Ni Chu

Shi Lei and the soldiers lay side by side in the grass, the stars in the night sky were like naughty children blinking at them.

The two fought for half an hour, and apart from the bruises on their respective faces, neither of them got the slightest benefit.

"Boy!" Shi Lei lay on the ground, turned his head to the side panting and said to the soldiers: "You are good at it, where did you learn it?"

"Hey!" The soldier curled his lips in disdain, looked sideways at Shi Lei and said, "You have never seen the world, have you? Can this be considered a skill? My grandfather is much better than me! If he was here, three punches would be enough!" If you can beat you home, even your own mother won't recognize you!"

The soldier's words made Shi Lei feel very funny, he called the soldier "boy", but the soldier called him "big boy" in turn, obviously he didn't take him seriously as a general at all.

Coupled with the fact that the soldier said that his grandfather was very capable, Shi Lei's interest had already been aroused, he turned over and climbed up to the soldier, his face was almost pressed against his and he asked, "What's your name? What is your grandfather's name?" who?"

The soldier curled his lips, rolled his eyes at Shi Lei and said, "I don't want to change my name or surname, so does Li Xinpeng! Well, by the way, the folks used to call me 'Wood'. As for my grandfather..."

Speaking of this, the soldier's face darkened, and he said with a little sentimentality: "Anyway, you don't believe it, so don't say it!"

"How do you know that I don't believe you if you don't tell me?" Shi Lei was lying on the ground with his chin resting on his hands, listening enthusiastically, but Li Xinpeng swallowed the second half of the sentence suddenly, almost choking him, raised his hand to Li Xinpeng slapped the top of the head and scolded: "Finish your words, mother, fart. If you don't fart halfway and hold back, hurry up!"

Li Xinpeng received a slap on the head, turned over and sat up quickly, and shouted at Shi Lei as if he was going to fight: "What? Why? Still want to fight? My grandfather is General Zhao Mu, what's wrong? You Believe it or not?"

"I believe it!" Shi Lei nodded, and said sincerely: "You are so skilled, of course you may be a descendant of a famous general. It's just how you got so mixed up that you actually became a leading soldier in the Chu army!"

Li Xinpeng gave Shi Lei a blank look, and said: "The Chu people have come here, so I will be a soldier. Anyway, a soldier will not die of hunger. The people in the same army can't beat me, and the leader of the army forbids me to contact the generals." , what else can I be if I am not a big soldier? Uh, by the way, aren’t you a general? How about making me an official?”

Shi Lei was about to be outraged by Li Xinpeng. He didn't expect there to be such a heartless person. He wanted to arrest someone who was a traitor before, but now he needs someone to make him an official. He said angrily: "You wanted to arrest me just now to claim credit from Peigong, why did you ask me to make you an official?"

"You're a general!" Li Xinpeng stared at Shi Lei with wide eyes and said, "I didn't arrest you to claim credit. I don't care which woman you stole from. You affected me when you were shitting, you made me feel uncomfortable when shitting, so of course I want to catch you!"

Shi Lei rolled his eyes at Li Xinpeng, this big kid who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old really made him dumbfounded, he felt that he was already able to make troubles, but he didn't expect to meet someone even more unreasonable than him today the Lord.

In the large tent of the military camp, Xiang Ye was lying straight on the ground. If he hadn't snored like thunder from time to time, people would think he was a dead body.

Meng Su sat next to Xiang Ye, and since Xiang Ye was carried back by the soldiers, she never left.

Drunk people are most prone to lack of water. After Xiang Ye came back, she had fed him water twice, but Xiang Ye's lips were still very dry, and he would definitely need to find water to drink at night.

She can't leave, he needs her at this time.

Xiang Ye was carried back by the soldiers, and Xiang Yu was not much better.When leaving Liu Bang's barracks, Xiang Yu was carried back by four soldiers on a wooden frame like a slaughtered pig.

Meng Su sat beside Xiang Ye, looking at the sleeping Xiang Ye obsessively.Since leaving Xingyang, she has become more and more dependent on Xiang Ye. She believes that Xiang Ye is the only person in this world who can protect her, and she is also the one who should stay by his side for the rest of her life.

"General Xiang!" Meng Su was watching engrossed, when Shi Lei's strange cry came from outside the tent like killing a pig, which startled her.

She quickly got up and walked out of the tent, only to see two soldiers guarding the tent standing in front of Shi Lei and a young soldier, not allowing them to enter the tent.

Meng Su shot Shi Lei a hard look and said angrily, "What's the name of the ghost? General Xiang is already asleep."

"Oh!" Shi Lei nodded, turned around and shrugged his shoulders towards Li Xinpeng who was standing behind him, saying "It's not that I don't help you, it's that you are too unlucky".

"What are you doing looking for General Xiang so late?" Meng Su frowned. Shi Lei was making noise outside Xiang Ye's tent, which made her very unhappy. She was admiring Xiang Ye's sleeping state, but was disturbed by this black man up.

Shi Lei grumbled at Li Xin and said, "Just now I was urging outside the barracks, met this kid, had a fight with him, and found that this guy is really good at punching and kicking, so I came here to introduce him to General Xiang. But he fell asleep. Forget it, come back tomorrow!"

It wasn't until Shi Lei said that there was a fight outside that Meng Su realized that he and Li Xinpeng beside him were both bruised and bruised, and their clothes were torn and dilapidated. Said: "You go back first. General Xiang Yu was dragged into Peigong's tent by General Xiang Yu to drink today. He is now unconscious. Come back tomorrow morning."

Shi Lei had no choice but to turn around and shrugged his shoulders at Li Xinpeng, then led him away helplessly.

After dismissing Shi Lei and Li Xinpeng, Mengsu returned to Xiang Ye's tent.Xiang Ye was still in a deep sleep, and his sleeping posture was weird enough. Most people sleep on their backs or on their sides, but after Xiang Ye fell into a deep sleep, he always put on some weird and varied poses.

Mengsu just went out of the tent to talk to Shi Lei, and his sleeping position changed to his head on the ground, his buttocks sticking out high, the corners of his mouth drooping, he smacked his mouth from time to time, and then slapped him once or twice in a unique way of snoring.

Looking at Xiang Ye's unique sleeping posture, Mengsu smiled helplessly. She gently pulled Xiang Ye's chest, turned him over, and let him fall asleep on his back.

The night was getting darker and darker, and Meng Su gradually felt a little drowsy. She lay down next to Xiang Ye with her clothes on, closed her eyes, and a deep sense of sleepiness swept over her, and she fell asleep after a while.

"Be careful, set off this fire, and the task the general entrusted to us will be considered complete." In her sleep, Meng Su vaguely heard a voice coming in from outside, she turned over suddenly, drew out her long sword and rushed out of the tent out.

Just as Mengsu rushed out of the tent, a gust of night wind rushed towards him, two bright lights were shaking not far away, and three or four figures were still vaguely shaking under the bright lights.

"Who?" Mengsu yelled at those figures, and rushed towards them.

The few figures were startled when they heard someone yelling and asking, and quickly dropped their torches and rushed out into the grass outside the barracks.

Meng Su shouted loudly, alarming the night patrolling soldiers, and within a moment, more than a hundred people ran towards this side.

The weeds on the ground were quickly ignited by the torch dropped by the black shadow, and the weeds burst into flames, and they were about to spread to the nearby tents.

After the flames ignited, many officers and soldiers who had already fallen asleep were also startled by the noise outside. Many people even ran out of the camp shirtless to participate in the firefighting before they even had time to put on their clothes.

Mengsu originally wanted to chase those black shadows, but the barracks became chaotic, and the chaotic crowd blocked her sight, so she could only watch helplessly as the arsonists escaped.

After the chaos in the barracks, she was a little worried about Xiang Ye, so she turned around quickly and ran back to Xiang Ye's tent, only to see that Xiang Ye was still asleep, and the fire outside and the noise of the crowd did not affect him at all. Influence.

Meng Su shook his head helplessly, and sat beside Xiang Ye with a long sword in his arms.She didn't care about what would happen to the military camp. She was not from Chu, and she didn't have the passion of Chu people to restore the country. Even if the entire military camp was burned down, it had nothing to do with her.

All she cared about was Xiang Ye's safety, if not for Xiang Ye, she would never have stayed in Liu Bang's barracks.Unlike Xiang Ye, she doesn't know the future trend of historical development. What she sees is that under the current situation, the Jiangdong Xiang family is the real power to protect her.

Here in Liu Bang, someone who wants to kill her will come to take her life at any time.But for Xiang Ye, she is willing to stay.

The fire outside was not fierce, and it was extinguished by the awakened people after a while. Finally, Mengsu couldn't resist the attack of sleepiness, and slowly fell down beside Xiang Ye and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Bang sent someone to invite Xiang Ye and Mengsu.

Someone set fire to the barracks at night, so Liu Bang naturally couldn't sleep all night.When he learned that Meng Su was the first to discover someone arsoning, he quickly ordered someone to call Meng Xiang to the tent.

After Meng Su recounted the events of the previous night in detail, Xiang Ye's heart suddenly trembled, and he remembered the conversation he had overheard when the guards disappeared inexplicably outside Xiang's account.Back then, the guards outside Xiangqing's account were secretly assassinated by a person called "Niu Qianhu". Could it be that "Niu Qianhu" who set fire to the barracks this time?If it was him, who was the general behind him?Why do you have trouble with the Chu army?

This question lingered in Xiang Ye's mind, but he didn't tell Liu Bang who was frowning and thinking.He hadn't clarified the identity of the other party yet, and rashly suggested that it would not do him any good to let Liu Bang know that he had been in the rebel army.

Liu Bang thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh fiercely, and said as if he suddenly understood: "In my opinion, there is no one else who can do this matter. Two generals, you wait and go back and prepare. Our army will advance to Puyang and fight Zhang Han!"
