Chapter 1048

Su Xuan was waiting for these words from Yi Xiaochuan.

Only after making the other party feel the despair of being unable to live and unable to die

could he offer the other party hope.

In order to be with his beloved, Su Xuan believed that no matter how harsh the conditions were, Yi Xiaochuan would grasp this glimmer of hope.

"Originally, I wouldn't mind whether you live or die. After all, as the State Preceptor of Qin, discovering such a scandal in the palace, it is necessary to inform His Majesty. But I couldn't help it because I took in an incompetent disciple. After that little girl Lu Su learned about the matter between you and her, she would rather suffer grievances herself than have me hide this matter, just because she was afraid you would be blamed by the Emperor."

Ignoring the annoyed Yi Xiaochuan, Su Xuan said indifferently.

Yi Xiaochuan's expression paused again.

No wonder Su Xuan chose to ramble on so much after coming here.

It turned out to be because of Su Su.

Also, if the other party really wanted to blame him, he could have directly reported this to the Emperor of Qin, and the Emperor would have sent people to arrest him. At that time, with conclusive evidence, he would not have to listen to the explanations of him and Yushu at all.

"Su Su..."

Thinking of Lu Su, the guilt on Yi Xiaochuan's face became even more intense.

"Thinking of her now, what were you doing earlier?" Su Xuan's disdainful words rang in Yi Xiaochuan's ears. "For the sake of my incompetent disciple, I can give you a choice, let you both live, and perhaps one day you might even have a chance to be together."

Yi Xiaochuan's body shook upon hearing this, mainly because of the latter sentence.

He had a chance to be with Yushu?

"What choice?"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Su Xuan and could not help but ask.

"Do some things for me!"

Su Xuan stated his purpose.

"What do you want me to do?"

"A very simple matter, just kill a few people!"

"Kill people?" Yi Xiaochuan frowned. As someone who traveled from modern times, he was actually very resistant to killing. But fortunately, he had stayed in this world for a while, experienced the teachings of Xiang Liang, and seen the suffering of corvée labor at the Great Wall. Later, after becoming a prisoner of Tu'an, he even fought with tigers for the sake of his companions.

Now, he was no longer as naive as before; he truly realized that this was a cruel era where the strong preyed on the weak.

"You are the State Preceptor of Qin and are trusted by the Emperor of Qin. If you want to kill someone, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, right?" Yi Xiaochuan asked Su Xuan.

"Indeed, it is not difficult for me to kill whoever I want, but there is one problem: the target is hiding too well, and I cannot find him for the time being!"

"But you are different. I have a premonition that you can find the other party!"

Yi Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding why Su Xuan was so certain.

But he still asked Su Xuan who the target was. "Who do you want me to kill for you?"

Su Xuan did not answer directly, but first mentioned a past event. "In the past, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu. It took several years to defeat the Chu army, and finally, he beheaded the Chu State's Pillar of State, Xiang Yan, in Qi. The State of Chu was thus destroyed."

"However, although Xiang Yan died, his descendants are still alive. Over the years, they have been hiding among the people, intending to rebel."

"The people I want you to kill are Xiang Yan's sons, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, as well as his grandson... Xiang Yu!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan's expression changed drastically.

Others might not know who Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were, but he could not be more familiar with them.

That day, when he and Gao Yao traveled to this world, he fell onto the execution ground and accidentally saved Xiang Liang.

Afterward, he got to know Xiang Yu.

Later, he spent a long time with these people. Xiang Liang even taught him martial arts and classics. It could be said that Xiang Liang was his teacher, and Xiang Yu was his sworn brother; the two had an excellent relationship.

Yi Xiaochuan did not know how Su Xuan knew about Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, but asking him to kill these two was something he could not accept.

Yi Xiaochuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, as the words reached his lips, Su Xuan's words rang in his ears, blocking the words back.

"You must think clearly!"

"If you don't kill these people, both you and Yushu will die. If Yushu dies, Tu'an will no longer be protected by Qin and will be immediately destroyed by the Rongdi and Xiongnu. No, to prevent the Rongdi and Xiongnu from taking advantage, Qin doesn't mind destroying Tu'an first."

"Of course, you can choose not to kill these people. After all, Tu'an is a small foreign country, and its people have no blood relation to you; if they die, they die, it is irrelevant. You can even be a pair of ghost husband and wife with Yushu."

Yi Xiaochuan's expression changed constantly.

He did not know how Su Xuan knew about his relationship with Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, but there was no doubt that Su Xuan did not mention these people for no reason, but deliberately. The person in front of him knew that he knew the whereabouts of Xiang Yu and the others.

"You are truly despicable!"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Su Xuan, gritting his teeth.

"Despicable?"

Su Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't think I am despicable. The Xiang clan are rebels, planning to rebel against Qin. I have a premonition that if they are left alive, they will bring great trouble to Qin in the future, so they must be eliminated."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan's heart was shocked.
