Chapter 882: The Calamity of Extermination (Repair)
"Where are you going to Mr. Xu and others?"
Three days later, Chen Xu's return team passed through Tan County and then left Donghai County and entered Langya County. When he arrived here, Zhong Limei, who followed Chen Xu and others, couldn't figure out what Chen Xu and others were going next. He saw that Chen Xu's team did not go to the east road to Qufu, but turned east along the coast, so he gathered on the roadside and didn't know what to do.
Seeing Chen Xu and others walking further and further away, Zhong Limei thought for a long time and said, "You can continue to follow, but remember not to show off your strength. You must rush to Guanzhong in advance to make arrangements. When Mr. Xu arrives in Luoyang, you can go to Hangu Pass to find me in advance!"
"Yes!" After all the men bowed, they rode their horses to continue to follow Chen Xu, while Zhong Limei turned his head and went his separate ways, whipping the horses to the northwest.
Shortly after Zhonglimei and others separated, a girl wearing a straw hat and a burly boy also appeared at the intersection on a horse.
The burly boy is Xiang Yu, while the girl is Xiang Jing.
The girl returned to her hometown from Wuzhong and invited her cousin Xiang Yu. However, before she arrived at the next court, the girl took the excuse to watch the First Emperor parade. She pulled Xiang Yu straight to Donghai County on the way, and then rushed to the scene. Finally, she caught up with Chen Xu and his party in Sheyang County. However, Xiang Yu was confused all the way.
The girl strangled the horse and looked at the direction of Zhonglimei's departure. A hint of uneasiness and uneasiness appeared on her handsome and pretty face.
"Er Madam, what are you planning to pull me to chase Mr. Xu all the way?"
When he arrived here, Xiang Yu finally couldn't help it because he discovered that his cousin's purpose was not the emperor, but Mr. Xu.
"Brother, do you know who this Young Master Xu is?"
Hearing Xiang Yu's words, the girl turned her head and looked at Xiang Yu seriously.
Xiang Yu couldn't help but twitch and shook his head: "Young Master Xu heard that this is the son of a certain marquis in the court. Did you follow your brother all the way to beat him up and avenge your brother?"
"Avenge..." The girl was stunned for a moment and shook her head slightly, "Brother, do you know why Uncle Zhongli followed Mr. Xu, but now he went his separate ways to the northwest alone?"
"Er Niang, you should just say something. You know that your brother doesn't like this kind of twists and turns!" Xiang Yu smiled bitterly.
In Wuzhong, a bet with Mr. Xu, it can be said that the blow to Xiang Yu was unprecedented. Although Mr. Xu, who slapped him with a dusty face, was full of resentment and shame, he did not want to conflict again, because Mr. Xu's identity is not something that the Xiang family can resist. Not to mention that his origin is very mysterious, the Xiang family could not find any information at all. Jiang Heng, the governor of Wuzhong County, alone, could not compete with Mr. Xiang. Moreover, Gao Yao, the son of the Minzhong County Magistrate, also seemed to be very familiar with Mr. Xu, which made Xiang Yu even more entangled. He could only temporarily suppress the anger of being humiliated by Chen Xu, and did not want to have any connection with Chen Xu.
"There is one thing that may be related to the life and death of my Xiang family, and this thing is related to a major minister in the court. He is well-known all over the world. Once this happens, my Xiang family may suffer a catastrophe in an instant. I don't know what to do, so I specially invited my brother to come this time!" The girl said after hesitating for a long time.
Xiang Yu's face became even more depressed. He turned his head to look at the girl and said, "Don't exaggerate it. My Xiang family is now in Wuzhong. How can there be a catastrophe? You should tell me the reason for chasing Mr. Xu, otherwise my brother would be too lazy to accompany you to make trouble and return to the next couple. This time he came out for too long. If the news comes back to the second and third uncles, I will be scolded again!"
"Brother, I just ask you, if the uncles in the clan want to do something big, and I, Xiang, have no hope of winning in this matter. Once it fails, it will be a situation of extermination. How should you do it?" The girl still did not answer Xiang Yu's words positively.
Xiang Yu's face gradually became serious, his thick eyebrows slowly frowned into a straight line. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded seriously and said, "If this is true, my brother will definitely find a way to dissuade him..."
"No, you can't dissuade me!" The girl pointed at the direction of Zhong Limei's departure with a horse whip. "Uncle Zhongli has gone, this matter has begun. The disaster of my Xiang family's extermination is imminent..."
"Second sister, don't go around the corner, just say it!"
Xiang Yu felt like he was messy in his heart by this cousin who was usually very smart. He followed Mr. Xu all the way, so he naturally knew that Zhonglimei was following Mr. Xu and his party, but he didn't know the reason. Moreover, he didn't want to know, because Zhonglimei was not a member of the Xiang clan, but he had close contacts with the Xiang clan on weekdays. There were countless gentry and gentry in the world who had close contacts with the Xiang clan. Zhonglimei was just one of them. He didn't care at all. He liked to play with a group of teenagers in Wuzhong. He liked to avoid the lively situation of people who saw Wuzhong when they saw him.
Xiang's family will suffer a disaster of extermination, which is impossible for a young man like him to deceive.
Xiang's family was deeply rooted in Chu, and even the county magistrate had no choice but to do anything. A playboy from Xianyang who had no power and no power was even more likely to do anything to Xiang's family. Moreover, the gambling incident was over. Although he was covered in dust, Mr. Xu did not make any aggressive moves. Even if Mr. Xu was able to make a fortune in Xianyang, he would never be able to reach Wuzhong to threaten Xiang's family.
"Brother, what do you think Mr. Xu are like?" The girl still talked about him.
"Young Master Xu..." Xiang Yu's face twitched for a moment, shook his head in a tangled mood, and without answering, he pulled the reins and turned his head and said, "Second sister, let's go back to me. Mr. Xu, I don't want to have any connection or entanglement with him anymore. When I have the chance next time, I will naturally bet with him again, and I will definitely beat him..."
"I'm afraid my brother won't have a chance next time!" The girl shook her head slightly with confused eyes, "Next time I see Mr. Xu, it's when my Xiang family destroyed the clan. You will never see him again in your life..."
"Second sister, what do you want to say?" Xiang Yu couldn't help but roar.
"Brother, Uncle Zhongli followed Mr. Xu all the way, just to assassinate him in Guanzhong..."
"What?" Xiang Yu was stunned, then anxiously grabbed the girl's arm, "Where did this news come from?"
"I accidentally heard the conversation between my father and Uncle Zhongli. Uncle Zhongli went to Guanzhong to find the Ji brothers to intercept and kill Mr. Xu halfway!"
The girl finally said what she thought, mainly because this matter was beyond her control, and she could not guarantee that she could stop this matter even if Xiang Yu was brought up. If Mr. Xu was just the son of an ordinary marquis, this matter would be fine, but the three words "Qinghe marquis were like a mountain of thousands of marquis, which made her breathless.
"No wonder you mentioned the Ji brothers with a ugly face last time. It turned out that this is the matter. What does Mr. Xu have to do with Xiang's death? He is just like me, he must be a villain in the eyes of the people of Xianyang. It's better if he dies. The brother's humiliation is over. It's just that the third uncle is just a little bit of a big deal. How can he use a knives to kill a chicken? Just a mere Young Master Xu is worth worrying about Uncle Zhongli and the Ji brothers!"
Xiang Yu shook his head and let go of his hand, looked at Chen Xu's direction of leaving with a little pity and said, "Since it was arranged by the third uncle, don't make any troubles in this matter, go back with me quickly!"
"Brother, you really don't know who this Young Master Xu is?" The girl was anxious and grabbed Xiang Yu's arm tightly and said with a pale face.
"Brother doesn't want to know who he is. He humiliated me, Xiang, so he is worthy of being pitiful!" Xiang Yu shook his head and gently knocked on the stirrup to leave.
"Brother~~" the girl's emotions suddenly lost control, "Then Mr. Xu may be the famous Marquis of Qinghe. If you and I don't care, the Xiang family will inevitably suffer the disaster of extermination..."
"What?" Xiang Yu's body shook violently, and the whip in his hand fell to the ground in fear.
"You...where did this news come from?" Xiang Yu jumped off the horse and grabbed the girl's reins and looked frightened, and his face instantly turned pale and bloodless.
"This is what I heard Dad and Uncle Zhongli say!" The girl bit her lips tightly and her delicate body trembled slightly.
This incident was in her heart for half a month, but she still frightened her when she said it.
"Why... why is this happening? How could Mr. Xu be the Marquis of Qinghe?" Xiang Yu was completely confused, and his hands holding the reins were trembling slightly. This news was completely like a thunderclap for him, trembling with his soul.
"Brother, the Marquis of Qinghe is not only the Marquis of Qin, but also the disciple of the Immortal Family. It is said that he has the unpredictable ability of gods and ghosts, and also has the protection of Taiyi Divine Thunder. My father and Uncle Zhongli discussed that assassinating him in Guanzhong will definitely not succeed. As long as the matter is exposed, it will inevitably cause a disaster for the Xiang family to destroy the clan. I... I don't know what to do, and I dare not tell others. I can only bring you to discuss. If we don't care and let the Ji brothers intercept and kill the Marquis of Qinghe, the consequences of Xiang family will definitely not be able to bear..."
The girl's delicate body trembled violently, and tears rolled down her eyes as she spoke, "Now the world is not the time of the dispute between the seven countries. When the Great Chu destroyed the country, you and I are still young and ignorant. But now you and I have heard of what uncles in the clan secretly do. They are determined to destroy Qin and Chu, but the dangers are extremely unpredictable. The emperor has Wang Jian and his son, Meng Tian, Li Sifeng Quji, hundreds of thousands of troops, inexhaustible food, grass and weapons, and even the protection of Qinghe Hou. What do we have in Xiang? There is nothing at the moment, and there are some gentry and ranger who have no foundation, a group of idle gangsters. What do we fight with the emperor? And we have to stab the emperor.
Killing the Queen of Qinghe to provoke Taiyi Immortal Lord. My Chu people have always respected Taiyi. Qinghe Marquis was originally a member of Chu. Even people from all over the Wuzhong respected Qinghe Marquis. Once my Xiang family secretly led the assassination of Qinghe Marquis was exposed, who would dare to have contact and involve me Xiang family... I don't want to see Xiang family being taken into the abyss by the uncles in the clan. At present... there is no chance to restore the country, nor any strength or foundation... Brother, you are the eldest son of the Xiang family, and you will be the head of my Xiang family in the future. If you ignore this matter, the Xiang family will be destroyed in your hands. You have the heart to see the uncles, uncles, brothers and sisters in the clan die like this without a place to bury..."
Under the stimulation of the girl's crying, Xiang Yu's body trembled violently.
"Then... then should I... what should I do?" Xiang Yu was already confused and looked at the girl with a trembling mouth.
"We need to find a way to prevent this from happening. Qinghe Hou must not cause any damage. I brought my brother to come here just to get your help!"
The girl said what she kept in her heart, and her mood seemed to calm down a lot. She wiped away her tears and looked at Xiang Yu and said.
"Stop, how to stop..." Xiang Yu's mind went blank.
"If you go after Uncle Zhongli, you must find a way to stop him from finding the Ji brothers. I will chase Mr. Xu to find out his true identity. If he is really the Marquis of Qinghe, I will tell him about this and let him be careful when he returns to Xianyang..."
"good!"
Xiang Yu didn't like to use his brains very much. He usually sings and sticks to be arrogant and domineering in Wuzhong to bully civilians, but it doesn't mean he is stupid.
Once the assassination of the Qinghe Hou happened, the consequences of the world would inevitably be shocking. No matter how powerful the Ji family was, it would be as vulnerable as paper in front of the emperor's army. Once the Ji brothers were captured, Zhonglimei would inevitably be involved. Zhonglimei was closely related to the Xiang family. No matter how deep the Xiang family was hidden, they would definitely not escape. Moreover, Qinghe Hou had just had a fight with the Xiang family in Wuzhong, and was assassinated on the way back. If someone had investigated, he would know that whether Xiang family was involved or not, he would be wanted by the emperor, and then there would be no place for Xiang family to stand in the whole world.
