Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 108 Lü Shi and Jiang Yu, Liu Yi was so frightened that he offered his wife.

A private room!
"Lord Liu, Nongyu is busy right now, so let me keep you company first."

A young woman from Zilanxuan, who was considered somewhat attractive, held up a glass of wine and smiled obsequiously at a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, a large beard, and a fierce-looking face, resembling a Tibetan mastiff.

Liu Yi, the Left Sima of South Korea!
"Go away!"

Liu Yi shoved the girl away and said viciously:

"Who do you think you are? If you don't bring Nongyu to me, believe me, I'll make sure your Zilan Pavilion goes out of business."

As Ji Wuye's trusted confidant, whom he had personally promoted, Liu Yi was naturally qualified to say this.

But Liu Yi still has to keep going!
"Oh!"

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Jiang Yu walked in.

"Who dares to disturb this young master's listening to the zither?"

After surveying the private room, Jiang Yu's gaze fell on Liu Yi, and she immediately became stern:
"Oh, so it's you, you bastard!"

"You, who are you?"

Liu Yi was a general who had seen blood on the battlefield, but under Jiang Yu's cold and fierce gaze, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel fear. He retreated in panic, his previous fierce and imposing manner completely gone.

The woman in purple, who followed behind, shook her head helplessly. "We'll have to repair the door tomorrow."

Then she gestured for all the girls from Zilanxuan in the private room to leave, and she didn't go in either, but just leaned against the door to see what Jiang Yu would do.

Once only Jiang Yu and Liu Yi remained in the private room, Liu Yi's fear intensified upon seeing Jiang Yu's murderous aura as she brandished her sword. His drunkenness instantly vanished, replaced by a cold sweat, and he shouted, his voice trembling with fear:
"What do you want? Do you know who I am?"

"Liu Yi, the Left Sima of South Korea, is a minor official from a tiny country."

Jiang Yu retorted dismissively:
"Do you even know who I am?"

"who are you?"

Looking at the unfamiliar Jiang Yu, Liu Yi racked his brains but still couldn't remember who Jiang Yu was.

But seeing that even knowing his identity, he still acted arrogantly and domineeringly, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could it be that Jiang Yu's background was really not that big?
"Everyone says you are Ji Wuye's confidant, but after seeing you today, it's not entirely true. Even I didn't know that. But never mind, it's not important."

As Jiang Yu spoke, she slowly drew her sword, deliberately making a swishing sound that seemed to cut into Liu Yi's heart, causing large beads of cold sweat to pour down Liu Yi's forehead.

"You are Ji Wuye's son. How dare you disturb my enjoyment? If I kill you, Ji Wuye will have to come to my door to apologize if he doesn't want to fight General Meng Wu."

Jiang Yu finally drew all the swords from their sheaths, pointed them at Liu Yi, and added one last sentence:
"Remember this on your journey to the underworld: I am from the Lü family!"

"thump!"

With a heavy thud as his knees slammed into the ground, Liu Yi knelt directly before Jiang Yu, repeatedly begging for mercy:
"Young Master Lü, please spare my life! I was blind and startled you. Please forgive me for my ignorance."

As Liu Yi spoke, he slapped himself repeatedly in the face.

General Meng Wu!

The Lü family!

Furthermore, considering Jiang Yu's earlier statement about "a minor official in a tiny country," and the fact that he didn't know Jiang Yu, yet Jiang Yu could still show disdain for the Korean general Ji Wuye.

With all the information verified, Jiang Yu's identity becomes obvious.

He must have come from the Qin state, and his relationship with Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, was extraordinary.

Because it originated from the Qin state, it was qualified to call the Han state, one of the Seven Warring States, a small country.

General Meng must refer to Meng Wu, who conquered twenty cities of Wei two years ago. And besides Lü Buwei, there was no other person in Qin who could command such an important general as Meng Wu.

"Hmph, at least you have some discernment!"

Jiang Yu sheathed his sword again and said:

"If you want me to spare you, it's not impossible. I heard you married the daughter of the former Lord of Fire and Rain?"

? ?
Liu Yi was completely confused, not understanding why Jiang Yu had brought up his wife.

But then I thought about it again, this is a brothel, what could a man like Jiang Yu do here? So, the purpose of his sudden mention of his wife is self-evident.

His wife, Madam Hu, was indeed a beauty of the world; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone so far as to frame his colleagues and wipe out the entire Huoyu Manor in order to win her over.

Upon understanding Jiang Yu's meaning, Liu Yi immediately felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation.

But the humiliation seemed insignificant compared to his own life, especially that wretched woman who had been thinking about that dead man for decades.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger welled up within him, and he made up his mind completely. Before Jiang Yu could speak again, he spoke first:
"I have married the daughter of Lord Huoyu, but since Young Master Lü wants her, I will go back and bring her to you."

"You're quite generous, aren't you? I just wanted to ask if you have any more Fire Rain Agate."

Jiang Yu's lips twitched uncontrollably; he had underestimated Liu Yi's associative abilities.

"But since you've already given it to me, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Lord Liu if I refused?"

Jiang Yu originally just needed a suitable reason to obtain the Fire Rain Agate from Madam Hu, and then help Nongyu reunite with Madam Hu and her daughter.

However, if she could take Madam Hu away, Jiang Yu would not refuse, as this would make it easier to get Nongyu to go with her.

"Uh!"

Liu Yi was dumbfounded and wanted to curse. You didn't mean that, why are you asking about my wife? If you want the Fire Rain Agate, just say so.

"Lord Liu seems somewhat reluctant, so why don't we just forget about it?"

Jiang Yu kindly replied, "Of course, that would be if there hadn't been that sword-drawing action."

"No, no, she may have gained Young Master Lü's favor, but how could I possibly be unwilling to accept her good fortune with me?"

Now that things have come to this, trying to back out would only anger Jiang Yu, so Liu Yi could only swallow his bitterness and accept it.

"Then Lord Liu, you should hurry on your way. I'll wait for you here."

Jiang Yu glanced at the sky outside the window. Hmm, it's still early, there's still time.

He then used his internal energy to transmit his voice to Liu Yi, saying:
"By the way, if Lord Liu does not believe my identity, he can first ask Ji Wuye whether the sword from Qin a few days ago was sharp or not. Also, please thank him for the 100,000 military funds he sent."

Oh, and about Lord Liu's embezzlement of Lord Huoyu's treasure. Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Liu said, if Ji Wuye finds out about this, will he be furious and kill you?

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi immediately recalled the turmoil at the General's Mansion a few days ago, as well as the secret 100,000 taels of military pay, and his pupils constricted sharply.

As Ji Wuye's most trusted confidant, he naturally knew a great deal about the inside story, which now perfectly corroborated what Jiang Yu had said.

The secret of embezzling Huoyu Gong's treasure completely exploited Liu Yi's Achilles' heel.

This made Liu Yi completely certain of Jiang Yu's identity, and he dared not have any more doubts.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Thank you, Young Master Lü, for sparing my life. Please wait a moment, Young Master Lü, I will go back and bring my wife back right away."

Liu Yi kowtowed several times before scrambling away.
