Although Zhang Yi had been whipped for a while, it had only hurt his flesh. The main reason for his coma was still hunger, and the weakness caused by hunger.
Zhang Yi had eaten a lot of food when he was talking to Bai Shun, but that was just an illusion that he had been hungry for a long time. There were only ordinary pancakes and gruel in the Chu family's house. Li Xiang simply returned to the city and went to the tavern to get a pot of stewed chicken.
Zhang Yi, who had been unconscious for a long time, woke up groggily and cried out that he was hungry.
The Chu girl who was chatting with Li Xiang hurriedly pushed the food in front of him. When Zhang Yi saw it, he did not care who pushed it over. He immediately grabbed it and wolfed it down.
Chu Yu was disturbed by Zhang Yi's loud eating and drinking. She was not in the mood to chat with Li Xiang and just watched. Zhang Yi swallowed the last bit of chicken and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt a little bloated and turned around. He happened to see Lady Chu again."Oh my god, a beauty."
Li Xiang, who was standing at the side, was speechless. This Zhang Yi was indeed the founder of the eloquent world. He called everyone he saw a beauty.
"You've said it twice. I know I'm a beauty now.”Chu Yu chuckled and pointed at Zhang Yi's head.
"Zhang Yi thanks Miss and Brother Li for saving us. I will repay you in the future.”Zhang Yi exhaled and said while rubbing his stomach that was finally full.
"Alright, alright. My name is Mi girl.”Chu Yu didn't care about Zhang Yi's repayment at all. She smiled indifferently.
"Fortunately, you didn't say your name was Mi Yue. Otherwise, I might have cut you in half.”Li Xiang snorted helplessly.
Li Xiang could allow Mi Bazi to appear, but he would never allow the name Mi Yue to appear in his ears or eyes.
"Mi Yue? Who is it?" Mi turned to Li Xiang with a puzzled look.
"One Mary Sue."
"Malisu? Which dialect? It's inexplicable. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.”Mi 'er shrugged.
"Wait! Mi? Young Lady is the descendant of a noble?" Zhang Yi asked with his eyes wide open.
One had to know that the surname Mi was a national surname in Chu.
"In the past, it was destroyed by that old man Zhao Yang.”Mi lowered her head, and her smile gradually disappeared.
"That's right! Old man!" Zhang Yi sat up with one hand on the wooden couch and cursed.
"If Young Lady hadn't been harmed by that old man to the point that your family was in decline, you would have been the descendant of the Duke. At this moment, you would either be married to a duke as a concubine, or the descendant of the monarch.”Zhang Yi shook his head and sighed.
"Tch, stronger than you!" The Mi girl shot Zhang Yi a disdainful look and retorted. She then cleared the dishes and walked out.
Zhang Yi was at a loss for words. He was indeed stronger than him because he didn't even have a thatched cottage and a bowl of gruel.
"Uh…Brother Li, how did you come to Chu? " Brother, you don't seem to be from Chu…" Zhang Yi knew that he wouldn't be able to get a good deal from Mi, so he turned to Bai Shun and asked.
"I was entrusted by someone to go out and do something." Li Xiang replied indifferently.
"Oh, Zhang Yi admires a trustworthy person. I don't know if brother needs Zhang Yi for anything, but Zhang Yi will definitely not decline.”Zhang Yi crossed his arms and straightened his body, as if he was showing respect.
"No need, I've already finished my work and am preparing to return. This time, I'm just passing by Chu to take a look.”
"Uh…seeing that brother has an outstanding temperament, you must not be an important minister of a country, but a famous person. If you can sponsor Zhang Yi with some money, Zhang Yi will definitely help you in the future.”Zhang Yi said to Bai Shun after a short silence.
"Pfft, don't be fooled by him. I've never seen anyone who makes a living by talking.”
Mi happened to open the door and come in. She laughed when she heard Zhang Yi's words.
"Not only can we make a living, but we can also make the country prosperous!”Seeing that Mi looked down on him, Zhang Yi immediately said loudly," If you don't believe me, I'll say it here. If I make a name for myself in the future, I'll help you marry into the royal family!"”
"Zhang Yi, you're going around boasting and bullying people, right?”Mi remembered that Zhang Yi had said something similar to what Bai Shun had said just now. She despised him even more, but she didn't have any ill intentions.
"Big talk deceives the world, not lies."
"Alright, then Zhang Yi, when will you make a name for yourself and when will you come in the future?”
Mi walked up to Zhang Yi with a smile, but Zhang Yi was speechless.
"You can't say it, right? Don't talk nonsense when you're full!”
Zhang Yi was once again defeated and hid in a corner to sulk. At this moment, the sound of horses could be heard from outside. A group of people stopped beside the small house in the forest.
"Man Yazi!"
Mi saw a young man among the crowd and ran over.
It turned out that this group of people was the group of princes and princes of the Yiqu Kingdom who had fled from the Qin Kingdom to the Chu Kingdom. The Chu Kingdom's Yin Zhaoyang received them so that they could return to rebuild the Yiqu Kingdom and cause more trouble for the Qin Kingdom. This time, the Chu Country received the warning that the Wei Country was about to start a war. Zhao Yang immediately thought of taking the opportunity to release the prince of the Yiqu Country and let the Qin Country be attacked from both sides.
However, Zhao Yang did not expect that by treating Prince Yiqu so well, he would make the young man indulge in the gentleness of the Central Plains and refuse to leave. The reason was because of this girl.
Yiqu Hai had planned to bring Mi back to the grassland with him, but his uncle did not allow him to do so. He knew that apart from fighting in the grassland, he also needed a marriage alliance to rebuild Yiqu. If he brought back a woman from the Central Plains, it would only cause the people of the prairie to be alienated and think that the new king of the Yiqu Tribe had already reached an agreement with the Central Plains.
The fierceness Mi had shown earlier was not an act. She was so bold that she went up to Yiqu Hai and asked him why he did not want to take him away. Yi Quhai said that his uncle didn't allow him to bring her along, so Mi 'er asked Yi Quhai to kill his uncle. Yiqu said aggrievedly that his uncle had a large army under him, so Mi 'er instigated the two to elope together, grabbed two horses, and ran away. However, they did not expect that the two groups of horses would not listen to the command of the people on their backs and run back after Lord Yiqu, who was the old Yiqu man, whistled. Lord Yi Qu could finally see how cowardly this prince was. He didn't look like he was going to do anything big. He immediately asked his subordinates to pull the two of them down from their horses to stop them from causing any more trouble.
Li Xiang patted Zhang Yi, who he had just pulled back, and asked Zhang Yi to go up with him to see this farce.
"Why did you steal my Man Yazi!”The Mi girl was restrained, but her aura did not weaken. Instead, she glared at Lord Yi Qu and questioned him.
"He is the prince of our Yi Qu Kingdom, not some Manyazi!”Lord Yi Qu snorted coldly.
The Mi girl struggled a few times but found that she could not break free. In the distance, Zhang Yi and Li Xiang looked like they were watching a show. They rolled their eyes and shouted,
"Man Yazi, don't go back with him! If you go back with him, you'll become his decoration!”
"He wants you to take back his kingdom and avenge him!”
"Nonsense!" Lord Yiqu's scalp went numb from Mi 'er's blatant attempt to sow discord, and he roared angrily.
"How is it? Did you lose your power in Yiqu? She wanted to use him as a cover? You're not a good person who wants to restore the country! He was clearly like a businessman, betraying his country!”
Mi ignored Yi Qu, who was winking at her, and continued to scold Lord Yi Qu. She was not afraid of being surrounded by a group of people at all.
"Me!" Prince Yi Qu flew into a rage out of humiliation and prepared to draw his sword…
"What do you mean you! If you dare to make a move, I'll make sure that you won't be able to leave the Dreamy Cloud Swamp! Where do you think this is? The Chu Palace? I think it's better for wangye to behave with his tail between his legs!”
Lord Yi Qu silently withdrew his sword. He was already dumbfounded by the rebuke. He looked at his nephew and said,"Where did this woman come from?"
Zhang Yi, who was watching the show from the side, could not hold it in any longer. He did not expect this girl to be so straightforward. If this continued, one of his saviors would be killed in front of him.
"Calm down, calm down. She is the descendant of the Duke of Chu.”Zhang Yi walked up and said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Yi's introduction, Mi raised her chin proudly and looked at Lord Yi Qu.
"Why did the Chu Country become so desolate after becoming a Duke?”
Upon hearing that Mi was a Duke of Chu, Lord Yiqu's tone softened instantly.
"Just like His Highness, he lost his power." Zhang Yi smiled.
Lord Yi Qu was speechless again. He didn't know how to reply. He only felt that the Central Plainsmen were too sinister.
"You! And the person behind you, who is he?”
It was only then that Yiqu realized that Mi had been with two men. Zhang Yi looked like a weak scholar with wounds all over his body. He was dirty and messy, so he was not a threat.
" Your Highness, please don't be agitated, and don't think too much about it…" Zhang Yi cupped his hands and bowed.
Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Yiqu heaved a sigh of relief. Bai Shun had given him too much pressure, and he could see the difference between them with his naked eyes.
"…After we return to the Yi Canal, Uncle Wang will naturally find you a bunch of beauties. As for her, why don't you let me bring her to another country to be a princess consort?”Zhang Yi said in a negotiating tone.
" What did you say?!"
Yi Quhai, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, turned pale. He roared at Zhang Yi and wanted to rush forward, but he was stopped by the people behind him.
"Zhang Yi, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't cause trouble!”Mi was also stunned. She immediately realized that Zhang Yi was taking revenge.
"Since that's the case, Hai 'er, follow me.”Lord Yiqu sized up Zhang Yi and felt that this person was quite interesting. He turned around and said to Yiqu.
"Uncle Wang, I can go with you, but before that, I have to kill this person first!”Because of Zhang Yi's teasing, Yiqu was dumbfounded and thought that Li Xiang was related to Mi girl. He immediately shouted.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Quickly follow me!" Lord Yi Qu glanced at Li Xiang and said again, unmoved.
As soon as Lord Yi Qu arrived here, he discovered Li Xiang's extraordinariness. He was able to survive in the Chu Country, which was full of schemes, like a fish in water until now, relying on his eyesight.
"Oh, I heard that you want to kill me?"
Li Xiang smiled when he heard this. He stood up and walked to Yi Quhai with his sword.
"Teacher, Hai 'er is young and speaks wildly. Don't take it to heart.”Yiqu King's gaze silenced Yiqu's mouth, and he said to Bai Shun.
"Don't worry, I'm not worried." Li Xiang glanced at Lord Yi Qu and continued to look at Yi Qu." Don't you want to know who I am? Let me give you a hint, which country do you hate the most?”
"You are from the State of Qin!" Lord Yi Qu's expression changed drastically. His humble expression immediately became hostile.
One had to know that the Yiqu was in chaos because they heard that the new ruler of Qin, Ying Si, was dying. As a result, they launched a large-scale attack, but they were beaten up and the Yiqu King died. The Yi Qu Country against the Qin Country was a national grudge!
"Since you're from the State of Qin, then it's easy to handle. Hai 'er, your help, uncle will help you.”
The Yiqu King gave a glance to the surrounding Yiqu soldiers. Immediately, all of them drew their scimitars and surrounded Bai Shun.
" Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys doing? My Brother Li is a famous person. If you guys start a fight, you'll…" Zhang Yi was dumbfounded and hurriedly went forward to persuade him.
"Men, shut this person's mouth first.”Lord Yi Qu had witnessed the power of Zhang Yi's mouth and ordered.
"Hey, how dare you touch him! " Be careful…" Mi panicked when she saw that Lord Yiqu and the others wanted to deal with Li Xiang.
"Block this crazy woman as well!" Lord Yi Qu almost forgot about this and ordered again.
"Today, when we leave the Central Plains and return to the grasslands, we will first sacrifice the blood of this Qin man to the flag! In the coming year, he would rebuild the righteous canal and destroy Qin for revenge!”
Under the Lord of Yiqu's roar, the soldiers of Yiqu slowly walked toward Li Xiang with their scimitars in their hands. The blades of their scimitars flickered with a silver-white light in the sunlight and snow, dazzling and full of killing intent.
Whoosh!
A golden light flashed through the air, and the silver light of the scimitar was instantly suppressed. It was as if the moonlight had seen the sun.
The Yi Qu Lord's eyes were blinded by the blinding light. When he opened his eyes again, all the Yi Qu soldiers he had brought with him had been beheaded, leaving only him and Yi Qu Hai alive.
The person he had just ordered to be killed was still standing there. He did not even move, but there was a golden sword in his hand that was dripping blood.
"Listen up, I'm not killing you because of your identities, but because I want you to unite the Righteous Canal. Great Qin doesn't have the time to deal with small Tribes.”
Li Xiang shook the golden sword in his hand and the blood on it disappeared. He pointed at Yi Quhai and said.
"Alright, alright, alright. We'll leave now." Lord Yi Qu knew that a wise man wouldn't fight when the odds were against him. He hurriedly nodded and pulled the frightened Yi Qu to leave.
"Right, remember that."
Li Xiang spoke again. The two of them stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Li Xiang carefully, afraid that he would go back on his word again.
"You can graze on the grasslands at the border of Great Qin, but you can't be presumptuous!”
