C497 The war was about to start!
"Wu Gang?! I hope you won't disappoint me! " Gongsun Ztian muttered to himself.
In Gongsun Ze Tian's heart, there was an intense desire for his opponent. Although he looked calm and indifferent, there was also a fighting spirit in him, even a spirit that refused to admit defeat.
Gongsun Zaitian took out a tea set and elegantly took out the tea, the water, the tea, the tea, as if there was only tea in his world.
This was the so-called 'One Flower, One Leaf, One Bodhi'. With Gongsun Zaitian's current spiritual realm, he could easily enter into the 'Tranquil Zen' realm that only the almighty Buddhist powers could.
This was a process of epiphany. Everything in the world could be comprehended by others. For example, 'Perfection like Water' could soak everything in water and nourish all living things. This was a type of enlightenment!
As for Gongsun Ze Tian, he was currently immersed in the Way of Tea. This was also a form of enlightenment. However, only Gongsun Ze Tian himself knew what he had comprehended from it.
"Marshal, we've only separated not too long ago ?" Lei Sheng bellowed from far away.
"Old Lei!" "Hold on!" Just as he opened the curtain, Situ Qingyun hurried to stop him.
"What's wrong?" Lei Sheng did not understand, and turned to Situ Qingyun as he asked puzzledly.
"You really can't go in now!" An elderly voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.
"Greetings, Great Elder!" The two of them turned and saw that the one who spoke was Great Elder Cui, so they bowed and greeted him.
"The marshal has entered a very delicate mental state! We can't disturb him! " The Great Elder Cui explained.
"A delicate mental state?" The two of them asked at the same time.
"Yes, you may not know it yet, but whether it is the illusionist or the warriors, after their cultivation increases to a certain extent, they will need the assistance of an increase in their spirit realm. And an increase in spirit realm is not simple, it requires continuous comprehension. "So you all must not disturb the Marshal!" The Great Elder Cui gave a rare explanation about a bunch of things.
"Great Clan Elder, this is not right! Although both Qing Yun and I had average cultivation base, we could still be considered half martial cultivators! How come we've never heard of such things? " Lei Sheng asked, puzzled.
"That's because you haven't come into contact with her yet! When your cultivation enters rank 8, you will understand the importance of mental states! At that time, even if they have to stop their cultivation, they will use all their energy to raise their mental state and cultivation. This will require a moment of enlightenment to enhance their own body! " Cui Ziyi casually said as he looked at Gongsun Zaitian who was in the tent with a pleased expression.
"So the marshal has already reached the eighth level?" Situ Qingyun also asked. He knew Gongsun Ze Tian's true age, how could a child that was five years old reach level 8. This was too sensational.
"Otherwise, this kid's cultivation method is very strange. Although he has not reached rank 8, he can train in the mental aspect earlier. This is a type of luck, and also a type of opportunity!" This is very rare! " Great Elder Cui shook his head and replied.
"Then we'll wait here now?" Lei Sheng asked.
"If you want to wait, then wait. This old man will not accompany you any longer!" This sort of sudden enlightenment could be long or short, or it could be short or fast! "When it grows up ?" Great Elder Cui gloated.
"..." Situ Qingyun and Lei Sheng looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know whether to wait or leave. After all, the Marshal had summoned two people, so he couldn't just turn around and leave, right? He was not giving the marshal any face at all! But waiting wasn't an option either!
"Qing Yun!" Why don't we go back and wait for a while? " Lei Sheng suggested in a small voice.
"I think we should wait a bit!" Presumably, even the Marshal would not take long! " Situ Qingyun replied in disapproval.
"I can only do that, I still have a bunch of things to take care of!" "With this skill, I might as well..." Lei Sheng muttered.
Just as Situ Qingyun and Lei Sheng were talking, a calm voice suddenly sounded, as if it was whispering in his ear.
He heard the voice say, "Is it Third Uncle and General Lei?"
"Greetings, Marshal!"
"You are both my elders, there is no need to be so polite in private!" Gongsun Ztian greeted the two of them with a smile.
"Marshal ?"
"Alright, uncle, you don't have to be so polite. Come over and sit! Taste my tea! " Gongsun Ztian personally scalded the tea cup and then poured tea for the two of them.
"I say, what are you trying to hide!" Lei Sheng was not polite either and sat down on his horse. Then, he started to ask directly from the top of his head.
"This matter can now be discussed with the two of you!" Gongsun Ze Tian didn't hide anything. He first took a sip of fragrant tea and then slowly said.
"Marshal, do you have any other plans?" Situ Qingyun seemed to have caught onto something as he asked.
"You think that I brought a hundred thousand man team just for a single Wu Gang?" Gongsun Ztian retorted with a question.
"What is the real purpose of the marshal?" Situ Qingyun asked in confusion.
"Northern border!" Gongsun Ze Tian said resolutely.
"What do you mean?" Lei Sheng asked.
How did a 'bandit' operation heading north involve the border? Was there going to be a border war?
"If Wu Gang appears in Blood Jade Valley with his team, it means that he has been abandoned by Ninth Prince. Other than Wu Gang's team, that Ninth Prince definitely has other hidden powers, he cannot possibly put all his eggs in the same basket!" Gongsun Zaitian nodded his head and explained.
"Then what do you mean ??" Situ Qingyun continued to ask.
"After this battle with the Blood Jade Valley, I'm afraid we will directly head north! I hope we can catch them in time! " Gongsun Ze Tian finished the cup of tea in one gulp and then said.
"Won't they just hide on the spot?" Lei Sheng shook his head and asked, he felt that the possibility of this happening was very high!
"No matter how secretive they are, they still need to eat and drink. With tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, just the supply alone is a huge problem!" Furthermore, since Surveillance Council already knew of this news, how could she ignore it? If the Surveillance Council were to intervene in this matter, no matter how they hide or hide, it would be useless in the slightest. Gongsun Ztian explained!
"According to the temper of this prince, it's really as Marshal Haotian said! I'm afraid that his men will be evacuated from the empire at the very first moment, and the closest route is to the north! " Situ Qingyun thoughtfully nodded his head.
"So our next mission is not going to be easy!" A long journey was not easy! This is a test of everyone's endurance and stamina! " Gongsun Ztian said with a sigh.
"I trust our boys! They could do it! But even if we rush to Northern border, but ? " Lei Sheng patted his chest as he promised her.
"Rest assured, you can't fight tiredness. I am clear on this point!" I won't let us be so passive! " Gongsun Ztian nodded as he replied.
"Does the marshal have a plan?" Situ Qingyun asked.
"There are, but it is not comprehensive enough. There is a serious lack of information, and the border is too long. We can't lock onto the location of the escape!" Gongsun Zaitian replied.
"Then why did you call the two of us here today?" Situ Qingyun knew that his nephew was definitely not the type of person who liked to find stuff to do. All of his arrangements had a purpose.
"Blood Jade Valley's side won't be too hard to deal with. I'm mainly worried about Northern border, especially worried that he will take the opportunity to make his move! This is the latest intelligence, it says that Profound Nether Empire has signs of redeploying troops, but at the moment, there are no signs of them going south to knock down the pass, but we have to be on guard! " Gongsun Ze Tian said with a serious expression.
"There's actually such a thing?" Hearing these words from Gongsun Ze Tian, the two of them stood up from their seats in shock. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Gongsun Ze Tian in disbelief.
The appearance of an informal private army in the country was already shocking. Now that it was involved in a border dispute, it was no longer a matter of internal power. It had escalated to a dispute between countries and could very possibly lead to a great war!
"That's right!" It was a little tricky! So, I hope that Third Uncle can immediately head north to guard the borders to prevent the Profound Nether Empire from making trouble! " Gongsun Zaitian nodded. No matter if it was his expression or his words, he was still calm. It was as if such a big thing was not a big thing for him.
"Then is it possible that the Profound Nether Empire is colluding with the Prince?" Situ Qingyun asked.
"The possibility isn't high. It's possible to leak information, but there's no way we'll collude with each other!" Gongsun Ztian said with certainty.
"Why is that?" Lei Sheng asked.
"This force is the prince's most important trump card, will he give his trump card to others? This is obviously impossible! " Gongsun Ztian explained.
"What is the marshal going to do with this army?" Situ Qingyun paused for a bit, and then asked.
"Those who are stubborn will be put to death on the spot. Those with repentant hearts will be disrupted and reorganized!" Gongsun Ze knew that his third uncle didn't want to kill too much. However, there were some things that others couldn't decide.
Sometimes, they would rather kill the wrong person than let him off. This wasn't necessarily a ruthless method. Besides, Gongsun Zaitian did not want to cause too much bloodshed. However, those loyal people could not be left alive. If they were to stay, it would only end up as a disaster.
War! He was going to die anyway! His heart was kind and he couldn't control the troops. Even if he hadn't said it himself, Third Uncle would have probably understood it in his heart.
"If I can capture him for my own use ?!" Situ Qingyun tried his best to explain, not because he wanted to kill, but because he wanted to leave some life force behind for the empire!
After all, these soldiers only had different affiliation with each other, they were only following orders and had a certain military base. If these people could form an army, then they would be able to give the Honglong Empire a strong power.
"Better not to mess around! Unless the Ninth Prince fell! Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome for these people to use them! " Gongsun Zaitian did not want to discuss this topic any further, so he explained in an indifferent manner.
"Sigh, what a pity that there are so many sons of empires here!" Situ Qingyun sighed and said, while Lei Sheng was at the side feeling a bit sad.
The two of them knew that Gongsun Ze Tian had the intention to kill!
