Qin Hu

Chapter 171 Innate Divine Power VS Innate Divine Power!

Early the next morning, Yang led Xiang Dao to invite him.

Ying Zheng, Zhao Zihu, Liu Bang, including Lu Zhi, 12 people took three carriages and went out of the east gate to Xiangjiazhuang.

The carriages were not moving fast, and they were still being checked at the city gate. It took more than half an hour before they really stopped.

When everyone got off the carriage, they saw a large expanse of pasture surrounded by a wooden fence and a tower-like gate.

Zhao Zihu, accompanied by Guan Yan and his relatives, were ushered into the gate to have a look. He reckoned that the pasture alone had at least three acres.

The wooden fence is more than two people high, and it is half shorter than the wall of the county town not far away.

The tower is actually not too high, just like the main gate of the camp they built on their east tour, with archers patrolling back and forth.

A simple and mighty chariot with a simple appearance was placed in the pasture, which could accommodate three people riding horses and wielding weapons.

Around the chariot are four naive horses taking a leisurely stroll and grazing, and there are also a dozen or so fine horses running around in the other two pastures.

These horses can only be regarded as fair in coat color and bone appearance, and they can be seen to be a little vigorous, but they are far inferior to the ten good horses that Zhao Zihu and the others rode.

"Everyone please!"

Walking through the pasture, everyone came to the real Xiangjiazhuang. Rather than saying it is a private manor, it is more appropriate to call it a fortress...

The high walls and thick walls built along the water, at a glance, make people feel that they are definitely more than twice the size of the grassland, and the pavilions are faintly visible in the middle.

Xiang Liang said he wanted to meet him in person, so he waited at the gate of the fortress, and as the future head of the family and chief counselor, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng naturally followed.

"How many people are there?"

Looking at Ying Zheng who was walking towards him at the head, his posture of walking like a dragon, and his domineering demeanor that was almost ready to come out, Xiang Liang couldn't help being a little startled.

Subconsciously looking around, he heard Fan Zengyi murmured, "It's not vulgar", while Xiang Yu was startled in shock, his eyes gleaming brightly.

Could it be that he is really...

As soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed again. Xiang Liang observed Zhao Zihu, Lu Zhi and so on a few more times, then smiled nervously, and took a big step forward: "Welcome, welcome!"

"I am Xiang Liang, the owner of this family village! You have worked so hard to come to invest in Bizhuang. It is a great honor for Xiang Liang to look up to me! Come with me into the inner hall to have some water and wine before we talk..."

When everyone saw Xiang Liang, they all clasped their hands and laughed. Ying Zheng was the first to say: "Master Xiang, please be polite! My name is Zhao Zhen, from Luoyang. These are my son Zhao Zihu and daughter-in-law Lu Fei..."

Seeing that they were still bringing their female relatives with them, Xiang Liang felt that his idea just now was really ridiculous. If Ying Zheng really came in person, then the other party would be too confused and absurd.

Hearing that Liu Bang had also come, he couldn't help shaking his head, jokingly said: "Why, Pavilion Chief Liu can't survive in Pei County? He also wants to join my Xiang family?"

Liu Bang trembled with his left leg, and smiled: "That's right! I'm following Patriarch Zhao now. Wherever they go, I will follow them!"

"Hahaha……"

Now, not to mention Xiang Liang, even Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu, and Long Qie were all amused by Liu Bang's words.

Who is he, Liu Bang?But the well-known "big men" in Sichuan County, it is said that except for Xiao He, he would not accept anyone, and now he personally said that he wanted to follow others, wouldn't it be ridiculous.

"Hey! I said there's nothing funny about it. It's just like the saying that a good bird chooses a tree to live in!" Liu Bang waved his hand contemptuously at the laughter of everyone in Xiangjiazhuang.

"So, the identity of Patriarch Zhao is not simple, is it?" Xiang Liang looked at Ying Zheng meaningfully, then stepped aside and led everyone in.

"Please!"

"Please……"

Knowing that Xiang Liang was probing, Ying Zheng and Zhao Zihu didn't reply, and they took it indifferently, and followed them into Xiangjiazhuang with big strides.

Inside the bright and bright gate is a spacious courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard paved with blue bricks, there is an ancient and clumsy tripod.

At first glance, this big tripod is about six feet or more, square in shape, blue in color and four-legged, with weird oracle bone characters engraved in the center of the front.

The decorations around the text are like an ancient map. There are many mountains and rivers in the map, and there are many clouds around it.

When Yingzheng saw this big cauldron, he was not calm for the first time, and asked solemnly, "Patriarch Xiang! Your cauldron, could it be..."

"Oh! It? It's just a decoration that I imitated. The owner of the Zhao family is well-informed. Could it be that he has seen some tricks?"

counterfeit? !

Zhao Zihu wanted to laugh when he heard that, he had seen the other eight tripods in Xianyang.

If he remembered correctly, this thing should be a real Yuzhou tripod.

Ok!

This Yuzhou tripod was salvaged by the Xiang family...

Even if it is fake.

Doesn't Xiang Liang mean to tell people that he has seen Jiuding...

Is it an attempt to win the world by imitating one?
Thinking of this, Zhao Zihu became even more disgusted.

Of the people present today, no more than one palm could recognize the Yuzhou tripod.

Neither he nor his own father could act too abruptly so quickly and identify something about the Xiang family.

Otherwise, how many secrets the Xiang family still has may be exposed before they are found out.

Because of this, he didn't go to see his father's reaction. Instead, he yawned repeatedly, which made people feel that he lacked interest in this cauldron.

Ying Zheng naturally understood this truth, and responded with an embarrassed smile: "Where? I just look at this tripod quite miraculously..."

"I also heard rumors that the Yuzhou Ding once sank between Surabaya, and I felt a little confused, so I asked this question!"

Xiang Liang waved his hand amusedly.

Fan Zeng also shook his head and said, "Hey! The legend is just a legend. Just because our Xiangjiazhuang is built on the edge of Surabaya, we can't assume that this tripod is some kind of Yuzhou tripod that was salvaged by us, right?"

"The elder is right..."

Zhao Zihu echoed: "Then how heavy is the tripod? How deep is the Surabaya River? Dad, don't you think that everything like fish and shrimp can be caught easily?"

"Hmm! In that case, I didn't think much about it. Patriarch Xiang! I'm really sorry, but please Haihan." Ying Zheng murmured, bowing his hands to apologize.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Xiang Liang smiled nonchalantly, and led everyone to go deeper.

However, the moment everyone turned around, Zhao Zihu noticed that Fan Zeng gave him a meaningful look, while Xiang Yu stared at his back.

This made Zhao Zihu feel that there was unprecedented pressure on him. He thought to himself, this kid Xiang Yu is probably planning to fight with him...

Is it because our bodies look the same?

His doubts were quickly answered.

After entering the main hall, everyone took their seats as guests and hosts, and while they were asking the stewards to serve tea, Xiang Liang began chatting with Ying Zheng.

The topics are nothing more than, "What is your identity and background in Luoyang?", "Why do you live here", "How could you think of joining our Xiang family"...

Ying Zheng had discussed these issues with Zhao Zihu and Liu Bang yesterday evening, and he answered them naturally, but he never expected Xiang Liang to say such a thing.

"Oh! Brother Zhao. Since you are also the head of the family, don't say whether you want to go or not! I don't have the qualifications to treat you as a guest and aide..."

Xiang Liang put down the teacup, and his voice revealed his sincerity: "Brother Zhao, if you think highly of Xiang, let's make friends. You and your family can stay here for the time being. Whenever you want to leave, I will I won't stop you! How about it?"

Zhao Zihu didn't care what his father and Xiang Liang were arguing about. As early as when Xiang Dao brought the tea, he drank a cup and dragged Lu Zhi out of the main hall.

Seeing the momentum, Liu Bang followed closely behind, and he couldn't stand such a formal conversation.What made him even more speechless was that the old man named Fan Zeng was always looking at people intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the three of Zhao Zihu and Zhao Zihu had just stepped out of the main hall, and Xiang Yu rushed out on his back, shouting loudly: "Zhao Zihu! Your name is Zhao Zihu, right? You look so powerful. Do you dare to compare with me?"

"You are……"

Zhao Zihu stopped, smiled, and then heard Liu Bang whisper in his ear. He immediately asked in pretending to be surprised: "You are Xiang Yu, are you really only 13 years old? You are lying."

"Age is not important! Just ask you, do you compare?"

Seeing Xiang Yu's high-spirited posture and patting his chest, Zhao Zihu was amused, and began to think about whether he should fool this kid into lifting a tripod. There happened to be a ready-made one in the front yard outside.

He didn't bother to care about when the allusion of "Overlord Lifting the Ding" happened, and Xiang Yu was underage, so he was suspected of bullying the young... Well, it seems that he is not much older than the other party, so it's not a big problem!
He only knew that it would be best to trick Xiang Yu to death. This kid hated Qin very much and was a "human butcher". It was almost impossible to tame him.

Zhao Zihu immediately asked: "Tell me first, how do you compare?"

"It's very simple! Compare your strength. Wrestling, arm wrestling...you can do it!" Xiang Yu replied without thinking.

"Win or lose?"

"As you arrange!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zihu couldn't help but cast a glance, and muttered, "You were the one who bet against me last time. You seem to think you won't lose!"

The corners of Liu Bang's mouth twitched, and he said depressedly: "Last time, I was playing tricks, and I met you who was the direct troublemaker. This time, head-on? Brother Zhao! You may not win."

"Is that why you have no confidence in me?"

"How can I say that he is also Xiang Yu who is said to be born with supernatural power." Lu Zhi then said.

"So, this time I support you! Little Xiang Yu." Liu Bang smiled at Xiang Yu with narrowed eyes.

Xiang Yu raised his thick eyebrows, very annoyed, especially when he was called "little" for no reason.

Feeling the compelling gaze from him, Liu Bang shrank his neck: "I'd better support you back. Brother Zhao!"

"In that case, you'd better go back and think about the winning and losing conditions, and we'll compete tomorrow!" Zhao Zihu also gave Liu Bang a blank look.

He felt that Xiang Yu hadn't figured it out yet. The issue of winning and losing conditions should be enough for this kid to think about for a day and a night.

But Xiang Yu didn't want to, he hurriedly protested: "Why tomorrow? Are you guilty? The comparison is today!"

"I also want to compare with you today, to see what natural strength is. The point is, brother, I am really powerless today!"

Zhao Zihu took Lu Zhi's little hand, and said: "You should understand this. Oh! You are underage, so you really don't necessarily understand."

Having said that, he couldn't help but glanced at the pavilions and houses around the main hall, thinking strangely that Yu Ji didn't know when she followed Xiang Yu.

Seeing Zhao Zihu's actions, Xiang Yu was really confused at the moment, and it took him a while before he realized: "You mean, you can't use your full strength today?"

"Hmm! This is really not fair to me. Then tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, you can't go back on your word!" Seeing Zhao Zihu nodding, he thought to himself.

After finishing speaking, he was about to walk towards the backyard, but he heard Zhao Zihu shout again abruptly: "That's right! Do you know, the tripod in your house is heavy..."

Xiang Yu was slightly startled, and turned his head to stare at Zhao Zihu, not understanding what he meant by that for a moment.

"I was just thinking, wrestling and arm wrestling are so boring! How about we try tomorrow, who can lift this cauldron?"

Xiang Yu almost fell to the ground because of Zhao Zihu's words. He said in disbelief, "This tripod! Listen to my dad and the others..."

"It's a thousand catties to say the least. I can barely hold it up and walk a few steps. Are you sure you can really lift it?"

Zhao Zihu knew that one catty in the Qin Dynasty was equivalent to about 250 grams in later generations, and one thousand catties was 250 catties...

With his special physique of reliving a lifetime, it is really not difficult to lift it up, so he nodded seriously.

Now, not to mention that Xiang Yu didn't believe it anymore, even Liu Bang said "tsk tsk" mercilessly, saying "you can only believe in ghosts".

"Hey! You really don't believe me. We'll just wait and see tomorrow! What do you think? Pheasant." Zhao Zihu raised Lu Zhi's chin as if no one was watching.

Lu Zhi stopped his hand, lowered her head shyly, and said, "I believe it." She had already figured out that this enemy must be setting a trap for this tiger guy.

Sure enough, before the newcomers who accompanied Ying Zheng had finished their breakfast, Xiang Yu randomly picked up two large bowls of rice and venison, then ran back to the east wing of the backyard, closed the door of the small courtyard, and started practicing Lift sandbags.

Then, that afternoon, when Xiang Liang was taking Ying Zheng and Zhao Zihu to go shopping around the manor, especially when he was going to see Xiang's Sishui pier, when he passed the front yard, he saw Xiang Yu standing alone on the tripod in Yuzhou. forward.

The boy had a serious face, staring at Yuzhou Ding's belly, not knowing what he was thinking, Xiang Lianggang asked a question helplessly, then he raised his head and found Zhao Zihu in front of him, and immediately murmured excitedly.

"Wait! I seem to be able to lift it up..."

Zhao Zihu heard Xiang Yu's uncertain tone and smiled strangely: "Okay! If you can lift it, you don't have to wait until tomorrow. I will lift it with you now."

"I've been practicing all morning, and I can lift a thousand-jin sandbag piled up in a pile. Listen to what you mean, why do you think I can't lift this tripod?" Xiang Yu was very confused.

Zhao Zihu nodded and said: "It seems that you don't know that long-term strenuous exercise will cause muscle strain and heart and lung overload! No matter how strong you are, you can't do it. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try..."
