Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 277: 277: Grass Boat Borrowing Arrows

Tie San had never been this happy before. He was like a joyous little bee, frantically flapping his wings, and almost immediately rushed out to start arranging for his men to prepare.

He had already thought of how to respond and understood Gu Tong’s arrangements better. In his heart, he only thought that he must handle this matter beautifully!

If he had already been given the method and still couldn’t complete the task, he’d simply be a fool.

After Tie San left, the room fell silent. The empty room was quiet for a long time without anyone speaking...

No one knows how long it took, but finally, Huang Shou swallowed and said, ”Sis, you’re really just a trainee, right? You’re not lying, are you...”

Perhaps Gu Tong’s acting was too convincing. Now he truly had the illusion that she was the mastermind, the real boss.

Zhao Yong cleared his throat upon hearing this, hurriedly explaining, ”This... you can rest assured, Tong is definitely a special trainee, and part of the Royal Doctor group, truly formidable...”

Formidable indeed, Gu Tong almost single-handedly took on the entire bandit den, and it was through intelligence too. Who could believe it if told?

”Then, then I can relax...”

Huang Shou feared leaving the wolf’s den only to enter the tiger’s den, his little heart pounding in fright. This girl was just too terrifying...

Just like the female villain in a TV drama, the kind that kills without spilling blood...

Scary as hell...

Of course, Huang Shou hadn’t forgotten that when Gu Tong first appeared, she had that white lotus, pitiful look. He shivered all over, almost poking his own eyes out!

In the future, he must keep his eyes wide open. As his mother said, the more beautiful a woman, the more dangerous. Poisonous snakes, cannibal flowers, no doubt about it...

”Cough cough, Tong, what should we do next? Is there anything we need to cooperate on?”

Zhao Yong swallowed, mustering the courage to ask this question. After all, they also needed to cooperate, it wasn’t a solo act...

However, he didn’t know Gu Tong’s plan, so he couldn’t take action.

Gu Tong blinked and said confusedly, ”The plan is so obvious, and you still don’t know?”

That’s it, I’m done for...

So obvious, how could he not know...

Zhao Yong wished he could crack open his own skull, quickly grasping Tong’s meaning...

Gu Tong rolled her eyes, silently cursing Zhao Yong’s dullness, and explained, ”Haven’t you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms?”

”Yes, yes I have...”

The special trainees of Longxing Country not only have to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also study The Art of War by Sun Tzu. These serve as reference books for training.

Zhao Yong swallowed, his brain continuously searching for episodes from the Three Kingdoms to see if there were any scenes that could match.

”If you’ve read it and still don’t understand,” Gu Tong held her forehead, helplessly explaining, ”it’s a classic scene, the Grass Boat Borrowing Arrows! Zhuge Liang using a broken straw boat tricked the enemy into giving him 100,000 arrows, same principle.”

”...” Zhao Yong nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The difference is huge, well...

In China’s case, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows using a straw boat and deceived 100,000 arrows.

You’re expecting the bandits to deliver the Artifact Fire themselves down the mountain willingly, it’s a completely different concept...

However, Zhao Yong could only dare to think such things and not say them out loud. He didn’t have the courage to court death...

”So, what should I do now...”

After Zhao Yong asked this, Gu Tong nearly slapped him to death. Executing a task, is it now popular to not use your brain...

”Find someone swift to quickly notify the Academy’s Grand Guild! The bandits have to return to the embrace of the Academy’s Grand Guild, how can we not ’properly’ welcome them!”

Zhao Yong: ”...” No one can argue against this...

Huang Shou: ”...” All hail Gu Tong...

To defy is a crime, simply perfect!
