But they were on their way back.
Han Xin stood protectively beside him.
Don't let Han Xin's scholarly appearance fool you.
But in reality...
He is skilled in martial arts, and his skills are quite remarkable.
Otherwise, given his personality, he would have been beaten to death by the local bullies in Huaiyin long ago.
With a loud "bang!"
Li Lin bumped into a passerby.
Just as he was about to apologize, the pedestrian who had been knocked down suddenly lifted him up by the waist and even above his head.
"What are you going to do?"
"Heh, you bastard, you bumped into me, and you're asking me what I want?"
"Stop! This brother has quite the strength, but the man you're holding is none other than the current Prime Minister, Li Lin. Please put the Prime Minister down and let's talk this out!"
Seeing this, how could Han Xin allow his beloved minister to suffer torment at the hands of the bandits?
But he wasn't reckless either.
They directly revealed their identities.
"Oh? This birdman is the current prime minister?"
The burly man looked suspicious, unsure whether he should put him down.
Meanwhile, Li Lin, who was being lifted above his head, was extremely frustrated: [My goodness! Isn't today my wedding day? How come someone I just bumped into on the street has such strength? It's like he's Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu!]
"Jie'er, stop fooling around! Put him down right now! How long have we been separated? And you're already causing trouble here?"
"Uncle, this person bumped into me, what happened..."
"Stop talking so much, quickly put the person down, there are more and more onlookers!"
Li Lin sensed something was wrong.
Turning my head to look at the sound, I saw a middle-aged man with a murderous aura in his brows, giving him the air of a bandit on the run.
"good!"
The burly man reluctantly put Li Lin back on the ground.
"Uncle, I am Li Lin, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. I was quite shocked to be lifted up by your nephew's astonishing strength today. Coincidentally, my residence is lacking two valiant men like you. If you two don't mind..."
At this moment, he was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
He had just met Liu Bang.
Naturally, they wouldn't think they were encountering Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, since these two rivals could never appear together, right?
What a coincidence!
"Hmph, what a joke! You want me to guard your house for a piece of trash like you? I'll..."
The burly man was born into nobility. Although he spoke as sweetly as if his mouth were coated with honey, it was normal for the Chu nobles to be the leaders of barbarian tribes and lack etiquette and manners.
Especially for those born into military or noble families, it was quite common for them to lack education.
After all, not everyone is Qu Yuan.
"Jie'er, how dare you speak like that?"
The middle-aged man frowned, and the burly man immediately shut his mouth. Then, the middle-aged man looked at Li Lin with a smile and said politely, "I didn't expect you to become the Prime Minister at such a young age. Now that you have extended such a warm invitation, if I were to refuse, it would certainly make the Prime Minister lose face. Therefore, I would rather accept your offer and be willing to serve as a servant in the Prime Minister's residence alongside my nephew!"
"Very well, very well, you two brave warriors, come with me back to the Prime Minister's residence!"
"promise!"
"By the way, may I ask how you two gentlemen are addressed?"
"Your Excellency, my surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Liang. This is my nephew, Xia Jie!"
"Oh? Xia Liang, Xia Jie? That name sounds familiar!"
When Li Lin heard these two names, he didn't react much at first, but the pronunciation of the character "夏" (Xia) was similar to that of the character "项" (Xiang). If "夏" was pronounced with emphasis, it would sound like "项".
"Haha, there are many people in the world with the same name. Perhaps the Prime Minister has heard similar names when handling state affairs?"
"That's possible!"
Li Lin nodded. He was in a hurry to make merry in the bridal chamber, so he didn't care about names at all.
The four of them quickly returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
Inside the Prime Minister's residence.
The guests were numerous.
Almost all the civil and military officials of the court were present.
Just the money given as a gift.
That would bring in nearly a million dollars.
However, while Li Lin was busy taking care of the guests, "Xia Liang" and "Xia Jie" who he had led in suddenly disappeared from the front hall.
Beside the artificial hill in the Prime Minister's residence.
The two were discussing countermeasures together.
"Uncle, why did you agree to let this brat bring us here? Do you really want us to be his servants? If you want to be one, then be one. Who am I, Xiang Yu? I would rather die than be a servant. It's too humiliating!"
“Jie’er, I can’t bear to see a thief ruin our grand plan. Your uncle has already sent someone to inform the assassins. When that dog emperor is about to leave, block the front gate, and then you and I, along with the assassins, will kill that dog emperor here!”
"Uncle, are you telling the truth?"
"Hehe, for more than 20 years, Uncle has been dreaming of seeing this day. Don't you think it's true?"
"Alright, Uncle, let's join forces and kill this dog emperor today!"
