Early the next morning.
With a black eye, Xiang Yu glared angrily at Li Lin, who was stretching.
"Your Excellency, last night... last night, I saw Miss Yu seemingly enter your room, and then... then..."
"Xiang Yu, why are you stammering when you speak, you're a grown man?"
He smiled, put on his armor, and put his cloak back on.
Then he tied a scabbard to his waist and inserted the sword.
"Your Excellency, you didn't do anything to Miss Yu, did you? I'm afraid... I'm afraid Her Highness will be angry again..."
As Xiang Yu spoke, he couldn't help but blush.
He reached out and scratched his head.
"You, it seems you've fallen for that Miss Yu like a cuckold, haven't you? Don't worry, I didn't do anything to her last night."
"Oh, really?"
The anger on Xiang Yu's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of delight.
Seeing Xiang Yu's expression, he couldn't help but shake his head with a laugh. "Xiang Yu, do you think that since you're a stranger in this place, if a beautiful woman suddenly climbs into your bed in the middle of the night, you'd just take off your pants without thinking? Look at you, so pathetic, you can't even walk when you see a beautiful woman?"
"This...this..."
Xiang Yu had not expected him to criticize him in this way.
If it were ordinary...
He was already furious.
But now, no matter how angry he is, he can't muster any anger.
On the contrary, they thought the corrupt official was right.
Arriving in an unfamiliar place, a beautiful woman suddenly climbs into your bed in the middle of the night.
He's probably a normal man.
They wouldn't be easily moved, would they?
"Also, that Yu Miaoyi has a strong air of worldliness about her, she doesn't seem like a lady from a respectable family. Although she is beautiful, she is definitely not a good match for you and she is scheming. She is deliberately trying to sow discord between you and me. Didn't you see that?"
“Master, you know what, this Yu Miaoyi really does seem like a courtesan. The way she walks, judging from my youthful ignorance and frequenting brothels, is clearly specially trained, and her purpose seems to be to attract men’s attention.”
After listening to Li Lin's analysis, Han Xin wholeheartedly agreed.
Xiang Yu, however, still couldn't quite understand.
“Your Excellency, aren’t you going a bit too far? Although you look down on Miss Yu from the bottom of your heart, she is at least a lady from a respectable family.”
"Alas, this is just my personal opinion. By the way, Han Xin, go and call Master Fan Zeng. We'll leave the city now."
"promise!"
Li Lin didn't care what Xiang Yu thought.
After all, this woman who resembles Yu Ji is a troublesome character.
He didn't want to stay in this city any longer.
“Nephew, why are you leaving the city so soon? Why not stay a few more days? I know that the sudden events last night frightened you, but my daughter is deeply in love with you. Her love drove her to do such a shameless thing. Please don’t take it to heart!”
Seeing that Li Lin was about to leave, Yu Miao hurriedly ran out of the mansion gate and explained with a smile.
"No need. Your daughter's name is Miaoyi, and your name is Miao. Do you really think you're using your daughter as a weapon to make me go along with your evil ways?"
"ah?"
"As the Prefect of Chen Commandery, you do not think about repairing the city walls or protecting the interests of the people in the city. You only care about your own selfish interests and have made the Prefect's Mansion more luxurious than the imperial palace. When you saw me coming, you even sent your youngest daughter to seduce me alone. Do you really think I am a fool? Let me tell you the truth, when I return to Xianyang, I will definitely dismiss you from your post!"
"Ah? My dear nephew, why do you speak so harshly to me? The rebels in Chu are powerful now, why do you still speak so ill of me?"
"Hahaha, what does the strength of the Chu rebels have to do with me? Do you intend to rebel? Fine, you old fool, if you don't rebel today, I, your Prime Minister, will surely skin you alive and send your whole family to build the Great Wall!"
"Nephew! I have treated you to the best of food and drink, and even sent my daughter to serve you. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you also dare to threaten me like this. Do you think I am easily frightened? Guards, close the city gates. None of you will leave here today!"
Yu Miao's expression immediately changed.
From his fawning smile a moment ago to his cold-blooded ruthlessness now, it's as if he's become a completely different person.
"Squeak..."
The city gates were immediately closed.
The guards on all sides drew their bows and nocked arrows.
The laborers stood behind Yu Miao, brandishing swords and spears.
The elite soldiers inside the city, armed with long spears and clad in heavy armor, lined up in a row, completely surrounding Li Lin and his men.
"Xiang Yu, now you know, don't you? A beautiful woman may be lovely, but the venomous barb on her tail is deadly!"
"Your Excellency, I know I was wrong!"
Only then did Xiang Yu realize that the beautiful woman's advances to this corrupt official last night had been a trap.
Once the corrupt official gallops away on his horse.
He was now essentially tied to that old scoundrel on the same warship.
Don't say things like "it's okay if you're asleep."
According to the current Qin Dynasty law, collective punishment is inevitable.
"Ignorance is no excuse. Beauty is desirable, but one must be careful not to indulge in it, or one bite will lead to endless troubles." Li Lin continued to admonish Xiang Yu, knowing that Xiang Yu was not without brains.
On the contrary, he is a smart man.
He just doesn't use his intellect to think, which makes him seem like a brainless person. In fact, if he were truly a brainless person, he wouldn't have such a high talent in military affairs.
