Shi Chen Wen stepped foot into the army camp, and followed behind him to pay respects to the Wei Guogong who had long returned to the middle camp.

"Duke …" Shi Chen Wen bowed respectfully, and the Wei Guogong on the table glanced at him with his phoenix eyes before coldly snorting.

"You lost very well in today's battle," the Wei Guogong said in a cold and detached voice. Her tone did not contain the slightest emotion.

Shi Chen Wen lowered his head, completely unable to read the expression on his face, and bowed with both hands, and continued to speak: "This humble one does not know why the Duke of the Nation wants this battle, but we have yet to rest for even a moment, and this battle had already begun. Let's not talk about the fact that we lost three points in the water battle, the previous losses caused some ripples among the soldiers, and after this battle, our soldiers will find ways to pacify us, otherwise the outcome of the battle will not be easy."

Wei Guogong heard the reproach in the other party's tone. She sat on the table and heavily knocked down the cup in her hand and spoke with an icy tone, "General Shi is blaming this official for hurting our team members even though I know this battle is against us?"

"This official does not dare", Shi Chen Wen was extremely calm, and was not affected by the other party's emotions at all.

"You don't dare?" Wei Guogong's tone slowly slowed down, as she pondered on whether or not she should let Shi Chen Wen know about the situation that she had risked her life to arrange, since she was the one who needed to help out in the end.

Seeing that Shi Chen Wen did not reply, he called for the servants to clean up the mess on the table. He extended his hand to take the tea cup and drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, then slowly told everyone about his plans.

"I had planned this war a month ago." Wei Guogong paused in time, and when she saw that Shi Chen Wen had reacted, she raised his big, round eyes, staring straight at Wei Guogong with shock in his eyes.

A pleased look flashed past Wei Guogong's eyes, she casually pointed to the seat next to him, signalling for him to sit down and listen to what she had to say.

"Are they your men outside the tent?" Wei Guogong unexpectedly asked Shi Chen Wen a question that had nothing to do with it.

Shi Chen Wen nodded his head in understanding before pausing for a moment and continuing: "In the past, my master went from being a servant to being a servant of the Secret Arts, and was almost proficient in the Five Elements of Eight Trigrams, strange techniques, medical records, and even had people spying on the Heaven's Secrets. By chance, I happened to meet an immortal master in my sect, and said that it was somewhat difficult for him to be an immortal, because he was occasionally evil and occasionally upright, regardless of whether it is being a Magus Gu technique or a righteous technique, he is extremely proficient."

Perhaps it was because he was still unclear about the events that happened in the past, the Wei Guogong paused for a moment before continuing.

I have a senior brother who is quite talented and a bit gloomy, a person who is not easy to get along with, but he treats me very well. When we both go out together, he doesn't like to restrict and wander around the world, while I like to fight and kill, so I followed the army. A month ago, although I didn't know whether or not His Majesty would send me to suppress this howl, I had still entrusted senior brother to go into hiding in the enemy camp.

"If that's the case, does that mean that Wei Guogong's senior brother is scouting out the enemy for us at the enemy camp?"

"Of course, after I had thought about it, my senior finally agreed to go into hiding. We made a plan to have my senior recommend himself to the Lord of Death as a peerless talent, then find a way to trust him and secretly intercept our army."

"If that is the case, then why did our army suffer such a crushing defeat in the last land war?" Why did we deliberately lose today's battle in the river? "

Shi Chen Wen suddenly interjected one sentence, interrupting Wei Guogong's narration, changing the word on her forehead back to her own, but she did not know it.

Wei Guogong knew Shi Chen Wen's temperament and knew that the other party was only speaking bluntly, "As for the last loss, according to senior brother's secret letter, it was a year ago that an expert skilled in military training came from Handi. This person used only a year's time to train himself and with his bare hands, as well as the ability to immediately match up to the Golden Steel Horse in my hands, but he is also very mysterious.

Wei Guogong lectured for a while in a single breath, her mouth was filled with thirst, only then did she stop. She raised the teacup in her hand, took a sip, and continued speaking after her throat had warmed up.

"Now that I'm in such a hurry to start this water battle, I just want to help senior brother gain the trust of his master. Have you seen three battleships with strange patterns on them today? Their bodies are less than half of our ships?"

Shi Chen Wen pondered for a moment, then replied: "Returning Duke, however, this is the case. Earlier, I didn't pay too much attention to the boat's design, and now that I think about it, the boat's design is really strange, it seems to be a picture depicted by a big ball of snakes and scorpions, or some sort of flower."

The Wei Guogong above heard this and nodded her head, then continued, "This is the Southern Wilderness' most mysterious witchcraft technique. This ship has a picture of a poisonous scorpion traversing through the Mandala Flower, these two things are commonly used in Gu techniques."

Shi Chen Wen seemed to have thought of something, a golden light appeared in his mind, "So that means that the unknown thing that I saw from the enemy ship that was shot out by the enemy ship was actually the Poison Scorpion?"

"Yes, yes, no, because the thing they shot out was actually a Gu. This thing is called 'Wings', and it was named after ten exceptionally ferocious poisonous scorpions, and ten cobras with ten tails. The two objects must be poisonous substances from the depths of the Southern Wilderness, and after placing them in an earthen jar, it took ten months to hatch a Gu King, and after feeding it Mandala for one year, it would be taken out to be tamed. After that, it would be used to create a descendant of two different species of Gu King.

"Is that the descendant of the Gu King?"

"Of course."

Shi Chen Wen nodded, then suddenly remembered that it was not the entire plan, "Duke, this is not the plan, right?"

"This is only half of the plan, but today's battle is the most crucial part of our plan. Because, as long as we lose, the Lord of Whore will believe in our senior brother's abilities, and the real last battle will happen half a month from now."
