It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Li Xian was startled.

He returned to Xianyang this time because of the news from Sima Cheng.

Xu Zhi's reaction was beyond his expectations. She neither told him about the things that needed to be concealed on the way back to Xianyang from Chu State, nor did she question his early preparations in Shu and Nanzheng County.

After something big happens, if people keep pretending nothing happened, they will get sick.

Li Xian tried to use cruelty to stimulate her true state of mind. Unexpectedly, during these months of recuperation, she developed a temperament that remained calm in the face of danger.

"I am very surprised that the princess did not ask about it."

She just quietly filled the cup with tea little by little.

"I can't die without solving those problems. I went back once before, and now I'm always worried."

Xu Zhi spoke with a smile, but Li Xian felt a chill all over his body.

Li Xian examined her pulse and found that she had severe internal injuries, accompanied by bleeding symptoms. If she continued to suffer from this, she would die young again.

He made himself into this state step by step, and joined the game almost like a madman.

"Time and again, you risk your life for me," Li Xian thought of Mo Qi, and was able to take a short break from his twisted obsession. "For the sake of the dead, you sacrifice your future. Ah Zhi, this may not be your original intention."

Xu Zhi raised his eyes and saw the tranquility hidden in the depths of the ocean.

Gradually, her eyes fell on the king's blade. The blade was white, and she still remembered the coolness on her neck and the sorrow of the Qin State.

She said calmly, "So, Supervisor, what should I do next to fulfill my original intention?"

She placed a document on the desk.

There were many gray and black spots on this scroll of bamboo slips, which were caused by being kept in a humid place. The cover of the bamboo slips was green in color. Li Xian could tell at a glance that it came from western Sichuan.

The old scroll was sent to Xianyang at full speed and appeared in the Zhilan Palace.

Xu Zhi pulled out the tube in front of him and took out the document tied inside. The ink on it was brown, which meant that no one had touched it beforehand.

She was telling him clearly that she had been keeping an eye on everything in Shu since the beginning. This was an unspoken showdown.

It didn't snow before he came to Zhilan Palace.

At this moment, the snow is falling, it is clearly the first snow, but it is colder than severe cold.

"I thought the princess would no longer care about Shu's affairs."

Xu Zhi handed the hot tea to him. "Xu Zhi is Xu Zhi, Ying Hehua, and Yongan. Making up for the regret was my original wish, and now, it is my responsibility to save the imminent crisis."

She didn't want to say anything more. She put her eyes back on the desk and pointed at the document. "Take a look."

Official documents cannot be read directly by anyone, let alone a ciphertext that was sent directly to Xianyang.

"If I had read this privately and failed to notice the old mistakes on the scroll, I would have been derelict in my duty."

"Shouldn't I watch it with you now?" Seeing that he didn't move, she picked up the scroll and asked Azhi to hand it to him.

"I don't want the inspector to express his loyalty to me but then do the same things in Shu County behind my back."

Li Xian was suddenly startled.

Since he was reborn, it is natural for him to calculate the world situation ten or twenty years later.

He knew very well that although he and she had the same goal, their motives for achieving it were different.

Ying Hehua’s surname is Ying.

And everything Li Xian did was not just for the Qin State. For himself, for his father and brother, the path he planned out could not be anything but a path of advancement or retreat.

This is why he was able to use Ying Hehua as a bargaining chip and asked her to stay in Han. Similarly, this is also the most essential reason why he chose Shu.

He asked her again and again why she got involved, actually wanting to get the answer so as to complete his questioning of himself.

Now Xu Zhi placed this document in front of him.

When he took it, she said, "You asked me the question many times, but you actually know the answer."

Li Xian subconsciously clenched the edge of his sleeves. He felt panicky when he thought of Xinzheng.

"I guarantee with my life that I will never put the princess in such a situation again."

"Okay." Xu Zhi waved his hand and asked him to open the book.

Inside are past events that have been buried for decades.

About Bai Qi's death.

It is both complicated and simple to say - after the incident of the Shangdang Land Donation, the Battle of Changping broke out. 400,000 Zhao surrendered soldiers died in pits, and King Zhao of Qin wanted to conquer Zhao in one fell swoop, but was dissuaded by Bai Qi.

Once the king and his ministers become suspicious of each other, it will be a dead end.

Xu Zhi and Li Xian had both received the news from Sima Cheng before, and they both knew it tacitly.

The Battle of Changping was the beginning of Ying Zheng's suffering. During the nine years in Zhao State, the people of Zhao regarded the people of Qin as enemies.

But in other words, the outbreak of the Battle of Changping was also an opportunity for Ying Zheng to ascend the throne of Qin.

Shu County was also related to the death of Lu Buwei.

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei were both teachers and enemies.

Xu Zhi is a person who is good at finding connections among clues and combining them.

She wanted to make the relocation of Shangdang and the death of Bai Qi into two separate things.

During the day, when the sun was high, shadows fell on the bamboo slips, creating some hazy fragments.

"If it's as stated in the document, Bai Qi has no descendants." Li Xian said.

She glanced at Li Xian and said, "He is already eleven years old. As the elder brother, you shouldn't hide anything."

Only then did Li Xian realize that she had thought through and understood everything that had happened over the past six or seven years.

Before the unification of the world, Li Zuoche's identity was definitely not a good thing.

Adopting the grandson of an enemy general or secretly keeping the grandson of a guilty minister is a capital crime.

Why do you raise the question only now?

"Princess." Li Xian lowered his voice, "Once this matter gets out, my father will be put on the fire! It was the princess and Zhang Liang who persuaded my father to adopt Li Zuoche."

He put the name directly in front of Xu Zhi.

The scorching sunlight revealed the pain that could not be hidden in her eyes.

"Li Xian." Xu Zhi still had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes had turned cold. "You don't like to bring up the past, and neither do I."

Some people, after experiencing pain, will feel the joy of surviving a disaster, while others will forget that this is happiness and will be happy to see others being persecuted.

Feel the suffocation, long and exciting.

He felt her getting up and leaving.

Li Xian immediately softened his tone and said, "I will do whatever the princess asks me to do."

Xu Zhi turned around and said, "If you had met Wang Wan, you would understand. Your father banished you to Shu not only because you ran away from marriage, but you can't return to Xianyang for a while."

Ying Zheng already knew where the iron hammer and the strongman that appeared on the way came from. If it weren't for Ying Hehua's pleading, the Zhang family would have been executed long ago. At the same time, anyone who had been involved with the Zhang family was now under suspicion.

Wang Wan was once Zhang Liang's boss. Although Wang Wan did not say it, it is impossible that he was not affected.

Xu Zhi took two steps, bathed in the sunlight, but she could only see her own shadow, "...You burned the files of Shangdang in Nanzheng County that year, which was also one of the reasons." She turned around and asked, "Do you regret it? You are clearly about to become a minister. Chengdu and Xianyang are 800 miles apart."

"Does the princess regret it?"

They asked with different intentions, but noted the same person.

Xu Zhi had analyzed herself as clearly as possible, but once she touched Zhang Liang, the tide of counterattack would fill her heart again and again.

She was silent for a long time and couldn't speak for a long time.

"I don't regret it."

The sun was blazing in the sky, and clouds were floating above the blue sky. It was a dry and cold early winter. Strange weather, it was a sunny day even when it was snowing.

She turned behind the screen.

He could only stare at her back from outside the heavy curtains, "I have no regrets."

In the past, Zhilan Palace and Li Mansion were only less than an incense stick away from each other.

Now, it is a journey of mountains and rivers, suspicion and doubt, and the dislocation of overlapping reincarnations.

"Now it seems that neither of us won the bet."

"I am still alive, how can I not be considered better?"

"The Supervisor is confident of victory, what plans do you have?"

"Whether I can return to Xianyang depends on the princess." Li Xian looked at the document in his hand and continued, "If my guess is correct, Qi is the opportunity for the princess to restore her reputation."

After returning from the State of Chu, misbehavior almost became synonymous with Princess Yong'an.

Xu Zhi waited for his next words.

The undulating tea leaves in the teacup in front of Li Xian understood what he was thinking.

"Besides the fastest way, we should find another way."

He never hesitated to use tricks in this matter. But he knew very well that she was different. For her, this was also one of her tricks, and she used it more cruelly than him.

Sure enough, she immediately understood what he was talking about.

"This is one of the strategies I considered. There are many excellent people in the court."

Before unification, there were many young generals with military merits, and even more outstanding ones. Even though Ying Hehua had some problems, if he wanted to win the favor of the princess and marry her, he must be a meritorious official.

Most of Li Xian's achievements are hidden.

In terms of seniority, Li Si was not his only son, and he had an older brother who was unmarried, so he could not be ranked.

"Don't worry, Princess."

Xu Zhi had been learning from Zhang Liang for a long time, and his methods of playing open cards and making overt schemes had become more and more powerful.

He had already watched her fall in love with someone else, and he couldn't bear to see her actually marry someone else!

He had no choice but to join the game, so he could only follow her words and said, "Hou Sheng is more swayed than Guo Kai. In the early years when Lü Buwei was instigated, he was already inclined towards Qin. A month ago, I wrote a letter to Sikong Ma. There will be no war in Qi, and it cannot be changed. Princess, you can declare to stop the war before then, and gain the reputation of benevolence."

"That's indeed a good idea. Then I'll have to trouble the supervisor." Xu Zhi added, "I heard that Xunzi is still alive. Don't you want to know the cause of Han Fei's death?"

He bowed slightly, "I understand."

He had no principles, and he had more ways to scheme against people than Chen Ping did. And because they knew each other well, they had always had a tacit understanding.

-

Li Xian left the palace from Zhilan Palace.

Another carriage galloped into the Plum Garden from Mount Zhongnan.

Ah Zhi met this once famous gentleman. His tone of voice was slightly similar to that of the princess.

For example, they speak coherently, often pausing at unexpected places.

Mo Qi could have seen Ying Hehua at many times, but he chose to see her before the fall of Qi State on purpose. He wanted to see what this girl, who was just like him, wanted to do.

Do you really want to turn the world upside down?

Or is it a wishful thinking to change the direction of the established trajectory?

Did she think that keeping Zhang Liang by her side would resolve the crisis among Han officials?

Did she think that if she eliminated all the villains in history books, everything would be fine?

Mo Qi felt that these actions and ideas were extremely ridiculous!

Nothing is worse than an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Before meeting Ying Hehua, Mo Qi just thought she was a fish in a dry ditch.

I thought she would feel the hardship after a few years of struggling, and then she would enjoy the treatment of a princess and live the next twenty years naturally.

Unexpectedly, she actually used Zhang Liang as a clue and gathered a group of scholars who could influence the fate of the Qin State.

What Mo Qi didn't expect was that while she was using Zhang Liang, she actually fell in love with him.

How could a character whose name was originally written in the book of national destruction develop feelings beyond hatred for the princess of the old dynasty!

A person who was reborn could actually put his hatred aside and follow the logic of the timeline first! ?

Zhang Liang fell in love with the princess of Qin, and Li Xian was able to resist killing Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.

Mo Qi's plate was in a mess.

The lines of longitude and latitude are not following the original path at all!

This Ying Hehua is completely different from when he was young.

Until this time, the assassination target in Bolingsha turned to Ying Hehua.

Mo Qi found that he had to see her!

Some of the plum blossoms in the plum garden have bloomed. Everywhere you look, they are all red, with one or two branches of green plums and white plums scattered among them, which seems a bit abrupt.

In this world, she and Mo Qi are undoubtedly the most out-of-place ones.

No matter how much preparation Xu Zhi made, he couldn't resist the gaze of this "experienced person".

At first glance, Mo Qi was no different from all the old men he had seen in Qin. His graying hair was tied into a bun, all fixed with an arc-shaped wooden hairpin. He was wearing a black straight-hem gown, which gave him a bit of the charm of a Taoist priest from Mount Wudang.

Xu Zhi was humble and willing to learn, but he also took advantage of his power to bully others.

They were separated by a distant screen, several feet away from the central hall, and could not see each other's faces.

"Princess, what should we do if uncontrollable factors arise on your journey?" Mo Qi maintained his usual attitude when talking to juniors.

"From the beginning, don't let them show up." Xu Zhi said.

Thin wisps of smoke flowed from the mountains and rivers above the Boshan furnace, thin and long, rising slowly to mid-air.

This doesn't seem like a traditional conversation between two people from different worlds.

There was no mutual sympathy between them, probably because of the age difference, and Xu Zhi was faced directly with the other party's questioning.

Mo Qi asked, "So the princess released him openly, but secretly wanted Zhang Liang. Is this her intention?"

"Sir, what do you mean?" Xu Zhi stared at the dark figure. "I thought you lived in seclusion and didn't care about the affairs of this world. I didn't expect that you are Zhang Liang's lobbyist?"

Mo Qi said: "Princess, you only know one side of the story, but not the other."

"Isn't the chance I gave enough? Isn't the price I paid high enough?"

"Princess."

"Where is he?"

"For the Qin State, Princess can give up anyone?" Mo Qi asked.

"Yes."

The cold wind blew across her face, making her look even colder, just like Ying Zheng, who was indifferent to all the changes that happened and regarded them as obstacles and shadows on the road.

"When the princess came to Qin, wasn't it to protect them?"

Xu Zhi was stunned. It turned out that Mo Qi had already thought of a place for Zhang Liang to stay. She almost cried, but she used up her last bit of patience and had someone remove the annoying curtain that blocked the view.

"Mr. Mo, I think you need to understand one thing. I don't know how many times he has tried to kill me. There is only an irreversible hatred between him and me. I can't stand having a knife against my neck for a second time."

She believed in first impressions very much. She endured the pain in her heart and wanted to see clearly what kind of old man Mo Qi looked like.

As soon as he finished speaking. Unexpectedly, this man who was good at machinery and could build waterwheels had a strong bookish air. He didn't look like a Taoist who made elixirs at all. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes overlapped. I don't know if it was because he stayed in the Warring States for too long. He had an ancient air and there was no trace of the modern atmosphere he came from. He looked like... an elegant old professor.

Mo Qi's reaction when he saw Xu Zhi was very different.

He almost froze in place, his heart trembling!

He almost fumbled to get out a pair of glasses from inside his lapel.

It has solidified countless years, spanned countless years, and witnessed many setbacks.

The rusty heart began to beat suddenly!

The face that was blurry in his memory gradually became clear.

……

she?

Ying Hehua's eyes, as black as ink stars, swayed from the long river of time, and penetrated the gaze of the soul.

It was his eyes. There was no other eyes like them in the world.

What is her relationship with him...

"The River Map and the Luoshu, those are our cultural relics..."

This was the last sentence he heard Xu Kai say before he traveled through time.

A gunshot rang out, piercing through two thousand years, echoing through seven reincarnations, and finally brought these eyes in front of him.
