The magistrate of Shuangshe County persuaded Xiang Yu and his entourage to come to the city. c八 c八 cRead c book,.■.o↑
The old man next to Xiang Yu whispered: "Little General, I'm afraid this county magistrate has no good intentions."
Xiang Yu was slightly startled: "What? We have five hundred men and horses, and one of them is as good as ten. How dare he act rashly?"
The old man said: "He shouldn't use force. I'm just afraid that he will investigate us secretly. If any clues are found, it will be detrimental to us."
Xiang Yu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my uncle has already arranged it. Do you think the name Chu Yu was given casually? In the past, there was indeed a general named Chu who followed my ancestors in the north and south. After the demise of Chu, He has always regarded me as the head of the Xiang family. My name, Chu Yu, is on their family tree. If the county magistrate likes to investigate, then let him investigate."
After hearing this, the old man nodded with relief.
Chu Land has always been restless. The imperial government's rule here is the weakest. Many places are full of bad debts. If the county magistrate wants to find out something, there will definitely be a lot of resistance.
After the group arrived in the city, the county magistrate held a banquet and looked very enthusiastic. During the banquet, the county magistrate also asked Xiang Yu about his origins. Xiang Yu followed Xiang Liang's instructions in advance and told them one by one.
The county magistrate seemed careless, but actually winked at the confidant serving beside him, and the man ran away quickly, probably to check.
The county magistrate drank a glass of wine, and then said to Xiang Yu: "Little hero, I admire you very much for your ability to eliminate violence and be a good person. But... you also know that hiding weapons secretly is a serious matter."
Xiang Yu immediately said: "The weapons used by my men were all taken from thieves."
The county magistrate was silent for two seconds, and then said: "How can this thief have a weapon? Your Majesty has already gathered all the soldiers in the world and cast them into golden men."
Xiang Yu said calmly: "I don't know about that. Maybe they were beaten with hoes, or maybe they were snatched from the hands of officers and soldiers. If you want to know, you have to ask the thieves, and you shouldn't ask me."
The county magistrate chuckled: "The little hero led five hundred people at lightning speed. He never left anyone alive wherever he went. Even if I wanted to ask, I couldn't find out."
Xiang Yu smiled slightly and said, "I made a mistake. I will apologize to you. Next time, try to be clumsy and stay alive."
The county magistrate frowned slightly. Xiang Yu was young and his words were thorny.
He stroked his beard and said: "Not to mention the weapons, just the men and horses under the little hero. Five hundred people are still quite a force. I'm afraid this will make people who are interested feel uncomfortable."
Xiang Yu asked in confusion: "Anyone interested?"
The county magistrate whispered: "Of course I can trust the little hero, but what about others? What will they think if you take these five hundred people to conquer this country? If they think you have disobedience, I'm afraid this will Cause trouble."
Xiang Yu said: "In my Chu family, more than a dozen of my family members were killed by thieves. I gathered all the men from the clan and went around killing the thieves. My only purpose is to take revenge."
The county magistrate said earnestly: "To take revenge, naturally there is a court and an official. How can you take revenge privately?"
Xiang Yu chuckled: "If you can get revenge by relying on the imperial court, why should I go through life and death?"
The county magistrate was a little unhappy. He felt that this boy was young and his words were very disturbing.
The land of Chu was not at peace, and no one obeyed the imperial decrees outside the city. 〖∈八〖∈八〖∈Read〖∈Book,.2∞3.↓oThose high-ranking families often raise some children as defense to guard their houses and villages. He knows this.
To be on guard against thieves, it is understandable that if you turn a blind eye, you will be fine. But it is unique for someone like Xiang Yu to take the initiative to cause trouble for thieves.
The county magistrate said calmly: "Little hero, you have killed a lot of thieves, and your hard work has been great. I will mark your merits. But you led five hundred people through the city like this, and you have done it. Listen to my advice and go ahead. How about sending five hundred people back to their hometowns?"
Xiang Yu readily agreed.
The reason why he agreed so readily was because he had no intention of abiding by it. In his opinion, these county magistrates from Qin were just lackeys of the Ying family.
There is no chaos in Xianyang City now, so he will not fall out with these lackeys. As long as there is a change in the world, these people will be the first to be killed. Therefore, Xiang Yu looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart.
He has agreed now, but as long as he leaves the city, he will still do whatever he has to do. If the county magistrate has the ability, he will go to the Chu family to raise an army to investigate the crime. That was Xiang Liang's base camp, so there was naturally a way to protect the Chu family.
Xiang Yu was just thinking about this when suddenly a Yamen servant hurried in and whispered a few words into the county magistrate's ear.
After hearing this, the county magistrate raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, please invite him in quickly."
The county magistrate smiled at Xiang Yu and said, "Little hero, many people already know about your righteous deeds. Now there is a big businessman who wants to come and thank you."
Not long after, a fat-headed man came up holding an exquisite box.
He first bowed to the county magistrate, then opened the box and revealed the twelve night pearls inside.
The night pearl was divided into two parts, one was given to the county magistrate, and the other was given to Xiang Yu.
It was not surprising that there were so many people attending the ceremony. Xiang Yu and the county magistrate were all smiling. The atmosphere at the banquet was very relaxed and pleasant.
The merchant said to Xiang Yu with a look of emotion: "I have been traveling between Kuaiji and Xianyang, selling goods and supporting my family. But recently, there have been more and more thieves in the Chu region, and the journey is difficult and dangerous. Every journey is far. Okay, the villain is terrified, fearing that he will lose his life at some point."
"But in the past few days, a young general named Chu Yu suddenly appeared in Chu land. The thieves he killed were frightened by the news. Now the road is much smoother. I am really grateful."
What the merchant said was sincere, and Xiang Yu nodded with pride.
Suddenly, he looked at the merchant's face and asked with some confusion: "You look familiar."
The merchant immediately said: "The little hero and noble man forget things. Not long ago, we met once. At that time, I was selling treasures and happened to go to the little general's house. It's just that the villain didn't talk to the little hero at that time. "
Xiang Yu was shocked: "This person has been to my house? Then he knows that I am Xiang?"
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but touch the sword at his waist, and his whole body became murderous.
The merchant seemed to feel Xiang Yu's murderous intention. He smiled slightly and said, "Little hero, don't you recognize me?"
Xiang Yu said coldly: "I can't remember it for a while."
The merchant said: "The villain's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Jia."
This name immediately made Xiang Yu tremble: Isn't this the housekeeper of Wang Heng's house?
Wang Jia said with a smile: "The villain's ancestors are from Xianyang, does the little hero remember?"
Xiang Yu took a closer look and suddenly realized that, yes, this person was Wang Jia, the steward of the Wang family's house. Wang Heng once brought him to find Xiang Liang. Xiang Yu met once when several people were discussing matters.
The county magistrate said with a smile: "It turns out we are old friends, so we should have a drink."
Wang Jia did not dare to sit down, so he stood and had a drink, and then said to Xiang Yu with a smile: "We admire the little hero for fighting thieves. But the villain also knows that the court does not allow people to use weapons without authorization. Therefore... villain Advise the little hero to take the people back. Of course, there will be someone to take care of those thieves."
The county magistrate listened and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I think so too. The Chu land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is indeed a bit chaotic, but little hero, if you use your weapons rashly, won't you be harming yourself?"
Xiang Yu felt a little blocked, but he didn't say anything. He just took a sip of wine in silence.
After the banquet, Xiang Yu obediently handed over the weapon to the county magistrate, and then rushed back to Kuaiji with 500 people.
The five hundred people went to Chu's home as planned. Xiang Yu secretly returned to Xiang's mansion.
He met Xiang Liang for the first time.
Xiang Liang was a little surprised when he saw Xiang Yu and asked, "Why are you back so early?"
Xiang Yu said: "There is an accident."
Xiang Liang's expression tightened: "What accident?"
Xiang Yu took out the medal.
Xiang Liang looked at it and sneered: "What is this? It's just Huaiguzi's trick. We Chu people are all loyal people. This thing cannot win people's hearts."
Xiang Yu said: "Besides, I met Wang Jia."
Xiang Liang asked absently: "Which Wang Jia?"
Xiang Yu said: "Wang, the steward of Wang Jian and Wang Heng's family, Wang Jia."
When Xiang Liang heard this, he stood up immediately: "Where did you see him?"
Xiang Yu said: "It's in Shuangshe City, in the county magistrate's office. This person even recognized me."
Xiang Liang's eyes widened: "What relationship does he... have with the Shuangshe County Magistrate?"
Xiang Yu said: "According to my observation, the two have nothing to do with each other. However, when Wang Jia went to Shuangshe County, he must have come for us."
Later, Xiang Yu told what happened exactly as it happened.
After Xiang Liang heard this, he sneered: "This is the Wang family urging us to raise troops. Those thieves outside are all using our banner. It is probably the Wang family who is causing trouble. And when we destroy the thieves, the Wang family cannot sit still. ”
"They sent Wang Jia here to threaten us. If we don't have troops again, they may have to kill us and take us out. Wang, you know some details about us. Even if we can leave safely, our strength will be compromised. some losses.”
Xiang Yu asked: "If you tell us, won't the Wang family be implicated?"
Xiang Liang shook his head slowly: "It's difficult. Wang Heng is a young man, but he is very cunning. Although he gave us a lot of gold, silver, money and food, he did it all in secret, and he used merchants' money. Identity. Even if you want to check, there is no way to check."
"What's more, everyone in the world doesn't know that our Xiang family has a blood feud with the Wang family. Ying Zheng wouldn't believe us when we said we received funding from the Wang family. Instead, he thought we were using counter-intuitive tactics. By then, it would be counterproductive. , it will make him trust Wang more."
Xiang Yu asked: "Then what should we do?"
Xiang Liang breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's all, we have been preparing for so long, it's time to raise troops."
Xiang Yu frowned: "Is it too hasty to raise troops now? What are the chances of winning?"
Xiang Liang chuckled: "It's rushed, it's indeed a bit rushed. But it's enough to raise an army. The key is that the arrow is on the string and it has to be fired."
"Unexpectedly, my Xiang family was forced to raise an army by the Wang family. It's true."
Xiang Yu looked at the medals on the cases and listened to Xiang Liang's words, and felt more and more that things in this world were too weird.
…………
Xianyang City. Young Master Gao Zheng was hiding in the room. Howling.
His master, Shen Lun, knelt beside him and looked at him helplessly.
Shen Lun believed in Legalism, but unfortunately he advocated Machiavellian tactics, which was not the same thing as Li Si's. Therefore, he had no foundation in the court, and in the end he reluctantly became the master of Gongzi Gao.
Shen Lun was not considered an important minister in the court, nor was he considered a low-ranking official. Those who remain invisible all day long belong to a group of people who have no sense of existence.
I just didn't expect that this time His Majesty's title of king would actually make him feel his presence.
The young master was high and was named King of Kuaiji. As the master of Prince Gao, Shen Lun will also go with him to serve as the prime minister of the kingdom.
Chu land is not peaceful, and Kuaiji is especially not peaceful.
How many powerful people from Chu State are entrenched there, ready to make a move. What's more, a few months ago, Wang Heng once said that the Chu people showed signs of rebellion.
If he really followed Mr. Gao to Kuaiji, would he still be able to come back?
At this time, Young Master Gao raised his head with tears on his face and looked at Shen Lun: "Master, what can I do?"
Mr. Gao doesn’t want to go either. The most popular sentence today is: If I had known this, I shouldn't have been born into an emperor's family.
Shen Lun himself was also scared, but he had to bite the bullet and comfort Young Master Gao: "Don't worry, Young Master, since Your Majesty has sealed the Young Master to Kuaiji, he will definitely protect the Young Master properly and there will definitely be no danger. If the Young Master dies, how will the court be embarrassed?" Save? Don’t worry.”
Young Master Gao listened to the advice, and his crying gradually became quieter. However, he still sobbed and said: "However, I am still very worried."
Shen Lun paced back and forth in the room. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Sir, I think of a person. It might be helpful for us to make friends with him."
Young Master Gao asked: "Who is it?"
Shen Lun said: "Relegated immortal, Huai Guzi."
When Young Master Gaoyi heard this, he quickly shook his head: "Everyone says that banishing an immortal is shameless. All decent people are avoiding him."
Shen Lun said: "Young master, you don't know something. Now Dr. Chunyu Yue, Prime Minister Wang Wan, Tingwei Li Si, and Internal Secretary Zhao Teng have all become Huaiguzi's best friends."
Young Master Gao's eyes widened: "Oh, so all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are all from Huaiguzi?"
Shen Lun coughed dryly: "Of course, there are truths and lies among them. Some are fake friendships, and some are lies. It's hard to tell the truth from the lies, and it's very confusing. But there must be truth in it. In short, the gentlemen in the court are not Do you mind associating with the banished immortal?"
Young Master Gao nodded and asked, "Why do we want to associate with the banished immortal?"
Shen Lun said: "Young Master, have you forgotten? The banished immortal is from the Chu land. The young master is going to be the king of Kuaiji. If he can get the help of the banished immortal, with his talent, everything will be smooth sailing." 11 Baidu "I Read the latest chapters of "Becoming a God and a Hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
