Chapter 669: Sun Ce becomes a disciple
“Qin Hao actually...”
Gongsun Xuanyuan’s eyes widened and he couldn’t believe that Qin Hao would return the Xuanyuan Sword to him.
From Qin Hao's ecstatic look just now, Gongsun Xuanyuan was sure that Qin Hao recognized the Xuanyuan Sword. After all, the Xuanyuan Sword was not rusty, and its features were still very obvious.
The Divine Sword is clearly within easy reach. If Qin Hao wants to rob it, he may not be able to keep it, so why should he give up?
The rumors among the world are indeed true. Qin Hao is a man of noble character and does not bother to take my Xuanyuan Sword by force.
Gongsun Xuanyuan secretly thought that he admired Qin Hao's determination, but Qin Hao's next move made him stunned again.
After Qin Hao put the Xuanyuan Sword back into the scabbard, he directly took the scabbard and pulled it out from his back, then put it in his hand to observe carefully.
“Am I really thinking too much?”
Gongsun Xuanyuan smiled bitterly and whispered to himself, feeling extremely disappointed with Qin Hao in his heart. But the next moment, Qin Hao put the Xuanyuan Sword in Gongsun Xuanyuan's hand and helped Gongsun Xuan up.
Looking at Qin Hao who was so close, Gongsun Xuanyuan felt extremely complicated and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Qin Hao smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "This is not my trophy. Now that Xiang Yu is dead, it will naturally return to its original owner."
Gongsun Xuanyuan looked at Qin Hao with a serious face and said softly: "You will regret it."
"No, I will not."
Qin Hao's eyes were full of determination, and then he looked at Gongsun Xuanyuan eagerly and said with a smile: "Although the holy weapon is good, in my eyes, it is just a sword. The sword master who can use this sword is An unparalleled talent in the country."
Gongsun Xuanyuan's heart trembled, and the eyes he looked at Qin Hao couldn't help but soften. Finally, someone recognized his talent.
Gongsun Xuanyuan bowed his hand to Qin Hao, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Xuanyuan is just a small border general, and he is not worthy of being so valued by the Marquis."
“Now Yuan, Meng and Manchu are causing trouble in the Northern Territory. Since this sword is in your hand, General Xuanyuan, you must protect the peace of the people in the Northern Territory.”
“The Marquis is very righteous.”
Qin Hao patted Gongsun Xuanyuan on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Although I will not take this sword, there are probably not a few people who covet it in the world. General Xuanyuan should be careful."
Gongsun Xuanyuan knew that Qin Hao was reminding him to be careful of people from hundreds of families. He felt warm in his heart and said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. With this sword in my hand, I won't be afraid even if the great master comes in person."
As soon as he said these words, Gongsun Xuanyuan thought that not long ago, he was beaten by Xiang Yu, who had just broken through to the Grand Master, so his face couldn't help but turn a little red.
Qin Hao nodded after hearing this, and when he was about to say something more, he saw Yuan Shu walking toward him menacingly.
Yuan Shu looked angry and shouted: "Qin Hao, why didn't you stop me? Instead, you watched that woman jump off the cliff with Xiang Yu's body?"
“Why stop?”
Qin Hao covered his ears with one hand and stopped Yuan Shu from approaching any further with the other hand. He said calmly: "Xiang Yu is already dead. Since that woman wants to die, why not help them."
“Perfect? You...you...”
Yuan Shu stared at Qin Hao with his eyes widened and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
From Yuan Shu's point of view, even if Xiang Yu died, his body would still be of great value. He even wanted to make Xiang Yu's skull into a utensil for collection.
Yuan Shu was extremely excited when he thought that the man who was once the best in the world became his collection after his death, but all of this was ruined by Qin Hao, a prodigal son.
“That’s Xiang Yu’s body, Xiang Yu’s body?”
Yuan Shu's eyes were full of anger, and he said heartbrokenly: "So many people from the eighteen princes died, so that you, Qin Hao, took an advantage, but you are so good that you want to help Xiang Yu and that woman?"
Seeing this, Qin Hao sighed and said helplessly: "That woman has obviously practiced martial arts. If I step forward to stop her, what will she do if she fights with me?"
Yuan Shu only felt that he had heard this big joke. He widened his eyes and said in shock: "Are you afraid of a woman?" Qin Hao nodded: "What if it hurts me? Or her weapons are poisonous?"
Yuan Shu felt like he was going crazy, pointed at Qin Hao and said angrily: "Stop making excuses, you did it on purpose."
Seeing Yuan Shu's reluctance, Qin Hao showed an expression as if he had a toothache and said helplessly: "Then why didn't you stand up and kill Xiang Yu? Instead, you let me, a person from afar, get a big advantage so easily?"
"me…"
Yuan Shu was speechless. Naturally, he might have said that he didn't dare, so he forcefully argued: "You took a step ahead of me. I was just about to take action when..."
"enough."
Qin Hao directly interrupted Yuan Shu's sophistry and said impatiently: "Xiang Yu's body is under the cliff. If you want, you can salvage it yourself."
After saying that, Qin Hao ignored Yuan Shu and turned away directly.
Yuan Shu looked at Qin Hao's back bitterly, but at this time Zhao Kuangyin came over and asked: "My lord, do you want to salvage or not?"
With a thousand-foot cliff and thousands of miles of Yangtze River below, finding a corpse is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will definitely cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and it may not be possible to find it.
A hint of coldness flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and he said angrily: "Find me even the needle in the haystack."
On the other side, Lu Bu saw that Xiang Yu was dead and was not prepared to stay too long. But when he was about to leave, a young man blocked his way.
“My young son, Sun Ce, pays homage to General Lu.” Sun Ce saluted respectfully.
“Sun Ce?”
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. He didn't have a close relationship with Sun Jian. Why did his son come to him?
“Tell me why you’re here.”
Sun Ce's eyes flashed with determination, and he immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "Sun Ce wants to learn the halberd technique from General Lu as his master."
“Learn the halberd from me? Why?”
“After Xiang Yu’s death, the general became the best halberd user in the world. Only by learning from the strongest can one become the strongest, and I, Sun Ce, want to become the strongest.”
Looking at the heroic young man in front of him, Lu Bu couldn't help but think of himself. Xiang Yu didn't kill him when he was at Hulao Pass, which made Lu Bu see his own shadow in Sun Ce.
Xiang Yu is undoubtedly a cruel person, but not only did he let Sun Ce go, he also instructed him to use a halberd as a weapon. Although the specific intention is unknown, it can at least prove that this young man really has potential.
Lu Bu remained as indifferent as ever and said calmly: "I can teach you the halberd technique."
Sun Ce felt happy, but then Lu Bu said again: "But I will not accept you as a disciple. How much you can learn depends on your own ability."
Sun Ce’s face fell, but when he thought that he had not been rejected, it proved that there was still hope for the future.
“Master, I will definitely work hard.” Sun Ce shouted.
Lu Bu frowned slightly when he saw this and said calmly: "I am not your master."
“I know, Master.”
“I told you that I am not your master.”
“You are right, Master.”
Seeing that Sun Ce refused to change despite repeated teachings, Lu Bu shook his head and ignored him, while Sun Ce immediately followed him and started his three-year journey of learning the halberd.
