While waiting for Nan Hua to wake up, Long Qian Xing sat on the chair and write down the few things that had happened along with the map of the area. He looked at the few villages around Lin Family Mountain and wondered whether the villagers would want to cooperate with them or not.
After all, Fei Yang Kingdom was technically a stranger while Lin Family has been here for so many years.
"Are you planning on turning the villagers against Lin Family?"
"I have that idea but I'm not sure it'll succeed." Long Qian Xing paused and turned around. At some point, Nan Hua had woken up and stood beside him. Even with his high martial arts, he didn't realize it at all.
This made him wonder just how high Nan Hua's technique was. If she were here to assassinate him, Long Qian Xing knew that he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at the plans Long Qian Xing had made. "Lin Family's reputation is not good. The villagers are mostly controlled by their gu or poison. If you can help them out, they should be willing to turn against Lin Family."
"You know that much?" Long Qian Xing was surprised. "I don't think they will be willing to admit that they're being controlled."
"There are many villages like this." Nan Hua was calm.
She knew this from the novel that the Lin Family was the one who had been helping Prime Minister Lei through their sinister ways. At the same time, there were a few villages that were named because their experiments were done there or they needed the villagers to help them out.
Thus, the Lin Family would provide the necessary methods to help control these people.
However, they could only do it to a limited number of people. After all, they were not omnipotent and controlling so many bugs would take a lot of effort. They had to make sure these bugs didn't die or they would lose their key.
When Nan Hua read the story back then, she always felt that Zhang Xu Kingdom was not controlled by the Emperor but by these sinister subordinate. And what amazed her was the fact that many of them was actually not from Zhang Xu Kingdom.
Prime Minister Lei came here many years ago and because of his intelligence, he was selected as the Prime Minister.
Lin Family was originally a secluded village with limited resource without any affiliation. It was the Imperial Family Ancestor of Zhang Xu Kingdom who made them to be part of Zhang Xu Kingdom and rise.
Strategist Mang, the man who had been helping Prime Minister Lei at the back and also responsible for these research and experiments, was originally a traveler and met with Prime Minister Lei through a series of coincidence.
And a few more others who worked under Prime Minister Lei all came from other areas that has never been mentioned in the story. Nan Hua didn't know where they originated from, but she knew that they were not from Zhang Xu Kingdom.
It was said that they traveled from afar.
But how far?
From their appearance alone, they didn't look much different from the people in the six kingdoms.
