[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Liu Bang raised his head and drank a big sip of wine, his cheeks were already a little flushed.That clear sight seemed to be a little hazy.He walked towards where Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo were.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. If there are only two or three of us fleeing, we can go anywhere. Now we have a lot of people. If we go to a place with a lot of people, it will definitely attract some people's attention. We can only go to places with few people and remote places. .Now we should discuss, where should we go?" Liu Bang glanced at Fan Kuai.

After receiving Liu Bang's gaze, Fan Kui directly proposed. "Since we want to escape to a place where there are few people, we can go directly into the mountains. There are many trees in the mountains to hide our body. Even if we are accidentally spotted, it will take a lot of effort to catch them. However, in the mountains There are also some insects, snakes and beasts, and the road is not easy to walk."

"What insects, snakes and ferocious beasts are more terrifying than the cruel officials of Daqin? No matter how dangerous the mountains and forests are, we have to rush through them. It's better than being caught by the officials and directly losing our lives." One of the prisoners said.

"That's right!" The others nodded in agreement.

"No matter how dangerous the mountainous area is, it is not as dangerous as the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. I have lived in the mountainous area for a while, so you can leave the task of finding the way to me." One of the prisoners also began to show his value.

Looking at the people who consciously opened up the division of labor, Liu Bang was somewhat satisfied.Although these prisoners are willing to stay, it is impossible to say that there is no barrier between them and the guards.

Liu Bang didn't directly arrange where everyone was going to escape, but asked where they were going.This undoubtedly merged the prisoners and guards who had been separated from each other.Regardless of their previous identities, now they are all trying to escape the pursuit of Qin Bing, they are grasshoppers on a rope.

He doesn't need to do everything himself, he just needs to be a good guide and let the people under him do what he wants.Liu Bang has long passed the age when he likes to show his sharpness, and now that he is so weak, the more outstanding his performance, the easier it is to attract the attention of others.He has no ability to protect himself, but makes people aware of his danger.It's almost as fast as telling someone to let them put him out.

Not only can't show his sharpness, he even has to be dull, so as to reassure some people.Of course, his stupidity needs to be controlled to a certain degree. If he shows the stupidity of "rotten wood cannot be carved", it is challenging the loyalty of his subordinates.

"Since everyone thinks this way, I have a proposal. We might as well go directly to the Mangdang mountain area. The place is very secretive and no officials are willing to control it. It is also safer for us. Moreover, it is about [-] meters away from Pei County. It's not too far away. If there is a chance to return to Pei County, we can come back in time." Fan Kui proposed again.

Fan Kuai had a wife and children in Pei County, and many of these officers and prisoners were in a similar situation to him.Although everyone is now a desperado, the first thing is to save their own lives.But in my heart there is always a bit of anticipation, looking forward to going back to reunite with my family.

Liu Bang glanced at it and found that no one had any objections, so he opened his mouth and made a conclusion. "Since everyone agrees, let's start now. The longer we stay in this place, the less safe it will be."

"Okay, I'll explore the way ahead." As soon as Liu Bang's words fell, he just said that he had lived in the mountains for a while, and walked forward quickly.

"I'm somewhat familiar with the mountains, so I'll go ahead." One of the guards also got up and followed behind him.

Liu Bang and others walked behind them. After walking a smooth road, they entered the mountain forest directly.The landform in this mountain forest is indeed much more complicated, but with two people exploring the way, they will not take too many detours, and the speed is not much slower than on flat ground.

In order to be safe, they took the small road, and few people passed by.After walking for a short time, they came across a swamp.The two pathfinders didn't ask anyone else to speak, they went straight ahead to look for the path, while the others rested in place.After a while, the two came back with obvious shock on their faces.

"What happened?" Liu Bang asked?But he didn't become so serious because of this, and he even drank two more sips of wine in his spare time.Since the two pathfinders came back safe and sound, what they encountered shouldn't be any fatal danger.

"There is a big snake in front. I don't know how old that snake is. It is lying across the road and blocking the way. Should we change the road and go around it?" The prisoner who was looking for the way said.The snake they saw was very thick and strong, which is quite rare.That body shape is really intimidating.

"I'll go over and have a look." Liu Bang said and walked over. When he saw the snake, his eyes lit up a little.This snake is not only big, but also has red patterns all over its body, which really looks a bit eye-catching.

Liu Bang pulled out the sword in his hand, and walked in front of the snake very lightly.Raising the sword in his hand, he directly chopped off the snake's head.The sword in his hand can be regarded as a good sword.Although he himself doesn't know any martial arts or weapons, he knows that this sword is very sharp.

How could the things Lu Zhi gave him to protect himself be bad?If he didn't have this sword in his hand, he might have to spend some effort to kill the snake.

After killing the snake, Liu Bang went back immediately without any preparation. He held the sword and approached the snake's body.Holding the sword in one hand and stroking the big snake's skin with the other, the look of love in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Brother-in-law, you really have the guts to chop up the snake!" Fan Kui was worried that something might happen to Liu Bang, so he followed closely behind him. Naturally, he was also the first person to see the big snake's body. "Since the snake is dead, we can pass right through here."

"Well, let's take a break here today and drink snake soup. This thing is a great tonic, and we can't eat it if we want to eat it on weekdays. Today's snake is so big, but we can eat it to our heart's content." Liu Bang said As he spoke, he continued what he was doing.

Fan Kui looked at the big snake in front of him, and his heart was a little bit moved.He has long heard that the snake meat has a special flavor, but reason tells him that now is not the time to indulge in pleasure. "Brother-in-law, we are running away now. I don't know if those Qin soldiers have noticed that we have deviated from the route. The farther we go, the safer we are. The earlier we enter the vast mountainous area, the earlier we can feel at ease."

"If you don't want to, it's okay. We'll leave after I peel off the snake skin." Liu Bang didn't even lift his head, and continued his movements.The age of this snake is indeed not young, not only is it thick and strong, but the snake skin is naturally quite tough.

"Brother-in-law, what do you want snake skin for?" Fan Kui felt even more incomprehensible.It is said that snake meat is a great tonic, and he naturally agrees.But this snake skin, compared to the fur of other animals, seems to be of little use.Few people use snake skin to make clothes or the like.

"Give it to your sister." To be more correct, I made this snake skin into a whip and gave it to Lu's pheasant.He had this idea when he saw the snake.Lu Zhi should be very suitable for using a whip. She rarely uses martial arts on weekdays, and not many people even know that she knows how to use martial arts.In this case, Lu's pheasant is naturally not suitable for walking with a sword in his hand.

The whip is different. The whip made of snake skin can be tied around the waist with a belt.Even if other people saw it, at most they would only think that she loved whips.Moreover, Lu Zhi itself is very suitable for wearing red clothes. If this red snakeskin whip is tied between the red clothes, it will be difficult for people to notice.

"Sister likes snake skin?" In Fan Kui's mind, Lu Zhi should be a standard lady, or a virtuous mistress.I always feel that snake skin and her are two completely different styles.

"She should like it." Liu Bang was a little uncertain in his heart, but he didn't change his idea of ​​giving the snake skin to Lu Zhi.He had never given Lu Zhi any valuable presents, and she didn't want to just give up this rare opportunity.

Fan Kuai knew that he couldn't stop Liu Bang, "Brother-in-law, I'll ask everyone to come over and help, cook a pot of snake soup for everyone to taste."

Fan Kuai felt that the reason of snake soup was easier for the prisoners to return than Liu Bang's reason of skinning the snake for his wife.Liu Bang personally rewarded everyone by killing snakes and skinning them, which can better show his loyalty.

"Okay." Liu Bang was dissatisfied with the movements of his hands, and it didn't take long for him to peel off the whole snake skin.He has also eaten snakes before, and has seen others do it.Although this was the first time he reached out to do something, the effect was good.He wiped the snakeskin with his worn clothes and put it in his bag.

When Fan Kuai brought people over, the snake had already been chopped into several kalpas by Liu Bang.Seeing that Liu Bang had put away the snake skin, he also breathed a sigh of relief.Obviously, Fan Kui came a little late on purpose, in order to let Liu Bang put away the snake skin.

Liu Bang has always done things recklessly, and he doesn't hide it too much.If other people could see that Liu Bang was killing the snake for its skin, the effect of the snake soup would probably be discounted.

It is said that many people are powerful, although this snake is huge, there are quite a few of them.After the snake soup was cooked, most of the snakes entered everyone's belly.After eating and drinking enough, they began to call themselves brothers and sisters with Liu Bang.

These people are all prisoners. Before becoming prisoners, most of them were street gangsters.Liu Bang is relatively familiar with these characters, so naturally there is no purchasing agent in this conversation.Whether it's chatting about eating, drinking and having fun, or drinking and beauties, Liu Bang seems to know better than them.In addition to getting close, the psychology of recognition, admiration, and worship also constantly arises.

Among them, Liu Bang has the highest status, and they are also gathered together because of Liu Bang.Naturally, Liu Bang received a "big brother".The first group of Liu Bang's subordinates, after such a day, have already begun to return to him.

At the beginning, their team was only 40 to [-] people, half of them were guards, and the other half were prisoners and civilian husbands who were originally escorted.On their way to the vast mountain, they encountered many people who also escaped.Some were released by Liu Bang, while others escaped from other places.More and more people defected to Liu Bang.

These people, however, are not as loyal to Liu Bang as the original ones, and they don't have much admiration for Liu Bang.What they think more is that if a large team is really found by officials, they will also have the power to resist.

In order to increase Liu Bang's prestige among these people, Fan Kui made up a story with the skinned red snake that Liu Bang killed by the way.He didn't change the experience of encountering the snake before, but he added another touch after Liu Bang killed the snake.

Fan Kuai and others claimed that Liu Bang had drunk too much wine, killed the snake, and then fell drunk on the ground.When they were looking for it, an old woman was squatting and weeping before the snake's dead body.They asked her why?The old woman said that someone had killed her son, and that her son was the son of the White Emperor who had transformed into a snake.Moreover, the person who killed him was the son of Chidi, so she was in pain because she couldn't take revenge.

They thought the old woman was lying and wanted to hit her, but the old woman disappeared in place.When Liu Bang woke up early in the morning, he found a complete red snake skin on his body.

In the story of Fan Kuai, the son of the Ebai Emperor is naturally a white snake.The appearance of this red snakeskin has something to do with the word 'Red Emperor'.

Many people are skeptical.It is true that people in this era easily believe in ghosts and gods, just like Lu Gong believed in the art of physiognomy very much.However, many people feel that the theory of ghosts and gods is very far away from her.

When they accidentally saw Liu Bang making a whip with a complete red snake skin, they gradually began to agree with this rumor.It's really because the snake skin is too huge, even people who often wander in the mountains have never seen such a huge snake.

If one person believes, another person is willing to spread it.Three people can become a tiger, and what is false can also be said to be true.What's more, there are more than three people who spread this message.Those who know the truth are the ones who most look forward to Liu Bang becoming stronger, so naturally they will not tell the truth.Not only that, they are the ones who are most active in spreading rumors.Sometimes, even they themselves think the rumors are true.

Under these rumors, Liu Bang's body was shrouded in a mysterious halo.Those who followed Liu Bang later were even more afraid of him than those before him.Their fear of Liu Bang is not even a fear of people, but a fear of immortals and gods.

In their hearts, there is a vague conclusion.That is, people who have some relationship with the "immortal god" will definitely become great things in the future.As the first batch of people who followed Liu Bang, they would naturally be the ones who received the most favor.

After such an idea was formed, the people around Liu Bang obeyed Liu Bang's words even more, and even had a bit of blind trust.

When Liu Bang and the others arrived in the Mangdang Mountains, the number of people had changed from dozens to hundreds.In the Mangdang Mountains, where no officials are willing to control, they have not relaxed.Instead, they found a more remote place to settle down.

After arriving in the Mangdang Mountains, they really didn't need to be so afraid of Qin Bing anymore.In terms of food, they don't need to worry too much.In the jungle, there are countless mountain forest foods, and the food they brought with them has long been eaten up.Now most of them survive by hunting in the mountains and forests.

They brought a lot of clothes themselves.The prisoners among them originally rushed to Mount Li, and they all had the intention of never returning, so naturally they would not have too little clothes.On the contrary, Liu Bang and the others who were originally servants didn't have much preparation for clothing.With so many people, it's not a problem if they are a little balanced.

After there was no life and death crisis, they were ready to fight for a long time in this Mangdang mountain area.It seems that because of the experience of life and death, these people pay great attention to their physical exercise, and even Liu Bang is used to running a few laps every day.

Just after Liu Bang finished the lap, a few traces of sweat appeared on his forehead.He is not a martial arts practitioner, and his body is not much worse than that of a martial arts practitioner.After running the circle, he subconsciously reached out to pick out the snake skin on his back.However, what he got was a whip that had already taken shape.

He took the whip out of the package and reached out to stroke it.He had to weave the whip by himself after running every day, but a few days ago, the whip had already taken shape.There is no need to weave the whip, but it will not make him feel relaxed, but it will make him feel a little bit empty.As if there was something in my heart, suddenly there was no sustenance.

Liu Bang tightened the whip in his hand, and a figure seemed to appear in front of his eyes.His eyes were a bit hazy, and he really wanted to touch the person who seemed to be close at hand, and wanted to hold the person in his arms.However, he restrained himself from doing it.

He knew that if she didn't do anything, she could last longer.Once he made a move, everything would come to naught before his eyes.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, who do you think is coming?!" Fan Kui's voice was filled with obvious surprise.

The fantasy scene that he tried his best to maintain was broken by Fan Kui's words, and Liu Bang suddenly became a little angry.He carefully put away the whip, and looked at Fan Kui with a bit of sharpness.

This fierceness only lasted for a moment, and the anger in his heart completely disappeared after he saw the person behind Fan Kui.I couldn't help tightening my fingers, and after feeling a bit of tingling, I was sure that what I saw was indeed real, and not a re-created hallucination because I missed it too much.

Liu Bang took a few steps forward quickly, and he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Zhi in his arms.If the two of them got along in private, he would definitely not do this.However, there are quite a few people around who are exercising now, and with so many people present, Lu Zhi usually pampers him very much.

Although he regretted that Lu Zhi would not let him do whatever he wanted when they were getting along, he also felt that it was not bad.He has seen the most real side of Lu Zhi, and when he wants to get close, he can also get close in front of everyone openly.

The only regret is that he can't climb into Lu Zhi's bed yet.But it's useless for him to worry about it.Under the suppression of force, he has no possibility of resisting at all.

Feeling the temperature of Lu Zhi's body, Liu Bang felt that his life had become complete.There are many things in his heart that he wants to say, he wants to tell her how much he misses Lu Zhi, and he wants to tell her his current plan.He even wanted to tell her all about his recent experiences...

In the end, he only asked one question. "Pheasant, how did you find me?"

It was hard to find this place in Mangdang Mountain, and they were in the most remote place in Mangdang Mountain, so it was even more difficult to find.Even if Lu Zhi heard that he had escaped, he should have spent some effort.Not long after they stayed in the Mangdang mountain area, she rushed over.

"Where are you, as long as I want to look for it, I will definitely find it." Xun Ying replied quite confidently.Still confident in his own strength.

After Liu Bang finished asking, he felt that his question was meaningless. He didn't say that he was completely clear about how many methods Lu Zhi had, but he also learned a lot.Finding someone shouldn't be too difficult.Maybe when she moved her hands and feet on him, he wouldn't notice.

Even if he knew that Lu Zhi had tampered with him, he would not stop him, but chose to let it go.Let her feel where he is anytime, anywhere, just thinking about it makes her feel sweet.

"That's right! It's the same as the five-colored auspicious cloud on your head, father. It's so clear at a glance! We've come all the way, not to mention detours, and we seldom make turns!" Liu Fei echoed, Although he was young, he didn't look tired after traveling for so long.

This Liu Fei has been studying literature and martial arts at the same time since he was four or five years old, and now he can't be considered both civil and military.In terms of IQ, he is more mature than his peers.The force value is even higher by a few percentage points.He was cultivated by Xunying himself, so naturally he would not weaken Xunying's momentum.

In Liu Fei's heart, the person he admires the most is his mother.In front of Liu Bang, he wanted to be more open.It seems that the roles of father and mother of ordinary people have been reversed.

This is also impossible, who let their mother teach him knowledge at home.His father often taught by precept and example how to please women.He was either trying to please his mother every day, or trying to please his mother.Liu Bang was not at home when he was doing business, so naturally Liu Fei couldn't see him.

"This mountain road is so difficult, do you take good care of your mother?" Liu Bang asked Liu Fei when he saw Liu Fei.

"Of course, I'm a man." Liu Fei patted his chest as he spoke.Although they all knew in their hearts that Lu's pheasant was the one who least needed protection.

Liu Bang smiled and looked at the people around him.He still has a lot of things to say, this is obviously not a good place.He took Lu Zhi and Liu Fei to the small wooden house where he lived temporarily.

After the three of them left, his subordinates gathered together in twos and threes.Occasionally, you can hear something like 'colorful auspicious clouds'.They don't know how much Lu Zhi's ability is, but they think Liu Bang is very amazing.Lu Zhi said that he could find Liu Bang wherever he went, and combined with Liu Fei's "colorful auspicious clouds above his head", this is another story that can be spread.

The awe in their eyes was a little more, and they all seemed to have more energy in training than before...
