Chapter 31 Xiang Yu: Please accept me as your disciple
The next morning, after absorbing the first ray of purple air from the sunrise, Ye Yu went down the pavilion and went to the main hall. The two women were already waiting for him.
"Everything has been taken care of, brother. We are ready to leave at any time."
Lu Ling asked her senior brother to sit down and have breakfast, and said excitedly.
"Eat slowly, there's no rush."
Seeing Lu Ling pushing a lot of breakfast in front of Ye Yu, Qi Xianyu glared at her female disciple in annoyance and said in a soft voice.
Lu Ling was indeed excited at the thought of going to live with her senior brother for a while.
It has been more than ten days since Ye Yu left Yinxian Peak. It is time to go back. His master and junior sisters are reluctant to let him go, and since his master can rely on Ye Yu for her cultivation, he simply takes them with him.
It just so happened that the master-aunt was a little bored of staying in the mansion for too long, so she decided to change the environment. The Yinxian Peak was quiet and peaceful, and it was a good place for self-cultivation.
After breakfast, everyone went out.
Six or seven carriages were already ready at the door. The courtyard of Yinxian Peak was not very big, so the maids from the Qi Mansion only brought more than ten people.
"Sir, you can set off anytime!"
Han Xin came forward diligently to ask Ye Yu for instructions.
Yes, last night Ye Yu went out and talked with several swordsmen, and accepted them as outer disciples. Han Xin actually refused to join the army, so Ye Yu directly counted him as one.
As a result, Ye Yu had six more disciples, but Ye Yu thought the word "Master" sounded a bit unpleasant, so he asked them to call him "Sir".
"Let's go!"
Ye Yu said.
It was still early when a convoy of horse-drawn carriages quickly disappeared in front of the gate of Qi Mansion.
Not long after the convoy left, a burly, resolute-looking young man arrived at the gate of Qi's mansion, then fell to his knees at the door.
"I beg the immortal to accept me as his disciple, and I will serve you as a dog and a horse..."
Xiang Yu shouted loudly.
At the gate of Qi Mansion, Xiang Yu bowed loudly, but no one inside responded.
However, Xiang Yu had already been mentally prepared for this phenomenon.
Because the previous incident involving several swordsmen and Han Xin had already spread widely in Teng County.
Therefore, Xiang Yu planned to join those swordsmen and Han Xin and kneel in front of Qi Mansion all day, hoping to have a chance to become Ye Yu's disciple.
"When we climbed the courtyard of Hidden Immortal Peak that day, Immortal Ye did not come out to settle accounts with me, so he probably still does not remember my face completely. If he really wanted to take a disciple, he would definitely not miss a person like me who was born with supernatural powers."
Xiang Yu thought to himself.
This idea came to him after he saw Ye Yu practicing fighting techniques on the river yesterday, and he was moved by his uncle's words.
Yes! If you can't beat them, join them!
If I could become Ye Yu's disciple and master the magic, I would have no problem overthrowing the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.
He thought about this matter again and again, discussed it with his uncle, and after obtaining his uncle's consent, he rushed to Qi Mansion early today.
"It seems that those people have been unable to become Ye Yu's disciples, and they have begun to slack off. They haven't even come yet."
Xiang Yu knelt alone at the door of Qi's mansion. After a long time, he still didn't see Gai Nie, Han Xin and others coming. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
How can you impress the immortal with just this little bit of perseverance?
It was already noon and Xiang Yu still hadn't seen Gai Nie and the others. A hint of doubt arose in his mind. Did they give up completely?
At this time, Ye Yu, Qi Xianyu and others had already left Teng County for a long time.
After traveling all day, we arrived at a town before sunset.
The room was booked and everyone checked in.
"Madam, Sir, if you need any instructions, please feel free to call downstairs at any time. I will serve you attentively." Junior Sister Lu Ling only came to chat with Ye Yu, but when she heard the words of the shopkeeper, her neck gradually turned red.
Before she could retort, the shop owner had already gone downstairs.
In fact, it is not surprising that the hotel owner thinks so. Among the people staying here, Ye Yu, Qi Xianyu and Lu Ling are the center.
At Lu Ling's age, it was normal to be a married woman in the Qin Dynasty. Some people even got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Lu Ling was so embarrassed that she quickly took her personal maid Xiaolian back to her room.
"Miss, why are you shy..."
Xiaolian approached Lu Ling with a smile, seeking revenge for the teasing she had given her yesterday.
"Why don't I go ask the young master? He must like you, too. Look how well he treats you."
At the beginning, the servants and maids in the Qi Mansion all called Ye Yu "Master Ye", but as time went on, everyone automatically dropped the surname and just called him "Master", which seemed more intimate.
"You're going to die. I think you're thinking about love and want to be his personal maid and marry him, right?"
When Lu Ling heard Xiaolian's words, she was immediately ashamed and pulled her ear viciously. Xiaolian had no choice but to beg for mercy in pain.
While the two girls were playing, Ye Yu looked at the birds that were suddenly startled in the forest in the distance, and frowned slightly, as if something had happened?
"What a disaster! What a disaster! Everyone, stay out of the house! That damned giant insect is here again."
Soon, there was a burst of rapid gong beating sounds, followed by a loud shouting voice coming from far away.
"Dear guests, those who have weapons should take them, and those who don't have weapons should take their forks, shoulder poles, and hatchets. Another big beast has come out of the mountains."
Hearing the loud shouts coming from outside, the store owner who had just received Ye Yu and others became nervous and began to ask the guests to take up weapons and take precautions.
Among them, the Qi Mansion had the most people, but except for the coachman, the others were maids. They didn't realize how powerful Ye Yu was and were all scared.
In addition, swordsmen such as Gai Nie were also ready for battle.
In ancient times, the tiger problem was very serious, especially in villages and towns with less than a large population, and in nearby deep mountains and dense forests, where people were often eaten by tigers.
Before the invention of firearms, it was very difficult to kill a tiger. Not only was it huge in size, but it was also extremely flexible, fast in movement, and extremely powerful. Once a person encountered one, the odds of survival were almost certain.
But if soldiers surrounded and attacked the tiger, it would escape into the forest and could not be caught up.
Therefore, being able to hunt a tiger is a great honor. If one can kill a tiger alone, it is simply like a fairy tale. Such a person must be full of martial virtues and be regarded as a hero.
This is why Wu Song's killing of the tiger caused such a sensation, and even made his name known throughout the area within a hundred miles. He was even able to become an official and was directly promoted to the position of the head of the infantry.
In modern times, this feeling is not as great as seeing an ordinary person kill a small Gundam with his bare hands, but the shock is not much different.
"roar~"
Just when everyone was getting nervous, they suddenly heard the roar of a tiger.
"roar~"
"roar~"
After one tiger's roar, two more tiger roars were heard in other places.
Surprisingly, more than one tiger entered the town, and they came in large groups, which was already a tiger disaster.
Hearing the three tigers roaring in response to each other, the residents of the town were already terrified to the point of pale faces and trembling all over.
Tigers can jump very high, and even low courtyard walls cannot stop them. Dilapidated wooden doors can be easily smashed. With so many of them appearing, there will definitely be casualties in the town today.
Thinking of this, how could the people in the town not be shocked.
"You are a bunch of evil beasts. I just want to use you as an experiment."
At this moment, the clear and magnetic voice of a man resounded throughout the town, startling several tigers that were preparing to hunt.
