Chapter 25: Drunken White Snake
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the mountain road is difficult, Liu Bang's wine strength is surging at this time, and his steps have become staggering, the blur in front of him, the rising wine strength, Liu Bang almost fell down several times, all this was seen by Zhou Bo, he didn't care about himself, carried Liu Bang, and walked quickly with everyone on the mountain road.
Maybe it's because everyone is excited to take refuge in themselves, maybe it's because of the release of everyone and timid, Liu Bang's consciousness has always stayed on these things, he seems to be dreaming, dreaming that he has thousands of troops and horses, galloping on the straight road built by the first emperor, any force that dares to obstruct himself will be crushed, but the next second, his dream changed again, he lived in the mountains, pulled up the banner, hundreds of minions surrounded him, chanting 'king', he looked up and laughed, pointed to the distance, and yelled "Go!" In the next second, his dream returned to the past, his daughter-in-law Lu Pheasant was working at home, an old man came to beg, Lu Pheasant took out the beans to fill the old man's hunger, the old man looked at the children playing in the yard, laughed, and told Lu Pheasant that her son would become the supreme in the future, and she, because of her son, became unspeakably expensive, and returned home, Lu Pheasant told himself about it, Liu Bang hurried to chase the old man, the old man saw Liu Bang and suddenly realized that the woman just now was Liu Bang's family, so he told Liu Bang, 'Long Congyun, The tiger follows the wind, the wind and clouds change suddenly, and the dragon and tiger fight' Liu Bang didn't understand his meaning, but the old man had already stepped afar, claiming to be Xu Cheng, he had a fate, and he would meet each other.
A series of dreams as if immersive, Liu Bang seemed to have finished his life in an instant, at this time, his consciousness gradually recovered, the scene in front of him was also clearly visible, at this time, the moon was already hanging in the air, Zhou Bo and others were resting by the tree, maybe too tired, many people had fallen asleep, three burly teenagers patrolled back and forth around the woods, and everyone's safety was ensured.
In this way, Liu Bang closed his eyes again, wanting to calm down and think about how to go forward in the future.
Maybe it's because of the drinking, Liu Bang always felt restless after waking up, he couldn't think quietly, if the court knew that he had released prisoners privately, I am afraid that the vicinity of Pei County would not be able to live for a long time, and he must travel to the deep mountains, so as to avoid the arrest of the government, suddenly, a very familiar mountain name appeared in Liu Bang's mind: Mangdang Mountain.
About a watchday, Liu Bang woke up everyone, at this time has not left the sight of the government, must hurry as soon as possible, hurriedly prepare, Liu Bang and others threw away some useless things, lightly traveled, Liu Bang led the horse, everyone went to the mountains together.
By the moonlight, everyone lit a few torches, although the mountain road is rugged, but the speed of everyone at this time is not slow, Liu Bang because of the wine, although he has been slightly sober, but the footsteps are still unsteady, the horse is led by Ji Xin, Liu Bang is supported by Zhou Bo, walking with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
Suddenly, there was a big movement in front of the people, several people howled and ran back, suddenly, the team was in chaos, Liu Bang and Zhou Bo walked a few steps quickly, and when they came to the front, everyone gathered around, and several people who were frightened were talking about it, Liu Bang heard from the mouth of the crowd that something seemed to be happening in front of them.
But what is it that makes everyone so alarmed? Liu Bang didn't understand yet, at this time, he stopped everyone's discussion, and said angrily: "Say it one by one, what's wrong?" ”
A person arched his hand and said: "Pavilion chief, there is a big snake in front, about dozens of feet long, and there are three people thick, so scary, let's take a detour." ”
"yes...... Yes......" Several people nodded one after another, and at this time, Zhou Bo looked at Liu Bang in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "Brother Bang, it seems that we should change the course." ”
Seeing that everyone was so timid, Liu Bang was displeased, he raised the bronze sword in his hand, and shouted: "The strong man walks at night, will he retreat because of a snake?" ”
Liu Bang strode forward with the strength of the wine, a few timid, shrunk behind, did not dare to follow, only Zhou Bo, Ji Xin, Yongya and others followed, not far away, sure enough, there was a big snake coiled on the road, the snake letter spit out, the two eyes exuded a terrifying ghostly light, shining abnormally, many people suddenly choked their breath, half-squatting, observing the white snake in front of them.
This snake is indeed very big, and it is also very long, which everyone has never seen, at this time everyone has the intention of retreating, even Liu Bang just now, he also woke up for half a minute, but the words have been spoken, if Liu Bang retreats at this time, I am afraid that these people will lose their determination to follow themselves, thinking of the key point, Liu Bang is bold and walks forward.
"Brother Bang, don't!" Zhou Bo shouted in a low voice, but Liu Bang had already walked, there was no way back at this time, the so-called wine was strong and courageous, Liu Bang took advantage of the strength of the wine, and walked slowly over, the white snake did not seem to feel the danger coming, it always spit out the snake letter, coiled in place, until Liu Bang walked to the front, the white snake found Liu Bang, he raised the snake's head, about two meters high, ready to attack Liu Bang.
Liu Bang roared, concentrated the strength of his whole body on one point, and slashed it before the white snake attacked......
In an instant, blood splattered, the snake's head rolled to the ground, leaving only the snake's body writhing and trembling on the ground, Liu Bang was finally scared awake at this moment, he looked at the snake head on the ground, if he was bitten by the white snake, he would definitely be swallowed alive on the spot.
Behind him, everyone raised their hands and cheered, they rushed over, hugged Liu Bang, cheered loudly, torches and moonlight shone on everyone's faces, it can be seen that everyone was full of excitement and joy, after cheering, Liu Bang and others embarked on the journey again, heading towards Mangdang Mountain.
Walking through the corner of Mangshan, ahead, is Dangshan, Liu Bang and others are overjoyed, as long as they enter Dangshan, the government wants to want themselves again, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, and the huge Mangdang Mountain, if you want to find yourself, it is a needle in a haystack, thinking so, Liu Bang laughed unconsciously.
At this time, it was early morning, and it was clearly recognizable everywhere, just when Liu Bang was about to continue moving forward, Zhou Bo pointed to the distance and wondered: "Look at that old woman, she is squatting there and shivering, is she injured?" ”
Liu Bang followed the direction of Zhou Bo's finger and saw the old woman squatting on the ground, barren mountains and wild mountains, an old woman, maybe attacked by wild beasts, so she couldn't travel, thinking of this, Liu Bang looked at the Yongya behind him and drank: "Yongya, go and see." ”
Yongya was slightly displeased, this kind of errand, why don't you let others go, but Yongya didn't dare to contradict Liu Bang at this time, he had to walk over, patted the old woman's shoulder, and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" ”
The old woman turned her head, her teeth were frightened, she said "Mom", she took three steps back, everyone was curious, and she also walked over, only to see the old woman's eyes red, dripping blood falling like tears, her face was also a little pale, and her teeth trembled and asked, "Old ...... People, what's wrong with you? ”
The old woman wept and sighed, "My son has been killed!" ”
"My son was killed!" The old woman was agitated, her body was still trembling, and the sound of her crying was clearly discernible when the crowd had surrounded her, and a good man asked, "Who killed your son?" ”
The old woman pointed to the direction where everyone came and choked up: "My son is the son of the White Emperor, and when he went down to play, he accidentally met the son of the Red Emperor, he showed no mercy and killed my son with a sword, and my son died so miserably!" ”
The more the old woman spoke, the more excited she became, her voice was high, her crying was like a ghost crying, everyone was trembling with fright, just when everyone quietly stepped back, the old woman suddenly got up, pointed at Liu Bang, and hated: "You are the murderer, return my son!" ”
Liu Bang was so frightened that he almost fell, but the old woman chattered, pressed step by step, walked towards Liu Bang, and said angrily: "What is my son's crime? You're going to kill him? Could it be that the son of the Red Emperor can be domineering? ”
At the same time as the old woman complained, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the surroundings were bright and dazzling, and everyone instinctively blocked their eyes, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet......
Liu Bang stabilized from the panic, the old woman in front of him was nowhere to be found, all this was too strange, everyone was stunned, and it took a while before someone shouted excitedly: "It turns out that the pavilion chief is the son of the Red Emperor!" ”
"Yes, son of the Red Emperor, it seems that we are right to follow the pavilion chief."
"Of course, the son of the Red Emperor is the son of the true dragon, and he maybe, he will lead us to overthrow the tyrannical Qin!"
"That's right, overthrow the tyrannical Qin!"
"Stand up to the Son of Heaven!"
"We agree! Supporting the Son of Heaven, we are the people of the Red Emperor! ”
Everyone was gossiping, the more they talked, the more chaotic they became, Liu Bang was also secretly surprised, everything just now was too magical and too sudden, is there really a god in this world? But what is the explanation for everything just now?
Just when Liu Bang was pondering, Zhou Bo on the side raised his sword and shouted: "Since Brother Bang is the son of the Red Emperor, in the future, we will be red as the mainstay, occupy the mountain as the king, and support Brother Bang!" ”
Under the discussion of everyone, Liu Bang was defined as the true son of heaven, drunk and beheaded the white snake, and the old woman's crying also spread throughout Surabaya County, becoming people's gossip after tea and dinner, and on the same day, Liu Bang led the team to Dangshan, and since then, Liu Bang has completely stepped onto the stage of history.
。。。。。。
At this time, Huiji County has a garrison of 330,000 troops, respectively stationed in Huiji Mountain, Wu County and Wucheng line, early in the morning, Hu Hai in Huiji County to guard Yin Tong, Lang Zhong Ling Zhao Gao, Shaofu Zhang Han, left and right Xiang Feng Quji, Li Si and other hundred officials, accompanied by hundreds of officials, to go up to Huiji Mountain.
Ten strong soldiers carried a stone stele, which is the inscription that Hu Hai is ready to stand on Huiji Mountain and worship Dayu, Hu Hai will stand this inscription on the side of the original inscription, which has highlighted the achievements of the first emperor during his lifetime.
But not long after Hu Hai and other hundred officials went up the mountain, a team of about 500 people, wearing gray cloth armor, they rode horses and rushed to Huiji Mountain, as the first general, wearing a black leather wallet, he was Xiang Yu, after learning that Hu Hai had gone up the mountain, he was ready to rush into Huiji Mountain in the name of escort, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Hu Hai.
The death of the first emperor has been disturbed by the world, as long as Hu Hai is killed, the Qin State will be completely in civil strife, this is the ending that Xiang Yu is extremely looking forward to, but when Xiang Yu's army is about to arrive at the foot of Huiji Mountain, Xiang Zhuang is halfway through, blocking Xiang Yu's way.
