Chapter 211 Great Qins Recruitment, Iron Smelting Hands Technique vs. Eight Quaint Fire Divine Art

Watching Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou, and Lu Wenshuang disappear from sight, Yang Hong felt like crying but had no tears.

Thump!

He slapped himself.

Yang Hong, oh, Yang Hong, you clearly know what kind of person this marquis is. Why are you so easily moved?

Now, youve jumped into a huge trap.

Sigh!

If I were given another chance, I would still choose this!

He looked at the Mo Mei Sword in his hand, and a look of desperation appeared on his face.

For the sake of Mo Mei, death is worth it!

Besides, I might not die, right?

On the way back with Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou had a strange expression on her face. Although Lu Wenshuang was still expressionless, she couldnt conceal the curiosity in the depths of her eyes.

Yin Wuyou finally couldnt hold back anymore and asked. Zhou Shu, why did you get Yang Hong to

She was a girl who couldnt hide her feelings.

Dont ask. I wont tell you, Zhou Shu said without turning his head.

Hmph! Yin Wuyou stomped her foot angrily. Fine, dont say it then! I dont care!

She glanced at Lu Wenshuang. Little Senior Sister Lu, do you know?

If you dont know, how would I know? Lu Wenshuang replied with her eyes.

When he returned to his room, Zhou Shu found that s.h.i.+ Songtao was still there. Old s.h.i.+, youre still here? What do you want?

s.h.i.+ Songtao rolled his eyes. This official envoy really doesnt care about anything!

Marquis, Great Qin sent someone to notify us, s.h.i.+ Songtao said. Tomorrow, the Qin emperor will meet with the ten nations to discuss the final candidates to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.

Thats it? Zhou Shu smiled. Did they say how the final candidates will be decided?

No. s.h.i.+ Songtao shook his head. I think they want all the nations to come to a resolution.

Although Great Qin was the previous host and had the right to decide how to select the next host, their method had to convince the other nations.

Previously, setting up the nine challenges had already made the various nations somewhat unhappy.

If not for the fact that Great Qin was powerful, there would have already been nations that jumped out to oppose it.

Even though no one openly objected to it now, if Great Qin made a similar move again, then things might turn ugly.

Thats it? Zhou Shu said indifferently. Theres no need to inform me about such a small matter.

Is this a small matter?

Isnt this the reason why we came on this diplomatic mission?

s.h.i.+ Songtao cursed silently before continuing, Theres one more thing, Great Qins Weapon Bureaus Grand Superintendent Xu s.h.i.+ wishes to invite you, Marquis, to attend a banquet.

Great Qins Weapon Bureau was similar to Great Xias Forging Division. The Weapon Bureaus grand superintendent was equivalent to the Forging Divisions grand minister.

Moreover, Great Qins Weapon Bureaus grand superintendents rank was even higher than Great Xias Forging Divisions grand ministers. He was a second-rank official and held great authority. Oh? Zhou Shus heart stirred. He came to Great Qin for one reason: to recruit more workers.

Great Qins grand superintendent is in charge of Great Qins armaments. If I make a deal with

him

Zhou Shu immediately shook his head. If he made a deal with Great Qins Weapon Bureaus grand superintendent, there would be some risk involved. Would it be considered treason?

Great Xia treated him quite well. It was fine if he threw a few ranked weapons to Great Qin, but it might be too much to get involved with Great Qins Weapon Bureau.

Did he invite all the diplomatic missions, or did he only invite us? Zhou Shu asked.

It wasnt an invitation to us. It was an invitation to you, Marquis, s.h.i.+ Songtao said solemnly. Xu Shu only invited you. He is the most well-known Grand Craftsman in Great Qin. He wants to discuss forging techniques with you.

Discuss forging techniques? Zhou Shu frowned slightly. Im just a Forging Master. How can I discuss forging techniques with a Grand Craftsman?

Marquis, are you an ordinary Forging Master? s.h.i.+ Songtao cursed silently. The top ten weapons of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual are almost all yours. Who would treat you as an ordinary Forging Master?

Even Grand Craftsmen have to respect you!

Marquis, if you dont want to attend the banquet, Ill send someone to inform Xu s.h.i.+, s.h.i.+ Songtao said.

Wait. Zhou Shu stopped s.h.i.+ Songtao. After a moment of silence, he said, We came from afar as guests, so it wouldnt be good if we directly refused. When is the banquet?

Tonight, s.h.i.+ Songtao said.

Alright, Ill go then. Zhou Shu pondered. They didnt say that I have to go alone, right?

s.h.i.+ Songtao thought for a moment and said, The invitation is for you alone, Marquis. But it didnt say that you cant bring anyone along.

In that case, come with me. Well go together and see how capable Great Qins Grand Craftsmen are.

If Zhou Shu attended the banquet, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang would definitely follow.

The two of them treated themselves as Zhou Shus personal guards. Before returning to Great Xia, they would protect Zhou Shu everywhere he went.

In addition, s.h.i.+ Songtao and Chen Ji also went along

s.h.i.+ Songtao was an extra, while Chen Ji was also to protect Zhou Shu.

Even though Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang would be there, if there really were enemies that the two of them couldnt deal with, Chen Ji would be useless.

But if they met some rogues, he couldnt possibly let the two ladies fight the rogues.

Xu s.h.i.+ was Great Qins Weapon Bureaus grand superintendent, a second-rank official of the imperial court. But his residence was extremely low-key.
