Chapter 13 The Secrets of the Snatch Recruits Part 2
Qiong Yue is a strong and rich country. Given their common people were also prosperous the country was honored to be the head of the six countries. Liao Yue, the next strongest country after Qiong Yue, had a powerful national strength. Both countries were powerful rivals in the past were also strong but Liao Yue’s national strength was also powerful. Both countries were powerful rivals in the past and in all of these years Liao Yue’s submission had become more superficial. In fact, their petty actions were unceasing; particularly when the Seventh Prince, Bai Yi, ascended the throne ten years ago. Liao Yue seemed to have a growing tension regarding its relationship with Qiong Yue. Whenever there were troubles at the borders, Qiong Yue has Su Military to guard it. That was why on land it can be said that Qiong Yue is invincible. Since Liao Yue was nearer to the Easter Sea, more than half of their regions occupies the geographical territories bordering that sea, therefore Liao Yue was famous worldwide for its naval forces.
By rights, due to its location, the recent call for Huan Lang Island to become domicile of Qiong Yue’s territorial waters was also growing since Liao Yue was further away. Liao Yue was very far and would have to cross the sea to attack Huan Lang Island,, what were they doing? Su Su faintly felt Liao Yue’s call to attack Huan Lang Island. There must be some map of scheme; she must certainly figure out Liao Yue’s planned scheme; whether it would threaten Qiong Yue and endanger her parents.
Because of Liao Yue, Su Su’s heart listened deeply to the discussions, carefully and attentively to the deliberations of the pirates.
Yi Hu had demonstrated a threatening and imposing manner but Sang Nuan slightly raised her eyebrows, the sound of her voice was still mild and her expression was somewhat provocative, “I, if I really wanted to help an outside attack Huan Lang Island, even if there was a battle array, I can still betray you…” The tone at the end of her sentence dragged. The unspoken word or statements, the smart individual will not speak rashly, what a pity. The great temperament and not the smart individual, Yi Hu exclaimed ‘hastily set a fire and burn’, “And what kind am I? You have the original story. You get it straight.”
Sang Nuan chuckled and ignored him. Yi Hu was just about to act crazy when Yi Meng Jiade coldly said, “That’s enough!” Looking at Sang Nuan with a heavy warning and discontentment in his eyes, he said, “The North side, Sang Nuan, you chose to remain alone and not defend it, I presume you should have other plans, if you have anything, talk clearly and don’t be so mysterious.”
Sang Nuan was smiling but her eyes did not look at Yi Meng Jaide . Answering in a tone neither arrogant nor humble, “Mo Yuan is proficient in the art of making oneself invisible using odd door number matrix strategy. Under the battle array, it will surely be mysterious, however, among Liao Yue troops, there is no guarantee there is nobody equally proficient in odd door number matrix technique. Just think, the style of ink and wash painting varies in the thickness of ink for contrasting effects. Few of Master Mo’s matrix is not naturally easy, but if the elite naval forces find the vulnerability and attacked forcefully, among the people of Huan Lang Island, nobody thoroughly understands the mysterious odd door matrix making one invisible; and if we were trapped within the matrix, we would want to run away to exit the mysterious matrix. I fear that will not be easy.” (E/N: She praises Mo Yuan’s art but also cautions everyone about the enemy’s possible ways of intrusion)
Su Su slightly squinted her eyes, it seems Sang Nuan was not optimistic with this battle against Liao Yue, now she wants to give the Huan Lang Island a way out. If the opponent was Liao Yue, Su Su also thought that this battle victory and defeat was already determined from the beginning. It was not because she was looking down on Mo Yuan, but the pirates’ strength against Liao Yue differed too much! Mo Yuan furthermore hasn’t given his all-out effort. It was not like he had come for somebody as a token of goodwill or affection. In this case, if the four sides were under the cover of the matrix method, the battle strategy would be entirely under the control of others.
Su Su finally understands why there was a look of dislike on that pirate chief’s face at Sang Nuan. On various occasions , it is estimated that he also knew that his daughter’s ability, wisdom and scheming was better than his reckless sons.
Su Su secretly acclaimed Sang Nuan and completely supported her. Su Su noted Yi Hu on the other side who was precisely saying over and over again, “Greedy for life, afraid of death”, Yi Hu’s countenance was full of contempt, Sang Nuan pretending not to notice, smiled calmly, “Keeping an escape or retreat route is not good.”
“You want to run away, go flee. I am not a coward, when they fall into the matrix, I will have them fight each other and destroy them in one swoop. The naval units in Huan Lang Island cannot be bullied.”
Su Su secretly felt funny, Yi Hu was surely fierce and biting and more than stubborn, but his intellectual strategy was insufficient, fit to be a piece of pirate material! This Lang Island if it finally fell into his hands, it will just be an ordinary pirate’s den, the fear of insufficient, if it fell into Sang Nuan’s hand … …
Su Su was once again singing praises for Sang Nuan. From beginning to end, she sits there gracefully; her voice was soft and gentle. To say the irony comes, she was not the least bit weak, “Do you know the matrix strategy? What is parallelism? Only feared that people not annihilate others, but you can get caught in the matrix too.”
“You!” Yi Hu stands up fiercely, if not for the man behind him who blocked, it only feared that he would rush to Sang Nuan, but Sang Leng sat before Sang Nuan and did not say a word. Standing up quickly, the silver gun in hand severely hit the ground with a thud.
“All just shut up!” Seeing two people ready to fight wore him out. Although Yi Hu stopped, his venomous look was very profound.
Yi Dang Jiade stared at Yi Hu and Sang Leng’s eyes maliciously, these two good-for-nothing things! He took a deep breath, looked to the Mo Yuan and asked, “ Lord Mo Yuan may we hear your respected opinion.”
Holding a cup of tea in his hand, Mo Yuan blew on the gently floating tea leaves. If the quarrel had turned this house into the smell of gunpowder, it would have nothing to do with him, “Mo is invited to help you keep and defend the island; the matter of line up of course will naturally do what is possible. As to how the island decides, Mo is more than inconvenienced.”
“Such being the case, Yi Hu, you are responsible for fully coordinating with Lord Mo to protect with every effort the east, south and west. As for north, Sang Nuan, you will do everything as you deem fit.” The Yi Hu countenance was gloomy, obviously was very mad. He was not angry with Mo Yuan but felt suffocated; he threw down a few words, then left the log cabin.
When Yi Dangjia left, they naturally do not want to stay, in particular, Yi Hu, was almost easy to charge up, he went out in a hurry, along the way, and all the way until the man spoke standing behind him, the way that men of having high opinion and always relied on.
Now the most important thing was to find out why Liao Yue wants to call an attack on Huan Lang Island. If she was to ask Sang Nuan, by her intelligence, she may not necessarily able to get to know the answer. To ask Mo Yuan ……Su Su immediately denied this stupid idea, that with Yi Hu around the young man side although there have been many words, actually the whole body was not passing one share strength but he was not reckless like Yi Hu. Maybe from him she can find information. Su Su hesitated for a moment, goes forward several steps and arrived at Mo Yuan’s. Pointing to the group of men in the distant place moving woods and asked, “Can I help them?”
Su Su was worried Mo Yuan will disagree, but he calmly responded with a phrase, “Go ahead.”
Su Su thinks Mo Yuan’s attitude towards her was very strange, just right now also, she doesn’t understand. Mo Yuan nodded and Su Su ran towards the seashore.
Su Su left Mo Yuan lingering behind, a black figure appeared, that of mountain man Su Su thought did not come, Li Yang, big tall figure move up, shaped like a ghost.
(Tl note: Was Li Yang under that invisible odd door matrix? He was there all the while but nobody could see him?)
“Ask anything .”
Li Yang looks weak and his complexion changes; his hand formed a fist. He tightened his fist and finally could not bear it anymore and asked, “Master, why did you make that boy follow your side?” For all these years, except for him, the master never let anybody close. He really could not see the merits of this youth, but the master keeps him to his side unexpectedly.
Mo Yuan stared at the figure who was running faster and farther. His usual quiet black pupils have waves of light as he spoke, “In her body is a halidom* and the inner vital energy. ” (E/N: I’m not sure if he actually uses the pronoun ‘her’ here since she’s still in disguise. I’ve already finished the MTL version so I know the surprise but I just don’t know if the pronoun was used between Mo Yuan and Li Yang…hmm perhaps the Chinese languages lack the term “he/she/her/him” like other languages and MTL translated it out to be this way? IDK)
*Halidom meaning something sacred or holy relic ( TL: I wish I could translate faster to know what is this)
Li Yang’s eyes opened wider, if master was not in front of him, he wanted to ran after him and catch that young man and take a closer look. No wonder the master brought him around and even arranged to sleep with him in the same room. Everything was related to the halidom, truly he cannot be taken lightly. The master looked nearly for one month on this island but hasn’t heard of the sacred object. He could not understand why the halidom that was missing nearly hundred years will be associated with this boy?
