Lu Li looked pained as he placed the Heavenly Question Sword against Chu Jiu's neck.
A chilling cold instantly seeped into Chu Jiu's entire body. He dared not move, awaiting his death.
"Brother Lu.......!!!"
Lu Fusheng's voice startled Chu Liu and the others. When they came in, they found Chu Jiu kneeling on the ground with Lu Li's sword at his neck, and they were all in a panic.
They all knelt on the ground and asked, "Master! What mistake did Chu Jiu... Chu Jiu make?"
Right, what mistake did Chu Jiu make this time?
He was someone I raised myself; he was just a name. Did I really have to kill him?
"Chu Jiu, I want you to swear that you will never do anything to harm the Great Qin again, otherwise no matter where you are or how high an official you become, I will personally kill you!"
Chu Jiu quickly raised his head and hand, repeating the oath once more.
"Owner......"
Lu Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave a wink. Chu Liu and the others then led Chu Jiu away.
"Brother Lu, why?"
She didn't understand why he wanted to kill Chu Jiu just because it was a name.
Lu Li was in a difficult situation. He couldn't tell anyone about the secret of his transmigration, not even Xiao Lu'er or Lu Fusheng.
"I once had a dream in which several names appeared, all of whom were destined to overthrow the Qin Dynasty!"
This was the only explanation Lu Li could offer. He couldn't very well tell her that Zhao Gao had historically brought disaster to the Qin state, could he?
Lu Fusheng took a deep breath, then said somewhat displeasedly, "Brother Lu, it's just a dream! Can't it even outweigh the affection we've shared over the years?"
Yes, Chu Jiu was someone he had raised from childhood. He knew Chu Jiu's temperament and personality all too well, and there was absolutely no way he would do anything to harm the Great Qin.
Moreover, as long as he is alive, Chu Jiu would never dare to do such a thing.
"That's enough, I want to be alone for a while."
Lu Li sighed and sat down in the chair again.
Now that the Qin Dynasty has unified the world, and he has long since killed all those named Liu Ji, the course of history should have changed.
Without Liu Ji, Zhang Liang probably wouldn't have come out of seclusion.
Zhang Liang's existence made Lu Li hesitate for a long time, but after killing Liu Ji, Lu Li felt that Zhang Liang's threat disappeared.
As for Xiang Yu, he must find an opportunity to assassinate this person.
Xiang Yu, whose strength could uproot mountains and whose spirit could cover the world, has been highly praised by countless scholars and literati throughout history. But those who truly understand history know that Xiang Yu was the real tyrant.
How many people died when Xianyang was burned down?
Having finally unified the country, Xiang Yu only wanted to restore the six former kingdoms.
This kind of person lacks foresight; no wonder he ultimately lost to Liu Ji.
But there was one more person that Lu Li was most worried about!
He had already sent the Black Ice Guard to find this person before Ying Zheng even set out to the east. He was also a very important figure in the Qin Dynasty.
That was Xu Fu!
This person deceived Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, into believing that he could find the elixir of immortality, which cost the Qin Dynasty a great deal of money and manpower.
In his later years, Qin Shi Huang spent almost as much money and manpower searching for the elixir of immortality as he did building the Great Wall.
If it weren't for this, even if Xiang Yu and Liu Ji rebelled, they would not have been a match for the Qin state.
Surprisingly, even the Black Ice Platform couldn't find Xu Fu!
The most outrageous thing is that none of the sorcerers and magicians among the seven kingdoms were named Xu Fu.
This made Lu Li very uneasy, as if an invisible hand was covering everything up.
He was even more afraid that Xu Fu might also be someone close to him.
But considering the age, even the first year of junior high school is too young; it's simply impossible.
Therefore, Lu Li had no choice but to put the matter on hold for the time being.
After Lu Fusheng came out of Lu Li's residence, he saw that Chu Jiu's forehead was still bleeding, so he quickly asked someone to bring some medicine powder to apply to it.
Chu Jiu was stunned at this moment, truly feeling like he had survived a calamity.
"Chu Jiu, don't hate Brother Lu, he..."
Chu Jiu gave a bitter smile and interrupted, "How could I dare to hate my master? It was my master who saved my life back then."
"I just don't understand why I'm Zhao Gao!"
He never blamed Lu Li. He had also secretly kept an eye on Zhao Gao, and planned to kill him once he discovered him.
But to his utter surprise, he turned out to be Zhao Gao.
"Brother Lu said that he once had a dream in which he saw several names: Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Ji, Xiang Yu, and Zhao Gao, who would overthrow the Qin Dynasty."
Chu Liu's eyes flickered, and then he said, "So Brother Wei killed so many people named Liu Ji because of this?"
Lu Fusheng nodded, but the others thought it was too fantastical, just for a dream?
Although Lu Fusheng was displeased with Lu Li's attempt to kill Chu Jiu, he knew some of Lu Li's secrets, including his immortality!
His dream might actually come true. When she looked at Chu Jiu, her expression became somewhat complicated.
"On the ninth day...you must remember what Brother Lu said."
Chu Jiu was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded heavily.
"Although the master has entrusted the Black Ice Platform to me, I can retrieve it at any time if the master needs it!"
Chu Jiu was well aware that although he was now the commander of the Black Ice Guard, Chu Yi and the others only listened to Lu Li. If he dared to make the slightest move, Chu Yi and the others would hack him to death.
