Five days of non-stop, everyone was a little tired, especially Zhang Budo, he lacked exercise, at this time Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and the two fellows were sweating, and the summer weather was hot and dry, so that Zhang Budo felt that he was almost dehydrated.

Even if Xiang Zhuang has practiced martial arts since childhood, he feels tired at this time, but as long as he bypasses Dangshan and walks for half a day, he can arrive in Yu County, where it is still okay to rest for a day, replenish dry food, and drink a little wine.

Soon, there was a small river in front of him, Zhang Budo was overjoyed, and the horse went straight to the river, the hot and dry weather made people have the urge to take a bath, at this time Xiang Zhuang also saw the winding river in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, and drove the horse straight to the river, but at this time, Zhang Budo had taken off his coat and jumped into the river, the river water was warm and cold, making people feel very comfortable, he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Xiang Zhuang, come and take a bath." ”

Xiang Zhuang was also unequivocal, his clothes were too lazy to drag, he jumped directly into the river, bathed in the river, held the sweet river water in his hand, and poured it into his mouth, which was very sober.

Xiang Zhuang has gotten along with Zhang Budo in the past few days, and has gradually become acquainted, Zhang Budo is not as arrogant as he thought, but the education he received since he was a child is different from his own, and the Zhang family is a descendant of Han Xiang, Zhang Liang is bent on recovering South Korea, which will bring Zhang Budo a difference in personality, only these few days of getting along, the relationship between the two has gradually improved.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang naughtily splashed water on Zhang Budo, and Zhang Budo immediately counterattacked, and the two played a water battle in the river, and the two guys on the shore laughed.

I don't know how long it took, both of them got tired of playing, returned to the shore, took off their wet clothes, took off their baggage on the horse, and soon, changed into dry clothes, and the two sat on the shore, chatting with each other.

"In three days' journey, you should be able to get to Suiyang, and when you get there, I'm going to the best tavern to drink!" Xiang Zhuang fantasized, and on the side, Zhang Budo laughed and said: "Brother Xiang, don't worry, when the time comes, I will be the east, let's eat and drink well!" ”

Both of them laughed, and at this time, Xiang Zhuang looked back at the naked // exposed Yansun bow in the horse bag, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Gongsun, this Yansun bow, from the workmanship and strength, it can be seen that he is an extraordinary quality, it should be a very good treasure bow, but your father, why would he offer him?" ”

Zhang Budo was asked by Xiang Zhuang, and couldn't help sighing, this bow is really valuable, this is the treasure bow used by the ancestors of the Zhang family, but since Zhang Hai, that is, his father's great-great-grandfather, no one in the Zhang family has been able to pull it away, and after a hundred years, the Zhang family has gradually abandoned the martial arts, only Tuwenzhi, and no one practices martial arts anymore......

After a long silence, Zhang Budo sighed lightly and told Xiang Zhuang: "Actually, this bow is the treasure bow used by my wife's great-grandfather. ”

"Mrs. Great-Ancestor?" Xiang Zhuang asked curiously.

"Hehe, it's my father's great-great-grandfather, he was a very brave general." Zhang Bu was suspected of entering the boundless memories, but on the side, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised: "The great general of South Korea?" ”

Xiang Zhuang actually knew that his wife's great-grandfather was a Korean general, Zhang Budo looked at Xiang Zhuang vigilantly, and after a long time, Zhang Budo said suspiciously: "Do you know my ancestor?" ”

Xiang Zhuang saw that Zhang Budo was already suspicious, so he had to sigh: "Actually, I know that your father is Zhang Liang, and you are Zhang Budo......"

Xiang Zhuang's words made Zhang Budo secretly hate in his heart, how could he know his details, and after a short silence, Zhang Buzhi said, "Have you investigated us?" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Actually, I just heard a passer-by inadvertently talk about the details of your Gongsun family......

Both of them were silent, I don't know how long it took, Zhang Budo patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I treat you as a brother, in fact, this is not a secret, our Zhang family and your Xiang family are looking forward to the re-emergence of their own country, you say, right?" ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, both of them smiled knowingly, this matter, no longer mentioned, at this time, from a distance, faintly heard the sound of laughter and scolding, Xiang Zhuang supported the ground with his right hand, a side rollover, ran to the horse, pumped // out of the red shadow, looked around, Xiang Zhuang carefully identified, the sound came from the north, he couldn't help but be curious, told Zhang Budo to wait in place, turn over on the horse, and run to the north in the woods.

Looking at Xiang Zhuang's back gradually moving away, Zhang Budo was afraid that Xiang Zhuang would lose, so he took two men and hurriedly rode on the horse and chased after him.

。。。。。。

In the depths of the woods, a wave of mountain bandits with hideous faces, there are about more than ten people, holding a two-foot short blade, blocking a group of people who are in a hurry to hurry, in the team, the leader is a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen years old, he is not tall, but between his eyebrows, there is a kind of murderous atmosphere, and the clothes on his body are also extremely old, it can be seen that his life is not rich, behind him, five officials, holding four-foot long swords, ready to attack, and the bandits.

It can be seen that this wave of people should be the officials who escorted the prisoners, especially the four-foot copper sword in the hands of the officials, which is a unique long sword of the Qin Dynasty, their workmanship is fine, and the heat is just right, which can increase the toughness of the copper sword, so the sword is at least one to two feet longer than the folk sword and the sword left by the descendants of the Six Kingdoms.

At this time, the leader of the mountain bandits raised his head and laughed: "What taboo did you commit today, you actually ran into an official errand, it seems that you are going to waste Lao Tzu's sweat again, and you will kill for a while, hahaha......"

The laughter of the mountain bandits was extremely hideous, and the officials were all slightly flustered, and the person in the old clothes at the head could see that it was the leader of this group, he couldn't help but sneer, and rebuked the mountain bandits: "The laws of Daqin, robbery, and murder, should be punished with capital punishment, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid! We're scared to death! ......" The head of the mountain bandit laughed fiercely, drew // out of the short blade, and went straight to the man, the man saw the mountain bandit killing, and hurriedly drew // out of the long sword, but the copper sword was too long, the speed of pulling // out was slowed down, seeing that the mountain bandit was about to kill in front of him, the man hurriedly retreated, but when the copper sword was drawn // out, the short blade of the mountain bandit had been split in front of him, and the middle-aged man closed his eyes tightly and raised his hand to block......

Life and death are only in an instant, the short blade of the mountain bandit did not split the middle-aged man, but let out a heart-rending cry, the middle-aged man was surprised, slowly opened his eyes, but saw that on the right arm of the mountain bandit, a feather arrow pierced fiercely, and the blood flowed down the mountain bandit's arm.

The mountain bandit was in pain, turned his head to look, not far away, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, holding a fiery red bow and arrow, was laughing at himself, he couldn't help roaring, abandoned the middle-aged man, ran towards the boy, the middle-aged man couldn't help shouting: "Brother, run away......!" ”

The mountain bandit ran closer and closer, the young man did not panic, but from the horse bag, he drew a feather arrow again, pulled the bow like a full moon, aimed at the mountain bandit's eyebrows, the mountain bandit's right hand holding the sword began to tremble, and the footsteps stopped, and after a short stalemate, the fear in the mountain bandit's heart swelled rapidly, hurriedly threw down the sword, and fled north.

。。。。。。

The mountain bandits fled in a panic, causing everyone to burst into laughter, the tense atmosphere just now has disappeared, the man in old clothes stared at the direction of the mountain bandits' escape, spat out phlegm, and scolded: "Dog //day//, let Lao Tzu meet next time, and flatten your cottage!" ”

The middle-aged man turned around and instructed the officials to count the number of people, rest for a while, and prepare to leave for a while, after that, he came to the young man on horseback, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly: "Just now, thanks to the help of the little brother." ”

The man on the horse was Xiang Zhuang, and when he saw Liu Bang coming to salute, he hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "How can you worry about it." ”

The middle-aged man has a very good impression of Xiang Zhuang, and he is young, accurate in archery, burly in physique, and when he sees the mountain bandits killing, he is not afraid of danger and has a good response, which is really rare, and he can't help laughing: "People in Xia Surabaya County, who live in Fengxiang, are the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, and are ordered to escort prisoners to Lishan to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb, passing through here, and encountering mountain bandits, if it is not for the help of the little brother, the consequences are unimaginable, I don't know the name of the little brother......?" ”

Xiang Zhuang had dismounted at this time, and when he heard that this person called himself Liu Bang, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at the person in front of him carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "The person who is under the prime minister, the surname is Xiang, and the name is Zhuang." ”

"Xiang Zhuang?" Liu Bang repeated the name, and couldn't help laughing: "But after Chu General Xiang Yan?" ”

"You know my grandfather?" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Soon, Liu Bang laughed angrily, "As a Chu person, how can you not know General Xiang Yan?" ”

Liu Bang immediately sighed lightly, and said: "Remember, when the Qin army stepped into Chu, General Xiang Yan commanded the army to resist the enemy and fought fiercely in the Jiangling area, but in the end, General Xiang Yan failed to stop the Qin army's footsteps southward, and the Chu State also perished soon after. ”

Liu Bang seemed to have experienced this battle, and said it extremely sadly, causing Xiang Zhuang to be sad and embarrassed, and soon, Xiang Zhuang looked at Nibang and asked, "Have you participated in the Battle of Jiangling?" ”

Liu Bang shook his hand and smiled: "It's just hearsay." ”

Both of them laughed, looking at Liu Bang in old clothes in front of him, his physique is not very tall, he belongs to a typical medium build, and, from the wrinkles on his face, it can be seen that he is almost forty years old this year, but his physique is still very tough, it can be said that he is a typical uncle-level character, it is hard to imagine that he is such an inconspicuous figure, he actually became the historical Han Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Han Kingdom!

Perhaps, it is because he is older, so he has to be calmer than Xiang Yu, more likely than Xiang Yu to employ people, and to analyze the situation, so as to fish in troubled waters and unify the world, but Xiang Zhuang thought about it carefully, Liu Bang is probably not fishing in troubled waters, and can control Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Fan Hao and other generals, Liu Bang must have his unique leadership skills.

Such a difficult opponent, but at this time let himself meet, Xiang Zhuang's heart flashed murderous intentions, Liu Bang is just the head of the Surabaya Pavilion at this time, a little loach who has no ability to swallow clouds and spit fog, killing him at this time, you can remove Xiang Yu's No. 1 opponent, and lay the foundation for the unification of the world by Chu State.

If the opportunity is lost at this time, the little loach will become a big dragon, it will be difficult to deal with, but history is history after all, he has his own pace, Liu Bang is dead, there will be 'horse tie' and 'Hu Bang' appear, they will be Xiang Yu's opponents, and they can compete for the world, and they seem to think about the problem too simply.

Thinking like this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing dryly, and gave up the idea of killing Liu Bang, and not far away, Zhang Budo hurriedly arrived with two guys, and when he saw Xiang Zhuang and Liu Bang standing opposite each other, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Xiang, who is this person?" ……”

Zhang Budo's arrival broke the embarrassing situation, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing: "This is Liu Bang, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, Brother Liu." ”

Xiang Zhuang pointed to Zhang Budo again and introduced: "This is my good brother, Gongsun Tai. ”

The two of them each hugged their fists, gave a deep salute, Xiang Zhuang was beside him, and told the story of driving away the mountain bandits and saving Liu Bang, Gongsun Tai learned that Liu Bang was going to Chang'an Liyang, and couldn't help laughing: "It's too coincidental, we are going to Suiyang, and we can be companions on the road." ”

Liu Bang also laughed: "Hehe, even so, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
