Chapter 36: Fellow folks meet fellow folks, my name is Xu Dazhuang
As far as history is concerned, she is just an ordinary little woman. The reason why she can keep her name is just because of her beauty and because of her appearance in Farewell My Concubine.
This is her strength and also her sorrow.
Beautiful women are often more willing to spend most of their energy on romance and dressing up. They like romance and romance, but they don't like fighting for power and gain.
This type of person will be much less motivated and will actually be of little help to their husband's career. This is probably one of the reasons why Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang in history.
Just like now, Xiang Yu went out to fight, and Yu Ji was helpless. She didn't know what she should do, and she didn't want to do anything. She was lonely, empty and cold all day long, and she was also restless.
His parents died in the war, and his brother Yu Ziqi also died. Now Bawang is going to fight. Will he be in danger? I hope God will bless Bawang and return safely.
She had wanted to persuade the Overlord to give up the world more than once, and to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with her, living an ordinary life of a husband and a wife, but when she thought of the Overlord's temper, she could not express her words.
With exquisite beauty, great love and righteousness, softness and weakness, and excellent in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, he has been with Xiang Yu day and night, and has lived and died together along the way. He is the only person in the world who combines these characteristics in one person.
This is the only person who just satisfies Xiang Yu's desire for a perfect lover.
Heroes and beauties, talented men and beautiful women, stories that will last through the ages.
Therefore, Xiang Yu is the king, and she is the only woman. He loves her deeply and can love her regardless of anything.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a general guarding the city outside. He said that a fellow countryman of yours is looking for you. He is shouting at the gate of the city and wants to ask for permission to see you or not."
Personal maid Xing'er hurried in.
When Yu Ji heard this, she stopped playing the piano and walked out quickly: "Oh, what is his name and where is he now?"
"My name is Xu Dazhuang, and he is making a noise with the soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city."
"Xu Dazhuang?" Yu Ji thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was indeed such a person, and then smiled like a flower: "He is the eldest brother from the same village. I haven't seen him for many years. Come on, bring him in and let me have a look."
Huo Sancai, dressed as a commoner, was arguing with the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate.
"I have already told you that I am the princess's cousin from the same village. I came here specifically to join her. Please be accommodating."
"Didn't I tell you? If I can't be accommodating, leave quickly."
"You are so unreasonable. Let me tell you, I am the princess's only relative. I will rise to great heights in the future. I may soon be your immediate boss. I won't take care of you then."
"That can't be accommodated. The Overlord has issued a strict order. Anyone who opens the city gate without authorization before he returns in triumph will be beheaded."
"Humph, if you don't open the door, then we'll just wait here."
After saying that, Huo Sancai simply sat down on the ground, pulled out a piece of grass, put it in his mouth and chewed it carelessly.
After a while, the general guarding the city came on horseback with a maid.
"Who is Huo Sancai? The princess wants to see you, so follow me into the city."
"Hey, what's going on here? You finally want to see me."
"It's you, come with me and go see the princess."
"I'll see you as soon as you say. I won't go now unless you ask Yu Ji to invite me to the city in person."
"Be brave, you don't want to live anymore."
"Don't threaten me. If you let me enter the city just now, it will be fine. Now, I want her to come and invite me."
Huo Sancai approached the maid and took out something: "You are Yu Ji's personal maid, right? Give her this thing and tell her that I have a secret about her family that has been passed down from generation to generation. I will be in the north of the city tonight at midnight."
We are waiting for her in the Wuliting Pavilion, please come over."
After saying that, Huo Sancai walked towards Wuliting in a swagger, while the general guarding the city showed a puzzled expression.
After Huo Sancai walked far away, he found that there were no pursuers behind him, so he immediately turned to meet Bai Zhan.
"General, everything has been done as you ordered. Now it depends on whether Yu Ji will come."
"Go ahead and wait at Wuliting. Let's bet on how stupid this woman Yu Ji is. No matter whether the bet is right or not, you will be a great success."
"Thank you General!"
Zan Bu panicked and came over: "General, shall we go to Wuliting to ambush now?"
"No, don't set up an ambush at Wuliting. Chen Ping is still in charge in Pengcheng City. He is not a fool. He will definitely send people to search the area around Wuliting in advance."
"What about us?"
"Intercept, wait for them to go back and grab people, and then evacuate quickly."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Yu Ji took the things Xing'er handed her and couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot.
It was not something valuable, just a palm-sized longevity tablet, but it was something that her grandfather had carved for her with his own hands, and it was the only one in the world.
There was a war, the family was destroyed, and relatives were no longer around. This longevity tablet was originally thought to have been burned by the fire.
"Dazhuang said he still had secrets to tell me." Yu Ji ran out of the house happily: "Myolie, prepare the car, let's go meet this fellow countryman, I have a lot to say to him."
As Bai Zhan expected, when Chen Ping knew that Yu Ji was going to Wuliting, he became very vigilant.
In such a sensitive time, it would be too coincidental for a fellow countryman to suddenly come out.
"My dear, this is just a fellow countryman. It's not worth your while to find him yourself. I'll just send someone to capture him."
"How can that be done? Da Zhuang has already told me to go there in person. I haven't seen you in my hometown for many years, so just let me go."
Yu Ji insisted on going, but Chen Ping, thinking of this woman's position in Overlord's heart, had no choice but to agree.
After all, although Yu Ji is not a woman who likes to blow pillows, she is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
If a person who never blows wind blows the wind next to his pillow, it will be even more fatal.
"Okay, okay, it's three o'clock tonight, right? I'll send someone to secretly investigate the area first, and make sure there's no danger before you go. When you go, let Zhong Lihuan and his personal guards escort you." Xiang Zhuang said.
"Uncle is a little too cautious."
"In special times, it is always right to be cautious."
"Well, it's all up to uncle's arrangement."
Dark night covers the earth, but the full moon hangs high. At this time, Wuliting still shines brightly.
Huo Sancai sat bored in the pavilion, thinking about what to say when he saw Yu Ji later.
"Damn it, even if it's really Xu Dazhuang, we might not be able to get along well with him, let alone a fake like myself, what should I say when we meet?
"Princess, I am your eldest brother."
"No, no, it's too intimate, it's not good."
"Yu'er, I miss you so much."
"Well, that's not good either... Oh, damn, it's so troublesome to tie up a ticket."
Before long, there were many torches moving in front, and several groups of soldiers came towards this side surrounded by a luxurious and gorgeous carriage.
