After Zhuo led the emperor and his party into the largest inn in Pengcheng, he suddenly stood still at the door for a while, and summoned his subordinates to whisper instructions.

The soldier's expression suddenly became solemn, and he waved the order towards a few people around him, and everyone quickly rushed to the east gate.

Zhuo Cai stepped into the inn, and when he turned around, Zhao Zihu, who was slightly puzzled, smiled at each other.

Knowing that Zhuo Ding would explain, Zhao Zihu didn't ask much, and turned to the backyard guest room with his father and the store.

"That's it! You go down first. ”

Entering the largest guest room belonging to Ying Zheng, Zhuo sent away the store, looked carefully outside a few times, immediately closed the door, turned around and took a deep look: "Iron Eagle Ruishi five hundred Lord Zhuo, I have seen two chiefs, may Great Qin be ...... for ten thousand years"

Yes.

Zhuo is ostensibly a small head in Pengcheng County, but in fact, he is a middle and high-level Tieying Ruishi who can lead 500 people. But speaking of which, he is almost a bare-bones commander at this time.

The selection of Iron Eagle Ruishi is extremely strict, even if he is an ink master, it is not easy to enter this organization, and the people he can use on hand are only twenty.

Knowing that the emperor and his entourage were paying a private visit to Weifu this time, and there were two outsiders around him, Zhuo made a big gift very smartly, but expressed his respect in a tactful way.

"Hmm!"

Ying Zheng raised his hand falsely, signaled for exemption, and asked, "You have been in Pengcheng County for three months." Can you know before and after the strange stone was salvaged, what was abnormal in this Pengcheng? ”

"Sir! This involves a staff member recruited by Xiang Liang two months ago, the hermit Fan Zeng...... "Zhuo began to talk in detail about the information he had collected in Pengcheng in the past three months.

This information includes how big Xiangjiazhuang is, how many fields and products there are, how many customers there are, who is serving in the military and political departments of Pengcheng County, and how many staff members are helping to make suggestions......

In addition, Fan Zengyuan was a 160 veteran who was hidden in the countryside of Juchao to farm and study the art of war and chess games, and suddenly came to Pengcheng, recommended himself as a staff member of the Xiang family, and asked the Xiang family to let most of the people in the clan move to Jiangdong......

How did Fan Zeng become the chief strategist of the Xiang family in the polemic and wisdom battle a month ago, and was worshipped by Xiang Yu as a teacher, but he thought that this child was too young, irritable and irritable, and he had to hone it for a few more years before he was handed over to his own discipline.

When Zhuo made such a report, Li Liang and Sima Xin quickly rushed to this side, and the subordinates he had just ordered were divided into three routes, two of which went to call more Iron Eagle Warriors, and quickly divided into eight shares.

On the other hand, the four of them went straight to the east gate, rushed ahead of Yang Shichang, and intercepted him on the road they had to pass.

Yang Shichang was walking, and saw that the East Gate City Tower was already in sight, about a few dozen steps away, and in a certain alley in front of him, a soldier suddenly turned out.

The soldier walked slowly with his head down, judging from his back, he was familiar and hurried away, he didn't care, and even thought that he would soon be able to surpass the other party.

But just about two steps away, this soldier suddenly pasted over, Yang Shichang instinctively avoided to the right, and another person flashed out of the alley on the right, instantly forming a pincer attack.

"Hmmm! Which of you is your subordinate? ”

Yang Shichang suddenly stood still, and asked, but he didn't expect the two of them to stop. He tried to go around the other side, but when he stepped back, he immediately let his two hands push down behind his back.

"What's going on?" Being tightly squeezed in the middle by the four, Yang Shichang finally panicked. But before he cried out, he was immediately hit with a knife in the back of his neck, his eyes rolled white, and he passed out.

Regardless of the reaction of the people around them, these four soldiers set up Yang Shichang on the spot, and then turned into another alley, and their actions were far more neat than they could compare with the slow walking before.

Yang Shichang was so confused and took him to the guest room where Emperor Yingzheng stayed.

And Ying Zheng listened to Zhuo's report at this time, but frowned: "You mean, the words on this strange stone, as well as the throwing into Surabaya, were all made by Fan Zeng behind the back of the Xiang family......"

"He is sixty years old and decrepit, and he is about to die, why do he still act like this and harm the master's family? Could it be that he thought that he was the current Jiang Taigong and wanted to help the Xiang family put it to death and survive? ”

"Bang bang!"

Before Ying Zheng finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Li Liang's voice came: "Sir! Brother Tiger! Pengcheng County ordered Li Liang and the county lieutenant Sima Xin to ask to see ......"

"Enter!"

Ying Zheng responded, glanced at the baby, and found that this kid was a little surprised.

Zhao Zihu was indeed surprised: "Brother Rail originally ran to Pengcheng to be an official." That's a coincidence, isn't it? ”

"What coincidence? Brother Tiger. Could it be that you know that I'm in Pengcheng, what can you do? Li Liang pushed open the door and walked in with a smile.

Then, he and Sima Xin waved their hands at the emperor in unison, and then looked at Zhao Zihu curiously, as if this little hair could really tell what happened.

Greasy pouting, Zhao Zihu seemed to be talking nonsense: "Yes! If I had known two years ago that you were going to take office here in Pengcheng, I would have told you......"

"Check to see if there is such a person as Xiang Yu? If there is, find an opportunity to kill him, and there will not be so much trouble as today. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that his father snorted angrily, Li Liang smiled at each other with Sima Xin and Zhuo, and Lu Pheasant was also pursed his lips and secretly had fun.

Li Liang didn't expect that there was a beautiful woman next to Zhao Zihu, who was amazed by it, and asked with a smile: "Brother! You're lying again, aren't you? More than two years ago, the Xiang family didn't come to Pengcheng. Tut! Why don't you introduce your brother and sister to your brother? ”

"She? It's called Lu Pheasant! I met halfway through, but I was haunted by me, and I wasn't engaged yet. Zhao Zihu said very scoundrelly, winking at Li Liang and smiling.

In exchange for these words, Lu Pheasant gritted his teeth and stared at him, but he didn't care, and circled around Li Liang for a while: "But you are quite free here?" I also have birds! ”

"Ahem! Hobbies, hobbies. Li Liang was embarrassed, glanced at the emperor, and explained with a smile.

Ying Zheng nodded affirmatively: "Hmm." I heard that your grades in the past two years have been good! If it weren't for the sudden appearance of such a village......"

Listening to the first half of the sentence, Li Liang was quite happy, but in the second half of the sentence, others withered, drooped their shoulders, and said pitifully: "Keep up the good work, keep up the good work!" ”

"That's it! You don't have to be ashamed. You're still young, and it's inevitable that you can't take care of it! Ying Zheng pressed his hand weakly, comforted him a few times, and then paced behind the bookcase and sat down.

He was about to continue to discuss with everyone about the next matter against the Xiang family, when five more figures appeared outside the open door. The four soldiers pressed Yang Shichang's head and bowed to him.

"Sir! Man has been brought to ......"

At Yingzheng's signal, Zhuo turned around and asked, "What about other suspicious people?" ”

"Secretly taken in!"

"Excellent! Go back first. ”

"Yui~"

The four soldiers responded, and one of them pushed Yang Shichang hard, and then turned and left.

Yang Shichang pushed him stumbling, fell towards the door, tripped on the threshold without paying attention, and fell into a dog eating mud directly in front of everyone.

"Hey! Ahh......h

"Yang Shichang! Huh. Old Yang! Are you alright? Liu Bang poked his head out from Zhao Zihu's side and pretended to be concerned.

Zhuo Chong glared at Liu Bang, lowered his head and asked, "Yang Shichang is in such a hurry, what are you going to do when he wants to go out from the east gate?" ”

"What? I didn't, I didn't want to do anything. ”

Sima Xin also seemed to be surprised when he saw Yang, who flatly denied it and struggled to get up: "Didn't you just come to report to me......

"Did Zhuo put such a group of eccentric people in? That's the bone eye. If you want to go out of the east gate, you will be very suspicious! ”

"Nope! Sir. Listen to me......"

Sima Xin didn't listen, and looked at this person with hatred: "So, are you a guest of the Xiang family?" ”

Yang shook his head in panic.

This performance made people more affirmative, Sima Xin kicked Yang to the ground with a slam kick.

"If you don't admit it, then why are you panicking? Don't think that we really don't know about you and the Xiang family......"

Li Liang also nodded and glanced at Zhuo: "The person who the Iron Eagle Ruishi has doubted is not wrong. ”

"W-What? Iron, Iron Eagle Sharps! Yang was kicked to the ground, but he didn't dare to move, and looked at Zhuo even more stunned.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Zhao Zihu, then at Yingzheng, and muttered: "That, then these so-called, Zhuo's best friends in the world are not ......?"

"So that you can understand, I am the supreme commander of the Iron Eagle Ruishi, and Captain Zhao Dadu is also!" Zhao Zihu showed his waist card and sneered.

After staring at this waist card for a long time, Yang Fang woke up, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't stop swallowing saliva in his throat. He had only one thought in his heart at this time, hurry up and think about it! Otherwise, it's really going to die.

Lifting it up in one breath, he turned over, climbed up to Zhao Zihu, held his hands and kowtowed, and said with tears: "Spare your life!" Spare your life, sir! I, I, I'm willing to make meritorious contributions......"

Zhao Zihu didn't speak, he had already withdrawn his waist card, and looked at his father with a smile.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting behind the bookcase, was arranging his sleeves boringly, and seeing that this farce was almost over, he smiled playfully: "Okay! That's what I'm waiting for......"

"In this case, is the Xiang family still recruiting customers? You take us to Xiangjiazhuang to have a look and help us introduce you. ”

When Yang heard this, he blinked more and more, it was called a six gods without a master. Betraying the Xiang family? If the Xiang family knows, he will also die.

But now, does he have a choice?

"Okay! Okay, okay! When? He nodded busily.

"Just this afternoon."

Ying Zheng's words made Yang shake his head again.

"It's too urgent! You'll at least have to let me report on it......"

Ying Zheng immediately said: "That's right! However, I have to arrange for someone to follow you. ”

Zhao Tuo stood up and said, "Just me." Head of the house! ”

What else could Yang do, he had to agree.

After all, in his mind, almost all the big and small officials and soldiers in Pengcheng were known to the Xiang family, and they were still reliable.

Then, Yang was pulled by Zhao Tuo, left the guest room, and went to connect with the Xiang family first.

Ying Zheng and the others present had another discussion, and they all dispersed.

Zhao Zihu and Lu Pheasant walked into two small rooms separated by each other, they were nominally husband and wife at this time, and in order not to make people suspicious, they had to be in the same room.

At the same time, the area is open and feels larger than the county government office.

Thirteen-year-old Xiang Yu, with skin like red copper, looks like a tiger's back and bear's waist, taller than the average seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and even has more strength than ordinary adults.

"I am a native of Chu, and I have been a Chu general for generations, and I am sealed in Xiang, so my surname is Xiang!"

He was writing this passage repeatedly on the sand table with a bamboo pen.

This is the most important lesson of his day, and he has to write it 20 times before he starts studying every day.

Then, Xiang Yu closed his eyes and asked himself.

"Have you forgotten the hatred of the country? Xiang Yu didn't dare to forget! Have you forgotten the deep hatred of killing your father and forcing your ancestors? Xiang Yu didn't dare to forget! ”

This passage is something he must recite silently every day before and after his homework, before he gets up, goes to bed, and eats.

Xiang Liang asked him to keep it in his heart and plant the seeds of hatred for Qin since he was a child.

Xiang Yu is thirteen years old, according to the ancestral system, he needs to receive the education of heirs, in addition to the basic etiquette, music, calligraphy, archery, royalty, mathematics, but also to practice sword training, learn astronomy, geography, and criminal names, which are all necessary for the future unification of the army.

Of course, the most important thing is to study the art of war, which is the basis for fighting with soldiers......

In the general's mansion of the former fiefdom of the lower prime minister, such classics can be described as abundant, and it is very convenient to check and read.

After the collapse of the country and the death of the family, the lower prime minister's mansion was confiscated and changed to the lower prime minister's county official office, although the Qin veteran Wang Jian gave preferential treatment to his uncle Xiang Liang, who was once regarded as a guest.

However, Qin's law was strict, and in the old days, the princes and princes were all listed as wanted, and if there was a slight offense, they were caught, and they were sent to various places to serve hard labor, repair Chi Road, and the Great Wall......

Therefore, Xiang Liang didn't dare to admit that he was the famous general of the Chu State, after the Xiang family, he just intentionally or unintentionally let people spread the rumors, recruiting doormen to guard the industry and raise water bandits.

He moved his family to Pengcheng to avoid trouble, and although he had followed Fan Zeng's advice two months ago and moved most of his clan to Jiangdong, he never dared to openly solicit famous teachers for Xiang Yu.

At the same time, Pengcheng, a region south of the Yangtze River, has always emphasized literature and light on martial arts, and everyone at the time loved Huang Lao's learning, quiet and inaction, and something big......

Otherwise, Dr. Qu Yuan's "Lisao" and "Nine Songs", celebrities and scholars like to gather in inns and restaurants to complain and comment on current affairs.

Fortunately, Xiang Liang has a clear understanding of the art of war since he was a child, and in the past month, he has been able to obtain Fan Zeng, whether it is the Taigong Art of War, the use of soldiers by Wei Yizi, or even Fan Li's flying stone machine and crossbow manufacturing, it is a strange person who knows it in his chest, and it can be regarded as a solution to a big worry.

Although Fan Zeng was reluctant to teach the young Xiang Yu in person, he couldn't help Xiang Liang's soft grinding and hard foaming, and after some so-called mutual discussion, Xiang Liang became a blood swallow, spit out the food he digested, and saliva and blood water, and re-fed the young swallow.

Looking at Xiang Yu's face that was far more mature and resolute than ordinary teenagers, Xiang Liang firmly believed that although the Chu State no longer existed and the Xiang family was wiped out, his father's last words on his death must also be the common belief of people with lofty ideals in the old Chu.

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!"
