Xiang Ji returned home and heard that his uncle had been arrested. He was furious and said, "The government is forcing people too much, and they will definitely bring trouble to the whole situation!" After that, he went to save his two uncles. The two aunts hurriedly stopped him and said, "My nephew, please don't be reckless. How can you save him alone?" Xiang Ji said disdainfully, "Those official servants are useless. I will fight in and I will definitely save my uncle!" When he went out, Xiang Guan also volunteered to help. Seeing that Xiang Guan was still young, Xiang Ji asked him to protect his younger siblings at home, and then rushed out of the door. The two aunts complained endlessly.

Xiang Ji went straight to the yamen gate and asked the officer guarding the gate for his uncle. The official sneered and said, "You are so stupid. You didn't catch enough. There is no reason to let him go again. You should be arrested too!" Xiang Ji was furious and pushed the official with his hand, causing the official to fall to the ground immediately. Xiang Ji went straight to the county government office to settle accounts with the county magistrate, but the magistrate happened to be away from the government office. Xiang Ji saw an official coming out at this time, so he stepped forward and grabbed him and asked Xiang Liang where the pass was. The official asked, "Who are you?" Xiang Ji replied, "I am his nephew Xiang Ji. I want to rescue them, so don't be nagging!" The official shouted who was coming. Xiang Ji knocked him out with one slap. Suddenly, dozens of officials jumped out from the courtyard. Among them were some who had been injured by Xiang Yu a few days ago. When they saw Xiang Yu coming to his door, they all besieged them together. Xiang Ji's eyes widened in anger, and the anger gushing out of his eyes was like a flame, which only frightened the officials to back away. Xiang Ji went straight to the prison and came to the cell door. He found that every cell was full of young men who had just been captured. Xiang Ji opened the cell doors one by one and finally found his two uncles. Xiang Ji said to everyone: "Follow me and fight for your own lives now!" The strong men responded together and followed Xiang Yu to escape from prison.

When they arrived at the county government compound, the county magistrate had already led officials and held torches to surround them from all sides. The county magistrate pointed his sword at Xiang Ji and said, "You brave maniac, how dare you let the prisoner go! Come on, take him down!" The officials swarmed around him. Xiang Ji grabbed an officer's sword and was about to kill him. Xiang Liang hurriedly shouted: "Nephew, don't do violence!" Xiang Ji said: "Uncle! How can we get out without killing them?" Xiang Liang said: "Only knock them over, don't kill them!" Xiang Ji said So he wielded his sword and fought with the officers. The officers were defeated one after another despite being their opponents. Everyone left the county government office, and more than a hundred strong men fled together. When the county magistrate saw this, he became angry and ordered his officials to shoot Xiang's uncle and nephew with arrows. Xiang Liang saw that the officials were surrounded by people, and he thought that it would be difficult to survive without killing. He also thought that he had been in prison for many years, and if he didn't resist today, he would only die. Thinking of this, he became angry, so he yelled and snatched it away first. An officer's sword was pointed out, and he shouted angrily: "Fuck officer! We will fight with you! My nephew will kill you!" After that, he slashed at the officer with his sword. Xiang Bo also seized weapons and resisted.

When Xiang Ji heard his uncle's order, he put into practice what he had learned. I saw him wielding the steel knife, walking as fast as flying, killing people like lightning. In just a moment, he chopped down all the dozens of officials to the ground. The speed was simply unimaginable. At this time, the county magistrate believed that Xiang Ji was really capable of defeating ten thousand men, so he hurriedly escaped with the county magistrate. When they came to the backyard, the county magistrate cried loudly: "Now all the prisoners captured have been released by Xiang Yu. How can I explain to the county guard?" The county magistrate relied on his martial arts skills and ran to the stable to ride a horse. horse, and then ordered the officers and soldiers to pursue Xiang Ji again. At this time, Xiang Ji had already escorted the two uncles out of the county government office, but unexpectedly the county captain arrived on horseback. Xiang Ji asked his two uncles to leave first, and turned around to fight with the county captain. One was on the horse and the other was on the ground. After a few moves, Xiang Ji dragged the county captain off his horse and stabbed him to death. He took the opportunity to seize the horse and rode after his uncle.

After returning home, Xiang Liang said: "We have no retreat. We can only leave the city before dark!" He packed a few bags of valuables and prepared a carriage. Xiang Liang told Xiang Ji to protect his two aunts and younger brothers and sisters and leave first, while he and Xiang Bo were separated from the rear. Xiang Liang went out of the courtyard, took some money and sent away the guests, then lit a fire and burned the courtyard. The two aunts looked back and saw the fire, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Xiang Liang said: "Ying Zheng is cruel and unkind, and I have no sworn relationship with him! As long as we can avoid this disaster, we will have revenge one day!" After that, he urged everyone to leave quickly. Xiang Ji got on his horse, went to seize the gate, killed all the gatekeepers, cut off the suspension bridge cables with a flying knife, and left the city.

Xiang Liang fled with his family, but got separated from Xiang Bo on the way. Three months later, Xiang Liang and Xiang Ji took their family to Wu County, the county seat of Kuaiji County. A long time had passed by this time, and the government no longer pursued the matter, so Xiang Liang's family settled in Wu County. Xiang Ji hated the First Emperor and wanted to find an opportunity to kill him.

Wu County was the capital of the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. After the fall of the State of Wu, people used to call it Wuzhong. This county is a large and prosperous county in the south of the Yangtze River, with hundreds of thousands of households, a population of 13 million, and 22 counties. Wuxian is also a prosperous metropolis with a population of more than 100,000. The city is bustling with traffic, there are many shops, and the economy is prosperous. Because Qin Shihuang recruited men from all over the country every year or even every month, the number of men in the city dropped sharply in the past few years, leaving only the elderly, women and children. Those strong men who were a little slow or disobedient would be arrested and sent into service by the government. Local officials only acted in accordance with the imperial edicts and did not care about everyone's life and death. The people really lived like a year. Just when the people in Wuzhong were panicking, they suddenly heard a very bad news, that is, the First Emperor was going to the east again for a tour.

It turned out that the First Emperor was also a man who was eager for quick success. He received reports from various places in the north and south in Xianyang. He only said that the projects in various places were progressing smoothly, and he wanted to see with his own eyes how it was going. In addition, he was always worried about the clouds in the southeast. Or he was worried that something would happen to him. Because when he was on tour in the thirty-sixth year, the astronomical official said that there was a phenomenon of Yingzhuo guarding the heart. On the way back, he saw another meteorite incident. He also met a man offering treasures and said: "Next year, the ancestor dragon will die." 'This series of things made the First Emperor worried. When the new year came, he asked a fortune teller to divine the fortune, and the result was that the hexagram said: "Wandering and migrating will bring good luck." In order to avoid the foreseen "disaster", the First Emperor also wanted to ask about Xu Fu's situation again, and wanted to witness whether there was a magic of immortality in the world, so he also started the fifth grand tour in his life.

This year was October of the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and the emperor decided to tour the East again. He asked Prime Minister Li Si on the left to accompany him, while Prime Minister Feng Quji on the right stayed behind. At this time, the emperor's youngest son Hu Hai wanted to go on a trip with the chariot. Because the emperor liked him very much, he agreed to Hu Hai's request. And all this was arranged by Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC. He seemed to have smelled something unusual, so he arranged things perfectly. The emperor decided to leave Wuguan and head directly to the southeast, so he first arrived at Yunmengze, and then went south to climb Jiuyi Mountain to worship King Shun. Then go east along the river and climb Jishan and Keshan successively. Then we crossed Jiangzhu, passed Danyang, and arrived at Yangxian. Although it was close to Wu County, the capital of Kuaiji County, to the east, due to serious flooding, it was detoured south to Wu County.

When the car arrived in the city, it was already afternoon. The First Emperor was very tired, so he fell asleep sitting on the carriage. But because Zhao Gao was very vigilant, when they entered the city, in order to prevent accidents, Zhao Gao asked the soldiers to protect the car at the front, rear, left and right. The soldiers guarded the road around them bravely and proudly. When the people saw the shining swords, halberds, swords and shields, they knelt down and shouted long live the mountain. In the midst of the canopy of Luan and Phoenix that blocked the sky and the densely packed colorful flags, the supreme king sat in the car and took a nap. He had no idea that a catastrophe was about to come.

It turned out that among the bustling crowd, a pair of men, old and young, were also watching the driving. They were Xiang's uncle and nephew. When the car passed in front of the two men, Xiang Ji suddenly opened his eyes wide, pointed at the car with his hand, and said angrily: "I can replace him!" After that, he was ready to rush forward to kill the First Emperor. Xiang Liang was shocked and turned pale. He hurriedly grabbed Xiang Yu, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and then said in pain: "You don't want your life, this is going to destroy the family!" After saying that, he dragged him away from the people. Many places.

When they came to the hiding place, Xiang Liang said angrily: "Do you want to cause the disaster of annihilation? Thanks to people's voices covering up your words, otherwise we would be doomed!" But Xiang Ji said boldly: "Why don't you learn from this? Jing Ke? Kill him! Let me do it!" Xiang Liang said: "Don't show off your bravery and cause eternal hatred! I heard that ten years ago, a warrior named Zhang Liang and his companions also blocked Ying in Bolangsha. As a result, his companion was killed on the spot, and Zhang Liang's whereabouts are still unknown. Don't worry about temporary gains and losses, this matter still needs to consider a comprehensive strategy. As the saying goes: Everything will be successful if it is forewarned, and it will be ruined if it is not forewarned." Xiang Ji asked puzzledly: "Uncle, we have been hiding all day long in the past few months. Isn't it because of Ying Zheng? Now that he has come to your door, why not kill him? In this way, the hatred between the family and the country will be settled once and for all. !" After that, he went to kill the First Emperor.

Xiang Liang grabbed Xiang Ji and said angrily: "You foolish boy! You see he is surrounded by soldiers, how can you get close?" But Xiang Ji said fearlessly: "Uncle, my nephew regards his soldiers as grass. If I go up, they will be vulnerable. Let me go quickly, don't miss the opportunity?" Xiang Liang became anxious. He hugged Xiang Ji and said angrily: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan! Don't you kid? Listen to me, today you want to cause the disaster of extermination. Instead of dying meaninglessly, you might as well kill me first!" After saying that, he put Xiang Yu's hands on his neck and asked Xiang Yu to pinch him first. Kill him. Xiang Ji then retracted his hand, but he still said unconvinced: "I regard Ying Zheng's thousands of troops as nothing but grass!" Xiang Liang forcibly pulled him away from the busy city, and Xiang Liang escaped. , the First Emperor also escaped.

The First Emperor lived in the county and wanted to have a good rest, but he still had the matter of Yun Qi in his mind. The next day he summoned the doctors here and asked: "How are your usual inspections? I came here this time to solve the problem of Yun Qi. Things." The doctors replied: "I have been conducting long-term research on the strong dragon qi here, and found that Moling, Jiangcheng, Zhufang, Yunyang, Changshui and other places all have king qi, especially the qi between Moling and Jiangcheng. It is very prosperous. If there are strangers living here permanently, with the beautiful bells, graceful people, and outstanding people, I am afraid that the prosperity will last forever!" The First Emperor said: "What method will you use to cut off the prosperity here?" The doctors replied: "Your Majesty , you can dig out the earth veins at key points to release the energy." The First Emperor asked: "Will this method work?" The doctor said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if the energy is released, even if there are daring people in the future, The king and hegemony here can only be for a while, not for a lifetime, and his fortune will eventually dissipate." The First Emperor pondered for a moment, and then said: "You will investigate carefully, I will order the county governor to help you mobilize Xing Tu, if you can I am very relieved that all the earth veins have been dug out and the energy is strong." The doctors said in unison: "I respect the edict." The First Emperor then said to Yin Tong, the governor of the county, "You can immediately mobilize all the disciples in the county to go to Zhu Fang, Moling, Jiangcheng, Yunyang, and Changshui counties are at the disposal of the doctors. To the outside world, we only say that we are building roads and ditches, and we are not allowed to publicize other things." Yin Tong said yes repeatedly.

In the days that followed, the First Emperor sat in Wu County and personally supervised the doctors to cut off the earth line. Yin Tong followed the instructions of the doctors and sent 3,000 Xing disciples in Zhufang County to dig out the southern pit of Jingxian. He also renamed Zhufang Dantu, which means the hometown of Xing disciples wearing red prison uniforms; The straight road from Yunyang to Kuaiji County was changed into a winding road, and Yunyang was renamed Qu'a; tens of thousands of Xing disciples were also sent to Changshui County to dig deep into Lingdi, and the county was renamed Qiaoquan; the name of the county in Shengxian County was also changed Yanshan Mountain was also dug up, making it Yankeng Mountain. Finally, a large hole was cut into the Fangshan Mountain in the southeast of Jinling, and the long ridge was cut into two parts. It was renamed Moling, which means horse ranch, which belittles the beauty of Jinling. Although this pattern of Jinling was praised by Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms as "Zhongshan is like a dragon's plate, and the stone city is like a tiger perching", the Feng Shui has been destroyed, and even the Great Sage (the True Dragon Emperor) cannot suppress it because it has been broken in the Feng Shui. The dragon vein of Zuo Qinglong. Later historical facts also confirmed this: since 229 AD, there have been people from the Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, Southern Dynasties such as the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Southern Tang, Ming, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Republic of China. The capital was established, but it didn’t last long.
