This is Zhujia Village, ten miles to the south, is Dawan,

The population of Zhujia Village is not large, they all make a living from hunting, and sometimes they will take the prey and go to Lantian County to exchange for some daily necessities, and today, Xiangzhuang's army came to Zhujia Village by mistake.

I heard that there are more bandits in the Qinling Mountains, Xiang Zhuang is forbidden to march at night, ready to spend the night here, Ying Liang at this time with more than ten people, holding torches, leading the horse to Zhujia Village, walked about a tea time, everyone saw the village, more than 20 small earthen houses are located in the low-lying flat land,

As soon as I entered the village, there was a burst of dog barking, and soon, several houses that had turned off the lights lit oil lamps, a few "squeaks" of the doors opening, and several strong men with sticks hurried out of the doors.

"Who are you," a middle-aged man's shout came, and soon, these households gathered together, some with weapons, some with sticks, and rushed towards Ying Liang and the others, perhaps, they thought that the mountain bandits had quietly entered the village,

The mountain bandits in Qinling are very prosperous, but they will not easily offend the villagers here, after a long conversation today, the men in the village are extremely vigilant, at this time Ying Liang led the horse, took the rest of the people, and walked a few steps forward, and then arched his hand and said: "Don't panic, everyone, we are not bad people,"

Ying Liang ordered someone to lower the torch, and the fire shone on the military armor, glowing with a dim light, at this time, Ying Liang arched his hand and said: "We are the Chu army, passing here, we want to borrow a place to cook some food, spend the night in the village, tomorrow at dawn, we will leave immediately, it will not bring unnecessary trouble to everyone,"

Seeing that everyone didn't agree, Ying Liang said again: "In addition, we will compensate everyone, and we won't let you suffer,"

Hearing that there was money to be taken, there was a heated discussion in the crowd, and several young people chattered and discussed together: "I see, take them,"

"No, the Chu army crossed, who knows if they will take advantage of the night to grab money,"

"You're stupid, if you want a gun, do you still need to discuss it with us?"

"That's just as well,"

"Even so, you can't trust them easily," one person said, and at this moment, from behind the crowd, an old voice came: "You bunch of rabbit cubs, the Chu army defeated the tyranny of the Qin State, no matter what, we have to help them,"

An old man staggered out of the crowd, he saw clearly by returning to the light, there were more than ten people leading horses on the opposite side, he walked a few more steps, and arched his hand: "The old man's surname is Zhu, he is the village chief of Zhujia Village, I don't know who you are,"

"My name is ......" Ying Liang hesitated, did not tell his real name, but said, "My name is Zhao Neng, I am a subordinate of General Xiang Zhuang of Chu, passing through here, I came to spend the night,"

The old man nodded and asked, "Dare to ask, are there only ten of you, this Qinling Mountains is full of bandits, it is very dangerous for you to go into the mountains like this,"

"No, no, we have more than a thousand people, for fear of disturbing you, so, only a few of us came," Ying Liang smiled back, but soon, Ying Liang saw that the old man's face was slightly embarrassed, indeed, more than a thousand people, it is indeed difficult to settle down, especially in such a small village, Ying Liang immediately changed his words: "Uncle don't worry, we have our own food, I just hope that the old man will make my general a hot mouth, we live outside, and we will never trouble you,"

"This ......" The old man hesitated, but still nodded and said: "You all come in, it's really not good, get some hay, you should be able to rest for the night,"

Seeing that the old man agreed, Ying Liang gave a few words to the people on the side, he led the horse and left in a hurry, not long after, Xiang Zhuang took Lotte and Ying Xueyue to lead the horse to come, the old man saw that Xiang Zhuang was extraordinary, and there was a military armor, next to a woman, beautiful as a flower, it was expected that they were indeed Chu Jun, so he stepped forward and said: "The old man is the village chief of Zhujia Village, dare to ask the general's surname,"

"Hehe, old man, my name is Xiang Zhuang,"

"It turned out to be General Xiang, please come into the house and talk," the old man made a gesture of invitation, leading everyone to the house,

Subsequently, a thousand Chu troops also followed // entered the village, they did not enter the houses, but in the open space of the village, simply set up a few big tents, picked up some branches, and after setting up a bonfire, everyone gathered around the bonfire, chewing the bread they carried,

Inside the house, warm as spring, Xiang Zhuang was introduced by the old man into the house, and several young descendants one by one, this is a very simple house, but the furniture in the room is very neat, the wall is hung with bows and arrows and knives, you can see from the weapons in their home, how martial the Qin people were back then,

It is said that every time there is a big war, the soldier can not only get slaves, but also the captured weapons can be collected and passed down from generation to generation, until his son goes to the battlefield, and he no longer has to carry a hammer and a stick.

At this time, after the old man instructed a few young juniors to prepare wine and food, he also came to sit down on the soft seat, and then said with a smile: "Why did General Xiang come to Qinling, this poor ravine is not a good place for marching,"

"Hehe, the old man doesn't know, our Chu camp met an assassin last night, and he is hiding in the Qinling Mountains at the moment, a team of my soldiers and horses has entered the mountain, I am here to meet them, and I also want to ask the old man by the way, have you ever seen a Chu army passing by here,"

The old man pondered for a moment and sighed: "The old man has not gone out for the past few days, but I really don't know,"

The old man called out to the younger students on the side and asked, "Have you seen it?"

"No, but, listening to the second baby, he seems to have seen a cavalry in military robes enter the mountains, I don't know if General Xiang is looking for it,"

"Are you wearing a zi-colored military robe?"

"It seems to be,"

"That must be them," Xiang Zhuang was slightly excited, as long as someone had seen them, it meant that they were still safe, at this time the worry in Xiang Zhuang's heart disappeared, he sighed, and couldn't help laughing: "Old man, you live in the mountains all year round, how can you make a living,"

"Hehe, hunting for a living, occasionally selling some game to Lantian, life is also comfortable, far better than living in the county, and it can also avoid war," the old man smiled back,

After thinking about it, Xiang Zhuang asked again: "But I heard that there are many bandits in the mountains, I don't know how many bandits there are in the Qinling Mountains,"

"I heard that there are 100 bandits,"

"Recently, there have been mountain bandits who have been abnormally active and often go down the mountain to snoop," Xiang Zhuang asked again.

The old man understood this time, Xiang Zhuang just said that the Chu camp was attacked, could it be that he thought that it was the mountain bandits,

Thinking of this, the old man smiled and said: "General Xiang, please listen to me, although there are many bandits in the mountains, they dare not offend the officials and soldiers, you just said that when the Chu camp encountered assassins, I am seventy percent sure that it was definitely not the mountain bandits in Qinling,"

"It's not them," Xiang Zhuang once again fell into deep thought, if it wasn't for the mountain bandits, then why did these assassins flee to Qinling and deliberately disturb their vision?

Moreover, Gui Yinghao had encountered an ambush in the area of Lishan, so these people who ambushed Gui Yinghao are probably just suspicious soldiers, and their real purpose is to lure themselves to Qinling.

Thinking about this, Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly, then, this must be a conspiracy,

Soon, a young man's shout sounded in the outhouse: "Grandpa, the wine and food are ready, please invite the nobles to dinner,"

……

The people of Zhujia Village were very polite, temporarily cleaned up, vacated a few houses, and gave Xiang Zhuang and others to live, Lotte offered to keep vigil outside and led dozens of people to patrol the village, and Ying Xueyue and Ying Liang each shared a room and went to bed early.

After a busy day, fatigue hit, but Xiang Zhuang did not feel sleepy, at this time he sat outside the earthen house, looking up at the sky, the moon tonight, is so bright,

Everything is so confusing, Gui Yinghao pursued the assassin, but he was trapped in the Qinling Mountains, nowhere to be found, if Gui Yinghao could not be found within two days, Xiang Zhuang knew that he had to evacuate this place,

But who sent those assassins, was it Liu Bang?

At first, Xiang Zhuang also thought that this was Liu Bang's conspiracy, and he wanted to prevent Xiang Yu from entering Xianyang, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Bang knew that it was impossible for an assassin to assassinate Xiang Yu in the Chinese army, so in this case, would Liu Bang still send an assassin, once exposed, Xiang Yu would definitely skin Liu Bang alive, so this may be a blame for planting,

But who is behind the scenes, Xiang Zhuang has no clue for a while,

But in any case, Xiang Zhuang knew that he had to find Gui Yinghao first, and maybe, there would be evidence in his hands.

After being silent for a while, Xiang Zhuang got up and walked back to the house.

……

Early in the morning, after a hurried farewell to the old man, Xiang Zhuang took the team and continued to advance to the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

After half a day's journey, Lotte rode a horse and reminded Xiang Zhuang: "General, today is the day to enter Xianyang, I think we should rush back as soon as possible,"

"Entering Xianyang," Xiang Zhuang sneered, yesterday Xiang Yu had already begun to transfer troops to the west, but he only did not inform himself, among them, I am afraid it is not a coincidence,

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Xiang Zhuang's mind, this thought flashed, but Xiang Zhuang's expression froze,

The war horse stopped advancing, Xiang Zhuang looked ahead blankly, causing everyone to gather around, they didn't know why their general suddenly stopped,

Lotte and Ying Liang both saw that Xiang Zhuang's expression was different, they wanted to come forward to ask, but they didn't know how to speak, at this time, Ying Liang cast a look of help to his sister Ying Xueyue,

Ying Xueyue hesitated for a moment, rode a horse to Xiang Zhuang's side, and said softly: "General Xiang, what's wrong with you,"

Xiang Zhuang was interrupted by Ying Xueyue's contemplation, he looked back at Ying Xueyue, shook his head and sighed, "I...... Hit the mark,"

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Zhuang didn't say anything more, he rode his horse and continued to move forward, not far away, Xiang Zhuang looked at Ying Liang, and ordered: "You are handsome with three hundred people, explore the road ahead, if I guess correctly, Gui Yinghao and they are not far away,"

"Why is this," Ying Liang was surprised, but Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly: "The assassin came to Qinling, just went around and retreated, I guess that the assassin has already left Qinling at this time, Gui Yinghao should still be looking for it, but he won't go too far,"

Xiang Zhuang said very surely, Ying Liang had to nod, turned around and ordered: "You guys, follow me,"

Ying Liang left in a hurry, at this time Xiang Zhuang had woken up from sadness, think carefully about everything that happened from yesterday to today, the Chinese army is tightly guarded, surrounded by the stations of each ** team, no matter where you enter the Chinese army, you need to go through layers of patrols and scouts to supervise, so, how can the assassin easily enter the Chinese army,

With more than 100,000 armor soldiers in the Chinese army, how could the assassins easily escape?

There is only one answer, this is a conspiracy, it is a set set by Xiang Yu for himself, he wants to lead himself away, what is it for, I don't know, in short, Xiang Yu is no longer the Xiang Yu of the year, and the brothers are no longer brothers, Xiang Zhuang sighed bitterly, and continued to move forward.

……
