809: Small Moves (Part Two) [Monthly Ticket Request]

Shen Tang's side fell into a brief silence.

Based on what she knew of Zhao Feng, he would never trouble a second person with something he could shoulder himself, much less ask the leader of another faction for help. What would that make his actual lord, Lord Wu, think? Asking her this had probably taken half a lifetime's worth of courage.

Shen Tang agreed readily.

"Tell me what you need, Da Yi. Just say the word."

"Whatever lies within my power, I shall do without hesitation!"

Her promise carried considerable weight.

When Zhao Feng had still held an official post under her, Shen Tang had once intended to recruit him. Yet his wholehearted loyalty to Wu Xian had never wavered. She had never expected matters to reach this point. Now that the advantage lay with her, even if her heart was blooming with joy, she absolutely couldn't let her character setting collapse!

On the surface, she still had to gently persuade Zhao Feng.

"However, this matter shouldn't have been done by Brother Zhaode."

Anyone could tell with their toes that it couldn't possibly have been Wu Xian.

Zhao Feng had indeed put him in an awkward position, but his actions didn't constitute betrayal. If Wu Xian was truly displeased, at most he could make Zhao Feng sit on the bench forever afterward. There was no need to send troops to surround his old residence, much less nearly get his two sons killed.

If Wu Xian really acted so recklessly, he would've been dead already!
