Through Yu Ji, I knew that the situation of King Chu Huai was not so good now.

At least the current Xiang Yu has begun to take shape, and King Chu Huai is now just a puppet, a justifiable reason for Xiang Yu to raise the army.

Yu Ji couldn't help but sigh when she said it deeply.

I said, "In that case, why did your father go to Julu?" ”

"No, no, now the Xiang family's power is gradually developing, and the Nine Rings are distributed all over Dongwu, and recruiting troops and horses in private has begun to take shape, if it goes on like this...... I'm afraid that on the day when the Xiang family succeeds, there will be no King Chu Huai in the world. Yu Ji said.

Although she is the daughter of King Chu Huai, she grew up with her mother since she was a child, so she does not have the surname Xiong, but her flesh and blood relatives cannot be concealed, she is such a father, and now that her mother is gone, her father is her only relative in the world.

Seeing Yu Ji's sadness, I couldn't help but comfort: "Okay, since I chose to stand on your father's side, I will definitely be able to find a countermeasure in the future." ”

"Well, I believe my brother." She said, "Brother, let me take you around the manor, this is your first time here, and ...... Have you eaten a meal? ”

"Haha, don't you say I forgot, I'm hungry now!" I patted my belly and said.

Yu Ji covered her mouth and smiled, she got up gently, packed up her body, came outside and said, "Ya'er, prepare some wine and food!" ”

"Yes, County Lord!" A sweet woman's voice came from outside.

Yu Ji and I looked outside, only to find that in this manor, the maids were all beautiful and very beautiful, Yu Ji told me that this was also because of the picky relationship of the bear's heart.

Xiong Xin is not only picky about himself, but also very picky about the people around him, such as these maids, in fact, it doesn't matter if the maid is beautiful or not, but if Xiong Xin sees an ugly girl, he will not be able to eat.

I said in my heart that there is no one here, this is a severe dependence on appearance.

A table full of good dishes made me hungry.

A big bowl in front of me, the noodles in it are at least three catties, and there is a whole sauce of pork knuckle, braised river shrimp in oil, edamame in clear water, and a lot of white cut meat, a lot of white cut meat, there are mutton, donkey meat, horse meat, rabbit meat.

"No beef?" I laughed because I thought the horse meat was much more expensive than the beef, and the horse meat was not tasty.

Yu Ji was next to the stone table in the pavilion, and she looked at me with her cheeks in tow: "If my brother wants to eat beef, I will tell someone to get it, it is autumn ploughing, and you can't kill cows, but if your brother wants to eat it, you can still get it." ”

"No, I just asked casually, this horse meat is also rare." I said.

"That brother eats and sees, this horse is Hu Ma, a war horse captured by Daqin and the Hu people when they were fighting, but those war horses are all short horses, and they are transported to various places for eating, ordinary war horses can't be eaten, that is illegal." She said softly.

I put a chicken leg covered in sauce in my mouth, and with a tug of my hand, a large bone was pulled out, and the rest of the chicken was chewed in my mouth, and it tasted wonderful.

This is also because all the way to Liaocheng, we all eat dry food, today is wild vegetable cake, tomorrow is also wild vegetable cake, the day after tomorrow is still the day.

The repetition of food every day has already made me feel very boring.

At this time, the food that suddenly came seemed to be my savior.

"Another bowl of noodles!" I gave the basin-sized noodle bowl to the girl Xiaoyun.

Xiao Yun covered her mouth and chuckled: "Big brother really has a good appetite!" ”

"Xiao Yun, go get more noodles." Yu Ji on the side said.

"Yes, County Lord!" Xiao Yun left with the noodle bowl, and when she came, it was the two maids who came over with noodles, after all, there were too many noodles.

"It seems that Xiongtu is very suitable for the taste of Liaocheng sauce elbow." A distant voice came from afar and appeared behind me.

I turned my head sharply and found that I didn't know when King Chu Huai had come.

I was about to get up, but King Chu Huai pressed my shoulder and said, "Don't be so polite, here, I won't call myself a widow, I'm just a father and the owner of a manor." ”

"I don't know that King Huai is coming, please forgive the villain's powerlessness." I laughed.

"I didn't expect you to come." He sat down across from me, took a sip of wine, and said, "Now I am of little use to you, and if you come to me for help, then I can't help you." ”

He drank a big sip of this glass of wine, and he drank it very helplessly.

Yu Ji got up and said, "Dad, brother, I'll go and ask the next person to prepare a few more appetizers!" ”

I swallowed the meat in my mouth, almost choking: "King Huai should know something, Xiang Yu doesn't want me to live." ”

"I know."

"Then why didn't King Huai catch me?" I looked at King Huai.

Suddenly, the atmosphere also became cold.

King Huai clenched his fists and said: "The Xiang family is ambitious, and wants to blackmail me everywhere, so that I can be controlled by them, you have a good relationship with my daughter, and now I believe in you more......"

"But you still want to send Ruyi out, the reason why Ruyi didn't come to you in the first place was because I was afraid of this marriage." I said.

King Huai glanced at me: "If you stand in my place, do you think I still have a choice?" Now that the bloodline of the King of Chu is left, I am the only one left......"

"How is this possible!" I exclaimed, "At that time, I knew that the Qin army had broken through the Chu State, and the nobles of the Chu State had all gone south!" ”

"Haha, it's all south, yes! But are you going back to what they're going to do south? ”

"I don't know."

King Chu Huai's eyes burst out with strong hatred: "Nine Rings joined forces to force my brothers and sisters to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, and at that time, I was living among the people, I was just a concubine, but then Xiang Liang found me, and he knew that only by letting me, a person with the blood of the Chu royal family, stand up, can I gather the old department of Chu!" ”

"All in the sea?!" I gasped.

"Those things that seem to be above board on the surface, but they are actually very dirty behind the scenes, do you think I want to marry my daughter to that reckless man? But if I don't do this, I will die sooner or later, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that the bloodline of the Chu State will be cut off like this! If this is the case, even if Da Chu gets back on his feet in the future, it will be the Xiang family who will be the king! King Chu Huai was very excited.

I was silent, put down my chopsticks, and poured myself a sip of wine.

King Chu Huai said: "I found something on this trip to Julu......

"Oh?"

"The core of the Xiang family army is not a person with the surname Xiang, but a nine-link link!"

As soon as these words came out, I was also taken aback, and I said: "Impossible, the Nine Rings are just a group of generals or wise generals, and now there are only eight of them left, and they usually spill blood for Xiang Yu, how can they be the core people?" ”

"You are wrong, although these people seem to be Xiang Yu's subordinates, but the ability of the eight people is really amazing, the eight of them are all strange people, they know three hundred years, they know three hundred years, and the eight people have one heart, in a very short period of time, they have gathered 80,000 troops!" King Chu Huai said.

"Hiss......"

I gasped, you must know that the current Qin State, the population is only three or four million, and gathering 80,000 people at once is like finding 10 million or 20 million people in the current 1.4 billion China! Such a concept is very amazing.

This is also why Zhang Han does not lead too many troops every time, even when he slaughtered the city at that time, he only brought 50,000 people, and now the population is very small, and it is not easy to lead troops.

I said, "If that's the case, then it's going to be a problem." ”

"Yes, the Nine Links are now the most elite group of people in the Chu State, these individuals have mysterious origins, but they are all talents, Xiang Yu has joined forces with these people, and now I want to take back the dominance and revitalize the Chu State, this ...... It's too hard. As he spoke, King Chu Huai shook his head and sighed bitterly.

I said: "Actually, let's think about it from another angle, we don't have to win over allies in Chudi, now there are many rebels in the north, and now they are brewing, as long as we unite them and let them and the Xiang family army restrain each other, and we immediately find some opportunities to develop ourselves in them, and we can also fight for a lot of opportunities!" ”

"North?"

"Yes, I have a hunch that something big is going to happen in the north." Of course, I won't say anything about Liu Bang.

But my words immediately made King Chu Huai laugh: "Okay, well, if there is really a day of reversal, I will decide your son-in-law!" ”
