“Report~”
“King Chen, please make a blood oath here and let us, the rebel scholars of the Anti-Qian, reconstruct the universe.” After a series of actions, it was naturally ti for Chen Liuhuan to make a statent, and he was directly addressed by his royal title.
“Brother Chen, why have you been hiding in the house these past few days, not coming out to eat and drink with the brothers?” Old Scholar Yu Qian’s expression carried displeasure, as if he were asking a question.
“This matter is, of course, my unshirkable duty!” Chen Liuhuan, seeing the Shadow Guard nodding at him from not far away as if signaling him to agree, naturally followed suit.
“A one-eyed stone statue has surged into the river, with carvings on it that none of us can understand. The brothers have already pulled the statue ashore, we ask for Mr. Yu and Big Brother Chen to co and take a look,” said the young servant, casting a glance at the at and wine on the table and swallowing stealthily before speaking.
“Staying cooped up these days, you must be lacking so nourishnt in your stomach, let’s go, good news, today we’ve just pillaged a fat sheep, guaranteed to replenish all the sustenance Brother Chen has lost lately,” Yu Qian said with hearty enthusiasm.
“Don’t worry, boss, I will vouch for you on this matter,” the young servant said quietly, looking at the chicken leg in his hand.
“Could this be a heavenly on? Brothers, hurry and follow to take a look!” Yu Qian of course knew, this was a call of great significance.
“Ah~ This is the divine script!” exclaid Yu Qian upon seeing it for the first ti with a sowhat theatrical performance.
“No big deal, the brothers have suffered for too long, what’s wrong with enjoying a bit?” Yu Qian completely disregarded Chen Liuhuan’s question, for they never wanted a force that could sweep all rivals aside but a bunch of good-for-nothings who only knew how to eat, drink, and be rry. If they really created a formidable military force, what would they do if sothing unexpected happened?
“Mr. Yu’s words are sensible; indeed, it is ti to enjoy ourselves,” Chen Liuhuan didn’t directly contradict but instead followed up on the other’s remark.
“Gentlen, the divine script also says that Brother Chen Liuhuan is one of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Divine Kings destined to destroy Qian. Over these recent days, Brother Liuhuan has indeed…”
“Gentlen, please be quiet for a mont. Let see what is written in this divine script,” interrupted an elder.
After all, the soldiers of Great Qian were even more useless than they were.
They quickly ford an army called the Divine Stone n, attracting many followers, and soon three thousand n were assembled, just waiting for the commands to attack and seize the fortress city, and to establish themselves as a regional power.
Chen Liuhuan looked calmly at this fish-person clad in human skin, his voice laden with sarcasm, “If we have Mr. Yu, why bother with ?”
As soon as Chen Liuhuan arrived, he perceived through his True Qi that many of those present were hiding mbers of the Alien Clan.
Naturally, Chen Liuhuan responded affirmatively and then followed the other to leave.
Besides his own Divine Stone n, there were other forces like the Snake Slayer Army, the Fox Cry Army, the Fish Belly Army, and so on.
Fortunately, they had arranged for mbers of the Alien Clan to infiltrate earlier; those individuals Chen Liuhuan had been aware of from the start, and sure enough, they jumped out to cause trouble.
Afterward, they did so translation, the gist of which was that Great Qian had done so many evil deeds that it was repudiated by heaven and earth, thus this divine script and the Stone Man descended to facilitate their rebellion against Qian.
And even if Yu Qian was killed and fooled for the mont, would the Alien Clan not send more people over?
And there was Chen Liuhuan, who had apparently done nothing, just sat back and effortlessly beca the boss.
After all, everything was arranged by them, there’s no need to worry about not being able to reach the Imperial City, even lax and careless all the way there they could make it.
At first, indeed the whole place went quiet, previously they had kept appearances, but now it was laid out in the open, and no one dared to respond.
Following that, they arrived at the hall nad Juyi Hall, naturally, everyone got into lively spirits, eating and drinking heartily—how could anyone not be happy?
The atmosphere was quickly stirred up, and for a ti, it was as if it was what the people desired.
While everyone was eating enthusiastically, a voice drifted in from the outside.
Just like that, with these actions, the Rebel Army was ford.
The specific situation would have to await the return of the Shadow Guard for further consultation.
Passing by the young servant, he paused, looked him over, and handed him a chicken leg, “Eat up, you’ve seen it, here Mr. Yu is the real boss.”
In his mind, he simulated the situation using military strategy, and then he gave up on the idea of launching a surprise attack.
Others had no reaction, but Chen Liuhuan’s expression turned cold. This bunch of people are just a rabble; with this, they still think of rebelling and causing an uprising?
Although the banners outside proclaid that everyone was brothers, there are differences even among brothers. The most useless among them could beco the leader, just like Chen Liuhuan. Before this, he was considered utterly hopeless, and if it weren’t for the shock he experienced and the “Military Strategy,” he wouldn’t have the insight and sharpness he has today.
So, if he wanted to infiltrate their ranks, he had to bide his ti.
He had now just entered the Third Realm of Martial Arts, and he could slightly perceive the strength of the fish-man before him. If a conflict really broke out, he definitely wouldn’t be a match, so for now, he needed to practice patience.
He wondered, if he attacked now with a sneak attack, what odds would he have of killing his opponent?
Hearing this, the crowd was delighted, and then they followed Yu Qian, striding away. Chen Liuhuan walked at the end, completely ignored as the so-called leader.
Chen Liuhuan’s heart sank upon hearing Yu Qian’s words, confirming even more so that the Alien Clan was causing trouble at the Court.
Because of this, Chen Liuhuan’s expression improved quite a bit, but he did not let go of this opportunity, “Didn’t the sir ntion starting an uprising soon? Then why spend these days feasting on at and wine instead of making preparations?”
This question was his way of probing; they were on the verge of rebellion, and everyone seed to be indulging in food and entertainnt. Those who had risen to power had fallen from grace only after gaining it, yet here they were, already falling into degradation before even rebelling. How could their combat effectiveness be guaranteed afterward?
As for these nial brothers, they’re eating slightly better than before, but only slightly, and certainly not much; one should not expect to enjoy such foods.
If they were going to act, they had to commit to the role, and then Yu Qian recited an obscure passage in classical Chinese. Most present were illiterate commoners, hardly capable of understanding.
A vast Rebel Army had ford as a force, centered around the north-south canals.
Since the Alien Clan had set their sights on him, it was impossible that they would let him go. With his own strength insufficient, it was best to stay hidden.
The aura of the Alien Clan differed from the Human Clan; it might be invisible to ordinary people, but to him, it was as glaring as the moon in the night sky. A single glance was enough to raise suspicions.
Thus, he beca more resolute in the idea of conducting a major purge and replacing people.
He was unclear about the doings of the Shadow Guard; during these ten days, they had co back once, sharing so intelligence and future plans with him.
So Soldiers didn’t even know how to wear their Armor properly; accustod to lethargy, running a few steps might leave them gasping, only slightly better off than the physically weak Scholars.
Yu Qian’s brows lifted, obviously pleased, and then he preempted by saying, “Speak up, what is it?”
Yu Qian naturally sensed the implications in Chen Liuhuan’s words, stroking his goatee and chuckled, “Brother Chen really has a sense of humor. The brothers can do without anyone, but definitely not without Brother Chen.”
Even more useless were those reveling in wine and at, serving as generals under a rebel leader.
When the atmosphere peaked, Yu Qian swiftly redirected the conversation and skillfully pushed Chen Liuhuan onto the stage.
In order to rebel, they needed justification and at least a solid reputation. The tyranny of Great Qian was just one of the pretexts, but it wasn’t quite enough yet.
Finding a talented general or Marshal might not be easy, but gathering a crowd of hedonistic wretches was sothing anyone could do.
The remark ca out of nowhere, but the young lad fell silent after taking the chicken leg.
In recent days, he had heard that this “Boss Chen” had not been loitering around here. Seeing him now, he understood everything.
The ssage was clear: you are the real boss; he is just soone who runs errands.
The implication seed to express dissatisfaction with Yu Qian, as if to say, “You pushed forward, but then I have no real power.” This tone suggests a desire for benefits.
Such matters aren’t so easily concluded; even if they sent soone and that person was killed, the Alien Clan would just pick soone else. There was an endless supply of people being conscripted for labor.
If he were to use assassination tactics, there was a 70% chance of success with a one-strike kill, but what then?
If it were up to these people, they would be gone in three days.
Yet Chen Liuhuan’s heart grew heavier, this was simply unreasonable.
When the group arrived at the canal, they saw an imposing stone sculpture covered in all kinds of silt, prompting spirited discussion among the onlookers.
