Concubine Yu took Qiuyue, and Qiuyue was holding a tray, and walked gracefully to the meeting hall, but saw two guards had already stepped forward, clasped their hands and said, "Madam Yu, the king is discussing matters."

Yu Ji squeezed out a smile and said, "Oh, really, I'll come back later." She turned around, and the smile on her face quickly dimmed.In the past, Xiang Yu didn't avoid her when discussing matters, but now, he...

The two guards looked at Yu Ji's back, like a weak willow Fufeng, and were a little stunned.When Concubine Yu turned around the corridor, the two of them came back to their senses, with expressions of unbearable expression on their faces.As Xiang Yu's personal guards, they also know that Yu Ji is being neglected by the king now, alas, such a beauty, the king is really willing...

In the study room, Zhong Limei was only listening to pointing at the map hanging on the wall, explaining the current situation.

"My lord, Liu Bang is gathering troops on the front line of Xingyang. According to the scout report, there are about 20 troops."

Xiang Zhuang's face was very calm, and he said, "Where are the princes?"

Zhong Limei said: "Zhao Wang Zhang Ao has brought fifty thousand horses to Xingyang."

Xiang Zhuang said: "This boy, in order to help his father-in-law, he even gave up his family fortune." Zhang Ao was the son of Zhang Er, the former king of Zhao, and married Liu Yuan, the daughter of Liu Bang. After Zhang Er died last year, he succeeded King Zhao. position.

Xiang Yu, who had been listening quietly, said, "Where are Ying Bu and Wu Rui? Are there any movements from them?"

Zhong Limei shook his head and said, "No."

Xiang Sheng who was at the side interjected, "It must be that boy Yingbu fought in Gaixia and was frightened of being beaten."

Xiang Zhuang said: "Yingbo and Wu Rui must be waiting and watching now, and these two people still have to be guarded against."

"Well," Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Where is King Qi?"

Zhong Limei said: "There is no movement at King Qi's side."

Xiang Zhuang curled his lips and said, "Didn't your lord form an alliance with that Han Xin? Why don't you see him bring troops to Pengcheng to help?"

Xiang Yu glanced at him coldly and said, "How do you know that Liu Bang has no means to deal with him?"

Xiang Zhuang curled his lips again, bowed his head and remained silent.In the past, when Han Xin was a doctor, his cousin took good care of him. Later, the boy rebelled against Chu and returned to Han, helped Liu Bang deal with his cousin, and even wiped out the 20 Chu army that his cousin aided Qi. Unexpectedly, The cousin still favors him so much.

Xiang Sheng suddenly said: "Where is this old boy Peng Yue? This old boy is Liu Bang's loyal dog."

Zhong Limei shook his head and said, "This old boy is very difficult."

Peng Yue was originally a bandit from Juyeze, and later led more than 3 people to join Liu Bang.When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were in a stalemate in Xingyang, Peng Yue often stood behind Xiang Yu as a ranger, harassing his grain road, but once Xiang Yu freed his hand to attack him, Peng Yue would run away, and when Xiang Yu returned to Xingyang to confront Liu Bang Afterwards, Peng Yue went to harass Chu Jun Liangdao again.

Zhong Limei said: "Peng Yue didn't move at all. If he still helps Liu Bang this time, he will probably use his old ways."

Including Xiang Yu, everyone frowned.Peng Yue was as slippery as a tarsal maggot, and like a loach, very difficult to deal with.

Xiang Yu pursed his lips, and said: "Our army has assembled now. Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Sheng, I order you two to stay in Pengcheng. Be sure to defend well and not to fight lightly. The rest of the generals will follow me to Xingyang tomorrow!"

"Here!"

All the generals dispersed, leaving Xiang Yu alone, sitting in front of the case, meditating silently.The room was silent, and the incense burner in one corner was puffing out clouds and mist, and the fragrance was lingering. His expression was calm, but it seemed to be stained with a touch of desolation.Why is there still no news of him?Alas, it is too difficult for him to openly turn against Liu Bang. Now he is like Yingbu and Wu Rui, and he does not help each other, which is very good.

Suddenly, footsteps came hurriedly, and the guards reported: "Your Majesty, the Qi State is here!"

Xiang Yu's eyes lit up involuntarily, and said, "Xuan!"

After a while, the envoy of the State of Qi came in, holding a clay pot in his hand, and when he saw Xiang Yu, he knelt down and saluted.

Xiang Yu glanced at the clay pot and asked suspiciously, "This is it?"

The envoy of Qi said with a smile: "My king has a letter. King Xiang has read it, so he knows it." After speaking, he put down the clay pot and took out the letter from his sleeve.

Xiang Yu took the letter, unfolded it, and said, "Your Majesty Xiang: Thank you for your concern, I offer you a can of fish vinegar. Also, Peng Yue, don't worry. Believe me." The characters are that person's characters. I read it several times, as if every word should be firmly engraved in my heart.Finally, he folded the letter, carefully put it in his sleeve, raised his head and asked, "Who is this fish wine?"

The envoy of Qi said with a smile: "This is the fish vinegar made from the fish that King Qi caught with his own hands in the water of Zi. I hope King Xiang likes it." After speaking, he presented the clay pot with both hands.

The guard took the pot and put it on Xiang Yu's case.He rubbed the clay pot, couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and said kindly: "The envoy's kiss is hard, I reward you with twenty gold, go down and rest."

The envoy couldn't help being elated, King Xiang was really generous beyond expectations, and the hard work of the journey was worth it.He hurriedly thanked him, and went down to rest with the guards. Xiang Yu saw that it was already dinner time, so he ordered to pass the meal, and ate alone in the study.

After a while, the cook delivered food boxes, and the servants took out burnt wild pork meat, roasted venison, green sunflower soup, shiny white rice, bean porridge, bronze wine bottles, and wine jugs from the food boxes. , arranged on the desk, all kinds of things, occupying most of the desk surface.

Xiang Yu patted the clay pot lightly, and said, "I want to taste this fish vinegar, just in time for dinner."

The servant hastily took another empty bowl from the food box, opened the pot, and smelled the salty smell of fish, and was about to fill the bowl when he heard Xiang Yu say, "Don't fill too much, half a bowl is enough. "

The servant shook his hands, responded, filled a small bowl of fish vinegar, waited for a while, and when he saw that Xiang Yu had no other orders, he stepped back lightly.

Walking down the corridor, I happened to meet Concubine Yu, carrying Qiuyue and holding a tray, the servant hurriedly avoided to one side and bowed to salute.

Yu Ji recognized that person as a servant of the kitchen, and said, "Your Majesty is eating?"

The servant said: "Go back to Madam, that's right."

Yu Ji said: "Okay. You step back."

Seeing the bowl in the tray in Qiuyue's hand, the servant seemed to have a faint aroma, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid Ma'am is also going to deliver food for the king."

Let's say that Yu Ji walked to the door of the study room, but the guards did not stop her this time, Yu Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, entered the room, and saw Xiang Yu eating.

Concubine Yu took the bowl from the tray, put it on the table, glanced at Xiang Yu's table, and saw that there was a smell of fish vinegar, she couldn't help thinking: "It seems that I made a good inquiry, the king's taste has really changed, he I didn’t like eating fish before, and I didn’t even like sticky things like fish vinegar.”

As she thought about it, she lifted the lid of the bowl, and there was a bowl of fish soup in the bowl. The tender white fish was sprinkled with green onion, and there were a few oil stars floating in it.

Xiang Yu glanced at the fish soup lightly, but didn't intend to taste it.

Qiuyue said from the side: "My lord, this bowl of fish soup was made by my wife herself, and even the fishbone was peeled off by my wife herself, so my wife's hands were red from the fishbone..." Yuji gave Qiuyue a sideways glance, At the same time, he retracted his hand.

Xiang Yu glanced at Yu Ji's hand that was trying to hide under the skirt, it seemed a little red and swollen, he sighed, and said, "Oh, Yu Ji, as I said earlier, you don't have to touch your hands when it comes to cooking."

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "It's my blessing to be able to do something for the King. Try it, Your Majesty, does this fish soup suit your taste?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Xiang Yu earnestly.

There was a trace of guilt in Xiang Yu's eyes. He looked at the fish soup, then at Yu Ji's hand, lowered his head, thought for a while, finally raised his head, and said decisively: "Yu Ji, although I have talked to you long ago, But these years, after all, I was wrong, and let you bear the false name in vain. How about it, if this time, if I really can destroy Liu Bang, I will make you a queen, and if I can enter you In your eyes, I will make the decision for you."

Qiuyue was at the side, already dumbfounded. What does it mean "I have talked to you long ago" and what does it mean "let you bear a false name in vain"?And what is "I am civil and military, if someone catches your eye, I will make the decision for you", who can tell her what is going on?

But Yu Ji's face was pale, her thin figure was already on the verge of falling, and her hands were tightly twisted together.She took a few steps forward, staggered a little between her steps, and said in a mournful voice: "My lord, who is it? Tell me, who is it?"

Xiang Yu couldn't bear to look any longer, so he turned his head and told Qiuyue, "Don't you want to help Concubine Yu down?"

Only then did Qiuyue let out an "ah", as if waking up from a dream, she hurried to Yu Ji's side, held her arm, and said, "Ma'am, let's go down first."

After the two women's backs disappeared outside the door, it took a long time before Xiang Yu let out a long breath, shook his head, glanced at the fish soup, and ordered the servants to remove it intact.He picked up a chopstick of fish vinegar, took a mouthful of rice vigorously, chewed it a dozen times, and then swallowed it slowly.
