Chapter 246: Xiang Liang's Choice
PS: I'm sorry, there was a small bug in front, Xiang Yu's family should be the shopkeeper Fang, not the money manager (the money manager is the second or fifth boy of the Yin Tong family). My head was dizzy, and I confused the names of the two dragon sets, which had already been modified.
"Back to Your Highness, according to the itinerary, it should be delivered to that Xiang Liang's hands by early tomorrow morning at the latest."
Although he didn't know why His Royal Highness attached so much importance to Xiang Yu's letter, Zhang Liang still answered Zhao Ying's question meticulously. Zhao Ying nodded slightly, he was very curious about Xiang Liang's reaction after receiving Xiang Yu's letter.
Will he come to Xianyang?
Remember, in the original history, he did bring Xiang Yu to Xianyang.
Sima Qian didn't know what kind of psychology he had, and he specially arranged a particularly interesting picture for Xiang Yu at that time. After Xiang Yu saw the majesty of the First Emperor's travel team, he issued that domineering declaration full of anger.
"He can take his place!"
This scene may not exist, but this pair of uncles and nephews probably really came to Xianyang.
So, now, at this point in time, will that Xiang Liang still come to Xianyang?
Zhao Ying's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of playfulness.
Zhang liang:......
Ah, the familiar look.
Zhang Liang only felt déjà vu, and then lowered his head very knowingly, pretending not to see that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of his own family secretly poked at his ill intentions.
"Inform Fan Xu, during this time, let him transfer some manpower from the guard camp, these days, as Xiang Yu's entourage, and don't be stingy with other uses - don't let outsiders think that our house is mean and unkind, and neglect the talent ......"
When Zhang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
"Your Highness is benevolent ......"
……
His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is naturally benevolent.
The people of Xianyang City are obvious to all, and the subordinates of the eldest son's mansion have a good reputation, and even Xiang Yu, a newcomer who has just won the martial champion, has been treated very politely.
I can't join the command of the emperor's eldest grandson.
Xiang Yu received this kind of courtesy, and no one knew what it was like in his heart, but the shopkeeper Fang, who came to Xianyang and came to Xiang Yu to check the specific situation of his little master, completely let go of his worries.
Own little master, this is obviously soaring!
"The patriarch is very concerned about you, and specially asked the villain to come and take a look......"
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Fang looked around at the guards who were supporting Xiang Yu every step of the way, wearing a stubborn and majestic guard, and couldn't help but puff up his chest with honor.
"I can't imagine that you have broken out of this situation in a short period of time! The patriarch must be overjoyed when he finds out......"
Xiang Yu: ......
Looking at the spittle-splashing and chattering shopkeeper Fang, Xiang Yu suddenly wanted to directly plug his broken mouth.
Ecstatic?
If you don't vomit blood on the spot, you have to count him as an old man with open-mindedness and tenacity!
But there were some things that he couldn't say to the old shopkeeper of the house, so he could only wave his hand perfunctorily.
"I have already written a letter to my family, and I have a postman from the imperial court, and I believe that it will be delivered to my uncle soon-"
Hearing that his little master had even taken this into account, Shopkeeper Fang became more and more pleased.
Sure enough, it is still a place like Xianyang that sharpens people, and it has only been a long time, and the little master has already thought it through so thoroughly.
Shopkeeper Fang came on Xiang Liang's order, in addition to learning about Xiang Yu's situation, he also had to take a look at his own business by the way.
As soon as you understand, the mood is better.
Now Xiang Yu is famous in Xianyang, not only won the martial champion, but also has been appreciated by His Royal Highness the current emperor's eldest grandson, and can already be regarded as an upstart in Xianyang.
Which one is not eye-catching, and will not get along with this kind of potential stock?
Therefore, the business under the name of the Xiang family has progressed unexpectedly smoothly, and in just a few months, the situation has been opened, and the recent business has been doing well.
Even, even the Ba County Huai family has already got in touch.
This is to heaven!
"It's all the blessing of the young patriarch, our Xiang family should be happy!"
Shopkeeper Fang's beard shook excitedly.
After going back, he couldn't wait to write a letter of good news to his master, and asked the postman in Xianyang to deliver it early the next morning.
The postman of the imperial court naturally does not give private mail, but who is the shopkeeper Fang?
The old fox who has been crawling around in the mall for decades, playing the banner of his own young patriarch, and handing it over without a trace, the matter will be done immediately!
No matter how strict the laws of the Qin Dynasty were, they couldn't stop the exchange of favors.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, like this kind of thing, in fact, as long as nothing happens, don't go too far, even if it is the boss, most of them turn a blind eye.
Otherwise, who of his subordinates will be willing to give his life to himself.
For the future of his young patriarch, and in order to build a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, the next day, the shopkeeper Fang even used the strength of the Xiang family in Xianyang to prepare a sincere gift, and specially came to thank His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun for taking care of his young master.
For this shopkeeper Fang, who had been carried away by surprises, Xiang Yu only felt tired.
Simply, he hid back in the eldest son's mansion, got into his small courtyard, and didn't come out.
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's just that what makes him a little bored is that Zhao Gao, who came back from visiting relatives, seems to have something on his mind, and has become more taciturn, and he has no interest in learning swordsmanship with him.
He could only hold back in the courtyard every day to read, and when he was tight, he went to the martial arts arena in the back garden to practice martial arts.
It's just that he only goes during the day, morning and night, and he doesn't go.
Mainly reluctant to meet Zhao Ying.
Every time he saw Zhao Ying playing with a halberd of more than 500 catties with one hand, playing like a lamp grass, he felt devastated, and what made him even more speechless was that every time he finished playing, he sighed for a long time.
"Alas, it's too light......"
Whenever this time, he felt that he was looking forward to being arrogant in Huiji County, and his actions with bravery and conceit were like a joke with a capital letter.
Only Cone Gu, whenever this time, he shouted and cheered, and was so excited that he couldn't do it.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Just when Xiang Yu was bored and wanted to leave Xianyang as soon as possible and go to the end, Xiang Liang, who was far away in Huiji, finally received Xiang Yu's handwritten letter.
With just a glance, he could be sure that this was Xiang Yu's handwriting.
The letter, as always, is concise.
He already knew about Wu Zhuangyuan.
But when he saw that Xiang Yu claimed that as soon as he entered Xianyang, he was valued by the emperor's eldest grandson, and he felt his kindness, and he had already invested in the emperor's grandson's command, and His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson was even his cousin Zhao Wan's wife, and his entire brow instantly frowned.
Wrong!
Something is wrong!
This nephew of his own, grew up by himself, his personality and temper are clear to him, where is he willing to live under people?
What's more, his Xiang family and Daqin can be said to have a deep enmity in the sea of blood, and they swear not to stand together.
How could he possibly be under the command of the emperor's eldest grandson!
and went to marry the cousin of the emperor's eldest grandson......
He frowned, and once again word by word, carefully studied, trying to see a clue, but this letter, no matter how you look at it, is written by his nephew, and even the stroke that floats out gently when it reaches the feather character is exactly the same.
It is impossible for outsiders to fake!
Therefore, his nephew is under the command of the emperor's eldest grandson, and he still wants to marry the emperor's eldest grandson's family. Looking at the request to invite himself to Xianyang to preside over the marriage, Xiang Liang couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.
If everything that is said in this epistle is true, then there must be something that has not been said!
I can't even say it explicitly!
Under what circumstances would this arrogant nephew bow his head and give in, and even make a request to enter Xianyang at this critical juncture?
Xiang Liang pondered for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved, and he opened his eyes suddenly, looking at Xiang Yu's somewhat dignified words.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun, heroic and unmatched, I am determined to join His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun and be its forerunner!"
"Nothing to beat!"
He was telling me that this eldest grandson of the emperor could not match. Even, most likely, they have seized our handle, or at least become suspicious of us!
He suddenly thought of the caravan of the eldest prince's mansion that had suddenly become bigger and bigger in Huiji County, and even his own family had already done business with them.
And, the tall shopkeeper with a thin neck who always looks like he is smiling!
They had already been aware of the anomaly in Huiji County?
I have already made a layout for my uncle and nephew!
Their own wind and grass, they are clear, so, as soon as Yu'er entered Xianyang, in fact, it has already fallen into the hands of the emperor's eldest grandson, as for the back, the so-called weight, the so-called champion, the so-called marriage, it is all because they are already involuntary and subject to others!
This thought frightened him.
It's all connected!
It was night, and the lights in Xiang Liang's room had not been extinguished for a long time.
Early the next morning.
Xiang Liang's face was as usual, with a long sword hanging on his waist, and he pushed the door out. It's just that if you want to look closely, you can see that this old Chu general, who was moody and moody in the past, has bloodshot eyes and an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.
"Call the Iron Guard—"
Xiang Liang ate breakfast quietly, and waited for the next person to clean up the food, then he held the hilt of the sword and commanded in a deep voice.
After listening to Xiang Liang's instructions, the old servant beside him couldn't help but jump his eyelids, and without saying a word, he bowed down and conveyed.
After a while, ten middle-aged men with resolute faces and capable bodies rushed in.
Xiang Liang's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the ten of them, and when he saw that none of them had changed their faces, he exhaled lightly.
"Follow me to see Yin Junshou!"
Hearing that Xiang Liang was visiting, Yin Tong's eyes couldn't help revealing a hint of mockery.
Letter from Xiang Yu.
And it is through the imperial court station, as a taishou, he naturally will not be unaware.
This shows that Xiang Yu not only won the champion, but also most likely has already been invested in the command of the emperor's eldest grandson, otherwise a new champion with no real job would not be able to use the post station to send private messages.
However, although Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew's actions were suspicious, Yin Tong still tended to believe Xiang Liang's statement in his heart, because the Xiang family's uncle and nephew had no possibility of compromising with Daqin!
Family hatred and national hatred!
After all these years of hard work, how can you give up easily?
However, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
For the sake of safety, Yin Tong still decided to stabilize his hand.
"Please speak in the study of the head of the Xiang family—"
After speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at the money steward who was waiting on the side.
"Steward Qian, you personally go and inform General Long Ze and ask him to come to my study to discuss matters!"
Steward Qian understood and turned around and left. However, what Yin Tong didn't know was that out of the backyard, he, the loyal money manager, sped up his pace, and didn't wait for much to go far, he caught up with the young man in Tsing Yi who had gone to inform Xiang Liang before.
And when the money steward walked away, Yin Tong turned around and ordered.
"Go and ask Mr. Zhang to come—"
Mr. Zhang is a doorman hired by his mansion with a lot of money, and his swordsmanship is exquisite, and even Xiang Liang is amazed. It is believed that its swordsmanship is the best in the world, and there are few enemies.
Before you can't figure out the intentions of the Xiang family's uncle and nephew, it's better to be careful.
"Money Steward—"
The little guy bowed respectfully, and the money steward nodded lightly, and then waved his hand.
"Go and prepare the horse, the head of the Xiang family, I can ...... by myself"
The little guy didn't dare to disobey, so he bowed and went to prepare the horse for the money steward, and the money steward walked quickly to the front hall.
"I've seen the head of the Xiang family—"
Steward Qian glanced at him casually, serving the more than ten iron guards outside, and then bowed to Xiang Liang.
"Lord County Shou invites the head of the Xiang family to go to the study to talk about ......"
"There is money to manage things......
Xiang Liang got up and returned the salute, as modest and polite as ever.
Xiang Liang walked out, and the money steward also walked out of the door, and took advantage of the stall to go out, and then lowered his voice behind him.
"Lord Gunshou, let me inform General Tatsuzawa ......"
When Xiang Liang heard this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart.
He glanced at the money manager gratefully.
"Thank you, there will be a great reward in the future!"
Yin Tong, that dog thief, this is suspicious of himself!
It's not too stupid!
Xiang Liang smiled and arched his hand at the money manager.
"Money is in charge of ...... of things"
More than ten iron guards silently followed behind Xiang Liang, and no one was suspicious of this, in the past, when the head of the Xiang family came, most of them would follow.
What's more, when these subordinates arrived at the door of the courtyard of the study, they automatically stopped.
Xiang Liang strode in.
"Xiang Liang has seen Lord County Shou-"
Seeing Yin Tong coming out of the study with Mr. Zhang from a distance, Xiang Liang took a few steps ahead of him as if he hadn't seen Mr. Zhang, and bowed from a distance.
"Brother Xiang, be polite—"
Yin Tong smiled and returned the salute.
The three of them returned to the study and sat down again, and Xiang Liang took out Xiang Yu's letter from his arms and handed it over with a happy face.
"Lord County Shou, I am very happy, the little nephew is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has successfully won the trust of the emperor's eldest grandson!"
When Yin Tong heard this, he took the letter in Xiang Liang's hand with some confusion and looked down.
Sure enough, as Xiang Liang said, the young man named Xiang Yu has already won the trust of the emperor's eldest grandson, and is even about to marry the emperor's eldest grandson's cousin, the daughter-in-law of the fourth son's Gao family!
"Ling's nephew is really good—"
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Yin Tong had not yet turned his face at this time, the time was not right, Daze Township, he had not yet gained the initiative, and he still needed to rely on the power of Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew.
