Chapter 128: Dread
The Xiang family, as Ying Ziyi's instructions, set off to the old land of Chu.
As he walked along, Xiang Liang looked suspicious and sad, like the cold ice in the cold winter, even if he rode on a horse, he could not be melted.
Xiang Liang couldn't figure it out himself, but it didn't prevent him from asking others. You should know that it was not an exaggeration to say that Fan Zeng, who was riding on a horse by his side, was a rare wise man.
When Qin destroyed Chu, it was Master Fan who saw the defeat of Chu and advised his father Xiang Yan to retain the power of Chu so that he would not let the power of Chu be completely destroyed by Wang Jian in the final battle.
"You can't figure out why Young Master Xiong Xin didn't follow me to return to Chu?"
Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng, but before he could speak, he said it first.
Xiang Liang touched his head and smiled silly. If the terrain was not stable enough at this moment, he would have fallen like a bear.
"That's because Young Master Xiong Xin is becoming more and more like a king." Fan Zeng sighed, not knowing whether he was happy or sad at this moment.
"King?" Dahan brother Xiang Liang still didn't understand and asked tentatively.
"That's right, king. A peerless king who may be able to lead the revival of Chu State!" Speaking of this, Fan Zeng sighed unconsciously.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Xiang Liang was a little confused. Why did Mr. Xiong Xin revive the Chu State? This old man Fan sighed so much.
Fan Zeng looked back at Xiang Liang. There was indeed a smile from the heart on the other party's face. I wonder if he was stupid or straightforward. "Who is the strongest clan in Chu?"
"Of course it's our Xiang clan!" Xiang Liang proudly raised his thumb and said proudly.
"That's right, the Xiang clan is the strongest in Chu State." Fan Zengruo said meaningfully.
At this time, Xiang Shaoyu followed from behind, and his fat body was trembling immediately, but his bean-sized eyes squeezed into the fat body flashed with a shiny light, as if he understood something.
"The strongest clan in Chu State is not the royal family of Chu State, but the Xiang family. So how can this make Mr. Xiong Xin, a descendant of the royal family of Chu State, feel sorry for him!"
"Sir, is that your Highness is worried that we will rebel and hijack your son. The loyalty of our Xiang family can represent the sun and the moon." Xiang Liang said loudly, his voice like a loud bell, coming from the heart.
Fan Zeng nodded and said, "But why is it not the Xiang clan who saved Mr. Xiong Xin from the Qin army, but Wei Bao and other outsiders?"
"That's because I encountered obstacles from the Qin army when I was heading here, so I delayed for a day! Master Fan, aren't you the most clear about this?" Xiang Liang's big face was almost squeezed together and he defended loudly.
"Yes, but Young Master Xiong Xin would not think so. What he saw was that the Xiang clan who rescued him from the Qin prince was not the Xiang clan, but Wei Baotian Heng and other outsiders. The Xiang clan rushed over one day later. What would Your Highness think? In addition, the Xiang clan has always been feared by the royal family in Chu. In the past, King Fu Chu killed his brother with his brother, and his throne was not upright, and many people in the court were dissatisfied. But it was precisely because of Lord Xiang Yan's support that he held the throne. Later, the former king Xiong Qi ascended the throne of Chu from Changpingjun of Qin, and it was also the help of the Xiang clan. After experiencing all this, his Highness was naturally wary of the Xiang clan."
"But"
Xiang Liang had to argue, but Fan Zeng said in advance: "That's right, you want to say that Lord Xiang Yan helped Fu Chu to hold the throne for the stability of Chu State and not be taken by Qin State. Later, he helped Changping Jun ascend to the throne of King Chu, and also to unite the upper and lower parts of Chu State. The Xiang family is indeed loyal and never wanted to betray the Chu royal family. But don't forget the former Qin State Wu'an Jun!"
The sunset was setting, Fan Zeng let out a sigh and said, "What kind of martial arts did Bai Qi back then? He made great contributions to Qin when he attacked Zhao and attacked Chu. Later, he was executed by King Zhaoxiang of Qin? If Bai Qi really wanted to rebel, would he wait until then? For the king, it doesn't matter whether he has the heart to rebel, what is important is whether he has the strength to rebel. The current Xiang family is to Prince Xiong Xin, just like the Wu'an Jun of the Qin King back then!"
Xiang Liang listened, a cold air surged involuntarily. He was wrapped in a thick layer of sweater, but he still felt a little chilled.
"No, Your Highness will definitely not treat our Xiang clan like the King of Qin."
Fan Zeng glanced at Xiang Liang and said, "The current young master Xiong Xin is an unshakable banner for the State of Chu. Moreover, he is absolutely not in a hurry to stop there. What will happen to the Xiang clan in the future depends on Yu'er!"
"Shaoyu?" Xiang Liang looked at the little fat man, and the other party seemed a little surprised.
"No, nothing!" Fan Zeng said this, but he didn't say anything more. Fan Zeng knew that although Xiang Shaoyu was in a mess, he was not conspicuous, or in some places he was too conspicuous, but he had a dragon aura on his body, which was gradually growing.
If the dragon turns into a real dragon in the future, the two dragons in the Chu Kingdom will fight each other, and they will probably fall into chaos and cause endless disasters.
But Fan Zeng is not a Chu Chen, but an aide to the Xiang clan. He was kind to the Xiang clan, and he himself had a father-son relationship with Shao Yu. Therefore, the future of the Xiang clan is what he should consider. This is exactly why he sighed just now. The strong master is strong and the ministers will be stable. The weak masters will be strong, and the country may still be stable. However, the ministers are strong and have the power, but they are not weak. Then the future of the Xiang clan is really a bit dangerous!
At this moment, the little fat man said leisurely: "Brother is the eldest brother. Since I, Xiang Shaoyu, have recognized this eldest brother, I will not do anything to be sorry for my eldest brother in the future."
Fan Zeng glanced at Xiang Shaoyu, and the other party seemed to have understood what he meant. Fan Zeng said intimately that this child was indeed smart. If he had not met Ying Ziyi at the beginning, he might have been a heroic young man now.
"You are right. My Xiang clan is always loyal and righteous, and serves the king with his ministers. Only loyalty is his business. I believe that in the future, your highness will definitely treat my Xiang clan well." Xiang Shaoyu's answer gave Xiang Liang confidence. He looked at the sunset in the distance and said.
I hope so! Fan Zeng said in his heart.
If Xiong Xin was really Xiong Xin, Fan Zeng would naturally be wrong with this speculation. But even if Fan Zeng was so evil, he would not have thought that His Highness Xiong Xin would have been replaced by someone.
"How is it, Brother Liu?" In the distant forest, Ying Ziyi and Liu Ji sat by the fire. Ying Ziyi climbed on each other's shoulder and said.
"Your Highness, I admire you." Liu Ji said.
"Nothing." Ying Ziyi waved his hand indifferently and bragged: "I remember when my brother was awesome back then, you didn't see it. That's..."? Listening to Ying Ziyi's bragging, Liu Ji was stunned, and then said: "Your Highness, you might really be able to change this old world." Ying Ziyi didn't know where Liu Ji's sigh came from, but he didn't care. He picked up a jar of wine and said to Liu Ji: "Come on, good brother, just have a sip!"
Liu Ji refused everyone and said, "Come on, do it!"
"Junior brother, your injury has not healed yet. Didn't you say you can't drink anymore?" At this time, Wangyou and Wangqiao rushed back and saw Ying Ziyi's appearance and stopped him.
