Chapter 51: Li Qingxi’s Transformation
What happened next was quite out of Lin Feng and Li Qingxi’s expectations.
“Strange, why haven’t we seen many people along the way?”
Li Qingxi wasn’t surprised by Lin Feng’s question. Clearly, they weren’t paying attention to the same thing.
“This isn’t the ancient times. How big do you think a family’s internal strife can be?”
Li Qingxi knew what Lin Feng was thinking.
Lin Feng nodded. He thought,
In the end, it is still somewhat different. The bloodbath of hundreds or even thousands of people in my impression has not appeared.
“In reality, those who can appear here are all core members. The unrelated personnel beneath are not qualified to enter this place.”
Li Qingxi looked at Lin Feng and explained, “Also, you don’t have to worry about the rebels bringing them in, because doing so might backfire on them.”
Lin Feng nodded in understanding.
Not everyone who worked under the Li family was loyal to the Li family.
Merchants pursued fame and fortune. Interests and benefits were prioritized.
Don’t think about how loyal they can be.
If the people below them knew that the upper echelons were not on good terms with each other and had even turned hostile, then they would not be thinking of which side to stand on. Instead, they would be thinking of ways to benefit themselves.
In the previous world, Lin Feng had witnessed the rise and fall of many family clans.
Many of the family clans were not destroyed in the hands of the enemy. Instead, they were taken advantage of by their own vassals. They could only watch helplessly as the huge foundation of their clan was divided by those people.
“Looks like those people still have some brains.”
“Well, only a little. People who truly have brains wouldn’t do something so brainless.”
Li Qingxi smiled. Compared to what Lin Feng was worried about, she was more concerned about other things.
With the doubts in her heart, Li Qingxi led Lin Feng through the garden and into the house.
At this point, Li Qingxi finally saw what she wanted to see.
Rebels who had surrounded and controlled the house, as well as the guards who were defending to the death from inside.
At this moment, there were already many corpses lying outside the residence. Looking at those familiar figures, Li Qingxi could not tell which side these people were on.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng looked thoughtfully at the weapons in the hands of these people outside the house.
Their hands were filled with cold weapons such as swords and sabers. There was not a single firearm or cannon in their hands.
“I thought there would be firearms, but they are all cold weapons.”
Hearing Lin Feng’s voice, Li Qingxi came back to her senses and explained, “Pistols and whatnot are useless against ancient martial artists. The useful ones are prohibited in the country.”
“I don’t believe your Li family wouldn’t be able to get your hands on them.”
The so-called laws and regulations could only restrict ordinary people. They won’t work on a large family like the Li family which had great influence.
This did not mean that the Li family could do whatever they wanted. However, many things were applicable to ordinary people but not to the Li family.
Li Qingxi nodded and admitted frankly, “Of course, but once they’re used, this won’t be an internal matter of the clan anymore.”
As she explained, she watched this intense battle at home.
At this moment, her heart was filled with rage. She had never been so furious before.
This was because once this matter was over, regardless of the outcome, the Li family would suffer great losses.
In all ages, the biggest loss in a faction’s internal strife was always the faction itself.
“You don’t have to do anything. Ah Da, let’s go.”
I have to take care of my own family matters myself.?Li Qingxi had no intention of relying on an outsider, let alone a man.
Lin Feng didn’t follow her wishes this time. He shook his head.
“This is a wrong decision. At a time like this, you should be saying, ‘Please, help me.'”
Li Qingxi faltered for a moment. She looked at Lin Feng as she understood what he meant.
As a qualified leader, she could not be emotional.
Under the current circumstances, what she should be thinking about wasn’t how to resolve the problem herself, but how to minimize the losses the family would suffer.
At the thought of this, Li Qingxi lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly. She didn’t hesitate as she pleaded with Lin Feng with a serious expression.
“Please, Lin Feng, please help me to quell this rebellion.”
Li Qingxi, who had lifted her head again, had a drastic change in her aura.
This was the growth of one’s mentality.
Li Qingxi had been too stubborn previously.
“Leave it to me. Besides, I’m also very curious as to who wants to deal with me.”
Lin Feng nodded and disappeared in front of Li Qingxi in the next second.
Looking at the disappearing afterimage, Li Qingxi could not help but be stunned.
“So powerful.”
A sense of relief surged into her heart.
Li Qingxi suddenly felt that there was nothing bad about having someone to rely on.
She looked at her subordinates.
“We’ll go too. Our mission is different. Rescue is our priority, try to have as few wounded as possible.”
“Yes.”
