Huaiguzi is coming, and he can finally take revenge. Xiang Yu and others were all excited. They were so excited that they couldn't wait any longer.
This made Wang Laoshi and others a little puzzled. Why are these people so eager to see the banished immortal? He is simply more anxious than the craftsman who worships the banished immortals the most.
But Wang Laoshi didn't think much about it. He thought Xiang Yu was just a poor man, and now he finally had a chance to make progress, so he was extremely excited.
Xiang Yu and his companions planned for many times, and finally felt that they should not rush the assassination of Huaiguzi. They had long heard that Huaiguzi was extremely afraid of death, and he was always surrounded by highly skilled guards.
Therefore, Xiang Yu must break into Shang Jun's courtyard and conduct a thorough investigation before taking action. He must not be reckless and kill people on sight. If it fails, Huaiguzi will definitely be more vigilant, and I'm afraid there will be no chance again.
After making up their minds, Xiang Yu and the Xiang family's children kept smiling honestly. But they laughed for several hours, and Huaiguzi never entered the city.
Finally, Xiang Yu couldn't bear it any longer. He found Wang Laoshi and asked, "Why hasn't the banished immortal come yet?"
Wang Laoshi was also a little puzzled and muttered: "It's weird, we should have arrived. When we received the news, the banished immortal was only ten miles away from Xianyang City. It has been two hours now, and we should have entered the city anyway. .”
Xiang Yu and others looked at each other and could only wait patiently. It was not easy to put on a simple and honest smile, their faces were a little stiff.

"Sir, are we walking a little too slowly?" A craftsman said to Li Shui cautiously.
Li Shui sat on the horse and was about to fall asleep. He said calmly: "Slow down? I think it's okay."
Takuto laughed dryly and stopped talking. Now the entire army's marching speed is simply slower than walking.
Li Xin was a little impatient next to him and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, this horse of mine is a thousand-mile horse. It can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. Now that I have been walking with you for several hours, the horse is almost exhausted." .What the hell are you doing?"
Li Shui pointed to Xianyang City not far away and said with a smile: "Brother Li, His Majesty has ordered that you and I can enter the palace at starry night when we return to the court."
Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes. Your Majesty has great trust in you and me. Not only can you enter the city at night, but you can also enter the palace at night."
Li Shui added: "In order to show respect for His Majesty, you and I need to enter the palace first and then go home, right?"
Li Xin stared and said, "Yes, is there a problem with this?"
Li Shui said: "The problem is that if we march at a normal speed, we will enter the palace at night. First, it will wake up His Majesty and affect his rest. Secondly... everyone in Xianyang City is asleep, who can Do you know our great achievements?"
Li Xin was stunned: "Can it still be like this?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "So, let's walk slower. Walking faster is marching, walking slower is also marching. After a while, we will set up a temporary tent and spend an hour to bathe, change clothes, and eat something. Then continue walking. It would be best to enter Xianyang City after the sky is bright."
"I calculated with my fingers that after dawn, it will be the time for the court meeting. By then, all the civil and military officials of the court will be there. If we walk in with dignity, won't we shock everyone?"
Li Xin was stunned for a long time, then gave Li Shui a thumbs up: "High, really high."
Suddenly, Li Xin chuckled: "I want to pay homage to my sister again."
Li Shui rolled his eyes helplessly: In order to compete with Chunyu Yue, this guy has paid homage more than a dozen times in a year. It is estimated that Chunyu Yue is not annoyed, and his sister is already annoyed.
Banished Immortal's words quickly spread throughout the team, and the one hundred craftsmen whispered among themselves, admiring Banished Immortal's wisdom.
Young Master Gao and Shen Lun, who were guarded in the middle, looked even more impressed.
This time, it was Li Shui who took the initiative and brought Young Master Gao back. The reason was that he was required to report Xiang Liang's rebellion in person to His Majesty.
Young Master Gao knew that as a prince who had been enfeoffed, there were very few opportunities to return to the capital. This time, Li Shui helped him win the opportunity to come back to visit his relatives, which was equivalent to a new life. Therefore, every time he saw Li Shui's back, he shed tears of gratitude...
Shen Lun said to Young Master Gao: "The wisdom of banishing the immortals, taking the sword in an unexpected direction, and surprising him are astonishing."
The young master nodded in agreement.
A quarter of an hour later, the entire army took a break and buried pots to make rice. Li Shui, Li Xin, King Kuaiji, Shen Lun, and others who were going to the palace to meet Ying Zheng all took a bath and changed into clean clothes.
In this team, there is also an uneasy fat man: Jufu.
The giant husband was brought as a prisoner from a thousand miles away. Along the way, he was terrified. As long as he closed his eyes, it would be His Majesty's punishment for him.
Therefore, Jufu put all his thoughts on writing a biography for Li Shui, trying his best to portray Li Shui as very brave, how to defeat more with less, and how to surround Wei and save Zhao. It's just shameless flattery.
Now that the whole army has stopped, Li Shui and Li Xin take a shower and change clothes. Jufu also wants to wash up. After all, he is a county guard. His Majesty needs to decide how to deal with it after committing a crime. He should be brought into the palace.
But some of the craftsmen brought by Li Shui looked down upon this thief, so no one wanted to talk to him, let alone boil hot water.
Finally, the giant man walked to a small river and stretched out his hand to test the water. He shivered from the cold.
But remembering that he had to go to the palace to meet his master, he gritted his teeth and entered the river, holding back his breath and washing himself back and forth. When he climbed up again, he was shivering with cold and almost fainted.
After finally putting on their clothes, Li Shui and Li Xin were already setting off. The giant man followed behind wetly, looking like a water ghost.
As the sun rose in the east, Li Shui and Li Xin finally arrived outside Xianyang City.
The city gate opened wide, and this group of people entered Xianyang City with their heads held high.
The sunlight shone on their armor and weapons. Li Shui and Li Xin walking in the front were like gods of war. The more than a hundred craftsmen following behind were like heavenly soldiers and generals.
When the people of Xianyang City saw this scene, they were a little surprised: Is this the soldier who went deep into the country alone and rescued the King of Kuaiji thousands of miles away? He is indeed one of the best soldiers and generals in a million.
When they passed the Exorcist Tower, the craftsmen arranged by Wang Laoshi rushed out immediately and shouted to the team: "The God of War excommunicated the immortal, and returned to the court in victory. The God of War expelled the immortal, and returned to the court in victory."
Li Shui waved his hand modestly: "It's too ostentatious."
Li Xin looked depressed: God of War banished to immortality? Why doesn't this guy blush?
…………
In the political hall, Ying Zheng and the courtiers were discussing matters. Today, both the emperor and the officials are a little distracted. Because I received news yesterday that Huaiguzi and Li Shui were going back to Xianyang. Why is there no news yet?
Ying Zheng thought to himself: Could it be that Huai Guzi has some weird ideas?
But Chunyu Yue thought: Li Xin came back safely and made great achievements. It’s not easy. It seems that my usual teachings to him are working.
Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other, both a little disappointed. Huaiguzi, it seems a little early to come back.
They took advantage of Li Shui's absence in Xianyang City and became Fu Yao's temporary teacher, hoping to snatch Fu Yao this time. But once the professor discovered that Fu Yao looked young, he was very independent and difficult to be brainwashed by two people.
Now that Huaiguzi has returned in time, their plot has completely failed. I just want... I just want to get a good reputation with Fu Yao.
At this time, a young eunuch hurriedly walked in and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news. General Li Xin, together with the banished immortal, went deep into the Chu territory alone to rescue the King of Kuaiji."
Ying Zheng was a little helpless: "I already knew these good news."
The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Now, Li Xin and the banished immortal have returned to the court and are waiting at the palace gate."
Ying Zheng was slightly surprised and immediately said: "Please come quickly."
The young eunuch agreed, turned around and went out to deliver the order.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Xin and Li Shui entered the political hall together.
When the officials saw the two of them, they all curled their lips: These shameless people.
The two of them had washed themselves, and this could be seen at a glance.
That's okay, the key is that on Li Xin's shirt, there are four big characters written: Chu Ren Gong.
Li Shui's shirt also had four big characters written on it: Great Qin God of War.
When Ying Zheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh: "What are you..."
Li Xin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not boast. These four words were written on my shirt by the people of Chu."
These words were indeed written by the people of Chu. It was on that day that after Li Shui pretended to be a thief and Li Xin pretended to be an officer and soldier, and severely cheated Song Liu, Song Liu burst into tears of gratitude to Li Xin and wrote it on his jersey.
After hearing Li Xin's words, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you led troops into Chu and quelled the war, which won the hearts of the people."
Li Xin said: "Yes. Your Majesty rules the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Who doesn't want to live a good life? Xiang Liang rebelled, and the sky is angry and people are resentful. Everyone longs for Master Wang and wants to see through it."
Yingzheng Longyan was delighted and said to Li Xin: "Three thousand lonely troops pacified Chu. You have made outstanding contributions. Li Xin is truly the pillar of my great Qin Dynasty."
After praising him, Ying Zheng gave him tens of thousands of gold and thousands of hectares of fertile land.
The courtiers were all envious, and the reward was secondary. The most important thing was this favor. Li Xin was already deeply trusted, and this time he made immortal achievements and became even more popular around Ying Zheng.
After rewarding Li Xin, Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and asked with a smile: "Were the four characters on your shirt written by the people of Chu?"
The courtiers all snickered.
Anyone with a normal IQ probably knows that Li Shui does have some evil ideas, but he doesn't know how to lead troops in war. They speculated that the word "God of War" was probably written by Li Shui himself because of his own boasting. Anyway, this guy is so shameless, what can't he do?
Li Shui looked at everyone's expressions, bowed to Ying Zheng solemnly, and then said: "Did these four words be written by the military officers?"
Ying Zheng blurted out: "Seriously?"
The civil and military officials in the court also stretched their necks and waited, obviously not believing it.
Li Shuihuan did not change his expression and pointed to Li Xin next to him: "General Li, you can testify."
Li Xin nodded helplessly: "It was indeed written by the soldiers. They are just the guards of King Kuaiji, not the three thousand people led by me."
When Li Xin said this, his heart ached. He always believed that these four words should belong to him. Now he actually wants to give it to Li Shui on the spot. For some reason, Li Xin always feels like his beloved wife has been taken away and he has been cuckolded.
Chun Yuyue's eyes lingered on the two of them for a while, and then he suddenly said: "Recently, many people in Xianyang City are touting the banished immortals, saying that they are both civil and military. Could it be that the banished immortals really know how to lead troops to fight?"
Some generals even asked with a smile: "How does the banished immortal arrange his troops? How does he escort the food and grass? How does he detect the enemy's situation? Can you teach him?"
Li Shui said calmly: "Arrangement of troops can be done with just one general. Escorting food and grass is a matter within the military's scope. As for detecting the enemy's situation, all those detailed officers are well aware of it. These are not the responsibility of the commander of an army. Things. Even if you understand these things, you won’t be able to become the Great Qin God of War.”
The generals asked unconvincedly: "Then how can I become the Great Qin God of War?"
Li Shui said calmly: "God of War, strategize and win thousands of miles away. Just like a clever chess player, he jumps out of the chess game and calmly lays out his plans. While talking and laughing, the rebels are wiped out. It seems that you are charging into the battle, and you are brave when you are brave, but you can be a general. You can’t be handsome.”
Those generals were deep in thought.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Li Shui may not be as good as Li Xin in terms of personal force. But as Li Shui said, being the head coach of an army requires not personal bravery, but an overall view of the situation. This mentality seems to be exactly what is needed to govern the world.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: It is most suitable for this person to be Fu Yao's master.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui's shirt, smiled slightly, and thought: Of course, it would be better if this person could have a thinner face. Even if these four words, the God of War of the Qin Dynasty, were given by a general in the army, it was really...
For Li Shui, Ying Zheng also rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold and thousands of hectares of fertile land.
After the reward was given, Ying Zheng seemed to still have some unfinished ideas. He ordered the young eunuch to lay out the paper with ink and write the words "both civil and military" and handed it to Li Shui.
Li Shui held a four-letter word in his hand and walked around the government hall very coquettishly, making all the courtiers look at it.
Those courtiers looked at the sky, somewhat helpless: Why...why does this shameless person always have such good luck?
After walking around, the ink had dried, and Li Shui carefully put away the calligraphy.
Then, he bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought back King General Ji."
As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly became hot.
This son was besieged on Yuewang Mountain for more than ten days and fell into desperate situations several times. How could he not be worried? Deep down, Ying Zheng really wanted to see him.
But before he could speak, a courtier stood up and said, "Huaiguzi, whether the vassal king enters Xianyang or not, he must obey the emperor's order. You have made your own decision, which is really arrogance."
Li Shui turned around and saw that the person who said this was Wang Wan.
Li Shui was a little puzzled: "This good old man never expresses his opinions. Why can't he help himself today?"
I was a magician in the Qin Dynasty
