Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

"..."

Liu Bei stood up, holding the flustered Jia Xu in his arms. He also saw this scene and frowned, saying, "I once exchanged blows with the Grand Chamberlain, and he was like this too."

Master Lu had no doubts and immediately said, "Then go forward and verify it."

"Uh, verify what?"

"Is he a eunuch?"

"?"

Liu Bei pulled the corner of his mouth, looked at the young master helplessly, and sighed: "There is no need to go to so much trouble. I can see that these two people are in good health and are not eunuchs in the palace."

Master Lu knew that he had the Scarlet Sky fragment and could sense the people and things around him, so he nodded and was about to say something else... when he heard a series of wailing sounds from outside.

Jiujiang County: Chapter 6: My Aircraft Carrier

Master Lu and Liu Bei looked at each other, then the latter kicked open the car door and jumped out alone.

The moment he landed, dozens of swords came from all directions, and it seemed that they had been lying in ambush for a long time.

But unfortunately, there is someone else behind.

"Click——"

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Bei, a figure jumped out of the carriage again, placed one foot on Liu Bei's shoulder, and used the force to spin the sword in the air.

In just a moment, dozens of heads flew away.

Liu Bei wiped the blood off his face and complained: "Master, can we scholars not be so violent..."

"Oh, if a scholar is about to pick up a sword and kill someone, then he should definitely fight to the death to avoid future troubles."

Master Lu threw the sword back to Liu Bei and said, "It's a good sword. If you have the chance to find another one in the future, Xuande's power will be unstoppable."

"Master, you are too kind...eh?"

The sky suddenly darkened.

Liu Bei subconsciously raised his head, and then saw a scene that puzzled him greatly.

Above the clouds, a huge black shadow stands proudly with its majestic figure.

Its overall volume is so vast that it looks like a steel plain suspended in the air.

Its steel lines are smooth and strong, and the metal shell reflects dazzling light in the sun, showing an unparalleled cold glow.

The central tower stands upright.

The turbine blades on both sides of the giant rotate slowly, providing power for this unknown behemoth.

"?"

Liu Bei looked at it in amazement: "My God, an aircraft carrier..."

Yesterday, I heard Queen Song say that Hua Tuo had replaced the bones of the Grand Chamberlain, which was already scary enough. Now I saw with my own eyes an aircraft carrier, and I don’t know how it was able to fly in the air.

Don't be too outrageous.

What the hell, isn’t he the immortal Qin Shenhan? Why are there so many high-tech products recently!

Master Lu also witnessed this scene and muttered to himself, "It turned out to be the Qin Shi Huang warship No. 2... Haha, no wonder I didn't detect the presence of these people in advance."

"What is Qin Shi Huang No. 2?"

Master Lu looked back at his disciple, whose worldview had been completely shattered, and smiled leisurely: "When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, the king's ship that all the ministers recommended was this one."

Wait, is this Wang Fujian?

It turns out that I have wasted more than ten years of my life in the first half of my life and didn’t even realize this.

Perhaps he saw the doubt in Liu Bei's heart, Master Lu explained:

"These incompatible products, such as warships and the body of cold iron, actually originated from Qin. However, the Overlord of Western Chu burned them all with divine fire in Xianyang."

"After our great-grandfather gained control of the country, he concealed the records of these products, claiming that 'the multitude of artifacts would cause trouble', and thus the world knew nothing about them."

Liu Bei felt a headache after hearing this, but he quickly understood the logic behind it: "So, what we have in front of us is a replica?"

"There are so many ancient books, and many of them are incomplete, so it's hard to know."

Master Lu glanced at the surrounding scenery and sighed, "Whether it's true or not, it's coming for us."

Liu Bei also slowly came back to his senses at this time.

Not only the hundreds of guards around, but also the officials in other carriages and the bandits in front, had turned into a pool of blood, which remained there for a long time.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Liu Bei and Master Lu had seen bloodier things before, so it was fine. However, Jia Xu in the carriage had turned pale and was shivering in the corner.

And in the dark, there are many pairs of eyes, filled with murderous intent, ready to strike.

If they hadn't been frightened by Master Lu's ability to kill dozens of people in an instant, they would have probably drawn their swords and attacked by now.

“…Looks like we’re in trouble.”

The enemy has countless steel bodies, and there is a warship in the sky looking down at them, while they only have two people and two swords... Well, Jia Xu is not a human.

This situation is a desperate one.

Liu Bei possesses the Chixiao fragment, but that doesn't mean he can fight for a whole day like a certain captain. His body still has its limits. Moreover, even if he is chopped down by these steel bodies, there is still a warship in the sky. How can he chop it down?

But he didn't have time to hesitate. He took a half step forward and said, "Master, that thing up there didn't attack immediately, which means it has some concerns... Well, Master, you can take Wenhe ahead and the backup will follow."

Master Lu looked at him curiously: "I don't think I ever taught you to act on impulse, did I?"

"With the Scarlet Sky Fragment at hand, I'm not afraid of these enemies. Master, please..."

"Yes, you already said I was a master."

Master Lu protected Liu Bei with one hand and said calmly, "I am your elder. If we need to escape, you should protect Wenhe and run away. How could a master abandon his disciple and run away?"

"What's more, a mere warship and a few fake people, can they harm my master?"

Master Lu was extremely domineering when he said this, and his thin back looked a little tall.

Completely different from her delicate appearance, she is actually a fearless person. She can directly rebuke the officials in power in the court and dare to lead the charge on the battlefield... Such a person really can't even write the word "fear".

But for Lu Zhi, she would rather live in seclusion in the countryside, concentrate on studying Confucianism and teaching her disciples, and have no other wishes.

To the Master, worldly fame and fortune are but fleeting dreams that will shatter at the slightest touch.

But the world is such that one cannot get what one wants. Refusing an official position once is righteousness, but refusing twice or three times? That would be contempt for the court and a challenge to imperial power.

So Lu Zhi came out of seclusion.

The school on Luoyang Mountain is not so much a property of the Lu family as it is a grave that Lu Zhi dug for his own ideals.

Think about it.

After receiving the task of suppressing the rebellion, Lu Zhi mistakenly believed that he would spend his whole life in the military. However, he did not expect that this lovely disciple would casually say, "The teacher's hands are more suitable for holding scriptures and reciting Confucianism, rather than being rough with people," which revealed what she was thinking.

This is the harmony of Tao.

Even without talking about personal preferences, just based on this sentence, Lu Zhi would protect Liu Bei to the death.

"Master, what you said is absolutely true."

Liu Bei understood what Master Lu was thinking, but he didn't back down. He just smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a good teacher produces a good student. Since you are fearless, your disciple will naturally be fearless too."

Lu Zhi turned his head and glared at him, saying, "...How did you become a disciple? Humph, you really know how to flatter yourself."

"..."

Liu Bei chuckled twice, waved his hand and said, "How about we see who kills the most?"

"I won't compete with you."

Master Lu flicked his sleeves, and an arrow suddenly appeared in his hand. "Your martial arts test this year is this battle. Now, go and kill all these steel men, and you'll graduate."

"As for that thing in the sky, leave it to me, Master."

Jiujiang County: Chapter 7: Master, stop making trouble!

"Master..."

Liu Bei hesitated to speak, but after seeing her determined eyes, he finally nodded: "Master, please be careful in everything and don't make others cry."

"Oh, everyone in the world comes here for profit, who would be willing to cry for a teacher?"

"Me." Liu Bei pointed at his nose with a serious tone.

Master Lu rolled his eyes at him. "...You're such a snob! If you don't kill them all, I'll fail your assessment."

"Disciple will follow Master's teachings."

After receiving the order, Liu Bei immediately rushed forward and drew his sword!

All the surrounding trees collapsed, and the scoundrels swung their knives at him at the same time. Another villain took a big step back and shot an arrow at him from behind.

But unfortunately, these attacks could not reach Liu Bei.

Although his martial arts skills were not as superb as Master Lu's, who could kill dozens of people instantly, he could still kill one person with each swing of his sword, and if he used a little more force, he could even kill three people at once.

However, when Liu Bei was so engrossed in killing people, he failed to notice that a faint red light seemed to emerge in his peach blossom eyes.

"…crimson?"

One of the secret guards, who was standing relatively close, naturally noticed the light and instantly cried out, "A fragment of Scarlet Sky?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was beheaded with a sword.

“…Retreat quickly.”

These secret guards stepped back several steps and stared at Liu Bei's eyes vigilantly. It was obvious that they also recognized the Chixiao fragments.

Liu Bei remained calm and said, "The only people in the world who know Chi Xiao are the royal family and nobles. Which prince are you serving under?"

"..."

The secret guards were silent.

They could easily kill all the officers and soldiers without making any noise because they all had hands of steel and were hiding in the dark, so they could kill them with one blow.

But it's not good enough in front of the holder of the Chixiao fragment.

The ambush mission is secondary. The current task is to inform... uh, what is that?

A dark shadow flashed in the peripheral vision of the secret guards. Just as they were about to turn over to resist, the dagger had already grazed their necks.

Then, the black shadows did not stop at all and rushed towards the remaining secret guards at a rapid speed.

"Thanks, Sixth and Seventh Brothers."

Liu Bei thanked him and turned around to help the young teacher. It would have been better if he hadn't turned around, but this turn scared him.

The Master threw an arrow toward the warship in the sky, stepped on it with both feet, and landed one foot on the center of the arrow. He then flew up into the sky at an incredible speed.

No, sister, is that the somersault cloud? Monkey King?

But what is even more shocking is yet to come.

Master Lu waved his sleeves again, and dozens of arrows fell out from them, then floated around him in violation of the law of gravity.

"The great way of Confucianism, a hundred martial arts, only this one move... Ask all the evils in the world, do you regret it?"

The cold voice echoed throughout the sky.

Although it was a question, Master Lu did not wait for a reply. Instead, he waved his hand forward, and all the arrows around him poured out.

"Shhhhh-"

It was unknown what material these dozens of arrows were made of, but even when they touched the steel body of the warship, they did not feel any hindrance and penetrated it easily as if they were shooting through soft objects.

After these arrows flew through, they turned around and passed through miraculously.

The speed was only fast at the beginning, but it became faster and faster as time went on, and even Liu Bei could not see its trajectory clearly for a moment.

In just a short moment, this huge warship was pierced into a hedgehog head by dozens of arrows.

Dozens of times became hundreds of times, hundreds of times became thousands of times... until after millions and millions of times, the entire warship, from top to bottom, front to back, was annihilated into nothingness, leaving only bits of debris.

Yes, these dozens of arrows easily turned the overwhelming warship into pieces.

Master Lu stood on the arrow with his hands behind his back. His cold look made him look like a fairy in a novel about cultivating immortals. He seemed to be out of touch with the world.
