The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 12 The Way to Immortality

Zhang Liang understood Zhang Kaidi's intention clearly. It was not that he didn't care about the Fourth Prince Han Yu, but he didn't want to see the Crown Prince being plotted against.

"Grandfather, don't you want the Fourth Young Master to ascend the throne?"

Zhang Liang joked, "If the prince is in trouble, Han Yu is the most likely to take over. As for Han Fei, he is leading the rescue. If the prince dies, he will also be implicated and will not be able to compete with Han Yu!"

"Before, I really hoped that the Fourth Young Master would ascend the throne. I have been helping him, hoping that he would remember the Zhang family's kindness after ascending the throne and make the Zhang family prosperous." Zhang Kai smiled and looked at Zhang Liang with relief, saying, "But now, it is not necessary. With you here, the Zhang family will not decline, and I don't have to take the risk of pushing Han Yu to the throne."

"Grandfather, please rest assured. I will not let the Zhang family decline!" Zhang Liang deeply felt Zhang Kaidi's love and attachment to his family.

"Hmm!" Zhang Kai smiled easily, stood up and sighed, "I'm really old, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the next king of Han ascend the throne. You have no intention of participating in government affairs, so it's best for the Zhang family to remain neutral now!"

"Yes!" Zhang Liang nodded in agreement.

In Zhang Liang's view, as long as the current king of Han is still there, Han will not be able to develop and will eventually be annexed by Qin. Even if a wise monarch is replaced now, it will be difficult to strengthen Han in the short term, let alone resist the attack of Qin. The strength of Qin, which annexed the six countries in just over a decade, is the accumulation of several generations.

Zhang Liang even doubted that even if he became the ruler of Han, he might not be able to preserve Han. To strengthen a country, it is not easy to do it overnight. In Zhang Liang's view, all of Han Fei's plans were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.

If the king of Qin was one of the previous ones, Han Fei might still have a chance, but he happened to meet Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng. In terms of his ability in governing the country, he is definitely ranked among the best in history, and the title of the greatest emperor of all time is not in vain.

Zhang Liang did not think that he could surpass the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor immediately after traveling through time. It was not easy for him to be able to keep himself out of trouble. More importantly, he had no interest in being an emperor, and the timing and identity were not suitable. He was not a member of the royal family.

It is indeed difficult for a person like Han Fei to make a decision, but Zhang Liang is only a noble, not a royal family. How much more difficult is it to fight for the world? It is better to concentrate on cultivation and pursue the way of immortality.

After talking with Zhang Kaidi, Zhang Liang made clear the purpose of his trip. After leaving Zhang's house, he soon arrived near the Prince's Mansion. At this time, the Prince's Mansion was surrounded by three layers of defense. The soldiers were all from the General's Mansion and obeyed Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye seemed to have done his best, but it was simply wishful thinking for these soldiers to rescue Tianze and others and the crown prince of Han. If Tianze had not accidentally killed the crown prince and offended Ji Wuye, they would not have needed to rescue anyone, but only to collect the bodies.

As someone sent by the Xiangguo Mansion to assist in the rescue, no one dared to stop Zhang Liang, and he quickly passed through the soldiers and arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. "Hey, everyone is here!" Zhang Liang greeted with a smile.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang stood in front of the door, and Mo Ya came to assist on behalf of Ji Wuye. In addition, a handsome young man stood beside Han Fei. Zhang Liang had never seen him before, but judging from his aura, his cultivation was not low.

"Zifang, you've come at the right time. I need your help!" Han Fei greeted him with a smile.

Mo Ya nodded slightly to Zhang Liang. Wei Zhuang glanced at Zhang Liang, then looked towards the Prince's Mansion, as if he didn't see Zhang Liang. The strange master stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Qian Cheng from the Fourth Young Master's Mansion, I meet Young Master Zhang!"

"Yes." Zhang Liang nodded slightly, without saying much, but he had already taken notice in his heart. Qian Cheng was Han Yu's adopted son, and in fact he was no different from a retainer or subordinate. He was the one sent by Han Yu to protect the prince.

"How is the situation in the mansion? Are you sure that the prince is safe?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile. Since he came to help, he could not weaken the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He also had to contribute a little as a pastime.

However, if the King of Han and the Crown Prince knew Zhang Liang's attitude, they would probably hate him with gnashing teeth.

"Since the thief is still in the Prince's Mansion, Your Highness's safety is temporarily not a concern. However, the security outside the mansion is strict and there are experts guarding it, so it is inconvenient to investigate further." Han Fei answered with a relaxed smile.

Zhang Liang began to observe the situation outside the Prince's Mansion, and also wanted to understand the strength of Tianze's masters, but he couldn't tell much just by looking at it. So he said: "Who can tell me the specific situation? Who are the masters guarding the Prince's Mansion? I will make arrangements to rescue the prince as soon as possible and complete the mission as soon as possible!"
