In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"Sigh, let's go find some food. I saw a herd of horses on the other side of the river a couple of days ago. It's been a long time since I've had horse meat. Let's try some today!"

Having said that, he emerged from the cave, transformed back into a striped tiger, and ran towards the river.

He himself didn't notice that a dark glint was silently spreading in the depths of his eyes.

Chapter 795 Apology?

"Uncle, you were looking for us?" Xiang Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his palm, and in doing so, he also wiped the sweat from his bangs, making him look very energetic.

Xiang Liang sat in the head seat, looking at the two brothers standing at the door with a subtle gaze.

Zishu sat beside him, his face filled with fear and unease.

"...You all, please sit down first. I have something to ask you." Xiang Liang coughed twice and pointed to the seat to his left.

The two brothers took their seats, and Xiang Liang stroked his beard.

"You guys made Wu Ju cry again?" Xiang Liang asked, looking heartbroken.

Xiang Yu and Xiang An both jumped in surprise, but neither of them answered.

"You guys—sigh." Xiang Liang slapped his thigh. "What am I supposed to say to you?"

"That Wu Ju is, after all, one of my customers, and you've managed to make him cry. This is the third time in a month. Tell me, what are you all doing...?"

The two brothers' eyes darted around, and even the usually serious Xiang Yu was looking around, seemingly lost in thought.

"Look at me!" Xiang Liang roared, and the two brothers quickly looked at him, sitting up straight.

"Disrespectful sir, is this how your elder brother taught you?"

Peng!

Xiang Liang, his face full of anger, slammed his hand on the table.

"Disrespecting teachers and elders is a sign of immorality! Do you all want to be immoral people?!"

"I arranged for you to learn Wu Ju. If you don't respect him, does that mean you don't respect me either?"

The two brothers lowered their heads, silent as if trembling in fear, while Zishu beside them was also terrified.

Although he knows magic, he really can't beat Xiang Liang. These generals who fought their way up on the battlefield are all as strong as monsters.

Xiang Liang was probably really angry. He slammed the table in half, stood up abruptly, walked down and gave each of the two brothers a big whack, then went back and sat down as if he hadn't done anything.

The two brothers sat below, covering their faces, not daring to speak.

"Go back and apologize properly!" Xiang Liang erupted like a volcano; this was the first time the two brothers had ever seen him so angry. "Whether you get forgiveness or not is up to you! But if Wu Ju doesn't forgive you, be careful, or I'll beat you up!"

"Yes, Uncle." Xiang Yu said sullenly and tried to walk out. Xiang An followed behind him, the two of them looking like two quails.

"Wait!" Xiang Liang reached out and stopped the two.

"Uncle, is there anything else? Let's go apologize." Xiang Yu had a very obvious red and swollen handprint on his face, but he pretended to be calm and looked at Xiang Liang, which almost made Zi Shu next to him laugh. Zi Shu quickly composed himself and became serious.

"Have you two... been to Pangshan, the Pangshan in Pei?" Xiang Liang asked, looking into Xiang Yu's eyes.

"...Uncle, no." After a moment's thought, Xiang Yu replied, "We followed Wen Ju to Xiaxiang first, and then went straight to Kuaiji. Pei is north of Kuaiji, so we would have to take a detour, which is why we didn't go to Pangshan."

"...I see. Go ahead, just remember to be sincere." Xiang Liang stroked his beard, nodded, then glared at the two brothers before letting them go.

Sun and Moon Splendor

"Never been to Pangshan...?" After the two brothers ran off quickly, Zishu pinched his chin. "Then how exactly did this cause and effect arise...?"

“Thinking about this is pointless. It’s spring planting season right now. After I finish what I’m doing, I’ll take these two kids to Pangshan.” Xiang Liang sighed and stood up. “My third and fourth brothers are both busy. It’s really not right for me, as their older brother, to be idle.”

"Although I am not the governor of Kuaiji, I must always keep the people of Kuaiji in my heart." Xiang Liang's expression was profound. "If I cannot fulfill my father's last wish, then I must at least... do my best to fulfill it and create the necessary conditions for those who can!"

"Yes, I understand, sir." Zishu said, and then ran off.

But Xiang Liang grabbed him.

"My...sir?" Zishu's face was covered in cold sweat.

"Don't even think about running away. Before that, you'd better teach those two brats properly!" Xiang Liang said, grabbing Zi Shu's arm with a sullen face, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"I...I understand." Zi Shu really wanted to slap himself twice. Why didn't he run faster just now?

Xiang Liang released Zi Shu.

Hmph, trying to escape?

......

"Brother, what do we do?" Xiang An followed behind Xiang Yu with a bitter expression.

"I don't know," Xiang Yu said, also feeling troubled.

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Ju actually taught quite well, but the two of them just couldn't muster any interest, which led to this result.

"It really was our fault, Xiang An..." Xiang Yu sighed, touching his face. Xiang Liang's slap just now had really hurt; he was genuinely angry.

“Then… let’s go apologize to Mr. Wu.” Xiang An quickened his pace and walked alongside Xiang Yu. “Otherwise, what if my uncle blames us and locks up the training ground?”

Xiang Yu lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.

“While that’s a valid reason, but… Xiang An, do you really think it’s okay for us to apologize to Wu Ju with this attitude?” Xiang Yu’s face was serious.

"elder brother......"

“Although I can’t remember much about my father, at least he never taught us to be immoral.” Xiang Yu stopped and scratched his face. “Although Mr. Wu Ju’s teachings were not what we liked, we…did go a bit too far.”

Xiang An lowered his head as well: "Yes...it was indeed a bit too much to make him cry...and to make my uncle so angry..."

"However, that doesn't change the fact that I don't like listening to his lectures." Xiang Yu suddenly changed his tone, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

A strange smile.

"As our instructor, he has always given us questions. This time, while we apologize, how about we give him a question in return?" Xiang Yu looked at Xiang An in front of him, his eyes filled with...sinister intent?

"Oh?" Xiang An's eyes also became inscrutable.

The two brothers laughed together.

The brothers' laughter sent chills down the spines of the servants and maids passing by, who quickly walked away.

"We'll apologize tomorrow morning. We'll go out and get something later, and then..."

"Hehe, as expected of you, bro. Wu Ju's expression is going to be interesting..."

......

the next day.

Xiang Liang had just gotten up and was planning to go to the training ground behind the house to practice for a while and stretch his body.

Then he heard some noise outside the courtyard and frowned.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" He went out and pushed through the crowd.

Then I saw something that left me speechless.

Chapter 796 Bearing Thorns to Plead Guilty

The brothers Xiang Yu and Xiang An are now kneeling on one knee in front of Wu Ju's gate.

Shockingly, the two brothers were shirtless, their upper bodies bare, each carrying heavy bundles of thorns on their backs. They were supporting themselves with one hand on the ground, and their expressions were not visible because their heads were bowed.

This scene attracted many passersby, including many of Xiang's household servants and maids, as well as other guests of Xiang Liang.

"Oh, sir, what's going on here..." A servant bowed and scraped as he approached a retainer and asked in a low voice.

"These two brothers are Lord Xiang Liang's nephews. Since their return, Lord Xiang Liang has always treated them like his own sons." The retainer looked shocked and touched. "However, it has always been said that the two brothers are extremely unruly and have made their teacher cry several times. Lord Xiang Liang even lost his temper yesterday."

"Then what is this...?"

"I can only say that although these two brothers are unruly, they are definitely promising talents! This act of 'bearing thorns to apologize,' a story of reconciliation between generals and ministers, is not something everyone can make up their mind to do!" the retainer said excitedly. "And it was the master who carried thorns to apologize to the retainer!"

Hearing the commotion at the door, Wu Ju opened it in confusion, only to be startled by the scene before him.

The brothers Xiang Yu and Xiang An carried thorns on their backs to apologize, and a large crowd gathered around them, discussing the matter.

As soon as Wu Ju came out, the surroundings fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"This...this..." Wu Ju felt his brain crash.

"Sir! Your student, Xiang Yu, has come to apologize!"

"Sir! Your student, Xiang An, has come to apologize!"

The two brothers suddenly spoke in unison, raising their heads to look at Wu Ju, clasping their hands in a fist salute, their voices strong and resonant.

Wu Juhu's body trembled: Meaning!

“Sir, we brothers are unruly and have offended you, causing you to refuse to teach us. We were wrong!” Xiang Yu said with a “sincere” expression. Because of the large movements, the thorns on his back pierced his skin, drawing a lot of blood.

“If you are still angry, please take the thorny branch off my back and whip me. We brothers only ask that you come back and continue to teach us!” Xiang An’s eyes were also very “clear”.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy? Why are you all gathered here... Huh?" Xiang Liang squeezed through the crowd at this moment, initially trying to shoo them away, but when he saw the two brothers carrying thorns to apologize, he was completely stunned.

Wu Ju, still in a daze, was once again struck by Xiang Liang's voice.

However, this hit actually brought Wu Ju to his senses a little more.

He lowered his head and looked at the two brothers.

As a scholar, how could he not know to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back?

But this—

It's a minor issue, is it really worth making such a fuss about?

This is putting me on the hot seat!

I'll take it off and use it on you! What would I be like if I actually used it on you!

I... I only said a few angry words yesterday, I never said I really wouldn't teach you anymore, I... I—

No, those two brats are clearly trying to trick me. I can't let them get away with it. I have to think of something...
