40. Suddenly heard that Zhao Zheng has an urgent order
Xiang Yu returned home.
In order to avoid the limelight, Xiang Liang and Yu Pian decided not to hold a wedding for the time being.
On the other hand, due to Qin Shihuang's attitude, Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, summoned Xiang Liang to the county magistrate's office and became an aide. Although it was not a formal position, he finally had a formal identity.
As for Xiang Yu...
On the martial arts training ground of Xiang's mansion, two figures were holding weapons and fighting fiercely, and the sound of jingling gold and iron clashing constantly sounded.
In the interlaced figures, one of them was obviously forced into a corner by the other.
Finally, after another loud bang, a long sword was picked up in the sky and then landed on the ground.
Xiang Zhuang shook his head helplessly and said to Xiang Yu: "Brother, your Fang Tian Hua Ji is so tricky. How can you have such a long weapon to fight the enemy in close proximity?"
Xiang Yu smiled, put away his weapon with satisfaction, and said, "You don't know this. As the saying goes, one inch long and one inch stronger. My Fangtian Painting Ridge is so strong. If it is used as a horse battle in the future, it will definitely be a big advantage."
After many days of trouble, Xiang Yu finally got out the Fang Tian Hua Ji. After practicing for a few days, he felt very good at it. He still believed that this weapon was the most suitable for him.
The two brothers smiled and talked for a few words, then Xiang Yu walked towards the house.
Xiang Zhuang hurriedly said, "Brother, are you going to study again? Why don't you go out with me? Today I found the Gongsun family's Xiaojun."
Xiang Yu waved his hand without looking back and said, "I am an engaged person. Now I want to read my military books. If you want to find your Xijun, let Xiang Sheng and the others accompany me. Don't bother me!"
Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this. Looking at Xiang Yu's departure back, he couldn't help but mutter: "Didn't my brother abandon military books and say that he might as well read some Confucian classics? Why are you obsessed with it every day now?"
After a while, Xiang Yu, who had a simple shower, sat in the room wearing a nightgown, slowly spreading out the bamboo slips in front of him.
This bamboo slip is quite old, and at the beginning, it is written in seal characters of Qi State with a line of small characters: "Sun Wu, a native of Qi, has studied military techniques for many years and has gained something. He is dedicated to the throne of Wu."
Sun Wu, also known as Sun Wuzi, was a general under the command of Wu State. He once conquered the capital of Chu State with Wu Zixu and others and was recognized as a master of military tactics of history.
Sun Wu entered Wu from Qi State and presented his book to King Helu of Wu for many years. Later generations called it "The Art of War" and also called "The Art of War of Sun Tzu".
Later, the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, and the Wu royal family was killed by the Yue people. The remaining ones had to change their name to the Yu family to avoid the pursuit of the Yue people. This "The Art of War" disappeared because of this.
Even Xiang Yu did not expect that he could obtain this book "The Art of War" from the Yu family!
Xiang Yu skillfully flipped through the bamboo slips and came to the page where he had finished reading before.
"The "Yongjian":...Therefore, there are five things: there are cause, there are internal, there are counter-interferences, there are deaths, and there are births. The five things arise, and no one knows the way. This is called the divine law, the treasure of the king. The reason for the silence is used by the people of the village. The inner one is used by the officials. The reverse one is used by the people of the officials.
Xiang Yu gradually became fascinated by the reading and was immersed in the book.
As Xiang Zhuang said just now, such a thing could not have happened to Xiang Yu before.
Xiang Yu changed unknowingly, but from his own perspective, he just felt that Qin would soon perish, so he seized the time to study the military books, and did not notice that his attitude towards the military books had changed so much.
I don’t know how long I have to read.
It was not until the door was suddenly knocked that Xiang Yu retreated from this extremely focused state.
Xiang Liang smiled and said, "It's time to have a meal, Yu'er. There is a guest waiting for you."
Xiang Yu was a little surprised: "Guest?"
Xiang Liang's expression was even more strange: "To be honest, I don't know whether this guest's arrival was a good or a bad thing. In short, just follow me."
Xiang Yu was full of doubts and followed Xiang Liang to the lobby.
Here, there was a man waiting for Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu recognized this person because he was the young man who gave Xiang Yu the token of "Lang" not long ago, representing Meng Yi's arrival.
The young man had a slightly arrogant expression on his face and said to Xiang Yu: "The token I gave you before is still there, right? Take it out."
His tone is imperative and cannot be refused.
Xiang Yu frowned slightly, but he still took out the token from his arms: "Here."
This token helped Xiang persuade the Yu family, so Xiang Liang kept asking Xiang Yu to carry it in person in case of emergency.
Xiang Yu originally thought that the visitor came to take back the token, but he didn't expect that the visitor just glanced at the token and then turned his attention to Xiang Yu again: "Do you know the full meaning of this token?"
Xiang Yu wanted to nod, but chose to shake his head.
The visitor snorted, as if he was quite dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's reaction: "I really have never seen the world... Okay, I'll tell you directly. This is a token of Langguan. The person who owns this token is the Langguan of Daqin. Do you understand?"
Xiang Yu nodded: "I understand."
The visitor stood up with a serious expression: "Official Xiang Yu, the doctor ordered Meng Yi to send an order to you--return to the team immediately!"
After hearing this sentence, Xiang Yu didn't react for a while.
Xiang Liang was the first to figure it out, and then was shocked: "Return to the team? Could it be..."
The visitor said lightly: "Officer Lang is responsible for defending Your Majesty. The meaning of returning to the team is naturally to return to Your Majesty!"
This sentence exploded in Xiang Yu's ears like a thunder, which made him stunned.
Return to Your Majesty and defend Your Majesty?
A strong sense of absurdity surged from Xiang Yu's heart.
I, Xiang Yu, the young leader of the Xiang clan of the Great Chu, defending His Majesty Zhao Zheng of Qin?
Xiang Yu suddenly didn't know what to say.
The visitor was obviously impatient, and shook his hand and said, "You have time to prepare for one night and follow me tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, the visitor left a letter of appointment and left directly.
Xiang’s uncle and nephew stood in the hall, as if there were two sculptures.
After a while, Xiang Liang smiled bitterly and said, "This Zhao Zheng is really... unexpectedly tight."
Xiang Yu said: "Yes."
Xiang Liang's eyes flashed and his expression was entangled for a long time. He finally made a decision and said in a deep voice: "Although one night was a bit urgent, it was enough to evacuate our Xiang clan from Wu County. I will inform the others now and set off immediately!"
As soon as Xiang Liang turned around, he was pulled by Xiang Yu.
Chapter completed!
