Volume 2 Chapter 122: Submitting the Nomination Form

  "Do you want to surrender?" Looking at the man in front of her who was nearly 30 years old and had a calm expression, Liang Jing's tone carried an unquestionable dominance.

  "How did you know?" Uh, coughing, no, that is... Looking at this iron tower man with a full body of silver light, Wu Yong was somewhat dizzy, and subconsciously replied to the question. When he came to his senses, he could no longer maintain a calm and composed expression on his face.

  Wu Yong thought to himself: "Damn it, this monster, how did the butcher know? He had originally wanted to put on a show of being aloof and detached, letting the other party look up to him, before selling himself for a good price. But unexpectedly, the other party's four words shattered his previously planned scheme and tricks. It's likely that he no longer has any status in the other party's heart; feeling stifled and unable to pretend to be a superior being anymore."

  "Alright! But I need some proof! A letter of introduction!" Liang Jing knew that the man in front of him was quite capable, and through the mini-map display showing his friendly tendency, he asked directly with a tone of urgency, since he had gotten the answer he wanted, there was no need for more nonsense, so he directly stated his requirements.

  "What do you want?" Wu Yong took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Facing this monster-like man in front of him, the pressure was too great, and he could no longer be as calm and collected as he was in front of others. His infallible mind-reading ability had failed, and his thoughts were directly seen through by the other party. He had been caught off guard twice when facing the opponent head-on...

  At this time, he had already given in to Liang Jing and had a good position for himself. He didn't have the same indifferent attitude as Gong Zheng in front of Ou Kui; at this time, he also knew that as a former enemy, if he wanted to gain Liang Jing's trust, he must pay the price, gain his trust, and then he might be able to exert his abilities and gain his appreciation.

  This must be done before!

  Liáng Jìng is indeed a great choice, with impressive abilities and a strong sense of justice. He's not stupid either, making him worth following. As for being the leader himself, he doesn't even think about it - he knows his own capabilities and that he lacks the charisma to be in charge. Instead, he focuses on providing strategic advice, like a chief advisor or something similar.

  "I'll let you go kill Gong Zhengwei!" Liang Jing's eyes suddenly became sharp and piercing, staring into Wu Yong's eyes, his low voice rising.

  "Ah! No, choose another one, this won't do, I don't want to and can't do this." Wu Yong was startled by Liang Jing's suddenly sharp gaze and immediately reacted loudly in denial. He wasn't stupid and didn't want to learn from Lü Bu. In an instant, he thought that if he really agreed to go back and find an opportunity to kill Gong Zhengwei, the next moment he would be killed by Liang Jing.

  "Why? If you're going to rely on me, that means you have a grudge against Gong Zheng. What's holding you back?" Liang Jing seemed unsurprised, he was just probing, knowing the other person was clever, but still wanting to test their reaction; besides, Liang Jing wasn't willing to let his enemy be killed by someone else and 'help' take revenge.

  "Gong Zhengwei isn't a good person, he's selfish, sinister and vicious, but at least in the past, he wasn't too bad to me. This time I'm only following you because I see that you have more potential than him; another reason is that this failure resulted in so many deaths, Gong Zhengwei won't let me off, I must leave him! As he said this, he flattered and resentfully glanced at Liang Jing, as if saying all of this wasn't caused by her, he was forced to this point because of her!"

  "Oh? Besides killing Gong Zhengwei, what else can be more difficult than that?" The gaze of the lady in the boudoir made Liang Jing feel a bit uneasy: "First, let's talk about Gong Zhengwei's current situation and see what strength he can still muster."

  "In this migrating crowd, there is only one team of private soldiers. On the other side, there are two teams blocking the monster's pursuit and guarding. Gong Zhengwei can only command half of the private soldiers in his team, while the rest are under Zhang Tuanzhang's command. However, Zhang Tuanzhang was injured by Gong Zhengwei's conspiracy, and more than 500 private soldiers under his command are now opening up a path and fighting against monsters at the front."

  "In other words, Gong Zhengwei now has less than 100 private soldiers under his command. Apart from Gao Yaotai, there are three more Awakeners under him. However, compared to these, the problem is not them, but rather Gong Zhengwei himself. He may not be good at commanding battles, but when it comes to plotting and scheming, he's a master. If he makes promises and wins people over, he might still be able to pull in quite some influential figures."

  ……

  Wu Yong knew that this was Liang Jing's first time to show her value, and immediately spoke eloquently, mentioning all the powers in Gong Zheng's hands and the forces he could win over.

  "Huh?" Hearing the intrigue and conspiracy, Liang Jing felt annoyed. In his world, he hated these things the most, thinking that these politicians were just hypocrites; He would rather be straightforward and not resort to trickery, this was what he liked, liking directness, frankness, reality, and direct power.

  As for pulling those forces in, Liang Jing's eyes turned cold. These people had better be smart, otherwise he would not let off even one of them.

  "So now if you want to surrender, you must do two things: first, find an opportunity to kill Tu Wu Gui, and second, help destroy the grain depot and arsenal!" Although there was a small map that could show the enemy's relationship, Liang Jing still had to be more thorough. Tu Wu Gui was the mastermind behind this matter, he wouldn't let him go.

  "Good!" Wu Yong's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect the other side to be so ruthless, actually wanting to fight to the end, come what may. Liang Jing's eyes were dull and expressionless as he stared at him, making Wu feel like his life could be taken away by the other man at any moment. He also knew that he had no choice left.

  ……

  In the spacious hall, candles were lit all around, taking away the darkness of night. Inside, it was bustling with people, discussing and chattering incessantly.

  "Everyone! I've called you all over this time because there's something that needs to be discussed and I need your help!" Gong Zhengwei, due to the medicine given by Professor Duan in the afternoon, had his injuries under control and was recovering somewhat. At this moment, he let someone move him to a wheelchair at the main seat, looked around at the people beside him, especially at a man about 180cm tall wearing black martial arts attire with a hint of slyness, then glanced at several people in the crowd, his face flushed with excitement.

  Wow!

  The crowd that was originally enjoying good food and drink in the hall stopped eating, stopped talking, and looked at Gong Zhengwei on the main seat. This person represents a powerful force, and he is one of the most powerful people in this group. Although they lost today, no one dares to underestimate him.

  "Cough, cough! I think everyone knows in their hearts why we're all gathered here today! No mistake, it's for Liang Jing!" Gong Zhengwei became agitated as soon as he mentioned Liang Jing. He had already hated him to death, but now he no longer felt the panic he had when he first heard the news that afternoon. He had gained confidence.

  Splash!

  The crowd below suddenly erupted!

  As expected, they were called just to deal with Liang Jing. The people below all looked at Gong Zheng strangely and didn't take the initiative to offer help or make promises. For a moment, it was a bit awkward. A few people in the crowd seemed to want to speak up, but looking at Gong Zheng, he didn't give any instructions, nor did they want to be the first to take the lead.

  The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, these people all came here after communicating with each other beforehand, and didn't care about this messy affair. Liang Jing, who couldn't even be killed by your machine guns, grenades, and cannons, suffered heavy losses, they wouldn't even have enough teeth to gnash if they went in.

  Even some people are gloating, secretly taking selfies and cheering, you also have today, it's worth noting that many of these forces are not in harmony with the military, although various forces are now rampant, and the government has defaulted; however, it still depends on the military's attitude, the military will not allow these forces to grow big, threatening them at that time. As a result, many forces have been suppressed, and even several of the original major forces were destroyed by private soldiers, also leading to the current situation where the large forces do not exceed 300 people. Of course, some special relationships with special care are certain, this is the national condition.

  Only the provincial officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps; so these people, facing Gong Zhengwei being messed up by Liang Jing and suffering heavy losses, are overjoyed and may even take the initiative to act, and even want Liang Jing, this killing god, to make more trouble.

  Gong Zhengwei had expected this outcome, but he still felt extremely humiliated, his face flushing with anger, red like a monkey's buttocks.
