Chapter 1864: Chapter 5: Yan Daiqing’s Scheme at the Northern Border
Yan Daiqing??
Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong both looked perplexed.
As soon as the name was mentioned, numerous cold and venomous schemes surged to mind. Both renowned generals, accustomed to the harsh wind and frost of the Northern, felt a chill at the back of their necks and couldn’t help but pay respect.
Xue Tianxing had yet to respond.
Yuan Shitong solemnly said, "Which Mr. Yan Daiqing might you be?"
The visitor smiled and replied, "Yan Daiqing of the Northern."
Astonished, Yuan Shitong scratched his head and glanced at Xue Tianxing, puzzled,
"Never heard of anyone named Yan Daiqing in the Northern."
Xue Tianxing sighed inwardly, simply cupped his fists in salute, and said, "As Mr. Wen Qingyu is here in person, we have already prepared wine and meat in the camp, Mr. Yan Daiqing, please!"
Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "General Xue, how did you know?"
Xue Tianxing took out a letter, saying, "The Flying Eagle passed the message over Wan Li, which is a letter personally written by Mr. Yan Daiqing." The letter stated that if the visitor claimed to be Yan Daiqing, there should be no doubt.
That was indeed Wen Qingyu.
The straightforward and reliable young man glanced at the letter, chuckled freely, and said, "Ah, this impostor dares to defame the real Yan Daiqing, indeed unreasonable! Hahaha."
Xue Tianxing thought for a moment and said, "Then, Mr. Yan Daiqing, please come into the camp to enjoy wine and meat."
Wen Qingyu smiled and entered.
The Northern is indeed bitterly cold, and the supplies cannot compare with the Central Plains or Jiangnan. Large chunks of pork and tenderly cooked cabbage and vermicelli simmer into a fragrant feast. The two toasted, and after a satisfying meal, Yuan Shitong sighed and said:
"Initially, we intended to lead the army south to join forces with Your Majesty, but that Jiang Su scoundrel, after capturing half of the Turkic, blocked our path."
"We’re stuck here by Ying Country, unable to go up or down, just lingering awkwardly. Now that you’re here, Mr., with your divine foresight, do you have any magic technique?"
Wen Qingyu took a sip of wine, smiling, and said, "That’s exactly why I came."
Wen Qingyu’s eyes lowered slightly.
During the first year of Emperor Qin, he and Stick Monk Thirteen went to the Academy hoping to invite some of the elders to Jiangnan. They failed, and knowing it was futile, Wen Qingyu had to reluctantly abandon the endeavor.
Those undying ones were still formidable.
Stick Monk Thirteen was asked if he could let go.
Determined after pondering his pain, he believed his telepathy could further improve.
The two young generations still went down.
Now, leveraging Mr. Lei’s all-powerful Flying Eagle from the prairie, they traversed for months, circumvented Ying Country’s border fortresses, and successfully joined Yuan Shitong outside the Northern Domain border.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lei had returned to Chen Country’s Beast Taming Manor sect.
The Manor’s chief was extremely worried, given the relentless global turmoil. Their sect’s prowess largely relied on Exotic Beasts, while other martial skills were average. Yet finding Exotic Beasts in this world was no easy task.
The Sect Leader was merely of Sixth Layer Heaven skill, relying on the sect’s Exotic Beast legacy, likely able to hold off ordinary Grandmasters of the martial world but powerless against those ruthless hands. Considering this chaotic era, he feared their sect might not survive.
Then came a saving grace with a thick sturdy thigh falling from the heavens.
The thigh’s hair was even thicker than that of the Exotic Beast Manor.
Mr. Lei, so meritorious and revered, was a master craftsman in the Qilin Army. He sent some cavalry to bolster their appearance, and when martial world figures heard the thunderous roar and saw a hundred cavalrymen clad in armor approaching with formidable aura, any threat seemed to dissipate against the Exotic Beast Manor easily.
Beast Taming Manor was taken aback.
What?! Emperor Qin’s Qilin Army is here?! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
What, he’s planning to conquer the martial world and has dispatched his veteran generals of the Qilin Army?! freёwebnovel.com
First, they thought Emperor Qin planned to conquer the martial world.
Then they realized their sect’s legacy had arrived!
What outside disciples?
These were their Sect’s foundations!
The adept manipulating Exotic Beast Manor Sect Leader almost wanted to sweep away the old folks’ memorial plaques on the table and elevate Mr. Lei to a patron saint position.
Mr. Lei wouldn’t act that way, instead respectfully offering incense to the Grandmasters.
Then proposed persuading the Exotic Beast Manor to join the Qilin Academy.
The Manor agreed without hesitation, transforming from the former martial world Exotic Beast Manor into a Qilin Academy sub-institution, co-branded with the Witchcraft Sect’s Beast Taming Branch, as peripheral branches within the Qilin Academy.
Becoming compulsory.
Qilin Academy disciples must select either Exotic Beast or Beast Taming as a compulsory course.
To avoid suffering losses when traversing the martial world.
This time, successfully conveying Wen Qingyu’s arrival, Yuan Shitong rejoiced, eager to discuss strategies against Ying Country supporting Central Plains and Emperor Qin, only for Wen Qingyu to smile and say: "General Yuan, no need to rush. A centipede dies but never stiffens, with Ying Country’s territory and population, these few hands of ours can hardly impact them significantly."
Yuan Shitong understood, but still, after another bite of stew, sighed, "Then what should we do?"
Worries aside.
But the food must not disappoint them.
They still had to eat.
Wen Qingyu said, "To conquer a vast land like Ying Country by force; not speaking of feasibility, it requires comparable legacy, enduring fierce battles, exchanging sacrifices, both paying a dear price, only then might success be achievable."
"Better to let them face their internal troubles."
"Let them kill themselves."
Yuan Shitong puzzled, "Kill themselves?"
