"Uncle!"
When Xiang Yu saw Xiang Liang dead in his arms, his eyes suddenly turned red and his eyes were about to burst. He didn't make any next move, he just stayed there in a daze.
The shouts of killing came one after another behind him. He was completely forgetful. He had a lot of regrets in his heart and had a lot to say to Xiang Liang.
But in the end, what he said was full of hatred.
Damn it!
Damn Young Master Hao!
Damn the Qin thief!
How dare you kill my uncle!
I want you to pay with blood!
The hatred in Xiang Yu's heart was like a huge wave, making the pupils in his eyes even more terrifying, and blood and tears trickled out.
At this moment, he only had one thought, which was to kill Ying Su and bury Xiang Liang with him.
However, before he could take action, he saw another person running in from the left side of the stall. He looked closely and saw that it was his father Fan Zeng.
"Yu'er, General Xiang!"
Fan Zeng had been hiding in the crowd. Even if Xiang Yu and the others took action, he did not rush out because he was a counselor and fighting naturally had nothing to do with him.
When Zhao Hao started to irritate Wei Bao and others, he realized something was wrong. Later, when Xiang Yu missed a hit, he felt that the situation was lost, so he decisively left the scene and arranged an escape plan.
However, when he returned to the scene again, Xiang Liang had been captured by Ying Su.
Such a scene was far beyond his expectation.
Originally, he was thinking of ways to rescue Xiang Liang, but he never thought that Ying Su would kill Xiang Liang directly.
Again this was unexpected.
What made him even more unexpected was that Xiang Yu, whom he was optimistic about the future, had lost his mind for Xiang Liang and was preparing to fight the Qin army to the death.
How does this work?
At the critical moment, he didn't care so much and risked his life to rush to Xiang Yu.
"Yafu!"
When Xiang Yu saw Fan Zeng, he instantly regained some sense.
But when he heard Fan Zeng calling Xiang Liang, his eyes darkened again, and he said with a cry: "Uncle was killed by Qin thieves, I want to kill them all."
"Yu'er, don't be anxious. This hatred is irreconcilable and we will never forget it. But now is not the time for revenge. The top priority is to get out of here!"
Fan Zeng glanced at Xiang Liang in Xiang Yu's arms and said solemnly.
"But."
Xiang Yu looked hesitant, as if he didn't want to listen to Fan Zeng's words.
Fan Zeng lamented, he knew Xiang Yu's character, he was brave, but he was impulsive and indecisive.
This is also the reason why Xiang Liang has always taken him with him and not let him be alone.
Now that Xiang Liang is dead, Fan Zeng doesn't know who can restrain Xiang Yu. He only hopes that he can take over Xiang Liang's role.
"Yu'er, did General Xiang have any last words before he died?"
Seeing that he could not convince Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng brought the topic to Xiang Liang, hoping that Xiang Liang, who had just died, could give Xiang Yu some final sense.
Sure enough, when Xiang Yu heard Xiang Liang, he suddenly regained consciousness and murmured: "Uncle said there was a traitor and asked me to escape."
"Traitor?"
Fan Zeng raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "General Xiang really said that?"
"Yes!"
Xiang Yu nodded firmly, and then said with fierce eyes: "If it weren't for the traitor's betrayal, how could we have been ambushed? How could my uncle die?!"
"So, there is something really fishy!"
Fan Zeng groaned, and just about to continue speaking, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside: "Kill without mercy!"
"Damn Young Master Hao!!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Xiang Yu's anger began to rise.
Seeing this, Fan Zeng hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Leave here with Yafu quickly!"
"Yafu, me."
Xiang Yu was still struggling in his heart, but the only trace of reason he had left told him that he would really die here if he didn't leave.
The opportunity has been lost. Even if he stays here, he will definitely kill a few Qin thieves and be buried with him. This will be of no use to Chu Xiang's great cause, and it is even more embarrassing for his dead uncle.
Only by saving your own life can you avenge your uncle and complete Chu Xiang's great cause.
After suppressing the unwillingness, humiliation, and hatred in his heart, Xiang Yu glanced at Xiang Liang's body again, only feeling that he was faintly struggling to collapse again.
no!
I must not die here!
Uncle, Yu'er will definitely avenge you in the future! Kill all the people of Qin and burn Xianyang!
The dark teeth bit and blood oozed out. Xiang Yu raised his hand to grab the two arrows on his back and suddenly pulled out the two arrows on his back. Then he carried Xiang Liang's body on his back, grabbed a halberd, and pointed it towards Fan Zeng Said: "Yafu will go first, Yu'er will take the lead for you!"
"good!"
Fan Zeng exclaimed with joy, then waved his hands and said: "Yu'er, follow me, don't look back!"
"Um."
Xiang Yu nodded heavily, and without saying much, he left the stall with Fan Zeng.
At this time, all the Xiang family members who followed Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew to assassinate him were already dead.
When Xiang Yu rushed into the stall just now, they were the ones blocking the stall, struggling to support him.
Now Zhao Xie, Wei Bao and others are also struggling to support themselves. It won't take long before they will be surrounded and killed by the Qin army.
"It's Xiang Yu! Xiang Yu is running away!"
The moment Xiang Yu and the two left the stall, sharp-eyed remnants of the Six Kingdoms immediately spotted them.
"Damn! Damn the Xiang family! They abandoned us!"
"It's them! It's the Xiang family who betrayed us! Ah——!"
"I'm so unwilling! I'm so unwilling—poof—"
As the remnants of the Six Kingdoms shouted hoarsely, the Qin army also discovered Xiang Yu and rushed towards them.
Zhao Hao, who was standing on the carriage, saw this and immediately laughed: "I thought he was a young hero, but I didn't expect he was a rat!"
"Damn dog thief!"
"Yu'er, don't be impulsive!"
Seeing that Xiang Yu was getting hot-headed again, Fan Zeng quickly scolded him.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu took a deep breath, ignored Zhao Hao, quickened his pace, and rushed forward.
At this time, there was another shout from behind.
"Young Master, save me! Young Master!"
"Xiang Yu! We, the old nobles of the six kingdoms, are all in the same spirit, how can you abandon us!"
"snort!"
Xiang Yu snorted coldly and said without looking back: "If you don't listen to my uncle's command, you will die unjustly!"
After saying that, he picked up his neck and ran away again.
Zhao Hao was anxious and was about to speak again when he heard Yang Duanhe beside him say: "Don't worry, sir, I have ordered the four gates of Xianyang to be sealed. They can't escape!"
"General Yang, don't be careless. If my guess is correct, the old man in front of Xiang Yu should be Fan Zeng, the counselor of the Xiang family. This man is very resourceful and should not be underestimated. Moreover, this assassination was planned by him. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I'm afraid that It’s a disaster!”
Yang Duanhe looked solemn when he heard this, and then asked: "Young master, do you mean that they have a way to escape from Xianyang City?"
"If you can't escape, how can you enter the city to assassinate?" Zhao Hao asked seriously.
Yang Duanhe's pupils shrank and he immediately ordered: "Chase me, general! We must not let them escape Xianyang City!"
"promise!"
The cavalry behind him made a promise and immediately rode out.
Young Master frowned and said, "Can they really escape from the city?"
"You can't escape!"
Wu Ya shook his head: "Xianyang is the capital of Qin. You can't just come and leave whenever you want."
"Then my brother, Hao, just now."
"Once people have absolute minds, they will slack off, but once they are in a tight situation, they will not dare to relax. This is human nature."
After hearing Wu Ya's words, the four brothers looked at each other and couldn't help but feel chilled.
At this time, Zhao Hao suddenly interrupted: "Why don't you think about it, am I going to let them go?"
"Um?"
Everyone was surprised.
But I heard Zhao Hao explain with a smile: "These people must have accomplices in the assassination. If they stay in the city, it will just be a few more corpses. If they are let out of the city, they can bring the news of the failed assassination." Give it to your accomplices, make them frightened, and expose your weaknesses!"
"Wonderful!"
Young Master Liangyi slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of that!"
Young Master Ronglu glanced at him and thought, "It's strange that you can think of it!"
The young master smiled and said nothing.
The young master rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Only Wu Ya was thoughtful, and then asked: "No wonder the junior brother wanted to alienate them just now. Is this because he wanted them to be in chaos first, and then catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"I said, I only need to take a slight strike, they are no match for me at all."
Zhao Hao shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.
The young master and the five others looked at each other and really wanted to say, "How awesome are you?"
At the same time, Xianyang Palace.
As soon as Ying Zheng entered the palace, he heard Meng Yi's report that Zhao Hao and others were assassinated, and he couldn't help but be very angry.
Even the oil lamp on the desk was smashed.
At this time, most of his anger had disappeared, and he said solemnly: "What's going on now? Are they injured?"
"Your Majesty, the young masters are safe and sound. Yang Duan and the general seem to have expected it and are already rounding up the assassins!" Meng Yi bowed and replied.
"Did you expect that?"
Ying Zheng was stunned: "What does this mean?"
"It is said that Gongzi Hao and others were intercepted and killed twice, once by the Wei River and once in Xianyang City. The assassination by the Wei River was done by Mozi's faction, and the assassination in Xianyang City was done by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. !”
"but."
As he said that, Meng Yi changed the topic and continued: "The assassination in Xianyang City is different from the assassination by the Wei River, because at the assassination location, the Imperial Army has already been ambushed, and it seems that they are waiting for them to assassinate!"
"So, there is a spy inside the assassin? And this spy is one of ours?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling a little funny.
You don't need to think about it to know that this must be Zhao Hao's handiwork.
When he was in the Black Ice Platform prison, he threatened to break into the enemy.
Now it seems that what this kid said has really been done by him.
But how did he do it?
Could it be that Zhang Liang?
Thinking of the assassin Zhang Liang who Zhao Hao let go privately, Ying Zheng felt a little surprised, and then continued to ask: "Did you just say that Mozi's group also committed an assassination?"
"Yes!"
Meng Yi nodded and said: "It is said that Mozi's group first assassinated Zhang Shaofu in the stadium, and then assassinated the young masters. Fortunately, Wang Li arrived in time and saved the young masters!"
"snort!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said solemnly: "When I unified the six countries, I ignored them, but now I am becoming more and more wanton. Do you really think I can't subdue them?"
"That young man"
"Don't worry about him, let him do it. That kid is very smart, nothing will happen to him!"
Ying Zheng waved his hands in relief, and then as if he remembered something, he said, "How is the trial of Zhao Gao's case going?"
"this"
Meng Yi didn't expect that Ying Zheng's topic would change so quickly, and couldn't help but froze in place.
Ying Zheng glanced at him, then picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and asked calmly: "Meng Yi, how many years have you known me?"
"Um"
Meng Yi came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and replied respectfully: "Meng Yi trained horses with his elder brother when he was young, and first met Your Majesty. It has been more than twenty-three years now!"
"wrong!"
"Um?"
"You have known me for more than twenty-three years, but I have known you for twenty-six years!"
"Ah? This"
Meng Yi was obviously so surprised by Ying Zheng's words that he was speechless.
Twenty-six years? Doesn't it mean that His Majesty just returned to Qin not long ago?
"What? You don't believe it?"
Seeing that Meng Yi didn't speak, Ying Zheng asked him funny questions.
Meng Yi quickly handed over his hand: "I believe in your Majesty's words, but I didn't expect that your Majesty would meet me so early!"
"Is it early? Actually it's not early!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I wish I had known you earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have taken so many detours!"
Meng Yi was shocked when he heard this.
He naturally understood the meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
When Ying Zheng returned to the Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei was in charge of the government, and the princes were fighting openly and secretly, and the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was careless. She was really isolated and helpless.
Fortunately, the Meng family secretly supported him, allowing him to gradually gain a foothold.
Moreover, the reason why the Meng family supports Ying Zheng has a lot to do with Meng Tian.
This is also the reason why Ying Zheng later trusted Meng Tian very much.
"I know that I have many shortcomings, and the people around me also have shortcomings."
Ying Zheng continued leisurely: "However, I don't know everything about family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs."
The more Meng Yi listened, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but bury his head lower.
Although he also won the trust of the First Emperor, he still understood the principle of accompanying a king like a tiger.
"For example, I use Zhao Gao because he is quite capable, so I keep using him!"
"You see, his attainments in Qin law are not inferior to Li Si's, but I use Li Si highly and reward Li Si highly, but I never reward him greatly, but only secretly reward him. Why is this?"
"I don't know, please let your Majesty make it clear!"
Meng Yi wiped the non-existent sweat in his heart and answered cautiously.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said calmly: "Because fundamentally, he is different from you!"
"Some of you are like clouds and some are like water. Although you do different things, you are all my loyal ministers. There are no treacherous ministers!"
"And the imperial court is just a few palaces and yamen. You still have to eat separately!"
"After all, how can a human compete with a dog for food?"
"Your Majesty! I am guilty!"
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Yi could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and quickly knelt down and bowed his head.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he ignored it and just continued to talk to himself: "People in the world always accuse me of being a tyrant. The emperors of Zhou have been dissolute and unkind to the people for generations, but they highly respect me. Why is this?"
"Because they regard Emperor Zhou as their father!"
"How can a son scold his father? You think so?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Meng Yi kowtowed in response.
Ying Zheng smiled and continued: "Now that our Qin Dynasty has replaced the Zhou Dynasty, I am the emperor. Logically speaking, they are also my sons. How come I have become such a father?"
"The son doesn't recognize me as his father, or the grandson doesn't recognize me as the grandfather?"
When Meng Yi heard this, his face twitched and sweat rolled out of his forehead.
He finally heard that Ying Zheng was pointing out that he was dishonest.
"Someone once said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are clear, there will be no disciples. I will give this sentence to you now. I hope you will serve the Qin Dynasty well, share the worries for me, the emperor, and don't let your father down!"
"I have noted it down."
Meng Yi kowtowed again.
Ying Zheng waved his hand expressionlessly: "Go and bring Zhao Gao, I want to see him."
"promise."
Meng Yi agreed, bowed and got up, not daring to look at Ying Zheng, and then hurriedly left the emperor's study.
