After five days of unstoppable, everyone was a little tired, especially Zhang Buyi. He lacked exercise, and he was sleeping at night. He was sweating profusely with the two friends who were walking with him. The summer weather was hot and hot, which made Zhang Buyi feel that he was almost dehydrated.

Even if Xiang Zhuang practiced martial arts since childhood, he felt exhausted at this time, but as long as he bypassed Dangshan and traveled for another half a day, he could arrive in Yu County, where he would rest for a day, replenish dry food, and drink wine.

Soon, a small river appeared in front of him. Zhang Buyi was overjoyed and rushed straight to the river. The dry and hot weather made people feel urged to take a bath. At this time, Xiang Zhuang also saw the winding river water ahead and couldn't help laughing. Zhuyi rushed straight to the river. However, at this time, Zhang Buyi took off his outer robe and jumped into the river. The water was cool and cool, which made people feel very comfortable. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Xiang Zhuang, come and take a shower."

Xiang Zhuang was also unambiguous. He was too lazy to drag his clothes, so he jumped into the river, took a bath in the river, held the sweet river water in his hands, and poured it into his mouth, which was very refreshing.

Xiang Zhuang has been getting along with Zhang Buyi in the past few days, and Zhang Buyi is not as arrogant as he thought. However, the education he received since childhood is different from his own. Moreover, the Zhang family is a descendant of the Korean prime minister. Zhang Liang is determined to restore South Korea, which has brought Zhang Buyi a different personality. After getting along in the past few days, the relationship between the two has gradually improved.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang mischievously poured water on Zhang Buyi, and Zhang Buyi immediately fought back. The two of them started a water battle in the river, which made the two guys on the shore laugh.

I don’t know how long it took, both of them were tired of playing. They returned to the shore, took off their wet clothes, and immediately took off their bags. Soon, they changed into dry clothes. The two sat on the shore and chatted with each other.

"In another three days, I should be able to go to Suiyang. When I get there, I will go to the best tavern to drink!" Xiang Zhuang fantasized, and Zhang Buyi laughed and said, "Brother Xiang, don't worry, then, I will be the host, let's eat and drink well!"

Both of them laughed. At this time, Xiang Zhuang turned around and looked at the naked Yanri Bow in the horse bag. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Gongsun, this Yanri Bow, from the workmanship and strength, it can be seen that he is of extraordinary quality and should be a very good treasure bow, but why did your father offer him?"

Zhang Buyi was asked by Xiang Zhuang and couldn't help but sigh. This bow is really expensive. It was a treasure bow used by the ancestors of the Zhang family. However, since Zhang Hai, his father's great-grandfather, no one in the Zhang family could pull it away. In a blink of an eye, a hundred years passed, and the Zhang family gradually abandoned martial arts strategy and only used it in literature and no one practiced martial arts...

After a long silence, Zhang Buyi sighed and told Xiang Zhuang: "Actually, this bow is a treasure bow used by my wife and great-grandfather."

"Madam, great-grandfather?" Xiang Zhuang asked curiously.

"Haha, it's my father's great-grandfather. He was once a very brave general." Zhang Bu seemed to have entered the boundless memories, but Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised: "Is the Korean general?"

Xiang Zhuang actually knew that his wife, great-grandfather, was a Korean general. Zhang Buyi looked at Xiang Zhuang vigilantly. After a long time, Zhang Buyi said in confusion: "Do you know my ancestors?"

Seeing that Zhang Buyi was already suspicious, Xiang Zhuang could only sigh: "Actually, I know that your father is Zhang Liang, and you are Zhang Buyi..."

Xiang Zhuang's words made Zhang Buyi secretly hate him. How could he know his background? After a brief silence, Zhang Buyi asked: "Have you investigated us?"

"No, absolutely not!" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Actually, I just heard a passerby accidentally talk about the details of your Gongsun family..."

Both of them were silent. After a while, Zhang Buyi reached out and patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder and smiled, "I treat you as a brother. In fact, this is not a secret. Our Zhang family, like your Xiang family, both hope that their country will rise again. You said, right?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and both of them laughed knowingly. They no longer mentioned this matter. At this time, from a distance, laughter and scolding came faintly. Xiang Zhuang supported the ground with his right hand, turned around, ran to the side, and slapped the red shadow, looking around. Xiang Zhuang carefully identified it. The voice came from the north. He couldn't help but be curious and told Zhang Buyi to wait in place, turn over the horse, and run into the woods to the north.

Looking at Xiang Zhuang's back gradually moving away, Zhang Buyi was afraid that Xiang Zhuang would be in trouble, so he hurriedly rode his horse and chased after him.

......

Deep in the woods, a wave of bandits had ferocious faces, with about ten people holding two feet of short blades in their hands, blocking a team that was eager to rush. Among them, the leader was a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eight years old. He was not tall, but there was a kind of murderous aura between his eyebrows and his clothes were extremely old. It can be seen that he was not rich in life. Behind him, five yamen runners, holding four feet of long swords, were ready to go, and confronted the bandits.

It can be seen that this wave of people should be the yamen runners who escorted the prisoners, especially the four-foot copper swords held by the yamen runners. It was a unique long sword in the Qin Dynasty. Their fine workmanship and the right temperature can increase the toughness of the copper sword. Therefore, the sword is at least one to two feet longer than the swords of the people and the swords left by descendants of the six kingdoms.

At this moment, the bandit head raised his head and laughed: "What are you doing today? I actually met an official. It seems that I will waste my sweat again and kill for a while, hahaha..."

The bandits' laughter was extremely ferocious, and the yamen runners were a little panicked. The person in the old clothes could be seen as the leader of this group of people. He couldn't help but sneer and scolded the bandits, "The laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty, robbery and murderers should be punished with the extreme punishment. Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid! We're afraid of death!" The bandit leader laughed grimly, pulled out a short blade and rushed straight to the man. When the bandits were coming, the man hurriedly drew out a long sword, but the bronze sword was too long, and the speed of pulling out was slowed down. Seeing that the bandit was about to kill him, the man hurriedly retreated, but when the bronze sword was pulled out, the bandit's short blade had already hit him. The middle-aged man closed his eyes and raised his hand to block...

Life and death were only in a moment. The bandit's short blade did not hit the middle-aged man, but made heart-wrenching screams. The middle-aged man was surprised and slowly opened his eyes. He saw a feather arrow piercing into the bandit's right arm, and blood flowed down the bandit's arm.

In the pain, the bandit turned his head and looked. Not far away, a 17 or 18-year-old boy holding a fiery red bow and arrow in his hand was laughing at him. He couldn't help but roar, abandoning the middle-aged man and running towards the young man. The middle-aged man couldn't help but shout: "Brother, run away quickly..."

The bandits were running closer and closer. The boy did not panic, but pulled out a feather arrow from the horse bag, pulled the bow like a full moon, aiming at the bandit's eyebrows. The bandit's right hand holding the sword began to tremble, and his footsteps also stopped. After a brief stalemate, the fear in the bandit's heart quickly expanded. He hurriedly threw down the sword and fled north.

......

The bandits fled in panic, causing everyone to burst into laughter. The tense atmosphere just now disappeared. The old-fashioned man stared at the direction of the bandits' escape, spat and cursed: "Dog//day, let me meet you next time, and flatten your village!"

The middle-aged man turned around and ordered the yamen runners to check the number of people, rest for a while, and prepare to set off. After that, he came to the young man riding a horse, clasped his fists with his hands, and said aloud: "Just now, thanks to the help of my little brother."

The man riding a horse was Xiang Zhuang. When he saw Liu Bang coming to salute, he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "What's the point of raising hands?"

The middle-aged man had a very good impression of Xiangzhuang. Moreover, he was young, with accurate archery skills and strong physique. When he saw bandits coming, he was not afraid of danger and was able to respond well. He couldn't help but smile and said, "A person in Xia Sishui County lives in Feng Township. He was ordered to escort prisoners to Mount Li to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb. When he passed by this place, he encountered bandits. If it weren't for the help of the little brother, the consequences would be unimaginable. I don't know the name of the little brother...?"

Xiang Zhuang had dismounted at this time. When Xiang Zhuang heard this person calling himself Liu Bang, Xiang Zhuang was stunned. He looked at the person in front of him carefully and couldn't help but smile: "The person in the lower court is named Xiang and named Zhuang."

"Xiang Zhuang?" Liu Bang repeatedly said this name and couldn't help but smile: "But the Chu general Xiang Yan?"

"Do you know my grandfather?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help asking in confusion.

Soon, Liu Bang laughed out loud, "As a native of Chu, how could he not know General Xiang Yan?"

Liu Bang immediately sighed and said, "Remember, when the Qin army stepped into Chu, General Xiang Yan led a large army to resist the enemy and fought fiercely in Jiangling. But in the end, General Xiang Yan failed to stop the Qin army from moving south, and the Chu State soon ended and then perished."

Liu Bang seemed to have experienced this battle, and spoke extremely sadly, which caused Xiang Zhuang to feel sad and sigh. Soon, Xiang Zhuang looked at Nibang and asked, "Have you participated in the Battle of Jiangling?"

Liu Bang shook his hand and smiled, "It's just a hearing."

Both of them laughed. Looking at Liu Bang, who was dressed in old clothes in front of him, he was not very tall and had a typical medium figure. Moreover, from the wrinkles on his face, he was almost forty this year, but his physique was still very tough. It can be said that he was a typical uncle-level figure. It is hard to imagine that such an inconspicuous person actually became the Emperor Gaozu of Han in history and the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty!

Perhaps, it is because he is older that he must be calmer than Xiang Yu, better than Xiang Yu, better at employing people and analyzing the situation, so that he can take advantage of the situation and unify the world. However, when Xiang Zhuang thought about it carefully, Liu Bang was probably not taking advantage of the situation. He could control Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Fan Kuai and other advisers. Liu Bang must have his unique leadership skills.

Such a difficult opponent was met by himself at this moment. Xiang Zhuang's murderous intent flashed. Liu Bang was just the head of the Sishui Pavilion at this time, a little loach who was unable to swallow clouds and spit out mist. Killing him at this time can remove Xiang Yu's number one opponent and lay the foundation for the Chu State to unify the world.

If the opportunity is lost at this time, the little loach will become a big dragon, which will not be easy to deal with. But history is history after all, and he has his own progress. When Liu Bang dies, there will be "horse tied" and "Hu Bang" appear. They will also be Xiang Yu's opponents and can compete for the world. He seems to think too simply about the problem.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing dryly and gave up the idea of ​​killing Liu Bang. Not far away, Zhang Buyi rushed to the scene with two friends. Seeing Xiang Zhuang and Liu Bang standing opposite each other, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Brother Xiang, who is this person?..."

Zhang Buyi's arrival broke the embarrassing situation. Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but smile and said, "This is Liu Bang, the head of Sishui Pavilion, Brother Liu."

Xiang Zhuang pointed at Zhang Buyi again and introduced: "This is my good brother, Gongsun Tai."

The two of them clasped their fists and gave a deep tribute. Xiang Zhuang was by his side and told the story of driving away the bandits and rescuing Liu Bang. Gongsun Tai learned that Liu Bang was going to Liyang, Chang'an, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's such a coincidence. We are going to Suiyang, and we can be companions on the way."
