The boat sailed leisurely on the surging Huai River.
The cold wind was bone-piercing. Under the guidance of the maid, Xiang Yu washed the mud and changed into a clean green robe.
His bearing changed, like a fairy flying in the wind, making one's heart flutter.
The corners of Xiang Yu's mouth curled up and he smiled from the bottom of his heart. He had already died once, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
In a chaotic world, if one could not shine, one would die a satisfying death without regrets.
He walked out of the cabin with a faint healing smile on his lips. He was like a noble young master who was studying abroad. His upbringing was engraved in his bones and he was not crushed by hunger and cold.
Xiang Yu saw the girl playing with water with her legs dangling. She was carefree and happy, and her bright eyes were shining.
Her jade-like feet tapped lightly, causing Xiang Yu's eyes to be filled with light and fire.
The moment their eyes met, the fire that spilled out could start a prairie fire.
She was too young, even a few years younger than Xiang Yu. Her beauty was natural, and she was a femme fatale.
"I am Xiang Yu. Thank you for saving my life.”
Xiang Yu cupped his hands and bowed. He was handsome, like a banished immortal from the heavens.
"Aiyo, Ah Lang is quite handsome. Why are you seeking death?”
Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips lightly. Thousands of rays of light gathered and transformed into a beautiful smile.
"I am not a suicidal person, but because my father and mother died, I was too sad and accidentally fell into the water.”
Xiangyu explained seriously, her eyes avoiding Sun Shangxiang's bold scrutiny. There was a faint melancholy in her sincere eyes, adding a sense of mystery.
"May I know your name?"
"Sun."
"So it's Miss Sun. I have no way to repay the kindness of saving my life.”
"Hmm? I didn't expect you to have a country in your heart, just like my father and brother.”
"I dare not forget my country."
"Good ambition. Unfortunately, this lady doesn't accept men, but Eldest Brother is recruiting refugees. You can go and try.”
As soon as Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, she heard a clear call.
"Little sister, how can you take in a man of unknown origin? If word gets out, what will happen to your reputation?”
The person who spoke was free and easy, polite, and his speech and behavior revealed the elegance of a scholar.
"Second Brother, it's not like you don't know that I want to marry a man who is as indomitable as my father. Why would such a tall and imposing man blame Qingyu for saving someone?”
Sun Shangxiang's beautiful figure moved slightly, her tone was coquettish and filled with a bit of anger.
Sun Quan's anger rose, and his handsome face was about to collapse. His gaze suddenly landed on Xiang Yu.
The appearance of dragon and phoenix is the symbol of the sun.
He had never seen someone with such an extraordinary bearing. His calm and composed brows almost made people fall for him.
"I am Sun Quan, also known as Zhongmou. May I ask your name?”
Sun Quan's gaze was filled with vigilance and wariness, as if he was facing a great enemy.
He wanted to use all his knowledge to resist the sudden recognition. This was a sense of crisis that was carved into his bones.
"Xiang Yu, also known as Lin Yuan, is a native of Chenliu, Yanzhou. He followed Master to cultivate in the mountains since he was young. The former teacher died of illness and went down the mountain to look for his parents. Unfortunately, he encountered a war disaster and famine. On the way to escape, his parents died. He was so sad that he fell into the water and was saved by Miss Sun.”
Xiang Yu made up his story half-truthfully. Fortunately, the scorching sun did not leave too many marks on his body and was easily covered up.
He knew that his chance to ascend to glory had come. If he couldn't grasp it, the heavens would punish him.
He didn't want to be well-fed and well-known among the vassals. At the very least, he would be able to get a civilian position and not have to starve and freeze.
"What a pitiful person. Are you really cultivating in the mountains?”
Sun Shangxiang leaned against the side of the ship and lowered her head. She looked at Xiang Yu again, her face full of heroic spirit.
The cold wind by the river rustled, but it could not take away the warmth of the human world.
"Living in the mountains doesn't count the years. Looking at the clouds is an immortal.”Xiangyu said leisurely.
Sun Shangxiang repeated the words in a low voice. It was as if a misty Nanshan Mountain had appeared in front of her eyes. The artistic conception was quite profound.
A bright smile appeared on her lips, and her heart was jumping for joy.
"So it's Brother Xiang. I wonder what plans you have next?”Sun Quan's expression turned solemn as he immediately interrupted the duo's interaction.
"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Since Miss Sun's elder brother is recruiting refugees, I'll go and give it a try.”Xiangyu cupped his hands.
"Brother Xiang wants to join the army?" Sun Quan said in shock, but he soon regained his cool and indifferent expression.
"Of course, Sun Bofu is unhindered in Jianghuai, it is impossible for him to be depressed.”
Boom!
Sun Quan's mind shook, and he shouted,""Shut up! My eldest brother is loyal to Deacon Yuan. Don't spout nonsense.”
"Heh."
Xiangyu took a deep breath, his expression dark.""Yuan Gonglu is a fish in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. Why don't you call on the old subordinates of Marquis Wucheng to plot Jiangdong?”
Sun Quan's entire body trembled as he ordered the servants to chase Xiang Yu off the ship.
The wind blew in the river, and the flags of the Sun family fluttered in the wind.
Sun Shangxiang looked at Xiangyu's fleeing appearance and giggled. This person was too interesting.
This encounter is the biggest cheat. The early stages of the growth story are very difficult. I hope to get everyone's support.
