Peace Order-Chapter 1584 - 26: Conferment!

A brilliant light soared into the sky as the box was opened.

Inside, there was a mysterious aura beyond description; the box seemed to contain some mechanism related to Qi Fortune, something created before the chaos of Witchcraft, crafted by the Three Sects of the World, activated by Qi Fortune.

Thirty-six chains of the Qi Fortune mechanism simultaneously broke apart.

Originally, if any Qi Fortune chain inside broke, it would destroy the items within the box, but this time, every chain opened in the most coincidental way, successfully passing the Qi Fortune judgment of all thirty-six chains at once.

The final masterpiece of the Witchcraft lineage failed to exert any influence at all.

It was thus rendered completely silent.

Click, the box fell apart, landing on the ground, and Nangong Wumeng stood there dumbfounded, holding a jade disc in his hands, this jade glistening warmly, carrying an indescribable elegance, its quality surpassing all current treasures.

"Hiss!!!"

Yan Daiqing rose urgently and rushed over, looking at the jade disc in Nangong Wumeng’s hands, his expression growing increasingly solemn, finally saying seriously:

"General Nangong, could you let me examine this item?"

"Ah? Oh, if you want it, here you go."

Nangong Wumeng handed the item to Yan Daiqing, who received it with both hands and carefully examined it, his fatigued eyes with dark circles glistening with light, his spirit revitalized.

Yan Daiqing examined it for nearly half an hour before letting out a deep breath from his heart, setting the jade disc down, and said to Li Guanyi: "Lord, it truly is a heavenly gift, this is the legendary jade disc of the Bian Family from two thousand years ago."

"Legend has it that the Bian Family discovered this jade under Jing Chu Mountain, gifting it to two kings successively, but because the artisans of the time had no eye for treasures, failing to recognize the jade, the Bian Family had their left leg amputated, the right leg punished."

"Not until he was old and gray did he meet the third king, who pitied him and ordered an artisan to cut open the stone, revealing a peerless jade within. Later, a prime minister at Red Mountain invited guests, taking out this jade, causing a frenzy among fish both large and small in the deep pool."

"This item was lost multiple times afterward."

"It’s said that after the Red Emperor united the world, he planned to use this item to carve an imperial seal but never found it, unexpectedly, here it is obtained by you, Lord."

Li Guanyi looked at the chains related to Qi Fortune on the box and felt that even if he tried to open it himself, he couldn’t do better than Nangong Wumeng, looking at the innocent-faced Nangong Wumeng over there.

Li Guanyi was silent for a moment, looking to the side.

Li Guanyi’s Mystic Turtle Dharma Form floated out.

The Mystic Turtle Dharma Form, having tried its best, widened its pea-sized eyes, glanced at Nangong Wumeng over there, then at the top-grade jade disc, the best treasure to make an imperial seal, and then at the innocent-faced Nangong Wumeng.

A Taoist Heart shattered to smithereens.

"Indeed, truly the lucky star of our Heavenly Strategy Mansion!"

"To open so casually, yet break the Qi Fortune locks within."

Li Guanyi marveled once more, temporarily storing the jade disc, and went to see Mr. Po Jun, who himself was preparing to arrange the southwestern troops to go to Chen Country’s secret realm.

Upon hearing Li Guanyi intended to go to Xiyi City, the now thirty-three-year-old Mr. Po Jun pondered.

"In that case, allow me to accompany you, Lord."

Mr. Po Jun unfolded a geographical map, pointing to Xiyi City’s location, saying: "Xiyi City lies here, above it is the Turkic grassland, east is Central Plains’ Ying Country, south is Chen Country."

"South of Chen Country is us."

"If we can occupy Xiyi City, swallow the Western Regions’ troops here, and have the army stationed within the secret realm, sending two battalions, one from Xiyi City, the other by waterway upwards, we can encircle Chen Country which would be forced to respond."

"This is to attack where the enemy must defend."

"If they hold firm and don’t move, we will advance from two routes, nibbling away at Chen Country’s territory, until ultimately Chen Country is doomed, allowing the Lord to lead a thousand troops, marching to the city."

"We win."

"If they dispatch an army to confront us."

"The Lord can lead the legion out of the Red Dragon secret realm."

"In not long, we can lead a thousand troops, marching to Guan Yi City."

"Still we win!"

When Mr. Po Jun first met Li Guanyi, he was the most brazen at twenty-eight, five years passed, the composed young man from back then was now thirty-three, the age of establishing oneself as Confucian scholars say, yet Mr. Po Jun remained brazen.

"I give you two choices, the first is you lose, we win."

"The second, still you lose, we win."

Time’s passage didn’t wash away the arrogance in this strategist’s heart, instead, it fermented into a rich strong wine, its aftereffect increasingly lasting, strategist chuckled lightly and said:

"As for me, I thought of a spare move from five years ago."

"Back then, it was merely done as an advantage, no idea what happened afterward, don’t know if there’s still a chance to use such a move, but the opportunity to lay out this piece is right before us, how can one resist taking action?"

Mr. Po Jun smiled and said:

"Back then, you were just a fourteen-year-old child, the Dangxiang hadn’t yet founded their country, and I met the Seventh Prince of the Turkic on the grassland, later in the battle of Tuyuhun’s annihilation, the Seventh Prince Ashina seized the grassland above the Western Regions."

"Although he was beaten by the Wolf King afterward, that portion of grassland ultimately remained in his hands, if we can obtain both Xiyi City and the territory of the Seventh Prince Ashina, we will hold an advantage confronting the Turkic."
