Chapter 264: Two Stars Compete for Glory
Xu Cheng finally left, but Liu Bang didn't dare to stop him in the end.
Zhang Liang knew what Liu Bang was worried about, and immediately persuaded: "King, Senior Sister also said just now, your emperor star is still shining, which shows that the general trend of the world is actually still in my Han Dynasty, this time Wenqu Star is out of the southeast, not necessarily in Jiangdong, and even if it should be in Jiangdong, the great talent may not be out of the Chu Kingdom, you don't have to worry anymore." ”
Liu Bang nodded silently, but his expression revealed indescribable regret and reluctance.
To be honest, as a soldier, Zhang Liang does not believe in ghosts and gods, let alone the emperor's qi, in his opinion, the yin and yang family's astrological king's qi is just a simple psychological hint, such as Xu Cheng, she said that Liu Bang's emperor star is bright, Liu Bang will be more convinced that he is destined to return, that's all.
Zhang Liang even believes that whether Liu Bang is destined for heaven is not determined by the celestial phenomena of the Emperor Star, but by his courtiers like Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Zhou Bo, and Lu Ze, as well as the efforts of hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers. What a joke!
However, Liu Bang is willing to believe Xu Cheng's words, Zhang Liang is also helpless, he can't tell Liu Bang directly, King, Xu Cheng's words are all false, she said that your destiny is also false, isn't this just offending Liu Bang? With Zhang Liang's ingenuity, he naturally would not say such stupid words.
However, Zhang Liang could vaguely guess Xu Cheng's thoughts.
There is no doubt that Xu Cheng is a woman with real skills, in this troubled era, she can make such a big reputation with what she has learned, not only by relying on the identity of the female disciple of Huangshi, in fact, Xu Cheng is still very accomplished in Zhou Yi, gossip, and physiognomy, but these are not as illusory as celestial phenomena, but they do exist.
The reason why Xu Cheng wanted to travel far away was mostly because of what he had when he deduced Zhou Yi and gossip.
However, the reason why Xu Cheng really decided to leave is that I am afraid that it is Liu Bang, since he has been stationed in Longxi for military training, Liu Bang has not only quit drinking and stayed away from women, but his body is also getting stronger and stronger.
Perhaps, Liu Bang feels that he is getting old day by day, if he doesn't marry Xu Cheng now, then this peerless stunner can only be left for other men to enjoy, Liu Bang's monopoly ** is undoubtedly extremely strong, at a critical moment, he can even give up the lives of his children and even Lao Tzu, how can he give up such a peerless stunner as Xu Cheng?
It's just that he scruples that Xu Cheng is a yin and yang family, can watch the sky at night, and can recognize the emperor's qi, so Liu Bang never dared to make a mistake, but this scruple is also limited, and as Liu Bang gets older, his patience will inevitably be lost day by day, and Xu Cheng probably also sensed that the danger was approaching, so he could only leave.

On the official road leading from Longxi to Xianyang, two fast horses are galloping forward.
On horseback, there are two graceful figures, one riding in white clothes and snow, one riding in black clothes like ink, and the two graceful delicate bodies are gently swaying with the ups and downs of the mount, like weak willows in the wind, beautiful, but the pretty faces of the two women are covered with a thin silk scarf, covering their original faces.
These two women are none other than Xu Cheng, the yin and yang master who has just resigned to Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, and her maid Xiaoqing.
As Zhang Liang guessed, Xu Cheng was indeed aware of the dangerous situation she was facing, but the reason that finally prompted her to leave Xianyang was the hexagram she participated in on a whim a few days ago, and that hexagram showed that her Xu Cheng's Hongluan Star actually moved, that is, she Xu Cheng was about to get married! ..., moreover, the life she promised should be in the southeast, in the east of the river!
When passing through a fork in the road, Xu Cheng suddenly turned his horse's head to the gallop road leading to Hanzhong, Xiaoqing was stunned, and then hurriedly caught up with Xu Cheng and asked her: "Childe, this is the gallop road to Hanzhong." ”
"Yes." Xu Cheng nodded and replied, "Let's go to Hanzhong." ”
Xiaoqing was stunned again when she heard this, and asked, "Aren't we going back to Xianyang?" ”
"Not back." Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "Let's go directly to Linjiang from Guanzhong, and then go down the river to Jiangdong, and we won't go back to Xianyang." "Before leaving Longxi, Xu Cheng participated in a hexagram, from the analysis of the hexagram, the king of Han is only afraid that he will not let her go easily, if nothing else, the king of Han is now only afraid that Yijing will send someone to Xianyang to intercept her.
In fact, Liu Bang Lao'er did regret it, as soon as Xu Cheng's front foot left, he sent a fast horse to rush back to Xianyang, and ordered Xiao He to keep Xu Cheng at all costs, no matter what, but Xu Cheng, the yin and yang, everyone will tell the hexagram, but Liu Bang's hard work is destined to be in vain.

Qua, the backyard of the wine shop.
Xiang Zhuang and Bai Lixian were resting in the wing.
During the day, I talked with Bi Shu, the descendant of Guiguzi, who Qu Bucai said, for an afternoon, and I didn't drink less soju, but after drinking a few bowls of sobering soup, Xiang Zhuang's mind cleared up a lot, and asked Baili Xian at the moment: "Ziliang, what do you think of this Bi Shu?" Is there a real talent, or is it still a rhetorical person? ”
Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and said: "I can't see it, but judging from the contact during the day, at least this Bishu is still very discerning, knowing that the king's implementation of the national examination is to weaken the influence of the Jiangdong scholars, and there is that this Bishu has learned extremely complex, and the theories of soldiers, law, agriculture, ink, Confucianism, and yin and yang are all at his fingertips, but it is indeed like a descendant of Guigu." ”
Xiang Zhuang said: "Ziliang means that this Bishu is a talent?" ”
Bai Lixian said with a smile: "King, this Bishu must be a talent, but it's hard to say whether it is as powerful as the previous generations of Guigu heirs." Saying this, Baili Xian said again, "The previous generations of Guigu descendants, Su Qin hung the seal of the Six Kingdoms, Zhang Yi entered Qin twice as the prime minister, Sun Bin and Pang Juan are the best soldiers in the world, and they are all extraordinary people." ”
Xiang Zhuang was immediately moved when he heard this, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, these are all famous big names in the Qin and Autumn Warring States Period, pick one of these four people at random, I'm afraid that even Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, and Han Xin can't resist it, if this Bishu can have half of the descendants of the previous generations of Guigu, it would be terrible!
At that moment, Xiang Zhuang hesitated and said, "Ziliang, do you want to find out your identity and talk to him?" ”
Bai Lixian shook his head and said: "The king, this is not necessary, if the minister did not guess wrong, this Bi Shu is only afraid that Yijing has already guessed the identity of the king, but he did not reveal the intention of returning to Chu in front of the king, it can be seen that he has not made up his mind in his heart, if the king comes forward to solicit, if it is done, it will be fine, if it is not successful, there will be no room for recovery." ”
"That's right." Xiang Zhuang nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Doesn't this Bishu say that you want to see the national examination of our Great Chu State, that is to say, he will stay in Jiangdong in the near future, and there is no need to rush to recruit him, so let's wait and see what happens." ”

Hanzhong, Danshui, a flat boat is going downstream.
The night is like silk, Xu Ying is standing on the bow of the boat looking up at the vast starry sky, the cold moonlight is sprinkled from the sky, rendering her graceful body like a fairy in the Moon Palace, the convex place is convex, the place that should be warped is warped, the place that should be thin is thin enough, the big place is definitely big enough, the angry posture, bewitching, charming and suffocating.
In the sound of light footsteps, Xiaoqing bent out of the cabin, draped a fox fur on Xu Chengxiang's shoulder, and then said softly: "Childe, the night is cold, let's go into the cabin and rest." ..., Xu Cheng ignored Xiaoqing, just looked at the starry sky and said nothing.
Xiaoqing was slightly stunned, and said with some concern: "Childe, are you discerning the celestial phenomena again?" ”
As Xu Cheng's maid, Xiaoqing has also been exposed to some yin and yang theories, the so-called yin and yang theory, in fact, is the general name of the ancients for astronomy and geography, as for whether the stars in the sky and the earth have some kind of qi induction, but it is the opinion of the benevolent, the wisdom of the wise, until more than 2,000 years later, there is no conclusion.
Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't pay attention to it, Xiaoqing said curiously: "Childe, is there really a Wenqu star from the southeast?" ”
This time, Xu Cheng finally sighed softly, and said in a quiet voice: "Wenqu Star is not in the southeast but in the Central Plains, but there is a peerless star in the southeast, and this celestial phenomenon is becoming more and more chaotic. ”
"Raise the star to the southeast?" Xiao Qing looked at the night sky in the southeast direction, but only saw a large patch of chaotic and dim stars, and then looked back at the northwest night sky, but there was a large number of glowing stars, especially the main star in the middle, which was even brighter and more dazzling, almost competing with the bright moon in the sky.
At that moment, Xiaoqing said with some doubts: "Childe, there are no stars in the southeast?" ”
"Xiaoqing, you are a mortal with the naked eye, how can you see through the mysterious celestial phenomena?" Xu Yingyan smiled, and was about to say a few more words, but Wei Qi's small mouth suddenly opened into an "O" shape, and a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars also widened in an instant, Xu Ying stared straight at the southeast night sky, and his pretty face showed disbelief.
"Childe, what's wrong?" Xiaoqing was secretly frightened when she saw this.
"Emperor Star!" Xu Cheng took a breath of cold air and said in a low voice, "The southeast starry sky has also risen an emperor star, although it is not as bright as the emperor star in the northwest starry sky, but its starlight is completely different from the nearby stars, that's right, that is the emperor star, that must be the emperor star, oh my God, the two stars compete for glory, and the Chu and Han dynasties will continue?" ”
"Two stars?" Xiaoqing turned her head to look at the southeast night sky again, but what she saw was still chaos, except for a large area of dim stars, but she didn't see anything.
