Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Brotherhood

Xiao Chuan bathed and changed his clothes, kowtowed to the ancestral tablet, and respectfully offered a stick of incense. Xiang Liang handed Xiao Chuan a scroll of bamboo slips, and when the stick of incense burned out, Xiao Chuan was about to hand in the scroll. Xiao Chuan opened the bamboo slips and saw that the first level was the written test of the art of war.After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chuan began to write vigorously. When the incense in the incense burner was about to burn out, Xiao Chuan rolled up the bamboo slips and handed them back to Xiang Liang with both hands. Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng read Xiao Chuan's answer sheet together, and they were secretly amazed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuan's superficial unruly, but also thoughtful when he used his brain, the answers he gave were quite whimsical.Xiang Liang became more determined in his mind, Xiao Chuan is an indispensable right-hand man for him and Xiang Yu to carry out major events in the future, he can't go!

Therefore, Xiang Liang quietly called Xiang Yu into the room, and told him to go to battle in the next level and must defeat Xiao Chuan. Xiang Yu was full of confidence: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely let him lose!" Xiao Chuan was anxiously waiting for the result, when Xiang Liang came out from the door: "Xiao Chuan, you really lived up to your expectations as a teacher...you passed the first test!" Xiao Chuan jumped up all of a sudden: "Yeah, this is the first time in my life that I don't have to take a make-up exam! Master, you are so kind!"

Xiang Liang's face darkened: "How did I teach you as a teacher? A proud soldier must be defeated!" Xiao Chuan hurriedly restrained himself, and saluted respectfully: "Disciple realizes his mistake!" Xiao Chuan secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he watched "Thirty-six Strategies" from "Lecture Forum of Hundred Schools" back then, otherwise he wouldn't have to copy it if he wanted to cheat today! The topic of the second level really gave Xiao Chuan a headache - wrestling.What's even more troublesome is that the opponent is Xiang Yu! In the middle of the square was a large tripod weighing several hundred kilograms. Xiang Yu and Xiao Chuan had to use their own efforts to lift the tripod off the ground, and the one with the longest time would win.

Xiao Chuan cursed inwardly: Isn't this clearly asking me to lose?Xiang Yu is as strong as a cow and a horse, he is just a livestock, how can I be his opponent! Sure enough, Xiang Yu only tightened the belt around his waist, strode up to the tripod, bent down, raised his arms, roared, and the huge tripod obediently left the ground!Xiang Yu raised it above his head, but it was not satisfying, and he walked around the field three times before slowly putting down the cauldron.All the onlookers were dumbfounded, and their throats became hoarse from applauding. Xiao Chuan poked his waist and shook his head. The story of the overlord lifting the tripod seems not to be a legend. Xiang Yu is indeed a hero among heroes, and an animal among animals.

Xiang Yu walked past Xiao Chuan and patted Xiao Chuan on the shoulder heavily, causing Xiao Chuan's feet to go limp and almost fell down.Xiang Yu said: "Haha, Xiao Chuan, you can't even stand firmly, I think you'd better admit defeat!" "I'm also a pure man, so I have to look good no matter what!" Xiao Chuan smiled half a smile. Leaving the confused Xiang Yu behind, Xiao Chuan walked up to Xiang Liang calmly: "Master, I still need to prepare some things, please wait patiently for a while." Xiang Liangxin said, even if you eat 18 old ginseng trees, you still can't lift the cauldron that weighs several hundred catties, so I'll let you lose your heart. "Go, but hurry up and go back!".

Xiao Chuan immediately started to get busy. He first used a rope to draw the size on the side of the tripod, and then listed a few strings of mathematical formulas on the ground, and calculated them all. Then he took the ax and saw, and after chopping and beating a piece of wood, everyone A simple seesaw appeared in front of him, but it was obviously an unqualified seesaw, because one end was too long and the other was too short. Just when everyone laughed at his poor craftsmanship, Xiao Chuan saluted Xiang Liang: "Master, this disciple is about to raise the tripod!" Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, and Fan Zeng were all at a loss, Xiang Liang nodded: "Let's get started!"

Xiao Chuan hung the tripod on the shorter end of the seesaw with a rope, while he was standing on the longer end, he pressed down lightly with both hands, and the tripod slowly left the ground and hung in the air. Xiang Yu was astonished.Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng glanced at each other, both secretly startled. The onlookers were silent at first, and suddenly applauded together, praising Xiao Chuan for being smart.Xiao Chuanxin said, fortunately, I was born two thousand years later than you, and I know the famous words of Archimedes: Give me a fulcrum, and I can pry the earth up. It is obvious that Xiao Chuan has let the tripod off the ground for far longer than Xiang Yu.Xiang Yu was quite unconvinced: "Xiao Chuan, you are not holding up a big tripod, you are just opportunistic!"

Xiao Chuan was waiting to refute, Fan Zeng got up and announced: "Yu'er, there is no need to say more, the topic of this level is 'With one person's strength, the one who keeps the tripod off the ground for a long time wins', Xiao Chuan relied on his own wisdom to win, and won Of course." Xiang Yu was so angry that he pushed down the seesaw.Seeing this, Xiang Liang pulled Xiang Yu into the house. In the house, Xiang Yu was still relentless, and Xiang Liang interrupted sharply: "Man, if you win, you must also lose! A small amount is not a gentleman!" Under the blow, Xiang Yu couldn't help feeling extremely ashamed: "Uncle is very right, nephew...knows his mistake."

Xiang Liang took a breather: "Yu'er, whether you can keep Xiao Chuan or not depends on your performance in the third level. This level is different from the first two levels. If you want to defeat Xiao Chuan by any means, if you can't beat Xiao Chuan, you have to kill Xiao Chuan." He kills!" Xiang Yu turned pale with shock: "Uncle, what did you say?!" Xiang Liang's expression was grim: "I want you to remember: If a talent cannot be used by me, he must be killed by me, otherwise he will become a serious problem for you one day!" Xiang Yu shook his head, and said righteously: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely defeat Xiao Chuan, but I will never resort to any tricks. Xiao Chuan saved our uncle and nephew's life. Yu'er will only sacrifice his life to save him in this life, and will never kill him !"

After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he left without looking back, and Xiang Liang shook his head angrily.Fan Zeng walked in: "Brother Xiang, don't worry, I have a clever plan, no matter how smart Xiao Chuan is, no matter how loyal Yu'er is, they will never escape our grasp." After passing two levels in a row, Xiao Chuan was full of joy, and began to look forward to how to live his sunny days back in modern times. Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng walked out of the room, and they announced the title of the third level: horse battle.The rules are very simple, Xiang Yu and Xiao Chuan compete for immediate kung fu, whoever falls first loses.

Xiao Chuan took a deep breath. In terms of martial arts, he is far inferior to Xiang Yu, and in terms of equestrianism, he is far behind. Now there is no room for opportunism, what should we do?Alas, until now, all we have to do is fight hard! Xiang Liang nodded to Fan Zeng, Guan Xiaochuan is either defeated or dead, because he understands Xiang Yu's character, Xiang Yu would rather die than let others defeat him. Following Xiang Liang's order, Xiao Chuan and Xiang Yu started a battle.How brave Xiang Yu is, coupled with his natural supernatural power, Xiao Chuan couldn't support it after a few rounds, but he tried his best to hold on and would rather die than dismount.Xiang Yu saw the opportunity and stabbed Xiao Chuan in the shoulder with a shot. The shot seemed menacing, but its intention was not to hurt Xiao Chuan, but to force him to fall. Seeing Xiang Yu's shot at this time, Xiao Chuan couldn't dodge it anyway, since he was dead anyway, so he simply didn't dodge the shot.Seeing that the tip of the gun was about to poke Xiao Chuan, Xiang Yu was startled, and suddenly retracted the gun, but the tip of the gun still drew a deep wound on Xiao Chuan's shoulder. Xiang Yu became anxious, and shouted at Xiao Chuan: "Are you crazy!" Xiao Chuan held back the pain and replied: "A man can do something and not do something! I have made up my mind to go, I can't leave today, I will die here." Looking at him, Xiang Yu let out a long sigh, and charged towards Xiao Chuan again.Xiao Chuan's wound was bleeding profusely. He gritted his teeth and gripped the spear tightly, ready to fight to the death. Everyone present was terrified, Xiang Liang's face was serious and his fists were clenched.Fan Zeng beside him asked tentatively: "Brother Xiang, do you want to stop? If this continues, Xiao Chuan may be..." Xiang Liang fixed his eyes on Xiao Chuan and shook his head.At this moment, Xiang Liang's heart is also in a mess. To him, Xiao Chuan is not only a savior, but also his proud disciple.Once Xiao Chuan died here, it would be a sad thing for him.But in order to achieve great things, he really didn't want to see a possible powerful opponent stand in the way of revitalizing Chu. Xiang Yu charged at Xiao Chuan with a spear in his hand, and his momentum was like a storm. Seeing that Xiang Yu's spear was about to pierce Xiao Chuan's chest, Xiang Yu's mount suddenly fell to the ground, and Xiang Yu fell off his horse. Everyone was stunned on the spot, Xiao Chuan, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were all dumbfounded. No one thought that the battle would turn around in this instant. Faced with such a situation, Xiang Yu appeared extremely calm. He jumped up from the ground, cupped his hands at Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng, and said loudly, "Xiang Yu is not defeated, but this cavalry is not up to par!" Xiang Liang was stunned for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Although Yu'er is not defeated, but he has a word first, the one who falls first loses, and Xiao Chuan wins this match!" Everyone cheered, Xiaochuan finally got what he wanted, and immediately relaxed, but because of excessive blood loss from the wound, he fell off the horse and passed out. When Xiao Chuan woke up from the coma, his shoulders were covered with gauze, and Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were sitting beside his bed. Seeing Xiao Chuan wake up, Xiang Liang said with a sullen face, "Xiao Chuan, you can leave at any time." After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he turned and left.Xiao Chuan called Master a few times, but Xiang Liang ignored him and walked out of the room resolutely.Seeing Xiao Chuan's disappointed expression, Fan Zeng stroked his beard and said to Xiao Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, do you know that your master loves you very much, and he is reluctant to let you go. Although he didn't say it, he was very sad in his heart. There is one more thing , you should know that Yu'er's mount...is dead." Xiao Chuan was startled: "Dead?" "This horse's muscles and bones are all broken, so there is no reason for it not to die." Xiao Chuan was puzzled: "It was just a fall, how could the bones and muscles be broken?" Fan Zeng said with a smile: "Of course it won't happen if you fall. It was Yu'er who couldn't bear to see you die under his gun and killed his own mount. In the whole world, only Yu'er can do this." !" After hearing this, Xiao Chuan couldn't help heaving a long sigh: Whoever said Xiang Yu has no wisdom, he just doesn't bother to achieve his goal by tricks! In the blink of an eye and half a month later, Xiao Chuan has recovered.On this day, Xiao Chuan was packing his luggage and preparing to leave.Xiang Yu came in, and he sat on the side without saying a word, watching Xiao Chuan tidy up.After Xiao Chuan packed up his things, he walked out of the room without saying a word. Fan Zeng brought everyone to see Xiao Chuan off, but Xiang Liang was not there.Leaving the master like this, Xiao Chuan couldn't bear it, he bowed respectfully to Xiang Liang's house three times, and then shouted: "Master, once I leave, I don't know if I can see you again in this life, master take care! ". Xiao Chuan clasped his fists at Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu: "Old man, Brother Yu, I will send you off for thousands of miles and I will have to say goodbye at last, so let's go here." After Xiaochuan finished speaking, he jumped on his horse and left in the dust.When Xiao Chuan's figure was about to disappear, Xiang Yu suddenly jumped on his horse and chased after him. Xiaochuan heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, looked back, and saw Xiang Yu chasing him, his nose sore, and he flew off the horse.Xiang Yu also jumped off the horse.The two faced each other, neither of them spoke. A wine peddler walked past them carrying two jars of wine.Xiang Yu suddenly laughed, and said, "Brothers, how can there be no wine!" He reached out to stop the peddler, picked up a jar of wine and threw it to Xiao Chuan, and picked up a jar himself, "Drink!" The two held up the wine jars to touch each other, and each drank proudly. Xiang Yu laughed loudly: "Happy! Happy!" Xiao Chuan was also very excited and shouted: "It's so cool!" The two laughed together, Xiang Yu put the wine jar aside, and said: "It's boring to drink so dryly, why don't we become sworn brothers, even if we go to the ends of the earth, we will have a care in our hearts!" Xiao Chuan patted the wine jar: "That's it!" The two knelt down side by side, gathered earth for incense, and worshiped heaven and earth: "Heaven is above, and below Xiang Yu and Yi Xiaochuan wish to become brothers. From now on, we will be of one heart and one mind, and never betray!" The two picked up the wine jar and drank it all together, then fell to the ground hard together, and laughed together. The laughter gradually quieted down, Xiao Chuan put away his smile, and clasped his fists at Xiang Yu: "Brother Yu, I——it's time to go." "Brother, take care!" Xiang Yu suppressed Liqing forcefully, but his voice trembled, he gritted his teeth and handed over the reins. Xiao Chuan took the reins from Xiang Yu's hand: "I owe you a horse. In the future, I will definitely give you back a good horse to help you rule the world!" Xiang Yu showed a slight smile: "I'm waiting for this day!" Xiao Chuan got on the horse, and at the moment of getting on the horse, tears wet Xiao Chuan's eyes. For the first time, Xiao Chuan felt reluctance for this place in his heart.He said silently in his heart: "Brother Xiang, from today on, you will always be my good brother!" Xiaochuan is heading towards Tangwu Mountain in the north. The scenery along the way is beautiful, with completely pollution-free sky, grassland and rivers.Xiao Chuan was in a good mood, so naturally he refused to let go of such a good shooting opportunity. He walked and took pictures with his mobile phone, and couldn't help but miss his professional cameras and lenses. For such a beautiful scenery, it would be great if there was a super wide-angle lens ! While Xiao Chuan was still thinking about what aperture to use, he suddenly heard a commotion and a woman crying.Out of curiosity, he drove straight to the cry. Deep in the woods, several gangsters were surrounding two carriages, and they drove an old man and two women out of the carriage.Seeing that the two women were as beautiful as flowers and jade, all the gangsters became lustful, rubbed their hands and rushed towards the two women.The old man went up to stop him in fear, and the leader of the gangster was furious, and he raised his knife to attack the old man. Seeing that the old man was about to splatter blood on the spot, suddenly a sharp arrow flew over, and just nailed the leader's raised sleeve to the tree trunk, and the big knife in his hand was also fixed in the air. The gangsters were astonished. Looking back, they saw Xiao Chuan galloping on horseback, drawing his bow like a full moon, raising his hand and shooting another arrow, which hit the middle of the leader's crotch.The leader was so frightened that his eyes widened and he screamed, he stretched out his hand to touch his crotch, but he was only two inches away, and he was relieved. Xiao Chuan came to the side of the carriage in the blink of an eye, he flew out of the horse, kicked in the air, and kicked all the gangsters.Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the gangsters pulled out the arrow with all his strength, but unexpectedly, the arrow was inserted into the tree by a finger's depth and remained motionless.In a panic, he could only tear up his sleeves, tear off his pants, bare his shoulders, expose his PP and lead the gangsters to attack Xiaochuan. Xiao Chuan brought the sword skills taught by Xiang Liang to life, and beat the gangsters to death with only the scabbard.However, every move he made was just to the point, and he didn't want to take people's lives.The leader of the gangsters saw that the opponent in front of him was really strong. With a wave of his hand, all the thieves dispersed in an instant. Xiao Chuan waved off and shouted: "Everyone, please do something with high technical content next time! I won't send you far."
