"You said we met... on the plateau in the west, right?" Xiang Yu sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness.
“Yes, Yu will never forget that day, that day—” Yu Meiren clutched her heart with both hands, becoming emotional.
"Alright, alright, stop talking! Didn't we just say this? Now let me finish!" Xiang Yu said impatiently, quickly interrupting Yu Meiren.
Swallowing hard to catch his breath, Xiang Yu continued, "Although saying this might hurt your feelings, I also vaguely remember those memories."
"...Could you please give me some leeway?"
He didn't look directly at Yu Meiren, a bead of sweat on his face.
......
Yu Meiren walked out of the Xiang residence, looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
It wasn't accepted...
...However, this is not surprising.
...Not surprising.
Yu Meiren pursed her lips and walked along the street towards the outskirts of Kuaiji City.
All that remains in Kuaiji City are the shouts of the night watchman and the occasional barking of dogs.
Yu Meiren gritted her teeth and quickened her pace at the street corner, leaving Kuaiji City without a word.
Xiang Yu sat on the steps of the front hall and let out a long sigh.
"Brother, that woman left?" Xiang An appeared out of nowhere and sat down next to Xiang Yu.
"...Why don't you go to sleep?" Xiang Yu glanced at Xiang An speechlessly.
Then Xiang Jing and Zi Juan also appeared.
Xiang Yu: ......
"Why didn't your uncle and fourth uncle beat you up?" he asked with a puzzled expression.
"Whether or not to beat him up is another matter, big brother, what's going on?" Zijuan, looking like a curious little gossip, moved closer to Xiang Yu.
"Yeah, that woman was pretty, why did you let her get away?" Xiang Jing leaned closer to Xiang Yu from behind.
"Tell me about it, brother," Xiang An insisted forcefully.
"What's there to say! Everyone's gone and nothing happened, isn't that obvious?!" Xiang Yu suddenly stood up, sounding extremely aggrieved, his voice almost breaking down. "I don't know anything! This mess—I don't know anything about it!"
The three siblings exchanged a glance.
“But I saw that woman seemed very sad when she left. It’s so late at night, you’re letting a woman walk alone in the dark…” Xiang An looked at Xiang Yu, hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"..."
Xiang Yu remained silent for about five seconds.
"You all... should go back to sleep right away."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Xiang Jing and Zi Juan looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Alright, you two can go back now. I'll wait for my brother to come back," Xiang An said, shooing them away.
Xiang Jing and Zi Juan were reluctantly sent back to the villa to sleep. Xiang An squatted alone in the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky, waiting for Xiang Yu while lost in thought.
Xiang Yu didn't arrive, but Xiang An did.
"Uncle? What brings you here?" Xiang An looked at Xiang Liang with some surprise.
Xiang Liang has a lot of work during the day, so he rarely stays up late at night to ensure he has the energy for the next day.
But I actually stayed up all night tonight?
"No, I was just thinking about something." Xiang Liang was still troubled.
He had been worried since the early years when Xiang Yu and Xiang An were sent back by the Black-faced Ghost Wen Ju.
Who exactly is my elder brother?
He thought he had forgotten about this issue because he was busy preparing for revenge, but the arrival of Yu Meiren today has rekindled Xiang Liang's question.
Before Xiang Yu and Xiang An were taken back to the Xiang residence by the Black-Faced Ghost, they remembered following Xiang Chao. The last place Xiang Chao went was in the southwest.
Although the final destination was the southwest, Xiang Yu and Xiang An were both quite old. If they had always followed Xiang Chao outside the pass, how could they have only stayed in the southwest? Moreover, Xiang Liang felt that Xiang Yu and Xiang An's superb martial arts skills were completely beyond the reach of the small-town tribes of Ailao and Dianyue.
Could it be that he was trained on the plateau to the west?
After all, this strange Yu Meiren was as skilled in martial arts as Xiang Yu and Xiang An. She knocked Zijuan, who had reached the average level of a general, to the ground with one move, without even hurting Zijuan.
But even more questions remain...
Xiang Liang's brain is about to explode from thinking about these things.
"You two, really can't remember anything from the past?" Xiang Liang asked Xiang An this question again, his face full of exhaustion.
"I can still remember the outline of some things, but most things... I really don't remember." Xiang An scratched his head and blinked a couple of times. "I only remember... fighting. My brother and I were always fighting. As for the rest, I don't remember much."
"Don't you remember the reason for the battle, the purpose of the battle, the justification for the battle?" Xiang Liang pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"I don't remember. If I remembered, I would have told you already, Uncle." Xiang An spread his hands innocently.
“…That’s true, then let’s wait until you remember.” Xiang Liang sighed, then suddenly remembered something, “What about that woman? Do you remember? The woman who defeated Xiao Si today.”
"Hmm... Uncle, now that you mention it..." Xiang An stroked his chin, "Based on the few things I can think of, this woman might have fought with the two of us?"
Xiang Liang rolled his eyes.
"Asking is pointless!"
He walked away grumbling.
Xiang An was left standing there, bewildered and at a loss.
Xiang Yu was completely dumbfounded.
"Where is she? She shouldn't have gone far." He ran along the street, searching for the woman named Yu Meiren.
Although judging from her martial arts skills, she shouldn't have any major problems walking at night, it was still somewhat... (To be continued)
------------
Why were his memories sealed in Chapter 840?
While Xiang Yu was searching for Yu Meiren, she had already arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake.
Xu Fu had been waiting there for a long time.
"Lord Yu, how was the harvest?" Xu Fu asked Yu Meiren with a slight smile.
"Sigh... No matter what, I've messed everything up..." Yu Meiren slumped down next to Xu Fu, looking utterly dejected.
"Hmm... Don't be sad. Although there was a little mishap in the middle, the final result was the best we expected, wasn't it?" Xu Fu smiled bitterly and patted Yu Meiren's shoulder. "Now you have at least met Xiang Yu. Things will be much easier in the future, right? This is a transformation from 0 to 1."
“That’s true, but…” Yu Meiren sighed, hugging her knees, “Lord Xiang Yu has actually forgotten what happened on the plateau…”
"Oh, it's not that I forgot." When it came to serious matters, Xu Fu's expression also became serious. "This time we are closer, and I can obtain more information."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
“It’s a seal.” Xu Fu’s face darkened. “Those two brothers have a very high-level seal on them, a seal that targets memories. So it’s not that Xiang Yu has forgotten you, Lord Yu, but that someone doesn’t want him to know his past memories.”
"...Who is it—ah!" Yu Meiren suddenly slammed her fist into her palm. "Could it be that person?"
"Who?" Xu Fu was completely confused.
“He is… an extremely despicable person!” Yu Meiren’s tone gradually turned to gritted teeth. “Xu Fu, you should still remember what I told you when you pulled me out of the sea, why I was floating in the sea, right?”
"I remember it was when you were stripped of all your magic and inevitably fell into a period of weakness. At that time, it rained heavily, and you... rushed into the river?" Xu Fu said after recalling for a long time.
"When I met Lord Xiang Yu, I fought not only with Lord Xiang Yu, but also with that guy named Xiang An. But besides those two brothers, there were two other people."
The Indestructible Chieftain
“One was just an ordinary person, I don’t remember him, but the other…” Yu Meiren’s voice was low and heavy, as if a volcano had erupted behind her. “It was him who suddenly stole all my magic power just when I was about to find Lord Xiang Yu, and then threw me to the ground…”
"Who is this guy? He's so despicable!" Xu Fu said angrily.
“It’s not that he’s immoral, but who knows who he is? Never mind.” Yu Meiren tossed her hair back. “That person should have died in the southwest. I don’t know the specifics.”
"However, he is indeed very strong, otherwise he could not have taken away all my magic power in one go, and I could not even resist." Yu Meiren seemed to have lost her spirit.
"Xu Fu, can you break that seal?" Yu Meiren suddenly looked up and asked.
“I can’t break it.” Xu Fu sighed helplessly. “The person who set this seal is far more skilled than me. Even if they could connect with the thought key patterns, I still can’t break it.”
"Sigh...Is that so?" Yu Meiren sighed, resting her chin on her hand.
Looking at the moonlit, shimmering waters of Taihu Lake, Yu Meiren always felt a little unwilling.
The hard-won reunion ended like this...
Why did they seal the brothers' memories in the first place?! How annoying!
While Yu Meiren was sitting by Taihu Lake, sulking, Xiang Yu, who had not found her, felt a void in his heart and returned to the Xiang residence.
"Brother, you're finally back." Xiang An, who was still sitting in the courtyard, greeted him. "Did you find that woman?"
"Why aren't you asleep yet..." Xiang Yu said, but still walked over to Xiang An, sat down, and sighed, "I couldn't find her. With her speed, she's probably already out of the city."
“Indeed…” Xiang An thought of the chase during the day and couldn’t help but shudder.
"Xiang An," Xiang Yu couldn't help but call out.
"What's wrong, bro?" Xiang An turned his head to look.
"Tell me... what kind of people were we before?" Xiang Yu murmured, gazing at the sky.
"I don't know," Xiang An replied readily. "Thinking too much will give me a headache. I don't want to think about it."
"Haha, that's true." Xiang Yu chuckled, patting his leg. "There's no use thinking so much. Just live in the present while thinking more about the future!"
"I'm going to sleep, you should go to sleep too!" Xiang Yu said, standing up and walking towards his room.
Xiang Yu took a deep breath.
Anyway, let's just take it one step at a time.
