General Qin

Sishui County, Xiaxiang, a remote courtyard at the foot of a mountain.

This is a villa of the Xiang family. It is relatively remote and few people come here on weekdays. It is the place where Xiang Liang used to settle Zhang Liang and others.

Gongsun Xin and four warriors from Haidong were gesticulating in the courtyard.

In the classical era, both the upper-class nobles and the lower-class knights had a strong martial spirit.

"Good! Good! Good! You are worthy of being a Korean warrior. With such skill, he is not inferior even to the martial arts warriors of Qi."

Gongsun Xin was quickly defeated, but instead of being angry, he praised the Korean warriors who defeated him.

They are people who want to do big things, and if they want to do it, they naturally need to have good force.

Especially the one who actually does it.

Gongsun Xin turned his head and looked at a muscular warrior not far away.

He and Zhang Liang went to Haidong, where they received support from Lord Canghai of Xin Cang, who had a grudge against Qin General Li Xin, and King Jifu of Korea, and gave them five warriors in total.

There are two Korean warriors and three Korean warriors.

Among them, the person recommended by Lord Canghai was the most powerful. This person was taciturn, and his name was quite complicated and difficult to pronounce. Gongsun Xin couldn't pronounce it even after twisting his tongue for a long time.

Therefore, both he and Zhang Liang simply called them "strong men", which was a simple image.

This warrior didn't talk much, but he was the strongest warrior in the world. It is said that he once fought a big pig and could defeat tigers and leopards. His muscles were so bulging that he could knock Gongsun Xin to the ground with just one arm.

At this moment, the strongman was holding a large iron vertebra weighing 120 kilograms and looking at a straw man dozens of meters away.

There is no roar when launching an attack, and no fancy moves.

The strong man shook his arm, turned the big iron spine twice, and then threw it out fiercely.

Just heard a loud noise.

The straw man dozens of meters away was hit by a large iron vertebra on the spot and shattered on the ground.

crack shot!

The four Haidong warriors cheered.

"Hercules!"

Gongsun Xin also praised, and at the same time thought to himself: "If a strong man were to use this big iron spine to hit Emperor Qin, hmph, with just one blow, the emperor would be turned into flesh on the spot. In this way, the hatred of my country will be able to You have to take revenge!”

While Gongsun Xin was intoxicated in his imagination, the loud sound of the iron spine hitting the straw man also startled the two people who were chatting and laughing in the room.

Xiang Juan, who was raising his glass to drink, was shocked by the roar. The wine glass in his hand shook, and a lot of wine fell on his clothes.

Xiang Juan smacked his lips and said to Zhang Liang who was sitting opposite: "Zifang, you are an incredible warrior. Even if an average person can lift that big iron spine, it can't be thrown far, let alone hit it." He is a straw man dozens of steps away. But he can hold it up and swing it with perfect accuracy, he is truly the strongest man in the world!"

Zhang Liang took a sip of his drink and said with a smile: "Brother, you are overrated. Although this man has some courage, he is just a barbarian and a despicable person, and he is not worthy of any big responsibility."

Although he said this, in Zhang Liang's heart, everything he had was entrusted to this strong man.

Xiang Matan shook his head and said: "Why can't he be in a big position? The task of killing Zhao Tuo will still fall on him."

At this point, Xiang Juan laughed again: "Zifang's cleverness is indeed admirable. He used the Zhou tripod that fell into the Si River in the past to carry out his strategy and spread rumors, which alerted the county government. He also persuaded the wealthy people in the county to persuade the county governor. I used Zhou Ding in Surabaya as an auspicious sign to ask for credit from the emperor. Now everything is exactly as planned by Zifang. The emperor's chariot came from Qi Di and entered our Chu land."

"Hmph, the thief Zhao Tuo killed my uncle and brother and destroyed our state of Chu. Now he is led here by the ovary, just in time for a strong man to smash him flat with a hammer. Only in this way can I vent the hatred in my heart!"

Xiang Juan's words were full of anger.

Xiang Juan is the eldest son of another branch of the Xiang family. Although he is not from Xiang Yan's lineage, he is very close in blood.

He has also had a good relationship with Xiang Qu since he was a child. When it comes to Zhao Tuo who defeated and made Xiang and his son commit suicide, Xiang Tao is naturally full of resentment.

"Of course, Zhao Tuo is a thief who helps Zhou to commit evil, and his hands are stained with the blood of our soldiers from the six kingdoms. When he was in Daidi, he colluded with the Huns and killed Chen Yu, a righteous man who was against the Qin Dynasty. I will kill myself for such thief Then quickly!"

Zhang Liang said in agreement that he would smash Zhao Tuo to pieces, but there was a flash of guilt in his eyes.

He and Gongsun Xin were Koreans and had little influence in the Chu region. If they wanted to accomplish great things, they had to rely on the Xiang family, a local snake.

Since the death of Xiang Yan and his son, Xiang Liang and Xiang Tang are now leading the family.

Xiang Liang was a calm and resourceful man. Although he accepted Zhang Liang and others due to moral reasons, he would never help Zhang Liang and others in the assassination for the sake of the Xiang family.

Zhang Liang knew this very well, so he set his target on Xiang Mao, who was slightly inexperienced and prone to being emotional.

He first deliberately made friends with Xiang Juan, and after gaining his friendship, he asked him to help purchase large iron vertebrae and other weapons. Then he gradually exaggerated the grievances between the Xiang family and Qin general Zhao Tuo, arousing Xiang Juan's hatred, and finally used the excuse that he wanted to assassinate Zhao Tuo. Tuo, to avenge the martyrs of the Six Nations.

As soon as this idea came out, Xiang Juan responded immediately.

If it was to assassinate the emperor, Xiang Juan would naturally not dare to do so.

But if it was to assassinate Zhao Tuo, the nature would be different. The risk factor would drop sharply, not to mention that the Xiang family and Zhao Tuo had a deep hatred.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Liang masterminds and implements this matter. Xiang Tang only needs to hide the news from Xiang Liang, help spread the news about Zhou Ding of Surabaya, and add fuel to the flames. It doesn't take much effort.

This is why Zhang Liang was able to get help from Xiang Juan and successfully fermented the Zhou Ding incident in Surabaya.

Now that Qin Shi Huang's chariot has entered Sishui County, it is time for them to take action.

Just when Zhang Liang and Xiang Tang were drinking.

There was a rush of footsteps approaching outside the hospital.

Xiang Liang kicked open the courtyard door and shouted angrily before he came in.

"Xiang Juan! Zhang Liang! What a good thing you two did!"

This angry shout immediately aroused the vigilance of Gongsun Xin and the five Haidong warriors in the courtyard.

"Why is Brother Xiang so angry?"

Gongsun Xin hurriedly opened his mouth, intending to stop him.

Xiang Liang pushed Gongsun Xin out of the way, ignored him, and walked straight across the yard to enter the house. At the same time, he shouted: "Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, how can I, Xiang, treat you badly?" You actually want to harm my Xiang clan!"

Zhang Liang and Xiang Tang came out.

Zhang Liang waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, why did you say this? It's too late for me to repay Mrs. Xiang. How can I harm Mrs. Xiang's heart?"

Xiang Juan also said: "Yes, brother, Zifang is a righteous man from the Six Kingdoms, and he and my Xiang family are brothers and sisters. How could he harm my Xiang family?"

"Brotherhood?"

Xiang Liang glared at Xiang Tang fiercely, then glared at Zhang Liang and said: "Zhang Liang, since you have no harm to my Xiang family, why did you let Xiang Tang go behind my back to spread the news about Zhou Ding in Surabaya? I thought it at first It was the county governor who wanted to please the emperor. He never thought that it was you, Zhang Liang, who was behind this!"

"Zhang Liang, Xiang Juan, you two really made it hard for me to hide this!"

"What do you want to do by luring the emperor to Surabaya County?"

Xiang Liang was furious and asked questions one after another. Although he didn't know what Zhang Liang was thinking, he could tell at a glance that this was not a good thing.

Seeing that Xiang Liang knew what they were doing behind his back, Zhang Liang didn't make any excuses. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "We do this because we want to avenge the martyrs of the Six Nations who died at the hands of Qin General Zhao Tuo. To avenge Brother Xiang’s father and brother.”

"Zhao Tuo? Revenge?"

Xiang Liang instinctively looked back at the hammer-wielding warrior who was looking at him coldly.

His face changed drastically and he said: "You want to assassinate Zhao Tuo!"

"Of course, Qin general Zhao Tuo deserves to die." Zhang Liang said calmly.

Xiang Juan nodded and said, "This person has a big grudge against my Xiang family and deserves to be killed!"

"You are confused!"

Xiang Liang said angrily: "Zhao Tuo is a close confidant of the Emperor of Qin and his son-in-law. He loves him very much. Once you assassinate him, the Emperor will be furious and send people to hunt him down. Sooner or later, my Xiang family will be implicated." On your body!"

Xiang Juan's face turned pale.

Zhang Liang looked calm and said: "Brother Xiang, don't worry. After the assassination, I will expose Zhang Liang's name and won't implicate you Xiang family."

"Hmph, you said you won't be implicated, so you won't? How cruel the Qin people are, and who is not afraid of the method of implicating the clan and punishing them. As long as someone leaks one or two things and lets people know that it is me, the Xiang clan, who has taken you in, I, the Xiang clan, will all The whole clan must die!"

Xiang Liang's voice was trembling with anger, and at the same time, there was a fierce light in his eyes.

He regretted taking in Zhang Liang.

But now, regret is meaningless.

The matter has spread, and the Emperor of Qin and the martial arts lord Zhao Tuo have also come to Sishui County. These are things that cannot be changed.

The only people Xiang Liang can change are the people in front of him.

As long as Zhang Liang, Gongsun Xin and others die here, then the Xiang family will naturally not be in danger.

Xiang Liang put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

But the next moment, as the hammer-wielding warrior from Haidong stood behind Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang instantly lost the courage to silence him.

When that big iron vertebra hit him, his head probably split open.

Before Xiang Liang came here, he only knew that Zhang Liang and Xiang Tang had let out the affairs of Zhou Ding in Surabaya, but their purpose was not clear, so there were not many people they brought except a few close friends outside the hospital.

Zhang Liang and others have special status, Xiang Liang does not dare to let people approach this place casually. If they recognize the origin of Zhang Liang and others and leak the information, the Xiang family will still be implicated.

Unexpectedly, this would make him weak. Facing those few Haidong warriors with fierce looks, Xiang Liang did not dare to turn against him easily.

Zhang Liang is such a shrewd person. As Xiang Liang's expression changed, he roughly guessed what he was thinking.

He said calmly: "Since Brother Xiang is worried, let's just leave. We have been bothering Brother Xiang these days."

Xiang Liang hissed: "Zifang misunderstood. I was just angry that you hid this matter from me. Why don't you stay for a few more days and let me hear your plan. If it is really possible to succeed, it will not be implicated." If you come to my Xiang family, then I can also provide you with help. After all, Zhao Tuo is my great enemy, and I really want to let him die."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "We are still just planning now. Whether it will succeed or not is yet to be seen. But judging from the tight defense of the emperor's motorcade and Zhao Tuo's shrewdness, the chance of success is not high. We will observe first. , maybe it will take some time before we take action again, maybe everyone has left Chu Di by then, so the Xiang family won’t be implicated, brother Xiang, don’t worry.”

With that said, Zhang Liang winked at Gongsun Xin and said, "We have been harassing the Xiang family for a long time, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so why not leave quickly?"

Gongsun Xin understood, he bowed his hand to Xiang Liang, and said with a smile: "We are very grateful to Brother Xiang for your hospitality during this time. We will never forget this kind of kindness in our lives."

Xiang Liang was angry, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope of persuading the other party to stay. He said: "What did Gongsun say? The violent Qin is poisoning the world, and we anti-Qin righteous men should help each other. I only hate Zifang and Gongsun’s stay here is too short, why not stay a little longer.”

Gongsun Xin got Zhang Liang's signal and knew it in his heart. After giving Xiang Liang a few perfunctory words, he went into the house to get the luggage they had packed long ago.

As for the vertebral warrior and the remaining four Haidong warriors, they kept looking at Xiang Liang coldly. Coupled with the faint smile on Zhang Liang's face, he did not dare to move at all.

Xiang Liang could only watch bitterly as these people packed their bags and said goodbye to him.

"Zifang, there are many difficulties and dangers here, so be careful."

When parting, Xiang Juan was still reluctant to leave Zhang Liang.

"Brother, you should also take care of yourself."

Zhang Liang also bowed his hand to Xiang Tang and said goodbye.

When the strong man holding the big iron spine got into a carriage and set off on the road with Zhang Liang and others.

Xiang Liang suddenly turned around and glared at Xiang Tang, who was still looking at Zhang Liang's back reluctantly.

Xiang Mao saw that Xiang Liang's eyes were red and looked very scary. He touched his face and said, "Brother, why do you look at me like this?"

Xiang Liang spat on Xiang Mao's face.

"Shuzi, I, the Xiang family, have been harmed by you!"
