Chapter 07 The Night Banquet in Fuchu

Zhang Buyi left. Zhang Liang put away his thoughts and walked around the house. Soon, Uncle Xiang's hearty laughter came from outside the door: "I'm going to bother Brother Gongsun again."

"Between you and me, why are you so polite? Hahaha..." Zhang Liang quickly came forward to catch Uncle Xiang and said, "Xiang Zhuang's nephew is coming from far away. How can I, the uncle, ignore him?"

?”

Both of them laughed and took their seats one after another. Xiang Zhuang and Xiang You also sat in their respective seats under the guidance of Zhang Buyi. Several maids brought drinks and filled everyone's glasses before turning and leaving.

At this moment, Zhang Liang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Let's drink a toast to Xiang Zhuang's nephew who has come all the way."

After three rounds of drinking, the maids were refilling the wine. Zhang Liang looked at Xiang Zhuang and couldn't help but smile: "My nephew has come all the way this time. What's the matter?"

Zhang Liang seemed to feel that his words were a bit abrupt. After all, this was a family matter of the Xiang family, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm just curious to ask. If it's inconvenient, there's no need to say anything."

Xiang Zhuang glanced at Xiang Bo and saw that he was deep in thought. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "To be honest with Uncle Gongsun, there is nothing important when I come here this time. It's just that the government has forgotten about the case of the third uncle. The second uncle thinks that the third uncle can be let go."

Uncle is home."

"Oh...that's it." Zhang Liang nodded with a smile, turned to Uncle Xiang, and sighed: "Brother Xiang and I have been together for five years. Now if Brother Xiang leaves, I will really feel sad to leave him."

Sighing slightly, Zhang Liang brought the topic back, looked at Xiang Zhuang with a surprised look, and asked: "Does my nephew really not understand music?"

When Zhang Liang suddenly asked, Xiang Zhuang was slightly stunned, but soon, Xiang Zhuang understood that Zhang Liang must be confused by what he said during the day. He might have thought that the Xiang family already knew that he was Zhang Liang's secret, but

It is best not to mention this kind of thing, so as not to attract Zhang Liang's attention. Xiang Zhuang pondered for a moment and replied: "Back then, under the Prime Minister, there was a wandering old man who liked to play Korean songs in the street in exchange for some money.

Or food, I only became interested in Korean music after listening to him play it."

Xiang Zhuang also knew that his reason was a bit far-fetched, but for a while, he had no better excuse to avoid Zhang Liang. At this time, Zhang Liang seemed to be deep in thought. He stared at the wine glass and remained silent for a long time. At this time,

Zhang Buyu, who was standing by, noticed his father's gaffe and hurriedly coughed, breaking the silence in the room.

Zhang Liang felt that he had lost his temper, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "I just asked casually, come on, let's have a drink."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all one by one. At this time, Zhang Buyi looked at Xiang Zhuang. He couldn't see anything different about Xiang Zhuang. But why did his father keep talking to this person?

This was indescribably weird. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Buyu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang Zhuang, this is the first time we met, so I'd like to toast you."

Xiang Zhuang stood up and had a drink with Zhang Buyi. The two drank their glasses. Zhang Buyi smiled dryly and said: "Since Brother Xiang Zhuang said that you have no research on music, I think Brother Xiang Zhuang must be very interested in literature."

There is research.”

Zhang Buyi's words had a strong smell of gunpowder. Xiang Zhuang was displeased, but his face did not show it at all. He only smiled and said: "The Xiang family has been Chu generals for generations, and the family education is strict. What I have learned is only superficial, but my uncle

I dare not forget the teachings I have taught since childhood.”

"Oh?...I wonder what the teachings Brother Xiang Zhuang is referring to?" As soon as Zhang Buyi opened his mouth, Xiang Zhuang laughed loudly and said: "Wen can bring order to the world with his pen, but military force can use his horse to control the country!"

As soon as Xiang Zhuang's words came out, everyone couldn't help but applaud. Zhang Liang also slowly savored Xiang Zhuang's words in his heart. Wen can bring peace to the world with his pen, and his military can mount a horse to control the country. What kind of courage is this? He is worthy of being the queen of the generals. He thought so

As he looked, Zhang Liang's eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiang Bo, and he said with a smile: "The Xiang family is indeed the queen of the general family. I think Xiang Zhuang's nephew's future will be limitless!"

"Brother Gongsun, you're too polite. Children are talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

Seeing that Uncle Xiang was humble, Zhang Liang waved his hand and said: "Brother Xiang's words are wrong. I have seen that Xiang Zhuang's nephew has a bright future, and the Xiang family will surely thrive again..."

Inside the house, everyone laughed again...

...

After the banquet, Gongsun Mansion once again returned to its former peace. Zhang Buyi replaced his father and sent Xiang Bo and others back to the east courtyard, and arranged for his servants to prepare a room for Xiang Zhuang to rest. However, Zhang Liang was already a little drunk at this time.

, so that he had to go back to the room alone and sit for a while.

Judging from Xiang Zhuang's deliberate avoidance of his questions about music, Xiang Zhuang seems to really know something, but he also deliberately avoids his own topic. This makes Zhang Liangzhong somewhat unhappy, but this does not mean that Xiang Zhuang

The family already knows about his identity, otherwise, Xiang Bo has been with him for so many years, and there will definitely be clues.

Thinking like this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh deeply and looked at the table unconsciously.

A book of Taigong's Art of War was placed in front of Zhang Liang. Over the years, Zhang Liang had been studying this book hard, hoping that one day he would have the opportunity to restore his country. But back then, when he was desperate and confused and helpless, he met a man under a bridge.

I met a strange old man. His words and deeds were very strange and puzzling. But at that time, the old man gave me a book for no reason, a book that could change my destiny. This book

This is the Taigong Art of War on the table at this time.

When the old man presented the book as a gift, he once said: "If you read this book well, you can become the teacher of the king. Ten years later, you will be able to help rejuvenate the country."

Just a few words, but Zhang Liang's desire to restore the country is getting stronger day by day. Today, Xiang Zhuang's words made Zhang Liang even more emotional. If his son has no doubts, he can become a man who is proficient in both civil and military arts.

, why worry that the Qin Dynasty cannot be overthrown, and Korea cannot be revived!

But today's encounter with Xiang Zhuang made Zhang Liang understand that the descendants of the Six Kingdoms are not mediocre people. Maybe the Qin Dynasty will really be overthrown, and he may be the founder of the restoration of the country, and South Korea will surely thrive again.

"Wen can bring peace to the world with his pen, and martial power can control the country." This sentence echoed in Zhang Liang's mind again. How could such a bold statement be uttered by a child who was only ten//eight//nine// years old?

Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel that the Xiang family's ambition was definitely not as simple as taking refuge to be a minister. Xiang Zhuang's trip to the north and inviting Uncle Xiang back definitely had some purpose, but what exactly they wanted to do, Zhang Liang couldn't guess at this moment.

But what is certain is that they are also waiting for the opportunity to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and restore the old Chu.

Just imagine, after Xiang Yan's death in battle, the state of Chu collapsed and was finally defeated. Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo would never sink. The state of Chu would definitely rise again, but I don't know what role they would play. Will they just stand alone or become the state of Chu?

Support the descendants of the Chu State, but judging from the current situation, the Qin Dynasty is still strong and cannot be shaken overnight. However, judging from Xiang Zhuang's conversation and knowledge, in the future, this son will be a rare general. If he is a son

There is no doubt that it is a good thing to have a close friendship with this person. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang got up and walked around the room.

Outside the house, the voice of his son Zhang Buyi could be heard vaguely talking to the housekeeper: "Is father asleep?"

"Master hasn't rested yet."

The sudden appearance of his son gave Zhang Liang a way to get close to Xiangzhuang. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy and shouted loudly outside the house: "Let Buyi come in."

"Okay, sir." The old butler's voice sounded.

...

The door was slowly opened, and Zhang Buyi walked into the house. The light was extremely dark. It took a long time for Zhang Buyi to see clearly that his father was standing in front of the window and staring out the window. Soon, Zhang Liang's hoarse voice sounded: "

Are they all asleep?"

When his father asked, Zhang Buyu replied: "It's time to go to bed, but that Xiang Zhuang doesn't seem to have the habit of going to bed early. When I left, the light in his room was still on."

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, looked back at his son, and said softly: "Sit down."

Zhang Buyi nodded and sat on the soft seat. At this time, Zhang Liang closed the window, returned to the desk and sat down. He looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "I have something for you to handle."

"Please give me your father's instructions."

Zhang Liang was very satisfied with his son's attitude and said slowly: "I have a letter that I want to give to Cang Haijun, but you have not liked martial arts since you were a child. I am very worried about your safety along the way, so I hope you can invite Xiang Haijun."

Zhuang, let’s go together.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang stopped talking and looked directly at Zhang Buyi. Zhang Buyi looked a little confused at this time. After a long time, he said in surprise: "Father, our Gongsun family has no shortage of dead soldiers. I will go back and find two who are skilled in martial arts."

We can just go together, why invite Xiangzhuang? Besides, if he is new here, he may not be willing to go with me."

His son did not understand his intention. Zhang Liang looked slightly displeased and scolded: "What do you know...!"

After a brief silence, Zhang Liang said again: "In my opinion, Xiang Zhuang's talents are no longer inferior to yours. It can be seen from his words and deeds that he is a martial arts practitioner. I only hope that you can make more friends."

Such a young man."

Zhang Buyu did not dare to disobey his father's tough attitude, so he could only nod, "Son, I will remember it."

Zhang Liang saw Zhang Buyi's perfunctory and was slightly displeased, but he couldn't blame him. Xiang Zhuang was indeed outstanding today and had completely suppressed Zhang Buyi. But this world is a world of the weak and the strong, and Cheng Wang

In the world of defeated enemies, only by letting Zhang Buyi get in touch with people who are more capable than him can he learn more. Moreover, if there is a chance to overthrow the Qin Dynasty in the future, and people from all directions gather together, how can they help South Korea and how can they assist?

For South Korea to become prosperous and powerful, it is not enough to rely solely on oneself. I am already nearly forty years old, and the future world belongs to their young people. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to train Zhang Buyu early.

Soon, Zhang Liang picked up the letter he wrote to Cang Haijun on the desk and handed it to Zhang Buyi. After he took it, Zhang Liang asked: "How do you plan to invite Xiang Zhuang?"

"I'll go directly to him tomorrow."

Zhang Liang sighed and shook his head: "If this is the case, he can have hundreds or even thousands of reasons to reject you. Then, what should you do?"

Zhang Liang's question hit the nail on the head. Zhang Buyi really didn't think about it so much. He couldn't help but ask: "What should I do based on my father's wishes?"

His son was still too young and did not know how to use the wind to steer the ship. Zhang Liang had to say clearly: "You can go directly to your Uncle Xiang and ask him to accompany you to the west. In this case, your Uncle Xiang will not be able to return home in a short time."

In the next phase, Xiangzhuang's journey north will be meaningless."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile proudly and said: "As long as Uncle Xiang agrees to your idea, Xiang Zhuang will definitely propose to take this trip for Uncle Xiang. In this way, you will have the opportunity to go alone with Xiang Zhuang."

I hope you can have more contact with Xiang Zhuang and learn more. There must be something worth learning from him. I also hope that when you come back from Suiyang, you will be completely new."

Zhang Buyi is really unhappy that his father values ​​Xiang Zhuang so much. However, there may be something worthy of learning from Xiang Zhuang. Otherwise, how could his father, who was so calm and sophisticated, mention Xiang Zhuang again and again? How could he be like this?
