Chapter 236: Eight-Armed Earth Phase

Gu Huaiyi shook his head knowingly, he knew that the old man could easily defeat himself without using his magical power, and if he used his magical power, he would be wiped out in an instant.

The old man turned around and walked to the big tent: "Since you won't fight, then come in with me to change your clothes and drink some hot to warm up."

Gu Huaiyi followed the old man to the big tent, the old man first picked up the clothes he put on the ground, and then raised his hand to open the thick curtain in front of the big tent door, and motioned Gu Huaiyi to go in.

After Gu Huaiyi walked into the tent, he found that the round tent was not as weak as it looked from the outside.

Inside the tent was a fixed wall of one person high, made of wood, stone, and earth, mixed with hay for reinforcement, and on the outside of the wall was a circle of shelves filled with books and various ritual utensils.

On the table next to it was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and under the paperweight on the table was a stack of blank rune paper.

The old man motioned for Gu Huaiyi to move closer to the charcoal fire in the house, and then found a thick robe and handed it to him, "Change it on."

When Gu Huaiyi was changing clothes, the old man turned around and asked at the same time, "You shouldn't have been sold after being captured, what are you here for?" The court sent you to kill me? Or is there something else going on?"

When Gu Huaiyi heard the words "The imperial court sent you to kill me", he suddenly thought of something, and after quickly changing his clothes, he looked around again, looked carefully, and then hugged his fists and said, "Old man, didn't you ask your name?"

The old man turned to look at Gu Huaiyi: "I'm the Tuo Bi'er of the Tors Department."

Gu Huaiyi looked at the old man's appearance carefully, and recalled in his heart, after a long time, he finally remembered a person from the depths of his memory, and immediately said in surprise: "Could you be Tang Anshu, the eight-armed earth minister?"

The old man who was called Tang Anshu by Gu Huaiyi did not show any surprised look, but said, "Who are you?"

Gu Huaiyi knelt down and said, "The student is Gu Huaiyi, the disciple of the former Great Strategist Hu Shen, according to the seniority, I should call Mr. Uncle respectfully."

After Gu Huaiyi finished speaking, Tang Anshu showed a look of surprise.

Tang Anshu looked at Gu Huaiyi carefully: "You are Hu Shen's disciple?"

Gu Huaiyi nodded and said, "It's true."

Tang Anshu smiled helplessly, "Hu Shen's disciple turned out to be a deager? It's a big joke!"

Gu Huaiyi was not moved when he heard this: "The student is willing to become a deacon."

Tang Anshu was stunned: "Why?"

Gu Huaiyi said, "For the ideal."

"Ideal?" When Tang Anshu heard this word, he sneered, "Your armor is completely different from what I encountered before, what happened to you? How can you be so sane?"

Gu Huaiyi said: "I understand what Mr. means, after ordinary people are transformed into Decal Armor, although they retain their original memories, they no longer identify themselves as human beings, and will look for other Decyl Armor of the same kind. Ordinary carapaces usually live in groups, and even if they live with humans, they do so to hide, or to facilitate predation on humans to absorb essence."

When Tang Anshu heard Gu Huaiyi talk about this, he had some doubts in his heart, and he was even more puzzled about the purpose of Gu Huaiyi's trip: "You are not the most of the people who bought the armor from the Nanrong family."

Gu Huaiyi replied: "Originally, the Tors Department bought the armor and the elves from Nanrong's family, and the original armor was replaced by me, and the elves were also taken away by chance."

Tang Anshu was even more curious: "Why did you replace the original armor?"

Gu Huaiyi said: "The ostensible purpose is to rekindle the flame of the armor in Rouyuan, but in fact, the purpose is to come to you, although in the documents and records of the Huayuan Imperial Court, you died decades ago, but we have learned from special sources that you are still alive."

Tang Anshu lifted the iron kettle on the stove and poured a cup of hot tea for Gu Huaiyi: "This kind of tea is only available in Rouyuan in the whole world, you can taste it."

Gu Huaiyi smelled the fishy smell of the tea, and couldn't help frowning, but he still took a sip.

Originally, I thought that the tea smelled fishy and tasted sweet, but I didn't expect it to taste like I was drinking something mixed with blood and putrefaction, even Gu Huaiyi's armor was bad

He spit out, but he held back. Look at the book

Tang Anshu picked up his cup and tasted it slowly: "How does it taste?"

Gu Huaiyi shook his head: "The smell is incomparable, and it is unpleasant."

Tang Anshu smiled instead: "Yes, I like you, honestly, very much like me back then, so, when you were in the imperial court, even if you became a strategist, you were sent to a barren place far away from the capital, right?"

Gu Huaiyi smiled: "Barrenness is not counted, but there is really nothing to do, of course, even if there is something to do, I will not do it, I don't want to work with that group of fools."

Tang Anshu asked, "Why?"

Gu Huaiyi said disdainfully, "Because they are not worthy."

Tang Anshu laughed when he heard this: "I like you!"

After laughing for a while, Tang Anshu put away his smile and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Gu Huaiyi said: "Don't worry, even if I am hungry, I will definitely not make a move on you, because if I attack you, I am looking for death, and I will think of other ways, on the premise of trying not to harm people's lives, unless it is a damned person."

Tang Anshu poured another cup of fishy tea for Gu Huaiyi: "You said earlier that it was ostensibly to rekindle the flame of the armor in Rouyuan, but in fact it was to come to me, so you are a person with a dual identity."

Gu Huaiyi nodded and said, "I now belong to two organizations, the first organization is Yanxiazhi, others don't understand the meaning of the three words Yanxiazhi, but Mr. should be clear."

When Tang Anshu heard those three words, he chanted a poem: "I have my own smoke and haze ambition in my life, and I want to leave myself behind for a long time. Do you want to tell me that the person who formed this organization called Yanxiazhi is my Hu Shen, who turned his back on his ideals and joined the rebel Zhou Weifu?"

Hearing the name of Zhou Fu, Gu Huaiyi secretly laughed, because Zhou Zhou Fu was the real name of the Kai Emperor of the Dachang Dynasty.

Gu Huaiyi shook his head and said, "No, Yanxia Zhi was founded by my teacher, but my senior brother, the current imperial court strategist Sang Luo."

Yes, Gu Huaiyi is simply a chess piece thrown out by Sangluo, it should be said that Gu Huaiyi is willing to become a chess piece of Sangluo.

So, how did Gu Huaiyi become Li Chaonian's subordinate?

Tang Anshu was very surprised: "Sangluo? Is that genius?"

Gu Huaiyi smiled, "Sort of."

Tang Anshu saw something from Gu Huaiyi's smile: "You don't want to admit that Sang Luo is stronger than you."

"Indeed," Gu Huaiyi said honestly, "I'm also jealous of him, he can do a lot of things that I can't do, but he's still a man with a heart for the world."

Tang Anshu sighed: "When Zhou Zhou Fu raised his army, my junior brother defected, if he hadn't surrendered to Zhou Zhou Fu, how could Zhou Zhou Fu have asked Huayuan to establish the Dachang Dynasty."

At that time, Tang Anshu and Hu Shen were both strategists of the previous dynasty, and their teacher was the Nine Heavens priest of the previous dynasty.

Before the establishment of the Dachang Dynasty, there was no position of grand strategist, and they were all called the Nine Heavens Priest, that is, the person who communicated with the Nine Heavens God in place of the emperor, and the function was almost the same as that of the shaman priests of the Rouyuan Tors Department today.

In other words, whether it is Tang Anshu or Hu Shen, they are just former ministers of the previous dynasty.

The original ideal of the two was to establish an organization of strategists who were not bound by the imperial court on the basis of the earth's physiognomy, and the purpose of the organization was to stop the war, that is, to fully respect the peace gate in the "Auxiliary World Art of War" of the earthly minister.

The Art of War is divided into five sections, namely Measurement, Bing, Jia, Quan, and He.

Measurement is the art of speculation. This technique is mainly based on speculation, investigation, detective, problem solving, and lobbying.

Soldiers, the art of war. Focus on the layout of the art of war, marching formation, etc.

Jia, the art of business training. This technique specializes in the way of industrial, agricultural, and commercial management.

Right, the art of imperial ink. With the five keys of "sincerity, kindness, studiousness, ambition, wisdom and courage, and indisputability", he specializes in officialdom and strategy.

And, the art of Kuang Bi. With the four sentences of "although the world is peaceful, forget the war will fall", "the world is peaceful", "the world of the world", and "the lord of all peoples, not a person" as the four sentences, study the people and assist the world.

Because since the fall of the Kunlun Dynasty, successive dynasties

None of the nine plains has really been unified, so there has been little real peace for thousands of years, and almost all of them are in the midst of war.

When Tang Anshu became the prime minister, he hoped to help the imperial court unify the Jiuyuan, completely solve the man-made disaster, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Unexpectedly, after the previous dynasty stabilized a little, it completely forgot its original intention, from the royal family to the ministers, only for pleasure, regardless of the life and death of the people, and eventually led to the revolt of the people in various parts of Jiuyuan.

At that time, the treasury of the imperial court of the former dynasty was empty, so it could only decentralize power to various places and let each place recruit troops to solve the problem, which directly led to the separation of local forces.

Faced with this situation, Tang Anshu was almost completely desperate, so he hoped to return to the mountains and forests with his junior brother Hu Shen, devote himself to studying how to save the world, and then establish a Yanxia Zhi that can save the world.

However, Hu Shen's concept has changed, he believes that to save the world, although it is a difficult road, it also needs research, but research comes from practice.

It is impossible to retreat to the mountains and forests.

Since the chaotic situation of the previous dynasty cannot be resolved, the old order can only be overthrown and a new order established.

Hu Shen hopes to work with his senior brother Tang Anshu to find a new master and help the new master unify Jiuyuan, so that the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment.

Because of different ideas, the two parted ways, Tang Anshu hid in the mountains to concentrate on research, while Hu Shen chose Zhou Fu, who later became Emperor Dingyuan, among the many forces.

After Hu Shen helped Emperor Dingyuan establish the Dachang Dynasty, he naturally became a great strategist, but Hu Shen knew in his heart that he would never be as good as his senior brother Tang Anshu in some aspects, so he persuaded Emperor Dingyuan to find Tang Anshu and ask Tang Anshu to come out of the mountain.

Emperor Dingyuan has long heard of Tang Anshu, you must know that when Tang Anshu was still a strategist in the previous dynasty, he was even more powerful than the teacher who was the priest of the Nine Heavens at that time, and many rebellions at that time were led by Tang Anshu to quell the rebellion, and there were countless battles with fewer victories.

Although the people sent by Emperor Dingyuan did find Tang Anshu in the mountains, no matter how they persuaded him, even if Hu Shen personally came to the door to plead, Tang Anshu was unwilling to go out of the mountain.

For Emperor Dingyuan, who has been fighting for eight years and has just been proclaimed emperor, if Tang Anshu can't call himself a vassal and use it for himself, then the existence of this person is a huge threat.

Therefore, Emperor Dingyuan sent people to assassinate Tang Anshu in the mountains without Hu Shen's knowledge, but when the assassins arrived, Tang Anshu had already left.

Tang Anshu came to the door in person to plead, and after he refused, he secretly left. He knew very well that his refusal would mean becoming a thorn in the side of the new court.

Although he stayed, he might be able to deal with the people who came to assassinate him, but Emperor Dingyuan would be so good at giving up?

Therefore, there is no other way but to disappear completely.

It's just that no one thought at that time that Tang Anshu would hide in Rouyuan.
