Chapter 33: Suspicion Arises

i^%&*";

December 206 BC

When he learned of Qin Yuzhi's death, Gao Xiran was busy cleaning the yard to welcome Liu Wu and the child.

"Nope." I lowered my eyes and held back my crying, "I and Changxi personally brought him back, and now he is there with us."

Gao Xiran staggered, held the little guy who was following him, and muttered in a daze: "Why...... Why...... It's clear that we've come to this point...... Why ......"

"For Xiao Xu." I wiped the tears that kept overflowing from the corners of my eyes, and choked up: "I'm afraid he has had this idea for a long time, but in order to help Changxi fulfill his wish, so he has endured it until now.

"yes, you should have guessed......" Gao Xiran smiled bitterly. I should have guessed ......"

This is the fourth year since Xiao Xu's death.

Qin Yuji's death soon spread throughout the army.The soldiers who were originally under the command of Qin Yuqi mourned greatly.They all saw him off.The loss of this young general also made Xiang Yu very sad.He not only sealed the Qin Yuji Qi Xingong.He also prepared to bury him.

However, in the end, Changxi and I still declined Xiang Yu's kindness, and after cremating Qin Yu, he buried his ashes in the kapok forest of Afang Palace.

How good it would be if life was just as it first appeared.

Three days after Qin Yuqi's death, I heard from Yu Ji that a special guest had come to visit Xiang Yu.

"Cao is not injured."

I stopped helping Xiang Long tie his shirt and raised my eyebrows and asked Yu Ji, "What does this Cao Wuxian do?"

"He is Liu Bang's subordinate, the official is Zuo Sima, but it is strange to say, since he is obviously Liu Bang's subordinate, why did he secretly send someone to tell the king that Liu Bang wants to be the king in Guanzhong." Yu Ji frowned. As far as I know, Liu Bang treats his subordinates quite well."

"And no matter why he betrayed Liu Bang, at least he proved Liu Bang's intention to be king." I frowned and said in a deep voice, "What is the king going to do?"

Seeing that I looked like I was about to be a great enemy, Yu Ji smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, it's just the beginning, it's so easy to start a fight there, and even if it does, Liu Bang's current power is far from being our opponent.

"This is why Liu Bang suddenly withdrew from Xianyang and returned to the master." I thought for a while and said: "Because I know that I can't be an enemy of the Xiang clan now, and I know that my military strength is far less than Xiang Yu's 400,000 army, so Liu Bang will send everything he has gained in Xianyang to the king's camp intact, and even said that he is willing to let the king be the king of Guanzhong. You know, he has been thinking about King Huai's sentence 'the king who breaks through Qin first and enters Xianyang'. Now he is willing to give it up, which means that he must have other plans."

"The Father said the same." Yu Ji's face was gloomy. He had already realized that Liu Bang would become a great weapon, so he asked the king to set up a night banquet in Hongmen to entertain Liu Bang.

"The fire at the city gate has affected the fish in the pond." So to speak...... "I lowered my eyes." Liu Bang's subordinates will also be affected, such as ...... Mr. Zhang......"

Yu Ji saw my concern, she gently held my hand, and said softly, "The king is not such a tyrannical person.

"I'm not worried about the king." I rubbed my temples a little irritably, and said worriedly: "The king is a man who values affection, as long as I plead with Changxi, he will definitely not pursue Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang's side is not necessarily.

"When that happens, that's his problem." Yu Ji took out a pair of delicate white jade earrings from the jewelry box. The earrings were left to me by my nurse, and I was young at the time, and I didn't understand why she suddenly gave them to me, and it wasn't until the next day, when I saw her commit suicide in the room, that I realized that she was trying to apologize to her husband for betraying her, and in fact, her husband had known about her fornication, and her husband loved her very much, and decided to forgive her for her betrayal, and to continue living with her, but she could not accept his kindness, and the condemnation of her conscience made her miserable, and she thought of dying."

"Are you trying to say that even if Mr. Zhang sacrifices his life in the future, I should turn a blind eye?" I shook my head." It's so hard. Watching my benefactor die and not being indifferent. It's not my choice."

"It's not a choice, it's something you have to do." Yu Ji lifted my chin and made me look her in the eyes. I still remember what you said to me at the beginning.You said that you should have had this consciousness a long time ago.Each has its own master.Since you have made a choice.You will not always think about the relationship between children and daughters.Liu Bang is now gradually growing in power.Ambition is gradually revealed.It is a matter of time before you turn against the king.But as a long-term person.At that time, even if you will stand in a different position from Mr. Zhang and Brother Bu Doubt, who are under Liu Bang's command.Even if the Zhang family has a lot of kindness to you.I am not ready to intercede for them.Xue'er.Since you have already made a choice.What are you afraid of now? .”

I was dumbfounded. Of course I remember these words. At that time, I had just learned that Ziying was king, and although I learned that he was the son of Fusu Gongzi, I was still ready to send him to the guillotine.

However, when the news of the child's death really came, I was not only sad, but the guilt in my heart was the most painful for me.

"Sister Yu, I always wonder why I have experienced so many things, if I hadn't met Changxi, Wu Yi, or Mrs. Zhang, would I have lived a quiet life as an ordinary dancer in Xianyang Palace, just as my adoptive mother expected?" I muttered, "But I want to think about it, I'm going to go back to my current life eventually, because I can't go back."

In troubled times, I can't afford to pay attention to these love-hate entanglements, it's not that I'm weak, it's not that I'm lucky, it's just that I will meet a lot of people in my life, and there are a few who really stop and stay.

Life is a ferryport that will eventually become barren, and even I myself am a passerby......
