Competing

Chapter 114 Funeral Arrangements
The female assassin stood there blankly, without moving a step, and after a long time she pulled off the black cloth covering her face, revealing a pretty face.The tears in the corners of the eyes are still there, and there is too much sadness and hatred in the eyes.

Ye, the niece of Sanchuan County Sheriff's Reason, has been worried since Li You led the army out that day.Hearing that Yongqiu was under siege, he was even more worried about sleeping and eating during the fierce battle.Until later, the city of Yongqiu was broken and Li You died in battle, and the news spread to Sanchuan County.His teacher Zhong Yin knew her temperament well and got Li You's entrustment, so he did everything possible to hide the news of Li You's death from her.Although they were very careful, they couldn't hide the fire after all, and they couldn't hide the ghost from Midnight.

After hearing the news of his uncle's death, Ziye only felt that he had lost his last family member and was deeply lonely.Thinking of what Li You had done for him, he was very sad, and when he learned that his uncle died under Xiang Yu's halberd, hatred welled up in his heart.All he wanted was to kill Xiang Yu and avenge his uncle.Zhong Yin had expected such an incident, so he stopped her all the time, and even sent someone to watch her.

Ziye is eager for revenge, how can he stand it?While no one was paying attention, he found an opportunity to sneak out and headed straight for Pengcheng.After finding out that Li You's body was stored behind the morgue, she sneaked in to see her uncle for the last time, and the fire of hatred in her heart was burning again.Therefore, he went to Wu Xinjun's mansion without hesitation, wanting to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Xiang Yu for revenge.

As a result, Yin Xu happened to be passing by and stopped him.They also accidentally discovered the relationship between each other, Duan Shui and Fan Yilan.Yin Xu didn't hurt her, and let her go calmly, only then did she realize that she was reckless.Inexperienced, he was followed without realizing it, and accidentally leaked information during his speech, but fortunately, he did not attract any danger.

It wasn't until Yin Xu wandered away that Zi Ye knew his identity, that he was actually a leading young general in the Chu army.Dong Yi was defeated, he crossed the Hebei River and raided Puyang, and Dingtao rescued people from under Zhang Han's eyelids in the first battle. These deeds have been spread and known to the world.

It turned out to be him, at this moment Ziye felt that this young General Yin deserved his name.Let's not talk about his outstanding achievements, but Fan Yilan can give him the water-breaking sword, so you know that this person is extraordinary.In Shangjun in the past, she had many contacts with Fan Yilan, and they were like sisters.She knew that this young lady of the Fan family was born in a wealthy family, she was extremely beautiful in the world, intelligent and capable, and her vision was extremely high.There are very few men in this world who she can see in her eyes.

Yin Xu was attracted by her, and she also gave him the precious and unusual Water Breaking Sword that Meng Tian gave him, which shows that this person is extraordinary, and Zi Ye believes in Fan Yilan's vision.She also believes that Yin Xu saved her today, but before she was blinded by hatred, she was too impulsive because she was only thinking about revenge.With his own strength, Xiang Yu couldn't be killed at all.

One can imagine how tight the defense of Wu Xinjun's mansion would be, with so many generals, and even his uncle Li You couldn't beat Xiang Yu, how could he be an opponent?If Yin Xu hadn't stopped him, he would have become a dead soul under the sword or a prisoner at this moment.

The evening wind blew, and the chill was blowing. The wayward girl turned and left.

Three days later, King Huai of Chu moved his capital from Xuyi to Pengcheng. Generals and officials of the Chu army headed by Song Yi came out of the city to greet him.

Not seen for several months, the young Xiong Xin looks even more mature, and his expression is more determined.Yin Xu observed carefully, and saw a bit of heaviness and worry in his eyes, which was naturally caused by the great pressure of Xiang Liang's death.

In addition to Song Yi's bewitching reasons for not killing Tian Jia, he was also responsible, which led to Tian Rong's refusal to send troops and Xiang Liang's death in Ding Tao.Speaking of this matter in detail, Xiong Xin should bear some responsibility to some extent. In fact, Xiang Yu also believes so.Another point is that the death of Xiang Liang over there broke the balance of power among the powerful officials of Chu State. Under the current situation, he had to rely more on Song Yi, which backfired and was not what he wanted.

Along with Yingbo, Wu Mei gave birth to a son the month before yesterday, becoming a father for the first time, and Yingbo couldn't say how happy he was.However, Xiang Liang died in battle, and the heavy atmosphere in Pengcheng diluted the joy in his heart a lot. Seeing Yin Xu in the crowd, he planned to catch up with the brothers.

Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, also rushed back to Pengcheng in time. He returned triumphantly after capturing Chen Liu, but in view of the current situation in Pengcheng, he appeared to be very low-key and did not dare to make too much publicity.This battle not only captured the city, but what made Liu Bang even more happy was that Ha brought back a talent-Li Shiqi.

Li Shiqi, Gaoyang Township, Chenliu County, Qin Dynasty.He was addicted to drinking when he was young, and he often wandered around in wine shops, calling himself a Gaoyang drinker.Liu Bangbing entered Chenliu and attacked the city without visiting. He searched for local heroes and met Li Shiqi.At the age of sixty, he can be said to be "scholars grow old, opportunities come", and offered a plan to capture Chen Liu.Yes, Liu Bang's strength in terms of soldiers, food and grass has been greatly improved.His younger brother Li Shang can be called a general in Liu Bang's army.Pei Gong had great ambitions, and immediately named Li Shiqi the Lord of Guangye.

Yin Xu saw that his beard and hair were half white, and his face was deeply wrinkled. Although he was old, he was hale and hearty, quite similar to Fan Zeng.Especially a pair of eyes, deep and far away, one look becomes a wise and far-reaching counselor's talent.Yin Xu also heard that he has outstanding eloquence, and he is good at speaking with a three-inch tongue.

The first thing Xiong Xin did when he entered the city was not to go to the palace to stay. On the way, he suddenly ordered: "Go to Wu Xinjun's mansion, the widow is going to pay homage to Xiang Qing's family!"

Song Yi's face was a bit unnatural, it was reasonable for King Chuhuai to pay homage to Xiang Liang, but he just entered the city, and rushed away without even visiting the palace, which made his face quite dull.Xiang Yu and others felt a sense of disgust from the bottom of their hearts. After all, King Huai of Chu was an accomplice.It's just that the monarch and his ministers are different, and they are still in the name of paying homage to their uncle, how can they be turned away.No matter how unhappy you are in your heart, you have to pretend to be like a spring breeze on your face, and Wang En is mighty.

When he came to the mourning hall, King Huai of Chu ordered people to read the sacrificial oration. It seemed that he had prepared it long ago, but he just wrote the same words.Then eunuchs were sent to offer incense and sacrifices.Liu Bang, Yingbo and other princes who had just arrived in Pengcheng then came forward to worship.For a moment, there was a fake mourning sound in the mourning hall, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

King Huai of Chu said in a deep voice: "Xiang Qing's family died fighting for our Great Chu, and Great Chu lost an important minister of the Zhu Kingdom! I am very sad!"

The sadness is true, but it is not for Xiang Liang but for himself.There is a bit of hypocrisy in the words, and a bit of truth is obvious.I just listened to him continue: "Now is the time when I am in great danger, and I would like to ask you to express your condolences and get up early to kill the Qin people and avenge Xiang Qing's family. As for the funeral of Xiang Qing's family, the widow has already ordered too much. Choose an auspicious date, and choose a feng shui treasure cave near Pengcheng to build a cemetery!"

These words from Xiong Xin's mouth are kindness, and Xiang Yu expresses his gratitude with a complicated mood.

"The soldiers of Great Chu who died in battle were also buried together, and we will show great sympathy to their families!" Xiong Xin paused and added another sentence.

Tai Chang Ling, who accompanied him, asked: "Report to Your Majesty, I heard that Qin General Li You's body is also in Pengcheng, how should we deal with it?"

Song Yi said unceremoniously: "The evil generals of the Qin Dynasty, the violent corpses in the wilderness, and the beasts to feed themselves, what is there to ask." There is no doubt that the words are frivolous and indifferent, and he is too often speechless Come.

Yu Ziqi retorted: "Although Li You was a general of Qin, he was considered a hero with his bravery and unyielding, heroic death in battle and on the battlefield. How can we treat him narrowly? We thought that he could be transported back to his hometown Shangcai for burial and sent to the Qin State. Show our big Chu's mind and grace!"

Although Xiang Liang died and was injured by the Qin people, it was not directly related to Li You. Moreover, this matter had already been decided, so Xiang Yu couldn't say much.

Xiang Yu didn't object to it. You, Song Yi, have nothing to say. King Huai of Chu nodded and said, "If that's the case, let Cai be buried generously!"

Tai Changling said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I have to prepare for the funeral of Lord Wu Xin and bury the officers and men. There are not enough manpower. I'm afraid Li You can't take care of it!" General, simply asked once and asked King Huai of Chu to help solve it.

King Huai of Chu frowned, and asked casually: "Let's change someone else, which Qing family would like to go?"

There was no sound in the mourning hall, and the burial of a Qin general was just to highlight the courtesy and kindness of Chu, and it was not a good job.What's more, burying the dead is a bad job after all, who is willing to take the initiative?

Seeing that no one answered, Yin Xu came out and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

PS: Xiangliang's tomb is actually located in the south of Liuzhuang Village, Godui, two kilometers northeast of Dingtao County. It was buried directly after Dingtao was killed in battle. The plot needs to be changed to Pengcheng.
