174. If the Marquis of Zhou can’t do it, then we can go back home.
"Master Marquis, we are about to enter the border of Daliang. We will pass through Daliang and walk for another ten days, and we will almost reach Hangu Pass."
Chen Ji, wearing armor all over his body and carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, rode his horse and walked beside Zhou Shu, pointing ahead.
Hearing some familiar place names, Zhou Shu was a little surprised at first.
However, he knew that although some place names were similar to those in the previous life, this world had nothing to do with the earth in the previous life. Everything was just a coincidence.
Along the way, although Zhou Shu was not very interested in political geography, what he heard with his ears and saw with his eyes gave him a better understanding of the world and the situation of the ten countries.
Daxia is located in the southeast of the mainland. To the north is the Wei Dynasty, to the south is the wild mountains, to the east is the endless sea, and to the west is the Qin Dynasty across the beam.
Da Qin is powerful, but in fact it does not pose a great threat to Da Xia. If it wants to threaten Da Qin, it must first destroy Daliang.
But Daliang is not a weak country. Da Qin cannot destroy Daliang unless it uses all its strength to fight.
The two countries bordering Daxia, Wei are mortal enemies, but their relationship with Daliang is not bad.
This is also the reason why the mission used Daliang.
If you don’t use Daliang, you have to use Dawei, which will be a lot of trouble.
"There won't be any problems with the Daliang court, right?"
Zhou Shu asked casually.
"Probably not."
Chen Jidao, "We have submitted our credentials in advance, and we only borrowed the road after Daliang agreed."
With more than 3,000 people crossing the border, of course it was impossible for them to pass quietly.
Zhou Shu could sense that there were spies watching them from a distance, which was normal.
Any other country would do this.
"Let the big guy speed up and pass the beam as soon as possible."
Zhou Shu nodded and said.
Although he had already greeted the Daliang court, Zhou Shu decided that the sooner the better. The longer he stayed in his country, the more worried he would be.
It’s better to pass as soon as possible. Anyway, the destination of this mission is Daqin.
Chen Ji also had this intention and rode his horse to direct the team to speed up.
After doing this for several days, they didn't encounter any unscrupulous people looking for trouble.
Two thousand troops armed to the teeth, who would seek death on their own?
Just when the Daxia mission was about to leave the border of Daliang and Hangu Pass was already in sight, as expected, an accident happened.
Smoke and dust were everywhere in front, and there was a slight vibration on the ground. It seemed that a large number of cavalry were galloping.
"General Chen!"
Zhou Shu raised his voice.
Not only was he aware of such a big movement, Chen Ji was also aware of it.
"The entire army is on alert!"
Chen Ji rode his horse forward and shouted loudly.
Lu Wenshuang also moved closer to Zhou Shu, with a faint edge on his body.
There was only one carriage at the end of the team. The driver was sitting steadily on the carriage. There was no movement in the white carriage, as if they didn't hear any movement at all.
Two thousand guards have formed a circle, protecting Zhou Shu and others in the center, with their blades pointed outwards, ready for battle.
As soon as they got into position, a large group of cavalry appeared in front of them.
Those cavalrymen numbered no less than a thousand, and each one of them was fully armed.
"He who comes, stop!"
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Chen Ji's hand has been raised, with the tip pointing straight ahead.
"This is the Daxia envoy. If you take one step closer, we will treat you as enemies and bear the consequences at your own risk!"
"Boom——"
Chen Ji's body erupted with strong sword intent, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was full of light, and the blade began to emit light.
"Workers, are you going to open a business?"
Zhou Shu was not nervous at all, but rather eager to try.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Chen Ji's hand was made by himself. When he kills the enemy, he can get feedback.
"Stop!"
When the cavalry on the opposite side was still some distance away from the Daxia mission, a loud shout rang out, and the cavalry team reined in their horses and stopped.
"Don't be nervous, we don't mean any harm!"
A general rode out and said loudly.
"Identify yourself!"
Chen Ji remained unmoved, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword pointed steadily forward.
"Daliang Feixiongjun, Han Dazhi."
The cavalry general on the opposite side raised his voice and raised his hand towards Chen Jigong, indicating that he had no weapons in his hand.
Chen Ji still did not put down his sword, and the guards of the Daxia Mission behind him also did not put down their weapons.
"It turns out to be General Han."
Chen Ji said, "Please forgive Chen for being rude. I wonder why General Han came here like this?"
Chen Ji's eyes were radiant and he stared at Han Dazhi without blinking.
If Han Dazhi couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would choose to attack with his entire army without hesitation, disperse the cavalry on the opposite side, and then rush to Hangu Pass as quickly as possible.
"General Chen, our Flying Bear Army is not here for your Daxia mission."
Han Dazhi cupped his hands and said, "We are coming from Hangu Pass. We have important matters to return to our capital, Daliang. Please get out of the way for now."
Chen Ji frowned and gave way to reason? Impossible!
"General Han, there are many ordinary people in our Daxia envoy, so it is inconvenient to move around. You are all cavalry, why don't we go around -"
"This is my land in Daliang, so there is no reason for us to take a detour."
Han Dazhi's face darkened and he said coldly, "General Chen, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame Han for being rude!"
He raised his right arm, and the cavalry behind him was ready to attack again.
Chen Ji snorted and gave way?
If you want to get out of the way, the formation of the mission's escort will definitely be chaotic. Once the formation is in chaos, if the opponent takes advantage of the situation and attacks, the escort will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
In this case, how could Chen Ji let him go?
"Could General Han be deliberately sabotaging our diplomatic relations between Daxia and Daliang?"
Chen Ji said coldly.
"The military situation is urgent. Anyone who obstructs our military affairs in Daliang will be killed without mercy!"
Han Dazhi shouted coldly.
"I said——"
A voice suddenly sounded, "If we had this quarrel, it would have been over long ago if you had taken a detour."
But it was Zhou Shu who spoke.
He said to Han Dazhi, "If you want to find trouble, just say so. I'm not afraid of it."
Han Dazhi's face darkened, "Who are you? You have no right to speak here!"
"Presumptuous!"
Chen Ji shouted angrily, "What you see in front of you is me, the Marquis of Daxia Youzhou, the envoy of the mission. If you dare to be rude again, Chen will kill you now!"
The sword intention soared into the sky, and Chen Ji's whole body seemed to have turned into a sword, and his momentum had locked Han Dazhi on the opposite side.
Han Dazhi didn't seem to expect that the person who spoke like this would be the envoy of the Daxia Mission, and his brows wrinkled slightly.
"I ask again, do you want to give in or not?" Han Dazhi shouted.
It's a small detour, but having to make way for people from other countries in Daliang is a big embarrassment!
"The Daxia mission is located in the territory of Daxia. The soldiers of Daxia are still here, and no inch of territory has been lost!"
Chen Ji said coldly.
With a sonorous sound, everyone in the escort army of the Daxia Mission drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the murderous aura soared into the sky, seeming to condense into shape.
This was the first time Zhou Shu saw thousands of people taking action at the same time, and he was amazed.
Thousands of knives unsheathed at the same time are already so powerful, but what about tens of thousands? What about one hundred thousand?
No wonder it is said that the National Guard Army is the cornerstone of the country.
The number of ordinary soldiers is so large that even the supreme martial arts masters have to stay away!
Zhou Shu estimated that if it were an army of more than 10,000 people, even if he encountered it, he would not be able to fight it head-on. The only way to escape would be to rely on the golden bell. Defeat an army of 10,000 people head-on, even if it is just to protect the country.
An army cannot be accomplished by one person.
Although a first-level martial artist has all kinds of supernatural powers, in the final analysis, he is still a mortal body.
Han Dazhi seemed not to have expected such a rejection from the Daxia envoy, and now he felt like he was riding a tiger.
Take a detour, it’s embarrassing, don’t take a detour, are you really going to have a fight with the Daxia envoy?
Everyone is just saying a few words to brag, how can they actually fight?
"General Han wonders if he can give Meng some face?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the Daxia mission.
The sound was not loud, and was accompanied by a few coughs.
However, Han Dazhi is an advanced martial artist with sharp ears and eyes, so he can still hear that voice.
"It seems that I have some friendship with Master Bao Bigong."
"General Meng?"
Han Dazhi's expression was slightly stunned and he blurted out.
Daxia's military god is white, but all soldiers, whether enemy or friend, are like thunder.
"How is General Bao's health lately?"
The white voice continued.
Han Dazhi seemed a little flattered and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "General Lao Meng is thinking about me. My master is in good health."
His teacher Bao Bigong could not compare with Meng Bai in terms of achievements and reputation.
Meng Bai is a famous general from ten countries, and his teacher Bao Bigong is not even the top general in Daliang.
The two of them are not on the same level at all.
Although they belong to different countries, Han Dazhi, as a soldier, is in awe when faced with an existence that is at the pinnacle of military excellence.
For a being like Meng Bai, you can hate him or be his enemy, but you can't help but respect him.
Anyone who reaches the pinnacle of a certain profession is worthy of respect, regardless of friend or foe.
"Han didn't know that General Meng was in the mission. Now that General Meng has spoken, Han will naturally give the general this face. Otherwise, the master will also punish Han."
There were steps, so Han Dazhi walked down them.
"Thank you so much, General Han."
The white voice is neither humble nor silent, like flowing water that is calm and unrippled.
"General Han, let me ask one more question, what happened at Hangu Pass? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Perhaps because Meng Bai is a legendary figure, Han Dazhi's attitude is much better than before.
"This matter also has something to do with you."
He glanced at Chen Ji, "If it weren't for the sake of General Meng, I wouldn't tell you. You dare to be so arrogant in our Daliang territory. General Meng is here today, otherwise -"<
/p>
He snorted coldly. This man must be a good talker.
Chen Ji's face was as cold as frost, but he didn't talk back.
The general has spoken. All he has to do is obey the order.
When Han Dazhi saw that Chen Ji didn't dare to talk back, a flash of pride flashed across his face, and then he said, "The Great Qin has blocked Hangu Pass, and no one is allowed to come in or out at will."
"Oh? Not even the mission?"
Meng Bai said doubtfully.
Hangu Pass is the only way to enter and leave Daqin. If you don't go there, you have to climb through the mountains. Then it is not a matter of wasting time, but a question of whether you can reach Daqin.
Now that the other nine countries have sent missions to Da Qin, what does it mean for them to close Hangu Pass at this time?
"Only the devil knows."
Han Dazhi said, "I was originally going to escort our Daliang delegation to Daqin. Daqin blocked Hangu Pass and we couldn't get through. I heard from our ambassador that Daqin set up a difficult problem at Hangu Pass. Only those who can solve it can
You are allowed to pass, otherwise, you have to go back home!"
"My ambassador sent me to the capital to pick him up, that's why we are so anxious."
Han Dazhi didn't know whether he had a city or not, and he even said such a thing.
But this is not a secret. As long as the Daxia envoy reaches Hangu Pass, they will definitely know it.
The Daliang envoy could not solve the problems that Qin had set up at Hangu Pass? So they had to return to the capital to ask for help?
They are close enough to call for help, but our capital in Daxia is too far away. Every time we come back, everything will be delayed.
"Does General Han know what difficulties Great Qin has arranged at Hangu Pass?"
Meng Bai asked.
Han Dazhi shook his head, "How could I know that? I am only responsible for protecting people, I don't care about anything else."
"General Meng, we still have military affairs to attend to, so I won't say more. I'll see you later. Say goodbye!"
Han Dazhi said, raised his hand, led the cavalry, bypassed the Daxia envoy, and rode away as fast as lightning.
It wasn't until they disappeared from sight that Chen Ji asked the escort to lift the alert.
Zhou Shu glanced at the direction where Han Dazhi and the others disappeared with some regret. If there had been a fight just now, they would have turned into leeks, right?
Zhou Shu was not worried at all that there would be any problems with the mission. Not to mention that the mission's escorts were more numerous than Han Dazhi and the others, but the two first-level masters he noticed hiding in the dark were enough to give Han Dazhi and the others a drink.
.
If they really do it, Chen Ji and Yin Chengshan, their own laborers, will definitely be able to cut a crop of leeks...
"Master Marquis, General, what should we do now?"
Chen Ji said.
"Keep going."
Zhou Shu asked, "Is it possible to go back home?"
"The Marquis is the envoy of the mission, he has the final say."
A white voice came from inside the carriage, filled with fatigue.
"No matter what difficulties Great Qin set up at Hangu Pass, they are still closely related to Zhu Bing. I think it should not be difficult for the Marquis."
Meng Bai said that Great Qin has informed all countries in advance that they will use methods related to forging soldiers to decide the location of the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise this time. No matter how it is implemented, this general principle will definitely not change.
Zhou Shu is the greatest weapon-casting genius in Great Xia, and together with Shi Songtao and other weapon-casting masters, if they cannot solve the problem that Qin has set up at Hangu Pass, then even if they return to Chang'an City to ask for help, it will be of no use. p>
If that's true, then their mission can go home directly.
