Chapter 191 A Big Fish, Great Qin General (1)
“The hair of a Great Qin general?” Shi Songtao warily looked at Zhou Shu, and his body involuntarily shifted backward.
He remembered that Zhou Shu had pulled a strand of his hair.
Does Marquis Zhou have a special fetish?
Shi Songtao’s body shifted backward again.
I must keep a distance from him in the future!
I was wondering why he was looking at me so strangely!
Zhou Shu didn’t notice Shi Songtao’s movements. He looked at Shi Songtao with a strange expression because when he first saw Shi Songtao, he had the feeling that he was mistaken.
Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique must not be used recklessly. If I use it too often, will I become a pervert?
Zhou Shu cursed in his heart.
“I have a use for it. Just tell me if you are able to get it,” Zhou Shu said. “This concerns whether we can achieve a complete victory on this diplomatic mission. If you can obtain it, I will give you big credit later!”
Shi Songtao frowned. Can a single strand of hair affect our victory?
Do you think I’m a three-year-old? I don’t believe you!
Suddenly, the expression on his face froze. He looked at Zhou Shu with fear in his eyes, and his body began to move once more.
“Marquis, are you trying to use black magic to control a person?”
According to the legends, there was black magic that could curse a person through their skin, hair, blood, and so on.
When he thought about how Zhou Shu had pulled a strand of his hair, Shi Songtao felt his entire body go numb. He wished that he could get farther and farther away from Zhou Shu.
“Marquis, I didn’t offend you!” Shi Songtao shouted.
Even though he had a small conflict with Zhou Shu in the beginning, they hadn’t completely fallen out.
Moreover, from then on, he never caused trouble for Zhou Shu again. Furthermore, ever since he joined the diplomatic mission, he had always been willing to do anything…
Without him, how could Zhou Shu be so relaxed?
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. In his dream, he had transformed into Shi Songtao for a year, so he had a deep understanding of him. With a single glance, he knew what Shi Songtao was thinking! “What are you thinking? I don’t know black magic. Even if I do, what makes you think you’re worth me casting black magic on?” Zhou Shu said. “Cut the crap. Just tell me if you can do it.”
“No!” Shi Songtao said firmly.
“If you can’t, then get lost!” Zhou Shu said unhappily. He didn’t have much of a good impression of this fellow who appeared to be serious on the surface but was actually indulging in debauchery every night. Shi Songtao walked out with a black face. Do you have to be so arrogant? You’re just a little more handsome than me, and your forging skills are a little better than mine, and your Martial Dao talent is a little bit stronger than mine.
So what?
If not for you, I, Shi Songtao, would be the main character!
Shi Songtao silently cursed in his head. I come from a prestigious family and was once the number one forging genius of Great Xia. Now, I’ve been reduced to a worker. Every day, I have to conscientiously handle the various miscellaneous tasks of the diplomatic mission…
Zhou Shu sent Shi Songtao away and returned to his tent to take a look. Yin Wuyou still hadn’t woken up and was lying on the couch like a sleeping beauty.
Lu Wenshuang was no longer guarding her. Instead, she returned to Zhou Shu’s side as a guard.
After confirming that Yin Wuyou’s life was no longer in danger, she naturally remembered her duty.
Seeing Yin Wuyou’s peaceful sleeping face, Zhou Shu finally pulled himself out of that dream.
This is reality. I am Zhou Shu!
How can Shi Songtao compare to me? How can those ordinary people by his side compare to my grand minister?
After walking out of the tent, Zhou Shu arrived in Meng Bai’s tent.
When Zhou Shu walked into Meng Bai’s tent, Meng Bai’s legs were covered by a blanket, and he was reading a book.
Seeing Zhou Shu walk in, he placed the book on his knees and said, “Is there something you need from me?”
In this diplomatic mission, in terms of status, other than Yin Wuyou, Meng Bai was the one with the highest status. Although he had stepped down from his position as the commander-in-chief of Great Xia’s three armies, he still had the title of a duke, which was one rank higher than Zhou Shu’s title.
But Meng Bai knew his place. In the diplomatic mission, he rarely appeared in front of everyone.
Even when it came to the diplomatic mission’s matters, he almost never interfered.
Most of the time, Meng Bai remained completely invisible. Occasionally, when Zhou Shu came to ask for his opinion, if it wasn’t a big deal, he wouldn’t interfere with Zhou Shu and the others’ decisions.
After Zhou Shu greeted Meng Bai, he sat down across from him and went straight to the point. “Great General, do you have any acquaintances in Great Qin?”
“Great Qin?” Meng Bai was a bit confused. “You Marquis, what do you want to do?
“I do know some people in Great Qin. However, if you want to inquire about the nine checkpoints, then don’t waste your energy.
“Great Qin is the most united of the ten countries. It’s difficult to obtain information from their people.”
“Can’t you find out? What if I talk to them?” Facing Meng Bai, Zhou Shu didn’t directly ask for someone else’s hair.
If he could see the higher-ups of Great Qin through Meng Bai, then Zhou Shu could do it himself.
In truth, if he wasn’t at Hangu Pass but at the capital of Great Qin, it would have been extremely easy for him to obtain the hair of the higher-ups of Great Qin.
But there weren’t many higher-ups of Great Qin here, and the only one here was probably the general that guarded the pass. It was not exactly appropriate to say he was guarding the pass.
