If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 769: Xiang Yu no longer wants to be a king, he wants to cultivate immortality
"The Hu people are heading south?" Zhong Limei was stunned for a moment, then he said thoughtfully, "The Hu people are even more brutal than the Qin Dynasty.

If they were allowed to enter the heart of the Central Plains, there would be countless deaths and catastrophe for China."

Xiao Yu said: "Some of the Hu people just treated me as bandits, burned, killed and looted, and then returned to the grasslands contentedly.

There were also some Hu tribes who were ambitious and wanted to rule the Central Plains, such as the Xiongnu.

If the Huns could really defeat the Great Wall Army and move south to the Central Plains.

After killing a large number of Qin people who dared to resist them and making others terrified, the Huns would certainly use soft tactics to appease the people, let them recuperate, reduce labor, and impose even less taxes than during the Qin period.

If a set of benevolent policies is implemented, will the resistance of the heroes of the world gradually die out? "

Zhong Limei's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten chocolate-flavored poop, "Brother, what you said is terrible."

Xiao Yu said: "If Daqin can't hold on, the nightmare I mentioned may become a reality.

Although the Huns were barbarians, they had the support of immortals.

The immortal is well-informed and has lived for tens of millions of years. He has witnessed many overlords in history become the masters of the world and knows how to conquer a country. "

Zhongli Mei shook his head repeatedly and said, "Brother, you are worrying too much. Even if the Xiongnu cross the Great Wall, they can't plunder the Central Plains.

Before they kill the people of the Central Plains and make them lose their courage, we will first kill them, so that they will be terrified and flee back to the north in panic."

Xiao Yu said, "I am just assuming that if the Qin Dynasty falls, the Xiongnu will definitely go south to the Central Plains; if the Qin Dynasty holds on, it can still stop the Hu people at the Great Wall defense line. Choose one of the two results, what will you choose, brother?"

Zhongli Mei looked at her deeply and said, "If I didn't know your background, I would have suspected that you were the county governor's lobbyist."

Xiao Yu was stunned and asked, "Is it the governor of Hengshan County? Has he used this reason to persuade my brother to surrender?"

Zhongli Mei nodded and said, "I am not bragging, whether in Huaiyin or Hengshan County, my name Zhongli Mei will be of some use among the people and in the martial arts world.

The county magistrate He Zhong intends to recruit me and then use my name to recruit heroes from all over the world to work for him.

His ambitions are not small, and he is definitely not a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty.

I refused.

He refused three more times, and the second time he tried to persuade me, he said the same thing as a brother."

Xiao Yu sighed, "Of course I'm not the county governor's lobbyist. I'm just curious about what the heroes think and what their attitudes are towards the Hu people's southward migration."

Zhong Limei had a resolute expression and a firm tone, saying: "We couldn't even tolerate the tyranny of Qin, so how can we tolerate the stench of the Hu people?

The heroes of Jianghu are just being open-minded and unrestrained, but they are not ignorant of propriety, righteousness, and shame, and do not know the great righteousness of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians"? "

The idea of ​​respecting the king and expelling the barbarians was put forward by the "chief of the princes" King Jiang Xiaobai of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It means to respect the patriarchal system of the Zhou royal family and resist the invasion of foreign races.

Well, this is the magnanimity of the "Little Emperor" of the Central Plains. At that time, he only thought about resisting external invasion.

Another overlord from the Qin State, King Mu of Qin, "attacked the King of Rong, added twelve states, expanded the territory for ten thousand miles, and thus dominated the Western Rong."

The "Hu people overlord" Rongdi at that time was defeated by the ancestor of Emperor Renhuangzheng.

Then came the rise of the Hu tribes such as the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Yuezhi.

In short, the national consciousness of "Huaxia" (Han people) had already been born before the "Han Dynasty" was born.

It's not surprising at all that Zhongli Mei said this.

Of course, he has now become a bandit in the Qin Dynasty. "Respecting the king" certainly does not mean narrowly respecting the Ying Dynasty, but the broad sense of "descendants of the Chinese nation."

Xiao Yu asked: "Brother, you are friends with Xiang Liang and Huan Chu, but do you know Chen Sheng and Wu Guang from Daze Township?

"Have they ever considered the same thing as the governor of Hengshan County when it comes to the Hu people's invasion of the south?"

No matter what ambitions the Hengshan County governor has, as long as he can say these words and has had such thoughts, he should not have any major problems in terms of moral principles and will not become a "traitor."

Zhong Limei sighed and said, "Brother, don't be fooled by He Zhong. He recruited you as his brother so that you would be loyal to him and call him 'Lord'."

Xiao Yu was speechless and said, "I don't even know He Zhong, and today is the first time I heard about He Zhong's thoughts from my brother.

No matter how selfish he was, the fact that he could say this at least showed that he had considered everything in his mind.

I am now asking my brother about the thoughts of the rebel leaders such as Xiang Liang, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang, simply because I am curious and want to understand their tolerance and awareness.

If we only focus on the anti-Qin movement and completely ignore the huge hidden dangers coming from outside China.

Then they can only be confined to the category of "great heroes in the martial arts world", and cannot be considered as hidden dragons."

Zhong Li Mei looked at her suspiciously and asked tentatively: "Brother, you are not an ordinary person to ask such questions! Where did you come from and what are your plans?"

Xiao Yu said: "As for me, I wander around the world. When I enter the city, I put up two banners, one with 'Enemy of the King of Hell' and the other with 'Compared to a Half-Immortal'.

If someone trusts me and hires me, I will do my best to earn a few taels of silver for travel expenses.

I met a famous hero in the martial arts world and looked for an opportunity to see the elegance of a Chinese hero."

After a pause, she continued, "Brother, what do you think of my Kung Fu?"

Zhong Li Mei looked at her, and then felt the thin internal energy in her body, and said tactfully: "Brother has profound skills, and the internal energy is full. At such a young age, you have reached such a realm. It is not a luxury to form a Yuandan in the future."

Translated into plain language: Your ability is not that good, but considering that you are still young, you can say that you have no future at all.

Xiao Yu asked again: "What about my skills to make a living, such as feng shui, fortune-telling, exorcism and curing diseases?"

Zhong Limei gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "Great! I have seen many strange people in the martial arts world, but you still amaze me."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Then why were you so surprised by my question just now?
If I lack sophistication and insight, how can I predict a person's fate?

If you don’t have a basic knowledge of astronomy and geography, how can you observe Feng Shui and determine the dragon veins?”

"That's right, I am a little shallow. I always pay attention to my brother's age and ignore his extraordinary abilities."

Zhongli Mei nodded slowly and praised: "My dear brother once said that I am a dragon in the shallows and a tiger hidden in the mountains.

Brother, you are the true dragon who hides himself and roams the world!

I dare to conclude that if a leader is lucky enough to be assisted by brothers in the future, he will surely rise to the top, stir up the world, and at least become a hegemon in one area. "

Xiao Yu smiled and said, “I don’t have any thoughts on this right now.

However, getting to know and befriend grassroots heroes in advance is not only a joy in life, but it also allows you to quietly predict the fate of your child and estimate the evolution of the world's general situation, which is the best of both worlds."

Zhongli Mei agreed with her words and admired her magnanimity and wisdom. After a moment of recollection, he said, "To be honest, the heroes I have met so far are only thinking about overthrowing the tyrannical Qin.

We cannot say that we were not on guard against the Hu people.

If one talks about the Hu people who invaded the north at the dinner table, one would definitely curse them and express some worry.

It's just that none of us are qualified to weigh the pros and cons of the overall situation. For example, I consider the threat of the Xiongnu's southward migration to the Central Plains, and I can't formulate a strategy in Mengshan to directly harm or indirectly threaten the Xiongnu.

Even if I forgot my ancestors and stopped being a human being, and wanted to help the Huns invade the Central Plains, I still cannot lead my Mengshan brothers to do anything for the Huns.

If we don't attack the county town now, we won't be helping Daqin maintain stability.

I absolutely dare not and cannot.

I didn't plunder villages everywhere because I entered Mengshan. Firstly, the Qin law was cruel and I had no choice but to do so. Secondly, I wanted to protect the villagers in another way.

The purpose of setting up the Mengshan Camp is to shelter the villagers who have fled here. If I rob the villagers everywhere, what will that mean?"

Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. Zhongli Mei's strength and fate were very good. He was definitely worthy of the identity of a "great man in the world", but compared with Xiang Liang and his ilk, he was still a long way behind.

At least he had no idea that the "real big guys" such as Xiang Liang, Zhang Er, Wu Guang, and Wei Bao had once joined forces with King Bashan to excavate the tomb of Song Tianshi and dig out the treasures of Taigong.

Zhongli Mei is not worthy of the North Sea Demon God's attention and investment, so he should be planned in advance.

"I heard that my brother and Xiang Ji had a battle, and both sides won and lost. Is that true?"

Zhongli Mei was stunned for a moment, and said, "At that time, Lord Xiang Liang was watching from the side, and I let Xiang Ji win by two moves, so we can say that we both won and lost."

——Brother, you want to defy the will of Heaven, but you still want Xiang Ji to give you two moves?

Xiaoyu subconsciously felt that Zhongli Mei was bragging.

But when he regained his senses, he realized that Zhongli Mei had been following the etiquette and behavior of a fallen "noble" from the time they first met until now.

Be neither humble nor arrogant, never brag, nor be deliberately modest, just say what you want to say directly.

"I've always heard that Xiang Ji was strong enough to lift a tripod and was extremely brave. Could the rumors be wrong?" she asked.

Zhong Limei shook his head and said, "The rumors are true. Xiang Ji was born with supernatural strength. He lifted a huge tripod weighing 100,000 jin like an ordinary person lifting a table. His bravery is comparable to that of Qin Wuwang Yingdang."

——His bravery is comparable to that of Ying Dang. How can this be considered a compliment?
Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed.

Zhong Limei continued: "But a martial arts contest is not about who has greater strength.

Skills, secrets, and immortal martial arts are all very important."

"Brother, what do you think of Xiang Ji's talent in martial arts?" Xiao Yu asked.

Zhong Limei pondered and said, "The last time I met him was five years ago. He was less than twenty years old, too young, and his swordsmanship was very poor. He only comprehended a kind of sword intent, and his martial arts form had not yet condensed.

But he has great talent.

His swordsmanship is poor, not because he can't learn it, but because he is unwilling to learn it.

The martial arts Dharma image is not impossible to condense.

He looked down on the Human Immortal Yuan Pill. His realm and internal strength were sufficient, but he was unwilling to form the pill.

It is natural that a warrior who has not yet condensed the Human Immortal Yuandan is slightly inferior to me.

If he practices as he pleases, he can defeat me, and I won't have to hang around in the martial arts world anymore."

"It turns out that he hasn't even condensed his Yuandan yet."

Xiaoyu was relieved now, but also more confused.

"Is Xiang Ji planning to cultivate Qi and become an immortal?"

He has not condensed the Yuandan, and his strength is 40% to 60% compared with the top human immortal Zhongli Mei, which is considered normal.

After all, it took her half a day to use the Purple Mansion's inexhaustible treasure and the magical secret technique to kill Zhongli Mei.

That is to say, without using magical powers (including sword bones), and only using the sword to compete in martial arts, when they first met, Xiao Yu was no match for Zhongli Mei, who led 300 bandits to form an army.

Xiang Yu did not have any immortal elixir, nor was he an immortal. He was simply a "true qi realm boss" and there was no way he could be stronger than her.

However, Xiang Yu's strength at this time was far from that of "the greatest general of all time in China" during his peak period.

How to bridge such a huge gap in a short period of time?

Could it be that a deity would, for the sake of "God's will", shamelessly go down to the underworld and secretly give Xiang Yu a gourd of "Tushita Palace Nine-Turn Golden Pills"?
Just like in Journey to the West, feeding Wukong with peaches and magic pills like feeding a pig?

"From what Xiang Ji himself said, he did have the ambition to pursue the path to becoming an immortal. But he had neither the fate nor the blessings to become an immortal, so he was destined to fail in becoming an immortal," said Zhongli Mei.

Xiao Yu had a strange expression on his face. "Xiang Ji doesn't even have an immortal bone. Is his talent so poor?"

Zhong Limei glared and said, "Brother, are you suffering from a brain storm? Isn't it normal to not have a fairy bone? How can you be considered to have poor talent? Among the millions of people in the world, how many people have a fairy bone? Brother, do you have one?"

Xiao Yu said: "Immortal bones are also divided into different levels. In theory, all innate magical powers are considered immortal bones.

Even the most ordinary innate magical powers can retain a hope of becoming an immortal.

Only if you aim to become a celestial immortal, you will need the highest level of true immortal bones."

Zhongli Mei said: "Xiang Ji has a natural supernatural power, which is the natural supernatural power that can lift a tripod."

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Born with supernatural powers, it's too ordinary. At most, he can cultivate into a 'powerful immortal' and go to heaven to become a 'yellow turban strongman' who has become holy in the flesh."

——As the King of Western Chu, he must have at least a natural supernatural power like "King Body", "God of War Body", "Human Race Holy Body"! What is the common stuff like "natural supernatural power"?
"Hey, brother, don't learn from Xiang Ji and don't be so ambitious. It's better to be down-to-earth and condense the Human Immortal Pill as soon as possible. It will be safer when you travel around the world." Zhongli Mei advised.

After saying that, he pulled Xiaoyu out of the living room and went to the large parade ground on the back hill, saying that he wanted to test and instruct "little brother Radish" on her martial arts and help her achieve the status of a human immortal as soon as possible.

Xiaoyu was not stage-shy and performed a set of "Thunder Hands" in public.

The ordinary moves of the Thunder Hand are like the senior brother that Wukong met in the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon in the TV series Journey to the West: he is agile, jumping around, and releasing arcs of electricity from between his fingers, like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue.

He poked the stone with his finger, and with a "boom", the stone as big as a washbasin broke into two pieces.

Zhong Li Mei looked confused, "Brother, your thunder skills are very good, but your moves are too fancy."

"I still have some secret skills that I haven't released yet. Only by using these secret skills can I be worthy of the name 'Thunder Hand'."

Xiaoyu walked steadily, leaned forward slightly, let his right hand hang in front of him, and quickly formed seals with his left hand.

"Sizzle~~~" A large number of lightning arcs appeared out of thin air, like silver-blue silk threads, which she caught in the palm of her right hand. The silk threads seemed like living nematodes, struggling and jumping desperately.

Gradually the sound of the thunder changed, becoming a chirping sound, as if millions of birds were singing together.

"Thunder Hand, Thunder Flash!!"

It was as if the second pillar in "Naruto" had traveled to the Pangu world. Xiaoyu pushed off the ground, leaped out, and the thunder in his palm fiercely hit the rock.

"Boom!" The two-meter-high boulder exploded into pieces.

Xiao Yu stood proudly on the spot, looking around with disdainful eyes, and asked: "How about this move?"
