Chapter 224 The Country Exists with the Cauldron, If The Cauldron Is Gone, The Country Will Perish (2)
But since she doesn’t mind, why should a man like me be afraid?
Just as Zhou Shu raised his hand and was about to pounce on Yin Wuyou like a hungry wolf…
Yin Wuyou whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Didn’t you ask me if I’ve heard of the imperial cauldrons before? I remember now!”
Zhou Shu’s raised hands suddenly froze. Grand Minister, you’re acting so ambiguously just to tell me this?
Do we need to talk about this in bed? Is the bed a place for discussing such matters?
Yin Wuyou sat cross-legged in front of Zhou Shu, her knees almost touching his knees. She leaned forward slightly, revealing her alluring curves in front of him.
“I might have seen it when I was young,” she whispered into his ear.
Zhou Shu knew that Yin Wuyou was afraid someone would eavesdrop, but this ambiguous atmosphere still made him involuntarily think about all sorts of things.
He leaned forward awkwardly.
“You did?” Zhou Shu tried his best to distract himself.
“I don’t really remember,” Yin Wuyou replied. “I didn’t even remember when you suddenly mentioned it. I just recalled it after thinking about it carefully. Our Great Xia does indeed have an imperial cauldron.
“When I was very young, I seemed to have heard my father talk about the imperial cauldron. He said that the imperial cauldron is the foundation of the country. The country exists with the cauldron. If the cauldron is gone, the country will perish.” “The country exists with the cauldron. If the cauldron is gone, the country will perish?” Zhou Shu said.
The name ‘imperial cauldron’ seemed to have something to do with the country. Originally, Zhou Shu had only thought of it as a symbol, just like the legendary imperial jade seal.
But these words held great significance.
The country wouldn’t perish if the imperial jade seal was lost.
Furthermore, this world was different from his previous life. These words were not just empty talk.
“Do you remember why the imperial cauldron is so important? Is it a kind of weapon?” Zhou Shu asked.
“All I know is that the imperial cauldron seems to be related to my father’s cultivation.” Yin Wuyou shook her head. “My father’s Martial Dao talent is actually average. His cultivation of the first rank is related to the imperial cauldron.
“Oh right, not only does Great Xia have an imperial cauldron, but other nations do too. The imperial cauldron of each nation seems to make a set.”
Yin Wuyou didn’t treat Zhou Shu as an outsider at all. She told Zhou Shu everything regarding the imperial family without reservation.
But she didn’t care much about this before, so she knew very little. Emperor Yuan Feng’s Martial Dao cultivation is related to the imperial cauldron?
Doesn’t that mean that the emperors of the various nations are all first-rank martial artists because they have an imperial cauldron?
If Great Qin’s imperial cauldron is damaged, will the cultivation of the Qin emperor be affected?
The reason Great Wei sent Shen Yue to cause the demonic beast outbreak was to test if the cultivation of the Qin emperor had decreased.
How do they know that Great Qin’s imperial cauldron is damaged?
Could the destruction of Great Qin’s imperial cauldron be related to Great Wei?
Countless questions flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind.
“Grand Minister, if the imperial cauldron is damaged, will His Majesty’s cultivation be affected?” Zhou Shu asked.
“Yes.” Yin Wuyou nodded. “It’s not just Father’s cultivation level. Father seemed to have said before that if something happened to the imperial cauldron, Great Xia would face a catastrophe.”
“I understand,” Zhou Shu muttered. He understood why Meng Bai wanted him to leave Great Qin immediately.
It was likely that Meng Bai also guessed that something might have happened to Great Qin’s imperial cauldron through what had happened earlier.
If something really did happen to Great Qin’s imperial cauldron, they would be facing a calamity.
What sort of force would be capable of annihilating Great Qin? It was definitely not something that a mere Great Xia diplomatic mission could withstand.
If we can’t leave Great Qin before this incident occurs, then I’m afraid…
“You understand?” Yin Wuyou was a bit puzzled. She didn’t even understand what was going on with the imperial cauldrons, yet Zhou Shu already understood?
“Grand Minister, you don’t have to think about the imperial cauldrons for now,” Zhou Shu said. “The great general wants us to leave Great Qin immediately. Prepare yourself with Deputy Envoy Lu. We’ll leave at daybreak tomorrow!”
No matter what happened to Great Qin, Zhou Shu had no intention of risking his life in Great Qin.
He had nothing to do with the Great Qin Empire. There was no need for him to stay here and be buried with Great Qin.
But it was different from what Great General Meng had imagined. Not only did Zhou Shu want to leave, but he would also bring the Great Xia diplomatic mission with him!
He didn’t need anyone to cover his retreat, especially an old man who planned to sacrifice himself to do so!
They had come here openly, so he didn’t believe that Great Qin would be able to detain them.
“We’re leaving tomorrow?” Yin Wuyou was somewhat surprised.
“Don’t ask why. I don’t know why either,” Zhou Shu said, “Since the great general has said that our mission in Great Qin is completed, it doesn’t matter if we leave sooner.
“Tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to bid farewell to the Qin emperor. Prepare to leave.”
When Yin Wuyou returned to the outer room, Lu Wenshuang sized her up with a strange expression.
“Little Senior Sister Lu, why are you looking at me like that?” Yin Wuyou looked at her doubtfully.
“That’s it? Is he impotent?” Lu Wenshuang said in her pleasant voice.
“What?” Yin Wuyou was stunned for a moment. The next moment, she turned into a fierce little kitten and pounced into Lu Wenshuang’s arms.
Hearing the noise outside, Zhou Shu shook his head. He took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.
This porcelain bottle contained the blood of the demonic beast that had fallen from the sky earlier.
The beast’s blood came from the existence who had battled against the Qin emperor!
Zhou Shu had seen it with his own eyes. Every drop of the beast blood had fallen like a meteor, creating deep craters in the ground. He had seized the opportunity and obtained a drop of blood.
Although it was just a small drop, this drop of blood was even heavier than an ordinary adult!
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Shu placed the beast’s blood back.
The Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique could also be used with blood.
With this beast blood, Zhou Shu could use the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique to go back to the past year… The method was to transform into the other party in a dream!
Although it was a little awkward to transform into a human in a dream, it was still acceptable.
But to transform into a demonic beast…
What if that demonic beast was like Shi Songtao, unable to spend a night without a woman…
Zhou Shu shuddered at the thought of it. He was afraid that he would be traumatized. He hadn’t even gotten married yet!
The demonic beast isn’t much weaker than the Qin emperor. How did Great Wei manage to control a demonic beast with cultivation of at least the first rank?
A first-rank demonic beast’s intelligence was no weaker than a human’s. It wouldn’t be easily controlled. Zhou Shu couldn’t figure out how Shen Yue, or perhaps Great Wei, did it.
Just as the Great Xia diplomatic mission was preparing to leave, in the Qin Palace, the Qin emperor sat on the dragon throne with an ugly expression.
In front of him, in the main hall, heads were rolling
All the members of Great Wei’s diplomatic mission had been killed, including Great Wei’s official envoy, Shen Yue.
He had killed them all, but he didn’t get any information he wanted.
These people from Great Wei’s diplomatic mission were like death warriors. They would commit suicide immediately after being interrogated.
Even when the Qin emperor personally took action, he was unable to stop Shen Yue from committing suicide. This made him very upset.
“Xu Shi,” the Qin emperor said solemnly. “How’s the situation with the imperial cauldron?”
“Not very good,” Xu Shi said seriously. “Your Majesty forcefully used the imperial cauldron earlier…”
“Will it be able to last until the end of this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?” the Qin emperor interrupted Xu Shi. He had a firm personality and wouldn’t regret what had happened. Even if it happened again, he would still do the same.
“I’ll do my best.” Xu Shi bowed.
“Your Majesty, the marquis of Great Xia’s You Prefecture, Zhou Shu, has a secret divine art known as the Iron Smelting Hands. If I can obtain the aid of the Iron Smelting Hands, I am confident that the imperial cauldron will be able to hold on for a period of time.”
“Go and exchange with him,” the Qin emperor said, “Gold, silver, jewelry, a high rank, generous rewards, let him name his price!”
