Li Shui's carriage was not fast, it could even be said to be very slow. If it were a normal person, he would have caught up a long time ago. But the giant man was too fat and couldn't run fast, so he chased him further and further along the way.
Jufu followed Li Shui's carriage from a distance from Shangjun Courtyard to the Exorcist Tower. Finally, when the carriage stopped, Jufu rushed over sweating profusely.
Seeing that Li Shui was about to enter the building, the giant man was afraid that he would ask for the ticket money again, so he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master Banished Immortal."
Li Shui was startled, turned around and saw the giant man moving over, and said in surprise: "Where did you come from?"
The giant man's face was red as he ran, and he panted and said: "Exiled Immortal, I... I sincerely join the Exalted Immortal's sect."
Li Shui snorted and said casually: "Then come with me to the banquet."
When the giant man heard this, he was surprised and happy, and quickly followed him.
The guys at the Banished Immortal Tower did not stop Ju Fu, which made Ju Fu flattered.
After he went in, Wang Laoshi came out and said to the giant husband: "You go to the back to wash up first. After you wash up, I will lead you to the table."
After hearing this, the giant man was moved to tears and saluted repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Wang Laoshi looked at him in confusion and thought: I just remind you to wash up, isn't that all?
But he didn't know how much Ju Fu suffered at Niu Calf. Comparing this, Wang Laoshi was simply a good man.
After the giant man had washed up and finally sat down at the table, he found that the banquet had already begun and everyone was talking to Li Shui.
What they were talking about was nothing more than what happened in Chudi.
Everyone seemed happy, except Li Xin, who was beside Li Shui. He was a little depressed: You really believe in spreading beans and making soldiers, and spreading clouds and rain?
Suddenly, Li Xin had a feeling that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
Sitting at the end of the table, Jufu felt itchy and unbearable. He bravely stood up and said, "I was originally the governor of Kuaiji County. I know a little about what happened when the immortals were banished in Chu."
As soon as these words came out, the banquet suddenly became quiet. Almost everyone looked at the giant man curiously, and a few even whispered: "I spent 500 yuan to see him yesterday."
The giant man cleared his throat: "Based on the deeds of the banished immortal in Chu, I wrote a journey to the south, describing the achievements of the banished immortal. If you don't mind it, I would like to read a passage."
Everyone clapped and applauded.
They have heard the recent story about banishing immortals and annihilating Xiang Liang many times, so it would be nice to have fresh material now, just treat it as a fan.
The giant man took out a stack of paper from his arms and began to read. The content here is all about exalting immortals, how to use soldiers like gods, how to defeat more with less.
Li Shui shook his head modestly: "How can this happen?"
Li Xin was very depressed: What is this? With a wave of the Exalted Immortal sword, more than twenty heads fell to the ground? Damn it, you are telling lies with your eyes open.
However, Li Xin did not refute Ju Fu. After all, Ju Fu's account was much more reliable than banishing the immortal and destroying Xiang Liang. Although it is still close to nonsense. But fortunately, it didn't turn into an enemy, at least it was within the fighting range of mortals.
The giant man was shamelessly reading halfway when suddenly Wei Zhang stood up and said: "You are not allowed to slander the immortal."
The giant man was stunned and nervously checked his manuscript: "Have I slandered the immortal? When did I slander the immortal?"
Someone stood up and said loudly: "The magic of banishing immortals is so powerful, do you need swords, guns, swords and halberds? You are obviously talking nonsense."
Some people even got so excited that they rushed up and punched the giant man twice.
Li Shui said to Li Xin with some depression: "Brother Li, some people have been saying that I am shameless recently. But look, I obviously didn't do anything. I am very wronged."
Li Xin sighed: "I've obviously done everything, but why do I become a foil in this book? I'm also very depressed."
Li Shui picked up the wine glass: "It seems that you and I are in the same boat, so we should drink from this glass."
Li Xin rolled his eyes and said disgustedly: "Who shares the same problem with you? I am a shameless person."
Li Shui became even more depressed: "Does even a shameless person like you dislike me?"

In the back alley of Banxian Tower, Xiang Yu and his group were carrying goods. Suddenly, a descendant of the Xiang family ran over and said nervously: "General Yu, that giant man has taken refuge in Huaiguzi."
When Xiang Yu heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. Jufu, he recognized Xiang Yu. If Jufu really took refuge in Huaiguzi and stayed in Shangjun Courtyard day and night, how could the Xiang family's children sneak in? How to kill Huaiguzi?
Xiang Yu frowned and was thinking about countermeasures. The descendant of the Xiang family whispered again: "General Yu Wuyou, I heard Huai Guzi say during the banquet that he has recommended Ju Fu to Fu Yao and will follow Fu Yao to take up his post in Beidi County. I think that in three or two days, He left Xianyang. By then, it will be fine for us to enter Shangjun's Villa again."
Xiang Yu nodded and suddenly smiled: "I have a better plan."
The Xiang family's children all gathered around and asked, "What's the plan?"
Xiang Yu said in a low voice: "This man, Ju Fu, is the least courageous. In the past, my uncle just used a knife and put it on his neck, and he surrendered to us. Now, we might as well do the same thing."
The Xiang family members all fell into deep thought, and then asked hesitantly: "General Yu, do you mean that we threaten him again?"
Xiang Yu nodded: "At three o'clock tonight, we sneaked into the giant man's bedroom and put the knife on his neck. This time, he is afraid and will probably cooperate with us. In that case, maybe we can make him He got rid of Fu Yao."
The descendants of the Xiang family became excited: "If Fu Yao dies, the people of Qin will be in chaos."
Xiang Yu smiled and nodded.
A descendant of the Xiang family said: "However, assassinating Fu Yao is a big deal. I'm afraid Jufu doesn't have the courage. Now that he is staying with Fu Yao, he already has fame and wealth, and he may not be willing to kill him. Fu Yao."
Xiang Yu thought for a while and said: "This is simple. He doesn't need to do it himself. He only needs to help secretly and provide us with Fu Yao's whereabouts. As long as he is willing to cooperate in the first step, we will have a handle on him. On the one hand, he can provide his whereabouts. On the one hand, he is losing his life. Which is more serious, he should know."
The Xiang family members all nodded in deep agreement.
Xiang Yu whispered: "At the third watch tonight, I will personally take action to meet the giant at night."
The Xiang family members all excitedly agreed.
…………
At the same time, Hu Hai was sitting in Hu Ji's bedroom, and Ji Ming was talking to him with a treacherous look.
Just listen to Ji Ming say: "Sir, how confident are you in this assessment?"
Hu Hai said calmly: "70%."
Ji Ming sighed and said: "I often hear people say that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Zhao Gao died and the young master lost his master. This was originally a disaster. But it also gave the young master some experience and made him mentally tough and extraordinary. .”
"Now His Majesty has decreed that the Third Young Master is appointed as the county guard and is not allowed to take his master with him. In this case, they are beasts that have just left their parents. Although they have some minions, they don't know how to use them. How can they compete with the Young Master?"
Hu Hai sneered and said nothing.
Ji Ming said with a smile: "But..."
Hu Hai narrowed his eyes and asked, "But what?"
Ji Ming said in a low voice: "But... Mr. Fusu is not an idle person."
Hu Hai chuckled: "Fusu is only a few years older than me. He pursues Confucianism and Legalism, which is contrary to my father's ideas. As long as I wait a few years and I grow up, my weight in my father's heart will probably exceed Fusu's. Sue.”
Ji Ming nodded in agreement and said, "But... Master Fu Yao is a powerful enemy."
Hu Hai narrowed his glasses and said calmly: "He is indeed a strong opponent, but he is too young. What's more, Master is not allowed to be brought with him this time. Without Huaiguzi, he is no match for me."
Ji Ming said: "If there are no locusts and millets, what if there is a giant man?"
Hu Hai was slightly startled.
Ji Ming said: "My servant has found out clearly. After Jufu was dismissed from office, he took refuge with Huaiguzi. Huaiguzi ordered him to follow Fuyao and go to Beidi County together."
"This giant man has no official title now. Whether he is a servant or a follower, he has not broken the rules. And this man has been the governor of the same place for a long time and is familiar with political affairs. With him helping him, Fu Yao can't do anything. Merits will not lead to big troubles.”
Hu Hai stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "Fu Yao, there must be trouble. Otherwise, it will not be enough to shake my father's love for him."
Ji Ming said with a smile: "I have a plan."
Hu Hai said: "Speak quickly."
Ji Mingshen said mysteriously: "This person, Ju Fu, was originally a county guard, and he could be considered a high-ranking official. However, now he has lost his official title and become a commoner. He must be angry in his heart. It's unfair and quite lonely. And at this time, if the young master can win over a little bit, in his opinion, it will definitely be a help in times of need."
"From the perspective of a slave, this giant man will definitely be grateful to the young master and loyal. At that time, the young master will use him to make some small moves against Beidi County, making Fu Yao confused and making a big fool of himself. Isn't that an easy thing? ?”
Hu Hai's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he heard this, and then nodded.
Ji Ming said with a smile: "If you can trust me, I will do this for you."
Hu Hai was originally very interested, but when he heard this, he suddenly smiled and seemed not to want to continue talking.
Ji Ming asked: "Is it possible that you don't believe me?"
Hu Hai said nothing. He really doesn't believe Ji Ming. Who doesn't know now that this guy is a bumbling star, whoever he follows will be unlucky. If you leave this matter to others, it might still be possible. But if you leave it to him, you'll be in trouble.
Fortunately, Ji Ming also had self-awareness and understood immediately. He chuckled and said, "It seems that the young master has heard some rumors and doesn't believe me anymore."
He dug around on his body, took out the fortune stone, and said to Hu Hai: "Master, please see, this stone is extremely efficacious. Ever since I wore it, my wishes have always come true when I do things. Master, do you still remember?" On that day, the ministers discussed the appointment of a prince. Originally, the young master had no chance, but because the slave wore this stone, the young master was selected."
After hearing this, Hu Hai fell into deep thought. Finally, he nodded: "That's all, I'll leave this matter to you."
Ji Ming was immediately in high spirits, thanked him repeatedly, and patted his chest and promised that it would be done well.
The reason why Hu Hai chose Ji Ming was that there was really no one available. Secondly, based on the experience of choosing the prince last time, I feel that even if Ji Ming is really the broom star, it should not affect him. Thirdly, Ji Ming finally wore a transport stone, which should have some effect.
Hu Hai took out some treasures and gave them to Ji Ming.
Now Hu Hai is in poverty in the palace. He has taken things up and down several times, but has not gained anything. If he does it a few more times, he may really use up all his savings over the years.
Ji Ming took the few treasures and looked at them, and said with some embarrassment: "Master, now we have to win over the giant man. This person is extremely crucial. At this time, we must not be stingy. We would rather give up some small wealth." We need to get the giant husband into our hands.”
Hu Hai felt helpless and took out another third.
Ji Ming sighed and said: "This money is nothing. That's all, I still have some savings, so why not help the master make up for it."
Hu Hai's face turned slightly red, but he felt that Ji Ming was quite a good person.
Ji Ming hid the jewelry on his body, said goodbye to Hu Hai, and quietly returned to his residence.
Then, he took out half of the jewelry and hid it in the house, claiming that he had embezzled it. Keep the remaining half on your body, intending to convince the giant husband.
…………
It was getting dark and the banquet was over. Li Shui staggered back to Shangjun Courtyard in a carriage.
The giant man originally followed the carriage back, but when he walked to the gate of Shangjun's courtyard and saw the calf guarding the gate, his face suddenly became sad.
Niu Dao was very enthusiastic. He waved to Ju Fu and said, "Ju Fu, have you collected enough 100,000 yuan?"
The giant man said cautiously: "I went to the Exorcist Tower recently and didn't pay."
Niu Dao's eyes widened: "The Banished Immortal Tower didn't take your money?"
The giant man nodded vigorously: "Shang Jun's Courtyard and the Exorcist Immortal Tower are both the Exorcist Immortal's properties. I was wondering if this place..."
Niu Da patted his thigh: "Yes, these two properties are the properties of the Exiled Immortal. They belong to the same family. The Exiled Immortal Building forgot to collect your money, you have to come here to make up for it."
As soon as the giant man heard this, he turned around and ran away.
If you really want to chase the calf, you can chase him. But guarding the goal is more important, not to mention that even if he catches up, Jufu has no money.
So Niu Calf shouted from far behind: "It is only natural to pay back debts. I will give you a few days of grace for the time being. Remember to pay back in the future."
The giant man ran for more than a mile, but he couldn't run anymore. He wanted to find a place to eat, but he was penniless. Who would give him free food?
When I was at a loss, someone suddenly said: "Isn't this a giant man?"
The giant man was stunned for a moment and found a lady standing behind him. She had visited him two days ago.
The noble lady touched her body, took out three and a half taels of money and threw it on the ground: "Come here, tell me how the immortals were banished on Yuewang Mountain to destroy Xiang Liang."
The giant man felt a little insulted, but he was so hungry that he didn't care about any food that came to him. He bent down, picked up the money, and then began to brag about banishing the immortals.
With the experience of being beaten in the Immortal Exile Tower, Jufu learned a lesson this time, and he followed the storyteller's routine exactly, talking about making soldiers by spreading beans, calling for wind and rain, and having soldiers and generals from heaven.
Finally, there was a circle of people around, and many people shouted for money.
To be honest, what the giant man tells may not be as exciting as the storyteller. But after all, he was a person who experienced it, and he sounded very emotional. Maybe this is the legendary sense of substitution.
So after two hours, Jufu actually made a lot of money.
After dark, the onlookers gradually dispersed. The giant man took the money and had a hearty meal. Then I rented a room from a nearby farmer and planned to have a good sleep.
Lying on the tattered mat at night, the giant man sighed: There are still two days left, and in two days Young Master Fu Yao will go to Beidi County. And he will leave with Mr. Fu Yao. Once there, there should be no need to suffer.
The giant man didn't know that at this moment, there were two men in black outside the small courtyard. One is Xiang Yu, and the other is Xiang Yu's companion.
They planned to wait until everyone was asleep, sneak in quietly, threaten the giant man, and ask him to do things for them.
A few miles away, Ji Ming finally found out where the giant husband lived after all the trouble, and was heading here with jewelry in his arms.
