My Hidden Strength Was Exposed by the Heavenly Dao Ranking List – Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Peng Feng’s Plan

Peng Feng continued to ponder.

Just at this moment.

A eunuch walked in: “Your Majesty invites Duke of Chang Le to discuss the Jin Kingdom’s invasion. Please, Duke of Chang Le, move to the hall.”

“Okay.” Peng Feng nodded. One person’s plan is short, but many people’s plans are long. It was good to discuss it with others.

Immediately, he headed directly towards the imperial palace.

A moment later, he entered the council hall of the imperial palace.

He saw the other four Land Immortals of the Great Song Dynasty – Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji, Marshal Zhong Shidao, State Preceptor Lin Lingsu, and Tong Guan.

Among them, both Zhao Ji and Marshal Zhong Shidao were covered in injuries, wrapped up like mummies.

Zhao Ji was severely injured by Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Yelü Yanxi in the previous battle at Kaifeng City and had not yet recovered. He could only exert at most 30% of his full strength.

Zhong Shidao, on the other hand, had fought against Vermilion Bird Shangren Xiao Susu, and his whole body was almost roasted. He was also only able to exert at most 30% of his full strength.

Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji, upon seeing Peng Feng, said, “It’s good that Duke of Chang Le has arrived. Now, all five Land Immortals of our Great Song are gathered. What do you think about the Jin Kingdom’s invasion, Duke of Chang Le?”

Peng Feng sighed helplessly: “If these people from the Jin Kingdom were Land Immortals, even if they were at the tenth level of the Land Immortal Realm, I would not be afraid at all.

But among these Jin people, Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wugumai, who are ranked first and second on their Heaven List, are both at the Heavenly Human Realm. I can’t defeat those at the Heavenly Human Realm.”

Hearing Peng Feng say this, Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji couldn’t help but frown and sigh: “Even Duke of Chang Le can’t defeat those at the Heavenly Human Realm? And this time, the Jin Kingdom has two at the Heavenly Human Realm. What can we do?”

Zhong Shidao was silent. He really had no choice. If they really had to fight to the death, then they could only fight to the death.

Tong Guan also had no solution.

Lin Lingsu couldn’t help but remain silent as well.

In the face of an absolute difference in martial power.

All strategies seemed quite useless.

Seeing that no one responded, Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji couldn’t help but lower his head in dejection: “Alas, being this emperor is truly not a good feeling. If I were to pass the throne to my son, I wonder if the Jin Kingdom would spare me.

Which of my sons should I pass the throne to? It seems my eldest son Zhao Huan is good, but my ninth son Zhao Gou is also quite valiant. In this chaotic world, it seems the more valiant Gou’er would be better.”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Peng Feng’s mind.

“Wait, I’ve got it!” Peng Feng suddenly slammed the table: “I’ve got it! How to break through this Jin Kingdom’s attack.”

Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji.

Zhong Shidao.

Lin Lingsu.

Tong Guan.

Hearing this, they all perked up.

“Quick, tell us!”

“What’s the method?”

Peng Feng said, “This method is called, ‘Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao!'”

“Simply put, it’s…

Now, the Jin Kingdom’s army, led by two Heavenly Human Realm experts, Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wugumai, is directly attacking Kaifeng City of our Great Song.

If we were to confront them head-on, none of us could possibly be a match for these two Heavenly Human Realm experts.

A head-on collision is no different than hitting a rock with an egg. But, don’t forget that the Jin Kingdom also has a capital city. They have just established their capital in Huining Prefecture, and their families must also be in this Huining Prefecture.”

“If I were to go over there and capture all of their families, and capture all the important figures left behind in the Jin Kingdom, and use these people as hostages for negotiations, I believe we can avoid this crisis and resolve this Jin Kingdom’s attack,” Peng Feng said.

Zhong Shidao nodded: “This method is indeed feasible, but the only problem is that the Jin Kingdom has sent eight Heaven List experts this time.

However, there are still four Heaven List experts left behind in their capital, Huining Prefecture. Among them is Wanyan Loushi, who is ranked third.

This Wanyan Loushi, who is ranked third, only below the two Heavenly Human Realm experts, must have something extraordinary about him. Are you sure you can deal with Wanyan Loushi?”

“Of course, I have that confidence. Below the Heavenly Human Realm, I am invincible.” Peng Feng said confidently: “Then, I’ll trouble you all to attract the firepower of the Jin Kingdom’s army on the front, while I go and raid the Jin Kingdom’s home.”

“No problem,” Zhong Shidao said.

◈◈◈

“Then the plan is set,” Peng Feng said.

Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji said with pleading eyes: “Then, can I escape? Escape to another city to avoid the Jin Kingdom’s forces?”

His eyes showed that he also really wanted to escape.

“Heh, no. Moreover, under the Jin Kingdom’s attack, there is nowhere to escape in the world. Your Majesty, don’t even think about escaping. Just honestly guard Kaifeng City.” Peng Feng refused coldly.

Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji felt very wronged.

But this war council was settled just like that.

◈◈◈

After Peng Feng finalized the battle plan.

He returned to the Duke of Chang Le Residence.

Then, he found his wife, Li Qingzhao, and explained the previously discussed battle plan, and then said, “The key point of this plan is that I can capture the families of the Jin Kingdom’s high-ranking officials, but the Jin Kingdom’s high-ranking officials cannot capture my family, otherwise everything will be in vain, and we won’t gain any advantage in negotiations.”

“Therefore, I ask my wife to set off immediately and go to Jiangnan, find a small city to hide well, and wait until this matter is resolved.”

“In addition, this matter is very important. Please, my wife, absolutely keep your mouth shut, but you can take the key people with you.”

Li Qingzhao was also a female martial artist. At this critical moment, she naturally didn’t want to escape.

But she also knew that what Peng Feng said was the truth.

She nodded immediately: “Okay, then I will pack up immediately and go to a small city in the south with my father.”

Seeing that Li Qingzhao had escaped.

He thought about it again. His father, Peng Lianyi, was in Shanxi Province, which was safer than Kaifeng Prefecture, but not by much. So, he wrote a letter asking his father, Peng Lianyi, to escape to the south.

Now, the south was the safest.

After settling his family.

Peng Feng, alone.

With one saber.

One horse.

And a wine gourd.

It was no different from his previous trips to Western Xia.

The only difference was.

This time, the horse he was riding was not an ordinary horse either.

It was a fine steed he had gotten from Emperor Huizong of Song Zhao Ji, a Thousand Mile Snow Treader.

This horse had black fur all over its body.

Only the hooves were covered in snow-white fur.

Hence the name, Thousand Mile Snow Treader.

This horse could travel a thousand miles a day.

Because, to implement this plan, speed was of the essence, and he needed such a steed.

Peng Feng gently patted the horse’s rump.

The Thousand Mile Snow Treader shot out like lightning.

One man and one horse.

Headed straight for Huining Prefecture, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
