Chapter 274

The letter written by Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang to Master Xiang Boxiang at the turn of life and death is as follows:
"Brother Xiang Bo, I'm farewell to Pengcheng. Unexpectedly, I haven't seen him for two years. The world is far away. I don't know how my brother is doing. My younger brother is incompetent. The king of Zuohan has not made an inch of merit. He knows that Xiang Kang is disrespectful and disrespectful to his brother. He is still forced to bow down. In his army, he was ashamed of his uncle, even though he died, he still feels guilty. However, the younger brother can swear to Tianming that he will never forget the old relationship with his brother, but if he has the opportunity, he will return to his uncle to apologize face to face, and reunite with him. Childhood love.

The younger brother was trapped on the cliff in vain, relying on the blessings of heaven, Xiang Kang did not trust the younger brother, and the younger brother heard a secret important matter by chance in Xianyang. With Xiang Kang, there was a blood edict hidden in his belt, ordering Xiang Kang to attack Chu, capture the overlord, and return the great government of Chu to him.Emperor Yi also knew that his brother and Xiang Kang were at odds. Xiang Kang had long wanted to kill his brother, but he did not dare to make mistakes hastily because of his superiority, seniority and parenting. Xiang Kang made a promise in front of him, vowing to kill his uncle, Xiang You, and Xiang Sui's two good nephews by the king's order, not only to vent his anger for Xiang Kang, but also to save Xiang Kang from the name of killing relatives.Xiong Xin is treacherous, Xiang Kang is treacherous, brother Wang must be on guard.

In addition, I also know that Xiang Kang, in order to cooperate with Xiong Xin, has sent many people to come to Pengcheng with beautiful jade and gold beads, and secretly bribed the overlord's close officials, pretending to persuade the overlord to move Xiong Xin to a remote wasteland, in fact, to save Xiong Xin from Pengcheng, so that Xiang Kang took things from it, welcomed the bear's heart in Guanzhong Xianyang, trapped the overlord and his brother in a place of infidelity and injustice, the princes rebelled, and the world abandoned them.The elder brother is the close relative of the Overlord, and they are connected by flesh and blood, so we must guard against it.

My little brother is cheeky, the monarch Han Cheng was unfortunately captured alive by Nanyang King, and he was detained in Wancheng. , to repay my brother's kindness... "

The rest of the content is Zhang Liang's strong plea to Xiang Bo, Master Xiang, to save Han Cheng's life and leave blood and incense to the Korean royal family, and hinted that as long as Xiang Bo can do it, he is willing to continue to serve as Xiang Bo's internal support.But Master Xiang Boxiang was not in the mood to look at them anymore. Master Xiang Boxiang gritted his teeth, his eyes were dark, and he stared at that sentence——swear to kill his uncle and the two sages Xiang You and Xiang Sui by the king's order. nephew!
"Very good! Xiong Xin, very good! I never thought that you, a little scorpion, would be so vicious. In order to please that little bastard Xiang Kang, you dared to offer to help that little bastard kill the old man's family. You are so cruel and merciless. Look at you little bastard!"

His eyes almost burst into flames at the same time, and Uncle Xiang couldn't help but feel fear after another. Uncle Xiang knew that Xiang Kang hated him more than anyone else, but it was only because of his blood and blood that he never dared to kill him. Uncle Xiang never imagined that Xiong Xin would take the initiative to ask Ying to be this villain in order to win Xiang Kang into his use, using the blood and lives of his father and son to please Xiang Kang!If Xiong Xin and Xiang Kang really got their way, what else would he have to survive?
That's not enough, what makes Xiang Bo even more frightened is that even if Xiong Xin doesn't have the ability to kill himself for the time being, there is no guarantee that he will have such an opportunity in the future, and after he reminds Xiang Kang of this method, as long as the opportunity is right, Xiang Kang You can still use other people's hands to get rid of yourself, and you don't have to bear the infamy of being a nephew and uncle, but also you can get rid of the shame, and take revenge on yourself for deliberately making things difficult for him many times before, and stabbing him in the back!How many reasons does Xiang Kang want to kill Xiang Bo, no one knows better than Xiang Bo himself!
Under the rage, Xiang Bo, who was also hot-tempered, almost tore up Zhang Liang's letter. Fortunately, Xiang Bo knew better than Xiang Yu, so he forcibly suppressed his anger, and then immediately said to Xiang You: "Your Uncle Zhang sent you a letter." Where is the messenger who came? Take me to him at once."

Xiang Bo, the envoy sent by Zhang Liang, has never seen him before, but it is not surprising. After years of fighting, Zhang Liang's confidantes and family members in Xiapi had already withered away, including Zhang Liang's younger brother Han who was very familiar with the Xiang family's children. Li Du had already died in battle, and because Zhang Liang's letter was stamped with the seal of his Korean Situ, Xiang Bo did not doubt the authenticity of the messenger's identity at all, he just asked directly: "Zoufang mentioned in the letter How did he know about it?"

"Master Situ, he heard the news from Xu Ji, the head of Xiang Kang's guard." Zhang Liang's messenger replied honestly: "Before, Master Situ marched in Xiangkang in order to get Xiang Kang to help our King of Korea restore the country. I tried my best to help in Guanzhong, made some contributions to Xiang Kang, gained a certain trust from Xiang Kang, and was able to accompany him from time to time."

"When Emperor Yi sent a secret envoy to contact Xiang Kang, our Lord Situ happened to be there, but Xiang Kang didn't let our Lord Situ participate in the meeting with the secret envoy of Emperor Yi. Lord Situ knew that there must be something weird in it, and he was also worried that the matter would have something to do with our King Han. Xu Ji, who secretly bought Xiang Kang's guard, inquired about the details, and unexpectedly found out important news about you, Master. Our Master Situ was worried that you would be killed by a traitor, so we hurriedly sent a villain to send a letter a thousand miles away. Remind Master to be careful."

Uncle Xiang gritted his teeth again, and without any hesitation, he immediately said, "Go back and tell Zhang Situ, and just say thank you for your great kindness. I will remember this kindness, and please rest assured that Mr. Hengyang's affairs are in my hands." As long as the old man is still alive, he will never let anyone hurt Lord Hengyang. But if there is a chance, I will try to persuade King Xichu to release Lord Hengyang and let him go back to reunite with you Zhang Situ."

"Thank you, Master Xiang." Zhang Liang's messenger hurriedly thanked him, and then said very carefully: "Master, please keep it a secret that our Master Situ sent a villain here. Xiang Kang has an eyeliner in Pengcheng. The King of Chu There are still people under his command who may be his internal support, once the news that the villain came to deliver the letter to you for Lord Situ, our Lord Situ will definitely be killed immediately."

"Don't worry about this, except for the old man, father and son and King Xiang, no one will know that you Zhang Situ sent you to deliver the letter." Uncle Xiang patted his chest to assure him, and then instructed Xiang You: "You Son, you personally arrange the residence for your Uncle Zhang's messenger, and keep his identity secret, so that he can be entertained, and as a father, I will enter the palace and meet your elder brother, King Xichu."

"Father, it's already dark, and you haven't had dinner yet, how about tomorrow?"

Xiang You's kind dissuasion was exchanged for Xiang Bo's angry scolding, "Idiot! Can such a thing wait until tomorrow? Ask someone to prepare a car for me immediately, and I will eat dinner when I come back!"

Logically speaking, it was already dark, and ordinary courtiers would hardly have any chance to enter the palace to meet Xiang Yu. Fortunately, Master Xiang Bo had an extraordinary status. Xiang Yu also immediately ordered to summon Master Xiang Bo Xiang who said that there was an urgent matter to report.And our master Xiang was very cautious when he was serious. After meeting Xiang Yu, he first went to Xiang Yu to temporarily retreat from the left and right sides, and then presented Zhang Liang's informant letter to Xiang Yu.

The letter did not mention what Xiong Xin was going to do to Xiang Yu. Of course, Xiang Yu was not as excited and scared as Master Xiang, but when he saw Xiang Kang sending people to bribe his close ministers, Xiang Yu was still furious. Kuai Che, who was urging him to move Xiong Xin to central Fujian, said angrily, "Kuai Che Shuzi, has he already accepted bribes from Xiang Kang's traitor?"

"Your Majesty, we can slowly investigate the matter of Kuai Chepifu. The most important thing now is what we should do with Xiongxin." It was a matter of his own life. Quickly reminded: "Xiong Xin, in order to please Xiang Kang, that little beast, since he can kill me for the little beast, he can also kill you for the little beast. You must not take this matter lightly, my lord."

"Only by him?" Xiang Yu snorted contemptuously, and said, "This king can crush a hundred bear-hearted children to death with one hand!"

"But Xiong Xin is the co-lord of the world that you led the princes to recommend." Xiang Bo stomped his feet and said: "Although he has no real power, if Xiong Xin issues an edict to taint you as a traitor and traitor, the princes of the world and Xiang Kang The little evil animal can justifiably send troops to attack you, and even if you don’t have to be afraid of these mobs, my lord, if you don’t have the name of righteousness, even if you win, you will still be hard-pressed.”

Xiang Yu never cared about righteousness and reputation, and his reaction was not intense, while Master Xiang was very anxious, and hurriedly fanned the flames: "My lord, if you were not sure before, now you should see clearly what kind of idiot Xiongxin is. Right? Back then, our Xiang family supported him on the throne, so he dared not thank our Xiang family, and colluded with Song Yi to try to deprive you of your military power, and almost succeeded!"

"After the incident was defeated, you forgive him, my lord, but how can he thank you? Knowing that you were fighting fiercely with the Tyrant Qin army in the Central Plains, Xiang Kang's little villain sneaked into the military pass from Wuguan, and he deliberately issued an order, announcing The one who enters Guanzhong first is the king, and he is determined to support Xiang Kang's little beast to fight against you, so that you can't justly be crowned king even after you have made great achievements, and let Xiang Kang, that little beast, take advantage of it for nothing."

"This matter, your lord, you forgave him again. Not only did you not argue with him, but you also led the princes to respect him as the co-lord of the world, but how can he repay you? He even issued a blood edict to Xiang Kang's little evil animal, and let Xiang Kang The evil animal has contacted the princes of the world to harm you together, again and again, do you want to forgive Xiongxin for the third time, my lord?!"

Xiang Bo's other skills are mediocre, but his ability to fan the flames is beyond the reach of ordinary people. After hearing his instigation, he recalled Xiong Xin's ingratitude—and it was indeed ungrateful. Xiang Yu's face quickly darkened. , Xiang Yu also ordered: "Call Cao Jiu and Yafu to see me immediately."

"Wait a minute, nephew." Uncle Xiang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle Ji thinks that if you want to call nephews to discuss it, there is no need for them. They will never give you any good ideas."

"Why?" Xiang Yu asked suspiciously.

"Nephew, have you forgotten that it was Yafu who fought against all opinions in front of your second uncle and encouraged our Xiang family to support him?" Xiang Bo asked rhetorically, and then said: "Now, nephew, you can consult with him. How could he not speak for Xiong Xin about things related to Xiong Xin? And how could he agree with nephew Xian that you did something that was not good for Xiong Xin and slapped him in the mouth? "

After casually putting a shit bowl on old man Fan, Master Xiang went on to say: "As for Cao Sima, he is loyal to your nephew, but he is too independent in doing things, and he is at the mercy of my father. What Yafu said to him is usually more effective than what you say to him, nephew, haven't you discovered this, nephew?"

Xiang Yu's face became more and more gloomy, and Xiang Bo persuaded him earnestly: "Nephew, Xiong Xin is so ungrateful to this point, you must not stay, keep him, no matter who may hit him The banner is against you, and he may suddenly stab you in the back at any time, as before, so it is better to make a quick decision and directly dispose of or kill him, so that we can get rid of it once and for all, and there will be no more disasters."

Xiang Yu nodded slowly, and asked again: "In your opinion, should we abolish him? Or execute him directly?"

In order not to give Xiong Xin the chance to help Xiang Kang kill him, Uncle Xiang really wanted to suggest that Xiang Yu chop up Xiong Xin with a single knife, but Uncle Xiang could see that Xiang Yu hadn't made up his mind yet, and he hadn't really made up his mind to kill Xiong Xin directly. , Then he gritted his teeth and said simply: "Nephew, there is something that I, Uncle Ji, haven't dared to tell you. Some time ago, when I was in charge of interrogating Xiong Xin's maidservant, someone among them confessed that it was When Xiong Xin heard that you had an arrow in your right eye, he not only clapped his hands happily, but also repeatedly asked his nephew if you would die of serious injuries? Later..., later he also..."

"What did he return later? Just say it!" Xiang Yu shouted lividly.

"Later, nephew, when you returned to Pengcheng, Xiong Xin saw you and returned to the back garden. He did another thing." Xiang Bo peeped at Xiang Yu's expression, and said cautiously: "He caught you with his own hands. I killed a bastard, stabbed that bastard's left eye, and laughed happily at that bastard for a long time—Nephew, do you know what this means?"

"What do you mean?" Xiang Yu asked sharply.

"Nephew, why don't you understand?" Uncle Xiang replied with a wry smile, "Nephew, you are the overlord of Western Chu. Unfortunately, you were shot in the right eye by an arrow and lost your sight. You don’t understand what it means to be stabbed in the left eye?”

Before Uncle Xiang finished speaking, the case in front of Xiang Yu flew into the air, but Xiang Yu's anger did not calm down, and he drew out his sword with a clang, and rushed out of the hall quickly, roaring with a dark face Said: "Prepare the horse for the king!"

Fearing that Xiang Yu might make a mistake in his rage, Uncle Xiang quickly followed, and as Xiang Yu rushed to the gate of Xiong Xin's palace, Uncle Xiang opened his mouth again, shouted back the palace guards who came up to stop him, and forced The guard immediately opened the palace gate and led Xiang Yu to meet Xiong Xin directly.And then, when Xiang Yu hurried into Xiong Xin's bedroom, the unlucky Emperor Chuyi, Xiong Xin, had just been awakened by the sound of footsteps, and just opened his eyes while yawning, when a bright sword was already used as a chest stab... Come……

"Zhuzi! How dare An insult me ​​like this?!"

The long-suppressed roar almost broke Xiong Xin's eardrums, and the sharp sword passed through his chest, directly piercing Xiong Xin's chest and back. With the help of the weak candlelight, Xiong Xin only saw Xiang Yu's ferocious face. The fierce green light shot out, and just as the mouth opened, blood spurted out of the mouth, and he died of grievances with his mouth wide open, twitching, and he didn't understand why Xiang Yu became so fierce and killed the king himself?

"Murdered—!"

"Brother—!"

The concubine serving the bedroom screamed first, then the guard Chang Xiang it who had just heard the news yelled unbelievably, and the other guards were in a mess, only Master Xiang Boxiang looked relaxed, and there was a slight hint of anger at the corner of his mouth. Smiling grinningly, he said to himself: "Xiao Zhuzi, let's see if you still dare to kill the old man for Xiang Kang's little beast?"

After snickering, Master Xiang Bo, who hadn't had dinner until now, still grumbled a few times, which inevitably deepened Master Xiang's hatred for Xiong Xin - dare to make Master Xiang starve, What is it if you don't deserve death?
…………

It wasn't until the next morning that Cao Jiu, Fan Zeng, Kuai Che and others learned about Xiang Yu's killing of Xiong Xin. Shocked, Fan Zeng ran into the place barefoot without even his shoes on. The palace checked the situation, but it was too late too late. He urged Xiang Liang to support the king of Chu, Xiong Xin, who had turned into a cold corpse lying on the ground. Cao Jiu, who asked about the situation, yelled at him and asked Cao Jiu to mind his own business.

Old man Fan stood in front of Xiong Xin's corpse, without saying a word for a long time. Finally, Kuai Che came forward and said in a low voice, "Yafu, it's too late to say anything now. Block the news, and say that Emperor Yi is a violent man." Died of illness, bury him with the ceremony of the Son of Heaven, and try to restore people's hearts."

Old Man Fan nodded dejectedly, as if he had suddenly aged a few years, and muttered in a low voice, "Now, I finally fulfilled that little traitor's wish."

The fire cannot be contained in the paper, even though the insiders were banned, and no matter how old man Fan, Cao Jiu and others buried Xiong Xin in a grand manner, they could not prevent the news of Xiang Yu's regicide from spreading quietly inside and outside Pengcheng .What made Old Man Fan, Cao Jiu and others even more helpless was that despite Kuai Che's repeated remonstrances, carefully analyzing the pros and cons, and urging Xiang Yu to let Jing Jia, a member of the clan of the Chu Kingdom, inherit the throne of Emperor Yi, and try his best to save people's hearts, Xiang Yu didn't want to let him go. There is another layer of restraint on the head, and he insists on refusing to obey.

In the end, Xiang Yu said impatiently and directly: "There is no need to support the co-lords of the world anymore. When the princes and kings who refuse to surrender are defeated by this king, this king will be the co-lords of the world! At that time, your reward titles will be indispensable!"

Kuai Che didn't dare to persuade him anymore. When he returned to his residence that day, another servant handed him another slip, saying that it was left by his friend An Qisheng when he came to bid farewell. Kuai Che took a look and saw the slip. There is only one line of words on the slip - hopeless, the old man is gone, so you can take care of yourself.

Kuai Che smiled wryly, and then said in a low voice after a while: "It's not necessarily true. King Chu Mu and King Zhao Huiwen both killed the king, and in the end they are still a generation of heroes. If the king of Western Chu can have the same ability as them, who will the world belong to in the future?" Not sure yet."
