Chapter 13: Passionate Speeches
The argument between Ke Bo and the system once again ended in a perfunctory part of the system, and the explanation given by the system was that if it wanted to revive the hegemony, there could be no ties, including Yu Ji.
Therefore, the system took the opportunity to "support" Yu Ji, however, Ke Bo attributed this operation to the system's communiqué personal vendetta, but there was nowhere to complain, so he could only acquiesce to the result.
Xiang Yu returned to his former residence, which was dilapidated and dilapidated because of disrepair.
Wearing a black mask, walking in the crowd, looking at the men and women around him, Xiang Yu's heart was mixed.
Returning to his hometown, looking at his homeland, and recalling the boatman's sentence "Yizu Wangye", Xiang Yu couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Be careful!"
A piercing shout instantly alerted Xiang Yu, and between exhaling and breathing, Xiang Yu saw a little girl sitting on the ground playing three steps away from him.
The little girl blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Xiang Yu with a smile, and next to the little girl, a huge stone tablet was about to fall.
Before he had time to think, Xiang Yu strode forward, holding the stele with one hand, and holding the girl in his arms with the other, and then took the girl back to the safety of the side.
The stone tablet without support fell to the ground, everyone applauded, Xiang Yu put down the little girl, and when she was about to leave in a low-key manner for the time being, the girl's mother came to Xiang Yu, stopped Xiang Yu, and nodded her head to show her gratitude.
"Thank you for your help, I don't know your name?"
"I ......"
Xiang Yu wanted to perfunctory, but seeing the middle-aged woman in front of him, Xiang Yu felt a little familiar, and the woman in front of him also recognized Xiang Yu behind the black mask through Xiang Yu's eyes.
"Xiaoqing?"
"Brother Xiang?
Sure enough, eyes can't deceive people, after so many years, Xiaoqing recognized Xiang Yu at a glance through his eyes.
"Brother Xiang, why are you covered with a black cloth?"
The surrounding onlookers heard the name of "Brother Xiang", coupled with the burly figure of the person in front of him, and the act of supporting the three hundred catties of stone tablet with one hand just now, it is not difficult for people with a little brain to judge that the person in front of them must be their pride, and their Chu overlord --- Xiang Yu.
Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Xiang Yu decided not to dodge anymore, tore off the black cloth on his face, and the people around him were a little slow to react for a while after seeing Xiang Yu's appearance.
"King Xiang!" It wasn't until one of them took the lead in kneeling that the others knelt on the ground one after another, and the scene was very spectacular.
"Everyone, please. ”
Everyone got up, Xiang Yu quickly conceived his own language in his mind, and the act of saving the girl just now undoubtedly won everyone's favor again. After all, it is more appropriate to be their king, or to call it the former king, Xiang Yu is a leader, and as a leader, the most important thing is naturally credibility.
"I'm back. ”
Xiang Yu's words were like a fire in winter, which instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the people, but the emperor's new clothes were not yet hot, and they were torn by a child on the spot:
"My brother went to war with you a few years ago and hasn't come back yet. ”
Finally, the child's words seemed to trigger a chain reaction:
"My husband's family of five is going to war with you, you pay back my husband!"
"My son is the only son in my family, and I haven't even seen him yet. ”
"When my brother went to fight with you, I took care of my family at home, and now my brother has not heard from me, I wish I had been the one who went to fight in the first place. ”
“......”
The cries and complaints continued, and these sounds converged into a ball, constantly impacting Xiang Yu's brain. Xiang Yu felt as if his rat was about to explode, and the people around him began to rotate rapidly, until Xiang Yu could no longer see the figure clearly, and everything exploded.
"Buzzing ......" This was the only sound Xiang Yu could hear, guilt, self-blame, shame...... Countless negative emotions come to the face.
"Enough!" Finally, Xiang Yu erupted, he roared angrily, and in just an instant, everyone present fell silent.
After Xiang Yu pondered for a long time, he spoke:
"At the beginning, 8,000 Jiangdong disciples fought the world with me, that was because they trusted me Xiang Yu, but I was ashamed of them and Jiangdong fathers. I shouldn't have gone back to Jiangdong, I should have killed myself by the Wujiang River, but if I had done that, would you have been able to make your hearts a little happier? That's why I'm back here, back to the place where I was born and raised, back to where it all began. ”
"I came back here for one purpose, and that was to start here, and it all started here, and everything will start here again. Although my Jiangdong place is small, it is a thousand miles away, and our Jiangdong disciples are all hot-blooded tough guys. ”
Xiang Yu's words did not cause much turmoil, but they must have had a certain effect in the hearts of the people, so Xiang Yu continued:
"You all say that I, Xiang Yu, am a generation of overlords, but I hope that everyone will be like me, fighting bravely to protect their homeland, and this is the case when the tyranny of King Qin was overthrown, and now the rule of Liu Bang is overthrown. Perhaps, you think that none of the 8,000 people I took back have returned, so you dare not follow me anymore. However, what I want to say is that the 8,000 Jiangdong disciples all fought to the last moment, and none of them died for me, and the reason why I survived in the world was that I only wanted to revive the hegemony, help everyone rebuild their homeland, and defend their homeland for the 8,000 souls. ”
"Now, I want to know, is anyone willing to follow me and help me gain the world again?"
Everyone was still silent, Xiang Yu glanced at the people around him, saw that everyone was unresponsive, and when he was about to leave, a thin middle-aged man pushed aside the crowd, came to Xiang Yu, and said to Xiang Yu with some hesitation:
"Do you think I can?"
Xiang Yu patted him on the shoulder, his eyes began to be a little rosy, and he said excitedly:
"Of course, you're the warrior I'm looking for. ”
"I'll come too. A strong, shirtless man raised his hand and said.
"Count me in. ”
"Count me in. ”
“......”
After someone took the lead, everyone was no longer reserved, whether it was old or young, male or female, they all shouted enthusiastically and showed loyalty.
After some statistics, there were 200 people who signed up to follow Xiang Yu on the spot, of course, this is after removing those who can't go to the battlefield at a glance. After all, some people look too weak and can't help it, and it is estimated that it is difficult to raise a weapon, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and when they are on the battlefield, it is estimated that it will be a burden, so it is better to keep it at home and be a good backup team.
"It's only 200 people, which is far from enough. Xiang Yu sat on the side of the road, munching on dry food while muttering, "Before, the boatman said that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangdong, excluding the elderly, women, and children, it is estimated that there are 100,000 people, is it that he is blinding me?"
"That's not right, according to Xiang Yu's memory documents, there are indeed so many people in Jiangdong, but what about people?" Xiang Yu was puzzled.
"Ding, warm reminder, Jiangdong refers to an area, not an existence, understand?
The prompt of the system woke up the person in the dream, Xiang Yu slapped his thigh and said:
"That's right! Why did I forget this! Sure enough, I was a little overwhelmed by this broken dry food, and my brain was stuck. ”
Xiang Yu got up and came to the front of a shop on the side of the road, and said to the shopkeeper:
"Help me write some notices and post them in the villages, I need everyone's help. ”
The shopkeeper looked at Xiang Yu, but his body was completely inactive. After Xiang Yu saw the sluggish shopkeeper, he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"I know everything, but I can't write. The shopkeeper replied weakly.
Xiang Yu asked next to each other on the street, but none of them could write.
"Looks like I'm going to have to do it myself. After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he came to a shop specializing in selling silk silk, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and prepared to write on the silk when he realized a very sad problem.
Xiang Yu didn't like writing since he was a child, he only liked to practice martial arts and practice swords, and although Ke Bo, who was attached to Xiang Yu's body, could write, he wrote simplified characters, and after writing it, everyone would definitely not understand it. Thinking that other people would help, there were all peasants here, and no one knew how to read at all.
"It's a bit awkward. Xiang Yu sighed helplessly, "It seems that I can only find someone to tell me, I originally wanted to have a sense of formality, but now it seems that I have thought too much about myself." ”
After everything was arranged, Xiang Yu finally had time to catch his breath and lay on the extra grass bed in a farmer's house, although it was simple, but fortunately, it was soft and suitable for the night.
Xiang Yu felt sleepiness hit his heart, a sense of weightlessness wrapped Xiang Yu, his eyes closed and opened, and when he was about to fall asleep, the feeling of weightlessness instantly became more intense, Xiang Yu felt that his body was falling rapidly, and the speed of falling was getting faster and faster, and finally, when he was about to the end, Xiang Yu sat up from the bed with a "poof".
Sweat soaked through his clothes, and a chill came from behind Xiang Yu. He gasped for air, as if he had lost his soul.
An old woman came to Xiang Yu's side, took a rag to help Xiang Yu wipe the sweat beads on Xiang Yu's forehead, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Poor boy, I don't know what you've been through, but it's definitely a scary thing. ”
After the mood eased a little, Xiang Yu was in both hands, carefully looking at these hands of "pulling out the mountain and covering the world". The green tendons on Xiang Yu's arms bulged, and his sturdy forearms looked stronger and more powerful than Mr. Bodybuilder's.
Ke Bo's real name envies Xiang Yu's figure, if there is a muscular man in this era, Xiang Yu is absolutely a strong man in ten thousand, and he is more worthy of the title of "unique through the ages".
The old woman twisted the sweat in the rags, and then helped Xiang Yu wipe the sweat again, Xiang Yu nodded, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly to express her gratitude.
"Rest early, if you want to gather the team as soon as possible, you must recuperate. With that, the old woman turned and walked towards the room where she was sleeping.
"Recuperate", the old woman probably came up with this word after racking her brains for a while.
Xiang Yu lay on the bed, put the old woman's affairs aside, and just looked at the roof blankly, there was a hole in the roof, through which the sky could be clearly seen.
The sky was cloudless, starry, shining extraordinary, Xiang Yubu fell into contemplation again:
"Is it a mistake to go back to Koto?"
"Is self-slaughter the right choice?"
