Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 178 If Marquis Zhou Can’t Do It, Then We Can Go Back Home (2)

Chen Ji snorted. Make way?

If they made way for them, the formation of the diplomatic mission’s guards would definitely be messed up. Once the formation was messed up, if the other party took advantage of the opportunity to attack, the guards would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Under such circumstances, how could Chen Ji give in?

“General Han, are you trying to sabotage the diplomatic relations between Great Xia and Great Liang?” Chen Ji said coldly.

“The situation is urgent. Anyone who obstructs our Great Liang’s army will be killed without mercy!” Han Dazhi shouted coldly.

“Say…” A voice suddenly sounded. “Instead of taking the time to quarrel, you would have long passed by if you took a detour.”

It was Zhou Shu who spoke.

He said to Han Dazhi, “If you want to pick a fight, just say it. Great Xia is not afraid.”

Han Dazhi’s face darkened. “Who are you? You have no right to speak here!”

“Impudent!” Chen Ji shouted angrily. “The person in front of you is Great Xia’s You Marquis, the official envoy. If you dare to be rude again, I will kill you right now!”

His saber intent soared into the sky. Chen Ji’s entire body seemed to have turned into a saber as his aura locked onto Han Dazhi.

Han Dazhi didn’t seem to have expected that the person who spoke in such a manner was actually the official envoy of Great Xia’s diplomatic mission. He frowned slightly.

“Let me ask you again. Are you going to give way or not?!” Han Dazhi shouted.

It wasn’t a big deal to take a detour, but to make way for the people of other countries within the territory of Great Liang was a big deal!

“The location of Great Xia’s diplomatic mission is the territory of Great Xia. The soldiers of Great Xia are still alive, and not a single inch of land has been lost!” Chen Ji said coldly. With a clang, everyone in the Great Xia diplomatic mission drew their sabers. A biting cold killing intent soared into the sky and seemed about to condense.

This was the first time Zhou Shu had seen thousands of people attack at the same time. He was amazed.

Thousands of sabers were already so imposing when they were unsheathed at the same time. What about tens of thousands? What about one hundred thousand?

No wonder the Country Protector Army was said to be the foundation stone of the country.

When the number of ordinary soldiers reached a certain level, even a first-rank expert would have to retreat!

Zhou Shu estimated that if he encountered an army of more than ten thousand soldiers, even he wouldn’t be able to face it head-on. He would only be able to rely on the Golden Bell Shield Technique to escape. To directly defeat an army of ten thousand soldiers, even if it was only the Country Protector Army, wasn’t something a single person could do.

Although first-rank martial artists had all sorts of mystical abilities, in the end, they also had mortal bodies.

Han Dazhi didn’t expect the Great Xia diplomatic mission to reject him like this. He felt like he was riding a tiger and couldn’t get off.

It would be embarrassing if they took a detour. If they didn’t take a detour, would they really fight with the Great Xia diplomatic mission?

Everyone was just bragging a little. How could they really fight?

“General Han, can you give me some face?” Suddenly, a voice came from the Great Xia diplomatic mission.

It wasn’t loud, and there were a few coughs in between.

But Han Dazhi was a ranked martial artist. With his sharp ears and eyes, he could still hear the voice.

“Speaking of which, your teacher Bao Bigong and I have some friendship.”

Han Dazhi’s expression was slightly startled as he blurted out, “Great General Meng?” contemporary romance

Meng Bai, the God of War of the Great Xia, was known by all soldiers, regardless of friend or foe.

“Has General Bao been well?” Meng Bai continued.

Han Dazhi seemed to be overwhelmed by this unexpected greeting. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for your concern, Great General Meng. My teacher has been well.”

His teacher, Bao Bigong, regardless of achievements, merit, or reputation, couldn’t compare to Meng Bai.

Meng Bai was a famous general of the ten countries. His teacher, Bao Bigong, was not even considered one of the top generals in Great Liang.

The two of them were on completely different levels.

Although they belonged to different countries, Han Dazhi, as a soldier, was in awe of an existence at the peak of military power.

To an existence like Meng Bai, one could hate him, could become enemies with him, but one could not disrespect him.

Anyone who had reached the pinnacle of his career was worthy of respect, be it friend or

foe.

“I didn’t know that you were part of the diplomatic mission, Great General Meng. Since you’ve spoken, I will naturally give you face. Otherwise, my teacher will punish me.”

Since there was a way out to avoid embarrassment, Han Dazhi naturally took the opportunity.

“Thank you, General Han.” Meng Bai’s voice was neither humble nor arrogant, like a calm flowing water.

“General Han, let me ask you something. Did something happen at Hangu Pass? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Perhaps because Meng Bai was a legendary figure, Han Dazhi’s attitude was much better than before.

“This has something to do with all of you.” He glanced at Chen Ji. “If it wasn’t for Great General Meng, I wouldn’t have told you. You dare to be so arrogant in the territory of Great Liang. It’s only because Great General Meng is here today. Otherwise…”

He snorted. This person was definitely a talkative person.

Chen Ji’s face was frosty, but he didn’t retort.

The great general had spoken. What he had to do was follow orders.

When Han Dazhi saw that Chen Ji didn’t dare to retort, a hint of pride flashed across his face. Then he said, “Great Qin has locked down Hangu Pass and forbade anyone from entering.”

“Oh? Not even the diplomatic missions?” Meng Bai asked in confusion.

Hangu Pass was the only way to enter and exit Great Qin. If people didn’t go through Hangu Pass, then they ould have to pass through the continuous mountain range. So it wasn’t a matter of wasting time but a matter of whether people were able to get to Great Qin.

Now that the other nine countries had sent diplomatic missions to Great Qin, what was the meaning of them sealing off Hangu Pass?

“Who knows,” Han Dazhi said. “I originally wanted to escort Great Liang’s diplomatic mission to Great Qin. But Great Qin has locked down Hangu Pass, and we can’t pass through. I heard from our envoy that Great Qin has set up a difficult problem at Hangu Pass. Only those who can answer it can pass. Otherwise, we will have to return home! “My envoy sent me to fetch someone from the capital. That’s why we’re so anxious.”

It was unknown whether Han Dazhi was shrewd or not, but he even said this.

But this wasn’t a secret. As long as Great Xia’s diplomatic mission arrived at Hangu Pass, they would definitely find out.

Great Liang’s diplomatic mission was unable to solve the problem that Great Qin had set up at Hangu Pass, so they had to return to the capital to seek help?

They were close by and could ask for help. The capital of Great Xia was too far away. If they went back and forth, everything would be delayed.

“General Han, do you know what kind of problem Great Qin has set up at Hangu Pass?”. Meng Bai asked.

Han Dazhi shook his head. “How would I know? I’m only responsible for protecting people. I don’t care about anything else.

“Great General Meng, we still have military matters to attend to, so I won’t say much more. We’ll meet again someday. Farewell!”

With a wave of his hand, Han Dazhi led the cavalry around the Great Xia diplomatic mission and galloped away.

It wasn’t until they were out of sight that Chen Ji had the guards at ease.

Zhou Shu looked regretfully in the direction where Han Dazhi’s cavalry had disappeared. If they had fought just now, Han Dazhi’s group would have died.

Zhou Shu wasn’t worried that there would be any problems with the diplomatic mission. Not to mention that the mission had more soldiers than Han Dazhi’s group, he could sense that the first-rank experts hiding in the dark were enough to make Han Dazhi’s group suffer.

If they really fought, Chen Ji and Yin Chengshan would definitely be able to kill off a bunch of people…

“Marquis, Great General, what should we do now?” Chen Ji said.

“Keep moving forward,” Zhou Shu said. “Don’t tell me we’re going home?”

“The marquis is the official envoy. He has the final say.” Meng Bai’s fatigue voice sounded from within the carriage.

“No matter what problems Great Qin has set up at Hangu Pass, it has something to do with forging. It shouldn’t be difficult for the marquis,” Meng Bai said. Great Qin already informed the various countries in advance that they would use a method related to forging to decide the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament this time. Regardless of how it was carried out, this would definitely not change.

Zhou Shu was Great Xia’s number one forging genius. In addition to Shi Songtao and the other Forging Masters, if they couldn’t solve the problem that Great Xia had set up at Hangu Pass, then even if they returned to Chang’an to ask for help, it would be useless.

In that case, the diplomatic mission could directly return home.
