There is plenty of water in the south, and the crop is rice, which has been available since the time of Dayu.

It's the time to plant early rice, and all the farmers in Chu are devoted to the fields. Although they are busy in the morning and evening, there is plenty of rain. Everyone knows that the year is good, and although they are tired, their hearts are particularly bright.

"Although the north is in chaos, the fields are not as good as those in the south. It's really God's blessing on Chu. Next year we only need to wait for a big harvest of food, so we can tell the rebellious officials to kneel down and surrender." After planting rice, an old farmer straightened his back and said with a smile.

"There is no need to suffer disaster in the north. If the overlord wants to attack other countries, he can conquer them with the wave of his hand. No matter how powerful Tian Rong is, he is not the enemy of the overlord. The other princes, except Wu Rui who can hold on for a while, are all useless." The eldest son smiled.

echoed.

The wrinkles on the old farmer's face were piled up. "Although the Yue people are numerous, they are torn apart, so Wu Rui is not afraid. It was a good idea for the overlord not to occupy Xianyang that day. I am afraid that Qin will not be able to produce crops this year, and Chu is the best place."

Earth. Hahaha.”

The father and son lamented that they were in a blessed place, talked and laughed and continued to work.

After a while, when they were wiping away their sweat, the father and son looked up and suddenly saw dozens of Chu cavalry wearing armor and khaki clothes appearing on the horizon.

The two of them thought it was a patrol of soldiers and did not want to get into trouble, so they lowered their heads again to avoid public attention.

However, the Chu soldiers did not stay away. Seeing the two men like this, they stepped into the water and came straight towards the father and son.

"Raise your head!" the leading soldier shouted.

The father and son didn't know what they meant, so they had to force a smile and raise their heads.

The soldier looked at the two men left and right for a long time, then lowered his head to look at the portrait in his hand, frowned and shook his head.

"It's not that person."

The soldiers were a little discouraged. Since Xun Jin made a big fuss in the Chu Palace, seriously injuring Zhongli Mei and Lu Chen and escaping, Xiang Yu sent out troops to pursue Xun Jin's traces. He went all the way west and all the way north, carefully checking everything he passed.

Those with similar looks will be arrested; those with similar stature and whose appearance is damaged and unclear will be arrested; those with the surname Xun, even if they are not Xun Jin, will be tortured and interrogated.

"Old man, is there anyone suspicious or seriously injured here?" the soldier asked.

"Not yet." The old man shook his head, hoping that this group of menacing people would leave soon.

"Alas, it seems that he has fled elsewhere."

The soldiers were somewhat discouraged and were about to leave when they suddenly saw the old man's son looking flustered.

"Boy, why are you panicking?! Do you know where this person is?" the soldier shouted, not wanting to miss any opportunity.

"I know...no, I don't know..." The man was frightened by everyone.

"Knowing or not knowing?!"

Everyone drew their swords in anger and put them on the man's shoulders.

"Master, don't worry. Just this morning, I saw a monster passing by here. I don't know if it is human." The old man smiled with a smile on his face and pointed in the direction at will.

The generals sheathed their swords and nodded, and before leaving, they did not forget to reward two people and their feet, to vent their resentment for not telling them earlier.

"Ahem..."

Seeing that everyone was gone without a trace, the man dared to get up from the water, and then carefully helped his father up.

The old man couldn't stop coughing, and the man couldn't work anymore today. He had to go home to rest and start farming again tomorrow.

"Sigh... I almost forgot that the overlord also killed hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers. He is really not a benevolent king." The man sighed.

An old man and a young man were walking home along the field path. Not far away, they came across injured farmers in twos and threes. They were about to yell at them when the sound of horse hooves came from behind them.

"Stop!" The soldier, who seemed even angrier than the man just now, stopped the two of them, "Have you ever seen this man?"

"This..." The old man's son pointed to a direction at random, "The commander has already chased me, so you military masters don't need to go any further."

"This is the Overlord's army, and we are the soldiers of Commander Zhong. I swear to kill this man!" the leading soldier shouted.

"Yes, yes..." The two nodded timidly, looking forward to the visitor leaving again.

The sound of horse hooves was a few steps away and suddenly stopped. The two of them raised their heads carefully and saw the soldiers squinting at them.

"It's farming season, why don't you farm? If you leave now, are you afraid of tipping off this person?!" the leading man pressed.

"That's not true! It's just because the villain and his son were injured...that they couldn't farm." The old man's son did not dare to tell him the reason.

"Hmph! What's wrong with things in the fields? If you look suspicious, there must be a conspiracy! Torture them until they tell you!"

The father and son were helpless and could only watch as the crowd approached again.

During the torture, another group of soldiers and horses flashed past...

People from other countries made a big fuss in the royal palace and fled. Lu Chen and Zhongli Mei's soldiers could not bear this humiliation. They humiliated their ministers and died, not to mention the two were seriously injured. The soldiers from the three parties vowed not to give up until Xun Jin was captured, no matter what means they used.

Within a few days, from Pengcheng on the east side of Chu State, to the west and north, soldiers filled with murderous intent passed by every day. The farming season was already wrong, and there was still no harvest. The soldiers from the three parties were thinking about Xun Jin Xu Shi,

He wanted to flee south to the land of the two Zou clans. At this time, people in the entire Chu region were disturbed by chaos for unknown reasons.

Pengcheng, the residence of Zhongli Mei.

Xiang Yu, Sima Longju, Ji Bu...all those who had old acquaintances with Zhongli Mei stayed at the Zhong residence many times, waiting for Zhongli Mei to wake up.

Fan Zeng occupies the outside of the house, his face as frosty as ice.

"The Overlord is not interested in other things. I will wait until Commander Zhong is fine before discussing the matter with the Overlord." Yu Ziqi, a handsome man, advised.

"I can't wait any longer!" Fan Zeng bared his teeth and shouted. The humid weather suddenly caused a pain in his back. "In search of one person, the Chu land has been in chaos! The people still don't know what is going on. This move is extremely confusing, just as Ziying wished!

Order the withdrawal of troops quickly, otherwise Chu will be in danger!"

Fan Zeng tried his best to speak loudly, deliberately talking to Xiang Yu in the room. Earlier, Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu had quarreled over this matter, and they often broke up unhappy.

Yu Ziqi tried hard to persuade the two of them and tried to mediate between them. However, Ji Bu and others complained that he ignored his peers. Fan Zeng also complained that Yu Ziqi should not have persuaded him. In desperation, he even said some unpleasant words about the Yu family.

.

Yu Ziqi was unhappy both inside and outside.

"This is Ziying's trick! How could the overlord not know?!" Fan Zeng continued to shout.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Bu walked out of the house with a tired look on his face.

"When does the Overlord want to withdraw his order?" Fan Zeng asked face to face.

"The Overlord wants Yafu to keep his voice down and not to disturb Commander Zhong." Ji Bu whispered.

"Yu'er!" Fan Zeng was trembling with anger and speechless.

Yu Ziqi hurriedly helped the old counselor who was trying to stand unsteadily, but Fan Zeng reached out and threw him away.

Seeing that there was no result, Ji Bu had to go back and look after Zhongli Mei.

Several Chu soldiers came out dragging several corpses.

"This...where are these people being killed?!" Fan Zeng said angrily, "The killing soldiers will be dealt with according to military law!"

Several people put down the bodies and hurriedly knelt down and handed over their hands, "They are not common people, but the people who helped Xun Jin leave the city that day. They have the mark of plum blossoms on their bodies, and they seem to be the ministers of Mei Yuan from Yue."

"Mei Yuan helps Ziying?!"

Fan Zeng suddenly felt strange. According to what he heard, Mei Kai should unite with the Lu family at this moment, but with Lu Fei's hatred for Ziying, Mei Kai would never be able to do this.

"A trick, it must be a trick!" Fan Zeng thought for a long time, and suddenly it became clear in his mind, "Ziying had no intention of causing chaos in the Chu region. He just let Xun Jin make a big fuss in the palace and escape. After being rescued by the Yue people, he ordered the Yue people to be captured.

!Luring Yuer to attack Yue Fang is Ziying’s real trick!”

"What a scheme, what a poison!" Fan Zhencheng lowered his voice and pointed at the body on the ground, "Take it down and don't let the overlord see this! The land of Chu is in chaos and there can be no more trouble!"

"This..." The generals looked at each other. If Fan Zeng said this, this move was to deceive Xiang Yu...

"Get out! Otherwise I will kill you!" Fan Zeng shouted.

"Subordinates obey orders..."

"Stop!" Xiang Yu, with bloodshot eyes, pushed out the door and called to everyone, "How can Yafu hide such a big thing?"

Xiang Yu's tone was gloomy, and he squatted down beside Yue Ren's body and examined it carefully. When Fan Zeng saw this, he secretly screamed that something was wrong.

"Sure enough, he is from Yue! But you dare to be the enemy of this overlord!" Xiang Yu used his palms hard, crushing the bones of the corpse's face, "Choose a day to send troops to attack the Yue people!!"

"No!" Fan Zeng said anxiously, "Xun Jin entered Chu to lure Chu to attack Yue. How could it be as Ziying intended? The Yue people here should be Ziying's usual recruits to anger Yu'er. Ziying's conspiracy,

The conspiracy is just for this reason, how could Yu'er not know?!"

"Ha... Yafu is wrong." Xiang Yu laughed arrogantly, "The one Zi Ying took over should be Wu Rui's Yue, and the one he wanted to attack should be Mei Yi's Yue. Mei Yi likes plum blossoms, and Zi Ying should know that, so he used this

Lure Yu. How can Yu be deceived by him? Yu can't find Xun and Jin, and the road to Qin is far away, so he attacks Wu Rui to vent his anger!"

"Attack Wu Rui?!"

Fan Zeng covered his forehead with his hands and looked in a daze. Xiang Yu's prediction was certainly good, but he was smart enough to attack Wu Rui instead of attacking Mei Yuan.

Mei Rong was only a one-party force and had not taken possession of Jiujiang for a long time. Although sending troops to attack was laborious, it did not damage the foundation. Wu Rui was popular among the people. At this time, the southwest of Chu State was full of Yue people. Once the war broke out, Mei Rong would definitely help Wu Rui.

.Although the Zu family did not help Wu Rui, they would not let their fellow sect member Mei Yuan be executed. At that time, I am afraid that the Chu State would not be able to easily quell the war without killing all the Yue people. The entire south of Jiuzhou would be engulfed in flames of war.

dye...

"Yu'er's prediction is good, but don't attack in a hurry. Zhuang'er has controlled the whole country, and Zang Tu has returned to Dachu. Let's wait for the two of them to pacify Changshan and Han. It will take time for the three armies to come out together. Why worry about the injustice of the world?" Fan Zeng said from

I know I can't force him to persuade me, I can only comfort him.

"They are just Yue people, why do all three armies need to come out together? Doesn't it make the world think that this overlord is not as good as he used to be?!" Xiang Yu said with great pride, "One country of Chu is enough!"
