The green carp's words immediately attracted the sympathy of the aunties in the market. They all offered to introduce him to their wives.
Fang Yun felt that Kong City was more and more interesting.
The green carp immediately expressed his gratitude and said that he was giving a small fish to someone. He then casually said a few simple words in the demon language.
Fang Yun smiled, glanced at the green carp, and continued walking.
When he passed by the door of a big family, Fang Yun saw a lion demon general playing with a group of children. He was trying to cheer them up like a gentle dog. Fang Yun looked at the group of children. A few of them were wearing the demon king's blood jade. At the very least, they were from the rich and powerful families.
"It seems like the human race has been trying their best to tame the barbarians." Fang Yun thought.
When the Wei couple brought Fang Yun to the Grand Canal, the sky was already completely dark. There were many sky lanterns floating above the Grand Canal, and there were also many lanterns made of candles floating on the surface of the river. There were boat lanterns, lotus lanterns, and even eggshell lanterns.
This was the tradition of the Saint Origin World. During the Lantern Festival, people would light up lanterns. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people would light up lanterns. They would place their hopes on the lanterns, hoping that the lanterns would float down the river and help them fulfill their wishes.
Fang Yun slowly walked towards the Grand Canal.
Kong City originally didn't have such a river. However, Kong Sheng single-handedly opened up a twenty mile wide Grand Canal. It connected the Yue River to the west and the East Sea to the east. Kong City, which was five hundred miles away from the East Sea, was now directly connected to the East Sea.
With the Grand Canal in Kong City, things from other places could be transported to Kong City through convenient water transportation. This made Kong City and Qufu even more prosperous.
Looking at the men and women by the river, Fang Yun missed Yang Yuhuan and Nunu. Then, he bought a few lanterns with the Wei couple and went to the Grand Canal to light up the lanterns. He wanted to make a wish for Yang Yuhuan and Nunu.
After the lanterns were lit up, Fang Yun and the others walked back home. After a few steps, the sound of heavy horse hooves suddenly came from the front. It wasn't the sound of galloping, but the sound of rumbling. At the same time, someone shouted to make way.
Fang Yun looked ahead and saw a group of cavalry galloping on the street. There were about fifty cavalrymen, and each man had two horses.
The horses were exceptionally large................... pure-blooded flood dragons....... and they were worth more than a hundred times that of ordinary flood dragons...
Fang Yun could not help but click his tongue. Even the Jing Country's king's guard of honor only used twenty pure-blooded Flood Dragon Horses. This troop actually had over a hundred Flood Dragon Horses, which could be exchanged for ten thousand ordinary Flood Dragon Horse Cavalry. Ten thousand Flood Dragon Horse Cavalry could easily defeat an army of fifty thousand.
This pure-blooded Flood Dragon Horse could travel two thousand miles in a day without getting tired, but at this moment, it was extremely tired.
The riders of the pure-blooded Flood Dragon were all barbarian men. They were all wearing excellent iron armor. The surface of the iron armor was glowing with a faint blue-green light. Fang Yun had once lived in the army, so he could tell at a glance that this was a cold iron armor made from the bones of a demon king. A single set of armor was worth over ten thousand silver taels. It was extremely sturdy, and when combined with Barbarian Niu's blood and Qi, it was more than enough to withstand multiple High Scholars' battle poems.
But.. . Fang Yun wasn't surprised by the flood dragons or the armor. Instead, he was surprised by the barbarian cavalrymen.
Two Barbarian Bulls, who were equivalent to Grand Scholars, led the cavalrymen. Fifty Barbarian Bulls, who were equivalent to High Scholars, followed behind them.
However, Barbarian Niu wasn't done yet. Following the cavalrymen were twenty-four Demon Wolves. One of them was a Demon Marquis, who was equivalent to Han Lin. Behind him were four Demon Commanders and Demon Generals.
"This … Is this the private army of some Half-saint? Even if Li Wenying is the number one scholar in Jingguo. He is ranked second on the hunting list. Even so, he only has about ten Demon Barbarian followers. The strongest one is only a Demon Commander. "Fang Yun thought.
These Demon Wolves had blood-red rings around their eyes, which meant that they had eaten humans before. Except for the Half-saint family, no one was qualified to domesticate such demons.
This group of Demon Barbarian private army was full of vigor. The surrounding horses and weaker Demon Barbarians were so frightened that they lay on the ground. Even though the people on both sides of the street were used to seeing Demon Barbarians in Kong City, they were still frightened. Some children were so frightened that they started crying.
Hearing the crying, the Barbarian Bulls were fine, but the Demon Wolves smiled contemptuously.
The Demon Wolf Marquis growled. His eyes were full of killing intent. He didn't take the crowd seriously at all.
A tamed Demon Wolf General shivered and peed when the Demon Wolf Marquis glanced at him.
It was Fang Yun's first time seeing such an aggressive private army. He thought to himself that there were indeed hidden talents in the Ten Nations. Once this private army appeared, even ten thousand soldiers wouldn't be enough to kill them.
When passing by Fang Yun, the Demon Wolf Marquis suddenly glanced at Fang Yun. He then revealed a mouthful of white teeth and a threatening and disdainful look. He then continued running.
This group of Demon Barbarian private army crossed the street and left, leaving behind a trail of shocked people.
Fang Yun was very curious about the owner of this private army. Even if the Half-saint families could raise more Demon Barbarian private armies, they would only raise a few loyal ones. A private army of more than fifty people like this was very rare. There were even fewer people who dared to be so arrogant in front of the Kongsheng family.
Fang Yun walked while listening to the discussions of the people on the side of the road.
"Where is this private army from? It's so scary. "
"Bastard! This is Kong City, under the foot of the Notre-Dame. Who dares to be so presumptuous! "
"I remember now. I talked to a friend of the Kongsheng family a while ago. It should be the private army of the fierce king!"
"So it's him. No wonder. He's simply a lunatic."
"Hmph, this is Kong City. He has to lie down like a tiger and coil up like a dragon!"
"But he doesn't lie down or coil up."
Hearing the discussions of the people, Fang Yun thought: Fierce King? Very likely. Fierce Monarch was the top scholar of the Martial Kingdom. Therefore, he had the 'One Step to the Clouds' ability of a scholar. He had flown over by himself, but his private army was not that fast. Therefore, they had to travel day and night and change to pure-blooded flood horses. He actually let his private army come with him. It seemed that this Holy Ground was very important to him.
Fang Yun suddenly thought of another possibility.
"Fierce King was a Juren eight years ago. He must have been to the Holy Ground! This time, he was willing to exchange Han Xin's Soldier Point for my Blood Drop Beast Skin. He also specially brought his entire private army. It's obvious that he is determined to win. Could it be that he found some important clues in the Holy Ground eight years ago? "
Fang Yun sighed softly. After seeing Fierce King's private army with his own eyes, he realized how big the gap was between him and the Half-saint family. He also understood why Fierce King was so crazy to plunder and exploit those aristocratic families. If he did not do so, he would not be able to raise this private army. There was no doubt about the strength of this private army. With just this private army and Fierce King, they could fight against fifty thousand soldiers. Fierce King might be able to wipe out fifty thousand soldiers.
"No wonder Fierce King has the confidence to restore the glory of the Meng Sheng family. When Meng Sheng was in Hanlin, he did not even have such a private army. Hanlin's private army actually has a Demon Overlord. This is equivalent to Half-saint's private army having a Demon Overlord. This is almost impossible, but he did it. "
"When I become a Juren, I will also have the qualifications to raise a private army. A real private army is fed to the demons. Money is spent like water. If I can't get some Saint Blood and Saint Jade in the Holy Ground this time, it will be difficult for me in the future. "
Fang Yun thought to himself as he returned to the Zhou residence. He felt more pressure and a stronger desire for the trip to the Holy Ground.
"I have already obtained the first stratagem of the Thirty-Six Stratagems. The second stratagem is to surround Wei to rescue Zhao. It is best to complete the Talent Qi Demonstration before entering the Holy Ground. However … the eighth stratagem of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to secretly cross the Chen Cang. Fierce King just so happens to have the 《Three Chapters of Han Xin》, and the first chapter is 《Building the Path in the Open, Crossing the Chen Cang in the Dark》! This means that in the future, in front of the person who has the 《Three Chapters of Han Xin》, the 《Thirty-Six Stratagems》 will never be considered a complete military book! "
Fang Yun did not expect that Fierce King would be such a big hindrance to him.
Fang Yun pondered for a moment. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Let's write out the second stratagem of 《Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao》 first!"
After returning home, Fang Yun told the Wei couple not to disturb him. Then, he began to write 《Thirty-Six Stratagems of Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao》.
When he wrote the last word, Fang Yun entered the Talent Qi Demonstration for the second time.
Fang Yun opened his eyes. He found himself sitting in the main tent of the army. Someone rushed in from outside and shouted, "Reporting to General Fang! Our army was originally going to attack the barbarian tribe tomorrow, but another barbarian tribe used the strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao to attack Dong City. The king is in Dong City! Dong City is empty. The king has already issued an imperial edict for you to give up on this barbarian tribe and return to help. "
Fang Yun was dumbfounded. He thought to himself, I was the one who wanted to besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. How did it become the other way around? This Qi Display Martial Arts was too vicious! Even if Half-saint was here, he would also vomit blood.
The strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao had the general momentum and was an overt plot. It was the most vicious stratagem and could not be broken.
However, Fang Yun was only angry for a moment before he returned to normal. He had always studied the art of war and naturally thought of ways to break it. He had already thought about it. Besieging Wei to rescue Zhao was either not used, or once it was used, no one could break it, unless a saint descended from the heavens.
"However, if the art of war cannot be broken, it does not mean that we will definitely lose! This stratagem cannot be broken, but there is still a way to deal with it. "
"If I lead the entire army to rescue Zhao, not to mention that the soldiers will be tired and will be attacked head-on, even if they can hold on, they will definitely be attacked from the front and the back. If I divide the army, I will also be seeking my own death. Pang Juan lost to Sun Bin in the past. This Talent Qi Demonstration, since the Barbarians used this tactic, there must be rebellious scholars among them. They will not give me a chance. "
Fang Yun kept thinking about what he had learned these days and finally made a decision.
"It is impossible to win, but there is a chance that we will not lose!"
Therefore, Fang Yun ordered to attack the Barbarian Tribe overnight. They won with absolute strength, but there were also some casualties. At the same time, there were only fifteen thousand soldiers left from the twenty thousand army.
Fang Yun ordered everyone to eat, drink, and rest. They would go to Dong City tomorrow to save the king.
The next day, the wounded soldiers were left behind. The fifteen thousand soldiers who could fight set off. However, they did not march in a hurry. Instead, they marched slowly to preserve the soldiers' strength and avoid being surrounded by the Barbarians.
Marching slowly was not a strategy to win, but the only strategy to not lose!
Originally, the army could reach Dong City in half a day, but Fang Yun used one and a half days to reach Dong City. By then, Dong City had already been attacked by the Barbarians and the king had been killed.
Fang Yun ordered to attack Dong City. In the end, both sides suffered great losses. Fang Yun died in the battle, and there were not many Barbarians left. The first Talent Qi Demonstration failed.
Fang Yun opened his eyes again and found that he was still in the study. He asked the Wei couple and found that only one day had passed. After calculating carefully, he found that the Talent Qi Demonstration had deducted the marching time, which was exactly one day.
