Chapter 246 Xiang Liang's Choice
PS: Sorry, there was a small bug earlier, the shopkeeper Fang should be the one who came to Xiang Yu's house, not Guanshi Qian (Guanshi Qian is the second-five boy from Yin Tong's family).I was in a daze, and I confused the names of the two actors, and they have been revised.

"Return to Your Highness, according to the itinerary, it should be delivered to Xiang Liang by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Although he didn't know why His Royal Highness attached so much importance to Xiang Yu's family letter, Zhang Liang still answered Zhao Ying's question meticulously.Zhao Ying nodded slightly, he was very curious about Xiang Liang's reaction after receiving Xiang Yu's letter.

Will he come to Xianyang?

Remember, in the original history, he did bring Xiang Yu to Xianyang.

Sima Qian did not know what kind of psychology, but also specially arranged a particularly interesting scene for Xiang Yu at that time.After Xiang Yu saw the majesty of the first emperor's traveling team, he issued that domineering declaration full of middle-level and second-handedness.

"He can be replaced!"

This scene may not have happened, but the pair of uncles and nephews probably really came to Xianyang.

So, now, at this point in time, will that Xiang Liang come to Xianyang?

A playful look flashed in Zhao Ying's eyes.

Zhang Liang: ...

Ah, this familiar look.

Zhang Liang only felt familiar, and then lowered his head very tactfully, pretending that he didn't see the evil intentions of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of his family.

"Notify Fan Kuai that during this period of time, let him allocate some people from the personal guard camp to serve as Xiang Yu's entourage during these days, and don't be stingy about other expenses—we must not let outsiders think that our family is mean and ungrateful. Talent..."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but twitched his eyelids.

"Your Highness is kind..."

……

His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, is naturally kind.

The common people in Xianyang City can all see it. The servants of the eldest son's mansion are well-known. Even Xiang Yu, a newcomer who just won the champion of martial arts, has received very courteous treatment. Envious.

I wish I could join the emperor's eldest grandson.

No one knew how Xiang Yu felt when he received this kind of courtesy, but Shopkeeper Fang, who came to Xianyang to join Xiang Yu and check on the specific situation of his little master, completely let go of his worries.

My little master, this is clearly a great success!

"The patriarch is very concerned about you, and specially asked the villain to come and take a look..."

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Fang looked around at the majestic and majestic guards who stood behind Xiang Yu, guarding him every step of the way, and couldn't help puffing out his chest proudly.

"I didn't expect you to break through this situation in just a short time! The patriarch knew it, and he must be very happy..."

Xiang Yu: ...

Looking at Shopkeeper Fang, who was spitting and chattering, Xiang Yu suddenly wanted to stop his mouth.

Excited?

If he didn't vomit blood on the spot, he must be regarded as an open-minded and tenacious old man!
But there were some things he couldn't say to the old shopkeeper in the house, so he could only wave his hands perfunctorily.

"I have already written a letter to my family. I have a postman from the imperial court. I believe it will be delivered to my uncle soon—"

Hearing that his little master had even considered this, shopkeeper Fang became more and more relieved.

Sure enough, it's been a place like Xianyang that sharpens people. It's only been a while, and the little master has already considered it so thoroughly.

Shopkeeper Fang came here under Xiang Liang's order. Apart from learning about Xiang Yu's situation, he also wanted to take a look at his own business.

Once understood, the mood will be better.

Now that Xiang Yu has become famous in Xianyang, he has not only won the champion of martial arts, but also has been appreciated by His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the current emperor. He can already be regarded as a new rich man in Xianyang.

Which inconspicuous person will have trouble with this kind of potential stock?
Therefore, the business under the name of the Xiang family has progressed unexpectedly smoothly. In just a few months, the situation has already opened up, and the recent business has even flourished.

Even Berkshire Huai's family has already established a relationship.

This is going to God!

"It's all thanks to the young patriarch's blessing, our Xiang family should be prosperous!"

Shopkeeper Fang shook his beard excitedly.

After going back, he couldn't wait to write a letter of good news to his Patriarch, and asked Xianyang's postman to deliver it early the next morning.

The postman of the imperial court naturally does not deliver private mail, but who is the treasurer Fang?
The old fox who has been fighting in the mall for decades, playing the banner of his own young patriarch, and handing over his intentions without any trace, the matter will be settled immediately!
No matter how strict the laws of the Qin Dynasty were, they could not stop the exchange of favors.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. In fact, as long as there is no accident, don't go too far. Even the boss will turn a blind eye to it.

Otherwise, who would be willing to work hard for himself?

For the sake of the future of the young patriarch of his family, and to build a good relationship with His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, on the second day, shopkeeper Fang even used the power of the Xiang family in Xianyang to prepare a sincere and generous gift, and came to thank His Royal Highness the eldest grandson for his kindness to his family. The care of the young master.

Xiang Yu only felt tired for the shopkeeper Fang who had been dazzled by the surprise.

Simply, he hid back to the eldest son's mansion, got into his own small courtyard, and couldn't come out.

Out of sight out of mind.

However, what made him a little bored was that Zhao Gao, who came back from visiting relatives, seemed to have something on his mind, and became even more taciturn, not even interested in exchanging swordsmanship with him.

He could only hold back reading in the yard every day, and when he couldn't hold back, he ran to the martial arts arena in the back garden to practice martial arts.

It's just that he only goes during the day, not in the morning or evening.

Mainly because he didn't want to meet Zhao Ying.

Every time he saw Zhao Ying juggling a halberd weighing more than 500 jin with one hand like a lamp grass, he felt hit. What made him speechless was that every time he finished he sighed.

"Oh, it's too light..."

Every time at this time, he felt that his brave and conceited behavior in Kuaiji County was like a big joke.

Only Zhuigu, whenever this time happened, he would shout and applaud loudly, very excited.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Just when Xiang Yu was bored and wanted to leave Xianyang early and go to Qiemo, Xiang Liang, who was far away in Kuaiji, finally received a letter from Xiang Yu.

With just a glance, he was sure that it was Xiang Yu's handwriting.

This letter is as concise as ever.

He already knew about winning the No. [-] Scholar.

But when he saw that Xiang Yu claimed that he was valued by the emperor's eldest grandson as soon as he entered Xianyang, he was grateful for his kindness, and had already joined the emperor's eldest grandson. Frown instantly.

Something is wrong!
very wrong!

My nephew, I watched him grow up, I know his character and temper clearly, how can he be willing to be inferior to others?

What's more, my Xiang family and Daqin have a deep blood feud, and they swear to be incompatible. Over the years, they have lived in seclusion in Kuaiji, tried their best, and worked hard. What is the reason for it?
How could he join the emperor's eldest grandson!

Going to marry the cousin of the eldest grandson of the emperor...

He frowned, and studied word by word again, trying to find a clue, but this letter, no matter how you look at it, was written by his nephew himself, and even when he wrote the word "feather", it was a stroke that floated out. , are exactly the same.

It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to fake it!

Therefore, my nephew has joined the emperor's eldest grandson's command and wants to marry the emperor's eldest grandson's family.Seeing the request to invite him to Xianyang to preside over the marriage, Xiang Liang couldn't help closing his eyes slightly.

If everything said in this letter is true, then there must be something left unsaid!
I can't even say it clearly!
Under what circumstances would this proud nephew bow his head and even make a request to enter Xianyang at this critical juncture?
Xiang Liang pondered for a long time, suddenly his heart moved, he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Xiang Yu's somewhat dignified words.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor's eldest grandson, is so heroic that there is no match for him. I am determined to join His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, as his forerunner!"

"No match!"

He was telling me that there is no match for the eldest grandson of the emperor.Even, it is very likely that they have caught our handle, at least they have become suspicious of us!
He suddenly thought of the Changgongzifu caravan whose business in Kuaiji County was getting bigger and bigger all of a sudden, and even his own family had already done business with them.

And, the tall, slender neck shopkeeper Jing who always looks smiling!
They have already noticed the anomaly in Kuaiji County?
He has already made a layout for his uncle and nephew!

They are fully aware of their troubles, so as soon as Yu'er entered Xianyang, he had already fallen into the hands of the emperor's eldest grandson. Involuntary, controlled by others!
This thought made him shudder.

Everything is connected!

It was night, and the lights in Xiang Liang's room had not been turned off for a long time.

Early the next morning.

Xiang Liang looked as usual, with a long sword hanging on his waist, he pushed the door and went out.However, if you want to observe carefully, you can see that the eyes of this old Chu Chu general who used to be indifferent to emotions are bloodshot, and there is an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

"Calling Iron Character Guard——"

Xiang Liang ate breakfast calmly, and waited for the servants to clean up the food, then held the hilt of his sword and gave orders in a deep voice.

After hearing Xiang Liang's order, the old servant beside him couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, and without saying a word, he bowed down to convey it.

Not long after, ten middle-aged men with resolute faces and capable bodies filed in one file at a time.

Xiang Liang's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the ten of them, and seeing that none of them changed their expressions, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Follow me to see Governor Yin!"

Hearing Xiang Liang's visit, Yin Tong couldn't help showing a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Letter from Xiang Yu.

And it was the imperial post station that he passed. As the prefect, he naturally wouldn't know it.

This shows that Xiang Yu has not only won the first prize, but has most likely already joined the emperor's eldest grandson. Otherwise, a new top scholar without a real job would not be able to use the post station to deliver private messages.

However, although Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew had doubts about his actions, Yin Tong still tended to believe what Xiang Liang said, because there was no possibility of the Xiang family's uncle and nephew compromise with Daqin!

Family hatred and country hatred!

After all these years of painstaking efforts, how could it be possible to give up so easily?

However, the heart of defense is indispensable.

To be on the safe side, Yin Tong still decided to play it safe.

"Please talk to Patriarch Xiang's study—"

After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and winked at Steward Qian who was waiting on the side.

"Guard Qian, you go and inform General Long Ze personally, and let him come to my study to discuss matters!"

Guanshi Qian understood, turned around and left.However, what Yin Tong didn't know was that when he left the backyard, he, the loyal steward Qian, quickened his pace, and before he had gone far, he caught up with the boy in green who had gone to inform Xiang Liang earlier.

When Guanshi Qian walked away, Yin Tong turned around and gave orders.

"Go ask Mr. Zhang to come—"

Mr. Zhang is a disciple hired by his family with a lot of money. His swordsmanship is so superb that even Xiang Liang praised him.It is believed that his swordsmanship is the best in the world, and there are few enemies.

It's better to be careful until you can't figure out the intentions of Xiang's uncle and nephew.

"The money steward—"

The servant respectfully bowed sideways, and Guanshi Qian nodded lightly, then waved his hands.

"Let's prepare the horses, Patriarch Xiang, I'll go on my own..."

The boy did not dare to disobey, saluted, and went to prepare the horse for Guanshi Qian, while Guanshi Qian walked quickly to the front hall.

"Meet Patriarch Xiang—"

Guanshi Qian glanced nonchalantly at the dozen or so iron guards who were waiting outside, and then bowed to Xiang Liang.

"Master Xiang please go to the study to tell Patriarch Xiang..."

"There are labors and money to manage things..."

Xiang Liang stood up and returned the salute with his hands clasped, as humble and courteous as ever.

Xiang Liang stepped out, and Guanshi Qian also walked out of the room, and then lowered his voice behind him through the exit.

"Lord Sheriff, let me inform General Longze..."

Xiang Liang was shocked when he heard this.

He glanced at Guanshi Qian gratefully.

"Thank you, in the future, there will be a reward!"

Yin Tong, that bastard, has become suspicious of himself!

Not too stupid!

Xiang Liang smiled and cupped his hands at Steward Qian.

"The money manager just goes to his own business..."

More than a dozen iron guards followed Xiang Liang silently, and no one was suspicious of this. In the past, when the Patriarch of the Xiang family came, most of the servants would follow him.

What's more, these servants stopped automatically when they reached the door of the study yard.

Xiang Liang strode in.

"Xiang Liang met the governor—"

Seeing Yin Tong leading Mr. Zhang out of the study from a distance, Xiang Liang acted as if he hadn't seen Mr. Zhang, and took a few steps ahead, bowing his hands in salute from a distance.

"Brother Xiang, be polite—"

Yin Tong smiled and cupped his hands in return.

The three of them returned to the study and sat down again. Xiang Liang then took out Xiang Yu's letter from his arms and handed it over with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, I'm overjoyed, my nephew is fortunate enough to have won the trust of the eldest grandson of the emperor!"

Hearing this, Yin Tong took the letter in Xiang Liang's hand with some doubts, and looked down.

Sure enough, as Xiang Liang said, the young man named Xiang Yu had already gained the trust of the emperor's eldest grandson, and was even about to marry the emperor's eldest grandson's cousin, the daughter of the fourth son Gao's family!

"Nephew Ling is really good at—"

Although he had doubts in his heart, it was not time for Yin Tong to turn his back on him. The timing was wrong. He had not yet taken the initiative in Daze Township, and he still needed the help of his nephew Xiang Liang.
