Completing their dinner peacefully, cheng'er and his father talked about skills of martial arts,
And discussed some official matters with his son as he does all the time,
Now how can one discuss official matters with a 12years old naughty boy! right? yes! Even cheng'er father didn't have this thought unless he once encountered a situation himself.
where cheng'er was simply 9years old cute naughty little boy.
one day Gao lei came home with a bit tensed face and straight away headed towards his study and spent the whole day thinking about the military affairs in which one single matter was a bit complicated, it's not that being a wise and great general he couldn't solve it but he was in dilemma,
After dinner when everybody was asleep Gao lei got from his bed and went to take a troll in the garden But to his surprise he found chang'er playing with some grass and leaves.
He went near the boy and asked him why wasn't he sleeping in his bed but, playing here with some wild grass,
He asked, "Cheng'er where's Nanny Zhang and why aren't you in your bed?"
changer replied that Nanny Zhang was asleep and he quietly sneaked out without her knowledge.
Gao Lei laughed at his son's mischief, and inquired, him why was he playing with those leaves in the middle of the night?
Chenger replied " Father I aren't playing with some leaves but separating them"
Gao Lei asked why he did so?
"Father I'm separating these leaves which are called "divine luck" and are an extremely rare category of herbs this is not the place for it to grow but surprisingly we have it in our garden but, unfortunately, these are niced up some wild herbs. So I'm separating them, and I'm planning to go to the alchemy store and sell them you know father these are very expensive and are in high demand.
Talk about the benefits these leaves were used a long ago in the "Han dynasty" to determine the poison & it's also a cure.
A person who died using poison if treated within an hour he will get back to his life as this leaves removes the toxins& improves immunity, But, it destroys the meridian which makes the person crippled from martial arts, and he won't be able to cultivate further.
Listening to his son's explanation Gao lei was beyond the astonishment, His brain cells were messed up.
He looked at his son in a surprising state.
Because Qin Yue had a good knowledge of herbs and alchemy yet, she didn't know so extreme and rare knowledge about these things.
Looking at his son Gao Lei wanted to test how deep understanding does his little cute devil has,
"Cheng'er there's a thing that father is a bit confused about. can you help father understand it? " he asked?
cheng'er nodded his head
Gao lei said "but, this is an official matter don't spill the beans,
" The king of the neighboring region had sent some of his loyal spies to our "Qi Empire" to know about our plans and moves, Luckily we find some of them but, as soon as they get caught they within a second kill themselves, by drinking poison.
so here we don't have solid evidence to directly blame or take action on the neighboring country. But we don't want to openly investigate this case as this may alert the remaining spies. Not I directly want to take action on their country, So what do you think about this? " he inquiries the little boy though Gai Lei didn't have high expectations he wanted to try out.
cheng'er heard the whole story &
responded calmly, As though he is a Grand advisor of the "Emperor"
"Father firstly when at the beginning the spies started to kill themselves, Don't you think the hidden ones would have got to know about this & might be by now they are more cautious than before. So it's no use either you investigate this matter in open or in secrecy.
" The second thing, this matter by now would have reached to their king's ears and he already has started to prepare his army to its best, As he figured out once this matter of spies is disclosed in "Qi Empire" they might any time, Attack us so, he is already prepared.
and now let's talk about the solution
As I mentioned, to you moments ago that this plant is called "Divine Luck" and has got its benefits and one of which is as I said it can determine the poison.. according to your narration you mentioned that the spies are in our "Qi Army" and as soon as they are caught they kill themselves with poison,
So why don't you beforehand use these leaves on them so that the poison could be determined and they won't be aware of it?
this way you can catch them alive and investigate them thoroughly.
you get strong evidence and you could also prepare your plans thoroughly."
After saying all this cheng'er got up and went to sleep as he was tried running around the whole day.
But the person who just heard all this was petrified as though he was struck by the lighting.
He wasn't in his right mind this situation was beyond his imagination
Gao lei wasn't able to recover from this astonishment, Thus he ended up thinking about this matter for the rest of the night until the morning rays hit his face and wen ying had come to him and called out.
Gao lei came back to his sense he was shocked because this kind of solution wasn't even written in the Great book of military "1000 strategies to conquer your enemies plot"
He stood up and went back to do his daily routines.
That day he thought that cheng'er was very wise and simply Great But later, he got to know that this was just a trail of cheng'er insight, Since then, he discussed every matter with cheng'er to know his opinion on the issue.
But there was one thing that Gao lei couldn't understand that since childhood this kid was very playful and naughty, Who didn't show any interest in martial arts or any other skills. He was simply too lazy to read and write.
But, How come he had such incredible knowledge & understanding.
today's tricky question to solve?
* How did cheng'er have such an extreme knowledge about things in detail while he was always a naughty and playful boy?
