Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo walked to the front hall and saw two young men.
Xiang Bo had no impression of his eldest brother's appearance. After all, Xiang Chao was still very young when he left this family. But for some reason, he understood Xiang Yu and Xiang An at the first sight. .
These two children are the eldest brother's sons.
When Xiang Yu saw the two people arriving, he took the initiative to walk over and saluted: "Second uncle, third uncle."
Xiang An followed Xiang Yu and also saluted: "Second uncle, third uncle."
"That's quite polite." This time Xiang Liang could touch the brothers' heads and sighed, "It seems that the eldest brother has been well educated."
"Two clever men." Xiang Bo looked at the two brothers who were almost as tall as him with a smile. If it weren't for the trace of childishness still remaining on his face, he would not have believed that these two were young men. "You two were born on the same day. How much, and who is the biological mother?”
There was a hint of confusion in Xiang Yu's expression, but then he calmed down and said, "Back to my third uncle, Yu and his younger brother Xiang An were born in the same year. They are almost sixteen this year, but their biological mother... San Uncle Yu’s impression is that it was my father who took us two brothers, and he has never met our mother.”
"Have you never seen your mother..." Xiang Liang pondered slightly.
Uncle Xiang frowned and leaned into Xiang Liang's ear: "Second brother, are these two brothers the eldest brother and a commoner...?"
They were the aristocrats of the old Chu State. Even though the Chu Kingdom had been destroyed, Xiang Bo still regarded himself as an aristocrat.
Nobles cannot marry common people. Children born by common people to nobles will not be considered as legitimate children. At most, they can be treated as concubines. In the homes of nobles, they may be served as diners or something like that. The best result.
The implication of Xiang Bo's words is, what if these two children are not Xiang Chao's direct descendants?
Xiang Liang glanced at Xiang Bo, quietly pushed Xiang Bo away, and put his arms around the two brothers' shoulders.
"From today on, you two brothers can just call me uncle." He looked at the faces of the two brothers and Xiang Chao and sighed, "Brother, since he has entrusted you to me, I will take on your responsibilities. That’s good.”
He called one of his diners: "Wu Ju, I have something to give you."
"Master Xiang." Wu Ju looked about thirty years old, with a graceful demeanor. He bowed his hands and saluted Xiang Liang, "please tell me, Wu Ju will definitely do it, even if it means going to Daoshan..."
Xiang Liang interrupted Wu Ju impatiently: "Okay, okay, it's just a simple matter. No one will let you go to the mountain of swords."
He pulled the brothers Xiang Yu and Xiang An who were standing silently aside, and said to Wu Ju: "These two are my nephews. If you call me uncle, they will be my sons from now on."
"I want you to take them both to get familiar with Xiang's house, and then inform other diners of their identities."
"Remember, don't be rude, otherwise you will be questioned."
"Yes!" Wu Ju agreed quickly.
He looked at Xiang Yu and Xiang An with a flattering expression: "You two gentlemen, come with me."
Xiang An frowned and quietly moved closer to Xiang Yu: "Brother, I feel that this person has bad intentions."
"It's okay, this is uncle's diner, it's okay." Xiang Yu smiled and patted Xiang An's shoulder to comfort him.
Xiang Liang sighed silently and glared at Wu Ju: "Hurry up and go!"
"Ah yes! Young masters, come this way!" Wu Ju was startled, became serious, and spoke faster.
Xiang Liang stood there, watching Wu Ju lead the two brothers away, and couldn't help but touch his forehead: "This Wu Ju..."
"Second brother, why did you squeeze me just now? What if the two of them are the eldest brother's concubines instead of his legitimate children?" Xiang Bo said dissatisfied.
"This is the only son my eldest brother has left in the world. It doesn't matter if he is a commoner. Besides, the third brother..." He turned to look at Uncle Xiang with a stern look in his eyes, "We are no longer nobles. "
"It's not Chu or the Warring States now, it's the Qin Dynasty now."
"The pride of aristocrats is nothing like shit nowadays. It's better to use your remaining aristocratic vision to see more of the world."
"Wait a minute, second brother, what do you mean when you say only two...?" Xiang Bo looked at Xiang Liang blankly.
Xiang Liang quietly withdrew his gaze and turned away.
"Brother is dead." He left Xiang Bo with his back, "Do whatever you need to do, I have other things to do."
Xiang Bo stood there blankly, as if he hadn't reacted to the news yet, and just watched Xiang Liang leave.
The place Xiang Liang wants to go is the firewood shed.
There, there was also the withered corpse of the Black-faced Ghost.
The black-faced ghost had been dead for a day, and his body was stiff. Only then did Xiang Liang take a good look at the cup of people he called the "Xuan-faced ghost."
The skin is dark and the body is stooped. The face is not pure black, but a black-red color similar to scars, but the color is very dark.
"Brother, he...is one of the few people who believes in him?" Xiang Liang leaned down and sighed.
He remembered what Xiang Chao said in the text in the sky last night that this "Xuan-faced Ghost" brought the two brothers back from outside the pass.
"Since you are a loyal person, I will treat you with courtesy."
After walking out of the woodshed, he summoned two servants and issued a death order to find a geomantic treasure land for Wen Ju, the black-faced ghost, to bury him, and to erect a monument.
The servant didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly did it seriously.
And at the same time...
Over the Central Plains, something was flying at high speed.
It was an iron bird, and there was magic burning inside the iron bird.
This is direction.
Knowing the direction and knowing the direction, although it is the only back-up left by Ji Chao, it is also a multi-functional back-up.
When Wen Ju led the two brothers to the edge of the large formation, Zhixiang would guide Wen Ju in the direction.
When Wen Ju took the brothers to Xiang Xiang's house, Zhi Xianghui reminded Wen Ju to wake up the brothers.
When Wen Juba brings the brothers to Xiang Liang, it will turn into a messenger and tell Xiang Liang some information.
And the last one...
He will leave Xiang's residence in Kuaiji for his final flight.
This is the function that Ji Chao kept stuffing into the body of this little bird based on the future he saw during his journey.
"Treading on the Stars"
He had foreseen his own death and made the same decision as his master.
Anticipate death, accept death.
This is the fate that those who know how to deduce the magic of immortality must endure.
...
Zhixiang's flying speed was very fast. In order to cooperate with Wen Ju when guiding Wen Ju, it did not release its full strength at all.
But now, it has nothing to guide and no next mission, so it naturally flies extremely fast.
A white line is drawn in the sky, and its focus can be seen ahead.
There is--
Xianyang.
Afang Palace.
