Shi Songtao looked at Zhou Shu warily and moved his body back involuntarily.
He remembered that Zhou Shu had just pulled out a piece of his hair.
Doesn’t Lord Zhou have any special hobbies?
Shi Songtao's body moved outward again.
You must keep your distance from this prince from now on!
I said why he looks at me so weird now!
Zhou Shu didn't notice Shi Songtao's little movements. He looked at Shi Songtao with strange eyes. That was because when he first saw Shi Songtao, he had a confused feeling that he was looking at himself.
This Zhuang Zhou Mengdie mentality must not be used indiscriminately.
If you use it too much, will you become a pervert?
Zhou Shu cursed secretly in his heart.
"It works for me, just tell me if you can do anything."
Zhou Shu said, "This matter is related to whether we can achieve a complete victory on this mission. If you can get it, I will give you a great credit later!"
Shi Songtao frowned. Can one hair affect whether our mission can be a complete victory?
Do you think I am a three-year-old child?
I believed your ghost!
Suddenly, the expression on his face froze, his eyes looked at Zhou Shu with some horror, and his body moved outward again.
"Master Hou, you don't know the kind of witchcraft that can control people, do you?"
According to legend, there is a mysterious witchcraft that can impose curses on people through their skin, hair, essence, and blood, making them obey orders.
Shi Songtao felt numb all over when he thought that Zhou Shu had pulled out a piece of his hair before, and he wished he could get further and further away from Zhou Shu.
"Master Hou, I didn't offend you either."
Shi Songtao shouted.
Although he had a little conflict with Zhou Shu at first, they didn't break out.
And since then, he has never caused trouble to Zhou Shu. Moreover, since joining the mission, he has been working hard without complaint...
Without him, how could Zhou Shu be so leisurely?
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes and incarnated as Shi Songtao in his dream for a year. He knew Shi Songtao very well and could tell what he was thinking at a glance!
"What are you thinking? I don't understand those things. Even if I understand, what value do you think you have enough for me to perform magic on you?"
Zhou Shu said, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you can do it."
"Can't!"
Shi Songtao said categorically.
"If you can't, get out of here!"
Zhou Shu said angrily that he didn't have a good impression of this guy who seemed serious but played every night in Chang'an.
Shi Songtao walked out with a dark face. Why are you pulling? Isn't it because he is a little more handsome than me, his weapon-making skills are a little better than mine, and his martial arts talent is a little better than mine?
What's there?
Without you, I, Shi Songtao, would be the protagonist template!
Shi Songtao murmured that this man, who came from a noble family and was once the number one soldier-making genius in Great Xia, seemed to have been reduced to a laborer, handling various chores of the mission conscientiously every day...
Zhou Shu sent Shi Songtao away and took a look back at his tent. Yin Wuyou hadn't woken up yet, lying on the couch, sleeping there like a sleeping beauty.
Lu Wenshuang no longer guards her, but returns to act as a bodyguard behind Zhou Shu.
After confirming that Yin Wuyou's life was no longer in danger, she naturally remembered her responsibilities.
Seeing Yin Wuyou's peaceful sleeping face, Zhou Shu finally got out of that dream.
This is reality, I am Zhou Shu!
How can that guy Shi Songtao compare with me?
Are the vulgar fans around him worthy of being compared with my big Sikong?
Walking out of the camp, Zhou Shu came to Mengbai's camp again.
When Zhou Shu walked into Meng Bai's tent, Meng Bai's legs were covered with a blanket and he was reading a book.
Seeing Zhou Shu come in, he put the scroll on his knees and said, "Youzhou Marquis, do you want to see me for anything?"
Among this envoy, in terms of status, apart from Yin Wuyou, Meng Bai is the one with the highest status. Although he has resigned as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Great Xia, he still has the title of Duke, which is higher than that of Zhou Shu.
The title is even higher.
But Meng Bai took his position very seriously. He never showed up in public in his free time among the envoys.
Even with regard to the mission, he almost never interferes.
Most of the time, Meng Bai stayed there without any sense of existence. Occasionally, when Zhou Shu came to ask his opinion, it was not a big deal, and he basically would not interfere with the decisions of Zhou Shu and others.
"General, do you have any acquaintances in Da Qin?"
After seeing the ceremony, Zhou Shu sat down opposite Meng Bai and asked straight to the point.
"Da Qin?"
Meng Bai was a little confused and said, "What do you want to do, Marquis Youzhou?"
"I do have some acquaintances in Daqin, but if you want to find out about the nine levels this time, then don't waste your energy."
"Great Qin is the most united country among the ten countries. It is difficult to get information from their people."
"Can't you find out? How about I talk to them?"
Facing Meng Bai, Zhou Shu did not directly ask for his hair.
If he could see the senior officials of Da Qin through Meng Bai, then Zhou Shu could do it himself.
In fact, if he were not still outside Hangu Pass, if he had arrived in the capital of Da Qin, it would be easy for Zhou Shu to get the hair of Da Qin's senior officials.
But now here, there are not many senior officials of Da Qin at all. The only one may be the general guarding the gate.
Speaking of guarding, it is actually not appropriate.
In fact, Da Qin never said that they would not allow the envoys of the ten countries to enter Hangu Pass. They only set up a checkpoint so that the nine countries could pass through the pass voluntarily.
If you don’t want to go through the barrier, that’s fine.
But that would be equivalent to giving up the right to host the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise.
Of course, even if you don't pass the test, you can still participate in the Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts Exercise, but you just can't participate as the host.
Because of this, the Great Qin army currently stationed at Hangu Pass is not the true elite of Great Qin, and its generals are not necessarily high-level leaders of Great Qin.
He may not even know the specific content of the Nine Levels. Even if Zhou Shu gets the general's hair, what's the use?
Meng Bai's identity is different. He must be an absolute high-ranking person in the Qin military.
Only such a person can have access to the true secrets of Da Qin.
"If you inquire about the information, you will definitely not be able to find out the information."
Meng Bai shook his head, "But when we get to the capital of Great Qin, I can introduce a few people to Youzhou Hou to get to know you."
By the time we reach the capital of Great Qin, it will be too late!
"General, you are the military god of our Daxia. When you arrive at Hangu Pass, Daqin doesn't know how to send someone with enough weight to greet you?"
Zhou Shu said.
Meng Bai burst into laughter, "I am already old and weak. Besides, I am not a formal member of the mission. Why does Da Qin want to welcome me?"
"Marquis Youzhou, what exactly do you want to do? You might as well tell me. Maybe I can think of a way."
Meng Bai said.
Zhou Shu went around in circles, and Meng Bai was not stupid, so of course he knew what Zhou Shu had planned.
"Let's do this."
Zhou Shu scratched his head. He must not tell Zhuang Zhou about Mengdie's mental state. It would be too shocking.
I can only think of other ways.
"General, you know I have a senior brother, right?"
In desperation, Zhou Shu could only sacrifice his unfounded invincible senior brother.
"Oh?"
Meng Bai nodded and signaled Zhou Shu to continue.
Of course, Meng Bai knew that the senior brother Zhou Shu mentioned was the fierce man who cut off Xiao Shun's arm.
Of course, Zhou Shu's words were ignored by both Yuan Feng Emperor and Meng Bai.
As for whether they took it seriously, it is unknown.
"My senior brother told me that what Da Qin did this time is a bit weird, and there may be a big problem in it."
Zhou Shu said, "So I was wondering if I could meet with the insider. Even if I can't find out the specific information, I might be able to make some insinuations."
"Your senior brother told you that there is a problem in Da Qin?"
Meng Bai pondered and said, leaving aside whether the senior brother's incident was true or false, he felt that Zhou Shu should not be joking.
In fact, Meng Bai also felt that Da Qin's approach was a bit strange.
If you want to let other countries compete in the art of forging weapons, then when you get to the capital of Qin, you can compete however you want.
Why should we start from Hangu Pass and what level should we set?
However, Da Qin has always been very strict about information control, and even though it was unclear, it didn't get much valuable information.
"You don't have to worry about what tricks Da Qin will use."
Meng Bai pondered, "No matter what barriers they set up, it will not affect the holding of the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise. They dare not."
"General, what else can't be said about these ten countries' military exercises?"
Zhou Shu wondered, wondering why Meng Bai said Da Qin didn’t dare.
"It's hard to explain in words. You will know it later."
Meng Bai shook his head and said, "You don't have to think too much about Da Qin's affairs. As for whether you can get the right to host the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise, just let it happen. Don't force it."
After walking out of Mengbai's tent, Zhou Shu looked in the direction of Hangu Pass.
Mengbai can't get what he wants here, so he can only try the Great Qin guard at Hangu Pass.
Although both Meng Bai and Emperor Yuan Feng asked whether the Ten Kingdoms Military Performance could be held in Daxia, Zhou Shu felt that since he was ready to take action, how embarrassing would it be if he lost?
Now that he is here, there will be no second outcome.
He has never lost when making soldiers.
Now there are Qin's troops at Hangu Pass, as well as envoys from various countries.
Even with Zhou Shu's cultivation, he would not dare to forcefully attack the guarding generals of Qin.
But it seems that there is no need to force action, after all, he only needs a hair of the other party.
……
"Are you the official envoy of the Daxia Mission? Have you decided on the candidate?"
Zhou Shu came to Hangu Pass and showed his identity to the Qin defenders. Soon a man dressed as a general came to him and spoke directly.
The general thought it was the Daxia envoy who had confirmed it
"The candidates are still being discussed."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I'm here because I have something to ask the general."
"Have I not explained the rules to you clearly?"
The general said impatiently.
"It's very simple. Each of your countries will send nine people to pass the test. The others can go to the capital of Qin to wait first. Those who succeed in passing the test will be eligible to compete for the right to host the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise. Those who fail will lose the right to compete." "The general misunderstood."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "I'm not here to ask about the rules of entry."
"I just want to ask, General, do you know the specific content of these nine levels?"
"I know, but I won't tell you."
The general said, "Only when you pass one level can you know the content of the next level."
"It's good that the general knows."
Zhou Shu said, he suddenly reached out and patted the general on the shoulder.
When he stretched out his hand, the general had already noticed it and subconsciously tried to avoid it.
But Zhou Shu's seemingly slow movement landed on his shoulder with such accuracy that he couldn't avoid it at all!
After patting the general on the shoulder, Zhou Shu turned around and walked away. The general still didn't react.
It wasn't until Zhou Shu was far away that the general came back to his senses.
He shook his head, his expression a little confused, and he couldn't figure out why he didn't avoid it.
Maybe it's because the other party is not hostile.
After all, the Daxia envoy is only at the seventh level of martial arts, and he himself is already at the fourth level of martial arts. How could he not be able to avoid the opponent's moves?
The general shook his head, thought no more, and turned back to the military camp.
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Wenshuang, who had been following Zhou Shu, suddenly spoke.
When Zhou Shu patted the general's shoulder, he conveniently pulled a hair from the general's head. The general did not notice it, but Lu Wenshuang could see it clearly.
"I said I was going to go back to sleep, do you believe it?"
Zhou Shu did not explain and said with a smile.
It’s easy to get the hair of General Qin, but I don’t know what his status is in Qin and how many secrets he knows.
Lu Wenshuang frowned slightly. She watched Zhou Shu sneak into a tent casually. After a while, snoring sounded.
"He is still practicing while sleeping?"
Seeing the faint white light glowing on Zhou Shu's body, Lu Wenshuang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he even forgot about Zhou Shu's doubts about how to pull off people's hair.
Along the way, she has always been with Zhou Shu, and she has never seen Zhou Shu work so hard before.
Could it be that he saw that he was about to break through the barrier and wanted to sharpen his gun before the battle?
Lu Wenshuang didn't think about it in other directions. In this world, there are also exercises that can be practiced while sleeping. In her opinion, there is nothing particularly surprising about Zhou Shu's behavior.
"He works so hard as a weapon maker, so why should I not work hard to practice?"
Lu Wenshuang thought to herself, she found a place, sat down cross-legged, and quickly entered the state of practicing.
Zhou Shu, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly transformed into a general wearing black armor in his dream. His name was Wang Xin, and he was the grandson of General Wang Mu of the Qin Dynasty!
The General of Da Qin is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Da Xia.
Wang Mu is to Da Qin what Meng Bai is to Da Xia!
His grandson, even if his current position is not high, can definitely have access to the core secrets of Da Qin!
I originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary border guard, but I didn’t expect that he had such an identity!
A thought flashed through Zhou Shu's remaining self-awareness.
