The Great Qin Empire---Qin Li

He stretched his hands into the banyan leaves on the ground, and after groping for a while, Hei Fu finally found the knife with great difficulty.

He held it tightly, bent his body with great effort, and slowly cut off the vine root on his foot, and fell heavily to the ground!

After he stood up, he checked his wounds immediately, but saw that the crossbow arrow had shot through the leather foot bandage and embedded into the calf flesh three inches, but did not penetrate through. Perhaps it was because Zhongli Mei picked up the crossbow arrow and put it on the bow, and the crossbow arrow was short and could not be fully opened, so the speed of the string was not fast.

Fortunately, it did not hurt the bones, which was still considered a "flesh injury", otherwise Hei Fu would have suffered, and this leg might have been directly disabled.

But he could not be careless, there was no medicine in those days, and the probability of death from wound infection was still very high.

When tearing the cloth strips on his body and preparing to pull out the arrow and bandage it, Hei Fu remembered the real name reported by the Chu spy when he left.

"Zhongli Mei, he is actually Zhongli Mei..."

If it weren't for the coincidence of having the same name and the same clan name, Zhongli Mei should be the most important general under Xiang Yu twenty years later, known as the "servant minister", only after his father-in-law Fan Zeng.

"My first contact with a historical celebrity was in this way."

Hei Fu was somewhat amused and helpless. There was no chance meeting at all. They appreciated each other and were conquered by the spirit of a cuckold. He was a Qin official and the other party was a Chu spy. It was a life-and-death chase, and in the end he was tricked and beaten. If it weren't for the weirdo Zhongli Mei who let him go, Hei Fu would have been a dead body at this moment.

What is this? ?

But after hearing that the man was Zhongli Mei, Hei Fu was no longer surprised by the failure of this reckless pursuit.

Zhongli Mei was good at using troops. During the Chu-Han contention, Liu Bang, the King of Han, was defeated by Zhongli Mei several times. Afterwards, he was still obsessed with this man and wanted to kill him as soon as possible. Today, although he was still a small Chu spy, he had some military skills in his actions and strategies. He was indeed an extremely difficult person.

Hei Fu couldn't help but sighed: "I was too proud of myself. After becoming a pavilion chief, I handled a few cases smoothly. I was a little proud and underestimated the people in this world. But I didn't expect that there was a wolf from Jingchu lying in the small county of Anlu. Once it showed its fangs, I was at a disadvantage."

Specially trained spies are indeed very different from ordinary bandits.

Failure is not terrible, but failure without learning lessons is terrible. This incident was like a wake-up call for Hei Fu, which woke him up suddenly!

"My original intention was to survive in this great era, slowly climb up, find opportunities, and do valuable things. I didn't really want to be a Qin State Pavilion Chief who worked diligently, busy with trivial matters, and chased thieves without hesitation!"

"I should keep this in mind as a lesson. I should be more tactful in the future and not put myself in danger again."

"I am a person from the future. My life is more precious than Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and even than the First Emperor!"

Having said that, Hei Fu was still a little dissatisfied in his heart. The humiliation of being hung upside down and spared his life was even more filled in his heart. But at this moment, Zhongli Mei had already fled far away, and Hei Fu was injured again. He had no way to vent his emotions.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps trampling on branches and leaves in front of him. Hei Fu hurriedly grabbed the knife and looked up. It was an old acquaintance, You Jiao Shu Wu...

...

"Hei Fu Pavilion Chief, I finally found you." Shu Wu shouted from a distance.

"So it's a roving bandit. Didn't you go to chase the scattered horses?" Heifu was a little cautious. He had always been at odds with this man.

Shuwu walked up to Heifu and said, "The murderer is cunning. I was afraid that the stableman and Heifu Pavilion Chief were no match for him. After going to the third pavilion to inform the local pavilion chief, I immediately rode to chase him. Sure enough, the stableman fell into a trap. He pointed the way for me. I followed the marks left by the pavilion chief all the way here. After entering the forest, I also found this."

The thing in his hand was the red cap that Heifu had hung on the branches.

"Heifu is ashamed that he fell into the trap of the murderer." Heifu was a little embarrassed. His most embarrassing scene was actually seen by his old enemy.

"The murderer is cunning. It is common for him to run away. Pavilion Chief, don't blame yourself."

Shuwu handed the red cap to Heifu with a smile, but the moment Heifu took it, he suddenly put the sword in his hand across Heifu's neck!

"Heifu, put down the knife in your hand."

"Youjiao, what do you mean?" Heifu looked at the sword and sighed secretly, thinking that today was Mercury retrograde? But he still threw away the knife.

Shuwu kicked the knife away. At this moment, Heifu was unarmed, so he stopped pretending and laughed: "The murderer, no, it should be called Chu Di, but you let him go on purpose!"

Heifu looked at Shuwu coldly: "What are you talking about, Youjiao?"

Shuwu frowned: "Heifu Pavilion Chief, you don't have to pretend. I came here half a minute ago and just heard the last few words between you and the thief. He could have killed you, but he didn't. When he left, he even gave his real name and made an appointment to meet next time. If you didn't collude with him, why did you do this! No wonder that Chu Di led us by the nose everywhere. It turns out that Heifu Pavilion Chief assisted him!"

"I don't understand what Youjiao said."

Hei Fu shook his head: "I tried my best to catch the thief, but I fell into the trap by mistake. Although I failed in my duty, I have a clear conscience. You Jiao could have taken me back to the county town, and we would have a fight in court! If the accusation is untrue, You Jiao himself will be falsely accused! On the contrary, You Jiao himself, who was clearly in front of the thief, did not help, and watched the murderer leave. It is a crime to watch someone die within a hundred steps. It is a crime for a thief to leave as a patrol. If you are talking about someone who secretly colluded with the Chu spy, you seem to be more suspicious!"

"You!"

Shu Wu's face turned pale. He wanted to steal the credit from Hei Fu, so he came so quickly. But when he got there, he saw that Hei Fu, a famous warrior in the county, was hung upside down by the thief. Shu Wu immediately became scared. How could he dare to show up?

He knew his own abilities, so he dared to walk out carefully after the murderer left. Seeing Heifu in such a mess, he couldn't help but feel proud again, and had evil thoughts in his heart, wanting to use the few words he heard to throw dirty water on Heifu.

Unexpectedly, Heifu was not afraid at all. Shuwu was very angry because he couldn't see his panic.

In recent days, the county's right lieutenant has been increasingly relying on Heifu, but often scolded him, and even said that he would remove his position as a patrol officer and let Heifu take his place...

Jealousy took root in Shuwu's heart, and now it has grown into a towering tree, covering the big banyan tree in front of him!

As Heifu said, it is unlikely that he will be convicted of a crime without any evidence, and he might even be falsely accused.

But if, in this deserted mountain, the injured Heifu was killed, and it was said that it was done by thieves!

"Kill him! Then no one will fight with you anymore!"

As soon as this thought came to Shuwu, he could no longer stop. He looked around guiltily. There was no one around. Those guards might not arrive for another moment, not to mention the lame stableman.

Heifu saw Shuwu's eyes rolling, and knew that he had the intention to kill, and thought to himself that it was not good!

"By the way, you can't use my sword to kill people, or the clerk will find out."

Shuwu's eyes fell on Heifu's own sword a few feet away.

"Don't move!" Shuwu continued to point his sword at Heifu, with a fierce look on his face, and his other hand reached for Heifu's sword...

"Kill him with Heifu's sword, and say that he was stabbed by the thief who stole the sword. When I arrive, there will be only a dead body left, so no one will suspect..."

Just as he was thinking, Shuwu suddenly heard a noise behind him!

He didn't care about anything else and quickly turned around and swung his sword, but Hei Fu had already jumped up and dodged Shu Wu's sword. At the same time, he held something in both hands and stabbed Shu Wu fiercely!

The crossbow arrow that was just stuck in Hei Fu's calf was completely embedded in Shu Wu's eye socket!

"Shuwu."

Shuwu's face was covered in blood, and he retreated screaming in pain, while Heifu smiled grimly on the side: "Do you think everyone is Zhongli Mei!"

...

A moment later, when Judian limped over with three guards, Heifu, who had already washed Shuwu's blood by the pond, was walking out with difficulty with his sword, also limping...

"Heifu, the guard!"

Judian was overjoyed and quickly asked the guards to help Heifu, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay? Where are the thieves? Where are the patrolmen?"

"It's all my fault."

Heifu looked sad, raised his head, and said regretfully: "I was careless just now, fell into the trap of the thieves, and was hung upside down on the banyan tree, unable to escape. And Shuwu was shot to death by the thief with a crossbow to save me!"
