Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It seed that General Li only had one expression etched onto his face; he looked troubled like he had been caught between a rock and a hard place. "Young Master Yun, giving way is of no concern, but His Highness, the crown prince…"
Yun Yang replied impatiently, "This will have nothing to do with you! I promise on behalf of Hen Bieli that he will not find fault with you in the future! As for His Highness, I'll explain all this to him myself, and it will still have nothing to do with you. Is this acceptable?"
He then snorted and said, "If he dares to say anything about it, he can co to directly!"
The last line was delivered with an incredibly overwhelming aura.
General Li did not look any more relieved than he was before. Sighing, he finally waved his hand with no small amount of hesitation. "Lower your bows and arrows! Give way!"
Hen Bieli howled and spoke coldly, "It will be enough to lower the bows and arrows! I dare not walk the path indicated by His Highness!"
Before his words echoed in the air, he sprung into the sky and cried out, "Let's go!"
Hong Zhan and the others tailed closely behind him. The five n flew into the sky like five rocs, zooming away, headed towards the city's southern quadrant. The five of them converged into a single stream, looking like a thunderbolt as they passed through. The long trail that was left in the sky was formidable, its aura frightening.
Hen Bieli's group of five was not only comprised of the masters of assassination, but they were also top notch cultivators of the current era. Although Yun Yang had only won a mont of respite for them, the damages they had suffered were relatively limited; it was mostly energy exhaustion. While they could not recover their pinnacle combat power despite replenishing most of their energy, it was not a problem for them to perform a high-velocity escape, with the short break they had.
The quintet's voice ca from afar, "Young Master Yun, the world is vast - allow us to repay your favor in the future! From today onwards, we shall not harm even a hair of Young Master Yun and anyone under the care of Young Master Yun. Should you have any instructions for us, pass the ssage in the martial world - we shall follow through, even if it ans dying a thousand deaths!"
The voices grew farther but more intense. They eventually roared like a thunder that drumd above Tiantang City.
There were no more martial world n remaining in the city's east that were now in ruins. General Li and a few of his subordinates who had been wearing a troubled look since they appeared exchanged a glance with Yun Yang, both sides wearing a aningful smile.
The unsettled expression was no longer plastered on their faces!
Yun Yang spoke to the general, "Is the person who arranged your mission fine?"
This was the last test. The cooperation this ti was flawless - it was also a test for that person. General Li was not soone Yun Yang was familiar with.
General Li answered, "Sir Wu asked us to greet young master in return if you were to ask about him."
Yun Yang let out a relieved breath.
His contact with Wu Ying had not lasted for long. They had not t in this duration of ti, only observing each other from afar. However, Wu Ying's attitude of wanting only to do the last of what he could with no other wishes in or for life was obvious. Other than work, he was as animated as the living dead.
Yun Yang had given the matter a long period of consideration before finally deciding on this probe.
The probe was not only a test of cooperation, but there were also other aspects contained within. Up to this point, there was no other problem.
…
At the Board of War, General Li arrived at the entrance of the dark and silent house.
"Sir Wu, this subordinate cos to submit news that the mission is completed."
"Mm."
"Sir Wu has guessed correctly, it was indeed Young Master Yun who has been asking for my assistance."
"Mm."
"This subordinate has greeted Young Master Yun, according to Sir Wu's instruction."
"Mm."
"Does Sir Wu have any further instructions?"
"No."
"Then, this subordinate bids his leave."
"Mm."
The conversation was as simple as it could get. It was as if Wu Ying only knew how to utter a single word - an additional word more and he would be reluctant to speak. Yet, this was his normal behavior in the Board of War. If it had not been his personal arrangent, he probably might not have even said this single word.
Inside, Wu Ying sat listlessly before the table, as usual, carefully tidying the many years of docunts and records of the Board of War. Beside him, there were a few books that he had just compiled and finished writing.
"About Han Sanhe."
"About Qiu Jianhan."
"About Nine Supres' Fall."
"About The Empire."
"About The World's Greatest Generals."
"About The Military and Civil Officials."
"About The Civil Affairs."
"About The Military Affairs."
"About The Imperial Court and The Martial World."
"About The Difference Between A General and Marshal."
…
Among all these, so were drafts he had previously worked on and so were ideas he had just gotten - they were guides that Wu Ying had sorted out and produced after a fair bit of work.
The content recorded in these titles could be said to be the essence of Wu Ying's lifeti of military knowledge and experience. He had almost completed analyzing all the notable officials, whether military or civil, since the beginning of ti until now. His personal understanding and comnt were included as well.
All classic warfare, war, strategies, and stratagems, techniques and asures, were concluded without missing anything out.
The rise and fall of all the empires of the Tianxuan Continent for the next thousand years were summarized and concluded. The main points were highlighted, while the pros and cons were neatly listed out.
"When I die, these… can be of so use to Yutang. Consider this the last token of effort from , an authority from the Board of War."
Wu Ying was murmuring to himself.
"No - perhaps, before I die, I should personally search for a few suitable successors…"
"If this effort of mine were to be stored away, it'd be aningless."
"My end is evident - I don't have much longer left. If I sit down to wait for it, it'd be a waste of ti. There's no benefit coming out of it. It'd be better for to head to the military base and pick out a few low-ranking officers and personally train them. I'd be the one who understands what I write the best… Should I head to the school as well and see if I can recruit a few students fated to be with and pass down what I've learned my entire life? Since this Includes Old Bi's lifeti of knowledge, I'll help him find a few successors as well."
Wu Ying whose thoughts carried him afar was in a daze. When he broke out of his trance, he could not help chuckling dryly and looked at a book he had just written on the table. The last one he had yet to finish.
"About How Yutang Conquered The World."
"I most probably won't be able to see the day the world is united. Regardless, the administration after the unifying the world will always need more talents. I should really recruit more disciples during these last monts of mine, cultivate more useful talents for Yutang."
"According to the current trend in the continent and the various episodes recently, Lord Supre Cloud has dealt with the imperial court, the martial world, the assassins, sects, royals and other issues respectively… I believe the war to conquer the world will definitely erupt in the next three to five years."
"So, there won't be much ti left for no matter what happens. I have to find the talents I need as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the war breaks, I'll have to manage various sides. How would I have the ti to train them?"
"If I have soone helping on these, perhaps the efficiency level could improve trendously. My thoughts after this can't wholly be on the Board of War. For the sake of Yutang, I'll have to change."
Wu Ying stood up and delivered his order.
"Help send a few invitations out."
A few invitations sounded fairly simple, but everyone who saw the na of the receivers of these few invitations could not help but a sense of shock. The aning these invitations held was not to be underestimated, the impact literally earth-shattering!
Fang Qingtian.
Qiu Jianhan.
Leng Daoyin.
Tie Zheng.
Old Mistress Shangguan!
The five people he had invited for a et-up were basically the pillars of the Empire of Yutang.
If Wu Ying were to be included as well, it was everyone who was anyone in Yutang's military, be it leaders overtly, covertly, in actual fact, or even spiritually!
Wu Ying took so ti with the last invitation. Finally, he let out a bitter chuckle. "Do I still have the face to see him?"
He cast the invitation into the fire.
"Cloud!"
There was only a single word on the invitation, but it had already vanished within the flas.
