Eight hundred miles to the east, there is also a stone mountain, named Xiaoshi Mountain, which is also a branch of Chiwang Mountain. Although the scale of Xiaoshi Mountain is much smaller than that of Leishi Mountain, it is also composed of rock mass, and there is no grass, just like a miniature version of Leishi Mountain. There is a manor at the foot of the small stone mountain, the manor is surrounded by a moat, the moat is about ten zhang wide, and the water of the underground dark river flows from the cave on the west side into the moat, and then flows back to the cave on the east side. The manor is surrounded by a three-metre-high parapet wall, and a drawbridge is placed at the manor gate. There is a plaque on the gate, which reads "Taoyuan".

Two beast carts were parked outside the manor, and the drawbridge had been lowered at this time, and the two walked into the manor through the drawbridge.

There are only peach trees in the peach source, and there are two kinds of peach trees, flowering and fruiting, and flower trees and fruit trees grow at intervals. The peach blossoms are layered on top of each other, covering the entire manor, and people are in the midst of it, as if walking under the rouge cloud.

The two people who entered the village were middle-aged people, one was the fat man Xiang Yu, the mayor of Shuangxiang Town, and the other was thin and tall, wearing a long robe, his hair was tied in a bun, his eyebrows were swords, and his eyes were phoenixes.

Xiang Yu picked a peach from the fruit tree, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and before he could chew it, he blurted out the praise: "The peach planted by the lord is getting more and more peach-like." Eating a peach today can make me think about the taste of meat in March. ”

The middle-aged scribe snorted and ignored his stubble.

The two walked directly through the manor and came to the stone mountain, where the middle-aged scribe lightly buckled three times on the stone wall, two light and one heavy. A crack in the stone wall split and separated to the two sides, and an old servant waited there, and when the two entered the stone cave, the old servant slapped on the stone wall, and the stone door closed again behind the two without making a sound.

The old servant held a dim oil lamp to lead the way in front, in the stone cave, this oil lamp was the only light source, the three of them did not speak, the footsteps echoed in the stone cave passage, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy and depressing. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, there was another stone gate at the end of the passage. The stone door opened, and the two walked in, and the old servant gently closed the stone door.

Inside the stone gate was a bright cave hall, and the sunlight shone through the frosted glass on the roof of the cave, which made the two people who had just walked through the passage extremely uncomfortable. The two stood in the doorway for a moment before moving on. The cave hall is very spacious, about more than 1,000 square meters, but it is empty, and a golden throne in front of it is the only household in this hall. The throne was so large that it could almost make a bed.

There was a man on the throne, sitting sideways with his knees folded, his head tilted, and his posture was completely inappropriate for the throne. The man had cat-like ears, bulging eyes that took up one-fifth of his ochre-red face, two long nasal tubes protruding from his snout, and a mouth as wide as an orangutan beneath the nose tubes, resembling a large fruit bat. This person is the Red Bat King, who has been missing for ten years.

The two walked to a stop ten meters from the throne and bowed to the red bat. "My subordinates pay a visit to my lord. ”

The red bat turned around on the throne, but instead of sitting upright, he squatted on the throne and looked at the two on the ground with a playful face. He felt that the red cloak on his body was in the way, so he took it off and threw it aside. When he had done these things, he spoke: "What do you say you are doing? Get up, get up." Hearing this, the two got up, but listened to the red bat continue: "Although we are nominally monarchs and ministers, but you two are the first batch of old men with me, I really regard you as my brothers, why do you come to a big gift of three bows and nine bows at every turn?

The two of them had already gotten up, and when they heard the red bat say this, Xiang Yu immediately bowed three times indiscriminately, and then lay on the ground and kowtowed nine times. The middle-aged scribe had no choice but to follow the rules and make a big bow of three bows and nine bows.

"Look, it's still going on. Since you are so sincere, it is up to you. As he spoke, he shrank back, leaned back on the back of the throne, put one foot slightly bent on the chair, and put the other leg on it.

The middle-aged scribe got up, and when he saw the red bat's behavior, he frowned slightly, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "The lord of the ninety-five should have the majesty of the emperor." The subordinates are willing to find a ceremonial officer to teach the lord etiquette. "The middle-aged scribe is also the lord, the ninety-five, the emperor, and the subordinate, and he speaks nondescriptly, but he is very serious.

Without waiting for the red bat to speak, Xiang Yu jumped up, pointed at the middle-aged scribe and scolded: "Gong loses hope, you are bold." Who gave you the courage to accuse the lord of not knowing etiquette? Every move of the lord, every time he sits, what point is not in line with etiquette? What point does he not know etiquette?"

Finding it interesting, the red bat moved forward again, one leg crossed over the chair, and the other leg drooped down and dangled underneath.

Xiang Yu has been observing the face of the red bat with his spare eyes, and when he saw this, he became even more energetic, his spit splashed, and he kept comparing movements between words: "As soon as the lord takes a step, it is called Long Xing." The main male leg is a plate, which is called a dragon plate. The lord is lying down, and it is called a dragon sleeping. The lord jumped, and it was called Long Yue. When the lord is angry, it is called Long Wei. As soon as the lord spoke, I heard a faint wind and thunder......"

"Xiangyu, stop, stop! What is that dragon you are talking about?"

The fat man turned around and bowed to the red bat: "Back to the lord, that dragon is not a thing...... Well, I mean that the dragon is a mythical beast in the mythology of our hometown, and the emperor of our hometown is called the true dragon emperor. ”

The red bat had a gloomy face: "Oh, so, but in my hometown, the dragon is an evil creature. ”

Xiang Yu saw the horse's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, and fell to the ground with a frightened plop, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "My subordinates don't know, please punish the lord." ”

The red bat clapped his hands and laughed: "It's funny, it scares you." Hahaha, I just like your cleverness. ”

Xiang Yu's fat body got up from the ground with a bone, pointed his finger at Gong Wang, and continued his performance: "If you want me to say, you just take off your pants and fart, and do it too much." ”

Gong Wang's face turned pale, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Yu Chen." Xiang Yu didn't care, and when the performance was over, he stood aside with a smile, facing the red bat, with his head slightly lowered to show his obedience.

Gong Yiwang was about to speak, but the red bat waved his hand: "I know what you said about majesty, but it is for outsiders to see, you are all my old brothers, what is it for me to be majestic in front of you?"

Xiang Yu lost no time in interjecting: "The lord knows the grace of the encounter, and Xiang Yu should repay it." Gong Lost Wang also hurriedly saluted the red bat.

The red bat said again: "You let me be the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, I have the appearance of an emperor, it's early, when don't we have to hide in this rat hole to discuss things." Gong Wang nodded yes.

"Besides, I play two roles, if this side is too into the play, it will be easy to get into the gang there. ”

Gong was taken aback, but Xiang Yu patted the sycophants at the right time: "The lord is wise." After saying that, he felt that something was wrong, as if he had heard something he shouldn't have heard, his face turned white, and the two slits on his face finally opened a little, and he could see the eyeballs inside.

I really heard the red bat say: "Oops, as soon as my mouth slipped, why did I say this baldly." ”

Xiang Yu immediately knelt down: "Please put restrictions on the shackles of the heart door." ”

Gong Wang reluctantly knelt down: "Please let the lord go, and his subordinates will never complain." ”

The red bat said, "What are you doing? You are all old brothers, can I still not trust you?" Get up. The two didn't dare to get up, and the red bat said again: "That's it, since you are so insistent, then I have wronged you, too, what if you accidentally leak your mouth when you say something in a dream?" After about two minutes, the red bat's eyes turned brown again, and the facial muscles of the two slowly relaxed, but their faces were pale and exhausted, and they struggled several times and failed to stand up. The red bat said you just rest, we are not short of this effort. After speaking, the red bat lay down on the throne and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the two of them regained their strength, slowly got up from the ground, and stood with their heads bowed slightly.

"How do you feel?" asked the red bat with his eyes closed.

"It hurts. "The answer is the hope of public defeat. But I heard Xiang Yu say on the side: "After this baptism, my subordinates are like a spring breeze, and their bodies are a lot lighter." When he heard this, he was furious and gritted his teeth.

"Oh," the red bat sat up, and his huge eyes looked at Xiang Yu with some amusement, "I want to come again." ”

Xiang Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "The lord will definitely lose his own strength for his subordinates. The main male dragon body is important, and it is not worth working so hard for his subordinates. ”

Red Bat laughed, "I just like your wit. This was the second time he had said this, and Xiang Yu's little eyes narrowed even more, and he had a smirk. Seeing that the public lost Wang's face was pale, the red bat said: "I also like the righteousness of the public loss, one is wrong, one is positive and one is negative, and it complements each other." A drama can't all be positive, it's fun to have a harlequin. ”

Xiang Yu immediately said: "For the sake of fighting the lord to smile, Xiang Yu is willing to be a harlequin." Speaking of this, it was difficult to refute the public loss, so he had to hum softly in a voice that he couldn't hear, and stood aside to look at his nose and heart.

The red bat suddenly sat upright on the throne and said: "It's enough trouble, it's time to get down to business, what do you think of today's events?"

Gong Lost Wang thought for a while: "My subordinates think that the boss, the fifth and the ninth are forcing the palace, forcing a few gentlemen to express their positions, and forcing us to play cards." ”

The red bat nodded slightly, looked at Gong Wangwang with big eyes, and motioned for him to continue.

"Among several gentlemen, the third and eighth do not help each other, the second, the fourth and the seventh are obviously on our side, but they have not yet torn their faces with them, and the expression is more tactful, and the sixth does not need to be said. This result should have been expected by them, and this is also what the subordinates couldn't understand, why should they be so anxious to have a showdown with us, is there any reliance?"

"And what do you think they have to rely on?"

"The subordinates are stupid and can't think of it. ”

The red bat laughed twice: "I think you are thinking about the problem too much, they are forced by the old five, the old five and the second are forced to be old goods, they don't use their brains to do things, they have been hiding in the hole for two years, and they put out the cards as soon as they come out." The boss can't let him be too lonely, just make a mistake, and by the way, see if we will show a hole card. I figured that they had taken out a few of our outlying camps and forced us to abandon our base at Rock Mountain, and that we must have thought that we would retaliate against them. ”

Xiang Yu couldn't help it: "Then do you want to do something?" Tao Tang Kunwu has a deep foundation, it's not good to do anything for the time being, then Wufu ......"

The red bat sneered: "You just underestimate the fifth child so much? What do you think the fifth brother relies on? Salt Chamber of Commerce? The fifth child's reliance is his domestic servant Lao Yuan. Xiang Yu and Gong Wang were taken aback, and Chi Bat continued: "We just sent an army, and it is not enough for Lao Yuan to see. ”

Gong Yiwang asked, "Then what kind of magic skills does Lao Yuan have?"

"To scare you, group hypnosis. If you want to use martial arts, you have to prepare well. Xiang Yu and Gong Yu both gasped, and the red bat said: "Our preparation is not enough, at least three or five years, at most ten years, there is no need to have a head-on conflict with them." We have not moved the territory of those three men for the time being, leaving our people to lie dormant and wait for orders. If you don't have people, go to another hill to find them. ”

Gong Yiwang replied "yes", and then he looked embarrassed: "Hou Yu has taken people to Qigong Village, and wants to arrest a group of craftsmen to come back, and now I am informed, I am afraid it is too late." ”

The red bat frowned, and after a while, he said, "After you go back, immediately send someone to pick them up, help them hide their whereabouts, and after this vote, we will rest for a while." After speaking, he laughed dryly twice: "They have a bright card, we have a dark card, why look at our hole cards." You want me to make a move, but I can't make a move, let you punch in the air, see if you are uncomfortable. Xiang Yu said "The lord is clever" and immediately closed his mouth tightly.

The red bat's voice lowered, as if he was talking to himself: "The fifth is going to be exiled, the boss is going to be killed, the ninth is going to be punished, or the young man is bloody, hehehe." With that, he didn't speak again, leaned back in his chair again, and closed his eyes as if he were asleep. Gong Yu Wang and Xiang Yu stood straight, not daring to move.

Both of them were about to stand numb before the red bat opened his eyes, and he gave them another command before waving his hand to signal them to leave.

When the stone door was closed, the red bat whispered to himself: "The shackles of the heart gate of the public are very loose, if you don't find an excuse, how can you strengthen your shackles? In fact, that matter is not an important secret, even if you say it? The world knows me Red Bat, but who knows who the Red Bat is?" The red bat laughed hesitantly, laughing and laughing, and the figure on the throne slowly faded, and finally disappeared. The man on the throne is actually a doppelganger of the soul incarnation.

Gong Yi Wang and Xiang Yu walked out of the manor one after another, Gong Yu Wang felt the shackles of his heart, he had just loosened a little a little a month ago, and at this time he was strengthened again, and his face was gloomy. Xiang Yu followed behind him, behind his smiling face, he didn't know what he was thinking.
