Before coming to Shangjun Courtyard, Xiang Chao was in a very depressed mood. When he was about to leave, he found that he was even more depressed.
I spent more than 200,000 yuan and said a few words to my son, that's all.
As for Xiang Bo, Xiang Chao has already expelled this guy from the Xiang family tree in his heart. This shameless person has both ends.
That night, at dinner time, Li Shui went to Xiangli Zhu's yard with his hands in his arms.
After entering the courtyard, Li Shui was a little speechless. She was obviously a pretty girl, why was the courtyard in such a mess? On one side are piles of planers, saws and chisels, on the other side are piles of large and small whetstones, as well as copper blocks, iron sheets, cardboard...
Li Shui felt that he had entered a scrap collection station in later generations.
After entering the house, I found that there were books on both the table and the floor. Fortunately, today's books are all made of paper. If they were still bamboo slips... Li Shui couldn't imagine it.
He hopped and took two steps, and finally reached Xiangli Zhu.
Xiangli Zhuzheng was holding a bowl in one hand and a book in the other hand, reading.
Li Shui said with a smile: "Do you still work hard while eating?"
Xianglizhu was startled and turned around to glare at him: "Is something wrong?"
Li Shui sighed: "I just wanted to ask how your research on sleeping pills is going."
Xianglizhu said, "It's almost here."
Li Shui said: "Hurry, you can't do it, you have to hurry up. Xiang Yu's health is getting better and better recently."
Xianglizhu looked at him in confusion: "What's a good idea?"
Li Shui said: "According to my people's observation, they now do more than ten hours of farm work every day. They can still wake up in the middle of the night. Especially this feather, after waking up in the middle of the night, insist on running two miles."
"Why do you think he did this? He was obviously exercising so that he could kill me one day and then leave immediately. I estimate that within the next few days, he might take action."
Xianglizhu said: "Then can't you just arrange more farm work for him?"
Li Shui said helplessly: "This is already the limit, no more can be done. And after dark, you can't see anything, so you can't let them light a torch, right? If this spreads out, do I still want to do it?" Fame?"
Xianglizhu said: "You have already gained a bad reputation. Are you still afraid of this?"
Li Shui sighed: "The people who slander me are all high-ranking officials. It doesn't matter to them, after all, I am asking for life for the poor people. But if the poor people know that in order to exploit the employers, I actually let them light torches to work, Then what has become of me? Am I not allowed to be reviled by the people?"
Xiangli Zhu made a sound and shook the book in his hand: "Did you see it? This is a medical book. Most of it contains prescriptions that can make people sleep."
Li Shui's eyes lit up and he asked, "With all these prescriptions, there must be something that works, right?"
Xiangli Zhu sneered: "Not necessarily."
She waved her hand: "Follow me."
Xiangli Zhu took Li Shui to the backyard. There were many cages in the backyard, and each cage contained a rabbit.
Xianglizhu said: "I have tried all the prescriptions and fed them to these rabbits. Rabbits are relatively delicate. If it works after they eat it, I will try it on sheep and pigs. If it also works on them, Use it. Then you can give it to Xiang Yu."
Li Shui asked: "So? Is it useful?"
Xiangli Zhu shook his head: "It's useless. It can be seen that most of these ancient prescriptions are nonsense. They talk about the two qi of yin and yang and the five elements of heaven and earth. They are quite interesting, but when you try it on a rabbit, all the secrets are exposed."
Li Shui sighed: "Hurry up, I'm really afraid that Xiang Yu will cut off his head in the middle of the night. Do we have to kill him now? Isn't that a bit wasteful?"
Just as he said this, Li Shui suddenly saw a rabbit in the corner, sleeping soundly.
Li Shui let out a sigh and asked Xiangli Zhu, "What kind of medicine did this rabbit take? Did it work?"
Xianglizhu said: "This rabbit was fed the wrong medicine and was given a laxative. It is now lethargic and completely weak. It has no strength to open its eyes."
Li Shui's eyes lit up: "This is good. Using laxatives can have the same effect."
Later, Li Shui began to ask Xiangli about the bamboo prescription.
Xianglizhu was a little speechless, this was too damaging.
After Li Shui got the prescription, he left happily.
…………
In the next few days, Xiang Yu and his group began to suffer from diarrhea. And I always have diarrhea at night.
Over the past few days, Xiang Yu has lost weight. Let alone assassinating Li Shui now, Xiang Yu didn't even have the strength to get up.
However, the craftsman who was in charge of them said that they were pretending to be sick. What the craftsman said was that he could plow a hundred acres in three days before, but now he can't plow in thirty days. This is obviously laziness.
Xiang Yu often thinks: If I have the strength, I will definitely chop off his head.
Fortunately, at this time, there was a craftsman named Sanjiao who sympathized with Xiang Yu and others. I often come over to comfort them. Sometimes I make chicken soup and serve them the remaining chicken.
The most unforgettable thing about offering help in times of need is that Xiang Yu soon made Sanjiao his confidant. No matter who mentioned him before or after him, tears would fill his eyes.
Sanjiao was naturally sent by Li Shui to spy on information and see what else he could get out of Xiang Yu.
In the beginning, Sanjiao was very close to several of the Xiang family members. But gradually, Xiang Yu began to have concerns.
In the future, if he kills Li Shui, he will fly far away. No matter how covert this thing is, it will be found out in the future. By then, wouldn't it be a three-legged affair?
So whenever Sanjiao came to see him, Xiang Yu was very confused. He wanted to break off the relationship with Sanjiao, but he couldn't bear it.
Later, after some time, when Sanjiao faced Xiang Yu, he always sighed and seemed hesitant to speak.
Xiang Yu asked: "Brother, do you have anything to say?"
Sanjiao hesitated for a long time and said, "Well, this matter is of great importance. I'm afraid it will make Brother Liu very sad, so it's better not to say anything."
After hearing this, Xiang Yu was touched by something on his mind, and said with emotion: "Actually, Liu has some secrets in his heart, and I can't tell my brother openly. I feel guilty."
Sanjiao and Xiang Yu were silent for a long time.
Finally, Xiang Yu made up his mind. He planned to tell Sanjiao that he was a rebel.
After killing Li Shui in the future, at worst, he will take his three legs with him.
As for whether Sanjiao will tell the truth after hearing that he is a rebel... Xiang Yu is not worried, he understands Sanjiao's character.
Furthermore, if Sanjiao really wanted to inform, he would be Xiang Yu's enemy, and Xiang Yu could only be merciless when dealing with his enemies.
So Xiang Yu said to Sanjiao: "You and I are brothers, how about we tell our secrets openly and honestly?"
Sanjiao nodded and asked, "Who says it first?"
Xiang Yu hesitated, feeling that his secret was very important. Once he told it, Sanjiao might be shocked and wouldn't tell him anymore.
So Xiang Yu smiled: "How about writing the secret on paper and we exchange it with each other?"
Sanjiao thought for a long time, then nodded: "Fortunately, I often go to the academy to attend lectures recently, so I can still write these words."
Xiang Yu found a pen and paper and wrote on the paper: I am the young master of the Xiang family, and so is Xiang Yu.
After finishing writing, Xiang Yu handed the paper to Sanjiao and took it. The content inside shocked Xiang Yu. It read: I am a rebel.
Xiang Yu suddenly raised his head: "Are you a rebel?"
Sanjiao hummed: "My family has been a servant of Lord Shang for generations. Later, Lord Shang was killed, and my ancestors were implicated, and more than twenty of them died."
"That's why my ancestors have sworn revenge for generations. So I concealed my name and arrived at Xianyang City, hoping to find an opportunity to kill the emperor. Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, I ended up in Shangjun's Villa."
Sanjiao sighed and said to Xiang Yu: "Brother Liu is a good man. I am worried that after killing the emperor in the future, you will be implicated."
After saying this, Sanjiao stared at Xiang Yu closely, as if if Xiang Yu had other ideas, Sanjiao would kill and silence him.
Xiang Yu laughed loudly: "How can such a coincidence happen in the world? I am also a rebel."
Sanjiao looked at Xiang Yu with disbelief: "Brother Liu, please don't lie to me."
Xiang Yu pointed to the note in Sanjiao's hand: "Is the writing on it clear?"
Sanjiao frowned and looked at it for a while: "Young Master Xiang, Xiang Yu. Is this a rebel?"
At this moment, Xiang Yu felt a little depressed. Because he suddenly discovered that he might not be as famous as he thought.
But this depression soon disappeared, replaced by the joy of meeting a soulmate.
Xiang Yu said to Sanjiao: "Brother, I am from Chu. Xiang family from Chu, you should understand, right?"
Sanjiao frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly realized and said: "I remember, Xiang Liang's nephew seems to be also named Xiang Yu."
Xiang Yu smiled slightly: "That's right."
Both of them smiled happily.
Xiang Yu got excited and said to Sanjiao, "How about we become brothers with different surnames?"
Sanjiao immediately agreed.
Xiang Yu dragged his weak body, knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "Today, I, Xiang Yu, and Sanjiao have become brothers with different surnames. The Emperor, the Emperor, the Empress, the Earth..."
Just as he said this, Sanjiao suddenly said: "Wait."
Xiang Yu looked at Sanjiao in confusion: "Is it possible that brother regrets it?"
Sanjiao said with some embarrassment: "I am poor and lowly and have no surname. Now I am a brother with a different surname from Brother Xiang, so I want to climb up the ladder and take the surname Xiang. How about that?"
Xiang Yu was overjoyed and said, "That couldn't be better."
So Xiang Yu and Xiang Sanjiao became sworn sworn friends again. After the worship was completed, Xiang Yu told Sanjiao that the Xiang family was too sensitive in Xianyang City, so he had to declare his surname Liu to the outside world.
Sanjiao happily agreed.
That night, Xiang Yu went to the toilet a few more times, but he was in a good mood. He breathed weakly and laughed out loud.
At the same time, Li Shui and Li Xin were also in a good mood.
Two people are playing chess.
Li Xin took a step casually and said calmly: "Is the matter done?"
Li Shui looked at the chessboard and frowned: "Well, it's done. News came from Sanjiao that he and Xiang Yu have become brothers with different surnames. No, they should be brothers with the same surname."
Then, he took a step forward.
Li Xin sighed: "Brother Huai, you put spies everywhere and deceive people, won't your conscience hurt?"
Li Shui said: "It hurts so much that I can't bear to live, so I can only use food, wine and beautiful women to numb myself."
Li Xin said: "There are not many beauties in your Shangjun Villa."
Li Shui chuckled: "You know nothing."
Li Xin hummed: "Yes, I don't understand. But I won. Explode!"
Li Shui hurriedly stopped him: "You won't win, the mines can't move. I've said it three hundred times before the bombs can move."
Li Xin said doubtfully: "It's all gunpowder, why can't the mines move?"
Li Shui waved his hand: "If you can't move, you can't move. Now my commander is the biggest on the cards, so just admit defeat."
Li Xin: "I think it is necessary to re-formulate the rules..."
…………
Xianyang City is getting closer. Wang Jian's heart became heavier and heavier.
He could have entered the city before dark, but he excused himself from feeling unwell and forced himself to slow down until dark.
Wang Jian wanted to try harder and see if he could kill Xiang Liang tonight.
At midnight, Wang Jian sent out another wave of dead soldiers. A quarter of an hour later, all the dead soldiers were dead, and Xiang Liang was safe and sound.
Wang Jian was already desperate. After sitting in the tent for a long time, he finally couldn't help but stand up and walked towards Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang was still sitting in the car, still tied up tightly.
Seeing Wang Jian coming, Xiang Liang smiled apologetically: "I can't move, I apologize."
On the surface, this is saying that you can no longer salute Wang Jian. Please don't be offended. In fact, he was saying that he was tied so tightly that he couldn't move. If he wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't do it. So after entering Xianyang City, I couldn't stand the torture and recruited Wang Jian. I'm sorry.
Wang Jian stared at Xiang Liang for a long time, sighed, and said, "There will always be time to move."
This means that although he is tied up now, there is always a chance to commit suicide after entering Xianyang City.
Xiang Liang nodded: "Thank you, General, for your advice."
After speaking, both of them were silent.
Wang Jian felt that there was nothing he could do standing here, so he simply shook his head, turned around and walked towards his tent.
When Wang Jian walked away, Li Ji said to Xiang Liang with a smile, "How about we make a deal?"
Xiang Liang said nothing.
Li Ji said: "Brother Xiang, in fact, I already have a lot of evidence. When we get to Xianyang City, Wang Jian will inevitably die if you don't open your mouth. Why do you need to go through another torture? Why don't you tell Wang Jian directly? How about giving you a good time?"
Xiang Liang chuckled: "Is this called a deal? If I tell Wang Jian and you let me go, then that's called a deal."
Li Ji said helplessly: "Brother Xiang, you have gone too far. Unless you personally say in front of His Majesty that Wang Jian is a traitor, what is the use of telling me in private? If you want to let you go, His Majesty will have to nod and agree." "
Xiang Liang said calmly: "In that case, there is no need to say anything."
Li Ji was not disappointed either. Anyway, he just said it casually. When they arrived in Xianyang City, no matter whether Xiang Liang wanted to talk or not, the cruel officials had a way to make him talk.
