Walking out of the woods, along the foot of Dang Mountain, everyone slowly walked westward. Soon, a small thatched pavilion appeared in front of them. Liu Bang was a drinker, and his alcohol addiction was on the rise. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Xiangzhuang today,

Save my life. According to the custom of our Chu people, I will drink wine to thank you."

Liu Bang pointed to the thatched pavilion not far ahead and said with a smile: "That's Daze. There is a thatched pavilion. Let's go there and have a few drinks before we continue on our way."

Xiang Zhuang wanted to refuse, but Liu Bang enthusiastically took Xiang Zhuang's arm and walked towards the Maoting. The two were helpless. Zhang Buji asked the accompanying man to take care of the horses and walked towards the Maoting with Xiang Zhuang.

In the pavilion, an old woman was busy. When she saw three people entering, the old woman put down her work and came towards them. Her voice was slightly hoarse: "I wonder what the three guests want?"

"Here comes a plate of squid, two pounds of wild boar meat, and three pots of wine." Liu Bang said with a smile.

The old woman wiped the table with a rag and turned away. At this time, Liu Bang looked at the old woman's back and said with a smile: "Every time I escort a prisoner, I come here to have a drink. After drinking, I feel energetic and can travel several miles a day.

Never feel tired."

All three people laughed. After a while, the old woman put the food and wine on the table one by one, and said with a hoarse voice: "Guests, please take your time."

The old woman left. Liu Bang quickly poured a glass of wine for each of them and said with a smile: "I'd like to toast everyone."

After thirty years of drinking, both Liu Bang and Zhang Buyi were drunk, but for Xiang Zhuang, who was practicing martial arts and had a slight immunity to alcohol, he didn't feel anything about it yet. But at this time, Liu Bang took advantage of the alcohol and sighed:

"Recalling how powerful the state of Chu was in those days, with its fertile fields thousands of miles away, now the state of Qin is unified and has a series of harsh regimes. Every year, countless prisoners are transported to Yueyang, and every time they give orders, we must not be delayed on the journey. If we are delayed, we will be beheaded."

Liu Bang said this, took a big sip of wine, and said: "It's already very difficult for us to travel across mountains and rivers to Xianyang, and they still want to do this to us!"

Xiang Zhuang saw that Liu Bang was getting more and more outrageous, so he had to push him gently. However, Liu Bang was a little drunk and couldn't stop talking nonsense. He continued talking nonsense for a while and then started to pour wine into his mouth. At this time, Zhang Buyu sighed softly.

With a sound, he looked at Liu Bang and asked: "Brother Liu, why don't you resign as the pavilion chief and farm in the countryside, or go out and do some business?"

Liu Bang was already drunk at this time, and his words were unclear. He only roared: "I have just married a lovely wife. I need to run around for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. How can I have spare money for business? What's more, the Qin Dynasty's tax revenue for a year

More than a year, if you farm, you will starve to death sooner or later!"

He took another sip, but Liu Bang's wine flask was empty. Just as he was about to turn around and ask for wine, he was stopped by Xiang Zhuang. At this time, Zhang Buyi saw that Liu Bang was not talking to him, so he stopped talking. The two of them helped Liu Bang up and left him.

A few copper coins and walked out of the pavilion.

...

The sun was setting in the west, and the city gate of Yu County would be closed in half an hour. Liu Bang had sobered up by this time, but his legs were still a bit unruly. At this time, he was not far from Yu County.

Knowing that the two were going to stay in Yu County for the night, Liu Bang had no choice but to dismount and say goodbye to the two of them: "Drinking today made me lose my temper. You two worthy brothers should not blame me."

"Brother Liu is a gentle man, we won't care." Xiang Zhuang said with a smile.

Zhang Buyi also held up his hands and said with a smile: "If Brother Liu doesn't give up, you might as well come into the city and live with us, and we can start our journey again tomorrow."

"I appreciate the brotherhood, but the road to Yueyang is long. We can't delay on the way, otherwise we will lose our heads if we miss the date." Liu Bang made a gesture of cutting his neck and said with a wry smile: "He

If you have a chance someday, you two will come to Fengxiang. I have a brother who is famous for making dog meat. When the time comes, I will treat you two to a drink."

The person Liu Bang was referring to must be Fan Kuai. He was a famous butcher in Fengxiang and a famous general in Han Dynasty. However, Xiang Zhuang didn't want to point it out, so he just held up his hand and said with a smile: "Then it's settled, Brother Liu, Yu County City

The door is almost closing, let’s just say goodbye.”

...

"Dong dong dong..." After several rounds of drums, the Yuxian city gate slowly closed. The soldiers responsible for guarding the city closed the city gate and returned to their posts, holding big guns and standing guard.

Not far away, in Xiangzhuang, which had just entered the city, Zhang Buyi and others were walking in the street. Night was approaching, and there were very few pedestrians in the street. Soon, they found an inn, and the guys tied their horses to the stakes.

Xiang Zhuang carried Hong Ying and Yan Sun's bow, Zhang Buyi's assistant helped carry the horse bag, and the four of them arrived at the inn.

"Boss, do you have a room?" Zhang Buyi asked loudly. Soon, an old man came out and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, how many guests are there?"

"Give me three rooms. I'm preparing four side dishes and two bottles of wine. We've been traveling all day and we're hungry." Zhang Buji said, walking to an empty table and sitting down. Xiang Zhuang also came and sat opposite.

Next, two waiters stood on both sides. Zhang Buyi looked at the waiters and said with a smile: "Sit down, everyone. You don't have to be so particular when you are away from home."

Soon, the food and wine arrived. Zhang Buyu picked up the pot and poured wine for Xiang Zhuang. The two drank a glass together. At this time, Zhang Buyu said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, what do you think of Liu Bang?"

Xiang Zhuang didn't expect that Zhang Buyi would suddenly ask about Liu Bang. He thought for a moment and couldn't help but sneer. Liu Bang is no different from a ruffian. He just has a flexible mind and is good at making some clever tricks. He never takes it to heart, but he never takes it to heart.

Judging from today's conversation with Liu Bang, this man seems to be very concerned about national affairs. He can actually analyze from his name that he is after Xiang Yan. After all, this man has some abilities.

On the side, Zhang Buyi saw that Xiang Zhuang did not answer him, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiang...Brother Xiang...what are you thinking about?"

Being interrupted by Zhang Buyu, Xiang Zhuang raised his glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "What do you think of this person?"

"I think Liu Bang is too flamboyant and not worthy of close friendship." Zhang Buyu also took a sip and said with a smile.

The two had the same opinion, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing, "In the future, you will see what kind of person Liu Bang is."

...

At night, both Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Buyi drank a lot of wine and talked a lot. About one watch later, Xiang Zhuang returned to his room. At this time, the moon was already high in the sky. When he opened the window, Xiang Zhuang was leaning on the window sill.

, looking at the night outside the window, the ancient nights were extraordinarily dark, making the stars in the sky particularly bright.

It’s been almost half a month since I left Xiangxiang. I wonder if my second uncle, Brother Yu, Long Qie, and Ji Bu are all okay? Third uncle Xiang Bo, it’s time for me to rush back to Xiangxiang with my younger brother Xiang You.

?It would be great if the family could be reunited.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang's thoughts couldn't help but fall on Cao Feng. This little girl had not seen him since the last time he came to Xiapi with Uncle Cao. In the blink of an eye, he had walked around Xiapi. I don't know.

Will she take photos during this period? If she does, will she think of herself?

If she knew that the Xiang family would move to Kuaiji in the near future, I don’t know how she would feel, and whether she would go to Kuaiji to find her. Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang felt a little sad for some reason in his heart.

A touch of loneliness.

The thoughts turned from Cao Feng to Liu Bang. What will be the fate of Liu Bang, the future hero?

Xiang Zhuang really couldn't remember how he established a powerful Han Dynasty and how it prospered, but Liu Bang relied on his tyrant Zhang Liang to enter Guanzhong before Xiang Yu. No one can change this.

It has been more than ten years since I came to this era, and my memories of later generations have gradually become blurred. I really don’t know if, in a few years, I will still remember that I was once an unlucky young man from later generations...

...

Suiyang, located to the north of Sui River, is a large county town and the seat of Dang County.

After half a month's journey, Xiang Zhuang, Zhang Buyi and others finally arrived at Suiyang City. The city wall was towering into the clouds, and flags were planted on it. Everyone in the Qin army held big guns and stared into the distance. On the large city gate, there was a huge plaque.

, with the words Suiyang City engraved on it in small seals.

Under the city, on both sides of the city gate, there were giant deer. Behind the giant deer was the place where the Suiyang defenders patrolled. There were also many Qin soldiers holding big guns, checking passers-by.

Xiang Zhuang and others stayed in the distance for a while, rode their horses, and headed towards Suiyang City. As long as they escorted Zhang Buyi to Suiyang, their mission would be completed. Xiang Zhuang felt relieved at this time.

"Who? Stop!" Several Qin soldiers quickly surrounded Xiang Zhuang and others. A young officer wearing leather armor squinted at Xiang Zhuang and others and sneered: "The country has regulations that privately forged weapons are not allowed. This

It’s a ban!”

After the young officer finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Xiang Zhuang's horses, a sword, a bow, and five or six feather arrows. Is this blatant resistance to the king's law?

The young officer couldn't help snorting coldly, turned back to look at the soldiers, and shouted coldly: "Take them away and leave them to Lord Sima to make a decision!"

Several soldiers raised their swords and surrounded them. Xiang Zhuang unconsciously held his hand on the hilt of the sword, trying to wait for an opportunity. However, at this moment, Zhang Buyu laughed loudly and said: "Master, don't be angry, we

I’m from Xiapi, so I don’t know the rules in your area, so please forgive me.”

Zhang Buyi reached out and took out a bag of copper coins from the horse bag, and said with a smile: "The road is dangerous, and if you don't bring weapons, you may encounter bandits. Besides, we are just using it for self-defense, and we have no ill intentions. We hope that Jun Ye will forgive you.

Let us enter the city."

The officer took the money bag and turned it around. It was very heavy and he couldn't help but smile. "I think you are young and can't make any waves. Today, I will let you go."

The officer turned around and shouted: "Let's go."

Seeing the officer gradually walking away, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but cursed: "What the hell!"

Zhang Buyi held the horse and patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder with a smile, "These bullies are like this. Brother Xiang, don't take it personally. It's getting late. Let's go into the city."

...

Entering Suiyang City, the wide streets came into view. Zhang Buji ordered the assistant to lead the horse and book an inn, while he and Xiang Zhuang wandered in the street. Suiyang City is very big, and it deserves to be the county seat of Dang County. Moreover, there are many people walking in the street.

There were many soldiers patrolling. After a while, the two came to a small bridge. A clear river flowed south. Zhang Buyu smiled and said, after crossing the bridge, you will be on the right side of the city.

The street was bustling with people coming and going in an endless stream. Xiang Zhuang and Zhang Buyi walked for half an hour before reaching their destination. Zhang Buyi pointed at the tall mansion in front and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, this is Canghai Jun's Mansion.

"

Canghaijun's Mansion? Is this the Canghaijun who helped Zhang Liang hire dead soldiers? After walking around for a long time, it turned out that they wanted to visit Canghaijun, but judging from Zhang Buyi's familiarity with the roads, he should be more than
Chapter completed!
