Chapter 246 Xiang Liang's Choice

PS: Sorry, there was a small bug earlier. The person who came to Xiang Yu’s family should be shopkeeper Fang, not Manager Qian (Manager Qian is the second and fifth son of Yin Tong’s family). I got confused and confused the names of the two extras, and they have already been changed.

"Go back to Your Highness. According to the schedule, it should be delivered to Xiang Liang early tomorrow morning at the latest."

Although he didn't know why His Highness valued Xiang Yu's letter from home so much, Zhang Liang still answered Zhao Ying's questions 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, but he also specially arranged a particularly interesting scene for Xiang Yu at that time. After Xiang Yu saw the majesty of the First Emperor's traveling team, he made that domineering declaration.

"He can be replaced!"

This scene may not exist, but these uncle and nephew have probably really been to Xianyang.

So, now, at this point in time, will Xiang Liang still come to Xianyang?

Zhao Ying couldn't help but have a look of amusement in his eyes.

Zhang Liang: ...

Ah, this familiar look.

Zhang Liang only felt that he was familiar, and then he lowered his head very wisely, pretending not to notice that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, had hidden evil intentions.

"Inform Fan Kuai that during this period, let him allocate some people from the personal guard camp to serve as Xiang Yu's followers during these days. Don't be stingy with other expenses - we can't let outsiders think that our family is mean, ungrateful, and neglectful. Talented..."

Zhang Liang couldn't help but his eyelids twitched when he heard this.

"Your Highness is kind and kind..."

……

His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun is naturally kind.

The people of Xianyang City have seen it for all to see, and the servants in the eldest son's house are well-known for it. Even a newcomer like Xiang Yu, who has just won the martial arts champion, is treated with great courtesy. Every time he goes out, he is cheered and supported. It is very impressive and impressive. Extremely envious.

I wish I could join the emperor's eldest grandson.

No one knew how Xiang Yu felt when he received such courtesy, but shopkeeper Fang, who came to Xianyang to seek refuge with Xiang Yu and check on his little master's specific situation, was completely relieved.

My little master has clearly achieved great success!

"The patriarch is very concerned about you and specially asked me to come over and have a look..."

Having said this, Shopkeeper Fang looked around at the majestic guards who were guarding Xiang Yu every step of the way. He couldn't help but puff up his chest with pride.

"I didn't expect you to have broken out of this situation in such a short period of time! The clan leader will be extremely happy when he finds out..."

Xiang Yu: ...

Looking at Shopkeeper Fang who was spitting and chattering endlessly, Xiang Yu suddenly wanted to stop his mouth.

Extremely happy?

If he doesn't vomit blood on the spot, he must be regarded as an open-minded and tenacious old man!

But there were some things 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 home, and there is a postman from the imperial court. I believe it will be delivered to my uncle soon -"

Shopkeeper Fang became even more pleased when he heard that his young master had even considered this.

Sure enough, it is still a place like Xianyang that sharpens people. It has only been a while now, and the young master has already considered it so carefully.

Shopkeeper Fang came here on Xiang Liang's order. In addition to understanding Xiang Yu's situation, he also wanted to take a look at his own business.

Once you understand, you feel better.

Nowadays, Xiang Yu has become famous in Xianyang. Not only has he been awarded the first prize in martial arts, but he has also been appreciated by His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun. He can be regarded as a new noble in Xianyang.

Who could be so unscrupulous as to have trouble with such a potential stock?

Therefore, the business under the name of the Xiang family has been progressing unexpectedly smoothly. In just a few months, it has opened up, and the recent business has been even more prosperous.

Even the Bajun Huai family has already established a relationship.

This is going to God!

"It's all thanks to the young patriarch, our Xiang family is in great prosperity!"

Shopkeeper Fang's beard trembled with excitement.

After returning home, I couldn't wait to write a letter announcing the good news to my family owner, and asked the postman in Xianyang to deliver it early the next morning.

The postman of the imperial court naturally does not deliver mail to private individuals, but who is Shopkeeper Fang?

An old fox who has been struggling in the shopping mall for decades, he used the banner of his own young patriarch and handed over his thoughts without leaving any trace, and the matter was settled immediately!

No matter how strict the laws of the Qin Dynasty were, they could not stop the exchange of human relations.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. In fact, as long as nothing happens, don't go too far. Even your boss will mostly turn a blind eye.

Otherwise, none of his subordinates would be willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

For the sake of the future of the young patriarch of his family, and in order to establish a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, Shopkeeper Fang even used the power of the Xiang family in Xianyang the next day to prepare a sincere and generous gift, and specially came to pay homage to His Highness the Emperor's Grandson for his kindness to his family. The young master's care.

Xiang Yu felt tired for Shopkeeper Fang, who had been overwhelmed by the surprise.

He simply hid back in the eldest son's house, got into his own courtyard, and never came out.

Out of sight out of mind.

However, what made him a little bored was that Zhao Gao, who had returned from visiting relatives, seemed to have something on his mind and became even more taciturn. He was no longer interested in sparring with him in swordsmanship.

He could only sit in the yard and read a book every day. When he became too suffocated, he would go to the martial arts field in the back garden to practice martial arts.

However, he only went during the day, neither morning nor night.

Mainly because he didn't want to meet Zhao Ying.

Every time he saw Zhao Ying playing with a halberd weighing more than 500 kilograms with one hand, like a lamp grass, he felt hit. What made him even more speechless was that every time he finished playing, he would sigh.

"Oh, it's too light..."

At this time, he felt that his behavior of looking after Zixiong in Kuaiji County and boasting about his bravery was like a big joke.

Only Zhui Gu, whenever he saw this, would shout, cheer loudly, and be extremely excited.

Two days like this passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Xiang Yu was bored and thinking about leaving Xianyang early and going to Qiemo, Xiang Liang, who was far away in Kuaiji, finally received Xiang Yu's personal letter.

Just by glancing at it, he was sure that it was Xiang Yu's handwriting.

This letter is as concise as ever.

He already knew about winning the top prize in martial arts.

But when he saw that Xiang Yu claimed that he had been favored by the emperor's grandson as soon as he entered Xianyang, he was grateful for his kindness and had joined the emperor's grandson. His highness, the emperor's highness, even heard the news about his cousin Zhao Wan's wife. He frowned instantly.

Something is wrong!

very wrong!

I have watched my nephew grow up, and I know his character and temper very well. How can he be willing to be inferior to others?

What's more, my Xiang family and Da Qin have a blood feud and are sworn to be incompatible. For these years, I have been living in seclusion in Kuaiji, working hard and working hard, for what reason?

How could he join the emperor's eldest grandson?

And marry the cousin of the emperor's eldest grandson...

He frowned and studied word for word again, trying to find some clues. However, no matter how you looked at this letter, it was all written by his nephew. Even when he wrote the word "feather", there was a slight stroke floating out. , all exactly the same.

It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to fake it!

Therefore, his nephew has joined the service of the emperor's eldest grandson and wants to marry the emperor's eldest grandson's family. Seeing the request to go to Xianyang to host the marriage, Xiang Liang couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.

If everything said in this letter is true, then there must be something left unsaid!

It can’t even be said clearly!

Under what circumstances would this arrogant nephew bow his head and submit, and even make a request to enter Xianyang at this critical juncture?

Xiang Liang pondered for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiang Yu's somewhat solemn words.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is unrivaled in his prowess and martial arts. No one can match him. I am determined to join His Highness the eldest emperor's grandson and serve as his vanguard!"

"No match!"

He was telling me that this emperor's eldest grandson was incomparable. It is even very possible that they have caught us, or at least made us suspicious!

He suddenly thought of the eldest son's mansion caravan, which was suddenly doing more and more business in Kuaiji County, and even his own family had done business with them.

And, the shopkeeper Jing, who is tall, has a slim neck, and always seems to be smiling!

Have they noticed the anomaly in Kuaiji County a long time ago?

He has already made plans for his uncle and nephew!

They knew all about their troubles, so as soon as Yu'er entered Xianyang, he had actually fallen into the hands of the emperor's grandson. As for the so-called importance, the so-called number one scholar, and the so-called marriage, it was all because he had already You can't help yourself, you are controlled by others!

This thought horrified him.

Everything is 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 remained as usual, he hung a long sword on his waist and pushed out the door. However, if you look carefully, you can see that the old Chu general who used to be indifferent to joy and anger has bloodshot eyes, and there is an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

"Call the Iron Guard——"

Xiang Liang ate breakfast calmly and waited for his servants to clear away the food. Then he held the hilt of his sword and gave instructions in a deep voice.

After hearing Xiang Liang's instructions, the old servant beside him couldn't help but his eyelids twitched, and without saying a word, he bowed down and conveyed the instructions.

After a while, ten middle-aged men with resolute faces and capable bodies filed in.

Xiang Liang's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the ten of them, and when he saw that all of them had expressions unchanged, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Follow me to see Governor Yin!"

Upon hearing Xiang Liang's visit, Yin Tong couldn't help but reveal a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Xiang Yu’s letter.

Moreover, it was a court station that he passed through. As a prefect, he would not be unaware of it.

This shows that Xiang Yu not only won the first prize, but also most likely has joined the army of the emperor's grandson. Otherwise, a new champion with no actual job would not be able to use the post to send private messages.

However, although he had doubts about Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew's actions, Yin Tong still tended to believe Xiang Liang's statement in his heart, because there was no possibility of Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew compromising with Great Qin!

Family hatred and country hatred!

After all these years of hard work, how could you give up so easily?

However, you must be on guard against others.

To be on the safe side, Yin Tong decided to play it safe.

"Please speak to Master Xiang's study room——"

After saying that, he put down the teacup in his hand and winked at the steward Qian who was waiting on the side.

"Manager Qian, go and notify General Long Ze personally and ask him to come to my study to discuss matters!"

Manager Qian understood and turned around to leave. However, what Yin Tong didn't know was that after leaving the backyard, his loyal money manager quickened his pace, and before he had gone far, he caught up with the boy in Tsing Yi who had gone to inform Xiang Liang.

When Manager Qian walked away, Yin Tong turned around and gave instructions.

"Go and ask Mr. Zhang to come -"

Mr. Zhang was a retainer hired by his family with a lot of money. His swordsmanship was so superb that even Xiang Liang admired him. It is believed that his swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world and has few enemies.

Before you can figure out the intentions of Xiang's uncle and nephew, it's better to be careful.

"The money manager——"

The boy bowed respectfully, and Manager Qian nodded slightly, then waved his hand.

"Go and prepare your horses. Head of the Xiang family, I can go there myself..."

The boy didn't dare to disobey, so he bowed and went to prepare the horse for steward Qian, while steward Qian walked quickly to the front hall.

"I have met the head of the Xiang family——"

Manager Qian glanced at the dozen or so iron guards waiting outside as if nothing had happened, and then bowed to Xiang Liang.

"Your Majesty the Sheriff, please go to the study to have a talk..."

"You have to work and pay to take care of things..."

Xiang Liang stood up and returned the gift, as modest and courteous as ever.

Xiang Liang walked out, and Manager Qian followed him out of the room. He used the stall to go out and said in a low voice behind him.

"Lord Sheriff, please let me inform General Longze..."

Xiang Liang was suddenly shocked when he heard this.

He glanced at Manager Qian with a grateful expression.

"Thank you very much. I will be richly rewarded in the future!"

That thief Yin Tong is suspicious of himself!

Not too stupid!

Xiang Liang smiled and cupped his hands at the money manager.

"Just take care of your money..."

More than ten iron guards followed Xiang Liang silently. No one was suspicious about this. In the past, when the head of the Xiang family came, most of his servants would follow him.

What's more, these servants stopped automatically when they reached the door of the study courtyard.

Xiang Liang strode in.

"Xiang Liang has met the county governor——"

Seeing Yin Tong and Mr. Zhang coming out of the study from a distance, Xiang Liang acted as if he hadn't seen Mr. Zhang. He took a few steps ahead and saluted from a distance.

"Brother Xiang, be polite——"

Yin Tong smiled and returned the favor.

The three of them returned to the study and sat down again. Xiang Liang took out Xiang Yu's letter from his arms and handed it over with a happy face.

"Lord Sheriff, I'm very happy. Fortunately, my nephew has lived up to his command and has successfully gained the trust of the emperor's eldest grandson!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Tong took the letter from Xiang Liang's hand with some confusion and looked down.

Sure enough, as Xiang Liang said, the young man named Xiang Yu has gained the trust of the emperor's eldest grandson, and is even about to marry the emperor's eldest grandson's cousin, the daughter of the fourth son of the Gao family!

"My nephew is really good at it -"

Although he has doubts in his heart, Yin Tong has not yet turned against him. The timing is not right. He has not yet taken the initiative in Daze Township, and he still needs to rely on the power of Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew.
