"It's actually him." Liu Bang looked at the man coming on horseback and said solemnly: "Isn't this guy in the same group with the guy named Jiang? Does he want to catch up with me and kill me?"
There were many fellow countrymen around him, but Liu Bang was not afraid.
After waiting calmly for more than ten breaths, Yi Xiaochuan caught up and said, "Why are you running? I just want to ask about the way out."
He is not a robber.
The folks around Liu Bang all focused on Liu Bang and wanted him to make a decision. After all, they were all poor people.
Seeing this, Liu Bang's eyes moved and he said: "It turns out to be Brother Yi. I wonder what you are here for?"
Yi Xiaochuan was easier to talk to than Jiang Que, and he had already noticed it when he was in the dog meat shop.
It's just not the right time to take action.
Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan calmed down and said in surprise: "Liu Bang, it's you?"
He had not noticed before that this group of people actually included Liu Bang, the unlucky guy who fell into the scheme of Jiang Chi and Lu Gong.
At the same time, he also knew that Liu Bang was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
A very remarkable person.
Liu Bang nodded and said: "I didn't expect to meet Brother Yi here. It seems that we are really destined."
A hint of cold light surged deep in his eyes.
In fact, I was thinking in my heart: "No matter what you surnamed Yi think, I, Liu Bang, have remembered you all, and one day I will seek revenge on you."
The cold eyes were raised, and the chill rolled around.
Yi Xiaochuan didn't notice it, but he smiled and said, "Where are you going?"
He looked at Liu Bang with a smile.
Seeing that Yi Xiaochuan was the only one, Liu Bang said happily: "Brother Yi, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Liu. All the folks here are from our village, and now they are all being sent to build the Great Wall..."
I'm afraid there will be no turning back once I go there.
As soon as he heard that they were going to build the Great Wall, Yi Xiaochuan immediately said angrily: "How can such extortionate taxes be imposed? Brother Liu, what about you?"
"I offended Mr. Lu and was sent to build the Great Wall by General Peng." Liu Bang looked bitter, "It's just that I don't know how many thieves I will encounter along the way. Brother Yi, I have an unmerciful request.
I hope you will definitely agree."
Yi Xiaochuan sympathized with these people, so he said generously: "Just tell the truth about what happened. If you need my help, I will definitely be willing to help."
Seeing the righteous and awe-inspiring look on Yi Xiaochuan's face, Liu Bang secretly smiled, "Boy, when I find the opportunity, I have to collect some interest from you first, hum!"
His face turned cold.
However, he still looked very pitiful when talking to Yi Xiaochuan, "Brother Yi, I want to ask you to protect us all the way to the north, otherwise we will be doomed if we encounter thieves along the way."
The Great Wall must be built, otherwise they will be executed. The one in Xianyang City is not someone to be trifled with.
Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan was stunned and said, "Brother Liu, but I'm going to Tang Wushan. I want to go home."
Liu Bang shook his head and said: "Brother Yi, do you want to put Brother Liu, me and the villagers to death?
After I offended someone, I was randomly slapped with a crime and sent to build the Great Wall. That was fine. It was just our bad luck. But if we had died on the road, it would have been in vain.
Brother Yi, if you want to go home, Liu Bang won't stop you, but you can wait for a few days, but we can't wait."
Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan was shocked and said: "Brother Liu, don't you still have official duties along the way? There are no thieves who dare to worry about it."
Besides, Liu Bang and his party were too poor. No blind bandit would fall in love with them, let alone offend the imperial court.
But in order to lure Yi Xiaochuan onto the pirate ship, Liu Bang quietly glanced at the officers not far away and said, "Brother Yi, this matter is hard to explain. We don't know what dangers we will encounter along the way, and we don't dare to gamble.
When we encounter real danger, those officials will not care whether we live or die. If only they can save their own lives, who will come to protect us?
For those people, people will die anyway if they go to build the Great Wall, so maybe it will be easier for them if they die on the way."
There is some truth to this.
Yi Xiaochuan frowned and said, "Brother Liu, although you are right, I really want to go home."
Hearing this, Liu Bang hurriedly said: "Brother Yi, you will only be delayed for a month or two, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?
Besides, I, Liu Bang, am begging you not for my own selfish gain, but for the safety of the whole village.
Yes, I admit that if I go to build the Great Wall, I may not come back, so if I go there, I will die, and if I am met by thieves on the road, I will die.
But Brother Yi, ants are just trying to survive, let alone humans?"
It would be good to live a little longer.
I have to say that Liu Bang's words moved Yi Xiaochuan very much. Looking at the pitiful, expectant and innocent faces not far away, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a long ideological struggle in his heart, he said: "In that case, then I will help you, Brother Liu."
At first glance, Liu Bang and his group were really pitiful, and he felt compassion for them.
In this era, you have to leave something behind.
He was born and raised under the red flag, so he couldn't just watch these people die on the road. "Since we can't change their fate of building the Great Wall, it's good to let them live longer."
After all, who doesn’t want to live longer?
Another reason is because Liu Bang was the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Even if he returns to his own 21st century in the future, he will still have something to brag about.
Thinking about what it was like to go to the Qin Dynasty back then, I feel a little excited when I think about it.
What's more, the journey to Tangwu Mountain is overlapping, so it's just a tourist trip to relax.
Hearing that Yi Xiaochuan agreed, Liu Bang couldn't help but feel happy, "Brother Yi, this... I really don't know how to thank you."
As long as Yi Xiaochuan stays, he will have a way to escape.
Maybe by the time Yi Xiaochuan reacted, he would have left long ago, "Anyway, building the Great Wall is a recipe for death. It just so happens that you are a Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist. Brother Yi, don't blame me."
He is selfish and has never denied that.
At this time, I was still immersed in the joy of being invited by Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. If I were to say this, it would be such a great honor, and I would be able to brag about it in the future.
Regarding Yi Xiaochuan's stay, the officials were just slightly surprised for a while, and then glanced at Liu Bang without any trace, thinking: "This guy is really good at causing trouble. It seems that another unlucky guy is going to fall into Liu Bang's plan."
.”
But they didn't expose it. Anyway, they just needed to send people to the north to build the Great Wall. That was their mission.
"Brother Liu, are all these people from your village?" Yi Xiaochuan asked, looking at the sallow and thin people.
Liu Bang nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, they were all implicated by me, so they were sent to the north to build the Great Wall. Alas..."
Speaking of these fellow villagers, he actually wanted to do something for them.
"So it turns out that it's the Taoist priest's fault." Yi Xiaochuan complained, and said in his heart: "If it hadn't been for Jiang Chi and Lu Gong's design, Liu Bang wouldn't have built the Great Wall, and those poor fellow villagers wouldn't have left their hometowns."
It's a pity that he knew it too late, and now he can only complain and murmur.
But Liu Bang waved his hand and said calmly: "Brother Yi, it's okay. If you want to blame me, just blame me, Liu Bang, for his miserable life. In the end, it hurt everyone.
