Chapter 14: Xiang Yu: Even if there are only three households in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin
Pei County.

"What have these people done wrong?"

"Have you heard? These are all alchemists. My god, there are at least fifty or sixty of them!"

"I heard that these alchemists poisoned and deceived the emperor. Not only will they all be beheaded, but all their clans will be implicated!!!"

"No way, someone would be so bold as to poison the emperor? Hiss, this is simply unimaginable."

At this time, a series of men were dragged out on the streets of the downtown area and forced to kneel on the ground. Such a big commotion immediately caused a sensation in the whole city, and countless people were talking about it.

"cut!"

As the executioner gave the order, heads fell to the ground one after another, triggering waves of exclamations from the people.

Soon, dozens of headless corpses appeared, and the execution ground on the busy street was already covered in blood, which was a shocking sight.

"Ye Yu is also an alchemist, why didn't the First Emperor chop him off?"

In a corner of the downtown area, on a bullock cart, there was a middle-aged man sitting on a chair, his feet clamped in clamps, his right hand also tied with cloth, his hair disheveled, and he looked like a scoundrel. He was clapping his left hand and shouting.

If anyone from Lu's residence had been present that day, they would have recognized this man for sure. He was none other than the notorious villain Liu Bang some time ago.

"Brother Liu, please be quiet!"

Fan Kuai stood behind the chair to support it, fearing that Liu Bang would fall down in excitement.

The methods used by Fan Bei and other hooligans were still a bit rough. Ye Yu said before that Liu Bang had disciplined them. After Liu Bang was dragged away, it took a long time for Liu Bang to recover from the electric shock.

Then Fan Bei and others finished what they said and found Liu Bang, determined to break his legs. As expected, they broke Liu Bang's legs.

Because Liu Bang used his hands to block the attack because of the pain, his right hand was fractured and he became a disabled person.

Fan Kuai had also heard about Liu Bang's affairs and was naturally speechless about his behavior. He was now helping to send Liu Bang back to his hometown in the countryside when he passed by here and saw the excitement.

In a corner of the busy city opposite Liu Bang, there was also a young man with a burly build and a resolute face watching this scene.

"Uncle, it's not surprising that Ying Zheng killed the alchemist, but why did he drag it to Pei County to kill him?"

When the young man saw so many alchemists being beheaded, he couldn't help but ask an old man next to him in a low voice in surprise.

"There is only one possibility! That is..."

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That means Ying Zheng is also in Pei County!"

Although the old man's voice was low, it was powerful and affirmative.

There is only this explanation for why so many alchemists around Ying Zheng were taken to Pei County and beheaded.

"Ying Zheng is in Pei County, so can we..."

The burly young man's eyes lit up and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

As he spoke, his hand made a chopping motion.

"Yu'er, don't act rashly. Ying Zheng is traveling with a large number of heavily armored soldiers. We need to think carefully about this matter."

Xiang Liang looked at his excited nephew and couldn't help but put his hand on his shoulder to suppress his emotions.

Yes, this burly young man was none other than Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu who later became famous throughout the world.

Xiang Liang knew that Xiang Yu was gifted with extraordinary talents and amazing powers, so he was used to solving problems with force and was easily impulsive, so he had to teach him from time to time.

Even if he has the strength to lift a tripod, he is not invulnerable to swords and spears. Even if there are twenty enemies, they can be surrounded and killed.

If the enemy still has archers, a dozen of them are enough to strangle them, and great strength will be of no use.

This is the reality. Holding a knife is different from going bare-handed. Holding a knife with armor is different from holding a knife with plain clothes.

The elite soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding knives are equivalent to being blessed, with most of their bodies being invulnerable to swords and guns, difficult to be hurt by bows and arrows, and increased damage. Therefore, in all dynasties, there are few prohibitions on the possession of swords, but the private possession of armor is like treason, which is the reason.

Hearing his uncle say this, Xiang Yu's excitement slowly subsided.

"I heard that these alchemists made poison pills for Ying Zheng to take, but they failed to poison the tyrant to death. What a pity."

Xiang Yu couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Even if there are only three households in Chu, it will be Chu that will destroy Qin. The people of the six countries are now in turmoil, and the end will not be too far away."

Xiang Liang looked at the execution ground where the beheading had ended, and pulled Xiang Yu to the other side.

Originally, the two of them were just passing by here, but now if Ying Zheng was here, they could stay here and observe for a few days.

If we could find an opportunity to assassinate Ying Zheng, that would be perfect.

"Hahaha, isn't this that villain Liu Bang?"

"It's really miserable. Tsk tsk tsk."

"Those scoundrels in Fanbei used to be on friendly terms with Liu Bang, but now they show no mercy!"

"Who else can I blame? This is all his own fault."

The two of them had only been walking in the downtown area for a while when they saw people around them pointing at an ox cart not far away.

On the ox cart was a middle-aged man in his forties, with tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and the air of a ruffian.

Moreover, this person's hands and feet seemed to be injured, and only his left hand could move. When he heard the ridicule from everyone, he seemed to be indifferent.

It was just a pity for Fan Kuai, who was holding his chair from behind, and felt even more embarrassed.

Before Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu entered the city, they had apparently heard about what happened between Liu Bang and Ye Yu, and now they finally met the people involved.

"He is Liu Bang. This guy is really shameless."

Xiang Liang was amazed.

"He is just a scoundrel. How can he care about his reputation? And the alchemist named Ye Yu is probably no different from the alchemists who were killed."

Although the Xiang family is now in decline, they are still descendants of noble generals. Xiang Yu looks down on these ruffians.

There is also Ye Yu, who is now quite famous. According to the news Xiang Yu heard, he is just an alchemist and he doesn't know what kind of sleight of hand he used. It is simply ridiculous to say that it was thunder and lightning.

Among the many alchemists who were just ordered to be executed by Ying Zheng, there must have been many who knew some strange tricks. But they were still escorted to the execution ground. What was the difference between them and the chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered?

What Ye Xianren? He is nothing but the ignorant people here.

During the years that Xiang Yu followed Xiang Liang, he also met some alchemists. After digging out their backgrounds, he found out that they were all scammers.

"Hehe, uncle, I heard that the place where the alchemist of Hidden Immortal Peak lives is very magical. It has the effect of curing diseases if you get close to it. Why don't we go up and take a look? I want to see if that guy can really make thunder."

Xiang Yu suggested to Xiang Liang.

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Xiang Liang's heart was moved. Ying Zheng was in Pei County, and he must have heard about Ye Yu's affairs. Would he summon Ye Yu to learn some magic?
If so, perhaps we can find an opportunity to assassinate him?

But then he changed his mind and thought that Ying Zheng had killed a large number of alchemists and might no longer believe in them. Xiang Liang, who had just been a little excited, suddenly regained some calmness.

But it's just an idle flag, you can definitely go up and take a look.

Ye Yu naturally had no idea about the bustling situation in Pei County. He kept practicing until the sun went down and night fell, then he slowly opened his eyes.

Then Ye Yu jumped lightly and fell from the top of the mountain, as light as a feather. At this time, it can be seen that there is a faint and barely detectable whirlwind swirling under Ye Yu's feet.

Today, Ye Yu gained something from sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain and comprehending the mysterious material energy contained in the wind.

Although it cannot fly yet, it seems to be able to slow down its descent.
