Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Members of the Xiang clan lowered their proud heads and crawled in directly.

They gritted their teeth, and their eyes were full of humiliation. Many young people even clenched their fists, wishing to dig their nails into their flesh.

The leader of the Xiang clan had even colder eyes. He pursed his lips, and his whole body was filled with hatred.

but.

When he entered the meeting place, he became stable.

Let the clansman kneel behind him, while he kowtows and bows three times and walks a hundred steps in front of Ying Zheng.

After the salute, the contents of the backpack were taken out and placed on the ground.

"Xiang Liang, the son of the sinful general Xiang Yan, led the Xiang clan to kneel down to worship His Majesty the Emperor of Qin. I hereby present the treasure of the Xiang clan [Picture of Hundred Battles], and wish His Majesty long live!"

Li Jue was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that this person was Xiang Liang.

He thought that the Xiang clan didn't dare to send such intelligent people, at most they were marginal figures.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Liang came in person.

He is the patriarch of the Xiang clan, isn't he afraid of being overwhelmed?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that whether he comes or not, Ying Zheng can kill them all at once.

If you don't come in person, and the subordinates do something wrong, it will be a matter of regret for the rest of your life.

He moved his eyes down and scanned among those members of the Xiang clan, wanting to see if Xiang Yu was among them.

Li Jue had never met Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu was extremely brave and must be powerful, he could tell at a glance.

As a result, among the group of people, he really didn't see any powerful people. The most powerful one was just a middle-aged master, and the others were ordinary warriors.

Li Jue sneered, as expected, it was impossible for the Xiang clan to send all the direct descendants here, especially since the whole village wanted Xiang Yu.

How could it be in danger.

Ying Zheng looked down at Xiang Liang for a moment, and the proud Xiang Liang was finally in a cold sweat, his heart was clouded, and he didn't dare to look up.

At this moment, the hatred in my heart was replaced by fear.

He almost couldn't help peeing his pants, because he knew that Ying Zheng was probably very angry at this moment, and if he wanted to kill him and the whole family, it would only be a matter of one sentence.

Ying Zheng spoke up anyway, and said, "Your Xiang clan have a lot of face, I'm still here waiting for you!"

Xiang Liang quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the grass-roots people have no face to face His Majesty, so they dare not come."

Ying Zheng said, "If that's the case, why are you here again?"

Xiang Liang said: "The grass people heard His Majesty's call outside, and although they are shameless, they dare not not come."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and Xiang Liang shivered suddenly.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was really hesitant in his heart, whether he should take this opportunity to wipe out the Xiang clan.

Killing them is as easy as crushing ants.

but.

So many nobles are watching, if the Xiang family is touched, they will definitely make them die and be sad, and they will be obedient to him!

At this time, Yingzheng still had an official-based ideology, and felt that in addition to relying on officials, the governance of various places also needed the help of landlords and gentry.

The Xiang family has no soldiers and horses, so there is nothing to fear, and they are the largest squires in the area.

It is estimated that local governance still needs their help.

not to mention.

He came here to show kindness and power, and to appease the people. If he took this opportunity to kill, he would be labeled as a tyrant.

Moreover, the local area is not easy to govern. At this time, the Xiongnu outside his Yin Mountain are watching, and Wu Yue in the south is also ready to move.

Great Qin too needs to develop steadily.

After hesitating for a while, Ying Zheng decided to let the Xiang family go, just like letting go of an ant.

It's not that he is kind, but that the ants are not a threat.

Zhao Gao had been paying attention to Ying Zheng's expression, and when he saw this, he hurried out to smooth things over, saying, "Presumptuous, no matter what your reasons are, His Majesty will come early if he wants to see you in the future."

And later.

Xiang Liang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and showed gratitude to Zhao Gao.

Hastily said: "Yes, yes, the Xiang family is safe and sound, and looks forward to your Majesty's leadership."

Ying Zheng said, "Okay, step back."

Xiang Liang said: "Your Majesty, I still have treasures to offer."

Ying Zheng said: "Open it on the spot, I will take a look."

When Xiang Liang opened it, it was a leather case, and on it was a picture of a general riding a horse and killing all directions!

He explained: "This is a map of hundreds of battles. The general on it is General Wang Jian of the Great Qin Dynasty. The general opened up territories for His Majesty, slaughtered all directions, and surrendered all over the world."

Ying Zheng glanced at it from afar, then nodded, and let people accept it without making any comments.

Then he glanced at the members of the Xiang clan, and saw that many young people came, but they were all ordinary people, so there was nothing to worry about.

The sheepskin pictures sent were also more meaningful than their value. The Xiang family is really useless and worthless.

Ying Zheng was still thinking about who did the Huaihe assassination.

He had suspected the Xiang family, but now it seems that the Xiang family does not have enough strength!

Could it be.

Not from Jiangdong! ?

Among the courtiers, Li Jue drank with a calm expression, while Yu Ji was behind him, pouring him wine and vegetables from time to time.

As for Gai Nie, he was seated at the last seat.

Yu Ji whispered: "My lord, the assassins in Huaihe have some auras similar to those of the Xiang family. Maybe they did it. Do you want to tell the emperor?"

Li Jue said: "There is no evidence at all."

Yu Ji said: "Then we can also take this opportunity to weaken them."

Li Jue said with a chuckle, "Then they will also be on guard. If they keep their own place in the future, wouldn't it take a long time to find a reason to get rid of them?"

Then he said: "The Xiang family's move is actually showing weakness to the emperor, and their goal has been achieved."

He shook his head, his eyes full of disdain.

What Xiang Liang brought this time was definitely not the elite of the Xiang clan, they were all small characters, and he was just a big fish.

But he didn't expect that Xiang Liang would dare to tamper with the gift. The general on the sheepskin picture was not Wang Jian at all, but more like Xiang Yan.

From a long distance, the emperor didn't bother to look at it, so he didn't notice it.

However, Li Jue saw that the horse above was not a short-footed horse from Daqin, but a tall horse from Yanguo.

The second is that the general is very young, while Wang Jian is already very old.

Although with the help of Li Jue, Wang Jian stepped into the five-fold realm of real people without anyone knowing, and was able to live for a few more years.

However, he is still a bad old man.

Xiang Liang's move was done on purpose to disgust Ying Zheng, and he was sure that Ying Zheng would not look at the sheepskin picture carefully.

After they go back, they can boast that Daqin took their picture of General Xiang Yan's hundred battles.

This method of spiritual victory left Li Jue speechless.

But he didn't jump out to expose it, because the sheepskin drawing is very vague, so it can be denied!

The Xiang family was late, and Ying Zheng didn't touch them, let alone a sheepskin picture with a saying.

There's no need to put them on their guard.

Li Jue felt that if he wanted to destroy them, he had to drive them crazy.

The proud Xiang clan will definitely show their feet.

Next is the banquet.

Fu Su found Li Jue, and the two were about to have a drink, but Xiang Liang had already brought him a gift.

With a loud smile, he gave Fusu a military book, and then gave Li Jue a painting, which was a local landscape painting of Chu State.

It is also painted on the sheepskin map, which is beautiful.

Li Jue sneered, no matter if it was a military book or a landscape painting, its value was higher than the hundred battles given to the emperor.

result.

Xiang Liang did not send the emperor, but gave the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's new favorite minister, his heart can be punished!

Xiang Liang said: "My lord, Lord Li, I don't have any good things, just a book of war and a picture, please accept them."

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, the gentle and refined man was about to take the gift to thank him, and also wanted to return the gift.

Li Jue held his hand, pushed the two gifts back, and said, "Xiang Gong is joking, such a precious gift, only His Majesty the Emperor deserves it, neither of us deserves it."

Xiang Liang's face changed slightly.

Fusu also came to his senses, frowned, a little displeased with Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are joking, the ones given to His Majesty the Emperor are already the most precious, these two..."

Li Jue said calmly, "I really can't."

Fu Su also said aside: "Take it back."

Xiang Liang smiled awkwardly and was about to retreat.

Li Jue suddenly said: "Xiang Gong, although I can't accept your gift, it's okay to drink a glass of wine, eat a piece of meat, and chat together."

Xiang Liang was overjoyed, the two respected their status, if they could make friends, it would be of great use to their Xiang clan.

Although they cooperated with Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao and Li Jue did not deal with each other.

but.

The Xiang family doesn't care about that much.

Xiang Liang sat down quickly and offered a toast to the two, and he did it himself first.

Fu Su was a little puzzled as to why Li Jue kept Xiang Liang, but he understood what Ying Zheng was thinking, so he wouldn't show Xiang Liang any embarrassment.

Instead, maintain the proper attitude.

Li Jue suddenly said, "Xiang Gong, have you heard about the Huaihe incident?"

Xiang Liang didn't change his face, and said, "I heard."

Then he said angrily: "I really don't know who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the emperor. He deserves death."

Li Jue said: "Xiang Gong is right. These people deserve to die. But we have been investigating for more than a month, but we still haven't found the murderer. Xiang Gong is a local wealthy family. Why don't you help us investigate?"

Xiang Liang cupped his hands and said, "This old man is duty-bound."

Li Jue raised his glass and said, "Thank you very much."

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Xiang Liang said: "Master Li is young and promising, he is only in his early twenties, and he is already a great general, and he is really enviable!"

Li Jue smiled and said: "Xiang Gong was joking, I heard that there is a rare genius in the Xiang family named Xiang Yu, whose strength is capable of lifting mountains and surpassing the world. Compared with him, I'm really worthless!"

hiss.

Xiang Liang's expression changed.

Xiang Yu's identity was something they had always protected. Although they usually ruled over Jiangdong, they had already kept their mouths shut when the emperor made his southern tour.

No one will ever betray them.

Why, this man will know! ?

Moreover, everyone in the world knows that Xiang Yu's strength is infinite, but they don't know how strong it is, and Li Jue's words seem to have exhausted Xiang Yu's strength.

That is indeed a powerful force that surpasses the world, rare in the world, and absolutely invincible.

Anyway, Xiang Liang felt that if Xiang Yu took Xiang Liang's place in the past and commanded troops to kill the enemy, he would definitely make Daqin come and go.

How did this person know! ?

Fusu was also stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Master Dashu, how do you know that the Xiang clan has such capable people?"

Li Jue smiled and said, "I'm playing in Jiangdong today, so I heard it."

Xiang Liang's heart was serious, he had already issued a gag order, and the entire Jiangdong, from the high-ranking officials to the common people, would never dare to speak out about Xiang Yu.

How did he hear it! ?

Seeing his expression, Li Jue sneered in his heart, just to make you angry and infighting, so as to show your flaws.

Fusu was really interested. If the Xiang clan really has such a genius, he must take a look and give reasons, otherwise he must be on guard!

He said: "I didn't expect the Xiang family to have such a capable person. I don't know if I can meet them!?"

Li Jue cooperated and said, "That's definitely possible. The Xiang clan is not far away, and the banquet is over, why don't we take this opportunity and go together, maybe we can still have dinner with the Xiang clan!"
