My name is Yi Qian, and I'm a swordsman. I'm in a panic now.
Yi Qian looked at Lü Shu. "What did you say just now?"
"Hit me." Lü Shu said unhappily. He had just advanced to the first rank, and if he didn't take a beating before counterattacking, it would be like wearing silk clothes in the dark!
Yi Qian thought to himself, 'Could this be a test? After all, I've lived for so long, but I've never seen such a strange request.'
He definitely didn't dare to hit him. He didn't make a move earlier because he knew very well how many experts in this forest were watching him. Now that this young man had suddenly broken through, it was simply terrifying.
Moreover, he was right beside this young man when he was advancing, so he felt it the most. Therefore, Sun Zhongyang and the others only knew that Lü Shu was powerful, but they didn't know how powerful he was.
At that moment, Yi Qian clearly felt that the other party had no intention of breaking through, but he suddenly broke through amidst the calmness. What the other party said was terrifying just thinking about it now.
"Those who go against us will eventually die. This is the law."
Yi Qian didn't even know if this was Lü Shu's bragging or his true Dao. If it was his Dao, it meant that he had used this belief to resonate with heaven and earth.
Lü Zhou had a saying: "When one reaches a higher level and causes heaven and earth to resonate, it is also the process of being recognized by heaven and earth. If your Dao is too grand, but you don't have the temperament or strength, you will definitely fail."
Therefore … if this young man really used this saying as his spiritual will to communicate with heaven and earth, and even got recognized by heaven and earth … this was too terrifying.
Moreover, although Yi Qian didn't have a physique that could be easily sensed, the moment Lü Shu unlocked the star atlas, he clearly felt that the other party's strength started to increase exponentially, as if he had already sealed half of it.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to fight, and he might really die.
Yi Qian sorted out his thoughts and said, "What do you think I should do for you to let me go? I've been a mercenary for decades, and I still have some savings … "
Lü Shu sighed in his heart. Couldn't there be someone who wasn't so sensible? What should he do? He couldn't fight anymore. "Ahem, how many?"
Lü Xiaoyu was too lazy to say anything. She sat on the branch and crossed her arms, staring coldly at Lü Shu. Boring!
Yi Qian cautiously raised his head and glanced at Lü Xiaoyu. He suddenly thought that this little girl was obviously very young, so why was she able to give him so much pressure just now? Where did these two people come from? Not even the royal city had such powerful geniuses, right?
After seeing Xiaoyu's expression, Lü Shu suddenly said, "You see, I'm not such a greedy person, but you're lucky this time!"
Yi Qian was stunned. Why was he so lucky?
"Look, after thinking about it, I think you're a talent. The fact that you're able to make such a name for yourself with a group of stragglers shows that you're still outstanding. And I'm planning to give you a chance to follow me …" Lü Shu said calmly.
"Negative emotion points from Yi Qian, + 666!"
Yi Qian finally understood. So, instead of asking for money, he directly asked for people. If the people belonged to him, wouldn't the money also belong to him?
Meanwhile, what Lü Shu was thinking was that Yi Qian was indeed very strong. With his strength and a group of elite soldiers, it felt like he was in the special forces …
If he hadn't met Lü Xiaoyu and himself, he wouldn't have been so miserable.
Moreover, some of the power he displayed during his advancement had to be kept a secret. He also felt that Yi Qian was a useful talent, so taking him in was the best choice for Lü Shu.
Yi Qian said calmly, "You want me to be your slave? I'm afraid that's impossible. "
Yi Qian had been free for so many years. He didn't join a rich family, nor did he become someone else's slave. He wanted to maintain his personal freedom. He could admit defeat in order to preserve his strength and life, but he would never betray himself.
"No, no, no." Lü Shu shook his head. "I've never taken slaves. I want to sign an alliance."
"An alliance?" Yi Qian was stunned. "How do you know about an alliance?!"
Lü Shu was also stunned. What? Was an alliance very rare?
"How do you know about something like an alliance?" The sword sheath on Yi Qian's back suddenly bloomed. Twelve blades of different lengths floated behind him, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
The twelve blades were strangely shaped. Even Lü Shu, who clearly had victory in his grasp, felt threatened.
Lü Shu was curious. "Is an alliance something confidential?"
In the end, it was Lü Xiaoyu who suddenly spoke up. "Do you know Liu Yizhao, Zhang Weiyu, and Dong Ye?"
Yi Qian said ferociously, "Who are you people? What did you do to Zhang Weiyu and the others?!"
"Cough cough, nothing, nothing." Lü Shu felt that this person seemed to be one of his own. He asked curiously, "Are you very familiar with them? Liu Yizhao is also following me now. He even signed an alliance with me."
As he spoke, Lü Shu pinched a small red flame-like object from between his eyebrows. Upon closer inspection, Liu Yizhao's silhouette could be seen within the flame.
This was a portion of the soul that Liu Yizhao had to give to Lü Shu when he signed the alliance.
At this moment, Yi Qian actually put the twelve blades back into the scabbard. When Lü Shu saw that Yi Qian had actually put the blades away, he beamed. "One of our own …"
However, before Lü Shu could finish speaking, he saw Yi Qian kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face. "My king, I've waited so long for you!"
Lü Shu suddenly had a toothache. Moreover, this Yi Qian actually signed the alliance while crying without any hesitation.
Lü Shu said patiently, "You might have misunderstood … I'm really not some king."
Yi Qian wiped his tears and said, "That's impossible. All these years, I've gone to Nangeng City to see Liu Yizhao several times, and I know him the best. If he didn't confirm your identity, why would he sign the alliance with you?"
As he spoke, Yi Qian began to cry and kowtow. "Mituryū Kanao, Yi Qian, is willing to follow my king through fire and water without hesitation."
Lü Shu thought to himself, 'Liu Yizhao … that's actually also a misunderstanding!'
However, Lü Shu was really emotional. These people really gave their all for an illusory promise. No wonder this mercenary group was so strong. It turned out that they were led by Yi Qian.
However, Lü Shu suddenly felt a little heartache. Did he accidentally kill his own people?
Yi Qian seemed to have seen through Lü Shu's thoughts. He stood up and said, "My king, there's no need to feel pity. These people are just fugitives that I've gathered. They have no loyalty to speak of. All of them followed me to kill and plunder for the sake of profit. I've never taught them any techniques. "
Lü Shu frowned. He really wasn't a king. "Don't call me king."
Yi Qian seemed to have understood something. "Yes, yes, yes. I have to keep a low profile. Then what should I call you? Lord Commander? "
Lü Shu thought of Sun Zhongyang and the others outside. He hurriedly stopped Yi Qian. "Don't call me Commander. Just … just call me Boss!"
Lü Shu thought to himself, 'Isn't my position as the chairman of a monopoly industry?'
