Chapter 284: The Hunt Rises, Border Affairs

The decoration of the imperial study is naturally very luxurious.

Although there are no complicated decorations here, every decoration is extremely exquisite.

Whether it is flowers or plants, or a porcelain vase, it can show the royal luxury from the side.

And it was in such an atmosphere that Zhou An's face became more and more solemn.

There is no other reason, it is because of the letter in Zhou An's hand.

After Zhou An read all the letters, he slowly put the letter in his hand on the table.

"How?" Emperor Xingwu saw Zhou An's expression and asked.

"Shameless." Zhou An said two words simply.

As if he didn't think it was enough, he added two more words: "Kill." โ€

The content of the letter is actually very simple, it was sent by Emperor Fengteng to the emperor of the barbarian country.

When Emperor Xingwu heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right, it's the same as you said, but I really didn't expect that the Great Qi Kingdom, the oldest country, would collude with the kind of bed bugs of the barbarian country." โ€

"The Great Qi Kingdom and the Barbarian State, I'm afraid that they have already colluded."

"What do you think, how about feints to attack the barbarian country and point the sword at the Great Qi country?"

Zhou An continued: "You need to pretend that you don't know, it's very difficult. โ€

But the crux of the matter is that at the end of the letter, the word support is mentioned.

Zhou An touched his chin and said, "I think, you can fight." โ€

Emperor Xingwu said lightly: "I and Emperor Yunqi's plan was originally to make the barbarian country suffer heavy losses this time. โ€

This is what he thinks.

That's the most important point.

When these words came out, everyone present fell silent, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"The letter was lost, but it didn't really come to us, Emperor Fengteng didn't know."

In Zhou An's opinion, no matter how powerful the Great Qi Kingdom is, it will not be able to withstand the attacks of the two countries.

In fact, it is no secret that the matter of sending troops is no longer a secret.

As long as Emperor Feng Teng thinks that they don't know about this matter, then everything is naturally simple.

The national teacher muttered: "But I also have to think of a problem, the letter of the Great Qi Kingdom was lost, if Emperor Fengteng knew it, he would definitely be suspicious." โ€

Emperor Xingwu nodded and said, "Yes, Zhou An, what do you think?" โ€

When the time comes, it is difficult to guess what kind of means Emperor Fengteng will make.

What this represents, Zhou An knows very well.

The general meaning is that this time Emperor Yunqi sent troops, and the Great Qi Congress secretly supported the barbarians, so that the barbarians would not suffer heavy losses.

When this sentence came out, Gonggong Wei and the others also looked at it.

"But this method of secret support of the Great Qi Kingdom, I feel that it should be done in a different way."

"Second, even if the Great Qi State doesn't support the barbarian country, I'm afraid it won't be able to resist the two countries."

Emperor Fengteng told the barbarian emperor about sending troops.

Even if the Great Qi State is strong, when the forces of the Great Chu State and the Great Yue State are combined, it can also have an earth-shaking effect.

"At that time, I'm afraid that I won't necessarily lend people to the barbarians." The Director-General added.

This is indeed a fatal problem.

Gonggong Wei thought for a while and said, "What do we think, do you want to look at the movements of the Great Qi Kingdom first?" โ€

The words fell, and Emperor Xingwu looked at Zhou An.

Knowing the other party's actions, what should you do on your side, this is the most important thing.

Emperor Feng Teng knew that the letter was lost, and that was an ironclad matter.

"Feasible." The prime minister said first.

Zhou An said slowly: "I'm afraid it's a matter of resources, and the two countries also collude, otherwise why can the Great Qi Kingdom open its mouth?" โ€

If you want to attack the barbarian country, you need to cross the Great Qi country, if you suddenly turn your head when you cross the Great Qi country, you will give the Great Qi country a fatal blow.

"How to act, it depends on the side of Da Yue Country, whether you dare or not."

Everyone is not stupid, and they already know what the basis of Emperor Xingwu is.

"It seems that the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom has made a good choice."

Zhou An asked, "How does Your Majesty plan to act?" โ€

"First, the barbarian country is very far away from the Great Qi country, and it is too late to support the Great Qi country."

As mentioned in the letter, the Great Qi Congress secretly gave support to the barbarian state.

And this supports the barbarian country, and the Great Qi country will lose manpower, and correspondingly, the Great Qi country will have fewer people.

Everyone also turned their gazes.

But it's really hard to install.

"Yes, that's what I think."

Emperor Xingwu said slowly: "When the time comes, you will send people to send the letter to the Great Yue Kingdom first, and then to Zongxing." โ€

Vertical?

Zhou An was slightly stunned.

"Hehe, these days, who doesn't plant spies on each other?"

Emperor Xingwu said slowly: "I am on the vertical side, there are also people, but they are not high-level. โ€

"Find a good reason, through the spies, bring the letter, in this way, Zongxing will naturally look for the Great Qi Kingdom."

"Then, the Great Qi Kingdom will face two problems."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xingwu smiled.

"First, the threat of indulgence, he will deal with indulgence, because faith must not be exposed."

"Second, it will dispel doubts and make Emperor Fengteng feel at ease."

"This move can not only confront each other between the Zong and the Great Qi State, but also distract the Great Qi State, and even more crack down on the Zong."

"Killing two birds with one stone, I don't believe that the Great Qi Kingdom will not die, and at that time, the barbarian country will also be wiped out with a snap of a finger."

Zhou An couldn't help but sweat as he listened.

Should I say it or not, this emperor has been sitting for a long time, and he is really a little ruthless.

This plan is really old-fashioned.

In this way, it even made a lot of indulgence.

If the longitudinal leader is here, he will definitely look confused.

I didn't do anything, and you came to me, it's just against the sky.

"Seconded."

Gonggong Wei and the others glanced at each other and felt that this matter was feasible.

Emperor Xingwu looked at Zhou An again and said, "This trip passes through the Great Qi Kingdom, you are afraid that you have to be careful." โ€

Of course Zhou An knows.

The reason for being careful is actually very simple.

Originally, everyone had the same goal, including the Great Qi Kingdom.

But now that the Great Qi State and the Barbarian State are colluding, then the matter will not be simple.

Passing through the Great Qi Country, I don't know what will happen, and everything cannot be guaranteed.

It's not a big problem, though.

Zhou Anxin thought, I still have my aunt behind, just find my aunt if you don't decide something.

"In that case, then I'll take my leave."

The matter has ended, and Zhou An has no intention of staying.

The hunt was about to begin at this time, Zhou An returned to the room and began to prepare patiently.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.

The hunt is coming.

At this time, many of the masters of the All-Saint Realm were already ready to go.

Zhou An paced slowly, and with the black jade, came to this clearing.

With the arrival of Zhou An, above the open space, many masters of the All-Holy Realm turned their eyes on it.

"I've seen Lord Zhou!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

At this time, many masters of the All-Holy Realm were excited.

Zhou An's methods have completely convinced them.

Facing Zhou An's lookaround, everyone straightened their backs.

Zhou An nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go!" โ€

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed and replied in unison.

The crowd began to leave the palace.

Zhou An took the black jade, turned his head, looked at the red wall glazed tiles behind him, glanced at it lightly, and left the capital.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Xinxian is an extremely distant border county in the Great Chu State.

It's sparsely populated, but it's good that there are still people living there.

Patches of buildings that are extremely rich in local characteristics and different from other counties stand here.

Although there are few people, the style is like a hazy rainy night, but it adds a bit of artistic conception.

At this time, at the entrance to the city in Xinxian, a large number of people dressed differently gathered.

Some of these people are a little older, about seventy or eighty years old, and some are a little younger.

But the youngest are all middle-aged.

The leader is a man and a woman, and they are both young people.

Both men and women are dressed in black and have an extraordinary momentum.

The young man is handsome, especially the momentum on his body, which makes people dare not approach.

The woman is beautiful and has a delicate figure.

Especially the woman's body, with a fascinating sense of taboo, want to get closer, but afraid of being hurt by this taboo.

But if you look closely, you will see that the woman's face always has that ...... Silly.

The mixture of stupidity and taboo makes this girl in black even more eye-catching.

"Lord Zhou, start here and spread to the entire Great Chu Kingdom."

Behind Zhou An, a middle-aged man from the All-Holy Realm stepped forward.

This is a martial artist from the Great Chu State, named Zheng Quan, who is good at purple and gold double hooks in one hand, and is also a well-known boss in the rivers and lakes.

But when facing Zhou An, he seemed very restrained, as if he was a junior.

When he first played in the martial arts battle, Zhou An had fully revealed his strength, and among the many masters of the All-Holy Realm, none of them were unconvinced.

Because of this, even Zheng Quan, as a big man, is extremely respectful to Zhou An at this time.

Zhou An nodded and said, "In this way, you can start." โ€

What is the hunt is to clear the surroundings of each county into an absolutely safe zone.

According to the planning of each country, it is about 3,000 miles around each city.

This kind of distance may be extremely far away for ordinary people, but for people in the line, it is close at hand.

"Yes!"

Zheng Quan and the others have also participated in the hunt, so they are very familiar with each other.

With Zheng Quan's promise, many of the masters of the All-Saint Realm all left quickly.

As for Zhou An, he stayed in Xinxian.

He is the leader, he sits in the city, and he can make sure that at all times, he is the closest to go anywhere.

It's like a circle, and it's the center of the middle.

As for how to ensure it, it's also very simple.

This time, in everyone's hand, there is a special signal talisman, which is refined by a Dao Sect master.

When you encounter something you can't handle, you send a signal symbol, and the signal symbol will turn into a flash of fire and go straight into the sky, even if it is extremely far away, you can easily understand it.

This kind of rune paper is extremely expensive, and if it weren't for the hunt, it would never be made in large quantities.

Zhou An waited until these masters left, and there was nothing to do in this city, so he took the black jade and went shopping.

Although Xinxian County is only an inhumane small county town, smaller than Anding County, for Zhou An, appreciating the foreign customs is also something he likes very much.

On the streets, the vendors sell items with the characteristics of the new county.

For example, pot rice.

This thing looks like a pot, but with some side dishes in it, it tastes unique when you put some side dishes in it and hold it between the pots.

"Are you concerned?"

Zhou An looked at the pot in Heiyu's hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Buy a pot of rice, you still let someone else carve you like me, did you see the eyes of the people just now?" โ€

At this time, the pot in Heiyu's hand was already in the shape of Zhou An.

The peddler can't carve, but the black jade does.

"Click!"

The black clothes bit off the position of the head of the pot in one bite, which made Zhou An chill.

"It's delicious, you eat it too."

As he spoke, Heiyu fed the pot rice to Zhou An's mouth.

Zhou An didn't mind, took a bite, and felt that in addition to the shape being a little easy to make people feel painful, it was actually very delicious.

When Heiyu saw Zhou An eating his own things, he smiled even more happily, and his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

"If you want to talk about our new county, the most famous is Xinting."

The street vendor said, raising his head very proudly: "Back then, among the heroes who died in the battle for the Great Chu State, the heroes of our new county were not small, and a monument was specially built in Xinting. โ€

Zhou An saw that the vendor was so excited, so he also took the black jade and walked towards the new pavilion.

Look at the style of the predecessors, appreciate the posture of the present, and focus on the future changes.

Swimming, is to swim a mentality and perception.

Besides, it's true that I haven't taken black jade around for a long time, so it's okay to play today.

There is not much distance from the stall to the new pavilion.

However, before arriving, Zhou An found an interesting story on the side of the road.

A young man, dressed in a cloth robe, was practicing his sword technique, and his demeanor looked extremely serious.

From Zhou An's point of view, the young man's knife skills are very clumsy, but the young man has entered the realm of a third-rate master.

"You ......"

The young man also saw Zhou An, his face full of doubts.

Zhou An pointed to the knife and said with a smile: "It's okay, just look at your knife technique, what's your name?" โ€

"Ku Ding unravels the sheep knife!" The young man looked proud.

Zhou An's eyes widened directly: "What is it?" โ€

He felt as if he had misheard.

Because when he listened to it, he felt that this name was so familiar, and if he thought about it carefully, wasn't it just one word different from his own Ding Jieren knife?

"Ku Ding unravels the sheep knife!"

The young man said proudly: "This knife technique is named after the sword technique of our Great Chu Kingdom Lord Zhou. โ€

"Lord Zhou can rise from a small county town all the way to today's double sword, and so can I!"

"One day, I want to go out of Xinxian County and become a well-known little Zhou An on the rivers and lakes!"

While talking, the young man was still dancing with a knife, as if he was Zhou An.

Zhou An suddenly smiled: "Very good, ambitious." โ€

He suddenly felt as if he had seen himself from this young man.

The difference is that when he was in Anding County, he seemed to have killed all the enemies around him in order to save his life, but this young man didn't seem to have any worries about this.

I have no choice but to do it, I really have to do it, after all, he is not a murderer.

If you come to provoke me, I can only reluctantly kill you all.

"Your knife technique, there are some small flaws, you give me the knife." Zhou An said with a smile.

The young man was stunned, and the ghost sent the god to hand the knife to Zhou An.

Zhou An received it in his hand, waved it twice casually, and tried the weight.

At this moment, Zheng Quan came to Zhou An's side from a distance.

Zhou An turned around and said, "Your business, are you done?" โ€

"Yes." Zheng Quan agreed.

Not only him, but many masters of the All-Holy Realm came to Zhou An's side one after another.

This is just a small county town, and it is natural for the masters of the Holy Realm to make a move.

Young people are also blindsided.

He found that dozens of people behind Zhou An seemed to be very respectful.

"This person, could it be that some rich kid came to this small county town to play?" The young man thought to himself.

Zhou An turned his head and said, "You see, these places need to be changed." โ€

The long knife was waved by Zhou An.

After a few moments, a set of knife techniques was formed.

The young man's sword technique just now was not in the stream, but Zhou An's set of tricks was regarded as the treasure of a small force in the rivers and lakes.

One law is clear, ten thousand laws are smooth.

There is a kitchen knife to solve people, and it is not difficult for Zhou An to create a knife method casually.

"How much to remember?" Zhou An asked.

The young man reacted: "Half." โ€

"That's enough."

Zhou An smiled: "Enough for you." โ€

Half of it is enough, how much can be comprehended, it all depends on the life of the young man, after all, it is just Zhou An who does it casually.

"Lord Zhou, do you need to hurry?" Zheng Quan glanced at the young man with a look of envy.

With the advice of Master Zhou, this young man is afraid that he is going to take off on the spot.

Zhou An walked towards Xinting: "At first, I just wanted to go shopping, but now it seems that there are people waiting for me in Xinting, so it's okay to go and see." โ€

Under the glance of the Eye of Chaos, Zhou An had already seen the situation in the new pavilion.

Although many were puzzled, they still followed Zhou An and soon disappeared at the end.

The young man had a knife in his hand, and his whole body was like wood.

In his mind, there were only three words echoing - Lord Zhou!

In this Great Chu State, there are many Zhou adults, but there is only one Zhou Lord who uses a knife.

The young man's face quickly turned red, as if he was so excited that he was about to explode.

That is his idol, the idol of the entire crowd with knives, and the pride of the Great Chu Kingdom!

The young man never expected to meet Zhou An here.

His mood at the moment was already trembling with excitement, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"I will definitely walk out of the new county and become the second Zhou An!"

The young man shouted loudly.

The people passing by around glanced at the young man with the eyes of the mentally retarded.

On the streets, quiet again returned, but the young man's knife was more stable.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Lord Zhou, that kid's talent is okay, haven't you considered receiving it by your side?" Zheng Quan asked with a smile: "It's also good to be a personal guard." โ€

Zhou An shook his head: "I didn't think about it, I just did it casually." โ€

Zheng Quan sighed with emotion: "Being able to get the teachings of Lord Zhou is only a blessing for his life." โ€

Zhou An smiled and didn't say anything more.

It was just an episode, and it didn't make any difference to him.

At this time, it was getting closer and closer to the new pavilion, and Zhou An also saw the situation of the new pavilion.

The new pavilion, as the place where the new county is used to commemorate the heroes of the Great Chu State, is much higher in style than the surrounding buildings.

The pavilion stands on a green lawn surrounded by small hills and secluded streams.

The mountain breeze blows and the water murmurs, making people feel incomparably fresh and peaceful.

The pavilion is built in a graceful and quaint style, with a fine structure around it, and the roof is octagonal and paved with black glazed tiles, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

The pillars are made of stone, which is lifelike and exudes a thick atmosphere, which makes people feel at ease.

The surrounding flowers and trees are sparse and the grass is green, which adds a natural and fresh atmosphere.

And in the middle of the new pavilion, a stone monument is erected.

On the stone stele, it is like a knife and axe carving, depicting one small name after another.

Densely packed and extremely numerous.

The feeling of simplicity and desolation emanates from the stone tablets, especially those names, when the origin of the names is known, it is even more awe-inspiring.

In addition to this, there is a stone table, four stone benches.

At this time, on the stone bench, there was an old man with gray hair.

The white-haired old man looked old and wrinkled, but his eyes gave people a sense of vitality.

Although he was dressed in an ordinary cloth dress, when he wore it on the white-haired old man, it made people feel that it was both fitting and in line with his temperament.

The most surprising thing is the right hand of the white-haired old man.

That hand had only three fingers, and it looked extremely terrifying.

Where there are no fingers, the wound is flat, as if it was cut by a sharp object.

On the stone table, there was a pot of tea, and the white-haired old man was sipping it carefully.

When Zhou An arrived, he raised his right hand.

Zheng Quan and the others knew it in their hearts, so they waited outside.

However, their eyes always stayed on the white-haired old man, and as long as the white-haired old man made the slightest move, they would immediately take action.

Zhou An walked into the new pavilion, sat opposite the white-haired old man, looked at the tea on the table, and said lightly: "Waiting for me?" โ€

When teaching young people swordsmanship, Zhou An felt the difference in this new pavilion.

The white-haired old man is a master.

In the new county, it is impossible for such a master to appear.

Coupled with the fact that I happen to be here again, the result is self-evident.

The white-haired old man put down the teacup, looked directly at Zhou An, and said, "Yes and no, Lord Zhou's identity is worth waiting for the old man, but the person the old man is waiting for is not Lord Zhou." โ€

Zhou An touched his chin and said, "Who are you?" โ€

"The old man's name is Bai Feng, and the rivers and lakes are known as the eight-fingered old man, and he is the master of the Flame Gate."

Bai Feng said slowly: "Flame Gate, good at flame manipulation. โ€

Zhou An nodded: "People from the miscellaneous sect, what is the matter when they come to me?" โ€

Bai Feng shook his head and said, "The old man said that he didn't come to find Lord Zhou. โ€

Zhou An raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

Isn't this Bai Feng really here because he is making trouble?

But if that's the case, why after seeing him, he looked calm, as if he knew that he would come.

When Zhou An thought so, Bai Feng made a move.

I saw Bai Feng pour a cup of tea, and then he actually crossed Zhou An and pushed it from the table to Heiyu.

Bai Feng's face was solemn.

"The old man came here today for this girl, girl, the old man is a little puzzled and wants the girl to solve his doubts." Bai Feng said with a solemn face.
