Chapter 1077: In a few years, Seeing Ying Zheng will surely die!

"Why did you come back?"

"Didn't you go home?"

Xiang Liang's voice was very cold. Back then, after Yi Yi Xiaochuan saved their uncle and nephew at the execution ground, he saw that Yi Yi Xiaochuan had extraordinary talent and took him as a disciple, intending to cultivate a capable helper for his nephew, Xiang Yu.

However, to Xiang Liang's disappointment, Yi Yi Xiaochuan's mind was entirely on going home.

This was something Xiang Liang found hard to accept. He didn't want Yi Yi Xiaochuan to leave; firstly, Yi Yi Xiaochuan had followed him for so long and was his disciple—in his heart, he already regarded Yi Yi Xiaochuan as his own nephew. Secondly, if Yi Yi Xiaochuan left and was not used by them, given his aptitude, he could very well become a formidable enemy.

The thing Xiang Liang worried about most was Yi Yi Xiaochuan defecting to the Qin Guo.

Holding the belief of "use him or kill him," before Yi Yi Xiaochuan left, he set three tests for him. If Yi Yi Xiaochuan passed the first two, the third test would be a duel between him and Xiang Yu.

He gave Xiang Yu a death order.

If he really couldn't keep Yi Yi Xiaochuan, he was to kill him.

As a result, he never expected that Xiang Yu would show mercy.

This made Xiang Liang both angry and relieved.

He was angry that he couldn't keep Yi Yi Xiaochuan, but relieved that Yi Yi Xiaochuan hadn't died.

But in the end, he couldn't keep Yi Yi Xiaochuan.

Since there was no way to keep him, he could only wish him well and hope he would find his home as soon as possible.

As a result, Xiang Liang never expected that one day, Yi Yi Xiaochuan would actually return.

Although he was muttering "it's good that he's back" in his heart, on the surface, he still didn't reveal his true emotions.

"I can't go back anymore!"

Yi Yi Xiaochuan said this with a complex tone.

When he had gone through all the hardships to reach Tangwu Mountain, only to receive that answer, his heart couldn't have been more miserable.

Xiang Liang heard the misery in Yi Yi Xiaochuan's words. He wanted to scold him a few more times, but after thinking about it, he gave up: "Since you can't go back, then stay here honestly!"

"From now on, practice martial arts diligently with Yu'er. Relying on those crooked paths won't win against enemies on the battlefield."

After saying this, he ignored Yi Yi Xiaochuan and turned, heading directly toward a room in the back.

Since Yi Yi Xiaochuan was back, it was time to tidy up a room for him.

Yi Yi Xiaochuan also understood the meaning behind Xiang Liang's words. Thinking of his purpose for returning, he felt even more miserable. He wanted to speak but stopped.

In the end, Yi Yi Xiaochuan stayed here for a few days.

Although he had been away for a long time, upon returning, Yi Yi Xiaochuan didn't feel any sense of strangeness; on the contrary, he felt a faint warmth.

Here, he had a feeling of being home.

However, he knew that this was ultimately not his final destination.

On this day, after sparring with Xiang Yu, he was praised by Xiang Liang, who was standing to the side: "It seems you haven't slacked off while away!"

Ever since he sent Yushu to Xianyang and parted ways, Yi Yi Xiaochuan had been obsessed with practicing martial arts for a long time, and his skills had improved much more than before.

Of course, he still couldn't beat Xiang Yu.

In this era, there were few who could beat Xiang Yu.

Not everyone could be called the Overlord!

"Teacher, Brother Yu..." Yi Yi Xiaochuan didn't pay attention to the praise. After staying here for a while, his heart had completely calmed down. Now it was time to tell them the purpose of his coming here.

"I have something I want to tell you!"

"Is this the purpose of your return?" Xiang Liang seemed to have anticipated this. Strictly speaking, it wasn't that Xiang Liang anticipated it, but that Fan Zeng, who was by his side, had seen through it.

Yi Yi Xiaochuan was stunned upon hearing his teacher's words, then nodded.

Soon, the few of them found a quiet room.

After arriving, Xiang Yu hurriedly asked Yi Yi Xiaochuan: "Yi Xiaochuan, tell us, what is it?"

Yi Yi Xiaochuan was silent for a while, then said: "Teacher, Brother Yu, leave this place! Leave the Central Plains, go to foreign lands first, and come back in a few years!"

"!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang were very surprised.

"Yi Xiaochuan, why do you say that? Have you encountered something?" Xiang Yu's first thought was that Yi Yi Xiaochuan had encountered trouble outside and didn't want to implicate them, so he wanted them to escape first.

Yi Yi Xiaochuan spoke bluntly: "I did encounter some things..."

0 ········Seeking flowers···· ····

He recounted his experiences after leaving.

When mentioning the two choices Su Xuan gave him, he showed a complex and sorrowful expression: "Teacher and Brother Yu are my family; naturally, I cannot harm you. But Yushu is the woman I love most, and Tu'an is the country she cares about most. Back then, for the sake of Tu'an, she chose to marry into the Qin Guo. If Tu'an were destroyed because of me, my conscience would be uneasy."

"I don't want to choose either of these two options. Since I can't make up my mind, I can only seek a way to have the best of both worlds."

"So, you chose to persuade us to leave?" Xiang Liang frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Yi Yi Xiaochuan's words.

In his view, a great man shouldn't worry about lacking a wife. To be in such a predicament for a woman—and a foreign woman at that—Yi Yi Xiaochuan was truly embarrassing.

Was such a thing even worth choosing?

Since Yi Yi Xiaochuan had already arrived here, even if the people of Qin really wanted to act against him, they would be beyond their reach.

He could completely abandon that woman and join them directly.

When they achieved their great cause one day, he could have as many women as he wanted.

Xiang Liang immediately scolded Yi Yi Xiaochuan, trying to make him understand a fact.

The lives of foreign women and foreign people who had nothing to do with them were simply not worth caring about. What was so difficult to choose?

However, unexpectedly, after Xiang Liang said this, it provoked a fierce reaction from Yi Yi Xiaochuan.

He directly retorted to Xiang Liang.

Yushu's importance to Yi Yi Xiaochuan was beyond Xiang Liang's expectations. At the same time, Yi Yi Xiaochuan's attitude made Xiang Liang extremely angry. The last time he was this angry was when Yi Yi Xiaochuan wanted to leave.

Just as a more intense conflict was about to break out between his uncle and Yi Xiaochuan, Xiang Yu stood up.

The Overlord of Western Chu was not a complete brute; he grasped the information in a sentence Yi Yi Xiaochuan had said earlier: "Yi Xiaochuan, why do you want us to leave the Central Plains for a few years?"

"Because in a few years, Seeing Ying Zheng will die!"

"As long as I can hold out for these few years, once Seeing Ying Zheng dies, I won't have to make any choices."

Yi Yi Xiaochuan said this as if it were a matter of course. ===== CHAPTER 1079 =====
