Chapter 28

At the West foot of Guangwu, in the camp of Chu army.

Xiang Yu's face was livid at this time. An hour ago, he received a report from soldiers in Gaocheng, saying that Yu Ji met an assassin of Han Army last night. Fortunately, there was no danger. Yu Ji and the maids around him were not hurt.

However, just as Xiang Yu was about to rush back to Gaocheng, Liu Bang on the opposite side suddenly called out. As if arranged in advance, Liu Bang, who had been silent for nearly a month, suddenly came out to fight, just as Xiang Yu was eager to return to Yu Ji.

"Asshole!" Xiang Yu said, almost gnashing his teeth, and the soldiers in front of him shivered.

Xiang Yu took a deep breath and said to the soldiers who came to report the situation of the war: "you send me the order first and tell the soldiers to be ready. I'll go right away."

Soldiers ordered out of the battalion commander, Xiang Yu will be around the people are also demobilized.

Only Xiang Yu was left in the tent, and the flickering yellow lights.

"Do you want me to guard beauty Yu?" A voice came out of nowhere and reverberated in the camp.

"Well, from today on, you will be with Yu Meiren, and you must not let her suffer any harm." Xiang Yu is calm, and he is in a very anxious mood at the moment.

"Is this Zhang Liang's trick?" The voice sounded again, but it was still unclear which direction it came from. Xiang Yu was the only one in the big account.

"Hum, if Liu Bang thinks that this can distract my attention and troops, he is wrong. I will not go anywhere. I will not go to Guangwu mountain unless I kill him." Xiang Yu's voice is gloomy.

"Well, I believe they can't help you even if they send assassins." The voice had no respect for Xiang Yu, which was quite different from the worship of Chu army.

"Well, I don't believe Zhang Liang has more powerful assassins than you, ha ha." Xiang Yu smiles, then gets up and walks out of the camp.

In Gaocheng

"Has it started yet?" Yu Ji asked eagerly. In front of her was the spy who had just returned from the front line.

"Yes, when I went out of the camp, I heard the Han soldiers begin to call for battle. It is said that the king of Han went to battle himself. It looks like there's going to be a fight. " The detective reported the truth.

"Ah, it seems that Xiang Wang will not come back to Gaocheng for the time being. Xiang Wang... " Yu Ji murmured and looked out of the window involuntarily.

Xiaolian sighed, and then sent out the spy who came to report. When she came back, she saw that Yu Ji was still sitting at the edge of the cave, looking dejected.

"Let her rest early. I haven't slept well these days. " This maid named Xiaolian usually has the best relationship with Yu Ji, especially her thin body and white skin. At first glance, she is quite similar to Yu Ji. Therefore, even Xiang Yu often jokingly said: "Xiaolian and you are sisters, right?"

At this time, concubine Yu would be in line with Xiang Yujiao and said with a smile, "yes, yes, Xiaolian is my sister." At this time, Xiaolian would wave her hand in panic and run away with a red face.

However, Xiaolian's heart is more and more like concubine Yu, as if this soft girl is her own sister. In this way, she took care of Yu Ji day by day.

At this time, the sun has set, and the yard is gray. After Xiaolian has spread the quilt for Yu Ji, she exits the house. At this time, Yu Ji is still looking at Guangwu mountain in the distance from the window.

Look at the setting sun, who will rely on the fence.

Night is tasteless, can Xiang Wang rest?

……

Yu Ji's worries lingered in the whole courtyard as if it were a light mist. Xiaolian also seems to be infected by this kind of emotion, with tears in her eyes. She quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, sighed, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"We must make her eat more and fatter tonight, so that Xiang Wang will be happy when he comes back to see her." Xiaolian thought in her heart and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Xiang Yu doesn't know how much Yu Ji misses him every day. At this time, there is only one thing in his heart, which is to find a way to kill Liu Bang. He couldn't stand this shameless and cowardly fellow any more.

Recently, the food supply in Gaocheng has become more and more tight. Many people have begun to escape from famine. Many of the soldiers have gone out to look for food, and most of them have not come back. The morale of the Chu army was getting worse day by day, and hunger and fatigue began to shake the morale of the army.

"Do all the soldiers have food to eat?" Yu Ji looked at the porridge in the bowl and asked.

"Yes, there are, but I don't have enough to eat." Xiaolian's tone is also very depressed. Recently, two maids have disappeared for no reason. It's said that they went to help find food, but they've been gone for six days, and they haven't come back yet. In this world of war, it is too difficult for a weak woman to survive.

"I'm not hungry. Share this porridge with the soldiers outside." Yu Ji pushed the bowl forward in front of her, and she was about to get up and leave.

"How can it be? Madam, you have eaten enough! " Xiaolian is anxious. She looks at Yu Ji, who is becoming thinner and thinner. Her heart is like a needle."I'm not really hungry. I want to go out for a walk." Yu Ji smiles at Xiao Lian, then walks slowly to the door.

"This, this..." Xiaolian didn't know what to do, so she had to pour the porridge back into the pot. Then she called Wu Chang and other bodyguards and told them to eat more.

"Yu Meiren said, let you have more, you can't have any left." Xiaolian says, but her eyes are floating out of the gate. Yu Ji's figure has just crossed the threshold, and she doesn't know where to go.

Outside the city, Yu Ji stood beside the gully of the moat, raised her hand in front of her forehead and looked at Guangwu mountain in the distance.

However, her face was not full of thoughts.

Suddenly, a fragrance came.

"Why? Where does the smell of meat come from? " Yu Ji was surprised. The livestock in the city had been slaughtered for a long time. The soldiers and civilians in the city had no meat to eat long ago.

Concubine Yu can't help but follow the direction of fragrance. To tell the truth, her stomach is already growling.

A thin man was sitting on the ground with a huge boar leg on the fire beside him.

The youngest of them is probably less than five years old, and the oldest is just thirteen or fourteen years old. In front of everyone, there are bowls of different sizes and styles, some of which are even broken. These children are all staring at the roast boar legs on the fire in front of them. No one realizes that Yu Ji is coming from a distance.

Yu Ji was very curious. She came near to see clearly that these children should be orphans in Gaocheng. Most of them sleep on the streets. In this age of war, people's lives are short if they are poor, and orphans don't know when they will starve to death. Even when there was food in Gaocheng, they might not be able to eat enough. Now there are so many sorrows everywhere that even the soldiers can't eat enough, let alone the orphans?

For no reason, Yu Ji felt sad. She did not approach, but stopped at a distance of more than ten meters. She stopped and put her hands on her knees. At this time, she did not want to disturb the group of children's rare lunch.

"I was hungry before I knew it." Concubine Yu touched her abdomen subconsciously, with a bitter smile on her face.

Yu Ji raised her head and saw that the man who had roasted the meat before was picking the roasted meat from the wild boar's leg with a knife, and then distributing it to the children around. Yu Ji could almost hear the voice of swallowing saliva from the throat of these orphans.

"My God, if you don't leave, you will be greedy to death." Yu Ji subconsciously licks her lips with her tongue.

Just when she wanted to turn around and leave, suddenly there was a cry in the distance. On the other side of the fire, a group of people came in the opposite direction of Yu Ji.

They were dressed up as refugees. They didn't know where they came from. They were led by a strong black man. They came straight at the barbecue man and a group of children.

Yu Ji had a bad feeling. She stood up and wanted to see more clearly.

At this time, this group of refugees has come to the barbecue men and children, there are about a dozen people, their eyes all show the eyes of hungry wolves.

Obviously, they also smell the meat, and there is no doubt that these people are here to grab food.

"Leave the meat in the bowl, and get out of here!" The head of the man said maliciously.

The youngest child cried out. It is reasonable that these orphans should run away at this time. However, they have been hungry for a long time. Some children have not eaten meat for several years. Although they are shivering, none of them is willing to leave.

"I'm tired of living, aren't I?" The leader of the exile man "miso" out of his arms with a pig knife, fiercely rushed up.

Yu Ji's eyes are not good. She just wanted to stop it, but she saw an amazing scene.

The big man with the pig killing knife suddenly fell to the right side with a dull sound, and the big man fell to the ground heavily. The butcher's knife was out of hand, and the man's neck was strangely twisted, and his pupils were gradually dispersing.

These refugees all stepped back two steps. None of them could see what was going on just now, but they all knew that it must be the thin man in front of them.

The barbecue man stood there in silence, his eyes calmly watching the dozen refugees in front of him. The children behind him are wide eyed, don't know what happened, curiously looking at the ferocious man and the mysterious barbecue man.

"We are Chu soldiers led by Xiang Wang. How dare you hurt our commander? Are you not afraid that King Xiang will behead you? " One of the old refugees said, it's a pity that he looks like a rat with a thief's face, which makes him appear to have no confidence in speaking.

"I didn't hurt him. He's dead." The barbecue man said calmly, as relaxed as saying he didn't tie his shoelaces today.

"What? He's dead? You killed him! " Cried the refugees, incredulously.

When they learned that the leader had been killed, a group of people left in disorder.

At this time, Yu Ji suddenly came near."Bold thief, how dare you pretend to be Chu army? The patrol team will arrive soon. Your life will not be long." Yu Ji said with a gloomy face, but even though she was so angry, she looked very lovely.

Naturally, these refugees were not the Chu army. When they heard that the patrol team of Chu army had arrived, they were scared to disperse. They didn't even think whether what the girl said was true or false.

Looking at the refugees, Yu Ji could not help but chuckle. She suddenly remembered the surprise she had just seen and turned to face the barbecue man.

"Little girl Yu, dare to ask the name of the strong man." Yu Ji salutes the barbecue man.

The barbecue man also bowed to salute, with a smile on his face, and said, "the villain flies in the water. I've seen beauty Yu."
