Chapter 204 The way out
Chapter 204 The way out
"legend?"
Zhou Chuxuan was stunned: "Please elaborate!"
"There's nothing much to elaborate on. I know very little!" Qimuge put away the badge, a look of nostalgia in his eyes. "When I was little, my grandfather once took me out to sea, and we saw a misty island in the distance by the sea!"
"Grandpa said that a merchant caravan from the Wu Dynasty once entered this island and never came out again! And since then, no one has been able to enter this island again!"
Zhou Chuxuan waved out the window, indicating that the army in front could set off.
Outside the carriage, Murong Xue looked at Zhou Chuxuan sitting inside and talking with Qimugege, and her eyes unconsciously showed a hint of sadness, and she felt a little depressed.
Ma Sandao, who was walking behind, scratched his head and said, "Brother, why do I feel like General Murong is in a bit of a bad mood today?"
Han Bin looked at Ma Sandao as if he were a fool: "Second brother, how about I find you a woman to start a family with? You are really lacking in this aspect!"
Unexpectedly, Ma Sandao, who always talked about being lustful towards women, shook his head like a rattle: "No, no! I only have my big brother to accompany me, and I am content!"
Han Bin's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He turned around and looked at Ma Sandao in shock: "Second brother, I remember that my eldest brother didn't sin against you, right?"
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
"..."
On the other side, on Lotus Mountain, Su Hongye and others had been tortured to the point of being terribly miserable. Many of them wanted to bite their tongues to commit suicide but were unable to do so.
Their mouths were stuffed with linen cloth, and they were given water and food at regular intervals to ensure that they would not die.
Zhou Wuhen stood on a tree branch not far away, looking at Su Hongye, who was tied naked to the tree, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, I really am a genius!"
"Wuhen, what are you doing there?"
Suddenly, Zhou Wanjiang's voice came from below.
If Zhou Chuxuan and others saw him, they would be frightened by Zhou Wanjiang's current appearance. His bones were outside and his flesh was inside. He looked as thin as a skeleton.
If he hadn't been holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand, no one would have recognized that this was Zhou Wanjiang.
Zhou Wuhen laughed and said, "Brother, that brat Zhou Chuxuan is really capable. He was able to annihilate 600,000 Liao troops in the capital with just a few tricks, and they didn't even get into the inner city!"
"I have to say, brother, why don't you just abdicate and let someone else take over? Under his leadership, the Wu Dynasty seems to be doing quite well!"
Zhou Wanjiang fiercely plunged the Emperor's Sword into the ground beside him and sat down on the ground, feeling a little discouraged. "Hmph, if he has some skills, then he has some skills. As long as he doesn't hinder my business, I can consider letting him go in the future!"
"Haha, brother, you're really a bit optimistic. We're trapped on Lotus Mountain now. We can't even contact those 600,000 Western Region troops. How can we still talk about letting them go?"
Zhou Wanjiang looked at Zhou Wuhen squatting on the tree branch, and was so angry that he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him: "Why do you always boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige today? I am the Martial Emperor, the master of the Martial Dynasty. I was, I am, and I will be in the future. When I get the true secret of immortality, I will have no worries about not having enough time to kill them!"
Seeing his brother acting like a madman, Zhou Wanjiang shook his head, jumped down from the tree branch, and walked down the mountain.
Soon, two black-armored guards came up to him and said, "Sir, there are more and more people coming down the mountain. I think Zhou Chuxuan has arrived. What should we do?"
Zhou Wuhen pushed aside the branches and looked at the troops stationed at the foot of the mountain. He sneered, "These people are not scary, they are just a mob. What is scary is the weapon in Zhou Chuxuan's hand!"
"Equality for All, what a great name! I've already had King Jin research the production of these things, but unfortunately there's been no results so far!"
"Hey, sir, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that Zhou Wuhen was going down the mountain, the black-armored guard next to him immediately stopped him.
Zhou Wuhen frowned and said, "Go back to your own posts. What qualifications do you have to control me?"
"Yes!"
Watching the black-armored guards retreat, a solemn look flashed across Zhou Wuhen's eyes.
During the time he was away from Lotus Mountain, he seemed to feel the changes in the Black Armor Guards.
The previous Black Armored Guards had no personal feelings at all. They would only obey their master's orders and would never take the initiative to talk to him.
"Brother, I really don't understand. Between brothers like us, why do you need to be on guard against me? Haha!"
Zhou Wuhen shook his head and sneered. He knew in his heart that these little tricks were all done by his brother Zhou Wanjiang, but he didn't care.
"Captain, a man has come down from the mountain and is standing in front of our camp. He wants to see you!"
After listening to his subordinates' report, Nangong Yanling stood up and went outside. He looked at Zhou Wuhen with a hint of surprise between his brows: "Mr. Thousand Faces, Zhou Wuhen?"
"Hey, Miss Nangong Yanling from Jiulong Mountain, she really has a discerning eye for talent!"
Zhou Wuhen walked in step by step despite being surrounded by swords and knives, as if he didn't care at all whether he was walking into the enemy camp or not.
Seeing his fearless look, Nangong Yanling waved his hands around, signaling the soldiers to put down their swords.
She knew that with Zhou Wuhen's methods, they could not kill him.
"Miss Nangong is really smart. She knows these things are useless to me!"
Zhou Wuhen smiled, sitting aside by himself, picking up a glass of water and drinking it all in one gulp: "I came here specifically to leave a way out for myself!"
"A way out?"
Nangong Yanling looked at Zhou Wuhen in surprise. She naturally knew what a retreat meant. To put it bluntly, it meant surrendering in secret.
However, Zhou Wuhen is known as the Young Master of a Thousand Faces. Unless he wants to die, it would be difficult to catch him even if a tight net is set up. Moreover, he has been traveling around the world for so many years, and he must have accumulated a lot of power behind him.
How could you compromise so easily?
Seeing that Nangong Yanling didn't believe him, Zhou Wuhen placed a military token on the table: "This is the military token for mobilizing 600,000 troops in the Western Regions!"
"Only half, the other half is in Zhou Wanjiang's hands!"
Nangong Yanling's pupils suddenly shrank. She naturally knew the value of this military token.
"Although it's only half, you are already qualified to enter that valley. You can go talk to their head coach Zhang Baitian!"
Zhou Wuhen yawned, seeming to be a little sleepy. He squinted his eyes and lay down on the bed in the tent: "This is all I can do. I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap first!"
