Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 252
Kuai Che hurried to catch up, and when he reached Fengling Ferry, he was half a step too late. He had just arrived at the ferry when he saw Bi Shu boarding a magnificent boat. He didn't care, he untied the cable and tapped lightly on the pier with the wooden pole, the big boat had already swung away from the river bank.

"Brother who is learning swordsman, please stay, stay!" Kuaiche shouted repeatedly by the Lema River.

Bi Shu, dressed in white and standing on the bow of the boat, looked at the dozen or so Huainan soldiers behind Kuai Che with stern expressions and murderous looks, and said to Kuai Che with a smile: "Brother Zitong, don't bother to send him away, haha. "

Kuai Che's heart was full of pain, and he said again: "Where do you want to go, my brother who is a swordsman?"

"My little brother plans to go to Jiangdong to have a look." Bi Shuchong bowed to Kuaiche from a distance, and said with a smile, "I used to be in Luyi, thank you brother for your kind hospitality, and my brother also appreciates his kindness, but my little brother's fortune is shallow and he has no chance to serve Huainan Wangzhang I felt ashamed to live up to my elder brother's good intentions, hehe."

Kuai Che frowned, and was about to turn around and order a dozen or so Huai army elites behind him to shoot and kill Bi Shu, when suddenly a man like an iron tower stepped out of the cabin of the big ship opposite, and the man only stood on the bow, and then he was like The majestic body like a mountain lair protects Bi Shu behind him, but he has no chance to shoot Bi Shu.

When Kuai Che wanted to order the accompanying officers to send the nearby Huainan navy to enter the river to chase after him, several huge sails had already been hoisted on the big ship opposite. The big boat began to speed up in an instant, and within half a cup of tea time, it had already sailed into the heart of the river and it was hard to see clearly.

In this situation, when the Huainan navy is transferred, Bi Shu should have crossed the river and landed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that such a national scholar can't work with him, it's a pity, it's really a pity." Kuai Che sighed, and then his face was frosted again, and he said worriedly, "After finishing the book, I will go to Chu, and if I don't serve as an official, I will let it go." , if you become an official, you will eventually become a confidant of my Huainan country, a confidant, alas..."

Half a year ago, Qu'a opened a new restaurant, and it soon became a holy place for drinkers from all over the world. It's nothing else, because the soju sold in this restaurant is clear and transparent, mellow and thick, but the strength of the wine is far better than other restaurants The amount of water and wine sold is ten times that of other wine shops.

In the corner of the lobby, Bi Shu is drinking alone according to the case. It's not that he likes to be lively. In fact, there are no such facilities as private seats in wine shops in this era. It doesn't matter what your status is, whether you are a prince, a noble, or a pawn, as long as you can afford it Money can sit in the hall majesticly, drinking and talking at the same time.

Once again, he drank the wine in the small cup in one gulp, Bi Shubu repeatedly praised the wine.

Back then in Pengcheng, the Jiangdong businessman named Qu Bucai told him that a kind of mellow and strong wine appeared in Jiangdong recently. He didn’t believe it. , I don't think this is actually true, considering the quality of this wine, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is fine wine.

Smacking his lips, Bi Shu held up the small wine jug to pour another glass of wine into his own small wine glass, but found that the wine jug was empty, and immediately raised his head and shouted: "Jiu Niang, I want another jug!"

At that moment, a beautiful wine lady stepped forward, but she said very tactfully: "Master, I'm really sorry, we have a rule here, no matter what the identity of the guest, we can only sell two pots, son, you already I've drank two pots, if I want to drink again, I can only ask early tomorrow, I'm really sorry."

Bi Shu was dumbfounded when he heard the words, wondering if there is such a rule here?

But after thinking about it, he was relieved. If such fine wine was sold without limit, it would probably be snatched up by drunkards from all over the country early in the morning. By this time, how could there be any extra wine left for him, a foreigner? drink?
Shaking his head, when Bi Shu was about to get up, a clear voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Jiu Niang, bring two more pots for this young master, and it will be counted on the next head."

"Okay, three young masters, please wait a moment." Jiu Niang agreed, turned and left.

Only then did Bi Shu turn around, and saw that there were two young people beside him. The man in front looked to be 26 or [-] years old at most, but he had already grown a thick short beard on his lips. Just standing there casually, but giving people a strong aura of looking down on the world, obviously not ordinary people.

The man behind is even more handsome, dressed in white, tall and tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, he is a handsome scholar, Bi Shu thinks he is also a handsome man, but compared with the one in front of him, he is slightly inferior It's all right, but it's already late autumn, and the fan is still waving in his hand, which is a bit abrupt.

While Bi Shu was looking at it, the handsome young man in front spoke first: "The so-called meeting is fate. If this brother doesn't dislike it, how about having a drink with the next brother?"

"It's a great honor." Bi Shu smiled slightly, and said to the two, "Brothers, please."

Immediately, the three of them moved over the wine table and sat facing each other in the shape of "pin". After a while, the bartender brought six pots of shochu and placed them on the desks of the three of them respectively. Bi Shu couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly. These two drinkers are indeed not ordinary people. Others only have a limit of two pots a day, but when it comes to them, this is an exception.

After three cups of wine, Lu Fan Scholar suddenly asked: "This brother is not from Jiangdong, right?"

"Of course not." Bi Shu shook his head and said, "My ancestor was born in the State of Lu, but he was born in the State of Qi, grew up in the State of Zhao, and studied in the State of Yan for more than [-] years. I don't know where it is from." After saying this, Bi Shu continued, "It made the two brothers laugh."

Lu Fan Scholar looked back at the young man Yinglang, and said: "So, Xiongtai is a well-learned man?"

"You can't be a well-educated person." Bi Shu waved his hand and said, "It's just a few books."

The Lu Fan Scholar shook his Lu Fan, and suddenly asked, "I don't know what your brother thinks about Chu's national examination?"

A playful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Bi Shu's mouth, and he said immediately: "I heard a little about the national examination of Chu State on the way down to Jiangdong, and I don't know much, and my opinion may not be correct. Don't make jokes." After finishing speaking, before the two people on the other side spoke, Bi Shu said again, "I think that King Xiang's move has other motives."

Young Yinglang's expression remained unchanged, but Lu Fan Scholar changed slightly and asked, "How do you say that, brother?"

Bi Shu smiled slightly and said: "The national examination will have many benefits in the long run. First, it can attract a large number of scholars from Jiangbei to come to Chu to take the exam. Second, it can discover a large number of poor families. In time, there will be talents in Chu. If King Xiang can make good use of the weather at its peak, he will definitely achieve some hegemony, but..."

The Yinglang youth couldn't help nodding his head repeatedly, but the Lufan youth said, "But what?"

Bi Shu raised his wine glass and took a sip, and said, "However, I think that the original intention of King Xiang's move is to weaken the influence of the Jiangdong gentry and reduce obstacles to the implementation of new laws in the future."

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the handsome youth and the lufan youth changed at the same time.

Longxi, the camp of the Han army.

As soon as Zhang Liang returned to his Xingyuan, he smelled a faint fragrance floating in the air, his expression moved slightly, he cupped his fists and bowed to Xingyuan and said, "Junior Sister, when did you arrive?"

"Brother, my little sister has only arrived not long ago."

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful figure walked out from the shaft, and saw that the skin was more beautiful than the snow, the red lips were like fire, the figure was slim, and the body was long, but she was a peerless beauty with a charming look. Zhang Liang stroked Nodding his willow beard, he admired sincerely: "Junior Sister, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you have become more and more beautiful."

This woman is none other than Junior Sister Zhang Liang, Xu Ling.

"Senior brother, I'm honored." Xu negative smiled, and said again, "Senior brother, you look pretty good."

Zhang Liang waved his hand and asked: "Junior Sister suddenly came to Longxi from Xianyang, but there is a celestial phenomenon reporting to the King of Han?"

Xu negative shook his head, a strange look suddenly appeared on his pretty face, and then he returned to normal and said: "Senior brother, my little sister came to Longxi this time, but she came to bid farewell to the King of Han and senior brother."

"Farewell?" Zhang Liang asked in amazement, "But I don't know where Junior Sister is going?"

Xu Ling looked back leisurely, staring at the brilliant starry sky in the southeast direction, and said: "My little sister watched the sky at night and found that the stars of Wenqu appeared in the southeast, and it seemed that a great sage had entered the world, so my little sister wants to go to the southeast, maybe I can recruit wise men for the King of Han Only, in this way, Hanwang Baye has another great help, and the senior brother doesn't have to work so hard like now."

"Southeast?" Zhang Liang nodded, and said leisurely, "That's the state of Chu."

Xu Negative said: "Brother, it may not be the Chu country, it may also be the Huainan country."

Zhang Liang smiled, and suddenly asked again: "Junior Sister, I don't know when you plan to leave?"

Xu Negative replied: "Little sister wants to bid farewell to the King of Han now, and then leave for the southeast as soon as possible."

"Forget it, Junior Sister, come along with my brother." Zhang Liang nodded, and then he brought Xu Negative towards Liu Bang Xingyuan.

Entering the Xingyuan, after narrating the ceremony, Xu Negative explained the purpose of his visit straight away. Hearing that Xu Negative was going to travel far away, Liu Bang couldn't help showing his reluctance and fascination. To be honest, Liu Bang coveted Xu Negative's beauty for a long time. It's just that Xu negative is a well-known yin and yang master in the world, Liu Bangweigong offended Xu negative and ruined his imperial spirit, so he never dared to make mistakes.

The ancients were superstitious, and they respected and feared the yin and yang masters who knew astronomy and geography from the top. Even though Liu Bang is a hero in the world, he dared not easily offend a yin and yang master like Xu negative!

Now that he heard that Xu Negative was going to travel far, and most likely to go to Jiangdong, Liu Bang suddenly became concerned about gains and losses.

It should be known that Xiang Zhuang, King of Chu in Jiangdong, is also a hero, and he is young and strong. His attraction to Xu Negative is undoubtedly far greater than that of an old man over fifty years old. Liu Bang is very worried. Maybe she will help Xiang Zhuang cut off Liu Bang's imperial aura, that's a big deal.
