Chapter 128 Meeting Liu Bang
Judging from the clothes and appearance of the other person, Tang Yu could guess their identity at a glance.
Yes, the other party is most likely Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
To be honest, the artist who painted that portrait was really skilled; it's no wonder it's a painting selected by Jiuzu Yanxuan.
If the drawing is even slightly off, your entire family will be executed along with you. How could it be that you lack skill?
This portrait of Liu Bang is indeed extremely similar to his actual appearance.
Tang Yu looked up and saw that among the group of thugs, he had an aura that was a whole level above the other thugs.
If other hooligans could be considered petty criminals, then Liu Bang seemed completely out of place among them.
There is a strong sense of disconnect.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he was able to seize power despite being just a minor official in Pei County.
As expected, the other party chuckled upon arrival and quickly ran towards Xiao He.
"Brother Xiao He, you're finally back."
When Xiao He saw Liu Bang, he could not hide his excitement.
He introduced it to Tang Yu, who was standing to the side.
"My esteemed advisor, this is one of my good friends in Pei County, the village head Liu Bang."
Tang Yu nodded; he really was an old rogue.
When Liu Bang ran up to Xiao He, he gave Xiao He a big bear hug, and then the two looked at each other excitedly.
"How did it go? Xiao He, you passed the exam!"
Upon hearing this, the people around also realized what was happening.
"Yes."
This Xiao He went to Xianyang to participate in the selection and assessment of secretaries and officials.
To this day, they have not asked Xiao He whether he passed the exam or not.
So, did he pass the exam or not?
Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao He.
Xiao He, enjoying the gazes of these people, felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
Isn't this exactly what he came for during this assessment?
After scanning the people around him, Xiao He spoke confidently and loudly.
"Yes, I passed the exam and became a secretary official in the Qin state."
"In a few days, I will be leaving Pei County for Xianyang City to receive my appointment."
"Ah, great! He really passed the exam. Doesn't that mean Xiao He has become an official?"
"I never imagined that there were other ways to become an official besides military merit."
"Yes, that's really amazing."
"He passed the exam! Xiao He passed the exam!"
Everyone looked at Xiao He with excitement.
It's not that they were laughing or happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Rather, they genuinely felt that if one of their close friends was an official, things would be much easier for them.
At this point, the news began to spread like wildfire throughout the small county of Pei.
At this moment, Liu Bang and Xiao He held hands, their eyes filled with tears.
After his excitement subsided, Liu Bang looked at Tang Yu standing to the side.
"I wonder who this is?"
Seeing the other party's polite demeanor, Tang Yu nodded.
To be fair, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was said to have come from a rogue background, but could he have conquered the world without some real ability?
Moreover, he is famous in history for his ability to recognize and utilize talent and his imperial wisdom, which is something that ordinary people can't compare to.
Just as Liu Bang was about to speak, Tang Yu stepped forward and spoke.
"Greetings, Brother Liu. I am Zhao Zilong, a good friend whom Brother Xiao He met in Xianyang."
"Zhao Zilong?"
Upon hearing the name Xianyang, Liu Bang's eyes involuntarily darted around.
For their remote Pei County, Xianyang City was simply a fairytale world.
Neither its economy nor its level of prosperity can compare to Peixian.
This person came from Xianyang City, and judging from his attire, he must have come from a wealthy and noble family.
If I could win this person's favor, I thought that if I wanted to accomplish something in the future, it would be a piece of cake.
Even if one wanted to settle down in Xianyang City, it wouldn't be a problem.
If Tang Yu knew what Liu Bang was thinking, he would definitely burst out laughing.
Thinking of settling down in Xianyang? You could have just let me know.
I guarantee you'll be confined to Xianyang City for the rest of your life, never to leave even for a moment!
After the three finished exchanging pleasantries, Liu Bang pulled two others towards a restaurant for drinks.
Because there is only one large restaurant in Pei County, and it is quite famous.
Although they were hooligans, they all owned some property.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with going to a restaurant.
Seeing Liu Bang's overly familiar manner and his close interaction with Tang Yu, it was astonishing.
Xiao He watched in trepidation.
After all, Tang Yu's true identity is the Grand Preceptor of the Qin State, who is second only to the emperor.
Where have I ever had such contact with hooligans in my daily life?
He was a little worried.
If Tang Yu were to be displeased by any action or word of Liu Bang, and were to be beheaded by Liu Bang at a moment's notice, then Liu Bang would have no recourse.
However, he discovered that Tang Yu was not angry at all, but instead looked at Liu Bang with a smile.
That's strange, really strange!
He had a premonition that Tang Yu seemed to have some kind of connection with Liu Bang.
They even came to Pei County with the intention of finding Liu Bang.
……
"Boss! Quickly bring me the best wine and food. My brother Xiao He has returned today, and he has also brought our distinguished guest, Brother Zilong, from Xianyang City."
He then spoke to a thug following behind him.
"Go to Fan Kuai's house and ask him to send some of the best pork to this restaurant. We'll eat together then."
Upon hearing this, the younger brother quickly left.
Tang Yu watched the other person's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh.
It must be said that this small county of Pei has produced so many figures who are renowned in history.
It can only be said that acquired experience is more important than innate talent.
Both Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang proved this point by using their respective teams.
If one can gain enough experience and training later in life, it is much more important than innate talent.
Didn't they build their empire by relying on their own initial team in that small local area?
I've heard that Fan Kuai is also a brave and valiant man, but Tang Yu has no desire to compete with him at this moment.
It is said that in later generations, on the battlefield, Fan Kuai was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu couldn't even hold out for long against himself, let alone his defeated foe Fan Kuai.
After the three of them sat down, the entire restaurant became lively.
People who knew Xiao He regularly began to flock to the restaurant, after all, Xiao He had just become an official.
It's not impossible for one person to attain enlightenment and for all their relatives and friends to benefit from it; how could they not be excited?
Even the county magistrate of Pei County rushed over at this time.
"Xiao He, I heard you passed the exam?"
Xiao He nodded, while the county magistrate sighed.
“You were already quite talented in our county, and now your talents have finally come to fruition.”
