Chapter 148 Heading to Xianyang
"Xiao He, you're leaving so soon. You're going to Xianyang to take up your post. I really envy you."
"Yeah, if you become successful in the future, don't forget your good brothers!"
"And Liu Bang, I never expected you to be going to Xianyang too."
At this moment, Xiao He, Liu Bang, Lü Zhi, and Tang Yu were being respectfully seen off by a group of people outside the gates of Xianyang City.
After all, Tang Yu had already gained a certain reputation in this small county of Pei.
This Liu Bang was the leader of this group of spirited young men.
Xiao He is currently an official, and many people want to get close to him.
Most importantly, they were from the same hometown, and such farewells were quite normal for Lü Zhi in ancient times.
What's even more important this time is that Tang Yu not only took Xiao He, Liu Bang, and Lü Zhi with him, but he even took Fan Kuai with him.
Although Fan Kuai was just a pig butcher, he was still considered a great general in history.
Either let him join the Qin army, or let him obediently sell pork in Xianyang.
In any case, monitor them as much as possible.
For some reason, Tang Yu seemed to have transformed into an extreme security enthusiast who would worry about even the slightest disturbance.
At this moment, Tang Yu's Black Ice Platform had prepared several carriages, all of which had arrived.
These carriages were all pulled by two horses, and their interiors were exquisitely decorated.
He looks like he's worth a lot of money.
Similarly, the horses pulling the cart were uninjured warhorses that had previously retreated from the battlefield.
Tang Yu's background clearly indicates that he is either very wealthy or of high social standing.
When the people of Pei County saw the carriage arrive, they stared wide-eyed at Tang Yu.
They then discovered that Tang Yu, who had been living in Pei County all along, was the real, unassuming big shot.
They had only heard that Tang Yu was a minor nobleman in Xianyang City, but they never imagined that Tang Yu's wealth was so extraordinary.
After all, in addition to a certain level of wealth, riding in such a carriage was a symbol of status.
If the carriage you are riding in is not the kind that is appropriate for your rank, you will not only lose face, but you will also face extremely severe punishment.
"Young Master Zhao, we can prepare to head home now."
The secret guards of the Black Ice Platform transformed into horse drivers and came before Tang Yu.
After watching everyone say goodbye once again, Tang Yu led Liu Bang and the others onto the carriage.
Liu Bang's eyes also showed a hint of melancholy this time.
"I never expected that your family background, Brother Zilong, would be so extraordinary and prosperous. I underestimated you before!"
Seeing the envy in Liu Bang's eyes, Tang Yu shook his head.
"Brother Liu Bang, what are you saying? Since we are brothers, I'm sure you can achieve the same level in the future."
Listening to Tang Yu encouraging him, Liu Bang nodded.
He then proceeded with Lü Zhi to one of the carriages, as they were husband and wife, and it was only natural that they would ride in the same carriage.
To his surprise, after he got into the carriage, before Lü Zhi could even approach, Tang Yu took the initiative to get into his carriage.
"The time we're about to head to Xianyang is just right, so I can tell Brother Liu Bang about the rules and precautions there."
"And what about your future plans, Brother Liu Bang? Why don't we sit down and have a long talk on this road?"
To be honest, Tang Yu did this partly to give Liu Bang some pointers.
On the other hand, it was to prevent Liu Bang and Lü Zhi from having any opportunities to meet alone.
After all, Lü Zhi has already had a relationship with Tang Yu, so Liu Bang is someone she shouldn't touch under any circumstances.
Although she is still Liu Bang's wife.
But I'm sorry, Liu Bang's wife is mine now.
As for whether Liu Bang would find out later, and what he would think if he did, that was not Tang Yu's concern.
However, if Liu Bang still has a relationship with Lü Zhi afterward, Tang Yu will not accept it.
After all, even though Tang Yu himself is a womanizer, he still has some basic principles.
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Liu Bang's face lit up with joy, and he took the initiative to speak to Tang Yu.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Zilong."
Tang Yu also got into the carriage with a smile, and then he gave Lü Zhi a look. Lü Zhi understood and got into another carriage.
Fan Kuai and Xiao He boarded a carriage together.
At this moment, Xiao He looked at his good brother Liu Bang with a strange gaze.
He realized that now it wasn't just a case of unrequited love.
Even the flowing water now seems to have a purpose.
Considering the vast differences in status, appearance, and strength between Liu Bang and Tang Yu.
No matter how Xiao He compared them, even using the so-called Lei's comparison method, he still found that Liu Bang was completely defeated.
At that moment, he silently mourned for his good brother for three seconds, after all, his wife was about to die.
Now, Tang Yu and Liu Bang are sitting in the same car.
Empress Lü rode alone in a carriage.
As Xiao He and Fan Kuai sat in the carriage, Tang Yu looked at Liu Bang in front of him and pondered.
Since Sou has already taken his wife, he can just find him another wife after they return to Xianyang.
After thinking it over, Tang Yu felt no guilt towards Liu Bang.
After all, the wife he wanted to find for Liu Bang would definitely be younger than Lü Zhi.
As for appearance, anything that Tang Yu could see could not possibly be ugly.
No matter how you look at it, it was Liu Bang who made the money!
I'm such a kind person.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction, while Liu Bang, who was standing in front of him, said...
"Brother Zilong, I wonder how we should proceed after we arrive in Xianyang?"
Looking at Liu Bang, who was humbly seeking advice, Tang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Liu Bang, what exactly are your ambitions...?"
"Is it for business purposes, or do you want to become an official, or do you have other ideas?"
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Liu Bang fell into deep thought.
He had only thought about making a name for himself, but he didn't really have a judgment or understanding of how to make a name for himself or which path to take.
Now, after Tang Yu's prompting, he fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Tang Yu, his tone full of determination.
"As the saying goes, 'city, agriculture, industry, commerce, and commerce,' although becoming a great merchant can enjoy many things, such as this carriage, no matter how great a merchant you are, you are not qualified to ride in it."
"So, my virtuous brother Zilong, I want to become an official, a high-ranking official."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu sighed. It seemed that this was indeed Liu Bang. So he raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on Liu Bang.
"In that case, if Brother Liu Bang wants to become an official, then I have a way to help you."
