Chapter 512: Xiang Yu takes over the north and rests to recuperate?

Yi Xiaochuan looked at the tightly closed stone door, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Now that things have come to this, let's evacuate here first. However, you have to guard this place well and don't let anyone else get close. Also, remember to tell Gao Yao about the situation, maybe he knows where the key is. Maybe he can think of other ways to open this door."

"If we really use explosives to forcefully blast it, I'm afraid everything inside will collapse instantly. By then, no matter what Gao Yao wants to get, it will all be in vain." In order to prevent Yang Shuo from turning around and blasting the stone door again, Yi Xiaochuan still reminded Yang Shuo,

Although Yang Shuo, as Gao Yao's loyal warrior, had already put his life and death aside, he knew that he had a great mission. If he failed in his mission due to rash actions, he would not only fail to complete the important task entrusted to him by Gao Yao, but would also bring great trouble to Gao Yao, a result he absolutely did not want to see. Therefore, before finding a foolproof method, he decided to follow Yi Xiaochuan's advice and retreat first before making any plans.

On the way out, Yi Xiaochuan remained highly alert and cautious. After all, there were still many traps along the way, especially those hidden in the dark. With every step he took, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, paying attention to any unusual sounds or movements.

Not only that, Yi Xiaochuan was always on guard against whether Yang Shuo would suddenly attack him. After all, now that they had found the imperial tomb, and according to Yi Xiaochuan's speculation, Yang Shuo was very likely to choose to kill him at this moment. In this narrow cave and secret passage, the space was extremely limited. If Yang Shuo and others attacked together, Yi Xiaochuan would probably find it difficult to deal with them because of their advantages of being numerous and good at assassination.

The reason why the death squads are so difficult to deal with is because they are fearless and unafraid of death. Once the fight starts, as long as one of them can successfully restrict Yi Xiaochuan's movements, the others will launch a crazy attack without hesitation. Faced with such a situation, even if Yi Xiaochuan is extraordinary, it is difficult to resist.

Fortunately for Yi Xiaochuan, the things he was worried about did not really happen before leaving the cave. Gao Yao did not want Yi Xiaochuan to die at the hands of others. The reason why Yi Xiaochuan was not killed before was because Yi Xiaochuan was in Longxi area at that time, not in the southern border. Although it was not difficult to kill Yi Xiaochuan lying on the bed, it was not easy to bring his body back to the southern border intact. Besides, the Chu army was not a pushover. If they found out that Yi Xiaochuan had died like this, it would be a loss if Gao Yao could not do it himself.

At this time, Gao Yao was very confident. He didn't need to worry that Yi Xiaochuan would hide his whereabouts and disappear from now on. After all, the purpose of arranging Yi Xiaochuan to find the imperial tomb was to let Yi Xiaochuan know all the relevant matters. As long as Yi Xiaochuan understood the inside story, he would be as anxious as himself to uncover the mysteries hidden behind the imperial tomb and the mysterious star. In this way, Yi Xiaochuan would sooner or later show up and return, and then Gao Yao would be able to deal with Yi Xiaochuan personally. This was Gao Yao's purpose.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu led the powerful Chu army and successfully conquered Xiabei. If they acted rashly again at this moment, they would most likely have a fierce conflict with Zhao Xie who occupied Shangjun.

Fortunately, since the two sides had cooperated before and there was still a trace of affection between them, no actual action has been taken to attack Shangjun. However, it is worth noting that since the Chu army started its army in Kuaiji, it has experienced countless bloody battles and traveled through many places before arriving in Beidi. Now the team is already exhausted and exhausted. Not only that, the long march and fighting, coupled with being in a foreign land, and many other problems have come one after another, making the overall state of the army poor. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to allow the troops to get enough rest and recuperate to wait for the next day's battle.

At this moment, in the mansion where Xiang Yu temporarily resided, there was silence, only the whistling sound of the wind caused by Xiang Yu wielding his weapon. He was naked from the waist up, sweat pouring down his body, but the spear in his hand kept dancing, as if it had merged with him. Every time he thrust out and retracted it, it was with the force of thunder and lightning, which was terrifying.

Since he settled here, Xiang Yu has been training his martial arts day and night, seemingly never tired and without any intention of stopping. Except when he was on the battlefield killing the enemy, he devoted almost all his energy to the refinement of his skills.

Compared with the original Xiang Yu in history, his martial arts skills have improved to a higher level. The reason for this is obvious - it is the huge pressure exerted by Gao Yao. As we all know, Xiang Yu in history was the peak representative of martial arts value in that era, and his praise of "unparalleled in ancient and modern times" is not an empty statement. His martial arts are so strong that ordinary people can't reach it.

If any of Xiang Yu's generals, such as Ying Bu and Long Ju, were placed in the outside world, they would be at the peak of their powers! Even if they were placed in any period of the future, they might have the ability to compete for the throne of the world's number one. In this moment of great fortune, even strong people like Long Ju and Ying Bu were still firmly suppressed by Xiang Yu and could not even compare to him.

In the several battles with Gao Yao, when they first met, Gao Yao was actually timid about fighting Xiang Yu and didn't even have the courage to try. But unexpectedly, when they met for the second time and started a fierce chase, the situation had changed drastically. At this time, Gao Yao's strength increased greatly, and he was able to fight Xiang Yu to a draw. Although Xiang Yu still had a slight advantage, it was not easy to defeat Gao Yao easily. And this period was only about five years.

Time flies, and when they met for the third time, more than three years had passed since the last time. Although this battle was interfered by many external factors, which led to Xiang Yu's final defeat, he knew in his heart that if these additional factors were excluded, the strength comparison between him and Gao Yao would have reached a point of being evenly matched.

This series of changes and encounters was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Xiang Yu, who was always arrogant and self-righteous. He could not accept that the person he once regarded as a nobody could now compete with him. Therefore, after parting at Kuaiji, Xiang Yu resolutely abandoned his arrogant mentality of looking down on all the generals in the world. From then on, he devoted more time and energy to the daily practice of martial arts, and the effort he spent was many times more than before.
