Lu Pianpian and Su Chuo both guessed that Luo Ning's important means of dealing with the Jiedushi Mansion was to use divine Gu.
Luo Ning is really lucky. He just offended the senior officials of Xifan and got the Borrowing Gu.
Su Chuo is very knowledgeable. She has learned about the power-borrowing divine Gu in ancient books. But she is not sure whether this thing is really reliable.
Lu Pianpian replied: "The Borrowing Divine Gu is a first-class divine Gu. Only the Nanzhao royal family has it, and there are very few in the whole world."
"With the combined soul power of the two of us, we can completely parasitize the borrowed divine Gu."
"Once you are parasitic on the spiritual platform, you must regularly consume enough spiritual food and spiritual wine, or use the spiritual stone array to replenish spiritual energy."
"As long as there are enough spiritual sources, the host can use the divine Gu to emit a powerful aura, enough to disguise itself as a great monk. If you don't do it easily, it will be difficult to reveal the secret."
"Furthermore, you can also choose the level of cultivation you want to pretend to be."
"The higher the disguise, the shorter the duration. If you are pretending to be a first-grade real person, you can only pretend for one year. A second-grade venerable can pretend for two years... and you can also change your age and blood..."
"This force-borrowing divine Gu is like a worm that can act."
"Of course, the cultivation level disguised with the help of divine Gu is fake after all. In fact, it only has the real combat power of low-level monks. If we fight against a powerful enemy, the consequences will be disastrous..."
"Fortunately, the great monk never fights with others easily."
"Sure enough, this borrowed magic Gu is like acting." Su Chuo heard Lu Pianpian's words and verified his obscure knowledge.
"Then...which level of monk should I pretend to be? The fourth and fifth grades will definitely not work. You can only choose between the master, the venerable, and the real person."
Lu Pianpian thought for a moment, "Sister, I think it's better not to pretend, or to pretend... just pretend to be a real person!"
"A real person of the first rank?" Su Chuo felt that it was too aggressive, "A real person can only pretend to be a real person for one year, which is too short a time."
"And I heard you say that the total number of real people in the world is less than a hundred, and everyone is a top big shot."
"If Sister Pianran pretends to be a real person, wouldn't it be easy to reveal her secret?"
"You don't understand this." Lu Pianpian explained patiently, "There are indeed no more than a hundred real people in the world, but not all of them are world-famous and famous."
"There are some real people among them who are indifferent to fame and great achievements. Some live in seclusion in the mountains and swamps, or hide in the world of society."
"When monks reach the third level of master, they can hide or reduce their aura cultivation level. Those low-key real people can even disappear into the crowd and look like they are not monks."
"No matter how few real people are famous, there are at least a dozen in the world. I am pretending to be a real person, who dares to say that I am not a real person?"
"Just talking about the mysterious Mo Xuezong, there are rumors that there is more than one real person. But no one knows the name of any real person in Mo Xuezong."
"Don't forget, my sister was a master before and is a peerless genius who is about to break through to the second level of venerable. In addition, I have met more than one real person, so I can definitely show the style of a real person."
Su Chuo understood. What Lu Pianpian clearly meant was that she was very good at pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
Lu Pianpian continued: "It is also a good idea to pretend to be a real person. Sangbuyundan himself is a fourth-grade perfect master. He controls the military and political power of the Western Fan and can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers."
"Based on his cultivation and power, a third-grade grandmaster will definitely not be able to intimidate him. The guard camp of the Jiedushi Mansion can easily suppress a third-grade grandmaster."
"If he is pretending to be a second-grade venerable, it will definitely deter Sangbuyundan. But the deterrent effect is still not enough to make Sangbuyundan give up the idea of revenge."
"After all, the combat power of a second-grade venerable is only equivalent to three thousand armored soldiers, which is not as many as the garrison of Songyuan City."
"Moreover, we have offended many powerful enemies, not only Jiedushi, but also Xifan, Jierlun, Dudu and other important figures in the Western Domain."
"Only by pretending to be a real person can there be enough deterrence to prevent Sangbuyundan and others from retaliating. At least within a year, Sangbuyundan and others will stay away from Longcuo City."
"Besides, there are other benefits to pretending to be a real person. It makes it easier to gamble, which you will know later."
The two communicated secretly for a while, and Su Chuo took control of the body again.
…
Luo Ning said that he planned to go to Songyuan City to visit the Jiedushi in person, and sure enough he saw that everyone looked solemn.
This is too risky and they need an explanation.
"Don't worry, I am personally in danger and I will not take risks easily."
"But if we can't 'reunite' with Sambuyundan, we will have to get out of Xifan sooner or later. How can we give up after finally getting a piece of land?"
"I will arrange this matter properly. What you can do now is to select soldiers and prepare to train the new army..."
"I will be responsible for solving the matter of armored horses and weapons. Longcuo Ling must have an army of soldiers and horses to protect himself."
"We lack armor and horses, so the standards for selecting soldiers must be extremely strict. Yin Zhen will be responsible for the selection."
"Hey! I take the order!" Yin Chu stood up, "Um, how many people will you recruit first?"
Luo Ning said: "Don't worry about how many people you want to recruit. First, select according to the standards of the Jin Kingdom's soldiers. I heard that the Jin Kingdom has the strictest soldier selection."
Yin Zhen was a little embarrassed, "Dajin's selection of soldiers is indeed very strict. New recruits must be selected from strong men who are good at riding, shooting and hunting, not to mention white-armored soldiers and eagle shooters."
Yin Zhen was a Jurchen and was very familiar with the Jin Kingdom's requirements for selecting soldiers.
"Actually, many of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Dajin are savages from the mountains, forests and swamps, as fierce and ferocious as lions and tigers."
"The four tribes under Ezhen's jurisdiction have a population of 1.4 million. Among them, there are at most 10,000 young soldiers suitable to be soldiers."
Luo Ning nodded when he heard this. This statement is by no means an exaggeration. The soldiers in this world are definitely the strongest among ordinary people. They have high requirements on physical fitness. They don't have to be young and strong.
Yin Zhun continued: "If we select soldiers according to the standards of the Eight Banners of Dajin, at least half of the more than 10,000 people will be eliminated. If we can select 5,000 people, it will be considered good."
"However, the Jin Army's five thousand soldiers are enough to defeat ten thousand Tubo soldiers. If we can really train five thousand soldiers who are no worse than the Jin Army, Longcuo City should be able to protect itself."
"Then select five thousand people first!" Luo Ning said decisively, "First recruit in the name of recruiting strong men to build Longcuo City, let's call them laborers."
Gu Yunxiao said: "But to train five thousand armored soldiers, it will not only take at least three years, but also cause a lot of noise. The news must not be hidden. How can those Tubo nobles allow us to train so many armored soldiers?"
"How should we deal with a man who was charged with practicing military training without authorization and conspiring to rebel? The princess did not allow us to have so many soldiers."
"This is not difficult to solve." Xia Chanming, who is familiar with Xifan, said, "I have been in Xifan for many years. Back then, Lord Fuling and I went to a hidden place, an underground lake under the Qingyan Gobi."
"The underground lake has dried up a long time ago and has become a huge cave deep in the earth. It is very hidden there. Lord Fu Ling once wanted to use it as the secret base of Xiuyi Mansion."
"Training troops in that dry underground lake will not be known to outsiders. It can be hidden for at least several years."
Luo Ning nodded and said: "Without further delay, start recruiting troops immediately. This is my top priority..."
After making some arrangements, Luo Ning announced the adjournment of the meeting and took Su Chuo back to Orchid Hall, the inner courtyard of the Jingshe.
"Chuo'er, I have obtained the Yuebaiguo, and I have all the medicinal ingredients for Tianhuanmengqingdan."
"Next, we can perfectly restore your appearance."
What? Can you restore your appearance?
The girl looked into Luo Ning's eyes, and those red phoenix eyes were filled with a relaxed and joyful smile.
The kind of smile that made her feel at ease immediately made her fall into an unprecedented surprise.
Restore your appearance!
"Chuo'er, this is my gift to you." Luo Ning said in a gentle tone, "I hope that from now on, Chuo'er will not only be safe, but also happy."
"Peace and joy..." Su Chuo's tears immediately flowed down.
In his excitement, he couldn't help but throw himself into Luo Ning's arms, "Brother of the Luo family!"
