The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 591 Opportunity
Yabai sighed inwardly, then smiled and made friends with this young man.

Yabai accepted Fuchu's gift. After seeing Fuchu off, he brought the group to his father's grave, a shabby but clean and tidy little mound.

The group kept begging for mercy, but Yabai turned a deaf ear to them.

As they talked about the past, they finally remembered that it was because the fire fox shawl was so beautiful that the county magistrate took note of it.

His concubine had gradually aged and lost her beauty over the years and had fallen out of favor in recent years. Only after she gave birth to a son could she still live a stable life in the mansion.

Now the county magistrate started cursing and blamed everything on the concubine.

The soldiers also begged for mercy, saying that they were ordered by the county magistrate.

Yabai watched this farce calmly and asked only one question.

Where is that fire fox now?

The concubine said this timidly while crying.

It turned out that in the year when the shawl was made, the county magistrate's wife was jealous of the concubine's favor. One night when they were admiring the moon, she deliberately used a candle to burn the overly beautiful shawl to scare her and warn her not to be frivolous.

This perfect fox fur cape would be ruined even if a spark was lit on it, not to mention a large piece of it was burned, so it was naturally thrown away.

After hearing this ending, Yabai slowly started laughing. His laughter grew louder and louder until it could be heard everywhere.

I don't know when, but tears started to flow.

This was the first time he had cried in fifteen years, and he had thought he would never cry again.

Because of this, his father died in humiliation.

Thuja had nothing more to say.

With a flick of his hand and a slash of his knife, these nobles were scattered all over the ground like prey in the mountains.

Justice is in the hearts of people, but human hearts are unpredictable and cannot defend justice.

The only way to defend justice is with this hunting knife.

The next day, Fu Chu brought generous gifts to see Yabai again.

BMW luxury cars, gold and silver, silks and satins, beautiful maids.

In addition, a large house was built in the county town, where the younger generations would respectfully serve Yabai's mother and invite her to live in the city to spend her old age.

Moreover, Fu Chu didn't say anything and didn't ask Yabai to do anything.

Yabai did not refuse and accepted them all.

He only takes care of his elderly mother and serves his children at home, never travels far, and remains self-disciplined and does not indulge in pleasure.

After all, he no longer had to struggle for a living and could concentrate on swinging the sword, and the number of times he swung the sword increased to eight thousand times a day.

Fu Chu didn't often come to disturb her, after all, he was in Yingdu most of the time, but he was never short of money and property, and never had to disturb her for any trivial matters. He would just come quietly to take a look occasionally, have a meal and drink some wine together, see if there was anything missing, and bring some satisfying small gifts to Yabai's mother.

Just like that, twelve years passed in the blink of an eye.

The trump card should be used at the most critical location.

Even if you will never use it, but if you use it once, you must use it the most fatal time.

It must be the final decision!
Fu Chu understood this principle.

You can't be nice to people when they are working hard for you.

No one can plant a sapling and immediately harvest a towering tree.

Investment should always be made in advance.

The death warriors need to be raised in advance.

Especially for extremely capable assassins, it requires huge effort and emotional investment.

Now is the time to use it.

Fu Chu has been keeping a low profile and secretive about his acquaintance with Yabai, in order to hide his trump card and make the final decision at the critical moment!

Four years ago, Yabai's mother had passed away. This poor woman, who had already died of old age, finally had a few good years in her last years. But one night, she closed her eyes and never woke up again.

At the last moment of her life, God finally gave her a little mercy, allowing her to leave without pain.

Even though Fu Chu was restricted in Shouchun and could not go out at will and was secretly monitored by King You of Chu, he still took great risks and sneaked out of Shouchun to mourn for Yabai's mother, and even paid his respects as a nephew.

All of this was seen by Yabai.

He is a reasonable man, just like his father.

Revenge must be taken, and favors must be repaid.

Just after burying his mother, Yabai took the initiative to ask to see Fuchu for the first time.

He wants to repay the favor.

Fu Chu was not polite at all and asked him to hide his identity, come to Shouchun under an assumed name, and become Li Yuan's retainer.

Although Li Yuan killed Chunshen Jun, he was Chunshen Jun's servant after all. Although his ability and character were much worse than Chunshen Jun's, he learned from Chunshen Jun in everything.

He had extremely complicated feelings towards Chunshen Jun. He was also very envious of Chunshen Jun's reputation for keeping retainers and retainers and for being well-known throughout the country.

Since Li Yuan was valued by King Kaolie of Chu, he has been recruiting retainers, but the effect is limited.

It was only after he became the Prime Minister of the State of Chu that a large number of people came to join him. Although his reputation was not as great as that of the Four Young Masters at that time, he was still very popular.

Especially after Lu Buwei gradually kept a low profile, dismissed his retainers and consolidated his power, the person who had the most retainers and the greatest reputation in the world was Li Yuan.

When it comes to keeping retainers, one must be respectful to the wise and humble, and keep as many people as possible, so that they can spread the word. Only when you have a reputation will truly capable people come to you for support.

It is impossible for everyone to be a talent. We can only hire as many people as possible. If there is one real talent among a hundred people, then we will make a lot of money.

And Thuja sutchuenensis is undoubtedly a talent.

He looks like just an old farmer, but once he draws his knife, no one can ignore him.

Yabai went to be a retainer of Li Garden, and with just one cut he became a distinguished guest.

His food, clothing and living expenses were the same as Li Yuan's. He had a car to travel and a luxury house of his own.

After killing assassins for Li Yuan several times, Yabai gained Li Yuan's trust and became Li Yuan's confidant.

There is no way, such a master is too likable and makes people feel at ease. No matter what kind of assassin it is, it is always just one knife, and the assassin will die.

After finding out his simple background, Li Yuan made him his personal bodyguard.

The origin of cliff cypress is not complicated. Fu Chu can deceive Li Yuan by simply disguising himself and hiding some key points.

Over the years, Fu Chu has made all preparations.

Fu Chu took great pains to make Yabai Li Yuan's confidant. Of course, it was not just to simply kill Li Yuan, but for a more crucial blow.

After Li Yuan led the army to Juchao, after a short rest, he began to attack the city without hesitation. As expected, Fu Chu suffered heavy losses.

More than 3,000 people were killed or wounded on Fu Chu's side in just one day. As for Li Yuan, who was on the attacking side, his casualties were less than 1,500. This time, he brought all the more than 20 siege machine beasts that the Chu State had in its possession.

This battle situation caused the morale of Fu Chu's army to plummet.

You know, although the nobles have no way out, the lower-level soldiers do have a way out.

No matter how much they clean up the mess, they will only clean up the nobles and generals, and it will not reach the lower-level soldiers.

But if you fight on the battlefield, you will really die.

Although Juchao has not been lost, the whole country is gloomy and depressed.

In this situation, Fu Chu, who had anticipated this, said in the big tent in front of all the noble generals, ostensibly to stabilize the morale of the army, that it would be indeed difficult to win on a frontal battlefield.

But this was a strategy, which had been anticipated, and the strategy used was to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Li Yuan brought all the elite troops and masters to his side, so the pseudo king's side must be empty.

The top assassins who have been lurking in Shouchun for a long time will take the opportunity to assassinate the fake king. As long as the fake king is dead, the enemy will scatter in all directions.

Now as long as we hold on, delay the army, and create an opportunity for the assassin, there is hope.

Fu Chu said this in a loud voice not only to stabilize the morale of the army, but also to pass the news to Li Yuan. There must be someone present who could pass on the message.

Li Yuan would never dare to gamble whether the assassin could succeed. The army could not retreat easily outside, and it would be of no use for the army to go back to face the assassin.

However, Li Yuan will definitely send his trusted masters back to protect the emperor!
Li Yuan was in the army camp, no matter how skilled he was, it was impossible for him to attack the camp. The army was under strict wartime control, so no matter who the assassin was, he would not have a chance to act.

But now people's hearts are in turmoil, and with Shouchun's defenses empty, it is indeed easier for things to go wrong around King You of Chu.

Fu Chu was right. Less than a day after he spoke, Li Yuan received the news and was shocked.

Although he knew that the palace was heavily guarded and full of experts, and the probability of successfully assassinating the king was extremely small, he did not dare to gamble. After all, the current situation was really special.

If the king is really killed, then all hope will be gone.

When he went on the expedition, King You of Chu indeed dispatched many royal masters to protect him for his safety. Now the security forces around King You of Chu are indeed a bit weak.

Li Yuan immediately summoned his personal guards, selected most of the royal masters, and asked them to go back to guard King You of Chu.

After much hesitation, he finally asked Yabai, the strongest master beside him, to go back with him to protect King Chu You.

Li Yuan was already in his sixties, which was not a young age. He knew very well that King You of Chu's life was much more important than his.

If he died, he would only be an old man. But if King Chu You died in this situation, the whole clan would be dead.

Yabai hesitated and refused, wanting to continue staying beside Li Yuan to protect him. Li Yuan hesitated for a while but felt more reassured. He firmly let Yabai return to Shouchun to protect King You of Chu.

Yabai has been following him for more than four years. He has no bad habits, is down-to-earth, reliable, and has a very high level of cultivation. Every time he encounters an assassination attempt, he kills the assassin without hesitation and has completely gained Li Yuan's trust.

And now, four years of painstaking efforts have finally paid off.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be difficult for Yabai to enter the palace, but he would never have the chance to approach and assassinate King Chu You.

If he directly surrendered to King You of Chu and wanted to lurk beside him, it would be absolutely impossible. He could hide his life experience from Li Yuan, but not from King You of Chu.

Moreover, even if nothing can be found out, King Chu You is surrounded by absolutely reliable royal master guards. Even if a master like Yabai were to defect, no one knows where he would be assigned. In any case, it is impossible for him to be used as a personal guard.
