Chapter Ten, Yu Xi, Yu Xi, what shall I do

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

I want to return to my battlefield, I want to see my Yu Ji! Hurry and take me back!

Xiang Yu raised his head and suddenly pulled me into an embrace, saying, "You are right! How did I not think of that?" I was caught off guard and gasped, saying, "If you don't let go of me, I might just go to the underworld to deliver a message to my sister-in-law!" Xiang Yu released me and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, brother. Do you really think Yu Ji can come?"

I said: "What you said is too touching"

As soon as the two of them came out, I knew what to say

At that moment, I noticed Liu Bang's strange expression. I pointed at him and said, "You must not tell anyone what we discussed; otherwise, I will lock you in a room with Qin Shi Huang" Liu Bang shrank his neck

I glanced at the fine armor on Xiang Yu and the imperial robe on Liu Bang, and it gave me quite a headache. I no longer have any clothes to change for them. Currently, the best "configuration" is with Jing Ersha, who is wearing Adidas on top and Lee on the bottom, with underwear that I just took from the packaging for him (given that Jing Ersha often forgets to zip up, wearing underwear is a must). Qin Shi Huang is somewhat lacking, dressed in a set of nylon garments, with underwear that I have previously worn. Several sets of clothes, along with changes, leave me with no summer clothes to give to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

As long as my sister-in-law and the books have not yet been reincarnated, I will definitely use my connections to bring her here. Xiang Yu wanted to embrace me again, but I jumped 5 meters away. He awkwardly smiled and said, "From now on, you are my own brother."

I arrived at the residence of Qin Shi Huang, rummaged through a large pile of disordered clothes in the wardrobe, and returned. I pulled Jing Ke, who was lying on the bed listening to the semiconductor, to the door and said to the two of them: "Change your clothes, not a single piece can be missing from inside to outside." Xiang Yu was absent-minded, and whatever I said, he just listened. Liu Bang knew I was a simpleton and did not dare to offend me

I stood in the living room, feeling troubled. After arranging for Li Shishi, I had already caused a separation between Baozi and myself. Now, with two more freeloaders arriving, how should I address this with her

This action evoked my profound sympathy. A man with such deep feelings and loyalty is truly hard to find, and he can maintain his heroic essence, crying when he wishes and laughing when he pleases—Xiang Yu's tears are as large as a holy era.

Xiang Yu glanced at Liu Lao Liu, seemingly with some apprehension. Liu Lao Liu extinguished his cigarette and said, "He has something on his mind, perhaps he doesn't want me to know. I originally had the ability to read minds, but unfortunately, I can only use it once a day—just now, I noticed you wanted to hit me on the head with the ashtray." He stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave. You don't have to hate me so much; if Xiang Yu hadn't caused such a ruckus, I wouldn't have come to find you so quickly."

Xiang Yu glanced at Liu Bang after hearing this: "The Han Dynasty? So you really became the emperor in the end?" Liu Bang's face once again displayed that expression that seemed like a smile and a cry at the same time

After Liu Laoliu left, Xiang Yu suddenly rushed in front of me, lifted me into the air, and growled, "Take me back!" I stepped on the Cloud-Soaring Steps and shouted, "Where should I take you?"

I pointed to myself floating in the air and said: "If I were an immortal, do you think you could treat me this way?"

China, your hometown is now called Hubei

I spread my hands and say: "Anyway, I can't do it. To be honest with you, I am not a deity at all, and this is not a realm of immortals."

Xiang Yu's eyes were filled with fury: "I will say it again, I want you to take me back!"

Liu Bang appeared even more cheerful, running out dressed in autumn clothes and trousers. The two of them, one tall and one short, were dressed in a mismatched manner, looking dejected, resembling two refugees.

Xiang Yu was wearing the school uniform from my high school days, with the sleeves reaching his elbows. Back then, I had to roll up the cuffs of my pants, but he wore them like cropped pants. The reason I haven't thrown away this set of uniforms is that I thought it could serve as a mop.

I walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Yu, don't be too sad. Let's think of a way. Just think, since you can come here, your sister-in-law might also be able to come. I swear, if she comes, I will spend all my savings to send you both on a trip to Europe."

I immediately recalled what Liu Laoliu said to me the first time we met. Now it seems that the ambition of King Chu has not waned. If he could truly return to the battlefield, even if he were placed at Gaixia, based on past experiences, the outcome between him and Liu Bang would still be uncertain. Personally, I prefer Xiang Yu, even though he treated me with disdain from the moment he entered. However, the consequences of sending him back to history are evidently too great for even someone as high-ranking as Yama to bear, which is why they sought me out as a scapegoat.

I led them to Jing Ke's room and said to Liu Bang: "The fat man next door is Qin Shi Huang. If you dare to speak carelessly, I will tell him everything you have done. Call Zhang Liang and Han Xin over; the three of you together wouldn't be enough for him to have a meal." I then said to Xiang Yu: "Brother Yu, I know you are a hero and care for nothing, but those matters from the past..." Xiang Yu interrupted me, saying: "I care for nothing except for Yu Ji; I will not provoke him with - Tu - Shu." Call Zhang Liang and Han Xin over; the three of you together wouldn't be enough for him to have a meal. I then said to Xiang Yu: "Brother Yu, I know you are a hero and care for nothing, but those matters from the past..." Xiang Yu interrupted me, saying: "I care for nothing except for Yu Ji; I will not provoke him with - Tu - Shu."

Traveling by train takes more than 20 hours—oh, I apologize, I forgot you might not understand. Riding a horse would take half a month. It would be of no use for you to go there; even if you were to find the bones of Yu Ji, they would still belong to the state

Where is this?

Xiang Yu suddenly turned to look at me: "I can give him the kingdom, you just need to take me back, I only ask that Yu Ji does not die."

How far is this from Hubei

I helplessly said: "I am not a deity, how could I possibly take you back to the Han Dynasty?"

Xiang Yu, in a daze, threw me to the ground and murmured, "It turns out that the year I gained by causing a commotion in the underworld can only be spent in a state of lingering survival (this idiom originated in the Song Dynasty; everyone should appreciate its spirit, and you may also understand that Xiang Yu learned it in the underworld)." This iron-willed man then began to weep bitterly before my eyes

I gave up struggling and said in mid-air: "Even if I manage to bring you back, your hundreds of thousands of brothers will still gang up on you and your woman, and it will be the same outcome." Xiang Yu laughed heartily like a child, but his expression was ferocious, his laughter mixed with anger and arrogance: "With Yu Ji by my side, breaking through the encirclement is as easy as pie. However, seeing my ambitions wane, Yu Ji intended to inspire my resolve with her death. In the end, I, Xiang, was deceived by others and came to loathe the Wu River. Only upon reaching the underworld did I realize that all ambitions for dominance are but fleeting illusions. If I had to choose again, I would prefer to quietly spend a year with Yu Ji."

However, this fellow actually has quite a good rapport with others; he is likely the type of charming rogue. After being an emperor for many years, he seems to have become a bit rusty in his thinking. When I startled him, a rather peculiar expression appeared on his face: he wanted to put on a smile but was habitually inclined to maintain a stern demeanor. I found him somewhat pitiable, so I let him go and approached Xiang Yu, saying: "Brother Bawang, what’s wrong? Let the matters of the past go; is there something troubling you?"

Are you really not a deity

I led two people stealthily upstairs, passing through the first bedroom—Baozi and the others were already awake and chatting inside. We then moved through the second room—a bedroom converted from a storage room—where Qin Shi Huang was still asleep. Logically speaking, these three individuals should not be able to engage in a conflict if they were to meet—though Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had both seen the procession of Ying Panzai pass by, theoretically, they would never actually see Qin Shi Huang himself, and Qin Shi Huang would have no way of knowing what these two were up to. Yet, I still felt it was too strange to have these three people in the same room.

Liu Bang was instantly dumbfounded. We know that this person was a professional hoodlum in his youth, lazy and indulgent. His father often told him: If you don't farm, I will no longer consider you my son
