Chapter 156 Oh no, I’ve become a “strategist”!
On the piece of paper in Wen Yanzhao's hand, there were clearly printed the three words "Xin Baicao" written by Ruxian himself with wine.
At this moment, there was actually a faint aroma of wine wafting out.
"Impossible! The Confucian Immortal clearly passed on his inner strength to you, but he eventually ran out of energy and died in the peach forest in Qiandong City. How... is this possible?"
Baili Chengfeng stared at the note in Wen Yanzhao's hand with wide eyes, unable to believe what he said.
On the contrary, Wen Luoyu looked calm and poured a cup of tea for her husband:
"Sit down! What's all the fuss? Since Zhao'er said he saved the Confucian Immortal, then he definitely did!"
"But what surprises me is how did the Confucian Immortal end up in our Wen family?"
Baili Luochen raised his hand to take the note, put it under the lamp, looked at it, and nodded.
"This paper...hiss, it really is the ramie yellow paper that is only available in Western Chu. Zhao'er, you really gave Grandpa a scare today!"
After saying that, he stroked his beard while holding the note and laughed.
Wen Yanzhao glanced at his uncle Baili Chengfeng, and then continued:
"Grandpa Baili and my uncle are probably the most knowledgeable people in this world about the power of the medicine man technique."
"Ordinary soldiers, after being nurtured with medicinal baths and liquids, can become elite warriors capable of defeating a hundred enemies alone."
"If the Wind-Breaking Army under Grandpa Baili can be blessed by this technique, can Zhao'er believe that the current Zhenxi Marquis Mansion is not a vassal state commanding only 100,000 troops, but a vassal state commanding a million troops?"
"The Beili Imperial Court, even if we count all the imperial guards and border soldiers together, there are 500,000 people? I don't think so!"
Baili Luochen waved his sleeves and laughed loudly:
"Even if I don't have the art of poisoning people, as long as I, Baili Luochen, have enough money and food, I won't be afraid of Emperor Tai'an!"
"Wen Lin, ah Wen Lin, you, my old man, actually raised such a good grandson who is like a poison scholar. I am so envious of you, so envious of you!"
Wen Yanzhao chuckled, his face flushed.
"Grandpa Baili, stop praising me. The Wen family and the Baili family are connected by blood. We are one family!"
"Zhao'er and Dongjun are both your good grandchildren!"
Baili Luochen's gray beard trembled with laughter. After a moment, the old marquis's expression returned to normal and he asked Wen Yanzhao:
"So, are you going to Medicine King Valley to find the art of medicine man?"
Wen Yanzhao nodded and smiled cunningly:
"Exactly. Zhao'er hadn't expected that a consensus would be reached so quickly on instigating the God of Killing Baili Luochen to rebel!"
"There's a saying that goes, 'Strike first, gain the upper hand.' I hope Grandpa Baili and Uncle-in-law make preparations early."
"That damned eunuch Zhuoqing has lost three spies from Qiandong City. He'll probably find out soon!"
"Zhao'er will set out early tomorrow morning to look for Xin Baicao. Once we get the art of making the medicine man, everything will be possible!"
Baili Luochen's eyes flashed after hearing this, and then he said to Baili Chengfeng:
"Okay! I'm the fish on the chopping board. Such a thing will never happen to me, Baili Luochen!"
"Feng'er, starting tomorrow, send five more capable centurions, each with ten clever soldiers, to the four states and twelve routes to closely monitor the troop movements in the key garrisons!"
"Tell the military chiefs in charge of military equipment, provisions, and armor to expedite the action. There is no time to lose!"
"Also... everything must be done in secrecy. If anyone leaks it, they will be subject to military law!"
Baili Chengfeng stood up and clasped his fists, saying:
"Children take orders!"
Wen Luoyu looked at her nephew Wen Yanzhao lovingly and said with a smile:
"Zhao'er, it seems you didn't just come here to see your aunt. Now, you've persuaded the Killing Zhenxi Marquis to join you in the rebellion!"
"Wen Yanzhao, you've become a strategist like those who formed alliances during the Warring States Period!"
……
Two hundred miles northwest of Tianqi City.
"Dong Jun! Baili Dong Jun... How long will it take for your hare to recover? I'm starving to death!"
"Don't rush me, Master. I'll definitely give you a rabbit leg once it's roasted!"
Li Changsheng, who had regained his youth, lay weakly in the carriage and shouted to Baili Dongjun who was building a bonfire outside.
Baili Dongjun was holding a half-roasted hare in his hand and sitting next to Yin Luoxia, with a blazing bonfire in front of him.
Yin Luoxia laughed:
"Little Master Baili, listen to the master calling you. Haha, why is he acting like a child now?"
Baili Dongjun rolled his eyes and sighed:
"He's been asking for the third time. The rabbit I caught is a little old. I need to roast it for a while longer, otherwise it will be too old to eat!"
"It would be great if Brother Yun was around. His roasted meat is the most delicious. I wonder where Brother Yun is now..."
Yin Luoxia picked up a branch, gathered the charcoal and said with a smile:
"Oh, I miss him... But come to think of it, your brother Yun really has a very unfortunate fate."
"What a wonderful young man! It's a pity he's wanted by the imperial court. Otherwise, it would be a great opportunity for him to travel around the world with us!"
Baili Dongjun's eyes were filled with a fiery red light. He turned to look at the incomparably beautiful Yin Luoxia beside him.
"Luckily, Sister Luoxia is here to accompany me. Otherwise, I would be following this old master... Now that I'm a little boss, I don't know how boring it would be!"
As the two chatted and laughed, the hare on the branch was already emitting a meaty aroma.
Baili Dongjun retracted the branch, blew the hot steam off the rabbit meat, and pulled off a rabbit leg and handed it to Yin Luoxia:
"Sister Luoxia, this one is for you, and the other one is for me!"
Yin Luoxia smiled:
"Thank you, Junior Uncle. What about the Grandmaster?"
Baili Dongjun chuckled and picked up the remaining rabbit meat:
"He still has some. He's about my age now, so it's not hard for him to chew some meat with bones!"
