In the dead of night, Jufu was already fast asleep. After all, he had been too tired these past few days. It could even be said that he had never had a solid night's sleep since Xiang Liang's rebellion.
Now he is fine, his official position and title are gone, but he has made friends with Huaiguzi and Fuyao, so his future may not be so gloomy. The giant man felt very at ease and even smiled slightly in his dream.
In other rooms, there lived some people from Guizhou who came here to do small business. Some of them sold pastries and some sold toys. They left their hometowns and set up stalls in Shangjun Courtyard during the day and came back to sleep at night. Anyway, working from early to late can earn more than farming.
In the past, they could only live in Datongpu, but now they are making more and more money and can live in a single room. It is not only clean, but also safe, and they don't have to worry about having their money stolen. These Guizhou heads also felt very at ease and fell asleep.
Everything was silent, and the Xiang family's children waiting outside the wall said, "General Yu, I feel a little uneasy."
Xiang Yu whispered: "Why are you uneasy?"
The descendant of the Xiang family said: "Are we going in like this? If the giant is on guard and uses his plan, won't we be caught in one fell swoop?"
Xiang Yu said calmly: "It doesn't matter, how does the giant know about our existence? What's more, I have courage that no man can match. Even if he is on guard, what can he do to me?"
The descendant of the Xiang family had no choice but to nod his head. In fact, he was murmuring in his heart: General, you are brave enough to be worthy of all men, but what about me?
However, the education he received since childhood was to follow Xiang Liang's family. Nominally, they all have the surname Xiang. In fact, they regard Xiang Liang's family as their masters, so he did not doubt Xiang Yu's decision. He went through water and fire. Come to the fire.
Xiang Yu looked at the moon in the sky and whispered: "It's almost time, let's go."
The Xiang family's children responded and followed Xiang Yu to jump over the short wall and climb into the small courtyard.
There was a dog in the yard, and it barked when it heard the noise. Xiang Yu waved his sword and the dog's head fell off.
The two people leaned against the wall and did not move, quietly listening to the movements in the room. No one seemed to notice the barking of the dogs in the broken rooms, so Xiang Yu and the Xiang family's children quietly inspected the rooms.
Xiang Yu asked in a low voice: "Which room did he live in?"
The descendant of the Xiang family pointed to one of the rooms and said, "I can see it clearly, it's this one."
Xiang Yu nodded, inserted his sword into the crack of the door, and flicked it for a while. The door latch fell off, and the two doors opened with a slight push.
Xiang Yu and the Xiang family members ducked in and closed the door behind them.
The descendants of the Xiang family lit their lamps and shone their light on the giant man's face. It was proven that he was indeed a wealthy man.
Xiang Yu sneered: "This person can actually still sleep."
He waved his hand, and the Xiang family members put out the lights again. This is what they have agreed upon. Never let the other party know who you are. In this case, he will not even be able to file a complaint and will only be in fear of the unknown.
The giant man vaguely heard movement in the room, so he opened his eyes slightly. But it was dark in front of me and I couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my neck. The giant man trembled with fear.
He was all too familiar with this feeling, the feeling of a sword on his neck.
Immediately afterwards, someone lowered his voice in the giant man's ear and said, "If you want to survive, follow my orders."
The giant man didn't dare to move and let out a hum from his throat.
The man whispered: "We want to assassinate Mr. Fu Yao, and you have to help us provide him with his whereabouts. Which road to take, which post to rest at, and who are the guards around him."
The giant man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: Could it be that this is a test to banish an immortal?
Yes, this must be a test to banish an immortal. It seems that Exiled Immortal is really trustworthy. He just said he would test me during the day, and he came at night.
Thinking of this, the giant man smiled slightly: "What if I don't agree?"
Xiang Yu was also stunned, thinking: When did this guy become so tough?
He lowered his voice and said, "If you don't agree, your head will fall to the ground."
The giant man said calmly: "You cannot be subdued by force. A man walks between heaven and earth and stands upright. How can he betray his master and seek glory? Don't say that there is a sword on my neck today. Even if I am tortured, I will never change my words."
Xiang Yu is a little strange, is this guy crazy?
The descendant of the Xiang family next to him kindly advised the giant: "Why risk your life for an unrelated person?"
The giant man sneered in his heart: What? One is hard and the other is soft? Think I'll be fooled?
He said sternly: "Master Banished Immortal, Master Fu Yao, you have treated me with great kindness. How could I betray them? If you two still have a trace of shame in your hearts, you should throw down your swords, cry bitterly, and change your past." No."
"A common man, you dare to speak so arrogantly when you are about to die." Xiang Yu cursed angrily, raised his sword, and wanted to kill the giant man.
He has already understood that this guy Jufu may have been drunk by Huaiguzi. It is probably impossible to win over him to rebel against Qin. In this case, killing him will at least shock the Qin people.
However, the descendant of the Xiang family next to him stopped Xiang Yu and whispered in his ear: "General Yu, you can't do this. Be careful to alert the enemy."
Xiang Yu was slightly startled and felt that this was quite reasonable. Once Jufu is killed, Huaiguzi will be extremely vigilant. Let alone entering Shangjun's courtyard, it would be impossible for Xiang to assassinate her on the street regardless of life and death.
However, Xiang Yu then thought about it and said in a low voice to the descendants of the Xiang family: "However, today you and I have threatened Jufu. Tomorrow he will tell Huaiguzi, and Huaiguzi will still be vigilant."
The descendants of the Xiang family whispered: "We are just threatening. Huaiguzi will be vigilant for three to five days and it will be over. If the giant husband is killed, things will be different."
Xiang Yu nodded slowly.
When he talked to the Xiang family's children, his voice was extremely low. Ju Fu didn’t hear it, but Ju Fu figured out a lot of things in his own mind.
He felt that he had guessed correctly, these people were indeed sent by the Exalted Immortal. Just now he was pretending to be angry and raised his sword to kill people, but now that he is not afraid, he doesn't dare to take action anymore. The two men whispered, not knowing what to do.
The giant man even looked pitifully at the two shadowy figures in the room: These two fake assassins were really as stupid as pigs, and they were so exhausted from acting. It's so scary now that I don't have a step, which is really pitiful. How about... I help them.
Thinking of this, the giant man pulled out the wooden stick from the corner, waved it and shouted: "Get out."
The room suddenly became chaotic. Xiang Yu and the Xiang family's children were each beaten and ran outside in embarrassment.
Xiang Yu was extremely angry. He had never experienced such humiliation in his entire life. Threatening people failed, but how many sticks did he receive?
In fact, now Xiang Yu could stab the giant man to death with just a raise of his hand, but for the sake of assassinating Huaiguzi, he held back, resisted the attack of the wooden stick from behind, and groped to open the door.
At the same time, Ji Ming had also arrived in the small courtyard. In order to prevent Mr. Hu Hai's friendship with a giant husband from being known, Ji Ming also climbed over the wall to cover up others' eyes.
After he came in, he reached out and threw the piece of meat in his hand to attract the watchdog's attention and avoid exposing the target.
But the moment he took it off, Ji Ming found that there was no barking at all, so he grabbed the meat tightly and ate it himself.
"You don't even have a watchdog, and you still want to open a shop? I'll steal something from them later." Ji Ming thought beautifully, and then began to think about how to find the giant husband.
He only found out that the giant man lived in this small courtyard. The specific room was not yet known. While I was at a loss in the yard, I suddenly heard movement in one of the rooms.
Ji Ming approached curiously, but the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a man in black with a long sword jumped out. Under the moonlight, the sword shone with cold light, making Ji Ming's legs weak with fear.
Ji Ming was startled, and Xiang Yu, who had just rushed out of the house, was also startled: Is there an ambush in the yard?
He didn't think much and swung his sword towards Ji Ming.
Ji Ming was so frightened that he ran away regardless of his head or tail. As a result, he moved too much and fell to the ground.
Xiang Yu was in a hurry to leave, so he didn't kill him, but just stepped on his back hard. Using his strength, he jumped onto the wall and quickly disappeared into the darkness outside.
Ji Ming climbed up from the ground in fear, but just halfway up, he was stepped on by another foot on his back. He was a descendant of the Xiang family. He followed his example and ran up the wall to escape.
This time Ji Mingxue was smarter and looked back first. This time he didn't see the person holding the sword, only a person holding a wooden stick.
The moonlight was dim and it was difficult to see the man's appearance clearly. But his size was too noticeable. So Ji Ming asked tentatively: "Lord Jufu?"
The giant man came over waving a wooden stick, thinking: Why is there an extra assassin?
At the same time, Ji Ming got up from the ground. He also figured out that the two assassins just now should have come to assassinate the giant husband.
Ji Ming looked at the giant man waving a wooden stick and thought: This giant man looks bulky, but he didn't expect to be a master. With a wooden stick, he actually repelled two assassins with swords. It was amazing.
Seeing that the giant husband was quite hostile to him, Ji Ming quickly said to the giant husband: "Sir, please don't get me wrong, I am not an assassin."
The giant husband looked at Ji Ming cautiously: "What are you here for? Why do you know my name?"
Ji Ming thought: We met in the palace. If you can't remember me, I will definitely remember you.
After all, this book about banishing immortals and annihilating Xiang Liang has been widely circulated. Even people in Xianyang City who have never heard of it have spread it by word of mouth and understand some of its contents.
Ji Ming coughed dryly and tried hard to make his tone respectful: "I'm here specifically to pay homage to Mr. Jufu."
As soon as the giant man heard the word "visit", some unbearable past events were brought back to him. He sneered: "Did you come to see me with money?"
Ji Ming was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: The Chu people are indeed Southern Barbarians. Can such a thing be asked directly?
But for the sake of Master Hu Hai's great cause, Ji Ming held back and said with a smile: "Of course I came with money."
The giant man wanted to hit him on the head with a stick, thinking: What are the customs of Qin people? Like this kind of meeting?
Ji Ming said with a smile: "Master Jufu, wouldn't you please come in and sit down?"
The giant man said calmly: "Please."
The two men entered the hut and lit oil lamps.
Ji Ming saw that the several tattered utensils in the house had been smashed. It seemed that the fight just now was quite fierce.
He laughed dryly and said to the giant man: "I am here to make friends with you on the orders of Young Master Hu Hai."
The giant man was slightly startled: "Master Hu Hai?"
He used to be a county guard, so he naturally knew the young masters of Da Qin, and he also vaguely knew that Mr. Hu Hai and Huai Guzi had some troubles. And I have never had any contact with Hu Hai, so why would someone come to visit today?
The giant man is wondering. Ji Ming dug around, took out some jewelry, and put it on the table.
Hu Hai gave him a lot of jewelry, but he embezzled half of it. After waiting here, he found that the giant husband lived in a shabby house. He probably didn't need so many jewels to buy him off, so he simply withheld half of it.
After seeing these things, Jufu suddenly realized in his heart: temptation, another temptation.
First, he pretended to be an assassin and used a sharp sword to scare me. Seeing that I refused to give in, he sent someone to bring jewelry, hoping to use money and silk to sway my mind.
The giant man nodded, thinking: Exiled Immortal was quite busy this night.
Jufu figured it all out and felt that he was in a transcendental position. He looked down at Ji Ming, feeling like he was looking at a clown.
The giant man smiled and asked, "Master Hu Hai, what do you need me to do?"
Ji Ming smiled: "It's very simple. As long as you do some tricks in Beidi County. It will make Fu Yao busy and make the people of Beidi County miserable. That will be fine of course."
The giant man reached out and grabbed a handful of straw and said calmly: "Is this enough?"
Ji Ming said: "That's enough. If my lord agrees, you will be Young Master Hu Hai's from now on. Needless to say, the gold and silver treasures, the Young Master will also treat you as a confidant. If the Young Master can get a big position in the future, Your Majesty will definitely It’s a meteoric rise.”
The giant man put the straw close to the oil lamp and lit it, and then a small fire appeared in the room.
Ji Ming was a little confused: What does this mean? Now that spring has begun, does he still feel cold?
The giant man put his hands on the fire and said earnestly: "In life, the most important thing is loyalty and trust. My loyalty to Mr. Fu Yao can be expressed by heaven and earth, and can be seen by the sun and moon. Who can shake it? Don't say yes. Some gold and silver, even mountains of gold and silver, cannot be returned to me in exchange for my loyalty and courage."
Then, the giant waved his hand and swept all the gold, silver and jewelry into the fire.
Ji Ming groaned, stretched out his hand and snatched out the jewelry. But once those gems are overheated, they can no longer be seen. Even if they are wiped clean, they will be greatly reduced.
Ji Ming was furious, pointed at the giant man and said, "If you don't agree, you won't agree. Why waste these things?"
The giant man sneered and said righteously: "I am a loyal minister, and I will never do anything to seek glory just because of some small wealth. You go, lest you talk too much and hurt the harmony."
Ji Ming held the jewels in distress, originally wanting to beat up the giant man to vent his anger. But then I thought about it, this guy was very skilled, he could fight two assassins with one stick, and I probably couldn't beat him, so I just endured it and came out.
After arriving in the courtyard, Ji Ming stamped his feet fiercely: "Chu people, this is Chu people. Chu people don't have good things."
He was cursing when suddenly the door of a hut opened and someone shouted: "Who is it?"
Ji Ming was startled. He was just worried and didn't lower his voice, which woke up the owner of the inn.
He rushed over, trying to open the door and escape, but there was a copper lock hanging on the door. Ji Ming wanted to escape over the wall again, but he wasted time before and now it was too late.
The owner of the inn pulled him off the wall and kicked him hard.
The movement in the yard finally alerted the people staying in the hotel, and more and more people came out. Some people shouted: "Catch the thief."
Some people shouted: "Ah, he killed the yellow dog guarding the door."
When the owner of the inn heard that the dog was dead, he became even more furious. He punched and kicked Ji Ming with all his strength.
Fortunately, some sensible people stopped the innkeeper: "This person is obviously here to steal. Report it to the official. Maybe you can get some reward."
The innkeeper spat on Jiming's face bitterly and tied a rope around him.
Ji Ming said nothing with a bitter look on his face. He didn't say that he was from the palace, otherwise, this matter would be difficult to deal with. He waited until he got to the government office and quietly explained it to the clerk. Otherwise, if the matter got serious, His Majesty would not look good, and he might beheaded in a fit of anger. ntent
