C331 Conspiracy and Soldiers

The moon was dim and the night was intoxicating. The dim moonlight shone with a pure white light. Although it could not illuminate the entire land, it could still drive away a small part of the darkness.

Since ancient times, the moonlight was the most alluring. It could not capture a person's figure, but it could pierce the heart. This was also the reason why poetry from ancient times to the present always liked to look up 45 degrees at night.

But every time, Gongsun Ztian would never understand. Could the moon see a rabbit? Did he really think that there would be a big man who chopped down trees and a delicate woman? However, other than the hole on the wall, there was nothing else! Not even a drop of water could be seen, much less a tree!

Cui Ziyi saw that Gongsun Ze Tian was always looking up at the moon in a daze, so he couldn't help but ask: "I say, why are you looking up at the moon amongst all the kids? You can see the moon every day, but haven't you seen enough of it? Just look at it, can you see a flower? "

"The old man is wise, but I'm actually counting the cons!" Gongsun Ze Tian shook his head. He still maintained his 45 degree angle and looked up at the moon in the sky. He didn't even glance at Cui Ziyi as he explained in a serious tone.

"..." When Cui Ziyi heard his words, he fell silent on the spot. Some people said 'One sees the moon as home', some said 'One sees the moon as people', and some even said 'Drinking well with the moon, drinking until one is drunk everyone is drunk'. In short, all of these were role models of romance and gentleness. Where did this hole in the moon come from?

Actually, he did not know that Gongsun Zaitian's so-called 'counting hole' was just an excuse. The real reason why he was looking up at the sky was because his entire spine was aching from the galloping horses over the past few days, especially at the back of his neck where there was an indescribable tiredness and soreness. Only by raising his neck could he feel slightly comfortable, so Gongsun Zaitian was able to maintain this strange riding posture.

After walking for more than an hour, the troop had reached the limit of their stamina. It was obvious that their marching speed had decreased.

"How far is it from Surveillance Council's army base?" Gongsun Ztian calculated in his heart before turning his head to the nearby Third Uncle and asked.

To tell the truth, in such a dark and desolate place, especially in such a desolate mountain, it would be difficult to determine one's direction and location if one wasn't familiar with the terrain.

Fortunately, they were located in the heart of the empire, and they weren't afraid of anyone raiding their army. The troops of the fifth division had already crossed the road for them, and although this mountain road didn't change its twisting nature, it was still much easier compared to other mountain roads.

Situ Qingyun called a scout horse, and after the two of them whispered for a while, Situ Qingyun led the horse to Gongsun Zaitian's side. He first cupped his hands in greeting towards the Chief Elder, and after the latter nodded in return, he said to Gongsun Zaitian: "I reckon we will arrive in another fifteen kilometers!"

"Third Uncle, the soldiers will rest for an hour at the same time!" After half an hour, Cavalry will advance at full speed, and the infantry will slow down to follow suit, so we must reach there by noon tomorrow. " Gongsun Ze Tian secretly thought for a while before giving the command to his third uncle.

"Alright, I'll inform the others right away!" Situ Qingyun led his horse and turned to leave.

Seeing how Situ Qingyun was so convinced of this brat's ability, Cui Ziyi could not help but be confused. He had to admit that this brat had some skills in martial arts, but that did not mean that he knew everything right! Regarding the matter of leading the troops, this Great General Situ actually listened to his arrangements, which seemed to be inconceivable!

Cui Ziyi stopped his horse as well and stopped beside Gongsun Ze Tian, turning his head to size him up. He had to admit, this kid was indeed a little special, simply his brilliant 'disguise technique' that no one could detect made Cui Ziyi exclaim in shock, after all, ordinary disguise techniques could only change one's appearance, but not body form. Not only had this kid changed his appearance and body form, his voice was also the same as an adult's.

"You brat, tell me the truth. Do you know how to march, fight, and arrange troops?" Cui Ziyi looked suspiciously at Gongsun Zaitian, calmly bringing up the question in his heart.

"I don't dare to say 'I understand'. I only know the basics!" Gongsun Ztian shook his head as if he was missing something, as though he was recalling something. After pondering for a while, he answered with a wry smile.

The reason why Gongsun Zaitian understood all of this was not because of anyone's advice in this life, nor was it because he had read books. It was because he had been reincarnated a hundred times, and had been trained on the battlefield.

Since ancient times, every general had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. No one was an exception. The battle between the two armies was not as simple as a group battle between dozens of people. It was a battle between two armies, and it was not as simple as a group battle between dozens of people.

And war was a sad and beautiful picture scroll created with blood. In this picture scroll, who could say that they were 'proficient' or 'understood'? Most likely, every single one of them would be the best in a single phase or battle. They might not be as lucky as the rest of their lives. Wasn't there a saying? A general would inevitably die on the battlefield! Therefore, Gongsun Zaitian did not dare to say that he himself 'understood'. He could only say that he knew a thing or two!

"Hmph, you know something? Who are you trying to fool? What was Situ Qingyun's identity? He was one of the Empire's Five Great Generals, standing guard over the north all year round, preventing the Profound Nether Empire from advancing further! Furthermore, I know Situ Qingyun's character, if he is not completely confident, would he dare to put his army under your command? Just based on this point alone, it's not something that can be fooled with just a simple 'little bit of knowledge'! " Cui Ziyi scoffed, unrestrainedly exposing Gongsun Zaitian.

Cui Ziyi clearly misunderstood the meaning of Gongsun Zaitian's words. He thought that Gongsun Zaitian was hiding his strength and boasting that he was ordinary, but in reality, he had a lot of methods. To put it nicely, this was called 'modesty', to put it crudely, this was called 'pretentious', to say that it was' vulgar ', to say it bluntly, this was' shameless'!

"That's because he's my third uncle!" Gongsun Ze Tian explained to Cui Ziyi. He didn't care whether or not he really had to make a move on this reason.

Regardless of whether or not Gongsun Ze Tian believed his reasoning, at the very least, Cui Ziyi did not believe him at all. He said to Gongsun Ze Tian with a look of disdain: "It's true that he's your Third Uncle, but he's also an extremely famous general in the empire. If he can place these warriors in your hands, that's the same as placing his own life in your hands. Without a special assurance, do you think your third uncle would act so rashly? I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death.

"Third Uncle is only trying out my ability. If I can't do it, he will be the top, at least he won't cause any problems for me behind my back!" He also knew that this excuse was somewhat awkward. However, since he had already said it, and changed his reasoning, the other party would think that his excuse was fake. Thus, Gongsun Ze Tian didn't care if he believed it or not, and randomly made it up. Of course, the best defense he had was offense. At the end of the sentence, Gongsun Ze Tian did not forget to fight Cui Ziyi one on one.

"Are you referring to us, the mulberry trees and the locust trees? It means that this old man has gotten in your way? " How could Cui Ziyi not understand the hidden meaning behind Gongsun Ze Tian's words? He pretended to be angry and asked.

"How would I dare, but ?" Gongsun Ze Tian answered with a smile, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Cui Ziyi.

"This old man will tell you, don't even think about it, don't think about it, this old man can't help you with this, and even though not many people know about the competition between you and Lei Sheng, any person who comes out and knows about this will have a huge background, and they are all paying attention to the results, do you think that is a matter of someone leaving after patting their butts?" So, if you have difficulties, you want to compete. If you don't have difficulties, you want to compete. "None at all!" Cui Ziyi righteously spoke to Gongsun Ze Tian. The certainty and decisiveness in his voice was obvious, as he was most likely warning Gongsun Ze Tian not to set his eyes on Cui Ziyi, and at the same time not to think about escaping.

"Old Master, if I had known earlier that it would be so troublesome to get involved with your Surveillance Council, I wouldn't have come even if I were beaten to death!" From the start, he had never intended to hide it from anyone. If he was determined to hide it from others, not many people in the world would be able to see through it. Of course, his thoughts were still unable to escape from Leng Nuohan's eyes.

When he thought of Leng Nuohan, Gongsun Ze Tian's heart grew warmer and more agitated. Even now, he still did not know where she was. Not a clue. This caused Gongsun Zaitian, who always had his wits about him, to be at a loss of what to do.

"Brat, it's too late. Obediently accept your fate!" Cui Ziyi gloated.

"Old man, I want to ask you a question!" Gongsun Ztian did not reply. Instead, he gave Cui Ziyi a strange smile before suddenly asking a question.

"Speak!" The old man was in a good mood. He didn't know why, but as long as he saw that Gongsun Ze Tian had been humiliated, he would be in a good mood.

"After I become the Principal of Surveillance Council, can I spank Lei Sheng?" Gongsun Ze Tian asked after thinking for a while.

"That will depend on whether you have the ability to do so!" Cui Ziyi had thought that Gongsun Zaitian would ask some difficult questions, but who would have thought that it would be such an unreasonable question?

"Oh, then I better not be the principal!" Gongsun Ztian said with a downcast tone before his head also drooped down, as if he was utterly disappointed in something.

"You can hit other people's butts, for example ?" Cui Ziyi knew that Gongsun Zaitian was thinking weird, so he said half jokingly to him.

"Like you?" Gongsun Ze Tian didn't wait for Cui Ziyi to finish speaking and quickly continued.

"I think your butt is itchy, right? Do you want me to take a look? " Cui Ziyi shouted angrily as he pointed at Gongsun Ze Tian.

"Forget I said anything!" Gongsun Zaitian hurriedly shrunk his neck, tightened his grip on Chrysanthemum as he acknowledged his defeat.
