"Chen Tai'a?"
Zhou Mu looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression, but had no recollection of him at all.
At this moment, Chen Tai'a turned sideways to make room, cupped his hands towards the inside of the room, and looked at Zhou Mu, saying, "Please."
Do I know you?
Zhou Mu made no move. He watched the man who called himself Chen Tai'a warily. At this moment, his spiritual power had already begun to circulate.
He wasn't afraid. Fang Yun was lurking in the shadows, and he only needed to shout to appear at any time. Moreover, he had gained quite a few benefits after annihilating the Northern Wilderness Demon Clan.
The biggest benefit was that his cultivation level increased, and he broke through to the Immortal Realm.
He crossed that insurmountable chasm that countless others considered insurmountable, with such ease, without even suffering a bit of hardship. If others knew this, they would surely be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Perhaps this is what is known as the protagonist's halo.
Chen Tai'a smiled faintly, his eyes filled with light, and said, "Are you afraid?"
Zhou Mu shook his head.
Chen Tai'a said, "Then please, my guest."
Zhou Mu did not refuse again.
Once inside, the two sat down facing each other. Chen Tai'a picked up the teapot, gently scooped a spoonful of tea leaves, and added them to the boiling hot teacup. When the teacup was lifted, it was still steaming.
Not long after the tea leaves were put in, Chen Tai'a slowly picked up the teacup, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Steam was still rising from his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhou Mu asked, "Isn't it hot?"
He could feel the heat emanating from the table; it was scalding hot and stung his skin.
Chen Tai'a looked at Zhou Mu through the steam from the tea.
His face was vaguely blurry.
Only the outline can be vaguely discerned.
He smiled slightly, placed the teacup on the table, raised his head, and his eyes were somewhat unfocused.
It seems that he saw someone through Zhou Mu.
Then, he slowly stood up, walked to the inner room next door, and came out holding a knife in his hand.
"This is a divine talisman."
Chen Tai'a placed the short blade on the table and said softly, his eyes fixed on the blade.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu was taken aback.
He immediately looked at the short blade known as the Divine Symbol, and his eyes lit up.
"You know about divine runes?"
Chen Tai'a said.
The tone had already become somewhat unfriendly.
The Divine Talisman, as a symbol of the emperors of the Great Qin Domain, is known to very few, but those who do know it are all people standing at the pinnacle of this world.
Zhou Mu smiled meaningfully.
He looked at Chen Tai'a.
Finally, I remembered who this person, white from head to toe, was.
Chen Tai'a
Officials under the Crown Prince's Palace of the Great Qin Region.
After the crown prince ascended the throne, Chen Tai'a seized power and became second only to the emperor. Coupled with his unparalleled swordsmanship, he dominated the region.
After transmigrating, when he was still Emperor Guangwu of Zhou, he led the allied forces and was severely damaged by the Qin army under the command of Chen Tai'a, which depleted their strength.
The unification of the Nine Provinces was halted for a full decade, and the project was even nearly overthrown.
At that time, Chen Tai'a's forces had already begun to launch a counterattack against the allied forces led by Zhou Mu, and the allied forces were already showing signs of weakness. If this continued, Zhou Mu's wish to unify the nine provinces would vanish.
At this critical moment, the situation in the Great Qin region became unstable. The old emperor passed away, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to eliminate dissidents, he replaced Chen Tai'a, who was considered a pillar of the country. Otherwise, the final outcome would have been very different.
After Chen Tai'a died in despair, he went to his grave and personally lit an incense stick for him.
The saying goes that people with different paths cannot work together, but that doesn't affect their mutual appreciation.
The almost forgotten memories were reopened, and Zhou Mu was somewhat stunned.
After Chen Tai'a questioned him in a accusatory tone, he did not answer.
At this moment, Chen Tai'a perhaps realized that his tone was a bit too eager, so he softened it and said, "I will make a deal with you using a divine talisman."
"good."
Zhou Mu agreed without even thinking about it.
The divine talisman serves more than just the identity of the Qin royal family; most importantly, it is also a military talisman, capable of mobilizing the elite Qin army, which is exclusively under the Qin royal family's command.
The saying goes, "One becomes a god after a hundred battles," and the elite Qin soldiers who achieved godhood after a hundred battles deserve this honor.
It is said that the selection of Qin soldiers was extremely rigorous. The weakest Qin soldiers were at least at the Divine Realm level, and there were even Saint-level experts or Saint King-level experts in the army.
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
It was precisely by relying on the powerful Qin army that the Great Qin Domain became a renowned force across the Nine Provinces.
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation.
As for why Chen Tai'a would use the divine talisman as a bargaining chip, he didn't think about it in detail.
Chen Tai'a then smiled gently, "You'd better think this through. If the price for obtaining the divine talisman is something you can't afford, then..."
At this moment, Zhou Mu was overwhelmed with joy and immediately said, "There's nothing I can't afford. I'm about to have the divine talisman, so why would I care about those things? Tell me quickly, what will you give in exchange?"
Chen Tai'a smiled slightly and said, "Ye Mujiu."
"good……"
Zhou Mu immediately agreed.
etc.
Something seems off.
He suddenly raised his head, his expression changing slightly, and said, "Who are you talking about?"
Chen Tai'a said, "Ye Mujiu."
Zhou Mu narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "What do you mean?"
He stood up, his face already turning cold.
He made a move to go out.
