Chapter 89: Chapter 64 Phoenix Sends a Letter, Xiao Deng Climbs the Wall_2
Li Guanyi held the "Divine Bow Skills," of which both elder brother Changqing and young Miss Shuangtao from the Xue Family mastered only the initial part. Xue Daoyong personally taught Li Guanyi this Inner Strength technique. His only limitation was his root bone, which was restricted by poison; his innate comprehension had not diminished, complemented by the top-tier Martial Artist’s legacy.
After several days of practice, he mastered the Divine Bow Skills.
The vast flow of Inner Qi from the "Breaking Formation Song" was all converted into the "Divine Bow Skills." The "Tiger Roar Bone Forging Skills" were also being cultivated slowly. Li Guanyi could feel the speed of his Inner Qi circulation gradually increasing; from circulating his Three Circuits in the time it took an incense stick to burn, he slowly became capable of completing Four Circuits.
Lately, he couldn’t find Mr. Siming.
Neither had Mr. Wang Tong shown himself.
Li Guanyi roughly knew that since the mathematician of great ability had come here, Yue Qianfeng’s first step was completed. Mr. Wang Tong, Mr. Siming, and the giant from the Mo School must be connecting with the major figures of Jiangzhou Capital City, attempting to finalize the last step and make their move in Capital City.
The shadow games of power from all sides might have reached their zenith, and Yue Qianfeng also had not returned.
However, this mattered little to Li Guanyi. As spring advanced, flowers bloomed splendidly, the willow branches drooped down, and many men and women came out to enjoy the cool and embrace the greenery. His birthday approaching, Li Guanyi’s days were full and simple, spent practicing archery, breathing exercises, and honing his Spear Skills with a Battle Halberd.
It was Changsun Wuchou who encountered some issues.
Latterly, the Golden Feathered Eagle delivered a letter, but, unlike before, it wasn’t just one letter.
It was two.
One of them was addressed directly to Li Guanyi.
Changsun Wuchou, astonished at the letter meant for himself, understood that the second daughter wanted to pass the other letter to Li Guanyi. It was unprecedented for her to personally write and communicate with others.
After reflecting for a moment, he used the excuse of sharing tea and listening to stories to meet Li Guanyi and handed over the letter, saying, "It’s from the Second Son of a business guild I’m affiliated with. After hearing the verses from Mr. Li, he became very interested and has written specially to chat with you."
The Second Son of a business guild?
Could it be the Second Son of the Duke from outside the Longxi border of Ying Country?
Or is he truly just a Second Son of a business guild?
Changsun Wuchou, sipping tea as someone sang, had a fox-like grin.
Li Guanyi opened the letter. After a simple and plain greeting, it praised the young man’s recent accomplishments and expressed fondness for that letter. It mentioned seeing Li Guanyi’s views on the Western Regions, but the sender was curious about Li Guanyi’s thoughts on the wider world.
Li Guanyi glanced over the dragon and phoenix dance of the characters in the letter, then looked up at Changsun Wuchou.
He looked again at the letter, finding the way it discussed the entire world as nonchalant as mentioning a piece of jade on the table.
Changsun Wuchou smilingly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Li Guanyi chose his words carefully, replying, "It’s bold, talking about such matters in a letter upon our first correspondence..."
Changsun Wuchou said, "That’s because the Second Son genuinely believes Guan Yi, you are talented."
"As a merchant, when I find a rare item, naturally I would pay a high price to buy it."
"If it’s convenient, you can write a reply. Even if you don’t wish to discuss these matters, you can also politely decline."
The Second Son of Duke Ying Mansion.
This person was one of the absolute elites of Ying Country. Now that Ying Country occupied the vast regions of the Central Plains, it was the most powerful nation in the world. After leaving Chen Country with his aunt, visiting Ying Country and forming ties with its top authorities wouldn’t be bad for Li Guanyi.
In fact, Li Guanyi hoped for a better life for himself in the future.
With such status, such age, and such composure, how should one reply?
He had to answer in a way that didn’t leave oneself open to obligation or disadvantage.
Li Guanyi ground ink, and, having settled on an idea, took up the brush and wrote one line of text on the paper. Changsun Wuchou in the private chamber saw the youth’s writing firm as rock, calm and unhurried.
[The great trends of the world, long united, must divide, long divided, must unite.]
Li Guanyi set down his brush.
He folded the letter neatly and handed it to Changsun Wuchou without further comment.
Changsun Wuchou’s eyelid twitched, and he sighed inwardly.
He knew to a person of the Second Daughter’s stature, those twelve words carried more weight than a hundred lavish poems, capable of capturing her attention more effectively.
Were the heroes of the world already so youthful?
Sure enough, the Golden Feathered Eagle returned the next day.
The returning eagle was larger than the usual, with luxuriant wings, its golden feathers marked with red traces. Among the birds, this was the most outstanding—the Golden Feathered Eagle was no longer an eagle, but a golden-winged roc.
An Exotic Beast capable of traveling ten thousand li in a day, its gold and iron talons could shatter a horse’s skull as if crushing tofu. It could soar over the desert, snatch up an armored Martial Artist, and dash them to death against cliffs. The Turkic King offered ten thousand taels of gold, a hundred thousand cattle and sheep, yet failed to trade for it.
To send messages by the Golden Feathered Eagle was an extravagant gesture; it also showed how much the Second Daughter valued the recipient.
Changsun Wuchou exhaled a breath.
Feeling like the intermediary between the two, this talented merchant had to thicken his skin and stay at the Xue Family, not leaving. After handing over the letter from the Second Son to Li Guanyi, it revealed that the Second Son was now discussing specific matters with Li Guanyi directly.
It didn’t deal with any disputes, but rather, conversed about historical heroes and Battle Formations.
Li Guanyi raised an eyebrow.
Why was there a need for remedial lessons, even after leaving General Xue?
Yet, the insights from the youth thousands of li away were equally sharp, with an inherent edge that shocked Li Guanyi. The knowledge imparted by General Xue became even clearer through this exchange, leading to Li’s own revelations.
