Chapter 62 Guigu Su Qin, the Call of the Martial Arts
"Your Highness, advancing at this time is no small matter; we must be wary of any traps set by the enemy."
"The monk suggested sending out spies first to understand the internal details of the princes of Dayong, so as to formulate a more precise strategy."
Yao Guangxiao twirled the prayer beads in his hand and slowly stepped forward.
"In addition, we also need to understand the distribution of troops and combat strength of the various princes of Dayong."
"Therefore, it is also necessary to send spies into Dayong to collect intelligence, and at the same time, use various channels to obtain information on the enemy's military movements and strategic intentions."
"This intelligence is crucial for us to formulate the right tactics in the future."
Yao Guangxiao paced slowly in the hall and spoke in a low voice.
"Furthermore, we must divide and weaken the princes of Dayong, exacerbate their internal conflicts, and even cause them to fight each other more fiercely."
"To a certain extent, this weakens the fighting force of the princes within Dayong, creating more favorable combat conditions for the Jiuxiao Army in Cangzhou and even Yunzhou."
Not to be outdone, Su Qin, standing to the side, offered his advice.
To my shame, I am a disciple of Guigu who has mastered the art of strategic maneuvering and domineering.
When Guiguzi was angry, the feudal lords trembled; when he lived in peace, the world was at peace.
This time, when he went down the mountain to find his wise lord, he did not offer any brilliant strategies in his first battle, which did not impress his lord.
They did not form alliances or manipulate the forces of several enemy countries.
Is it to fool a 16-year-old kid?
This is truly a disgrace to the disciples of Guigu.
"However, among the princes of Dayong today, only a few dare to raise an army in rebellion, which shows that there are very few mediocre rulers among them."
"They want to scheme against each other and sow discord among them."
"It requires a strategist of unparalleled wisdom."
Upon hearing Su Qin's suggestion, Yao Guangxiao revealed a predictable smile and said,
The words were loaded with meaning.
Ever since he learned of Su Qin's identity as a disciple of Guiguzi, Yao Guangxiao had been waiting for Su Qin to say those words.
Who could be more suited for this kind of thing than a disciple of Guiguzi?
However, this involves dancing among the princes of Dayong, and the danger is self-evident.
Therefore, Yao Guangxiao could not speak directly and could only wait for Su Qin to speak.
Upon hearing this, Su Qin was not angry at all, but rather overjoyed.
As a disciple of Guigu, and a top strategist with a basic intelligence of 99, he was a master strategist.
Wouldn't he see through Yao Guangxiao's plan?
Of course he could, but that would be exactly what he wanted.
Therefore, Su Qin decided to play along and worked in perfect harmony with Yao Guangxiao.
He roamed freely among the various vassal kings, looking down upon them with disdain, and remaining aloof among them.
This is what disciples of Guigu should do!
For example, I've been dealing with various low-level government affairs in Cangling City lately.
What kind of nonsense is that!
Is this something a proper disciple of Guigu should do?
"My lord, though I am unworthy, I am willing to share your burdens."
"Go to Dayong, divide the princes, and relieve the lord's worries."
With their tacit understanding, as soon as Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, Su Qin immediately stood up and bowed.
"This...this journey is fraught with danger. Are you truly determined to go yourself, sir?"
Seeing Su Qin volunteer, a hint of appreciation flashed in Su Ye's eyes.
In fact, Su Ye himself felt that this task was perfect for Su Qin.
However, as the head of the household, one still has to maintain appearances.
Otherwise, even if Su Qin was willing, he might not say it on the surface, but he would still have some resentment in his heart.
"Of course, my lord, this is Su Qin's responsibility as a statesman."
"To relieve my lord's worries and troubles, Su Qin has no choice but to do so!"
Su Qin smiled slightly and bowed to Su Ye.
"Jinyu thanks you for your kindness, sir, but this journey is fraught with danger. You must proceed with caution."
"Since you are a disciple of Guiguzi, I, Jinyu, will not interfere with your plans."
"But sir, please remember that your safety is always the top priority, regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not."
Seeing Su Qin's determined gaze, Su Ye bowed slightly to Su Qin below him.
"Thank you for your trust, my lord. Su Qin will do his utmost to complete the mission and live up to your expectations."
Su Qin bowed deeply to Su Ye at the head of the table, his voice resounding.
At this moment, a gentle breeze rustled through the willow trees in the courtyard, seemingly applauding Su Qin's determination and courage.
"Very well, please depart at a later date, sir."
"Jinyu will select a few bodyguards for you, sir."
Finally, Su Ye sighed softly and said to Su Qin, who was sitting below him.
Su Qin bowed and thanked his lord.
"My lord, I will report the good news of the mission's success to you once Su Qin returns!"
Su Qin, sitting to the left, bowed again to express his gratitude.
Then, he turned and strode confidently into the morning mist, beginning preparations for his departure.
While waiting, I'll also wait for the guards my lord has prepared for me.
Su Qin was a disciple of Guiguzi, not a disciple of a brute.
They naturally knew what kind of dangerous work they, the disciples of Guigu, were doing.
Being caught and subjected to a thousand cuts would be the least of your worries.
Su Qin had already made up his mind: if the guards chosen by his lord were not up to par...
He's going to have to use his own connections and choose people to protect him.
Although the disciples of Guigu are brave and seek thrills, they still value their own lives quite a bit.
"System, I want to summon a martial arts summoning card."
For Su Qin's personal bodyguards, no one is more suitable than a martial arts hero.
Furthermore, this martial arts bodyguard cannot be too weak; he must possess the ability to escape with Su Qin even when surrounded.
In this situation, it's clear that a martial arts practitioner at the early stage of the Celestial Realm couldn't have accomplished this.
Therefore, the martial arts figure that Su Ye summons next must be someone in the mid-to-late stage of the Celestial Realm.
If he fails to summon it this time, then Su Ye will have no choice but to ask Zhang Sanfeng for help.
Zhang Sanfeng himself certainly couldn't take action; the identity implanted in him was that of a famous Taoist master within the Great Qian Dynasty.
He has now settled in Kaishan, Cangzhou.
The moment he made his move, even a fool would know who the troublemaker behind Su Qin was.
"System, use that Martial Arts Celestial Summoning Card."
Su Ye looked at the Martial Arts Celestial Summoning Card he received as a reward for completing the side quest and gave the system a command.
"Ding! The Martial Arts Celestial Summoning Card is being used. The system will provide a list of five characters. Please remove two of them and summon one character randomly from the remaining three."
"Summoning in progress, please wait..."
"Ding! The number one martial arts master summoner, Evil King Shi Zhixuan, has reached the early stage of the Celestial Realm."
Ok?
The start was not good. Among the other summoning cards, Shi Zhixuan, with his Celestial Cultivation level, was already considered top-tier.
Moreover, judging from his strength at the early stage of the Celestial Realm, this indicates that this is the Evil King Shi Zhixuan at his peak.
But this is a Celestial Summoning Card!
His initial stage of Celestial Realm cultivation was only the bare minimum.
Shi Zhixuan is a character in "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", known as the "Evil King", who has a dual personality.
He is the leader of both the "Flower Sect" and the "Heaven-Mending Sect" within the Demonic Path.
A peerless master feared by both the world and the demonic sects, he once impersonated Pei Ju, a high-ranking official of the Sui Dynasty, to infiltrate the Sui Palace. He also held the identity of a virtuous and holy monk from Chang'an.
He created the "Immortal Seal Technique" and participated in the overthrow of the Sui Dynasty.
During this period, Shi Zhixuan used another identity to serve as an official, managing the Western Regions for the Sui Dynasty. In just a few years, he formed alliances and split the powerful steppe empire of the Turks in two, changing the weak situation of the Central Plains since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
During this period, Shi Zhixuan greatly developed the "Immortal Seal Technique," elevating it to a philosophical level and successfully overthrowing the Sui Dynasty.
