"Master Le, we have got rid of the pursuers behind us now, and we are safe for the time being." Feng Erniang said.
Lu Ding nodded, "But we are not far away from the army. We still need to be careful now. This is why I didn't recommend lighting a fire just now."
Feng Erniang nodded, "Young Master Le and I thought of going together, but because of the business we have been doing, we robbed passing merchants, fought with officers and soldiers, and the bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau, and later we fought with these Fans fight, so they have accumulated a lot of experience in this area. Mr. Le is a scholar, where did he come up with these things? "
Lu Jing was speechless for a moment.
If he was still alone, he could naturally talk about his experiences at will to smooth over the matter at this time, but now that he has Liang Susu by his side, Lu Jing doesn't dare to make trouble for himself anymore.
Fortunately, Feng Erniang didn't want to delve into this issue at first. She just used this topic to continue talking, "I wonder what Mr. Le's plans are in the future?"
"Well, let's find a place to stay first to avoid the war." Lu Jing said.
At this time, Liang Susu beside him also said, "My uncle is an official in Shuzhou. Because of the dangerous terrain and many local tribesmen, even these grassland tribesmen do not want to be easily provoked. We can go there to join my uncle."
Feng Erniang nodded, "Of course this is also a way, but..."
She changed the subject, "I wonder if Mr. Le has considered other possibilities?"
"What's possible?" Lu Jing asked.
Feng Erniang looked at Lu Jing with stern eyes, "With your talents, it is too unqualified to enter Shuzhou. Although Shuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the local political power is actually firmly controlled by chieftains, big and small, and the Chief Secretary exists in name only. , they no longer have much rights, and those chieftains only trust their own people.
"Of course, with Mr. Le's ability, it will not be difficult to make a living no matter where you go, but if you want to go further, it will be even more difficult. It is better to join us."
Seeing that Lu Jing was noncommittal, Feng Erniang continued, "Now that the world is in chaos and Kyushu is about to collapse, it will naturally be a catastrophe for the people everywhere, but there are also opportunities in this catastrophe.
"As long as you seize this opportunity, even a little loach in the shoal may turn into a five-clawed golden dragon, and with the talent of the young master, no matter how bad he is, he can become a general and prince.
"You want me to be your military advisor and help you conquer the world?" Lu Jing did not expect that Feng Erniang was a female figure, but her ambition was not small at all.
However, then Feng Erniang shook her head and said, "You are not assisting me, but we are here to assist you. If you are willing to join us, then I am willing to give up the position of leader to you."
"Ah this..." Dahu on the side was startled when Falcon heard it. He subconsciously wanted to object, but then he thought of something and hesitated again.
In the end, it was Lu Jing who helped them express what was on their mind, shaking his head and saying, "I am an outsider and cannot take your place."
"Others may not be able to do it, but you can indeed do it." Feng Erniang said, then pointed at Falcon and Dahu, "Their reactions just now have said everything. Everyone has seen your performance along the way. , not only are you brave and resourceful, but most importantly, you are loyal enough and don’t leave anyone behind. That’s why everyone admires you.”
"General Feng, you are also very loyal."
"Yes, but I'm not as good as you. If I were in your position, the four stories before might be enough to kill me." Feng Erniang said, "I'm not being modest. My father said this when he was still alive. I have great courage but no great wisdom. I can be a general but not a commander."
"After I took the position of the owner of the village, although I thought I was very diligent, the development of the house was not satisfactory."
"I don't like hearing what you are saying, Master." Dahu shook his head, "The village has obviously developed very well in the past few years, even better than when the old village master was here."
Feng Erniang smiled bitterly, "That's because the world is in chaos now, and there are so many people who have turned into bandits. It's almost impossible to contain them. Several villages around us are also developing very well, but I know it myself. My ability is actually not enough to take on this important task.”
"So I have been telling the brothers that I will only sit in that seat temporarily. When a suitable candidate comes along, I will give it up immediately. But now that the suitable candidate has appeared, there is no reason for me to hold that chair anymore. .”
Seeing Feng Erniang's firm words, Falcon and Dahu didn't know what else they could do to persuade them.
And they also felt in their hearts that if they really had to choose someone to take over Feng Erniang's position, Lu Jing would indeed be a good candidate.
This kid's skills are a little inferior, but in terms of courage and heroism, there is no one in the entire village who can surpass him, let alone his love and righteousness. He was clearly out of danger just now, but he turned around and went back to save himself. He lost his beloved woman, and when faced with danger, he did not abandon any of them.
In addition, he is also a scholar, has a good brain, and knows more than the average person. If he leads the village, he may really be able to do a better job than Feng Erniang.
But even so, the two still did not let go.
Now Feng Erniang is also worried. Falcon and Daniel are both her loyal confidants and are quite prestigious in the village. If she can't convince them both, then she may have to try to convince others to accept Lu Jing. It's more difficult.
Feng Erniang said, "If you two have anything to say, please say it quickly."
Falcon and Daniel looked at each other, and then said, "It's not impossible to let Young Master Le be the master, but we have a request."
"What request?" Feng Erniang frowned.
These two people usually listen to her the most. Even if she asks them to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, they will not hesitate at all. They did not expect that they would come to negotiate terms with her at this time.
Falcon coughed, "It's very simple. Mr. Le just needs to marry Master Feng."
Feng Erniang was really stunned this time.
Falcon had spoken, but he no longer had any scruples, and simply continued, "Although Mr. Le is good, he is still an outsider to us. Master Feng can convince us today, but it will be difficult to convince other people in the village in the future. Brother, not to mention that when the old village leader died, he personally said that he would hand over the village to you, Master Feng. This is not just a matter of change.
"But if Mr. Le marries you, Master Feng, then all the problems will be solved. Mr. Le is no longer an outsider. You give the village to your own man, and everyone will take it for granted. When the time comes, we will put our best efforts into this matter. There will be no more obstacles.”
Although Feng Erniang thought this proposal was ridiculous, she had to admit that she was a little tempted, not only because the proposal was feasible, but also because the matter itself made her very excited.
But after her heartbeat passed, she realized another problem, and that was - Liang Susu.
Leya returned to the city just to save Liang Susu. This shows the deep relationship between the two. How could he abandon Liang Susu and marry her instead?
As Feng Erniang moved her gaze to Liang Susu, the latter also stood up from the ground.
