Chapter 1088: Enemies Meet

~5 min read 995 words

Because of Yushu, Yi Yi Xiaochuan regained some fighting spirit.

Of course, the reason for regaining fighting spirit, besides wanting to rescue Yushu from the palace, was another reason: the existence of Su Xuan made Yi Yi Xiaochuan see the terror of power.

Su Xuan basically didn't have many actions, just a few words, which made him feel heavy pressure, and even killed his teacher and sworn brother.

Not to mention revenge, just to ensure his own fate was no longer controlled by others, Yi Yi Xiaochuan had to master power.

Although Su Xuan was a person valued by His Majesty the Emperor,

Young Master Fu Su was not an ordinary person either. He was the eldest son of the Qin Guo and the son of Seeing Ying Zheng. In terms of family relationship, Fu Su was clearly closer. If he could gain Fu Su's trust, even if that person was the State Preceptor of the Qin Guo and a person favored by Seeing Ying Zheng, he couldn't do anything to him.

Although Yi Yi Xiaochuan drank a lot of wine, Meng Tian's words indeed let him see an opportunity to break the situation.

He thought of what Sanbao said earlier and hurriedly said to Sanbao: "Sanbao, tell me quickly, what is the Hall of Gathering Virtuous about?"

Sanbao immediately recounted what he heard about the Hall of Gathering Virtuous.

"I didn't expect Yi Yi Xiaochuan to join the Hall of Gathering Virtuous."

In the palace, Su Xuan didn't have things like mobile phones, but with the power of the Primordial Spirit entrusted to Yi Yi Xiaochuan, he still knew everything about Yi Yi Xiaochuan's affairs.

In the original story, ever since he cured Yushu, Yi Yi Xiaochuan had been depressed because of parting with Yushu and bought wine to get drunk all day. Finally, it was Hearing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu who came to Xianyang and persuaded him, and he chose to join the Hall of Gathering Virtuous.

I didn't expect that even without Hearing Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, someone would still appear before him and persuade him.

This person became Meng Tian.

This change made Su Xuan think of some things that happened in the previous world.

In the dark, there seems to be a will of heaven. The will of heaven lets many things develop according to the established trajectory. You think you are changing fate, but you don't know that the changes you make are essentially part of what is destined.

Of course, if the power is sufficient, many things can still be rewritten.

Only because the will of heaven is ruthless and has no consciousness of its own.

And when facing the changed trajectory, the only thing it can do is to let the remaining things develop according to the original trajectory as much as possible. This is the correction ability of history.

After his strength became more and more powerful, Su Xuan's understanding of these things became deeper and deeper.

However, compared to Yi Yi Xiaochuan joining the Hall of Gathering Virtuous, Su Xuan was more concerned about another person.

Liu Bang.

He also appeared in Xianyang just like in the original story and also joined the Hall of Gathering Virtuous.

Liu Bang coming to Xianyang was not a strange thing.

On the day he finished his corvée labor, he returned to Peixian. Lu Gong and Lu Zhi asked Liu Bang about Lu Su's whereabouts. To cut off Lu Zhi's thoughts about Yi Yi Xiaochuan, Liu Bang deceived them by saying that Lu Su and Yi Xiaochuan had already become husband and wife in Xianyang City and had settled down.

When Lu Zhi heard that Yi Yi Xiaochuan had married Lu Su, she was sad and jealous, but she was still unwilling to accept her fate. After thinking about it, she used marrying Liu Bang as an inducement to force Liu Bang to take Lu Gong and her to Xianyang, wanting to see Yi Yi Xiaochuan and Lu Su living together with her own eyes.

After arriving in Xianyang City, Lu Zhi forced him to seek fame on the grounds that Liu Bang had no official position. Liu Bang had no choice but to come to this Hall of Gathering Virtuous.

If it followed the original trajectory, after Yi Yi Xiaochuan learned that Gao Yao was preparing to harm Liu Bang, he would persuade Liu Bang to leave Xianyang. In the end, Liu Bang fled back to Peixian, married Lu Zhi who had completely given up, and then rose up against the trend because of various reasons, from a rogue to the famous Emperor Gaozu of Han.

But that was the original story.

Now that Liu Bang has come to Xianyang, it gave Su Xuan a new idea.

Perhaps he could use Liu Bang as an opportunity to continue torturing Yi Yi Xiaochuan.

However, before that, he was still prepared to tell Gao Yao about this.

Soon, Su Xuan found Gao Yao.

At this moment, Gao Yao was in his prime. Not only because he became the Chief of the Imperial Kitchen and had great power in the palace kitchen, but also because His Majesty the Emperor granted him a marriage. Although his wife was a palace maid, if traced back to the Six States period, she was a noblewoman of Chu. Starting a family and establishing a career—these two major life events were all completed by him. Even because he married Yu Lan, he also got a younger sister, and the younger sister looked exactly the same as his younger sister in his previous life.

Of course, it couldn't be said that there were no regrets at all.

Gao Yao always remembered his encounter in the labor camp. If it weren't for Mr. Su's rescue, he didn't know how much torture he would have suffered.

Even so, Gao Yao had always hated the culprit who sent him to the labor camp, Liu Bang, to the bone.
