"Many thanks to Young Master for saving my life. Li Kai's life was saved by Young Master. If Young Master needs anything, Li Kai is willing to do anything for Young Master.”
Li Kai calmed himself down and looked at Xuan Tong with gratitude. If it wasn't for Xuan Tong's help, he would have died.
"I only have one condition for saving you. I want you to help me take back the Bai Yue.”
"Erm, I'm not satisfied with Young Master's words. Li Kai has been in the Bai Yue for many years. The Bai Yue is barren, with poisonous grass and miasma, poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. Transportation is very inconvenient. Although the State of Yue has been destroyed, the Bai Yue has sufficient combat strength. Moreover, witchcraft, poison, beast taming, and poison are famous in all countries. This is also the reason why although the State of Yue was destroyed by Han Chu, Han Chu was unable to recover the Bai Yue.”
Li Kai didn't understand why Xuan Tong wanted to take over the Bai Yue. Although the Bai Yue was indeed rich in land, the risk was too high. He was alone, and all the acupoints in his four limbs had recovered. He was also a second-rate warrior. If he wanted to take over the Bai Yue, he would have to give him enough troops.
"Your goal is to hide in the Yue Country for the time being. Find out the territories of the various races and draw a detailed map. After that, I will send someone to act with you.”
Knowing what Li Kai meant, Xuan Tong was not a person without wisdom. In his previous life, after Qin Shihuang unified the seven kingdoms, he made plans to attack the Xiongnu in the north and conquer the Yue in the south. Meng Tian led 300,000 troops to the north to fight the Xiongnu. Qin Shihuang ordered generals Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo to lead 500,000 troops to launch a war to conquer the Yue tribe in Lingnan.
However, due to their lack of understanding of the terrain and the tribes of the Bai Yue, coupled with the difficulty of transporting rations, many soldiers could not adapt to the harsh weather of the Bai Yue. The Bai Yue tribe even attacked the Qin army at night, causing the vanguard of the last 500,000 troops to be defeated.
In order to solve the problem of grain transportation, Qin Shihuang sent Shi Lu to dig the spiritual canal, which opened the prelude to the recovery of Baiyue.
Now, Xuan Tong wanted Li Kai to go to the Bai Yue first. The key to intelligence was sometimes more important than the problem of food. As long as they had a detailed map, the only difficulty left was the transportation of food.
"Drawing a topographic map? Li Kai wanted to ask Master Bai to let him see his lover.”
Li Kai knelt down in front of Xuan Tong. In this era, other than kneeling down to one's parents, one would usually bow with both hands folded in front of one's chest. Even if the guards reported, they would only kneel down on one knee. The fact that Li Kai could kneel down in front of Xuan Tong was enough to show his sincerity.
"Fine, but your identity is special. You should know that the Han Country can't tolerate you now. If you appear in the Han Country, Han Wangan, Ji Wuye, and the others won't let you live.”
Xuan Tong thought about it for a moment. Li Kai's determination was very obvious. Sometimes, it was better to let things go. If he told him the current situation, he would understand the current situation in Han Country. If he met with Madam Hu and exposed his identity, not only would he be in danger, but even Madam Hu's life would be in danger.
" Thank you, Young Master." Li Kai felt a weight lifted off his shoulders when he heard Xuan Tong's words. He had been in the Bai Yue for so many years and had suffered so much. He just wanted to come back and see if Lady Hu was still around. As long as he could see her from afar, that would be enough.
"Set this place on fire. After you're done, remember to go to the Bai Yue. After I send someone to find you, I'll tell you my identity. Remember my name, Xuan Tong.”
"Yes, Young Master Xuantong." Li Kai knelt down on one knee in front of Xuan Tong, who had just left. He knew that he should not stay here for long. Li Kai picked up the torch in the dungeon and walked out. When he saw the corpses of Poison Scorpion and the others in the stronghold, Li Kai threw the torch on the surrounding broken buildings.
The building made of wood was instantly set ablaze. The raging fire devoured everything inside the Poison Scorpion Gate.
Li Kai looked at the burning Poisonous Scorpion Gate, picked up the clothes he had found from the Poisonous Scorpion Gate, dressed up, and walked towards the Left Sima's residence.
The fire in the Poisonous Scorpion Gate attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers. When the City Defense Army and Imperial Guards arrived, the fire in the Poisonous Scorpion Gate was too strong, so they had no choice but to put it out first.
Mo Ya looked at the burning Scorpion Gate stronghold and guessed that the fire was too big. When the fire was over, there would probably be nothing left. He shook his head and could only send the news of the Scorpion Gate being destroyed to Ji Wuye.
