Yun Chuwei couldn't discern anything wrong with Xiao Wenmo's martial arts moves.
All she could be sure of was that this person was very strong, and his martial arts skills were no less than Xie Xuan's.
A slight smile played on her lips: "I never imagined that Your Highness's brother's martial arts skills would be so formidable. Your Highness, if you were to face your brother, how many moves could you withstand? If you were to encounter a sneak attack of this caliber, would Your Highness be able to react in time?"
The Miao King was initially surprised to see his younger brother display such strength.
After all, he had no memory of his younger brother resorting to violence, and he had never heard of his younger brother diligently practicing martial arts.
However, after the initial surprise came relief.
He thought his younger brother was really amazing, as he was able to hold his own against Lord Wen without being at a disadvantage.
However, his expression changed slightly after hearing Yun Chuwei's words.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his younger brother being capable just now, but now...
He couldn't help but imagine what Yun Chuwei had said.
If both sides fought with all their might, how many moves could he withstand from his own brother? Perhaps ten? Or even less!
But what if it were his own younger brother who launched a sneak attack? He probably wouldn't even have time to react.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
He had never been clear about his younger brother's abilities, so he stayed very close to him.
If he were to attack when he was completely unprepared, wouldn't he be doomed?
Thinking of this, his expression changed repeatedly, and in the end, he couldn't help but despise himself.
How could he think of his own brother like that?
Yun Chuwei knew that her first step of sowing discord had been effective, so she quickly moved on to her second move.
She acted casually, seemingly forgetting the question she had just asked.
Then, her gaze swept around the courtyard, and she feigned an innocent look, praising, "The Prince truly dotes on this younger brother. His skills are already so strong, yet the Prince has assigned him so many guards and meticulously improved the marching formation as a defense for this residence. The Prince, as an elder brother, has truly gone to great lengths."
The Miao King's heart tightened again. He forced a smile and said, "Miss, you jest. He is my younger brother, and of course I will protect him. However, regarding the military formations you mentioned... I only instructed my men to carry them out; I haven't really studied them carefully yet..."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "I suppose Your Highness has never led troops into battle and is unaware of military formations. However, Your Highness's subordinates must have conducted in-depth research on military formations. Such people are rare talents."
Yun Chuwei paused for a moment, then introduced, "Your Highness, please look at the left wing. There are tall pavilions there, with various flags. They may seem like decorations, but they can be used to transmit signals in critical moments. There are hidden guards on all four sides of the pavilions, and every move in the mansion is under their watchful eyes."
"The layout of the mansion is similar on all four sides. The order of the various flags changes every fifteen minutes, so any problem on any side will be discovered within fifteen minutes. And..."
Yun Chuwei explained the advantages and disadvantages of the marching formation in great detail, and also clarified the improvements and advantages of applying the marching formation to this mansion.
The Miao king was terrified upon hearing this.
On the one hand, she didn't expect her younger brother's residence to have such tight security.
On the other hand, he was surprised that Yun Chuwei had seen through so many tricks at a glance.
This is truly astonishing.
In conclusion, Yun Chuwei said, "In short, Young Master Xiao's residence is very well guarded. In comparison, the guards at the Prince's residence are full of loopholes. If they were to encounter a highly skilled assassin, they would probably be powerless to resist. Your Highness, you might as well have that talented general design a marching formation for your protection to ensure your safety."
Yun Chuwei said, seemingly jokingly, "Your Highness can't just think about your brother's safety; you also have to consider your own, don't you?"
The Miao king found these words ironic.
His palace's defenses were not as high as those of Xiao Wenmo's residence, a fact he was completely unaware of.
Who is this talented general who can improve marching formations?
What else is there about his younger brother that he doesn't know?
What exactly does his brother want to do?
The Miao king was full of doubts, but dared not show them.
After all, what he was hearing now was only Yun Chuwei's side of the story.
He himself did not understand military formations, so he could not be sure whether Yun Chuwei was telling the truth or not; he needed to verify it.
So he simply smiled and said, "What you say is true, Miss. I will get to work on it as soon as possible!"
Yun Chuwei knew that the Miao King needed time to verify his identity, so she said nothing more.
Turning our attention back to the two combatants, we saw Xie Xuan knock Xiao Wenmo away with a single move.
Xiao Wenmo fell to the ground and rolled backward due to inertia, looking like he had taken a pretty hard fall.
The guards who had been anxiously watching rushed over and helped the person up.
Others drew their swords and charged towards Xie Xuan.
Yun Chuwei spoke at the right moment: "Awen, come back."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan flashed back to Yun Chuwei's side.
Yun Chuwei looked at Xiao Wenmo and gave him a gentle yet apologetic smile: "Young Master Xiao, I'm really sorry. Wenmo only wanted to spar with you and had no ill intentions. He just didn't know his own strength. I'll teach him a lesson when we get back."
After standing up, Xiao Wenmo smiled and said, "Miss, you flatter me. How can this be blamed on Lord Wen? It's just that I am less skilled."
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Young Master Xiao is indeed very magnanimous. Then I will thank Young Master Xiao on behalf of Awen for not blaming me."
