Ashina was silent and said, "Is it the Qi Nourishing Powder bottle once every seven days for those under thirteen?"
Mr. Lei stroked his chin and said, "Strictly speaking, not quite."
"How is this different from Hou Zhongyu’s version of the elixir recipe? In our sect, where do we find such a good formula? It’s all quite poor. Ah, thinking about it like this, I truly envy these little brats. Haha, back then we didn’t have this opportunity!"
"Later, we t Lord in the Martial World, and that’s how we have today."
Ashina sighed heavily and said, "However, with Brother Lei’s techniques, you could be called a Great Grandmaster of Beast Taming. It’s also a fortune for the king to have you all."
Mr. Lei laughed and said, "Is it so? According to what Seventh Prince said, we are Great Grandmasters of Beast Taming, but do you know how to obtain allegiance from these so-called Great Grandmasters in this chaotic world?"
Ashina said, "I would like to hear the details."
Mr. Lei took a sip of wine, with a hint of nostalgic smile, and answered drunkenly:
"During the sumr of the Tenth Year of Tianqi, near a small town by Zhenbei City, find three Martial Artists caught for petty theft, then release them and welco them into your team."
"Then entrust them with the logistics of the team, equivalent to handing over the lives of the Wandering Army in their hands, giving them your utmost trust, and sharing life and death together — even if one was previously an unscrupulous Martial Artist who targeted you."
"All the way defeat General Yuwen Hua’s army at Zhenbei City, then through the siege by Chen Country, over a journey of ten thousand miles."
"Entrust gold, silver, ti, trust to that thirty-sothing-ti unsuccessful wandering Martial Artist, to let him dream the unbelievable, daydream-like dreams, to waste and fail, yet not bla him."
"Then, seven years later."
"It’s now."
He patted Ashina’s shoulder; Mr. Lei’s eyes were bright as he softly said:
"I can die for Lord, Seventh Prince, we all can."
A man dies for a bosom friend.
This saying is by no ans cheap.
Mr. Lei nudged Ashina, since he ca here, he should set his heart at ease.
Ashina was quiet for a while, sighing: "Really, it’s enviable."
But he didn’t know which side he was envying.
He could feel that beneath the seemingly peaceful surface of Heavenly Strategy Mansion, there was so tension, as if sothing big was coming. Unfortunately, as a surrendered general, he had yet to truly enter the core of Heavenly Strategy Mansion and understand this level of strategy.
During the festive period, he could co here; after the celebrations, Ashina would return to the Western Regions.
His son recently seed to dislike the style of the giant of the Mo School.
He chose to follow Great General Fan Qing, a trusted aide of Prince Qin.
Ashina did not consider this a problem, he just felt at ease.
In Xiyi City, the hidden storms were growing more intense, the Turkic Jue Grassland, after receiving so territory, imdiately made a stable retreat, unwilling to join this enormous vortex, and now the tension lay between Chen Country and Ying Country.
Li Zhaowen in Xiyi City was a bystander.
Perfectly implented Lu Youxian’s strategy.
Build city walls, armor over.
The world was turbulent, sothing seed about to happen.
But nobody knew what it was, nor when it would begin to erupt; this feeling was like a sword hanging overhead, pointing at one’s brow, knowing it would fall, yet not knowing when it would fall.
Ashina felt an unspeakable pressure.
Yet living in this chaotic world, he had no choice of his own.
Only able to gallop across the expanse, fighting on his path.
It was springti, sunny March, the finest days in Jiangnan.
Prince Qin, Li Guanyi, brought a pot of wine, a plate of osmanthus cake, and a dish of drunken spring crab to visit General Yue Pengwu. The two competed for a while, with the roars of the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd and Li Quan Divine Spear resonating all around, before finally drinking together.
Yue Pengwu looked at the young man in front of him, with appreciation in his eyes, and said:
"Your martial skills are becoming more refined, and in this world, there are few who could be your opponents."
"The first ti I saw you was during the Tenth Year of Divine Revelation, wasn’t it?"
"Yes, the Tenth Year of Divine Revelation; speaking of Chen Country, it would be the Thirteenth Year of Taihe."
Li Guanyi smiled and said, "I was thirteen back then, a very young mber of the Imperial Guard."
Yue Pengwu said, "Now you are twenty, and I have passed forty. Ti flies and is always ruthless." He took a sip of wine and said, "However, regarding your strategies against Chen Country, I have an idea."
Li Guanyi said, "Please speak, General Yue."
Yue Pengwu, with a steady gaze, said, "May I also be the blade edge?"
"As a man in the world, having to quell the tyrant, how could one with martial arts sit in the rear, yet make you personally take the field to kill the enemy?!"
Li Guanyi said, "General Yue should remain in the rear to maintain stability; moreover, the feigned attack is a responsibility that Old General Yue and Wen Mian must also take."
Yue Pengwu was sowhat speechless and thought about the battles to settle the world.
This ti our Lord was charging even faster, even fiercer than .
What should be said to this?
Yue Pengwu was about to say sothing, but Prince Qin urged him to hurry up and drink and eat.
Stating that as Lord, how could this matter be personally attended to?
Prince Qin simply urged to eat; this dish is indeed excellent.
Saying the body of a thousand gold does not sit beneath a canopy; how could one enter the situation personally?
Prince Qin just laughed and scratched his head, saying today the wine is indeed just wine.
Interrupted twelve tis in a row, unwilling to let Yue Pengwu say his piece about him charging as the main force; Yue Pengwu was left helpless, and finally, after finishing a pot of wine, said, "Lord, are you going to Guan Yi City?"
