Chapter 196 Yin Wuyou Awakens, and The Trial Begins (2)

If you have more, I want to buy one, Yin Wuyou said. The imperial physician said that it was the medicinal effects of the pill that saved my life. The pill might be able to treat the great generals old injuries. Yin Wuyou only knew that her breakthrough in cultivation had something to do with the medicinal pill she took at the time. But she only thought that the medicinal pill was used for healing injuries and that she could break through in her cultivation because the medicinal effects of the pill were too great.

She had never thought that the true use of the medicinal pill was actually to break through.

You dont have to think about that. Zhou Shu shook his head.

Yin Wuyou was a little disappointed. Every time she saw Meng Bai, she would feel extremely worried. But she had no choice. Meng Bais injuries had already reached the point where medicinal pills were useless.

She suddenly remembered what had happened before, so she asked casually.

There are only three pills in the world. You and Sun Gongping took one each. Ive given the last pill to the great general.

Grand Minister, Ive only told you because youre one of us. Dont tell anyone else about the pill. I really dont have any more, Zhou Shu said seriously.

One of us? Yin Wuyou felt sweet inside and nodded solemnly. Dont worry. I wont tell anyone. Even if its Little Senior Sister Lu, I wont tell her!

I believe you. Zhou Shu nodded.

The matter of the Breakthrough Pill actually had endless repercussions.

But even if it happened again, he would still make the same choice.

Including the one he gave Meng Bai.

He worked so hard to forge weapons and increase his cultivation so that he could have the ability to make decisions.

If he was afraid of trouble and could only watch the people around him die, then there was no point in raising his cultivation level. Grand Minister, when youre better, Ill have General Chen send someone to escort you back to Changan- Zhou Shu said.

Im not going back, Yin Wuyou interrupted before Zhou Shu could finish. Zhou Shu, do you know what kind of place Great Qin is?

What kind of place is Great Qin?

Great Qin is a land of tigers and wolves!

You havent met anyone from Great Qin. Theyre all compet.i.tive people, even more compet.i.tive than Little Senior Sister Lu, Yin Wuyou said excitedly. You dont know how to fight with others. What if someone bullies you when you go to Great Qin?

Youre a member of my Forging Division. Im the grand minister of the Forging Division. I cant watch you being bullied by others. Thus, I have come to protect you. Yin Wuyou puffed out her chest, revealing his perfect figure.

She didnt notice how lethal her posture was to men. Zhou Shu turned his head away unnaturally.

How can I not know what Great Qin is like?

Battle maniacs like w.a.n.g Xin are everywhere in Great Qin.

But Im the official envoy of Great Xia. As long as theres nothing wrong with their heads, they wont come find trouble with me.

Grand Minister, your reason is too lame.

Does His Majesty know? Zhou Shu asked.

Dont worry about him. Yin Wuyou waved her small hand. I heard that Great Qin has set up some sort of challenge this year. There must be nine people, right? Count me in!

After Yin Wuyou woke up, she already understood the situation at Hangu Pa.s.s.

Zhou Shu:

Marquis, there are already very few Forging Masters in the team. If we lose another one, we will be in great danger. This time, we are relying on forging skills, not martial strength! s.h.i.+ Songtao shouted.

Go tell the grand minister then. Tell her that there are no more slots in the team to challenge the trial. Tell her to play somewhere else, Zhou Shu said calmly.

s.h.i.+ Songtao:

Am I tired of living? How can I tell the grand minister that?

Even if Her Highness wants to join the team, we dont have to reduce the number of Forging Masters. We can have one less guard!

Challenging the trial isnt like fighting a war. Why do we need so many martial artists? I feel that Yin Chengshan can be removed.

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes at him. Who said that theres no need for a war?

If it was that simple, the teams only had to consist of Forging Masters. Why did they still include martial artists?

Naive!

When he entered w.a.n.g Xins dream, Zhou Shu already knew the specifics of the nine checkpoints, so he was fully confident. Even if all of them were removed, he could clear the checkpoints by himself.

Bringing these people along was merely giving them a chance to contribute.

Yin Chengshan cant be removed. Why dont you stay and lead the diplomatic mission? Zhou Shu said.

ess

Yin Chengshan was his worker, so of course he had to follow him. There was a chance for him to complete kills during this process. How can that do! I am the deputy envoy of the diplomatic mission. I must be in the team! s.h.i.+ Songtao said agitatedly. He was the deputy envoy of the diplomatic mission. How could he not partic.i.p.ate in the most important part? In that case, do as I say. Otherwise, you will withdraw. Zhou Shu waved his hand.

He, along with Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, Chen Ji, Yin Chengshan, and s.h.i.+ Songtao, were already six people. Together with the other three Forging Masters, they made up the nine people in the team.

The only regretful thing was that he wasnt able to include Yang Hong.

The main reason was that Yang Hong was a little too weak. Including him in the team might not be a good thing for him.

When he transformed into w.a.n.g Xin, Zhou Shu knew that although Great Qin didnt deliberately make things difficult for the nine nations, there was still a certain degree of danger while clearing the checkpoints.

This was also why Great Qin emphasized that there had to be Forging Masters and martial artists to clear the checkpoints.

Marquis, youre so obstinate. Will you be able to shoulder the responsibility if you fail?! s.h.i.+ Songtao shouted. Zhou Shu stopped and turned to look at s.h.i.+ Songtao. s.h.i.+ Songtao suddenly remembered that Zhou Shu had pulled out his hair, and he felt a little nervous. He involuntarily took a step back and mustered his courage to look at Zhou Shu.

Marquis, this matter concerns whether or not we can win the right to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. You cant act so arbitrarily.

Im the official envoy. I have the final say, Zhou Shu said calmly. Ill bear all the consequences.

Old s.h.i.+, if you want to make the decision, wait until you become the official envoy.

By the way, red copper and stone essence cant be mixed directly. It will cause an explosion. You have to smelt it for seven days first, then

Zhou Shu left these words and floated away.

s.h.i.+ Songtao opened his mouth wide, and his expression changed from shock to horror.

He had been developing a weapon. Every time he mixed it with red copper and stone essence, there would be an explosion.

He had never told anyone about this. How did he know?

Black magic! It must be black magic!

s.h.i.+ Songtao covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.

He recalled that Zhou Shu had once pulled a strand of his hair. It was very likely that he had used his hair to cast black magic on him.

Otherwise, it was impossible for him to know about the matter of the red copper and stone essence.

If he knew about the red copper and stone essence, wouldnt that mean that his life was in his hands?

He had read about it in a book. There was black magic that could control a persons actions through their blood essence and hair. Is it possible that the You Marquis knows this kind of black magic?

I was too careless. Why did I let him pull my hair?

s.h.i.+ Songtao wanted to cry but had no tears. Could it be that I can only be controlled by him in the future? I should still have some value. He wont kill me, right?

Zhou Shu walked out of s.h.i.+ Songtaos tent. He understood s.h.i.+ Songtaos personality and wasnt afraid that s.h.i.+ Songtao would expose anything

This fellow s.h.i.+ Songtao was completely different from the rumored forging genius. He was extremely afraid of death. Zhou Shu, who had become s.h.i.+ Songtao in his dream, naturally understood this very clearly.

s.h.i.+ Songtao was a person who was afraid of death. Even if he suspected why he knew about this matter, he definitely wouldnt dare to make it public.

He was just scaring him to vent his anger. After he woke up from the s.h.i.+ Songtao dream, he was affected by that years experience

Thump, thump, thump!

In front of Hangu Pa.s.s, the sound of war drums resounded from Great Qins army.

The voice of Great Qins w.a.n.g Xin spread throughout the various camps.

Time is up. All teams, prepare!
