Chapter 71: The Story of Song Ren's Treasure, Part Two

  Tianyu did not agree to Sima Yue's invitation for him to go to Lu Suiqi's military account to listen to stories. He also didn't have as much reserve towards Sima Yue as he did with Lu Suiqi, directly asking him what Lu Suiqi was trying to do by doing this, whether it was to rebel?

  Simu Yue heard the two words "plotting rebellion" and was taken aback, then burst out laughing, as if he had just heard the most hilarious joke in history. Seeing that Tian Yu's misunderstanding ran deep, he didn't bother to explain much to him. He said to Tian Yu: "General, wait a moment, I'll have the goddess summoned here right away." After finishing speaking, he hastily left the tent, still chuckling all the way.

  Simayue's performance made Tian Yu feel much more at ease, and he thought in confusion: "Could it be that I really misunderstood her? But if she wasn't rebelling, why would she make such a strange big move?"

  He called for the captain of the guard to bring in some soldiers, and they stood on either side of the tent while the captain stood beside Tian Yu.

  Tian Yu did this to make himself safer, but now not only he himself, the entire military camp has been made nervous by Luo Siqi's strange behavior, including the guards who know that the commander is setting up such a large formation because the deputy commander and the goddess are coming next, the goddess's divine power has long been spread in the army as if it were true, and to a large extent, this rumor was also allowed by King Chu and may have been done by him, the purpose is simple, that is, to boost the morale of the 50,000 troops, make them full of confidence, so that they will not be intimidated when they see the 150,000-strong allied army of Qi and Jin before the battle.

  So the people in the account saw Tian Yu's posture, and they all thought he was going to do something to the goddess. Luo Siqi's magic had too much mental pressure on these soldiers who were ordinary people with good martial arts skills.

  This is how, when Rosy entered the commander's tent, these guys who should have been spirited and proud were all tense and shrinking back, some soldiers even trembling in their legs, completely failing to play the role of supporting their commander.

  Luo Siqi took one look at the crowd in her tent and the behavior of these people, and she immediately understood everything. As the mastermind behind this situation, she couldn't help but secretly laugh to herself.

  She not only found it amusing in her heart, but also didn't hide it on the surface, which made Tian Yu feel deeply humiliated. He didn't know if Luosi was laughing at him for being afraid or laughing at the guards he had set up being useless against her.

  Luosi Qi sat down on Tian Yu's left side with a smile, while Sima Yue sat down on the right side. Before Tian Yu could even open his mouth, he heard Luosi Qi say to him with a smile: "General Tian might have some misunderstandings about my behavior, because it involves secrets, and now I'll let you dismiss your men, you will definitely agree, so let me tell you a story first! Maybe after hearing this story, you will relax a lot!"

  Tian Yu really disliked the tone that Luosi used towards him, she didn't put him in her eyes at all. However, due to Luosi's identity and her powerful abilities, he couldn't afford to offend her, so he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Goddess, please speak."

  Tian Yu heard from Luo Siqi a story about a Song dynasty treasure guardian. The content of the story is as follows:

  A long, long time ago, in the state of Song, there was a young man with the surname Luo. Every day, he would go to a distant riverbank to fetch water and irrigate his family's vegetable garden. His courtyard was well-tended, with peach trees, apricot trees, and some very beautiful flowers and grasses.

  One day he felt that it was too tiring to fetch water every day, so he decided to dig a well in his own courtyard, so he didn't have to go to the river to fetch water laboriously every day.

  He dug and dug, and unexpectedly dug out a horseshoe made of pure gold. This was seen by passerby A who happened to be passing by, but instead of making a fuss, he saw the young man with the surname Luo see him and hastily walked away.

  The young man named Luo hastily took the horseshoe gold back to his house, not even bothering to dig a well anymore. He just wanted to hide it in the safest and most secret place as soon as possible. However, no matter where he put it, he felt insecure and uneasy.

  Later, he had no choice but to hold onto the horseshoe gold every night. He started hearing noises outside at night, which became more frequent and louder. He was terrified and placed an axe by his pillow. The noise continued every night, and he couldn't sleep well, fearing being attacked. His mental state deteriorated, yet he still clutched the horseshoe gold tightly every night.

  Luosiqi finished telling the story and looked at Tianyu with a smile, Tianyu was even more bewildered after hearing it, he looked at Luosiqi in confusion, this was the first time in his life that he had met someone who could make him completely at a loss.

  Kexue Qi just smiled and looked at him, no longer speaking. The soldier was originally impatient, seeing her not speaking, Tian Yu couldn't bear it anymore, he started asking her: "I'm saying, Goddess, what's the point of telling this story? What does it have to do with you stopping the army and not letting anyone leave?"

  Lucy said with great interest: "Want to know?" Her eyebrows were almost raised to the sky.

  "I want to know! Ah!" Tian Yu is now really being played around by this little girl in front of him.

  Luosha couldn't help but feel a little pleased with herself as she watched the highest commander in the military, who had a great reputation, being reduced to this state. However, she didn't want to give Tianyu an answer directly, because she wasn't sure if she would really go to battle with the Qi and Jin allied armies. If she was indeed drawn into this war, she hoped that through this action, she could leave Tianyu with a profound and mysterious impression, making him put away his disdain for her. This way, she could gain more say in the war, rather than being treated like Tianyu had previously imagined - as just a powerful special weapon.

  My future is in my own hands, after watching Love Apartment's Luo Siqi I felt that this sentence was said too right, especially in today's era of national competition filled with threats at all times, in the midst of tens of thousands of troops' crazy hacking, once a decision is made incorrectly, even if she has some special abilities, if she falls into the sea of tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, the situation will also be quite unfavorable.

  So she just said to Tian Yu: "General Tian, I'll give you a hint. In what situation do you think it's necessary to block the message?"

  Tian Yu thought for a moment and replied according to his past experience: "Blocking the news, of course, is to keep it confidential. For example, when two armies are facing each other, in order to achieve a surprise victory, before an important military action, to prevent the enemy from knowing, they will strictly block the news. But now we have just left the country for not long, and here, at least twenty days' journey is needed to reach Zheng Guo, let alone any important military decisions that need to be kept confidential!"

  Luosi smiled mysteriously, and her smile suddenly lit up Tianyu's mind. His voice unconsciously rose as he asked Luosi, "Is the secret matter unrelated to rescuing Zheng Guo?"
