Chapter 417 The heart of a villain is the heart of a gentleman!

It's not that far from Dongjiao County to Kuaiji.

It takes two days by horseback to get there.

Two days later, Kuaiji Wuzhong.

Inside the Xiang Mansion.

"How is the communication between the various counties and cities going?"

Xiang Liang was questioning his steward at this time.

Xiang Yu stood aside and listened.

This is Xiang Liang's requirement. Xiang Yu cannot just specialize in military affairs, nor does he need to understand some internal affairs.

"Master, the chief officials and gentry in each county have been contacted, and everyone is willing to obey your order."

The butler returned with a smile,

"Nowadays, most of the city defenses in each county are in our hands. Once an incident breaks out, the entire county can be taken down instantly!"

Xiang Liang nodded after hearing this.

“What about the other surrounding counties?”

The butler returned,

"The attitude of other counties is somewhat unclear, but they all have this intention."

Xiang Liang sneered,

"When I tried my best to recruit them, everyone remained silent."

"Now that the tyrant is claiming to be ill, all of their minds have become more active."

"Yu'er, you have to remember that these clan gentry seem to be devoted to the Chu Kingdom, but in fact they are just weeds on the wall. They will listen to whoever is powerful."

"Only those who have been with us are truly loyal."

Xiang Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. If he wants to be king in the future, he must learn these things.

Soon, Xiang Liang continued to ask,

"When those people talked to you, who did they mention more? I, the Xiang family, or the King of Chu?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said with some caution,

"Master, the younger ones are all asking about Master Xiang Yu's reputation, but the older ones are still concerned about the King of Chu..."

Xiang Liang knew that the other party was speaking euphemistically. After all, which family is dominated by young people?

After his eyes moved slightly, Xiang Liang quickly said,

"I understand. The King of Chu must support him well and give him whatever he wants, but there is one thing. He is not allowed to have contact with those people."

The housekeeper should be there soon.

Xiang Liang turned to look at Xiang Yu and found that the other party didn't care at all. He immediately smiled and nodded.

"Now is the time when heroes are rising together. Although we are revolting in the name of the Six Kingdoms, this is a good time for our Xiang clan to rise!"

He was originally worried that Xiang Yu would be resistant to this kind of thing.

Xiang Yu returned at this time,

"Uncle, don't worry, only true heroes deserve my admiration."

"This King of Chu is just a common man!"

Xiang Liang smiled and said,

"Yeah, but you can't be rude in front of others!"

"When your prestige increases in the future, you can find a way to get him away."

Xiang Yu nodded in agreement. In his heart, the only one who could compare with him now was Zhao Lang.

That King of Chu is just a puppet.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly walked in,

"Master, a letter from Dongjiao County."

Xiang Liang took the letter directly and said with a smile,

"Dongjiao County, it should be Tian Rong. No, it's King Qi Tian Rong who has sent the news. It's almost time to calculate the time."

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, but he didn't know his uncle's arrangement.

Besides, isn’t this King Qi the capital of Tian?

But before Xiang Yu could ask the question, Xiang Liang, who was reading the letter, became increasingly ugly, and finally said almost angrily,

"That's unreasonable!"

"Zhao Lang, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, why is he still related to Zhao Lang?

He asked quickly,

"Uncle, what happened?"

Xiang Liang suppressed his anger, handed the letter to Xiang Yu, and said,

"See for yourself!"

"Zhao Lang's son actually dared to blatantly tell me that he wanted to compete for the position of leader of the Six Nations Alliance!"

"Yu'er, you were still thinking of standing side by side with him. Look, Zhao Lang is acting so arrogantly, how could he tolerate you!"

Xiang Yu also finished reading the letter at this time and frowned slightly.

Indeed, Zhao Lang almost openly declared war on Xiang Liang in his letter, without giving him any kind words.

It's indeed a bit excessive.

"Huh, okay, Yu'er, you go and do your own business first. Uncle will write to King Han to see what's going on over there."

"Anyway, it's good that you know this person's true identity!"

After saying that, Xiang Liang left angrily.

Xiang Yu took the letter and walked towards his room.

After only walking a few steps, he saw his uncle Xiang Bo.

The other party looked at him once, then walked away with a smile, leaving him a little confused.

So he asked,

"Little uncle, why are you so happy?"

When Uncle Xiang heard the question, he waved his hands and said,

"Nothing, nothing!"

But the smile on his face was impossible to hide.

Xiang Yu suddenly became more curious and chased after him and asked,

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

"Just say it."

Xiang Bo said repeatedly,

"Nothing, nothing, Yu'er, don't ask, Young Master Lang won't let me tell you!"

"Young master!? Did he write to you?"

Xiang Yu frowned immediately, he was certainly not a stupid person.

Zhao Lang wrote to Xiang Liang on one side and Xiang Bo on the other.

It's obviously wrong!

Xiang Bo said with a bit of complaint,

"I told you not to ask. If Gongzilang finds out, he will definitely blame me."

Xiang Yu's face became solemn and he said with a bit of severity,

"Uncle, Young Master Lang and I are on different paths now. Please don't leak secrets for a little money and miss important events!"

He knew that his younger uncle was greedy for money, so no money in the family would pass through his hands.

Hearing this, Xiang Bo's face turned red instantly and said,

"Yu'er! What are you talking about? Uncle, am I that kind of person?!"

"Gongzi Lang and I are just close friends! Gongzi Lang didn't mention anything at all!"
