Outside Xiapi City, Xiang Yu, Ji Bu and Xiang Sheng were guarding three carriages, heading south slowly. On the side of the road, Zhang Liang and Zhang Buyi saw each other off. Not far away, Xiang Liang and Xiang Sheng

Zhuang also returned the gift with his hand, and everyone said goodbye to each other. After a long time, Xiang Liang and Xiang Zhuang got on their horses and chased Xiang Yu and others.

Looking at their retreating figures, Zhang Liang sighed, Xiang Jiawen has Xiang Zhuang and Wu has Xiang Yu. In the future, they may be unstoppable...

Not far away, Xiang Liang and Xiang Zhuang caught up with Xiang Yu and others who were marching. Xiang Liang returned to his heart like an arrow and ordered everyone to speed up. Xiang Yu and others accelerated their horses, and everyone rushed south along the galloping road.

go.

On the way, Xiang Liang's heart was in confusion. Zhang Liang's words yesterday always echoed in his heart, "The land east of the Yangtze River, far away from Guanzhong and blocked by the river, is a good place to make the country rich and prosperous!" These words took root like weeds.

It kept wandering in Xiang Liang's mind. The Qin State was currently in political turmoil. Sooner or later, there would be storms and turmoil in all directions. What position would the Xiang family be in?

Should we support our troops to stand on our own, or should we support the descendants of the Chu State and dominate one side? And where are the descendants of the Chu State at this time? Even if we find the descendants of the Chu State, can we gain a foothold and revitalize the Chu State?

These problems, like the constant cutting of black hair, troubled Xiang Liang, making Xiang Liang extremely upset. In his irritation, his eyes fell on Xiang Zhuang. This nephew was becoming more and more mature, which made him feel relieved.

Among the two descendants of the Xiang family, Xiang Yu is superior in military force, and Xiang Zhuang is versatile in both civil and military affairs. Although not as powerful as Xiang Yu, his calmness is the most important.

In the days to come, Xiang Liang hopes that Xiang Zhuang can take over the Xiang family, dominate the country, overthrow the Qin Dynasty, and restore Chu's old land. However, judging from the current situation, all this is still too far away, and he doesn't know if he can wait.

this day.

Looking back on these years, I really shouldn't have invested all my energy in Xiang Yu. This son has a bad temper, is too violent, kills too much, and his hatred for the Qin people has penetrated deep into his bones. But Xiang Zhuang is not like that. This time he entered Xianyang

, made moderate friends, did not show due hatred towards the Qin people, and hid his sharp edge deeply. From this point alone, Xiang Liang felt that this child Xiang Zhuang was definitely not simple. Thinking about it, Xiang Liang's

His eyes were gradually attracted to Xiang Zhuang.

After days of traveling, everyone was exhausted. After passing through Xiaxiang, they changed their route and took Xu County, entered Jiujiang, and crossed the Yangtze River, not far from Kuaiji.

At this time, everyone was traveling on a rugged mountain road. After heavy rain, the road was muddy and difficult to navigate. The carriages got stuck in mud pits from time to time, making the journey extremely difficult.

The paozi road in front of him is the most difficult to walk. As long as you pass this section, you can turn to a flat galloping road. Despite this, Xiang Liang is still a little melancholy. According to the original plan, he has already taken the boat.

, crossed the Yangtze River and entered eastward, but at this time, the team was held back in Jiujiang. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh.

Xiang Zhuang was covered in mud at this time. Seeing his uncle's depressed look, he had to step forward to comfort him. He tied the reins behind the carriage, hurried a few steps to Xiang Liang's side, and took the reins from Xiang Liang's hand.

He smiled and said, "Has uncle been sick these days? Why is he always so listless?"

Xiang Liang put the riding whip into the horse bag and said with a smile: "I'm old, and my journey will be delayed for a few days on the road. I'm always uneasy, as if something is going to happen."

"What can happen in these barren mountains? Even if there are bandits, uncle doesn't need to be afraid. Brother Yu and I are here, it will be fine." On the side, Xiang Yu also smiled and said: "Uncle, you are really old, don't say that.

Bandits, even if there are a few brown bears, I will kill them to fill my stomach!"

Xiang Yu's words made everyone laugh. They were in a good mood and marched much faster. After a whole morning of arduous march, everyone finally walked out of this stretch of paozi road and arrived at the widest and largest galloping road in Jiujiang County. The road was smooth and everyone

He got on his horse, took a deep breath, and rode the horse forward quickly.

Xiang Zhuang rode his horse to Xiang Liang's side and said with a smile: "Uncle, there are still dozens of miles ahead to the Wujiang River. From there, take a ferry, go east along the river, and disembark from Moling. We will be home soon!"

"Yeah, I wonder how Uncle Xiang is doing in Kuaiji. I'm so looking forward to it!" Xiang Liang couldn't help but laugh out loud when he said his excitement. On the side, Xiang Yu also followed suit and said, "I'm not in a hurry to go to Kuaiji now. I just want to go to Kuaiji."

I hope to find a place to wash myself and remove the dirt on my body, otherwise I will turn into a clay figure when I get to Kuaiji."

Everyone laughed. At this time, Ji Bu, who was clearing the way, raised his right hand and shouted: "Stop!"

Several coachmen hurriedly pulled up the carriage. At this time, Ji Bu came galloping on his horse and said in front of Xiang Liang: "Uncle Liang, there is faint dust flying in front, it seems that an army is coming."

Xiang Liang was startled and immediately ordered: "Yu'er, go ahead and take a look. If there is a Qin army, let's take a detour and go south."

Xiang Yu handed over his hand and left with Xiang Sheng and Ji Bu. Xiang Zhuang was afraid that Xiang Yu and others would be missed, so he followed closely behind. Xiang Liang ordered several coachmen to slow down their horses and drive behind.

Not long after, Xiang Yu and others lined up in a line, everyone holding weapons in their hands and staring ahead. Where the dust rose, more than ten cavalrymen came galloping. They were wearing light gray military robes, which was not what the Qin army used to wear. Xiang Yu raised the corners of his mouth.

, said with a ferocious smile: "Wait until I kill these little brats who are blocking the way!"

He clenched his long spear with both hands, roared, and prepared to charge out. On the side, Xiang Zhuang pulled Xiang Yu's reins and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!"

Soon, Xiang Zhuang finally saw clearly that there was a deep scar on the face of the visitor, but the scar was the word "prison". When he identified the person carefully, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and found that the person who came was Tabu.

Xiang Zhuang pressed down the long spear that Xiang Yu had raised and said with a smile: "This is an old friend. Brother, please don't act rashly."

At this time, Yingbu's excited laughter sounded from a distance: "Is it Brother Xiangzhuang? Is it really you?"

Xiang Zhuang also rode his horse to greet him. After the two dismounted, they hugged each other tightly. Ying Bu laughed and said, "I was worried that you had already passed by another way. It's great to meet here!"

After saying that, Ying Bu saw several people and three carriages standing not far behind Xiang Zhuang, and asked in surprise: "Who are they?"

"These are my family members. We are going to settle in Jiangdong." Xiangzhuang cupped his hands and said with a smile. At this time, Yingbu also laughed and said: "I only found out after asking around that you have moved to Kuaiji, and I am in the Liyang area."

But we’ve been waiting for half a month. Let’s go. I’ve placed some fine wine and delicacies on the bank of the Wujiang River for us to get drunk.”

After saying that, Qingbu got on his horse, came to Xiang Liang, raised his hands and saluted: "Junior Qingbu, I have met Mr. Xiang."

...

Next to the Wujiang River, on a big rock, there were several packages of cooked food and several bottles of old wine. Everyone was sitting around. Xiang Zhuang was introducing them one by one: "This is the second uncle, this is Brother Yu..."

Tingbu stood up and saluted one by one. After about a stick of incense, everyone took their seats. Tingbu opened several jars of old wine, and an attendant brought several wine bowls.

Brother Xiang has not seen you for a long time. I want to toast Brother Xiang with this bowl of wine first to thank Brother Xiang for saving his life."

Ting Bu drank it all in one gulp, Xiang Liang glanced at him and said with a smile: "What kind of life-saving grace? Let me tell you."

Ting Bu put down the wine bowl, cupped his hands and smiled: "At that time, I was working as a corvee in Lishan Mountain. I was caught for escaping and was beaten severely. If Brother Xiang hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of those bastards that day!"

Speaking of this, Qingbu was extremely angry. Xiangzhuang waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's a small effort, but it's not worth mentioning."

After a pause, Xiang Zhuang smiled again and said: "Why does Brother Yingbu appear here? Has the work on the Lishan Imperial Tomb stopped?"

Ting Bu shook his head and sighed: "The construction of the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum did not stop because of the construction of Afang Palace. Instead, the number of corvees increased. I heard that the First Emperor wanted to expand it by another hundred feet, so that's why."

Speaking of this, Qingbu looked at everyone and said: "Since the entrapment case, Xianyang was banned, Fusu was forced to go north, Meng Yi was imprisoned, and Brother Xiang was missing. I also took a few brothers and took the opportunity.

I escaped from Mount Li and wandered across the sea. Later, I heard that Wu Rui, the leader of Poyang, was sincere and could accommodate heroes from all over the world, and that the place was remote and suitable for shelter, so he came here to join us."

Speaking of this, Qing Bu raised his glass and took a sip, pointed at the entourage, and said with a smile: "Wu Rui admired my talent and married his daughter to me. Since then, I have settled in Poyang. Moreover, Poyang belongs to Lujiang County, and the government's management is loose.

No one will care about my past, and my life is quite comfortable."

"Then I want to congratulate Brother Yingbu." Xiang Zhuang cupped his hands and said with a smile.

At this time, Xiang Liang, who was silent all the time, asked: "Lujiang County is adjacent to Kuaiji County. I wonder what the situation is in Kuaiji County at this time?"

Tingbu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I have never been to Kuaiji County, but I heard that Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, has average political performance, but he turns a blind eye to his subordinates, especially the court, because Kuaiji is too far away.

Basically, they ignored it, making Kuaiji County become Yin Tong's exclusive territory, with administrative and military power all in Yin Tong's hands.

After saying that, Ting Bu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Don't discuss these worldly issues, let's have a few drinks."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank. Only Xiang Liang had something on his mind and only took a sip. If according to what Yingbu said, the governor of Kuaiji should be a person who is ambitious and has high vision but low hand. Then, he should have come to Kuaiji at the right time.

Moreover, according to my own analysis, I am afraid that in the Jiangdong area, not only Kuaiji County has gradually escaped from the control of the Qin State, I am afraid that the other counties and counties will not be much better.

This is such a useful place! Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh to himself.

I don't know when the sun had quietly slipped to the west. At this time, everyone was full of wine and food. He stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, pointed to the river port not far away, and said with a smile: "There will be a time to gather and disperse, I will prepare another boat

Clippers will take you across the river. If the Xiang family needs anything in the future, please feel free to come to Poyang to find me."

Xiang Zhuang also returned the gift and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to cross the river?"

Ting Bu shook his head, pointed to the north and said with a smile, "My home is in Six Counties, and I'm going to go home."

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said goodbye, and Qingbu said goodbye to Xiang Liang and others one by one. At this time, Xiang Liang and others had boarded the boat and were ready to set off. Qingbu waved his hands on the shore and shouted: "Brother Xiang, remember to come to Poyang, we

Get drunk again!"
