Chapter 335 Yue Wang Banquet(1/2)
When Prince Gao heard that the messenger had returned, he immediately glanced at Shen Lun, and then they both stood up at the same time and went down the mountain to greet him.
When they saw that the three couriers were all safe and sound, with no missing arms or legs, they breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xiang Liang had not sent an assassin to attack them.
There are three messengers, one of whom is the general leading the team, and the other two are soldiers.
The generals naturally came to pay homage to Prince Gao, while the soldiers were among the soldiers, bragging about what they had seen and heard when they went down the mountain. They talked about how graceful the Chu girls were, and how delicious the wine and meat in the Chu land were. These soldiers all drooled after hearing this.
After seeing the general, Prince Gao asked, "Can I see the prefect of Kuaiji here?"
The general said: "I saw it." Then he learned the words of the giant man exactly.
Young Master Gao glanced at Shen Lun, and both of them had enigmatic smiles on their faces. This meaningful smile made the general a little confused. He found that ever since Young Master Gao left Xianyang, he has always been acting strangely and making people wonder.
Impenetrable.
After sending away the generals, Young Master Gao whispered to Shen Lun: "Master, my disciple believes that in Kuaiji City, there is no good wine and no good banquet."
Shen Lun nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "Chu Di and his party, the young master has grown up."
Prince Gao asked Shen Lun: "Master, how should we respond?"
Shen Lun closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while and said, "Can you still trust the governor of Kuaiji? I can't guarantee it. Logically speaking, this man is from Qin, and your majesty appointed him to be the governor of Chu."
"But according to the banished immortal's instructions, Xiang Liang dared to hold the young master hostage, let alone a Kuaiji county governor?"
"Even if the governor of Kuaiji is a loyal minister and a righteous man, he is unwilling to follow the rebels and do evil. If the messenger has never met the governor of Kuaiji, how can he know that he is the real one?"
During the conversation, Gongzi Gao was a little frightened, thinking that all Chu land was filled with ghosts and monsters, and no one could believe it.
Just then, a gust of mountain wind blew. Young Master Gao shivered, and then he wrapped his clothes tightly and said, "So, we will follow the instructions of the banished immortals and stay behind closed doors and not have any contact with them."
Shen Lun nodded, and then shook his head: "I just thought that if we don't go to the banquet and don't contact the county governor, it will be suspicious and unethical. How about... we invite the county governor to come to the mountain for the banquet.
How about it? After he arrives, we will test him. If he is one of our own, that's fine. If he surrenders to the rebels, we might as well kill him with one knife."
Gongzi Gao hesitated: "The banishment of immortals means that we should not contact anyone."
Shen Lun said: "We should adapt to the current situation. The banished immortal is far away in Xianyang and has given you and me some pointers. If we remain rigid, something would be wrong."
Young Master Gao nodded. Then, he wanted to hand over the general and continue delivering the message.
But Young Master Gao hesitated for a moment, suddenly had an idea, and then said loudly: "I, the king, want to send out the second messenger. The one with the highest price will get it."
For a while, the soldiers started fighting again.
…………
In Kuaiji City, everything was ready. The soldier panted and came to report that the messenger from the King of Kuaiji had arrived again.
After hearing this, Xiang Liang felt a little unhappy: "Why is it the messenger again?"
He patiently called the messenger.
This time, the messengers were not the same three as last time. When these three people arrived at the governor's house, they began to look around with stern eyes. After a long time, they actually sniffed and said shamelessly: "Is there meat and wine?"
Xiang Liang was speechless and waved his hand gently. Then, several servants brought them some wine and meat.
The three messengers immediately started gobbling up the food.
The three of them pooled their money to buy this job. On the way here, they had already made up their mind to earn back their money. So when they arrived, they couldn't wait to eat and drink.
Xiang Liang winked at the giant man. The giant man understood and asked pleasantly: "You three, when will King Kuaiji come to the banquet?"
The three people opened their mouths, but no one could speak because their mouths were full.
Xiang Liang sneered in his heart: Qin people, these are Qin people. They are as stupid as pigs.
He said to the giant man: "Don't be in a hurry, don't rush for a while."
So the giant man stood by and waited with a smile.
Half an hour later, the three messengers' bellies were so round that they could no longer stand and could only lie on their sides on the couch.
The giant man asked again: "You three, when will King Kuaiji come to the banquet?"
One of the messengers said: "The king is not coming. The king ordered us to send a message to invite the county governor to the banquet."
The giant man was stunned. He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "King Kuaiji, why do you have to be stationed on Yuewang Mountain?"
The three messengers sighed and began to complain again.
The giant man had a headache after hearing this.
Finally, the messenger said something useful: "It is said that before coming to Chu, the king went to Shangjun's courtyard and met the banished immortal. Everyone said that it was the banished immortal who helped the king with his divination. Maybe as long as
If you are stationed at Yuewang Mountain, you can be promoted to a higher rank."
When the giant man heard this, he almost became angry: Isn't this nonsense? How can the princes of a country rely on the art of witchcraft to build a mansion? Besides, what's the matter of promotion? He is already the king of Kuaiji.
Do you want to rebel and become emperor after being promoted to a higher position?
The three messengers were lying on the couch, unable to move.
Xiang Liang and Ju Fu simply went to another room to discuss.
After closing the door, Xiang Liang couldn't wait to ask the giant: "Is this King of Kuaiji really so ridiculous?"
The Jufu thought for a while and said: "Young Master is tall, but he has never been very outstanding. When I lived in Xianyang, I never had a close relationship with him. However, this man has average intelligence and no talent."
Xiang Liang nodded and said, "It seems that he did listen to Huaiguzi's crazy words."
Xiang Yu frowned and said, "However, he was caught unawares and stayed on Yuewang Mountain and refused to come down. What should we do? Should we surround Yuewang Mountain with troops?"
Xiang Liang laughed and said, "Don't bother me. Isn't he going to have a banquet with the governor? We will select twenty or thirty strong men, pretend to be followers, and follow the governor up the mountain. When we reach the banquet, we will immediately take action and kidnap the King of Kuaiji.
Then he was tied down from the mountain. The matter was accomplished without any use of soldiers."
Xiang Yu smiled happily and said, "I am willing to follow the governor up the mountain."
Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction: "Yu'er is very brave. If you go, I will feel relieved. However, you must be careful during this trip, just in case King Kuaiji has any intentions..."
Xiang Yu waved his hand nonchalantly: "Uncle, don't worry. I have courage that no man can match. I can break through even if I break in. Besides, I kidnapped the King of Kuaiji at the banquet. Even if he had any intention, he would not dare to use it."
"
Xiang Liang nodded: "However, it is still necessary to be cautious on this trip. If you find that something cannot be done, don't fight hard, just find an excuse to come back, that's it. I will lead people secretly and deploy troops and horses at the foot of Yuewang Mountain. As long as you
If you can get down the mountain, great things will happen."
Xiang Yu nodded in agreement.
Jufu was a little helpless next to him. Yuewang Mountain was a steep mountain and really difficult to climb. He said before that he couldn't climb it, which was not an excuse. But now, Xiang's uncle and nephew agreed in the blink of an eye, and he
Dare not refute.
Forget it, just listen to it.
…………
The next day, the giant man got on the carriage and led people to Yuewang Mountain.
According to Xiang Liang's intention, they should set off that night. As a result, the three messengers were almost starved to death and could not rush on their way anyway, so they had to be delayed for one night.
Before leaving, Xiang Liang carefully wrote down the faces of these three people.
These three gluttons, in order to satisfy their appetites, delayed their anti-Qin cause for a whole night. They deserved it. When they take the master, kill these three people first to sacrifice the flag.
The giant man sat on the carriage and walked unsteadily for two full hours before finally arriving at the foot of Yuewang Mountain.
The giant man stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up. Seeing the rolling hills, he couldn't help but sigh and said to his left and right, "Let's go up the mountain."
Xiang Yu nodded extremely excitedly and said with the twenty warriors behind him: "Let's go!"
The group of people hurried up the mountain, unable to hold back anymore and wanted to catch the young master.
As a result, they had just climbed a few feet when they heard the giant man say at the foot of the mountain: "Everyone, please slow down. I have weak legs and feet, so I can't keep up."
Xiang Yu was a little helpless, after all, this trip was nominally dominated by Ju Fu. Xiang Yu and his party had no choice but to turn back and follow Ju Fu obediently.
The giant man takes two steps, then takes a breath, takes another two steps, and then sits on a rock to rest if he encounters a flat place.
Xiang Yu was furious and urged him several times. Seeing that the giant man was really unable to go up the mountain, he could only be patient and follow slowly.
One surge of energy will make you weak, and the next three will be exhausted.
Half an hour later, the momentum of Xiang Yu and his group had been worn away.
The giant man was also exhausted, and kept muttering: "Why does the king of Kuaiji have a body of thousands of gold to be stationed on Yuewang Mountain? This mountain is so steep, if you fall down, you will definitely be broken into pieces. Even if you don't fall down, the mountain wind will hurt you."
People who live here for a long time will suffer harm."
Xiang Yu was a little helpless and looked back at the foot of the mountain. He had only climbed about ten feet.
Suddenly, the giant man sat on a stone and said, "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore. I don't have the strength anymore."
Xiang Yu was so angry that he was still far from the top of the mountain. Is this old guy unable to climb now?
Xiang Yu took a step forward, gritted his teeth and said in his ear: "Sir, you don't have any other intentions. Otherwise, Xiang's sword will not recognize anyone."
The giant man was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he said with a grimace: "What can I have on my mind? What can I have on my mind? My whole family, young and old, are all in Kuaiji City. I have already given my life and property to the general."
Xiang Yu thought for a while and felt that this made sense, so he asked: "Then why are you unwilling to climb the mountain?"
The giant man pointed to the white hair on his head: "I really can't climb the mountain anymore."
