Chapter 177 If Marquis Zhou Can’t Do It, Then We Can Go Back Home (1)

“Marquis, we are about to enter the borders of Great Liang. We will be able to reach Hangu Pa.s.s in about ten days after we go through Great Liang.”

Chen Ji was fully armored, and he held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand. He urged his horse to walk beside Zhou Shu and pointed ahead.

When he heard the familiar name of the place, Zhou Shu was somewhat stunned.

But he knew that although some places had similar names to his previous life, this world had nothing to do with his previous life. Everything was just a coincidence.

Along the way, although Zhou Shu didn’t have much interest in political geography, what he heard and saw with his eyes gave him a deeper understanding of this world and the situation of the ten nations.

Great Xia was located in the southeastern part of the continent. To the north of it was Great Wei, to the south was a continuous mountain range, to the east was the Endless Sea, to the west was Great Liang, and farther west was Great Qin.

Great Qin was powerful, but it was actually not a big threat to Great Xia. If it wanted to threaten Great Xia, it had to first destroy Great Liang

But Great Liang wasn’t a weak nation, and unless Great Qin mobilized all its forces, it was impossible to destroy Great Liang.

Of the two countries bordering Great Xia, Great Wei was an enemy nation, but it had a rather good relationship with Great Liang.

This was why the diplomatic mission had to go through Great Liang.

If they didn’t go through Great Liang, they would have to go through Great Wei. This would be troublesome.

“Will there be any problems with Great Liang’s Imperial Court?” Zhou Shu asked casually.

“There shouldn’t be,” Chen Ji said. “We’ve already submitted a letter of state in advance. Great Liang agreed to let us go through.”

Of course, it was impossible for three thousand people to pa.s.s through without making a sound.

Zhou Shu could sense that there were scouts watching them from afar. This was normal.

Any other country would do it.

“Tell everyone to speed up and pa.s.s through Great Liang as soon as possible.” Zhou Shu nodded.

Although Great Xia had already informed Great Liang’s Imperial Court in advance, Zhou Shu still decided that they should pa.s.s through as soon as possible. The longer he stayed in their territory, the more worried they would be.

He might as well pa.s.s through as soon as possible. After all, the destination of this diplomatic mission was Great Qin.

Chen Ji had the same idea and urged his horse to inform the team to speed up.

After traveling like this for several days, they didn’t encounter any ignorant people who came looking for trouble.

Who would seek death when there were two thousand armed soldiers?

Just as the diplomatic mission of Great Xia was about to leave the borders of Great Liang and Hangu Pa.s.s was already in sight, an accident happened. Smoke and dust rose in front of them, and even the ground was shaking slightly, as if a large number of cavalry were galloping.

“General Chen!” Zhou Shu shouted.

He wasn’t the only one who noticed the commotion. Chen Ji also noticed it.

Chen Ji urged his horse forward and shouted. “Everyone, get ready!”

Lu Wenshuang also moved a bit closer to Zhou Shu, and her body was faintly emitting a sharp aura.

Only in the carriage at the rear of the group, the carriage driver was sitting steadily on the carriage. Meng Bai, inside the carriage, didn’t move at all. It was as if they didn’t hear the commotion at all.

The two thousand guards had already formed a circle, protecting Zhou Shu and the others in the center. Their blades pointed outward as they prepared for battle.

Just as they got into position, a large group of cavalry appeared in front of them.

There were no less than a thousand mounted soldiers, all of them fully armed.

“Halt!” Chen Ji had already raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and pointed it forward.

“This is the diplomatic mission of Great Xia. If you take another step closer, we will treat you as our enemy. You will bear the consequences!”

Boom!

Chen Ji’s body erupted with a powerful saber intent, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade glowed brightly.

Worker, are you starting work now? Zhou Shu was not nervous at all. Instead, he was looking forward to the battle.

He had forged the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Chen Ji’s hand. If Chen Ji killed enemies, he would receive benefits.

“Stop!”

When the opposing cavalry was still some distance away from the Great Xia diplomatic mission, a loud shout resounded, and the cavalry stopped their horses.

“Don’t worry! We mean no harm!” A general rode out.

“Identify yourself! Chen Ji remained unmoved. He pointed his Green Dragon Crescent Blade forward steadily.

“Great Liang’s Flying Bear Army, Han Dazhi.” The cavalry general opposite raised his voice and cupped his hands at Chen Ji, indicating that he was unarmed. Chen Ji still didn’t put down his saber. Great Xia’s diplomatic mission behind him also didn’t put down their weapons.

“So, it’s General Han,” Chen Ji said. “Please forgive me for my lack of manners. May I know why you are here?”.

Chen Ji’s eyes shone brightly as he stared at Han Dazhi.

If Han Dazhi couldn’t give him a reasonable explanation, he would choose to attack without hesitation. He would disperse the opposing cavalry and rush into Hangu Pa.s.s as quickly as possible.

“General Chen, the Flying Bear Army is not here for your diplomatic mission.” Han Dazhi cupped his hands. “We came from Hangu Pa.s.s and have an important matter to attend to. Please make way for us.”

Chen Ji frowned. Make way? Impossible! “General Han, there are many ordinary people in the diplomatic mission of Great Xia. It’s inconvenient for us to move. Your side is full of cavalry. Why don’t you take a detour…”

“This is Great Liang’s land. There’s no reason for us to take a detour,” Han Dazhi said coldly as his face darkened. “General Chen, step aside, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

He raised his right arm, and the mounted soldiers behind him were ready to attack again.
