330, I will give you a big gift for the soldier-making competition.
Jin Kui’s penis suddenly shrank.
He has the final say in Tongguan City?
"Can you make the decision?"
Jin Kui stared at Zhou Shu and said in a deep voice.
If Tongguan City really allows him to make the decision, then he can secretly withhold some Yuanshi without anyone noticing!
But the lord of Tongguan City is Ge Changlong, not Wu Zongquan.
When we gamble on Tongguan City, we are afraid that Wu Zongquan will not be able to make the decision!
What Jin Kui is worried about is just that Wu Zongquan can't make the decision, not that he can't win.
Who gave him the courage to challenge the dignified deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion?
"City Lord, do you believe me?"
Zhou Shu turned around and looked at Ge Changlong, cupped his hands and said.
Ge Changlong looked at Zhou Shu, and for some reason, he felt great confidence from Zhou Shu.
This made him blurt out, "I, the Lord of this city, naturally trust you."
"Well, I'll give you a big gift, City Lord!"
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I, the city lord, will bet with you once!"
Ge Changlong shouted, "Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, listen carefully. What Wu Zongquan said is what I said. As long as you can win him, you will have the final say in Tongguan City from now on!"
Ge Changlong said word for word.
His words happened to be heard by Ma Qianli and other senior generals from Tongguan City who had just arrived, and their faces changed drastically.
"City Lord——"
Ge Changlong waved his hand to stop everyone, and stared at Jin Kui unblinkingly.
"How dare you?"
No one thought that Ge Changlong could trust Wu Zongquan so much!
He actually took Tongguan City as a bet and asked Wu Zongquan to compete with Jin Kui in the art of forging weapons.
"Haha, this pavilion master doesn't dare?"
Jin Kui laughed loudly, "Ge Changlong, you have stayed in this remote place for so long that you have even forgotten the reputation of my Tiangong Pavilion?"
"Wu Zongquan, a mere Wu Zongquan, wants to defeat this Pavilion Master? In that case, this Pavilion Master will let you see what a real weapons master is!"
Jin Kui put his hands behind his back, looking proud.
"Wait a minute."
Zhou Shu said.
"Why, you regretted it? It's too late!"
Jin Kui said coldly.
"No, no, no."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "My bet has been made clear. Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, your bet has not been made clear yet."
"Since it is a bet, then our bets must be evenly matched. I am betting on Tongguan City. The bet you take out cannot be too bad, otherwise, it will be unfair."
"Haha, if you can really defeat this Pavilion Master, then why not give up the position of Deputy Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion to you?"
Jin Kui laughed loudly. He didn't think he would lose at all. In this case, what's the point of having a bet?
"What is the use of the position of deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion?"
Zhou Shu continued to shake his head and said, "Besides, I don't think you have the power to decide who the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion is."
Jin Kui's smile faded and his face darkened.
That's right, he really can't decide.
He is only one of the eight deputy heads of Tiangong Pavilion. Unlike Ge Changlong, he can decide everything in Tongguan City.
Only the head of the Tiangong Pavilion can decide on the appointment of the deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion. He, Jin Kui, does not have this power.
"Then what do you want?"
Jin Kui said coldly.
"Looking at how desperate you are, you definitely won't be able to come up with a bet comparable to Tongguan City, so be it."
Zhou Shu looked at Jin Kui and said, "If you lose, you will give all the magic weapons you have saved throughout your life to Tiangong Pavilion. In addition, you have to help Tongguan City buy no less than 100,000 magic weapons from Tiangong Pavilion.
Ten thousand pieces of magic weapons, and you have to stay in Tongguan City and serve Tongguan City for three hundred years."
Zhou Shu's request shocked Ge Changlong, Ma Qianli and others.
Isn’t this requirement a bit harsh?
Sure enough, Jin Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Zhou Shu with a murderous look, "Do you want me, the master of the pavilion, to work as an ox and a horse for Tongguan City?"
"Could it be that, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, you think you are destined to lose?"
Zhou Shu did not flinch at all and sneered, "If you can win, what's the point of these bets? Of course, if you think you will definitely lose, then I won't force you to bet, you just have to kowtow to the city lord.
Just ring your head three times to apologize, and then leave Tongguan City."
Zhou Shu's words made the murderous look in Jin Kui's eyes even stronger.
What is his identity as Jin Kui?
The dignified deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, wherever you go, you are not being enshrined on top?
How is it possible for him to kowtow to others and confess his guilt?
"Very good, since you are going to die, then I, the master of the pavilion, will do what you wish." Jin Kui said coldly, "You never know how far apart you are from the weapons caster of Tiangong Pavilion!"<
/p>
"Really? There used to be a Master Mo in Tongguan City, who also called himself the Weapon Master of Tiangong Pavilion. His level was just like that. I only used three successes to defeat him."
Zhou Shu said lightly.
Jin Kui's face turned as ugly as if he had eaten a dead fly. How could an ordinary weapon caster from Tiangong Pavilion compare with Jin Kui, the deputy pavilion master?
This boy who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth really won’t shed tears until he sees the coffin!
"This pavilion master will convince you to death today!"
Jin Kui gritted his teeth and said that it had been a long time since he had hated a person so much. Now he wanted to step Zhou Shu into the dirt immediately and then stomp on him a few more times!
"City Lord, what if we win and Jin Kui regrets his decision? Is there any way to make him willing to admit defeat?"
Zhou Shu did not look at Jin Kui, but looked at Ge Changlong and said.
Jin Kui was so angry that he, Jin Kui, was someone who refused to admit his losses when he lost a bet?
No, bah bah bah, he, Jin Kui, will lose?
What a joke!
How could he, Jin Kui, lose!
"He dare not admit defeat."
Ge Changlong said coldly, "I am the lord of Tongguan City, and I have been ordered by the Holy Spirit. If he dares to default on his debt, I will dare to ask the Holy Spirit for judgment. He, Jin Kui, cannot bear the consequences."
Ge Changlong is extremely confident.
Tiangong Pavilion is very amazing, but it is Tiangong Pavilion, not Jinkui.
After all, Jin Kui is just one of the eight deputy heads of Tiangong Pavilion.
Ge Changlong is a serious official. Besides, behind Ge Changlong, there is the Ge family, which is also an extremely powerful existence in this world.
It’s fine if it doesn’t make sense, but if it makes sense, Ge Changlong is also a person who can break the truth.
"That's good."
A smile appeared on Zhou Shu's face and he said, "City Lord, just keep an eye on it."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, I am a guest from afar, how do you want to compare?"
Zhou Shu looked at Jin Kui and said, "As long as it is related to the casting of soldiers, I will accompany you. Of course, if you want to compete in martial arts, I, the deputy city lord, can reluctantly compete with you."<
/p>
Competing in martial arts?
He, Jin Kui, cannot afford to lose that face!
"It's really arrogant."
Jin Kui said coldly.
Originally this was Tongguan City, and Wu Zongquan had the home court advantage. He could choose the direction he was best at to compete with himself.
It is impossible for an armorer to be proficient in everything. Some armorers are good at forging swords, some are good at forging knives, and some are good at forging armor.
Generally speaking, in competitions between weapon masters, they all choose to forge the same type of weapons, otherwise it is impossible to compare their respective levels.
For example, if one person forges a sword and another person forges armor, how can one compare the two weapons to see who is stronger?
Wu Zongquan has now given up the initiative and let himself choose. Isn't this seeking death?
"Don't regret it!"
Jin Kui said coldly, "Don't say that this pavilion master takes advantage of you. You helped Ma Wanli forge a knife before. I guess you are also good at forging knives. You and I will each forge a knife. Whose sword is stronger?"
Whoever wins!"
This method of competition is the simplest and most direct method.
When Zhou Shu competed with Master Mo, he also used this simple and crude method.
In fact, there are many ways for weapon craftsmen to compete with each other, such as testing the identification of weapon casting materials, testing fire control, etc.
But Jin Kui is too lazy to play so many tricks with Zhou Shu now. He just wants to defeat Zhou Shu simply and roughly, and then control Tongguan City. By then, Yuanshi Mine will be his own!
"Okay, as you wish."
Zhou Shu nodded and agreed, "In order to prevent you from cheating, I will add a condition. You and I can only use the materials I have here to make weapons."
"Otherwise, when you lose, you can tell me what special materials I used to make weapons."
Zhou Shu pointed at the warehouse in his mansion.
Since he revealed his identity as a weapon-casting division, all the weapons-casting materials in Tongguan City have been transported to his mansion. This is the place with the most complete range of weapon-casting materials in Tongguan City.
"Humph, this pavilion master is not so despicable."
Jin Kui said coldly.
He was originally worried that Tongguan City would do anything with the materials for casting soldiers. After all, this was not Tiangong Pavilion, and the materials for casting soldiers he carried with him were limited.
Now that Zhou Shu said this, it was exactly what he wanted.
Seeing the two of them starting to select materials for the army on the spot, Ma Qianli and other generals gathered around Ge Changlong.
"City Lord, this——"
Ma Qianli said with a worried face.
Speaking of which, Jin Kui was caused by his younger brother. He didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble to Tongguan City.
"City Lord, Wu Zongquan, can you do that?"
A general asked worriedly.
Although Wu Zongquan is indeed a weapon maker, Jin Kui is the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion. In the eyes of everyone, it is impossible for Wu Zongquan to win.
They wanted to say that Ge Changlong was too impulsive, but Ge Changlong was the city lord after all, so they could only say it to Wu Zongquan.
"I don't know."
Ge Changlong said in a deep voice, "But I believe him."
Everyone smiled bitterly, is this a question of belief or not?
If he loses, Tongguan City will fall under the control of others.
This time, the city lord really went a little too far.
"Even if he loses, it doesn't matter."
Ge Changlong's eyes flickered, "Besides Tongguan, spiritual insects have appeared, and an insect plague may break out at any time. This Tongguan City is no longer a safe place. Jin Kui is willing to wade into this muddy water. That's good. We can take the opportunity to escape."
."
"If Jin Kui loses, then we can get a group of magic soldiers and a deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion to help us in Tongguan City. Why not?"
As soon as Ge Changlong's words came out, everyone reacted.
The city lord is truly worthy of being a city lord, and his plans are far-reaching. They didn’t even think of this for a moment.
Yes, no matter they win or lose, they will not lose.
As the defenders of Tongguan City, they cannot abandon Tongguan City easily, otherwise the higher-ups will not be able to spare them.
But if Jin Kui wins, then the first person in charge of Tongguan City will be Jin Kui.
Even if the superiors knew about it, they would only say that Ge Changlong was fooling around instead of punishing him for escaping from battle.
When they thought of this, everyone immediately felt relieved.
Ma Qianli's mind was spinning. He now had doubts as to whether Wu Zongquan, the city lord, had already made a move. Otherwise, how could a little soldier suddenly become a weapon maker and dare to provoke Tiangong Pavilion?
Deputy Pavilion Master?
Thinking of this, Ma Qianli looked at Ge Changlong with eyes full of admiration.
The city lord has the qualifications to be a hero. It seems that he has to stay close to the city lord in order to have a better future.
……
Zhou Shu and Jin Kui didn't know what everyone was discussing. They were all in the warehouse selecting the materials they needed to use to build weapons.
This Jin Kui is arrogant and arrogant. His weapon-making skills are indeed much better than that of Master Mo.
But Zhou Shu is not an ordinary weapon maker. He has already known what level Jin Kui is through Ma Wanli's description.
Otherwise, how could he deliberately stir up trouble?
Seeing Jin Kui's choice of weapon-making materials, Zhou Shu had already collided with the weapon-making formulas one by one in his mind. Zhou Shu already had a rough idea of what level of magic weapons Jin Kui could forge.
In this way, Zhou Shu would know what kind of magic weapon he should forge.
If he tries his best, it won't be difficult to defeat Jin Kui.
The difficulty lies in how to defeat Jin Kui without showing too much strength.
Forging an army is not something that can be completed in a day or two. Ge Changlong and others are still busy with military affairs, so naturally they cannot stay here and wait.
He arranged for Ma Qianli and another general to watch here, and then he took the others away.
Zhou Shu and Jin Kui did not interfere with each other, and each occupied a corner to forge troops.
One day, two days...
Zhou Shu's house was always ablaze.
The crackling sound is endless, and occasionally the clang of weapons can be heard.
Just when Ma Qianli and others thought Zhou Shu and Jin Kui were about to succeed, suddenly, the sound of killing was heard from the direction of the city gate.
Ma Qianli and the other general looked at each other, feeling something bad in their hearts.
"General Ma, stay here while I go take a look!"
The general said, and he was about to fly towards the city gate.
Before he could fly, he heard the sound of a trumpet.
"The spiritual insects are attacking, everyone in Tongguan City is ready to fight!"
The voice of Ge Changlong, the lord of Tongguan City, sounded in the city.
Above the city, a bright light soars into the sky, forming a curtain of light that blocks out the sky and the sun.
Ma Qianli and the other general both had frightened looks in their eyes. An insect plague broke out?
This is many years earlier than they expected.
How could an insect plague break out in advance?
Normally, there is often a gap of tens or even hundreds of years between the appearance of spiritual insects and the actual outbreak of the insect plague. After all, the reproduction of spiritual insects also takes time.
They have just discovered the traces of spiritual insects, and they have already begun to attack the city?
"Let's go!"
Ma Qianli and the general looked at each other. At this time, they no longer cared about the competition between Zhou Shu and Jin Kui.
Is competition important?
If Tongguan City is destroyed, it will no longer matter who wins or loses!
"Are we going to help too?"
The guards at Zhou Shu's house, Zhan and everyone in Gutianting also hesitated.
They are nominally Zhou Shu's personal bodyguards. Logically speaking, they do not need to appear on the front line when there is no crisis.
But——
"You stay here while I go over to see what the spirit insect looks like and what its strength is. We must understand it clearly, otherwise if things change, we will become very passive."
Zhan pondered for a moment and then said, "If Tongguan City is lost, you don't have to worry about anything. Protect Master Wu and evacuate here immediately!"
"Take your orders!"
Others in Gutianting said in a deep voice.
Zhan glanced around, and at this time, Mu Zhixing had disappeared.
He didn't bother to look for Mu Zhixing. He swayed and turned into a stream of light, rushing toward the top of the city.
Zhou Shu and Jin Kui seemed to have not heard such a loud noise.
The two of them sat cross-legged in front of the casting furnace, with their eyes closed tightly, and their hands constantly changing the techniques. The clanging sound coming from the casting furnace clearly showed that their casting had reached a critical moment.
If there were knowledgeable people present at this time, it would be obvious that the casting progress of Zhou Shu and Jin Kui was almost the same.
This is absolutely an incredible thing.
This shows that, at least in terms of casting speed, Zhou Shu, a little-known weapon caster, is not weaker than the dignified deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion!
It's a pity that no outsiders can see this scene.
In fact, Zhou Shu was deliberately suppressing his speed, otherwise, he would have completed the casting long ago.
"Boom——"
In the distance, black shadows hit the light curtain at the top of Tongguan City.
The earth shook violently, as if an earth dragon was turning over.
In Tongguan City, countless buildings collapsed in an instant.
The figures in the ancient heaven swayed, surrounding Zhou Shu, and their bodies lit up with dazzling light.
At this moment, Zhou Shu's eyes suddenly opened, and a frightening light flashed away.
He looked up in the direction of the city wall and frowned.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, you are a step too late."
Zhou Shu said coldly. He changed the techniques with his hands, and a ray of light rose into the sky from the casting furnace.
A sound like a dragon's roar echoed above Tongguan City, and the ray of light had already flown towards the city wall.
"I have a suggestion. Let's take the number of spiritual insects we kill as an estimate. Whoever kills more will win. How about that?"
Zhou Shulang said.
"For the sake of this sentence, even if you lose, this Pavilion Master will allow you to join Tiangong Pavilion."
Jin Kui also opened his eyes and said coldly, "Spiritual insects must die!"
He also made a magic formula with both hands, and almost at the same time as Zhou Shu, a ray of light rose into the sky from his casting furnace.
"Guard Cheng, take my sword and kill the spiritual insects!"
Jin Kui shouted, and the powerful Tianzun beside him responded with a yes and then soared into the sky.
