Chapter 694
"This Xianyang City is really prosperous!"
A few days later, a group of people finally entered the gates of Xianyang City after a special round of questioning.
On one side was a red gate made entirely of steel plates riveted together from the shell of a Land Rover, and on the other side was a golden gate made entirely of steel from other parts of the Land Rover fused together and coated with copper powder.
"Is your master in the house?" Knocking on the door, a female guard clad in simple armour didn't wait to ask who the other party was, but instead the other party naturally asked where Li Linfei was.
"My master is not in the mansion at this time, I wonder if you are?"
The visitor frowned slightly, then asked, "And is your wife Lu Pang in?"
"Her Ladyship is in the palace!"
"Go quickly and inform your wife that your master's brother and master have come from Huiji!"
After being informed by the servant, Lu Phenchen was slightly stunned and then came out with a happy and excited face.
"Master and brother, when did you arrive in Xianyang? I haven't seen you for over a year, I've missed you so much!"
The visitors were Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, and Lu Pheasant had been with Li Lin Fei for the past year or so when he was learning his trade, so he was very familiar with Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, and was no different from his own family.
"We just arrived in Xianyang, and a few months ago we received a letter from Fei saying that we had found Xiaochuan, just as the two divine weapons had finally been built, and I had also caught a good mount."
"So fortunately I simply took and and mount on the road and after months of walking finally delivered it to Xiao Fei! Why don't you guys quickly send the stuff in?"
Hearing Xiang Yu say this, Lu Phenchen then realised that apart from Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew, there were several other people at the door, and even more so a carriage and a huge behemoth.
It is a good thing that this huge thing is a rare thing in two thousand years, but it is not rare in this era, and can be found almost everywhere in the south.
And Lu Pian was a southerner, and was no stranger to this creature, which at this time was called a bull, also known as the one-horned green bull, or by some as the great-horned rhinoceros, and two thousand years later in modern times as the Indian rhinoceros.
"Master and big brother, come in!" Lu Phenchen froze for a moment, then reacted to the fact that they were still standing at the door at that moment and hurriedly invited the two of them into the mansion, who had thought that Xiang Yu shook his head, "No, I haven't seen Lin Fei and Xiao Chuan for a long time, I am going to look for them first, do you know where they both are now?"
The other day, Duke Fusu put up a list to recruit distinguished scholars from all over the world, and many talented people from all over the world gathered in Xianyang, if there is no mistake, he, Xiaochuan and another friend, Mr. Cui, should be in the temporary post that Duke Fusu used to entertain all the distinguished scholars. "
The two of them looked at each other and then said goodbye to Lu Pheasant and sent the men they had brought with them to Xiang Zhuang, asking him to find a place in Li Linfei's properties and stay in Xianyang, while they inquired their way to the post.
Once they arrived at the post, they were met by many old friends of the Six Kingdoms, but they were in the middle of exchanging pleasantries when they were suddenly spoiled by a very annoying voice.
"Get out of my way, you two! Get out of the way! Don't block my view!"
Hearing Cui Wenzi's drunkenly slurred shout, all the people instantly stopped their conversations and pleasantries and looked over in unison.
He was pushed out of the way by Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang.
"What are you talking about, you drunken old man? Do you still want to live?" Cui Wenzi, who was pulled up by Xiang Yu's collar, giggled.
"Hehehe ...... I'm drunk, so I'm talking nonsense! You're not drunk, why are you being ordinary with a drunkard like me?"
As he said that, Cui Wenzi even made a death wish and spat out a mouthful of wine breath at Xiang Yu, the smell, it was just like holy shit ah, disgusting Xiang Yu almost did not reach out and squeeze him to death.
"Old Cui~! Drink~!" At this time, Yi Xiaochuan, who had drunk more and most thoroughly at the side, spoke up, and that familiar voice instantly attracted Xiang Yu's attention.
"Xiaochuan?" Was this Yi Xiaochuan? That's right, it was him, his face, his figure, his voice were all wrong! But how did the dashing, witty and optimistic Yi Xiaochuan turn into a drunkard who was a loose cannon?
Hearing Xiang Yu's cry of alarm, Xiang Liang, who had intended to turn around and leave, stopped dead in his tracks and then turned around like a flash to look down at his founding disciple.
"Xiao Chuan? Why are you in this state?" Looking further to the side, he indeed saw his second disciple Li Linfei, who was also red in the face from drinking, but was still relatively sober.
Seeing that it was Xiang Liang who had arrived, Li Linfei hurriedly stood up and saluted, and was just about to speak, only to be interrupted by Yi Xiaochuan, who was as drunk as hell.
"That's what I was supposed to be like." Listening to Yi Xiaochuan's delirious drunken words, Xiang Liang immediately just angrily knocked away Yi Xiaochuan's wine glass.
"You ...... master, master!?"
Being knocked off his wine cup, Yi Xiaochuan immediately stood up to settle the score with the other party, but his hand had just reached Xiang Liang's collar when he realized that the other party was his own master, and was also glaring at himself angrily at the moment, with an appearance of being so angry that his hair was on end, which made Yi Xiaochuan's alcoholic mind instantly sober up a bit: "Disciple, disciple pay respect, pay respect to the master."
Seeing Yi Xiaochuan drinking to the extent that he stumbled over his words, Xiang Liang was even more furious: "Look at you, look at you now! A young and talented disciple, how long has it been? How have you degenerated into such a state? If I had known this, I should not have let you leave the sect!"
"And you!" With those words, Xiang Liang angrily opened his leopard eyes and waited towards Li Linfei on the side.
"You're no better than him, what do you look like when you're drunk? I thought you were a little more sensible than him, but instead of watching out for him, you're drinking and degenerating with him! What a disgrace! You two come with me!"
Chapter 695
Li Linfei shrugged innocently, turned around and put his shield on his back, carrying his huge sword in one hand, and supporting Yi Xiaochuan, who was too drunk to stand up, with Xiang Yu in the other, left and right, and walked out after the furious Xiang Liang.
"Why don't you take care of him too?" Following behind Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu whispered and complained about Li Linfei.
"How can I control him? This bastard is still my senior brother! Besides, he's been through something special this time, and if he didn't get drunk with wine and muddle through, he wouldn't have known if he would have lasted until now, and either died of depression or cut himself off under the pain, so at least he's still alive."
"The more you drink, the better it is for your health. There is also a set of drunken fists and a drunken sword passed on to Xiaochuan.
Xiang Yu didn't believe it at all and brushed his mouth off, "You're just talking nonsense!"
Li Linfei laughed, "Don't believe me, this sword technique is similar to the one that Master passed down to us, it uses trickery to break the force, and it is also a way to take the sword by surprise, and no move is better than a move.
"There is also a set of Drunken Steps and Drunken Fists, all three in one, specifically to restrain people like you who are tall and strong, brave and strong!"
"Oh? In that case, I really need to see it sometime!" Hearing Li Linfei say this, not only Xiang Yu, but also Xiang Liang had some interest, and his anger towards his two disciples' alcoholism and depravity had lessened by a few points.
As they spoke they had arrived at the Hall of Lifting Sages, followed not far behind by the two San Bao who had helped Cui Wenzi all the way to the hall.
"I am Xiang Liang of Wu Zhong County, Hui Ji County, this is my nephew, and this is my disciple Yi Xiao Chuan."
There was a table and desk in the middle of the entrance to the Hall of Raising Virtues, and behind it sat a clerk taking notes on something with a pen. Xiang Liang naturally understood what he was doing, so he announced himself directly.
Only at this moment Li Linfei was not with him, because when he was just going up the steps because someone had pushed and shoved him, and because he had drunk too much, San Bao did not hold him steady.
When he saw this, Li Linfei rushed over to help San Bao help Cui Wenzi, so he was separated from Xiang Liang and the three of them by three or four other people.
"What is your origin?"
"I am a descendant of the Xiang family of Chu!"
The official raised his eyebrows and straightened his face, revealing a warm smile.
"So you are a descendant of a noble family, please take a seat on your left!"
Xiang Yu frowned slightly, "Why are you seated on the left and right, and why is the right side so full but the left side so loose?"
The clerk smiled and explained patiently, "You don't know, there are also three, six and nine classes among the noblemen who have applied for the conscription, the noblemen of the six kingdoms and the famous families have always been left as the noble, left as the top and right as the bottom!"
Only then did Xiang Yu nod and helped Yi Xiaochuan to follow behind Xiang Liang to the upper seat on the left and take his seat.
"Li Yun, Li Lin Fei, a native of Chu!"
"And what is your origin?"
The corners of Li Linfei's mouth quirked, "A commoner!"
"Go to the right!"
Li Linfei didn't lift his foot: "Are you sure you want me to go to the right?"
"Of course, the nobles and famous families of the six kingdoms are seated on the left side, while the common people gather on the right side, you are a commoner, so you should go to the right side!"
Li Linfei looked at this dog-eyed lackey in front of him, "Is that so? I may be a commoner, but the current Concubine Li calls me an elder brother, so I can be considered a state uncle."
"Upper General Meng Tian is my closest friend, and as long as I am willing, the deputy general of the Meng family army is vacant."
"The other day just unveiled the imperial list cured Princess Li's plague, will be called to be rewarded in the next day, at least the county guard position, in addition to these, I am the disciple of the disciple of the Xiang family, the god of the Chu army, is the descendant of the noble family of the six countries. You ...... still want me to go to the right?" One after another, Li Linfei named his random identities that were enough to make people's scalps tingle, causing the dog-eyed clerk to stare in disbelief, his hand kept starting to shiver, and finally even dropped his pen to the ground.
"You ...... you are?"
Li Linfei disdainfully hooked the corner of his mouth, did not say anything, but backhandedly took off his huge shield and stood it in front of him, knocked on the shield surface with his huge sword, the thick and dull loud sound immediately made the other party, and all the people living in Xianyang city, understand Li Linfei's identity.
You are Li Gong of the Li Mansion at the city gate?"
This is also a means of Li Linfei, people have the ability is not enough, but also has to be famous, the nature of the latter days those who have no acting skills and no singing ability but is very hot topic stars, flow fresh meat small flower, and the great famous crouching dragon phoenix dais to get one can secure the world a reason, first blow out the fame!
After all, even the wine is not afraid of the alley ah! No, it worked now. Li Linfei just tapped his shield and everyone who had lived in Xianyang in the last year immediately knew who he was and was in awe.
The clerk even bowed his waist and sent Guo Dong to the VIP seat on the left with a balmy face, sitting down next to Xiang Liang and the three of them at a separate table, not to mention sweeping the cushions with his sleeve very attentively.
"Your Excellency, please take your seat!"
After all, the Six Kingdoms were all fucking destroyed, so if you are respected, you are a Six Kingdoms noble, or if you are not, you are a fucking ragtag, or even a remnant of the Six Kingdoms or even a traitor.
But Li Linfei is half of Qin's state uncle, or the most favored consort, and the top military general Meng Tian's close friend, and has just made the biggest merit of Qin, no matter which is he, even his master Fusu dare not ignore.
This is the truth that a county official is better than a current administrator, not to mention that Li Linfei barely has both.
As Li Linfei took his seat and was introduced by Xiang Liang to the nobles of the six kingdoms, there was a scene across the street.
The commotion ended up waking up Yi Xiaochuan, who was drunk and half-asleep, and when he woke up, he brought the culprit over!
Chapter 696
"Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan! Xiandi, you've missed me to death!" Looking at this guy who was shouting with a face of surprise and surprise at the same time, he came trotting over.
Li Linfei, who was exchanging pleasantries with a nobleman from Chu, gave a start and narrowed his eyes slightly. Looking at the other party's appearance, and then at this sickeningly fake display, how could Li Linfei not know that this was the arrival of the future great and famous Han Gaozu Liu Bang?
"Didn't you go to build the Great Wall? How did you get back to Xianyang alive? You're not dead. ...... Ah, this is great!" Confused and surprised, Liu Bang almost let his mouth slip, but fortunately he reacted quickly and had a thick skin, and rounded off the breach without blushing or gasping.
"I was going to ask you, why are you here?"
Liu Bang's eyes darted around and after taking a look around he avoided returning the question, instead he just sat down as soon as he tugged on Yi Xiaochuan's sleeve.
"Let's sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"
"Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you? Civilians are not allowed to sit here, are you trying to cause trouble?" The clerk found out about this and hurried over.
"He is my sworn brother, if he can sit here, why can't I?"
The clerk was stunned, but instead of looking at Yi Xiaochuan whom Liu Bang was pointing at, he looked at Li Linfei on the other side, after all, he knew that Li Linfei and Yi Xiaochuan were both disciples of Xiang Liang, and Li Linfei was more noble than all these nobles of the six kingdoms combined in this room.
"Xiaochuan, this is the sworn brother you mentioned, Liu Bang, the head of the Suribachi Pavilion? The one who is third in line in the family, also known as Liu Ji?"
Before Yi Xiaochuan could answer, Liu Bang on the side was looking sideways at Li Linfei, who was alone at a table on the side.
"Brother also knows me?"
Li Linfei smiled and ignored him, turning his head to look at the clerk.
"Just let him sit here for now, don't argue with this kind of person, just this once, I will make arrangements after he can't be admitted to the Hall of the Raising of the Magi and leave!"
The clerk was stunned and looked at Li Linfei, who nodded imperceptibly, and the clerk immediately understood, so without saying another word he did not care about Liu Bang, the scoundrel, and turned away to continue his work.
The other people who were close by, except for Yi Xiaochuan, who could be described as a brainless and heartless man, looked carefully at Liu Bang after hearing Li Linfei's words, and said nothing, but never put their eyes on him again.
After all, what Li Linfei just said was very clear, don't bother with this kind of people ...... What kind of people are these? Dead people! Do you really think that Li Linfei's words just now were in favor of Liu Bang? Then you are wrong!
The meaning of his words is very clear but, that is, this person I do not want him to pass the next enlistment and become a part of the Hall of Raising Sages, you give me this face, I also give you a face, do not make trouble here, wait until after he leaves the Hall of Raising Sages I will clean him up!
Only Yi Xiaochuan, who had no heart, and Liu Bang, who had a heart but was a scoundrel from the marketplace and was not high enough, did not understand Guo Dong's meaning.
Although they felt a bit strange, they all still thought that Li Linfei was helping Liu Bang to say something good.
"Xiao Chuan, you really did not break your word, or back to Xianyang ...... how come you did not tell me a word?"
If you tell me, so I can think of a way to get you killed again in advance ah! This sentence Liu Bang put in his heart did not say, he thought everyone did not know, but did not think there is a person on the side who knows him to the bone, do not need to think to know this half of his unspoken words.
"You're really thick-skinned, I haven't asked you yet, why did you send me to repair the Great Wall?"
Listening to Yi Xiaochuan's question, Liu Bang sighed in mock helplessness.
"The team of corvée I led escaped by two, and the whole team of us had to be killed for the crime, and the officials had to take you for the head count! We are a group of brothers and a bunch of lives here! I had no choice but to acquiesce with tears!"
"Pah pah pah!
As soon as Liu Bang's words left his mouth, a sound of applause suddenly rang out from the side, interrupting Yi Xiaochuan's words.
"So you are still a benevolent and righteous pavilion chief, for the sake of a few corvée, you sacrificed yourself for others, sacrificing your own befriended brother, and a person you never knew in tears, I am really touched and impressed!"
Liu Bang's face twitched, he always felt that something was wrong with these words, but he still turned to look at Li Linfei: "You are welcome, you are welcome, thank you for understanding!"
Li Linfei waved his hand and said with a smile, "Understand, understand! I just have a doubt and I wonder if the pavilion master can solve it for me?"
Liu Bang was stunned, "Ah, please speak!"
"Then may I ask, if you are so self-sacrificing and righteous, why did you not put your name and Xiaochuan's together in the first place?"
"This ......" Liu Bang was at a loss for words, but without waiting for his sophistry, Li Linfei followed up with several more questions machine gun-like.
"Also, why did you not be more careful the next morning when the corvée was about to be handed over, to prevent the fact that you would be beheaded for the crime of guilt by association, and again have the corvée escape, but instead got drunk with someone?"
"And why was it that Xiao Chuan, who was physically stronger than you, better at martial arts than you, and a better drinker than you, was so drunk that he was unconscious and didn't even react when he was tied up and sent to the corvée team to repair the Great Wall the next day, but nothing happened to you?"
Liu Bang's face grew stiffer, the anger in Yi Xiaochuan's eyes rose even higher, and the two men at the side, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, slowly learned something about what happened at the beginning.
"Also, as far as I know, there are not a few corvée escapes or deaths, others can go sell a few slaves to replace them, why can you give up others, including your own befriended brothers, can not give up a little of your own money? The money for a meal is enough to buy a cheaper slave."
"Plus yourself, just the right amount, so why didn't you do that? Can you explain to me, Liu Bang, Lord Liu, our benevolent pavilion chief of Suribachi, who has given himself up for others?"
Liu Bang hurriedly was about to argue, but he didn't want Li Linfei to interrupt him again with a wave of his hand, "Also, when the officials accept corvée, they don't arrest whoever is available, but only whoever is written on the roster, if you don't put the names of Xiaochuan and one of the two outsiders before this, how will the officials catch them both?"
