Chapter 169 Contractor
Just thinking about it made Xiao He feel sweating profusely.
If I were a rebel, or even someone who would overthrow the Qin Dynasty in the future...
As a result, he even sat at the same table as Qin Shi Huang, drinking and eating, and Qin Shi Huang even helped him find a job.
After a moment's thought, Xiao He felt he was about to lose his composure.
However, seeing his friend Liu Bang enjoying himself so much, Xiao He really didn't know how to persuade his foolish friend.
He could only shake his head and let Liu Bang go.
He realized that although Tang Yu had some ulterior motives towards Lü Zhi, he might have some issues with Liu Bang.
However, neither of them had any intention to kill Liu Bang, nor did they have any other opinion about him.
Otherwise, even if Tang Yu didn't take action, based solely on Xiao He's understanding of Ying Zheng, even from snippets of conversation with others, he could tell that Ying Zheng was definitely not a kind-hearted person.
If he really wanted to kill Liu Bang, Liu Bang's grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.
After thinking about it, Xiao He remained silent and let the matter rest.
As for Liu Bang's life or death, Xiao He had no say in it.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
After Liu Bang left the room, Lü Zhi sat at the table, her eyes filled with an unusually complex expression, as if she were deep in thought.
She could actually tell that Tang Yu was deliberately trying to get Liu Bang away so that he wouldn't touch her.
After thinking about it for a moment, Lü Zhi became extremely excited.
She knew that she had entered Tang Yu's heart, and that this was not limited to the physical realm.
If Tang Yu's relationship with her was merely physical, then whether Liu Bang touched her or not would have no impact on Tang Yu.
But now, for the sake of Lü Zhi, Tang Yu has actually started arranging things for Liu Bang.
However, when she thought about her age and the fact that she was already someone else's wife, Lü Zhi sighed.
The people of Qin were extremely fierce, and also advanced and open-minded.
It doesn't say that women can't get divorced, or that a woman's life is only meaningful if she gets married.
But ever since Lü Zhi learned that she was ten years older than Tang Yu, she was on the verge of a breakdown.
You know, at my age, even unmarried women wouldn't be wanted by anyone.
Moreover, how could a woman like herself, who was already married, be worthy of Tang Yu?
She felt a touch of joy, but more than that, she felt anxious and inferior.
She felt she wasn't good enough for Tang Yu.
She didn't feel that she couldn't be Tang Yu's wife.
She knew from the beginning about the gap between her and Tang Yu's social status.
It was destined that she and Tang Yu could never be a legitimate couple from a prestigious family.
After all, what kind of family do they belong to, and what kind of family do I belong to?
Moreover, besides their family backgrounds, the age difference between the two sides and their inherent differences meant that they could never be equal.
But she was still worried about Tang Yu.
For nobles of their status, keeping wives and concubines and pampering their wives was perfectly normal.
She was already content to be Tang Yu's concubine.
However, she was somewhat worried that once Tang Yu got tired of her, he might use her to entertain others, which was something Lü Zhi could not accept.
Even though she liked Tang Yu, she also had her own bottom line.
Seeing Lü Zhi's worried expression, Xiao He could no longer hold back.
He could tell that Lü Zhi's worries were not because of being separated from Liu Bang, but simply because of Tang Yu.
At this moment, Xiao He realized that even if Tang Yu was not around, his dear sister-in-law Lü Zhi would not be coming back.
"Brother Zilong, I wonder if you're planning to assign me such a position. I'd like to know if I'm up to the task."
Looking at the worried old rogue Liu Bang in front of him, Tang Yu said somewhat easily.
"Don't worry, Brother Liu Bang."
"You are not only capable of the position assigned to you, but it can even be said that this position was created for you."
"In the whole world, the only person who is worthy of this position is Brother Liu Bang."
"Such a position exists?"
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Liu Bang was immediately taken aback.
"I never imagined there was such a position. In the whole world, only I am worthy of it."
Yes, what Tang Yu arranged for Liu Bang at this moment was a position similar to a mini-Emperor Gaozu of Han.
This position allows him to fully utilize all his talents.
In this way, it can be considered that resources are being used to their fullest potential.
Similarly, it would allow Tang Yu to catch a glimpse of the magnificence of Emperor Gaozu of Han.
"This, Brother Zilong, how come it's so far?"
On Tang Yu's carriage, Liu Bang looked at Xianyang City, which was getting further and further away, with a puzzled expression.
Tang Yu smiled at him, signaling him to relax, and then said to him.
"Brother Liu Bang, as you should know, Xianyang is a city with extremely clean and honest government, making it very difficult to pull strings."
"Similarly, what I want to tell Brother Liu Bang is that it is not important what position a person is in, but what he can do in each position."
"Brother Liu Bang, I believe your talent lies in the position I've found for you."
"Only in your position can you play your greatest role and demonstrate your full capabilities."
As Tang Yu spoke, the carriage drove towards the outskirts of Xianyang City.
A long time passed before Liu Bang finally arrived at a site where cement was being laid.
At this moment, he spotted Ying Zheng, who was two heads taller than the others, from afar in the crowd.
He immediately spoke to Tang Yu.
“Brother Zilong, your uncle is here too.”
Tang Yu nodded.
Yes, today's scene was something he and Ying Zheng had planned together.
Similarly, after Ying Zheng learned that Tang Yu's purpose was to lure Liu Bang away from Xianyang.
He couldn't hold back any longer and cast a disdainful look at Tang Yu.
Tang Yu then made some demands of himself to Ying Zheng.
However, Ying Zheng readily agreed to these requests.
"Liu Bang met Uncle Zhao."
Although Liu Bang was not much younger than Ying Zheng, he and Tang Yu were, after all, equals.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to call Ying Zheng "uncle".
At this moment, he looked around at the other workers laying cement on the road, as well as various people from the Qin state.
And the Qin soldiers in the distance, who were responsible for guarding and supervising, looked somewhat puzzled.
He really didn't know why his sworn brother Zilong had brought him here.
Could it be that the job I found for myself is to lay cement roads?
But the next moment, Tang Yu looked at him intently and spoke earnestly.
"Brother Liu Bang, the job I've found for you is to manage the entire team responsible for laying a section of cement road."
Tang Yu's words sounded sophisticated, but in reality, he was just a construction foreman.
