In the backyard of Huaiyang County Government Office.

The black-armored guard knelt in front of Ying Zheng and reported in detail his discoveries over the past six months.

Ying Zheng listened quietly, interrupting from time to time.

"Can we recruit those people?"

The black-armored guard lowered his head even lower, "I am incompetent."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and said, "Don't ask about the mastermind, just ask about the hiding place of the accomplices."

"Yes, I understand."

Ying Zheng picked up a walnut from the table and played with it in his hands. "If you find anything, take your men directly there. I will leave a handwritten note for you. Wherever you go, you can seek help from the local guards."

"Yes! I will never let you down!"

In Xiang County under Sishui Commandery, Xiang Liang paced anxiously in the room.

"Cough cough~"

He coughed, bent down, held the edge of the bed and slowly sat down.

This time, he was really sick.

"Ah~"

After the two teams of death squads were sent to Huaiyang County, no news was heard from them.

I don’t know what their current situation is?

Judging from the date, Ying Zheng’s convoy should have arrived.

Ugh……

Duke Song has always been meticulous. Even if he was sealed in the city, he would find ways to send the letter.

unless……

Thinking of this, he stood up in fear.

No, something is very wrong.

Something must have happened!

"Someone! Come quickly!"

"Notify the young master, pack your bags and move immediately!"

"Where's the messenger? Hurry and deliver the message everywhere. Everyone, move to another place and lie low. We'll contact you again after the news has died down."

The entire Xiang Mansion suddenly became busy and chaotic.

Xiang Yu walked quickly towards Xiang Liang's bedroom with a spear in his hand. Behind him, a young servant was jogging anxiously to help him tidy up his clothes.

"Sir, please go slower. The clothes..."

Xiang Yu waved his hand impatiently, without stopping, turned the corner and headed straight for where Xiang Liang was.

"Uncle! What's going on? Why do we have to change places?"

When Xiang Liang saw Xiang Yu, he quickly pulled him into the house.

"Yu'er, you've come just in time. I'm telling you, Lord Song hasn't sent any letters back in a long time. Something must have happened! Ahem..."

Xiang Yu helped Xiang Liang sit down slowly and handed him a cup of hot tea.

"Uncle, you haven't recovered yet, don't worry so much."

He poured himself a glass as he spoke, "I heard that the entire Huaiyang County has been sealed off. It's normal that the news can't get out. Why are you so shocked, uncle?"

"Cough cough..."

Xiang Liang kept coughing, and he felt a little hesitant as he listened to Xiang Yu's words of comfort.

However, he has always been cautious, so it is better to move just in case.

"Yu'er's words make sense, but to be on the safe side, we'd better hide for a while."

Xiang Yu listened to his uncle's cough and felt a little impatient. "Then let's wait until morning. Uncle is weak and it's not easy for him to work at night."

Xiang Liang looked at the other person's worried eyes, and his heart warmed. "Okay, I'll listen to Yu'er and get busy tomorrow."

After a night's rest, the next day, when they were still packing up, a soldier rushed in at full speed.

"Where is my lord? My lord, something bad has happened! A large number of troops have suddenly been mobilized in the county today, and one of them is heading straight for the mansion. My lord, run away!"

Xiang Liang, who was drinking medicine, was horrified when he heard this. With a "clang", the medicine bowl fell to the ground and the medicine spilled all over the floor.

"Hurry up, don't take the things anymore, run away!"

"Where's Yu'er?"

The servant at the door bent over and quickly replied, "My lord, the young master is practicing martial arts in the martial arts field!"

"Go call him quickly, go straight through the martial arts field, there are horses there!"

Xiang Liang had no time to pack up, so he picked up a bag and followed his followers, running quickly towards the training ground.

In the martial arts arena, Xiang Yu, with his bare chest, wields his spear with great power.

"what!"

He thrust his spear across, shouted, and rushed towards the straw man.

"Yu'er! Hurry! There are soldiers surrounding us!"

When Xiang Yu heard his uncle's shouts outside the martial arts arena, he immediately put away his spear and ran in the direction of the voice.

"Uncle, is the news accurate? Where are we going?"

Xiang Liang grabbed his arm and ran towards the stables, saying as he ran, "The news is accurate. Let's go to Kuaiji County. There are old friends there who might be able to take you and me in!"

"Okay, uncle, let's go!"

The two men rode away on horseback with a group of soldiers.

Behind them, the huge Xiang Mansion soon fell into chaos of war, and some soldiers volunteered to stay behind to delay the pursuers.

Until the end, seeing that there were too many pursuers and Xiang Mansion was about to be captured, several soldiers changed direction and quickly ignited the firewood piled up in various places in the mansion.

The fire suddenly broke out with the help of the hot oil.

Thick smoke billowed, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The remaining soldiers laughed and threw themselves into the sea of ​​fire.

"Fire breaks out! The King of Qin must die! The people of Chu will live forever!"

The raging flames spread rapidly around, quickly engulfing the entire mansion.

Amidst crackling sounds, walls collapsed, beams broke, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and it would soon be reduced to ruins.

Xiang Yu, sitting on his horse, turned his head and looked at the thick smoke rising from the direction of Xiang Mansion. His eyes turned red with anger.

He gnashed his teeth and cursed, "King Zheng of Qin, I will burn Xianyang to avenge today's vengeance!"

The sound of horse hooves clattered as they raced along the mountain roads.

There are always one or two teahouses built at the intersection.

In the teahouse, the guests who were sitting down to rest heard the sound of horse hooves, and some looked on curiously, while others lowered their heads and did not dare to cause trouble.

But there are always a few people who, after they have left their group, stand up from the table, slowly move towards the direction they left.

The entire Black Armor Guard had already planted spies at every intersection.

No matter which direction they fled.

None of them could escape the black-armored guards' tight net.

A startled bird flies into the sky and cannot be found.

But humans can't fly.

Once people are frightened, they will simply flee to a place they think is safe and hide.

Run away.

Ying Zheng was slowly turning the two walnuts in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the secret report on the table.

The further away you can escape, the better.

Take me on a good tour and see where you can rely on in various places.

Help me remove them one by one.

There was a "click" sound.

The slightly smaller walnut couldn't withstand the force and cracked.

Ying Zheng slowly picked out the walnut meat, put it into his mouth bit by bit, and chewed it carefully.

Walnut meat tastes slightly astringent at first, leaving a bitter taste on the tip of the tongue.

Be patient and keep chewing, and you will smell a rich and mellow aroma of oil.

Ying Zheng slowly savored the sweetness of it, and the more he chewed it, the more delicious it became.

"Somebody come!"

The eunuch Pushe stepped forward slowly and said, "Your Majesty, the official is here."

"This thing is delicious. Send some to the Third Princess."

"Yes, I'll take it right away."

Late in the night, Su Jinyue didn't understand what was wrong with her great-grandfather all of a sudden.

What's so delicious about this?

Isn’t it enough to eat in the carriage every day?

I've been eating it for several months.

The eunuch smiled and said, "The humble official said that the Imperial Master is the most favored. Your Majesty always remembers to give the Imperial Master a portion whenever he has a snack."

"Haha, thank you, Father, for me."
