The news has not spread yet, and the scene in the city is still peaceful. Even Feng Quji is enjoying life in the mansion, but he is worried about when he will be able to go out from time to time.
But Xu Qiwen, who had been monitoring Ran Fang, was not so relaxed anymore.
He always felt that something was different in Ran Fang's house today. Although he couldn't tell what was different, he could vaguely sense that today seemed different from the previous few days.
He watched for a while at the door of the Commander's Mansion. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that the matter was quite strange, so he was ready to return to Xiangzhuang to report it.
But what he didn't notice was that someone had already noticed him, and on his way back, there were people following him.
Xu Qiwen glanced at the door of the house a few times to make sure that no one was following him, then he ducked into the house through the back door.
The man made sure where he was, then turned and left.
Xu Qiwen, who was not sure why, came to Xiang Zhuang's room and knocked on the door a few times. When he heard Xiang Zhuang say "come in," he pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing that he was back, Xiang Zhuang closed the letters in his hands, looked at him and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"Could it be that... Ran Fang was assassinated?"
"Brother, can you succeed?!"
Xu Qiwen shook his head, saluted Xiangzhuang respectfully, and then said, "Master, there is no news from Ran Fang's house."
"It's just that... I feel that the guards in Ran Fang's house today are different from the past few days."
Hearing his words, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel tight.
There was no change in the past few days, but now something is suddenly different. Could it be that I have received some news?
"Have there been more manpower, or have there been new faces?"
"Could it be that eldest brother has already entered Xianyang City?"
"How did Ran Fang know the news?"
"Have you noticed anyone different in front of Ran Fang's house these days?"
He knew that Xiang Zhuang cared about Xiang Yu's affairs, but that was not what Xu Qiwen wanted to say.
After thinking about his observations in the past few days, he really didn't find anything different in front of Ran Fang's mansion.
He shook his head, pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't find anything."
"With Master Xiang Yu's ability, if he really entered Xianyang City, how could he be discovered by his subordinates?"
"If it was really discovered by my subordinates, wouldn't the traitor Zhang Liang also be able to discover it?"
"Master Xiang Yu will definitely not do such a thing. Master, there is no need to worry."
"The difference what my subordinate said is not that there are more manpower, but that the guards were talking and laughing at the door in the past few days, but today they did not speak, and they stood at the door with a look of preparedness. .”
"So I would venture to guess that Ran Fang was worried that someone would harm him, so he strengthened the guards in the mansion."
"My subordinates are worried that after Mr. Xiang Yu enters Xianyang City, if he doesn't know about it, he will fall into Ran Fang's trap. Do you want to find a way to send the news to Mr. Xiang Yu so that he can take precautions?"
"If we wait until he enters the city to think of something, I'm afraid it will be too late."
This time, Xiang Zhuang did not speak.
Now in Xianyang City, he is walking on thin ice, worried that his every move will be seen by someone who is interested.
The last time I sent a message to the Xiang family, I took a huge risk.
He now has no news from Xiang's family and doesn't know if they have entered Xianyang City, so he doesn't dare to take any rash action.
If they have already come in, even if the message is sent, they will not be able to receive it, which will increase their own danger.
But...if he didn't take action, then he could help them increase their chances of success.
After struggling in his heart for a while, Xiang Zhuang made up his mind and nodded.
"good!"
"I'll leave this matter to you!"
"I'm worried that they have already set off and the news won't reach them."
"In that case, then go there in person and tell them the news in person."
"I will be waiting peacefully in the house for the past few days and will not go anywhere. After you see them, you can sneak back."
Xu Qiwen knew the difficulties they were in now. If there were always some uncontrollable factors in spreading the news, there would be no problem if he went there in person.
But looking at Xiangzhuang's yard, he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
"Master, how can you feel at ease if you are left alone here?"
"Now Ran Fang's people are still searching everywhere. If they find your hiding place and there is no one around you, what should they do?"
"How about you leave with me and, together with Mr. Xiang Yu, kill the thief Ran Fang with the sword?"
Hearing this, Xiang Zhuang shook his head.
My heart was touched by Xu Qiwen's loyalty, but I couldn't leave here so easily.
He has long since left his own comfort behind, and now he stays here just to make things better in the future.
"No, I know you are worried about me, but I finally found a hiding place. No matter whether big brother or the others fail or succeed, they always have a place to go after they succeed."
"If I leave here, I will be at the mercy of others in the city."
"Moreover, I can know Ran Fang's movements at any time here. I heard that Ying Zheng will come to look for Ran Fang. If I can kill them both together, it will be worth risking my life." Got it!"
"You listen to me, I'm here to find out the information, you go find Big Brother and the others."
Seeing Xiang Zhuang being so decisive, Xu Qiwen couldn't say anything else.
After all, he also knew that when things got to this point, there was no turning back.
Letting him take a walk is the best way.
And no one knows this place. As long as Xiang Zhuang does not go out, even Zhang Liang will not see Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Zhuang is safe.
"Here!"
"My subordinate will leave now. He will be back in three days at most. Master must protect himself."
"No matter what happens in the past few days, don't leave here. If you have anything to do, wait until my subordinates come back."
Listening to Xu Qiwen's nagging, Xiang Zhuang felt his eyes burning.
For some reason, he had a feeling that this might be the last chance for him and Xu Qiwen to meet.
This thought only flashed through his mind. After all, Xu Qiwen would not personally assassinate Ran Fang. He was only going to report the news on the way this time, so there should be no danger.
Thinking about it, he felt a lot relieved.
"Ok, I know."
"Be careful on the road. If you encounter danger, remember to protect yourself."
Xu Qiwen nodded and stood there waiting for Xiang Zhuang to write a letter.
Half an hour later, he put the letter on his chest and put it away properly.
"Master, be careful!"
After saying that, he left uneasily.
When he reached the door, he made sure there was no one at the door, then opened the door and walked out.
When he walked outside the city, he felt like he was being followed, but when he turned around, he didn't find anything.
This uneasy feeling became stronger and stronger. When he came to a village, he was even more sure that someone was following him behind him.
His heart skipped a beat, thinking of Xiang Zhuang hiding there.
When he was about to get rid of this man and go back, he was passing by a small forest when he was suddenly blocked by a long sword.
"Where are you going?!"
