It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Li Xian thought that he knew Jing Ke far before anyone else.

As everyone knows, he still came too late.

too late.

Not long after Li Xian returned to the house, he heard the meow of the Persian cat. The white long-haired cat rubbed against the edge of Li Xian's robe, and the black edge was immediately covered with cat hair.

"You are so alive and kicking, so leave her medicine to those who need it."

The opposite door of the inner palace opened, and he never thought that Li Si was waiting for him.

"came back?"

"Father." Li Xian handed over his hand.

Under the swaying candlelight, the two people talked, and their figures were reflected on the large water-patterned bamboo and stone screen, pulling out two orange-red and transparent shadows, like a dialogue between two time and space.

"Father, don't worry, Han Fei is still alive."

Li Xian knew what Li Si wanted to know from Xu Zhi, so he went straight to the point.

Unexpectedly, Li Si just said hello warmly and drank the wine in his hand, without any major emotional ups and downs.

Li Xian thought that on the night when he knelt outside the door, Ying Zheng told his father the news about Han Fei.

And this time, it should be the second time his father learned about it.

When Li Si was leaning over to pour wine, he heard his son's blunt words and once again implemented them, his wine glass couldn't help but slosh some wine.

Li Si handed a glass of wine to Li Xian with one hand and changed the subject: "Princess Hehua has worked hard for me. It will not be easy in the future."

Li Xian's eyes darkened, he was afraid that what he was worried about would still happen.

My father has always been a person who seeks benefits and avoids disasters.He will not easily let his control fall into the hands of others.What's more, Li Si is not yet in his old age, and is still clear-headed.If Li Si didn't like being stared at by Xu Zhi, with Li Si's methods and Xu Zhi's style of playing cards, he could easily be kicked out.

Li Xian knew that his father's question meant that she was extremely intelligent.

"...The princess has cared about my father and Han Fei for a long time. I wonder if my father still remembers that the princess helped us when we returned to Xianyang from Lishan Mountain."

Li Xian had never told Li Si about Xu Zhi's trick to lure Wang Wan as the messenger. When he mentioned it now, he was directly exposing the truth.Instead of pretending not to know anything, it is better to show her wanton attitude. With her status at this moment, as long as she does not leave the Qin State, no one can touch her.

When Li Si saw Li Xian's reaction, he just smiled. His tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words was stormy.

"Ying Hehua is the king's favorite princess and the eldest son's biological sister. She killed Zhao Jia, provoked Yan Dan, provoked Mi Qi, and dared to threaten Wang Wan and appoint Meng Tian as a guard. This willful and reckless behavior is unlike the king's last year. They were similar when they were young. If she could take the son of the Prime Minister of Han into his family, the king would not let her live in the palace for a long time in the future. Qin is a big country, and the use of officials and workers is not limited to men. If she wants to get involved in politics, How much of the advantage she has is yet to be determined.”

"Father, please make it clear." Li Xian still chose to remain calm.

Li Si held the wine cup in his hand and glanced at him lightly. After all, he still couldn't bear to hurt his son, so he just said lightly: "You should help her find a way to travel as she pleases, instead of being restricted by the gains and losses in front of her. .”

After Li Si finished speaking, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Be it Zhao Gao, Zhang Liang, or Yan Dan, they are only insignificant, how can they fight against the future Great Qin?"

Li Xian had never seen Li Si show such a gentle smile in his life and tell such kind of jokes only when he was young.

"You have to be restrained occasionally. Xianyang is not the land of Shu. Even if the little princess doesn't shy away from it, you should remember that no matter what, you are a minister."

Looking at his father's back.

Li Xian still felt a little unreal dizzy.

-

The hills in the distance are a continuous line, and two bifurcated roads extend out.

Yan Dan took off his bamboo hat, and Tian Guang brought a young man in front of him.

This is what Yan Dan believed in theory, it was the first time he saw Jing Ke.

Although it was the first time I wanted to meet him, it seemed that the moment Jing Ke looked at him, he felt the power of the word fate again.

Even though the road back to the motherland is so bumpy, there is no perfect way.

Destiny brought Tian Guang in front of him, and he established his own hope for life.

And now, Jing Ke meets him at this time.

Yan Dan knew very well that she needed Jing Ke.

He was also quite confident in the swordsman who helped him avoid Qin Bing's sight.

This person can be used to his advantage.And he will be of great use in the future.

Because Yan Dan knows very well how to make a chivalrous person willing to sacrifice.

At this moment, Yan Dan's opportunity came.

He knew he only had this chance.

Clusters of branches swayed in the dark night.

Once the violent bumps and rumblings stopped, the dark night immediately became quiet.The horses panted heavily, sending a subtle tremor to the carriage, as if even the carriage was uneasy, and people in the darkness could hear their own heartbeats.

The man in the car was sitting upright, his hand unconsciously rubbing the hilt of the sword at his waist.

He ordered the soldiers to move forward and capture Prince Dan of Yan alive.

Capture alive! !

It was a windless but freezing dark night.

Yan Dan hid behind the huge stone mountain, listening to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer. There was no fear in his eyes and he began to laugh gradually. He seemed to be determined to take a step forward.

"King Qin will never let me go from beginning to end." Yan Dan smiled weakly. He tightened the sword at his waist and said sincerely to Tian Guang: "I am ready to go back."

Tian Guang's face was solemn, surprised and suspicious, and he looked at Jing Ke again. "Prince. We and Young Master Jing have finally reached this point. Are you willing to give up?"

The cold moon tonight hung upside down in Yan Dan's eyes, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, I lost."

After saying that, Yan Dan bowed to Tian Guang and Jing Ke with all his strength.

"I really don't understand you." Jing Ke looked at Yan Dan and asked strangely: "Didn't you say that you want freedom in this life? Freedom is right in front of you."

"Sir, do you know that since I was born, I have nothing to do with these two words." Yan Dan smiled self-deprecatingly. He looked at Jing Ke and said, "You have also seen that Ying Zheng launched such a large-scale battle. I will go back Please apologize so that it will not cause more immeasurable trouble."

Yan Dan's smile disappeared.

Just as he thought, Jing Ke held him back when he took a step forward.

"Humans still have the joy of life, but they have no desire to die. The trapped animals are still fighting, how about humans?" Jing Ke said.

"It turns out that I lied to you sir." Yan Dan turned around and spoke sincerely: "I did not escape from Qin for freedom, but to return to Yan."

Jing Ke was stunned for a moment.

Just listen to Yan Dan continue to say: "Qin has lost Han. Ying Zheng will go north to force Zhao, and attack south to threaten Chu. Once Zhao surrenders, Yan will be the chopping block."

"So Mr. Tian Guang said you need me?" Jing Ke asked.

"Maybe we need each other."

Jing Ke smiled, his mentor's words still ringing in his ears.

"The world is in great conflict, and the people are in dire straits. I am just a knight holding a sword. How can I need each other with your ideal of protecting the country, Prince?"

The voice just fell.

There was a sound like wind in the dark night.

-Whizzing--

The iron weapon came through the air.

Jing Ke is very sensitive to this sound!

This is the sound of a machine crossbow firing an arrow!It is a mechanism tool from the Mohist family in Korea.

It was dark and foggy between the rocks, blinding the eyes, and a woman suddenly appeared in their sight.

"Get him out of here quickly."

The woman's voice was very familiar, and he saw clearly the machine crossbow she was holding, and Jing Ke felt anxious like never before.

"Miss Ayao?" Tian Guang shouted her name faster.

Jing Ke was just about to ask her how she got here.

It was too late to speak.

Qin Bing has discovered them.

Then a dozen masked men emerged from the bushes, and some of them had already changed into the clothes of Yan Dan and Tian Guang.

"This is this?" Yan Dan couldn't guess the identity of the reinforcements who suddenly arrived. They were masked, and their buns were not dressed like Yan people, but looked like people from Han and Zhao.

This group of people bowed their hands to Tao Yao, and then introduced themselves, "I am the general of General Baoyuan, and I am willing to help the prince."

Fifty miles away, three fast horses rushed through the winding path, stepping on the winter shrubs, and filed out.

If nothing happens, Yan Dan will arrive at the shore of Yanshui in seven days.

Zhilan Palace

"The teacher didn't bring any books, and he ordered me to take so many books. He insisted on teaching the longest one. This is a bamboo slip, not a piece of paper. Six volumes! I can't finish them all in one go. What respect for teachers is there, and he obviously wants to punish me. .”

Xu Zhi searched for books for almost two hours. When she got the last bamboo slips in her hand, she was just about to continue cursing. This last bamboo slips had been backlogged for a long time. One of the warp threads suddenly collapsed, and all the bamboo slips woven with threads collapsed. Scattered to the ground.

"..."

Xu Zhi put the remaining five volumes on the desk and squatted down to pick them up, but his fingers were cut by a sharp bamboo blade.

"........."

She hissed, subconsciously pinched the jade pendant in her arms, and said to herself: "...He Hua, are you giving me a sign? Or is something happening?"

She tried to drop blood on the river map, but she didn't feel any warmth.

But as the blood spread on the jade pendant's lines, Xu Zhi increasingly felt a deep connection pulling her.

She seemed to see her grandfather again with his face covered in blood and his glasses frame with a broken lens.

A stream of air condensed in the air, and the hazy dizziness threatened to let her escape into the illusion of riding in the carriage with Ying Zheng again.

A voice pulled her back just in time.

"Howard?"

Xu Zhi was startled by the sound, and there was still a buzzing in her ears, like the pressure of a high-pressure airplane ride. She couldn't recover for a moment and fell to the ground.

She turned her head and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Zhang Liang.

"Zhang Liang! You walked too lightly, you scared me."

Xu Zhi yelled to cover up her soliloquy, hoping that he didn't hear what she just said. She thrust a piece of bamboo she was holding into his hand very sloppily.

"Here you go, the last roll. Anyway, this is all I have left."

As she said that, she pointed to the five volumes on the desk and said, "I've found them all, can I teach now?"

Zhang Liang saw Ying Hehua's helpless look, and felt that this was how he should behave like a student.

He smiled and just reached out his hand to help her.

But when he picked up the piece of bamboo in her hand, he found a few drops of bright red.

He pulled her hand over and took a look. He saw that the wound was on the side of the index finger. It was not deep but a little long, and it would not bleed too much. Why did the marks on the bamboo slip still look like squeezed blood?

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Xu Zhi was worried that he would see He Tu and ask questions that she couldn't answer.

She immediately withdrew her hand and complained: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't insisted on talking about "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", it wouldn't have been so hard to find. This book is placed in a hidden place, and the last volume is so long, okay? It was easy to find, but when I pulled hard, the rope broke.”

Xu Zhi raised her hand in front of him more vigorously, "See for yourself, it's such a long opening."

Zhang Liang frowned when he saw that the wounds on her hands were indeed long and dripping with blood.

He pulled her up from the ground and took her to the case. While taking out the medicine box, he said: "I have never seen a student like the princess. If you were scratched by a bamboo splinter and you didn't cry out that it hurt, why don't you tell me that it hurts?" What's the noise about?"

Xu Zhi also wanted to retort a few words.

Zhang Liang took out a very familiar medicine box that she had forced on him in Xinzheng. He opened the small drawer and took out a piece of soft cloth and a small bottle that looked like a medicine.

It's shameful to say that the medicine box she gave to Zhang Liang actually didn't contain a few medicines at all. In that sandalwood box, there were more regulations she wrote about how to deal with old ministers when Korea collapsed.

But now, Zhang Liang was bandaging her with the same threats she had used both soft and hard.

He has no medical skills and his techniques are naturally clumsy, so he looks extremely focused.

Xu Zhi admitted that Zhang Liang was very good-looking. For the first time, she felt that Zhang Liang was so pleasing to her eyes. When his soft eyes were not confronting her, he was even a little bit beguiling.

He was wearing the dark official uniform of the Qin State. Since he took off his official hat after entering the palace, he was old enough to be crowned. His bun was only tied with a long blue-gray hair tie, which made him even more elegant.

This is the only person besides her brother Fusu who has such a smooth and gentle temperament.

Xu Zhi's voice became softer for some reason. This was not a questioning tone: "What were you doing behind that row of bookcases just now? Are you seriously looking for the bamboo slips?"

Xu Zhi looked into Zhang Liang's calm and calm eyes.

He smiled calmly and said, "Yes."

"That's your bad luck, teacher. All six volumes are in my cabinet here."

How could Xu Zhi let him find the cabinet here? The things she wrote were hidden in it. If he saw it, it would be too troublesome to explain.

"Then Princess Scroll has been found and her injuries have been bandaged. Let's start the lecture."

"Ok."

Zhang Liang saw Ying Hehua showing her a very real smile for the first time.

She looked down at her fingers, "...it doesn't require so much cloth, and it's not a big injury."

Zhang Liang wanted to touch her hair gently to show comfort.

He just leaned over, but Xu Zhi suddenly raised his head. When their eyes met, Zhang Liang's hand hung awkwardly in the air.

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment because he acted like an elder teacher or a friend or brother.Her body is that of a child, but her soul is that of an adult.

She would not let the situation remain awkward. She supported the cushion, moved forward slightly, raised her body slightly, like a small fish testing He Hua, and the top of her head naturally came into contact with Zhang Liang's palm.

"Thank you."

She suddenly got closer to Zhang Liang, with two small dimples appearing on her clean, porcelain-white cheeks, her long eyelashes slightly curled, her eyes squinted, and her smile innocent.

Xu Zhi quickly sat back and picked up the slip to read as if nothing had happened.

It was only a second, but it took Zhang Liang a long time to recover.

However, Xu Zhi was busy looking for "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", a bamboo slip that was temporarily listed as a banned book in the palace.

Zhang Liangzheng passed the message to the attendant Bao Yuan through the Meiyuan of Zhilan Palace.
