Yutai County, Donghai County, in the vast reeds.

In a slightly old wooden house, several figures were sitting opposite each other.

"Zhao Tuo has successively defeated Minyue, Nanyue and Xiou, and almost pacified most of Baiyue. The battle has come to this point, what is Xiang Ji doing? ”

"Didn't he say that after joining the army, he would find an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Tuo, so as to avenge the great enmity between the Xiang clan and my Chu State? Why didn't Zhao Tuo die, but he made contributions all the way in the Qin army, first as a doctor, last year as an official doctor, and this year he got the title of a public doctor! ”

"This kid shouldn't have really voted for Qin, right?"

Jing Ju yelled in his mouth, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Around him, there are also anti-Qin core figures such as Jing Tong, Xiang Sheng, Xiang Tuo, and Xiang Lu.

This is the first meeting after more than half a year.

In the past two years, as all the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were moved into the Six Kingdoms City in Guanzhong by the emperor, the Qin government's civilian control over the Kanto region was slightly relaxed.

The government of each county is busy with government affairs, carrying out various government decrees issued by the central government. Under the complexity of affairs, the local government is no longer as wanted and hunted down the remnants of the Six Nations as it was when it was first reunified.

As soon as the general environment was relaxed, Jing Tong and others found the opportunity to leave this hiding place in Mizusawa.

Everyone is from the aristocracy of the Chu State, and they have been accustomed to the rich and noble life of brocade clothes and jade food since they were children, and they gritted their teeth to hide in the harsh environment in order to save their lives, but now they have other options, so they are naturally going to run out.

Through families such as the Liu family of Xutai, who are grateful for the old days, they have obtained legal household registration and verification. As soon as he changes, he has a new identity after changing his name like Liu Ji, and he can appear in the outside world openly.

Of course, Jing Tong and others also knew that the general trend of the world had been decided, and when the Qin State had been running the world for nearly ten years, and the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms had been moved away, there was basically not much left of the anti-Qin forces of the Six Kingdoms in the Kwantung region.

In addition, there is the example of the failure of the Xiang clan's first uprising, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms can't make any big waves, so after going out, they are all kinds of cautious outside, just trying to protect themselves.

The reason why they returned to this area of water again this time was that the Qin army had destroyed another large Yue country in the south.

The news of Zhao Tuo's conquest of Xi'ou and the killing of Alamo, the king of Xi'ou, has spread all over the world under the propaganda of the Qin State government, making countless people happy and praised, and at the same time, it has once again cast a shadow on the hearts of these remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

"Zhao Tuo, a thief, is really a natural talent. I heard that those Yue people are cruel and barbaric by nature, and they have hundreds of Yue geographical advantages to rely on, the last time that Tu Sui led an army of 100,000 to conquer Xiou, they were killed by them, and even Tu Sui himself was killed. is such a ferocious place, but it was conquered by Zhao Tuo, who else in this world can stop him! ”

While being horrified by Zhao Tuo's achievements, Jing Ju couldn't help but vent the negative emotions in his heart on another person.

Item.

This news that he kept saying that he was going to assassinate Zhao Tuo was promoted again!

Along with the news of the Qin army's conquest of Xiou, there were also documents from the front line to promote and report merits.

The knighthood is promoted in the army, and the reward after promotion is transmitted to the county where the recipient is from home through a document, and the local government is responsible for issuing the reward.

Because Xiang Ji enlisted in the army as Liu Yu, a son of the Liu family, this reward was directly notified to the Liu family, and Jing Tong and others took this opportunity to know the news of Xiang Ji.

Jing Ju was very dissatisfied with this.

said that he would assassinate, but in a blink of an eye, he was promoted and made a fortune, which made him feel comfortable, so as soon as they met, he complained to everyone and complained about Xiang Ji's actions.

Hearing Jing Ju's words, Xiang Sheng said with a displeased face: "What Brother Jing said is not true, let me ask him Zhao Tuo is the main general of the army, and there are countless short-range guards around him, how can Xiang Ji, a newcomer to the army, approach and assassinate Zhao Tuo?" The only way to do it is naturally to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and finally win the attention of Zhao Tuo, and suddenly burst out when he is summoned and assassinate. This matter has been clearly explained to you before enlisting in the army, why should Brother Jing say such words. ”

"That's right! My brother has changed from a Qianshou to a public doctor in just three years, which is already very remarkable, who can compare with him in ordinary people? We should be happy for his promotion, so that we can have a chance to get close to Zhao Tuo. For the sake of the Six Kingdoms, my brother risked his life to assassinate Zhao Thief, such a righteous thing, how can you Jingju talk nonsense here! ”

Xiang Zhuang also glared angrily and reprimanded Jing Ju mercilessly.

Xiang Tuo's face was even colder, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Jing Ju was stared at by the three Xiang family members with big eyes, and his heart was a little weaker, but he couldn't help but reply: "The sky is high and the road is far away, and the people's hearts are unpredictable, how can we know about the affairs of his Xiang family in the south, maybe it's ......."

"Enough, dare to talk nonsense here!"

Jing Tong suddenly spoke, stopping his younger brother's nonsense.

He got up and arched his hand to the three Xiang people, and said, "Jing Ju is vain, please forgive me." He just saw that Zhao Tuo had won many battles in the south and was about to return from the conquest of Baiyue, so he was worried and did not choose to speak. ”

Seeing Jing Tong's appearance, he thought that everyone in his Xiang clan could only survive if they were blessed by the other party.

Xiang Sheng hurriedly said: "We understand, General Jing can rest assured that since Xiang Ji said that he would assassinate Zhao Tuo, with his character, he will naturally not regret it." ”

Hearing this, Jing Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I don't want Ji'er to really assassinate him." If it is owned by the Qin people today, judging from the current situation, even if the Qin State does not have Zhao Tuo, the people of the Six Kingdoms have no hope of recovering the country. So there is no need to lose his life in order to assassinate Zhao Tuo, so that Yin only has the only bloodline left. ”

Jing Tong's voice was full of sadness.

He thought of Xiang Qu, who killed himself by Suishui, and thought of Xiang Yan, who was martyred by Huaishui, and the Xiang Liang brothers who raised troops.

The Xiang family is full of loyalty.

He really didn't want to see Xiang Ji die for this.

What's more, Jing Tong has fought with Zhao Tuo many times, and he knows Zhao Tuo's skills very well, and he doesn't think that such a character can be easily assassinated by Xiang Ji.

There is a high probability that Xiang Ji gave his life in vain.

In the past two years, whenever Jing Tong thought that he had allowed Xiang Ji, an ignorant child, to behave recklessly, he felt very regretful, and felt that he was ashamed of Xiang Yan and Xiang Qu's father and son.

Especially as the documents of each title promotion of the Xiang Ji came to Xutai, the fear and regret in Jing Tongxin deepened.

The faster the title rises, the closer it is to the assassination.

Jing Tong couldn't bear it, and this time he summoned the clansmen of the Xiang clan here to remedy this matter.

After taking a deep breath, Jing Tong said solemnly to Xiang Sheng, Xiang Zhuang and the others: "I hope that you can use the secret words of the Xiang clan as a book for Xiang and let him give up the assassination." Revenge is no longer desirable, and I hope he will come back with his life. ”

Everyone was stunned.

A few days later, a letter sent by the Liu family of Xutai, mixed with letters written by locals to the children of the frontline, was passed on by the postman all the way to the front line of Xiou, thousands of miles away.

It's early autumn.

The Qin soldiers stationed in Xiou Tuntian received letters from their hometowns one after another.

"Haha, I knew that without me by my side, Lao Fan's life would definitely not be interesting, so he wrote to me."

Liu Bang held a letter from Juchao in his hand, and he grinned with a grin.

At this time, he saw the same letter next to him.

"Hey, Brother Yu, why are you red?"
