The Counterattack of the Villains

Li Mu arrived very quickly. As soon as he heard that Liu Bang had been arrested, he immediately rushed to Zhuangzi on horseback.

"See the Lord."

"Well, bring someone here."

"promise."

When Liu Bang, Lu Gong, and Lu Pheasant were brought to the hall, what they saw was a figure wearing dark black clothes and standing as tall as a pine tree.

"Your Majesty, bring Liu Bang and his family here."

Liu Bang and the others stared at the figure from behind, but when he turned around, Lu Gong and Lu Fei's father and daughter had no reaction because they had never seen Gao Yao.

But Liu Bang turned pale with shock, his face turned pale, and he collapsed on the ground. His mind was filled with the words "How is this possible?"

Li Mu looked at Liu Bang with a half-smile, and said, "It seems that Brother Liu has understood why he is experiencing what he is experiencing today, and what fate he is about to face."

Liu Bang was shocked and said hurriedly: "Brother Gao Yao, please listen to my explanation, things are not what you think."

"Two people from the team of corvees I led ran away. The entire team will be beheaded and the officials will count the number of people. They will use you to make up the number."

"This is also a team of brothers and a group of lives. I was forced to have no choice but to acquiesce with tears. Brother, I also want to save people."

"Hehehe..." A string of laughter burst out from Li Mu's mouth, but all three of them could see that there was no smile in his eyes at all. The undisguised murderous intent made all three of them feel terrified.

"A gentleman can be deceived. If you said these words to Xiaochuan, you might get away with it, but I am not a gentleman. Your sweet words are of no use in front of me."

"With my current status, how difficult is it for me to find out the truth? I have no choice but to acquiesce with tears?"

"You asked the corvees to collect money to buy us drinks, get us drunk, and then use us as corvees to do business. Is this your helpless and tearful acquiescence?"

"Qiang"

After Li Mu said these words, he pulled out a long sword from the hands of his men and walked slowly towards Liu Bang.

Liu Bang's face was ashen, and he finally remembered that if Gao hadn't been Yi Xiaochuan, he wouldn't have been able to kidnap him with his benevolence, righteousness, and morality, and he couldn't help but feel despair.

If I had known this was the case, I should have followed God's will and made Yi Xiaochuan an official slave while Gao went to build the Great Wall.

Is this the consequence of going against God's will? How virtuous and capable is Gao Yao? He was able to stand up as an official slave and still have such power as he does now?

It turns out that he decided the whereabouts of Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao by throwing coins.

As a result, the result of his throwing coins was that Yi Xiaochuan became an official slave and Gao went to build the Great Wall.

But he felt that Yi Xiaochuan was too smart and capable. Maybe he could rise up as an official slave and come to trouble him.

So he switched the two people and hoped that Yi Xiaochuan would die in the process of building the Great Wall.

At this time, he naturally thought that this was the punishment he received for violating God's will.

Lu Fei was a little emotionally broken and shouted to Liu Bang: "What the hell did you do? It caused our father and daughter to suffer."

Liu Bang looked miserable, looking at the long sword with cold light shining in Li Mu's hand, his mind went blank.

Lu Pheasant begged Li Mu again: "Mr. Gao, we have no knowledge of what Liu Bang did, let alone participated in it. Please be merciful to Mr. Gao and let us go!"

Li Mu shook his head and said: "You are a family, and a family should be neat and tidy. Even if you are not married yet, you are destined to become husband and wife."

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, has gone down, so how can we be without Empress Lu?"

Lu Pheasant and Lu Gong suddenly turned to look at the leader who had brought them here. Seeing a faint smile on his face, they felt chills all over their bodies.

It turns out that this is what it means to have a neat family. It's funny that they thought it was because others were ignorant and didn't know how to use words and sentences.

Liu Bang was suddenly shocked and regained his ability to think.

He stared at Li Mu and asked: "You call me Han Gaozu. When Xiaochuan heard my name for the first time, he also called me Han Gaozu."

"Can you make me understand clearly, what exactly is Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty? And why do you call the eldest lady Empress Lu?"

A faint smile appeared on Li Mu's face, and he said with a strange look: "I think it's best for you not to know, otherwise, although you will die knowingly, you will definitely die with your eyes open."

Liu Bang laughed miserably and said: "Even if I don't know anything, I will still die with my eyes open. It's better to die knowing everything."

Li Mu pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then nodded and said: "Since you insist, then I will let you die clearly, which can be regarded as the final respect for you, a person who has left his name in history."

After saying this, he said to his men: "Go out first, close the door, and exit ten feet away."

"promise"

Without any hesitation, all the killers immediately left the room and closed the door.

Li Mu then looked at Liu Bang, and the first words he spoke made several people tremble.

"The title Han Gaozu represents the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. His official temple name is Taizu, his posthumous title is Emperor Gao, and he is referred to as Han Gaozu."

"The Qin Dynasty now has only nine years of national destiny left. After seven years, the world will be in chaos and all heroes will rise up. Among them, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, are the most powerful."

"Two years later, the Qin Dynasty fell, and then came the conflict between Chu and Han. After five years of fighting, Xiang Yu was finally defeated, and Liu Bang unified the world and established the Han Dynasty. He was the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

When Li Mu said this, he turned to look at Lu Pheasant and continued: "Liu Bang named Lu Pheasant his queen, which means he is Empress Lu. In other words, if history remains unchanged, you two should have been emperors fourteen years later.

and the queen."

The three of them stared at Li Mu blankly, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

Liu Bang stared at Li Mu and asked, "Where did you get the information you mentioned?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "From what I can see from the history books, I might as well tell you clearly that Xiaochuan and I are not people of the current world at all, but are from two thousand years in the future."

"You guys, in the eyes of Xiaochuan and I, are just figures in history."

Seeing the doubts on the three people's faces, Li Mu explained: "Let me tell you this, your existence, to me and Xiaochuan, is like the people of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in your eyes."

"You can think about it, if one day you suddenly go to the era of the Zhou Dynasty, or even the Shang Dynasty, what will your reaction be when you meet the young King Zhou?"

Li Mu's words were like thunder exploding in the minds of the three of them. In an instant, they were like enlightenment, and they completely understood what Li Mu said.

Liu Bang was in a daze and murmured: "No wonder, no wonder Xiaochuan called me Han Gaozu as soon as he heard me announcing my name. He was so enthusiastic towards me that he even fawned over me."

"It turns out that from the moment he heard my name, he knew that I would be the emperor in the future, but now...why is this now?"

Lu Fei also figured out a lot of things, why Yi Xiaochuan had to match her up with Liu Bang, why she couldn't understand what he said many times, but she felt it made sense, and often felt uneasy.

Now that I know the truth, if I think about it carefully, if they really went to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and talked about "The Analects" and "Mencius" with the people at that time, the people at that time would definitely regard them as saints.

It turns out that the truth of everything is like this, but why, why does everything become like this?

At this moment, Li Mu solved their doubts: "Are you wondering, since history is recorded that way, why have you ended up in this situation?"

"It's very simple, because Liu Bang offended people who shouldn't have been offended to death."

"Ogawa and I know the future historical development. As long as we make friends with those people in advance who are destined to prosper in the future, we will surely prosper too."

"And we can also rely on our foresight of history to provide huge help to those we are close to, allowing them to take advantage of every opportunity."

"It's a pity that you ruined everything with your own hands. Xiaochuan and I have suffered so much because of you, and we hate you deeply."

He looked at the three people who were in despair, and then said slowly: "Originally, I was thinking that if I really killed you, would it change history and lead to changes in the future? Maybe we would not be born again."

"Since we are not born in the future, we will naturally not be able to come to this era again. Xiaochuan and I will disappear, and history will return to its original trajectory."

"But then I figured it out. History is written by people. The history known to future generations was recorded in writing by predecessors. The understanding of future generations depends entirely on how the predecessors wrote it."

"Then after I kill you, I will support another person to rise and change his name to Liu Bang. Even I can change my name to Liu Bang."

"Then let a woman change her name to Lu Pheasant, marry this Liu Bang, and establish the Han Dynasty in your place."

"In this way, Han Gaozu is still Han Gaozu, and Empress Lu is still Empress Lu, but those two people are no longer you."

"Then I personally write a history book based on the history I know and pass it on from generation to generation, so that the history known to future generations is still the original history, and the future will not change."

Li Mu looked at Liu Bang and the others with a smile on his face and said, "How is it? Am I very witty?"

After hearing what Li Mu said, Lu Pheasant cried "Wow" and scolded Liu Bang while crying.

Lu Gong was also in tears. Originally, he had a chance to become the head of the country, but because Liu Bang did such stupid things and offended people who shouldn't be offended, it all came to nothing.

Liu Bang was different from the two of them. He had no regrets. Instead, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no."

"Even if you and Xiaochuan come from two thousand years in the future, you have become history since you came to this era."

"Because if it hadn't been for you last time, I would have been beheaded because of the insufficient number of corvees. How could there be the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty?"

"The only problem here is your rise. If it were based on the original history, you should never have risen."

There was a look of surprise in Li Mu's eyes. He was indeed the one who could laugh at the end. Although he was ignorant and had no skills, his brain was indeed extraordinary.

Not only did he accept his theory of time travel so quickly, but he also thought of so many things in an instant and basically deduced the truth.

Li Mu praised: "You are indeed worthy of being the emperor of the Han Dynasty. With this brain, it is not unfair for Xiang Yu to lose to you. It's a pity that you were smart but you were misled after all."

"How can a person with a destiny die so easily? If it weren't for me and Xiaochuan, you would most likely choose to run away, then become a bandit and slowly develop your power."

"Historically, you started to rise as the Mountain King. I remember that there was a founding general in the Han Dynasty who was a dog meat seller. He was of great help to you when you were the Mountain King."

"Because this man also wrote a famous couplet that has been passed down through the ages, which is called 'Every person who slaughters dogs for justice is a scholar, but a person who is unfaithful is a scholar.'"

Liu Bang opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say anything.

Fan Kuai, he actually has the appearance of a founding general. Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now.

Not only did he ruin his life as an emperor, he also caused the prosperity and wealth of many people to disappear.

He did feel sorry for Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan, but he also felt sorry for many others.

"If you make one wrong move, you will lose everything. From the moment you tricked me and Xiaochuan, your destiny has been broken. Han Gaozu has nothing to do with you, because we are destiny people who are more lucky than you.

.”

"I have told you so much, and I have given you a clear understanding. When you are reincarnated in the next life, remember to be a good person who upholds benevolence and righteousness. Now, it is time to get on your way."

After Li Mu said these words, Liu Bang finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears, crying: "You said so much, didn't you just want me to feel regretful and regretful? You succeeded."

"I am not a thing. I am sorry for you and Xiaochuan, but the eldest lady is innocent. You let her go. You marry her to another Liu Bang and let her be Empress Lu. I beg you, please...

"

As he spoke, Liu Bang kowtowed to the ground with such force that the ground was soon stained with blood.

Because he knocked too hard, Liu Bang soon fell to the ground, still pleading weakly: "Please let her go, I am the one who is sorry for you, she doesn't know anything, and it has nothing to do with her."

Lu Zhi, who was crying so hard that he heard what he said, suddenly stopped crying and turned to look at him blankly.

At this moment, Yi Xiaochuan, who never took her seriously, but hurt her again and again, gradually faded away in her mind.

It turned out that he and this man were a destined couple, and that man was just a passer-by who broke into his life.

That's all, that's all.

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Liu Bang, do you know? Ever since I realized what kind of person you, the future Emperor of the Han Dynasty, are, I have never thought highly of you."

"But today I have to look at you with admiration. After all, you are still somewhat responsible as a man and have not lost the last bit of dignity."

"Originally I planned to chop off your head, but based on your last words, I decided to leave you with a whole body."

"But I'm sorry, I can't promise you. If you understand what kind of woman Lu Pheasant is, you can understand me."

"The Empress Lu when you were alive and the Empress Dowager Lu after your death were just as capable and mentally stronger than you. It can be said that she sustained half of the empire of Han Dynasty."

"In my eyes, she is a bigger threat than you, so I can't let her live. What's more, she already knows my biggest secret."

At this moment, Lu Pheasant had a bright smile on her face. She walked to Liu Bang's side on her knees and leaned down, letting her face touch Liu Bang's.

"Liu Bang, there is no need to ask him. We are a couple destined by God. If we make a mistake in this life, we will have to start over again in the next life."

"I have let you down in this life. I have another man in my heart. I will definitely be your wife in the next life and treat you wholeheartedly."

After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Liu Bang also stopped crying and smiled, saying: "Okay, okay, I, Liu Bang, have not lived in vain in my life. Gao Yao, please give us a good time!"

Seeing this, Li Mu turned the hilt of his sword over and instead of killing them with his sword, he stretched out his index finger and hit their temples with a yang finger. Lu Gong on the side did the same.

The three men died silently. Except for the wounds caused by Liu Bang himself, there were no injuries on their bodies.

"If I had known today, why bother in the beginning."

Li Mu sighed, summoned the snare killers, and ordered them to bury Liu Bang and Lu Fei ten miles away to the east.

This is thirty miles east of Xianyang City, and the Changling Tomb of Emperor Gaozu of the later Han Dynasty is twenty kilometers east of Xianyang City, which is forty miles away.

Li Mu buried them there to show his final respect for the two men's behavior before they died.

In the face of death, they maintained their dignity after all and did not let him look down upon them.

…

During the time when Fusu was promoting the world, opening the Hall of Juxian, and recruiting wise men from all over the world, the First Emperor took the Meng family army on a tour to frighten the survivors of the six countries and serve as a "platform" for Fusu.

On the day when the First Emperor returned to Xianyang after his tour, a pair of uncle and nephew, who were tall and burly and full of toughness, saw the grandeur of the First Emperor's trip on the street.

These uncles and nephews were none other than Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, descendants of the Xiang family, a noble family of Chu state.

Xiang Yu looked at the First Emperor's team, with a look of disdain on his face, and hummed: "What's so great, when the day comes that I will replace him, I will definitely be even more powerful than him."

Xiang Liang's expression changed and he shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Yu'er, my uncle appreciates your broadmindedness and ambition, but this is Xianyang City and the land of Qin. We must be careful in our words and deeds, otherwise we will definitely get burned."

Xiang Yu frowned and said: "Didn't my uncle always teach me that it is my duty to rebuild the Chu Kingdom? Why did you bring me to the Juxian Hall to contribute to the Qin Kingdom?"

Xiang Liang persuaded with sincerity: "Yes, uncle taught you this, but now the Qin Dynasty is still very strong, we can't start an uprising, we can only wait for the opportunity."

"We are now applying to the Juxian Hall. First, we can make friends with the heroes of the world and the descendants of the Six Nations, and prepare for our future."

"Furthermore, Young Master Fusu is the perfect candidate for the crown prince. We need to find out his background. This is called knowing yourself and your enemy."

"Thirdly, if we apply for the Juxian Hall now and serve Fusu, when Fusu ascends to the throne in the future, the power we can control will also increase."

"At that time, if we work together internally and externally, we will have a greater chance of accomplishing something."

"Did you see that there are quite a few descendants of the Six Nations who came today? Maybe their purpose coincides with ours."

After listening to Xiang Liang's words, Xiang Yu finally relaxed his frown and said, "In that case, let's go meet these heroes now."

Xiang Liang said happily: "This is right! Remember, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in Xianyang. Let's go!"

The uncle and nephew left side by side, but neither of them noticed that at the corner behind them, there was an ordinary person who looked like an ordinary person with his back against the wall.

He held a blank book in his left hand and a penholder in his right hand, and was writing rapidly. What was written in the book was the conversation between his uncle and nephew just now, word for word.

The other person had already quietly added uncle and nephew when he was writing.

…

Afternoon, Gongzi Mansion.

Fusu was sitting behind the desk, flipping through a book, his brows furrowed tightly, and a trace of anger could not help but appear on his usually gentle and peaceful face.

Li Mu sat quietly next to him. On the desk in front of him was a stack of books, all of which were records of the words and deeds of the survivors of the Six Nations who arrived in Xianyang during this period.

"Asshole, this father and son in this family are so ambitious." After Fusu read the records in the book, he smashed the book on the desk angrily.

He is just kind-hearted by nature, but it does not mean that he has no temper or anger.

He said to Li Mu with a face full of joy: "Fortunately, Gao Qing proposed to set up a snare, otherwise I would have been deceived by them and would have done something like raising tigers."

Li Mu sighed: "I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

"Young Master devoted himself to resolving the grudges of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, so that the whole country of Qin could work together to create a prosperous age."

"But there are always some ambitious people who only care about their own small righteousness and forget the great righteousness of the world."

"Fortunately, people like the uncles and nephews of the Xiang family are only a minority after all. Most of them really want to join the Juxian Hall and find an official position."

This sentence "I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch" really touched Fusu's heart, and he once again marveled at Li Mu's literary talent.

He smiled bitterly and said: "But most of those people are just low-level nobles. They all have high ambitions but low abilities. They don't have many outstanding people. They just want to be a shining star."

"The upper-middle class remnants of the Six Kingdoms have never returned home. My move to the Xiantang Hall has almost become a joke. What can I do?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Young Master, there is no need to worry. It is said that a snake cannot do without a head, but if there is only one snake head left and no belly and tail, it is a dead snake. That is even more impossible."

"By gathering the remnants of the lower classes of the Six Kingdoms, we have dug up the foundation of the Six Kingdoms. Then we will only be left with a bunch of middle- and high-level nobles. What can we achieve?"

"From my subordinate's opinion, the young master's move to become a virtuous man is not only not a joke, but is actually quite clever."

Fusu's eyes lit up and he said with great joy: "What Gao Qing said is very true, but I am narrow-minded. In this case, the Juxian Hall will be opened as scheduled in three days."

"promise."

Li Mu promised, and then asked: "Which uncle and nephew of the Xiang family do you want to capture?"

Fusu paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Now that we know their plan, we won't let them succeed."

"But now the remnants of the six countries are gathered in Xianyang. If we capture the Xiang family and his son at this time, it will be harmful rather than beneficial."

"Ignore them for the time being. It's not too late to worry about them again after the dust settles."

Li Mu showed a look of surprise, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Young Master is wise."

A happy look appeared on Fusu's face, and he was extremely satisfied with Li Mu.

In fact, of course Li Mu knew that it was not a good time to capture the Xiang family's uncle and nephew at this time, as this would make the survivors of the Six Kingdoms realize that they were being monitored.

In this way, they will feel insecure and will have distrust and dissatisfaction with Juxiantang.

He asked that sentence just to let Fusu make his own decision, so as to show Fusu's wisdom and let him know that he is the one in control of the overall situation, not Li Mu.

As a subordinate, you can be very smart, but you can never be smarter than your immediate boss, let alone make decisions for your boss.

Moreover, Li Mu had no intention of letting anything happen to the Xiang family's uncles and nephews. On the contrary, he would tell them to run away quickly.

This is not for Xiang Yu.

The Qin Dynasty has a strong army of millions, and because of his interference, Meng Tian will not die violently.

When the time comes, how can Yi Xiaochuan defeat millions of Qin troops?

In the original history, if Xiang Yu hadn't defeated Qin's 400,000-strong army in a "burning cauldron" battle of Julu, how would Liu Bang have the chance to have the last laugh?

Therefore, Xiang Yu cannot die for the time being. If he wants to die, he has to wait until the Qin army is defeated.

As for Yu Ji, he didn't need to think about it. After all, Xiaoyue was also one of Gao Yao's obsessions.

If she really feels like "the overlord is exhausted, how can I survive as a lowly concubine?", then it will be Li Mu's turn to "can't get rid of her obsession, when will reincarnation end?"
