Chapter 285 The Xiang Family's Involvement in the Shangdang County Incident!
Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat.
This is the trump card for rebellion!
Shangdang County is now the core heavy industrial base of the Great Qin Dynasty, with coal mines and steel mills located here. How dare you, a rebel leader, extend your reach so far and brazenly tell me such information that could lead to the extermination of nine generations of your family?
Looking at Zhang Fan's utterly shocked expression.
Mi Yueyao stared intently into his eyes, then smiled slightly and said softly:
"Because I believe that Young Master Zhang would never harm me."
"..."
Upon hearing this sentence...
Zhang Fan opened his mouth, but a thousand words of his grandmother's language got stuck in his throat, and in the end, he could only let out a long sigh.
The State of Chu cannot be restored!
We are all Chinese, why be so fixated on this?
He was so frustrated that he didn't even want to talk anymore, and just slumped in his chair and gave up.
Besides!
Are you really not afraid of death?!
Aren't you afraid that one day I won't be able to withstand the pressure from Brother Zheng and will sell you out?
Seeing Zhang Fan's lifeless appearance, Mi Yueyao hesitated for a long time, as if she had made a major decision in her heart.
She slowly suppressed her smile, her expression becoming more serious, and continued:
"Actually, Young Master Zhang, there's no need to worry so much."
"Regarding the deadlock exposed by coal smuggling, someone has already come up with a solution for us."
"Oh?"
Zhang Fan raised an eyelid and asked weakly, "Who is it? Such a boastful tone?"
Mi Yueyao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"There is a great figure in Jiangdong, a descendant of Xiang Yan, a famous general of the Chu state, named Xiang Liang!"
"Upon learning of the current predicament in Shangdang County, he sent me a message by carrier pigeon, saying that he had a brilliant plan to completely resolve the matter and quell the anger of the Qin court!"
"Right now, all we need to do is remain still and wait for him to take charge and resolve the situation!"
In an instant!
Zhang Fan sprang up from his chair again, his eyes wide as saucers, and exclaimed in shock:
"Who? Who do you think it is?"
"Xiang Liang?"
Zhang Fan felt his breathing become rapid!
Xiang Liang!
As a modern person who has received nine years of compulsory education, he is extremely familiar with this name!
This is the uncle of the famous Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu!
The number one warlord who restored the Chu state!
Zhang Fan's mind began to frantically recall the historical dramas and historical books he had watched in his previous life.
"Xiang Liang... Xiang Yu... Fan Zeng was the 'Father-in-Chief'... Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Liu Bang..."
"The Xiang family is actually coming to Shangdang County?"
"Shouldn't these powerful guys be quietly developing their strength in Jiangdong? Why are they getting involved in this mess?"
The immense historical impact stirred a surge of excitement in Zhang Fan.
Then, his mind suddenly went abruptly, and an absurd thought popped into his head:
"etc……"
"Now that Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, these bigwigs of Chu, have started to become active..."
"So what was Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, doing at this time?"
"Judging by the time... is that old rogue still serving as the village head in Pei County, leading Fan Kuai and his gang to kill dogs and eat meat every day, acting like a street thug?"
Watching Zhang Fan's sudden changes in expression, sometimes his eyes would light up, sometimes his expression would shift unpredictably, and he would mutter something under his breath.
Mi Yueyao's expression immediately turned strange.
Her beautiful, arched eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Young Master Zhang?"
Mi Yueyao called out softly, hesitated for a long time, and finally stepped forward.
A captivating fragrance of perfume wafted over, and Mi Yueyao slowly extended her jade-like hand, her palm slightly cool, and placed it on Zhang Fan's broad forehead, testing its temperature.
"It's so hot..."
"Could it be that dealing with the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty these past few days has caused you to worry too much, leading to internal heat and making you delirious?" Mi Yueyao murmured softly, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.
The sudden cool touch on his forehead instantly brought Zhang Fan back to his senses!
Looking at that stunningly beautiful face so close to mine, my heart skipped a beat.
He quickly shrank back, gently slapped away the delicate hand, and said repeatedly:
"No fever! No fever!"
"I'm perfectly awake!"
Seeing Zhang Fan's expression, Mi Yueyao wasn't angry.
She withdrew her hand very naturally.
"It's good that you're awake!"
"Since Young Master Zhang reacted so strongly upon hearing Xiang Liang's name, with the Immortal Master's divine wisdom, he must have already known about the capabilities of the Xiang clan of Jiangdong."
"With Xiang Liang personally making the plans, Young Master Zhang should be able to rest assured now, right?"
Hearing Mi Yueyao's confident words...
Zhang Fan went through Xiang Liang's historical biography in his mind once again.
Xiang Liang is a ruthless character!
This old fellow is not only exceptionally skilled in military strategy, but also remarkably shrewd in political maneuvering.
During the great uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, he astutely seized the opportunity, not only beheading Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji, and raising an army of 8,000 from Jiangdong, but also finding a descendant of the Chu state who was a shepherd to be installed as King Huai of Chu, thus fooling the anti-Qin forces in the world!
If it weren't for his arrogance and underestimation of his enemy, which led to his home being raided by Zhang Han in Dingtao, it would be hard to say who the ultimate winner of this chaotic era at the end of the Qin Dynasty would have been!
Thinking about this...
Zhang Fan's previously anxious heart immediately settled back into his stomach.
"Phew... If that old fox were to personally intervene, this deadlock might actually be solvable!"
Zhang Fan secretly calculated in his heart:
"That old fox Xiang Liang is a master at playing power games and pulling off elaborate schemes. Since he dares to boast that he can quell the anger of the Qin court, his plan must be pretty much a done deal."
"After all, he does have some brains!"
Having completely figured this out, the gloom on Zhang Fan's face vanished instantly.
He plopped back down in his chair, picked up his chopsticks, and scooped up another piece of beef tripe that had been cooked until it was soft and tender.
Once the sense of crisis was relieved, the hot pot tasted even better!
Mi Yueyao shook her head helplessly, but a gentle smile appeared on her lips. She then picked up her chopsticks and joined him in eating.
however!
at the same time.
Jiangdong, a thousand miles away.
Kuaiji Commandery, within Wu County.
Inside a luxurious private room, heavily guarded by Chu's elite assassins.
Ji Dan (the fake Zhang Fan), who was wearing Zhang Fan's face, was sweating profusely and pacing frantically back and forth in the room!
He gripped his hair tightly with both hands, his once dignified and otherworldly image completely shattered; he was practically on the verge of tears.
"Damn Xiang Liang! That heartless Xiang Liang!!!"
"I'm nothing but a fraudulent swindler, and you actually think I'm some kind of god?"
Ji Dan now even feels like dying.
Just yesterday!
Xiang Liang, a member of the Xiang clan of Jiangdong, suddenly paid him a secret visit in a hurry.
Xiang Liang dismissed his attendants and solemnly relayed the intelligence from Xianyang to himself!
The Black Ice Guard has uncovered a major case of remnants of the Chu Kingdom illegally mining coal in Shangdang County!
Shangdang County is extremely important. If it is completely eradicated, it will inevitably implicate the Xiang family of Jiangdong!
