Chapter 338 Uncle, don't shoot arrows, it's me(1/2)
Mrs. Ju came from a famous family and had been used to her father and brother's decisive killings since she was a child. Therefore, once she decided to let the envoy go, she immediately asked Ju Jia to prepare the horse, and there was absolutely no sloppiness.
The envoy bowed his hand to Madam Ju and said with emotion: "Women are not inferior to men. With Madam here, the whole family will be safe."
Madam Ju said: "In Chu land, you must never say that I let you go."
The messenger nodded and said: "I understand, madam, don't worry."
In a moment, the giant armor had already brought the horse. The messenger did not delay, immediately mounted his horse and galloped out of the city.
The messenger did not take the south gate, but ran towards the north gate. The north gate was remote and had fewer guards, so the possibility of escape was greater.
Soon, the envoy had arrived at the north gate. He did not rein in his horse at all, but shouted loudly: "Urgent military situation, following the order of Duke Xiang, we must leave the city immediately and open the city gate quickly without delay."
There were fifty soldiers in total guarding the gate. However, no one ever came in or out of the north gate, so they only left four of them, and the rest went to sleep.
These four people looked at me and I looked at you, they were all a little hesitant. One of them asked loudly: "What kind of military information is this? Is there any seal?"
The messenger put his hand into his arms and said loudly: "Here is the seal."
The soldier came to receive his seal, but the messenger took out a sword and stabbed the soldier to death with a swipe of his hand.
Without stopping, the messenger stabbed the second man to death.
Only then did the remaining two people react and shouted to grab weapons. The messenger turned his horse around and condescended to kill the third man.
The remaining one was completely frightened. He didn't dare to take his weapon anymore, but ran towards the group, shouting loudly as he ran.
The messenger pinched the horse's belly, and the horse caught up and trampled the fourth man to the ground.
Four people were killed in an instant, and the envoy jumped off his horse, opened the city gate, and fled in a hurry.
When the large group of people guarding the city heard the movement and hurried over, they only saw four corpses and the open city gate. As for where the envoy went, they had no idea.
Along the way, the messengers galloped wildly. Whenever they encountered villages or towns, they would shout loudly: "Inform the local officials quickly that Xiang Liang has rebelled."
Within a few hours, this sentence had spread throughout more than a dozen villages and towns. The villagers were so frightened that they could not sleep well. It was conceivable that after dawn, the news would spread quickly throughout the Chu region. Xiang Liang wanted to do it quietly.
I'm afraid it won't work if you quietly sneak into other cities and make a surprise attack.
…………
On Yuewang Mountain, Xiang Liang's confidants and dozens of people were climbing the mountain with difficulty. They did not dare to walk on the mountain road for fear of being discovered by the soldiers with high lordships, so they climbed up the steep places.
Yuewang Mountain itself has a dangerous terrain, and the mountain road is tiring enough, let alone a place where there is no road?
Half an hour later, these people were all exhausted and sweating profusely. They found a large protruding rock and rested on it temporarily.
One of them said: "It may be dangerous to climb such a dangerous mountain in the dark."
The confidant said: "What's the big deal about danger? Isn't it even more dangerous for Mr. Yu on the mountain?"
Several people rested for a while and then continued to climb up. As a result, after climbing only two steps, the rock that one of them was holding on came loose, and he fell immediately.
In panic, the man grabbed his henchman's leg.
The confidant was caught off guard and was dragged down by him for a while. Fortunately, he climbed onto a small tree and finally stabilized his body.
This man grabbed his henchman's leg tightly and shouted loudly: "Sir, please help me, please help me."
The confidant was very angry and shouted in a low voice: "Don't make any noise, be careful that the Qin people hear it."
But this man was already frightened and kept shouting: "Sir, help me."
The confidant was so angry that he suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed the man hard. The man's voice suddenly stopped, and finally there were a few slight gurgling sounds from his throat, and nothing could be heard anymore.
The confidant shook his legs and threw the man down. After a long time, he heard a muffled thud from down the mountain.
The confidant said in a deep voice: "Whoever makes a loud noise again and harms the brothers will be dealt with accordingly."
Everyone responded in a low voice, and then worked hard to climb up the mountain.
…………
On the top of the mountain, neither Gongzi Gao nor Shen Lun slept. These two people couldn't sleep either.
It was getting late now, and Xiang Yu and his group were drunk again. So Jufu had no choice but to sleep on the top of the mountain for the night.
Prince Gao and Shen Lun hid in a secluded place to discuss important matters.
Young Master Gao whispered: "Master, I always have an unknown feeling today."
Shen Lun smiled bitterly: "Since I arrived in this Chu land, my teacher has felt a sense of foreboding every day."
Young Master Gao said: "My disciple's sense of foreboding is particularly serious today. I always feel that the giant man is doing better today, and he doesn't look strange. Instead, it is his followers who occasionally glance over, looking extremely fierce, like
They are like jackals, as if they want to eat our master and disciples."
Shen Lun stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then said: "As a teacher, I feel that this giant man is not simple. His eyes are cunning, as if he is like a fox."
Afterwards, the master and the disciple looked at each other and said with some fear: "These people are not simple."
The young master said in a low voice: "The giant man is already old. Even if he has some ideas, he can't implement them. My disciples think that the strong men he brought are a disaster. Fortunately, they have never drunk the fairy wine. They are not able to bear the power of the wine. Now they are drunk."
Fallen. What if they wake up, suddenly attack, and kill our master and disciple?"
Shen Lun's heart tightened, and he said nervously: "Young master, what you mean is that these people may be assassins sent by Xiang Liang?"
Young Master Gao said with emotion: "We have to be on guard. The banished immortal once said that after arriving in Chu Land, don't see anyone, don't listen to anything, stay safe and wait for Chu Land to be calmed down. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was something wrong.
It makes sense.”
Shen Lun pondered for a while and said: "The Chu land is dangerous, so you should be careful. Let's tie them up for now. If they are innocent, we will comfort them and reward them with something in the future. That's all."
Young Master Gao Shen nodded in agreement, and then called over the two pawns.
Young Master Gao said: "Bring the ropes and tie up the strong men brought by Jufu immediately. This matter must be done as soon as possible, otherwise they may be in trouble after they wake up."
The pawn was a little confused: "Your Majesty, why...why is this?"
The pawns were still full of expectations, hoping that the giant would persuade Master Gao to set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
Now that he suddenly tied up his entourage, wouldn't it be a complete breakup? If the giant man left angrily, he would have to station himself on the mountain. Therefore, they were somewhat reluctant.
The young master said in a deep voice: "These people may be Xiang Liang's assassins. If you don't want to lose your head in your sleep, tie them up immediately."
The pawns looked at each other and complained in their hearts: Assassin? How can there be an assassin here? Is the king scared by the banishment of the immortal?
But they did not dare to disobey King Kuaiji's order, so they could only slowly find the rope.
As a result, it happened that at this time, Xiang Liang's confidants led people to climb to the top of the mountain.
They heard nothing else except that Gongzi Gao suspected that Xiang Yu was an assassin and wanted to tie him up.
When the confidants heard this, what was the point? Did they find out that Mr. Yu was an assassin? After being tied up, were they supposed to be killed?
Although before leaving, Xiang Liang asked him to just come to investigate the enemy's situation and not to act rashly. But his confidants also knew that this kind of thing could not be delayed. When he quietly climbed down, reported to Xiang Liang, and then brought people to rescue, Xiang Yu's body was already cold.
.
So he took his men and hid quietly in the grass, followed the few pawns, and walked towards the place where Xiang Yu was imprisoned.
When they arrived, Xiang Yu and his gang were already tied up tightly.
After Xiang Yu got drunk, he slept soundly, while the others looked terrified.
The confidants hid in the darkness and waited patiently. When the few pawns were not paying attention, they quickly touched them, knocked them unconscious and dragged them away, and cut the ropes on Xiang Yu and his gang.
The confidant patted Xiang Yu's face and whispered: "Master Yu, Master Yu?"
Xiang Yu smashed his mouth and had no reaction.
The confidant smelled that he was full of alcohol, so he must have been drunk. He was so drunk that a gentle slap on the face might not be enough, so the confidant rounded his arms, opened his arms from left to right, and slapped Xiang Yu hard several times.
Xiang Yu finally opened his eyes hazily.
The confidant said: "Master Yu, the mountain road is steep. If you fall asleep, I really can't take you down. Please come with me quickly."
Xiang Yu said in confusion: "Let's go? Has King Kuaiji arrested you?"
The confidant said anxiously: "Why are you arresting the King of Kuaiji? The Qin people have seen through you, so leave quickly."
Xiang Yu sneered: "Qin people, I have courage that no man can match, I..."
He struggled to stand up, but staggered and fell to the ground again.
At this time, someone behind him shouted: "Who is it?"
The group of confidants turned around and saw a Qin soldier looking at them in surprise.
The confidant immediately drew his sword and stabbed the Qin soldier. As a result, the Qin soldier turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "There is an assassin, there is an assassin, the assassin is coming."
For a time, there was great chaos on the mountain.
The confidant wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Quick, let's go."
Two people supported Xiang Yu and staggered outside.
However, half of Xiang Yu's group was already drunk, and their hands and feet were so weak that they almost fell down when walking on flat ground, let alone mountain roads.
The confidant gritted his teeth and said to Xiang Yu: "I will lead them away. Mr. Yu will look for an opportunity and quickly go down the mountain."
Then, the henchmen and their men lit torches and charged indiscriminately on the mountain.
The Qin soldiers were in chaos and began to hunt down their henchmen with shouts.
