It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

The sixth day of eight

In the dark prison cell, the sound of water dripping by drop aroused chills in the pores.The frosty wind filtered in through the narrow iron windows, blowing the torches on the wall swaying.

In the extreme silence, you can occasionally hear dull and sporadic footsteps overhead, outside light leaking through the gaps in the wooden boards, dust leaking from the sun, and creaking sounds.

Li Xian moved a little, and a heartbreaking pain came from his wrist.The iron chains were extremely strong. It was not easy for these Zhao people to catch him just now. It took more than ten soldiers. Now they were afraid that he would break free.

So his wrist was almost nailed to the cane.

A bucket of cold water poured down from his head without stopping. The water mixed with his hair and the black cloth covering his head. From top to bottom, his thin clothes were soaked through, and the lines on his skin were faintly visible.

The person pouring the water was slightly shocked. This was snow water poured from outside. The Qin thief didn't struggle too much.

"Tsk, it's been four or five hours now and you still haven't woken up?"

The speaker stood at a distance to avoid water stains on his clothes.

Could it be that Han Cang didn't know whether he was awake or not? He just said this, then glanced at the prisoner darkly, and said to the people around him: "Wash him a few times to see if he is still unconscious?"

The person who received the order picked up the sharp whip, blew the wind cleanly, and hit him naked. The torturer seemed to be particularly good at this method. When the whip fell, he dragged it on the person and then lifted it up, then dropped it again, and whipped him again.

One whip, two whips, until the tenth whip.

The restrained man finally reacted normally, and he let out a dull groan.

A subordinate officer moved to Hancang's side and said, "Sir, are we really not going to tell the king?"

"The Prime Minister went through a lot of trouble to get him here from Lord Pingyang. The Prime Minister said he would treat him well."

Han Cang deliberately told Li Xian this. In fact, he had not told Guo Kai yet that Li Xian's people had been transported from Pingyang Jun's mansion to his secret room.

Only then did Li Xian understand the fundamental reason why Dunrui died of illness soon after returning from Zhao to Qin.In this life, he suffered on his behalf, so he should be able to extend the old man's life for a few more years.

He never thought about when he became so soft-hearted?This doesn't look like my true self at all.

Just because Zhao Ren threatened to kill the mother and daughter if the owner didn't come out, the girl's neck already had blood marks.

Li Xian felt that his life was too vague. He actually cared about whether others would suffer, and even cared about the life and death of a commoner, a stranger with whom he had no interaction.

The pain in his body was also incomprehensible to him. Only the pain reminded him that he was still alive.

"It's useless for you to imprison me." Li Xian said this calmly.

Han Cang did not hear the prisoners shouting for mercy, because he could easily succumb, so he especially hated such strong-willed people.

So he impatiently lifted off the black cloth covering the other person's face, and because of the large movement, he also took off the hair tie that bound his hair.

He wanted to take a closer look, what was the Qin man like under his face?The bones that have been whipped ten times are still so hard?

The man lowered his head helplessly, his long hair flowing into strands of ice water and scattered from his shoulders.

Han Cang finally felt condescending.

As a result, instead of being as rough as he imagined, what caught his eye was a pair of fox-like eyes, with slightly red eyes, but a rather stiff expression, and the unruly eyes melted away the originally evil facial features.

The last time his breathing was so stagnant was when he saw Zhang Liang.

"Oh, why would the Qin ambassador say that he is useless?" Han Cang narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder the princess of Qin kept thinking about it, "Your Majesty is worth more than ten thousand gold."

Li Xian was in an extremely embarrassed state, with a lot of blood stains on his body, but his tone and eyes made him look nothing like a prisoner.

"The Han family should think about its own use. Don't let your wealth and life be tied to destruction."

Han Cang took a step back and said warily: "What do you know?"

Li Xian looked at the various restraints on his hands, "Does Han Jialing think this is a place for conversation?"

"Han is doing things for others. I am not the one who caught you and tortured you. If you want to blame me in the future, you should also blame these people." Han Cang paused for a while, "My lord, you should thank Han."

Han Cang's ability to pin the blame on Guo Kai and Zhao Li was really top-notch.

"My lord has a problem with the Prime Minister. What do you think the Prime Minister will do to you?"

Han Cang didn't listen to what Li Xian was going to say next. He just wanted Li Xian to realize that the only person who could save his life in Handan was himself.

Han Cang walked out of the secret room.

"Master Han, how should we tell the Prime Minister?"

"Have you forgotten how hard the people outside are looking for him? Of course they want to hold him in their hands."

"What do you mean, sir, not to tell the prime minister?"

"When did I say that? When can a person best remember the kindness of others?"

Han Cang watched a snowflake disappear and smiled to himself, "It's not a time of crisis, but a time of humiliation."

Qin hills

An arrow was shot from the crossbow in her hand, breaking through the wind and piercing the tree trunk. It was more powerful and sharp than the previous few days.

"Princess."

Xu Zhi turned around and asked in detail, "How's it going? Is there any news from Han Cang?"

"Han Cang only said that Lord Pingyang captured many Qin people from Handan City."

Xu Zhi frowned, "Who is Lord Pingyang?"

"Uncle of Zhao Wangqian."

Zhang Liang held a bamboo joint in his hand and climbed up from the path in the forest.

She became increasingly uneasy. Could it be that Han Cang was colluding with Guo Kaihang? He still had his own plans. This information was made clear and he didn't want to say more.

Zhang Liang continued: "Han Cang's words are probably asking for a price."

She shot another arrow, turned sideways and said to A Zhi: "Please ask Li You to tell Han Cang, it doesn't matter ten thousand gold, He Hua just wants to make a personal exchange with the family order. If Li Xian cannot come back alive, he will wait for Qin's death." As for Lu's responsibility, he can choose whether to crush or cook."

The frosty wind blew and rustled in the forest. Although it was not as cold as Guxiakou, Ying Hehua's words made Zhang Liang feel a cruel and deep cold.

"Yes." A Zhi left in response.

Crush or kill?Her understatement completely ignored Qin's strict rules, which made his heart feel empty.

Xu Zhi looked up and saw Zhang Liang's slightly pale face, and saw him coughing into fists.

How could she have thought at this time that Zhang Liang would be frail and sick due to old injuries due to his trip to Yongcheng.I thought it was in accordance with historical records that it was normal for Zhang Liang to be thin.

Xu Zhi sighed, and when she was about to pass him a handkerchief, she thought of what she said some time ago, and she stopped moving forward in an instant.

"It's been snowing heavily these days. If you're not feeling well, just stay in the tent. Why do you need to go out?"

"For the princess's plan."

She looked at him, and Zhang Liang quickly lowered his eyes.

He took out a long-awaited copper from his sleeve.

"Here is the defense plan." "I have read it in advance. This is indeed Li Mu's handwriting. There is no doubt that it is fake."

"Really?"

She took it in surprise and unfolded it. The ancient map showed south and north, and everything that should be marked was marked on the yellowed silk.

Zhang Liang said: "I have handed it over to General Wang Jian for inspection. He and other generals are having military discussions. We will summon Xianyang at night. If there is no objection, we can mobilize the army tomorrow."

This means that as long as Li Xian survives today and the war starts tomorrow, Han Cang and Guo Kai will never dare to touch him, no matter how much they have their own thoughts.

She just begged Li Xian not to have anything happen to him today.

At this time, a soldier from the army came and said:

"Your Royal Highness, the eldest son has important matters to discuss, so he won't play chess with the princess today."

"it is good."

After the soldiers left, they only heard Zhang Liang say: "The proposal to abolish the beheading has been agreed by the king. The princess said that the world will be peaceful, and Liang Ke can agree with it."

In the forest with thick snow on the branches, she saw him finally bowing and standing in front of her.

She smiled the most genuine and relaxed smile she had seen in a long time.She couldn't sleep all night because of Li Xian's uneasiness, and finally had a moment to breathe.

She looked at the album carefully again and felt a little at a loss.

As long as they enter Handan City, Li Xian can be saved, Fusu and Zhang Han can achieve military success, and the past events between Zheng Li and Ying Zheng will be solved one by one.

She had never felt that the sky was so clear, and she couldn't help but hug her counselor and thank him for joining her.

"I can rest assured that you can handle things."

Zhang Liang's waist tightened.

For just a short second, he suddenly stagnated, as if a fish suddenly jumped out of a long stream, and the fish's tail stirred in the water, splashing in his heart.

His hands were hanging empty on both sides, and Ying Hehua had let go of him.

Zhang Liang saw her walking in front of him.

Does her excitement come more from his surrender, or from the fact that Handan is about to be destroyed, or because Li Xian can come back?

"If there is no other objection, my father will be on his way. At that time, I will find an official position for my husband that is higher than that of the young master."

"I don't have much official position, so that's fine."

No one would think that a 20-year-old would refuse an opportunity to make a difference.

"That's wrong. Sir, you should be in a high position. You can believe that Da Qin can afford it."

He saw her smiling at him, with white snow covering her hair.

Under the clear snowflakes, there was only her, a transparent and sincere but elusive heart.

And Snowflake doesn't tell people.

The most unbearable thing for people who are suffering in the cold winter is the sudden fire.

Including war.

It is true that the city of Handan was destroyed, and it is also true that he fought to the death.

The seventh day of eight, morning

Mugo was going crazy.

He had been lurking next to Guo Kai for several years. Before Dun Rui came to Zhao, he came to Handan as a spy under Li Xian's arrangement.

Now, Dun Rui is out of the city, and his only online person does not know whether he is alive or dead!

If Li Xian died, wouldn't he become a kite with broken strings?

He once felt that the only person who cared most about whether Li Xian was still alive was no one else but him.Since Li Xian's subordinate officials were handed over to King Zhao by Zhao Li as envoys from Qin, King Zhao began to make peace again.

Guo Kai came to Han Cang's secret room that night.

"Why can't Mr. Li live in Xunyang and come to Handan?"
