Chapter 5: Zhang Liang’s birth

Donghai County, Xiapi City.

At this time, the sky was drizzling, and the sky was gloomy. Although it was just evening on the street, there were no more pedestrians. However, the big and small taverns in Xia Pi City were doing a prosperous business and worked hard all day, while people with some spare money were spending time in the tavern!

This is a tavern called "Chu Yun". It is made of wood. The exterior is painted pink, with carved beams and painted roofs. It is exquisite and exquisite. It is a very elegant place in Xia Pi City.

At this time, the northwest corner of the second floor of Chuyun Tavern was empty, with only a very beautiful and elegant young man sitting, with his slender body leaning on the railing, his eyes turned to the endless rain curtain outside the window, his face a little impatient, obviously waiting for someone.

This person is Zhang Liang, who has been missing for a long time. Since he parted with Fusu many years ago, Zhang Liang has lived in seclusion in Xiapi and escaped arrest. It has been seven or eight years in a flash. These seven or eight years have changed a lot for Zhang Liang: five years ago, Zhang Liang met a generation of Qiyin "Huangshi Gong" and was taught the strange book "Taigong Military Art". After studying it carefully, his knowledge has made great progress, and he has long been the same as the former Wu Xia Ameng!

Just as Zhang Liang was impatient, he suddenly smiled because the person he was waiting for came. At the sound of the stairs, a strong man with a tall and broad body, big arms and round waist appeared on the second floor, holding an umbrella in his right hand, and his whole body was a little wet by the rain!

"Brother Xiang, I'm here!" Zhang Liang hurriedly greeted!

Then he saw the big man with a curly mane on his face and walked towards Zhang Liang with a smile, bowed and said, "My brother, forgive me, forgive me, I'm late for my brother!"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's fine. Just three glasses of wine!" The big man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll accept the punishment for you!" As he said that, the big man put down his umbrella and sat opposite Zhang Liang, without refusing, pouring himself and drinking three glasses in a row, which really showed his generous style.

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Brother Xiang is here late today. Have you been scolded by his sister-in-law again?" The man said with a hint: "Haha, my brother is such an elf. I can't hide the ugly things from you for your brother. It's like, on a rainy day, she wants me to accompany her at home, but you sent a child to invite me to drink. It really makes me feel embarrassed! But are you and my brother? Even if you are scolded, I will come to the ground!"

Zhang Liang was immediately happy: "Brother and sister-in-law are so close to each other, respect each other as guests. It's really rare for more than ten years!" The man also smiled satisfied and said: "Manyu and I have gone through all kinds of hardships and finally got together. It's very difficult. We all cherish the current stable life and are all content!"

Zhang Liang whispered in a low voice: "It was nothing wrong for you to think like this before, but now you still think like this, I'm afraid you can't help it!" The big man's eyes flashed with a gleam in his eyes: "What is the meaning of a virtuous brother..."

Zhang Liang whispered: "Now that the First Emperor is dead, I just told the world that the world is about to be in chaos. With Brother Xiang, do you really need to live in the mountains and forests? I'm afraid that even if you think so, you will be unable to help you."

The man sighed a little when he heard this and said softly: "Oh, since my father Xiang Yan died in Changping in battle, and after the fall of Chu State, my ambition has long been almost wiped out!"

It turned out that the great man named Xiang was actually Xiang Bo, the son of Xiang Yan, the former general of Chu State. Xiang Yan had three sons: the eldest son Xiang Bo, the second son Xiang Zhong, and the third son Xiang Liang.

Among Xiang Yan's three sons: the second son Xiang Zhong is brave and good at fighting, but he died in the war in his early years, leaving behind his son Xiang Yu. The third son Xiang Liang is both civil and military, and is the most outstanding figure among Xiang Yan's three sons, and has always been by Xiang Yan. However, Xiang Bo is a rough and free person, and likes to travel around the world the most, so he stays away all year round and does not return home.

Later, when Xiang Bo was wandering outside, he met a famous local prostitute in Xia Pi, Man Yu. They were both talented and beautiful. When they saw their loyalty, they were immediately inseparable and hard to part with them. Not long after, Xiang Bo redeemed Man Yu and went to Xinying to ask Xiang Yan to agree to his marriage with Mosun. Unfortunately, Xiang Yan was very arrogant and could agree to Xiang Bo's marriage with a prostitute, so he strongly opposed it.

Xiang Bo's love for Man Yu is as deep as the sea. Although he saw his father strongly oppose it, he is determined and will not marry Man Yu. The father and son suddenly fell in love. Although Xiang Bo was very sad, he immediately returned to Xia Pi without hesitation, married Man Yu and began a seclusion life.

When the Chu State was smoke, Xiang Bo was concerned about Man Yu's identity and did not return to his father to help. However, after the news of Xiang Yan's death in battle came, Xiang Bo immediately fell seriously ill and gradually recovered after more than three months. Since then, Xiang Bo has been content with seclusion and never paid attention to external affairs. In Xia Pi, he only had a few friends such as Zhang Liang whom he met in his early years. Xiang Bo, Zhang Liang and others are almost thorns in the Qin State's side, so they usually act low-key, so that they can live in seclusion quietly for so many years in Xia Pi City.

Seeing that Xiang Bo was lonely, Zhang Liang shook his head, sighed, and whispered: "Your third brother Xiang Liang and nephew Xiang Yu have not been in the war. Now they must be hiding in the countryside. With their temperament, they may soon rebel against Qin. You and General Xiang Yan are separated from Mrs. Man Yu's sister-in-law, and it is difficult to meet, but can you bear to watch your brother and nephew fight alone? So, I advise you to prepare early so as not to be caught off guard! I should also prepare for the mountain, and this time I will come to say goodbye to you!"

Xiang Bo was surprised when he heard this and said, "Why, you are leaving, where are you going?"

Zhang Liang stretched out his finger and shrewd him, looking around: There were not many drinkers on the floor, only 57, all far away from Zhang Liang, and they were talking loudly, but no one paid attention to this place. Then he felt relieved and smiled and said, "I'll go to Yingcheng and wait for one person!"

Xiang Bo was a little puzzled: "Yingcheng? My brother has always said that he wanted to join the wise ruler to safeguard the world. Which hero in Yingcheng deserves the attention of such a talented person?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "It's not from Yingcheng, but Wu'an Jun Fusu. He will return to the Central Plains sooner or later. I'm waiting for him in Yingcheng. I don't want to go to the southern desert to find him!"

Xiang Bo was stunned and almost fell down. After a while, he said in surprise: "Brother, you heard it right, you are going to join Wu'an Jun Fusu!? Haven't you always vowed to overthrow Qin and restore Han!?"

Zhang Liang sighed softly when he heard this, "This is the ignorant words of my former brother. I have long since I gave the title of "Taigong War Art", I have understood many truths: Han has really finished his country's destiny and no one can turn the world back, so I went against the sky and harmed others in vain, so I have given up the idea of ​​restoring the country! The Qin people unify the world really conformed to historical necessity and are of great benefit to the development of the world. Therefore, I have given up the narrow concept of national hatred and family hatred, and instead violated the protection of unity with all my might!

Now that the First Emperor has passed away, the treacherous party is in power, the world is in chaos, and a hero is needed to redefine the world. Wu'an Jun Fusu Shenwu Mingzhe, who loves the people and has outstanding prestige in the court and the country, is the best candidate, so I am determined to join him and help him redefine the world!"

Xiang Bo smiled and said, "I don't know if my brother can do it. If I were Zhao Gao, I would definitely find a way to get rid of Fusu first, such as getting a fake edict or something! Your hero is in danger now!"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "If he is so unbearable, of course I can only vote for another leader! In fact, Wu'an Jun's ability is far beyond your imagination. I didn't tell you something back then, and now I tell you, don't be surprised: In fact, after the assassination in Bolangsha that year, although I had a very careful plan, I still did not escape. Instead, I was taken by Wu'an Jun. But Wu'an Jun not only let me go, but also clearly knew that I would come to Xia Pi to find my brother, and even before leaving, I asked me to walk around the bridge more often in Xia Pi. You know, I met my master "Huang Shi Gong" next to the stone bridge in the north of the city. This made Zhang very strange: Could it be that Wu'an Jun can be counted? Or was it all he arranged!? Although I can't figure it out, I am really convinced by his younger brother, so as long as Wu An Jun is alive, I will definitely go and vote for him first!"

Xiang Bo was stunned for a while when he heard this. Only the Xiang family and a few friends knew about his seclusion here. Unexpectedly, he had been discovered by Fusu. He couldn't help but be stunned and said, "I am also a criminal in Qin. Since he, Wu'an Jun, knows, why didn't he arrest me!"

Zhang Liang waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "How could I know, I still haven't figured out why he let me go again when I was caught by him! However, when he let me go, he once said that I would take the initiative to look for him again, but I didn't expect that now the words come true, and I really waited for him!"

Xiang Bo heard this and said a chill came out of his back and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Wu'an Jun can not only be able to stabilize the country through literature, but also to maintain the country through martial arts. He also has such a great skill in identifying people and using people! I am really a little worried about my third brother and nephew now!"

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "I invited my brother to come today to give me the opportunity to persuade Ling and nephew Ling in the future and give up. The State of Chu will not be restored. With Fusu here, the Qin Dynasty will not perish! I hope that when you and my brother meet again tomorrow, it is not on the battlefield!"

Xiang Bo smiled bitterly and said, "The world is impermanent, who knows? I hope it won't be like this! Come and drink, no matter what happens in the future, we brothers are about to part. We will not return until we are drunk today!"

Zhang Liang threw his worries behind his head and smiled generously: "Okay, happy, don't go back if you don't get drunk!"

The two immediately raised their glasses and drank so hard that they kept getting drunk, so they helped each other and left home!

The next morning, the sky was clearing, Zhang Liang came to Xiang Bo's house, bid farewell to Xiang Bo and his sister-in-law Manyu, and took Donghai Lix and several family members to Yingcheng, waiting for Fusu's arrival!
