The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

Hearing the sound, Xuan Ye turned around.

But it was a person dressed in the robes of an imperial official who stood there.

Upon seeing Xuan Ye, he was surprised for a moment, but then smiled.

"Why is the Imperial Physician standing here?"

Lowering his eyes, Xuan Ye said to the man, "Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office, ha, you've only traveled this far."

As she spoke, she looked at Youzhan, who was standing next to her.

"But it was here that I met this person."

"This person?"

Zhao Gao was taken aback. Who else came from in the palace?

Aside from palace maids and eunuchs, no one should be allowed to loiter around the royal palace.

Thinking about it, he looked at the person next to Xuan Ye. The person looked somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he recognized him.

Looking at Youzhan, he said, "You are Youzhan, the entertainer His Majesty once favored?"

"right."

Youzhan sighed and said seriously.

He raised his hand and pointed in a direction, towards the side hall in the distance. "His Majesty has granted me permission to reside there."

Looking at the side hall, Zhao Gao seemed to remember something; it seemed that such a thing really did happen.

When the first emperor favored the entertainer Youzhan,

Therefore, he was often invited to banquets to entertain the guests and make the atmosphere less formal.

Therefore, an order was issued to appoint him as a court entertainer, allowing him to live in seclusion in the palace and attend banquets at any time.

But after the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms.

With numerous affairs of state, banquets were rarely held, so Youzhan was neglected, but she continued to live in the palace.

At this moment, You Zhan looked up at Xuan Ye, raised her hand, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Physician."

"I was unaware of your identity, and I apologize for my rudeness."

"Heh." Xuan Ye chuckled and waved his hand. "What crime is this? Don't be like this, get up."

"Yes."

Yuzhan crossed her arms in front of her and straightened up.

Looking down at him, Xuan Ye couldn't help but smile for some reason.

"Now that the rain has stopped, I, Youzhan, will take my leave."

Xuan Ye nodded, and then You Zhan stepped out from under the eaves and ran towards the side hall where he lived.

Beneath the towering palace walls, the short dwarf stumbled and ran, looking inexplicably comical.

................

at the same time.

Zhang Liang and Liu Ji traveled together for several days and arrived in Kuaiji in mid-February.

Upon re-entering Kuaiji, Zhang Liang was filled with mixed emotions.

After his failed assassination attempt on the First Emperor, in order to escape the nationwide manhunt, he fled to Xiapi, and then wandered from place to place.

That's when his path crossed with Xiang Liang's.

Unfortunately, although the Xiang family had close ties in this area, they dared not stay long under the strict rule of the tyrannical Qin dynasty.

Therefore, he could only communicate with Xiang Liang through letters.

Now that Xiang Liang has recovered Kuaiji, more than ten years have passed, and the orphans of the former Chu people are overjoyed.

They still remember the old grudges.

He then vented his hatred on the Qin officials, killing them and chopping their bodies into minced meat.

Along the way, there were unrecognizable corpses everywhere.

"Can everything that has been lost be regained?" Zhang Liang was somewhat lost in thought, but he still made up his mind and walked forward.

Standing in front of the prefectural governor's mansion, which had been occupied by the Chu army.

Zhang Liang looked at Liu Ji beside him and said, "Liu Ji, are you sure you really want to pledge allegiance to Xiang Liang?"

Liu Ji nodded and said with a smile, "Of course."

"Alright then." Zhang Liang squinted, stepped forward to identify himself, and was then allowed to pass.

Thus, he and Liu Ji went outside the hall.

Zhang Liang and Xiang Liang had a long-standing friendship, and after the announcement was made, Xiang Liang led his men out to greet them.

"Zifang, it's been a long time."

Zhang Liang laughed, raised his hand and said, "It's been quite a while since we last parted."

The two reminisced and chatted for a while.

Then Xiang Liang pointed to Xiang Yu standing behind him.

"Come, come, Zifang, let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Xiang Ji, courtesy name Yu."

Looking at Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang praised him generously.

"He is truly a match for ten thousand men, and will be the courage of the three armies. With such a wise and brave general, it is no wonder that the Xiang family army was able to succeed."

Xiang Yu smiled and stood there without saying a word.

Then Xiang Liang pointed at Zhang Liang and said,

"Yu'er, this is Zhang Liang, the righteous man who once attempted to assassinate the First Emperor at Bolangsha."

Only then did Xiang Yu look at him and nod.

Although he was arrogant, he still felt a sense of goodwill towards this brave assassin who had tried to assassinate the Qin emperor, and he had a very good impression of him.

Liu Ji watched them exchanging compliments.

He wanted to interject, but didn't know what to say. In the end, Xiang Liang pointed at Liu Ji and looked at Zhang Liang to ask.

"Zifang, who is this man? Is he one of your men?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said.

"This man is a righteous man who opposes the Qin Dynasty. He is known as the Duke of Pei. He heard of the great name of Xiang Yu's army, so he came with me, intending to join them."

Upon hearing Zhang Liang's introduction, Liu Ji stepped forward and, with a smile, began to explain his situation.

Finally, he revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Borrowing troops?" Xiang Liang nodded knowingly.

But he didn't say much, he just turned to the people behind him and said, "Give them five thousand soldiers and ten officers."

Seeing that he had borrowed troops so easily, Liu Ji was overjoyed and pledged his loyalty to Xiang Liang.

This beam is indeed much more generous than Jingju's.

His request to borrow troops from Jingju took a long time.

The troops they finally lent him were only for attacking the county town; once the soldiers were recruited, they had to be returned to him as soon as possible.

But this Liang lent him five thousand soldiers without saying a word. He was truly wealthy and powerful. He made the right choice this time.

Following Xiang Liang is far more promising than following Jing Ju.

Afterwards, Xiang Liang led Zhang Liang into the hall, while Liu Ji went to lead the troops.

.................

Soon, the winter snow gradually melted.

Xuan Ye and Fu Su stood on the city wall, watching Han Xin lead a massive army out of Xianyang.

Fusu let out a breath, turned his eyes, and looked at his side. Xuan Ye was standing to the side.

He saw that Fusu was looking at him.

He smiled and asked, "Your Highness, is there something you need?"

Looking down at the receding army, Fusu's voice sounded weak for some reason.

"Who knows how many more people will die in this world."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Xuan Ye placed his hand on the city wall, not looking at Fu Su, and calmly said.

"This war must be fought, no matter what!"

"Moreover," he turned to look at Fusu, "this war was not started by us."

"Since they want to fight, they want to rebel!"

"Alright, then let's fight, as they wish. Let's silence all voices opposing the Qin Dynasty!"

Fusu looked sad and then lowered his eyes.

After a long while, he finally raised his head. The army had already left, and he was just looking in that direction.

Xuan Ye was also staring in that direction.

After a long while, he turned his head, his gaze seemingly looking at Fusu, or perhaps looking through him at someone else.

It also resembles that tall figure.

At this moment, she was already standing beside him.

"I miss the First Emperor..."
