RPAGF Chapter 277 Tie him up like a dog!
Chapter 277 Tie him up like a dog!
Ji Dan's original air of otherworldly wisdom instantly crumbled!
He slumped onto the couch, raising his sleeve to wipe away the cold sweat.
"Damn it! That scared the hell out of me! I almost gave myself away!"
Ji Dan gasped for breath, her eyes filled with the terror of surviving a disaster.
No!
This undercover job is extremely dangerous!
He knew absolutely nothing about the questions Xiang Liang and his group asked!
Ji Dan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes becoming extremely sharp.
The most important thing right now!
We must spare no effort to thoroughly investigate everything Zhang Fan has done, said, and done, including all the strange and unusual things he's done!
Only in this way can I avoid being completely exposed!
Thinking about this!
Ji Dan slowly calmed her breathing, stood up from the bed, and peeked out through the crack in the door.
Outside the gate of his luxurious courtyard stood four guards!
These four people, like iron towers, completely sealed off every corner of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Ji Dan couldn't help but rub her temples in annoyance.
"Damn it..."
"That old fox Xiang Liang, he claims to treat me as an honored guest and a pillar of the Great Chu's restoration!"
"But these guards at the gate are clearly putting me under house arrest, afraid I'll escape!"
Ji Dan paced back and forth in the room, her brows furrowed.
What should we do?
I can't even leave this courtyard now, let alone find out anything about Zhang Fan!
If Xiang Liang comes to ask him about "coal" or "steel mill" again tomorrow, where will he find the lie to make up?
suddenly!
Ji Dan's gaze fell on the wine vessel on the table, and a sudden flash of inspiration struck her!
"Got it!"
Ji Dan sneered and immediately straightened his Taoist robe.
He strode to the door and pushed it open.
The four guards at the door immediately tensed, their halberds crossed, and one of them spoke respectfully:
"Immortal Master, it is late. My lord has instructed that you should rest early!"
Ji Dan didn't even glance at them. Instead, she flung her sleeves in extreme annoyance, snorted coldly, and began to complain loudly:
"Rest? How can I rest in this wretched place?"
"When I was in Xianyang, I was surrounded by revelry every night and beauties every day! This courtyard of yours has no wine, no meat, and no elegant music; it's practically a nunnery!"
"Go away! Summon your lord! I can't sleep tonight; I feel unwell all over!"
Upon hearing this, the two guards immediately looked troubled and exchanged glances.
This... how come this immortal master is acting like a street ruffian, listening to music and having fun in the middle of the night?
However, given Xiang Liang's extremely courteous treatment of Ji Dan, one of the guards dared not be negligent and quickly clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Immortal Master, please calm your anger. This subordinate will go and consult Lord Xiang immediately!"
After saying this, the guard quickly left.
……
Not long after.
Inside Xiang Liang's study.
Upon hearing the guard's report, Xiang Liang, who had been studying the map by lamplight, not only did not get angry, but instead burst into loud laughter!
"This immortal master is quite a remarkable person!"
A glint flashed in Xiang Liang's eyes, and he immediately waved his hand, giving the order:
"Since the Immortal Master is in such high spirits and finds this courtyard rather dull, then why don't you take him to the most famous 'Ji Honglou' in Wu County!"
"Let the immortal master enjoy the music, and have a few more stunning courtesans serve him!"
"but……"
Xiang Liang paused, his eyes sharp:
"Remember, bring plenty of elite guards and protect the Immortal Master's 'safety' at all times! We absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to the Immortal Master, understand?"
Although Wu County was the stronghold of the Jiangdong youths, and had been managed by him to the point of being impregnable, he was not afraid that Ji Dan would run away.
But since this is a very important matter, we still need to be on the safe side!
"Here you go!"
The guard accepted the order and immediately withdrew to make the arrangements.
After the guards left.
Xiang Yu, who had been standing beside Xiang Liang with a displeased expression, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He asked in a muffled voice:
"uncle!"
"Yu'er truly doesn't understand why you indulge that so-called immortal master like this?"
"This man has only been in our Great Chu army camp for one day, and hasn't accomplished a single merit, yet he's already clamoring to go to a brothel in the middle of the night! This lecherous and pleasure-seeking scoundrel is hardly the image of an enlightened master; he's clearly a good-for-nothing blinded by lust!"
Xiang Yu snorted coldly, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, clearly showing his utter contempt for Ji Dan's behavior.
Looking at his nephew, who was brave and unparalleled but somewhat reckless!
Xiang Liang patiently put down the bamboo slips in his hand.
He stood up, patted Xiang Yu's broad shoulder, and explained earnestly:
"Yu'er, you are still too young and do not understand the ways of emperors and the art of managing people!"
A sly smile crept across Xiang Liang's lips, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
There is no such thing as a perfect person in this world!
"If this immortal master is truly a detached and desireless living deity, then I will be restless day and night, unsure of how to win him over, and even more afraid that he might suddenly leave us one day!"
"But the fact that he's a lecherous man who lusts after beautiful women and enjoys pleasure actually puts me at ease!"
Xiang Liang turned his head, looking at the deep night outside the window, his eyes filled with unwavering determination:
"As long as he has flaws, as long as he has desires!"
"Money, status, beautiful women... as long as I can satisfy his desires, I can keep him like a dog on a leash! Only this man can be used by my Great Chu!"
……
On the bustling streets of Wuxian, the night market is in full swing.
Yu Miaoyan, the commander of the Black Ice Guard, was dressed in coarse linen clothes and mingled in the crowd, her face full of frustration.
"well……"
Frustrated, Yu Miaoyan kicked a pebble away, her mind racing with unspoken thoughts.
I was ordered by His Majesty to travel thousands of miles to Kuaiji County and Wu County to investigate the remnants of the Chu state, but so many days have passed and I haven't even touched a hair of a Chu person!
What troubles her the most is!
Your Majesty clearly knew all along that Immortal Master Zhang Fan was entangled with the remnants of the Chu Kingdom, so why did you still send me here to investigate?
Is it an investigation into the remnants of the Chu state?
Or is it a disguised investigation into Zhang Fan?
"Ugh! This is so annoying!"
Yu Miaoyan scratched her hair in frustration, feeling like her little brain wasn't big enough to handle it all.
These past few days!
She led over a hundred elite spies from the Black Ice Guard, wandering aimlessly around Wu County like headless flies, completely clueless!
Where exactly are those remnants of the Chu state hiding?
Just when she was extremely distressed and full of complaints.
"Get out of my way! All of you, get out of my way!"
Suddenly, a loud and boisterous noise came from ahead!
Yu Miaoyan frowned, immediately stepped aside to make way, and disappeared into the shadows of the crowd.
A dozen burly guards were seen driving away the people blocking the road, and among them, a luxurious and spacious carriage was being closely escorted.
