Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Seven: Qi Xiao Doesn't S

never disguised his ambition, that he would one day return to Yu Guo to wreak havoc.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Of course, judging by Wu Yi's current contact, the...Jue Ming Dao, I've heard so much about it. This is my first time here.

Northbound and southbound, the sea breeze is wide. Before the might of Marquis Wuan had even reached Jueming Island from Huai, Marquis Wuan had already arrived there first.

There wasn't much of a welcoming procession either, no flags or cheering.

On Jueming Island, its own duties kept the soldiers busy. However, wherever Jiang Wang went, he was met with eyes of reverence.

The Marquis of Wu'an, Great Qi, who commanded three thousand households, represented a young man with no background, who achieved the highest possible position in this dominant Eastern land through his own hard work and perseverance.

And this is far from the end.

>

He is only twenty-two years old, and he is just one step away from the government hall or the military hall.

Many people understand in their hearts that the emperor sent him overseas precisely to complete this final step.

If we were to speak of times past, Jiang Wang might have been able to become the next Jiang Mengxiong; that was a mere hope held by a select few.

After his return from the demon realm, this had almost become a consensus.

Within the scope of the entire Qiansha Archipelago, Jueming Island lies to the south, Huai Island in the middle, and Yanggu Island to the north. They stand like three sharp prongs of a trident, facing the raging waves of the East China Sea.

Like a banner of a dragon suppressing the sea, it has stood for centuries, uniting fishermen and stabilizing the coastal defenses. However, unlike Huai Island and Yanggu Valley, Jue Ming Island is an artificial island.

It is extremely wide and vast, able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people living on the island.

Yet it was the people of Qi who diverted underground streams, pushed back the tide, and piled up earth and stone, bit by bit, to build it.

It had no inherent advantages, but after it was built, it became the strongest fortress on the sea frontier.

...in reality, it endured the greatest pressure from the Realm of Illusion.

Here's the translated text:

At that moment, the inscription "Jue Ming" on the Zhenhai Stone at the landing point of Dengdao was personally carved by General Jiang Mengxiong, the god of war of the Daqi Army.

The saying goes, "Pay with life and death to determine light from darkness." In this place, the purple flag of Dongguo flutters in the wind.

At this time, Jueming Island had no one besides Qi Xiao whose status was equal to Jiang Wang's.

But he still upheld the duty of a junior, honestly guarding himself on the outlying island, respectfully sending his name card and asking for it to be passed on.

For Qi Xiao, he is held in very high regard.

And not to mention that they had an early friendship from their time at the Pre-Heaven Stage, as well as a destiny ordained by Heaven itself to learn the art of war.

Qi Xiao's legendary experiences also made her an object of admiration for countless women, causing many to blush.

The higher one climbs, the more one understands the deep-rooted nature of those aristocratic families.

He, Jiang某, rose to prominence in just a few years, establishing a massive network of connections within the state of Qi. Those established families with ancient lineages, their underlying foundations were even more terrifyingly immense.

And Qi Xiao severed all ties, threw himself into military service, and finally snatched the Xia Shi from the hands of the Donglai Qi clan, becoming the commander of the Nine Soldiers, and entering the Hall of Military Affairs.

The difficulty of this matter is no less than that of Chong Xuanxin holding the autumn kill.

The second time Li met Qi Xiao, dusk had already fallen, and night was about to descend. The place was in her tent at the easternmost edge of Jueming Island —

Yes, the entire island of Jueming is without a single piece of civil construction. It's all made up of military tents. There isn't a single commoner here; all that are stationed are warriors.

Arms are the fence, swords and spears are the forest, iron sand is the road.

This is a huge military camp, with the kind of danger you feel when holding a torch alone in the wilderness. In such a Qiguo military camp heavily garrisoned by troops, the greatest feeling you get is "insecurity."

You are unable to relax, and you even have difficulty breathing.

I chanced upon some patrolling soldiers, each with watchful eyes and a restrained murderous aura, missing nothing in the slightest breeze or rustle.

From observing his demise, one can see his military prowess. Qi Xiao's style of command can be glimpsed through this.

"Throughout his journey, Marquis Wuan has seen much. Has he learned anything" On the handsome tent of Jue Ming Island, Qi Xiao didn't raise his head when asking this question. The tent was not luxurious, even to say it was too simple.

She was clad in armor, standing before a case. Her left hand rested on her sword hilt, while her right hand pointed at the sword. She gently moved her fingers across the map laid out on the wooden table, as if searching for something.

From Jiang Wang's perspective, he could only see the tip of her nose and lips that seemed eternally cold. He knew this question was a test.

Although it is the emperor's will that the commander of the Summer Corpse Army teach Marquis Wu'an military strategy, Qi Xiao, as someone at the pinnacle of power in the state of Qi, has ample freedom. Furthermore, teaching is a matter of adapting to one's students. What should be taught, and how much, must always be tailored to their abilities.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang bitterly smiled: "With my military talent, at most I'm just a small soldier under Qi Shuai's command. How could I possibly have any teachings to give"

Qi Xiao still hadn't lifted his head: "Humility is a virtue, but not in the army." Jiang Wang didn't argue that he wasn't being humble, just that he was self-aware.

Before going to Jueming Island, I hadn't truly met Qi Xiao. After arriving, her style was everywhere. She probably wouldn't like to argue.

Jiang Wang earnestly said, "There are no suggestions, only feelings. Discipline, danger, and vigilance." "If you absolutely must offer some advice" Qi Xiao's voice sounded.

"Is this a military order" Jiang Wang asked.

But before his words had even finished, he realized that he'd asked a stupid question.

Qi Xiao's finger tracing a sword across the輿圖 paused, for the first time lifting his head to look at Jiang Wang: "Where do you think you stand now"

The outside was already quiet, but at this time the flags were rustling like thunder rolling in, a terrifying display. This is the woman whom his younger sister, Qu Shunhua, admired most... truly dangerous!

Please let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Acknowledge mistakes, face them head-on.

Jiang Wangzi stood straight and said, "If my subordinate must offer advice, I think Jueming Island could benefit from building high walls and numerous strong crossbows to strengthen its defenses."

The general of the summer corpses before the military case said in a low voice: “There used to be high walls here. After I came, I demolished them all.”

Jiang Wangdao: "I don't quite understand, but I will carry out the order."

"A high wall will make people feel safe, and security will allow them to relax," Qi Xiao said. "This is not a place where one can relax, and the opponent we face is not one that allows for relaxation." Jiang Wang said: "People like Qi Shuai are naturally fearless in the face of pressure, but it's the soldiers under his command... who may find it difficult to bear."

"The soldiers under my command usually rotate every six months, and the longest they stay is no more than a year. After all, the mental pressure here is indeed different from anywhere else," Qi Xiao said with a nonchalant smile. "If you want to learn military strategy from me, have you thought it through"

Jiang Wang only said, "As for resisting pressure, I can still do it."

Qi Xiao nodded, agreeing to let him join his army. He then asked, "Did you come here by yourself"

From this moment on, he officially became Qi Xiao's subordinate, destined to fight alongside him and learn military strategy from him in the coming time.

Now it's time for a lesson.

Jiang Wang could roughly understand the point of the question and answered truthfully: "I went to Tianxingya to handle some personal matters, my guard unit is still on the way."

The speed of a divine being is incomparable to that of ordinary cultivators, especially since he also possesses exceptional footwork.

He had even gone to the Heavenly Punishment Cliff, taking all of the San Xing Gong's true teachings to Huai Island. Bai Yu Xia and those who had been added to the Hou Mansion Guard were still drifting on some dragon-bone ship somewhere.

By now, Jiang Wang's strength is such that bodyguards are hardly effective. But one must always have soldiers under their command when learning military strategy.

The Hou Mansion Guards were his escorts in peacetime, and on the battlefield they became his messengers. They were the physical extension of him within the army formation, the outward manifestation of his will.

Any renowned general has such a guard at his disposal. They are pampered during peacetime and give their lives in war.

At the head of thousands upon thousands, he relied on this personal guard as the framework. Only then could they move with lightning speed, at his command. When Jiang looked to the Demon Realm and the realm of illusions, he always brought along these two hundred men in his personal guard. It wasn't that he didn't have more troops — Lao Shan had a squadron of cavalry waiting.

Instead, he had a clear understanding of himself and knew that he currently did not have the ability to command a large army. An army of tens of thousands, with two hundred elite guards as the core, would be enough.

"When will it be here" Qi Xiao asked.

"It'll be here soon," Jiang Wang replied.

"Soon" Qi Xiao's voice rose.

Jiang Wangqing knew things were not good, so she forced a smile and said: "Unless something unexpected happens, we should reach Jueming Island before sunset tomorrow."

Qi Xiao looked at him silently, making him very uncomfortable. She then said, "I must remind you, this is a march. You should give me a specific time point down to the minute, with an error margin of no more than three minutes. Instead of giving me such a vague time range, or telling me 'it's coming soon.'"

Jiang Wang felt a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. For a moment or two, he felt like he was back in the Donghua Pavilion, facing a mountain of "Records of History's Blades." This damn feeling of pressure!

"I know I was wrong. This won't happen again." He said earnestly.

Qi Xiao didn't press further, only saying in a calm voice, "You lack understanding of your guards, let alone control them. Or perhaps, you are simply too lazy to do so. You usually leave your guards behind and do your own thing"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"About... that's about it." Jiang Wang replied with difficulty.

Qi Xiao's voice was always not high: "Can it be done during peacetime, but can it be done in wartime" Jiang Wang answered very resolutely: "No!"

Qi Xiao asked again, "You have an outstanding talent in your guards who can handle everything for you perfectly, including training troops... You don't need to worry about anything at all, right"

If facing Xiu Yuan, Jiang Wang would probably casually flatter him by saying, "General, as always, you have foreseen everything."

>

But facing Qi Xiao, he honestly replied: "Bai Yu Xia Bai is now staying in my mansion. He is indeed a genius, proficient in both literature and martial arts. As for military strategy, I am far inferior to him."

Qi Xiao let out an "Oh" and said, "He's not allowed on the island."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After finishing his words, he lowered his head to look at the sand table again, indicating that this conversation had come to an end. Jiang Wang performed a military salute and quietly withdrew from the command tent.

It was truly... a profoundly memorable lesson.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although he participated in several battles and was awarded the title of marquis for his military achievements, he never dared to say that he understood the true meaning of "military strategy".

He has also come into close contact with many famous generals.

Cao Cao's military strategy was always incredibly steady. He would often just advance in an orderly fashion, and his opponents would be crushed without any chance to react or even put up a fight.

Lord Dingyuan, Chongxuan Zhu Liangbing, was renowned for his fierce martial prowess and ruthless killing intent. His enemies often fled in terror, and he consistently achieved stunning victories on the battlefield.

And Qi Xiao gave him a feeling of danger. Extreme danger.

It felt like I was alone in an endless wilderness, as night fell and shadows danced all around me.

You can't see what lurks in the darkness, but you know danger is all around. You don't know what those dangers are, but you know fear. You know that if you take one wrong step...you'll die.

Jiang Wang said that Bai Yu Xia was skilled in both literature and martial arts, this was not an exaggeration.

People say that Qi Wu'an Hou is unrivaled in fame, considered the foremost nobleman in Dongguo. But in reality, he lacks a solid foundation. Take his personal guards for example; they are all elite soldiers who have fought alongside him in the Xia lands, already the best of the best.

But in those truly great households, one cannot possibly enter.

Like Li Longchuan's personal guards, they were all born and raised within the Stone Gate Li family. Each one was loyal and dedicated. All of them were trained from a young age, proficient in battle formations, and capable of commanding most of the armies in Qi. They were true warriors who could help their general on the battlefield.

Zhong Xuan Sheng's ability to roam freely on the battlefield of Qi Xia was largely due to the role played by his father, Zhong Xuan Fu Tu's, fabricated "Shadow Guard" left for him by Zhong Xuan Chu Liang.

As for Jiang Wang's personal guard, they had only just been officially formed, and many battle formations needed to be rehearsed. They also lacked experience in truly high-level warfare.

>

They were all commoners, just serving in the army for food and pay.

>

But under Bai Yu's command, this fully-manned squad of two hundred bodyguards honed their skills and grew rapidly on the demon world battlefield.

Now, even a sharp eye could not tell that this iron-willed guard unit, which had only recently been formed, was anything special.

Just as Bai Yu's flaw once said, he was not afraid of doing a bad job, only that there were not enough soldiers! Marquis Wu'an took the lead and turned to Tianxing Cliff.

Upon receiving the urgent message, Bai Yu Xia immediately halted her training and gathered her team to set sail.

The letter was hastily written, containing nothing but the three words "Jueming Island". While this posed no difficulty for Bai Yu Xia, it was somewhat careless.

Let's just understand Bai Yu Xia as...the marquis trusting in his own abilities.

Thus, he rode out to sea. In order not to waste the Marquis' time, he communicated while walking, and cleared the way while sailing. The Marquis didn't even leave a guide or say hello to anyone passing by.

He had to explain over and over, that they were the guards of Marquis Wu'an and went to sea with him. When people asked where Marquis Wu'an was

>

The troops were divided into two groups!

In this situation, he still reached Jueming Island at the fastest speed while maintaining his guard force, and was finally stopped by the guards of Jueming Island.

Finally, when Marquis Wuan came out, he just patted my shoulder and told me to go to Huai Island for a while...

No.

>

Just as I served you, Jiang Wu'an, your meal, you disappeared in the demon realm, causing a building collapse. I, Bai Yu Xia, said not a word of complaint, faithful to my duty, burying myself in training.

Finally you're back, I've been training for a thousand days, just waiting for you to reorganize your forces. Then we can sweep across all directions together. At the same time, I'll continue to hone myself and explore the limits of the outer building, breaking through the barriers between heaven and man....

So I just got to Jueming Island and you fired me Are you afraid of me getting in your way!

>

The esteemed Duke of Wuan, would he believe in those empty and ethereal fortunes Would he not trust his own abilities Bai Yu Xia spread her hands wide, her mind filled with questions.

>

"Cough!" Although he was concerned with his own prestige, Marquis Wu'an lowered his voice and explained: "General Qi thinks that in terms of military strategy, I rely on you too much. Because you are with me, I haven't had the opportunity to fully utilize my tactics."

Bai Yu Xia blinked innocently, as if asking, "Lord Hou, what military tactics can you bring to the table"

But after all, since I'm eating someone else's food, I have to be a bit more tactful. So I said, "But if I leave... are you familiar with the eight formations we trained this year"

Wujianhou scratched his head and whispered, "When you get back, write me a booklet."

Bai Yu Xia asked again, "And have you also prepared the 'Record of Sea Creatures,' the 'Six Directions of the Vast Ocean,' and the 'Twenty-Six Naval Battles' which analyzes the most classic naval battles throughout history ..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Marquis of Wuan was indeed stumped. After some thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "You take it all, I'll carry it back." Bai Yu xia then knew that this time, General Qi Xiao had really issued a death order, and the Marquis couldn't disobey. He would even rather carry the books!

Enough! Bai is not a person who insists.

"Good." Bai Yu Xia glanced at the squad of guards she had personally trained, then handed all the books she had prepared for him for this voyage to Wǔ n Hóu. Afterwards, she turned and boarded a small, dilapidated boat by herself: "Go forth and make your mark, I'll stay here on unfamiliar Hái Dào Island, waiting for Lord Hou. It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, my life is always boring."

"Hold on a moment!" came the voice of Marquis Wu'an from behind.

Bai Yu Xia did not turn around, holding her sword straight and standing tall. She was very arrogant: "What is your command" "Nothing much...just reminding you, don't mention my name on Huai Island."

Bai Yu Xie only felt the sea wind was cold, blowing a chill through her heart. The sword hilt was also cold, the coldness penetrating to her very bones. She spoke in a low voice, "Your Highness, please rest assured."

Thus, a single leaf-shaped boat sailed far away, drifting alone into the vast sea.

Even if I, Bai, were to be beaten to death, cursed to death, or jump into the sea, I would never mention your name, Jiang Wuan!
