At this moment, looking at Xiang Zhuang, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel the absurdity of the change in the world line.

How did Xiang Zhuang become a woman?

Wait, could it be that just like the Koihime Musou game I played in my previous life, those famous generals will all become women in the future?

For example, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Cao Cao... I wonder if Cao Cao will turn into a golden-haired loli with double diamond heads this time?

As for Diao Chan...

Thinking of that muscular figure covered in black, Fang Zheng shuddered all over.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it.

"Ah, Mr. Fang hasn't seen it yet."

Seeing Fang Zheng in a daze, Xiang Yu hurriedly introduced them.

"This is my sister Xiaoying. We are sworn brothers and sisters. I later named her Xiangzhuang."

"Oh, I see..."

After hearing Xiang Yu's explanation, Fang Zheng understood a little. He originally thought that Xiang Zhuang might be the daughter of someone from Xiang Shaolong's family, but now it seems that they are just sworn brothers and sisters. However, in this era, there are many sworn brothers, but sworn brothers and sisters are rare. There must be a lot of trouble in this - but Fang Zheng is not stupid enough to ask.

Then Xiang Zhuang bowed to everyone and began to perform a sword dance.

In the original story, someone should come out to stop Xiang Zhuang from assassinating Liu Bang under the pretext of dancing. But in reality, this is not the case. Fang Zheng just held the wine glass and smiled at the dancing girl in front of him. He could feel that Xiang Zhuang was indeed targeting him and wanted to kill him, but Fang Zheng didn't care.

If you have the guts, just do it.

The question is, can you?

Yes, this is indeed a problem for Xiang Zhuang.

Just like in history, Xiang Zhuang was indeed sent in by Fan Zeng to assassinate Fang Zheng, and she was determined to kill him. But when Xiang Zhuang started dancing as planned, she was surprised to find that... the other party had no flaws at all!

That's right, no matter what sword technique she used, she couldn't seem to find the slightest flaw in the opponent. Not only that, every time Xiang Zhuang wanted to take action, her body seemed to be out of control, and she was not willing to follow Xiang Zhuang's thoughts. This made Xiang Zhuang anxious and angry, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to dance with the sword, trying to seize the opportunity to kill the opponent.

Fang Zheng saw this scene, and so did Xiang Yu, who could not help but sigh secretly. He had heard a lot about Fang Zheng from Xiang Shaolong, including the story of Fang Zheng breaking through the Jixia Academy with one sword. At that time, the top swordsmen of the six countries could not even draw their swords in front of Fang Zheng. Now Xiang Zhuang wanted to attack Fang Zheng, but it was like a rat trying to pull a turtle.

Of course, Xiang Yu didn't know that the reason why Xiang Shaolong said this to him was actually because he hoped that he could be as free and unrestrained as Fang Zheng. Xiang Shaolong envied Fang Zheng for this at first, but he had the Wu family and many beautiful wives and relatives at that time, so he couldn't be free and easy. So Xiang Shaolong hoped that his son would not follow the old path of history, but act freely like Fang Zheng.

It's a pity that his weak resistance was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the wheel of history.

Xiang Yu had no way of saying anything about this. Seeing that Fang Zheng didn't look angry at all, but was staring at Xiang Zhuang as if he was enjoying a good show, he just watched and continued to drink and eat meat.

Xiang Yu remained silent, but Xiang Zhuang was extremely depressed. Since she could be Xiang Yu's adopted sister, she must be very skilled, otherwise Fan Zeng would not have asked her to come in and stab with a sword. However, because of Xiang Zhuang's high martial arts skills, she became more aware of the extraordinary young man named Fang Zheng in front of her. At first glance, he acted naturally and seemed to have no intention of guarding against her, but he did not leave any flaws, so she could not attack at all.

This feeling made Xiang Zhuang so depressed that she almost vomited blood. In the end, she exhausted all her energy and could not find any flaws. She had no choice but to finish the last sword dance and then stopped panting.

"Miss Xiang's sword dance is very beautiful. I admire it very much. As long as she practices, I believe that Miss Xiang will become a top-notch master."

But at this moment, Fang Zheng raised his glass with a smile and made a false toast to Xiang Zhuang. The girl was so angry that she gritted her teeth but could not do anything about him. She had no choice but to return the greeting with a fist.

"Then Xiang Zhuang will withdraw."

After saying this, Xiang Zhuang turned around and left the tent. Outside the tent, Fan Zeng was waiting there with a frown on his face. He watched Xiang Zhuang leave the camp and hurriedly walked up to him and whispered.

"Why not kill this official?"

"It's easy for you to say, but is that person so easy to kill?!"

Hearing Fan Zeng's complaint, Xiang Zhuang glared at him unceremoniously. She had never liked Fan Zeng. He was just Xiang Yu's counselor, but Xiang Yu respected his wisdom and called him "Uncle". As a result, Fan Zeng took advantage of her and really regarded himself as Xiang Yu's father. He even treated her like a father directing his daughter... However, to Xiang Zhuang, who do you think you are!

"I was looking for his weakness when I attacked just now, but I couldn't find it. Until the end, there was not even the slightest chance! What can I do?!"

Seeing Fan Zeng's expression, Xiang Zhuang was also unhappy. This was a kind of induction between top warriors. Fan Zeng was just a counselor. He never went to war, let alone wielding a sword or a gun. Of course, he didn't know anything about this. At this moment, listening to Fan Zeng's words, an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face. After all, what Xiang Zhuang said was too exaggerated.

"Fang Zheng is just a mortal. What's so special about him? Even if he has extraordinary powers, I have deployed hundreds of swordsmen and axemen here. Can't I take him down?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. Just don't get your brother into trouble."

Xiang Zhuang was not at all happy with Fan Zeng. The old man did not believe what he said at all. In Xiang Zhuang's opinion, it was meaningless to talk nonsense with such an outsider. So he left this sentence unhappily and turned away.

Only then did Fang Zheng retract his gaze and look at Xiang Yu.

"She's an interesting woman."

"My sister is naughty, please don't forget it, Master Fang."

Faced with Fang Zheng's smile, Xiang Yu could only smile bitterly and bow. Then he sighed as if he had made up his mind.

"Mr. Fang, I have thought about this. The affairs of this world are not the business of one person, but along the way I have come..."

"I understand. Just like your father, I have no choice."

Fang Zheng certainly understood what Xiang Yu meant. Xiang Yu was now a world-famous general, and his victory over the main force of the Qin army at Julu was a legendary achievement. It could be said that Xiang Yu was now "the one that everyone expected."

Of course, this so-called "public expectation" does not refer to the common people. To the common people, who wins the world has nothing to do with them.

"In that case, I will give the general a chance."

Fang Zheng put down his wine glass with a smile.

"Let's make a bet with Hangu Pass. If the general can break through Hangu Pass, I will hand over Xianyang to you. From then on, I will no longer care about worldly affairs and continue to travel around and live my immortal life. Of course, to be fair, I will not use the art of killing the enemy with the sound of the zither, nor will I use any magical powers. I will only send my students to lead the troops. How do you think?"

"This... is a good relationship."

After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Xiang Yu's originally tense expression suddenly relaxed a lot. What he feared most was Fang Zheng's trick of killing the enemy with the sound of the piano. Now Fang Zheng personally confirmed that he would not use magical powers, which made Xiang Yu's originally nervous mood relax a lot. However, he soon had doubts again.

"But... according to the spies, Master Fang, you have less than 100,000 soldiers under your command, while we have 400,000 troops, well-trained and well-fed, and we have taken advantage of the momentum of defeating Qin, so our morale is high. It is true that Hangu Pass is a natural barrier, but Master Fang, do you think that a few tens of thousands of people can defeat our 400,000 troops?"

"forty thousand."

Fang Zheng shook his head and held up four fingers.

"As the general said, I don't have that many soldiers. Most of them are currently pacifying various situations. Facing your 400,000-man army, I can only send out 40,000 soldiers to fight."

"Only 40,000?"

This time, Xiang Yu could no longer suppress the surprise on his face.

"Mr. Fang, you really don't know how to use any magical powers?"

"hehe."

Facing Xiang Yu's question, Fang Zheng chuckled, poured another glass of wine, then looked at Xiang Yu and asked.

"General, do you know how our ancestors fought long, long ago?"

"...Xiang doesn't know."

"At that time, our ancestors were naked, wearing only animal skins, and their weapons were wooden and stone axes. In the eyes of the general, were such enemies threatening?"

"Of course not."

Xiang Yu shook his head. According to Fang Zheng, the ancestors at that time were only wearing animal skins and holding stone axes. They couldn't even cut their own armor, so how could they pose any threat?

"I have heard that the general lifted a thousand-jin cauldron by himself, raising it up and lowering it three times. So, may I ask, general, can you lift the Hangu Pass?"

"Of course not."

Xiang Yu shook his head, while Fang Zheng chuckled, finished the wine in his glass, and stood up.

"That's right. Human power is limited, but the power of wisdom is unlimited... Then General, let's meet on the battlefield. Oh, by the way, as the saying goes, if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue, but if some people are too arrogant, the general will have to teach them a lesson."

After saying this, Fang Zheng bowed to Xiang Yu and turned to leave.

Xiang Yu looked at Fang Zheng's receding back in silence. After a while, Fan Zeng hurried in and looked at Xiang Yu.

"General, why don't you order someone to capture this man?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

"Why!"

Upon hearing Xiang Yu's answer, Fan Zeng stomped his feet in anger.

"You are not worthy of being a consultant! Such a good opportunity was missed by the general!"

Who are you scolding?

In response to Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu didn't say anything, but he was unhappy in his heart, but he still raised his glass.

"Don't worry, Father-in-law. I have a bet with Master Fang. As long as we can break through Hangu Pass, he will immediately offer all the occupied land to us."

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

Hearing this, Fan Zeng's expression suddenly changed. Xiang Yu nodded, looking at Fan Zeng who was lost in thought again, and couldn't help but think of the words Fang Zheng left for him before he left.

Perhaps... my father-in-law is a little too indulgent?
