Chapter 12 The Emotional World
Wang Zhu suddenly remembered the plot of "Lin Chong's joining the gang" in "Water Margin". He wanted Ying Bu to give a "vote letter". The so-called "vote letter" is a meeting ceremony. He asked Ying Bu and Chen Feng to quickly lead troops to attack Xingyang.
The guards of Xingyang were Tu Gangqiu and Xiang Sheng. Xiang Sheng was just a man of cruelty and unkindness, and he loved to take advantage of others. Tu Gangqiu was not a good-looking person. He was a veteran. He was around fifty years old and had followed Xiang Yan. After Xiang Yan's army was defeated by Wang Jian on the bank of the Yangtze River, he had been wandering outside in anonymous and living a day without a meal. However, he never forgot his belief in taking revenge and reviving the country. At first, Xiang Liang recruited many desperate heroes of Chu in Wujun, preparing to restore the country and fight against Qin.
Gangqiu found the descendants of famous Chu generals such as Xiang Liang and Huan Chu, and actively prepared to sell their lives for Chu State at any time. {Huan Chu's father was Huan Shanmin, the general of Chu State, and the deputy general of Xiang Yan.} When Xiang Liang began to raise an army, he led Wujun, Xutai and other places. Tu Gangqiu was the first to be brave and fearless of death and made countless great contributions. He was named Meilihou by Xiang Yu. He was highly prestige in the Chu army, and was not easy to deal with. He was not only loyal but also very strategic, but also had first-class martial arts.
Ying Bu thought it would not be easy to defeat Tu Gangqiu quickly, but once it was delayed for ten days and half a month, Xiang Yu's brigade of reinforcements arrived, and there was no chance of winning. After thinking about it, he had no idea, so he left the mansion and walked on the road. Suddenly he remembered that the King of Qin said that Yu Ji also lived here, so he walked straight along the twisted veranda of his husband and gravel path. While he was thinking about the palace maids asking for advice, he wanted to go to see Empress Yu Ji.
When he arrived at Yu Ji's door, he saw Lu Matong first before he entered. Four or five steps away, Ying Bu shouted in surprise, "Ma Tong, why are you here?" Lu Matong had known that Ying Bu was here for a long time, but the relationship between the two was very average before, and he knew that Ying Bu was arrogant, so he did not go to pay a visit. He knew that Ying Bu was like an eagle with broken wings at this time, it was no longer as majestic as a pheasant.
Lu Matong heard Yingbu's greeting and felt a little joyful of meeting an old friend in a foreign land. He was also excited for a while and quickly met him: "King of Jiujiang, you are here too." Yingbu seemed to be a child who saw his relatives, and hugged Lu Matong's arm and said tremblingly, "Ma Tong, I really didn't expect that I could meet you here, I thought you--" Lu Matong sighed, "It's hard to say in one word. I heard that, you, King, you---"
Ying Bu waved his hand and said, "I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore, my family is destroyed, my whole family is killed, and there is no one left. The wife is dead, the child is dead, and my parents are dead. Now I have no relatives, and I have no relatives." Lu Matong punched the wall behind him. "Xiang Yu-How did he become like this." Ying Bu knew that Lu Matong and Xiang Yu were friends who had grown up in open crotch pants since childhood, so he couldn't help but sigh, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What do you want me to say, it's simply a beast. Even Yafu--"
Lu Matong didn't think Xiang Yu was a beast. His understanding of Xiang Yu was no less than that of Yu Ji. Xiang Yu was not a beast. He was just a fool with feelings better than reason.
Yu Ji was already crying at this time. She thought of her own experience. Wasn’t he also ruthless and unrighteous to me, and he didn’t even think about his past love?
Ying Bu’s love is hard to control. Yu Ji, who is as pure as water, cleansed his anger and ordinary heart. He said sadly and angryly, "What a kind of person Empress is. Like a fairy. Why bother to keep his feelings for such a ruthless and unintentional guy? I think the King of Qin is very wise and has a good appearance, but is much better than him. Besides, he is also infatuated with Empress."
Yu Ji took a step back in surprise and said timidly and sadly, "Mr. Dangyang, are you here to be a lobbyist for him? I am pregnant with his child, does he still not trust me?"
Ying Bu was shocked to find that he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained, "No, I just felt it. Queen, don't think too much. I can see that Queen's thoughts are so heavy. This is not good. The people of Chu State still have a group of soldiers, such as Zhonglimei and Ji Bu, who are still thinking about it and waiting for the Queen."
Yu Ji burst into tears and almost fainted.
Lu Matong coughed twice, "Jiujiang King, you, you are talking too much. The Empress is here to meet Xiang Yu and him this time."
Yu Ji's heart was pricked, thinking, I'm here to make a break with him, I can't forget him at all. If I want to see him, the longing that was full of tangled up my soul all day long, and I'm almost unable to survive. Xiang Lang, Xiang Lang, can you and I have a break with you? If I go back with you, can you still accept me? What should he do? He is the King of Qin, and the King of Qin is also good to me. What do I do to him and treat him? I'm looking forward to him coming just now. Every time he comes over, I'm inexplicably happy. No, he is a devil, I will drive him out of my heart, Xiang Lang, Xiang Lang—
Seeing that Yu Ji was so confused that he didn't know what to think, Lu Matong and Ying Bu were both sad and scared, and even more unaware of how to comfort him. The three of them suddenly froze there, and Zihuan and Yulang came to rescue him in time. "Empress, you are crazy, wake up quickly, there are still customers here. Dangyang Jun, you don't know that the Empress seems to have a strange disease. Sometimes she talks to herself, sometimes she talks in her sleep, either talking to King Chu or calling the King of Qin's name. When she sees King of Qin, sometimes her eyes are busy and warm, sometimes she is as cold as a piece of ice. You guys, are the Empress sick?"
Zihuan and Yulang are both teenage girls, and they know these complicated thoughts of adults. Lu Matong and Yingbu understood what happened as soon as they heard it. In short, this is called being trapped by love. This is what modern people call love triangles. Love triangles are only suitable for people with turbid feelings, not for Yu Ji. She cannot bear this pressure. Under the splint of the two men, her delicate body and mind will be crushed.
When Yu Ji said she was coming to see Xiang Yu for the last time, she was sincere. Out of the consideration of a chaste woman, she felt that she was pregnant with the King of Qin and was about to become a mother. If she thought about another man in her heart, it would be a sin and would not be forgiven. Therefore, she had to expel Xiang Yu's shadow and completely break it up with him. But when she really came to Chenggao, she heard one news about the Chu army after another, and about
The news about Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel impetuous. It was like a kite that was not too high flying in the breeze, unable to reach the sky or fall to the ground, floating. It was not something she could control, although she tried to mobilize the reason and concentration in all the pore cells in her body to restrain her thoughts of being "evil" to no avail. Xiang Yu's every frown, smile and shadow were summoning him, as if countless hooks were stretched into her heart and evoked her lovesickness.
So Yu Ji felt sorry for the child in her belly.
Yu Ji was awakened by the shouts of Zihuan and Yu Lang, sighed quietly, and sat behind the desk, lazily stretched out her arms and let Lu Matong and Ying Bu sit down.
Ying Bu looked at Lu Matong and swallowed the last sentence he wanted to say to Yu Ji. He wanted to tell Yu Ji that it was very dangerous to see Xiang Yu at this time. With Xiang Yu's personality of being by his own way, he would most likely take Yu Ji's life with one arrow. Ying Bu was deeply worried about her, but when he saw Yu Ji's melancholy and haggard appearance, he swallowed it back. The person who tied the bell must be solved by Yu Ji, Xiang Yu and the King of Qin. The ending is unpredictable. Let's take a look at their respective performances.
Ying Bu refused Yu Ji's move to give up his seat and said, "Empress, I'm going to talk to Ma Tong alone, is it convenient?" Yu Ji suddenly smiled sweetly. "What's the inconvenience? You can treat me as a family, treat me as a girl, and treat Ma Tong as a younger brother."
Ying Bu's nose felt sour and almost burst into tears again, but he held it back. The King of Jiujiang was not a woman, so how could he always cry? Ying Bu lowered his head and said, "Thank you for not giving up. Ying Bu keeps it in mind, Ma Tong borrows it first."
Lu Matong followed Ying Bu to the door, but Ying Bu still pulled him forward. Lu Matong was also very puzzled. He didn't know what Ying Bu had borrowed him for?
Ying Bu stopped in a secluded corner, holding Lu Matong's hand and said, "The State of Chu is over and was destroyed by Xiang Yu. Since we have no hope of reviving Chu, we will at least bring a stable life to the people of Chu. I think the King of Qin is kind-hearted and has great responsibilities, and does not hate the people of Chu. Only when we help him unify the world can the people have a good life."
If the Ying Bu meeting was concerned about the people, that was purely a fairy tale, plus the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and One Thousand and One Nights. It was just a fart. However, Lu Matong still understood what he meant and said directly; "Master, please say something, the King of Qin is also good to me-" I thought to myself, except for the fact that he framed me some time ago. Lu Matong didn't take that matter to heart, it was just a prank by the King of Qin.
When Ying Bu heard what Lu Matong said, he knew that he had a good impression of the King of Qin during his time in Qin, and he became more determined to surrender to Qin. He said without any concealment, "The King of Qin ordered me to attack Xingyang. The guardian of Xingyang was the veteran General Tu Gangqiu. He was not easy to deal with. I plan to take his wits and fight quickly."
