Chapter 1360: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy

Lu hurried and rushed, finally catching up to the Xuanyuan team. Xuanyuan also recognized Lu; after all, as a major general of Huaxia, Lu would still make appearances on certain occasions.

However, Lu found these people of the Xuanyuan Tribe very unfamiliar. He had not seen many people from the Xuanyuan Tribe, and looking over now, the only ones he recognized were Xuanyuan and Limu.

"Lu! You've come!"

Lu squeezed out a smile, stepped forward, reached out his hand, and shook hands with Xuanyuan.

The Xuanyuan Tribe had specifically stopped to wait after seeing the Huaxia people traveling in the distance. Moreover, Xuanyuan and his group were moving very slowly; if they walked too fast, Huaxia might not be able to keep up, and their own Logistics Team might not be able to keep up either.

Now that they saw Huaxia, they naturally had to wait a while so everyone could travel together. Therefore, Xuanyuan stopped, and after seeing clearly who was coming, Xuanyuan called out his name.

"Tribal Chief Xuanyuan, have you encountered any enemies or fought any battles along this journey?"

After Xuanyuan pulled his hand back, he placed it directly on his waist: "We haven't encountered any enemies, and there haven't been any wars. We were waiting for you the whole way, so we walked quite slowly and hunted some prey.

By the way, we also killed many rhinoceroses. I've kept their horns for you; I'll have someone bring them to you in a moment. Consider it a gift from me."

Lu hurriedly cupped his hands: "Oh, this won't do. Those are your spoils of war; how can we just take them? Besides, Rhino Horn is still very precious, I wouldn't dare take it."

Xuanyuan appeared completely indifferent: "Our Xuanyuan Tribe has no use for it. I heard it is a very important medicinal ingredient in your Huaxia, so you should take it and use it. We must bring our relationship closer so that when we encounter war, we can be more united."

"Since Tribal Chief Xuanyuan has said so, then I will accept it." Lu waved his hand: "Huan! Have someone send a jar of Wine to the Xuanyuan Tribe; this is our return gift!"

"Yes, General!"

Xuanyuan maintained his smile and said nothing more, only pulling Lu's arm forward: "Come, Lu, let me introduce you. This is Limu; you should recognize him."

"Naturally, I recognize him." Lu bowed slightly toward Limu.

"This is Fenghou," Xuanyuan introduced.

Lu appeared even more respectful: "Ah, so you are the descendant of Fuxi! I have heard of you for a long time!"

Fenghou imitated Lu's gesture and also bowed.

Afterward, Lu saw Yinglong standing to the side, who appeared to have a low status, but his position was very abrupt. He was very thin and weak—truly very thin and weak among the Soldiers—yet he was able to stand in such a central position with the other Soldiers. This was very abnormal, and it meant that this person, Yinglong, was very abnormal.

Xuanyuan had not originally intended to introduce Yinglong, because Yinglong had not yet shown the ability he should have, so he naturally would not receive Xuanyuan's attention; he was just treated as an ordinary Soldier. Now, seeing that Lu's gaze had lingered, Xuanyuan simply introduced him.

"He is Yinglong, a Soldier from a tribe scattered by the Shennong Clan. He is someone who understands Xingtian relatively well, so I kept him by my side."

"Xingtian?" Lu could not recall this person in his mind. Was he important? He was not familiar with him at all, yet he always felt he had heard someone mention him a very, very long time ago.

"Yes, Xingtian, a Soldier of the Shennong Clan. He is extremely formidable and is now the Shennong Clan's greatest reliance. He had a bit of a reputation many years ago, and now he is even called the God of War by them, said to be the Heavenly god in charge of war. Lu, listen to this—isn't it very dangerous? What we will face in the future is Xingtian, so a Soldier like Yinglong who is familiar with Xingtian is very important."

Lu heard the name Xingtian a few more times in his mind and felt it become even more familiar, yet he stubbornly could not remember when he had heard it, or if he had ever heard it at all. This feeling of memory fleeting in an instant made Lu very uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan also looked at Lu's expression, which looked like he was having a seizure, and was also puzzled: "Lu, Lu? What is wrong with you?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I just feel the name Xingtian is a bit familiar, as if I've heard it sometime, but I just can't remember."

Xuanyuan felt something was wrong in his heart: "Could it be that Baifeng mentioned it sometime?"

Unexpectedly, Lu tilted his head back and smacked his lips: "Hey, it seems so. To be able to know about people from a tribe one has never seen from so many years ago—this kind of ability only our King possesses."

Limu shook his head slightly. In his heart, he only thought Lu was mythologizing his King; such a person could not exist in the world. Even Zhishou, who knew so many things and so many people in the world, only did so because he had walked the world with his own feet. How could a Baifeng possibly know? Not to mention his age for the moment, even Xingtian did not have his current reputation before. In the past, only tribes with close relationships and some connections like theirs might have received some rumors. How could Baifeng possibly know?

Xuanyuan did not believe it either, but he did not impolitely expose Lu: "Ah, then that must be it. Baifeng knows everything; perhaps he mentioned it sometime, but you didn't listen carefully.

This matter is unimportant; the main thing is knowing that Xingtian is very formidable and that it is dangerous for us, that is enough. We might have to face him this year."

"Right, right. I won't think about these for now. Since there is someone who understands the enemy, that is for the best. Our King once said, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.'"

"'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles...'" Xuanyuan began to ponder this sentence. Even Fenghou stared at Lu with eyes shining; this sentence was truly too reasonable. They knew this logic now, but they were unable to summarize it. Unexpectedly, Baifeng summarized it so well. It seems Baifeng is not a simple person when it comes to war either.

Seeing that a sentence he had learned casually could cause them to have such expressions, the sense of pride in Lu's heart was very strong. His Tribal Chief was indeed formidable.

"Has Baifeng taught you anything else?"

Lu immediately opened his defensive mode: "He has taught plenty. The wars of our Huaxia are all taught by the King. It's just that perhaps my learning ability is not good, and I haven't learned much from the King. Now I can't remember anything either; after all, we haven't fought a war in so many years."

Seeing this, Xuanyuan stopped fishing for information. In any case, as long as a Huaxia person could reach Lu's position, whether they were talented or not, they had certainly learned Baifeng's cunning—this was the evaluation Xuanyuan gave.

Baifeng was actually particularly envious of Xuanyuan's team, because anyone pulled out at random would do things that could influence the ages. It could only be said that Xuanyuan was purely a child of destiny, able to gather all kinds of talent. However, it did not affect Baifeng saying that besides those talents, the rest of Xuanyuan's people were illiterate and useless.
