Chapter 254: Famous Throughout The World, I’m Just a Forger (1)
Hearing everyone’s cheers, Zhou Shu frowned.
“Qin emperor, what do you mean? I’m not from your Great Qin. I don’t need your conferment!” Zhou Shu said.
What side-by-side king? He came to Great Qin to take revenge!
“You don’t need to be from Great Qin. Great Qin doesn’t need you to do anything,” the Qin emperor said. “Whether you accept it or not is your business, but it’s up to me if I want to confer the t.i.tle upon you.”
“Nonsense!” Zhou Shu shouted coldly. “Qin emperor, you’re injured now. If I attack you today, I’ll be taking advantage of you.
!!
“I’ll wait for you to give me an explanation. If you can’t satisfy me, I’ll come back!”
Then clouds appeared under Zhou Shu’s feet. He used the Riding on Cloud and Wind Technique and left.
The first-rank martial artists of Great Qin blocking his path dodged, making way for him.
Seeing Zhou Shu about to disappear into the sky, the Great Qin first-rank experts said in unison, “Farewell, Your Highness!”
Zhou Shu staggered and almost fell from the sky.
He picked up speed, and a moment later, he disappeared from view.
“Your Majesty…” Xu Shi came to the Qin emperor and bowed.
“Thank you for your hard work, Xu Shi,” the Qin emperor said.
“It’s because I didn’t do things properly that there are future troubles.” Xu Shi smiled bitterly. If he had been able to master the Iron Smelting Hands Technique in the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.
Now that Zhou Shu had personally come to Great Qin’s capital, no matter what, Great Qin had lost a lot of face this time.
He was secretly impressed. It was truly a stroke of genius for the emperor to confer Zhou Shu as a side-by-side king.
If it was known that an outsider had fought their way in from Hangu Pa.s.s to Great Qin’s capital, Great Qin would become a laughing stock.
But if it was Great Qin’s side-by-side king, it would be interesting.
“It’s not your fault.” The Qin emperor waved his hand. “However, you still have to deal with the matters of the Great Xia diplomatic mission. We can’t let the side-by-side king come and cause trouble for us again.”
“I understand.” Xu Shi nodded. “Do you have any instructions, Your Majesty?”
/ .
“Do as you see fit,” the Qin emperor said indifferently. “Money is not important. Just make the side-by-side king satisfied.”
…
Outside Hangu Pa.s.s, where the Great Xia diplomatic mission’s encampment….
Everyone was puzzled when they saw the guards of Great Qin’s Hangu Pa.s.s constantly carrying chests to the entrance of their camp.
The Great Xia diplomatic mission had been staying outside Hangu Pa.s.s for a period of time, and they met the Hangu Pa.s.s guards frequently.
But both sides were relatively restrained. As long as the Great Xia diplomatic mission didn’t try to break through the pa.s.s, Great Qin’s Hangu Pa.s.s guards would just pretend not to see them.
Unexpectedly, on this day, they actually crossed the border and placed chests at the entrance of the Great Xia diplomatic mission camp before turning around and returning.
During this period, they didn’t say a word. The Great Xia diplomatic mission had no idea what was going on.
Chen Ji came to Meng Bai’s side and whispered, “Great General?”
They didn’t dare move without knowing what was in the chests.
Meng Bai raised his head, and his gaze fell on General w.a.n.g Xin in Hangu Pa.s.s.
“This is my Great Qin’s explanation to the side-by-side king,” w.a.n.g Xin said.
“Side-by-side king?” Meng Bai frowned.
“Don’t ask me. I don’t know either.”
With that, w.a.n.g Xin rode back to his camp.
The Great Xia diplomatic mission looked at each other.
“Open them!” Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.
Chen Ji nodded and rode his horse to the chests. With a slash of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, a chest was cut into pieces.
Golden light dazzled, and gold spilled onto the ground.
This…
Heavy breathing sounded.
Many people stared blankly.
There had to be thousands of taels of gold all over the ground?
This was only one chest. There were several more chests here.
“Who is the side-by-side king? And what explanation?”
Meng Bai and the others were puzzled.
Zhou Shu didn’t know that the Great Qin military was faster than he was.
Of course, it was mainly because he wasn’t traveling at full speed.
After leaving Great Qin’s capital, he walked unhurriedly toward Hangu Pa.s.s. This time, no ignorant people jumped out to block his way, and he lost many opportunities to kill.
When he pa.s.sed by Hangu Pa.s.s, Zhou Shu didn’t see w.a.n.g Xin.
He wondered if he was deliberately avoiding him or something.
“Marquis!”
“Zhou Shu!”
As soon as Zhou Shu appeared, Yin Wuyou and the others rushed out of the camp to welcome him.
“Are you all right?” Yin Wuyou tugged at Zhou Shu’s sleeve and sized him up.
“I’m fine. Not even a scratch.” Zhou Shu smiled.
Only then did Yin Wuyou realize that she had lost her composure. She let go with a blush and hid behind Lu Wenshuang.
“You Marquis, you’re too impulsive.” Meng Bai smiled wryly.
Zhou Shu had managed to break into Great Qin alone because the Qin emperor was overconfident. If it were any other emperor, Zhou Shu would have probably faced an entire army.
Zhou Shu smiled. Meng Bai said this because he didn’t know him.
If they knew him, they would know that the last thing he feared was an army.
With his perfected Golden Bell Shield Technique, even if he couldn’t defeat an army, he could still escape.
“You’re right, Great General.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I couldn’t control myself for a moment and got hot-blooded.
“But fortunately, other than the Qin emperor, the other experts in Great Qin are only so-so.”
Meng Bai: “…”
Are you serious? The experts of Great Qin are only so-so?
Thinking of the achievements of the Great Destroyer Sword in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, Meng Bai felt that what he said made sense.
Although they were very curious, no one asked Zhou Shu why he was so strong.
