General Qin

Chapter 799 Choice

Xiang Ji raised his head, glanced at Liu Bang, and said expressionlessly: "Nothing."

With that said, he put away the letter, got up and walked away.

Liu Bang stood there, watching Xiang Ji striding away, and sneered secretly: "Nothing? You just looked red and furious, could it be that the girl you love at home was caught first?"

Thinking jokingly in his heart, Liu Bang looked at Xiang Ji's back with a little doubt.

After getting along with each other for the past few years, he keenly discovered that his brother was a little unusual.

"Very weird."

Liu Bang frowned.

The reason for suspicion was that he found that Liu Yu sometimes deliberately changed and disguised his habits.

Compared with the children of upper-class aristocrats, compared with those from ordinary small families or those from Guizhou Province at the bottom, whether it is their daily conversation or living habits, they are not from the same world.

When Liu Bang was young, he worked as a ranger and traveled all over the country. He had seen people from all walks of life and was very sensitive to this aspect.

He found that Liu Yu liked to use some "advanced" vocabulary when speaking, which was not very down-to-earth.

At the same time, when eating, Liu Yu would also instinctively pay attention to his sitting posture. He often sat in a standard aristocratic posture, which was completely different from the big guys who could just sit anywhere and feast.

In fact, this is not a big problem. The Liu family in Xutai is said to be a wealthy family. It can be explained by the fact that Liu Yu received a good education since childhood.

The problem is that when Liu Yu discovers that someone is observing him, he will deliberately become vulgar. Occasionally he will say "Nai Gong" or deliberately make a Jiju posture, and it seems that he is trying to hide it.

But the more he does this, the weirder he looks and looks very awkward.

The habits a person has developed since childhood have long been engraved in the body's instincts. It is difficult to abandon the lifestyle of more than ten years and learn the behavior of another class in a short period of time.

"The acting is so bad."

This is Liu Bang's evaluation.

He found it very funny when he saw Liu Yu sometimes stammering and using the word "Nai Gong", but he just couldn't expose it in person due to brotherly feelings.

At the same time, Liu Bang also discovered that Liu Yu sometimes showed kindness to him when talking, and it seemed that he was trying to win people's hearts.

But for a veteran like Liu Bang, Liu Yu's methods seemed too immature. If nothing else, they were far behind Zhang Er back then.

In addition, Liu Yu deliberately changed his behavior and habits, which made Liu Bang suspicious.

"There must be a secret about this kid."

Liu Bang squinted his eyes and began to have thoughts in his head.

At the same time, Xiang Ji felt the fire surging in his body after reading the letter. The blazing anger made him unbearable, and he just wanted to find a place to vent.

It's just that we are in the military camp now. According to military regulations, the officers and soldiers of the Qin Army are not allowed to go out without missions and military orders.

Xiang Ji hesitated and walked towards Huxuan in the corner of the military camp.

As soon as I walked into Muxuan, the stench hit my nose.

Xiang Ji glanced around and saw that no one was here. He couldn't bear it anymore and growled: "You want me to give up? For the sake of my family? Am I, Xiang Ji, such a covetous person?"

He took out the letter, read the words on it again, then tore it into pieces and threw it into the pit, letting the filth underneath corrode it.

The letter was sent by the Liu family of Xutai County, and was signed by his father in name, but the content was actually written by Xiang Sheng in some secret words that they had discussed in advance.

Give up the assassination!

This is the core content of the letter.

Due to the word limit and the fear of saying too much and causing leakage, there were not many reasons given in the letter. One of them was that he hoped Xiang Ji would consider the continuation of the family.

"Xiang."

Xiang Ji murmured in his heart.

Their Xiang clan has been the generals of the Chu State for generations, and they have conquered all directions for the King of Chu. In terms of status, they may not be as good as Qu Jingzhao, but they are definitely among the upper-class nobles of Chu State. They are well-dressed and well-fed, and have been rich and powerful for generations.

Especially when his eldest father Xiang Yan came, when the Qin army came with fierce force, he turned the tide and defeated the 200,000 Qin army commanded by Li Xin, which shocked the world. Afterwards, Xiang Yan was promoted by the King of Chu to the rank of Ling Yin of the Chu Kingdom. He was known as the pillar of the country and brought the Xiang family to its peak.

The peak comes and goes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the Chu Kingdom collapsed, and Xiang Yan and his son committed suicide one after another. In order to seek the continuation of the family, Xiang Liang lowered his head and led the entire clan to surrender to the Qin army so that he could survive.

But they didn't expect to be assassinated by Zhang Liang again. The Xiang family was forced to raise an army in a hurry and was brutally destroyed. In the end, only Xiang Ji, Xiang Sheng, Xiang Zhuang and others survived.

Now, Xiang Sheng hopes that Xiang Ji can consider the survival of the Xiang family, give up the assassination of Zhao Tuo, and continue the bloodline of Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang.

Moreover, by relying on Xiang Ji's bravery, he could earn a high nobility status in the Qin army, protect others, and allow the Xiang family to start over, grow in the Qin country, and eventually become a prominent family.

Let the Xiang family be glorious again!

Xiang Ji understands the ideas of Xiang Sheng and others.

During the three years of the Southern Expedition, he fully experienced the combat effectiveness of the Qin army and the ability of commander Zhao Tuo.

Xiang Ji knew very well that unless there were serious problems within the Qin State, or if it used tyranny to force the people of the world to rebel, no one would be able to compete with the Qin army under the current national conditions, let alone fight on the battlefield. Win Zhao Tuo.

Since the restoration of the country cannot be achieved, it is time to consider the continuation of the family.

"Xiang Sheng wants me to become a Qin general and then protect them."

Xiang Ji's heart trembled.

He thought about the various scenes he had experienced in the past three years when he and the Qin soldiers were on conquests across the border, and he also thought about the joy of being rewarded with titles and promotions whenever he made meritorious deeds.

To be honest, apart from the happy time Xiang Ji spent in Xiaxiang when he was young, these three years made him feel happy and excited, instead of being swallowed up and distorted by hatred like when he was in Xutai Shuize. .

Xiang Ji even imagined in his mind the scene of him becoming a real Qin general and leading the Qin army to conquer all directions.

Those days might be very happy.

Now there are two roads before Xiang Ji.

One is to continue to choose to assassinate Zhao Tuo and take revenge.

The other is to listen to Xiang Sheng's words, put down hatred and start over, rise up in the Qin army, and allow the family to survive and prosper.

How to choose?

"I can not do it!"

After Xiang Ji's expression changed, he finally shook his head hard and expelled the tempting scene from his mind.

"I, Xiang Ji, am originally a nobleman of Chu State. If nothing happens, I will succeed my ancestors and father and become a general of Chu State. That is the future I should have, not a general of Qin!"

"My Xiang family is a prominent family in the Chu State. There is no need to start from the Qin State. Everything we should have been destroyed by the Qin people. Zhao Tuo forced to kill my ancestors and father, destroyed our Chu State, and destroyed us. They even killed my entire Xiang family, how could I forget such hatred!"

"Xiang Sheng, you are so gentle, asking me to let go of my hatred for the sake of my family. Then my uncle and the entire Xiang family died in vain, and how can I, Xiang Ji, be a greedy person who is afraid of death for the sake of glory and wealth!"

Xiang Ji's eyes widened, his whole face turned red with anger, he raised his hand and punched the wooden frame next to him. There was only a click, and the wooden frame was broken by him on the spot.

Along with this sound, there were also doubts outside Muxuan.

"what sound?"

When Xiang Ji knew someone was coming, he quickly calmed down his anger and strode out.

Outside Muxuan, a Qin soldier was walking towards this side.

Only when Xiang Ji got closer did he realize that this was an acquaintance.

"Hey, Brother Liu, are you here to leave the arrow too?"

Peng Yue asked with a smile.

Xiang Ji nodded stiffly. In order to avoid exposing his flaws by talking too much, he said a perfunctory sentence and walked towards the camp.

Peng Yue looked at Xiang Ji's back in confusion, especially his hand that was bruised and bleeding after breaking the wooden frame.

Xiang Ji ignored the gaze behind him.

His steps were firm.

Because he has made his choice.
