Competing

Chapter 80
King Huai of Chu was restored, and the anti-Qin momentum in Chu land became higher and higher, and the people of Qin could no longer sit still.With the support of Qin Ershi and Zhao Gao, the Qin army quickly mobilized its soldiers, horses, food and grass.Zhang Han, the general of Puyang who was sitting in the town, finally made a move. The army was mobilized and pointed at Chu.

Dong Yi led an army of [-] troops across to Shangqiu, and Sima Xin's [-] troops went south to Fuyang, approaching Xuyi, the capital of Chu.At the same time, the fast horse passed by, and the edict of Qin II and the letter of Zhang Han were sent to Sanchuan County.

In Sanchuan County Governor's Mansion, a man with a strong physique and exuding mighty arrogance was holding a scroll of bamboo slips.I saw his eyes were piercing, looking intently, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.This person is Li You, the eldest son of Li Si, the former Prime Minister of Qin State, and the governor of Sanchuan County.He did not inherit his father's career as a civil official, but chose the cavalry and archery military method, and now he is also a majestic official in the frontier.

Apart from Li You, there was only an old man with white beard and hair in the room. He stroked his goatee and asked, "General, what's the good news?"

Li You said with a smile: "That's right, General Zhang Han wrote to His Majesty, asking me to send troops to Yongqiu to conquer the Chu rebels."

The old man was pleasantly surprised, and said in amazement: "Over there in Xianyang... Zhao Gao actually agreed?"

Li Youdao: "The general sent a letter to His Majesty, recruiting me, and Zhao Gao agreed. It is estimated that Wang Ming, Chen Zong should also be ordered by Xianyang at this time."

The old man said: "That's good, it's better than being trapped in Sanchuan County and being suspected by others. As long as the battle is successful and the rumors are self-defeating, what else can Zhao Gao say?"

Li You smiled wryly and said: "I hope, the Qing Dynasty will be cleared by itself. I am a general of the Great Qin Dynasty, and I should do my duty. It is good to have a clear conscience. I am just worried about Ziying... If it is not the father..." Speaking of this, Li You Bow down, speechless.

The old man understood Li You's helplessness, and couldn't help but sighed: "General, the matter of the Prime Minister... The reason why Zhao Gao is afraid of the General is largely because of the Prime Minister. If outsiders see it this way, after all, father and son love each other deeply, let alone the matter has passed , Xiangye also suffered because of this. General, please take it easy and stop worrying about it."

Li You sighed: "What Juzi said is true, but every time I see Ziye, I can't convince myself. Although the eldest sister left early, Ziying and Ziye are always the grandsons of the Li family. How can he bear it? Is the throne of prime minister really more important than family affection? He is my father, I don't want to resent, but I can't forgive..."

"Father's debt is repaid. I thought about saving Ziye and his sister to make amends, but it was a step too late. Ziying still fell into Zhao Gao's hands. If something happened to him, how could he have the face to meet Fusu and eldest sister in the future. So I can only love Ziye more, and it will make me feel better!" While speaking, Li You's eyes were already wet, and tears of heroes fell.

The old man's name is Zhong Yin, he is the current wealthy son of the Dengling family of Momen, and his claim is approved by Fusu.Therefore, he has been with him all the time, as his staff and followers.It wasn't until after Fusu's death that Zhong Yin and Li You rescued Ziye together that they came to Sanchuan County.

Zhong Yin was speechless, maybe he was wrong, he shouldn't have brought this past event ahead of time, and touched Li You's heartache.Alas, it's also because of Li Si I's famous name that he was so confused when he was old. After Qin Shihuang's death, he chose to join forces with Zhao Gao in the selection of his successor.Because of his different political views, he was worried that Meng Tian would snatch the position of prime minister, so he even pretended to push his son-in-law to a dead end, and also implicated his two grandsons.The quarrel was too late, the father and son turned against each other, and finally they were decapitated, alas!
Fusu's death wiped out Deng Lingmo's political ambitions, Zhong Yin was sad for a long time because of this, and once hated Li Si deeply.But when he heard that Li Si was beheaded in Xianyang, the hatred in his heart faded a lot.With the passage of time, it gradually disappeared, but Li You has been unable to let go of it.Perhaps worldly affairs are mixed with personal feelings, which makes it much more complicated.

Zhong Yin sighed and turned around, only to see a young girl standing at the door.The girl is handsome and extraordinary, she is wrapped in a moon-white samurai uniform, highlighting her graceful figure, her small fist is tightly clenched with the dagger in her hand, she is slim and graceful.Different from the watery and lively women in the south, this woman is more handsome and graceful.Maybe it's the growth and the Northwest, a little more vitality and enthusiasm, and a little bit of innate nobility revealed in the manner.At this time, her delicate body trembled slightly, tears rolled down, and the pear blossoms were crying with rain, which was very beautiful.

"Midnight, why are you here?" Zhong Yin called out, alarming the sad Sheriff Li, Li You hurriedly wiped his wet eyes, not wanting his niece to see him in a "wretched" state.It didn't work out as expected, he soon realized that he was deceiving himself, Ziye burst into tears, and stood at the door for an unknown amount of time, obviously hearing everything.

"Uncle, I blamed you." Ziye ran into the hall and threw herself into Li You's arms, crying even more sadly.

Li You hurriedly patted her on the back, and said softly, "Stop crying in the middle of the night, it's not good to look good when you cry, it's uncle's fault, I shouldn't have kept it from you before, and shouldn't have made us sad in the middle of the night." When he said the words "I shouldn't lie to you", Li You clenched his fists heavily, suppressing his emotions.

Ziye cried: "No, Uncle! I was wrong! Before you kept it from me, I always thought you were doing it for your father and son, and you were making excuses for him. Now I understand, I missed Uncle, you don't want to let me I live in resentment and don't want to make me sad. But you have to bear all the pain alone..."

Li You and Zhong Yin wanted to hide Li Si's betrayal of Fusu, but Ziye learned the truth from his senior brother.For this reason, he had a big fight with the reason, accusing Li You of covering up Li Si, so that the "cold war" lasted for a long time.Thanks to Zhong Yin's persuasive persuasion, there is a change. He never thought that today, Ziye would accidentally learn the truth, and thus settle the suspicion.

Li You felt sore, and sighed; "Midnight has grown up! Since you understand what uncle wants, be obedient and don't think about it. Uncle is about to go to war. You have to take care of yourself and don't make him worry."

Ziye wiped away her tears and sobbed, "Well, uncle is away on an expedition, you must be careful, Ziye is now your only family member!"

The old man frowned and said with a smile: "Midnight, you are very sad to say that you are a teacher. Isn't the teacher a relative of yours?" Li You and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

As a result, the heavy atmosphere in the room was much lessened. Ziye laughed through his tears, and leaned against the old man again, and said in a low voice, "Ziye was wrong, you are my dearest and dearest master."

"As long as you have a sweet mouth, you are not afraid of your uncle's taste?" After joking, Zi Ye's mood improved a lot.

Zi Ye couldn't help blushing, and said with a smile: "Okay, I learned that my uncle is going to go to war, and I came to see him off. I know that my uncle and Master have something to discuss, so I don't need you to rush, so I will take my leave first."

Li You and the old man couldn't help laughing, Ziye smiled sweetly and turned away.The cute smiling face that went out instantly disappeared, and there was deep sadness and apology, even hatred...

In the room, Li Youdao: "Juzi, after I leave, please take care and take care of Ziye."

Zhong Yin said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fusu has shown kindness to me, Deng Lingmo. I regret not being able to save Mr. and Ziying back then. I will protect Ziye even if I try my best, so that he will not be harmed." No harm."

"That's good, there's Lao Juzi!"

The old man asked: "General, the Chu rebels who are conquering this time are different from the mobs you dealt with before. You have to be careful. Especially Fan Zeng who is next to Xiang Liang is a descendant of the Li family of my Mo family. He has soldiers in his belly." Armor, with a strategy in mind, don’t underestimate it. The old man also heard that there are many brave generals with excellent martial arts skills in the Chu army, the general must be careful. Otherwise, the old man will send some disciples to protect the general’s safety.”

Li You shook his head lightly: "No need, one or two people can't change the basic situation of the battle, Li You will be careful. If... if... I can't come back this time, please take Ziye to leave Sanchuan County and go far away. , keep her safe." This time there will be a fierce battle, and the worst is already prepared in my heart.After fighting for many years, he had already put life and death aside, but he was still worried about his niece.

Li You's words were full of entrustment, the old man shook and murmured: "This..." When he looked again, Li You had already got up and walked out, his steps were vigorous and powerful!
