Chapter 373: Chapter 161: Phoenix’s Pact, the Opportunity of the Chi Xiao Sword

Li Guanyi invited Breaking Army to sit down, and then he brewed tea for him. Breaking Army praised, saying:

"Excellent tea."

His gaze flitted to the corner of the wall, and indeed he did not see the white fur, he couldn’t help but feel regret. After drinking the extraordinary tea personally brewed and poured by the Lord, Breaking Army said, "The strategy has been successful, Lord."

The young strategist set down his teacup, saying:

"Emperor Chen has seized Tantai Xianming’s position. At this time, while maintaining the progress of the great sacrifice, he has begun to forcefully consolidate imperial power with a ruthless hand. A part of the bureaucrats and a part of the aristocratic families has been suppressed while another has been divided."

"Simultaneously, he is even holding talks with Ying Country and the Turkic."

"This is when he is the strongest, but also the moment when Chen Country is at its weakest. Many systems of Chen Country have been weakened to some extent due to his consolidation of imperial power, and this weakening will take some time to recover."

"And the great sacrifice will prolong this state of vulnerability."

"In other words, the time to rescue Qilin has arrived."

Breaking Army exhaled deeply, extended his finger, and said, "It is no longer a matter of strategy at this point, all strategies are just to weaken the opponent, strengthen ourselves, and create an opportunity; there will be no better chance in a short span of time."

"On the day of the great sacrifice, I will place the Seventh Prince’s chariot outside the Vermilion Bird Gate. After you rescue Qilin, you can swiftly drive away. Along the way, I have prepared a place for you to change vehicles, erase the clues, and you can make your escape."

"And depending on the circumstances, you will have multiple options."

"If at that time no other events have occurred, secure Qilin in a safe place, then come back immediately; but should the situation change..."

Breaking Army took a deep breath, saying: "You drive the chariot, leave Jiangzhou immediately."

"Do not hesitate."

"Leave at once."

Li Guanyi looked at Breaking Army in front of him, the young strategist’s eyes seemed to be stormy, and he said gently, "By observing one spot, one can see the whole leopard. From what I’ve discerned on the surface, I feel that something major might change during the great sacrifice."

"It’s crucial to take advantage of this chaos and leave immediately. That is the Righteous path."

"Using the power of the Xue Family for cover, with your Duke title as your reliance, lead Qilin out of Jiangzhou’s control territory shortly, entering the wild mountains. Don’t mention suspicions about Qilin’s disappearance or your disappearance, the disappearance of Qilin alone is enough to enrage Emperor Chen."

"At that time, he won’t care about evidences."

Breaking Army licked his lips, excitement glowing in his eyes, he said:

"Tantai Xianming’s provocation has already begun to shake his rationality, a schemer, someone who ought to be profound, suddenly losing his calm, this for people like us, is the beginning of a collapse."

"Qilin’s disappearance will completely erase his calm."

"Striking him with the biggest blow when his defenses are down! Ha, he will crumble, no matter how cunning and calculating the tyrant, at this moment, his emotions will surge violently."

"That said, Lord, whether it’s the Emperor, Tantai Xianming, or other strategists, whether strong or weak, our performance is not constant, a smart strategist might make dumb moves, and a foolish mortal might come up with brilliant strategies, all performance fluctuates."

Li Guanyi looked at Breaking Army, asking, "What about you?"

"Me?"

Breaking Army smiled, naturally saying:

"I have no lows."

"I only have a normal state of invincibility, and an extraordinary performance."

"Tantai Xianming, Qilin, enough to plunge Emperor Chen’s state into the lows after a calm collapse, his judgments, his thoughts will be greatly weakened, I will find a way to first create an alibi for you, and then stage a ’fake death’ for you."

"After the fake death, it will appear that you fled due to being implicated in a scandal during the changes at the Court; this isn’t a big issue, most likely they will follow protocol to use your Duke title to take responsibility, due to the time gap I prepared, he won’t suspect you initially."

"At least, you won’t be the primary suspect."

"Under such circumstances, I can create considerable time for you, and get the Xue Family out as well."

"I can also use Emperor Chen’s state of fury to clean up some obstacles in Chen Country’s Court for you..."

"Don’t worry about me, I’ve secured the influence of the Turkic Seven Kings."

"Emperor Chen’s nature, no matter how mad, will not offend the Turkic and Ying Country."

"Tch, not to speak of other skills, measurements, or cultivation, in this regard, he is not even comparable to the Seven Kings."

Breaking Army passed his judgment, saying, "Emperor Chen isn’t an ordinary person; he possesses a strong will, an Emperor’s scheming skills, also the ambition to conquer the world, and the tyrant’s heart to endure for his goals."

"Everything he does, in reality, has been done by many tyrants and Overlords in history, there were kings on the grasslands who mortgaged their wives to the enemy for three thousand Cavalry to roam the world. What Emperor Chen does, in these vast annals of history, is merely common."

"His only fault..."

Breaking Army said:

"Is his incompetence."

Li Guanyi cracked a smile; this guy was still as cruel with his words.

Breaking Army’s smile slightly faded, as he said seriously, "However, this is just strategy, strategy is merely an aid, indispensable but not wholly reliable."

"Lord, this great sacrifice holds too many uncertainties; this is not merely two armies facing each other, but a clash of multiple forces, no strategist can predict everything in such a scenario."
