Chapter Thirty-Eight: Zhu Chi, the Wood King
"Marshal, military advisor, the last general Zhu Chi asks to see!"
Cha He, who was frowning, immediately perked up when he heard this, raised his hand and said, "Please come in!"
The curtain of the door was gently lifted, and a young general in his early twenties stepped in, with a heroic spirit that is not common among Chengtian generals between his eyebrows, and he was quite handsome, and from a distance, he could be regarded as a quiet beautiful man.
"Hehe, it turned out to be the little prince. Please be seated, please be seated!" Su Butai greeted warmly, and invited the young general to sit down on a chair in the big tent.
"Thank you, Strategist!". After the young general saluted, he sat down peacefully. As for Cha He Buhua, he silently observed the young man in front of him, with a trace of disdain on his face.
It turned out that this young general was a distant cousin of King Hailing, named Zhu Chi. After King Hailing ascended the throne, for some reason, Zhu Chi was named the Wood King of the Five Elements Heavenly Kings of the Chengtian Empire. This move made many imperial relatives talk about it, and many generals in the army also complained about it. In this attack on the Beihai Kingdom, King Hailing actually sent Zhu Chi, the king of wood, who was just in his early twenties, to the army of Chahe Buhua as a ten-figure commander under his command to fight.
Although he didn't look down on this little prince, Chahe Buhua never showed any disrespect at least on the surface. After all, there must be some unknown reason why this wood king can get the respect of His Majesty the Emperor. At least, it's not a character that he can offend by observing and not spending.
"I don't know what the little prince is here late at night, what's the matter?" Cha He Buhua took the lead in breaking the silence and said "cordially".
When Zhu Chi heard this, he arched his hand and said loudly: "Marshal, the last general came tonight to visit the marshal's injury. However, just now, the last general heard about the fraudulent death, but he felt quite interesting about it, I don't know what these four words mean?"
Subutai and Chahe Buhua glanced at each other, and then told Zhu Chi, the king of wood, about the previously agreed strategy of deceitful death.
"Alas, little prince. Although this plan is good, but at present, there is no one in the formation of my party legion, and the chief of Baitu is even more deadly and wounded, and even the commander is seriously injured. Even if the marshal can recover a certain combat ability within a few days, Bai Hui, who is stationed at Feiyu Pass, is also a senior ice general, and with the marshal's current injury, he may not be sure to win. What's more, Lao Kule also unfortunately died today, and there is no one to lead the reinforcements of the rear army!"
"I see. Indeed, after many days of fierce fighting, our army suffered more casualties. Especially in today's battle, hundreds of thousands of our soldiers died under the shelling of the Northern Navy, which is really incredible. However, the military advisor said that there was no one available for me to go to the party corps, and Zhu Chi thought that it might not be!" As soon as the words fell, a layer of purple light appeared on the surface of Zhu Chi's body, and the originally listless Cha He Buhua's eyes burst out, staring at Zhu Chi deadly, revealing a look of shock.
Seeing the purple light on Zhu Chi's body, Su Butai felt incredible at first, and then suddenly realized something, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Marshal, it seems that the original plan can be put into practice. I really didn't expect that the power of the little prince's sage turned out to be the seventh level, the same as the marshal, but he was really a hero from ancient times. No wonder His Majesty the Emperor values the prince so much and named you the King of Wood. "Subutai slapped a sycophant from the heart.
"Little prince, I didn't expect you to have such strength. Ben Shuai used to be sloppy, please Haihan!" Cha and Buhua said with their fists clenched.
"Marshal, military advisor, you're welcome. Zhu Chi just wanted to do a little bit for our army. It's just that Marshal, your injuries are too serious, so it's better to let Zhu Chi do the task of this night attack, and you lead the rear army as support, how about it?" Zhu Chi said confidently.
If Zhu Chi said this before he showed his strength, then Chahe Buhua would definitely scoff at it. But this moment is different, Chahe Buhua already sees the little prince in front of him as a master on the same level as himself.
"I think it's okay. Marshal, we were originally calculated by heart and without intention. Since the little prince has such strength, let him be the vanguard, and the marshal will lead the rear army as reinforcements, which can be described as the best of both worlds!"
"Well, since the military advisor said so, there is King Laomu. Three days later, the military division can convey to the whole army the news that the commander is seriously injured and has died, and let the whole army wear linen and filial piety, and make full momentum. Zhu Chi!"
"The last general!" Zhu Chi stood up straight and said solemnly.
"Ben Shuai ordered you to lead your headquarters to sneak closer to Feiyu Pass tomorrow night, and find a hiding place to hide. Five days later, your troops launched a sneak attack on Feiyu Pass. At that time, the commander will lead the rear army to personally reinforce him!" Chahe Buhua ordered.
"The last general will obey!" After speaking, Wood King Zhu Chi raised his head, and the three of them looked at each other, all smiling.
