The atmosphere in Chu suddenly became tense. Wang Jian's people began to search for Xiang Liang's whereabouts. As long as they found them, they would flock to them. If they could kill a thief, they would be a thief.

In just a few days, Xiang Liang's range of activities was controlled by Wang Jian. No matter where he fled, there were always Qin soldiers waiting for him.

Xiang Liang and his men ran left and right in Chu. They often jumped out of the surround at the cost of hundreds of people, and soon fell into another surround.

There were also Zhao Tuo's people who had been using their hands around. After a few days, Xiang Liang suffered heavy losses. The troops who had finally gathered together were almost over.

Xiang Liang was a little desperate and shouted to the sky: "Wang Jian, you are really confused. What benefits can kill me do to him?"

…………

In Wang Jian's camp, Wang Heng was conspiring with Wang Jian again.

Wang Heng whispered: "Grandfather, in my opinion, this Liang is low-skilled and stupid. Working with him is really a burden to us."

Wang Jian nodded deeply: "Recently, I am also thinking whether another person should be chosen to support Xiang Liang's position. However... there are not many such people in Chu. After all, Xiang has been generals for several generations, and it still has a certain influence in Chu."

Wang Heng smiled slightly and said, "Why did my grandfather forget? Even if Xiang Liang has any influence, he is just a minister."

Wang Jian was slightly stunned and looked at Wang Heng: "What do you mean..."

Wang Heng whispered: "Among the six kingdoms, King Huai of Chu is the most sympathetic. Most people in Chu miss King Huai of Chu. Why didn't my grandfather take this opportunity to order people to take the banner of King Huai of Chu?"

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Speak."

Wang Heng whispered: "The State of Chu was destroyed and the royal family was captured, but there were always some bloodlines that were wandering among the people. We can find these bloodlines, and we can't even find the true descendants of the King of Chu. If we choose any person, we will say that he is a descendant. Who can know?"

"We just find a young man who has no roots and no foundation, and say that he is a descendant of the King of Chu. He helped him to the throne. As for the title of king, he was also appointed as King Huai to arouse the Chu people's heart of missing their homeland."

"As for King Huai of Chu, we were all placed around him. He was just a puppet. King Huai was young and had no knowledge, so he could only let us mercy. He was probably more than hundreds of times better than Xiang Liang."

Wang Jian nodded slightly, but he quickly shook his head again: "No, no."

Wang Heng asked, "Why can't you do it?"

Wang Jian said: "We cooperate with Xiang Liang to support the enemy. If we support a King Huai of Chu in Chu, it would be a rebellion against Qin, which is a serious crime of treason."

Wang Heng laughed: "Grandfather thought, if the emperor knew that we colluded with Xiang Liang, he would not treat us as traitors? Cooperating with Xiang Liang is a death sentence, and cooperating with King Huai is also a death sentence."

"Since it's all death penalty, what else can I take into account? What's more..."

Speaking of this, Wang Heng looked around cautiously. Although there was no one nearby, he still lowered his voice: "What's more, if things really change in the future, what if they are against the Qin Dynasty? My Wang family will help King Huai of Chu and truly establish the State of Chu."

"When the Chu State is stable and the time is right, I will depose King Huai of Chu and let my Wang family become the King of Chu."

Wang Jian looked at Wang Heng in amazement, and then said for a while: "Your father said you are very brave, and I finally saw it today."

Wang Heng smiled slightly and said, "The grandson is just thinking about change. The grandson is born in a cold and can only take a different approach. Otherwise, how could he have a chance to make a comeback?"

Wang Jian sighed: "Heng'er, do you do this without regard for your reputation? Have you never thought about how the historian will record my Wang family in the future?"

Wang Heng said with a smile: "Shang Tang, Zhou Wenwu, they are all ruthless people who kill lords and usurpate the rebellion. What is their reputation now?"

Wang Jian hesitated for a long time and whispered: "This matter cannot be done unless it is absolutely necessary."

Wang Heng was not surprised, and he whispered: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, my grandson will not do it. However, it is always good to prepare for the future. If my grandfather agrees, I will immediately order someone to find the descendants of the King of Chu."

"If we can use it, we will support him as the King of Chu. If we can't use it, we will kill it with one knife."

Wang Jian nodded.

Wang Heng also said: "In addition, we must also arrange close friends in the army as soon as possible, from generals to sergeant commanders, and it is best that we are all our people. In this way, once there is a change, this 100,000 army can follow my Wang family."

Wang Jian agreed again.

He looked at Wang Heng and sighed, "I have been wondering recently whether you are the lucky star of my Wang family or the disaster star. What you do may make my Wang family revival, or may make my Wang family in a state of no return."

Wang Heng said: "The grandson is just a boat. Now Wang is trapped on an isolated island, with floods outside. If he doesn't take a boat, he will be drowned one day. If he takes a boat, he may be able to get ashore, or the boat will capsize and he will be buried in the belly of a fish. The grandson is neither a disaster nor a blessing star, but a way out for Wang."

Wang Jian nodded: "Forget it, you go."

Wang Heng responded and left hurriedly.

…………

On the hill near the Wang family camp, there was a man looking here with a telescope. He was Li Xin's nephew, Li Ji.

Li Ji looked at it and kept whispering: "Wang Heng is coming out again, and he is still the servant he trusts most. I'm afraid he's going to make some moves again. Come on, follow me."

A servant named Li Bing next to Li Ji agreed and followed.

It has been more than ten days since Li Ji arrived in Chu. After he arrived, he did not immediately enter Wang Jian’s camp, but hid in a nearby barren mountain and kept observing Wang Jian quietly.

Now Li Ji has mastered a lot of things, such as the place where Wang Jian and Xiang Liang are connected, and Wang Jian secretly transported food and grass to Xiang Liang privately.

Any one of these evidences is enough to condemn Wang Jian’s death penalty.

However, Wang Jian and Xiang Liang have been fighting very lively recently, as if they are fighting with real swords and guns, which is different from the intentional acting in the past.

Li Ji was also puzzled at first, but in the end he could only think that these two people broke up.

Now that the evidence has been collected, no trace of Song Liu was found. There are two possibilities: either Song Liu was killed, or Song Liu was hidden in a secret place and could not be seen with a telescope. Therefore, Li Ji planned to enter the military camp and investigate quietly.

Before coming to Chu, Ying Zheng gave Li Ji a list. The generals above were appointed by Ying Zheng himself, so they could trust them. After arriving in Chu, they could seek their help.

But Li Ji was a little worried about this. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Who knows whether they have any other thoughts under Wang Jian's power? If they defect to Wang Jian, they would have fallen into the trap.

However, before leaving, Li Xin also gave Li Ji a list. Among the generals who went to war, some of them were Li Xin's own people.

However, Li Xin did not deliberately try to win over the generals, but these people either received favors from Li Xin or had followed him to fight in all directions, so they admired Li Xin very much.

Li Ji compared the two lists and found that one of them was named Liu Wei. This person should be reliable.

So Li Ji stole a piece of clothes, pretended to be Qin soldiers, and entered Liu Wei's camp.

During the day, Li Ji was still able to fish in troubled waters, but when the soldiers started eating, Li Ji couldn't hide it. Because the soldiers used the ranks as units to make rice, it was easy to find that Li Ji did not belong to any ranks.

Whenever this happened, Li Ji always hid and secretly ate the dry food he brought. I have to say that these days have been so miserable.

Every day, Li Ji always uses various excuses to investigate and secretly investigate Song Liu's whereabouts, but he never finds nothing.

Later, he simply searched for each camp. From Song E, he knew Song Liu's appearance. What's more, if an old man from Song Liu was really among the Qin soldiers, he would be very conspicuous.

Unfortunately, Li Ji found nothing in the end. However, after searching for it like this, he still found some unusual places.

In Liu Wei's military camp, there is an inconspicuous tent. This tent is very small and even a bit worn. Every time Li Ji wanted to get close, he was scolded away.

Then he discovered that near the camp, there was always a group of soldiers, about one hundred people, wandering around. These hundred people seemed to be wandering, but in fact they were secretly watching the camp.

Is it necessary to use a team of people to guard such a broken camp? And it is used to cover up the people.

There are only two possibilities: either there are important treasures or important people inside.

Li Ji felt that the latter possibility was relatively large. He even vaguely guessed that Song Liu was likely to stay in it. However... how to contact Song Liu was a bit difficult. Li Ji was a little hesitant whether to find Liu Wei directly and reveal his identity.

…………

Wang Jian was sitting in the camp, studying the situation in Chu. Wang Heng's previous words were like a spell, and he kept wandering in his mind.

Being the King of Chu? It's better than being a general in the court. But... can this King of Chu be safe? Can the tiger and wolf army of the Qin Dynasty let him go?

Wang Jian was struggling, and suddenly Wang Heng hurried in and said to Wang Jian: "Xiang Liang sent someone to deliver something."

Wang Jian asked, "What is it?"

Wang Heng took over a wooden box, opened it, and there was a bow inside.

This bow is not a treasure bow, it is just an ordinary bow. It has been used half old, mostly worn, and even a lot of dust fell on it, making it dirty, as if it hadn't been moved for many years.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "The birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden? Xiang Liang is trying to persuade me. Now he understands that he is a bird? It's so stupid that he dared to attack and kill my personal army before."

Wang Heng whispered: "My grandson has already contacted his people. Xiang Liang said that it was my Wang family's confidant, who killed his five thousand men first. He thought that my Wang family was going to cross the river and burn the bridge, so he took revenge."

Wang Jian frowned: "Which nonsense is the case?"

Wang Heng said: "Sun's so-called. Perhaps Xiang Liang recognized the wrong person and recognized the other generals' men as my Wang clerk."

Wang Jian nodded and said to Wang Heng: "That's what Xiang Liang said?"

Wang Heng smiled and said, "Xiang Liang is only more than 300 people, each of whom is injured, and he is really exhausted. He asked that according to the past practice, I, Wang, still secretly sponsor him, and he is willing to be a good bird so that my Wang's bow can be useful."

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Yes, of course, it's OK. But I'm becoming more and more suspicious of Xiang Liang's ability."

Wang Heng nodded with consent and said, "So, my grandson suggested that we should continue to cooperate with Xiang Liang. In addition, there should be some preparations for King Huai. If Xiang Liang really can't do it, we have another King Huai to use."

Wang Jian nodded: "Okay, let's do it as it should."

Wang Heng did not leave, but said hesitantly: "There is another thing that I think is very strange."

Wang Jian asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Heng whispered: "Recently, I have been installing our people in the army. Other places have been smoother, but I have encountered some resistance at Liu Wei."

"Liu Wei has a confidant named Liu Feng. This man was originally a beggar, but later he followed Liu Wei and his surname was Liu. This man was a centurion, and his team was extremely stubborn. I want to give him a few soldiers for nothing, but he doesn't want it."

Wang Jian said, "What's strange about this?"

Wang Heng said: "It's just that. For several days, Liu Feng's more than 100 people have been wandering in the same place and never left."

Wang Jian exclaimed: "What's there?"

Wang Heng said: "There is nothing. That's why my grandson felt extremely suspicious. Later, I asked someone to investigate carefully, but I didn't find any news. It can be seen that they didn't have any news, but they were extremely strict in their defenses, and outsiders had no way to know."

Wang Jian's expression also became solemn.
