Chapter 522 The Grand Dukes Secret(1/2)
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's there to talk about when we're all at war? No matter what the conditions are, if we kill you, we'll get the same reward, right?
What? Maybe Chu Nan Gong didn’t know about this at first?
Um……
He didn't care. Anyway, he was just here to calm things down. 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 major general who was about to reach the crown gritting his teeth. After his face changed several times, he actually looked back: "Master National Preceptor..."
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, and 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.
…
…
Duke Nan of Chu was also very courageous. He leaned on the walking stick and slowly stepped out of the valley entrance step by step, taking his time and looking at the thousands of weapons and 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 piercing 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 and said, "That incident is indeed the fault of the Yin and Yang family. Fortunately, it did not cause irreparable damage. The old man came here this time 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 Chief 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 smiled and explained.
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 written on it: "Tai Gong's Art of War"!
"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 voice.
His 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 those 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 of 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 improvement of papermaking and printing, the widespread dissemination of books, and the emergence of the imperial examination system, which finally broke the upper class's monopoly on knowledge.
The so-called Guizhou people in the past really didn’t understand anything. That state of ignorance is difficult for modern people to imagine. Without books and knowledge, farmers can only get some farming experience from their fathers.
Talk; the woodcutter can only get some ancestral tips on how to go up the mountain to chop wood; the fisherman, the horseman, 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 lifetime. With these things, what else do you want?
Unless you are lucky enough to be valued by an expert and join a certain school of thought, there will inevitably be a situation where a farmer's son will still be a farmer and a fisherman's son will still fish, and this will not change for generations.
So you can imagine how powerful a top-notch military book is for 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 Zhou Dynasty, the originator of military strategists, the Martial Saint, Jiang Ziya!
The greatest contributor to assisting King Wu of Zhou in destroying the Shang Dynasty, it would be no exaggeration to say that his military books are the most treasured military strategist.
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 firmly.
He now also understood why his father insisted on sending troops to Yellowstone Valley despite the dissuasion of so many people who helped Chu Nan Gong to persuade him. And why before setting off, he specifically told himself to do more persecution after he said that, don't rush to take action, you can wait for the opportunity.
Actions and words.
I'm afraid he already knew that Duke Nan of Chu had this book of war, and now he just used it as an excuse to ask for it.
Thinking further, as the commander-in-chief 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 book 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?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Regardless of Xiang Liang who was already lost in reverie, Chi Yao pulled 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 Yinyang family in the past is not so easy to eliminate. Moreover, Chi Yao had already become the national advisor of Chu at this time. If Chu Nangong still wanted
If he continues to hang out in Chu State, he will 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, Chu Nanggong shook his head secretly: "Young people today... are really scary!"
However, the old man 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?"
Bah! 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 anything. To me, the things you have here are the most precious."
"Oh well,"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chu Nan Gong 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, too?"
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."
To be continued...
