Chapter 63 Lu Jia's Choice

"The two of them are indeed colluding with Xiang Yu!" Lu Fei said angrily.

Zhang Liang, who was outside the tent, had not gone far when he heard the guard's words and hurriedly ran in the direction of Zhou Bo and Cao Shen.

"Ahem, cough, cough, you two commanders will spare their lives." Zhang Liang coughed while covering his chest. Zhang Liang's health was not good, which was one of the reasons why Liu Bang was not wary of him after he became emperor.

Cao Shen had already raised his sword in the air, but he quickly stopped when he saw Zhang Liang approaching.

Cao Shen lowered his head and said, "Mr. Zifang, killing Lu Jia is the intention of Pei Gong and his wife. Please don't embarrass me."

Cao Shen was originally the jailer of Peixian County, and had always been on good terms with Xiao He, the chief official, and Liu Bang, the chief of the pavilion. Later, Liu Bang rebelled and killed Li Si's eldest son Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County, in Yongqiu, and became famous as a rebel.

Lu Jia smiled bitterly, "The person Lu has the least regret in his life is Mr. Zifang."

"Mr. Lu and Mr. Li cannot be killed, Xiang Yu wants to see them." Ziying said after breathing well.

Lu Jia and the others were shocked.

Zhou Bo clenched his fists tightly, "It seems that Madam's prediction is good. The collusion with Xiang Yu is true!"

"The two gentlemen persuaded the generals who were guarding the border all the way to surrender. Mr. Fan Zeng must have known about it. This is the reason for the meeting. The two commanders should not speculate at will." Zhang Liang analyzed.

Zhou Bo and Cao Shen exchanged looks.

"Now Pei Gong still doesn't believe these two people. If they surrender to the enemy, it will be detrimental to our army, so why not just kill them." Zhou Bo suggested.

"What? Commander Zhou Bo also wants to imitate Commander Xiahou and return to his old profession?" Lu Jia said with a sad smile.

"Lu Jia, you are looking for death!" Zhou Bo pulled off Lu Jia's Confucian scholar's hat and stepped on it severely.

Zhou Bo grew up poor and raised silkworms and reeled silk as a profession. To make a living, he also worked as a drummer at funerals.

Lu Jia was provocative at this moment, and maybe he and Li Shiqi were making fun of him behind his back.

"Although Xiang Yu's army only comes with 300,000 troops, it is not something Pei Gong can resist. If Commander Zhou Bo kills Mr. Lu, he will put Pei Gong to death." Zhang Liang said anxiously.

"Let it go." Cao Shen said helplessly.

Zhou Bo angrily let go, and Lu Jia stopped where he was, not moving at all.

"It is inevitable for a gentleman to win the crown after death. I hope Commander Zhou Bo will help me pick up the crown." Lu Jia said calmly.

"Lu Jia, you..."

"Please ask Commander Zhou Bo to help me pick up the crown!" Lu Jia said again, with a hint of determination in his elegant eyes, "otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will say in front of Xiang Yu."

"Lu Jia, how dare you threaten me!" Zhou Bo said angrily.

"Confucian scholars never threaten people, it all depends on what Commander Zhou chooses to do." Lu Jia smiled broadly. He had no longer decided to stay in Liu Ying and was not afraid of offending Zhou Bo.

"Lu Jia, you have the guts! Let's see!"

Zhou Bo picked up the hat, patted the dust on it, and put it on Lu Jia's head.

Zhou Bo, Cao Shen and others walked away, Zhang Liang slowly said, "Mr. Lu, should you go to Qin or Qi next?"

Lu Jia was shocked, "Mr. Zifang, don't you think that I will defect to Xiang Yu or return to my hometown in Chudi?"

"Xiang Yu was brutal, slaughtering cities and surrendering, Xiangcheng, Chengyang, and Xin'an. Mr. Lu would not defect to him. Confucianism is supposed to bring peace to the world. Mr. Lu would not choose to return to his hometown."

"Qin is cruel and Qi is in turmoil. Why does Mr. Zifang think he will go to these two countries?" Lu Jia asked.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly, "The surname Lu comes from the fact that Tian Tong, the youngest son of King Xuan of Qi, was granted the title of Lu Township. Although Mr. Lu is from Chu, he is originally from the Qi royal family. As for Qin, Mr. Lu's eyes changed when he returned from Lantian Pass.

I already have other thoughts about Qin in my heart."

Lu Jia secretly marveled at Zhang Liang's insight and observation.

"When the State of Qi was newly established, General Tian Rong was dissatisfied with Tian Jia being made king, causing Tian Jia to flee to the State of Zhao. At the time of Julu, the State of Zhao was surrounded, but Tian Rong did not send troops to rescue him. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, like this

The State of Qi will surely provoke new disputes," Lu Jia said.

"That gentleman has gone to join the Qin State." Zhang Liang asked.

"It's not to go to Qin, it's to go to Ziying." There was a trace of longing in Lu Jia's eyes, "Yesterday Ziying was willing to give up Hetian Jade, and his conversation was extraordinary, and today he can dismiss the harem. This kind of king is what Lu wants to assist.

.”

Lu Jia paused, "Pei Gong was hurt by Mo Chu's sword. He is no longer a good master. The whole camp is dominated by the wife. The wife is surly by nature. I hope Mr. Zifang will make plans in advance."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for reminding me, sir, go to bed early. Something big will happen tonight." Zhang Liang said with a cupped hand.

Lu Jia looked back at Liu Bang's camp and left with a long sigh.

Zhang Liang stood on the spot for a long time and murmured, "Qi is in turmoil, so what about Pi..."

In Liu Bang's camp, Liu Bang and Lu Zhi's faces were ashen, and there were two objects placed on the tables. Ziying had just sent Lu Matong to deliver them.

"Ziying knows too much, don't you? You only know one of these two things, right?" Lu Fei frowned.

Liu Bang had a gloomy face, pointed at the yellow stone, and said vaguely, "Zifang's "Yellow Stone Heavenly Book"."

"Then what does this comb mean?" Lu Pheasant didn't understand, but he could guess that it was also about Zhang Liang. Ziying knew that they couldn't guess it at all.

"Brother, do you know what it means?" Liu Bang asked.

After the camp, a man about fifty years old with an eagle-nosed and leopard-like appearance came out.

It was Liu Bang's close friend Lu Wan.

The Liu family and the Lu family had been family friends since they were in Pei County. The closest subordinate to Liu Bang in the camp was Lu Wan. They were born on the same day in the same year and month. Compared with Lu Wan, Fan Kuai was considered an outsider.

Lu Wan looked at it carefully and sneered, "Zi Ying's plan of alienation is a bit childish, thinking that this will make Pei Gong doubt Mr. Zifang."

"What does this wooden comb mean?" Lu Zhi felt uneasy.

"Mr. Zifang failed to assassinate Qin in Bolangsha and fled to Xiapi for refuge. There he met the daughter of a former Hancheng noble named 'Shuzi', who has become Mr. Zifang's wife." Lu Wan explained.

"How come the ovary has never mentioned it to me..." Liu Bang covered his forehead and thought deeply.

"This Ziying seems to know Zhang Liang very well. What's going on? Could it be that he also..." Lu Fei frowned.

"Stop guessing! Isn't it enough to have two traitors?"

Liu Bang said this, and his suspicion of Zhang Liang was already planted.

The tent curtain was opened, and the guard outside the camp walked in again, holding a small manger in his hand.
