Cang Fu thought for a while and said: "However, what should be done? If they are suddenly recruited into Shangjun's villa, they may have some suspicions."
Niu Dao said: "I also have such concerns. Just now Wujiao has entered the palace to inquire about banishing the immortal. I believe there will be news soon."
The landlady said: "The banished immortals always have incredible arrangements. I can't even guess it even if I try to break my head."
Several other people laughed: "Me too."
After a while, the guy in charge of guarding the gate said outside: "Here comes Wu Jiao."
The calf immediately said: "Please come quickly."
Then, all three people stood up.
After Wu Jiao came in, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine, and then said breathlessly: "I have already seen the banished immortal. The banished immortal is in Princess Weiyang's palace, and the two of them are discussing writing a book, what to call it... …Journey to the East? No, Journey to the North? It doesn’t seem to be… It seems to be Journey to the West.”
Wu Jiao patted his thigh and said, "I just listened to a few words and found them extremely exciting. It was about an extremely pious alchemist who saw the magic of banishing immortals and was enlightened by the banished immortals, so he cherished a heart. With a pious heart, he went straight to the Kunlun Mountains in the west to ask for immortal magic. Along the way, all kinds of demons and ghosts appeared in endlessly. He also had three followers, all transformed into spirits, one was a monkey, and the other was... "
Aofu interrupted him and said: "Let's get down to business."
Wujiao said: "Later, the sorcerer obtained the magic and brought it back to the human world. From then on, our country, Great Qin, became a fairyland on earth. The people were extremely wealthy, which was even more enviable than the legendary heyday of Yao and Shun."
Cang Fu was stunned for a moment, showing a look of longing, but he quickly came to his senses and said to Wu Jiao helplessly: "I'm asking about how to deal with Xiang Yu."
Wujiao was stunned.
Cano was a little annoyed: "Did you forget to ask?"
Wujiao scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "This Journey to the West is so exciting, I was immediately..."
Cang Fu's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at his arm that was shaking uncontrollably: "If you miss the important event of banishing an immortal, I will never let you go."
Wu Jiao chuckled: "I was just joking with my father-in-law. If I asked, I would have asked a long time ago."
The calf quickly helped Cang Fu sit down and gave him a sip of water.
Cang Fu is an old man from Xiaotu Village. He has followed the banished immortals to conquer the world from the beginning. He has watched Shang Jun's Villa become what it is today. He was first the housekeeper of Shang Jun's Courtyard, and now he is also the shopkeeper of the Banished Immortal Tower, and he has won the trust of the Banned Immortal. More importantly, he is old and has a strong presence, so his prestige among the craftsmen is quite high.
Wujiao dared to joke with Cano, but he didn't dare to really bully him. Seeing the old man gasping in anger, he laughed dryly and bowed to him as an apology.
Cangfu looked at him helplessly: "What are the instructions for banishing the immortal? Tell me quickly."
Wu Jiao said: "The Exalted Immortal said that Shang Jun's courtyard was granted land one after another and purchased a large number of acres. Now it has thousands of acres. Although some cultivators have been recruited this year, it seems that there is still a shortage of manpower."
Cang Fu looked at Wu Jiao in confusion: "What does this have to do with Xiang Yu?"
Wu Jiao said with a smile: "There are more things to come. Ban Xian said that in addition to plowing the fields, there are also repairing houses, dredging rivers, opening up fertile fields, and there are countless other jobs. Why not organize some people who are interested in entering Shangjun's Villa? People. Complete these tasks in a competition. The winner can enter the Shangjun Courtyard."
"In this way, Xiang Yu and others thought they came in based on their own abilities, so they would not have any doubts. And the farm work in Shangjun Courtyard has also been settled."
Aangfu was astonished when he heard this: "The method of banishing an immortal... is really unbelievable."
The calf's eyes lit up: "Wonderful, killing two birds with one stone."
The landlady thought in confusion: "Why does the method of banishing immortals give me the smell of a profiteer?"
…………
In the evening, Xiang Yu did not have dinner. He quietly arrived at the back door of Wang Laoshi's mansion.
There were several servants at the back door, crossing their arms and chatting.
Xiang Yu walked over and said calmly: "I want to see Liu Xian."
The servants didn't respond at all and were still chatting among themselves.
Xiang Yu thought they hadn't heard, so he raised his voice and said, "Call Liu Xian out and tell Liu Ji from Chu that he wants to see him."
The servants turned their heads to look at Xiang Yu, sneered, and still ignored him.
Xiang Yu was furious and was about to explode when he suddenly realized that he was no longer the young master of the Xiang family who was making waves in the Chu land. He was just a poor man who went by the pseudonym Liu Ji and made a living in the Immortal Tower.
He bent down slightly, made a salute, and said very politely: "Excuse me, please call me Liu Xian, and tell me that an old friend is here to stop me."
Finally one of the servants spoke. He stood on the steps and looked at Xiang Yu condescendingly: "This is called being sensible."
However, after he said these words, he made no other moves.
Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then said with a dry smile: "Brother, I wonder if you can help me..."
Before he finished speaking, the servant showed an impatient look: "This guy is so ignorant."
Xiang Yu was stunned and thought: Am I ignorant? I am the young master of the Xiang family. What important things have I not done? I……
Suddenly, he saw the servant take out a few Qin Banliang from his arms, shake them in his hands, and then put them back into his arms.
Only then did Xiang Yu realize that the other party wanted money.
He cursed secretly in his mind and touched his body, only to find that he only had twenty or thirty taels and a half.
Xiang Yu originally wanted to take out all the money, but this time he was overly cautious and only took out half. Then he smiled dryly and said, "That's all I have."
The servant didn't think it was too little, so he put it into his arms and said calmly: "Liu Xian is not here. The craftsman from Shang Jun's courtyard called him away."
Xiang Yu was confused: "Not there? Then wouldn't it be better if you just told me that you weren't here?"
Unfortunately, those servants ignored him at all.
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
While it was still dark, Xiang Yu wanted to go to Shangjun's villa, contact Xiang Xian, and ask him to think of a way to get the Xiang family's children to Shangjun's villa. If he can't do it, it doesn't matter. Now Xiang Xian is in Shangjun Courtyard. If he has the chance, he can still kill Huaiguzi.
Xiang Yu didn't know that as soon as he left Wang Laoshi's mansion, two descendants of the Xiang family hurriedly came from the Banished Immortal Tower.
These two sons of the Xiang family were better at doing things, and they politely asked the servants chatting: "Brothers, have you ever seen a person come here to see Liu Xian?"
After paying more than a dozen and a half taels of money, these descendants of the Xiang family also came to Shangjun's courtyard while it was still dark.
Xiang Yu walked quickly and ran away. In less than a quarter of an hour, he stood at the door of Shangjun's courtyard.
But the price list at the door scared him away. Entering Shangjun Courtyard actually cost 100,000 yuan.
He lingered for a long time and had no choice but to ask the gatekeeper if he could help call Liu Xian.
The craftsman was very amiable and said in a very embarrassed tone, "Liu Xian is studying in the academy and can't get away at the moment."
In fact, Xiang Xian had to stay in the academy to study, and he couldn't go anywhere else. It was equivalent to being under house arrest in the academy. The craftsmen said this just to give each other face.
After Xiang Yu heard this, he believed it and thought that Xiang Xian had changed. After entering Shangjun Courtyard, he forgot about the important task of reviving the Chu Dynasty and wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official of the Qin people. So he yelled at Xiang Xian.
The craftsman looked at the furious Xiang Yu and thought to himself: This man is really easy to learn. I heard that others had already come in to go to school, and they were so anxious. It's a pity that in the whole world, who can have such an opportunity as Liu Xian?
Xiang Yu cursed for a while, and finally had no choice but to walk into the city dejectedly.
As a result, on the way, he met the two Xiang descendants who came to look for him.
The descendant of the Xiang family said breathlessly: "General Yu, I am so happy, so happy."
Xiang Yu's eyes lit up: "What? Wang Laoshi recommended me before he left? Can we enter Shangjun's Villa?"
The descendant of the Xiang family said: "It's not Wang Laoshi, but we can be regarded as entering Shang Jun's courtyard."
Xiang Yu asked curiously: "Really?"
The descendants of the Xiang family nodded: "Yes. There will be a competition tomorrow at Shangjun Courtyard. The winner of the competition will be able to enter Shangjun Courtyard. But this is different from the core craftsmen of Shangjun Courtyard. What...employee."
Xiang Yu asked in confusion: "What is an employer?"
A descendant of the Xiang family said: "It is said that the craftsmen in Shangjun's courtyard have either followed the banished immortals for a long time and started from a humble background, or they have made great contributions to the banished immortals, so they entered Shangjun's courtyard as an exception. At the end of each year, such people will A portion of the money earned by Jun's Villa will be distributed to them according to their merits. Exiled Immortal has always claimed that the craftsmen are also the owners of Shang Jun's Villa."
"It's just that the banished immortal owns a house, and the craftsman owns a tile. Although the sizes are different, the properties are the same."
"As for the employed households, some are similar to the plowmen who work for others. Shangjun's courtyard pays to hire these people to plow the fields, repair houses, cook, etc."
"Compared to an employer and a craftsman, there is naturally a lot of difference. However, the price offered by Shangjun Courtyard is extremely high. If you can be an employer, you can support your family, and even marry a wife and have children."
At this point, the Xiang family's children couldn't help but count: "Thirty and a half taels a day. Even if you eat and drink a lot, you can only use three. There are still twenty-seven. You can save eighty taels in a month." One. You can save nine hundred and seventy-two in one year."
"And the huts outside Xianyang City are extremely cheap and can't be compared with big houses. As long as you work hard for two or three years, you can..."
Just when he had reached this point, Xiang Yu couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him.
The Xiang family's children fell to the ground with an ouch and looked at Xiang Yu aggrievedly.
Xiang Yu was furious, pointed at him and said: "What? Do you want to enter Shang Jun's courtyard, become an employer, buy a house, land, marry a wife and have children? Where is Dachu? Is it going to be revived? What about the feud? Just Is this over?"
The descendants of the Xiang family shuddered, suddenly woke up, and said with shame, "I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment."
In addition to being ashamed, all the descendants of the Xiang family present felt a little disappointed, as if they had been awakened from a sweet dream: Alas, we have to leave after killing Huaiguzi. We can't stay in Xianyang City for long. Marrying a wife and having children, three thatched cottages, and half an acre of farmland are nothing but flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water...
Of course, Xiang Yu did not sigh or feel disappointed. Xiang Yu is a powerful man in Chu. What hasn't he seen since he was a child? He already has wealth and power, so his wife and children are not attractive to him.
Xiang Yu waved his hand and said: "Let's go back to the city immediately. Recharge your batteries. In tomorrow's competition, we will win the first prize and enter Shang Jun's Courtyard."
The Xiang family members responded and walked towards the city gate one after another. As a result...it was dark and the city gate was closed.
Xiang Yu and the others had no choice but to huddle in the city gate, squeezing closer to each other to resist the cold wind.
…………
In the Chu land, Xiang Liang bought a fine horse with the money given by Wang Jian, and then he galloped to a small village.
This village is called Xiangjiacun, and everyone in the village is named Xiang. If you check the genealogy, you will find that they were related to Xiang Liang about a hundred years ago.
Of course, the Xiang family is a rich family, and there are too many poor relatives like this. Xiang Liang is busy with military affairs and has never moved around.
But things are different now. Xiang Liang's defeat is the time to employ people. The entire Xiang family in Chu Land suddenly became friendly. Blood is thicker than water, so it is best to use it here.
Xiangjia Village is generally poor, and the only slightly wealthy person is the landlord here, named Xiang Pi.
Xiang Liang went directly to the door of Xiang Pi's house.
Xiang Liang only has one man and one horse, but the dragon moves like a tiger and he looks forward to his power, which makes the villagers in Xiangjia Village a little afraid. Xiang Pi, in particular, said uneasily: "Strong man, what are you doing?"
Xiang Liang suddenly asked: "Who are you, Xiang Xin?"
Xiang Pi was stunned for a moment, a little unhappy, but did not dare to get angry and said: "Xiang Xin is my eighth generation ancestor."
Xiang Liang closed his eyes slightly, calculated his seniority in his mind, and then said to Xiang Pi: "Based on this, you are my clan uncle."
Xiang Pi was surprised: "You are..."
Xiang Liang took out a sword from his body and said, "I am Xiang Liang. This sword is enshrined in the Xiang family's ancestral temple. I must have seen it before."
Xiang Pi took one look and was stunned.
This sword is indeed the sword in the ancestral hall. It is said that the ancestor Xiang Xin once carried this sword, cut through thorns and thorns, and made great military exploits with the King of Chu, so the Xiang family became a prominent family in Chu.
Ten years ago, the Xiang family gathered bloodlines from all over the country to worship their ancestors in the ancestral temple. Xiang Pi went there once and was lucky enough to see it.
Of course, he hasn't been there since. Because it was Xiang Liang's lineage who took charge of this matter that day. Xiang Pi, a distant relative separated by several generations, has no sense of existence. After arriving there, he was like an insignificant guest and never even spoke to Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang, on the other hand, only favored the wealthy Xiang family, and his attitude towards these poor distant relatives was not as warm as he was towards the local county governor.
Therefore, after returning from the ancestral temple, Xiang Pi became somewhat alienated from the Xiang family. Live your life with peace of mind and no longer think about being the queen of a famous family.
Unexpectedly, I saw this sword here again today.
Xiang Liang said: "My nephew rebelled against Qin. Before leaving, he took this sword. Now, I bring this sword to find you. I will lead you to restore the country."
Xiang Liang shouted loudly: "Today, I, Xiang Liang, will lead you to restore the great Chu and rejuvenate the Xiang clan." At the same time, he raised the sword that represented the glory of his ancestors high.
However, unlike Xiang Liang's imagination, no one agreed with him. The people in Xiangjia Village looked at him strangely.
Finally, a child said in a childish voice: "Xiang Liang, isn't that a defeated rebel?"
