Chapter 1218: Thousand-Mile Surprise Attack, Wondrous Plan To Take Down an Enemy!

Qi Emperor Palace, Taihe Hall.

It was 8 a.m, and all the important characters of the four diplomatic groups had arrived.

“The second round is the commander’s battle. But for this batch, there’s something new, a thousand-mile surprise attack. The mission is to take the heads of a few bandit leaders that are wreaking havoc in the Qi Empire’s borders.

The Qi Emperor sat on his throne and chortled as he looked at everyone. “Whoever can get the most heads the quickest will be the winner!”

“Alright, I’ve finished speaking about the rules and requests. The concrete content is in the book and the time limit is half a month. As for what to do, you guys can make your own plans!”

A few eunuchs hurriedly passed the books with the content of the commander’s battle to everyone.

“Royal Father, I’ll take my leave first!”

Jiang Yuzhen directly took it. She didn’t view it carefully and decided to leave first.

This round was clearly advantageous to Jiang Yuzhen. However, no one cared too much about this because the home ground advantage was a hidden rule that everyone agreed to silently.

“Great Teacher Sun!”

A little eunuch bowed and passed the book to Sun Mo.

“Thanks!”

Sun Mo politely replied. This caused that little eunuch to feel overwhelmed by favor from a superior and he directly contributed 1,000 favorable impression points.

To put it unpleasantly, no one treated eunuchs as humans in the palace. Sun Mo was the only one that would say thank you to them.

“Are there any judges following them? What if someone cheats?”

Sun Mo frowned. At the very least, there had to be people bringing image-recording stones to record, right?

“The Qi Empire is on their home ground and they will definitely have an advantage. Moreover, which empire wouldn’t bring along some hidden trump cards?”

Li Xiu’s lips twitched. “Ziqi, just give up this round. Rest well and prepare for the individual battle!”

“That’s right, the Qi Empire is the host, and they definitely will obtain the first place. The first two parts of this battle are simply to allow them to boost their fame. Jiang Yuzhen would win for sure.”

After Han Cangshui finished speaking, he changed his tone. “But the more this is so, the more we have to seize the food from the mouth of the tiger. Xuan`er, let’s go!”

There was no need to ask. Han Cangshui would also personally set out.

“Teacher, what should we do? Should we give up?”

Xianyu Wei felt that it was more important to let her eldest martial sister rest well. After all, the Great Tang had secured the most victories as of now. As long as she could perform well in the individual battle, Great Tang would be number one for sure.

“Ziqi, what do you think?”

Sun Mo didn’t mind it.

“I want to win!”

These four words expressed her intentions clearly. They were filled with battle intent.

She was Sun Mo’s student. This battle not only concerned her reputation, but it also involved her teacher. She definitely had to win this beautifully.

“Eldest Martial Sister, I’ll go with you!”

Tantai Yutang recommended himself.

“I want to go too!”

Helian Beifang liked commanding soldiers to fight wars.

“Let’s go back and discuss in our hotel!”

Sun Mo glanced at them. Everyone knew this wasn’t a convenient place to continue speaking hence all of them soon departed.

...

In the hotel, in one of the guest rooms.

“I feel that speed is a crucial asset in war. If we want to win, we have to find those bandit heads before Jiang Yuzhen.”

Tantai Yutang was now frowning very intensely. “But I’m afraid that before Jiang Yuzhen even arrived, someone would have executed those bandits and prepared their heads for her.”

“Jiang Yuzhen isn’t someone like that.”

Sun Mo shook his head. “Even if the Qi Emperor wanted to do this, Jiang Yuzhen would never agree!”

“It will definitely be too slow if we bring our soldiers. We might as well rush there using Little Silver and offer high prices to recruit soldiers from there.”

Helian Beifang suggested.

“That type of soldiers won’t be able to fight well, right?”

Lu Zhiruo was worried.

“What if someone obstructs us and we won’t be able to recruit any soldiers?”

Xianyu Wei was also worried.

“Can you guys change your thinking a little? Why do we need a group of soldiers just to kill these few bandits?”

The sickly invalid was speechless.

“I thought this round was supposed to test one’s commanding ability in warfare. With no soldiers, how can this be tested?”

Xianyu Wei was astonished. “Besides, the information given by the Qi Emperor states that out of the four bandit leaders, the weakest one has 3,000 bandits under his command!”

“Recruiting soldiers wastes too much time. We might as well bring the royal guards. Because they can fly, the stronghold of the bandits, which are typically easy to defend and hard to attack, will be extremely simple for us to handle!”

Jiang Leng suggested.

Sun Mo smiled and watched everything, not expressing his opinion. He wanted his students to resolve this on their own.

After an entire morning of intense discussion, they had lunch. After that, a small team with Li Ziqi as the leader sat on the eight-gate cloud and set off.

Their target lived in the Golden Dragon Town, Zhishui Lake. It was the bandit leader Miao Xian with the title of ‘Chaotic River Dragon’.

This small team consisted of a total of six people. The members were the team leader Li Ziqi, the think-tanker cum doctor Tantai Yutang, the scout Jiang Leng, Qin Yaoguang as well as Helian Beifang who will be in charge of the miscellaneous tasks, and lastly, the team’s ‘pet’ Lu Zhiruo.

Actually, everyone didn’t want to bring the papaya girl along as they felt she couldn’t fight and wouldn’t be able to think of any ideas. She would just be a burden. However, Sun Mo made the decision and got them to bring her along.

The papaya girl’s luck was very good. It was enough for her to be a lucky mascot.

...

The journey on the eight-gate cloud didn’t even need an afternoon. They traveled 300 miles and arrived at the Golden Dragon Mountain.

“As expected of a treasure ranked ten on the darkness species list!”

Tantai Yutang praised.

“What should we do now? Should we directly go over to start killing?”

Lu Zhiruo seemed to be brimming with desire.

“We should stay in the town and spread the news first!”

Tantai Yutang spoke confidently, “Wait for the right opportunity!”

...

Since Miao Xian could gather a group of a few thousand bandits, it showed that both his courage and brains weren’t bad.

He knew that if he had to survive, he must have many informants to know the direction of the imperial court in advance. So, during these few years, his informant network had infiltrated the Golden Dragon Town completely.

Many lake bandits would pretend to be ordinary folks, or they would act as information gatherers to provide info for Miao Xian.

“Leader, things are bad. The old emperor has listed you as a mission target for the Five Empires War Discussion. The competition is to see who can cut off your head first!”

A bandit reported with an anxious expression.

“What?”

Although Miao Xian looked imposing and tyrannical, he was actually a young man with a very short stature that would look like a turtle if he carried a shell on his back. “Who told you about this?”

“Someone is already spreading this news in the town!”

The bandit didn’t dare to conceal anything.

Miao Xian sank into contemplation. If it wasn’t for his identity, he also wanted to go and watch the Five Empires War Discussion. He counted the time and right now was still in the midst of the war discussion. But even if there was some news, it wasn’t possible for it to spread here that quickly, right?

“Could it be that someone wants to target me?”

Miao Xian did a mental run-through of his enemies.

No matter who became the target of the mission in the Five Empires War Discussion, that target would die for sure. After all, for the sake of glory, the princes and princesses of the five empires would surely think of all sorts of methods to kill that person.

So, once he received this news, he would surely choose to flee. In that case, the position he left behind would surely benefit his competitors.

“Wanting to use such a childish trick to swindle me? How naive!”

Miao Xiao coldly laughed. “Let’s leave. Go and tell our brothers to work harder and pay attention to the movements in the town. They are also to scout areas up to 30 miles away from it. I want to see who has the guts to pull my dragon’s beard!”

Two days later, Miao Xian was no longer so composed because the spies in the town reported that a group of people had stationed themselves there.

From the looks of things, they were very rich.

The moment they arrived, they immediately spent a lot and started to recruit soldiers and buy horses.

“Damn, it can’t be, right? Did I really become the target?”

Miao Xian felt a headache, feeling that this was an undeserved catastrophe.

“No, I have to hurry up and run away!”

Miao Xian glanced at the surroundings. (But I don’t wish to give up on this successful career!)

At this moment, a clear voice entered his ears.

“Hey, wanna make a deal?”
