Chapter 116: Double pupils covered with cloth, cleverness backfires

Based on this idea, they would definitely disguise themselves and hide. Even if Meng Yi entered the city and blocked the gate of Xiaxiang, not letting anyone in the city leave, how could he find Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu among so many people in the city?
The second option is how long it will take to attack the gate of Xiaxiang City. If it takes too long, it will also alarm Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew who may be in the city.

Moreover, if this were to spread, it would have a bad impact. Xiaxiang was already under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin army came to attack their own county...

Therefore, capturing Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew was a time-sensitive job. The longer it was delayed, the more troublesome it would be. Unless all the people in this area were slaughtered without leaving a single one alive, there was no need to consider these things.

Kill them all, and among them will always be Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang.

Meng Yi decided to try to reveal his identity first. If that didn't work, he would break through the city gate and fight his way in.

He took out a beautiful bamboo slip, held it high, and said in a loud voice: "I am Shang Qing Meng Yi, and I am going to Huaiyin on the order of the king. Now I am leading the army past Xiaxiang. Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"

He was not lying. The bamboo slips were indeed given to him by Ying Zheng before he set out. There were two copies: one for the trip and one for the return trip.

Although Meng Yi grew up in Guanzhong, he also learned some foreign languages ​​for work needs. The language he spoke at this moment was Chu dialect, but his accent was a bit strange, and you could tell at one listen that he was not a genuine Chu person.

After hearing Meng Yi's words, the soldiers guarding the city looked at each other in hesitation, but did not open the city gate.

Seeing this, Meng Yi held up the bamboo slips and asked again: "Do you want to disobey the king's order? Do you know the consequences?"

When the soldiers guarding the city heard Meng Yi mention the consequences of disobeying the order of the King of Qin, they shuddered.

The Qin King's notoriety and fear are known throughout the world. How many people don't know about it?

This army is obviously the real Qin army, and this Qin general also looks like a real Qin general. There should be no problem with their identities...

Fearing that they would be severely punished if they disobeyed the King of Qin's order, the soldiers guarding the city chose to open the city gates.

Seeing the soldiers guarding the city opening the city gate, Meng Yi was speechless for a moment. Among the six countries, the king was truly ferocious and powerful. Although he was not here, he could still scare these people into fear.

As soon as the city gate was opened, Meng Yi immediately ordered his Qin soldiers to take over the gate. He led his troops into the city at full speed and headed straight for the location of Xiang Liang that Meng Tian had found out.

When Meng Yi led his troops into Xiaxiang, Xiang Liang was in a house in the city.

Today, the eldest son of this family is getting married, and they wanted to invite a prestigious person to preside over the ceremony, so they invited Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang would generally not refuse such things, because it could increase his and the Xiang family's reputation and accumulate connections. If there were changes in the future, the reputation could be transformed into power.

If you don't have any reputation in the local area, why would others trust you and follow you?

For example, although Pei Gong was considered idle by some of his fellow villagers, there were also a group of people who thought he was very righteous, so when he started a rebellion, some people were willing to follow him.

This is exactly what Xiang Liang wanted to do.

The work was done, and he was eating and drinking with the relatives and friends of this family. The host of this family praised him for his good work and invited him to drink with him.

Xiang Yu, who had just turned ten, was here with his uncle Xiang Liang.

According to his seniority, he should not be here, but knowing that he was Xiang Liang's favorite nephew and Xiang Liang intended to take him with him, the host arranged him here.

Everyone was talking happily, and sometimes when they talked about Xiang Yu, they would praise Xiang Liang, saying that with such a talented child, the Xiang family would have an immeasurable future. Hearing everyone's praise, Xiang Yu was humble and thanked everyone who praised him one by one, but his face showed a matter-of-fact expression.

This was not simply conceit or pride. Xiang Yu believed that it should be so. He was just as those who praised him said, with double pupils, and should be a saint or emperor.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, and it was obvious that many people were rushing towards this side.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but frown, and Xiang Liang looked even more serious.

He was the son of Xiang Yan and had led troops to the battlefield. He could tell at once that this was not an ordinary sound of running, but the sound of an army marching, with the sound of horses' hooves.

But where did the army come from, and where was the cavalry in this army?
Xiang Liang knew everything about the military forces in Xiaxiang County and even the entire Sishui County. If any troops were mobilized, someone would send him the news in time.

But recently, he did not receive any news that any army would come to Xiaxiang. This might be an army that he did not expect!
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang stood up decisively and said to Xiang Yu: "Yu, follow me!"

Without caring about the reactions of the other people in the house, the uncle and nephew hurried out.

No matter what the intention of this army was, perhaps they just happened to pass by and did not come for their Xiang family, but Xiang Liang did not dare to gamble.

But before he left the house, he saw dozens of Qin soldiers rushing in, and there were more Qin soldiers coming behind them. Xiang Liang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He was afraid that he would have a hard time escaping today. He quickly covered Xiang Yu and went back into the house.

Even if these Qin troops did not come for their uncle and nephew but for other people, once they were surrounded, they would have to go through careful inspection if they wanted to get out, and they might even be thrown into jail.

Xiang Liang now only hopes that he is not here for the Xiang family...

Back in the house, Xiang Liang quickly tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, tied it to Xiang Yu's eyes, and whispered: "Yu, you must say that you are blind and cannot see people later."

Although Xiang Yu was young, he understood his uncle's intention, which was to cover his double pupils to prevent them from being discovered by the Qin army and causing trouble.

After instructing Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang bowed to everyone in the room and said, "Please help me. The Xiang family will be grateful!"

At this time, the leading Qin Jun had already rushed out of the house, glanced at everyone in the house, and said in Qinqiang: "Don't move, otherwise don't blame us."

The Qin army quickly rushed into the house and subdued everyone, but no one moved. Although the Qin army was a fierce and fierce army, its military discipline was pretty good, and generally speaking, they would not kill people indiscriminately.

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and a figure came into the sight of everyone except Xiang Yu. The man was sitting on a horse, glancing at everyone in the room. When he saw the blindfolded Xiang Yu, he couldn't help but laugh, and a smile appeared on his face.

Before he even started looking, the target revealed itself!

Suddenly, Meng Yi understood why the target who was suspected to be Xiang Yu covered his eyes. He obviously wanted to pretend to be blind to deceive him. Unfortunately, he already knew in advance that Xiang Yu had double pupils, so his cleverness backfired.

But it’s not their fault. How could they know that Li Nian told them the history?
But is Xiang Yu really just a child of only about ten years old?

Judging from his physique, he is more like a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old. At least he was not so strong when he was ten years old.

"He is indeed a natural genius, extraordinary!"

Meng Yi sighed in his heart. Seeing this strong boy who was suspected to be Xiang Yu, the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down. He finally did not disappoint the king!

Noticing the smile on Meng Yi's face when he looked at Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang's heart sank. He thought of an extremely bad possibility: this Qin general knew that Xiang Yu had double pupils!
Then, if he covered Yu's eyes with a cloth, wouldn't he be just like the man who covered his ears to steal the bell in "Lüshi Chunqiu"? Being too clever may lead to mistakes!
