Competing

Chapter 255

On February 26, the first year of King Yue, Emperor Yi's ship sank, and the world was shocked.

Because the accident took place within the territory of Jiu/Jiang, King Yingbu of Jiu/Jiang was the first to get the news.

"Emperor Yi's ship sank?" Ying Bu was very surprised when he heard his subordinate Wu Cheng's report.Wu Cheng is a capable confidant of Yingbo, and he was entrusted with the task of following up and assassinating Emperor Yi this time.

Wu Cheng replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates saw it sinking in the heart of the river with their own eyes."

Yingbu Surong said: "The reason for the sinking? Have you figured it out? There are no rocks in that river, so why did the good ones sink?"

Wu Chengdao: "Your Majesty, there was fog on the river at that time. The boat behind moved too fast and collided with Emperor Yi's boat, causing the boat to enter the water. The speed of the sinking was indeed so fast that the others were too late to wait. Rescue."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yingbo asked suspiciously, "Do you think there is something wrong with it?"

Wu Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, I can't talk about the problem. I just wondered that Emperor Yi's ship was huge and buoyant. It stands to reason that even if it entered the water, it would not be so fast. The speed of the sinking ship was indeed a bit fast at that time..." Wu Cheng slightly After a pause, he added: "Unless there is a large crack in the hull, this can be caused by an impact, or it may be man-made..."

"Human?" Hearing these two words, Ying Bu showed a look of surprise, and immediately asked: "Maybe it can be verified?"

Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "It can't be done anymore, the water there is so fast that everything has been washed into the bottom of the river, leaving nothing."

Ying Bu questioned: "That means Emperor Yi's body has not been found? Could it be that death cannot be determined?"

Wu Chengdao: "If such a big river falls into the water, if there is no rescue in time, you will definitely die. It's just that the river is wide and fast, and it is already impossible to salvage and find it."

Ying Bu sneered, "What if Emperor Yi is not on that boat?"

"Impossible..." Just as Wu Cheng was about to defend himself, he suddenly remembered the half-night surveillance gap, and said, "My lord, Emperor Yi changed the time of anchoring and anchoring the day before yesterday, and due to the influence of the wind and cloud, there was a gap in the surveillance for half the night. ..."

"What?" Yingbo was startled suddenly, wondering: "Could it be that Emperor Yi escaped secretly?"

"My subordinate has neglected his duties, please forgive me!" Wu Cheng knelt down on the ground, begging Yingbo to punish him.

Ying Bu shook his head lightly, and said, "I can't blame you for this matter. Whether it's following the ship or watching on the shore, it's too far away from the ship, so mistakes are inevitable. What's more, Emperor Yi did it on purpose, and you can't do anything about it."

"Where is Yin Xu?" Ying Bo asked after being silent for a moment.

Wu Cheng replied: "At that time, King Yue was still two hundred miles away from the shipwreck!"

two hundred miles?Ying Bu had a thought. In his opinion, the shipwreck of Emperor Yi was no accident.If King Yue hadn't escaped secretly, he would have had something to do with Yin Xu.Xiang Yu had an order before him, and Yin Xu acted according to the order.

After thinking about it, Ying Bu smiled knowingly. In his opinion, Yin Xu should be responsible for this matter.It can not only kill Emperor Yi, but also clear up his own relationship.With a distance of more than 200 miles, Yin Xu cannot be accused of having something to do with it.It is the best way to solve this matter, although the bones have not been found, the possibility of surviving in the rushing river is very small.More importantly, the shipwreck of Emperor Yi died, and everyone in the world knew about it.Of course, Yingbo thought that Yin Xu was involved, but he didn't think that Yin Xu was saving people instead of killing people, because he really couldn't find a reason to save people in his heart.

Ying Bu gave an order and said, "Go to the riverside to worship in the name of the widow, and send the King of Yue away."

Of course Wu Cheng knew about the farewell that Yingbu was talking about, so he readily accepted the order.

The news of Emperor Yi's death was very important, Xiang Yu received the news just after returning to Pengcheng.

Xiang Yu looked at the letter from Zuobao and sneered triumphantly, "Xiongxin is dead!"

After Fan Zeng heard this, he habitually wondered, "Can you be sure that he is dead? Is it an accident or man-made? Who did it?"

Xiang Yu looked at the report in his hand and said: "The ship sank in the river, and there were no bones left. The report from Yingbu did not do it, and it also implied that Donglai did it. At that time, he was two miles away from Xiong Xin's fleet. Baili, with his means, it is not difficult to accomplish this."

The news of Emperor Yi's death has spread all over the world, and his bones and existence are meaningless, so Fan Zeng didn't get too entangled in this matter.The only one who was depressed was Yin Xu, who sighed and said: "Yin Xu is still cunning, he has done something but has no clue, sinking the ship... Huh, this matter has nothing to do with him, King Yue... It's a pity!"

Xiang Yu was also quite regretful, and said: "Yin Xu's letter has not yet arrived, so I don't know how he can explain it himself?"

Fan Zeng shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether you send a letter or not. He told you in such a cryptic way that he won't leave any clues. Anyway, this is the only way to understand this matter. If you want to trouble the Yue country again, you can't do it. You know. Huihuan Chu, just pay close attention to the movement of Yue State! There is no reason, Pu Jun's army is about to arrive again, so the pursuit in Jiujiang State and Yue Guo gave up, and all the subordinates were withdrawn."

Xiang Yu seemed a little reconciled, and asked, "Yafu, do you just let this matter go?"

Fan Zeng nodded helplessly and said, "If we can't get hold of Yin Xu now, it will be considered as an unknown teacher, which will be very disadvantageous to us. We have just returned to Pengcheng, and the Western Chu Kingdom has a vast territory and has not yet established a firm foothold. What's more, there is another Tian Rong is about to make a move, so it is not appropriate to use troops now. The letter to Wu Zhu and Si Yao has been sent, and the Yue Kingdom will let them make trouble on their own!"

Xiang Yu had no choice but to nod his head. What Yafu said was reasonable, so he should obey.

In the south, King Yin Xu of Yue went to the riverside to worship after learning that Emperor Yi's boat was silent.

Standing by the river, Yin Xu looked at Jiang Xin's long-disappeared boat, and his heart was full of emotion. After removing the disguise, Xiong Xin was just a child after all, lonely and pitiful, maybe he shouldn't have come to walk in the chaos This time, sending him out now and returning to his previous life is considered as the most benevolent to him.

I don't know where he will go?I don't know if he can adapt to his original life again?I hope he can be worthy of the Xiong Kang couple who have raised him for many years.Yin Xu picked up a glass of water and wine, and poured it into the torrential river. This glass was to commemorate the boatmen and attendants who died when the ship sank.

In order to save Xiong Xin, he lost many innocent lives, Yin Xu felt very guilty.But in this chaotic world, if one is not cruel, it is impossible without sacrifice.All I can do now is sigh helplessly...

Standing by the river for a long time, Yin Xu felt a little heavy. Fortunately, Su An brought good news in time, which made people feel very relieved——Pu Jun is here!
Seeing Pu Jun and Su Jiao again after several months, it feels like a lifetime away.

Yin Xu looked at the two high-spirited generals and smiled knowingly. He was the capital and confidence he relied on to survive.Now that they are here, no matter what they do, they will have more confidence and confidence.In an instant, Yin Xu's confidence was unprecedentedly high, and all difficulties seemed insignificant in front of him. Dongou and Minyue, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, everything can be easily solved...

Pu Jun and Su Jiao walked over quickly, and bowed down to salute Yin Xu.

"See Your Majesty!" The two said in unison, and the loyal ministers were overwhelmed with words.This is Yin Xu's first meeting after being made king of Yue, so the relationship between the two is unusually strong and formal, and the scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers appears here.

Yin Xu said: "Stay flat, get up quickly!" While speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them.

Pu Jun is still so young and promising. After these two years of experience, he has become more mature and stable. He has been praised by Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng and others for his prudence and prudence. They are even a little jealous. Yin Xu is so lucky to have Such a capable and extremely loyal subordinate.

Today's Pu Jun is completely able to stand alone and is worthy of a great job. At this moment, he is the most capable assistant under the King of Yue and the number one general of the Yue Kingdom.Yin Xu was very satisfied with this, and he was very pleased. He was glad that he met General Pu so early, and he was even more pleased that Pu Jun treated each other sincerely.If it were someone else, with a [-] army in hand, maybe there would be something different, but Pu Jun didn't. Instead, he made a detour to bring the army back to him. This loyalty and friendship are precious.

Although Pu Jun was as young, mighty and vigorous as ever, the exhaustion of rushing on the road was clearly visible between his brows and eyes.Pu Jun has taken on too many responsibilities along the way, and he has the most to worry about. Yin Xu is moved and grateful.

The same is true for Su Jiao on the side. The exhaustion and hard work can be seen completely. The two of them led 3 people to the south, and they had to be on guard against chasing and plotting along the way at any time.It is really not easy to be frightened and cautious all the time.

Yin Xu helped the two of them up, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work!" Yin Xu's words were definitely not for show, but sincere and moved from the heart.At this moment, there is no difference between monarch and minister, there are just a few heroes who treat each other sincerely.

Pu Jun shook his head and said, "Whatever your Majesty said, these are what we should do."

Su Jiao also nodded and said, "My Majesty is serious about the matter of my duty!"

Yin Xu nodded lightly and said: "This is a serious experience, please both of you, this heart will be engraved in my heart." Although Yin Xu did not make a promise of high-ranking officials and rich salary in the future, he did not give any vision of wealth and brocade clothes However, Pu Jun and Su Jiao knew that Yin Xu said that he would keep it in his heart, so it must be true, and they would not treat themselves badly in the future.The Xiongxin points cultivated together from the war-torn years are more precious than anything else. There is a kind of unreserved trust in it, and they are full of confidence in each other.

Yin Xu asked: "Is everything okay along the way?" Then he asked carefully about the details of all aspects, showing wireless concern for his army.

Pu Jun and Su Jiao said: "Everything was fine all the way, except..." The two told about the attack by the Wei army in the hometown of Wei State. Yin Xu smiled coldly. Such a weakening is still willing to be used by Xiang Yu.It's a pity that after all, stealing chickens won't make a lot of money, losing his wife and losing troops, and losing 1 people is not a small blow. I'm afraid that Wei Wangbao will definitely cry and mourn at this time.

Yin Xu couldn't be more satisfied with Pu Jun's actions. He is so excited to have such a general who can stand alone under his command.

But at this moment, Pu Jun suddenly knelt down in front of Yin Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this subordinate is guilty of failing to rescue Madam Yu..."

Not seeing Li Yuniang's figure, Yin Xu was already mentally prepared. Although he was sad, he couldn't feel better about blaming Pu Jun.After he has put in a lot of hard work, it is not easy to bring the army back. As for Li Yuniang, it is only his own private matter after all.

Yin Xu said: "Get up, it's not easy to rescue a person from the Wei Palace in Daliang, not to mention that she has forgotten the past and may not be willing to go with you, so you must not be blamed for this matter!"

Pu Jun didn't know what to say for a while, but the guilt in his heart didn't decrease a bit.

Yin Xu said: "Okay, tell me about the situation at that time? Is Yuniang okay now?"

Pu Jun apologized and said: "When we sneaked into Daliang City that night and wanted to rescue Madam Yu, we found that Daliang City was heavily guarded and were searching everywhere. At that time, we felt very strange. We learned from the inside line lurking in Daliang that Wei people It was Mrs. Yu who was looking for, and Mrs. Yu had already disappeared at that time."

"Missing?" Yin Xu originally thought that Li Yuniang was still in the Wei Palace, thinking about how to make a long-term plan and make another plan.But now hearing Pu Jun's report, I can't help being horrified, why did he disappear?Where did Li Yuniang go?
So he hastily asked: "Be clear, why is it called missing?"

Pu Jun knew the importance of Li Yuniang in Yin Xu's heart, and knew that the king of Yue must be very anxious at this moment, so he hurriedly explained: "Yes, it is said that Madam Yu mysteriously disappeared in the palace of Wei, and the people of Wei are also looking for it everywhere. Harvest. As for where Madam Yu went, no one knows."

Yin Xu was suddenly confused, how did Li Yuniang disappear?Did she escape by herself?Or did someone save her?What is the purpose of this person?Or maybe it was a trap by the people of Wei.Thinking back to what Xu Negative said to himself on the stargazing platform that day, Yuniang, Mrs. Bo Ji, as he said in the Wei Kingdom, should be the son of heaven. Could it be that there are other mysteries about Yuniang?what is going on?

Xiangxi plunged into the river, and there was no news for several years. Finally, they met in Daliang. Is it necessary to be separated from each other again?All of a sudden, Yin Xu felt a lot of melancholy and sadness in his heart.

Born to be the Son of Heaven... Hmph, it seems that Yuniang is also destined to suffer a lot!When the son of heaven was born... when he thought of these words, Yin Xu immediately thought of the genius girl Xu Negative who was a fortune teller. Why did she tell herself that at the Star Observatory in Daliang?
Xu Negative can enter and leave the court of Wei State at will. She has many unknown mysteries. What if she is the one who wants to rescue Yuniang?Is there such a possibility?So what is her motivation?A woman who should be born as the Son of Heaven would make many foolish things mess up, and Yin Xu's back was suddenly covered with cold sweat.

However, judging from the situation at that time, the girl Xu negative was not bad, and she seemed to be very fond of herself.Otherwise, as long as she made a soft sound that day, she would definitely be discovered by Wei Guo's guards. I don't know if Xiao Ming is still there?So if Yu Niang really cares about her, it should be safe, right?Of course, these are entirely my own guesses, and I really don't know if it is possible or not.It can only be sent to the Xu family in Wenzhou County after returning to Shanyin to find out.

Of course, someone had to be sent to look for Yuniang, sincerity and sincerity can make gold and stone, Yin Xu still believed in this sentence.He is certain that one day Yuniang will return to him safely...

Yin Xu said: "After returning to Fengguo, send someone to look for it. You have tried your best, and it is not your fault!"

Only then did Pu Jun get up apologetically, and Yin Xu asked again: "You said you were returning via South Korea? Are there any other abnormalities along the way?"

Pu Jun briefly told Yin Xu about the situation along the way. He received a warning from others that day and successfully countered Wei Guoren's sneak attack, and assigned the matter to Yin Xu.

After Yin Xu heard about it, he was immediately curious. It was really not easy for someone to help him!Who will be the master?Yin Xu asked immediately: "Did you find anything? Do you know the identity of the other party?"

Su Jiao shook his head and said, "It hasn't appeared since that night, so I don't know."

Pu Jundao: "During the passage through Han and Linjiang, the two of you didn't experience any changes. As for the borderlands of Western Chu, Xiang Yu hasn't sent troops to garrison, so it can be said that it's beyond our reach. So the rest of the journey is still calm."

Of course Yin Xu knew why Pu Jun traveled to South Korea, and it had something to do with his instructions and suggestions, and Mr. Zifang was there to take care of him.Yin Xu believes that Zhang Liang must have contributed to the reason why the army was able to safely pass through the territory of Han.Then the person who reminded him before might have something to do with him.

In the years of war and chaos, who will help you if you have no self-interest?So this warning is definitely not going to be helpful.Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Zifang is the one who can care about the safety of Yue in the Wei and Han areas of the Central Plains and is willing to help.It seems that he still understands the importance, knowing that the existence of himself and the Yue army will greatly benefit Hanwang Liu Bang!

Speaking of which, Yin Xu is still a little concerned about the Han Kingdom in Bashu. How is Liu Bang?Is Han Xin here?

Yin Xu got up and let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I'll talk about these things later, go and meet our soldiers now, and then return to our Yue Kingdom!"

The three generals Pu Jun, Su Jiao, and Su An nodded at the same time, and [-] soldiers lined up on the shore of the general, accepting the inspection of the King of Yue for the first time.

It has to be said that both Pu Jun and Su Jiao are good at training soldiers, and they are very effective in the reorganization and training of the Sanjiang soldiers.Yin Xu walked over and saw [-] neat and energetic soldiers. Although they had traveled all the way, they were still full of fighting spirit.

When seeing Yin Xu, [-] soldiers saluted together, and a huge shout sounded from the riverside: "See King Yue!"

3 people moved in unison, and the loud voice was deafening!
Satisfied, Yin Xu thought of the famous couplet: "If you work hard, you will live up to your will, and you will be able to swallow Wu with three thousand victories."Now that I have [-] elites, is it possible for someone with a heart to live up to the sky, and [-] more than a armor can swallow Chu?
