Chapter 198: There are Loulan Misses in the Western Regions

“Miss Morning Light seems very knowledgeable about ancient history, right. Yes, I am talking about Ban Chao.”

Mo Xiaobai was also a bit surprised. He had not given any useful hints, so for A Wisp of Morning Light to think of the Commander managing the Western Regions at that time directly from the “Inscription on Langjuxu Mountain,” he must not be underestimated.

Hearing Mo Xiaobai confirm, A Wisp of Morning Light chuckled lightly: “Since it is Ban Chao, I understand. His battle against the Da Yuezhi happened in that period, roughly synchronized with Dou Xian destroying the Xiongnu.”

“Yes, that is right. Actually, one reason Dou Xian is not very famous in history is the existence of Ban Dingyuan. One era only needs one super hero for an ethnic group, let alone the fact that Dou Xian himself had serious style problems. So, it is perfectly correct for later generations to choose Huaxia’s hero for that era as Ban Chao.”

Mo Xiaobai spoke with a smile, then added: “The reason I told you about Ban Chao is not because of Ban Dingyuan’s eternal fame, but because he holds a lifeline of Huaxia’s strength from back then.”

“I know this! The Silk Road!”

Since Mo Xiaobai and A Wisp of Morning Light had spoken so clearly, even if Bai Hualin was a complete beginner in history, she could guess what the “core content” Mo Xiaobai wanted to say was.

Except for the Silk Road that all Huaxia kings in past generations wanted to open up, there would not be a second option.

At this moment, the sound of Fatty’s exclamation followed: “Damn it, buddy, your heart is really big. Are you saying our next Instance is not to fight the Xiongnu with Dou Xian, but to help Ban Chao clear the Western Regions and fully take over the Silk Road?”

“The downfall of the Xiongnu is already set. Even if we went, we would only be witnessing history. In comparison, using our own strength to sweep away all nations in the Western Regions and help Ban Chao deal with the Da Yuezhi in one go, which side sounds more interesting?”

Should they attack the setting-sun Xiongnu to witness history?

Or should they sweep the Western Regions and pacify the Silk Road?

A-Dai, who had remained silent until now, spoke up at this moment: “If we truly traveled back to that era, I would choose to witness history. But since this is a game Instance, I feel that attacking the nations in the Western Regions would earn more Merit.”

A-Dai’s words also awakened the others.

Right!

This was a game!

The most important thing when entering an Instance was to earn Merit!

“The Western Regions are good, the Western Regions are good. Going to the Western Regions earns Merit and lets us see many Loulan Misses. This must be heaven’s decree that Grandpa Fatty must go to save their souls.”

“Give it a rest, you creepy fat guy.”

Luyu opened his mouth to joke without provocation, causing Bai Hualin to complain again.

Listening to Mo Xiaobai and the others confirm the Instance strategy, Shangshan Ruoshui could not help but ask: “Older brother, you have figured out the strategy on your side. Can you give me a hint? Our Great Ming Instance this time is the ‘Battle of Taizhou’. How can I earn Merit?”

Hearing Shangshan Ruoshui ask, Xiao Bai immediately added: “Little brother, what is the ‘Battle of Taizhou’?”

“Xiao Bai, you really need to seriously review the major historical events of various dynasties. The ‘Battle of Taizhou’ was the debut show of Great Ming’s Qi Jiguang and his Qi Family Army fighting Japanese pirates. How is it not more famous than Dou Xian’s ‘Inscription on Langjuxu Mountain’?”

“Huh? Qi Jiguang? He is a famous general from one generation.”

“Yes, Qi Jiguang is indeed a famous general. But if Great Ming’s Instance this time is the ‘Battle of Taizhou’, then for players, the real big opportunity in the Instance is not him, but another famous general.”

Mo Xiaobai naturally knew some benefits and opportunities of the “Battle of Taizhou” Instance, but he could not say everything so directly. He could only tell Shangshan Ruoshui in a guessing tone.

Mo Xiaobai was not worried about whether Shangshan Ruoshui could figure it out.

This kid also had a “Military Advisor” by his side.

As expected, Shangshan Ruoshui did not continue to ask after hearing this. Instead, he nodded and said: “Hey~ Thanks, older brother. My sister nodded to me, she should know what to do.”

“You kid, how can you say everything?” A Wisp of Morning Light said a bit helplessly. Sometimes she really wanted to sew up her brother’s mouth.

“Sister, I am just showing my presence in front of the Great Gods for you.”

“Hehe~ Do you think my business is now under your control?”

“Don’t be. Dear sister, you are my dear sister. Hey, ouch…”

The two siblings were play-fighting and it did not seem to affect the Alliance Communication, which made Mo Xiaobai feel awkward and blushed. Ignoring the goofy Shangshan Ruoshui, Mo Xiaobai continued talking to Fatty and the others: “Our goal is now very clear: we have decided to go to the Western Regions. So everyone prepare yourself. After all, the Western Regions are not the same as the Central Plains and Jiangnan. There is one more thing, Fatty, how many horses do you have now?”

“Me? About seventy to eighty ordinary ones. Should I bring White Qilin Horses? If I do, I can bring them too.”

“Bring ten White Qilin Horses for me, half male and half female. For the rest, bring as many as you can. I will also bring war horses. For this long trip to the Western Regions, not having enough horses is not an option.”

After giving instructions to Fatty, Mo Xiaobai turned and spoke: “A-Dai, you two handle your current tasks and try to travel through the night. Get to Daming Town before noon tomorrow. If you are late, I cannot wait for you. Xiao Bai, you need to get there as early as possible too.”

“That is all. I will end the communication call first. You do what you need.”

…

When the first short Alliance Communication ended, Shangshan Ruoshui and A Wisp of Morning Light sat down again and immediately asked: “Older sister, what did you mean by nodding just now?”

“Nodding is just nodding. What else could it mean?”

“Stop joking. I am sorry, okay? Just tell me. What was the ‘big opportunity’ the Great God mentioned? Qi Jiguang’s junior? Or his wife? I have never heard his wife was a famous general.”

“What junior or wife? The ‘big opportunity’ he mentioned can be considered half a superior officer of Qi Jiguang: Yu Dayou, who served as Vice Commander at that time.” A Wisp of Morning Light glanced at her younger brother and said calmly.

“Yu Dayou? There seems to be such a person.”

“What do you mean ‘seems’? He was not an ordinary person. Just for that life of his, it was hard enough.”

“Huh? Having a hard life counts as not ordinary?”

“Of course. In the entire hundreds of years of Great Ming, being able to enter and leave the Jinyiwei prison just like going home for Chinese New Year, and coming out unscathed every time… how many people like that can you count?”

Entering the Jinyiwei prison was like going home for Chinese New Year?

This metaphor is… very good, very strong.

Wait?

No way!

Why was my older sister suddenly mentioning the Jinyiwei prison?

“Older sister, you are not trying to tell me Yu Dayou was in prison at that time, are you?”

“Congratulations, you guessed right.”

“Damn it. The Jinyiwei really acted like no humans. Even while fighting Japanese pirates, they locked their own Great General in a dungeon.” Shangshan Ruoshui was speechless, but he also understood what Mo Xiaobai meant.

If the Jinyiwei could arrest him, then Players could free him!

For players, all rules were nonsense in front of Instance Merit and benefits!

Yu Dayou, Shangshan Ruoshui had decided to save him!
