Chapter 192 A Big Fish, Great Qin General (2)
In fact, Great Qin had never said that they wouldn’t allow the diplomatic mission of the ten nations to enter Hangu Pass. They had only set up the trial, and the nine nations could challenge the trial voluntarily.
It was fine if they were unwilling to challenge the trial.
But this was equivalent to giving up the right to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.
Of course, even if they didn’t challenge the trials, they could still participate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. It was just that they couldn’t participate as the host.
It was precisely because of this that the current army of Great Qin stationed at Hangu Pass wasn’t the true elites of Great Qin, and the general wasn’t necessarily a higher-up of Great Qin.
He might not even know the specifics of the nine checkpoints. Even if Zhou Shu obtained the hair of this general, what use would it be?
Meng Bai’s status was different! The one he knew was definitely an absolute higher-level person in Great Qin.
Only such a character could have access to Great Qin’s true secrets.
“I can’t get any information.” Meng Bai shook his head. “However, when we reach Great Qin’s capital, I can introduce a few people to you, You Marquis.”
It will be too late by the time I arrive in the capital!
“General, you are Great Xia’s God of War. Before you arrive at Hangu Pass, won’t Great Qin send someone important to welcome you?” Zhou Shu asked.
Meng Bai couldn’t help laughing. “I’m already old and weak. Moreover, I’m not an official member of the diplomatic mission, so why would Great Qin welcome me?
“You Marquis, what exactly do you want to do? Why don’t you just say it? Perhaps I can think of a way.”
Zhou Shu was going around in circles. Meng Bai wasn’t stupid, so he naturally knew that Zhou Shu was planning something.
“Erm…” Zhou Shu scratched his head. He definitely couldn’t tell him about Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique. That would be too shocking.
He could only think of another way.
“Great General, do you know that I have a senior brother?” Helpless, Zhou Shu could only bring out his undeserved invincible senior brother.
“Oh?” Meng Bai nodded, indicating for Zhou Shu to continue.
Meng Bai naturally knew about the senior brother Zhou Shu spoke of. He was the one who had severed Xiao Shunzhi’s arm.
Of course, Zhou Shu’s words, regardless of whether it was Emperor Yuan Feng or Meng Bai, they merely just listened to him.
As for whether they believed it, no one knew.
“My senior brother told me that Great Qin’s actions this time are slightly strange. There might be a huge problem within it,” Zhou Shu said. “That’s why I was wondering if I could meet someone who knows about it. Even if I can’t get any concrete information, I might be able to use some indirect methods.”
“Your senior brother told you that there’s a problem with Great Qin?” Meng Bai said with a low voice. Regardless of whether the matter of his senior brother was true or false, he felt that Zhou Shu shouldn’t be joking.
Actually, Meng Bai also felt that Great Qin’s methods were a bit strange.
If they wanted the various countries to compete in forging skills, they could compete however they wanted in Great Qin.
Why did they set up a checkpoint starting from Hangu Pass?
But Great Qin always controlled information extremely strictly, and even Meng Bai didn’t obtain much valuable information.
“You don’t have to worry about Great Qin playing any tricks,” Meng Bai said with a low voice. “No matter what checkpoints they set up, it won’t affect the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. They wouldn’t dare.”
“Great General, is there anything else to be said about this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?” Zhou Shu asked, puzzled. He didn’t know why Meng Bai said Great Qin wouldn’t dare.
“It’s a long story. You’ll find out later.” Meng Bai shook his head. “You don’t have to think too much about the matters of Great Qin. As for whether or not you’ll be able to obtain the right for Great Xia to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, it’s up to fate. There’s no need to force it.”
After walking out of Meng Bai’s tent, Zhou Shu looked in the direction of Hangu Pass.
Meng Bai couldn’t obtain what he wanted here either, so he could only give the general at Hangu Pass general a try.

Although Meng Bai and Emperor Yuan Feng said it was up to fate, Zhou Shu felt that since he was already prepared to take action, it would be too embarrassing if he lost.
Since he was here, there would be no second outcome.
He had never lost in the path of forging. At present, there was an army from Great Qin at Hangu Pass, as well as diplomatic missions from various countries.
Even with Zhou Shu’s cultivation, he didn’t dare to forcefully attack Great Qin’s guarding general.
But it didn’t seem like there was a need to use force. After all, he only needed a strand of the other party’s hair.
Zhou Shu arrived in front of Hangu Pass and announced his identity to the Great Qin guard. Soon, a person dressed like a general arrived in front of him.
“Are you the official envoy of the Great Xia diplomatic mission? Have you decided on the candidates of your team?” The general thought that the Great Xia diplomatic mission had decided on who was going to challenge the trial.
“We are still deciding.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’m here because I have something to ask you, General.”
“Didn’t I already explain the rules to you?” the general said impatiently.
“It’s very simple. Every country will send out nine people to challenge the trial, whereas the others can head to Great Qin’s capital to wait. Those who succeed in the trial will have the qualifications to compete for the hosting rights of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, whereas those who fail will lose the right to compete.” “General, you’re mistaken.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I’m not here to ask for guidance on the rules. “I just want to ask, General, do you know the details of these nine checkpoints?”
“I know, but I won’t tell you,” the general said. “You can only know the contents of the next checkpoint after passing through one.”
“I’m glad you know, General.” Zhou Shu suddenly reached out and patted the general’s shoulder.
When he reached out, the general had already sensed it and instinctively wanted to dodge.
But Zhou Shu’s seemingly slow movements landed right on his shoulder, and he was completely unable to dodge! After Zhou Shu patted the general on the shoulder, he turned and floated away. The general still hadn’t reacted. The general only returned to his senses when Zhou Shu was far away.
He shook his head, looking puzzled, wondering why he hadn’t avoided Zhou Shu’s action.
Perhaps it was because the other party had no hostility.
After all, the official envoy of Great Xia was only a seventh-rank martial artist, while he was already a fourth-rank martial artist. How could he not be able to dodge the other party’s actions?
The general shook his head and turned around to return to the camp.
“What are you going to do?” Lu Wenshuang suddenly said.
When Zhou Shu patted the general’s shoulder, he had pulled out a strand of hair from the general’s head. The general didn’t notice, but Lu Wenshuang had seen it clearly. “Would you believe me if I told you I’m going back to bed?” Zhou Shu didn’t explain and smiled.
He had obtained this general’s hair very easily. He just didn’t know what his status in Great Qin was like and how many secrets he knew.
Lu Wenshuang frowned slightly. She watched as Zhou Shu casually entered a tent. A moment later, he began to snore. He’s still cultivating while sleeping? When Lu Wenshuang saw the faint white light appear on Zhou Shu’s body, a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. She had even forgotten about the strand of hair.
Along the way, she had never left Zhou Shu’s side. She had never seen him work so hard before. Does he want to sharpen his spear in the face of imminent challenge?
Lu Wenshuang didn’t think in any other direction. In this world, there were also cultivation techniques that could be cultivated while sleeping. Zhou Shu didn’t appear special to her.
Even as a Forging Master, he’s working so hard. I should cultivate harder.
Lu Wenshuang found a place and sat cross-legged. Soon, she entered a state of cultivation.
The seemingly sleeping Zhou Shu transformed into a black-armored general in a dreamland. His name was Wang Xin, the grandson of Great General Wang Muzhi!
This Great Qin general was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia’s three armies.
Wang Muzhi was equivalent to Meng Bai in Great Xia!
Even though his grandson’s current position wasn’t high, he would definitely be able to come into contact with the secrets of Great Qin!
Initially, he thought that the other party was just an ordinary guard general. He didn’t expect him to have such an identity!
A thought flashed through Zhou Shu’s remaining consciousness. I actually caught a big fish!
