After flying a thousand miles, Zong Shou finally found the tracks of the six spaceships. From afar, he could feel Xue Menglong's aura and his furious roar.
When he looked at the situation here, Zong Shou was slightly stunned.
He saw balls of spiritual light fluctuations in the air. In the air, two extremely strong powers were going against each other. It caused this space to be filled with violent spiritual energy.
One of them was much weaker, like he was going all out, bringing out all his potential. It should be Xue Menglong.
The other one was one he was really familiar with. It was Ao Kun, who seemed to be at ease. He was calmly breaking down his opponent bit by bit.
Where Sōmorime looked, the six giant spaceships were trying to travel through space and leave this world under the cover of illusions.
However, each time the space barrier was forcefully ripped open. There would be tens of thousands of throwing spears carved with simple talismans that would fly over. When they exploded, it would cause the space tunnel to shake intensely. Energy would seep out and one wouldn't be able to pass through.
Looking below, there were tens of thousands of people riding Windrider Foals. They were split into ten groups and galloped around the spaceships.
They galloped at full speed, constantly changing directions. Although the spaceships above were shooting arrows like rain, there weren't many of them. There weren't many who came into contact with them, and there were even fewer who were injured by the arrows.
Most of these scenes were hidden in illusions. For example, the six giant spaceships were hard for normal people to see.
However, in Zong Shou's eyes, these illusions didn't exist.
"This is the private army of the Ren Family?"
Zong Shou exclaimed. It wasn't that there was anything unusual about these private soldiers.
At most, they were slightly stronger than the troops of the Donglin Cities and were above normal standards.
What surprised him was that these knights were always able to dodge in advance when the arrows rained down from the sky.
If it wasn't surprising, it should be the prediction of the cavalry army leader. Such an ability wasn't something that normal people could have.
Another unparalleled general seed? How was that possible?
Zong Shou was only shocked for a moment. He knew that now wasn't the time to think about this matter.
His body rose into the air, the illusionary heart mirror hanging above his head and shining down.
Without needing to show the nine tails, one could see the people on the six spaceships fall to the ground.
The airship creaked as it gradually came to a stop.
Xue Menglong seemed to know that the six spaceships had no chance of escaping. A tragic cry. Before Zong Shou's mirror light shone over, he had already fled. He had already escaped into the air and escaped from Aokun's contact.
A few breaths later, his body appeared beside Zong Shou.
"This Xue Menglong's ability is not bad. If not, I might be able to capture him! "
As he said that, Ao Kun looked towards Zong Shou with regret, "If your cultivation could reach Spirit Realm, he wouldn't be able to escape!"
Zong Shou knew what he meant. If he came a little later, Ao Kun would be able to suppress Xue Menglong. If he reached the Spirit Realm, he would be able to work with Aokun to lock down the void.
However, he didn't feel any regret. This Xue Menglong was really smart. If he knew that he had no hope, he definitely wouldn't sit still and wait for death. It was possible that they would abandon the six warships and flee in advance.
"Why did you come here?"
What he was most confused about was this matter. Logically speaking, the Xue Family cloud ships should be a really secretive matter. How could Aokun know? Moreover, how could he rush over in time before he could escape?
"Someone told me! Someone had scattered countless dragon talismans in the realm rivers in the outer realms. Coincidentally, that person from Tailing Sect left. I was curious and picked one up. "
As Ao Kun said that, he took out a message talisman and passed it to Zong Shou.
It looked no different from a normal message talisman. Only at the back was a dragon shaped mark.
However, Zong Shou knew that such talismans often had a bit of dragon blood. As long as one was of the dragon bloodline, even if they were several worlds away, they would be able to sense it.
As expected, the moment he received it. That Lightning Winged Dragon had already popped its head out. Taking a look, it retracted back in disinterest.
At this moment, Ao Kun smiled, "I think this person is really interesting!"
His eyes moved about, following which he stopped at Zong Shou's shoulder. Looking at this little puppy, his expression was really weird.
"This little puppy seems a little weird? Aiya, there will be a good show to watch in the future … "
Zong Shou didn't pay attention to what he said, his expression deep in thought. Only when he saw that out of the ten thousand cavalry, there were two people flying over in the air did he come back to his senses.
He knew that these two people were most probably the commanders of the Ren family private army. One of them was dressed like a general, his body was huge, no weaker than Yin Yang. The other person was a scholar in his twenties, he looked really gentle and polite, his expression really respectful. However, it was obvious that he was used to being undisciplined. At this moment, he was pretending to be respectful. Although he pretended to be respectful, in the details, one could still see how unrestrained he was.
After the two of them bowed, Zong Shou asked, "Who was the commander of this cavalry army?"
"It was Ren Tianxing!"
The person dressed like a general replied, "I acted rashly and broke the military rules, ruler please punish me!"
Ren Tianxing?
Zong Shou's eyes flashed, "You are Renbo's nephew?"
He didn't know that Renbo actually had such a nephew.
His name was really famous, like thunder in his ears!
He couldn't help but find it weird, did his body already have the aura of a king?
Such a person actually ran over to him for no reason?
Ren Tianxing found it weird, but he still said respectfully, "That's right!"
Zong Shou nodded slightly, taking out the Dragon race message talisman, "Then who threw this talisman?"
The one who replied was the teen scholar, "It was me!"
Zong Shou's eyes were filled with a weird expression, "Who are you? How did you know that the Xue family spaceship was hidden here? "
"I am Zhang Huai!" Zhang Huai replied expressionlessly, using the same calm tone to explain, "I didn't know at the start! However, the world river is really dangerous and the Xue family is confident in winning. They have a 70% chance of moving their people to the Cloud World. There are only a few places near Gantian Mountain that can easily enter the spirit river … "
Zong Shou's eyes lit up once more, "Then, how did you know that the Xue family had people following them?"
"The strong crossbows they prepared are mostly old! Moreover, the spiritual formations they used are all ready made. They should have been disassembled and moved from somewhere. With my estimations, there should be no less than 4 spaceships … "
"Then, if my Uncle Ao didn't come, what would you do?"
"Naturally, we would just sit on the side and watch!"
"But you want to protect your body? You aren't willing to die for me? "
"No! Using tens of thousands of lives to do such a useless thing isn't something a smart person would do. Why not just leave some useful people alive … "
"Interesting! Using ten thousand men to block six spaceships. Aren't you afraid of being drowned by those strong crossbows? "
"The Xue family elites have all moved out, the strong crossbows have all been moved away. With my Senior Brother Tianxing here, what do I have to fear? "
"The one blocking Xue Menglong is my Uncle Ao. The one leading the ten thousand cavalry to block the enemy ships is Ren Tianxing. I don't see any use for you. "
"How is it useless for me to give advice and plan?"
Zong Shou asked several questions consecutively like a cannon. Zhang Huai answered without hesitation.
The more he asked, the thicker the admiration in Zong Shou's eyes.
However, why hadn't he heard of this Zhang Huai before?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zong Shou smiled, "Speaking of which, you are blocking these six ships because you want to serve under me?"
Zhang Huai's expression didn't change, he wasn't emotional but he wasn't rude either, cupping his fists, "That's right!"
"Then, in your eyes, how should I deal with the Xue Family people and the various Fox Race branch races?"
"Simple, you just have to split them up. Ruler has his own methods, you don't need me to interfere. "
"Then, is there anything lacking in my Gantian Mountain rule?"
"You have to educate them! Ruler knows that your people are dumb and are often made fools of. Although there are discussions, most of them are nobles. Apart from that, due to the chaotic times, there are too many taxes. The taxes aren't the same … "
"Is there any way to solve it?"
Zhang Huai stopped slightly. After thinking about it, he said seriously, "The former is natural, as for the latter, Ruler can use benefits to tempt them and show them your strength!"
Zong Shou's brows rose up and then he smiled, "I hate that Yang Family and Liao King and want to find trouble with them. Unfortunately, I am too far away. I want to bring some people over. Why not follow me and teach me where to start? "
Ren Tianxing was delighted. Zong Shou calling him Mister meant that he recognized Zhang Huai's talent.
Zhang Huai's expression turned solemn, "No! I don't know if Ruler is testing me or not. However, this method isn't good and it is easy for others to take advantage of it! "
"Oh?"
Zong Shou exclaimed, looking on quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Zhang Huai didn't hesitate at all, "If Ruler wants to find trouble, it is simple. You just need to send an envoy to the Imperial Capital in the Taishang court. You just need to question and scold him in court! "
Zong Shou was pleasantly surprised. This person was a little interesting! This method was an open scheme and he didn't need to spend any effort.
However, he acted like he didn't understand and asked, "I heard that the Taishang Emperor loves the Liao King the most. The Yang Family has been officials for generations. "
No matter how unwilling he was to be enemies with Gantian Mountain, the Emperor wouldn't scold his own son for a barbaric country that was so far away.
Zhang Huai scoffed, "Although the Liao King is loved, he has many political enemies! As for the Yang Family, because of generations of officials, they were scolded by the Emperor! "
The meaning behind his words wasn't fully expressed but the few people present knew what he meant. The Yang Family was so strong, and in such a chaotic world, how would the Emperor not worry about them?
With such a good chance, it would be weird if the ruler of the Taishang didn't take the chance to attack.
As for the Liao King, the other princes wouldn't give up on this chance to strike him.
"You are a Country Scholar!" Zong Shou hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, "You are a Prime Minister talent!"
Zhang Huai was stunned. This Zong Shou's evaluation of him wasn't a strategist but a Prime Minister talent? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
