Chapter 22: Ying Zheng: I have several daughters who can be betrothed to you, sir.
"Mr. Ye is traveling far away?"

As the news from Hidden Immortal Peak arrived, Ying Zheng suddenly stood up from his seat.

"You won't never come back, will you?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but reveal an anxious expression on his face. Ye Yu was the only true cultivator he had met in all these years. If he never came back, he really didn't know when he would be able to meet a truly virtuous person again.

"I heard that the letter was sent by a servant of the Lu Mansion. It seems to have come from Teng County, which is not far away."

Seeing Ying Zheng's anxious expression, Zhao Gao hurriedly told Ying Zheng the rest of the news.

After hearing what Zhao Gao said, Ying Zheng felt relieved.

"No, we still have to deepen the relationship between Mr. Ye and me."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but think in his heart.

Otherwise, if Ye Yuzhen travels far away to other places and he can't find him, he would be really helpless.

"I have several daughters who are of the right age. If they can marry Mr. Ye, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up slightly.

He immediately ordered Zhao Gao to draft an edict and asked several of his princesses of marriageable age to come to Pei County.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gao's heart skipped a beat, and he obviously guessed some of the First Emperor's intentions.

Mr. Ye is just a young man, not married yet, and has real abilities. It is obviously normal for Ying Zheng to want to facilitate these things.

"Master Ye has left Yinxian Peak. I hope he won't come back!"

Xiang Yu couldn't help but say after hearing the news.

They have been staying in Pei County during this period, wanting to assassinate Ying Zheng, but unfortunately the defense is really tight, and Ying Zheng has hardly gone out since the last time he visited Ye Yu.

At the same time, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang also found out that an important figure had entered Ye Yu's mansion that day, and it should be the tyrant Ying Zheng.

The thing they feared most happened. Ying Zheng really came into contact with Ye Yu.

It is also rumored that Ye Yu has known this important figure for a long time and they are old acquaintances, so so many people cannot enter Ye Yu's mansion, but Ying Zheng can.

Hearing this news, even Xiang Yu couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness.

With the help of such a true alchemist, the difficulty of overthrowing the tyrannical Qin Dynasty increased dramatically.

"Instead of expecting these, it is better to find a way to break the situation."

There was a cold light flashing in Xiang Liang's eyes.

During the past half month, they were not just waiting blindly. They also gathered more than a dozen loyal members of the Xiang family, waiting for Ying Zheng to reveal a flaw so that they could ambush and kill him.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, they still didn't find any opportunity. The defense was too tight. Even if there were hundreds of cavalrymen on the march, not to mention that a dozen people were useless, even if there were more than a hundred people, they would not be enough to withstand the attack of hundreds of cavalrymen.

"Although Ye Yu is a supernatural being, it seems that his fighting ability is not so strong that no one can defeat him. If we use bows and crossbows to encircle and suppress him, maybe it will be effective?"

Unable to find an opportunity to kill Ying Zheng, Xiang Liang could not help but turn his attention to Ye Yu, which could be regarded as a help in killing Ying Zheng.

After all, it is always unsettling to have a mysterious alchemist with power beyond the mundane helping Ying Zheng.

Moreover, Ye Yu has been very popular recently and is revered as an immortal.

However, Xiang Liang analyzed the rumored attack range of Ye Yu and found that it was no farther than a bow and crossbow. Although lightning is scary, it is useless if it can't hit people.

Besides, his place was easy to find, it was at Yinxian Peak, in a remote area, with no guards, and he was all alone.

"My only concern now is that I heard that he can fly dozens of feet high and walk on leaves without falling."

Although Xiang Liang thought that Ye Yu had let Xiang Yu go last time, since he followed the tyrant Ying Zheng, he was also the enemy of the nobles of the six countries, so he had to find a way to kill him.

Just when Xiang Liang was scratching his head trying to figure out how to plot against Ye Yu or Ying Zheng.

By the evening, Ye Yu had arrived in Teng County of Xue County. Following the address on the silk book, he found the place where his master lived and knocked on the door.

Soon, the courtyard door was opened, and a pretty maid appeared in front of Ye Yu. "Who are you looking for?"

When the maid saw Ye Yu's tall figure, handsome face, and extraordinary temperament, she blushed and asked Ye Yu.

"Xu An's disciple, Ye Yu, is here to visit..."

Ye Yu bowed to the maid and said.

Before Ye Yu could finish his words, he suddenly heard a woman's voice behind the door, and the door was opened.

Xu An was the name of the original owner's master.

After hearing Ye Yu introduce himself, a woman's surprised voice suddenly came.

"How come it's here so quickly?"

The door was fully opened, and it turned out that there was a woman hiding behind the door. The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light blue dress, with a graceful figure and beautiful looks.

There was a hint of alertness in her surprised voice, so her pretty face was slightly frozen. However, when her autumn eyes swept over Ye Yu's face and figure, her originally slightly frozen face suddenly relaxed a little.

The truth is that after Ye Yu had his true essence tempered by the Purple Qi Refining Method, his already handsome figure and appearance became even more optimized and transformed, approaching perfection.

Now even the Erlang Shen Jiao and Bai Gu in the TV dramas and movies of his previous life are slightly inferior to Ye Yu, because just by standing there, Ye Yu seems to have a halo of beauty, with his skin glowing with a delicate and crystal-clear glow, like a beautiful jade.

Whether it is humans or other animals, they naturally have a lot of liking for beautiful things, and this woman is no exception.

Ye Yu naturally knew why the woman behaved in this way. The main reason was that Teng County was nearly two hundred miles away from Pei County in Sishui County, and it would take three days for the Lu family's freight carriage to carry the letter back.

Calculating the time, today is the third day. Ye Yu should have just received the letter. How could it come so soon?
"We happened to meet on the road, and learned that Master was seriously ill, so I hurried over."

Ye Yu took out the silk book sent to him from his arms and said.

"So it's really my senior brother, please come in quickly!"

Seeing the silk book in Ye Yu's hand, the woman confirmed that it was the letter she had sent out on behalf of her master. A smile immediately broke out on her face and she quickly invited Ye Yu in.

After talking to the woman for a few words, Ye Yu realized that the woman in front of him was his master's disciple, named Lu Ling.

"How is Master's health?"

Ye Yu asked.

“For the symptoms of qi disease, doctors are helpless. Taking herbal medicine can provide some relief, but the effect is not great.

Senior Brother Ye, please sit down for a while. I will go and see if the master has woken up. The master will be very happy to see you."

Speaking of the master's aunt, Junior Sister Lu Ling's face suddenly became a little ugly, and then she hurriedly invited Ye Yu to walk through the front yard and sit in the hall.

She immediately asked a maid in the front yard to serve tea to the guests and went to report the news.

The courtyard where the master lived was not small, and was elegantly built everywhere, with pavilions, towers, and winding corridors. It was obvious that she was also wealthy.

"If you are good at being a Taoist priest, you will have a bright future!"

Ye Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this profession.

The most successful alchemist among them was Xu Fu, who was trusted by the First Emperor and enjoyed endless wealth and splendor. When he could no longer deceive people, he took away countless wealth and thousands of people and fled directly to Japan to become a local emperor.

Not long after, Lu Ling came again and said that the master had woken up, but was weak and bedridden. Ye Yu immediately followed her to a bedroom. The whole room was filled with the smell of medicine. On the couch lay a haggard and pale-faced woman. The graceful figure from before could be vaguely seen.

Although he was sick, it could be seen that he was not too old, around thirty years old.

"Ahem, I saw you once ten years ago. You were still a child then. I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown into such a handsome and outstanding person."

The woman on the couch waved at Ye Yu, motioning him to sit in front of the couch. She looked Ye Yu up and down, and was about to say something when she started coughing again.

Ye Yu saw that she was coughing, had difficulty breathing, and seemed to be covered in cold sweat. It was obvious that she was very ill.

No wonder that letter sounded almost like a death announcement.
