Chapter 2222 - 2218: The Might of Sanqiu

Chapter 2222: Chapter 2218: The Might of Sanqiu

Your choices are now down to two, one is to give up Tang Ming, the son of Tang Mosheng. The other is to negotiate with West Desolation City.

In this way, West Desolation City seizes the initiative.

But Guo’s strategist didn’t expect that there was no Tang Ming on this carriage, only Hu Sanqiu.

If there was anyone from Fox Spirit Mountain that Guo’s strategist least wanted to encounter, it would be none other than Hu Sanqiu.

The whole West Desolation knows that Hu Sanqiu, the Fox Demon, is skilled in both charming men and women with exquisite demon arts.

As long as she stands there, she can withstand thousands of troops.

All these years, how did Fox Bachang manage to guard Fox Spirit Mountain? Rather than saying the Eight Elders of Fox Spirit Mountain have extraordinary power, it is better to say that Hu Sanqiu alone can suppress the three armies.

This kind of fox demon, let alone fighting her, before you realize it, your allies might already be helping her to stab you.

"Hahaha, I wondered who it was. Turns out it’s Senior Sanqiu."

Guo’s strategist took a deep breath and quickly dismounted from the colorful plum deer and gave a slight bow to Hu Sanqiu.

Hu Sanqiu nodded, "Little Guo, not bad. Back then when your master was alive, he was a distinguished guest in my Cave Mansion. I almost gave you a little master then. Sadly, this thing called time always flies by, and he’s been in the ground for how many years now."

Hu Sanqiu’s voice was full of lament, but it still twitched the corner of Guo’s strategist’s mouth.

The strategist known as Guo Cunhou. Back in the day when he came to West Desolation City, it was with a general named Hao Dong.

That general was quite capable and skilled in strategy, but his only flaw could be said to be his lechery.

At home, Hao Dong had nineteen wives, but even in West Desolation City, he remained wanton. In the end, somehow, he met Hu Sanqiu.

Hu Sanqiu’s beauty and enchantment attracted Hao Dong, and within days, they were living together.

Hu Sanqiu practiced the Replenishment Technique, and although Hao Dong was powerful, he couldn’t withstand it for many years.

As he watched Hao Dong’s health deteriorate, Guo’s strategist had advised Hao Dong more than once. But the weaker Hao Dong’s body became, the deeper his obsession with Hu Sanqiu.

Later, traces of a demon appeared outside West Desolation City. The Tower Master of West Desolate Tower took Hao Dong and the City Lord to eliminate the demon. Hao Dong died in that battle. Guo’s strategist Guo Cunhou was not dismissed by the second stationed Commander but was kept on.

Over these years, Guo Cunhou became an elder amongst the stationed forces in West Desolation City, having stayed there too long and seen too many people fall under Hu Sanqiu’s fox tail.

"What Senior Sanqiu said is right, I do occasionally visit his grave. I’m not sure where Senior Sanqiu is going. Recently, the Jiulong Dynasty has been restless, and even here in West Desolation City, there are rumors of a demon impersonating the son of Tang Mosheng, please be careful."

Guo Cunhou scrutinized Hu Sanqiu’s expression, wanting to discern something from her face.

But Hu Sanqiu unexpectedly had an icy expression: "Little Guo. What do you mean impersonating the son of Tang Mosheng? Tang Ming is the son of Tang Mosheng. Back then, when Tang Mosheng swore brotherhood with my elder brother Hu Jiusheng, he mentioned Tang Ming. And a marriage contract was made with our Fox Spirit Mountain’s little princess Hu Mei’er. How is it that in your West Desolation City, Tang Ming has become a demon?"

"Hahaha, Senior Sanqiu, the passage between Immortal Mountain and Taoyuan World has closed, and the son of Tang Mosheng hasn’t been taken to Immortal Mountain, but to Fox Spirit Mountain. Do you really think we’re all children? Fine. I won’t argue with you whether Tang Ming is a demon or not. Since there is no Tang Ming in the carriage, please attend to your business. We take our leave."

Guo Cunhou didn’t want to give Hu Sanqiu a chance to display her power, and he also knew that Tang Ming was likely the son of Tang Mosheng.

But if Tang Ming is the son of Tang Mosheng, then West Desolation City’s ruling status in West Desolation becomes precarious.

As a subordinate of those in power, Guo Cunhou naturally couldn’t allow the stationed forces who had given their hearts to Hu Sanqiu to know too much.

If they went back and spread rumors, it might put Wang Buqun in a very embarrassing position. This is not something Guo Cunhou wanted to see.

"Old Guo, let’s move now. If we capture that vixen, we could use her to threaten Fox Spirit Mountain."

As the troop was retreating, Wang Buqun looked at Guo Cunhou beside him.

Guo Cunhou’s gaze swept over the stationed forces behind Wang Buqun, and indeed, among them, there were already those who were displeased with Wang Buqun calling Hu Sanqiu a vixen.

However, since Wang Buqun was the Commander of the stationed forces and strong, they dared not oppose him.

Guo Cunhou sighed deeply and then said, "Commander, not only is Senior Sanqiu powerful, but she is also a distinguished guest of many lords in West Desolation City. It is said that both the City Lord and the Tower Master have some connections with her."

Guo Cunhou cunningly directed the stationed forces’ jealousy towards the Tower Master and City Lord. He believed that those who admired Hu Sanqiu among the stationed forces would support Wang Buqun even more because of this.

After all, Wang Buqun showed no interest in Hu Sanqiu, which even bordered on hostility, calling her a vixen.

Whereas the Tower Master and City Lord might well be intimate with Hu Sanqiu.

Wang Buqun also sensed that something felt off.

The nature of the West Desolation Old Demon and the West Desolate Tower Master was well-known to him.

Especially the West Desolate Tower Master, a person with no desires, focused solely on cultivation. Could such a person be bewitched by a vixen?

But since Guo Cunhou said so, it meant there was a reason behind his words. If not meant for him, then surely for others.

Wang Buqun glanced with the corner of his eye at the stationed forces following behind him. Indeed, their expressions had completely shifted from when they initially set out with him.

Wang Buqun thought to himself: "What a cunning fox."

Hu Sanqiu used her Magic Treasure, the Yin-Yang Robe, to gather Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er into her sleeve.

Seeing Wang Buqun and his entourage leave, Hu Sanqiu waved her hand, and Hu Mei’er and Tang Ming reappeared inside the carriage.

Tang Ming’s gaze was directed towards West Desolation City; "That guy named Guo, he’s not simple."

"He is the West Desolation City adviser, the longest-serving stationed Commander of West Desolation City. Not strong in combat, but is adept at strategy. Moreover, he is exceptionally skilled at influencing people. Over the years, the stationed Commanders of West Desolation City have changed many times, but Guo Cunhou’s position has remained unmoved."

When mentioning Guo Cunhou, Hu Sanqiu’s eyes were filled with caution.

Tang Ming displayed a faint smile on his face: "Third Aunt, do you think we could recruit this Guo Cunhou?"
