1388 Trustworthy?
Li Lanfeng smiled when he saw that Ling Lan's face was still tense. "Alright, it's my fault. I'm willing to atone for my mistakes. I'll take care of all your meals in the future. Is that okay?"
"You're smart," Ling Lan said in satisfaction. If Li Lanfeng dared to not take responsibility, she would definitely drag him to the cultivation room and teach him a lesson.
Her attitude must have been too good recently. Everyone started to rebel.
Li Lanfeng smiled lightly when he heard that. He left Ling Lan's room with a stack of plates and chopsticks in his hands.
The moment he left, Li Lanfeng's smile got brighter. There was even a hint of smugness on his face.
He killed two birds with one stone with this plan. He would kick Ling Lan and Han Xuya out so that they wouldn't remind Ling Lan that he still had two fiancées in front of her every day. Of course, it would be even easier for him to infiltrate into Ling Lan's life. In the future, he would be in charge of Ling Lan's meals.
Li Lanfeng didn't want to only be in charge of breakfast and lunch. He was so greedy that he wanted to take care of dinner too. He wanted Ling Lan to fall in love with his cooking. It would be best if she got addicted to his cooking and couldn't leave him for the rest of her life.
Since he had decided to pursue his fiancé and the difficulty level was SSSSS +, he had to use all sorts of methods. Li Lanfeng decided to spend the rest of his life with Ling Lan.
Li Lanfeng never thought about the word 'failure'. If he didn't succeed, he would die trying. He would either live the rest of his life with Ling Lan or die.
At that moment, Ling Lan didn't know that the strategist she trusted the most actually had 'evil intentions' towards her. She was a simple-minded person when it came to matters of the heart so she once again ignored Li Lanfeng's' evil intentions'.
After half a year of cleansing, Ling Lan managed to get rid of all the people and factions that had evil intentions in Lord Gen's territory. Of course, this cleansing was a bloodbath.
The people who did this were Luo Lang, Zhao Jun, Tang Ningyu, and Mu Chaoran. The four of them were extremely powerful and ruthless so they quickly made a name for themselves in the Lawless Lands. Not long after, they were given the title of 'Four Heavenly Kings' by some busybodies.
Because no one knew the names of these four people, these busybodies came up with a unique name to replace them.
Heavenly King of Heavenly Kings (Luo), Heavenly King of Anger (Tang Ningyu) and Heavenly King of Laughter (Mu Chaoran).
All the lords of the factions in the Lawless Lands knew about these Four Heavenly Kings. They were the most trusted subordinates of the new Lord Gen. Although there were 10 guardians in the rainbow palace, they were still the previous Lord Gen's subordinates. If they wanted to gain the trust of the new Lord Gen, they needed time to express their loyalty. Currently, the only one that was trusted was Ji Ming. Even Yu Shangfei, who had submitted to the new Lord Gen from the start, was weaker than him.
At first, everyone thought that Yu Shangfei would definitely be unhappy and the two of them would fight in the dark. However, they didn't expect Yu Shangfei to take the initiative and listen to Ji Ming. This made the other guardians of the rainbow palace extremely surprised. It should be known that Yu Shangfei was the number one guardian during the previous Lord Gen's reign.
They didn't know that the reason why Yu Shangfei swallowed his anger was because he didn't have the confidence in front of Ji Ming. He betrayed Lord Gen too obviously. Although the new Lord Gen told him to redeem himself and didn't really punish him, this mistake caused him to lose Ling Lan's trust. If he wanted to turn this situation around, it would depend on his performance in the future.
In this situation where his status was unstable, how could Yu Shangfei still dare to do anything? Of course, he had to tuck his tail between his legs and keep a low profile.
However, the reason why the new and old factions of the rainbow palace were able to get along with each other without any conflicts was because the new Lord Gen didn't make any moves on the guardians, leaders and battle team leaders left behind by the previous Lord Gen. They were still in charge of their original duties and positions. He rebuilt a few powerful battle teams and let his trusted subordinates be in charge of them.
In terms of assigning tasks, the daily tasks were still handled by the elders. However, if he wanted to use his ruthless methods to intimidate the factions that were about to make a move, he would send out his trusted subordinates to deal with them.
Due to the young age of the four heavenly kings, when Ling Lan sent them out in the beginning, the other factions, including the 12 Lords, were all waiting for Ling Lan to make a fool of herself. They wanted to see Ling Lan fail and embarrass herself. However, they didn't expect that even though the four heavenly kings were young, their strength wasn't much weaker than those titled domain realm formidable warriors. Not only did they complete the mission Ling Lan gave them, but they also made their name known.
Originally, many people didn't think highly of the new Lord Gen. However, after seeing the performance of the four heavenly kings, they didn't dare to underestimate him anymore.
However, in the Lawless Lands, peace was only temporary. Soon, Ling Lan and the others welcomed their first battle. It came very suddenly.
"You're saying that the resources we transported from the port were stolen by Lord Li's men?" Ling Lan was stunned when she heard Ji Ming's urgent report.
Ji Ming nodded. "Looking at the time, it's about time for a battle royale."
Ji Ming's words made Ling Lan remember the document she had compiled a few days ago. She raised her eyebrows and said, "A small battle in March, a big battle in June and a big battle royale in a year?"
"Yes. A while ago, because of Lord Gen's appointment, our people were very restrained. Hence, the small battle in March didn't happen," Ji Ming replied.
"Then, this time, is it a big battle or a big battle royale?" Ling Lan wanted to ask clearly. After all, a big battle and a big battle royale were completely different. If she made a mistake, she would make the wrong decision.
"Thinking about it, it should be a big battle royale. But, Lord Gen, you just took over. I don't know what the other lords are thinking …" Ji Ming was also a little uncertain.
"A big battle is fighting with one side. A big battle royale is fighting with many sides." Ling Lan knocked on the armrest of the ice chair and quickly thought of a plan.
"Let's deal with it with a big battle first." At that moment, a gentle voice sounded behind her. It was Li Lanfeng, who had brought lunch to Ling Lan.
"Yes, let's try it first." Ling Lan felt that this was a safe method. She nodded and said with a cold expression, "Ji Ming, immediately bring the four guardians and the battle teams under them to the border battlefield. Let's have a good fight with Lord Li's men."
"Yes, Lord Gen," Ji Ming said excitedly. Without a doubt, this order meant that Lord Gen trusted him a lot. After all, he gave him the authority to command the battle teams. This was something that only his trusted subordinates could get.
Looking at Ji Ming's back as he left happily, Li Lanfeng retracted his gaze calmly. He turned and looked at Ling Lan and asked, "Is this person trustworthy?"
Li Lanfeng had left for quite a long time so he didn't know much about Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei. Also, Li Lanfeng was a suspicious person. Other than Ling Lan, he would always be suspicious of other people, let alone trust them.
"60% to 70% is enough," Ling Lan said calmly.
This was Ling Lan. She didn't need to trust people completely. She just needed to know how to use them well.
