The guards of Prince Gao had a fierce argument on Yuewang Mountain. Some people began to enumerate their merits and said how they worked hard in front of Gongzi Gao, so they had to do this errand by themselves.
Including the generals of the bodyguard army, they also expressed their willingness to be this messenger.
Young Master Gao and Shen Lun stood together, looking at the men fighting for each other, they couldn't help but care about each other and were speechless.
Everyone has suffered enough on Yuewang Mountain, and everyone wants to go to Kuaiji City to relax. The only people who knew why they came to Kuaiji Mountain were Gongzi Gao and Shen Lun, but they refused to tell the truth. After all... the reason couldn't be told. It would be too shameful to camp on a barren mountain because of fear of assassins.
The master and apprentice just looked at the generals silently, waiting for them to decide the winner and choose one person to deliver the message.
After a long time, Young Master Gao sighed quietly and said, "Master, I always feel that everything is different after meeting the Exalted Immortal."
Shen Lun said with deep approval: "Yes, in my teacher's eyes, the world's people are also more stupid."
Young Master Gao added: "Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to choose anyone for a while."
Shen Lun suddenly said quietly: "What would you do if you banished an immortal here?"
Young Master Gao racked his brains and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Disciple knows."
Then, he loudly said: "I have decided that the generals can use money to buy the post of messenger, and the one with the highest price will get it."
As soon as these words came out, the mountain suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Young Master Gao in surprise.
Shen Lun shook his head helplessly and said, "Master, you have really...learned the essence of banishing immortals."
Gongzi Gao's decision was a bit unexpected, but the effect was obvious. Soon, the post of messenger was auctioned off. Among these guards, the richest one was of course the general who commanded the troops. After he bought the post of messenger, he appointed two more close associates. Then we went down the mountain happily.
More than 10,000 yuan has been spent on purchasing the messenger. Compared with Shangjun Courtyard, this amount of money is definitely not much. But on Yuewang Mountain, it’s not that few.
Young Master Gao thought for a while and then said loudly: "You guys, you have traveled thousands of miles to follow me here, which shows your loyalty and bravery. With these ten thousand coins, I will reward all the soldiers."
The soldiers suddenly burst into cheers, and many of them shouted to swear allegiance to King Kuaiji to the death.
Shen Lun stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Young master is indeed a wise master. He didn't pay a penny, but in the blink of an eye, he earned a wave of gratitude."
Young Master Gao grinned at Shen Lun and said, "Master, I find that I have mastered the essence of banishing immortals."
Shen Lun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with emotion: "The membership that my teacher made for you at Shangjun Courtyard that day is not a loss..."
…………
In Kuaiji City, Xiang Liang, Ju Fu and others were sitting together, discussing how to continue deceiving several county magistrates and county guards. Try to occupy more territory before being discovered. In this way, once the flag is raised, Chu territory can be occupied with lightning speed.
Obtaining the Chu land is equivalent to acquiring half of the country in the south. Then he went north to defeat Han, Zhao and Wei, and then moved westward, breaking Hangu Pass and conquering Xianyang.
The more Xiang Liang thought about it, the more beautiful he became. He couldn't help but have his thoughts wandering around. He was already thinking about whether he should divide the six kingdoms after taking over the world, or change dynasties and become the emperor of Chu.
At this time, the giant man couldn't help but said: "General Xiang, General Xiang? Which city should we defraud next?"
When Xiang Liang came back to his senses, he realized that he only owned two counties, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, Xiang Liang is a person who does big things. He quickly cheered up and said, "Let's first..."
Just as he said this, a pawn came flying over from outside. When he entered the house, he tripped over the threshold. He fell to the ground, and the Chang Ge flew out from his hand, almost cutting off Xiang Liang's head.
Xiang Liang was furious and struck the case. The pawn was so frightened that he went out of his mind and confessed again and again.
Not far away, Xiang Yu was already holding a riding crop, planning to beat the pawn hard.
Xiang Liang suppressed his anger, waved his hand, and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, it was just an unintentional mistake."
Those who achieve great things must be magnanimous. Ever since Xiang Liang considered becoming the emperor, he felt that his whole person had begun to sublimate.
Ju Fu complimented from the side: "General Xiang is so considerate of the soldiers, it is really a blessing for us."
After hearing this compliment, Xiang Liang suddenly felt happy and smiled. The anger caused by the fright just now was gone.
So Xiang Liang asked the soldier, "Why are you so panicked?"
The soldier wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "A messenger has just arrived, reporting that Young Master Gao has arrived in Kuaiji County."
Xiang Liang was shocked: "So fast?"
He originally thought that Young Master Gao would be slow to arrive in Kuaiji for more than a month, but by then, he would be ready. Unexpectedly, the other party arrived suddenly, which caught people off guard.
Xiang Liang turned to the giant man and said, "Immediately organize people to welcome Young Master Gao into Kuaiji City. If you dare to leak the news, I will kill you."
The giant man shook his head quickly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
The soldier said again: "General, there is no need to welcome him. Young Master Gao led his entourage and settled down in Yuewang Mountain. Judging from his intention...it seems that he wants to build a royal palace in Yuewang Mountain. The messenger this time is just here to report a message. The villain sees that he has no intention of entering the city..."
Xiang Liang's head buzzed. Thousands of thoughts passed through me in an instant: He won't enter the city? Why didn't he enter the city? Could it be that he noticed something? If he notices it, how can I capture Chu Di quietly? So the great cause of resisting Qin was half failed first?
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang suddenly became furious. He turned to look at the pawn. The more he looked at him, the more hateful he became. He almost regarded the pawn as a young man.
Suddenly, Xiang Liang shouted: "How dare you assassinate me just now?"
Then, he kicked the pawn and beat him hard.
The giant man looked dumbfounded, and after a while he managed to say: "General Xiang, you are so powerful, you are... you are truly the God of War. We admire him so much."
A quarter of an hour later, the pawn was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and then he was kicked out by Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang broke out in sweat and calmed down. Then he said to Xiang Yu, "Yu'er, come, let's discuss what to do about this matter."
Xiang Yu responded and sat opposite Xiang Liang with Ju Fu.
Xiang Liang pondered for a long time and asked the two of them: "Do you think the news has been leaked?"
Jufu thought for a while and said cautiously: "I think it's not the case. Mr. Gao must have just arrived in Kuaiji. Where did he get the news? Even if someone snitched, how would he know where to look for Mr. Gao?"
Xiang Yu also nodded and said: "Yes. If Master Gao really received the news, why didn't he turn around and run away? Or hide. Now instead of sending a messenger to tell us his location, isn't this looking for death?"
Xiang Liang nodded in agreement: "So, does Young Master Gao not know the news? But if he didn't know, why did he leave Kuaiji City instead of coming to Yuewang Mountain? The scenery on the barren mountain , is it better than the bustling city?”
The giant man chuckled: "These powerful sons of Xianyang are all very weird. Maybe he has some quirks. Maybe... he is used to living in the north. After arriving in the south, he is afraid of the hot and humid climate and feels that the mountains It’s a bit cooler, I don’t know.”
Xiang Liang twirled his beard and thought for a while: "It is indeed difficult to guess the Qin people's thoughts, but we cannot take it lightly. He may have discovered it, or he may not have discovered it, so we must be prepared for both."
"Juhu, you have restrained the soldiers and civilians for the past few days, and everything is as usual, and you are not allowed to reveal the slightest suspicious sight. Yu'er, you secretly prepared a troop of soldiers and horses, lying dormant, just waiting for my order to defeat them immediately. The young master is tall."
Both Ju Fu and Xiang Yu nodded in agreement.
Xiang Liang stood up, walked back and forth in the room, and suddenly laughed.
The giant man asked curiously: "Why is the general laughing?"
Xiang Liang said: "I have a plan. In the name of your great husband, I will hold a banquet in the city and invite him, the king of Kuaiji, to come to the banquet. At the banquet, we will explore his true and false status. No...as long as he dares to come, I took him immediately. If he didn't dare to come, he was suspicious of the city, so we simply surrounded Yuewang Mountain. We stormed up and captured him."
Both Ju Fu and Xiang Yu nodded in agreement.
Xiang Liang gave some detailed instructions to Ju Fu, and then he and Xiang Yu pretended to be Ju Fu's followers, and the three of them went to see Gongzi Gao's messenger.
Mr. Gao's messenger is feasting and drinking in the mansion. These people devoured everything, whether it was meat or vegetables.
The giant man looked dumbfounded and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't been to Xianyang City in a few years. Is there... a famine in Xianyang?"
Xiang Liang sneered in his heart: "These people look poor. How can they stop my Xiang family's army?"
The three messengers were very satisfied with their meal. On Yuewang Mountain, although there was plenty of food and grass, the taste was really unflattering. Unlike now, there is wine and meat. This ten thousand dollars was well spent.
After these three people finished eating, the giant man walked over with a smile and said, "You three, King Kuaiji is so good."
The three men wiped their mouths and said, "Everything is well, Your Majesty."
The giant man smiled again and asked: "Then why don't you come to Kuaiji City, Your Majesty?"
As soon as these words came out, the three people seemed to have been touched by something sad, and they started to talk and complain.
At first, Ju Fu and Xiang Liang were still full of expectations, hoping to find out some inside information. But from what I heard, these people were just describing how boring and desolate the King of Yue was.
As for the reason why Gongzi Gao was stationed at Yuewang Mountain, they couldn't tell. It's just related to the banishment of immortals.
Xiang Liang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard that this matter was related to Huaiguzi. He suddenly realized that he had sent a shit-stirring stick to the Xianyang sect. Why was he always going against himself?
The giant man followed the original plan and said to the three people with a smile: "I am the governor of Kuaiji County. I should have gone to Yuewang Mountain to pay homage to the King of Kuaiji in person. However, Yuewang Mountain is too steep and I am old, so I may not be able to climb it. Go up. So I dare to invite the King of Kuaiji to come to the city for a chat and a drink. I don’t know if it’s okay.”
When the three messengers heard this, they were overjoyed.
If a county guard persuaded Young Master Gao, he might have listened and come down from Yuewang Mountain, which would have saved the lives of all the soldiers.
So the messenger nodded repeatedly and agreed to deliver the message.
Xiang Liang was so impatient that he prepared fast horses for the three of them and asked them to return to Yuewang Mountain immediately.
The three messengers left, and Xiang Liang and others were sharpening their knives in the city. While the banquet was being prepared, sword and ax hands were arranged.
…………
On Yuewang Mountain, Shen Lun and Master Gao were sitting in a temporary hut. The two of them were playing chess again. After all, there was nothing else to do except play chess in this damn place.
Young Master Gao suddenly sighed quietly and said to Shen Lun: "Master, we are safe at Yuewang Mountain now, but if things go on like this, there is something wrong. Firstly, there is not enough food and grass. Secondly, the mountain is really rough."
Shen Lun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Wang Jian and Wang Heng have already said that the Xiang family wants to rebel. Just wait for the exact news to be sent to Xianyang, and the anti-rebellion army will come. By then, we can calmly go down the mountain. "
Young Master Gao said: "What if the Xiang family doesn't rebel? Is this just Wang's nonsense?"
Shen Lun said: "It would be better if the Xiang family doesn't rebel. When the food is exhausted, we will go down the mountain."
Young Master Gao sighed: "The land of Chu is obviously not stable, but my father sent me to be the king. Isn't this harming me?"
Shen Lun was suddenly startled, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Young Master. Who is the prince whom Your Majesty values the most?"
Young Master Gao said: "Of course it's Fu Yao and Fu Su?"
Shen Lun said again: "What about the third one?"
Young Master Gao pondered for a while: "Hu Hai?"
Shen Lun smiled: "Master, who do you think is more favored by His Majesty, you or Hu Hai?"
Young Master Gao smiled bitterly: "We are neither the eldest son nor the youngest son. My father has never cared much. Whether he likes me or Hu Hai, I really don't know."
Shen Lun said: "Your Majesty has a profound meaning in sending the young master here. I am afraid that your majesty thinks that the young master is the more capable one among the princes, so he ordered you to come to this complicated Chu land. If it were not for the prince, Your Majesty is not at ease when you come in person. If you handle things properly in Chu, it will definitely be a great achievement."
Young Master Gao's eyes lit up: "You mean, my father values me? If I perform meritorious service, will I be recalled to Xianyang?"
Shen Lun said: "I dare not guarantee whether I can return to Xianyang. But with such merit, the young master will definitely be rewarded."
These words made Young Master Gao happy for a dozen breaths, and then his mood dropped again: "What about rewards? Let's save our lives first."
Shen Lun nodded.
Just as the two were talking about this, a soldier ran up panting and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the messenger is back..."
I was a magician in the Qin Dynasty
