Li Nianfan hurriedly cupped his hands. "So it's Prince Zhou. Please forgive my rudeness."
Zhou Yunwu was still standing. This time, he bowed fully and sincerely said, "This humble one almost went astray. Fortunately, Young Master Li reminded me and made me repent. Young Master Li can be my master!"
Before, his thinking could be said to be a big mistake. Not only was he too dependent on the cultivators, but he also had resentment towards them. If he didn't turn back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Li Nianfan waved his hand and refused. "Prince Zhou, you flatter me. I'm just a person from the mountains. How can I be your master? There's no need to mention this again. "
Now that I'm here, I don't lack anything. I even have beautiful women to accompany me. Occasionally, I can even brag to the cultivators. My life is too good.
Going to the mortal world's dynasties to rack my brains, work hard, and fight on the battlefield?
Do you think I'm stupid?
How many people have already called me their master? Sure enough, talented people are very popular even in the cultivation world.
Li Nianfan thought proudly.
Zhou Yunwu was even more impressed. At the same time, he sighed regretfully. "Young Master Li is indifferent to fame and fortune. His state of mind is like water. It really makes people feel ashamed of their inferiority."
He pondered for a moment and continued. "Young Master Li has amazing talent. Don't you really want to show your ambition? I once visited famous mountains and rivers and found that although the cultivators have great magical powers, in the whole world, mortals are the mainstream. If someone can gather all the mortals in the world and unify them, in my opinion, even the cultivators won't dare to look down on us. From then on, we mortals can raise our heads! "
Li Nianfan stared at Zhou Yunwu.
It turned out that this guy's sincere apology was fake. In the end, he still wanted to fight the cultivators with the body of a mortal.
It was no wonder. He was a noble prince. Maybe he couldn't stand the high and mighty cultivators. The imbalance in his heart couldn't be erased.
But … his ambition was really big.
Currently, there were many dynasties in the Immortal Cultivation World, and there was no orthodox dynasty in the mortal world. If they were really integrated, it would indeed be a force to be reckoned with. After all, there was strength in numbers.
Without much thought, Li Nianfan shook his head. "No, no, I don't have any ambitions at all."
How much time would it take to unify the mortal world? Li Nianfan couldn't wait to draw a clear line between himself and Zhou Yunwu.
Zhou Yunwu's face was full of regret. He opened his mouth but couldn't continue.
After a moment of silence, he said, "It seems that Young Master Li's ambition does not lie here. I won't force you. Actually … other than the plague, I have another problem that I would like Young Master Li to solve."
"There's no harm in saying it," Li Nianfan didn't refuse. After all, the other party was a prince with ambitions. It was better to form a good relationship with him.
"The Xia Dynasty is located in the central region, but there are bandits on three sides. A single bandit is nothing to be afraid of, but these three sides are afraid of the power of the Xia Dynasty. Therefore, they secretly formed an alliance. Once we attack one bandit, the other two will come to our aid, and even directly attack the Xia Dynasty."
When he finished speaking, Zhou Yunwu's face was full of worry. He had a headache. To him, this was an unsolvable situation. He felt that he could only rely on overwhelming force to overcome it.
Every time he thought about it, the ambition in his heart became especially unreachable. If he couldn't even solve three bandit problems, wouldn't it be a joke to unify the Immortal Cultivation World?
"I see."
Li Nianfan glanced at the table and took out a steamed bun from the steamer basket. Then, he placed chopsticks, spoon, and plate around the steamed bun.
"To make it more vivid, why don't we compare the steamed bun to the Xia Dynasty? The chopsticks, plate, and spoon represent the three bandit problems. Among them, which one is the biggest problem?"
Zhou Yunwu was stunned at first. Then, he pointed at the plate in the middle and said, "The plate is the biggest!"
Li Nianfan looked at the scene on the table and thought for a moment. He already had a plan in mind. "The chopsticks, plate, and spoon seem to be connected, but they are not made of iron. Moreover, the bandit problems are inevitably selfish and distrustful. To solve this situation … is not difficult!"
Zhou Yunwu's heart beat wildly. He was overjoyed.
Originally, he just wanted to give it a try. He didn't expect that there would be a solution.
An extraordinary person, he was fully deserving of being called an extraordinary person!
His eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask, "How do you make the steamed bun?"
"I have a plan. It's called sowing discord!" Li Nianfan smiled and kept him in suspense.
It's a pity that I don't have a beard. If I stroke it again, then I'll really be a hermit expert.
In terms of the art of war, I can think of a dozen ways to solve this situation with just a yawn. That's how talented I am!
Zhou Yunwu immediately stood up and bowed. He said excitedly, "Young Master Li, please teach me!"
Li Nianfan smiled and asked, "Are the chopsticks, spoon, and plate prisoners in the hands of the steamed bun?"
"Of course there are." Zhou Yunwu's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness.
"How do we deal with the prisoners?"
"Kill, kill one to warn the others!" The guard behind Zhou Yunwu blurted out.
Li Nianfan waved his hand. "Hehe, killing can show off your prestige, but it's not a solution to the problem. Instead, it will make the chopsticks, plate, and spoon work even more closely together."
Zhou Yunwu frowned. "Don't we kill them?"
"Of course we have to kill them, but we can kill some of them!" Li Nianfan paused. "If we kill the spoon and chopsticks prisoners, but release the plate prisoners, how will the spoon and chopsticks feel?"
Zhou Yunwu's eyes suddenly brightened, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Li Nianfan continued, "At this time, steamed bun sends an envoy to the plate, along with some gifts, to curry favor with the plate. What will the result be?"
Zhou Yunwu had already stood up. It was as if the clouds had been lifted. He murmured, "The plate will think that steamed bun is afraid of it and become arrogant, while the spoon and chopsticks will be unhappy!"
But … this alone wasn't enough.
Li Nianfan continued, "At this time, steamed bun sends someone to spread secret information, saying that the plate has already submitted to steamed bun, and they are preparing to work together to eliminate the spoon and chopsticks. But then, steamed bun suddenly leads an army to surround the plate, saying that he wants to eliminate the plate. What will happen?"
"The spoon and chopsticks will think that this is steamed bun and plate's plan. They won't dare to act rashly, and they won't dare to send troops to reinforce the plate!"
Zhou Yunwu's entire body was covered in goosebumps, and his scalp was almost numb. He began to pace back and forth, his voice almost trembling. "Wonderful, wonderful!"
Li Nianfan didn't need to continue. He continued, "While the spoon and chopsticks are hesitating, steamed bun can seize the opportunity and completely eliminate the plate in one fell swoop! This situation … is completely broken! "
"Young Master Li, great talent, please accept my bow!"
His expression was solemn, and he bowed deeply to Li Nianfan. He sincerely said, "If Young Master Li helps me, there will be no need to worry about injustice in this world. Young Master Li, why don't you reconsider? This disciple is willing to share the world with you!"
He actually referred to himself as a disciple, and his attitude was very humble.
Li Nianfan didn't even need to think. "I won't reconsider. Work hard on your own."
"Young Master Li, if you have thought it through, you can come to steamed bun to find me at any time. This disciple will be waiting for you at any time!" Zhou Yunwu bowed again. "I have troubled you today. Speed is the most important thing in war. I should go back now. Farewell!"
