198, I am the first rank, the Qin army cannot keep me
"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?"
At the inn where the Daxia mission was located, Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xu City.
At dawn, before Zhou Shu had time to go to the Qin Palace, Xu Shi rushed over to visit.
Behind Zhou Shu, to the left and right, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang exuded fierce momentum at the same time, locking Xu City.
The two of them were like two unsheathed swords that could be struck out at any time.
Xu Shi didn't seem to notice the change in the atmosphere. With his usual smile on his face, he said, "Master Zhou, there is no need to misunderstand. Xu came here just to discuss a deal with Lord Zhou." p>
"Whatever the Marquis of Zhou wants, whether it is gold and silver treasures, high officials and generous salaries, or beautiful women, as long as the Marquis wants it, as long as I, Da Qin, have it, we can discuss it."
"Master Xu, if I refuse, will it mean that I will never leave Daqin?"
Zhou Shu said coldly.
"Of course not."
Xu Shi shook his head, "I said, this is just a deal. I, Da Qin, am not a person who takes advantage of others by taking advantage of others."
"If it hadn't been for a reason, Xu wouldn't have wanted to be this evil person."
Xu Shi showed a bitter smile on his face, looking like he had no choice but to do so.
Zhou Shu was unmoved and said coldly, "In that case, I refuse!"
"Master Zhou, you can think about it again."
Xu Shi said, "We just want the training method of making iron hands. This in itself has no loss to you, Lord Zhou, and if I, Da Qin, can pay the price, you will definitely be satisfied, Lord Zhou."
"I have nothing to lose?"
Zhou Shu laughed and said, "Then if I say that I want your Eight Desolate Fire God Skills, what do you think?"
Although Zhou Shu is not the kind of person who keeps his skills to himself, he will not easily teach his skills to outsiders.
"No problem."
Xu Shi said simply, "I don't have any problem exchanging the Bahuang Fire God Skill for the Iron Hand."
Zhou Shu laughed angrily.
The Bahuang Fire God Technique has a great reputation and is quite powerful, but when it comes to it, it is not as powerful as the Iron Smelting Hand.
It's hard for him to think of exchanging the Eight Desolate Fire Divine Skills for the Iron Smelting Hand.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, no more nonsense."
Zhou Shu said, "I will not sell the iron-making hand."
"By the way, the host for the Ten Kingdoms Military Performance has been decided, and it's time for us to return to Daxia. I was originally planning to say goodbye to Emperor Qin, but since Mr. Xu is here, please tell Mr. Xu."
Zhou Shu added.
Xu Shi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but they returned to normal immediately.
He looked at Zhou Shu and said, "Master Zhou, are you leaving?"
"No way?"
Zhou Shu asked rhetorically.
"Of course it's not impossible, but it's just that the Marquis helped me, Da Qin, during the previous monster chaos, and His Majesty has not expressed his gratitude yet——"
"I've already expressed it."
Zhou Shu said, "The gold and silver jewelry before were enough."
"Well, now that the Marquis has made up his mind, I will report back to Your Majesty."
Xu Shi muttered, "When His Majesty issues the credentials, you can return to Daxia."
"Master Hou, although I know you may not like to hear what I say, I still want to say something."
Before Xu Shi left, he said again, "I hope you will consider it, Lord Marquis, about the iron hand. As long as you are willing, Lord Marquis, you can do whatever you want."
"Asshole!"
After Xu Shi left, Yin Wuyou struck the air several times with the Shadow Sword in an aura of awe.
"It's so shameless! He actually plotted other people's cultivation methods. I have never seen such a shameless emperor!"
Yin Wuyou cursed.
She doesn't know how to curse at all, and she keeps saying it over and over again, which means she is a bastard and shameless.
If it were Zhou Shu, he would be able to scold him in different ways and not do the same thing for a month.
Zhou Shu was actually a little surprised. He had thought that Great Qin might prevent the Daxia delegation from leaving, but he never expected that Great Qin would want to replace his iron-smelting hand!
Zhou Shu has been hiding his strength because he is worried that if his strength is exposed, some people will doubt why he has such strength. At that time, I am afraid that some people will doubt that his cultivation method can quickly improve his strength.
And this has always been the source of trouble.
When the time comes, I don’t know how many people will come looking for his secrets.
What he didn't expect was that in Daxia, he had not attracted much attention, but in Daqin, he only showed his iron-smelting skills and attracted covetous attention.
However, Zhou Shu did not regret showing his iron-smelting skills in public.
With his current strength, he is not afraid of anyone coveting him at all, but it is just a little more troublesome.
If Da Qin really doesn't give up, Zhou Shu doesn't mind letting them know that Lord Ma has three eyes, and some people are beyond their control.
"Do you want me to kill him?"
Lu Wenshuang said coldly.
Practicing Kung Fu is the foundation of a warrior.
Trying to steal other people’s cultivation techniques is an unrelenting hatred!
Zhou Shu shook his head, are you going to kill him?
If you really go there, it’s not certain who will kill whom.
"Don't worry about him."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "If you want to come to Great Qin, you won't be so shameless as to rob it."
"It goes according to plan. Everyone, be ready. Once we get Emperor Qin's credentials, we will return to Daxia immediately."
"Master Hou."
After telling Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang to leave, Zhou Shu prepared to go to Meng Bai to discuss it again.
Meng Bai's idea was to let him and Yin Wuyou leave first. Now that Zhou Shu wanted to take everyone in the mission away, he had to tell Meng Bai.
Just halfway through, he was stopped by Shi Songtao.
"Han Dazhi asks for a meeting."
Shi Songtao told Zhou Shu.
"Han Dazhi?"
Zhou Shu asked in confusion, "What is he here for?"
"I don't know."
Shi Songtao shook his head.
Zhou Shu thought for a while and decided that it would not be too late to meet Han Dazhi first and then go to Meng Bai.
When Zhou Shu came to the front hall, he saw Han Dazhi sitting there uneasily. At his feet was a huge box half as tall as a man.
"General Han, what are you doing?"
Zhou Shu said.
"Master Hou!"
Han Dazhi stood up and saluted quickly.
"This is a reward from Da Qin to our Daliang envoy. I brought them all."
Han Dazhi got straight to the point, pointed at the box and said.
"We didn't do anything about what happened yesterday. These things are very hot to hold."
Han Dazhidao.
"You are considered self-aware."
Shi Songtao said from the side.
"General Han, what do you mean?"
Zhou Shu glared at Shi Songtao and said.
"We just followed you, Lord Marquis, and took advantage. Of course, these rewards should belong to you, Lord Marquis."
"Master Marquis, please take inventory. We haven't touched any of these things."
Han Dazhi said.
"General Han, what are you talking about? These were given to you by Da Qin from Daliang. What will happen if I accept them?"
"It's given to you, just take it. Da Qin has money anyway."
"No, Mr. Hou——"
Han Dazhi said anxiously.
"General Han, I understand that our Daxia and you, Daliang, are allies, and it is our duty to help each other. Could it be that when we encounter danger, you, Daliang, will just stand by and watch?"
"Of course not." Han Dazhi said, patting his chest.
"Then it's over."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "You can accept these things with peace of mind."
"By the way, I just have something to ask General Han for help."
"What's the matter?" Han Dazhi said, "As long as I can do it, the Marquis may give you orders. If I say no, it means that I, Han Dazhi, have not grown eggs!"
"It's like this. The matter here has been resolved. We are about to return to Daxia. When we return to Daxia, we have to pass by Daliang. I was thinking, do you want to go together? We can also have someone to take care of us on the way."<
/p>
Zhou Shu said.
"Of course there is no problem."
Han Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small thing.
Daxia is taking care of them. If you go with the Daxia envoy, you don’t have to worry about any accidents on the way.
The strength of the Daxia mission is much stronger than that of Daliang.
"When I get back, I will ask our ambassador to bid farewell to Emperor Qin and return with you, Lord Marquis."
Han Dazhi patted his chest and promised.
After some refusal, Han Dazhi finally took the box he brought back.
Shi Songtao smacked his lips with some regret, that box contained a lot of money.
Although he is not poor, who would object to having too much money?
Take advantage of those guys from Daliang!
"Master Hou, why should we go with the people from Daliang?"
Shi Songtao asked puzzledly.
The people in Daliang are not very strong, but they are good at picking up bargains.
Going with them, wouldn’t it be like adding a bunch of burdens?
"With one more country's envoys, even if Great Qin wants to do something, it has to think about it."
Zhou Shu explained that if he offends two countries at the same time, even if he is as powerful as Da Qin, he still has to think twice.
"Do you think that Da Qin will be concerned about the existence of the Daliang mission and restrain itself?"
In Meng Bai's room, after hearing Zhou Shu's idea, Meng Bai shook his head and said, "No."
"You don't understand Emperor Qin. If he wants to do something, he will not change his mind easily. Even if he is an enemy of the world, he will not care."
"Da Qin actually wants to change your cultivation method, which is a bit troublesome."
Meng Bai's face became a little solemn and he said in a deep voice.
If it were just Da Qin's own accident, even if Zhou Shu wanted to take everyone in the Da Xia delegation to leave together, although it would be a little more difficult, it would not be impossible.
But now that Da Qin has become interested in his cultivation method, it will not be that easy for him to leave again.
Meng Bai was sighing in his heart now. Your Majesty was a little hasty in letting Zhou Shu come as envoy to Da Qin.
But having said that, no one could have expected that there would be so many changes after arriving in Da Qin.
Under normal circumstances, this mission should not pose too much risk.
Otherwise, Mengbai himself would have strongly opposed it.
He also felt at the time that this trip was an excellent experience for Zhou Shu. Talents also need to be tempered to grow.
And he thought that his presence would be enough to ensure that Zhou Shu returned to Daxia safely and without worries.
"General, do you think that if I don't agree to the exchange of skills, Emperor Qin will send people to rob him?"
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
"With Emperor Qin's personality, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Meng Bai frowned and said, "Emperor Qin only focuses on the results and does not care about the process. Rules cannot restrict him."
Emperor Qin's style can be seen from the previous decision of the Ten Kingdoms to conduct military exercises.
Prior to this, the decision to host the Ten-Nation Martial Arts Exercise had always been based on established rules.
But it happened that Da Qin made a breakthrough this time. Even if other countries objected, Emperor Qin did not compromise.
"Is it possible that he still dares to attack the Daxia envoy blatantly?"
Zhou Shu said.
The two countries were at war and did not kill the envoys. Even when the Wei envoy was sent to Daxia, Daxia did not do anything to the Wei envoy.
Xiao Shunzhi and Shen Yue were not moved by the Great Xia court.
"This is Daqin. Even if they don't know how to do it, it won't be easy for them to do something?"
Meng Bai said.
This also makes sense. Isn’t this how Zhou Shu treated the Wei envoys?
The Daxia mission was really attacked in Daqin. Daqin only needs to show that it will strictly pursue the murderer, and even directly introduce a few scapegoats. What can Daxia do?
Even if Zhou Shu brought the Daliang envoy together, as long as Emperor Qin wanted to take action, the result would be the same.
"General, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
He himself is not afraid. Even if he falls out with Emperor Qin now, he will still be sure to fight his way out of the Qin capital.
However, there are more than 2,000 Daxia envoys. If Emperor Qin takes action, the entire army of these 2,000 people will probably be wiped out here.
Meng Bai looked at Zhou Shu and fell into deep thought.
The best way is to ask Zhou Shu to hand over his iron-smelting hand to Da Qin.
But that can’t be done.
First of all, the iron-smelting hand was Zhou Shu's personal property. Meng Bai had no power to ask him to hand it over, and even Emperor Yuan Feng did not have this power.
Secondly, it is not a good thing to show weakness in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
But listening to Zhou Shu's description, Da Qin seemed to be determined to win the iron smelting hand, and even asked Zhou Shu to make a casual price, which shows how determined they are.
With Emperor Qin's style, he wanted to do something and would never give up until he achieved his goal. Even if he used any means, he didn't care.
If Zhou Shu refuses the transaction, then it is conceivable that it will be almost impossible for them to return to Daxia safely.
"The iron-smelting hand must not be handed over like this."
Meng Bai pondered, "If I guess correctly, Da Qin will issue credentials and agree to let us leave."
"At least they won't take action until they leave the capital of Great Qin. This is our opportunity."
"After leaving Da Qin's capital, I will find a way to attract Da Qin's attention while you leave secretly——"
"No."
Zhou Shu directly denied it, wouldn’t that be a return to the original plan?
If Meng Bai is allowed to lead the team in the backcourt, there is no need to discuss so much. Can he just leave now?
"My life is life, and the lives of others are also lives. I cannot let so many people take risks just because of me."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "General, if you recover from your injuries, how confident are you that you can lead the envoy away?"
"What if I recover?"
Meng Bai pondered, "About six or seven points."
His health was weighing him down, and many of his plans were unable to be implemented. If he recovered from his injuries, and had two thousand elite soldiers among other things, he would have a certain degree of confidence in escaping from Da Qin, even if it were a head-on confrontation.
"Then if the general can become a first-class warrior, how sure are you?"
"First grade?"
Meng Bai couldn't help but laugh, "If I were a first-class person, the Qin army would not be able to keep my Daxia envoy!"
