Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 103 Flame Spirit Princess: Master, are you ready?
The General's Mansion!

"General."

The soldier rushed in and reported to Ji Wuye:

"The thieves who attacked us were rescued by a highly skilled martial artist who arrived later. Even the Marquis was seriously injured by that person!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing that Bai Yifei was seriously injured, Ji Wuye tightened his grip on the wine cup.

"Even Bai Yifei got injured?"

Although Ji Wuye disliked Bai Yifei's frequent acts of deception in front of him, he still highly respected Bai Yifei's strength.

Ji Wuye's expression gradually darkened.

Even Bai Yifei couldn't stop him, it seems Han Fei has quite a few capable people around him. This made Ji Wuye feel a strong threat, and he had to get rid of Han Fei as soon as possible.

……

Wangzhuang!

As Jiang Yu stepped inside, the candles in the room instantly lit up, and a graceful figure walked in, saying sweetly:
"Master, you are back!"

The one who can be called that is naturally the newly subdued Yan Ling Ji.

At this moment, Yan Lingji's voice was weak and feeble, and her beautiful face was pale. She looked even more tired than Jiang Yu, who had just fought a great battle with Bai Yifei.

Jiang Yu knew the reason to some extent, because early that morning he had given Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui a task.

"Have I completed the task I assigned?"

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't even offer a word of concern, Yan Lingji rolled her eyes and responded weakly:
"Of course."

Then Wushuang Gui walked over, and a burlap sack in his hand fell to the ground with a heavy thud, revealing its contents.

Iron!

These are the results of a day's work by Yan Lingji, Wushuang Gui, and some blacksmiths from the Baiyue enslaved tribe.

Looking at the iron blocks that had almost drained her dry, Yan Lingji's gaze towards Jiang Yu became increasingly resentful.

First they made her do alchemy, and now they're making her forge iron.

Yan Lingji finally understood that Jiang Yu wasn't attracted to her looks or her strength, but rather purely to the function of her furnace.

Ignoring Yan Lingji's resentment, Jiang Yu squatted down to examine the iron blocks, tested them with his internal energy, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Yeah, good job."

With this refined steel, combined with a small amount of special metals that Honglian obtained from the Korean treasury, it was enough to forge a chain sword for Honglian.

Fortunately, Zi Nu's chain sword was not a famous sword of extremely high quality with special attributes like the Fu Shui sword. The chain sword was only exquisite, but its actual quality was not high, and it did not have any special attributes, so it was not difficult to copy it.

Jiang Yu, having put down the iron block, clapped his hands and stood up, seemingly only then noticing Yan Lingji's resentful gaze, and said:

"Alright, alright, I'll give you a reward."

The main reason is that the two are too weak. Without helping them become stronger, besides being a gofer, there's nothing else Jiang Yu can do to help.

"Really?"

Yan Lingji's pretty face immediately brightened; this was a good master indeed.

Women!
Jiang Yu shook her head and spoke first to Wushuang Gui:
"Squat down!"

Wushuang Gui squatted down in response, while Jiang Yu reached out with one hand, just as she had done when teaching the Red Lotus Technique:
"Remember the route of my internal energy circulation."

The reason why Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui are so weak is not only because they were imprisoned by the Nightfall, which caused them to waste a lot of time, but the main reason is that they do not have suitable high-grade cultivation techniques. Especially Wushuang Gui, whose strength is mostly supported by his brute force, wasting his great talent.

After Jiang Yu subdued the Peerless Ghost, she had high hopes for him, expecting him to be the next Dian Qing.

Therefore, what Jiang Yu is now passing on to Wushuang Gui is the technique from the Six Secret Teachings, used to complement the "Training Warrior" chapter. In terms of rank, it is absolutely no less than Dian Qing's Armored Sect technique.

According to the records about this technique that Jiang Yu saw, it was this technique that his ancestor, Duke Huan of Qi, used to train 50,000 strong and brave soldiers, which became an important cornerstone of Duke Huan's hegemony.

Even the old village chief told Jiang Yu that the Armored Gate Technique and the Wei Wu Zu training method both originated from this technique, which Wu Qi learned and taught to the people of Wei.

As for whether the old village chief was just bragging after drinking too much, Jiang Yu had no idea.

Soon, Jiang Yu finished transferring his skills to Wushuang Gui.

"Master, it's my turn, it's my turn."

Yan Lingji couldn't wait to come closer.

"You can talk about it when you get back to the manor."

Jiang Yu doesn't have a cultivation technique suitable for Yan Ling Ji, but I'm sure the lady will.

"what?"

When Yan Lingji heard that she had to return to the manor, a hint of fear welled up in her beautiful eyes, because Dongjun was there.

Dongjun had always wanted to plant a vicious Yin-Yang curse mark on her because he didn't trust her and feared she would betray Jiang Yu.

"Master, can't we transfer our skills here?"

In order not to go back, Yan Lingji tried her best to act coquettishly and wink at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu felt another surge of heat in her nose; she was truly a seductive enchantress. She quickly instructed Wushuang Gui to stay and guard Qiulan, then turned and left.

He said as he walked:
"As long as you treat me sincerely, Madam is not as terrible as you think."

Dongjun's terror stems from his protective instincts towards Jiang Yu; therefore, anyone who won't harm Jiang Yu will naturally be safe.

In fact, Dongjun's attitude towards Yan Lingji has improved considerably in recent days. He has been subtly and overtly hinting that Jiang Yu should bring Yan Lingji back to the manor. For example, the matter of teaching Yan Lingji martial arts was something Dongjun brought up himself because he wanted Yan Lingji to return.

Yan Lingji quickly caught up with Jiang Yu. No matter how terrifying Dong Jun was, she wasn't worried as long as Jiang Yu was there, because Jiang Yu would protect her.

For example, when Dongjun wanted to place the Yin-Yang curse mark on her, it was Jiang Yu who stopped him.

The reason why Yan Lingji was so quick to willingly serve Jiang Yu was largely due to Jiang Yu's boundless trust in her.

"Speaking of truly serving one's master?"

Yan Lingji smiled, then leaned close to Jiang Yu's ear, her red lips parted slightly, and a soft, warm breath reached Jiang Yu's ears:
"How can I truly serve you, Master?"

In response, Jiang Yu turned around and said to Yan Lingji very seriously:
"We're on the same side now, so let me give you a heads-up: if you're not prepared, don't try to flirt with me, or you'll regret it."

Jiang Yu never considered himself a paragon of virtue, and who knows when he might lose control of his lustful desires. With Yan Lingji's strength, she was clearly able to stop him.

Having never seen Jiang Yu so serious before, Yan Lingji also suppressed her playful nature and simply asked out of curiosity:
"Is the master ready?"

"Do you think someone as beautiful as you needs to make preparations?"

Jiang Yu looked at Yan Lingji as if she were an idiot, then turned around and started walking again.

Jiang Yu accepted the sugar-coated bullets from the Luo Wang without fear, let alone Yan Lingji, a sweet candy that was completely harmless.

After a moment of stunned silence, Yan Lingji watched Jiang Yu's retreating figure, then with a soft "pfft!" a bright smile bloomed on her beautiful face, and she quickly followed after him.

"Master, wait for me!"
