"Where are Xu Gongzi and the others going?"

Three days later, Chen Xu's return team passed through Tan (tán) County and then left Donghai County and entered Langya County, and when they arrived here, Zhong Liwu, who followed Chen Xu and others all the way, couldn't figure out what Chen Xu and others were doing next, and saw that Chen Xu's team did not go to the Dongfang Road in the direction of Qufu, but turned to go east along the coast, so they gathered on the side of the road and didn't know what to do.

Watching Chen Xu and the others go farther and farther, Zhong Liwu thought for a long time and said: "You wait to continue to follow, but remember not to show your feet, you have to rush to Guanzhong in advance to make arrangements, and when Xu Gongzi arrives in Luoyang, you wait to go to Hangu Pass to find me in advance!" ”

"Yes!" After several men gave up, they rode their horses and continued to keep an eye on Chen Xu, while Zhong Liwu turned his horse's head and went his way, spurring his horse to the northwest.

And not long after Zhong Liwu and the others separated, a girl wearing a hat and a burly boy also appeared at the intersection on horseback.

The burly boy is Xiang Yu, and the girl is Xiang Jing.

The girl returned to her hometown from Wuzhong and invited her cousin Xiang Yu, but before she arrived at the next minister, the girl made an excuse to watch the parade of the first emperor, and pulled Xiang Yu on the way and went straight to Donghai County, and then hurried to catch up with Chen Xu and his party in Sheyang County, but along the way, Xiang Yu has been confused.

The girl reined in her steed and looked at the direction in which Zhong Liwu had left, and her heroic and delicate face showed a trace of apprehension and unease.

"Erniang, what are you going to do by pulling me all the way to chase Xu Gongzi?"

When he arrived here, Xiang Yu finally couldn't help it, because he found that his cousin's purpose was not the emperor, but Xu Gongzi.

"Brother, do you know who this Xu Gongzi is?"

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, the girl turned her head and looked at Xiang Yu with a serious and serious face.

Xiang Yu couldn't help but twitch and shook his head: "This Xu Gongzi heard that he is the son of a certain marquis in the court, did you take your brother to follow him all the way to avenge your brother?" ”

"Revenge ......" The girl was stunned for a moment and shook her head slightly, "Brother, do you know why Uncle Zhongli followed Xu Gongzi, but now he parted ways and went to the northwest alone?" ”

"Erniang, you still have something to say, you also know that my brother doesn't like this kind of twisting and turning brain!" Xiang Yu smiled bitterly.

Gambling with Xu Gongzi in Wuzhong can be said to be an unprecedented blow to Xiang Yu, and although Xu Gongzi, who slapped him in the face, is full of resentment and shame, he doesn't want to conflict again, because Xu Gongzi's identity is not something that Xiang can resist at the moment, not to mention that his own origin is very mysterious, Xiang can't find any news at all, just Wuzhong County Shoujiang Heng is not something Xiang can compete, not to mention that Gao Yao, the son of the lieutenant of Minzhong, also seems to be very familiar with Xu Gongzi, which also makes Xiang Yu even more entangled, can only temporarily suppress the anger of being humiliated by Chen Xu in the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with Chen Xu anymore.

"There is one thing that may be related to the life and death of my Xiang clan, and this matter is related to a court minister, he is known to everyone in the world, once this happens, my Xiang clan may suffer a catastrophe in an instant, I don't know how to deal with it, so this time I specially invite my brother to come!" The girl hesitated for a long time and then said.

Xiang Yu's face was even more depressed, he turned his head to look at the girl and said: "Don't exaggerate, my Xiang family is staying in Wuzhong now, how can there be a catastrophe, you still tell me the reason why you are chasing Xu Gongzi, otherwise my brother will not bother to accompany you to fool around and return to the next minister, this time it has been out for too long, if the news reaches the ears of the second uncle and the third uncle, I will be reprimanded again!" ”

"Brother, I only ask you, if the uncle in the clan wants to do a big thing, and my Xiang clan has no hope of winning in this matter, once it fails, it will be the situation of destroying the clan, how should you do it?" The girl still didn't answer Xiang Yu's words positively.

Xiang Yu's face slowly became serious, his thick eyebrows slowly wrinkled into a straight line, and after hesitating for a long time, he nodded and said seriously: "If this is really the case, my brother will definitely find a way to dissuade ......"

"No, you can't dissuade you anymore!" The girl pointed in the direction of Zhong Li's departure with a horsewhip, "Uncle Zhong Li is leaving, this matter has already begun, and the disaster of my Xiang clan's extermination is imminent......"

"Second sister, don't go around the bend, just say it!"

Xiang Yu felt that his heart was like a mess by this cousin who was usually extremely smart, he followed Xu Gongzi all the way, and naturally knew that Zhong Liwu was following Xu Gongzi and his party, but he didn't know the reason, and he didn't want to know, because Zhong Liwu was not from the Xiang clan, but he had close contacts with the Xiang family on weekdays, and there were countless rangers and gentry in the world who had close contacts with the Xiang family, Zhong Liwu was just one of them, he didn't care at all, what he liked was to take a group of teenagers to play Wuzhong, I like to see the lively situation of Wuzhong people hiding and fleeing when they see him.

The Xiang clan will have the disaster of annihilation, which is impossible for a bewitching teenager like him.

The Xiang family is deeply rooted in Chu, and even the county guard is helpless, and it is even more unlikely that a powerless and powerless man from Xianyang will not be able to treat the Xiang family, not to mention that the gambling and drinking matter has passed, although he is disgraced, but Xu Gongzi has not made any aggressive moves, even if Xu Gongzi can be in Xianyang, he will definitely not be able to reach out to Wuzhong to threaten Xiang.

"What does my brother think of this Xu Gongzi?" The girl still whispered to him.

"Xu Gongzi ......" Xiang Yu's cheek twitched again, shook his head in confusion, and without answering, he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head and said: "Second sister, go back with me, Xu Gongzi, I don't want to have anything to do with him at the moment, and when I have the next opportunity, I will naturally gamble with him again, and I will definitely win him......"

"I'm afraid my brother won't have a chance next time!" The girl shook her head slightly in confusion, "The next time I see Xu Gongzi, it will be when my Xiang clan is wiped out, and even you will never see him again in your life......"

"Second sister, what do you want to say?" Xiang Yu couldn't help but roar.

"Brother, Uncle Zhongli followed Xu Gongzi all the way, just to assassinate him in Guanzhong......"

"What?" Xiang Yu's face was stunned, and then he eagerly grabbed the girl's arm, "Where did you get this news from?" ”

"I overheard the conversation between my father and Uncle Zhongli, Uncle Zhongli went to Guanzhong to find the Ji brothers to intercept and kill Xu Gongzi halfway!"

The girl finally said what was in her heart, mainly because this matter was beyond her control, and even if she pulled Xiang Yu, she didn't dare to guarantee that she could stop this matter, if Xu Gongzi was just the son of an ordinary Qinghou, this matter would be enough, but the three words of Qinghe Hou were like a mountain, and she was only breathless.

"No wonder you mentioned the Ji brothers with an ugly face last time, it turned out to be this matter, what does Xu Gongzi have to do with whether he dies or not, and the Xiang family, he is just like me, he must be a wicked person in the eyes of Xianyang people, whether he dies or not, my brother's humiliation can be regarded as the end, it's just that the third uncle is making a fuss, killing chickens with a knife, just a Xu Gongzi, it's worth bothering Uncle Zhongli and the Ji brothers!"

Xiang Yu shook his head and let go of his hand, glanced at the direction where Chen Xu left with a slightly pitiful face, and said, "Since it was arranged by the third uncle, you and I don't want to make any extraneous troubles about this matter, go back with me quickly!" ”

"Brother, you really don't know who this Xu Gongzi is?" The girl was anxious, and in turn grabbed Xiang Yu's arm tightly, and said with a pale face.

"Brother doesn't want to know who he is, humiliating my Xiang clan like this, he is not worthy of pity if he dies!" Xiang Yu shook his head and lightly knocked the stirrups to leave.

"Brother~~" The girl's emotions instantly lost control, "Then Xu Gongzi may be the famous Qinghe Marquis all over the world, if you and I don't care, the Xiang family will definitely have the disaster of extermination......"

"What?" Xiang Yu's body shook violently, and the horsewhip in his hand fell to the ground in fright.

"You...... Where did you get this news from? Xiang Yu jumped off the horse and grabbed the girl's reins, looking frightened, and his face instantly turned pale and bloodless.

"That's what I heard my father and Uncle Zhongli say!" The girl bit her lip tightly, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

This incident has been holding in her heart for half a month, and now she is still terrified when she says it.

"How...... How could this be, how could Xu Gongzi be the Marquis of Qinghe? Xiang Yu was completely stunned, and the hand holding the reins of the horse was trembling slightly, this news was completely like a thunderclap for him, and his soul trembled.

"Brother, the Marquis of Qinghe is not only the Marquis of Great Qin Qing, but also a disciple of the Immortal Family, it is rumored that he has the ability to be unpredictable, and there is also the Taiyi Divine Thunder Protector, Daddy and Uncle Zhongli discussed assassinating him in the Guanzhong, it will definitely not succeed, as long as the matter is revealed, it will inevitably cause the disaster of extermination to my Xiang clan, I ...... I don't know what to do, and I don't dare to tell others, I can only bring you to discuss, if we don't care about it, let the Ji brothers intercept and kill the Marquis of Qinghe, the consequences will definitely not be able to bear the consequences of the Xiang family......"

The girl's delicate body trembled violently, and tears rolled down her eyes when she spoke, "Today's world is not the time of the Seven Kingdoms dispute, you and I were still young and ignorant when the Great Chu destroyed the country, but now you and I have heard of what the uncle in the clan did secretly, they are bent on destroying Qin and restoring Chu, but the danger is extremely unpredictable, the emperor has Wang Jian and his son, there are Meng Tian's brothers, Li Sifeng Quai, and hundreds of thousands of troops, there are inexhaustible grain, grass and ordnance, and even the protection of the Marquis of Qinghe, what does our Xiang clan have?" There is nothing at the moment, all the people who come and go are some gentry rangers who have no foundation, a group of idle men and ruffians, what do we do to fight with the emperor, and we are going to assassinate the Marquis of Qinghe to provoke Taiyi Xianzun, my Chu people have respected Taiyi since ancient times, and the Marquis of Qinghe was originally a native of Chu, even the people in Wuzhong also respect the Marquis of Qinghe, once my Xiang clan secretly led the assassination of the Marquis of Qinghe is exposed, who else dares to have dealings and involvement with my Xiang clan...... I don't want to see the Xiang clan being taken into the abyss by the uncle of the clan like this, right now...... At present, there is no chance, no strength and no foundation...... Brother, you are the eldest son of the Xiang family, and you will be the head of my Xiang family in the future, if you ignore this matter, the Xiang family will be destroyed in your hands, and you can bear to see the uncles, uncles, and brothers and sisters in the clan die like this, and there is no place to bury......"

Stimulated by the girl's crying, Xiang Yu's body trembled violently.

"That'...... Then I should ...... What am I going to do? Xiang Yu was already confused, and looked at the girl with a trembling mouth.

"We have to find a way to stop this from happening, Qinghe Hou must not have any damage, I brought my brother here just to get your help!"

The girl came out with the words she was holding in her heart, and her mood seemed to calm down a lot, and she wiped away her tears and looked at Xiang Yu and said.

"Stop, how to stop ......" Xiang Yu's mind went blank.

"You go to chase Uncle Zhongli, you must find a way to stop him from looking for the Ji brothers, I will go after Xu Gongzi to find out his true identity, if he is really the Marquis of Qinghe, I will tell him about it, and let him be careful when he returns to Xianyang......"

"Good!"

Xiang Yu is not a person who likes to use his brain too much, he usually dances with guns and sticks and is arrogant and domineering in Wuzhong and bullies civilians as a gangster, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid.

Once the assassination of the Marquis of Qinghe happens, the consequence will inevitably be that the world will shake, no matter how powerful the Ji family is, it will be as vulnerable as paper paste in front of the emperor's army, once the Ji brothers are captured, it will inevitably involve Zhong Lifu, and Zhong Liwu is close to the Xiang family, no matter how deep the Xiang family hides, it will never escape, not to mention that the Qinghe Marquis has just had a fight with the Xiang family in Wuzhong, and he was assassinated on the way back. In that case, there will be no place for the Xiang clan in the whole world.

Seeing Xiang Yu turn over and chase Zhong Liwu away, the girl also packed up her mood and whipped in the direction of Chen Xu's advance.
