When he returned to his home from the palace, Ran Fang couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed. What he had been struggling with for so long finally had a result. It was really a joyful thing.
It would be even more of a blessing if you could find some good friends and have a good drink.
Ran Fang was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, so he went back home and asked the cook to make some dishes suitable for drinking, and asked Zhang Liang and Liu Bang to have a few drinks with him.
When he returned to the mansion, as expected, Zhang Liang, Liu Bang and Cao Yangyun were already waiting at the door. Xiang Jin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was also waiting for him at the door with worry written on his face.
Judging from the look in her eyes, it was clear that she wanted to know the outcome of the Xiang family.
Sure enough, when he saw Ran Fang walking in, Xiang Jin couldn't wait to step forward, curtsied to Ran Fang and said, "See the commander."
The rest of the people also saluted Ran Fang and said, "See the commander."
Ran Fang glanced at them intently and walked straight in with calm steps.
Seeing this, the people behind him hurriedly followed.
After arriving in the front hall and waiting for Ran Fang to sit down, Xiang Jin finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "May I ask the commander, how are my brothers and the others...how are they?"
"When will Your Majesty execute them?"
"Can I... can I go see them?"
At the end of her words, Xiang Jin looked at Ran Fang with tears in her eyes, as if her tears were about to burst if Ran Fang didn't answer.
Zhang Liang and Liu Bang, who were standing behind Xiang Jin, were also anxiously waiting for Ran Fang's answer.
It's just that their eyes are different. One is expecting, the other is concerned.
Ran Fang lowered his head with a serious expression.
Finally, he raised his head again and sighed with great pity: "Alas..."
"His Majesty……"
From this meaning, one knew that Ying Zheng would not let them go.
Although this answer was expected, when he heard Ran Fang say this, Xiang Jin trembled and almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Liang also had a heartbroken look on his face and didn't know how to react.
Looking at their expressions, Ran Fang suddenly put away the solemn look on his face and burst into laughter.
He leaned back slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "Your Majesty is very magnanimous and willing to give the Xiang family a chance."
"As long as they are willing to surrender to Da Qin, they will not care about what happened before."
"Xiang Yu and others also agreed. Now they are also generals of our Great Qin. After their wounds are healed in a few days, Your Majesty will give them official positions."
Hearing this, Xiang Jin immediately burst into laughter and looked at Ran Fang in disbelief, seeming to guess the authenticity of his words.
However, Zhang Liang reacted quickly. He knew that Ran Fang was not good at joking, so it was really commendable that he made a joke with them just now.
Now that Ran Fang is so serious, there must be no lies in this matter.
"I'm on behalf of Xiang's family. Thank you for your words of help."
They all understood that with Ying Zheng's temperament, they would not leave the Xiang family behind, especially knowing their rebellious intentions.
If Ran Fang hadn't spoken for them, Xiang Yu and others would definitely have died today.
Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Xiang Jin also reacted. She immediately knelt on the ground, looked at Ran Fang with grateful eyes, and said with a trembling tone: "Thank you, Commander, for your help."
"It doesn't matter, the credit for this matter does not lie with me."
Ran Fang spoke very lightly. The moment Xiang Jin raised his head, he continued: "Your Majesty is still magnanimous."
"However, we don't know whether they sincerely surrender."
"It all depends on their performance in the future. If they do something detrimental to Great Qin in the future, His Majesty will not let them go like this."
Xiang Jin nodded immediately and said very sincerely: "Thank you, Commander, for the tip. I believe that brother and the others will understand the commander's painstaking efforts."
Seeing how much she believed in Xiang Yu and the others, Ran Fang didn't say anything else. After all, the opportunity had been given to them, and whether they could seize it or not was beyond his control.
"Okay, please step aside. I have something to discuss with them."
"I retire."
After saying that, Xiang Jin stood up and glanced at Ran Fang reluctantly before turning and leaving.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she seemed to have made some kind of determination and walked very firmly.
But no one saw this scene. Ran Fang thought about enjoying himself. After Xiang Jin left, he looked at the remaining people with a smile.
"It's been quite busy these past few days. You must be very tired too. How about I take you to relax?"
Hearing this, with an expression of surprise in his eyes, he raised his head and looked at Ran Fang, waiting for his next words.
"Subordinates, please listen to your Majesty!"
Seeing how cooperative they were, Ran Fang looked at Zhang Liang and said, "I heard that you had a wine shop before, so you must be familiar with which wine shop in this city is good. Take someone to buy some wine immediately. Have a nice drink tonight."
"Liu Bang, go to the kitchen and tell the cook to cook properly. Everyone in the house will eat and drink well tonight!"
"And Cao Yangyun, please arrange the guards who will be patrolling today. Those who can't eat and drink should pay more. The rest of us will have a good time in the backyard together."
This was Ran Fang's first "carnival night" since he was released from prison. It was also their first celebration since they lived in this mansion, so naturally it had to be lively.
Several people's faces showed joy. They have been really busy during this period. They haven't had a banquet for a long time.
Now that they have this opportunity, several people are very happy.
"Well, my subordinates will get ready immediately."
It was still early, but there were a lot of things to do, and the three of them couldn't wait to prepare those things.
Especially Zhang Liang, although he had opened a wine shop, his main purpose at that time was to collect intelligence, not to investigate which wine was good, so he could only find a wine shop on the street that sounded good.
Unexpectedly, he would meet Gu Siyuan on the road.
When Gu Siyuan saw his happy expression, Zhang Liang secretly thought, "Something bad is going to happen."
Gu Siyuan didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked towards him happily, with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Zhang Liang, don't you need to patrol these days?"
"Why are you here with your palace guards?"
"Did something happen in Sir's house?"
"Tell me, see if I can be of any help?"
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Liang nervously, but there was still strong interest in his eyes.
Zhang Liang didn't know how to answer, so in the end he had to tell the truth.
"I came out to buy wine. Your Majesty wants more wine. I will bring the wine back with my guards."
Just hearing his words, Gu Siyuan's eyes suddenly rolled around and he came to the conclusion that this matter was by no means that simple!
He came forward to please him, watched Zhang Liang pat his chest, and said confidently: "Leave this matter to me!"
“There’s no food in this city that I don’t know about!”
"You can take the people back, and I will personally deliver the wine later. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"
Without waiting for Zhang Liang to object, he pushed Zhang Liang back towards his home.
Zhang Liang sighed in his heart, "Sure enough..."
