Xiang Yu swept over expressionlessly, brushing his sleeves, "Everyone who comes is a guest, how can you be so lazy?" Listen, prepare a decent dress for him, and prepare the best dishes at the same time, this son covers all his expenses!"

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak again, Xiang Yu threw three more ingots of gold in front of him, and his eyes were cold, "These, are they enough?"

"Enough, of course enough!"

The shopkeeper happily accepted the gold, and turned around to do something without saying a word.

The ragged man turned to look at Xiang Yu, with a little shameful smile on his dirty face.

"Why, are you sympathetic to the old decay?"

"Why sympathize with you?"

Xiang Yu snorted lukewarmly, "I'm just that the road is uneven, and I can't get used to those things that are dogs fighting people, if you think it's inappropriate, then I'll leave immediately." ”

With that, Xiang Yu turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait. ”

The old man with his back on his back limped up, and a glimmer of light flashed in his originally cloudy eyes.

"Your Excellency has great ambitions, but you are impulsive and irritable, and you are prone to bad things. If you believe in us, we will be willing to saddle your horse for you, and will never do anything to make you embarrassed. ”

Although Xiang Yu is a little disgusted with this person, since he can see his character, it is not a bad thing to envelop a person by his side.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"If the gentleman is interested, please go to the side room and talk. ”

"No, no. ”

The old man stroked his beard with his hand, "How can you talk about this important thing at the post station?

Xiang Yu woke up like a dream.

Also, now that it's a dangerous place, if you don't be extra careful, who knows if you will be caught?

Although this man looks like a madman, he is not a reckless person, and it seems that if he can be recruited, he will definitely help him to achieve great things.

Xiang Yu couldn't help but look at this person, "Dare to ask Mr. Daming?"

"Don't dare, my surname is Fan Mingcheng, and my first brother is Fan Zeng. ”

Fan Zeng's brother?

This surprised Xiang Yu a little.

Before the defeat of Wujiang, Fan Zeng had made suggestions, among which the Hongmen Banquet had his share of the credit.

It's a pity that Xiang Yu at that time, after all, was a bad move, if he had to succeed in getting rid of Liu Bang, since this Fan Zeng had this talent, this Fan Cheng would definitely have some unique ideas.

After thinking about it like this, Xiang Yu's eyebrows and eyes were a little more excited.

"With Mr. here, it will be done. ”

After that, Xiang Yu asked Fan Cheng to change into a set of clean clothes and left the post station with her.

Walking on the streets of the county town, they could almost hear some people singing praises to Liu Bang, saying that he was comparable to Yao Shun, who not only exempted himself from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also brought a lot of benefits to the people, and was indeed a rare good emperor.

It's just that these words are a great irony for Xiang Yu.

Everyone really only knows that they see their own profits, but they don't think about whether there are some dirty and despicable actions behind this emperor.

These things really made Xiang Yu's heart rage.

Fan Cheng saw his anger at a glance, and couldn't help reminding, "Master, this is not the time to compete for strengths and weaknesses, don't be impatient." ”

"I'm fine. ”

Xiang Yu calmed down, with a little indifference in his eyes.

"Those who achieve great things, regardless of informality, I will definitely not be angry about this. At this point, there was only one person I was worried about. ”

"I can't guess what the master thinks in his heart, but I also know that it must be important. If you trust, you can tell the minion that the life of the slave is for the master!"

Fan admitted that he really looked at Xiang Yu, and his attitude was obviously with sincerity.

Although Xiang Yu knew his loyalty, but there was no backup in front of him, he had to completely trust someone, and there would inevitably be risks.

Therefore, in order not to wipe out the whole army, Xiang Yu still changed his tone.

"I want to save someone, this person once promised me life and death, but now, I don't know life and death. It is said that she is now in captivity, and I am very worried in my heart, so I have come here. ”

Fan Cheng listened to his words and smiled indifferently.

"Is my master still suspicious of me? It doesn't matter, who would believe the words of a ragged man? ”

Fan Cheng's words made Xiang Yu suddenly clench the dagger on his waist with his hand.

It's not that he is ruthless, it's just that after experiencing the defeat of Wujiang, Xiang Yu will not easily believe it except himself.

What's more, this Fan Cheng is in the land of water.

Since this person is under Liu Bang's jurisdiction, there must be something wrong, otherwise, why didn't he stay where his brother Fan Zeng was, but came to this point?

These questions are a basis for Xiang Yu's suspicions, and at this time, he spoke again.

"Sir wants me to believe that it must be done to show faithfulness, so that I can win the trust of others. You also know that the only constant in this world is profit. This interest comes first, and I am afraid that some people will not do things against their will. ”

"It depends on the individual's attitude. ”

Fan Cheng smiled indifferently and followed Xiang Yu to a remote place.

"What Childe wants is a kind of loyalty, but as everyone knows, some people who swear allegiance to the death are often the biggest chess pieces that are placed next to you. If he is plotted by this kind of person, then Childe still dares to say that he can solve it by himself?"

These incisive insights have indeed eliminated most of Xiang Yu's vigilance, and at this time, he also believes that even if he tells this person everything about himself, he can't do anything.

Yes, Xiang Yu spoke again.

"I'm going to save Yu Ji. ”

Fan Cheng was stunned at first, and then muttered.

"Sure enough. When I first met Your Excellency, I had the feeling that I had met Your Excellency, and only now do I know that I have met your old friend. Childe, you can rest assured, with me, you can definitely do what you want!"

"I want to see Yu Ji, can you do it?"

"Naturally. ”

Fan Cheng's eyes flashed with confidence, and his lips hooked slightly.

"Don't hide it from my son, I know where Yu Ji is now. ”

"How do you know?"

Xiang Yu was surprised.

"Fan Cheng, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you're all in rags, this ......"

Fan Cheng didn't take it seriously and smiled calmly.

"Just because I'm embarrassed doesn't mean I'm going to lose to others. Over the years, in order to avenge my late brother, I have scattered thousands of family fortunes and opened up a pipeline in Bishui. But whoever has received my favor can help me in my errands. ”

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, "Now that you are already poor, how dare you ......?"

Fan Cheng took out a list and handed it to Xiang Yu respectfully.

After Xiang Yu looked at it carefully, he knew that Fan Cheng was not a reckless person, and he recorded all the details of some of the money and property obtained by these bribe-takers.
