Chapter 487: General Verification Map (Two-in-one)

~15 min read 2,975 words

Everyone entered the main general's tent and remained silent.

Ma Ma Liangcai's expression was depressed; he had not expected General Mu Lan's disguise. This fact was explaining that many of the King's Capital's plans had already appeared to be mistakes.

General Mu Lan sat in the main seat, scanning the cultivators who entered the tent.

Nascent Soul level, Golden Core level, Foundation Establishment level, and so on.

But no matter what the cultivation level was, they were all outstanding figures of the time.

She was a tiger daughter of a military family and would never be willing to be designed by others. Therefore, ever since she and the Red Flower Camp suffered difficulties, she began to plan a way out.

This time, she followed the plan, showed weakness to the enemy, and immediately saw the situation clearly.

"Ma Ma Liangcai..."

His person possessed Nascent Soul cultivation, was tall, with white eyebrows like frost, deep eyes, and was one of the five great generals of the Liangzhu Kingdom, with brilliant battle achievements. He combined military strategy and painting to lead troops in battle, unique.

In General Mu Lan's heart, among the generals present, Ma Ma Liangcai was the well-deserved number one general. Even the proud General Mu Lan admitted she was insufficient. Even with the same cultivation, it was difficult to have the certainty of victory.

Without a doubt, this was the most threatening great enemy at the moment!

"Sun Gan, Seeing Shuang Jing..."

General Mu Lan's gaze swept over these two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now, she saw clearly: "These two heard the wind from the high level, so they wanted to take action in advance, grab before the ruler took action, and covet the General's Mansion!"

"These are enemies, but also temporary allies who can be united to resist Ma Ma Liangcai together."

General Mu Lan looked at Liu Er again.

Her scanning speed was the fastest.

"Half-demon mixed-blood, good at speculation, reckless to the point of stupidity, plunged into this political struggle vortex."

"Also want to covet the General's Seal? Ate a bear's heart and leopard's gall, and can't reach such confidence."

Although General Mu Lan was disgusted and despised, she also thought it was better to unite with Liu Er at the moment.

She looked at Zhang Zhang Zhongyi again.

In order to deceive the enemy, General Mu Lan even deceived Zhang Zhang Zhongyi.

But at the moment, this "victim" Zhang Zhang Zhongyi looked at General Mu Lan with excitement, obviously not caring about the fact that he had been kept in the dark.

"Ning Zhuo..."

General Mu Lan's gaze finally paused on the big-headed boy.

Although she was very resentful that Ning Zhuo had refused to dual cultivate with her three times, compared with others present, she found Ning Zhuo the most pleasing to the eye.

Ning Zhuo also looked at General Mu Lan, his clear eyes revealing curiosity and admiration.

This gaze made General Mu Lan feel a little relieved.

But soon, her mood was ruined by Ma Ma Liangcai.

After Ma Ma Liangcai took his seat, he took the initiative to attack: "Since General General Mu Lan has woken up, it's just right to confront each other. These three main generals have repeatedly slandered your innocence, which is truly hateful."

General Mu Lan sneered, not hiding her expression, and looked at Ma Ma Liangcai with contempt.

How could she listen to the enemy's words and act?

She had heard the words of these three slandering her quite clearly. But so what?

In a great war, in order to seek victory, all kinds of means should be used. At this time of uniting and connecting, how could General Mu Lan push possible allies away?

However, the next moment, the envoy from the King's Capital sneered and looked at Seeing Shuang Jing: "General Seeing Shuang Jing, you are a member of the royal family, you should say something."

Seeing Shuang Jing's expression was very ugly, but he still turned his body slightly and looked at General Mu Lan: "General General Mu Lan, the situation is clear at a glance. Choose one from the three of me, Sun Gan, and Liu Er. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to continue to support you."

"Sigh, I also have difficulties!"

His surname is Shuang, no matter how big the family power is, he can't beat the royal family. In fact, a large part of the authority of the family power comes from the royal family.

The envoy from the King's Capital had been transmitting with spiritual sense during the process of entering the tent, shaking Seeing Shuang Jing's position.

He succeeded.

Seeing Shuang Jing was used as a breakthrough, turning against the enemy in a short time, making General Mu Lan fall into a passive situation again.

General Mu Lan wanted to unite the weak to resist the strong, but the envoy from the King's Capital took action in advance, divided the inside, and used Seeing Shuang Jing to provoke internal trouble.

The internal trouble on General Mu Lan's side was so obvious—there was only one General's Seal, and Liu, Shuang, and Sun were competing for one position, so two would definitely be eliminated.

General Mu Lan was silent for a moment and looked at Sun Gan.

Sun Gan first looked at Seeing Shuang Jing with contempt, then fell into deep thought.

"Seeing Shuang Jing's foundation is still in the family; relying solely on the Shuang surname, he is already untrustworthy."

"Without him, Liu Er, a mere half-demon mixed-blood, what is there to worry about?"

"But I am the commander of the Imperial Guard. If I stand by General Mu Lan's side this time to resist Ma Ma Liangcai, it is violating the King's Order. In the future, when I return to the King's Capital, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat."

"This is indeed quite risky."

Sun Gan commanded the Golden Halberd Army, which was not as loyal as the Red Flower Camp.

Although Sun Gan knew very well that the King's Capital side was provoking discord, he also figured out that if he wanted to violate the King's Order next, he should first ensure his own interests. He didn't want to attack with all his might and fight in an unclear way.

So, Sun Gan looked at General Mu Lan: "I don't know how General General Mu Lan will choose?"

General Mu Lan glanced at Sun Gan coldly and looked at Ma Ma Liangcai: "Since I have woken up, your reason for wanting to receive the Red Flower Camp, Ma Ma Liangcai, can no longer stand."

"Why should I choose?"

"I can completely sideline you and continue to build achievements."

Ma Ma Liangcai also sneered, not showing weakness: "General General Mu Lan is a bit too naive. Things have come to this, and wanting to return to the state of the past is impossible."

Whether it was the King's Capital side or Sun Gan and Seeing Shuang Jing, it was impossible to give General Mu Lan time and opportunity to be independent and strive for a comeback.

This flower blooming on the battlefield, the Red Flower Camp, who it would fall to, must be figured out.

Without this step, everyone's suppression, difficulties, and encirclement of the Red Flower Camp would continue.

Zhang Zhang Zhongyi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

He felt hatred and resentment in his heart.

Ning Zhuo had no expression, but he was secretly excited: "The game of the righteous path has reached this point, it is so cold and cruel."

The cultivators in the tent had no signs of taking action, not even a trace of magic power was urged.

But it had once again forced General Mu Lan to the edge of the cliff.

Cultivation, magic treasures, spells, etc., were not the most important at this moment. Mind, strategy, and means were the key abilities.

General Mu Lan took a deep breath and stared at Ma Ma Liangcai: "Since this is the case, let's take the final step."

"When you were ordered to come, the ruler must have given you a treasure, take it out."

Her situation was not good, always at a disadvantage.

Pretending to be in a coma before just allowed her to strive for a chance for a head-on game.

Now, Sun Gan and Seeing Shuang Jing had been cleanly and neatly disintegrated by the King's Capital side, not giving her a bit of room to play. General Mu Lan had no way to retreat, so she had to take the final step of the competition.

Ma Ma Liangcai nodded slightly and took out a scroll.

He opened the scroll in public, and everyone knew that this was a General Verification Map.

After the General Verification Map was unfolded, it was about one foot eight long and six feet wide. The painting used rice paper, the surface was slightly yellow, and it had experienced quite a few years.

The four ends of the scroll were edged with gold thread, and the edges were slightly rolled up.

The entire painting was filled with a large number of talismans. These talismans were large and small, thousands of them, arranged closely.

Ning Zhuo took a look and felt dizzy, his spiritual sense was sucked, as if he was about to fall into some kind of illusion, so he hurriedly closed his eyes and restrained all his spiritual sense.

General Mu Lan stroked the General Verification Map and said in a retrospective tone: "In the past, my father saw the front line was in an emergency and took the initiative to ask for orders to command the remnants and fight another battle."

"Before this, he had no resume as a main general and suffered a lot of suspicion from his comrades. The ruler praised his courage and was willing to take out the General Verification Map to test him."

"My father passed the General Verification Map to prove himself. Later, he commanded the remnants, killed back, grasped the enemy's flaws on the battlefield, rushed into the enemy formation in one fell swoop, beheaded the enemy chief, caused the enemy's morale to collapse, and won a great victory!"

"Father returned with victory, and the ruler asked him what reward he wanted."

"Father asked for this remnant army that accompanied him in battle, which was the later Red Flower Camp."

"As father won repeated victories and made great achievements, the scale of the Red Flower Camp grew larger and larger, eventually arousing suspicion in the imperial court."

"During one of my father's returns to the court to report on his duties, he reached an agreement with the ruler."

"In the future, the ruler wants to abolish the Red Flower Camp, it can only be because the General's Mansion has no successor and is unable to command this army again."

"And to prove this point, it is the General Verification Map."

Through General Mu Lan's narration, everyone in the tent suddenly realized.

This game between monarch and minister had long since unfolded. Both sides were righteous and would never make both sides losers.

Therefore, Old General Mu and the ruler had long agreed on the bottom line.

The Red Flower Camp and the Mu General's Mansion started from the General Verification Map, so naturally, the General Verification Map would test them. If General Mu Lan passed, the General's Mansion could continue.

But if she failed, then the Mu General's Mansion would be abolished or replaced.

General Mu Lan took back her gaze, raised her head slightly, looked at Ma Ma Liangcai, and then looked at Sun Gan, Seeing Shuang Jing, and others: "Since you all have ideas, why not all enter the map to fight. Re-enact the past to determine the future!"

Ma Ma Liangcai had outstanding strength, and General Mu Lan had no certainty of victory, so she still wanted to pull Sun Gan, Seeing Shuang Jing, and others into the water.

In case the battle situation was unfavorable, she could also temporarily agree to exchange for the support of Sun Gan or Seeing Shuang Jing.

Liu Er agreed first and said that if he went all out, he hoped to call Generals Generals Generals Guan Hong and Zhang Hei.

Seeing this, Sun Gan and Seeing Shuang Jing could only pinch their noses and agree to participate.

Generals Generals Guan Hong soon arrived at this tent.

Zhang Hei was captured by Sun Gan, and at this time, he was also released immediately. After all, Ma Ma Liangcai was the biggest strong enemy.

After everyone gathered, they threw their spiritual sense into the General Verification Map one after another.

Soon, one cultivator after another stood still on the ground, retaining a small part of their spiritual sense, while the majority of their spiritual sense was drawn into the map.

The painting of the General Verification Map bloomed with brilliant colors.

Countless talismans flickered, emitting light of different colors. The talismans were agile, flowing with each other, and the speed became faster and faster, finally converging into a vortex of flowing light.

In the colorful brilliance, the majority of Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense condensed into his own form.

He looked around and immediately found the three of Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang. He reached out and touched his waist, finding that Sun Sun Lingtong was still in the mechanical swimming dragon.

This was his secret spiritual sense transmission, asking General Mu Lan to agree to Sun Sun Lingtong's participation.

After all, with one more person, their side would have one more point of winning.

Besides the three of Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang, there were four or five hundred soldier phantoms around.

Generals Generals Guan Hong stroked his beard: "This is a small General Verification Map, without many passes and terrain. As soon as we enter, we are issued soldiers based on our cultivation and military attainments."

Zhang Hei shouted: "Hurry up and train soldiers! That Ma Ma Liangcai is not easy to mess with."

Ning Zhuo offered a plan: "Besides training soldiers, we must send scouts to explore the surroundings to prevent us from being too close to Ma Ma Liangcai and attracting his attack first."

"Furthermore, contact General General Mu Lan. Relying on us alone won't work, we still have to unite to resist Ma Ma Liangcai together."

Liu Er nodded, quite recognizing this suggestion, and acted according to the plan immediately.

Triangular arrow formation.

One-line long snake formation.

After training for only two or three rounds, the soldier phantoms were all in good shape.

The training effect was much better than in reality!

After training for another two or three rounds, the soldier phantoms became much more solid, and their images changed.

Before, they were just a group of blurry human figures, with visible limbs, torso, etc. Now, not only were the limbs and torso clearly visible, but the head also changed, becoming a triangular snake head.

"Little Zhuo, you said we want to participate in training soldiers, what will happen?" Sun Sun Lingtong witnessed this process and became eager to try.

He had previously read the "Gao Sheng Last Testament" with the help of the Soldiers and Commander Share One Helmet and learned the Thief's Light Wind Formation.

Ning Zhuo thought for a while: "If we add a battle formation, of course it's better!"

"Ma Ma Liangcai has made brilliant achievements, and he has played a decisive role in the battles of Broken Soul Ridge, Red Water River, East Mountain Relief, and Ghost Flame Gorge."

"Our side's Generals Generals Generals Guan Hong and Zhang Hei are not in state, and although General Mu Lan has woken up, there are still injuries on her body."

"Seeing Shuang Jing is stronger in equipment, but in the General Verification Map, the advantage is lost."

"Finally, Sun Gan is the commander of the Imperial Guard, and has spent most of his life guarding the King's Capital, with little experience in battlefield fighting."

"However, Boss, it is still not suitable to expose!"

Ma Ma Liangcai is a famous general of the Liangzhu Kingdom, and Ning Zhuo naturally knows some relevant information.

Ning Zhuo came back to his senses and immediately advised that he also had a set of battle formation. Now, the speed of training soldiers in the General Verification Map is rooted in the general's mastery of the battle formation, unlike reality where it requires time and energy. So, he wanted to try it.

This made the three generals Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang feel pleasantly surprised.

They were already worried that their side only had two kinds of battle formations, lacking changes and easy to be targeted.

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to propose, which made the three generals feel pleasantly surprised, and they all agreed to let Ning Zhuo take the lead in training soldiers.

Ning Zhuo superficially gave orders on behalf of Sun Sun Lingtong, and after five rounds, the soldiers practiced the Thief's Light Wind Formation.

"Military advisor, what battle formation is this? Forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of it." Generals Generals Guan Hong rarely asked for advice.

Ning Zhuo told him that this was the Light Body Swift Wind Formation, which could increase the marching speed of the team and help hide their tracks.

Sun Sun Lingtong's military strategy attainments were not as good as the three generals, and he practiced for another five rounds before he performed it skillfully.

Next, the three generals practiced their own military strategies, which also brought slight changes to the form of the soldier shadows.

Ning Zhuo also took the opportunity to practice his Brave Man Returns Technique, which aroused the curiosity of the three generals again, because they could not see any effect after the military strategy was cast.

"What did the military advisor practice?"
