Chapter 192 A Big Fish, Great Qin General (2)
In fact, Great Qin had never said that they wouldnât allow the diplomatic mission of the ten nations to enter Hangu Pass. They had only set up the trial, and the nine nations could challenge the trial voluntarily.
It was fine if they were unwilling to challenge the trial.
But this was equivalent to giving up the right to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.
Of course, even if they didnât challenge the trials, they could still participate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. It was just that they couldnât participate as the host.
It was precisely because of this that the current army of Great Qin stationed at Hangu Pass wasnât the true elites of Great Qin, and the general wasnât necessarily a higher-up of Great Qin.
He might not even know the specifics of the nine checkpoints. Even if Zhou Shu obtained the hair of this general, what use would it be?
Meng Baiâs status was different! The one he knew was definitely an absolute higher-level person in Great Qin.
Only such a character could have access to Great Qinâs true secrets.
âI canât get any information.â Meng Bai shook his head. âHowever, when we reach Great Qinâs capital, I can introduce a few people to you, You Marquis.â
It will be too late by the time I arrive in the capital!
âGeneral, you are Great Xiaâs God of War. Before you arrive at Hangu Pass, wonât Great Qin send someone important to welcome you?â Zhou Shu asked.
Meng Bai couldnât help laughing. âIâm already old and weak. Moreover, Iâm not an official member of the diplomatic mission, so why would Great Qin welcome me?
âYou Marquis, what exactly do you want to do? Why donât you just say it? Perhaps I can think of a way.â
Zhou Shu was going around in circles. Meng Bai wasnât stupid, so he naturally knew that Zhou Shu was planning something.
âErmâŠâ Zhou Shu scratched his head. He definitely couldnât tell him about Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique. That would be too shocking.
He could only think of another way.
âGreat General, do you know that I have a senior brother?â Helpless, Zhou Shu could only bring out his undeserved invincible senior brother.
âOh?â Meng Bai nodded, indicating for Zhou Shu to continue.
Meng Bai naturally knew about the senior brother Zhou Shu spoke of. He was the one who had severed Xiao Shunzhiâs arm.
Of course, Zhou Shuâs words, regardless of whether it was Emperor Yuan Feng or Meng Bai, they merely just listened to him.
As for whether they believed it, no one knew.
âMy senior brother told me that Great Qinâs actions this time are slightly strange. There might be a huge problem within it,â Zhou Shu said. âThatâs why I was wondering if I could meet someone who knows about it. Even if I canât get any concrete information, I might be able to use some indirect methods.â
âYour senior brother told you that thereâs a problem with Great Qin?â Meng Bai said with a low voice. Regardless of whether the matter of his senior brother was true or false, he felt that Zhou Shu shouldnât be joking.
Actually, Meng Bai also felt that Great Qinâs methods were a bit strange.
If they wanted the various countries to compete in forging skills, they could compete however they wanted in Great Qin.
Why did they set up a checkpoint starting from Hangu Pass?
But Great Qin always controlled information extremely strictly, and even Meng Bai didnât obtain much valuable information.
âYou donât have to worry about Great Qin playing any tricks,â Meng Bai said with a low voice. âNo matter what checkpoints they set up, it wonât affect the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. They wouldnât dare.â
âGreat General, is there anything else to be said about this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?â Zhou Shu asked, puzzled. He didnât know why Meng Bai said Great Qin wouldnât dare.
âItâs a long story. Youâll find out later.â Meng Bai shook his head. âYou donât have to think too much about the matters of Great Qin. As for whether or not youâll be able to obtain the right for Great Xia to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, itâs up to fate. Thereâs no need to force it.â
After walking out of Meng Baiâs tent, Zhou Shu looked in the direction of Hangu Pass.
Meng Bai couldnât obtain what he wanted here either, so he could only give the general at Hangu Pass general a try.
Although Meng Bai and Emperor Yuan Feng said it was up to fate, Zhou Shu felt that since he was already prepared to take action, it would be too embarrassing if he lost.
Since he was here, there would be no second outcome.
He had never lost in the path of forging. At present, there was an army from Great Qin at Hangu Pass, as well as diplomatic missions from various countries.
Even with Zhou Shuâs cultivation, he didnât dare to forcefully attack Great Qinâs guarding general.
But it didnât seem like there was a need to use force. After all, he only needed a strand of the other partyâs hair.
Zhou Shu arrived in front of Hangu Pass and announced his identity to the Great Qin guard. Soon, a person dressed like a general arrived in front of him.
âAre you the official envoy of the Great Xia diplomatic mission? Have you decided on the candidates of your team?â The general thought that the Great Xia diplomatic mission had decided on who was going to challenge the trial.
âWe are still deciding.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âIâm here because I have something to ask you, General.â
âDidnât I already explain the rules to you?â the general said impatiently.
âItâs very simple. Every country will send out nine people to challenge the trial, whereas the others can head to Great Qinâs capital to wait. Those who succeed in the trial will have the qualifications to compete for the hosting rights of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, whereas those who fail will lose the right to compete.â âGeneral, youâre mistaken.â Zhou Shu smiled. âIâm not here to ask for guidance on the rules. âI just want to ask, General, do you know the details of these nine checkpoints?â
âI know, but I wonât tell you,â the general said. âYou can only know the contents of the next checkpoint after passing through one.â
âIâm glad you know, General.â Zhou Shu suddenly reached out and patted the generalâs shoulder.
When he reached out, the general had already sensed it and instinctively wanted to dodge.
But Zhou Shuâs seemingly slow movements landed right on his shoulder, and he was completely unable to dodge! After Zhou Shu patted the general on the shoulder, he turned and floated away. The general still hadnât reacted. The general only returned to his senses when Zhou Shu was far away.
He shook his head, looking puzzled, wondering why he hadnât avoided Zhou Shuâs action.
Perhaps it was because the other party had no hostility.
After all, the official envoy of Great Xia was only a seventh-rank martial artist, while he was already a fourth-rank martial artist. How could he not be able to dodge the other partyâs actions?
The general shook his head and turned around to return to the camp.
âWhat are you going to do?â Lu Wenshuang suddenly said.
When Zhou Shu patted the generalâs shoulder, he had pulled out a strand of hair from the generalâs head. The general didnât notice, but Lu Wenshuang had seen it clearly. âWould you believe me if I told you Iâm going back to bed?â Zhou Shu didnât explain and smiled.
He had obtained this generalâs hair very easily. He just didnât know what his status in Great Qin was like and how many secrets he knew.
Lu Wenshuang frowned slightly. She watched as Zhou Shu casually entered a tent. A moment later, he began to snore. Heâs still cultivating while sleeping? When Lu Wenshuang saw the faint white light appear on Zhou Shuâs body, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. She had even forgotten about the strand of hair.
Along the way, she had never left Zhou Shuâs side. She had never seen him work so hard before. Does he want to sharpen his spear in the face of imminent challenge?
Lu Wenshuang didnât think in any other direction. In this world, there were also cultivation techniques that could be cultivated while sleeping. Zhou Shu didnât appear special to her.
Even as a Forging Master, heâs working so hard. I should cultivate harder.
Lu Wenshuang found a place and sat cross-legged. Soon, she entered a state of cultivation.
The seemingly sleeping Zhou Shu transformed into a black-armored general in a dreamland. His name was Wang Xin, the grandson of Great General Wang Muzhi!
This Great Qin general was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Great Xiaâs three armies.
Wang Muzhi was equivalent to Meng Bai in Great Xia!
Even though his grandsonâs current position wasnât high, he would definitely be able to come into contact with the secrets of Great Qin!
Initially, he thought that the other party was just an ordinary guard general. He didnât expect him to have such an identity!
A thought flashed through Zhou Shuâs remaining consciousness. I actually caught a big fish!
