Chapter 684
Yu Shu puffed up in anger and ran quickly to the two men, and the more she said, the angrier she became, she directly took off the medicine basket at her waist and threw it to the ground.
"If I had known this, why would I have worked so hard to go up the mountain to collect medicine and come back to save your lives? I might as well have let you all die!"
Looking at Princess Yushu in a fury, both of them were like frosted aubergines, timid and weak, not daring to squeak.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry, I guess you haven't slept or eaten well these days, just in time, my barbecue is ready, come and taste how it tastes!" Li Linfei on the side spoke up to break this awkward silence.
"And you, you just watch the two of them fool around like this and don't do anything about it?"
Li Linfei shrugged his shoulders and said, "What do I care? I'm not the parent of these two childish kids, so I don't have the obligation to spoil them, right? If you want to fight, you can fight. It's so festive to beat a dog's brain out of a human's head, it won't kill you anyway!"
Li Linfei's words almost killed all three of them, but they did soften the anger, or rather divert it, and Yi Xiaochuan took the opportunity to pick up the medicine basket on the ground and walk to Yushu's side.
"I'm sorry, Yushu, we shouldn't have done that."
Yi Xiaochuan handed the medicine basket to Yushu and then said, "You're right, your future, should be decided by you!"
Meng Tian on the side also stood up with a strong breath, "The last general has angered the princess in a moment of confusion, but please also consider that this matter concerns the relationship between the Great Qin and Tu'an, so please also think twice."
Li Linfei put down the barbecue in his hand and turned his head to look at the three men, Yi Xiaochuan first yelled at Meng Tian angrily and then turned to persuade Yushu, but the result was not helpful, the answer Yushu gave was without a doubt the one he wanted the least.
"I've decided, I'm going to Xianyang!"
"Why ah! Are you really willing to go and be a little wife to that old man?"
Yi Xiaochuan was anxious, but Yushu looked at Yi Xiaochuan with a look that you should understand and said, "I won't forget my duty for my own selfish desires!"
Speaking here, Yushu's tone also gradually became agitated, "At the top of Tu'an Mountain, you gave up your chance to escape alone for the lives of dozens of people, and now behind me are tens of thousands of Tu'an's people! If it were you, what choice would you have made?"
"I'm a man, that's the responsibility a man should take." Yi Xiaochuan had understood, but was still reluctantly trying to go on convincing Yushu.
"But I'm a princess!" But if Yushu could be convinced that easily, she wouldn't be Yushu.
"A princess is responsible for her country! So I can only make the best choice! No matter how cruel it is!"
Look at that! See? Isn't Yushu beautiful? No, she's beautiful, but this character, this choice, is unacceptable to all men! What normal man would not want to wake up to the power of the world and lie in the lap of a beautiful woman as long as he has the possibility of strength? And who has not wanted to embrace the right and the left, to enjoy the blessings of all? Who has not wanted to be drunk in a pile of pink?
"Princess Yushu, Yi Xiaochuan, and this General Meng Tian Meng, I think you have overlooked something and someone?" Li Linfei drew up the giant sword he had stuck to one side and stepped up to the three men.
"I think the person who can really decide whether Princess Yushu stays or goes, or even whether the three of you live or die these days, should be me! Not any one of you three!"
The three men were startled and turned their gazes towards Li Linfei in unison, even as Meng Tian had taken a full body guard stance.
"Secondly, you are now not on the normal road to peace, but have been hijacked and sabotaged, and you have all fallen off the cliff."
"Which many people would have known, or would have known by now, after all the two horses and the wreckage of that carriage were quite obvious! That high up the cliff, in everyone's perception, you are all now dead men who have fallen to pulp, so whether you return to Tu'an, head for Xianyang, or are killed here by me, no one will ever know!"
At this point, Li Linfei turned to face Yushu: "Therefore, before you arrive at Xianyang, you are actually dead to Great Qin and Tu'an, someone who no longer exists, and you do not need to carry any safety and responsibility for Tu'an, and the relationship between Great Qin and Tu'an will not be decided by a dead person."
"When the time comes, someone will naturally track down who broke the peace, and a new candidate will naturally come forward to renew the peace, and someone will even put the matter over the heads of the enemy to exclude dissent, for example, to use it against the descendants of the nobles of the six kingdoms."
"So, tell me now, do you still want to go to Xianyang?" Every word of Li Linfei's words struck at the heart of Yushu, and at the hearts of the three men, and though the words were not pleasant, they were the real truth!
"Thief! How dare you compel the princess in such a way?" Listening to the sound of Meng Tian's furious roar behind him.
Li Linfei laughed and turned to look at Meng Tian: "How dare you? A strong fist is the truth! I am stronger than you, so I can decide your little life! I can even decide your little life, you say I an dare."
As he spoke, Li Linfei threw the sword in his hand at Meng Tian's feet and lay down across the ground with a muffled thud, "Nah, don't say I'm bullying the crippled! I don't need you to fight me, if you can lift this sword off the ground and do a set of swordplay to make me happy, I'll count you as a winner, and I'll even help you take Yushu to Xianyang!"
Meng Tian's spirit shook at his words, "Is that true?"
Meng Tian didn't know what state he was in at the moment. If Li Linfei wanted to kill them, it would take him no effort at all, not to mention him, even if the three of them were to join forces.
So at this moment, Li Linfei's words were like hope falling from the sky for him, and it was a pleasant surprise!
"A man has to spit on the ground and smash a hole in it! I'm a man, and what I say is a promise I can't keep!"
Meng Tian immediately shouted a good word, and then bent down to reach for the sword hilt.
Chapter 685
"Hey! Which end are you from, anyway?" Li Linfei's words made Meng Tian happy, but it made Yi Xiaochuan not agree.
"Of course it's your head, we're not the usual relationship, we're old folks and master brothers, and we're also smoke relatives, of course we're towards you! What else do you think I was talking so much about just now?"
"Then why did you still let him take the sword and say that you would help him when he took it up?"
Li Linfei's words gave Yi Xiaochuan a piece of mind, but he still didn't understand what Li Linfei was thinking with his last move.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to lift it! Not to mention that he is now seriously injured and crippled, even when he was intact, it would be difficult for him to lift this sword of mine! Do you think my sword is a hollowed out piece?"
"It's made of high manganese steel and patterned hundred-alloyed steel, forged by machine using a clamping steel forging method, and weighs one hundred and eighty-six pounds, which is still our modern weight; if you change it to the weight of this Qin Dynasty, it would be three hundred and seventy-two pounds!"
"Just the way he is now, if he can lift it up and perform another set of swordplay, I'll dismantle that car of mine and take the bow plate and bearing steel to build him a set of divine weapons!" The system's products must be the best.
......
"This is Xianyang City! Yu Shu, it's not too late for you to regret it!"
In the cave that day, even though Li Linfei had spoken to that extent, he still failed to make Yushu change her mind.
In the end, although Meng Tian had finally raised his sword in a desperate attempt to spit out blood, he was unable to make half a move and almost had his foot chopped off by the sword that had fallen out of his hand.
But Li Linfei still helped him to escort Yushu to Xianyang, because he failed to convince Yushu, but Yushu convinced Yi Xiaochuan, who then convinced Guo Dong, and after Yi Xiaochuan and Meng Tian recovered from their wounds, the four of them went on their way, and it took them nearly a month to walk all the way back to Xianyang City from the border gate.
"Brother Li, you don't have to say anything, I'm not going to change my mind!"
But even now, outside this Xianyang City, Yushu still hadn't changed her decision, and Li Linfei was completely and utterly dead to her! Looking at Yushu and then at Yi Xiaochuan, Li Linfei shook his head and sighed.
But in reality, it was only the result of these two holy bitches' own making.
After a moment of silence, Li Linfei took out a bullet and a monocular and handed them to Yushu: "In that case, then I cannot deny your choice."
"But you are calling me big brother after all, let me give you two gifts before being big brother's parting gift."
He pointed to the monocular in Yushu's left hand, "This allows you to see people's faces clearly from miles away, so if you miss someone, you can stand high up in the palace and use it to look out, and maybe you'll see the person you want to meet!"
And then pointed to the bullet in her other hand, "If one day you figure it out and want to leave, then send someone to take this bullet to the south gate of Xianyang City and find the Li Mansion with the gate half red and half gold, I will kill you when I see this bullet and snatch you out of the palace and send you to wherever you think of!"
After saying that Li Linfei didn't care what Yu Shu thought anymore, but turned his head to look at Yi Xiaochuan and Meng Tian: "You guys rest this last night outside this city again, you've walked for so long and finally reached the end, you're very tired, rest for one night for a final farewell."
"If there's anything you need to do, just come to my house and look for me, especially you, Xiaochuan, Pheasant and Lord Lu are still waiting for you. You have to come home and pay your respects to your father-in-law no matter what!"
Without waiting for the three men to reply or to stay, Li Linfei waved his hand and marched into Xianyang City, returning to his house.
The next day, at noon, Yi Xiaochuan came to see Lord Lu after Yushu had entered the palace, but he spent the rest of the day out drinking, going out every day at dawn and only being brought back at midnight in a carriage, drunk and unconscious.
There were many people who drank, and many who got drunk, but there were not many who got drunk all day long, and so the story soon reached Meng Tian's ears.
Immediately, he had someone take him to the tavern where Yi Xiaochuan was drinking, and at that moment, the whole tavern was laughing because Yi Xiaochuan was talking about cocktails and boredom.
Jokes about Yi Xiaochuan the drunkard's laughter was ringing out for days!
"He's my brother, do you guys think he's funny?"
With a thud, Meng Tian stood his sword on the table, and looking at the shape and outfit of the sword, the discerning knew immediately that Meng Tian was not to be trifled with, so they immediately shut up and ran away without hesitation, driven by Meng Tian.
Even though there were no more people present and only the two of them were left, the conversation between them was not at all pleasant, as the saying goes, and it was only a matter of a few words before Meng Tian could not stay any longer and could only turn away with a sigh of anger.
Before he left, he left a message for Yi Xiaochuan, telling him that if he had anything to do in the future, he could always come to him.
After Meng Tian left, Yi Xiaochuan lost his interest in drinking and took a long time to calm down and change his place to continue drinking, but just as he picked up his bowl of wine, there was a sound of whipping and scolding outside the door.
Although San Bao, the fat man, had unclean hands and feet and was not a firm stander, but his heart was quite good. Yi Xiaochuan wanted to drink, then he smelled the wine and found Cui Wenzi's good wine, and then reunited these two old friends again.
"Old Cui, this wine of yours, ah, still smells as good as when I first smelt it!"
"I told you we'd meet again! All you have to do is smell this wine, and you will definitely be able to see me!"
Cui Wenzi smiled, but Yi Xiaochuan slowly put down the wine bowl with a sigh, "This wine has not only let me see an old friend, but also reminded me of many past events."
"Susu, she has long since perished, and Gao Yao, her life and death are unknown, so the fragrance of this wine is still there, but the old man is no longer there!"
Chapter 686
On Yi Xiaochuan's side, he reunited with his old friend Cui Wenzi and then remembered the past, while not far away on the drying side, there were two people who did look at the two in the tavern from afar to talk about these something.
"Am I right? The current Yi Xiaochuan is not turning into a rotten drunkard, but what he wants now is to be rotten, only then can he forget some things. As the saying goes, a drunkenness relieves a thousand sorrows, now he just wants to be drunk, and also doesn't want to know anything except to be drunk!"
Not far from the tavern, Li Linfei and Meng Tian sat by the first floor window of an upscale tavern watching the two from afar.
"Do you see how he looks now, does he look like he's drunk?" Meng Tian was silent, and finally just put down his wine bowl and stood up.
"I know, that incident really hit him hard, it's just that, just let him be for now, after all, it's me who owes him too much, I'll trouble you to take care of him during this time."
Li Linfei smiled, "All right, that's not a problem, as long as you sell the items I gave you for a good price, I'll buy all the taverns in Xianyang and let him drink!"
Although he didn't say anything, on the third day he sold the five small palm-sized mirrors that Li Linfei had given him, as well as ten of the cheapest and most inferior wind-up eight-tone boxes, and sent several carts of gold cakes, amounting to more than three thousand taels.
These were afterthoughts, but after Meng Tian left, Li Linfei calmed his excitement and stepped forward to the tavern where Yi Xiaochuan was.
"Yo, what a fragrant wine!"
"Hm? Li Linfei, you're here? Come and try it, Lao Cui's fine wine, not to mention in this Qin Dynasty, you won't find such a good wine even in our place!"
Once he saw Li Linfei coming, Yi Xiaochuan was not surprised at all. If Meng Tian could find himself, although it was not so much that he had no other choice but to find Guo Dong, he would certainly go to Guo Dong for questioning first, and only then would he ask Li Linfei to lead the way to him.
Yi Xiaochuan wanted to get drunk, but sometimes things just don't work out that way. The more you want to get drunk, the more sober you become, until you exceed your body's limit, and then you fall unconscious, just like his current situation.
He had just gotten so drunk in another tavern that he didn't care if everyone made a joke of him, but now he was in a sad state of reminiscence.
"It's really good wine! Old Cui, you must be the divine doctor Cui Wenzi, who is known as the wine immortal and subversive doctor, right? I've heard a lot about you, Li Yun Li Lin Fei, and I would like to thank the divine doctor for saving Xiao Chuan's life in the first place, and also for the divine doctor's kindness in making her sister Susu whole!"
Cui Wenzi was stunned, "Her sister! You are Miss Susu's elder brother?"
Yi Xiaochuan interjected from the side, "He is not Susu's brother, Susu only has one sister. But Susu's sister is now his wife, so to put it mildly, he is Susu's brother-in-law, and Susu is considered his sister!"
Cui Wenzi nodded and sighed with regret, "Alas, it's just a pity that there was only one copy of the medicine back then, and Miss Susu insisted repeatedly and even forced herself to death, so in the end I could only watch such a good girl die right in front of me, this is really the biggest regret of my years of practicing medicine!"
Talking about this matter, the three men all let out a long sigh, and coincidentally poured wine from their bowls on the ground, offering a remote tribute to Susu, and when San Bao saw that the atmosphere was somewhat dull, he hurriedly changed the subject.
"Sir, it's that, that that, you just now that strange move, how so drunk casually two strokes, and then hit me?"
Cui Wenzi was happy: "Hey, I'm a person who has always loved wine like life, and when I'm drunk I inevitably run into some trouble, so over the years, I've worked out a set of drunken fists and drunken swords!"
Li Lin Fei Dong raised an eyebrow: "Drunken fist? I've heard of a set of kung fu called Drunken Fist back home, and someone has combined it with another set of Monkey Fist, which is somewhat the same, to form a set of Drunken Monkey Fist, so is it possible that your set of kung fu is also similar?"
Cui Wenzi was delighted to hear this, "Oh? Someone else in the world has thought of the same thing as me? Zi Liang, can you show me how to do it?"
"No problem, but it's a secret that they don't pass on, so I only know a rough resemblance, so don't laugh at me if I don't look like a dog instead of a tiger! Besides, I need to borrow your wine for a while!" Naturally, Li Linfei would not push his luck. He had deliberately said this Drunken Fist and Drunken Monkey Fist to lure Cui Wenzi in, and naturally, he had already prepared for this.
After all, he and Cui Wenzi did not have any friendship before, without something positive with him, how to become good friends, and how to get the first-hand news of the Longevity Pill at any time in the future, or in the face of the Longevity Pill, what person can not be greedy?
Using the Drunken Fist and Drunken Monkey Fist as bait, Li Linfei managed to befriend Cui Wenzi, and for nearly a year afterwards, the four of them spent almost every day in a bamboo forest in Lanchi, drinking, laughing and practicing martial arts, living a happy and free life, and although Li Linfei was not a material for practicing this martial art, he was a good material to be a companion.
Especially the huge sword and shield set, in his hands, which is as strong as an ox, turns him into a moving fortress, which is perfect for Yi Xiaochuan to practise with!
The more you drink it, the better it is for your body, much better than some medicinal wines. Even Li Linfei, a modern man, salivates and never gets tired of drinking it, not to mention the people of the Qin Dynasty.
So, Qin Shi Huang, who had just returned from a private visit, was talking to Li Si about some state affairs, when he turned his nose and all his attention was drawn to the peculiar fragrance of wine, he immediately stopped the carriage and followed the fragrance of wine to find Yi Xiaochuan and the three treasures who were drinking and practicing their swords.
