Zhou Shu didn’t know much about the history of Daxia, but when Yin Wuyou said this, he understood.
Conquering lost ground, this kind of thing is indeed easy for people to get into trouble.
"Dawei won't be so kind, right? If we win, they will return Youbian and the two states to us. What if Daxia loses?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"Since it is a bet, it is of course equal."
Yin Wuyou said calmly, "If the number one in the list of standard weapons is the Wei Dynasty, then Daxia will cede the land of the two states to the Wei Dynasty."
"Are you crazy?"
Zhou Shu almost wanted to curse. He really wanted to tell Emperor Yuan Feng seriously that gambling was wrong and illegal!
"What if the number one standard weapon is neither Daxia nor Dawei?"
"That can be considered a loss for Daxia, but in that case, the bet is not the land of the two states, but the secret recipe of the Weapon Forging Division."
Yin Wuyou said in a deep voice.
"I said Da Sikong, why do you think Daxia can win?"
Zhou Shu said speechlessly, if he wants to conquer the lost territory, he should beat them.
Don’t you think it’s childish to gamble?
Besides, why do you think Daxia ranks first in the standard weapons spectrum?
As long as you don't rank first, you lose? Why didn't you find Daxia so confident before?
Furthermore, are you serious about using mere standard weapons to decide such a major matter?
"It's up to you!"
Yin Wuyou looked directly at Zhou Shu with bright eyes, unblinking.
Zhou Shu even suspected that she would fall in love with him the next moment...
"Don't——"
Zhou Shu took a step back and distanced himself from Yin Wuyou. Don't use this honey trap on me. I won't accept this!
"Da Sikong, don't say that. This matter has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Shu shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am just a soldier-making apprentice. At most, I am a workshop master and a ninth-grade sesame official. Such important national affairs have nothing to do with me."
"You are the number one weapon-casting apprentice in Daxia, and Shen Yue is also a weapon-casting apprentice."
Yin Wuyou said, "He comes to Daxia to challenge him. If you don't stand up, who will?"
"The number one weapon-casting apprentice in Daxia?"
Zhou Shu was confused. When did he get this name? How come he didn’t know it?
"Of course!"
Yin Wuyou said with certainty, "Being qualified to participate in the Great Xia military parade as a soldier-making apprentice is something that has not happened in Great Xia for hundreds of years!"
"Besides, there are the Tiger Ben Sword, the Hundred Refined Ring Sword, the Horse Saber, the Xiuchun Sword and the Qiushui Yanling Sword. Among the weapon-making apprentices, if you claim to be second, who dares to claim to be first! I think that Shen Yue is far behind.
Far inferior to you!"
Yin Wuyou's eyes sparkled and he spoke.
She looks a bit like a little fan girl now?
Zhou Shu was a little embarrassed by what she said.
Are you really that powerful?
The No. 1 Weapon Forging Apprentice in Daxia, he sounds pretty good.
The corner of his mouth just raised, and the next moment, he shook his head firmly.
"Da Sikong, don't do this with me."
Zhou Shu said resolutely, "It's okay for you to let me forge soldiers, but if you want to compete with others, you'd better hire another expert."
One bet can determine the fortune. Let others do such exciting things.
This thing is easy to say if you win, but if you lose, it will be infamy for thousands of years.
Although Zhou Shu didn't think he would lose, he felt there was no need to take that risk.
He had to pay back the small amount of wages given by the workshop owner, so why bother?
"Among the apprentices of the Weapons Forging Department, is there anyone more skilled than you?"
Yin Wuyou asked back.
Zhou Shu still shook his head, "Da Sikong, it's useless for you to wear a high hat for me. How the standard weapon list is arranged, the devil knows."
Standard weapons are different from premium weapons. Premium weapons are strictly graded, and who is stronger and who is weaker has its own conclusion.
However, the strength of standard weapons has a lot of subjective factors.
The swords used by cavalry are more lethal than the swords used by infantry, does that mean their swords are better?
Bows and arrows can attack from a distance, so they must be better than daggers?
These must be included in the standard weapons spectrum.
Tianji Villa has its own set of algorithms for this thing. Although it is fairly fair, no one knows how it is calculated.
In the past, everyone didn't pay too much attention to the spectrum of standard weapons. After all, standard weapons are not magic weapons. They are better or worse, but the gap is not that big.
What everyone is more concerned about is the catalog of top-grade weapons.
Therefore, in the past, standard weapons were ranked higher and lower, but no one cared too much, and no one took it seriously.
Who knows what went crazy for Da Wei this time, and he actually used it to gamble!
"Then someone named Shen dares to say that. He most likely has some preparations. I don't even know how the standard weapons are arranged. Doesn't this make me take the blame? Don't do it!"
Zhou Shu shook his head firmly and said.
"You really don't want to do it?"
Yin Wuyou's pretty face turned cold, and she took a step closer to Zhou Shu. She raised her head and raised her chest, so tall that she almost touched Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu's eyes were wandering, his nose smelled the delicious body fragrance, and his mind was in a trance.
"Don't do it!"
But he still remains rational.
"You have to do it whether you do it or not!"
Yin Wuyou suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Shu's shirt with both hands. His pretty face almost touched Zhou Shu's, and he bared two small tiger teeth and said fiercely.
Zhou Shu looked at the pretty face so close at hand. Her skin was as white as snow, with blue blood vessels clearly visible and almost no pores visible.
Zhou Shu felt a heat flowing up and down in his body.
"Da Sikong, please pay attention to your identity. Men and women should not be intimate with each other."
Zhou Shu carefully moved his body back and said.
"Isn't this kind of thing not consensual? There's no point in forcing me."
Zhou Shu said.
"Tell me what you want before agreeing."
Yin Wuyou said angrily, "Don't you want to help Daxia win back Youbian and Erzhou?"
"Da Sikong, I look in the mirror every morning when I wake up."
Zhou Shu said righteously.
"Why, do you want to say that you are handsome?"
Yin Wuyou said angrily.
Zhou Shu: "Uh..."
Although this is a fact, I don’t mean to say this!
"I know how much I weigh! Conquering lost territory is what generals should do. Who am I? Do I have what it takes?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhou Shu said.
"You didn't have it before, now isn't the opportunity here?"
Yin Wuyou spoke sincerely.
Of course she could give direct orders, or even ask Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty to issue an imperial decree ordering Zhou Shu and Shen Yue to compete.
But this kind of thing, forcing it, definitely did not make Zhou Shu himself agree that the effect would be better.
"Zhou Shu, as long as you succeed, it is not impossible to become a prince and become a prime minister."
Yin Wuyou said.
"Become a Marquis and worship the Prime Minister?"
Zhou Shu shook his head and started to draw a big picture.
The prerequisite for becoming a prince and becoming a prime minister is to win.
What if we lose?
Why didn't you say that if I lose, the people of Daxia will scold me to death?
That's not to mention, what kind of assassination list does Wei like to make? If I beat their genius, they are still not allowed to include me in it?
When the time comes, there will be assassinations from time to time. Do I still want to play?
"Da Sikong, let me just tell you that the standard weapons list will be out soon. I can't develop any new weapons in such a short period of time. If the weapons I made before can be on the list, I will be lucky enough to win against Shen Yue.
Forget it, if it doesn’t work, I can’t help it. Anyway, I can’t specially forge a weapon to compete with him.”
Zhou Shu said without letting up.
Yin Wuyou frowned and said in a pleading voice, "No way, Shen Yue not only wants to get the first place in the standard weapons spectrum this time, but also wants to surpass Daxia in every type of standard weapon, swords, guns and swords Halberds and eighteen kinds of weapons, he wants to learn about them all with the weapon-forging apprentices of Daxia Weapon-Forging Department!"
"Is he so versatile?"
Zhou Shu was just a little surprised, but he didn't really care too much. Knowing more doesn't mean he knows better.
If you can forge all kinds of weapons, it must be good?
If you don’t learn well, you will make people laugh.
Zhou Shu even suspected that the man surnamed Shen was still an apprentice in weapon casting because he was too distracted.
Of course, he might actually be a genius, and he has other plans for not being promoted to the Weapon Master.
"Then Da Sikong, you have found the wrong person even more. I can only forge knives..."
Zhou Shu said, there are no other weapons on the divine weapon map.
"You are a genius, you can know all the ways, and there must be no problem with anything else!"
Yin Wuyou said with certainty.
Zhou Shu has a black hair. Your Highness, Princess, you see that I have an idol halo now. Doesn’t this make me look too wise and mighty?
Shen Yue may be a real genius, but Zhou Shu is really not a genius...
Without the Atlas of Divine Weapons, his skill in forging weapons might not even be comparable to veterans like Zhang Yibei and Wu Laoliu.
Zhou Shu is fully aware of the difference in qualifications between his predecessors.
Of course, with the map of divine weapons, Zhou Shu is not afraid of the opponent.
"Da Sikong, in the end, the competition is about whose position is number one in the standard weapons spectrum. Is it useful to do so many tricks?"
Zhou Shu was speechless.
"If he can die-cast a weapon of eighteen kinds of weapons, then there is no need to wait for the standard weapon spectrum to be announced, and Daxia will lose immediately!"
Yin Wuyou said, "Besides, if he is too majestic on Daxia's territory, where will my majesty be in Daxia?"
"Okay."
Zhou Shu shrugged, as long as you are happy.
"Then Da Sikong, you should find which weapon-forging apprentices are good at forging these weapons instead of wasting your time here."
"Zhou Shu!"
Yin Wuyou was angry. A beauty is a beauty. Even if she is angry, she is still so beautiful...
"Do you have to go against me?"
Why did I go against you?
Zhou Shu was confused.
Facts have proved that women don’t need to be reasonable.
"You are mine now. If I ask you to do it, you have to do it!"
Yin Wuyou said a word and turned around to leave, "Shen is scheduled to come to the Weapons Forging Department's workshop tomorrow. If you dare not show up, then just wait and see!"
She walked away angrily, leaving Zhou Shu speechless.
Doesn’t this drive the ducks to the shelves?
If you push me hard, I - I lose on purpose!
Zhou Shu thought angrily.
That is to say, he is still reluctant to leave the Weaponry Division. Otherwise, a little girl can threaten him?
Having said that, her threats don't seem to have much power.
I won’t show up, just wait and see.
Can the emperor punish me for this?
This is not the responsibility of the workshop owner.
By the way, he is not just a soldier-making apprentice now, he is the master of the workshop!
Theoretically, he doesn’t have to forge standard weapons!
Thinking of this, he whistled.
"Little girl, fight with me, you're a little too young. I won't show up tomorrow, so why not."
He didn't have time to accompany that Shen Yue sideshow. If he had that time, he might as well forge a few more Qiushui Yanling knives.
There is nothing to gain from competing with Shen Yue!
"Speaking of which, I don't know if any of the Tiger Ben Sword, Bailian Huanshou Sword, Zhanma Sword, Xiuchun Sword and Qiushui Yanling Sword can be ranked first."
A thought flashed through Zhou Shu's mind, but he immediately threw it aside.
He doesn't want to be judged and ranked. He knows how good the weapons he forges are, and he doesn't need to get recognition through other people's rankings.
"The emperor is also unreliable. If nothing else, with the Hundred Refined Ring Sword and the Saber Saber, the strength of the Great Xia National Guard Army will definitely be greatly improved. How about just taking back the Youbian and Erzhous? Do you need to make a bet?"
Zhou Shu doesn't know much about the general situation of the countries in this world. These things are just a thought. Who knows what the specific situation is?
Perhaps the National Defense Army composed of ordinary people cannot determine the outcome on the battlefield and it is uncertain.
In the past, Zhou Shu thought that as long as the number of ordinary armies was large enough, powerful warriors could be killed.
But after meeting a real master, his view was somewhat shaken.
The top powerhouse in this world is much more powerful than I thought before.
So things in the military may not be as simple as he thought.
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
Zhou Shu returned his attention to the Qiu Shui Yan Ling Sword, "Ninety-three Qiu Shui Yan Ling Swords have been cast. With seven more, the mission will be completed."
"Work harder and try to fill it up tomorrow."
After one hundred Qiushui Yanling Swords are cast, another page of the Divine Weapon Atlas can be opened.
I wonder if there will be premium weapons this time.
He has already cast a lot of standard weapons. After seeing the power of heaven-grade weapons last time, he is now looking forward to casting high-grade weapons.
Weapons, like warriors, will become a whole new world once they are purchased.
"However, the casting of high-end weapons requires a lot of external conditions such as weapon casting materials, which are very expensive. After all, the materials supplied by the Weapon Casting Department are limited, and it is impossible to open them up and let them be consumed."
Zhou Shu thought in his mind that the four heaven-grade weapons he got from Zhu Chuanfeng could be used as the starting capital for his own high-grade weapons.
"It's a pity that three pieces were lost, otherwise——"
Zhou Shu thought fiercely, "They are all that kind of national advisor! How about waiting for the Wei envoy to leave and secretly go and beat him up? A state envoy should be quite rich, right?"
"I just don't know how far my cultivation will be improved when they leave. If I can perfect the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and the Golden Bell Gong, then I can give it a try."
Zhou Shu actually thought about this problem seriously. He was not interested in competing with Shen Yue, but he was very interested in robbing the Wei mission!
