Chapter 78 The advantage is in me
After Wu Jun's treatment, Gu Shuntian returned to normal except for lying on the bed and unable to move.
Several elders in the sect surrounded the bed, Gu Shuntian leaned on the bed and glanced at everyone, saying, "It is urgent to seek rebellion. Great Elder, please send people to the third prince and Doctor Wu."
The great elder Chen Keli frowned and said, "The leader is in a state of peace, so let's make a long-term plan for rebellion."
Seeing that he was provoking his authority, Gu Shuntian flashed a hint of anger on his face and said in a low voice: "Great Elder, I, the leader of the class, should have a count of my words?"
The elder wanted to speak but stopped, sighed slightly, and said, "I'll go and select people." After that, he bowed and with the other elders, he left the bedroom.
After everyone left, only Gu Shuntian and Hongchen were left in the room. A hint of coldness appeared on Gu Shuntian's face and he whispered: "These old people bully me young, and they all rely on their seniority and do not take me seriously at all. I will clean up them all sooner or later."
Hongchen advised: "The Great Elder contradicted the leader for the sake of my great cause."
Gu Shuntian sneered: "Ha, the elder is very determined and talented, and listening to his opinions will only make things worse.
When Sima Yuan rebelled, I wanted to take people to chase him. The elder was worried that there would be an ambush ahead, so he dissuaded me to stop chasing and asked Sima Yuan to escape. It was later confirmed that it was just Sima Yuan's suspicious plan, and there was no ambush ahead at all!"
"The old man named Miao Changle, the right guardian, was even more disgusting. He got drunk that day and spoke the truth after drinking, shouting that I was a yellow-mouthed child, short-sighted, and only focused on the Western Regions. There is no hope of carrying forward this sect in this life!"
"Miao Changle insults me, Chen Keli insults me, Sima Yuan betrays me!"
"There are few people who are in the teachings and can take on heavy responsibilities. It is time for me to cultivate a few talents."
Hongchen secretly observed his face and carefully tentatively said: "The leader thinks there is anyone in our sect that can be made?"
Gu Shuntian looked at Hongchen with a smile and said, "You have grown up with me since childhood. As long as you can be promoted to a great scholar, the position of the Left Guardian is yours."
Hongchen hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"
Gu Shuntian nodded and continued, "Doctor Wu is a man of great thought and a talent that can be made. He also has a great master and an arhat around him to help him. If he can quell the rebellion this time, it would be better to grant him the position of elder.
And he has no foundation in the religion, and even if he delegates power to him, he doesn’t have to worry about his rebellion like Sima Yuan.”
When Hongchen heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved and made an excuse, "Master, you have just recovered from a serious illness and need to be at ease to cultivate. I'll go and get medicine for you." Then he hurriedly took the door and walked out, and rode his horse towards the medicine shop in the town of Shanxia.
On the other side, Wu Jun and others returned to the room and several people gathered together to discuss.
The third prince said with a worried look: "Are we going to fight Sima Yuan tomorrow? Sima Yuan is proficient in military formations and strategies. If he suffers a loss, Gu Shuntian will be evil. It will be difficult to find an opportunity to cross the Tianqian Mountain."
Wu Jun looked out the window and saw that no one was watching, and whispered: "Who said he was going to attack Sima Yuan? Our goal was to go to Tianqian Mountain. When we meet Sima Yuan tomorrow, we will surrender immediately. With the 500-person gift package we gave us, Sima Yuan must be in a good mood. It is not a trivial matter to let us go to Tianqian Mountain."
The third prince immediately reacted, his eyes lit up, and he said confidently: "I know what to do, isn't it just surrender? Now I have understood the trick. No one can defeat me before I surrender, and the Martial Saint cannot come!"
Listening to the third prince's assurance, Wu Jun's eyes twitched twice.
At this time, an old voice sounded outside the yard, which immediately made several people alert.
"The third prince, Doctor Wu, the soldiers who fought against the rebels are ready. Please come out and accept it."
The few people looked at each other, Wu Jun nodded and led the people out of the door. He saw the Great Elder Chen Keli standing at the door with a worried look, followed by a group of soldiers in armor.
Wu Jun smiled and bowed to the Great Elder, and said, "I'm sorry, the Great Elder."
The elder nodded, turned sideways and made way for the road, looked at the soldiers in front of him and said, "These five hundred people are all elite soldiers of the Galan Kingdom selected from one in a hundred. The military formation formed by me personally trained by me can fight against a great scholar."
Wu Jun swept the 500 soldiers with great majestic and murderous aura outside the yard and said in surprise: "It's incredible that the Great Elder can actually train the military formation!"
The elder smiled slightly: "This military formation practice method was stolen from the army by a senior in the sect, and all elders in the sect can practice it. However, if you want to say that the best training of the army is the rebel Sima Yuan."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The eight hundred strait soldiers in Sima Yuan's hands can also rank in the top three among the entire Western Regions. They are second only to the Great Wisdom Buddhist Kingdom. They are comparable to the Lion Guards in the Leiyin Buddha Kingdom. They are the strongest combat power in our religion."
"It's a pity that Sima Yuan was caught in something evil, and he actually came out with Zhige Camp, causing heavy losses to our sect..."
Wu Jun sneered in his heart, thinking that if Sima Yuan did not rebel, we might not be able to get through this Tianqian Mountain no matter what. He said, "Since the people have arrived, let's set off immediately and attack Sima Yuan at night!"
The elder was stunned for a moment, then stopped anxiously and said, "No! Sima Yuan occupied the favorable terrain on the top of the mountain, waiting for work. In addition, we rushed to attack overnight, and the soldiers were exhausted. If we use our troops like this, we will be defeated but not defeated!"
Wu Jun explained with a serious expression: "The Great Elder is a bad word. The war is a trick. Even the Great Elder would not have thought that we would go to the night attack. Sima Yuan must have even more thought that only such unexpected actions can achieve success in one blow!"
"Soldiers are also insidious ways..."
The elder was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought about Wu Jun's words. He felt that although his words were somewhat reasonable, they seemed to not apply to this siege.
Just as he was about to dissuade him again, Wu Jun had already rode on his horse, waved his nine-ring tin staff in his hand, and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me to go to war! The elder, please fill your wine glass and wait for me to come back to drink the wine to celebrate!"
Seeing Wu Jun leading his troops away, the elder sighed helplessly and had to pray for God's blessing so that Wu Jun could return victoriously.
In the darkness, Wu Jun rode on his horse and led the five hundred soldiers behind him to slowly head towards the top of the mountain.
