Chapter 180 Xiao He's Story: Xiang Yu
Hearing this, Tang Yu felt that Xiang Yu's smile was just like that of the Great Elder of the Soul Palace.
Someone who keeps spouting "hehehe" doesn't look like a good person.
Xiao He, standing to the side, was speechless. He really hadn't expected that Xiang Yu would be the leader of the anti-Qin alliance.
At this moment, he made no attempt to conceal it whatsoever.
It's almost as if they've plastered a label on their faces saying, "I'm a traitor."
However, he cannot perform a reverse jump at this point.
Because he knew that the combat mission and orders that Tang Yu had given him had not yet been completed.
He needs to continue to lie low and endure.
"Wait a minute, what exactly is Young Master Xiang referring to?"
Xiao He looked at Xiang Yu with a respectful attitude and his face was quite close.
However, the fervor in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Hehe, of course, we can only talk about that after Brother Xiao He agrees to my request."
Seeing the fervor in Xiao He's eyes, Xiang Yu could no longer control his thoughts.
After all, according to Zilong, Xiao He was also not very satisfied with the rule of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to become an official instead of a mere clerk.
It was because he suffered oppression and exploitation from the tyrannical Qin dynasty when he was an official.
That's why he wanted to become a tyrannical Qin ruler to oppress and exploit others. Wouldn't such a person be a natural ally in his anti-Qin alliance?
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu looked at Xiao He again, his greed in his eyes growing even more smug.
Once desires and thoughts arise in one's heart, they become easier to control; after all, the saying "He who has no desires is invincible" is not without reason.
He then turned to Xiao He and said mysteriously:
"But before that, I'd like to know, Brother Xiao He, what is your opinion on the Great Qin?"
"Great Qin? What Great Qin?"
"It's nothing but an arrogant and oppressive Qin state that preys on its people, yet it dares to call itself the Great Qin?!"
He never hesitated to speak his mind; as expected of Xiao He, his words were always a bombshell.
This statement was incredibly vulgar, yet also quite scathing, enough to excite Xiang Yu.
He stared at Xiao He with wide eyes, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
"Brother Xiao He, what you say is quite right. I wonder if you, Brother Xiao He, truly want to serve this tyrannical Qin, or if you have ulterior motives?"
At this moment, Xiao He appropriately displayed his acting skills.
He glanced at Tang Yu with some suspicion before turning his gaze to Xiang Yu in front of him.
"What is the meaning of this question, Young Master Xiang?"
"As an official of the Qin Dynasty, I, Xiao He, naturally have to serve the Qin Dynasty."
Although his words were full of determination, there was a hint of questioning in his furtive glance at Tang Yu, and a hint of suspicion in his own eyes.
This further convinced Xiang Yu that this person was definitely like himself, harboring treacherous intentions towards the Qin Dynasty.
Otherwise, they would never have acted so furtively.
So Xiang Yu added another layer of trust to Xiao He's trust, and then decided to reveal his true intentions.
"If I were to tell my brother Xiao He!"
“I am someone who has grievances against the Qin Dynasty and is prepared to rebel against it. I wonder what choice Brother Xiao He will make.”
Tang Yu could hardly bear to watch as Xiang Yu was completely fooled by Xiao He.
This Xiang Yu was too naive and foolish; he was no match for Xiao He.
They were even sold out and then gave the seller the money.
Xiao He said seriously, "Brother Xiang Yu, isn't it inappropriate for you to say that?"
The more he spoke, the more fervent the light in his eyes became.
"Ah, I, Xiao He, am utterly loyal to the Qin Dynasty. What exactly do you mean by that?"
When he finished speaking, Xiang Yu had completely gained his trust.
After all, he was all too familiar with the other party's behavior—though they clearly disliked the Qin Dynasty, they could only say no while their actions betrayed them.
Isn't this just like him in the past?
Unable to resist the Qin Dynasty, they could only make empty threats.
But when actually asked, they can only remain silent.
It's really frustrating to even have to actively cooperate in answering questions.
"To be honest, Brother Xiao He, you don't need to pretend anymore. I am Xiang Yu, a general of the Chu Kingdom and a member of the Xiang family."
"And my life's goal is to build an anti-Qin alliance."
"To overthrow the Qin state, I wonder if Brother Xiao He has any ambition to join the anti-Qin alliance?"
"This this……"
The more Xiao He spoke, the more fervent and intense his eyes became, but his body began to retreat.
"Who exactly are the three of you?"
"Zhao Zilong, what is the meaning of bringing me here? Could it be that you are also a member of the anti-Qin alliance?"
Watching Xiao He's outstanding acting skills, Xiang Yu became increasingly satisfied.
Tang Yu felt increasingly sorry for Xiang Yu. This silly kid was already silly, and now he was being fooled by these people one after another.
When they find out the truth, I wonder if their Dao heart will collapse and they'll commit suicide before they even reach the Wujiang River.
“Brother Xiao He, what my brother Xiang said is true, and I am also a member of this anti-Qing alliance.”
"what!"
"It's so true!"
After seeing that Tang Yu had also admitted it, Xiao He looked hesitant, but finally sat down.
He raised his eyes to look at Xiang Yu, and remained silent for a long time.
Xiao He said through gritted teeth.
"I also have reservations about the Qin state. The Qin state is truly inhuman, and the Grand Preceptor Fengyun is no better."
Tang Yu slowly typed out a question mark. How did this get back to me?
So, it's like saying that if you criticize the Qin state, you're not an anti-Qin person if you don't criticize me?
At this moment, he felt extremely wronged, while Xiao He looked at Xiang Yu in front of him, took out paper and pen from the side, and took the initiative to write a letter of sincerity.
The content of this message was criticism and insults directed at the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu.
Among other things, Tang Yu was belittled to the point of being worthless. Seeing Xiao He's actions, Xiang Yu was even more satisfied.
The fact that they surrendered willingly without being told shows how deep their resentment towards the Qin state was.
After putting away his head and showing his sincerity, Xiang Yu looked at Xiao He in front of him.
Xiao He slowly began to speak.
"In that case, we're on the same side. Now I finally understand why you brought me here, Zilong."
Looking into Xiao He's eyes, Tang Yu gave a wry smile.
It was actually a smile of triumph.
He continued speaking to Xiang Yu.
"In that case, Young Master Xiang, please tell me, why have you included me in your anti-Qin alliance, and why have you brought me here today?"
"I don't believe that you, Young Master Xiang, are the kind of person who takes things easy."
Xiang Yu was extremely satisfied with the completely transformed Xiao He, after all, he was now the fourth most important figure in his anti-Qin alliance.
Both her acting skills and intelligence are top-notch.
He then calmed down and began to explain his plan.
