Chapter 1167

After Xiang Yu left, all the literati continued to talk freely, while Master Zhuge Liang continued to select suitable people and send out his small cards.

Finally, it was night before this banquet ended, and countless people still looked like they hadn't had enough.

The reason was none other than that apart from that Xunzi who had long since disappeared, Zhang Liang and Master Zhuge Liang were the most knowledgeable in the field.

Once Zhang Liang opened his mouth, basically they were all listening and learning; where was there any phenomenon of "literati having no first place"?

However, Master Zhuge Liang was not disappointed. With this one, he had taken a fancy to nearly a hundred people, all of whom could be officials.

Qin Mu was very willing to believe in Master Zhuge Liang's ability to judge people, and those people went back and looked at the cards in their hands again and again.

They felt it was very novel, but they didn't know how that so-called lord of Bashu was, and whether they would be implicated by the tyrannical Qin if they went there.

Lin Ji was originally a person with some knowledge; he had read quite a few books, and his own ability was not bad either.

It's a pity that Great Qin didn't have an imperial examination system, so he could only be a man of talent who didn't meet his match, and he couldn't find any wise master.

According to the original trajectory, he would eventually become a low-level clerk for Liu Bang, living a mediocre life.

However, today he attended Zhang Liang's banquet, and he got this card, which said that as long as he went to Bashu, all his talents would be put to good use.

Bashu only looked at strength and not status; didn't this just suit a commoner like him?

Lin Ji didn't think much at all; he was prepared to set off tonight.

However, a scholar next door heard the movement at night and thought it was some thief.

He went out to take a look, and Lin Ji was carrying large and small bags, preparing to leave!

He knew that Lin Ji had long been left alone, with no family, so it was impossible for him to go back so urgently.

He hurriedly chased after him to ask: "Brother Lin, what are you doing? Could it be that there are thieves coming?"

Facing the fellow villager who also came over, Lin Ji couldn't hide it.

"To tell you the truth, I want to go to Bashu to see that wise master. How about you, brother?"

Lin Ji's words clearly stunned him. What Bashu, what wise master?

Why didn't he know at all? Lin Ji saw the other party's appearance and immediately knew that the other party didn't seem to have that small card!

"Brother Su, this was given to me by someone. His literary talent is very powerful, I'm afraid it's no less than that Mr. Zhang Liang!" Lin Ji took the card out of his sleeve and handed it to Brother Su.

That Brother Su took the card and looked at it, and immediately felt that the person who wrote the card was very powerful; at least he couldn't say such flowery words that also made people feel it made sense.

That Brother Su also decided to follow and take a look.

"Lin Ji, is the person you mentioned named Master Zhuge Liang?" At this moment, another scholar heard the sound outside. He opened the door and walked out to ask.

He saw that he was disheveled, had no image at all, and even his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he didn't know what he had experienced.

"It's you!" Lin Ji was clearly very surprised. Why would such a person appear here?

"Quickly show me the card. That person is named Master Zhuge Liang, right! I've figured out his problem!"

That person seemed to have gone crazy, scaring Brother Su into throwing the card over directly.

That person took the card excitedly, looked at it again and again, and finally decided to follow everyone to Bashu!

To be able to serve such a person as lord, then this person must be very capable!

"You aren't going to follow us, are you?" Brother Su asked somewhat tremblingly...

"Why not?"

"Since Brother Shuban also wants to go, then let's go together. But if the other party doesn't welcome us, don't blame me. After all, they only gave the card to me." Lin Ji said complacently.

At this moment, in the entire Yingdu, countless inns were all having similar things happen.

Whether they were men of talent who didn't meet their match, or people who really had strength, they were all heading to one place overnight, and that was Bashu!

As for not being allowed to go out at night, not being allowed to travel?

Just kidding, they were scholars, and there were so many of them; even if it was the middle of the night, this city lord still had to open the gates for them!

Of course, quite a few people noticed such a big movement.

On the high platform, Xiang Yu looked tearfully at the scholars who were constantly leaving, and his heart was bleeding.

These were all his, all his talents! Now he didn't know where they had run off to!

However, at this moment, Fan Zeng brought him even worse news: these people were all heading to Bashu!

This made Xiang Yu so angry that he wanted to kill them all right now!

"Someone, prepare the horses! Today I am going to kill all these people who eat inside and out!" Xiang Yu was furious and said directly, waving his Overlord Spear.

At this moment, Fan Zeng was so scared that he knelt down and said: "Young Master, absolutely not! If you want to kill them, please kill me first!"

"Mr. Fan, you get up first. Why not!" The angry Xiang Yu almost used his spear to cut off Fan Zeng's head.

However, in the end, reason overcame impulse.

"If the Young Master kills them, wouldn't that be the same as the tyrannical Qin?" Fan Zeng paused and then continued to say with a pained heart.

"The tyrannical Qin burned books and buried scholars, and the Young Master is slaughtering on a large scale; this will lose the hearts of the people!"

After Fan Zeng finished speaking, Xiang Yu thought about it calmly and it seemed to make some sense.

"Especially since quite a few scholars are from Yingdu, they are our people of Great Chu. If we lose the hearts of the people, it will be difficult to rebel against Qin!"

After Fan Zeng finished speaking, Xiang Yu calmed down and thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense.

In order to resist the tyrannical Qin, he, Xiang Yu, endured it!

Looking at the scholars who were constantly leaving, Xiang Yu could only look away to avoid the sight, but the crystal clear tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't deceive Fan Zeng.

"I didn't expect this Young Master to still be someone who knows how to cherish talent!" Fan Zeng sighed in his heart.
