After Xiang Yan died of illness.
Xiang Chao and others followed his will and kept his death a secret.
But outside the central army tent, there were many dried salted fish hanging.
Xiang Chao even mobilized a lot of manpower to transport huge blocks of ice from other places.
These ice cubes are usually stored in the cellars of rich people's homes and are not difficult to obtain.
But his behavior seems to be a bit of a cover-up.
However, if Xiang Yan's body started to stink, many people would definitely speculate that Xiang Yan had died.
He is the soul of the army.
His fall was an extremely painful blow to the Chu army.
Therefore, it would be better to follow Xiang Chao's method and try to cover it up for a few days. When it is completely impossible to suppress it, then think of another way.
After making these preparations.
Xiang Chao approached Li Yuan with his sword in hand and demanded, "I'm sure you already know about my father's affairs.
Now, do you have anything else to say?"
The latter pretended to be confused and asked, "Words? What words? What do I need to say?"
Xiang Chao drew his sword and shouted angrily, "You dare to be stubborn when death is imminent? I ask you, is my father's death related to Zhu Danxi?"
Li Yuan said sternly, "General Xiang, this is a serious matter. I hope you won't speculate rashly, or I won't be able to bear the consequences.
I would like to ask you, is there a problem with the prescription that Zhu Danxi prescribed? If so, then you can take my head.
Secondly, I was only giving General Xiang a suggestion at the beginning. As for whether to adopt Zhu Danxi's prescription, it is entirely up to you.
Now that Marshal Xiang has passed away, you're blaming this incident on me? Do you really think I have someone behind me?"
"quibble!"
Xiang Chao was furious and raised his sword to attack Li Yuan.
Li Yuan remained calm in the face of danger and said, "General Xiang, please do not frame me without evidence! If you kill me today, I swear that one day you will also die a miserable death!"
When he was in Xianyang, he gave in because he saw that Cai Jing really wanted to kill him.
Moreover, there seems to be no better solution than surrender.
But the situation is different now.
On the surface, he was still an official of the Ministry of Rites and an envoy of the State of Chu.
If Xiang Chao dared to attack him at this time, he would wantonly kill the court officials.
Then, those officials who hate the Xiang family will definitely take the opportunity to attack them.
Therefore, he guessed that Xiang Chao was just trying to scare him.
This Li Yuan is worthy of being the powerful official recorded in the history of Ying Yuan's previous life, who was able to kill Huang Xie and monopolize the Chu government.
He has both courage and skill.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to thrive in the court of Chu.
Xiang Chao had no choice but to continue monitoring Li Yuan.
This made the latter very helpless.
After all, I can't go anywhere now. I can only stay in the tent alone without anyone's company.
He wanted to escape, but he couldn't find any way.
There are three biggest impacts of Xiang Yan’s death.
First, the morale of the soldiers guarding Hangu Pass will decline.
Second, the marshal who had the most ruling power and knew the Qin State best was gone.
Third, who should lead the reinforcements sent by the Chu court?
Xiang Chao definitely can’t do it.
After all, he didn't have enough qualifications.
Therefore, the news of Xiang Yan's death could only be secretly transmitted to Tai'an City of Chu.
......
After leaving Hangu Pass, Zhu Danxi tossed and turned and finally arrived at Lingbao Mountain.
However, when he first arrived at the Qin military camp, they actually regarded Zhu Danxi as a refugee from the war.
He casually gave him some dry food and thought of sending him away.
No matter what Zhu Danxi said, those people just refused to listen or believe him and just thought he was talking nonsense.
How could a dignified imperial physician fall to the level of a beggar?
The Qin State has not been destroyed yet!
Fortunately, through Zhu Danxi's persistence, he finally got to meet Lu Bu and Yu Jin as he wished.
In the tent.
Zhu Danxi, who had been in exile for several days, could no longer hold back when he saw the delicious wine and food.
Just reach out and grab it, and put it into your mouth continuously.
Seeing this, Lu Bu and Yu Jin looked at each other.
They could feel that Zhu Danxi had indeed suffered a lot in the past few days.
After he had eaten and drunk his fill, Yu Jin slowly began to speak:
"Mr. Zhu, I'm very sorry. When Li Yuan brought the news that you had left Hangu Pass, I sent people everywhere to look for you, but to no avail.
There are so many snakes, insects, rats and leopards in this area that I thought you were in danger..."
It is indeed a blessing to be able to survive alone, bypassing Hangu Pass, walking in the deep mountains and forests.
After all, even an army of tens of thousands of people did not dare to easily choose to bypass Hangu Pass and take the mountain road.
Otherwise, from ancient times to the present, Hangu Pass would have changed hands with the enemy many times.
Zhu Danxi shook his head and smiled, "When I was young, I traveled around the world, so these deep mountains and old forests are not a problem for me.
However, when they left Hangu Pass, they were in such a hurry that they did not bring enough dry food with them.
Adding to his old age and frailty, he accidentally fell down the hillside, so now he looks like a beggar."
He is not bragging.
If he were a dozen years younger, he would be able to travel freely here and even in Shu.
Miasma, snakes, insects, etc., all have to take a detour when they see him.
When this old man traveled to Shu, he fought with several Gu Masters and basically won every time.
