Four hundred and twentieth chapters the land of tigers and wolves(1/2)
On the way to the palace, Wu Jiao sighed and said to Li Shui: "Sir, it is not a long-term solution for us to hide in the palace like this."
Li Shui's eyes widened: "Nothing nonsense, who said I was going to hide in the palace? I just wanted to go to the palace to discuss writing a book with the princess."
Wujiao: "..."
He laughed dryly and said, "Sir, why don't we kill Xiang Yu with one knife? Wouldn't that be convenient?"
Li Shui also sighed and said worriedly: "I originally thought to use him to sharpen the guards in Shangjun Villa."
Wu Jiao said: "In my opinion, those guards have almost been tempered. They are extremely vigilant and can be ten. If an assassin really comes, even if they have the ability to be able to make a fortune, they will not cause any storm."
Li Shuishen nodded with consent, and then said: "They have completed the task of honing the guards, but I still want to use their identities to sell tickets."
Wu Jiao thought to himself: "If you want to reveal their identities, you must arrest them. What the adults mean is to do it now?"
Li Shui held the helmet on his head, and this thing was so heavy.
He said listlessly: "I want to arrest people. But Your Majesty doesn't allow me. Your Majesty told me not to alert the snake, saying that after completely quelling the thieves in the south, we should let Xiang Yu confront the thieves."
Wu Jiao said in confusion: "Will you still be able to confront each other after you arrest it?"
Li Shui said: "After arresting, other thieves in Xianyang City will flee. Recently, the detailed work of the thieves are working hard to find out their accomplices. When they have completely found out, they will take action."
Wu Jiao suddenly realized, then looked at Li Shui with sympathy: "When will that adult be back?"
Li Shui thought for a while and said, "Let's stabilize first and see the situation. As I expected, Xiang Yu and his group heard that they could be personal guards and should be able to stay peaceful for a while. If this is true, it would be fine if I returned to Shangjun Villa."
…………
In Shangjun Villa, Xiang Yu was taking Xiang's children to practice.
In this competition, there is no competition, but Xiang Yu felt that it was nothing more than strength, speed, courage, and martial arts.
So they have to practice hard before completing their work.
Several Xiang family members borrowed sacks from the warehouse, filled them with sand, and carried them on their backs. They never left their bodies when walking and eating.
Xiang Yu even found a big stone, held it and walked ten steps, hundreds of steps, and thousands of steps...
Many people were amazed.
Someone said: "In fact, it's not a competition. Just circle these people and see their training will be enough to attract a lot of people."
Everyone nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
As a result, this news really reached the ears of some wealthy businessmen.
There was a restaurant owner who spent a lot of money to send a letter to Xiang Yu. It means: "Warrior, where are you practicing your strength? Why not come to my restaurant to practice. You can not only help me attract customers, but also earn some half a tael of money every day. The best of both worlds.
Xiang Yu was so angry that he tore the letter casually.
After hearing this, the craftsmen in Shangjun Villa admired Xiang Yu very much. Many people found him and said to him: "You did a good job and did not insult our Shangjun Villa's reputation. If we go to such a small restaurant to attract customers, what would it be?"
"If you want to become famous, you have to be at the competition held by the exiled immortals. That way you can be faced."
This sentence makes Xiang Yu hate him: Why? Do you think of me as an actor? It is a special person to make fun of the nobles?
Although Xiang Yu was angry, he did not show it on the surface and still tried hard to keep a smile.
After the news reached Li Shui's ears, Li Shui suddenly had a new idea: Xiang Yu was in Shangjun Villa, and relied on a barley team, and seemed to be very well-known. If he was praised as a star, he should be able to make a lot of money.
When he was not famous, he ate my Shangjun Villa and drank my Shangjun Villa. Now that he is famous, should he repay me?
From now on, his image will be packaged by me, his business will be taken by me, and then I will take a part of the profits from it. Should it be fine, right?
The more Li Shui thought about it, the more excited he became, so he took out a small book and wrote it down.
Princess Weiyang sat opposite him and saw him giggling, then wrote and painted on the paper, and asked curiously: "What are you writing?"
Li Shui said: "It's nothing, there are just some small plans to benefit the people."
Princess Weiyang sighed: "For the benefit of the people, I'm afraid that only you can say such a grand thing is so lightly."
Li Shui said modestly: "The princess is too much. For me, it's just a small task."

At Sishui Pavilion, Liu Ji sat in the dilapidated yard of his house and was entertaining Xiao He.
He used a bowl of water to fill Xiao He with a missing mouth, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, do you have such time to visit the humble house?"
Xiao He looked at the bowl of hot water, and some dirty things floated inside, and frowned helplessly.
He looked around and said with emotion: "Liu Ji, you are really a bare-stop."
Liu Ji smiled dryly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Xiao, I am planning to do business with Fan Kuai Lu Wan and others. It will probably not take long to make a lot of money. By then, I will naturally be able to buy some new furniture.
Xiao He smiled: "When doing business, there are times when you make money, there are times when you lose money. Don't be so confident."
Liu Ji thought: I will definitely not be able to pay off my business.
Xiao He cleared his throat and said slowly: "Liu Ji, how old are you this year?"
Liu Ji was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Xiao, aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
Xiao He said: "You are at your age, you haven't married or had children yet, but it's a bit..."
Liu Ji nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's a bit late. However, when I make money, I can naturally get married."
Xiao He said lightly: "You and I are friends. You usually do some stealing things, and I have to cover them up with the county magistrate."
Liu Ji nodded repeatedly and said gratefully: "Mr. Xiao is kind to the villain, how can a villain not know? When I make money in business, I naturally have to thank Master Xiao."
Xiao He frowned and thought to himself: Why did Liu Ji do this? He can’t do it without making money by opening his mouth and shutting up. He is so confident?
Xiao He calmed down and said to Liu Ji: "I am here to introduce you to a marriage."
Liu Ji was slightly stunned, and then asked with interest: "I don't know, the woman is..."
Xiao He said: "Mr. Lu, who just came to our Pei County, has a daughter in his family who is already at the age of getting married. Mr. Lu just came to Pei County and was not familiar with the people here, so he invited me to help him with the staff."
"Liu Ji, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everyone knows that Mr. Lu is rich and is a good friend of the county magistrate. It can be said that he is a wealthy man who wants money and power."
"I was thinking about it. I had the best relationship with you, and you didn't happen to have a wife. Therefore, I praised you very much from Gong Lu. I told you to be a great hero with great ambitions."
Liu Ji felt warm in his heart and said with great emotion: "Mr. Xiao, you have repeatedly helped me, and I really can't repay you. I..."
Liu Ji wiped his tears.
Xiao He was very satisfied with his opinion, and then said, "Mr. Lu trusts me quite a bit and has agreed. Therefore, let me ask you what you mean. If you agree, we will choose a good day and get married."
Liu Ji was overjoyed and rubbed his hands repeatedly.
Xiao He said again: "I think your family is very poor, so it's better to lend you some things and give you some money. After all, Miss Lu is a wealthy family, so you can't be too wronged."
Liu Ji saluted repeatedly and said with great emotion: "Mr. Xiao, I am grateful. Please accept my greeting."
Xiao He smiled and said, "Liu Ji, we are our own brothers, why bother like this? As long as you become successful in the future, don't forget me."
Liu Ji said repeatedly: "I dare not forget, I dare not forget."
Speaking of this, Liu Ji was suddenly stunned and thought to himself: How did Lord Xiao know that I am going to make a fortune? Could it be... I have already known that I have obtained a lot of money recently? How did he know?
Liu Ji raised his head and saw Xiao He looking at him with a smile, but this smile revealed a wisdom to see through everything.
"Mr. Xiao, it's such a strange man." Liu Ji sighed in his heart. When he looked at Xiao He again, he became even more awe.
After seeing Xiao He off, Liu Ji began to think about giving gifts.
As a result, just as he was halfway through his thoughts, Lu Wan came hurriedly and said to Liu Ji: "Brother, it's not good. Big things are not good."
Liu Ji was startled and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"
Lu Wan said panting: "The imperial army and the imperial army are here."
Liu Ji's face turned pale: "Tell me clearly."
Lu Wan said, "Brother asked me to go to the north to buy some broken swords and zithers, and come back to open a store to use it. So I went there."
"As a result, on the way back, I saw three thousand Qin soldiers, real elite soldiers and powerful generals, like a gust of wind, and extremely fast."
"It happened to be foggy that day, and the three thousand people seemed to have lost their way. So a general asked me where Pei County is."
"I thought to myself, why did the emperor's envoy come to ask about his brother just now, and Qin soldiers came next? Could it be that they were here to catch their brother, right? So I lied to them and pointed in the wrong direction. Then I drove the carriage and came back overnight to report the news."
Liu Ji patted Lu Wan on the shoulder hard: "You saved my life. Go quickly, let's go quickly."
Lu Wan asked, "Are you still hiding in Mangdang Mountain?"
Liu Ji nodded.
Lu Wan said, "No. On the way back, I thought about it all the way. If the court wants to arrest my brother, as long as the order is given, the magistrate of Pei County will take a few servants, and he can do it. Why did he spend a lot of effort and send 3,000 people?"
Liu Ji was confused: "Speak."
Lu Wan said: "It is obvious that the court has guessed that my brother might have fled to the mountains and forests. These three thousand people are for searching the mountains. Although Mangdang Mountain is high and dense, the terrain is hidden. However, these three thousand people guarded various intersections, trapped us on the mountain, and then sent people in to search, we may still not be able to escape."
Liu Ji asked, "Then what are your opinions?"
Lu Wan shrank her neck: "I don't know either."
Liu Ji was paced back and forth in the yard. After a while, he suddenly said, "For the sake of the present, I'm afraid I need to muddle the water."
Lu Wan asked, "Brother means..."
