It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

She walked past him and paused.

In the empty pavilion, he watched her follow Zhang Liang away, and even Li Zuoche naturally took Zhang Liang's hand. He squeezed the handle of the knife at his waist hard, his eyes getting darker.

I don't know how long he stood in the pavilion. When the flame under the earthen pot was about to go out, there was no trace of residual warmth left in the place where he had just been.

His gestures were not decisive, his words were not sharp swords, and the roses growing in the thorny jungle, standing tall and high, made him feel like thorns in his hands.

The people in the Secret Pavilion turned back just in time, "Mr. Mo said that after your Excellency returns to Xianyang, he will specially invite you to talk to me in the Zitong Forest on Zhongnan Mountain to clear up your confusion."

"Just a brief introduction." Li Xian thought carefully, "It seems like an old acquaintance."

The killer nodded and said: "Master Lu Lujian Sikong Ma has been searching for it for six years but to no avail. Do you want to continue searching?"

"There is no room for error in the king's important weapon. Keep searching. Also, Jing Ke's affairs in Shu will continue to be used as a cover. Don't let Yan Dan really find him."

"No," the killer continued, "Tingwei wants you to come over and discuss something important with you."

It was noon, Zhang Liang's shadow was on the snow, and Xu Zhi followed the shadow. They didn't say anything on the road and kept walking forward.

The scattered snowflakes penetrated the corridor, and Li Zuoche was led by Zhang Liang to walk very quickly.

The child turned his head from time to time, with his big dark eyes open, out of breath, "Sister Princess, can you please, uncle, walk slower?"

……

"How much did you hear, sir?" Xu Zhi really didn't want to play riddles with Zhang Liang.

"Yong'an." Zhang Liang's tone was not serious. He just stopped suddenly and turned his head.

Xu Zhi's heart sank, and she asked A-Zhi to take Li Zuoche away appropriately.

Zhang Liang stood under the snow eaves, wearing a green and white robe.

He glanced at her and said, "It's unbecoming for a princess to have her hair messed up like this."

After listening to him saying nothing for a long time, only talking about clothes and nothing else, Xu Zhi also said that it was okay not to explain too much. On the table, it made her a little embarrassed after all, and the more he talked, the more confused she became.

Xu Zhi subconsciously raised his hands to take care of it, and the red part of his wrist caught in Zhang Liang's eyes.

She has always had a domineering style. She had intentionally covered up the marks on her neck before, and today she had another argument with Li Xian in the pavilion.

Even though Li Xian was very scheming, he would not dare to treat the princess of a country like this.

Zhang Liang didn't know whether to ask her why.

Zhang Liang stopped and stared at her calmly.

Xu Zhi thought Zhang Liang was waiting for her to explain everything about her visit to the prison the day before yesterday.

"I was involved in Guo Kai's matter."

"Has the princess had lunch?"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and their words were of the same length.

"Let's go have a meal first." After Zhang Liang said that, he moved his eyes away from her and looked at the white sky.

Xu Zhi didn't know why he said he wanted to eat, but he didn't eat anything and kept drinking water.

It was rare that she had the leisure time to make something to drink. She accidentally drank too much and couldn't eat anything.

The meal was quickly gone.

Zhang Liang saw her distracted look and knocked on the table to draw her attention back.

"All the books I taught you were in vain."

She didn't hear very well. "gentlemen?"

Zhang Liang looked at her and said, "Guo Kai has his own people sent by the King of Qin to deal with it. You don't need to get involved."

Xu Zhi shook his head, thinking of Zhao Gao, "There are some people who can't do it. If he relies on his merit, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future."

"Even so, you can't come forward when it's not your turn." Zhang Liang's voice was like the jingle of a clear spring. "You want to get involved in military and political affairs before you are even old enough. To put it nicely, the King of Qin wants you to go and practice, but when others do In my eyes, I’m afraid you’ll be scolded for being too smart and too ambitious.”

"This is the judgment of the doctor. My father will not know everything about what I did. I only care about a few people in the court, and it does not affect the opportunities of the others."

"Do you know how many people will look at Zhang Han's unreasonable transfer and promotion from garrison to military camp?"

"Zhang Han made great contributions to the search and rescue in Lingjiu Mountain, and he also made great contributions in Handan City. He went to Wang Jian's tent with his father's approval. It has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Liang glanced at her calmly.

Xu Zhi knew that he had something to say, so she moved in front of his case. At such times, she could quickly return to her humble face.

Zhang Liang said warmly:

"Zhang Han doesn't care. After all, he is in the army. You went to Yongcheng to temporarily get rid of the Chu clan's surveillance of you. On the road to Yongcheng, the old Han tribe was involved, which triggered the follow-up. Now because of your aunt, The people of Mo Sect in the hands of King Han will not be too hostile to you."

Zhang Liang's family can be regarded as a wealthy King of Han and an iron-clad Prime Minister.

The environment he has been in since he was a child has been exposed to the struggle of the Korean royal family. Even if Ying Zheng loves Ying Hehua very much, after all, the Xianyang Palace has more than one princess and one son.

"Because in Longtai, Handan, your comments will definitely attract the attention of the officials. After returning to Xianyang, I don't know how many people are waiting for your mistakes. Especially when you return to the palace, you may not be able to show off your sharpness and use women's methods. I can bear it.”

"So sir, you want me to hide my stupidity."

Zhang Liang nodded.

Xu Zhi was heartbroken, but she didn't know how much of Zhang Liang's words were what she was thinking. She had just shown off with Li Xian, and she couldn't fully trust Zhang Liang's heart.

So she pretended to be weak and said in confusion: "I have done these things in Handan City. It is not necessarily that Lord Changping doesn't know what I think. If he questions me, what should I say?"

"The princess's young master is a good one."

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Does this mean you are protecting me, sir?"

Zhang Liang was startled and stopped talking.

"Princess always wants to pay too much attention, but does not take her own affairs to heart. Xianyang is different from outside the palace, so do not do anything that violates etiquette."

As soon as he said this, Xu Zhi knew that Zhang Liang had seen everything outside the pavilion.

Like Li Xian, he warned her to be polite.But it was clear that one was able to manipulate her easily due to his martial arts skills, while the other would never give in to her in terms of words.As a minister, who would be like them?This is not considered rude, but he kept scolding her for violating ethics.

"Sir, you can't lecture me like this."

Zhang Liang glanced at her, took out a medicine bottle from his body and put it on the table. Other than that, he didn't say much.

Xu Zhi didn't know that he still had medicine with him. She got up to get it, opened the lid in front of him, rolled up her sleeves, and applied the cool ointment to her wrists.

Xu Zhi's left hand was not smooth when applying it to his right hand.

"No matter what, you should never argue with others."

She muttered, "It's not because of you."

"Ahem," "What?"

In the cold winter, Zhang Liang often coughs easily.

She didn't know that his ears were so bad that he couldn't hear clearly from such a close distance.

She raised her head and said, "Because of you."

Just as Zhang Liang lowered his head, she clearly saw her own appearance in his eyes.

For some reason, she was in front of Zhang Liang in no time. If she looked up, she would see the bridge of his nose and a pair of eyes with spring water. If one point less, she would be more fortified, and if one point more, she would have peach blossoms.

In Zhang Liang's eyes, although Li Xian is young, he is definitely a very calm and steady character, and will never have too many emotional ups and downs because of the division of interests.

unless.

Zhang Liang pretended to ask questions, just to understand clearly. "What on earth did you say? Inspector Li is not someone who gets angry easily."

But once Ying Hehua gets close to him, there will be a greenish shift in his eyes.

Zhang Liang found that the atmosphere suddenly became charming, and the ribbon on the end of her hair unconsciously fell onto his clothes. It was obvious that she did not touch him, but it made his perception extend.

"Sir, if you really want to hear it, I can say it again."

Xu Zhi smiled and saw another look of surprise on Zhang Liang's face. He didn't dare to reach out and push her, so he retreated.

I don't know how many times he has 'ran away', but this time, Zhang Liang insisted on asking.

"Princess?" Azhi couldn't help but remind her softly when he saw her sitting in the courtyard in a daze.

Xu Zhi poked the medicine bottle given by Zhang Liang a few times, and it made a squeaking sound as it rubbed against the table.

"Zhang Liang is really a weirdo. Let me talk closer to him. He thinks I'm too close. If I stay far away from him, he can't hear clearly. After I returned to Xianyang, I asked Xia Wuji to show him. I was always afraid that he would fall. Ya fell and suffered a concussion."

Azhi looked at her aura eyes and wondered whether Princess Yong'an was playing hard to get, or was she trying to tease people without knowing it?

-

a few days

Ying Zheng took Zheng Li back to his hometown.

Suburbs of Handan City

The king's chariot stopped, and after a while the ruts disappeared. The Qin people's black clothes stood out on the snow.

"Madam, do you still remember what this is?"

"That pear tree?" Zheng Li stood in front of him, and the memories in front of him were not as warm as the warmth of her hand holding hers.

"I want to transplant it back to Xianyang. When the next spring comes, the snow will blow and the dead wood will bloom."

But today, in addition to Li Si, the people accompanying Ying Zheng also included Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang, wearing black official uniform, stood together with Li Si. One was young and gentle, the other was mature and steady, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Ying Zheng turned sideways and said, "Hehua's studies have been quite satisfactory recently."

Xu Zhidun, who was pretending to be picking roses with A Zhi a little further away, felt tired.

Endless.

After Zheng Li asked about his performance in school, Ying Zheng asked about his homework.

"As far as I can tell, the princess is quite diligent."

"So. When you return to Xianyang, sir, should you go to Qin Pavilion in Zhongnan Mountain as I told you that day?"

"I have become a doctor, and I am temporarily working with the princess as a young master. I would like to return to Xianyang."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Liang. "Sir, you are now a doctor in Da Qin, but do you really mean it?"

Ying Zheng's direct question made Li Si look at Zhang Liang. This question was obviously difficult to answer.

Zhang Liang is different from Li Si, and also somewhat different from Wang Wan. Although he is Han Fei's student, they are different.

He bowed slightly, but replied: "The loyalty of the minister is the same as the behavior of the king. If the king is like Jin Wen, the minister is not Jie Zitui, and the king is like Shang Zhou, the minister is not Bigan."

He does not flatter people, and rarely remains silent. He is not a direct challenge, but his words are bolder than Li Si's.

If you are not a loyal minister, you should not be a loyal minister.

Xu Zhi was almost frightened to death by Zhang Liang. He clenched the calyx in his hand. What was he talking about?Is he crazy too?

Li Si was visibly surprised.

Xu Zhi just wanted to take a step forward in preparation for intercession, but A-Zhi caught her in time and shook her head. "Princess wants to hide her clumsiness."

Ying Zheng was beyond their reaction.

Ying Zheng looked Zhang Liangfang up and down. He was neither humble nor arrogant. He did not want high officials and generous salaries. He could not help but care about his old country. In troubled times, he would not be of much use to such a person.

From the moment He Hua was at Guxiakou, her actions were all under Ying Zheng's vision.Zhang Liang, whom He Hua chose, acted in the Jingxing camp and chose Han Cang, directly competing with Xianyang.

In this game of chess, the person who directly plays chess with Ying Zheng and the person who plays alongside him is always Zhang Liang.

Such a person is not easy to control, but since Ying Zheng regards him seriously, he will not let the bead go away.

Ying Zheng laughed and said:

"My actions are different from those of the previous kings. I also want to meet with you. Who would Zhang Qing be?"

Even smart people can make the other party understand the full meaning of their words with just a few words.

Zhang Liang was suddenly stunned by Ying Zheng's chatter and laughter.

Don’t talk about what kind of king he will be, just that he will be different from previous generations, and let him take the same view.

His daughter, Ying Hehua, loved to be polite before fighting, and to be relaxed and relaxed, which is what a strategist does.

Ying Zheng is worthy of being the current King of Qin.

He is decisive in killing outside and skillful in military tactics. He is very broad-minded when he is in charge of instigating the ministers inside.

Great achievements unprecedented in ancient times can only appear in his hands.

There may not be such a monarch, let alone ten Han'an, or even all the princes of the previous generations put together.

Under Xu Zhi's distant gaze and Ying Zheng's gaze.

Zhang Liang lifted his robe and bowed his head on the snow.

"My minister Zhang Liang, regardless of gains or losses, I view the same with the king."

In winter, it is suitable for dense snow and the sound of broken jade.

Regardless of gain or loss.

Xu Zhi seemed to hear Zhang Liang saying to her, "Your father is the only one who can conquer the world."

As soon as Zhang Liang knelt down, Xu Zhi knew that she would never have to question his loyalty again.

-

The silhouette of Handan was left behind.

The night before leaving Handan, Xu Zhi asked A Zhi to take a night trip to the place where Hancang's body was buried.

"Why did the princess tell him about Guo Kai's murder? Han Cang was a vicious man. He killed Li Mu's deputy general Yang Yue. His death was not a pity."

"I heard from Uncle Chen that Guo Kai gave him poison, but he didn't kill Li Xian in the end because he had this obsession. There may be souls after death. Tell him about this and ask him to let go of his grudges and forget about it. Don't do it. Wandering.”

"The princess is kind-hearted."

Xu Zhi raised his eyes to look at the moon and murmured: "Excessive obsession is what leads to everything in front of you now."

She, her father, and her grandfather were all guided by obsession.

"Princess, when you returned to Xianyang, you and Supervisor Li were unhappy. Tingwei has always been helpful to the princess. Where can Tingwei need to explain it?" "He knows the princess's intentions towards Zhang Liang, so it may be troublesome."

"Li Xian." Xu Zhi thought, "Li Xian has many people from the Secret Pavilion, so we won't fall out with him. Don't take the initiative to alarm Li Si for such a trivial matter."

"promise."

After Xu Zhi said that, he looked at the clear light of January shining on the snowy soil.

"Huaiqing's letter the day before yesterday said that the place where we met was Cuihua Mountain in Zhongnan. This place is not a place for merchants."

"Perhaps the mistress has chosen a quiet place. If it is in a busy city, it may be too grand. It doesn't matter if the princess brings her ceremonial guards there."

-

It's as bright as the moon, when can I shake it off?

Zitong Forest in Cuihua Mountain, Zhongnan

In winter, the snow is thick, and the winding paths lead to secluded places. There are continuous wooden buildings with railings, and there are masters living in seclusion.

Isolated from the outside, there is a huge round table inside the Zhongzao House, with chess grids all over the table and many lines made of nails and hemp ropes placed on it.

Not only does it span the six countries, but it also has countries in the South China Sea and the coast of the East China Sea.

Mo Qi muttered, wrapping the Taoist robe tightly again, holding a thin grass stem in his mouth, "Is it really possible to do it now?"

"No, it's impossible, hahaha," he suddenly waved the dagger in his hand and cut the connecting thread, "impossible. Impossible."

Shi Qin, who was looking after him, looked at Mr. Mo who was still crazy and sighed to himself.

Wait for someone to go.

The assassin of the secret chamber passed through many obstacles, turned over and entered the window, and worshiped his master with great respect.

Mo Qi changed her appearance from just now and became serious.

"Did Li Xian agree?"

"Sir, my lord said he would arrive on time according to the date you wrote."

Mo Qi smiled deeply, "What Sikong Ma said is true. He is more difficult to deal with than his father. He wants to ask the most questions. If you don't tell him, you have to keep asking. Just tell him. He won't even talk for a long time. Listen. It would be very boring if this didn’t happen.”

"Sir, according to the disciple's investigation, the little princess seems to be coming to Zhongnan Mountain due to her dealings with Huaiqing."

"She is in a different place from us. Even if we meet her, we are not the ones to worry about."

Mo Qi smiled and said, "How about the others?"

"There is still one letter left from Li Tingwei."

Mo Qi wiped his face and looked at the back room, "Tell him directly that if you want to see Han Fei, please take the time to come."

"Sir, why didn't you inform Tingwei and his son at the same time?"

"Not only is Ying Hehua suspicious, I'm also very curious about Li Si."
