Ni Chu

Faced with Mengsu's questioning, Xiang Ye also felt a little confused.When Li Feng stabbed Mengsu with the sword, his mind was completely blank, and he rushed over to block her without thinking too much.

In fact, he didn't know why he did that, he and Li You didn't have a deep friendship, the relationship between them was nothing more than Li You knew Chi Xue'e, and he and Chi Xue'e had been on the same road.

"Why don't you talk?" Xiang Ye didn't speak, but Meng Su didn't intend to let him go. She took a step forward, her face was almost pressed against Xiang Ye's and asked, "Are you really doing nothing but doing something to Mr. Li?" Is there no other reason to protect me besides the promise?"

Xiang Ye raised his head, and he saw that Mengsu's eyes were full of tears, and his face was also full of tears.

He smiled slightly, raised his hand to wipe Mengsu's tears, and said to her softly: "Mengsu, I don't know why I rushed to block you at that time, maybe it was just a conditioned reflex, don't you Think too much, stay here well, don't perform too well, otherwise you will be jealous of those who care about you, understand?"

"No!" Meng Su shook his head desperately, threw his head into Xiang Ye's arms, sobbed and said to him: "Xiang Ye, after so many days, I have already thought about it, our Meng family has been slaughtered by everyone, Even if I go back to Xianyang and really kill Zhao Gaoman's family, grandfather and father will never come back to life. No matter where you are, I will go with you. I am willing to be your woman. As long as you don't abandon me, I will live forever. I will never leave you!"

Meng Su suddenly threw himself into his arms, and Xiang Ye was a little caught off guard. His two arms were spread wide like the wings of an airplane, and his eyes became a little confused. He didn't know what to do for a while.

Mengsu leaned her head on Xiang Ye's shoulder. She was too tall, almost shoulder-to-shoulder with Xiang Ye, so she could only put her head on Xiang Ye's shoulder, and hugged his back tightly with her hands.

"Hold me." Just when Xiang Ye was at a loss, Mengsu whispered in his ear, "I want you to hold me."

Xiang Ye hesitantly put his hands around Mengsu's back, his palms could clearly feel the heat radiating from Mengsu's body, but he never dared to hug her tightly.

"Hold me!" Mengsu tightened the arms holding Xiang Ye again, she hugged him very hard, even Xiang Ye was a little out of breath by her hug.

Xiang Ye tightened his arms obediently, and hugged Mengsu tightly in his arms.

Both of them were wearing thick leather armor, and they didn't feel too close together, but Mengsu still held Xiang Ye tightly and refused to let go...

That night, Xiang Ye didn't sleep well, and all he could think of was Mengsu's shadow.Mengsu, who had always been very strong in his eyes, actually leaned on his shoulder and cried, and what was crying was pear blossoms with rain, and what was crying was delicate and charming.

His heart softened, and he softened at that time. He didn't know whether the decision to leave Mengsu alone in Liu Bang's barracks was right or wrong.

Xiang Ye knew very well that he would definitely leave Liu Bang in the future. There was only one reason. Liu Bang was destined to eradicate all the heroes who threatened his throne after winning the throne. He didn't like such people, and it was impossible for him to fight for them world.

If he had a choice, he would choose Xiang Yu.In his mind, Xiang Yu is a real hero, a nobleman with noble blood, but Xiang Yu is doomed to fail in the future, destined to become a stepping stone for Liu Bang's hegemony.

Xiang Ye is a bloody person, and also a person who values ​​friendship and commitment, but he is also a person who knows how to survive.If he was asked to rely on his preferences and decide to take refuge in Xiang Yu when he knew that Xiang Yu would fail, he would definitely not want to, unless objective conditions forced him to do so.

Xiang Ye, who was full of random thoughts, fell asleep in a daze when the cock crowed all over his head.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but Xiang Ye, who was sleeping, heard the sound of a horn, and quickly turned over and sat up, startling the two soldiers who were bringing water into his room.

"Why is the horn blowing outside?" Xiang Ye asked the two soldiers who had just put down the barrel while putting on his shoes after getting up.

Two soldiers bowed their bodies, and one of them said: "General Qi, General Xiang Yu is gathering the entire army, and the entire army will be dispatched today."

"Oh!" Xiang Ye nodded, and then asked, "Have General Mengsu and General Shi Lei started?"

"Get up!" It was the same soldier who answered his question: "The two generals are already waiting outside, just waiting for General Xiang."

Xiang Ye didn't speak anymore, got up and took the cloak, the soldiers stepped forward to help him put on the cloak neatly, and then he put his hands on the hilt of his sword and walked out of the room in a mighty posture.

Arriving at the school grounds together with Mengsu Shi Lei, the three of them discovered that the entire army had already assembled, and Liu Bang was also leading a group of civil servants and generals waiting here.

As soon as Xiang Ye appeared on the school field, Liu Bang greeted him.

Seeing Liu Bang welcoming him, Xiang Ye, Meng Su, and Shi Lei hurriedly bowed and cupped their fists to salute him, and said at the same time: "I will meet Pei Gong in the end."

"Hehe." Liu Bang smiled at the three of them very honestly, raised one hand and said: "The three generals are exempt."

After finishing speaking, he reached out to hold Xiang Ye's hand and said, "General Xiang, the whole army is ready to go, please give orders!"

Xiang Ye hastily withdrew the hand held by Liu Bang, bowed and saluted him again, and said, "Pei Gong, I really don't dare to be the last general of Hussar General. I hope that Pei Gong will withdraw my post and appoint another capable general." man of."

"Oh?" Liu Bang pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why did General Xiang say that? It's a taboo in the army to change generals. This matter must not be mentioned again!"

Xiang Ye was taken aback for a moment, he originally thought that Liu Bang would readily agree to his request for Liu Bang to replace him, but unexpectedly he was flatly rejected, and he stood there immediately, not knowing what to do.

In fact, after wandering around with Shi Lei, Lu Zhi had already fed back Xiang Ye's thoughts to Liu Bang. Before Liu Bang knew about this, he also discussed with Xiao He, Fan Kui and others, and he would gradually take Xiang Ye aside in the future march. , let him have a job but no power.

Xiang Ye offered to resign from the position of Hussar General, which was exactly what Liu Bang wanted.But he couldn't agree to Xiang Ye's request on the spot, and he was named Hussar General the day before. If he was dismissed the next day, it would not be a big deal to Xiang Ye, anyway, he didn't want to be here. To continue working on the position, but for Liu Bang, it is a major event that will make the whole army think that he has changed his orders day and night and has no credibility at all.

Liu Bang knew this very well, but Xiang Ye didn't expect it.

Seeing that Xiang Ye was standing there in a daze, Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Since General Xiang has no intention of leading the army, the whole army will still be led by Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and other generals. As for General Xiang and Meng and Shi General, just stay by my side, learn to lead the army in the future, and then command the whole army!"

As soon as Liu Bang said these words, Xiang Ye realized that Liu Bang had considered more carefully than he had.Liu Bang not only considered how to reduce his military power, but also how to explain to the whole army, so as not to give the truth to others.

When the army left Chengyang, Liu Bang's army followed Xiang Yu's army.When it was Xiang Ye's turn to leave the city, Xiang Yu had already gone a long way.Xiang Ye didn't see the legendary God of War figure, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed.

In fact, Xiang Ye didn't know that it was precisely because the two armies set off at different times that he passed by two people he always thought were dead.

I don't know if Xiang Yu deliberately slowed down his journey or encountered troubles ahead, the Chu army advanced very slowly, and it was not until dark that the army marched less than fifty miles.

After the army stopped, Xiang Yu's army and Liu Bang's army were stationed on both sides of the road.

There were weeds everywhere on both sides of the road. After the soldiers set up their tents, they spread a large piece of sackcloth in the tents of Xiang Ye, Mengsu and other generals, and covered and compacted the grass with the sackcloth.

The grass is covered with sackcloth, and it is soft and comfortable to walk on. It feels a bit like a carpet after more than 2000 years, even more comfortable than a carpet.

After entering the tent, Xiang Ye took off his armor, lay flat on the ground, and stretched comfortably.

He had just closed his eyes and was about to have a good night's sleep when he heard someone outside the tent shout: "Catch the spies, the spies from the Qin army are here!"

Hearing the shout, he got up straight away. He was not worried about the threat the spies would pose to the army. The history he knew had already told him that this army would go all the way into Guanzhong. Withdrew only after a fiasco.

What he was worried about was Mengsu. If the so-called spies of the Qin Army did not come to spy on information, but Zhao Gao sent assassins to murder Mengsu, he had to be very careful with him.

Regardless of putting on the armor, Xiang Ye raised his long sword and jumped out of the tent.After jumping out of the tent, he saw Mengsu and Shi Lei standing outside their respective tents, and shouted to Shi Lei: "Shi Lei, take care of Mengsu, I'll go after the spies!"

Before Shi Lei could agree, Xiang Ye had already jumped on his horse and rushed towards the crowd chasing the spies.

After all, Chiji was not an ordinary war horse, so after a while, Xiang Ye caught up with the Chu army who were chasing the spies.After surpassing these Chu troops, he saw a man running wildly in front of him with a long halberd in his hand.

Seen from the back, the man was as strong as an iron tower, and he was not an ordinary character at first glance, which made Xiang Ye firmer in his idea that he was sent by Zhao Gao to assassinate Mengsu.

The horse that the person in front was riding was running very fast, almost as fast as Xiang Ye's red steed.

Seeing that the distance between him and the man could not be shortened, Xiang Ye couldn't help being anxious, so he raised his legs and pinched the horse's belly hard. Chiji was in pain, and with a long hiss, he accelerated his running speed again.

The two of them galloped forward, one behind the other, and within a short while, they had already thrown the Chu army who followed them far away.

Just when Xiang Ye was feeling annoyed that Chiji could not catch up to the opponent, the person in front suddenly reined in his horse, and stood in front of Xiang Ye with his back to Xiang Ye holding a long halberd like an iron tower.
