"I'm afraid that my identity will be exposed after I use my sword skills, but if you don't use them again, I'll kill you soon!"

Chu Bushe said in a cold voice, with no intention of letting down his guard. His words were also meant to disrupt the other party's thoughts.

Finally, the other party hesitated because of Chu Bushe's words. He was indeed struggling over whether to use his swordsmanship.

If you hesitate, you will lose!

Chu Bushe hooked the opponent's skin between his eyebrows with a green dragon claw, triggering the Dragon Snake Heavenly Power, which disrupted all of the opponent's meridians, and then he gave a roundhouse kick.

The man in black panicked and blocked the kick with his scimitar, but he still flew out like a kite with a broken string.

More than a dozen trees were broken before his body barely came to a stop.

The man in black put down his scimitar, pulled down his mask, raised his hands in surrender and said:

"I admit defeat, stop fighting, someone will die if you continue, you recognized me and still didn't hold back!"

After seeing the man's true face, especially his slightly curly red hair, Chu Bushe thought to himself, as expected, and smiled.

He recognized the boy who launched the sneak attack. His name was "Mi Gang". He was a member of the royal family of a kingdom in the Western Regions. He had a distinguished status, but he devoted himself to martial arts and looked for fights everywhere. He did not participate in political affairs, and had a bit of the air of a second-generation rich kid.

The reason why Chu Bu She, such an upright and low-key person, got to know such a person was largely because of Mi Gang’s stepmother, the queen.

The beautiful aunt took good care of Chu Bu She, so Chu Bu She naturally had to get to know Mi Gang.

"Mi Gang, if you really want to hide your identity, at least replace your fine scimitar."

"That won't do. If I use another knife, this 'Moon Wheel Pearl' will get jealous. By the way, Chu Bu She, what kind of martial arts are you practicing? Why is it so strange?"

Mi Gang got up, stroked his scimitar, and looked at Chu Bu She with depression.

When fighting with him just now, Chu Bu She's boxing skills gave people a feeling

--stiff.

It can even be described as a zombie!

The joints of the limbs were like those of an iron puppet, unable to move freely, and could only perform the most "simple" moves. However, each move was just right, and there was even a sense of "concentration is the essence".

Or it can be said that simplicity is the ultimate way, which eliminates all useless postures and releases every bit of strength to the fullest.

In the past, whenever Mi Gang fought with Chu Bushe, he always got the upper hand because Chu Bushe only had a strong body that he had cultivated, but no martial arts to help release his power.

But now, this kind of rigid fist and foot martial arts has greatly made up for Chu Bushe's shortcomings.

Mi Gang thought that if he really wanted to fight with Chu Bushe for a longer time, after taking advantage of the weapon, he would have to use the swordsmanship to avoid being defeated quickly.

After Chu Bu She exchanged a few pleasantries with him, he asked what he was most curious about:

"Mi Gang, why did you come to Da Zhou? Are you the only one here?"

The man from the Western Regions wiped the scimitar carefully with his sleeve and said:

"If I'm lying, it means I'm the only one here. If I'm telling the truth, it means there are quite a few of them."

Chu Bushe smelled something and didn't think it was just an ordinary experience in the martial arts world.

His expression became serious and he asked:

"What's going on?"

Mi Gang was hesitating whether to tell him directly, but thinking that it was difficult to hide this matter, he just opened up and said:

"Chu Bushe, you have been back to the Great Zhou for a while now. You should have learned about the things that the elders of the Western Expedition Army have been hiding, right?"

"I guess so, but there are still some unclear points."

"I don't know what you don't understand, but I can tell you what I know."

Mi Gang spread his hands and began to talk about what he knew.

The Western Expedition Army, which was mainly composed of people from Jingchu, was indeed a group of reckless men in the beginning. As soon as the late emperor issued the order to attack, they really rushed out in a rush.

But in fact, the late emperor's idea was to lure the tiger away from the mountain and occupy the magpie's nest, so as to take back the two states of Jingchu.

Because the two states of Jing and Chu developed so rapidly in those years, when the King of Chuliang came to power, he was nicknamed the King of Barbarians, and could only sit on the edge of the banquet when he came to the court to pay tribute.

In a blink of an eye, Jingchu seemed to be blessed by national destiny and its strength soared, posing a vague threat to the central government, which led to the Western Expedition.

In the plan of the late emperor, the Western Expedition Army should die on the road to war, which would not only weaken the external foreign powers, but also eliminate a fierce tiger within.

The sudden usurpation of the throne by Empress Tianwu, which led to the cut-off of food and supplies and the interruption of information - these were all insignificant accidents.

It was only because of the usurpation of the throne by Empress Tianwu that the Western Expedition Army's isolation and helplessness seemed unexpected.

It can even be said that it was because the late emperor was fully focused on targeting the Western Expedition Army that his queen had the opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is also the reason why Empress Tianwu later treated the returning Western Expedition Army very well. If it were not for these people, she would have no chance of usurping the throne.

A Western Expedition affected the rise and fall of many forces.

The Western Regions rose because of the powerful enemy, the Western Expedition Army, the previous emperor was usurped because of his plot against the Western Expedition Army, and Empress Tianwu achieved great things because of the attention attracted by the Western Expedition Army.

The soldiers of the Western Expedition only realized all this belatedly.

It turns out that this group of reckless men are abandoned pawns.

But when they realized it, the former emperor who was their enemy was gone, killed by the empress. There was no way for them to take revenge. Their old nest, Jingchu, was also gone, replaced by a new master. Would the Empress Tianwu accept these isolated troops from the former dynasty?

This is also the reason why the Western Expedition Army was willing to integrate into the local community.

Even those in a long-distance relationship cannot understand each other's thoughts, so how could they dare to run back to the Great Zhou thousands of miles away? What if Empress Tianwu wants to eliminate future troubles, then wouldn't they be sending themselves to death?

But as the Western Expedition Army stayed in the Western Regions longer, they became more afraid to go back...

They abandoned their hometown and their relatives, and were too ashamed to go back to see them. The Western Expedition Army was worried that when they returned, they would see the graves of their relatives.

Even though they saw it, they had no way to take revenge because Empress Tianwu had already killed the enemies of the Western Expedition Army.

"No, you have been kept secret for all these years, and no other forces have been allowed to come into contact with you. This is the consideration of the Western Expedition Army and the royal families of various countries."

"What do you mean?"

"From the perspective of the royal families of various countries, your existence is a banner, and your appeal is too strong. To win you over is to win over many key figures, which can affect the challenge to the Great Zhou in the future.

But from the perspective of the uncles and uncles of the Western Expedition Army, the Great Zhou is always their homeland. After all, there are old friends there who have been let down by them. They will not let you become the banner of invading their homeland.

However, they are also conflicted, and they probably can’t tell whether Da Zhou is an enemy or a friend.”

Those old men knew more information than Chu Bushe imagined.

It cannot be covered up by saying "it's thousands of miles away and the intelligence is distorted".

Therefore, Chu Bu She was kept in the dark about so many things and was even sent back to Da Zhou to visit his relatives and return the tiger talisman...

Do they want Chu Bu She to judge those things with his own eyes and make the final decision himself?

Mi Gang said again:

"Chu Bushe, your existence is subtle and special. You grew up under the care of the Western Regions, but you have the blood of the Great Zhou. The Western Regions regard you as the benefactor who brought the rise and fortune, but also as the former enemy who killed your compatriots. And the Great Zhou is both the old master and the enemy to the Western Expedition Army.

The Western Regions never used family affection to win you over, and the Western Expedition Army never used hatred to spur you on, because your attitude can largely determine the direction of the army's morale, and you should not be influenced by certain emotions or will from an early age.

Now that you have traveled for several years, do you have your own ideas?"

Chapter 96: Friend, do you want me to be Qiao Feng?

Chu Bu She was quite confused by the question. If he was asked about his enemies, the first thing that came to his mind was the bird people who captured the family members of the Western Expedition Army to fight Gu.

These are the most direct enemies at the moment. No matter what their reasons are, what happened to Qingyun was their work.

But if Chu Bushe thought from the perspective of the Great Zhou, the person who had lured the tiger away from the mountain and planned to seize the two states of Jing and Chu was already dead.

From the late emperor to his brothers King Gao and King Dai, all of them died in the mound of earth.

Even the descendants of the two Yi Zi kings, King Degao and King Yuenan, did not have a good ending.

Princess Yu’s ex-husband said that he was granted exile, but Concubine Yin must have killed him on the way.

Now, Mi Gang stood in front of Chu Bushe, seemingly asking for his thoughts, but in fact he had expressed the hope in his heart.

He hoped that Chu Bushe could stand on the side of the Western Regions, or face the Great Zhou as an invader.

Just based on Chu Bushe's understanding of the strength of both sides, there would be no problem in winning the Western Region because the "supplies" sent by the Western Expedition Army were so comprehensive.

As a result, six out of ten famous martial arts masters in the Western Regions today have some bloodline of the Western Expedition Army.

"What's going on in the Western Regions now? Have they already sent troops?"

Chu Bushe suddenly looked at the prince from the Western Regions in front of him.

Although Mi Gang has an older brother, Mi Guan, and the throne inheritance right is not his, the prince's trip itself represents many meanings.

Mi Gang shrugged, not sure if he felt regret or expectation, and said:

“Not really. The current strength of the Western Region, including military training, was all managed by the uncles and uncles of the Western Expedition Army.

The royal families of several countries were worried that if they rashly sent troops, they would hurt the feelings of the old men of the Western Expedition Army. After all, this was their homeland. The royal families privately tried to ask several elders who had more say. "

"What did they say?"

"They said let's see what Chu Bu She has to say."

"..."

Chu Bushe held his forehead in silence, then sighed:

"I really hope that they could have shown a little hatred towards the Great Zhou in their early years. The trouble now is that the Tianwu Empress who usurped the throne broke the chain of hatred."

Mi Gang didn't think this was a problem. On his way to Da Zhou, he had studied the modern history of this place. He shook his head and said:

"But the current emperor is the son of the previous emperor who schemed against his uncles. The son pays for his father's debt. What does this have to do with Empress Tianwu?"

"What if Empress Tianwu had castrated her son, the current emperor, while she was still alive?"

Mi Gang was stunned. As a man, he felt a phantom pain and said with shame:

“So cruel?!”

This is the content that Mi Gang could not see in the book. After all, Emperor Wenyuan of the time was not dead yet, and he would not allow his eunuch status to be recorded in the book.

Mi Gang now suspects that Empress Tianwu is afraid of future retaliation from the Western Expedition Army, so she does things in advance to not give the Western Expedition Army the opportunity to raise the flag of hatred.

Chu Bu She gave a reply for the time being:

"I know that after years of recuperation, the land of the Western Region countries has restricted their subsequent development. If they do not seek expansion, the Western Region will have to fight among themselves."

"Did you agree?"

Mi Gang smiled happily and wished he could send a message back home immediately.

But Chu Bu She raised his hand and stopped talking:

"Wait a minute, if the Western Regions really can't hold back, then go and take Liaoyuzhou first. That's where the Western Expedition Army took it. Take it back first, and your uncles won't have any psychological burden."

"Okay! Then every city, every street, and every square will be named after our uncles!"

Fortunately, there is no one called Wuwukai in the Western Expedition Army, otherwise there would really be a Wuwukai Square...

Having said that, the original Qinglang tribal state of Liaoyuzhou was still one of the enemies of the Western Regions. In fact, Liaoyuzhou was originally part of the concept of the Western Regions.

At that time, the Blue Wolf Kingdom rose up and integrated a cavalry army composed entirely of warriors. It had already shown signs of sweeping across the Western Regions and unifying the countries, but it was crushed at the first stop by the Western Expedition Army.

When Chu Bushe first entered the Liaoyu Protectorate, he heard from officials that the Qinglang Kingdom, which had been submissive for many years, had already shown signs of rebellion and provocation, and the capital was in such chaos that it could not take care of things that far away.

"Don't start fighting among yourselves over the distribution of territory."

Mi Gang nodded and asked again: "Then you still have no conclusion on your attitude towards the Great Zhou royal family?"

Are you trying to force me to become Qiao Feng by bringing the Hu people and Hu girls to fight in the Central Plains?

Even the people involved in the Western Expedition could not tell whether they would be returning home or invaders bringing war and turmoil back to their hometown if they fought back.

A previous piece of information flashed through Chu Bushe’s mind.

The captain of the returning team with an ageless face, Li Ci!

After finding someone to pass the buck to, Chu Bu She suddenly became enlightened:

"Give me a little more time, there is someone who can give me the answer, she can give a conclusion that no one can dispute, she knows better than anyone else what has happened in these years.

As for me, I have been really depressed in the past six months in the capital. I am afraid you have heard about it, but I am now using a more despicable method to retaliate. "

After Mi Gang got Liao Yuzhou's explanation, he felt more relaxed. He joked:

"I have heard of it, but I am more curious about when you learned the Yuan Yang Divine Art. How come everyone in the entire Great Zhou martial arts world knows about it!"
