Xiang Yu walked out of the room. When Xiang's children saw it, they all gathered around him.
These people said with concern: "General Yu, you haven't eaten for a few days, why not eat a little."
Xiang Yu nodded slowly.
Ever since Xiang Yu completely despaired of his future, he seemed to have let go of a big burden and felt much more relaxed.
He suddenly discovered that as long as he didn't have to be obsessed with rebellion, he would save a lot of effort. Maybe it's not bad to be ordinary, have enough food and clothing, and be a rich man.
Xiang Yu took a deep breath, took the rice handed over by the Xiang family, and then swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
It turns out...the rice is so delicious.
In the past, Xiang Yu's mind was full of peace, and when he was eating, he was also thinking about how to lead his troops to fight. No matter what delicacies he had, he never tasted them in detail.
The children of the Xiang family were a little happy to see that Xiang Yu was much normal.
They asked cautiously: "General Yu, is the sound of dragons roaring and tigers roaring really that good?"
Xiang Yu suddenly felt bitter in his heart.
Although I have let it go now, it is still a bit sad to mention it suddenly.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood, smiled slightly, and said: "The sound is breathtaking."
Although Xiang Yu has despaired of making a contribution, it is impossible for him to admit that he did not hear it.
The children of the Xiang family said one after another: "General Yu really wants to be a great hero. Otherwise, how could he hear this voice?"
The people next to him nodded vigorously.
Xiang Xian has been targeted by Xiang Yu, so he desperately wants to express himself and gain Xiang Yu's trust.
So he said excitedly: "General Yu has obtained such a sword. In the future, he will make great achievements and overthrow the violent Qin. That is a sure thing. General Yu, when will we start an attack?"
Xiang Yu was heartbroken after hearing this, and glared at Xiang Xian angrily.
Xiang Xian was startled and took a step back involuntarily.
At the same time, he felt a little aggrieved: What happened to me? Isn't it okay for me to ask when the incident will start?
Xiang Yu sighed and said calmly: "When will we start the incident... There is no rush. Now that we have the chance to win, we should find the right time. If we start the incident in a hurry, it will easily spoil things, which will be bad."
Xiang Yu is indeed not in a hurry. Anyway, if you start an incident, it will definitely fail, so just delay it and count the consequences.
Xiang Xian and others complimented again. He said that "General Yu can keep his composure" and "victory is within his grasp". Words like "Sit tight on the Diaoyutai".
After Xiang Yu finished eating, he felt sleepy. Then he returned to the room, lay down on the low couch and fell asleep.
This sleep lasted four or five hours.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already evening.
Seeing that Xiang Yu was gone, Xiang's children quickly whispered: "The old general is here."
This old general refers to Xiang Chao.
Although Xiang Chao did not lead troops, he was the father of General Yu, so these descendants of the Xiang family respectfully called Xiang Chao the old general.
When Xiang Yu heard that his father was coming, he quickly dressed up and went to see him.
Xiang Chao pulled Xiang Yu to a quiet place and whispered, "I heard that Zhao Tuo gave you that sword as a gift a few days ago?"
Xiang Yu's heart felt blocked and he reluctantly said, "Yes."
Xiang Chao was overjoyed and said with emotion: "This is what I meant. We got such a precious sword without paying a cent. Isn't this God asking us to make great achievements?"
Xiang Yu was speechless and thought: Could it be that God is trying to stop me from falling into a trap?
Xiang Chao asked: "How is it? Do you hear the sound of tigers roaring and dragons roaring?"
Xiang Yu said: "I heard it."
Xiang Chao was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Of course I heard it, my son is a dragon and a phoenix, how could he not hear it?"
Xiang Yu smiled bitterly and had no choice but to nod.
Xiang Chao was even more satisfied: "Now my son has become more and more stable. He can't express his emotions and anger, and he will be able to achieve great things. It seems that the training in this Shangjun Courtyard is not without benefits."
Xiang Yu forced a smile and said, "Yes."
Xiang Chao asked: "When will my son start an uprising?"
Xiang Yu had a headache and hesitantly said: "Don't rush, just wait for the opportunity."
Xiang Chao nodded: "Now that we have the sword, there is really no need to worry. Keep the sword carefully. Maybe in a few days, the sword spirit will take the initiative to help us take care of everything, haha."
Xiang Yu also laughed twice.
Xiang Chao said: "It's getting late, it's getting dark, so I'll go back first as my father."
Xiang Chao walked away with a smile.
Xiang Yu walked out of the corner with a lonely look. As a result, as soon as he came out, he met someone head-on.
This person is Zhao Tuo.
After Xiang Yu saw Zhao Tuo, he felt a little unhappy. If this man hadn't been so attentive and presented him with a sword for nothing, how could he be so desperate?
Zhao Tuo was very enthusiastic about Xiang Yu.
Because in Zhao Tuo's view, this "Liu Ji" is the famous person next to the banished immortal.
Zhao Tuo smiled and said to Xiang Yu: "Brother Liu, how about that sword?"
Xiang Yu nodded: "Yes, the sound of tigers roaring and dragons roaring is the true sound."
Zhao Tuo suddenly felt sour in his heart: Even Liu Ji is a hero, but I am not? It's really unfair.
He forced a smile and said to Xiang Yu: "Yes, I used to spend so much time listening to the sound of tigers roaring and dragons roaring that I forgot to eat and sleep."
Xiang Yu felt very sad when he heard this: Why can't I hear it?
The two people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then parted with a forced smile on their faces.
Xiang Yu just wants to go back and take a good nap now.
As a result, he was grabbed by another person halfway.
He looked up and found that the man looked familiar.
Xiang Yu asked doubtfully: "Are you...Zhang...Zhang Liang?"
That person is Zhang Liang. He smiled and said: "Brother Liu, long time no see. I heard you got a sword?"
Xiang Yu was about to cry, so he had no choice but to nod and say nothing.
Zhang Liang asked with interest: "Can you hear the sound of tigers roaring and dragons roaring?"
Xiang Yu coughed dryly: "Of course I heard it."
Zhang Liang was overjoyed, patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder and said: "I knew it, you can hear it of course."
Liu Ji is a nobleman appointed by Huang Shigong, how can he not hear it?
Zhang Liang took Xiang Yu and said, "Let's go and have a few drinks with Brother Liu."
The last time I saw Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was lukewarm towards Zhang Liang. Afterwards, Zhang Liang thought about it and felt that he still needed to have a good relationship with Xiang Yu.
The best way for men to have a good relationship is to drink together. After drinking too much, letting go, and talking nonsense for a while, the relationship became warmer.
Therefore, Zhang Liang took Xiang Yu out of Shangjun Courtyard.
Now there are stalls outside Shangjun Courtyard.
Those stalls stay open until midnight, offering a variety of drinks and food.
The two of them sat in the stall, one cup at a time and one cup at a time.
Zhang Liang wanted to have a good relationship with Xiang Yu, so he kept urging him to drink.
Xiang Yu was in a bad mood, so the wine went dry.
This drink lasted for several hours.
…………
While Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang were drinking, Zhao Tuo also met Li Shui.
Li Shui looked at Zhao Tuo speechlessly: "You really... dress up differently every time."
This time Zhao Tuo dressed up as a woodcutter, carrying firewood on his back and an ax in his waist.
Zhao Tuo laughed dryly and said to Li Shui: "In the beginning, people were worried about being recognized, so they disguised themselves."
"Who knew that after I had been disguised for a long time, I suddenly fell in love with this feeling. When I see traffickers and footmen on the road, people from all walks of life always like to wear their clothes and imitate their speech and behavior."
"Just like this woodcutter, with this bundle of firewood on my back and this ax in hand, I seem to have really become a woodcutter. The intrigues and intrigues in the court have nothing to do with me. I I feel very relaxed.”
"Of course, if I really want to be a woodcutter, I won't be able to bear the hardship. Fortunately, after I relax, I can continue to be an official and make money. It's really the best of both worlds."
Zhao Tuo warmly invited Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, why don't you and I pretend to be together? The two of us will pretend to be fishermen and go to the nearby Weihe River to juice..."
Li Shui waved his hand: "No need, I am living a very comfortable life, there is no need to relax."
Zhao Tuo let out a sigh of regret.
He also knows that his mentality is a bit different. I always want to find a companion to hug together for warmth. After searching all over Xianyang City, I found that the banished immortal likes to be unique.
Zhao Tuo originally thought that he would have something in common with the Banished Immortal, but he didn't expect that the Banished Immortal wouldn't like it either.
Alas, a confidant is hard to find.
After sighing in his heart, Zhao Tuo said to Li Shui respectfully: "The general came here this time because he wanted to discuss with the banished immortal about...the impeachment of Li Si during the next court meeting. "
Li Shui smiled and said, "Are you so anxious?"
Zhao Tuo gave a bitter smile and said: "Last time at the Immortal Exile Tower, Li Si's two most beloved beauties became servants serving tea and water. Li Si looked kind-hearted that day, but his eyes were fierce. And several times The next time I looked over, I felt that my whole body was cold, as if I was about to be swallowed up."
"Therefore, the general is really scared. When the court meeting comes, even if I don't impeach Li Si, Li Si will impeach me."
Li Shui smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that Li Si will write a memorial to impeach you before the court meeting?"
Zhao Tuo said: "That shouldn't happen. Feng Renji helped the general analyze it. What Li Si wants is to be visible to the public, to be upright, and to ruin the general's reputation. He will probably not take action in advance."
Li Shui nodded: "That's all, just discuss this matter with Feng Renji. Alas, I am simple and can't listen to these intrigues in your court."
Zhao Tuo responded and left with a complicated mood.
As a result, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Mr. Fu Yao coming in excitedly.
Fu Yao said excitedly as he walked: "Master, after the news was released, it really had a great effect. Now those Confucian scholars have made reservations for Journey to the North, and their family members have also sent deposits."
Li Shui said with a smile: "I think you should strike while the iron is hot and write a second book."
Fu Yao was slightly startled: "Really? But for this second book, what should I write?"
Li Shui reminded him: "I have taught you so many skills, don't you want to repay me? This Shangjun Villa is so magical, don't you want to praise it?"
Fu Yao snorted: "It seems to make sense."
Zhao Tuo said with a flattering face next to him: "Master Fu Yao, I heard about your Northern Journey. The first few pages are full of praises from the powerful and powerful. After reading the Northern Journey, I was also impressed. Therefore, I recommended myself. Can you also write a page of recommendations for the young master?"
Fu Yao looked at Zhao Tuo doubtfully: "Yes, yes, but you are..."
Zhao Tuo felt a little ashamed. He suddenly felt that he was being abrupt: That's right. He is a person who can't even hear the roar of tigers and dragons. Where can I write recommendations for Journey to the North?
Zhao Tuo saluted Fu Yao: "General, I'm just smiling. Don't take it seriously, sir. I'm leaving now, general."
Zhao Tuo left sadly.
…………
Zhao Tuo wiped his tears and left, and Xiang Yu came in burping from wine. The two people passed each other, full of worries, and neither of them recognized the other.
It was already past midnight. Xiang Yu was stumbling when he suddenly felt a surge in his chest and vomited against the wall.
"You really can't drink too much wine, it's too uncomfortable." Xiang Yu thought secretly.
He returned to his room drunk. As soon as the door opened, several panicked people jumped out.
Xiang Yu was startled and asked: "Who is it?"
Those few people said tremblingly: "General, forgive me, it's us."
The voice sounded familiar.
Xiang Yu looked carefully and found that he was a descendant of the Xiang family.
He asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
The disciples of the Xiang family said: "We thought that General Yu was drinking outside today and would not come back. But we were also curious about what the sound of the roaring tiger and dragon roaring was, so we wanted to listen secretly."
Xiang Yu said lightly and asked, "That sound is nice."
One sentence made the Xiang family's children feel bitter in their hearts.
None of them heard it.
However, Xiang Xian responded quickly. He knew he couldn't tell the truth. Xiang Yu already hates himself. If he finds that he is mediocre, he will be even more unable to follow Xiang Yu.
So he was full of energy and said: "The sound is so beautiful that the people who listen to it are fascinated and cannot extricate themselves. However, what I hear is definitely not as moving as what General Yu heard. After all, people always follow the general, how dare to compete with him?" Comparable to generals?"
When Xiang Yu heard this, he wanted to turn around and split Xiang Xian into two pieces: I didn't hear it, did Xiang Xian hear it? What's the point?
As a result, Xiang Xian's words reminded other Xiang descendants.
They began to lie one after another. Regardless of whether they heard it or not, others could not verify it. So they all began to describe the sound of dragons roaring and tigers roaring in a specious way.
Anyway, the words that come and go are all words that are wonderful, extremely pleasant to listen to, and so on.
Xiang Yu waved his hand and said: "It's late at night, go to bed."
Everyone left, and Xiang Yu's room became deserted.
He suddenly felt melancholy.
It's sad enough that I can't hear the roar of tigers and roars of dragons. I didn't expect anyone else to hear it.
It doesn't matter if others can hear it, but these Xiang family disciples who have been following him can actually hear it.
They...they are my retainers.
Are they heroes? But not me?
Now, what's the point?
Xiang Yu was about to cry but had no tears. He groped around in the room for a while, found a jar of wine, and drank one cup after another for himself.
