Chapter 220: Chapter 110: Breaking Army, Shaking Light; Elder Xue’s Secret Talk

Hearing the voices of the Imperial Guards outside, Breaking Army’s eyes flashed with sharpness as he said, "We don’t have much time, so let’s keep it short. After the grand sacrifice, you must leave Chen Country immediately, Emperor Chen outwardly displays benevolence and righteousness but inwardly is stingy and suspicious."

"With the grand sacrifice attracting many powers, he must maintain his image as a benevolent emperor and will not delve into many matters. Once it’s over, however, he will surely remember these issues, and you will be in some danger."

Li Guanyi said, "I was already planning to leave this place."

"I’m going to the Eighteenth State of Jiangnan."

Breaking Army said, "Good, I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you there."

Breaking Army took a fire starter and burned the silk map to ashes. The flames reflected in his eyes, which blazed intensely as he said, "You’re heading to Jiangnan, but you must not linger there. Although the aristocratic families of Jiangnan are safe, Murong Longtu, who schemes across the world and is domineering and autocratic, will only see you as a noble son to protect."

"The grasslands of the Western Regions are where heroes truly spread their wings."

Li Guanyi asked, "Where do you plan to go, sir?"

"Me?"

Breaking Army grinned and said, "I’ve just mentioned, all countries have their flaws."

"Ying Country has strong troops and horses, a renowned monarch within, three Divine Generals, among which I don’t know how many have names listed among the top hundred on the Divine General List. The Martial World of the Central Plains is powerful, the court is frugal, coexists with the livelihood of the people, and there’s an air of fierce heroism. The only problem is that the emperor is already quite old."

"No matter how heroic, in the end, one can’t fight the passage of time."

"Neither the luxury of wine ponds and meat forests can drain the heroic spirit in one’s chest as time can. Sadly, he has two sons, both equally exceptional. One is a benevolent king taught to rule with kindness, the other a defiant overlord prepared for the world that has yet to be pacified."

"And the most ingenious part is, with the World’s Number One Divine General now the Grandmaster of Ying, of the other two top five Divine Generals, each has chosen a prince."

"Yuwen Lie is under the Crown Prince’s command, while the other, He Ruoqinhu, supports Prince Jiang Guang."

"This is Ying Country’s flaw, which I, this moment, shall exploit for my lord—"

Breaking Army saluted with cupped hands and spoke softly:

"After the grand sacrifice, I will accompany the Turkic Seven Kings into Ying Country. This time, I will ensure the grasslands split into eastern and western factions, and incite the succession chaos in Ying Country, so that with the collapse of the Western Regions, and the division of Turkic, Ying Country falls into turmoil."

"I shall demonstrate that the line of Breaking Army remains the strongest among the world’s strategists and masterminds."

As he looked up, his gaze was still as fierce as fire.

This was the true strategy of the line of Breaking Army. Entering the fray alone was like wielding the first blade to tear through these turbulent times.

Eight hundred years before, that generation’s Breaking Army had entered a city alone with just eight men, and fought against the Overlord.

Ten men, one hour, slain the City Lord, conquered the city.

And then the Overlord established his first base of control.

Li Guanyi said, "...take care."

Breaking Army replied, "When the world is in turmoil, it’s the chance for heroes to rise. Following rules in a chaotic era will only lead to the fate of the Regent and your father—falling victims to villains by those very rules. When the world falls into chaos, that will be your opportunity to emerge and walk toward it."

"The wind rises with the tiger, and the clouds follow the dragon."

"You once said, ’Adding flowers to the brocade, or sending coal in the snow.’"

The handsome young man smiled, his eyes narrow and sharp like unsheathed blades: "I wonder if my actions count as adding flowers to the brocade, or sending coal in the snowy weather?"

He shook his sleeves, inhaling the scent of blood and fire in the air, and turned to leave.

With his back to Li Guanyi he said, "The fierce tiger needs the wind to tear through the fog ahead, and the wind also aspires to accompany the tiger to witness a broader future."

"Allow me to personally lift the corner of this chaotic world!"

"And then let you step onto it."

"I just wonder, how will future generations record me?"

"A cunning official who stirs up chaos, or a strategist with a cruel heart." He looked up at the sky and then laughed sarcastically: "Who cares?"

Breaking Army strode out, then his expression immediately turned to a slightly tense yet composed one, as he hurriedly went back in and said, "Seventh Prince." At this time, the Seventh Prince was here enjoying drinks with the Crown Prince of Ying Country.

Although Yuwen Lie had just dealt the Turkic a heavy blow.

The Fifth Prince, whom Yuwen Lie had defeated, had also wanted to seize the territories occupied by the Seventh Prince.

At that moment, both were honored guests of Chen Country, toasting and drinking merrily. Though there were strong liquors on the grassland, they were different from those of the Central Plains. The good wines of the Central Plains were mild at first, only sweet and pleasant, but once one felt something amiss and sought to step outside for a breath of fresh air, they’d find themselves quickly overwhelmed by intoxication.

That was the toppling in the wind.

The Crown Prince of Ying Country had already gone to change clothes after the banquet. It wasn’t proper to face guests reeking of alcohol.

The Seventh Prince was deeply drunk but saw Breaking Army approaching quickly. Puzzled, he raised his cup and laughed heartily, "Sir, weren’t you out catching some wind? Why have you returned so quickly, hahaha, you must want to drink some more, right!"

"Here, let me fill your cup."

"Let’s drink this cup to the full."

Breaking Army bowed and said, "Seventh Prince, did you hear the commotion just now?"

The Seventh Prince, still woozy, said, "The commotion? It seemed, like a Dragon Roar. This place belongs to the Chen Kingdom Royal Family. As we are out of the common weave, Emperor Chen may not hold up. Sir, did you find something?"

Even deep in his cups, the Seventh Prince remained keen.

Breaking Army stated, "Someone just broke into the palace."

The Seventh Prince’s eyes shimmered with sharpness, his Inner Qi surged, and the drunkenness faded instantly. His right hand rested on the hilt of his scimitar as he asked, "Who?"

Breaking Army replied, "Yue Qianfeng."

The Seventh Prince said, "Chen Country’s foremost marshal in battle."

He asked, "Is it about Yue Pengwu?"

"Sir, did you encounter that villain? Are you wounded?"
