Chapter 8531 It’s Not Too Late to Settle Accounts After the Fall
By an unexpected miss, Feng Tianxing avoided the sneak attack, but after he returned to the camp, Kaqiu came to report almost immediately.
"Master Feng, we found some suspicious demons nearby, but we haven't found their purpose so far. I have arranged for people to follow them, and we will have accurate news soon."
Feng Tianxing thought for a moment and spoke directly.
"Let people come back. There is no need to investigate."
The news this time directly confirmed Song Tao's judgment. He knew very well what level his opponent was this time, and he was at least confident that he could defeat him. This proved that his strength was at least not far from his apparent strength.
With such strength among his own men, he would be completely crushed. An absolutely strong person would risk death even if he peeked into their secrets.
It happened that Feng Tianxing had just sent off his 20,000 men to deal with some internal problems among the soldiers. If some mistakes happened at this juncture, I am afraid that the morale would be a little unbearable.
Men without morale are simply impossible to look at, and their combat effectiveness will be horribly low.
Simply ask them not to pursue it. Ensuring stability at this stage is the most important thing.
Kaqiu didn't understand what he meant and was a little confused.
"Master Feng, although our current strength is somewhat damaged, if we can win a beautiful battle, it will still have a great effect on improving morale. Why let this opportunity pass?"
Feng Tianxing glanced at him lightly.
"I just got the news that the demons watching outside are here for me. Do you think they will jump out and cause trouble at this time if they are not strong enough?"
"Wait a minute, please help me send a message to Ke Ke, asking him to send people to check the major families we work with to determine whether there are any sudden changes in their funds. Let her decide how to check specifically."
After these two orders, Kaqiu set off quickly.
Although Feng Tianxing's decision was based on the news, this alone was enough to be far ahead of others.
A sufficiently large intelligence network is the guarantee for making correct decisions. Just like during the long journey here, no matter how short of manpower there is, Feng Tianxing will always arrange for a group of demons to go and explore the intelligence.
Perhaps, this is where he is better than others.
Kaqiu was busy giving orders, but Feng Tianxing was lost in thought again at this moment.
The arrival of his opponent was not good news. The only thing he could think of was the demon families who were squeezed by him. He had used force to temporarily surrender them, but similarly, they could also use force to break the deadlock.
After this time, no matter what the outcome of the battle on his side is, what really matters is the life and death of the 80,000 demons under him. Their resources must be found elsewhere.
The demon army does not need to worry about lack of food and grass. The demons will not die even if they starve for several years. The real bulk of the resources lies in the monthly food and salary, as well as the resources and materials needed for practice.
For example, elixirs, several of which have been verified by Jiang, can greatly improve the demons. These are the guarantees that Feng Tianxing can ensure that his men will not collapse.
But the refining of elixirs requires a large amount of medicinal materials, which are the most basic resources.
In addition, there are also some trivial expenses, such as wine, meat, and the construction of various venues, which the demons love, and these add up to not a small sum.
Although Jialuo allowed him to expand now, he didn't mention anything about food and wages.
Even the 100,000 demons who came here with Feng Tianxing didn't have Jia Luo's food and salary, let alone these newly recruited demons.
The Demon Clan cannot be relied on here, and the rest can only rely on themselves.
After some thought, Feng Tianxing decided to go to Jiang in person for the silk that had already been produced. If this thing could be grasped, the pressure on raising the demon army would be much less, both for him and for his hidden hand. Come down and say.
"Let Kaqiu come over!"
Not long after, Kaqiu returned to Feng Tianxing, but his expression had changed a little, and he spoke directly.
"Ke Ke has just explained that those demon clans are not clean. Ke Ke is currently outside and has no chance to escape. I would like to ask how to deal with this matter."
Feng Tianxing thought for a moment and spoke directly.
"Don't worry, let's suppress this matter first, get all the evidence, and then show my cards to them when I have a backup plan. This account can be settled later."
"Keke, you go and inform me. I will arrange a task for you. I need to go out for a trip. You have to restrain all your subordinates in the city. As long as you can find the traces of your opponent in advance, even a demon with the same strength as me can do it." It’s hard to break in.”
Kaqiu nodded and personally sent Feng Tianxing out of the city before starting his daily trivial tasks.
Returning to his camp, he told the messenger sent by Jialuo about Feng Tianxing's order to garrison the city, and then personally urged the demons to carry out the order.
Feng Tianxing came directly to Jiang's jurisdiction during this trip, but he was not in a hurry to show up. Instead, he pretended to be an ordinary demon and wandered slowly on the street.
After walking a street of about a hundred steps, Feng Tianxing frowned slightly. There was no silk made within these hundred steps. Could it be that there was something wrong with the plan?
As soon as his thoughts changed, Feng Tianxing walked directly into the nearby restaurant and took the opportunity to order food to chat with the waiter.
"Bring me three jars of this wine. By the way, I came to the city this time to buy some silk. Do you know where I can buy this stuff?"
With that said, Feng Tianxing put down some demon currency.
The waiter nodded quickly and returned respectfully.
"You asked the right person about this. The other demons don't know yet. I have exclusive information here."
"Your Excellency spends money generously, and I am not that careless. Silk is now only available in the City Lord's mansion. Both the servants and the City Lord himself like it very much. Recently I heard that there is a silk conference being held, saying that they want to prove their identity through their clothes. Your Majesty, you have also said that if you see demons wearing silk in the future, demon soldiers will not be able to search you without reason, etc."
"Sir, the big shot behind you also has a discerning eye. The price of this thing is now one per day. The price has only increased for two days. The price is not outrageous. If you want to buy it, you should be early."
Feng Tianxing nodded with satisfaction and gave some to the waiter.
This is not to pay for the news, but to make the waiter pay attention to this matter. As long as he finds that there is profit in it, he will try his best to promote it to other demons to spread the matter wider.
After observing it from the window of the restaurant, Feng Tianxing nodded with satisfaction.
