Chapter 138

After the interlude of the Golden Wind Tower repaying the favor, Chu Chu Danqing successfully arrived at the border and also met Xiong Xiong Zhigang.

The matter of Chu Chu Danqing resigning from office in the capital and then the million-flower bounty spread like wildfire.

Xiong Xiong Zhigang naturally knew it clearly, so he was prepared early.

"Mr. Chu, you said you didn't want this power that tilted the court, and you just gave it up." Seeing Chu Chu Danqing, Xiong Xiong Zhigang couldn't help but tease.

In fact, he also supported Chu Chu Danqing's resignation; don't look at how majestic Chu Chu Danqing was, but with a weak master and strong ministers, and merits that overshadow the master, there is a high probability that there will be no good ending.

Chu Chu Danqing being able to retreat safely was also due to his decisiveness.

"You know, I entered the capital just to make a living." Chu Chu Danqing pretended to be helpless and spread his hands: "Who would have thought that by chance, I would climb so high."

"It scared me to death."

"That's why I ran away as soon as I found an opportunity." Chu Chu Danqing joked with Xiong Xiong Zhigang.

"I actually thought about being as carefree as you, Mr. Chu." The smile on Xiong Xiong Zhigang's face gradually became serious: "Unfortunately, I can't get away."

"In recent days, Sushan's movements have become more and more frequent, as if they are preparing to go south again."

"It seems to be because the million-flower bounty matter fell through." Xiong Xiong Zhigang said.

Don't look at Chu Chu Danqing resigning, but Sushan is afraid of when the other party will rise again.

After all, he is still young and not an old man in his seventies or eighties.

Since they already know there is a threat, naturally they must eliminate it as soon as possible.

It just so happens that Chu Chu Danqing and Xiong Xiong Zhigang are gathered together this time; if they can kill both of them once and for all, not to mention driving straight in, they can also greatly strike the morale of the Emperor Taichang Dynasty.

"It's okay, one of the purposes of my coming here is to resolve this matter." Chu Chu Danqing was not only here to discuss the blood oath alliance with Xiong Xiong Zhigang, but also to vent his anger.

"Can Mr. Chu make them retreat?" Xiong Xiong Zhigang's eyes widened, and he asked immediately.

【Hidden Task: Make the Sushan people retreat within three days】

【Trial Difficulty: A-level (Heroic)】

【Trial Reward: Paradise points × 10,000, Attribute points +4】

【Trial Failure: Paradise points -20,000, Random Attribute -1】

With Xiong Xiong Zhigang asking this, the task was triggered.

"I can." Chu Chu Danqing accepted the task and replied to Xiong Xiong Zhigang.

The difficulty is really not high; just spend money to ask Guo Ming to take action.

He and Guo Ming will kill their way over, put a knife on the neck of the Sushan Emperor, and let him retreat.

If that doesn't work, tie the royal family and ministers together and threaten them.

By the way, ask which bastard has been targeting him, and Chu Chu Danqing will kill the other party to end it.

Chu Chu Danqing will not start a massacre in Sushan.

The reason is very simple: Sushan people are also people; he hopes more for peaceful coexistence between the two sides.

If the Emperor Taichang Dynasty starts a war, Chu Chu Danqing will do the same.

No matter which country wins, the benefits are always obtained by the high-level officials, while the price is paid by ordinary people.

He naturally knows that war can promote development, but this kind of development is piled up with the lives of ordinary people.

There will always be people who look at it from the perspective of vested interests and feel that this is a necessary sacrifice.

But in reality, the vast majority of people are ordinary people who are paid as the price, not vested interests.

Chu Chu Danqing was born an ordinary person, so why should he consider those vested interests?

A grain of dust in the era falling on an ordinary person is a mountain, not to mention the cruel war.

Whether it is suppressing bandits or eliminating spies, it is all for ordinary people to have a better living environment.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have enough time to clean up the aftermath, his methods would be even more cruel and radical.

Instead of being a paper-paster.

"Today... tomorrow, let's make it tomorrow; I'll find a way to make them retreat for you." Chu Chu Danqing originally wanted to solve it today.

However, he looked at the sky; it was almost dark, and he had been on the road for another day, so he had to rest.

Anyway, with Guo Ming there, there is no need to rush.

Then Chu Chu Danqing talked to Xiong Xiong Zhigang about the blood oath alliance, naturally removing the Paradise part during the process.

Xiong Xiong Zhigang thought for a while, his face full of helplessness.

"I am naturally willing to sign this oath." Xiong Xiong Zhigang said: "But I hold an important position; firstly, I cannot leave for a long time, and secondly, I cannot respond at any time."

"If Mr. Chu summons me, what should I do if I can't respond in time?"

He is certainly willing to help, but he is not as free as Guo Ming to respond at any time.

Guo Ming only needs to focus on cultivation; as for training?

He had already been training for several years since he started traveling, and he was just an ordinary person, so his experience and knowledge were already enough.

"This... might need to be solved." Chu Chu Danqing said: "I suspect the little Emperor wants to take someone to replace you."

"After all, you are close to me, and his desire for control is so strong that he definitely won't trust you."

"Maybe after this retreat of Sushan, he will transfer you back to the capital." Chu Chu Danqing said.

Xiong Xiong Zhigang had little contact with the little Emperor, only knowing that he had the appearance of a wise ruler.

Chu Chu Danqing had more contact, so naturally, he knew what kind of character he had.

Xiong Xiong Zhigang held the military power of the border, and the little Emperor would definitely not be at ease.

Coupled with Chu Chu Danqing's action this time, Sushan can stop the war for at least three years, giving more room for operation.

"This..." Xiong Xiong Zhigang didn't think he was irreplaceable, just didn't expect the little Emperor to be so urgent.

He certainly believed what Chu Chu Danqing said.

"Fine, why don't I sign this alliance with you, Mr. Chu; if I am really transferred back to the capital, I will resign and retire."

"To help you, Mr. Chu!" Xiong Xiong Zhigang agreed first.

After returning to the capital, his skills could not be exerted, and staying there was useless, so it was better to go back.

Chu Chu Danqing naturally would not refuse, and he would have to see Xiong Xiong Zhigang's situation later to decide whether to cultivate him.

What he cultivates is real gold and silver, not something that can be done with just a word.

Summoning once costs money, and the cost is right there.

After completing the signing, Chu Chu Danqing quietly opened Xiong Xiong Zhigang's attribute panel to check.

【Blood Oath Alliance · No. 2】

【Attributes】

【HP: 100%】

【Mana: 450】

【Strength: 6】

【Agility: 6】

【Constitution: 6】

【Spirit: 10】

【Perception: 10】

【Talent】

【Solid Interior, Firm Exterior】

【Skills】

【Flying Bear Military Scripture (Inheritance) LV. 7】

【Basic Military LV. MAX】

【Military Proficiency LV. 1】

【Basic Military Strategy LV. MAX】

【Military Strategy Proficiency LV. 1】

【Basic Blade Technique LV. 2】

【Night Battle Eight Directions Blade (Active) LV. 2】

【Equipment】

【Ten Strategies for Peace and Order · Fragment (Common)】

Chu Chu Danqing looked at the panel and felt that Xiong Xiong Zhigang actually had a talent, which was indeed unusual.

As for the basic skills, they were also different from combat-type basic skills.

Putting them here with Chu Chu Danqing was truly a waste of talent.

It would have to be those legion-style summoning and lord-style apostles who could exert the greatest use.

Even with innate talents, the aptitude was higher than Guo Ming's.

To exert his full ability, he had to meet a suitable summoning or lord-style apostle.

As for Chu Chu Danqing walking the legion style, he actually wanted to, but the problem was that there were no corresponding resources.

One must have a complete skill system to do so.

Even now, Chu Chu Danqing is still in the foundation-building stage and doesn't need to worry about what style to follow in the future for the time being.

What's more, what's strong is not the style, but the person.

It's not that you can achieve the same achievements as the other party by following their growth path.

Compared to imitating other people's styles, Chu Chu Danqing wanted more to walk out of his own style.

After all, it was built and created by himself for himself, so it must be the most suitable for him.

Those who learn from me live; those who resemble me die.

The same business, some people make a fortune, while others lose money and fall into debt.

"Alright, done." Chu Chu Danqing looked at Xiong Xiong Zhigang's name appearing on the blood oath alliance, considering it a goal accomplished.

Xiong Xiong Zhigang was a bit confused: "Why is there no feeling at all?"

"Normal, Guo Ming also asked you this question." Chu Chu Danqing's blood oath alliance was only LV. 1, equivalent to knowing a little bit of the fur.

He could understand the summoning part through the summoning foundation, but he couldn't understand the rest.

There was also the contract part in it, which was indeed difficult for Chu Chu Danqing to understand.

Sometimes he thought about finding another contract foundation, but that was just thinking; where would he get the resources to raise another contract foundation?

Summoning and contract do have partial overlap and connection, but they are not the same system after all.

Auxiliary cultivation of contract foundation is not as good as auxiliary cultivation of other summoning-type basic skills.

So what he needs to do is not to raise another resource-eating contract foundation, but to transform the blood oath alliance into a pure summoning-type skill.

This has to fall on the transaction in the Apostle Square to see if he can exchange for an item used to improve the quality of the blood oath alliance.

How to exchange it specifically will have to wait until he returns to the Paradise to research the market before making a decision.

"I see." Xiong Xiong Zhigang didn't delve into the reason and said again: "Mr. Chu, you and Da Bao are in a hurry on the road, and you have to go to retreat the Sushan troops tomorrow, so let me arrange for you to have a good rest first."

Then he personally arranged a room for Chu Chu Danqing.

He originally thought about letting Chu Chu Danqing and Da Bao have one room each, but Da Bao was unwilling.

No matter how big Da Bao's physique is, in the end, his mind is just a five-year-old child.

In Da Bao's view, Chu Chu Danqing is an adult, and it is normal for children to follow adults.

Chu Chu Danqing was also unwilling; he was not good at fighting, and if he really lost Da Bao, he might not be able to react in time.

Who knows if there are other apostles or Sushan spies lurking at this border.

After the arrangements were made, Xiong Xiong Zhigang had people bring wine and food, and then went back to work.

He manages all affairs and has to guard against Sushan, so he is naturally extremely busy every day.

Chu Chu Danqing didn't eat, while Da Bao was frantically devouring food at a table by himself.

He was thinking about the subsequent path.

Guo Ming became his resource channel, and Xiong Xiong Zhigang had talent; what was missing was just an opportunity.

Now Chu Chu Danqing can act as this opportunity, but the problem is that his temple is too small, and it is difficult for Xiong Xiong Zhigang to exert his ability.

Letting him command his few summoned objects is truly a waste of talent.

"Even if I don't follow the legion style, I have to find a quantity-type summoning skill or equipment that can cooperate with Xiong Xiong Zhigang."

"Is this another trump card?"

Chu Chu Danqing just wanted to find a Rank 1 ally.
