206. Take me three strokes without hurting, I am as you wish (monthly ticket)
"Boom——"
Xu Shi's figure flew several feet into the air, and a strong aura suddenly erupted from his body. The light flashed, and he turned over and landed on the ground.
There was a loud noise, and his feet sank several inches into the ground, causing the ground to rumble and tremble.
Xu Shi looked down at his palms, a look of disbelief flashing across his face.
Everyone else was also dumbfounded.
What just happened?
Xu Shi, who was at the first level of martial arts, was punched away by Hou Ye, who was at the fifth level of martial arts?
Are we dreaming?
How is this possible?
Wang Mu and Meng Bai, the two first-level martial artists present, also frowned.
They could see that Xu City had not used all its strength before.
No matter it's the first move, the second move, or the third move.
Xu City is just coping.
But even if you don’t use your full strength as a first-level martial artist, you are still a first-level martial artist.
Moreover, when Zhou Shu hit Xu Shi with that punch, they could clearly see that Xu Shi was already mobilizing Ling Yuan.
But before he broke out, he had already been knocked away by Zhou Shu.
The first-level martial artist reacted so quickly. In their opinion, this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen.
"Master Xu, three moves have passed, what do you say?"
Zhou Shu's voice rang out in the silent Hangu Pass, bringing everyone back to their senses.
Everyone's eyes fell on the two of them.
Yes, the three moves have passed.
Although Zhou Shu just punched Xu Shi away, Xu Shi should not have been injured, right?
Everyone suddenly realized that flying and being injured are completely different concepts.
Is Xu Shi trying to save face for Zhou Shu by pretending to be beaten away so that Zhou Shu could have a way to get down?
After all, a fifth-level martial artist can knock away a first-level martial artist with one punch, which is enough to brag for a lifetime.
Anyway, their previous agreement was that as long as Zhou Shu couldn't hurt Xu Shi with three moves, he would have to help Xu Shi practice the iron hand.
By doing this, Xu Shi would only lose some face at most, not even face. Who would believe that a fifth-level martial artist could really knock out a first-level martial artist with one punch?
Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Shi's expression turned a little bitter.
"The Marquis of Youzhou is truly remarkable."
Xu Shi smiled bitterly and said.
Everyone was stunned again, what do you mean?
"I lost."
Xu Shi continued, his whole body seemed to be a little sluggish, giving the impression that his whole body was about to collapse.
"I'm willing to admit defeat. Youzhou Hou's three moves injured Xu, so Xu will no longer be entangled."
Xu Shi said in a deep voice.
Everyone was dumbfounded, even Wang Mu frowned.
Xu Shi was injured?
How is this possible?
"Master Xu!"
Wang Mu knew the actual situation best. He looked at Xu Shi and said in a deep voice.
This joke cannot be made!
Xu Shi shook his head with a wry smile and raised his right hand towards Wang Mu.
I saw that the little finger on his right hand had a weird bend, and it was obvious that it had been fractured.
A broken little finger is not an injury to a first-level martial artist. With their bodies, they can recover quickly.
If it were a real battle, this minor injury would not affect their actual combat effectiveness at all.
But if you are injured, you are injured.
The agreement between Xu Shi and Zhou Shu is that Zhou Shu will help him practice the iron hand only if he is not injured in three moves.
From the perspective of the agreement between the two, Xu Shi truly lost.
Wang Mu's pupils shrank. Although he couldn't believe it, the fact was already before his eyes.
"General, let's go!"
Zhou Shu stood up to Xu Shi and Wang Mu and said in a deep voice.
Meng Bai nodded, raised his hand, and the Daxia envoy began to walk forward slowly.
They passed by Xu Shi and Wang Mu, and then passed by the defenders of Hangu Pass in Da Qin.
Everyone is on full alert, fearing that people from Da Qin will try to stop him.
But Xu Shi and Wang Mu remained silent. Wang Xin scratched his head and didn't know what to do.
They didn't say anything, so the Qin defenders naturally wouldn't act without authorization.
Just like that, the Daxia delegation of 3,000 people was getting closer and closer to the exit of Hangu Pass.
As long as they leave Hangu Pass, they can leave the border of Daqin.
At that time, even if the Da Qin army wants to stop it, it will not be that easy.
If they cross the border without authorization, they will be provoking Daliang. Even if Daliang is weak, he will not sit back and watch this happen.
"Marquis Youzhou!"
Seeing that the Daxia mission was about to cross Hangu Pass and enter Daliang territory.
Suddenly, Xu Shi's voice sounded.
"Master Xu, is there anything else you want to say?"
Zhou Shu asked without looking back.
"The honor and disgrace of Mr. Xu's life and death are nothing. If I lose, Xu City will not be entangled with me from now on, but Da Qin will not give up."
Zhou Shu: "..."
What do you mean?
Are you going to stop bothering me? Will Da Qin send someone else over?
Are you talking about brown candies?
Feelings: I have spent so much effort just now, and it was all in vain?
Do you really have to force me to kill another first-grade person before you give up?
"If it is not absolutely necessary, I, the Qin Dynasty, would not be willing to do such a thing."
Xu Shi continued, "Marquis Youzhou, please think twice!"
"Think twice, I'll think twice, you idiot!"
Zhou Shu was angry.
"Xu Shi, go back and tell Emperor Qin that if there is one, there will be two, but not three. My patience has reached its limit."
Zhou Shu said coldly, "If Great Qin dares to send people to harass me again, come one and I will kill one, come two and kill both!"
"Don't blame me for not predicting what I said! Even a first-level martial artist is not invincible. Xiao Shunzhi of the Great Wei Dynasty is a precedent!"
As he spoke, he rode forward. The Daxia envoy did not stop, and soon they all left Hangu Pass and entered the territory of Daliang.
Xu Shi and Wang Mu watched the Daxia delegation go away, and looked at each other, both seeing the complexity in each other's eyes.
"Are you really hurt?"
Wang Mu couldn't help but said.
"You doubt me?"
Xu Shi snorted coldly, "His spiritual cultivation is indeed only the fifth level of martial arts, but his physical strength is definitely more than the fifth level. Either he is born with divine power, or he has specially tempered his physical body."
"It is said that the Marquis of Youzhou practiced the Jade Book of Emperor Xuan of Great Xia. At that time, Emperor Xuan of Great Xia was famous for his physical tyranny——"
Wang Mu muttered.
"It's no longer useful to say that. I'm underestimating the enemy."
Xu Shi said in a deep voice, if he treats Zhou Shu as a real opponent from the moment he comes up, then even if Zhou Shu's physical strength exceeds the fifth level, it will be impossible to hurt him.
In the final analysis, he still underestimated the enemy.
"Master Xu, Master Xu, you have always been steady, why-"
Wang Mu sighed.
Xu Shi snorted coldly, how could he have imagined that such a thing would happen?
"Tell me, what should we do now?"
Wang Muchao.
Daxia has always been worried that Daqin will mobilize troops. In fact, what Daqin did before was already the limit. They actually did not dare to really take action against the Daxia envoy.
It’s not quite accurate to say I don’t dare.
To be precise, they don't want to really fall out with Daxia now.
The current situation in Da Qin is tense. While they want to take revenge on Da Wei, they also have to deal with their own affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are very worried.
If you fall out with Daxia again, it will really add fuel to the fire.
So they are also playing with the scale and don't dare to push too far.
"If the hard one doesn't work, then you can only use the soft one."
Xu Shi sighed and said, "You have had more contact with the Daxia envoy. Do you have any preferences for Marquis Youzhou?"
"I don't know."
Wang Mu shook his head and said, "The princesses of Daxia all serve as his personal bodyguards. Do you think that this method of just following the other's will will work? Will he be lacking something?"
Xu Shi sighed and shook his head.
When he was in the capital of Qin, he tried to recruit Zhou Shu.
But he seems to have a lot of fine clothes, fine food, glory, wealth, and even beautiful flowers.
Xu Shi himself didn’t know what he could do to impress Zhou Shu.
"Master Xu, you really can't master the iron hand yourself?"
Wang Mu said.
"You can't practice it."
Xu Shi shook his head, "There is really no other way, so we can only——"
A fierce look flashed in Xu Shi's eyes.
"Da Qin is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, so it is not appropriate to directly fall out with Da Xia."
Xu Shi said coldly, "But now, the Daxia delegation has entered Daliang. If anything happens to them, it will have nothing to do with our Daqin."
Wang Mu frowned, "Is this really the case?"
"If there is no iron smelting hand, it will take at most three months, and something big will happen to Zhen Guoding. If there is an iron smelting hand, I am confident that this time can be extended by a year and a half."
Xu Shi said in a deep voice.
Wang Mu sighed, his impression of Zhou Shu was pretty good.
But for the sake of Da Qin, this is the only way.
……
"Marquis Youzhou, you, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Lu Wenshuang should leave immediately after nightfall without disturbing anyone."
Meng Bai said with a solemn expression, "I will make some illusions to make people think that you are still in the mission."
"General, is this necessary? We have all left Da Qin now."
Zhou Shudao.
"You are too young and don't understand Da Qin."
Meng Bai shook his head, "According to Da Qin's past style, it is impossible for us to leave Da Qin so smoothly."
"But we left so smoothly! This can only mean that something happened to Da Qin! And this matter is not a big deal."
"Isn't that right? If something goes wrong in their country, wouldn't they have no energy to take care of us?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"On the contrary!"
Meng Bai said in a deep voice, "You have also seen it, Marquis Youzhou. They are determined to win your iron smelting hands. This shows that your iron smelting hands may be able to help them solve some problems."
"Under this situation, Great Qin was able to resist using its troops directly. Why do you think it is because of this?"
Zhou Shu was just an ordinary laborer in his previous life. Although he has gained some skills in this life, to be honest, he is not good at the general situation of the country or conspiracy.
Who says that every Chinese person is good at officialdom strategy? Ordinary people don’t know anything about it.
If an ordinary person traveled back in time and became a scheming official tycoon, wouldn't that be ridiculous?
Seeing Zhou Shu shaking his head, Meng Bai continued to explain, "This shows that they are in great trouble themselves and do not want to directly fall out with us, Daxia."
"Let's assume that Da Qin encounters some internal problems, and now they are launching troops against Wei. In this case, if Da Xia sends troops again, will it be a disaster for Da Qin?"<
/p>
Although there is a nominal alliance between the ten countries and they cannot invade each other at will, over the years, disputes between the countries have never been less.
"General, are you saying that Great Qin doesn't want to fall out with us, Great Xia, so although they want my iron smelting hand, they have never used their army to destroy our Great Xia mission, and they have always just tried to find ways to trade?"<
/p>
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
"A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
Meng Bai said, "If we can successfully exchange for an iron smelting hand, Da Qin will not bother to embarrass us now."
"But,"
Meng Bai glanced at Zhou Shu and said, "Your iron smelting skills don't seem to be that easy to practice. As a result, you yourself have become their target!"
"They were unwilling to fall out with Daxia, so they never really took action in Daqin."
"Now that we have left Da Qin, if something unexpected happens again, it will have nothing to do with Da Qin!"
"If I were Emperor Qin, I would definitely send people to kidnap you in Daliang. It would be best to destroy the Daxia envoy directly."
"As a result, Daxia and Daliang may have some entanglements. At that time, the eyes of all countries will no longer be focused on Daqin."
Meng Bai's explanation made Zhou Shu's back feel cold.
What are these people thinking about all day long?
It seems that I am still too naive.
"If this is the case, what will you do if I leave?"
Zhou Shu frowned and said, he was thinking whether he should teach Da Qin a painful lesson.
"Hmph, I have been in the battlefield for decades, and I am not something anyone can control."
Meng Bai snorted coldly, "If you want to destroy the Daxia mission, you have to see if they have the ability!"
"As long as you are here, General, we also have two thousand guards. Even if the Qin Dynasty takes action, after all, they are in the territory of the Wei Dynasty. Can they still send tens of thousands of troops?"
Zhou Shu said, "We are not without the strength to fight. What does it matter if I leave or not?"
"No one dares to say that he will be invincible against the enemy on the battlefield."
Meng Bai shook his head and said, "You are a weapon maker. Killing enemies is not what you should do. It is not worth it to stay here and take risks."
"If you have an accident here, then even if we can avenge you in the future, what's the point?"
"Members of the envoy, don't worry, I will try my best to protect them."
Meng Bai said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, if we were defeated, if you were not here, Da Qin would have no reason to kill them all. This would be a big deal to you and the rest of the mission."
A good thing."
Zhou Shu frowned, hesitating whether to tell Meng Bai his true strength.
Suddenly, a roar like a tiger or a wolf came from a distance.
Meng Bai's face suddenly changed.
"It's too late."
Meng Bai said in a deep voice, "They are coming."
Zhou Shu raised his head and looked in the direction where the roar of the tiger came from.
"Who are they?"
Looking through the night, Zhou Shu seemed to see black shadows galloping towards him at an incredible speed in the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Great Qin, Tiger, Leopard and Wolf Cavalry Army!"
