Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 370 Our fate does not belong to us
In the early morning, the light rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped.

There are water puddles everywhere on the small road outside the post station, and passengers stepping on the water puddles one after another start to set off.

An old man living on the second floor, through the upstairs window, watched the passengers gradually go away until they disappeared at the end of sight.

It is said that returning to one's hometown after being rich and honored is a joyous event in life.But in the eyes of the old man, it was full of sadness.

Because this old man is none other than Xiang Yu's son-in-law, Fan Zeng.

At this time, some time had passed since the Hongmen Banquet, and Fan Zeng thought that Xiang Yu was just a little angry and made his own claims.

But this is not the case. After the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu no longer obeyed Fan Zeng's words as before, but took precautions everywhere, worried that Fan Zeng would threaten his status because of his excessive power.

It was precisely because of this situation that Fan Zeng was disheartened and returned home.

Through analysis and speculation along the way, Fan Zeng gradually understood where the problem was.

Today's overlord of Western Chu is no longer the helpless major general Xiang Yu whose uncle died tragically.

Now he is full of wings, able to soar to the nine heavens at any time, despising everything in the world.

So he doesn't want and doesn't like someone to restrain him.

"Yu'er, you are too suspicious, you obviously don't believe anyone, but you just fell into the enemy's way..."

Fan Zeng thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

He felt that he had the ability to assist Xiang Yu to win the world and fulfill his lifelong dream, but Xiang Yu no longer believed in him.

Speaking of which, the person he is really optimistic about is not Xiang Yu, but Xiang Liang.

When he joined the Xiang family, Fan Zeng was interested in Xiang Liang's ability, but Xiang Liang's early fall gave him a big blow.

And the so-called co-lord of the world, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is just a substitute for Xiang Liang, and he is not really optimistic about Xiang Yu.

The reason why he tried his best to assist Xiang Yu was to fulfill his own dream and Xiang Liang's last wish.

Thinking of this, Fan Zeng couldn't help but secretly sighed. In fact, he had already seen that Xiang Yu was dissatisfied with him.

"Too!"

Fan Zeng laughed at himself: "Someone is pointing fingers and nagging in front of me all day long, and I'm annoyed too!"

"what?"

As soon as Fan Zeng finished speaking, a youthful voice of inquiry suddenly came from beside him: "What is Mr. Fan bothering you about?"

"Ginger Chao?"

Fan Zeng was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked around, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Why haven't you gone back? Didn't you let you go?"

"I was ordered by the Overlord to escort my husband home. I dare not leave alone before my husband arrives!" Jiang Chao said solemnly.

"Nonsence!"

Fan Zeng spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground in disdain, and said cursingly: "You bullshit overlord, you're just a brat, and you still want to be the master of the world. I'm leaving. Let's see who will help him!"

"That ruffian Liu Bang, Wen has Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Wu has Fan Zhou Bo, Xiang Yu will never be able to beat him no matter what!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chao smiled noncommittally, and joked: "Bawang would be very touched if he knew that Mr. Fan still misses him on the way back home!"

"Humph!"

Fan Zeng snorted, ignored Jiang Chao, walked to the hanger on his own, got dressed, and left the station.

Jiang Chao looked at his leaving back, thoughtfully, and followed after a moment.

Fan Zeng is now in his 70s. Coupled with the bumpy journey back to his hometown, his health is not as good as before, and he often gets out of breath after walking a few steps.

Jiang Chao walked a distance with him, and saw him sitting on a dry bluestone, taking a rest.

"Mr. Fan, do you want some water?" Jiang Chao pulled off the water bag from his waist, and took the initiative to pass it to Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng took a few breaths, looked up at Jiang Chao, and then said with a smile: "You kid is taking such good care of me, are you really worried about my safety?"

"Jiang Chao was ordered by the Overlord to escort Mr. Fan home safely!"

"If he was really worried about my safety, why didn't he personally escort me home?"

Fan Zeng asked back with disdain, then took the water bag in Jiang Chao's hand, took a sip, and said angrily: "He is afraid that I will go back halfway and share his military power, so he sent you to escort, just to monitor me! "

"This……"

Jiang Chao was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing him like this, Fan Zeng was so angry that he immediately threw away the water bag, slowly got up, and said with a sneer, "I still have to take my military power. If I don't want to give it to me, wouldn't I kill me? A stick isn't enough seek!"

After speaking, set foot on the return journey again.

Along the way, Jiang Chao followed him silently until he arrived in Pengcheng.

Entering a hotel in Pengcheng, Fan Zeng still didn't pay much attention to Jiang Chao, and locked himself in the room when he came to the hotel.

As a strange person, Fan Zeng also has the habit of watching the stars every night.

But it used to be in the barracks, but now it is in the hotel.Although only the viewing location has changed, the mood is completely different.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were many stars hanging in the night sky, flickering.

Fan Zeng came to the highest point of the roof with a cane in his hand, and then fixed his eyes on the location of Ziweixing.

Ziweixing is known as the "Lord of Fighting Numbers". All the strange people who study astrology throughout the ages regard Ziweixing as the "Emperor Star".

Therefore, Minggong is a person of Ziwei, who has the appearance of an emperor.

If the sky is compared to a bucket, then Ziweixing is the tip of the bucket.

In this way, strange people and strangers regard the Ziwei star surrounded by stars as the lord of destiny.

However, the surrounding areas vary from big to small, some are the life of the head of a family, and some are the life of the head of a country.

"Why is the astrology so abnormal today? Isn't Liu Bang the fate of Ziwei? Why is the starlight getting darker and darker?"

Fan Zeng frowned suspiciously, then looked at it carefully, for a moment, couldn't help but let out a light sigh, and murmured: "Liu Bang's shifting the star to the west, could it be that the world has changed?"

With that said, he turned around and looked in the direction of the white tiger.

The starlight is shining there, it looks brighter than the Ziwei star, and it complements the general star.

"what's going on?"

Fan Zeng showed a rare expression of astonishment.

Sure enough, the world has changed, which means that there is one more person fighting for the world.

But who could this person be?

After thinking about it, Fan Zeng couldn't help but stroked his beard with a puzzled face.

Now that there is one more person fighting for the world, Liu Bang's fate should also change, otherwise his Ziwei star would not be so dim.

In this way, maybe Xiang Yu's fate will also change because of the appearance of this person.

Thinking of this, Fan Zeng showed a little smile on his face, feeling like a turn of events.

"No! I have to go back! I can't leave Yu'er!"

Fan Zeng said something to himself, his gaze became extremely firm.In fact, he regretted it a little at the moment, during this period of time he was so busy with Xiang Yu that he completely forgot the habit of watching astrology.

If he had discovered that the astrology had changed earlier, he probably would not have left Xiang Yu.

"Mr. Fan!"

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Chao's voice came from the courtyard below.

Fan Zeng looked down and found that Jiang Chao was holding a plate and waving at him.

"Mr. Fan, are you hungry? Haven't eaten all day!"

"Not hungry..."

Fan Zeng shook his head, stroked his beard and said, "The old man is looking at Bawang's birth chart."

"Then have you read it?"

Jiang Chao asked: "Eat something after watching, there are sweet potatoes to eat!"

"sweet potato?"

Fan Zeng said with interest: "I'll come down right away!"

"Do you want me to come up and help you?"

"No, wait for the old man!"

Jiang Chao instructed: "Okay, then you slow down, and be careful not to fall!"

"Understood, what a brat, why are you so wordy!" After saying this, Fan Zeng got off the roof with a cane.

Seeing how he couldn't wait, even throwing away his crutches when going down the stairs, Jiang Chao couldn't help being a little funny.

At this time, if other people came and saw him in a hurry, they would definitely think that something big had happened.

After all, Fan Zeng always gives people the impression of a master who is resourceful and calm in dealing with things.

Fortunately, this is not Xiang Yu's barracks, otherwise it would definitely surprise those generals.

When Fan Zeng came to the courtyard, he picked up his crutches again, straightened his robe and beard, and soon regained the style of a master.

Only then did he walk towards Jiang Chao calmly, and asked, "Didn't you say that the sweet potatoes are finished? How come there are still more?"

"I finished eating the previous ones, and I bought some more today!"

Jiang Chao replied with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense with the old man, this sweet potato is only produced by Pinyang, and you can't buy it outside!"

Fan Zeng gave Jiang Chao a white look, then picked up the roasted sweet potato on the plate, skillfully peeled off the caramelized sweet potato skin, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully: "It's so delicious, it's really rare in the world!"

"Well, roasted sweet potatoes are really delicious." Jiang Chao nodded approvingly.

Fan Zeng glanced at him with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "The old man has scolded you a lot these days, and you don't hold grudges at all?"

"It's definitely a lie to say that you don't hold grudges, but you're angry, and the kid doesn't bother to argue with you!" Jiang Chao scratched his head.

"what!"

Fan Zeng looked up to the sky and smiled angrily at Jiang Chao's words, then pointed to Jiang Chao and said, "I'm already old, and it's unreasonable for me to ask you to be humble!"

"Then I asked you to be humble, but you didn't agree!"

Jiang Chao shrugged helplessly, then picked up another sweet potato on the plate, and started to eat it.

Fan Zeng looked at him, angry and funny, and couldn't help asking: "You said that the sweet potatoes are gone, are you lying to me?"

"Yes! You ate my sweet potato and scolded me, then I will definitely not give it to you!"

"Then why are you taking it out for the old man to eat now?"

Jiang Chao thought for a while and said, "Because I found out...Mr. Fan doesn't seem to be angry anymore!"

"Oh?"

Fan Zeng was taken aback, then asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

"I can't say that, anyway, I feel that your spirit is different from before!" Jiang Chao shook his head.

Fan Zeng: "..."

Jiang Chao: "..."

The two looked at each other, both speechless.

After a while, Fan Zeng suddenly said, "Jiang Chao, do you know that this old man has always been suspicious of you?"

"Ah."

Jiang Chao said "hmm" but didn't answer.

Fan Zeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked heavily, "Then do you know where this sweet potato comes from?"

"Didn't you just say... Pinyang!"

"Pin Yang planted sweet potatoes, but the sweet potatoes came from Mr. Li An!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chao paused while eating sweet potatoes, and then said calmly: "Jiang Chao doesn't understand what Mr. Fan said..."

"Hehe, you don't need to understand, the old man has already thought it through!"

Fan Zeng smiled and waved his hands, then stared at Jiang Chao without blinking, and said lightly: "Actually, on the way home, I already discovered something strange, but I didn't pay attention to other things at that time, but just now, I Looking at the stars at night, guess what I found?"

"What did you find?" Jiang Chao raised his head and looked at Fan Zeng indifferently.

Fan Zeng looked back at him with a smile and said, "I realized that I should return to Xiang Yu's side and help him achieve success!"

Jiang Chao: "..."

"Before I left Xiang Yu, one was that Xiang Yu no longer trusted the old man, and the other was that Liu Bang's Ziwei star was so bright that he already had the air of being the master of the world. Even if the old man is as talented as anyone, he still can't compete with the sky!"

"But." As he said that, Fan Zeng changed the subject, and continued: "Observing the stars tonight, I found that Liu Bang's Ziwei star has also dimmed, which means that there is one more person fighting for the world, and this person's astrolabe is very dazzling. "

As soon as the words fell, he asked Jiang Chao again: "Who do you think this person is?"

"do not know."

Jiang Chao responded blankly.

The smile on Fan Zeng's face became wider and wider, but he heard him say meaningfully: "This man is the nineteenth son of Emperor Qin, the dignified Lord Li An, the manipulator behind the net."

Jiang Chao: "..."

"Before I doubted whether you were related to the rumored snare, but now that I think about it, you are not related to the snare, but a person who is a snare!"

Jiang Chao: "..."

Fan Zeng: "..."

The two looked at each other, speechless again.

After a while, Jiang Chao ate the sweet potato in one bite, shook his head and sighed: "Actually, you didn't have to expose it..."

"Humph!"

Fan Zeng snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Even if the old man doesn't expose you, he will die. Do you dare to say that you plan to solve the old man on the way?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chao took a deep look at Fan Zeng, then shook his head and said, "I did have this idea before, but I gave up later!"

"Ok?"

Fan Zeng frowned: "Why did you give up?"

"Because I think you are quite pitiful..."

Jiang Chao said calmly: "You are obviously full of passion, but it is sprinkled on people who are not worth it. Even if you go back, do you think Xiang Yu will still use you as much as before?"

"Even if he doesn't, the old man can help him with advice!"

"Don't be naive, Xiang Yu, when he uses you, he misses you so much, and when he doesn't need you, he abandons you like a piece of grass. You see you return to your hometown, has he ever kept you?"

Fan Zeng: "..."

Fan Zeng: "Then you tell the old man, are you from Mr. Li An?"

Jiang Chao: "Yes!"

"As expected, you are indeed Li Anjun's man!"

Fan Zeng didn't expect Jiang Chao to answer so bluntly, so he asked directly: "So, Mr. Li An is still alive? And he has sent troops south?"

"I sent troops from Longxi not long after I escorted you away!" Jiang Chao nodded.

"Longxi...the west? No wonder it's like this, no wonder the stars will be shifted to the west!" Fan Zeng murmured for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay! What a Li An-jun, the general trend of the world is under your control!"

"Ok?"

Jiang Chao was baffled by Fan Zeng's appearance, so he tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing this, Fan Zeng shook his head and smiled wryly, "Actually, even if the old man wants to go back, he can't do anything. The gangrene of the old man's back has recurred for many days, and I think he will die soon."

"........."

Jiang Chao frowned, and said calmly: "Even if you want to go back, I will stop you."

Hearing this, Fan Zeng smiled noncommittally, and then said with emotion: "It is destiny for Zhao Kun to have a subordinate like you."

"I'm not his subordinate, I'm his brother!" Jiang Chao corrected with some displeasure.

"Whether it's a brother or a subordinate, it has nothing to do with the old man. It's a pity that the old man can't go back. Why do you care about other things?"

As Fan Zeng said, he picked up the sweet potato in his hand, took a bite, and said, "This Li Anjun is also a strange person. His appearance may be predestined, so Liu Bang will be nothing in the end."

"The old man loses because he didn't kill Liu Bang earlier. Although it's late now, there is no regret, because someone will help the old man fulfill his wish!"

"What about Xiang Yu...are you willing?" Jiang Chao asked curiously.

"What's the use of not being reconciled? Will you let the old man go back?" Fan Zeng asked with a smile.

"will not!"

Jiang Chao shook his head affirmatively: "I will help you eliminate anyone who poses a threat to the young master."

Hearing this, Fan Zeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile, "You are very good, but your time is numbered!"

"Well, it's very difficult for our family to live past the age of 22."

"You don't seem afraid?"

Fan Zeng was surprised when he heard Jiang Chao's words.

But Jiang Chao said very calmly: "Our lives don't belong to us at all!"

"Heh, he's an interesting kid."

Fan Zeng sneered, then raised his head, looked up at the starry sky, sighed for a while, and said, "Fan Zeng, Fan Zeng, you are not a person who died on the battlefield, you can only stay here, this is God's will...

God called me Fan Zeng, that's all for now! "

After saying this, he coughed a few times, then walked slowly under the tree, found a stone bench, and slowly chewed sweet potatoes.

And Jiang Chao stood in the courtyard, watching him silently until he finished eating sweet potatoes, leaned against the tree trunk, and fell asleep.

Fan Zeng's life was full of legends. After Hongmenyan assassinated Liu Bang, he saw Xiang Yu's fate. Perhaps from then on, he should take the initiative to leave Xiang Yu.
