"Master Hou is going to Huiji this time?" Back at home, sitting in the shade of the garden drinking herbal tea to cool off, Jiang Chuxing couldn't help but ask.

"Well, this time I followed the emperor to the southeast, because I left early because I had something, and I still have one more thing to go to Wuzhong!" Chen Xu nodded.

"Hehe, very good, very good, I can also follow Master Hou to Uncle's place to play for a while!" Jiang Chuxing suddenly became excited.

"Brother Jiang is going, you can arrange some things for me at that time!" Chen Xu thought for a moment and nodded.

In addition to wanting to seduce Hou Sheng, he also wanted to meet Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, two super historical figures in later generations.

Now Liu Bang has seen it, it looks like a very ordinary middle-aged uncle, and it is not too surprising, although he did not reveal the identity of Qinghe Hou, but even for this Xu Gongzi from Xianyang, he is very cautious, and he is a little stammered.

Overall, Chen Xu was slightly disappointed.

But this is reasonable, after all, Peixian is a small place, and there are still seven or eight years before the world is in turmoil, as long as Qin Dada sits on the dragon chair and looks at the world for a day, any hero who has the so-called eloquence in his bones can only continue to live this humble life like a little ant.

What's more, as long as there is a chance to be motivated, no one wants to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers and blindly rebel, and at present, as long as someone dares to jump out, the entire Great Qin will be gently crushed to death by Qin Da with his little finger.

The so-called times create heroes, the world is peaceful now, there is no soil and opportunity for rebellion, Liu Bang can only continue to be a hooligan leader here, and even if Liu Bang rebelled in later generations, he was completely forced, first escorted the prisoners to Lishan on the way Many prisoners escaped, Liu Bang had no choice but to let go of the rest, and then hid in Mangdang Mountain to avoid trouble, and then the county magistrate of Pei County was ready to call Liu Bang, the hooligan leader, back to rebel under the instigation of Xiao He Cao Shen, and as a result, the county magistrate felt that he might not be able to control Liu Bang to repent. As a result, Xiao He and Cao Shen could only escape from the county seat to join Liu Bang, and then instigated Liu Bang to raise troops and kill Peixian, and the county order raised the banner of rebellion.

In other words, without the influence of Xiao He and Cao Shen, Liu Bang basically has little chance of rebelling.

This is the same as Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty in later generations, Chen Qiao's mutiny and yellow robe were all driven to the shelves by a group of subordinates, but in the end both of them succeeded.

And the reason for the success is that Great Qin has indeed lost the hearts of his subjects and the people's hearts to the verge of collapse.

Compared with Liu Bang, a successful person, Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew, who have been rebelling since childhood, are the real rebels.

After meeting Liu Bang, he decided to go to Wuzhong to meet Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew.

If you can fool these people to Xianyang, put them by your side to monitor or even take them under your hands, the future history will inevitably change completely.

As for how to arrange it in Xianyang, although Chen Xu hasn't thought about it yet, there are so many offices in Xianyang, and they can be stuffed into it casually.

People who are ambitious and want to be motivated are the best to control.

As long as they are given a place to display their talents and ambitions, many people's lives can change dramatically, and buried in the countryside will eventually be like an uncontrollable time bomb, which can change at any time.

If the emperor really hangs up after a few years, and there is still no designated prince, maybe there will still be chaos in the court, and when the court fights together, maybe these people will still jump up and rebel, even if it can be extinguished in the end, Daqin will inevitably go through some turmoil, which Chen Xu does not want to see.

In the next few days, Chen Xu followed Jiang Chuxing around Pei County every day, mainly to observe the people's feelings.

After a few days of wandering, Chen Xu also roughly understood Jiangbei Pavilion's hardships.

There are a lot of idlers in this Pei County, it seems that the people here don't like farming very much, most of the farmers are planting mulberry and raising silkworms, or fishing fish and shrimp in the lake to dig lotus roots, and similar to Zhou Bo, on weekdays, use reeds to weave some mats and silkworm tools to sell for a living, and in their spare time is to get together to gamble with dice, or to fight dogs in the open space outside the city, and these idlers are still in the prime of life, in Chen Xu's eyes, it seems that the men in Pei County are this virtue, not motivated at all.

The lazier and poorer, the poorer and more cunning, and the more dissatisfied they are with society, the slightest quarrel will lead to fights in the streets, and the fishermen and idlers are like two gangs, very chaotic.

This is what Chen Xu learned in Pei County.

On the evening of the fifth day, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Liu Bang, Zhou Bo and others gathered again at Fan Xu's house to eat dog meat, and this time Fan Xu's wife had a much better attitude towards Liu Bang, and was busy preparing wine, meat and food.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow, have you ever thought about it!?" After a few glasses of mulberry wine, Chen Xu asked.

"Bo is willing to follow Gongzi Xu to Xianyang, and he is also willing to escort Gongzi to Wuzhong, but the little sister in the family is still young, and I am afraid that I can't take care of it for thousands of miles!" Zhou Bo usually doesn't talk much, and he will send some crabs and loaches to Jiangbei Pavilion every day these days, Chen Xu also invited him to stay in Jiangfu to eat and drink together, the two are already familiar with each other, and Zhou Bo also clearly replied that he would follow Chen Xu to Xianyang.

"This Brother Zhou, rest assured, your little sister can be temporarily placed in my house to be taken care of by the domestic servants, and when she returns to Xianyang in a few days, she will pick it up and follow her to Xianyang, if it is inconvenient, wait until the autumn when our Jiangfu sends someone back to Xianyang!" Jiang Chuxing said with a smile.

"It's so erect to be relieved!" Zhou Bo happily thanked him.

"Master Xu, Ji is willing to follow you to Wuzhong!" Liu Bang was the second to stand up and make a statement.

For a person with great ambitions, Chen Xu's appearance this time is definitely a good opportunity for him that he has never had, and Xianyang is also full of temptation for him.

Xiao He Cao Shen stood up one after another and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Xu Gongzi is warmly invited, and the two of us are also willing to follow around!" ”

"Hey, I'm willing to follow Xu Gongzi to Xianyang to make a living!" Fan Xu also stood up and said a little stiffly.

"Haha, okay, don't worry, going to Xianyang will definitely not let your talent be buried, in order to celebrate your wise choice, drink a cup together!" Chen Xu stood up happily.

"Please, in the future, I will rely on Xu Gongzi!" A group of people are excitedly holding stoneware wine glasses in their hands.

A glass of mulberry red wine is drunk, and then a large piece of meat is eaten and drunk, a large pot of dog meat and two jars of red wine are eaten and drunk lively, and then drunk together to listen to the song and dance together, until it is dark before they go home to clean up.

Chen Xu is very happy, this trip to Pei County can be said to be full of returns, directly Liu Bang's future hooligan gang almost wiped out, not only fooled Liu Bang, but also his subordinates Xiao He Cao Shen Zhou Bo Fan Hao all under his own hands, compared to the young and vigorous Xiang Yu, Liu Bang is more pragmatic at this age, no flesh and blood, no huge ambition, the most important thing is that he and Daqin have no deep hatred, there is no need to bring down Daqin, overall, Liu Bang's gang and Xiang Yu are not comrades-in-arms on the same front, so they are easier to control.

"Lord Hou is busy with affairs, and it is inconvenient for Beiting to stay for a long time, so I will go to Wuzhong, and I can arrange Xing'er and the servants to handle it if there are things along the way, but it is ......"

"Just what? It doesn't hurt for Lord Jiang to say bluntly, as long as Xu can do it, he will never refuse? ”

Back in Jiangfu, Jiangbei Tingping retired from his family and servants and accompanied Chen Xu to drink tea and chat in the living room.

"Sanniang also wants to follow Hou Ye to Brother Wuzhong's place to relax, I don't know if it's convenient?" Jiang Beiting asked with a little hesitation.

Chen Xu: ......

"Master Jiang, Miss Xuguan Chuyue's temperament has changed a lot from before, I wonder if something happened?" Chen Xu hesitated for a long time and asked.

Jiangbei Pavilion: ......

Jiang Beiting naturally knew about his daughter's affairs, but Chen Xu really didn't know these things, because this was his daughter's wishful thinking, and Chen Xu didn't know that his daughter liked him from beginning to end.

But after getting along for the past few days, although it was an arrangement for the scene, it could be seen that her daughter was still very happy, and her mood was much more cheerful.

Once Chen Xu leaves this time, I am afraid that my daughter will really be lonely for the rest of her life, and she will never be able to pull out a thorn in the heart of their husband and wife.

But this matter cannot be raised to ask Chen Xu to marry her daughter.

The identities of the two families are now incomparable, and Chen Xu has already had three wives who are justifiable, I heard that Chen Xu only has a merchant girl as a concubine in Xianyang, and he treats his wife and concubine very fairly and courteously, and the possibility of stuffing his daughter into it is very small, not to mention, once it is brought up, if Chen Xu does not agree, it will cause irreparable consequences, and this consequence Jiang family can't afford.

"Yue'er used to be young and ignorant, so she was a little rude and willful, but now that she is getting older, her habits have also changed a little, but the people here in Pei County are fierce, and there is no familiar friend, so she is lonely, and Beiting is busy with official business on weekdays and can't persuade and take care, she was familiar with Hou Ye in Pheasant County, so she was in a much better mood after seeing Hou Ye, this time you can go to Wuzhong to take her to the eldest brother to relax, and then return with Xing'er, if Hou Ye feels inconvenient, this matter should be Beiting did not say!" Jiang Beiting forced an explanation.

"Since Lord Jiang said so, Xu agreed, it may be a little inconvenient on the road, so it is convenient to take care of it, and please arrange a few maids to accompany you all the way!" After a short period of consideration, Chen Xu agreed.

"Thank you so much for this North Pavilion!" Jiang Beiting breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.

"Hehe, don't use Lord Jiang like this, if it wasn't for Lord Jiang to take care of and protect him in Pheasant County, maybe Xu has been left with Zhao Gao's bones, Lord Jiang rest assured, this time Xu will take care of Miss Chu Yue, and Xu will leave early tomorrow morning, if Lord Jiang still has items to bring to Jiang Junshou, please prepare in advance, and I will take it by the way tomorrow!"

"It's so good, it's getting late, Beiting won't disturb the Hou Ye's sleep, and send the Hou Ye off tomorrow!" Jiang Beiting hurriedly stood up and sent Chen Xu out of the living room, and at the same time arranged for the maid to take Chen Xu to wash and sleep.

Watching Chen Xu leave, a graceful woman at the back of the living room slowly walked out and knelt in front of Jiangbei Pavilion and kowtowed: "Thank you Daddy!" ”

Jiang Beiting sighed and helped his daughter up, and said with a solemn face: "Yue'er, everything in the world can't be forced, Daddy doesn't know whether it's right or wrong to do this, but you must not run into Qinghehou willfully along the way, you have no marriage with him, you can't force it, I hope that after this time, you will listen to your father's words, and find a husband to marry after you come back, and it will be better for your father's wish, so as not to worry about your family!" ”

"Daddy, don't worry, Yue'er will go back and everything will be arranged by her father, and her daughter will go to bed first after she retires, and Daddy will rest early!" Jiang Chuyue bowed softly.

"Well, go ahead!" Jiang Beiting nodded slightly, watching his daughter's lonely figure leave the living room, then leaned back on the chair and sighed again, closed his eyes and pulled his beard in a daze.

After Chen Xu finished washing, he was also in a daze when he lay on the bed covered with reed mats.

Mosquito coils made from a mixture of cattails, sandalwood and chrysanthemum leaves are lit in the room, and green smoke rises in the flickering candlelight, filling the room with a strange fragrance.

The room is quiet, the insects outside the window are like weaving, the Milky Way runs across the sky, and the stars are brilliant like a galaxy, rendering the night extremely deep and beautiful.

When he came to Pei County this time, Jiang Chuyue's changes made him feel as if he had become two people, and he was definitely not pretending.

He is not a fool, through getting along and observing in the past few days, the Jiang family will always give Jiang Chuyue the opportunity to be alone with her, whether it is eating or chatting, the two of them must be left in the end, and this time using the identity of this fiancé to cover his whereabouts, Chen Xu also slowly felt Jiang Beiting's thoughts.

That's to stuff this daughter into him.

But Chen Xu couldn't agree to this matter.

Since the water said goodbye softly, he almost cut off any idea of remarrying another wife and taking a concubine.

With his current status, it is easy to get a beautiful concubine, but it is difficult to get a confidant.

Shui Qingrou is his only confidante, in fact, the identity of husband and wife is not important, the important thing is that Shui Qingrou's position in his mind is irreplaceable, without Shui Qingrou, he feels that there are many things missing in his life, so he is also a lot more indifferent to women's thoughts.

What's more, Jiang Chuyue is not the type he likes, at most, he can be an ordinary friend, and he has never had the idea of marrying back.

Alas~

After a long time, Chen Xu finally closed his eyes slowly.
