Chapter 387: Chapter 165: Heroes of the World!_3

In a world woven with a thousand dangers, the greatest path to survival was the mutual understanding and alignment between monarch and minister.

Hold on tight, my Lord.

This part, leave it to me.

...

Inside the Other Palace, tumult and excitement reigned, with strings and flutes playing and beauties twisting their slender waists.

Within the main palace, passion and sincerity throbbed, warriors sacrificed themselves, and swords and blades were bloodied.

Breaking Army, while dealing with the two princes, was also silently transmitting messages outside, using the Stargazing Lineage’s power—a method that involved passing messages and intelligence through celestial signs, a capability solely possessed by the Stargazing Lineage of Breaking Army.

The young strategist was plotting extensively, but there remained a thorn in his heart that he had pondered over these past days, which was Tantai Xianming. With Breaking Army’s talent and pride, he recognized this old fellow.

That long-haired Emperor had sent his childhood sweetheart, his wife, to the Regent King’s bed.

This was no simple decision; it must have been a struggle. With Tantai Xianming’s talent, could he have failed to notice the changes in the still young and naive Chen Dingye? Impossible, utterly impossible.

He must have noticed it, yet he still went through with it.

Was it aiding the flow of the river?

If this grand ceremony was meant to be the endgame of this chessboard,

to have his daughter bear the son of the Regent King...

Breaking Army’s actions froze, and then his pupils sharply constricted.

The genius strategist realized in a flash another horrifying prospect.

The Regent King, still alive?!

No, that can’t be!

But, but what if he is still alive?

Excitement flashed in Breaking Army’s eyes as he licked his lips.

That crippled old man, as ambitious as a Wolf King, still alive...

This significant upheaval, the dismissal of the Prime Minister, led to many departments in Chen Country’s bureaucratic system changing their senior officials. At this moment, when the nation was at its weakest, it meant the Regent King would certainly return...

But, what benefit would this bring him?

The Regent King and Taiping Duke, though adversaries, were also close as brothers.

Tantai Xianming, a top-tier strategist, how could he fail to see that?

Furthermore, that old man, eccentric?

How was he eccentric?

Could it be that those old men grew conservative and weak with age?

Smart as he was, calm as he was, Breaking Army could not discern where Tantai Xianming’s eccentricities lay.

He pondered this for a long time, to no avail.

Thus, he sent a message to that special old man in the distant Three Sects of the World, from the line of Breaking Army, who only watched over the archives and did nothing else. Breaking Army asked him if he remembered someone named Tantai Xianming. Soon enough, that old man sent a message back.

Breaking Army’s pupils sharply constricted again.

Years ago, when the distant line of Breaking Army once again initiated, seeking the next successor in this mortal world, their strategies were radical, meant to support an overlord, to sweep the world and establish unprecedented feats. During that time, a poor but clean scholar arrived here.

This scholar showcased his strategies, but his approach quieted down the seasoned members of the Breaking Army lineage. The young scholar, while wolfing down a steamed bun, said, "I believe, gentlemen, that your strategies are sound, and the momentum not bad, but somewhat stubborn."

"Stubborn?"

"Yes, the great currents of the world have been battling for over two to nearly three hundred years, and what is the reason? It is because there are two equally matched powerful nations, just like you champions and strategists, who each fell into the camps of these two nations, battling back and forth."

"Today you seize ten of my cities, tomorrow I seize twelve of yours, and with alien tribes lurking around, how can there be peace?"

At that time, an elder from the Breaking Army Lineage said, "That is why we must find an Overlord."

The young scholar Tantai Xianming shook his head in disagreement, speaking while eating,

"An Overlord, is he so easy to find?"

Someone, displeased, asked, "Then what do you suggest?"

The scholar who had just eaten five steamed buns licked the crumbs off his fingers and said,

"Strengthening one country to the point where it can swallow another is very difficult, famous generals find it hard to assassinate each other, they crave war again and again, each grand victory makes the generals’ fame more formidable, they compete for renowned names across the world, this is an age of warriors."

"But what about the civilians who die? What about the piles of white bones?"

"However, weakening another country is quite simple."

"Your approach is wrong."

The scholar stood up, calm and unruffled, and said, "In my view,

"We should disrupt the Western Regions, throw the Turkic into chaos, weaken one country, strengthen another, to invigorate the entire world."

"Turn a 280-year battle of dragons striving for supremacy into a fierce tiger devouring a wolf."

"Then, at the fastest speed, achieve ’Unification of the World.’"

"Only then can the common people recuperate and regenerate."

"Like a person with a festering wound needs to lacerate the wound to drain the blood, waiting for it to heal on its own is waiting for death! If you continue this way, the world will remain in chaos for another 500 years. But if you follow my logic, weaken one country while dispersing the surrounding alien tribes, and strengthening another country,

"Within 60 years, unification can certainly be achieved!"

"Only then can the people have new days of peace."

When the young scholar spoke these words at that time, the elders of the Breaking Army Lineage changed their expressions, and someone shouted angrily, "Absurd, to play that role of a treacherous official, who would want to bear this eternal infamy!"

"Eternal infamy? Two countries attacking back and forth, haven’t more people died in these two hundred years? Treacherous official? Hmph, what you desire is not for the world or the future, but just for a notable name in history, isn’t it?"

"Is the Breaking Army Lineage all about leaving a mark in history? If you’re unwilling to bear the eternal infamy,

"I will."

Such extreme persistence eventually led the Stargazing Lineage of that time to nearly beat the young scholar to death, but in the end, they threw him out. Tantai Xianming lay in the rain, struggling to crawl into a temple, laughing as he covered his face with his hand,

’I’m still alive.’

’Hahaha, I’m still alive, mom, dad, I’m still alive!’

Then he encountered Xue Daoyong, who had returned from the Western Regions, the collision of legends began from this moment, the scholar lying in the rain, having finished his buns, his face bruised, his left eye swollen, his whole family deceased, this strategist who should have been an excellent farmer, pointed at the sky and said.

’One day, I will certainly make a name for myself in the world.’

’At that time, if I confront you, this bun will save your life!’

Then he got his other eye blackened by Xue Daoyong.

The expression of Breaking Army froze; he suddenly understood all of Tantai Xianming’s motives, yet because of such motives, this strategist and great scholar of a past era made the young, arrogant strategist feel an indescribable chill, clenching his teeth and saying:

"A frenzied genius."

"An extreme, madman!"

......

Carrying a flickering candle, walking through the Underground Palace, Tantai Xianming in a white robe, carrying a food box, came walking over, he gazed at the dark poisonous pond ahead and gently said:

"Yue Pengwu."

"I’ve come to see you."
