MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 285v1000 The hunting spree begins, and things happen on the border

 The decoration of the imperial study room is naturally very noble.

Although there are not very complicated furnishings here, every furnishing is extremely exquisite.

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

 But in such an atmosphere, Zhou An's face became more and more solemn.

 The reason is for no other reason than the letter in Zhou An's hand.

 When Zhou An finished reading the entire letter, he slowly put the letter in his hand on the table.

"How?" Emperor Xingwu asked after seeing Zhou An's expression.

 “Shameless.” Zhou An simply said two words.

It seemed that it was not enough, so he added two more words: "Deserves to be killed."

 The content of the letter is actually very simple. It was sent by Emperor Fengteng to the Emperor of the Barbarian Kingdom.

Zhou An said slowly: "I'm afraid it's a matter of resources, and the two countries are colluding. Otherwise, why would Da Qi be able to open its mouth like a lion?"

 This is indeed a fatal problem.

 If you want to attack the barbarian country, you need to cross the Daqi State. If you suddenly turn your head when crossing the Daqi State, you will give the Daqi State a fatal blow.

Emperor Fengteng told the emperor of the barbarian kingdom about sending troops.

After finishing his words, Emperor Xingwu looked at Zhou An.

 It is difficult to guess what measures Emperor Fengteng will take by then.

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

Eunuch Wei thought for a while and said, "What do we think, should we first look at the trends in Da Qi?"

“Secondly, even if Da Qi doesn’t support the barbarian countries, it probably won’t be able to withstand the two countries.”

　　After this question was asked, Eunuch Wei and others also focused their attention on it.

 Everyone also turned their attention.

"How to act depends on Dai Viet, whether it dares or not."

 In fact, sending troops is no longer a secret.

 “It’s feasible.” The prime minister said first.

Emperor Xingwu said calmly: "The plan of me and Emperor Yunqi was originally to cause heavy losses to the barbarian country this time."

 This is what he thinks.

 As this supports the barbarian countries, Da Qi will lose its manpower. Correspondingly, Da Qi will have fewer people.

Emperor Fengteng knew that the letter was lost, and that was a sure thing.

 “The Qi Kingdom and the Barbarian Kingdom have probably colluded long ago.”

“But Da Qi’s method of secret support, I think, should be changed.”

"What do you think, pretending to attack the barbarian country, but pointing the sword at the Qi country?"

 Once you know the other party's actions, what plan should you make on your own side? This is the most important thing.

 This is the most important point.

"The letter was lost, but it didn't really get into our hands. Emperor Fengteng didn't know."

After these words were spoken, everyone present fell into silence, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

 “At that time, I’m afraid that people may not be lent to the barbarian countries.” The chief general added.

We are not stupid, and we already know the basis for Xing Wu Emperor.

Even if Da Qi is powerful, the combined power of Da Chu and Da Yue can have earth-shaking effects.

The Imperial Preceptor muttered: "But there is also a problem that must be thought of. This letter from Da Qi has been lost. If Emperor Fengteng knew about it, he would definitely be suspicious."

 But the key to the problem is that at the end of the letter, the word support is mentioned.

 The general meaning is that this time Emperor Yunqi sent troops, Daqi Congress secretly supported the barbarian country so that the barbarian country would not suffer heavy losses.

Zhou An continued: "You need to pretend that you don't know, which is very difficult."

 Zhou An touched his chin and said, "I think they can all be beaten."

Hearing this, Emperor Xingwu nodded and said: "Yes, it's the same as what you said, but I really didn't expect that Da Qi, the oldest country, would collude with a bug like the barbarian country."

As long as Emperor Fengteng thinks that they don't know about this matter, then everything will naturally be simple.

“First, the barbarian country is far away from Da Qi, and it is too late to support Da Qi.”

 What this represents is very clear to Zhou An.

 Zhou An asked: "How does your Majesty plan to act?"

 The letter mentioned that the Daqi Congress secretly provided support to the barbarians.

In Zhou An's view, no matter how powerful Da Qi was, it would not be able to withstand the attacks of the two countries.

“It seems that the Emperor of Qi has made his choice.”

But it’s really hard to pretend.

“Yes, I think so too.”

Emperor Xingwu said slowly: "When the time comes, you will send people to deliver the letter to Dayue Kingdom first, and then to Zongxing."

  Indulgence?

Zhou An was slightly startled.

“Haha, who doesn’t plant spies for each other these days?”

Emperor Xingwu said slowly: "I have the same people on Zongxing's side, but they are not high-level people."

"Find a good reason and bring the letter to Da Qi through spies. In this way, Zong Xing will naturally find Da Qi."

 “Then, Da Qi will face two problems.”

 At this point, Emperor Xingwu smiled.

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

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

“This move will not only allow Zong Xing and Da Qi to confront each other, but also distract Da Qi and further damage Zong Xing.”

“Killing two birds with one stone, I don’t believe that the Qi Kingdom will not be destroyed. By then, the barbarian countries will also be destroyed with a snap of a finger.”

Zhou An couldn't help sweating as he listened.

 Should I say it or not, this emperor has been a bit cruel after sitting for a long time.

 This plan is really sophisticated.

 In this way, I even indulged in some indulgence.

If the pervert leader were here, he would definitely look confused.

 I haven't done anything, and you come to mess with me. It's outrageous.

"Seconded."

Eunuch Wei and others looked at each other and felt that this was feasible.

Emperor Xingwu looked at Zhou An again and said: "This trip will pass through Da Qi, so you have to be careful."

Zhou An certainly knows.

 The reason for being careful is actually very simple.

 Originally, everyone had the same goal, including Da Qi.

 But now that Da Qi State and the Barbarian State have colluded, things will not be simple.

When passing through Da Qi, I don’t know what will happen. Nothing is guaranteed.

But it’s not a big problem.

Zhou Anxin thought, I still have my aunt behind me, so if I have any trouble, I can just go to my aunt.

 “In that case, I’ll take my leave first.”

 The matter has been settled and Zhou An has no intention of staying.

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

 …

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

 The trick hunting thing is coming.

 At this time, many All Saint Realm masters are ready to go.

Zhou An walked slowly, bringing the black jade to this open space.

With the arrival of Zhou An, many All Saint Realm masters in the open space paid their attention.

 “I’ve met Mr. Zhou!”

 Everyone shouted in unison.

 At this time, many All Saint Realm masters were excited.

 Zhou An's methods have completely convinced them.

Facing Zhou An’s gaze, everyone straightened their backs.

 Zhou An nodded, waved and said, "Let's go!"

"yes!"

 Everyone bowed their hands and answered in unison.

 The crowd began to leave the palace.

Zhou An held Black Jade in hand, turned his head, looked at the red wall and glazed tiles behind him, glanced at it lightly, and left the capital.

 …

Xin County is a small border county extremely far away from the Chu Kingdom.

 There are few people here, but fortunately there are still people living there.

 Pieces of buildings that are extremely rich in local characteristics and are different from other county towns stand here.

Although there are few people, the scenery is like a hazy rainy night, which actually adds a bit of artistic conception.

At this time, at the entrance of Xinxian County, a large number of people wearing different clothes gathered.

 Some of this group of people are slightly older, around 70 or 80 years old, and some are slightly younger.

  But the youngest ones all look like middle-aged people.

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

Both men and women are dressed in black and look very imposing.

 The young man looks handsome, especially his aura, which makes people afraid to approach him.

 The woman is as beautiful as a country and has a delicate figure.

Especially in women, there is a fascinating sense of taboo. They want to get closer, but they are afraid of being hurt by this taboo.

  But if you observe carefully, you will see that there is always a sense of...silliness on the woman's face.

 The mixture of stupidity and taboo made the girl in black even more eye-catching.

“Lord Zhou, it starts from here and spreads throughout the Chu Kingdom.”

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

This is a martial artist from the Great Chu Kingdom, named Zheng Quan. He is good at using purple and gold double hooks and is also a well-known boss in the world.

 But when facing Zhou An, he seemed very reserved, like a junior.

In the first battle in the martial arts field, Zhou An had fully demonstrated his strength, and none of the many masters in the Holy Realm were dissatisfied.

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

Zhou An nodded and said, "That's it, let's get started."

 What hunting means is to clear out an absolute safe zone around each county.

 According to the planning of each country, the distance around each city is about three thousand miles.

This distance may be extremely far for ordinary people, but for people in the industry, it is very close.

"yes!"

Zheng Quan and the others have also participated in hunting ghosts, so they are all very familiar with it.

 As Zheng Quan agreed, many All Saint Realm masters all left quickly.

 As for Zhou An, he stayed in Xin County.

He is the leader and sits in the city, ensuring that he is the closest to any place at any time.

　　 is like a circle, it is the center of the circle.

 As for how to ensure it, it is also very simple. This time, everyone has a special signal talisman in their hand, which is refined by Taoist masters.

When you encounter something that cannot be handled, send a signal talisman. The signal talisman will turn into a beam of fire and shoot straight into the sky. Even from an extremely long distance, you can easily see through it.

This kind of talisman paper is extremely expensive to make. If it were not for hunting, it would never be produced in large quantities.

 Zhou An waited until these masters left and had nothing to do in the city, so he took Black Jade for a walk.

Although Xin County is just an inhumane small county, smaller than Anding County, for Zhou An, experiencing the customs of a foreign place is also something he likes very much.

 On the streets, the items sold by vendors are all items with Xinxian characteristics.

 For example, crispy rice.

This thing looks like a rice cracker, but with some side dishes inside and sandwiched between the rice crackers, it tastes unique.

 “Are you concerned about it?”

Zhou An looked at the rice cooker in the black jade hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Buy a rice cooker, and you asked someone to carve it for you to look like me. Did you see the eyes of the people just now?"

 At this time, the rice cooker in Black Jade's hand was already in the shape of Zhou An.

 The hawker doesn't know how to carve, but black jade can.

 “Click!”

Hei Yi bit off the head of the rice cooker in one bite, making Zhou An shiver.

 “You can also eat the delicious food.”

With that said, Heiyu fed the crispy rice into Zhou An's mouth.

Zhou An didn’t mind either. He took a bite and found that except for the shape, which made people feel phantom pain, it was actually quite delicious.

Heiyu smiled even more happily when he saw Zhou An eating his own food, and his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

“When it comes to our new county, the most famous one is Xinting.”

The street vendor said, raising his head very proudly: "In those days, among the heroes who died fighting for the Great Chu Kingdom, our Xinxian County heroes were also quite large, so we specially built a monument in the Xinting Pavilion."

Zhou An saw the hawker talking so excitedly, so he also took the black jade and walked towards the new pavilion.

 Look at the demeanor of our predecessors, appreciate the attitude of today’s people, and focus on future changes.

 To travel is to travel to gain a state of mind and understanding.

 Besides, I haven’t taken Black Jade around for a long time, so there’s no harm in playing around today.

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

But before arriving, Zhou An discovered an interesting thing on the roadside.

 A young man, dressed in commoner clothes, was practicing his sword skills and looked extremely serious.

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

"Who are you…"

 The young man also saw Zhou An, with doubts on his face.

Zhou An pointed at the sword and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just want to see your sword skills. What's your name?"

 “The cook is using the sheep’s knife!” The young man looked proud.

 Zhou An's eyes widened: "What the hell?"

He felt that he seemed to have heard wrongly.

 Because when he heard it, he felt that the name was very familiar. When he thought about it carefully, wasn't it just one word different from his own cook Ding Jie Ren Dao?

 “The cook’s knife is used to untie the sheep!”

The young man said proudly: "This sword technique is named after the sword technique of Lord Zhou of our great Chu Kingdom."

"Master Zhou can rise from a small county town to the master of swords and pots today, so can I!"

"One day, I will go out from Xin County and become a well-known Xiao Zhou An in the world!"

As he spoke, the young man was still waving his knife, as if he was Zhou An.

Zhou An suddenly smiled: "Very good, I am ambitious."

 He suddenly felt that he seemed to see his original self in 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 own life, but this young man did not seem to have such worries.

There is no last resort, it is really no choice. After all, Zhou is not a murderous person.

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

“There are some small flaws in your swordsmanship, please give me the sword.” Zhou An said with a smile.

The young man was stunned, and by some mistake, he handed the knife to Zhou An.

Zhou An took it in his hand and waved it twice casually to test the weight.

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

Zhou An turned around and said, "Are you done with your work?"

“Yes.” Zheng Quan agreed.

Not just him, many masters from the Holy Realm came to Zhou An one after another.

This is just a small county town, so it will be a matter of course for the experts from the Holy Realm to take action.

Young people are also confused.

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

“Could this man be a kid from a rich family who came to visit this small county town?” the young man thought to himself.

Zhou An turned around and said, "Look, these places need to be changed."

 The long knife was swung by Zhou An.

 After a moment, a set of sword skills was formed.

The young man's sword skills just now were not top-notch, but the technique Zhou An performed was regarded as the treasure of a small force in the world.

 One method is passed and all methods are in order.

There is a cook who knows how to use the sword, and he can create any sword technique at will, which is not difficult for Zhou An.

 “How many do you remember?” Zhou An asked.

 The young man responded: "Half."

"enough."

 Zhou An smiled and said, "That's enough for you."

 Half is enough. How much he can comprehend depends entirely on the young man's fate. After all, it's just Zhou An who does it casually.

"Master Zhou, do you need to hurry?" Zheng Quan glanced at the young man with envy.

 With Master Zhou's guidance, this young man is afraid that he will take off on the spot.

Zhou An walked towards the new pavilion: "At first, I just wanted to take a stroll, but now it seems that there is someone waiting for me in the new pavilion, so it doesn't hurt to go and have a look."

With the glance of the Eye of Chaos, Zhou An had already seen the situation in Xinting.

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

The young man held a knife in his hand and his whole body looked like wood.

 There were only three words echoing in his mind—Master Zhou!

In this great country of Chu, there are many Master Zhou, but there is only one Master Zhou who can wield a sword.

The young man's face quickly turned red, as if he was about to explode with excitement.

That is his idol, the idol of the entire knife-wielding crowd, and the pride of the great Chu country!

The young man never expected that he would meet Zhou An here.

 His mood at the moment was so excited that he was trembling, and he could not recover for a long time.

 “I will definitely go out of Xin County and become the second Zhou An!”

The young man shouted loudly.

 The people passing by looked at this young man with eyes that looked like he was mentally retarded.

 The street was quiet again, but the young man's knife was more stable.

 …

"Master Zhou, that boy's talent is not bad. Have you ever considered taking him by your side?" Zheng Quan asked with a smile: "Being a personal guard would also be good."

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

Zheng Quan said with emotion: "It will be a lifetime blessing for him to be taught by Master Zhou."

Zhou An smiled and said nothing more.

This was just an interlude, and it had no impact on him.

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

Xinting, as the place where Xinxian County commemorates the heroes of the Chu Kingdom, its style is much higher than that of the surrounding buildings.

 The pavilion stands on a green lawn, surrounded by hills and quiet streams.

The mountain breeze blows and the water gurgling makes people feel extremely fresh and peaceful.

The architectural style of the pavilion is graceful and elegant, with fine surrounding structures and an octagonal roof paved with black glazed tiles, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.

 The pillars are made of stone, lifelike and exuding a solid atmosphere, making people feel at ease and at ease.

 The surrounding flowers, trees and green grass add a natural and fresh atmosphere.

 In the middle of the new pavilion, there is a stone tablet erected.

The stone tablet is carved with small names one after another, like carvings with a knife and an axe.

 Densely packed, extremely numerous.

 The feeling of simplicity and desolation emanates from the stone tablets, especially the names. When you know the origin of the names, you are even more awe-inspiring.

In addition, there is a stone table and four stone benches.

At this time, a white-haired old man was sitting on the stone bench.

The white-haired old man looks old and has wrinkles on his face, but his eyes give people a sense of vitality.

　　Although he is wearing an ordinary cloth, the white-haired old man feels comfortable and in line with his temperament when wearing it.

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

That hand only had three fingers and looked extremely scary.

 Where there are no fingers, the wound is flat, as if it had been cut off by a sharp weapon.

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

 When Zhou An arrives, raise your right hand.

Zheng Quan and others knew clearly, so they waited outside.

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

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

 While teaching young people how to use swords, Zhou An felt the difference in this new pavilion.

 The white-haired old man is a master.

 In Xinxian County, it is impossible for such a master to appear.

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

The white-haired old man put down his teacup, looked directly at Zhou An, and said, "Yes, and no, Mr. Zhou's identity is worthy of my waiting, but the person I am waiting for is not Mr. Zhou."

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

“My name is Baifeng, and he is known as the Eight-fingered Old Man in the world. He is the master of the Lieyan Sect.”

Baifeng said slowly: "Fire Flame Sect, good at controlling flames."

 Zhou An nodded: "People from various sects come to see me. What's the matter?"

Bai Feng shook his head and said: "I said, I am not here to find Mr. Zhou."

 Zhou An raised his eyebrows.

Is it possible that he guessed wrong?

Isn’t this Bai Feng really here to cause trouble for him?

 But if that was the case, why did he look calm after seeing him, as if he knew he would come?

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

 I saw Baifeng pouring a cup of tea, and then he passed Zhou An and pushed it from the table to Black Jade.

 Baifeng's face was solemn.

“I’m here today because of this girl. Girl, I’m a little confused and I want her to clear up my confusion.” Bai Feng said with a solemn expression on his face.

 …
