"Wanwan, this matter is of great importance. Is your source reliable?" General Chu was imprisoned in the Soul Nourishing Altar and didn't know much about Sheng Wanwan's abilities. He was still somewhat worried, after all, this involved important matters of the court.
“Grandfather, rest assured, my sources are absolutely reliable,” Sheng Wanwan replied decisively, while silently adding in her mind, “This is a spoiler from the future.”
Seeing this, Si Mingye also spoke up in support: "I also believe in Wanwan; she has never made a mistake."
“Brother Chu, our granddaughter is quite capable. Just believe what she says! All we need to do is discuss how to steal the grain! We can’t fight, after all, the Liang army is still eyeing the border with hostility.” Ma Changshan had great confidence in Sheng Wanwan’s abilities.
"Yes, good!" General Chu nodded and chose to believe his granddaughter.
So General Sheng and Marquis Wu'an gathered together to discuss how to steal the grain, how many people to send, and whether to disguise themselves as bandits or refugees.
"Actually, you don't need to discuss this. I can go by myself! It takes more than half a month to go to and from Yongzhou Mountain, but if Da Bai takes me at full speed, it will probably only take a week at most. Besides, I have an invisibility talisman, so I won't be easily discovered! So there's no need to discuss any schemes or plots. I can move all of Prince Rui's grain by myself!"
Sheng Wanwan smiled, her eyes shining brightly, as if the stars and the sea were shimmering in her eyes.
"Really? Can you really manage by yourself? Even if you can, how will you transport them back? A hundred thousand troops would require a lot of supplies." Although Ma Changshan believed in Sheng Wanwan's abilities, he didn't know that Sheng Wanwan possessed a spatial ability.
The others, upon hearing this, did not share this concern.
"You don't need to worry about that, Wanwan is very capable! Wanwan, how about your grandfather goes with you?"
General Chu felt that he, as the maternal grandfather, was closer to Wanwan. Look, even Old Ma didn't know that Wanwan had a spatial ability, but he did.
General Chu was very pleased.
"Grandfather, why don't you stay here and help Grandpa Ma? The Great Liang Kingdom is eyeing us covetously, and you can help Grandpa Ma come up with ideas while you're here!"
Sheng Wanwan felt that the title "godfather" was too cumbersome, so she preferred to call him "Grandpa Ma"!
"Then will Great-Grandpa go with you? I want to go play with you!" The old man with white hair and beard stroked his all-white beard and said with a smile.
Sheng Wanwan's great-grandfather was a martial arts master in his lifetime. Later, he followed the late emperor to achieve great things and was awarded the title of General Who Protects the Nation.
It can be said that in terms of both wisdom and skill, my great-grandfather was superior to both General Chu and Marquis Wu'an, because he was the only true warrior who had fought his way up from the battlefield. He had been tempered by countless battles, large and small, before helping the late emperor establish the Great Yan Kingdom. He was arguably more accomplished in battle than General Chu.
However, my great-grandfather was a man who loved freedom by nature. Rather than making achievements, this old rascal preferred to travel around the world and enjoy the scenery.
During his lifetime, the Great Yan Kingdom was newly established, and neighboring states were eyeing it covetously. Therefore, his great-grandfather could only protect the country in place of the late emperor. Now that he has been dead for so long, all the past events are in the past. He doesn't want to worry about worldly affairs even after death, so he takes a very open-minded view of the calamities that befell the Great Yan Kingdom!
"Great-Grandpa, it's fine if you come with me, but you have to do me a favor when we get there!"
Sheng Wanwan wore a foxy smile.
"Alright, alright, as long as you don't think your great-grandfather is in the way, whatever you want your great-grandfather to do, great-grandfather will do it!"
Great-grandfather made the decision readily and decisively. This child is so adorable and cute; who could resist such a descendant?
"Alright! Then Great-Grandpa, go into the spatial dimension!"
As Sheng Wanwan spoke, her great-grandfather's ghost disappeared.
"Grandfather, the Soul-Nourishing Altar is for you! During the day, when the yang energy is too strong, you can stay there!"
"Okay!"
General Chu didn't insist on going; he hadn't been dead long enough to let go of his past life. Now that the Great Yan Kingdom was in trouble, of course he would do everything in his power to protect it!
"Big brother, Crown Prince, you don't need to come with me. It will take me a week to go back and forth. Don't waste this time."
"Penglai Immortal Mountain is probably near Jiaozhou City in the Great Liang Kingdom. Jiaozhou City is about a week's journey from the border. When you get there, first find the entrance to Penglai Immortal Mountain. If you can find the entrance, go in and investigate the seal!" Sheng Wanwan recalled the description of Penglai Immortal Mountain in the book and determined its approximate location!
Although Sheng Wenjin was a disciple of the Immortal Sect on Penglai Immortal Mountain in his previous life, hundreds of years have passed now, and it is uncertain whether the Immortal Sect is still the same one. Generally, Immortal Sects will set up a barrier outside the mountain gate to prevent mortals from entering.
If one does not know the proper method, it will be difficult to find the entrance to the Immortal Sect.
"Alright! We'll set off tonight! We need to get into the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom before nightfall to avoid being discovered by the Great Liang army!" Si Mingye said, frowning.
Although he had a natural talent for learning magic and was able to fly on a sword in just a few days, flying on a sword was extremely taxing on spiritual energy, and even Sheng Wenjin dared not fly on a sword casually.
So they still had to choose to travel on horseback.
"Hmm! Big brother, Crown Prince, these are for you! If you encounter any trouble you can't solve, Liuguang will help you! It's very intelligent! And these are various poison pills; I've written their toxicity on the bottles."
This is an invisibility talisman, I just drew it, it makes you invisible for half an hour. And this... this..."
Sheng Wanwan took out a lot of things and handed them to Sheng Wenjin and Si Mingye.
This action filled Ma Changshan with envy. He rubbed his hands together and said:
"Hey! Wanwan! These things are good! Do you have any more? Give me some! If our army were equipped with these, what would we need to fight? We could just wipe them out..."
"Grandpa Ma wants to equip a 100,000-strong army with these weapons?"
"Mmm..."
"No! Grandpa Ma, these poisons are just pranks! I don't have many, and all the ingredients are very expensive!"
This invisibility talisman was drawn with my lifeblood; if I were to use it to equip a large army, I reckon even if I bled to death, I couldn't draw many of them!
Sheng Wanwan said earnestly.
"Oh! I see. Then let's forget about it! Wanwan, it's getting late. Would you like to rest before continuing your journey?"
Ma Changshan asked!
"Okay! Wanwan is still young and can't miss any sleep. I'll set off tomorrow! Big brother, Crown Prince, if you're leaving tonight, be careful! Wanwan is going to bed!" Sheng Wanwan said and then disappeared!
Sheng Wanwan felt fine if she didn't talk about sleeping, but the thought of sleeping made her eyelids feel heavy, as if she was about to fall asleep.
Ma Changshan was shocked to see Sheng Wanwan suddenly disappear!
The goddess truly lives up to her name! Where did she go to sleep?
