372: Chapter 372 Unexpected Enemy 372: Chapter 372 Unexpected Enemy Speaking of Tie Zhuzi, Xiao Xuan was even more helpless.

He was like a stubborn donkey, and would take orders from no one but Xiang Yu.

If Xiao Xuan was to keep an eye on Tie Zhuzi, he truly didn’t have the confidence to do so.

“This dagger has accompanied me for many years.

Keep it safe for me, and when I get out, I’ll take it back,” Xiang Yu said as he handed a shiny dagger to Xiao Xuan.

The dagger emitted a chilling glow in the darkness, making people uncomfortable to look at.

“Brother…” Xiao Xuan felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Xiang Yu then waved his hand to stop him from speaking, suddenly letting out a sigh before smiling, “Don’t act like a woman.”

Seeing Xiang Yu regain that demeanor, Xiao Xuan suddenly laughed.

Only this version of Xiang Yu could make him feel more at ease.

Xiang Yu checked the time; nearly half an hour had passed, and he smiled at Xiao Xuan, “Let’s go, they’re waiting for you on the main road.”

Xiao Xuan knew that Xiang Yu had made up his mind, then nodded his head and walked away.

A few steps out, he turned back and said to Xiang Yu, “Brother, all the guys are waiting for your return.”

Xiang Yu nodded, then put something in his mouth and turned to walk alone toward the mountains, not knowing if he would live or die.

Wu Jing was his own brother, and for him, even death would hold no regrets.

Since he had decided to face the situation openly, Xiang Yu was unconcerned and continued to walk confidently toward the interior.

Though the mountain was not large or high, it was quite deep and dense with underbrush and thorns.

Following the trail Wu Jing had trampled, Xiang Yu walked for about half an hour until suddenly, there was a small clearing ahead.

The traces left by Wu Jing also disappeared here, likely the place where he was captured.

“I’m here now, come out and catch me,” Xiang Yu suddenly shouted, and his voice echoed through the mountains.

They had initially been extremely cautious, wanting to infiltrate and understand the situation first, but now Xiang Yu was shouting out loud, truly, plans never can keep up with changes.

As soon as Xiang Yu’s voice fell, a dozen people suddenly rushed out from around him, fully armed with military masks covering their faces, and wearing steel helmets, almost mistakable for soldiers if one didn’t know better.

Four of them cautiously approached Xiang Yu, then suddenly overpowered him.

It was clear they were decisive and fast, obviously professionally trained.

Xiang Yu did not resist.

After being restrained, someone came over, blindfolded him with a black cloth, and then searched him repeatedly, only taking Xiang Yu away after making sure he carried no weapons.

Xiang Yu only felt the uneven ground beneath his feet as he was led; they walked for about half an hour and finally stopped.

One of them also pulled off the black cloth from Xiang Yu’s eyes.

Xiang Yu couldn’t immediately adjust to the brightness and quickly shut his eyes.

“Xiang Yu, is it really you?” Just then, someone called out in surprise; it was the same person who had been on the phone earlier.

After saying this, the person laughed heartily without any inhibition, seemingly in a much better mood upon seeing Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu could swear he had never heard this person’s voice before.

As he gradually got used to the brightness, he finally opened his eyes to take a look at his surroundings.

The area, though wide, was uneven and pitted; they were probably inside the mountain that had been hollowed out.

Xiang Yu glanced again at the person standing in front of him, only to see that this man was of average height, dressed in gray clothing, holding a feather fan in his hand, looking like some kind of hermit sage.

But to Xiang Yu, this punk was nothing more than a poser through and through.

“Do you know me?” Xiang Yu asked, certain he didn’t recognize the person, thus he asked curiously.

“Not only do I know you, but we’re also quite familiar.” The man laughed unscrupulously once again, then as if suddenly realizing something, he looked at Xiang Yu and said, “No, that’s not right.

I know you, but you probably don’t know me.”

Xiang Yu couldn’t be bothered to waste his time bantering with this poser and went straight to the point, “Where’s my brother?”

“Who would have thought that we’d meet here.” The man ignored Xiang Yu’s question and continued, “You might not recognize me, my name is Zhuge Tian.

Turns out we’re from the same hometown.”

Upon hearing the name, Xiang Yu suddenly remembered that he had killed a boss named Qian Meiduo.

By Qian Meiduo’s side, there was a military advisor named Zhuge Tian.

When he eliminated Qian Meiduo, this Zhuge Tian disappeared without a trace, and Xiang Yu hadn’t paid much attention to it.

After all, what sort of military advisor; they were all insignificant figures to Xiang Yu, and he didn’t bother with them.

Surprisingly, here he was, appearing before him, and from the looks of it, he seemed to hold a high status.

“If Qian Meiduo had taken my advice back then, he wouldn’t have ended up being killed.

I had wanted to kill you that day, but just couldn’t find the right opportunity.

Now, Xiang Yu realized that the man with the feather fan in front of him was a defeated underling from his past, now seemingly recruited by someone else and living quite the comfortable life.

“Life’s a play, who would have thought we have such fate with each other,” Zhuge Tian smirked, fanning himself with the feather fan.

Looking at his disgusting demeanor, he probably thought of himself as Zhuge Liang.

“Just spit it out, what exactly do you want?” Xiang Yu didn’t like his poser attitude and pressed.

“The boss had ordered me to kill anyone who breaks in here on purpose, but you, you’re different.

I really admire you, admire your abilities.

You’re not like Qian Meiduo—a fool.

Following him was a waste of my talent.

Now, the new boss appreciates my abilities; this is truly the place to realize my ambitions.

If you join us, with your abilities, you could perfectly take up the position of head of the squad, commanding the brothers beneath you.

And with my counsel, together we could assist the big boss, the road ahead would be smooth.”

Zhuge Tian rambled on as if by Xiang Yu joining, the whole world would be theirs.

It must be said, Zhuge Tian’s gift of gab was quite impressive; if he wasn’t in sales, it would be a waste of his talents.

Xiang Yu appeared astonished, “Are you for real?

Can I really join?

Can I really be the head of the squad?”

“Of course, as long as I recommend you, securing the position of squad head won’t be difficult,” Zhuge Tian confidently said.

After listening, Xiang Yu seemed contemplative, as if swayed by the other party’s words.

Zhuge Tian, seeing this opportunity, quickly said, “What’s so good about Zhong Huashan?

That man is arrogant and domineering, not giving a damn about the brothers at all.

To tell you the truth, you’re not the first one to come and try to save him.

Before you, many have risked their lives coming here, but I eliminated them all, not leaving a single trace.

The reason I have high hopes for you is partly because we’re fellow villagers; we should look out for each other out here in the world.

Our past minor grudges were all because of Qian Meiduo, and now that you’ve killed him, the grudge is settled.

We could completely establish a huge base of our own in a foreign land.

What do you think?”
