Chapter 65: Phoenix Letter, Xiao Deng Climbs the Wall

In this library, more than 300 entry-level martial arts books were lit up, as if there was a charm echoing, surrounding Li Guanyi. Xue Daoyong grinned, almost unable to hold back his laughter, patted the old servant next to him on the shoulder, and said, "Hahahaha, I won!"

The old servant said, "Your guess of ten is also wrong."

Xue Daoyong laughed out loud: "Closer than yours!"

He took a step forward and shouted, "Guan Yi, the first method must be the most compatible, don't be greedy, you need to take it step by step."

Li Guanyi agreed.

But there were too many martial arts methods here, and each one was like a peacock spreading its tail, trying hard to show its charm and brilliance, hoping to attract the young man's attention. Among them were martial arts methods from Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and various schools.

Opening the title page, each book has many changes written on it, with various methods, all of which seem to be extremely powerful.

The things that Xue Daoyong could put here definitely weren't just any ordinary martial arts techniques circulating in the martial arts world.

Common people are not qualified to enter here.

But because of this, it became an extremely difficult problem to select them. Li Guanyi naturally knew that he could not digest too much at once, so he simply searched through them and found the books that produced the clearest "piano sound" in his ears.

Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique

"The Wolf's Journey"

《Forged Golden Body by Thunder and Fire》

Just when he was about to look for it carefully, there was a sudden change. Along with the flowing light of spiritual charm, the image of the black tortoise, which had been imprinted on the bronze tripod and had not moved since, shook slightly. The inky black tortoise lay on Li Guanyi's shoulder, still very small, with golden patterns on the shell on its back.

The pattern looked like a tortoise shell burned in flames by a fortune teller, emitting different trajectories.

Li Guanyi actually understood the guidance of the patterns on the armor.

The benefit is in the West.

Li Guanyi let go of the "Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique" in his hand, and followed the guidance of the black turtle to a place, where he saw the name of their ancestor, General Xue, enshrined in the Xue family's attic. In front of this place of worship, there was a huge and ancient incense burner.

Li Guanyi took a look at that place and then looked at the black turtle.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

No, not really...

The black tortoise had already jumped off his shoulder and lay motionless on the incense burner.

With the satisfaction of finally finding something good.

The Black Turtle does not seem to be a fighting Dharma image. It is used to predict the celestial phenomena and avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

Li Guanyi thought about it, and when Xue Shen turned over the incense burner in front of him, he rubbed it. The heavy copper burner was opened with a click, and a small copper scroll was taken out of it. Li Guanyi saw a line of text on it.

[The law of disrespecting ancestors]!
Seems extremely angry.

On the other hand, it is two words.

【Great Goodness】!
Li Guanyi grinned, you are worthy of it.

General Xue is completely different from the number one in the world in the eyes of later generations. He is unrestrained and casual. Li Guanyi took the copper plate hidden in the incense burner and flipped through it. It recorded a set of skills called "Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique", which is a martial art to assist in practice after entering the country.

It cannot have the same powerful burst as the Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique.

He is not like Cang Langxing, who has extremely strong physical skills and endless internal energy.

This technique has only one characteristic.

[The warrior's physique is raised to a higher level, hidden injuries are cleansed, and hidden poisons are eliminated].

[For the last level, you need to seek assistance from the Donglu School of Stargazing. If you don’t have this opportunity, put this thing down].

Is it about Yaoguang...

Li Guanyi realized that this might be one of the gifts that the divine general prepared for the troubled times. Having three burrows is a basic quality for a general. Li Guanyi didn't know how many inheritances the divine general Xue had left for future generations.

He looked at the removal of the dark poison and pressed his chest.

The path guided by the black tortoise has never been wrong.

This is the most suitable technique for him.

It only involved Yaoguang. Li Guanyi just recorded the technique, put the copper plate back, and then chose "Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique", which was the Xue family's inherited martial arts. At the entry level, it could temper the arms and surpass other techniques in forging the body.

When the internal energy flows, it will leave a lingering force in the arms.

After each big cycle, you can accumulate and burst out an attack that exceeds the limit.

It perfectly fits the style of Xue family martial arts. It has strong explosive power, but its recovery speed is relatively slow. It aims for a short burst. Once the enemy gets close, it is also very powerful when holding heavy weapons. Xue Daoyong is very satisfied with his choice and laughed:

"Yes, with the power of my Xue family, it is enough to enter the country."

"It's powerful enough, but it has only one weakness, which is that it can't recover quickly enough."

"That part, our ancestors put it in the War Halberd Chapter."

"His battle spear moves are continuous. He doesn't just suppress his opponent with pure momentum. The combination of the two parts of his skills creates a magical skill that is unrivaled in explosive power and can quickly restore energy. It is not much inferior to the ten great martial arts of the Central Plains."

He knew that his martial arts was powerful, but it also had obvious weaknesses, so it could be considered a superior body, but not peerless. That was why the imperial court was relieved and said, "However, although this body has a slightly slower recovery rate, most opponents cannot withstand the burst of my Divine Bow Technique."

"Hold the divine bow and keep a long distance. The enemy won't survive until you need to recover."

"And if we use the burst of my Divine Bow Technique, the opponent will be fine, and even if he recovers his energy, he will be powerless to save the situation."

"Guan Yi, your fortune is good."

"When he travels around the world someday, maybe he can complete this technique. Who knows."

The old man comforted Li Guanyi and did not take these words to heart.

Li Guanyi held the "Divine Bow Technique". Xue Changqing and Miss Xue Shuangtao of the Xue family were both masters of this technique. Xue Daoyong personally taught Li Guanyi this internal skill. He was only restricted by the poison in his bones, but his comprehension ability was not weakened, and he also inherited the skills of a top martial artist.

After several days of hard work, he had learned the Divine Bow Technique.

All the internal energy in his body from "Breaking Formation Song" was transformed into "Divine Bow Technique". He was also practicing "Tiger Roaring Bone Tempering Technique" slowly. Li Guanyi could feel that the speed of his internal energy circulation was slowly increasing. Normally, he could circulate it three times in one stick of incense, but slowly he could circulate it four times in one stick of incense.

Recently he couldn't find old man Siming.

That Master Wang Tong never showed up either.

Li Guanyi probably knew that with the great master of mathematics coming here, Yue Qianfeng's first step was completed. Master Wang Tong, Old Man Siming, and the great man of Mohism should be contacting the bigwigs in Jiangzhou, the capital, to try to complete the last step and enter the stage of the capital.

The competition among various forces may have reached its peak in the dark, and Yue Qianfeng has never returned.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Guanyi. Spring is approaching, flowers are blooming, willow branches are drooping, and many men and women are out for an outing to enjoy the cool air. His birthday is approaching, and Li Guanyi practices bow, breathing, and halberd techniques every day. His life is fulfilling and simple.

However, Changsun Wuchou encountered some problems.

Later, the Golden-Winged Eagle delivered a letter, but unlike the past, it was not a letter.

Yes, two.

One of the letters was written directly to Li Guanyi.

Changsun Wuchou looked at the letter written to him, and was surprised to see that the Second Miss was going to pass the letter to Li Guanyi. Although the Second Miss had asked him to pay attention to the talented people in the world in the past, she had never written to him in person to communicate.

After thinking for a while, he invited Li Guanyi out for tea and reading, handed the letter to Li Guanyi, and said, "This is the second son of the Chamber of Commerce I belong to. After listening to Brother Li's poems, he was very interested, so he wrote to you to chat with you."

The second son of the Chamber of Commerce?
Is he the second son of the Duke of Ying State outside Longxi Pass?
Or is he really just the second son of the Chamber of Commerce?

Changsun Wuchou was holding a cup of tea and listening to people singing, smiling like a fox.

Li Guanyi opened the letter. After a simple greeting, the letter began to praise the young man's actions. As for his liking for the letter, it also said that it had shown Li Guanyi's views on the Western Regions, but he didn't know what he thought of the world.
Li Guanyi glanced at the flamboyant words on the letter, then looked up at Changsun Wuchou.

I looked at the words on the letter again, and the mention of the world in the words was like mentioning the jade on the table.

Changsun Wuchou smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Guanyi considered his words carefully and said, "You are very bold. You talked to me about these things in your letter when we first met..." Changsun Wuchou said, "That's because the Second Young Master really thinks that you, Guanyi, are talented."

"I am a businessman. Just like a rare commodity, I will naturally pay a high price for it."

"If it's convenient, you can reply. If you don't want to talk about this, you can decline."

The second son of the Duke of Ying State.

He is the absolute dignitary of Ying State. Now Ying State occupies the Central Plains and a vast area, and is the most powerful country in the whole world. After Li Guanyi and his aunt leave Chen State, they will also go to Ying State. It is not a bad thing to make friends with the top dignitaries of Ying State.

Rather, Li Guanyi hopes that he will live a better life in the future.

How should I respond to a person like this, of this age, and with this demeanor?
You can answer the other party without leaving any trace of evidence.

Li Guanyi ground the ink and finally had an idea. He picked up the pen and wrote a line of words on the white paper. Changsun Wuchou looked at him from this independent room and saw that the line of words written by the young man was as heavy and calm as a rock.

[The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity].

Li Guan put down his pen.

He folded the letter and handed it to Changsun Wuchou without saying anything more.

Changsun Wuchou's eyes twitched and he sighed in his heart.

Knowing that with the Second Young Lady's temperament, these twelve words carry more weight than a hundred gorgeous poems and essays, and will be more likely to attract her attention.

Are all the heroes in the world so young already?
Sure enough, the Golden-winged Eagle came back the next day.

The returning eagle was bigger than ordinary eagles, with full wings and red marks on its golden feathers. It was the most outstanding among eagles, or in other words, it was no longer an eagle, but a roc with golden wings.

A strange beast that could travel thousands of miles a day, with claws as hard as gold and iron that could crush a horse's skull like rotten tofu. It could hover over the desert, grab a warrior in armor, and then throw him to death on a cliff. The Turkic king demanded ten thousand taels of gold and a hundred thousand cattle and sheep, but he was not able to buy it back.

Using the golden-winged roc to deliver a message is too extravagant, but it also shows how much the second young lady values ​​it.

Changsun Wuchou sighed.

Feeling that he had become the middleman between the two sides, the talented businessman had no choice but to stay at the Xue family with a thick face and not go out. After giving the letter to Li Guanyi this time, the second young master directly began to discuss some specific matters with Li Guanyi in the letter.

It does not involve any disputes, but rather talks about heroes and battles in history.

Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows.

Why do I need to make up for the missed lessons after leaving General Xue?
However, the insights of the young man thousands of miles away were also extremely sharp and had a unique edge, which surprised Li Guanyi. During this communication, Li Guanyi understood more and more of what General Xue taught him, and he even had his own understanding.

Another day, the letter was delivered. Li Guan put down his halberd and read the contents of the letter.

"The Chen army is restraining its front and encircling Yue Qianfeng. Tuyuhun is making a move and is invading Southern Chen. The battle line is lengthening. The Dangxiang people and Tuyuhun have a blood feud. According to your plan, what should we do now?"

When Changsun Wuchou looked at the letter, his pupils contracted.

This time, the communication is no longer a fictional situation.

This is the Western Region at this moment!
Thousands of miles away from Guanyi City, where the weather was calm and people had already started to enjoy the cool air, the Tuyuhun, who had been preparing for war, marched southward with the intention of invading the flat inland plains of the Chen State and turning the granaries there into their own pastures. The Dangxiang people were so blood-vengeful that they could hardly contain themselves.

The famous generals of Ying State were balancing the Turks.

The seven Turkic kings suddenly left the center of the grassland and no one knew where they went.

While the Central Plains was peaceful and prosperous, the Western Regions were harbouring sharp swords.

In another letter to Changsun Wuchou, the second young master's own strategy was written, divided into the best strategy and the peace strategy, and Changsun Wuchou was asked to see what Li Guanyi wrote. Changsun Wuchou looked at Li Guanyi and found that he was calm this time. Then he turned around and looked at himself, saying:

"Is the Western Region so chaotic now?"

Changsun Wuchou was shocked.

Did he see it? !

He was worried that the young man in front of him was from the State of Chen and was loyal to the emperor of Chen, and would throw down his pen in anger.

But he saw Li Guanyi picked up the pen and started writing.

"We have this opportunity, we must not act. The strategy we used before, when Tuyuhun was mobilized and was held back by the Chen State and the Dangxiang people, was to send out elite troops to cut off the enemy from the middle. This strategy is ultimately insufficient. If it were me..."

He paused and said, "Now, I would consider that my opponent also has a famous general."

"They will prevent their supply lines and their armies from being cut off."

"There will be a general leading the army to protect the formation."

"However, it would be better to pretend to attack the enemy in the open and harass their guards. In secret, a general led 800 light cavalrymen. Instead of attacking the enemy army, they took a small path and went straight into the king's tent of Tuyuhun. Their intention is to invade the south, and they are on guard against their own army being interrupted and mutinous. If they are ambitious, they might as well take the king's tent directly!"

Changsun Wuchou's tense heart relaxed.

This was the plan of his second son, dangerous, yet as heroic as she was.

Then he saw that Li Guanyi did not stop and continued to write, and what he wrote was different from what the fourteen-year-old Second Young Master wrote now.

"Then we will execute their kings and princes, but not plunder their land."

"Take all their cattle, horses, military provisions, gold, silver, ironware, and people and return home."

"Declare defeat to the outside world."

“If you haven’t got the place, don’t seek fame.”

"Store up food and wait for fame. The world has become so corrupt. Wait for changes. This is what we will do..."

Li Guanyi stopped writing, put the pen down, pointed to the previous strategy, and said:
"This last sentence is my best strategy."

Changsun Wuchou was frozen, staring at the record of storing up grain, slowly calling out names, and waiting for changes, as if he saw the world in turmoil, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, then he raised his head and looked at the thirteen-year-old boy, as if he saw the terrifying figure of a military advisor behind the boy.

His eyes were cold, and he could see through the general trend of the world.

That is not a military strategist, but a national strategist!

Had he ever seen such a tactic before?

No, there has never been such a battle in the world. It was...himself?

Zhang Sun Wu Chou held the letter in both hands, as if he was holding up a heavy object, and said:

"Thank you very much. I will learn from you."

Li Guanyi let out a breath. His past knowledge gave him a natural strategic vision in certain special situations. There was nothing new under the sun. But in this case, leaving the State of Chen might also be helpful.

At this moment, the young man just wanted to establish a good relationship between himself and his aunt.

During the night of that day, the golden-winged Peng bird flapped its wings and left here, and above the sky.

When Li Guanyi was practicing with his halberd at night, he suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere. He looked up and saw that the White Tiger Stars had become a little brighter than before. His own White Tiger form suddenly appeared, looking up at the tranquil sky.

It seemed as if something indescribable existence fell from the night sky and was absorbed by the white tiger.

"Huh? Who?!"

Li Guanyi suddenly felt a breath of air. With a sharp look in his eyes, he turned around and looked towards -

corner.

Another head popped up on the wall.

Sima Ming?

No!

Li Guanyi opened his eyes wide and saw a head popping out of the high wall like a carrot. The head was wearing a hood, with silver hair at the temples slightly raised and tilted.

Answer to Li Guanyi’s question:
"I."
