The most intelligent general in the world

In the bustling city, Zhang Liang smiled and said to Xueer: "I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good."

Xue'er smiled lightly and did not respond.

Although the breakfast on the table was simple, just a bowl of porridge and a few dishes of exquisite side dishes, each dish was prepared with great care. Zhang Liang took a bite and was amazed by the taste of the food, and then he ate it with relish. Nongyu beside him considerately picked up some food for him.

Seeing him eating with gusto, Nanyue said with a smile: "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you. Sister Xue and I don't have big appetites, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Zhang Liang smiled innocently, and soon he finished his breakfast while wolfing it down. In the study, Zhang Liang admired Nongyu and Xue'er playing the zither, and asked Xue'er, "What do you think of Nongyu's zither playing?"

Xue Er thought for a moment and replied, "My sister's piano skills are better than mine. I feel that her practice method is also different from others, but I can't really explain it."

Zhang Liang nodded and said to Nong Yu, "When you have time, teach Sister Xue'er the piano training method you learned. By learning from each other, you will definitely be able to improve your training speed."

Nanyue nodded and then asked, "Are you going out?"

Zhang Liang nodded: "I still have some matters to deal with in Yanjing. After that, I will travel around and see the world. You guys concentrate on practicing the piano, and I will come back after a while."

Nongyu agreed and made all the arrangements.

……

Walking out of the training ground, Zhang Liang happened to meet Zhang Li. "This morning, a group of people came to the Qizhen Pavilion and brought back some treasures, saying that they were returning them to us."

Zhang Liang asked in confusion: "Who do they call themselves?"

Zhang Li nodded: "They said it was from the Yin-Yang School."

Zhang Liang recalled that he had probably traded three Barrier Breaking Pills with Dong Jun. He nodded and said, "I know about this. Please assign them and make a list for me. Also, instruct the detective in Suo Yi to investigate the unknown persons who have appeared in the city recently. I have a feeling that something else will happen in the next two days."

Zhang Li responded and turned to leave.

……

Zhang Liang, who had just returned to the hotel, ran into Jing Ke, whom he had rescued last night, at the door. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Jing Ke nodded: "Prince Yan wants to invite you to his house to discuss something, so I came."

Zhang Liang nodded: "What did he say?"

Jing Ke replied: "The prince only mentioned things related to Han, and didn't say much else."

Zhang Liang decided to go, as he also had something to discuss with the Crown Prince of Yan. At the Crown Prince's residence, Dongjun and the Crown Prince were discussing something.

Who was the man in black last night who wanted to assassinate Jing Ke?

Dong Jun shook his head. Based on Jing Ke's description, he still couldn't determine the man's identity. If this man could sneak in here, why didn't he kill Jing Ke directly, but lure him out instead? Is there someone here that he can't deal with?

Prince Yan nodded and said, "You are the strongest warrior in the whole mansion, and you have just been promoted to the master level. Maybe the man in black is afraid of you."

At this time, someone outside the door announced: "Prince, Jing Ke and Zhang Liang have arrived."

"Lead them to the living room first, Dongjun and I will be there soon." Prince Yan said to himself, "He actually came. It seems that something unusual will happen today."

Dong Jun nodded: "Since they are here, let's go out."

Soon, the two came to the living room and saw Zhang Liang drinking tea. "It's been a few days since we last met. Mr. Zhang is still as charming as ever."

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Brother Yan, thank you for your praise."

After everyone sat down, Prince Yan asked, "I wonder what Brother Yan wants to talk to me about?"

"I invited Mr. Zhang here today to talk about Korea."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I wonder what happened in Korea?"

"I heard a few days ago that Han Fei secretly returned to China. Didn't Mr. Zhang know about this?"

Zhang Liang shook his head. He really didn't know about this.

"I want to discuss with Mr. Zhang, why not form an alliance through marriage? Zhang and Yan will join forces to help me ascend the throne of Yan, and I will help Mr. Zhang destroy Han. Otherwise, once Han Fei returns to the country, the situation may not be simple anymore. As far as I know, Wei Zhuang is now serving in Han. What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"

After hearing this, Zhang Liang shook his head without hesitation: "It is impossible for the Zhang and Yan families to form an alliance, and I will not get involved in the disputes of the Warring States. There is no need to make such proposals in the future, so as not to hurt the harmony."

"I came here today to tell you something. I will leave Yanjing in seven days. I hope no one will disturb me during this period. You should understand what I mean. I won't say anything else. Goodbye."

After Zhang Liang left, the Prince of Yan, the Lord of the East, and Jing Ke fell silent, each lost in thought.

"Brother Yan, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang is just like that. He has lofty aspirations and doesn't like the troubles of the world. Your Highness doesn't need to mind."

The Prince of Yan nodded. Now that Qin was strong, if the six countries did not unite, they would be defeated one by one by Qin. He must ascend the throne as soon as possible to save the country.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Liang thought of what the prince of Yan said. Han Fei had secretly returned to the country without his knowledge. It seemed that the ability of the straw raincoat detective needed to be improved. I wonder what kind of storm will Han Fei stir up when he returns to the country this time?

King Ying Zheng of Qin looked at Zhao Gao who was kneeling below him and said: "According to what you said, Han Fei has returned to Han."

Zhao Gao bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Han Fei has indeed returned to the country. The chessboard has been set, and now it depends on how Zhang Liang responds."

King Ying Zheng of Qin nodded, suddenly drew out the Tianwen Sword, and swung it forward. Zhao Gao was startled, but did not dare to look up.

A drop of blood dripped from the tip of the sword, and a voice was heard: "A moth flies into the flame and destroys itself."

The King of Qin said to Zhao Gao, "You should withdraw! Let Luowang keep a close eye on Zhang Liang's movements and do not neglect them. Otherwise, you should know the consequences."

Zhao Gao slowly withdrew and happened to meet Prime Minister Lü Buwei on his way out. For some reason, Zhao Gao always felt that Lü Buwei was dissatisfied with him. Lü Buwei glared at him fiercely when he passed by just now. Although Zhao Gao was in charge of Luowang for the King of Qin, he was always wary of Lü Buwei.
