Chapter 245 Victory, Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry (2)

Zhou Shu spurred his horse forward. The Great Xia diplomatic mission didn’t stop. Soon, all of them left Hangu Pass and entered the borders of Great Liang.

Xu Shi and Wang Mu watched as the Great Xia diplomatic mission left. They looked at each other and saw the complexity in each other’s eyes.

“Are you really hurt?” Wang Mu couldn’t help asking.

“Do you doubt me?” Xu Shi snorted coldly. “His spiritual essence cultivation is indeed only at the fifth rank, but his physical strength is definitely not as simple as that. Either he was born with divine strength, or he has specially tempered his body.”

“It’s said that the You Marquis cultivated the Great Xia’s Emperor Xuan Jade Book. Back then, Emperor Xuan was famous for his powerful body…” Wang Mu pondered.

“It’s useless to talk about this now. I underestimated my enemy.”

If he had treated Zhou Shu as a true opponent right from the start, then even if Zhou Shu’s physical strength exceeded the fifth rank, it would have been impossible for him to injure him.

In the end, he had underestimated his enemy.

“Lord Xu, Lord Xu, you’ve always been steady. Why…” Wang Mu sighed.

Xu Shi snorted coldly. How could I have expected such a thing to happen?

“Tell me. What should we do now?” Wang Mu said.

Great Xia had always been worried that Great Qin would mobilize its troops. In fact, Great Qin had already reached its limit. They didn’t dare to really attack Great Xia’s diplomatic mission.

It was not quite accurate to say that they didn’t dare.

To be precise, they didn’t want to fall out with Great Xia now.

The current situation in Great Qin was tense. They had to take revenge on Great Wei while dealing with their own matters. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were in a terrible fix.

If they fell out with Great Xia, it would really add fuel to the fire.

Therefore, they didn’t dare to go too far.

“If we can’t do it the hard way, we’ll have to do it the soft way.” Xu Shi sighed. “You’ve had more contact with the Great Xia diplomatic mission. Does the You Marquis have any preferences?”

“I don’t know.” Wang Mu shook his head. “The princess of Great Xia is his personal guard. Do you think this method of pleasing him will work? Would he lack anything?”

Xu Shi sighed and shook his head.

Back in Great Qin’s capital, he had tried to recruit Zhou Shu.

But he didn’t seem to lack wealth or women.

Xu Shi didn’t know what he could use to move Zhou Shu’s heart.

“Lord Xu, can you really not master the Iron Smelting Hands Technique yourself?” Wang Mu asked.

“I can’t.” Xu Shi shook his head. “There’s really no other way. We can only…”

A fierce look flashed across Xu Shi’s eyes.

“Great Qin is facing internal and external problems now. It’s not appropriate to fall out with Great Xia.”

Xu Shi said coldly, “But now, the Great Xia diplomatic mission has already entered Great Liang. If anything happens to them, it will have nothing to do with our Great Qin.”

Wang Mu frowned. “Is that really the case?”

“If we don’t have the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, it will take at most three months for something big to happen to the imperial cauldron. If we have the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, I’m confident that we can extend this time by a year and a half,” Xu Shi said solemnly. Wang Mu sighed. He had a good impression of Zhou Shu.

But for the sake of Great Qin, that was the only way.

“You Marquis, leave immediately after nightfall with Her Highness and Lu Wenshuang. Don’t alarm anyone,” Meng Bai said with a grave expression. “I will create the illusion that you are still with the diplomatic mission.”

“Grand General, is that necessary? We’ve already left Great Qin,” Zhou Shu said.

“You’re too young to understand Great Qin.” Meng Bai shook his head. “According to Great Qin’s style, it should have been impossible for us to leave Great Qin so smoothly.

“But we left so smoothly! This can only mean that something happened to Great Qin! And it isn’t a small matter.”

“Isn’t that perfect? If something happens to them internally, they won’t have the energy to care about us.” Zhou Shu asked.

“On the contrary!” Meng Bai said in a low voice. “You can tell that they are determined to obtain your Iron Smelting Hands Techniques. This means that your Iron Smelting Hands Technique might be able to help them solve some problems.

“Under such circumstances, why do you think Great Qin could hold back from directly using their soldiers?”

In his previous life, Zhou Shu had only been an ordinary worker. Although he had some ability in this life, to be honest, he was not good at scheming.

Who said that every transmigrator was good at political strategy? Ordinary people knew nothing at all.

Wasn’t it ridiculous for an ordinary person to become a scheming official after transmigrating back to ancient times?

Seeing Zhou Shu shake his head, Meng Bai continued to explain, “This means that they are in great trouble and don’t want to fall out with our Great Xia.

“Let’s assume that Great Qin encountered some problems internally. Now that they are sending troops to Great Wei, under such circumstances, if Great Xia sends troops to them, wouldn’t it be a calamity for Great Qin?”

Although there was a nominal alliance of the ten nations, and they could not invade each other, there had been no lack of disputes between the nations over the years.

“Great General, are you saying that Great Qin doesn’t want to fall out with our Great Xia? So although they want my Iron Smelting Hands Technique, they haven’t used their army to destroy our Great Xia diplomatic mission and have only been thinking of ways to trade?” Zhou Shu said.

“Problems that can be solved with money are not problems,” Meng Bai said. “If they had successfully cultivated the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, Great Qin wouldn’t have made things difficult for us now.

“But…” Meng Bai glanced at Zhou Shu. “Your Iron Smelting Hands Technique doesn’t seem to be that easy to cultivate. As such, you yourself have become their target!

“They’re unwilling to fall out with Great Xia, so they never really attacked in Great Qin.

“But now that we’ve already left Great Qin, if anything happens again, it will have nothing to do with Great Qin!

“If I were the Qin emperor, I would definitely send someone to kidnap you in Great Liang and destroy the Great Xia diplomatic mission.

“In that case, Great Xia and Great Liang will probably be entangled. At that time, the gazes of the various nations will not be on Great

Qin.”

Meng Bai’s explanation sent a chill down Zhou Shu’s spine.

What are these people thinking all day?

It seems I’m still too naive.

“If that’s the case, what will you do if I leave?” Zhou Shu frowned. Should I teach Great Qin a painful lesson?

“Hmph, I, Meng Bai, have been on the battlefield for decades. I’m not a pushover.” Meng Bai snorted. “We’ll have to see if they have the ability to destroy the Great Xia diplomatic mission!

“With you around, Great General, and two thousand guards, even if Great Qin makes a move, we’re still in Great Liang. Can they send out tens of thousands of troops?” Zhou Shu asked. “It’s not like we don’t have the ability to fight. What does it matter if I leave or not?”

“No one can say for sure who will lose on the battlefield.” Meng Bai shook his head.

“You’re a Forging Master. Killing enemies is not something you should do. It’s not worth staying here and taking risks.

“If you have an accident here, then even if we can avenge you later, what’s the point?

“Don’t worry about the diplomatic mission. I’ll do my best to protect them,” Meng Bai said in a deep voice. “Besides, if we lose and you’re not here, Great Qin will have no reason to kill us. This will be a good thing for you and the rest of the diplomatic mission.”

Zhou Shu frowned, wondering if he should tell Meng Bai about his true strength.

Suddenly, a wolf’s howl sounded in the distance.

Meng Bai’s expression changed.

“It’s too late,” Meng Bai said grimly. “They’re coming.”

Zhou Shu looked in the direction of the howl.

“Who are they?”

His gaze pierced through the night. Zhou Shu seemed to see black shadows speeding over from the distant forest. “Great Qin, Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry!”
