants to use force to control this place. After that, he will spread the news that Captain Xiao is not allowing the open test. The soldiers are not easy to fool, but those civilians don’t know the relationship between us, nor do they know the struggle between us. So once this news is released, it will have a great impact on Captain Xiao’s image in the hearts of the civilians.”
“Is Li Yitian that bold? Isn’t he afraid that you’ll release the news?” Zhang Can’er asked, puzzled.
“He’s just a cornered dog.”
Bo He sneered. Then, footsteps were heard from behind them, and they were neat and uniform.
The group turned their heads and saw Xiao Feng leading the soldiers behind her, striding over.
And as soon as Xiao Feng arrived, she walked straight toward Bo He, her face full of anger.
Bo He had a guilty conscience and ran away.
“No, Xing Feng, I was just following Captain Xiao’s orders. It wasn’t me who did it. Why are you looking for me?”
“You dare to say that the idea wasn’t yours?”
“Even if I gave the suggestion, it still had to be approved by Captain Xiao. You’re just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If you have the guts, go and find trouble with Captain Xiao!”
“I’ll deal with you first!”
In the end, it was Zhang Can’er who pulled the two of them apart. Although she didn’t know what had happened, she couldn’t just let Xiao Feng beat him to death, right?
“Xiao Feng, be good. You can’t fight anymore. If you keep fighting, someone will die.”
Xiao Feng took a few deep breaths, turned her head to the side, and was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
But Bo He had already been beaten until his face was bruised and swollen. He was already starting to feel dizzy. Zhang Can’er quickly went over and fed him a Healing Bean. After putting him on the ground, she turned to look at Xiao Feng.
“What exactly happened?”
Xiao Feng looked at her and said truthfully, “Li Yitian wants to burn his bridges and get the total control of the Federation. And the Sky Island is the breakthrough point. As long as he occupies this place, he can ruin Xiao Huan’s reputation. I’m sure this person surnamed Bo has already told you. As long as Xiao Huan loses the people’s hearts, then the middlemen and the fence-sitters in the Federation will support Li Yitian’s rise to power.”
“And many old men already look down on Xiao Huan as the Federation Lord. If it weren’t for the fact that Xiao Huan had the people’s hearts back then, this position would probably not have been hers. And some of the later policies also violated the interests of many people. So now, more than half of the high-level officials are choosing Li Yitian, and some of them were even promoted by Xiao Huan.”
“If it weren’t for the military power suppressing them, these people would have probably held a Federation Lord election conference long ago and kicked Xiao Huan out.”
Zhang Can’er understood. “So, Xiao Huan wants to use me to solve the problem here, and they can then face Li Yitian’s pressure without any psychological burden. I guess you were just dealing with the army sent by Li Yitian, right?”
Xiao Feng nodded, her eyes red as she called out with some apology, “Sister Can’er…”
Zhang Can’er sighed and rubbed Xiao Feng’s head. “It’s not your fault.”
“I will resign from this position later. I don’t want to care about Xiao Huan’s affairs anymore. Anyone can be the Federation Lord. I just want to protect my sister and sister-in-law. At worst, we can go outside. There won’t be so many things. A group of people who only know their immediate interests, fighting to the death for a broken position. Their homes are about to be gone. What’s the use of this position? A bunch of idiots.”
After being comforted, Xiao Feng said with a hint of anger. Her words were also the thoughts of most people. Their homes were gone. What was the use of fighting for this broken position?
The military base was already the only safe area in the entire Starshine Federation. Instead of thinking about how to strengthen the city walls and the soldiers, these people were fighting for some useless things. If this continued, the military base and the main city would fall sooner or later.
Just as Zhang Can’er and the others were talking, another group of soldiers came from outside, just in time to meet the ones brought by Xiao Feng. The leader was a woman with disheveled hair. Her hairstyle seemed to have been messed up during a battle, and she looked a bit shabby.
And next to her stood a woman with a cold and stern face, who was supporting her.
The sound of the soldiers attracted the attention of Zhang Can’er and the others. After rushing over, Zhang Can’er’s heart finally settled down.
These two were none other than Zhang Wan and Man Chunhua.
Obviously, both sides had relaxed. Xiao Feng let them in, and Zhang Wan also briefly talked about her recent experience.
“I received Captain Xiao’s order to come here. But on the way, a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared and started to slash at us. And they were all highly skilled in martial arts. If it weren’t for the fact that our group of soldiers were ability users, we would have probably been completely wiped out. The original one thousand people have now become three hundred… Alas… is this so-called Federation Lord position so important?”
Zhang Can’er didn’t know what to say. Anyway, she knew what she should know. Now, Li Yitian and Xiao Huan had officially torn their faces apart. It was not known what would happen later.
“Let’s go. Li Yitian probably has no one to send over here. Most of his soldiers are on the city wall. Even if he’s stupid, it’s impossible for him to withdraw those soldiers. So he probably doesn’t have many soldiers on hand now,” Xiao Feng said after analyzing.
