Chapter 17
The prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, Nangong, was actually not interested in the so-called "Four Great Young Masters" in the world. Especially for the youngest Qin prince Nie Wushuang, he never thought that he had anything extraordinary.
Most of the world's fame is arrogant! These reputations gained by the guests are not worth mentioning in the face of the real strength of the iron armored long sword.
Nangong Qi glanced at the people from Qin State with contempt, and looked a little tough, but compared with the iron-armored entourage behind him, it was far inferior to the iron-armored entourage behind him. However, although he looked extremely despised by the other party in his heart, his face would naturally not be revealed. With a huge military plan initiated by Qin and Wei, a huge military plan launched by Qin and Wei, thousands of miles away, was unfolding in the north. Now, for the sake of common interests, he had to temporarily become good friends with Nie Wushuang.
"Brother Nangong, have you ever heard of the legend in this mountain?"
Nangong Qi looked up when he heard the sound and saw the young master of Qin pointing to the steep mountain peaks that were getting closer and closer, and a mysterious color appeared on his smiling face. He was a little stunned and asked casually.
"I wonder what Mr. Wushuang is talking about?"
"Oh, it is said that there are divine beasts in Zhongyue Mountain, which is called auspiciousness in Zhongzhou. Over the years, countless people have wanted to catch it, but they all ended in failure. Even a large group of people with full equipment is difficult to catch it. The wind and clouds are coming and going without a trace... Haha! Anyway, the legend is amazing, and I don't know whether it is true or false."
"So it's this... I heard people talk about it when I was in Wei. Some say it's a qilin, some say it's a white deer, and there are all kinds of sayings, and there are all kinds of sayings. In fact, Wushuang's young master is just a mere animal. Even if it's a bit strange, there's nothing too magical. Just like there's a white tiger in the mountains and rivers of the Great Wei Kingdom, and there's a phoenix on the West Qin Mountain. Is there anything strange about it?"
Seeing Nangong Qi looking disapproving, Nie Wushuang shook his head. He gently stroked the bow and arrow on the horse's back, and his tone seemed to have some special meaning.
"That's different. Although all the countries in the world have rare beasts, the representative meaning of Zhongzhou is naturally different..."
"What's the difference? Haha! It's just a beast. Just wait for me to shoot it to death with an arrow, so that Wushuang's young master can see it well! Haha!"
Nangong Qi laughed a little arrogantly. Nie Wushuang stopped talking, and a cold irony flashed in his eyes. These arrogant Wei people thought that the best in the world? They really don’t know what it means, shallow and ignorant. If it weren’t for the needs of common interests, he wouldn’t bother to plan major events with him!
"Brother Nangong, have you ever seen that Prince Zhao?"
When the team entered the mountain pass, Nie Wushuang hid his emotions and changed the topic. Teacher Shen Jizi once said that the best way to kill people in the world is not to do it yourself. Instead, sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, and killing people with a knife without seeing blood!
Amid the loud sound of the horse's hooves treading on the valley, Nangong didn't hear it very clearly. He tied the reins of the horse and asked loudly: "Who? Who is the Wushuang Young Master talking about?"
"Chu Jiangmian, Prince of Zhao! Didn't you see him?"
"The son of King Zhao Chulie? That waste... hahaha! It's so strange. He dares to run to Zhongyue Mountain? In my eyes, I only have heroes in the world. Such a guy is not worthy of attention! Why... Wushuang Young Master is interested in him?"
"I'm not interested. I don't know him either, I just asked casually. Since Brother Nangong has never seen this person, then forget it."
Nie Wushuang's eyes rolled and he stopped talking. Any guidance that would make a successful achievement, shallow water flows deep and can stop at the right time is the most clever method. This principle was also taught by Shen Jizi.
On the northern foot of Zhongyue Mountain, the vast hunting ground arrived in a blink of an eye. They stopped talking and took their respective followers to prepare for hunting.
"Prince, don't take what this young master of Qin just said to you!"
His father came over again at some point. The expression on his face was very serious. It was obvious that he could hear the conversation between Nie Wushuang and Nangong Qi.
"Uncle, don't worry! I know what his purpose is. Humph, don't you just want to deal with the prince of Zhao? Why use the slaughter knife to kill chickens? Although my Great Wei armored sword is sharp, it is used to charge on the battlefield, it is not lent to others to kill a useless person!"
Nangong Qi's eyes flashed. He looked at the figure of the Qin prince who was walking farther away and snorted coldly. He would not be fooled by these tricks of evil spirits.
I thought I would get the praise from Shen’s father, but unexpectedly, the other party frowned, looked up at him, and said with a look of regret.
"Oh! I have told you how many times, you should look at the long-term, and don't just look at the surface when looking at things. Pay more attention to the general direction, don't just focus on the interests in front of you and act voluntarily... A mere prince of Zhao is not worth paying attention to at all. No matter what kind of grudges Nie Wushuang has with him, it has nothing to do with us. Now, you should consider the big thing about Zhongyue Mountain hunting more!"
"Isn't it just hunting? What's the matter... I started hunting since I was seven years old. Over the years, there have been countless birds and beasts that have died under my arrows. Even tigers, black bears and other beasts have hundreds of beasts. I will look at my methods later and I will definitely take the lead in front of the princes in the world and show the might of my Great Wei!"
Looking at the proud expression on the face of the arrogant prince, Shen's father shook his head constantly. Nangong Qi and his father are really the same virtues, both advocates of force. They believe that by powerful means, they can conquer everything. In the long run, if they encounter a real opponent, once they encounter setbacks, they will probably lose their vitality after defeat. This is an extremely dangerous thing.
"Prince! I'm not talking about this. Do you really don't understand what I mean? No matter what the divine beast in Zhongyue Mountain is, it means a lot. If you can have the ability to capture it this time, it is very important to our Wei State! Do you understand if I say this?"
Father Shen increased his tone and tried to speak it as simple and straightforward as possible. This time, Nangong really understood it. However, he did not think it was so important to hunt a beast, and he asked again in surprise.
"Uncle, the divine beast is just a legend, it is likely to be a rumor from some ignorant mountain people. Do you believe this?"
"Prince, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not or whether I believe it or not! The most important thing is that the people in the world believe it! Do you know what the divine beasts in Zhongzhou represent?"
"Please make it clear to you, uncle!"
Seeing Shen’s father’s solemn appearance, Nangong restrained his arrogance. Based on his past experience, he knew that once his uncle and half of his master had such a look, this matter was indeed very important.
"Hundreds of years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty won the world and passed on these dozens of generations. All the people in the world accepted their rule, and the emperor patrols all over the world. All the people are called 'herdsmen'. This word "herdsman" tells the essence of it..."
Speaking of this, a faint light flowed in Shenfu's turbid eyes, and a surprising momentum emanated from his body. Nangong Qi was examining his bow and arrow with the help of his followers while listening carefully.
"In the eyes of the supreme royal power, the people of the world are like tamed deer, obeying the call of the emperor. From ancient times to the present, this has been the case... It's a pity that even the most powerful dynasty will eventually decline and perish. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has reached its end. Only this mere land of Zhongzhou is retained, and other parts of the world have long become the forbidden bans of the princes. Alas! The deer of the Great Zhou Dynasty has run out of the Altar of the Luocheng City. In ancient legends, if anyone can get it, he will be the new herder chosen by God! So, do you think this divine beast is important?"
"Ah! There is something like this? Why didn't my uncle tell me earlier? Since that's the case, don't worry. I will definitely win the divine beast in Zhongyue Mountain and will definitely take it back to Wei State!"
Nangong Qie, who first heard about this, was surprised and happy. Being competitive is his favorite. What's more, there is such a great political significance. He couldn't help but be ready to go, full of great confidence.
"I hope you can do it! If you can really capture this divine beast and the military plan that Wei State participated in was also successful, it would be God who helped me with the Great Wei..."
When he thought of the future scene, tears flashed in his father's eyes. He seemed to have really seen the day when the Wei Kingdom competed for the world, destroyed the princes, and replaced the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"Prince, work hard!"
His father Shen finally gave a last word. He knew very well that among the princes in Luocheng this time, there were many people who had the same mind as them. Moreover, among them, there were hidden dragons and creeping tigers, and even more powerful ones. He must not underestimate the heroes of the world.
On the Zhongyue Mountain hunting ground, within hundreds of miles, a large-scale hunting activity began. The spring breeze brought warmth and the horse's hooves were swaying. Countless flags were flying, and the warriors from various vassal states followed their masters and began their own performances.
Hunting in spring and autumn has a long history. Not only will the emperors of all generations organize the organization, but the princes who are enfeoffed in various places will also be held regularly in their own areas. On the one hand, this is to hunt too many wild animals and reduce the harm to the people. On the other hand, it is to show off their military power and exercise the combat capabilities of the army.
