174. If Zhou Houye can't do it, then we can go back to the hometown (monthly pass)
If Meng Bai said it, Zhou Shu would just treat it as business talk.
He has never said what he must do on this mission or what goals he must achieve.
As the number one weapon master of Great Xia, Zhou Shu is not the kind of person who gets dizzy after just a few words of praise.
He won’t do anything that’s not beneficial.
After Han Dazhi's incident, the Daxia delegation moved faster, and it took them less than a day to arrive outside Hangu Pass.
The so-called Hangu Pass is actually a canyon.
The canyon is hundreds of miles wide and hundreds of miles long, with towering cliffs on both sides. The wonder of nature is astonishing.
When the Daxia delegation arrived outside Hangu Pass, many people were already camping here.
Shi Songtao was well-informed and gave Zhou Shu a brief introduction.
There are the envoys from Daliang and the envoys from Daxia’s archrival Wei. In addition, there are also envoys from three other countries.
The envoys from most of the ten mainland countries have arrived.
Zhou Shu also saw what Han Dazhi meant by blocking Hangu Pass.
At the entrance to Hangu Pass, there were Qin soldiers wearing black armor guarding them, so densely packed that it was difficult to see the end of them.
The entrance to Hangu Pass was originally so wide, but now the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are guarding it. One man is guarding the pass and ten thousand others are not allowed to open it.
If the missions from various countries want to go there, they must get permission from the other party.
"Deputy Ambassador Shi, go and ask how you can get there."
Zhou Shu is already somewhat comfortable as a leader now. It's very simple. He can let others do it and never do it himself. Just treat himself as a waste...
Shi Songtao didn't refuse. He was used to it now. Many times he had the illusion that he was the leader of the mission.
He does everything!
Shi Songtao took two officials from the Ministry of Rites to communicate with Da Qin, while Zhou Shu curiously looked at the missions from other countries.
His eyes fell on the camp of the Wei envoy intentionally or unintentionally.
While he was observing the Wei camp, suddenly a man walked out of the Chinese army tent.
When he saw that person, Zhou Shu's pupils suddenly shrank.
His body was stretched straight while sitting on the horse.
Lu Wenshuang noticed his body reaction and thought there was an enemy. He raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword exposed on his shoulder. His whole body instantly turned into a sharp sword.
The next moment, a look of confusion appeared on her face. She didn't realize there was another enemy nearby.
Following Zhou Shu's gaze, he happened to see a slender young man in white clothes in Wei's camp, smiling and nodding in their direction.
"Do you know him?"
Lu Wenshuang said.
Zhou Shu glanced at her, Lu Wenshuang was not a talkative person, she said no more than ten sentences along the way!
"Shen Yue!"
Zhou Shu frowned and said, "He once served as the deputy envoy of the Wei Dynasty to Daxia. I have met him several times!"
Zhou Shu's tone was very calm, but there was already a storm in his heart.
Shen Yue!
It’s Shen Yue!
He remembered that after the Youzhou incident, Yang Hong once told him that their Shen Yue had met Shen Yue after they chased the Wei mission.
At that time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that what the Chief Inspector saw was someone pretending to be him.
After all, there is also the art of disguise in this world, and Yang Hong and others are not very familiar with Shen Yue, so it is not difficult to hide it from them.
Now it seems that Yang Hong and the others have indeed met Shen Yue!
Zhou Shu never thought that he would see Shen Yue again!
At the beginning, Shen Yue had indeed died under his giant sword. Even the map of the divine weapon gave feedback. How could he not have died?
If Shen Yue was not the one who died under his sword at that time, then who was it?
Although they were far apart, Zhou Shu was sure that the man in the camp of the Wei envoy was indeed Shen Yue, the one who had once competed with him in casting soldiers!
But there was no problem with the breath of the Shen Yue he killed at that time. He was very sure at that time that that person was Shen Yue!
Two Shen Yue?
"Deputy Envoy Lu, is there any way to resurrect the dead in this world?"
Zhou Shu asked in a deep voice.
"No."
Lu Wenshuang said coldly.
There is no way to resurrect the dead, so what is going on now?
Even if Shen Yue has a twin brother, their auras cannot be exactly the same.
If there is a way to resurrect the dead in this world, but Lu Wenshuang doesn’t know about it, it’s unlikely.
Lu Wenshuang is not an ordinary person. She is the eldest daughter of the Lu family in Qingzhou and the number one martial arts genius in Daxia. If there is a way to resurrect the dead, it is impossible for her not to know about it.
Shen Yue, who was in the Wei army camp, cupped his hands towards Zhou Shugong from a distance, as if he was reunited with an old friend.
Zhou Shu's face became a little ugly.
If this Shen Yue really comes back from the dead, will his secret be lost?
After Shen Yue handed over to Zhou Shu, he walked into another tent with leisurely steps. From the beginning to the end, his attitude seemed very friendly and not threatening at all.
Zhou Shu frowned and thought for a moment, then came to the white carriage with a stern expression.
"General, I have something I want to talk to you about!"
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
"Come up."
A white voice came.
The coachman who had always been on the carriage stepped aside, Zhou Shu jumped onto the carriage, and before getting into the carriage, he turned around and said to Lu Wenshuang.
"Keep your surroundings safe and don't let anyone get close to you!"
Lu Wenshuang nodded and agreed.
Zhou Shu got into the carriage and closed the curtain again.
Meng Bai was wrapped in a blanket and looked at Zhou Shu strangely.
"Have you asked clearly about Da Qin's settings?"
Meng Bai opened his mouth and said.
"Deputy Ambassador Shi went to inquire about it."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "General, I have a very important matter now. Is it convenient here?"
"Just say it."
Meng Bai said, "My carriage is specially built and has good sound insulation."
Zhou Shu nodded, lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice, "General, I saw Shen Yue!"
"Shen Yue?"
Meng Bai was a little confused.
"Son of the Minister of War of the Great Wei Dynasty, Shen Yue!"
"I know he is the son of the Minister of War in the Wei Dynasty."
Meng Bai said, "Where is his mission in Wei this time?"
Meng Bai knew the Minister of War of the Wei Dynasty very well, and he had been involved with Mi Ziwen before, so he naturally knew that the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Wei Dynasty also had a son named Shen Yue.
"General, do you know that I was kidnapped by the Great Wei State Master once before?"
Zhou Shudao.
Meng Bai nodded, and his eyes naturally fell on the giant sword behind Zhou Shu.
"I saw with my own eyes that Shen Yue was killed by the giant sword."
Zhou Shu said with a serious expression.
"Are you sure?"
Mengbai's expression also became solemn.
"OK!"
Zhou Shu said righteously.
"I want to know if there is a way to resurrect the dead in this world!"
Zhou Shu asked again.
He now wants to find out what is going on with Shen Yue!
If he really came back from the dead, has his secret been exposed?
Should we kill him again?
"Resurrection from the dead is unheard of."
Meng Bai's face showed a thoughtful look, and he shook his head.
He had never heard of the art of resurrection from the dead.
Lu Wenshuang has never heard of it, and neither has Meng Bai. Is there really no way to resurrect the dead in this world?
Zhou Shu frowned. He had already started planning in his mind to kill Shen Yue again!
The top priority now is to determine first, if Shen Yue really comes back from the dead, does he remember that he killed him?
If he reveals his secret, how should he respond?
"Don't be anxious about this in advance."
Meng Bai pondered, "Whether Shen Yue has come back from the dead or not, this probably didn't happen recently."
"The Wei Dynasty did not challenge our Daxia before, which shows that even if Shen Yue comes back from the dead, there will still be big problems."
"To take a step back, the person who killed Shen Yue was the mysterious master. No one can be sure whether that mysterious master is from our Daxia. Even if they want to find someone to take revenge, they can't find someone to kill us in Daxia." ."
Meng Bai said.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes in his heart, Shen Yue couldn't take revenge on Da Xia, he would take revenge on me.
If Shen Yue comes back from the dead and still remembers how he died, then he must remember who killed him.
In this case, isn't it obvious who Shen Yue will seek revenge on?
"I will find a way to investigate this matter. You don't have to worry about him now."
Meng Bai continued, "You just have to do your job as an envoy. This time, even if Xiao Shunzhi takes action himself, there is no way he can kidnap you."
Zhou Shu has a dark streak. Is he worried that the Wei Dynasty will kidnap him?
It would be better if they really kidnapped him, he would kill them again.
But having said that, Shen Yue came back from the dead, wouldn't Xiao Shunzhi also come back to life?
Zhou Shu suddenly remembered that the news of the death of Xiao Shunzhi, the great master of the Wei Dynasty, had never spread.
Moreover, it seems that Daxia did not collect Xiao Shunzhi’s body at the beginning.
Back in Youzhou, after he beheaded Xiao Shunzhi, he was busy rescuing people, and he didn't think about destroying the corpse afterwards.
Thinking about it now, I was indeed a little hasty at the time.
"Something's wrong."
Zhou Shu thought to himself.
He remembered that after Xiao Shun's death, his blood-drinking sword was still left at the scene, but he didn't hear that Daxia got the blood-drinking sword afterwards.
A heavenly weapon, if Daxia really got it, how could he hear any news about it?
Is it possible that Xiao Shunzhi is not dead?
No, it’s impossible not to die. At that time, the map of the divine weapons gave feedback.
He may have come back from the dead!
What secret did Wei hide that could actually bring people back to life!
If they really mastered such means, wouldn't they be invincible?
Does this method have something to do with the merger of two states at that time?
Zhou Shu thought that it was a bit strange that the Wei Dynasty suddenly used tricks to defeat the two states of You and the Xia Dynasty.
If Zhou Shu hadn't unraveled the fog of Youzhou by mistake and merged the two states, I'm afraid no one would be able to come out now.
Zhou Shu frowned and thought, and Shi Songtao's voice came from outside.
"Master Hou, General, I have already asked clearly about the checkpoints set by Da Qin."
"Okay, don't think about Shen Yue for now, let's deal with the mission first."
Meng Bai patted Zhou Shu on the shoulder and said.
Zhou Shu nodded in response, opened the car curtain and said to the outside.
"How do they want to play?"
Shi Songtao's face turned dark. Is this a joke?
"Great Qin has said that they have set up a total of nine checkpoints from Hangu Pass to the capital of Great Qin. If diplomatic missions from various countries want to reach the capital of Great Qin, they need to clear the barriers all the way."
"Those who can reach the capital of Great Qin are qualified to compete for the venue of the final Ten Kingdoms martial arts performance, otherwise, they will be eliminated."
"According to their rules, there can only be a maximum of nine people in each country's envoys who can pass through the pass. Others can wait outside Hangu Pass, or they can go to the Great Qin Capital to wait."
Shi Songtao briefly explained the mechanism he had learned about.
Zhou Shu and Meng Bai both frowned.
The mission will be divided into two parts?
A maximum of nine people can go through the level, and the rest cannot go together?
Doesn’t that mean that people who break through the barrier can’t even take guards with them?
What if there is danger during the process?
"Crossing the barrier is voluntary, life and death are at your own risk."
Shi Songtao continued.
Meng Bai frowned slightly, Zhou Shu's significance to Da Xia was extraordinary. If he only sent Da Qin as an envoy, the danger would be completely controllable.
But if we separate, the danger will be completely uncontrollable.
If something unexpected happened to Zhou Shu, Daxia would be qualified to hold the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise, but the gain would not be worth the loss.
Regardless of his old age, Meng Bai wanted to go with the envoys, the purpose was to ensure that nothing unexpected happened to Zhou Shu.
If necessary, he even decided to use himself as bait to ensure Zhou Shu's safety.
The Great Xia Army God is white, enough to attract all the firepower.
As long as he shows up, the enemy will probably focus on him, and then the chance of Zhou Shu escaping will be greatly increased.
But now Da Qin has played this trick and directly disrupted all his plans.
Nine people are going to break through the level, and among them there must be a weapon-casting division. After all, the setting of the level is all related to the weapon-casting division.
In this way, how many guards can be placed among the nine people?
And in this case, it is impossible for Daxia to send a first-level martial arts to protect Zhou Shu and the others.
A first-level martial artist to protect a weapon-smith? Isn’t it important to tell the enemy Zhou Shu?
The enemy still has to find ways to kill him?
For a moment, Meng Bai hesitated. Should he continue to move forward, or should he give up now and go home directly?
"Did they say what these nine levels are about?"
Meng Bai was thinking and heard Zhou Shu ask.
"I don't know the rest yet, but the first level is to identify the materials used to make weapons."
Shi Songtao said, "The Qin Dynasty has set up a military camp in Hangu Pass. There are various materials for making soldiers in the military camp. The first thing to do is to select some materials for making soldiers and take them with you on the road." p>
"The materials selected for casting soldiers in this first level are the basis for the following levels. There will be no chance to replenish the materials later. If you need to build soldiers at that time, you can only use the materials selected in the first level."
"I think that in this level, we must choose as many materials as possible to build soldiers and take them with us on the road. Otherwise, when we need to build soldiers later, we will be in trouble if there are not enough materials."
