Chapter 192 Ending

  At the end of the year, the uprising started by Daze Township shook the entire Qin State, and the mysterious person who had been pushing all this behind the scenes finally appeared in front of Liu Bang.

  When he knew that someone from Xianyang had come to see him, he was both a little excited and a little uneasy.

When he came to the bank of the Sishui River, he could see a group of chariots and horses stretching for several miles from a distance. The soldiers in armor were lined up in two rows. Liu Bang walked through them with some trepidation. He saw a man standing facing the river, wearing a cloak and hood. , bringing out a strong fragrance in the wind, and when he got closer, the fragrance became more and more intense, Liu Bang sniffled, and subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

From the back view, the other party is not a woman, but the back view makes people feel inexplicably familiar. Liu Bang's heart jumped suddenly, and there was a bad premonition. When Yi Xiaochuan turned around, Liu Bang's face turned pale instantly, and his eyelids kept twitching , cold sweat drenched from his forehead.

  Liu Bang swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Why are you, my virtuous brother?"

   It’s been a year since I saw him. At this time, Yi Xiaochuan has changed into a solemn black official uniform, and the bangs on his temples and forehead are also pressed under the hair crown, and he combs them meticulously.

  The whole person is completely different from the past in terms of temperament and image. The only thing that remains the same may be the same appearance and smooth chin as before.

   "If it weren't for me, who would give you money, food and grass for no reason to help you win people's hearts?"

Liu Bang became more and more frightened. In the past year, even in Pei County, he often heard some deeds from Xianyang. He heard about the riots in various places. The Eunuch Chuan and Li Si in front of him are in control.

Right now, Yi Xiaochuan came to Pei County to look for him in person, Liu Bang knew that the other party was not just reminiscing about the old days, even though Yi Xiaochuan had been subsidizing him for more than half a year, but he still couldn't help feeling a little worried, worried that Yi Xiaochuan would remember the matter of forced labor, Want to seek revenge.

"I didn't expect my virtuous brother to work on state affairs every day, but he still doesn't forget his old brother in Pei County. I'm so touched." Liu Bang rolled up his sleeves with tears in his eyes, lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, and kept looking at Yi Xiaochuan from the corner of his eyes. , observing the change of the other party's expression.

There was a flash of warmth in Yi Xiaochuan's eyes. Now he has already cut off contact with Gao Yao, Zhou Ji and others. He didn't even attend Xiang Yu Xiaoyue's wedding. Now that he heard Liu Bang's "sincerely affectionate" words, his heart still There is such a little touch.

  Seeing Yi Xiaochuan's eyes softened, Liu Bang took advantage of the situation and pulled Yi Xiaochuan's wrist, and started chatting with him. Yi Xiaochuan may not have talked so much with anyone for a long time.

  Order to prepare the table, table, wine and dishes, and the two sat by the Sishui River, talking happily.

During the period, Liu Bang inquired about Yi Xiaochuan's reason for coming, and Yi Xiaochuan said bluntly: "At present, the state of Qin is in a precarious state, and it is about to enter the day of overthrow. I have sponsored my elder brother for a long time, just to let my elder brother make friends with heroes and have the resources to revolt. "

   "Uprising?! You want me to rebel!"

  Liu Bang stood up suddenly, and looked at Yi Xiaochuan dumbfounded. He had never dared to think about rebellion before, but now when Yi Xiaochuan mentioned it, the first reaction in his heart was:

  Yi Xiaochuan's trip really came to seek revenge, and he wanted to implicate his Liu family and drive him to a dead end.

  Yi Xiaochuan nodded slightly, waved his hand to let him sit down, and said with a smile: "If not, how could I give you so much money to win people's hearts?"

   Liu Bang glanced at the axeman who was not far away, and the sharp blade swayed his eyes, making his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

  Liu Bang had a feeling in his heart that if he rejected Yi Xiaochuan today, he was afraid that Surabaya would become his own grave.

   Taking his seat again, Yi Xiaochuan saw the panic in Liu Bang's eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much about the uprising, I will do my best to help you conquer Xianyang and become emperor."

   ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor

  Liu Bang couldn't help being in a trance, who doesn't like being an emperor? But what about after becoming emperor? What is the purpose of Yi Xiaochuan helping him do these things?

  Liu Bang, who is dark by nature, believes in the heartless Yi Xiaochuan in the past, but he is 120% vigilant about this Eunuch Chuan in front of him.

"If my virtuous brother can really help me achieve great things, I would like to make my virtuous brother the king of the word and share the world with you!" Liu Bang hid the temptation in his eyes, pretended to be generous and held Yi Xiaochuan's hand, shaking it excitedly. Twice.

  This number has been abolished, so what if you win the world?

  Yi Xiaochuan sighed softly, and said quietly: "No need, I'm not interested in the world. When you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, I will live in seclusion and avoid the troubles of the court."

  If Yi Xiaochuan agreed readily, Liu Bang felt a little relieved, but when he heard Yi Xiaochuan categorically rejected the matter, Liu Bang's original 12-point vigilance soared a little bit, and his eyes aimed at Yi Xiaochuan, faintly full of fear.

   Over there in Xianyang.

  Zhou Ji has never paid attention to these little moves made by Yi Xiaochuan, or doesn't need to pay attention at all.

  Where the history of this world goes has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't expect to spend all his remaining lifespan here, just to survive until modern times.

  The only thing affected may be the expansion plan of the No. 1 Building in the World.

Due to the riots in various places, Gao Yao originally wanted to shelve the branch branch plan, but due to the insistence of Xiang Liang and the Xiang clan, Xiang Yu had to take Xiaoyue back to Chu. Du, opened the first restaurant branch.

A few months later, news of the rebel army came again from the Mangdang Mountains in Fengxi. The leader called himself the son of the Red Emperor, and killed the white snake to revolt. Take Pei County, and use it as a base to spread around.

Hearing this news, Lu Zhi and Su Su were so frightened that they almost fainted. Lu Gong can be said to be rich in the past few years because of the papermaking workshop. What should I do?

   For this reason, Zhou Ji had no choice but to comfort the two daughters, and rushed back to Pei County overnight.

   Fortunately, Liu Bang is not a reckless person. He knows that Lu Gong holds a paper mill and is quite influential in both poor families and noble families. Therefore, after entering the city, he just sent someone to put him under house arrest.

  As for those paper mills and bookstores that can lay golden eggs, he has been coveting them for a long time, and he immediately bought them, and also dispatched heavy soldiers to guard them.

At night, Liu Bang was dealing with government affairs in the army. Suddenly, a familiar feeling flooded into his heart. When he looked up again, he saw a nightmarish figure appearing in front of his desk. The candle flame stood vertically without shaking at all. But his heart trembled endlessly, as if he had returned to the day when he squatted in the middle of the night.

   Startled, Liu Bang knocked down the inkstone intentionally or unintentionally, and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced outside the door, but saw that the guard at the door did not move at all, as if frozen in place.

   "Don't play such tricks in front of me, they won't hear it." Zhou Ji smiled lightly, looked down at the inkstone on the ground, as if a pair of invisible palms slowly picked it up, and then floated in front of Liu Bang. "There are only three things, this is my second warning."

   bang~

  Zhou Ji's eyes were fixed, the inkstone exploded, the corpses were splashed, and the ink also splashed down like blood, which not only stained the documents on the table, but also splashed on Liu Bang's forehead and cheeks, causing him to close his eyes subconsciously.

  Viscous ink slipped down his eyelids, as if the touch of blood caused Liu Bang to fall to the ground. When he opened his eyes again, there was no one in the room, but footsteps came from outside the door.

   "My lord, news came from the Lu family that Master Lu suddenly disappeared in full view."

The guards sent to Lu's house bent down at the door to report that they hadn't seen any movement in the room for a long time, and looked up tentatively, only to see Liu Bang tidying up his clothes, wiping the ink on his face, coming from there, and said in a deep voice: I already know the matter. Send an order to return the paper mill and bookstore to the Lu family, and prohibit any soldiers from looting or insulting the Lu family. Anyone who violates the law will be punished without mercy!"

   "Well..." Although the guard was puzzled, he could only bow his head and accept the order.

  After the guard left, Liu Bang looked at the two guards on duty at the door, and said in a deep voice, "Did you notice any movement just now?"

  The two looked at each other, and looked at Liu Bang with a puzzled expression. Liu Bang knew the answer when he saw their expressions, and waved his hand, "Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

   As he spoke, he returned to the room, looking at the fragments of inkstones all over the floor with a complicated expression, and the fear in his eyes has not completely dissipated until now.

"It's no wonder that Xiao Chuan has repeatedly emphasized not to be an enemy of Zhou Ji. With his weird sorcery, unless he uses all the power of the whole country, it is impossible to prevent him from killing me with my little guard." Liu Bang's back was cold, thinking Zhou Ji thought of Yi Xiaochuan again, and suddenly felt two mountains pressing down on his head.

   If I don't move them away, I will never be able to breathe.

  Pei County is Liu Bang's territory after all. Even if Zhou Ji believes that the other party will not dare to attack Lu Gong again, staying in Pei County will be lying under the opponent's knife after all, and it is by no means a long-term solution.

  So early the next morning, Zhou Ji came early in a carriage and sent Lu Gong back to Xianyang.

From Daopei County in Xianyang, if Zhou Ji was alone, he could run several round trips in one night. Unfortunately, Lu Gong was old and his legs and feet were really inconvenient, so Zhou Ji had to find a carriage and hurried back to Xianyang. When I returned to Xianyang, more than a month had passed, and Ying Zheng also started his east tour a few days ago.

   Looking up at the starry sky, a meteor fell.

  Actually, like Yi Xiaochuan, Zhou Ji does not want to change history.

  The difference is that he will not deliberately modify it, nor will he take the initiative to repair it.

  Like a bystander, watching the time in front of him go by, confronting the destiny of this world with an 'indisputable' mentality.

  Walking to the sand dunes, Yingzheng died suddenly of poison, and Yi Xiaochuan, according to Zhao Gao in his memory, tampered with the imperial edict to support Huhai to ascend the throne, removed Yushu from the list of burials, and sent it back to the Tu'an tribe.

  Since then, the state of Qin has been in complete chaos, the morale of the army has collapsed, and the people's grievances have boiled.

  The rebel armies from all over the world were gradually gathered by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. In a blink of an eye, there were only two forces left in the whole world, Chu and Han, advancing hand in hand, pressing towards Xianyang.

  Yi Xiaochuan was already in charge of the court at this time, while gathering troops to thwart Xiang Yu's army, while continuing to support Liu Bang to help him invade Xianyang earlier.

It is a pity that the Qin army at this time was no longer useful, and it was already defeated once they fought. Xiang Yu's army became more and more courageous because of successive victories. It almost arrived outside Xianyang City at the same time as Liu Bang, forming a confrontation between the two armies. .

Because Yi Xiaochuan didn't know Liu Bang when he made friends with Xiang Yu, and he only mentioned this matter when he met in Xianyang. When Xiang Yu went to Juxian Hall, Liu Bang had already fled back to Peixian County, so he was very angry with this "big brother" who framed Xiaochuan. ' Not half a favor.

   But Liu Bang didn't know about the relationship between his "good brother" and Xiang Yu. Yi Xiaochuan never mentioned these things to him, and he had no way of knowing.

  During the confrontation between the two armies, Liu Bang had already made an appointment with Yi Xiaochuan on the date of surrender, so he used the excuse that whoever captured Xianyang first would be the king of Hanzhong, and used the Xianyang defenders to consume Xiang Yu's troops.

   Xiang Yu was reckless and arrogant, so he naturally agreed.

  After all, Xianyang City is the capital of the Qin State. The city is high and the pool is deep, and it is guarded by the imperial army, but this battle was fought extremely fiercely.

  Gao Yao was in the city when he heard the news that the Chu army was attacking the city, and he was very anxious. Gao Yue is his only sister here. If something happened to Xiang Yu, wouldn't Gao Yue be a widow?

Fortunately, although most of the Chu army was lost, Xiang Yu was not injured, and Liu Bang took advantage of Yi Xiaochuan's opportunity to open the city gate, took Xianyang City without a single soldier, and ordered the city gate to be closed to defend the city. He refused Xiang Yu's request to enter the city.

  Xiang Yu was very angry about this, but because of the previous agreement, he retreated the army to another place, planning to rest for a few days before going to conquer other places.

  In the main hall of the imperial palace, all the officials knelt down in front of the emperor.

   Liu Bang has been to Xianyang more than once.

   Whenever he was in corvée, he would bring people to Xianyang. Unfortunately, as the head of the small pavilion, he had never been to the palace, especially standing on the top of the hall, overlooking the officials.

  Ever since being threatened by Yi Xiaochuan to revolt, something called ambition has been growing in his chest. As the army is in full swing, this ambition has become bigger and bigger.

  Now, standing where the emperor can stand, Liu Bang's state of mind suddenly changed a little. The ambition is still ambition, but there is more uncontrollable greed.

   Harem side hall.

  Liu Bang paced along the slightly decaying alleyway, seeing the somewhat blurred words "Jade Beauty Hall", the guards behind hurried forward and pushed open the half-closed door.

  There is a water pavilion in the corridor, and there is a small floating platform in the middle of the pool. Yi Xiaochuan is sitting in the middle of the floating platform at this time, playing with the tea in front of him.

  Liu Bang waved his hands, indicating that everyone does not need to follow, then walked along the corridor to the middle of the floating platform, and came to the opposite side of Yi Xiaochuan.

"Liu Bangneng has this day all thanks to my virtuous brother. I can't thank you for such a great kindness. On the day I ascend the throne, I will give half of the world to my virtuous brother. I hope my virtuous brother will not refuse." Liu Bang said, kneeling He bowed down, kowtowed and bowed, his words were so earnest that Yi Xiaochuan, who looked calm, couldn't help but feel a little moved, and the way he looked at Liu Bang became a little moved.
