To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

Chapter 376 Xiang Yu is furious, and the army camp is in an uproar!

"Don't be hasty, envoy." Xiang Liang laughed heartily, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

He turned his head and gave a wink to his trusted guards behind him.

The guard understood immediately and turned to walk deeper into the tent.

Before long, he came out with an extremely exquisite sandalwood box in both hands and respectfully placed it in front of Xiang Liang.

All eyes inside the tent were fixed on the wooden box.

In front of the envoy, Xiang Liang unlocked the wooden box and lifted the lid.

Inside the wooden box was a silk lining, and on top of the silk lay a sheepskin scroll.

On the cover of the scroll, four large characters were written in Qin seal script!

The Sunflower Manual!

Although the Xiongnu envoy did not recognize the Central Plains script, he knew that this was no ordinary item, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Xiang Liang reached out and picked up the scroll, gently stroking it, and sighed, "Envoy, although the original 'Sunflower Manual' was taken away by that vile woman Mi Yueyao!"

It even led to him being forced to wander the world!

But my Xiang clan, after countless hardships, finally found a portion of it and, relying on memory, reproduced and copied this incomplete scroll!

Xiang Liang pushed the scroll directly in front of the envoy and said solemnly, "This is an unparalleled martial art!"

Today, I, Xiang Liang, present this rubbing of the "Sunflower Manual" as a gift to the Great Chanyu. I urge the envoy to accept it!

The envoy's breathing became heavy as he looked at the peerless manual before him.

The Xiongnu people revered martial prowess. If the Great Chanyu mastered this unparalleled martial art from the Central Plains, wouldn't he be greatly rewarded?

"Oh dear, Lord Xiang, you're too kind! I can't accept this!"

The envoy made excuses, but his hands gripped the scroll of the "Sunflower Manual" tightly in his arms, his face beaming with joy, his wrinkles crinkling together.

"Rest assured, Lord Xiang!"

The envoy patted his chest and confidently assured him, "Leave this to me! I will definitely speak well of Xiang Gong before the Great Chanyu when I return!"

That bitch named Mi Yueyao, the Great Chanyu is determined to have her!

"At that time, even if we have to use force, we'll make sure the Great Qin sends her to the Great Chanyu's tent!"

"Haha, then thank you very much, envoy! At that time, when we launched our uprising in the heart of the Central Plains, we still needed the Great Chanyu's cooperation in the north to contain the main force of the Qin army!"

"No problem, no problem! We're all brothers!"

Inside the tent, Xiang Liang, the Xiongnu envoy, and Ji Dan, who was wearing a mask, exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

……

As evening approached, night fell completely.

The temperature in the valley plummeted, and water froze instantly.

After Xiang Liang personally entertained the envoy and his entourage with fine wine and meat, he ordered that they be arranged to rest in the guest tent.

At the other end of the camp, on an empty drill ground.

"boom!"

A deafening roar.

A bronze cauldron was lifted overhead by a figure and then slammed onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

That figure was none other than Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.

At this moment, Xiang Yu was shirtless.

Despite the frigid weather, his muscles were steaming with heat.

"call……"

Xiang Yu exhaled a long breath, ending a day of training.

As his desire to raise an army grew stronger, he trained his body and bones frantically every day, hoping that one day he could personally cut off Ying Zheng's head.

He grabbed a linen garment and draped it over himself, picked up his halberd, and strode toward his tent.

Just as Xiang Yu reached the central position of the camp, his steps suddenly halted.

He suddenly turned his head to look at a camp not far away.

Several burly men wrapped in heavy animal hides were seen coming out of the tent to relieve themselves.

They spoke in a gibberish-sounding foreign language, pointing and gesturing at the passing Chu soldiers with unbridled savagery and arrogance in their eyes.

"The Xiongnu?"

Xiang Yu's double pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes instantly turned blood red.

How could this group of barbarians have infiltrated his Great Chu camp, the core of the resistance against the tyrannical Qin?

Without any hesitation, Xiang Yu picked up his halberd and strode straight toward the Xiongnu men.

The murderous aura emanating from him sent a chill down the spines of the Huns who were urinating, causing them to turn away in fear.

Just as Xiang Yu was about to lash out, a patrol of Chu army generals rushed over and blocked his way.

"Young General, please calm down! You mustn't!"

The general lowered his voice and said anxiously, "These are envoys sent by the Xiongnu Chanyu, honored guests personally welcomed into the camp by Xiang Yu. We must not kill them!"

"Distinguished guest?"

Xiang Yu shoved aside the general blocking his way, laughing in fury, "These savage beasts, who eat raw meat and drink blood, have been raiding my people in the Central Plains every year, killing my compatriots and humiliating my women! And you, Uncle, actually treat them as honored guests?"

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Xiang Yu turned around abruptly, grabbed his halberd, and charged toward Xiang Liang's central command tent.

"Bang!"

Without even announcing his arrival, Xiang Yu kicked the wooden door and tent flap together, sending them flying.

Inside the tent, Xiang Liang was reviewing intelligence from various places when he was startled by the sudden loud noise and jumped up, gripping his sword hilt.

Upon seeing that it was Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang's face instantly darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Ji'er! What's wrong with you?! Have you no manners?!"

Xiang Yu strode into the tent, his double pupils fixed intently on Xiang Liang. "Uncle! What exactly is going on with those Xiongnu barbarians outside?"

Xiang Liang looked at his angry nephew with a furrowed brow. Knowing Xiang Yu's temper, he could only patiently explain, "They are envoys sent by the Xiongnu Chanyu."

Today they have sent a thousand warhorses and three thousand sets of fine armor to support our uprising.

"Are you funding our uprising?"

Xiang Yu's eyes blazed with fury as he pointed outside the tent and roared, "Uncle! We are the people of Chu! We are the proud descendants of the Chinese nation!"

We raise the banner of rebellion to overthrow the tyrannical Qin Dynasty and to restore the glory of our Great Chu! This is our own family affair!

As Xiang Yu spoke, he became more and more agitated, approaching Xiang Liang step by step: "What are the Xiongnu? They are uncivilized barbarians, worse than beasts!"

They covet my Central Plains and wish they could turn us all into slaves!

Uncle, you're actually going to collude with these beasts for a few horses and a few pieces of tattered armor? You're asking a tiger for its skin! You're inviting wolves into the house!

"shut up!"

Xiang Liang was also enraged by Xiang Yu's words, "What do you know? Do you think rebellion is child's play?"

Do you really think that with just your passion and the broken halberd in your hand, you can overthrow the Qin Dynasty with its million-strong army?

Xiang Liang stepped out from behind the desk, his tone cold, "We only have these eight thousand men from Jiangdong now! But Great Qin has the Great Wall Legion, the Lingnan Legion, and a fierce army that swept across the six kingdoms!"

Without the Xiongnu to tie down the main Qin army in the north, we would only be defeated if we launched an uprising!
