All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 127 I am Xiang Shaolong, and I thank you, chivalrous hero, for saving my life.

Chapter 127 I am Xiang Shaolong, and I thank you, chivalrous hero, for saving my life.

The next day.

The group continued on their journey.

Around noon, the group stopped by a riverbank to cook lunch.

Gu Yu walked to a follower and whispered, "Shanrou, from today onwards, you don't need to stay by my side to secretly protect the princess."

This attendant was none other than the female assassin, Shan Rou.

She has always preferred to be alone. The reason she followed Gu Yu this time was twofold: first, to repay a debt of gratitude, and second, to join forces with Gu Yu to deal with Zhao Mu.

Shanrou frowned: "Why should we protect her?"

"Think about it, if something happens to the princess, won't I be implicated too? We agreed to join forces to deal with Zhao Mu."

"All right!"

Shanrou responded and turned to leave.

After she left, Gu Yu strolled along the riverbank, admiring the pristine beauty.

"roar!"

Suddenly, a tiger's roar came from the forest on the other side of the riverbank, causing chaos among the warhorses.

"Help!"

Immediately afterwards, another cry for help rang out.

Gu Yu subconsciously looked up and saw a figure running quickly out of the forest.

"Um?"

Upon seeing the other person clearly, Gu Yu was astonished.

The person's appearance looked familiar. Although he was wearing Warring States period style clothing, it looked like a prop costume.

Could it be Xiang Shaolong?

This guy finally showed up?

Just as Gu Yu was lost in thought, a large, striped tiger rushed out of the forest.

"Help!"

Upon seeing a team stationed on the riverbank, the enemy's spirits lifted, and they sped up their pace to approach.

However, haste makes waste; he tripped over a stone on the ground and fell to the ground.

"roar!"

The tiger charged forward like the wind.

"You beast!"

Gu Yu shouted, his toes barely touching the stones that had emerged from the riverbank, and in the blink of an eye, he had crossed the riverbank.

Whether it was his overwhelming presence or the tiger's realization that there were so many people on the riverbank, it finally turned tail and fled back into the mountains.

"My God, is this the legendary light-footed skill?"

Xiang Shaolong stared at Gu Yu in shock, forgetting to get up.

"Hey, the tiger's already escaped, what are you still standing there for?"

Xiang Shaolong finally came to his senses, quickly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "I—I am Xiang Shaolong, thank you for saving my life, chivalrous gentleman."

It really is Xiang Shaolong!

Young brother, I'm so sorry you're a little late.

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Brother, how come you were chased and bitten by a tiger as soon as you arrived?"

"this----"

Xiang Shaolong was somewhat surprised.

To be honest, he was quite unlucky. He had just transmigrated to this world and hadn't even figured out what was going on when he encountered a tiger.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to run into so many people, he might have become a tiger's meal by now.

But this is his biggest secret. How come this person seems to know something about it?

Otherwise, why would they inexplicably say that they were bitten by a tiger as soon as they arrived?

"Alright, if it's inconvenient, don't say anything. If you have nowhere to go, just come with me."

So easy to talk to?

Xiang Shaolong's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to ask, "Excuse me, sir, what exactly is this place?"

"The State of Zhao!"

"The State of Zhao?" Xiang Shaolong paused, then asked, "May I trouble you to ask the brave warrior what year it is now?"

Gu Yu chuckled inwardly, but feigned surprise and asked, "Could it be that you are a visitor from outer space?"

Not knowing where they are is bad enough, but not even knowing what year and month it is?

Xiang Shaolong was startled and quickly said, "To be honest, brave warrior, I grew up in the mountains and have never seen the world, so I don't know much about it."

"I see. So, what brings you out this time?"

"It's precisely because I've never seen the world that I've ventured out to explore."

"Alright, then I won't keep you from exploring the world any longer."

After saying that, Gu Yu turned and left.

"Hero, hero—"

Xiang Shaolong caught up with him.

"What's wrong?"

"I wish to go to Handan, but I don't know how to get there."

Gu Yu smiled and said, "You're going to Handan? Why don't you come with us?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's wonderful, thank you so much, brave warrior!"

Once bitten by a tiger, he's afraid of wild cats for ten years.

Although he was physically strong, he could easily handle a few bandits or mountain thieves, but if he encountered tigers or wild boars, he might lose his life.

Another point is that he had personally witnessed Gu Yu's movement technique, which must be the legendary lightness skill. Naturally, he wanted to get close to him, hoping to learn a move or two.

It wasn't until they set up camp in the afternoon that Xiang Shaolong realized he had been tricked—the team wasn't going to Handan at all, but to the State of Wei.

What should I do?

Or should I leave the group and go to Handan by myself?

But after much deliberation, he realized that going to Handan now would be pointless. In terms of time, the future Qin Shi Huang was still imprisoned in the hostage residence, and it would be three years before he ascended the throne of Qin.

It's all that damned Director Ma's fault. He said he'd use a time machine to send him back to the moment when King Zheng of Qin ascended the throne, so he could witness history.

They even claimed that they had successfully sent twelve white mice and two monkeys back to the past and brought them back safely.

It's too late to say anything now.

He had already traveled to the Warring States period, but the time of his travel was three years earlier than expected.

Director Ma, you're such a liar! It's bad enough that you delivered the car at the wrong time, but then you ran into a tiger as soon as you arrived. You were finally rescued, but it turned out to be an unlicensed taxi driver who was driving in the wrong direction.

Meanwhile, a commotion broke out at Lady Ya's camp.

It turned out that Zhao De, having nothing better to do and consumed by lust, had led a group of his retainers into Lady Ya's tent with malicious intent.

In the past, Mrs. Ya might not have minded.

But now she is completely focused on Gu Yu, and she has promised Gu Yu that she will cut ties with her past self and will no longer associate with other men.

Zhao Da and the others knew about these things, so they blocked Zhao De and the others from entering.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Shaoyuan, but this is Madam's private account. She has instructed that no one may enter without her permission."

Upon hearing this, Zhao De flew into a rage: "Who do you think you are? How dare you defy your superiors? Go and teach these blind fools a lesson!"

He brought more than a dozen guards with him; if they were ordinary guards, Zhao Da and the others would have been able to handle them.

However, Zhao De had three skilled fighters under his command, named Xu Hai, Pu Bu, and Liu Chao.

As soon as these three made their move, Zhao Da, Zhao Er, and the others were unable to withstand it. Before long, the youngest, Zhao Qi, was hit by a sword and kicked to the ground by Xu Hai.

Immediately afterwards, another guard thrust his sword into Zhao Qi's chest, clearly intending to kill him.

At this critical moment, a pebble flew by and knocked the sword out of the servant's hand with a "clang".

Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed over like a whirlwind, charging into the crowd bare-handed. With a series of loud bangs, Zhao De's retainers fell to the ground one after another.

Xu Hai, Pu Bu, and Liu Chao were no exception; they all fell in a single encounter.

"Hiss~"

Xiang Shaolong, who was following closely behind, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but gasp.

My God, is this a martial arts film?

Previously, he had only witnessed Gu Yu's lightness skill, but now he has finally witnessed Gu Yu's strength.

Single-handedly, with his bare hands, he managed to defeat more than a dozen sword-wielding guards in less than ten seconds.

This made him even less willing to leave.

This is even more powerful than Wong Fei-hung in the movies.

No way, I'm sticking with this powerful figure.

If I could learn even a single move, I could brag about it for the rest of my life if I traveled back in time.
