Legendary Armament Canon

1214 Your Scouting Technique Is Outdated (2)
Zhang San was extremely vexed. Isn’t this Myriad World Communication Token a connate divine weapon? How can it be so fragile?

This bastard actually bit my Myriad World Communication Token!

He didn’t expect that this person, whom he had already subdued, would suddenly break out of his restraint!

Bang!

Zhang San was about to deal with the Great Liang soldier when a figure suddenly descended from the sky and stepped on the soldier.

The soldier grunted, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Zhou Shu felt the softness under his feet. He lowered his head and realized that someone was under his feet.

Then he saw Zhang San. “Are you okay?”

Zhou Shu was speechless.

Of course, he wasn’t hoping that something would happen to Zhang San. But descending here through the Myriad World Communication Ball consumed a lot of his energy. If not for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn’t have used this method.

In comparison, he wouldn’t need to consume much energy if he flew here.

“Your Highness?” Zhang San was extremely shocked. From the moment the Myriad World Communication Token shattered to the appearance of Zhou Shu, less than ten seconds had passed.

This place was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Even with a Grotto-Heaven Master’s cultivation, it would probably take him two to four hours to fly here.

How strong is His Highness? A thousand kilometers in one second?

Zhou Shu’s strength had already exceeded Zhang San’s imagination.

But he quickly realized why Zhou Shu had appeared. He felt touched and guilty. Because of my mistake, His Highness had to come over.

His Highness appeared here so quickly because he was worried that I was in danger. He must have used a lot of his energy along the way.

Zhang San felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he choked. “I’m okay. I’ve made you worry, Your Highness.

“Your Highness, this is the Great Liang soldier I captured.”

Zhang San pointed at the soldier, who had already passed out under Zhou Shu’s feet.

“The current strength of the Great Liang army is extraordinary. High-ranking officers are not easy to capture, and the things this soldier knows are limited.

Zhang San continued to explain. “He doesn’t know what happened in Great Liang’s capital, nor does he know why Great Liang suddenly attacked Great Chu.

“According to him, these soldiers learned the mystic technique after waking up from their sleep. This mystic technique allows them to increase their strength by more than twice.”

Zhang San glanced at Zhou Shu. Seeing that Zhou Shu’s expression didn’t change at all, he continued, “Then the soldiers received the order to mobilize.

“Your Highness, is it really Cao Chenyang who gave orders to attack Great Chu?”

Seeing that Zhang San was fine, Zhou Shu was relieved. “Most likely. Apart from Cao Chenyang, the emperor of Great Liang might have gone crazy.”

“Your Highness, Cao Chenyang probably did this to lure you into his trap!” Zhang San was quick-witted. He knew Cao Chenyang’s identity and immediately thought of the possibility that Zhou Shu had thought of!

Zhang San said anxiously, “Your Highness, leave this place quickly! I was incompetent and implicated you. Cao Chenyang might have set up a trap in Great Liang to deal with you. Hurry up and leave this place!”

“There’s no need to be so nervous. This is Great Chu. Even if Cao Chenyang really set up some trap, it won’t be here.” Zhou Shu shook his head. His gaze landed on the Great Liang soldier he had knocked out.

“Your Highness, one can never be too careful,” Zhang San said anxiously. “Your Highness, a son of a wealthy family does not sit right under the eaves[1]. You’d better leave this place quickly!

“Leave the matters here to me. Even if I lose my life, I will definitely find out if the person in Great Liang’s capital is Cao Chenyang!”

“Don’t keep talking about dying!” Zhou Shu berated. “Did I spend so much effort to save you just to send you to your death?

“You’re the number one scout in the world. Can’t you think more carefully?”

Zhang San felt ashamed. He didn’t want to die either. But for Zhou Shu’s safety, he would have no regrets even if he died a hundred times!

Zhou Shu continued, “I don’t need you to find out what happened in Great Liang.”

“Your Highness, no! You can’t go!” Zhang San’s expression changed drastically. “I’m a scout. It’s my duty to gather information. Your Highness, Cao Chenyang must have set up many traps in Great Liang to lure you over. If you go over now, you’ll be walking right into his trap!

“I know your strength is unfathomable, but there’s really no need for you to take that risk. If anyone needs to go, it’s me!”

Zhang San almost growled.

He would definitely not let Zhou Shu take the risk.

“Who told you I was going?” Zhou Shu looked at Zhang San with a strange expression.

“Your Highness, if you’re not going, and I’m not going, then…” Zhang San looked puzzled.

Apart from him, there was only Zhou Shu here!

Was there a third person here?

…

Zhang San’s gaze landed on the Great Liang soldier under Zhou Shu’s feet.

Yes, there was a third person here, the soldier!

“Your Highness, you want to instigate him to defect? He’s not strong, and his will isn’t firm. It’s not difficult to instigate him to defect. But Your Highness, this person’s status is too low. Even if he’s willing to be our scout, I’m afraid he won’t be able to obtain much information.”

“Zhang San, your method of gathering information is already outdated.” Zhou Shu smiled. “This is an opportunity. I’ll let you see what a modern intelligence war is.”

Zhou Shu’s words made Zhang San at a loss. Modern? Intelligence war?

He could vaguely guess the meaning, but he couldn’t figure out the details.

“Your Highness, what do you plan to do?” Zhang San really couldn’t guess what Zhou Shu wanted to do.

Previously, he had considered instigating this soldier to defect. But later, he thought that instigating him to defect wouldn’t be of much use.

This soldier came into contact with too few secrets and didn’t have much value.

According to Zhang San’s plan, it was the cleanest to kill him without anyone knowing after the interrogation.

Zhou Shu said with a smile, “Wake him up.”

…

Zhang San stood behind Zhou Shu. He followed Zhou Shu’s instructions and did not make a sound no matter what Zhou Shu did.

But his heart was already full of question marks. What is His Highness trying to do? Is he developing a spy?

This Great Liang soldier has yet to pass the test. How can His Highness trust him so much and give him so many Myriad World Communication Tokens?

Does His Highness want the soldier to help develop more spies?

These Myriad World Communication Tokens are extremely beneficial for transmitting information. But the question is, will there be any news? This spy seems very unreliable!

Watching the soldier leave with a pile of Myriad World Communication Tokens, Zhang San finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Your Highness, what are you doing?”

He was really puzzled!

“You don’t understand?” Zhou Shu smiled. “That’s right. If you don’t understand, this soldier won’t understand either.”

Zhang San was confused. “If he doesn’t understand, then why…”

If the spy who’s going to instigate a rebellion doesn’t know anything, how is he going to do it?

His Highness knows everything, but he doesn’t seem to have done the job of a scout before. He’s really too amateur in this aspect.

Letting the Great Liang soldier go back now, what if he alerts Great Liang?

Zhang San sighed in his heart. He was already considering how to remedy this situation for Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu smiled. “Zhang San, you don’t have to go personally to gather information. The best way is to let the information we want to know come to us ourselves.

“Even the person who sends the news won’t know that his news will reach us. Such news is the most reliable and authentic news.

“Cao Chenyang himself might even become my source of information.”
