Chi Yao did not comment on that call.
If you ask him to say it, if you only know how to beg for mercy now, what have you been doing?
What else is there to talk about when the troops are at the gate? No matter what the conditions are, won’t I get the same reward if I kill you?
What? Maybe Chu Nan Gong didn’t know about this at first?
Um……
He didn't care. Anyway, he was just here to control the situation. If he really wanted to make the decision, he would have to look to Xiang Liang.
Chi Yao turned his gaze and fell on Xiang Liang.
I saw the young general who was about to reach the crown gritting his teeth. After his face changed several times, he actually looked back: "Master National Master..."
At this moment, Chi Yao understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but marvel at Chu Nan Gong's influence: "Forget it, just do what you want, don't worry about safety."
Then Xiang Liang took a deep breath and ordered the military formation in front to make way for Chu Nan Gong to pass.
…
…
Chu Nan Gong was also very courageous. He leaned on the walking stick and stepped slowly out of the valley entrance step by step. He was not in a hurry and looked at the thousands of weapons around him as if they were nothing.
"I've met Master Chi, the young general."
Chi Yao nodded slightly, but Xiang Liang responded respectfully.
Just when Chi Yao was about to ask, "Why did Your Majesty surrender first when I was about to fight to the death?" Xiang Liang raised his head and asked with blazing eyes: "Nangong, we, the Xiang family, must explain my father's affairs together! "
"Don't worry, don't worry, Major General."
Chu Nan Gong stroked his white beard, "That incident is indeed the fault of the Yin and Yang family. Fortunately, it did not cause irreparable damage. The old man is here to give an explanation to the Xiang family."
Seeing his confident look, Chi Yao couldn't help but become a little interested. First, he wanted to see how Chu Nan Gong wanted to resolve this matter.
Xiang Liang also looked puzzled, waiting for the other party to continue.
Chu Nan Gong looked around: "There are a lot of people talking here, so I would like to ask the Major General to ask his elite troops to move away."
"Um?"
A question mark appeared on Xiang Liang's face, and then he looked at Chi Yao.
"Don't worry, he can't hurt you as long as I'm here."
Chi Yao nodded.
"Haha, what Master Chi said is that the young general is overly worried. I am here today to resolve grudges, not to light a fire."
Chu Nan Gong also explained with a smile.
So Xiang Liang waved his hand and ordered all the guards around him to retreat thirty feet away: "Can we talk now?"
"nature."
Chu Nan Gong reached into his sleeve, and after a while, he took out a wooden box about the length of his forearm: "This is the old man's apology."
He held the wooden box in his hand and gently opened the lid.
I saw a roll of bamboo slips lying tightly on the silk. On the bamboo strip in the center of the side facing upward, there were strong and powerful characters "Tai Gong's Art of War" written on it!
"too!"
When Xiang Liang saw it, he immediately screamed, but as soon as he uttered the first word, he reached out and covered his mouth tightly, suppressing the rest of the sound.
The flushed face, bulging veins, and heavy breathing made Xiang Liang look like he was in some kind of high-spirited emotion.
Chi Yao turned his head slightly and glanced at it. When he saw the four big characters, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he understood.
No wonder Xiang Liang lost his composure, and Chu Nan Gong was willing to bring out such a thing.
In this era, the communication channels for books are extremely limited, and knowledge is only in the hands of a very small number of people. The so-called aristocratic families, whether they are generals or prime ministers, their long-lasting foundation is books.
This situation lasted until the improvements in papermaking and printing, the widespread dissemination of books, and the emergence of the imperial examination system, finally breaking the upper class's monopoly on knowledge.
The so-called Qianshou in the past really didn't understand anything. That kind of ignorance is difficult for modern people to imagine. Without books and knowledge, farmers can only get a little experience about farming from their fathers; woodcutter can only get some family traditions about cutting firewood in the mountains; fishermen, horsemen, etc...
What is the real solidification of class?
That's it.
There are only so many things you can come into contact with in your life. With these things, what else do you want?
Unless you are lucky enough to be valued by an expert and join certain schools of thought. Otherwise, there will inevitably be a situation where a farmer's son will still be a farmer, and a fisherman's son will still fish, which will not change from generation to generation.
So you can imagine how tempting a top-notch military book is to military strategists, and how important Chu Nan Gong's apology is.
It is no exaggeration to say that just by relying on this military book, you can create a family of generals who are not weak!
Because this is not written by ordinary people, but by Tai Gongwang!
Grand Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the originator of military strategists, the Martial Saint, Jiang Ziya!
The greatest hero who assisted King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that his military books are the most valuable military treasure.
Although Chi Yao vaguely felt that Jiang Ziya's most powerful military strategy might be the technique of shaking people...
Ahem, anyway, let’s get down to business.
As soon as this book of war came out, Xiang Liang immediately transformed into the shape of Duke Nan of Chu.
Chi Yao knew by looking at the way he couldn't let go of the scroll that the swordsman wouldn't be able to get up to speed today.
"how?"
Chu Nan Gong smiled and stroked his long beard under his chin, "The young general is quite satisfied with the old man's apology."
"satisfy!"
Xiang Liang replied decisively.
He now also understood why his father insisted on sending troops to Huangshi Valley despite the dissuasion of so many people who helped Chu Nan Gong. And why did he specifically tell himself before setting off, saying that he should do more forcing after that, don't rush to take action, you can act according to the situation, etc.
I'm afraid he already knew that Duke Nan of Chu had this book of war, and now he was just using it as an excuse to ask for it.
Thinking further, as the commander of an army and in a large camp, is it really possible for my father to be easily injured by the assassins of the Yangyang family?
Could it be that after discovering the identity of the assassin, he deliberately followed the trend and did it for the sake of this volume of Taigong's Art of War?
There are more and more thoughts in Xiang Liang's mind. He feels that Xiang Yan's plan is really far-reaching and terrifying, and he can't help but voice longing from deep in his heart: "When will I be as powerful as my father?"
Ignoring Xiang Liang who was already lost in reverie, Chi Yao took Chu Nan Gong and gently moved a few steps to the side.
"Nangong, what are your plans next?"
Even if Taigong's art of war was used to gain the forgiveness of the Xiang family, the impact of the evil deeds done by the Yin Yang family in the past was not so easy to eliminate. Moreover, at this time, Chi Yao had become the national advisor of the Chu State. If Chu Nan Gong wanted to continue to hang out in the Chu State, he would not only have to deal with the Xiang family, but also have to show nothing to Chi Yao.
Mr. Chu Nan is an old man. How could he not see what Chi Yao meant? This guy is just here to take advantage of him!
but……
Feeling the increasingly unfathomable dark aura on the other party's body, Chu Nanggong shook his head secretly: "Young people today... are really scary!"
However, he is not so easy to blackmail. He is soft on the Xiang family not only because it is indeed the fault of the Yin Yang family, but also because he watches the sky at night and sees certain changes in the future of the Xiang family. Invested.
But Chi Yao...
To put it bluntly, he couldn't see anything.
It's as if the other party has jumped out of the three realms and is no longer in the five elements.
So Chu Nangong paused for a moment and said: "I am alone, with windy sleeves. The only long thing on my body is the military book. If Master Chi also wants to read it, why not talk to the young general?"
Pooh! What do I need a military book for?
Chi Yao secretly scolded the old man for being treacherous.
However, his face remained calm and he raised his hand and pointed at his head: "Nan Gong is joking, I don't lack any foreign things. To me, the things you have here are the most precious."
"Oh well,"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chu Nanggong asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"Since Nangong holds Taigong's art of war in his hands, he must be familiar with the past of Taigong Jiang?"
Chi Yao did not beat around the bush, "I wonder what you think of Canglong Qisu?"
"Canglong Qisu..."
Chu Nanggong looked at Chi Yao with surprised eyes, "Are you also interested in this?"
"It's hard to say whether I'm interested or not, but I first need to know what it is. And I'm very curious about something that can make the leader of the Yin Yang family Donghuang Taiyi pursue it tirelessly."
"Donghuang Taiyi?"
Chu Nanggong sighed, "He is just a madman! No one knows what Canglong Qisu is, and there are only some undistinguished information circulating within the Yin and Yang family.
"It is said that this thing was left by Jiang Taigong, because he watched the stars at night and calculated the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he deliberately left the means of revival for future generations; some people say that if you get Canglong Qisu, you will have the power to dominate the world. Strength; not to mention things like immortality, ascension to immortality, etc. In short, it is getting more and more evil as it is spread."
"The wise does not buy rumours."
Chi Yao asked, "Nangong is a recognized wise man in Chu. So in your opinion, which of these rumors are more credible?"
"Which ones are credible?"
Chu Nan Gong snorted coldly, "I can't believe anyone you tell me!"
"oh?"
"Tai Gong Jiang Shang is indeed a strange man of his generation. It is not impossible to say that he calculated the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But it is nonsense to say that the one who has the Canglong Qisu will conquer the world. Today's Qin State is unparalleled in prestige, and they Are you gathering Canglong Qisu together? This is just an excuse used by those incompetent people to comfort themselves."
There was a hint of hatred in Chu Nan Gong's tone.
"As for the theory of immortality and becoming a flying immortal, even if Tai Gongwang really left some means to revive the Zhou Dynasty, would he only focus on personal force with his eyes? When Zhou Dynasty was in Shang Dynasty, Is it relying on personal force?"
"Well...that's not unreasonable."
Chi Yao rubbed his chin, "But doesn't Donghuang Taiyi not understand this truth?"
"Because he is crazy to ask for immortality."
Chu Nan Gong shook his head.
In short, after going around and around, Chu Nan Gong has only one argument. Canglong Qisu may have it, but it's not a big deal. The reason why Donghuang Taiyi is so obsessed with this is just because of his own obsession.
To be honest, Chi Yao didn't quite believe these words, especially after learning some ancient secrets from Shushan Grand Elder Yu Zhong.
But since Chu Nan Gong really didn't want to talk, he couldn't force it, so he simply changed the topic: "In that case, let's not talk about Canglong Qisu. Let's talk about Loulan. I heard that that ancient country used to be quite popular. brilliant?"
Since talking to the Great Elder of Shushan, Chi Yao has regarded these old guys as encyclopedias. If there is anything he wants to know, he can just ask. What if he gets the answer directly?
"Loulan..."
Duke Nan of Chu pondered, "That's a very old name. Legend has it that it was once a pearl in the desert, with a glorious and splendid history."
"oh?"
Chi Yao's eyes lit up, "Then do you know how to find it?"
"……Disaster."
Chu Nanggong shook his head, "It is said that Loulan is located very deep in the desert. Its location in the desert is difficult to determine. It is almost impossible to find it unless someone familiar with it leads it."
"That's it..."
Chi Yao felt a little regretful. If even Chu Nan Gong didn't know, he might really have to wait until the plot begins.
Unexpectedly, Chu Nan Gong suddenly changed the topic: "But by chance, I know the location of a Loulan citizen."
"oh?"
Chi Yao's eyes lit up.
"Haha, although Loulan is closed, it does not have no communication with the outside world."
Duke Nan of Chu stroked his long white beard, "Especially when a big event happened in their country many years ago."
"What's the big deal?"
"The dragon soul, which Loulan calls a national treasure, has been stolen. I don't know exactly what the dragon soul is. I only know that it is an extremely important thing to Loulan. Therefore, Loulan sent many envoys out to search for it for the first time. At that time, a messenger came to me for help."
"So, where is he now?"
"The Loulan envoy's goal is to find the dragon soul, so he will not settle in a certain place for too long."
Chu Nangong's beard curled up, but he hesitated to speak, "But I can send him a letter, saying that I saw something suspected to be a dragon soul, and he will definitely not miss it. But..."
"what do you want?"
Chi Yao understood that the other party was about to start negotiating terms.
"Although I will not leave the Yin Yang family, I will no longer interfere with the affairs of the Yin Yang family from now on. I just want to live quietly in the Yellowstone Valley. When I feel like it, I may train one or two disciples. I wonder if Master Chi can do that. convenient?"
Nowadays, Chi Yao has the final say in the affairs of Chu State. Even if Chu Nan Gong wants to live in seclusion, he will be in trouble if he does not get Chi Yao's permission.
"Can."
After pondering for a moment, Chi Yao nodded and said, "As long as you help me find the Loulan envoy, I can guarantee that Huangshi Valley will not be disturbed by mundane matters."
"In that case, thank you very much, old man."
Chu Nan Gong bowed his hands and felt that today was quite successful.
Chi Yao also thinks so. Chu Nan Gong may not know what is in Loulan, but Chi Yao, who is familiar with the plot, is different. He understood that there were not only the weapons and demons that Chi You had forged and used to roam the world, but also a series of treasures such as Chi You's sword, Pixiu, Tears of the Goddess, etc., which were of inestimable value.
And the most important thing is that the ancient country of Loulan is suspected to be the place closest to Jiutian Xuannv. They are also the only ethnic group currently known to still worship the Nine Heavens Xuannv.
Going there may be of great help to him in understanding the truth of this world.
