Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 815 - 751: How about... I make a wish too?
"What!? The Crown Prince of Great Sui actually wants to kill his own father, Kaihuang!?"
"What!? The Red Dust Immortal of the Imperial Path nearly changed!?"
"What!? Three supreme demons of the All Things Path appeared in the Capital of Great Sui!?"
At this moment, within the palace of the Former Che Shi Nation among the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions.
Qian Shanxiu was recounting everything that had happened before in Great Sui.
One could say that every word Qian Shanxiu said was not a lie.
But he also did not reveal all the causes and effects, or even the final outcome.
As a result, the potbellied king of the Former Che Shi Nation, who knew only of wine and pleasure daily, upon hearing these words, instantly felt he was much wiser than Kaihuang of Great Sui.
If he were to lead troops into Daxing City, wouldn’t he be able to eliminate Kaihuang and take his place, becoming the new Red Dust Immortal of the Imperial Path!
After all, he couldn’t even control his own son!
While his two sons were extremely obedient.
"Qian Shanxiu, is what you said true?"
Qian Shanxiu bowed deeply towards the king of the Former Che Shi Nation, and said with a serious face: "I can swear, everything I just said, truly happened in Great Sui. Even..."
At this, Qian Shanxiu gritted his teeth and said, "Our Town Demon Office even broke out in a fierce battle with the Town Martial Office! The two major forces under Kaihuang’s command in the past were killing each other. I was originally the Chief of the Town Demon Office, and the Town Demon Office has its claws and teeth all over Longyou Road. I have no need to deceive you about this matter!"
Upon hearing these words, the king suddenly thought of something, his eyes starting to dart around.
And at this moment, the ministers in the palace, upon hearing these words, also began to ponder something.
Suddenly, the king asked Qian Shanxiu, "Why are you telling me this?"
Qian Shanxiu smiled slightly. Although this king was rumored to be quite foolish, now it seemed he wasn’t particularly stupid.
"I naturally have my demands! I have now detached from Great Sui, and naturally, I hope that Great Sui’s enemies will increase. This...is reasonable!"
At this moment, the king of the Former Che Shi Nation finally understood what Qian Shanxiu’s purpose in coming this time was.
"I understand the matters you’ve mentioned."
Qian Shanxiu smiled as he turned to leave, taking his trusted aides out of the palace of the Former Che Shi Nation.
The Former Che Shi Nation had only one royal city, or rather, this country was just a city-state.
However, in Longyou Road, this place had more than thirty-six small countries, big and small.
The Former Che Shi Nation was neither the strongest nor the weakest. But it was one of the nations closest to the east.
As he walked out with Qian Shanxia, a strong practitioner from the Purple Mansion Realm following behind him asked, "Chief, by saying these things, do you intend to provoke a war between them and Great Sui?"
Qian Shanxiu’s lips curled slightly, nodding: "Of course. Zhang San is currently gathering the internal strength of the Town Demon Office. Although I don’t know how he’s doing it, observing the current trend, I’m worried that soon all the power of the Town Demon Office in Longyou Road will be in Zhang San’s hands. If that’s the case, what we plan to do afterward will be considerably disadvantaged."
"So, let’s give Zhang San something to do. More importantly, let’s apply some pressure on Great Sui first."
"Over the years, Longyou Road is nominally the territory of Great Sui, but in reality, there are the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions. On one hand, it’s because these small nations have different cultures and beliefs among themselves, Great Sui can’t effectively manage so many different small countries."
"On the other hand, these small nations, though nominally nations. In reality, they’re a pack of wolves. Though they compete and fight with each other daily, once they see greater benefits, they will temporarily abandon meaningless conflicts and unite to first devour the greater tiger and leopard!"
At this, Qian Shanxiu glanced at the vast yellow sands of the west.
He knew that once the part of Great Sui’s information he spread among the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions this time, these thirty-six countries would unite together.
Moreover, when he informed them about the matters of Great Sui, he seemingly unintentionally disclosed some intelligence. Once they gather their forces, they will surely choose to launch a surprise attack on Julong Pass after assembling their armies.
While the garrison at Julong Pass was less than ten thousand, with only eight thousand soldiers capable of fighting.
Encountering the wolf and tiger forces of the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions would certainly result in defeat.
If Julong Pass is pierced ahead of time, it might actually not be a bad thing.
As long as Great Sui is in chaos, I will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
...
At this moment, Li Shangfa in Julong Pass was still unaware that a scheme was quietly unfolding against Julong Pass.
He was currently puzzled by a curious incident that had recently occurred within the military camp.
Previously, that stubborn new recruit, despite his stubbornness, was later allowed to follow me out of the city. This guy mounted the horse after three attempts but followed me, so he had some guts.
So, for such a promising recruit, I naturally took good care of him.
I had him become my personal soldier, staying by my side to receive more of my guidance.
However, I recently noticed that this kid seemed to be looking better than before.
Of course, though I’m getting older, I still think I look pretty good.
So it’s not that I’m jealous, absolutely not.
Even when I was young, I was even better-looking than him, known throughout ten miles as a handsome young man.
But how come this kid suddenly looks much better?
And it wasn’t just this stubborn kid who seemed to have become more handsome.
Many soldiers in the army seemed to have become much more pleasing to the eye recently as well.
Even some originally rugged and burly men, despite still looking unkempt with beards every day, somehow gained a few extra mature charms compared to before.
Fortunately, there were some villages and small towns west of Julong Pass. Taking advantage of the night, under the guise of patrolling, I wandered around, found a young lady in need of help, and offered her money.
In gratitude, she offered herself to me thrice.
After confirming I had no issues with my orientation, I returned to Julong Pass in a state of wise rationality, and still found these people more pleasing to the eye than before.
Since it’s not a problem with my orientation, why have so many people lately become more handsome?
Hence, Li Shangfa secretly summoned the stubborn young man, and after a heartfelt conversation, he finally learned that when these people prayed to the Three Lizard Guardian Gods in the army, they weren’t wishing for battlefield safety or victory, but hoping to look more handsome!
Could this actually work?
So, when no one was watching, Li Shangfa went to a tent previously used for punishing soldiers.
At this moment, there was no one else in the tent, just Li Shangfa, and the three once reddish-brown upright lizards that had somehow turned into three armored men in reddish-brown armor.
Moreover, these three individuals looked rather handsome.
Could it be that the Three Lizard Brothers really can grant wishes?
Perhaps...I should make a wish?
Thinking this, Li Shangfa knelt before the human-lizard divinities and murmured softly: "Li Shangfa, guardian of Julong Pass, having served in the military all my life, I hope for a great battle to establish merits and an everlasting name for myself and my eight thousand warriors of Julong Pass! Furthermore, let me, Li Shangfa, become a famous general for the ages!"
After saying this, Li Shangfa felt his wish was somewhat outrageous.
But when praying to the gods could make people more handsome, what’s outrageous about praying to become a famous general?
After all, believing casually, one doesn’t lose anything either!
Hopefully, it works!
