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

Hu Hai believed it.

Then the music started, and then the dancing began.

Chapter 859 Liu Ji Slays the White Serpent

Xiang An and Zijuan finally found Xiong Xin.

However, when Xiong Xin was found, he was not herding sheep.

Because all the sheep were gone, slaughtered by the bear-hearted employer. The purpose... naturally, that small employer had also gathered a group of people to rebel, and some food was necessary to attract manpower.

So Xiong Xin lost his job and was sitting by the river in melancholy when Xiang An and Zijuan happened to find him.

"Your Highness...you're really in a sorry state..." Xiang An had already prepared a horse for Xiong Xin, and looked at the young man riding beside him with a look of dismay.

“Indeed, the desolation is truly astounding…” Zijuan smiled awkwardly but politely.

Xiong Xinren was numb and didn't know what to say, so he just rode his horse in silence, withdrawing into himself.

Xiang An turned his head and looked Xiong Xin up and down.

Now, Xiong Xin has changed into a normal long robe and his beard has been trimmed, making him quite handsome. It's just a pity that with the fall of the Chu Kingdom, he has fallen into a situation where he can't even herd sheep.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, you'll be returning in glory this time." Xiang An said, trying to comfort Xiong Xin, and leaned over to pat Xiong Xin's back twice.

Xiong Xin coughed twice after being patted by Xiang An, and sighed with a pained expression: "Feng Guang...you must be the grandson of Lord Wu'an, right?"

"Huh? Oh right, that should be it." Xiang An didn't react immediately upon hearing "Lord Wu'an," and after a couple of seconds, he realized that Lord Wu'an was referring to Xiang Yan, who was indeed his grandfather. "What is it, Your Highness?"

"You... don't you understand the significance of my return?" Xiong Xin's eyes were unfathomable, but there was no smile in them. He looked at Xiang An, making Xiang An feel a little uneasy.

"Huh? Ah? Aren't you going back to be King Huai of Chu? It'll be hard for me to be this close to you again then." Xiang An didn't seem to care much. Xiong Xin was about the same age as him, and he just felt that this younger brother seemed a bit shy.

Xiong Xin didn't say anything more, but just looked at Xiang An seriously, as if trying to see through Xiang An's disguise.

Xiang An looked at himself strangely, then touched his face: "Is there something on my face?"

Xiong Xin suddenly chuckled and shook his head: "No, no."

He raised his head, his hand gripping the reins slightly, and looked ahead: "Xiang An, you are a good person. Didn't you say that once I return to Kuaiji and become the King of Chu Huai, you will no longer be able to get close to me? Then I will grant you that right in advance."

Xiang An's gaze swept past Xiong Xin and met Zi Juan's, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

What is he saying?

“However, Xiang An, your horse is really strong…” After talking with Xiang An, Xiong Xin seemed to cheer up a bit. He looked at the swift horse that Xiang An was riding and exclaimed in admiration.

"Of course!" Xiang An immediately became proud. "Tuanchi is the best horse in the world!"

"Wheele!" Tuanchi raised its neck and let out a confident neigh.

“A black horse with white spots, so that’s how it is. This is the famous horse Dalang Tuanchi…” Xiong Xin exclaimed. “With such a fine steed, the general will surely be invincible on the battlefield.”

Hearing Xiong Xin's words, Tuan Chi lowered his head and became withdrawn.

"Huh?" Xiong Xin was bewildered.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're the most handsome, you're the most handsome..." Xiang An quickly went to comfort him, gently stroking Tuan Chi's neck, his expression pained.

"This?" Xiong Xin was completely bewildered.

“Your Highness, let me explain.” Zijuan sighed and gave a bitter smile. “When Second Brother and Tuanchi first met, Tuanchi had pure black fur, which was very beautiful. However, Tuanchi is a blue horse, and its color will fade with age, which means… it will develop these white spots.”

Zijuan pointed to the spots on Tuanchi's body.

"Tuanchi seems to have always been proud of his shiny black fur, so now he's a bit insecure..."

"Is that so?" Xiong Xin felt he had learned something new. Did he know that horses could feel inferior because of changes in their coat color?

"In short, let's go back quickly." Xiong Xin coughed twice. "After all, we shouldn't delay things, right?"

Xiang An and Zijuan both nodded.

"Let's hurry up then." Xiong Xin wiped the sweat from his brow and was about to speed up.

But they found that Xiang An and Zijuan had already rushed out.

I declare... this is a victory for pragmatists!

The bear-hearted man is numb.

He's not good at horseback riding!

"You two wait for me! Aaaaaah!"

!

"

......

Liu Ji and his group are building a mountain stronghold.

For now, his only idea is to be a Robin Hood-like outlaw in Mangdang Mountain, robbing the rich to help the poor; he has no other particular plans.

He is currently inspecting his "territory".

But in a daze, he seemed to see something appear in front of him.

In the middle of the road is... a huge white python?

"Boss, boss—" The man accompanying them was startled by the giant python and was about to cry out.

"Shut up." Liu Ji covered the man's mouth and narrowed his eyes.

"I'll go take a look." After saying that, he cautiously walked towards the white python.

Liu Ji has always been exceptionally brave since childhood, and there is practically nothing that can frighten him, not even this enormous white python that is more than four or five zhang long.

Liu Ji bent down and quietly approached the large white python, carefully examining it.

Its body is covered in crystal-clear, pure white, reflective scales, as beautiful as crystal.

Liu Ji's attention, however, did not linger on the beautiful scales; he observed the white python's condition.

It seems like...she's asleep.

Turning his head, Liu Ji looked at the mountain stronghold built behind him, then glanced at the white python, and drew his bronze sword, raising it high.

The group of people following behind him covered their mouths, too horrified to make a sound.

Liu Ji didn't hesitate much and slashed the bronze sword down at the white python's neck.

Although it's hard, you can still cut it!

puff-

Blood spurted from the white python's neck.

Hiss hiss hiss—!

"!" With its neck cut off, the white python was immediately awakened and tried to break free from Liu Ji's restraints, but was directly suppressed by Liu Ji's monstrous strength.

Liu Ji's eyes were bloodshot as he desperately pressed down on the long sword in his hand, completely ignoring the long white body that was coiling towards him.

"Well--!

! ”

Click—click.

The sound of bones breaking rang out from under the sword, and a large spurt of blood gushed from the white python's mouth.

Liu Ji chopped off the white python's head.

The enormous body writhed wildly, but Liu Ji had already broken free. He wiped the sweat from his brow and breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, it shouldn't threaten my stronghold anymore." He wiped the blood-stained bronze sword clean, sheathed it, and smiled with his hands on his hips.

But he didn't notice how admiring the group of people behind him were.

Chapter 860 King Huai of Chu Returns to the Throne

"This... is Kuaiji." Xiong Xin looked at the city wall in the distance and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

I... have finally returned to Kuaiji.

"Young Master, let's go into the city first." Zijuan looked at Xiong Xin with a smile. "Second Brother has already spoken with Uncle beforehand. Now that Kuaiji County has been taken over, the banquet should have already been set up."

His eyes dimmed for a moment, then Xiong Xin forced a smile and smiled at Zijuan: "Well, let's... go into the city first."

He understood that what awaited him was a life as a mascot.

Xiang Liang wanted to rebel, but he also wanted to claim the moral high ground. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to rebel in his own name. If he did rebel in his own name, not many people would respond to him.

However, if he were to rebel in the name of King Huai of Chu, it would not be a simple rebellion, but a restoration of the glory of the Chu state!

If you talk about this with the people of the old Chu region, they won't be sleepy anymore.

Putting aside everything else, during the time that Xiang Anzijuan went to "welcome" King Huai of Chu, Xiong Xin, several groups of people came to Kuaiji to join Xiang Liang. Now Xiang Liang has at least 15,000 troops at his disposal, which is almost double the number before!

But did King Huai of Chu really have the rights of a king?

Anyone with eyes to see could see that all Xiang Liang wanted was the title of King Huai of Chu. As for Xiong Xin, who was about to become King Huai of Chu, he would only be a puppet to be manipulated at Xiang Liang's whim.

However, despite the bitterness in his heart, Xiong Xin decided to accept it.

After all, this is much more comfortable than herding sheep by myself, not to mention that I can't even herd sheep anymore now.

So, overall, Xiong Xin is quite happy, not to mention... that certain possibility...

Upon entering Kuaiji City, Xiong Xin's first sight was the welcoming crowds lining both sides of the road.

The cheers and shouts were even more enthusiastic than when the First Emperor toured the country, making Xiong Xin's ears tingle.

He stared blankly at these people, these people who belonged to the State of Chu, feeling his heart trembling.

"Young master, what do you think?" Zijuan followed behind Xiong Xin with a slight smile on her face.

Xiong Xin just stared at the surging crowd, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
