The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

In a farm in the east of Liguo County.

Outside, the cold wind whistled and made the branches rustle. But inside, it was a different scene. The blazing fire was burning, emitting bursts of heat, driving away the severe winter cold.

"This is the fine wine brewed by our Xiang family. It is fragrant, pure and sweet. Today we will eat meat and drink wine until we are drunk!"

Looking at the crowd, Xiang Liang raised his wine bowl proudly and said loudly:
"Everyone, drink as much as you want. Don't be too full!... Go get some more wine!"

The servant beside him responded: "Yes!!"

"it is good!!"

"Get drunk and then you'll rest!"

Everyone responded and the atmosphere was lively.

Xiang Yu looked around, seeing those people raising their wine bowls in high spirits, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and took a sip of wine, then placed the wine bowl heavily on the table, making a "bang" sound.

Liu Bang, who had seen this scene, moved his butt and came closer. With a smile on his face, he said, "Brother Xiang, what's wrong? There are so many guests here today, why are you not happy?"

"Humph!"

Xiang Yu glanced at Liu Bang and didn't bother to pay attention to him. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Bang and Yi Xiaochuan were sworn brothers, he would have killed them a few days ago when they were robbing food.

Xiang Yu was ashamed to associate with such a villain.

Seeing Xiang Yu's indifference, Liu Bang laughed dryly and continued, "Brother Xiang, you are Yi Xiaochuan's sworn brother, and I am also Yi Xiaochuan's sworn brother. In theory, we are brothers!"

After a pause, he took a sip of wine, looked at Xiang Yu, and said with a hint of helplessness and grievance: "I don't have any other choice... Since Yi Xiaochuan left, we have been in the mountains for more than a year. Now it's winter, and we can't survive. We can only go to the villagers' homes... to borrow food!"

However, Xiang Yu's face was still as cold as ice, and he showed no sign of buying into Liu Bang's explanation. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and his eyes became stern: "You said Yi Xiaochuan was with you before?"

"Yes! It was still there last July."

Liu Bang responded quickly, a look of reminiscence on his face. "Then a subordinate who called himself Cui Wenzi came to find him, saying that he was going to Xianyang to find Zhao Gao. But he never came back. Alas, I think my brother is in danger!"

As he spoke, Liu Bang sighed softly, his tone full of worry.

"Xianyang! Zhao Gao?"

Xiang Yu repeated these two words in a low voice, and Zhao Gao's figure reappeared in his mind. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "If he really kills my brother, I will never let him go!!"

Xiang Yu's eyes were burning with anger, as if he wanted to tear Zhao Gao into pieces. If Zhao Gao really did something bad to Yi Xiaochuan, he would make Zhao Gao pay a heavy price.

"Well, who said it wasn't?"

Liu Bang sighed, a look of helplessness on his face. "My brother wanted to do great things with me! Now... ah~"

As he spoke, he shook his head, his eyes full of loss.

"What? Yi Xiaochuan wants to do something big with you?"

Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. A complex emotion surged in his heart, there was surprise, confusion, and even a hint of anger.

"Yes!"

Liu Bang nodded and said, "My brother is a man of both civil and military talents. With his help, great things can be expected!"

"boom!"

Xiang Yu slammed the table, a nameless anger flared up, his face turned very ugly, and a sense of betrayal surged in his heart.

I have tried to persuade Yi Xiaochuan several times to join me in raising an army, but Yi Xiaochuan always avoided the question and advised me not to commit more murders... This bastard would rather follow Liu Bang, a ruffian, than follow me.

Xiang Yu's heart was filled with anger. He felt that he had been betrayed by Yi Xiaochuan. He clenched his fists tightly, making a terrifying sound, and his knuckles turned white from using too much force.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room became very tense. Everyone was shocked by Xiang Yu's actions, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiang Yu.

Liu Bang was also shocked by Xiang Yu's reaction. He didn't expect Xiang Yu to be so angry. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Yu'er, come out for a moment!"

Xiang Liang frowned slightly, waved to Xiang Yu, and then smiled kindly at everyone: "Nothing, you continue, haha!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu put down the wine bowl in his hand, stood up and followed Xiang Liang out of the house.

After leaving the door, Xiang Liang gently patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

"uncle,"

Xiang Yu did not tell Xiang Liang about Yi Xiaochuan, but said gloomily:

"Why should we be nice to these rats? And even invite them to drink!... I think they will betray us sooner or later!"

Xiang Yu's face was full of disdain, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with everyone in the room.

Xiang Liang was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I know that! Their self-esteem was destroyed by the tyrannical Qin cavalry! This gathering is just for the sake of the privately brewed wine. ... But Yu'er, you must remember that one day, they will become allies in the rebellion against Qin. You must treat your allies well, no matter how powerful you are."

Shaking his head, Xiang Yu obviously didn't care, and said coldly: "I'm afraid I don't need such an ally!"

Xiang Yu turned and walked out of the house, leaving Xiang Liang standing alone at the door.

Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu's back, shook his head helplessly, and sighed. He knew that Xiang Yu had a strong character and a high self-esteem, but he also understood that at this time, facing the tyranny of Qin, it would be difficult to achieve great things alone.

Xiang Liang was worried. He was afraid that Xiang Yu's stubbornness would bring him unnecessary trouble. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to enlighten Xiang Yu and make him understand the importance of uniting allies.

"Mr. Xiang Liang!"

"Big brother!"

"Come on, keep drinking!"

Xiang Yu turned and walked into the house, and everyone greeted Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang had a hearty smile on his face and responded with a cupped hand: "Haha, good, good!"

Then, he sat back in his seat and waved his hand proudly:

"Keep drinking, everyone!"

After taking a sip of the wine, Xiang Liang turned around and looked around, frowning slightly: "Eh? Mr. Kong from Pingyuan didn't come today? Is he sick?"

"Oh..." A man in brown clothes stood up and bowed respectfully, "Sir, you are right. My brother is indeed a little ill!"

Xiang Liang was surprised and said hurriedly, "Oh~, then take me to visit him!" The man waved his hand and declined, "No problem, no problem!"

"Brother, since Mr. Kong is fine," Xiang Bo said with a smile, "there is no need to bother you. Please take a seat and let's continue drinking!"

"In my opinion, gatherings like today's should be cancelled from now on!"

Suddenly, a strange voice came from the banquet. Xiang Liang turned his head and saw that it was the man in green cloth sitting in the middle who spoke. Xiang Liang narrowed his eyes, still smiling, but with a hint of inquiry in his smile: "If I remember correctly, the person who spoke is Mr. Peng from Huaiyang? Xiang...is there anything wrong?"

Peng Ze looked calm and spoke slowly, "Li Si has many spies, and Zhao Gao has also recruited the Black Dragon Guard... I'm sure the government has known about our gathering here for a long time!"

Xiang Liang said calmly: "So what?"

"General Xiang, you didn't say that we all understand!"

Peng Ze raised his chin slightly: "The six kingdoms have perished, and we are powerless to save them! Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, and Qin Er Shi reduced taxes and corvée labor to win the hearts of the people. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment. In a few years, I am afraid that the people will only know Qin and not the six kingdoms. Besides, they are now treating the old people of our six kingdoms with great courtesy!"

"Haha~" Xiang Bo sneered, his face full of disdain. He casually poured the wine in the bowl onto the ground, and the wine splashed onto the ground, making a crisp sound: "What a great courtesy!"

"We have clothes to wear, meat to eat, and we are not reduced to hard labor! We are all still alive!!"

Peng Ze said angrily, his eyes slightly red, and he was a little emotional: "General Xiang Bo! Isn't this the most important thing?"

"People like you are living in the tyranny of Qin!"

Xiang Bo's eyes widened with anger: "How can you face your ancestors?"

Peng Ze took a sip from his wine glass and said calmly, "You people of Chu are just trying to survive like this!!"

Xiang Bo pointed at Peng Ze, his fingers trembling slightly: "You!!"

"Mr. Peng!" Xiang Liang's eyes narrowed, and he said expressionlessly, "Watch your words!"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!"

Peng Ze sighed softly, his words full of helplessness: "When Xiang Yan was alive, he was a loyal and brave man. Now is a different time. Let's all go! We can't defeat the tyrannical Qin!"

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Everyone at the table looked at each other, helpless and worried. Some bowed their heads in thought, while others shook their heads slightly, as if they were confused about the future.

Xiang Liang looked at the crowd's reactions and couldn't help but feel nervous. He looked at Peng Ze and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Peng! Are you always going to submit to the tyrannical Qin?"

"Mr. Xiang,"

Kong Teng, who was standing by, bowed and said, "You are burdened with national hatred and family feuds, but who among you is not like this? But now the situation is over and we have no weapons. Not to mention regular weapons, even a shovel that can be used as a weapon is hard to find. All the hoes in the house are registered, and even the kitchen knives used for cutting meat have been registered."

Wei Wuji shook his head and sighed, "The Qin cavalry is invincible. If we want to compete with them, we must first have cavalry, and that requires horses. But now the status of horses in every household is registered, and even if a horse becomes pregnant and gives birth to a foal, it must be registered and reported."

“That’s right!” “That’s right!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Peng Ze stood up and bowed, saying, "I have long heard of the righteousness of the Xiang family. They will not bother with exiles like us. We are just risking our gathering here to drink some illegal liquor. We cannot defeat the tyrannical Qin, generals. I will not report you."

Xiang Liang frowned, and a look of determination suddenly flashed across his eyes. He moved his right hand slightly and quickly pulled out a sharp dagger from his sleeve.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes. Xiang Liang held the dagger tightly and thrust it forward, stabbing it into Peng Ze's heart without hesitation. The dull sound of the dagger piercing the flesh and Peng Ze's suppressed screams echoed in the air.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces changed instantly, their eyes widened, filled with fear and disbelief. Some people opened their mouths wide, but could not make any sound; some people's bodies trembled involuntarily, and they retreated in fear.

Pushing Peng Ze to the ground, Xiang Liang looked at everyone and said sternly: "This man is a coward and wants to surrender to the tyrannical Qin. We must not let him stay. As people of the six countries, we should have the determination to resist the tyrannical Qin and should not lose our will because of the temporary difficulties. Either we submit to the tyrannical Qin and live in fear; or we rise up and fight for our dignity.

I know that it is not easy to resist the tyranny of Qin. Without weapons and horses, under the strict control of Qin, every step is full of risks. But you must know that if you do not resist, you can only live under the rule of tyranny forever, losing your freedom and dignity! "

"boom!"

Seeing that everyone was still in a commotion, Xiang Bo's eyes widened with anger, and he threw the wine bowl with force. The sound of the wine bowl breaking echoed in the room, like thunder, shocking everyone.

Xiang Bo said sternly, "Don't move! This matter has nothing to do with you. Peng is to blame for his own mistakes! Then let me finish what I want to say!"

Everyone in the room was intimidated by Xiang Bo's aura. They all quieted down and their eyes involuntarily turned to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang relaxed his expression, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face, and he said slowly:
"This man is always in favor of the tyrannical Qin. I killed him not because he has different views from me. What do you mean by not reporting you? This is a matter for everyone and the world! Is not reporting you a grace for us who have lost our country? Everyone, sit down first. Some things just need to be discussed in the long run."

Seeing Xiang Liang's cold eyes, Liu Bang's eyes started to roll around. Suddenly he spoke loudly, "General Xiang is right! We can't just live in disgrace like this. How can a real man..."

Liu Bang's words were full of passionate emotions, as if he was really a hero with great ambitions. However, in his heart he was calculating how to gain the greatest benefit from this chaos.

"Mr. Xiang, let's talk about this another day. Let's talk about this another day!"

Kong Teng glanced at Liu Bang and bowed before he could finish. A trace of panic appeared on his face, and he obviously didn't want to be involved in this dangerous discussion anymore. Then he ran out of the house.

"We'll discuss this another day!"

"We'll discuss this another day!"

The rest of the people bowed and hurriedly followed Kong Teng out of the house. Like frightened sheep, they just wanted to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

But as soon as the group of people arrived at the door, they saw Xiang Yu standing there with a murderous look in his eyes.

Xiang Yu's eyes were full of anger and determination, like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey at any time.

Everyone was startled and stopped involuntarily. They knew that Xiang Yu was extremely powerful and no one could resist him once he got angry. At this time, everyone was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Yu'er!" Just as Xiang Yu and the others were in a stalemate, Xiang Liang sighed deeply, waved his hand slowly, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Let them go!!"

Xiang Yu heard this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he still obeyed his uncle's order, looked at everyone with disdain, and raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "A bunch of cowards."

"Go! Go! Go!!"

"Let's go!"

Everyone ran out as if they had been pardoned, their steps hurried and panicky, as if something terrible was chasing them.

Xiang Yu looked at the backs of the people fleeing in panic and said, "Uncle, I told you, they are just a bunch of rabble..."

Before Xiang Liang could open his mouth to respond, panicked shouts from people outside the house suddenly came.

"Qin Jun!"

"The Qin army is coming!!"

"Run!!!"

"Ah~~"

The shouting outside the door was full of fear and despair, which made Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in the room feel nervous.

Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to fight at any time. Xiang Liang's face also became solemn, and he hurried to the door.
