869 Kneel down

It was already evening and the sun had set. This was the coolest leisure time in summer in Jiangnan.

But during this cool period, an extremely hot news spread from Wuhuyuan, and then spread throughout Wuzhong County like a hurricane.

Yesterday, Xiaobawang Xiang Ji got drunk at Wuhu Theater and teased the niece of the county magistrate Jiang. Therefore, Xiang had to go and apologize to Mr. Xu and the county magistrate from Xianyang. Tonight, he specially invited a banquet at Wuhu Restaurant to apologize again, but at the table, he almost fought tense because of disagreement. In the end, Mr. Xu and Xiaobawang fought against the winner. As a result, Xiang Ji lost to Mr. Xu and became drunk and unconscious. Tomorrow, Mr. Xiang will take the little king to Wuhu Garden to kowtow to Mr. Xu to admit defeat...

This sudden news instantly caused a huge ripple in the county town like a big stone thrown into a pond, and soon became a topic of conversation for everyone to cool off at night. Whether it is merchants or peddlers, they all began to talk about this sudden and explosive topic with relish.

The gentry and officials who were good friends with the Xiang family were all at a loss, but the common people were eager to celebrate with a warm gong and drum.

The little bully was rampant in Wuzhong for several years. Today, he finally met his opponent, Mr. Xu, from Xianyang. He teased someone else's fiancée and wanted to force others to kneel down. Unexpectedly, he fell into it. For ordinary people who have been bullied by the little bully, this is simply a joyful incident.

The next morning, it was just dawn, and Chen Xu, who drank nearly ten bottles of wine at night, was asleep soundly, but was awakened early by the excitement and noise from outside.

Chen Xu sat up with a pale face and called the hotel maid and asked sleepyly: "What happened outside?"

The maid helped Chen Xu dress with a full of admiration and said, "Mr. Xu beat Xiaobawang last night when he fought for wine. Many people came outside to see Xiaobawang kowtow and admit defeat!"

Chen Xu looked speechlessly at the white sky outside the window, and couldn't help but twitch for a few times and said, "Is this little bully a bad reputation in Wuzhong?"

"I dare not say it!" The maid's face changed into a terror in an instant.

"Why don't you dare to say it? Don't worry, I won't spread it. Is he bullying civilians and women often?"

The maid lowered her head and said, then looked outside the door and found that there was no one else. Then she said carefully: "Young master doesn't know that this little bully has a lot of idle young men. She causes trouble in Wuzhong every day and has injured many people. Although she rarely hears of bullying women, almost everyone is afraid of him..."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to him kowtowing me. I wonder if he will still have the face to continue to be domineering on the streets in the future!" Chen Xu smiled and put on his clothes quickly, then washed and cleaned up.

"Young Master, be careful, Xiang is very powerful in Wuzhong!" The maid did not forget to remind him when she ran around to serve tea and water.

"Don't worry, he dare not treat me any more. This is the world of Emperor Qin, not the world of his Xiang family!" Chen Xu finished washing and packing up. At this time, Jiang Chuxing, Xiao He and Liu Bang and others also got up one after another to greet me, and then went to the restaurant to have breakfast together.

At the time of the year, it was already dawn, and Chen Xu and others finished breakfast, tea and chatted in the restaurant. The Wuhu Garden was crowded with people inside and outside, and at least tens of thousands of people gathered near Wuhu Garden to exchange and wait. Everyone wanted to see the grand occasion of the little overlord who usually traveled around Wuzhong kowtowed to Mr. Xu from Xianyang to admit defeat.

After a night, the causes and consequences and processes of last night's wine fight have already been circulated into dozens of versions. The most widely circulated one has been rendered as the most talked about by people. Both of them quarreled in order to win the little lady of Jiang's family, so there is a bet on the winning or losing of the wine fight.

But the ending is that Xiao Ba Wang lost. I heard that the person who was drunk directly at the table was carried out of the hotel.

If the little overlord kowtowed to Mr. Xu in public today, he would be afraid that he would never be able to raise his head in Wuzhong from now on.

People in this era admire heroes the most.

You can be domineering, you can bully men and women, you can die, but you can't be cowardly.

Li Si and Qinghe Hou failed when they saw it. Now they have a great reputation among the people. They are directly suppressed by Qinghe Hou and have no chance to breathe.

Now the little overlord who is rampant in Wuzhong failed to play a bet with Mr. Xu. If he kowtowed, the reputation of the Xiang clan would be completely discredited in Jiangdong and would no longer be as arrogant and domineering as before. Moreover, this practice will not only be ridiculed by the people of the world, but will also become a scar for the people of Chu. Once exposed, it will make the heart bleeding.

It would be fine if you can't beat the Qin people in a fight, but you can't even win if you drink.

This will become an eternal shame and humiliation for the people of Chu.

If this matter is written into a manuscript and published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, the Chu people represented by Xiang will become a joke for the people across the country.

This is not impossible, because people everywhere are proud to contribute to newspapers. There are also many journalists in the surrounding areas of Jiangnan. There are also many journalists in Wuzhong. Some people have received thousands of rewards for their successful submissions. They were redeemed at Huaxia Money House through redemption tickets sent by postmen. Every person who successfully contributed to the public will be personally received and praised by county magistrate Jiang Heng, and will be enthusiastically sought after by famous scholars in Wuzhong. There are even countless merchants and gentry who come to visit and please with gifts. They will not only double their value, but also have a lot of face.

"Here you come, the Xiang family is here..."

As countless shouts came from outside Wuhu Garden, the crowd soon became violently turbulent, and more than ten horses came through the crowd. The leader was Xiang Liang, the head of the Xiang family. In addition to Xiang Bo, there were several men next to him. They were all relatives of the Xiang clan, because they all looked at least three-point similar, and they all had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and burly figures.

Today, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo looked gloomy, which was completely different from the arrogant momentum he saw in the theater the night before yesterday.

Among the group of people, Xiang Yu rode on the horse with a pale face and looked very dazed.

Behind the Xiang clan, there were a large group of young men with short hair, tattoos, and bare chests and showing their arms. They should be the young and dandy who were usually entangled with Xiang Yu, but now they all looked depressed and depressed, which was very different from the way they saw on the street that day, holding swords, guns, sticks and showing off their power.

Chen Xu surrounded Jiang Chuxing, Xiao He and Zhou Bo and others and came to the yard. All the people gathered scattered and exposed an open space of dozens of feet in radius.

A group of Xiang clan members rode down and watched Chen Xu slowly walk, their faces turned as if they were ashen, and many even pressed the hilt of their swords around their waists.

Zhou Bojiang, Chuxing, Xiao He and others, and the group of guards following each other nervously held the hilt of the sword and glared at Xiang. As the two sides confronted each other, the whole scene instantly solidified, as if a cold wind blew by. The onlookers couldn't help but tremble and retreated again, fearing that the fighting between the two sides would cause Yuchi to suffer the disaster.

"Haha, Xiang's family can't afford to lose?" Chen Xu stood with his hands behind his back.

"You..." Xiang Liang's face shook a few times, and he waved his hand and roared off the horse. More than ten people jumped off the horse's back and pulled down Xiang Yu, who was sitting on the horse's back, in a daze.

Xiang Liang pushed Xiang Yu to Chen Xu, staring at Chen Xu like a knife, and said with a cold voice: "I am willing to accept the loss of the bet. Xiang will not break his promise. Jier, kowtow to Mr. Xu to admit defeat, and then go back to the ancestral temple to commit suicide in front of the ancestors of Xiang's family!"

"Wow~~" The onlookers exclaimed in an instant, and the crowd became violently commotion and hustle and bustle.

"I...I..." Xiang Yu looked at Chen Xu with a gray face, but his eyes were not at all focused. At this moment, his mind was completely blank.

"Ji'er, a real man can die but not be humiliated. He kowtowed and admitted defeat. He suffered this great humiliation. His Xiang family style was defeated by Wang Jian that day, and he committed suicide in the ancestral temple to apologize. Today, you are suffering this humiliation, but it is your own fault. Only death can wash away this humiliation. When will you not kneel down?" Xiang Liangxu roared with anger and twisted face.

The onlookers were silent, only Xiang Liang's roar echoed over the Wuhu Garden.

Xiang Yu was completely disappointed at this time, and his body trembled slightly for a few times but still had no courage to kneel down.

"Kneel down~"

Someone suddenly shouted at the gate of Wuhuyuan. The sound was like a call to fire the gun. Some of the onlookers immediately waved their fists and shouted to kneel down. The sounds went from small to large, from weak to strong, and finally gathered into a uniform roar.

"Kneel down~Kneel down~Kneel down~~"

Amid the deafening roar, Xiang Yu's body trembled violently. The more than ten Xiang family members who came to Xiang Liang and others were all pale and their cheeks were twisted and deformed.

"Xiang Ji, when will you wait for the opportunity to kneel down and kowtow to apologize?" Qu Hai, who had been standing behind Chen Xu, suddenly stood up and yelled.

Almost everyone in Wuhu Garden looked at Qu Hai at the same time, and their faces changed instantly. I wonder why this giant businessman who opened Wuhu Garden suddenly turned against him to help Mr. Xu, an outsider.

At present, the common people gather outside the Five Lakes Garden, many of them must have been bullied by Xiang Yu and other gangsters. Therefore, they are most eager to see the arrogant and domineering little bully kowtow and apologize in a dusty manner. As long as this head is knocked down, the little bully will never have the face to sway on the streets again.

But almost all the well-known figures gathered in Wuhu Garden, most of them were powerful celebrities who were incompatible with the old Chu forces. Even if these people were not involved with the Xiang family on weekdays, they were still very polite to the Xiang family on the surface. Moreover, this was the former Chu State, and most of the people here were the people of the old Chu State. It was only seven or eight years since the Great Chu State destroyed the country, and the deep hatred of the destruction of the country was not forgotten. Chen Xu came from Xianyang, representing the nobles of the Qin State and the enemy who destroyed the country.
