The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 4 How can a summer insect understand the language of ice?

Han Fei asked seriously, "Are you going to Qin to assist Ying Zheng?"

He was anxious in his heart because he was well aware of Zhang Liang's talent and the influence of the Zhang family in Han State.

If Zhang Liang defected to Qin, Han would face a huge crisis and might even collapse in an instant. Even though Han Fei knew the power of Qin and the ability of Ying Zheng, he could not accept Zhang Liang's choice.

Zhang Liang glanced at Han Fei's murderous intent and said calmly, "How can a summer insect understand the language of ice?" He shook his head slightly and said sarcastically, "What do you think of Mr. Xunzi's ability?"

Han Fei replied respectfully, "Teacher, you are unfathomable and talented." Zhang Liang then asked, "What about Wei Zhuang's master Guiguzi?" Han Fei began to understand Zhang Liang's intention, but still replied, "Guiguzi knows everything about heaven and earth, and his swordsmanship is superb, just like a god."

Zhang Liang stood up, looking into the distance with a proud look on his face: "They are free and unfettered, ignoring the powerful and making the princes fear them. Why can't I? The martial arts are difficult, and I don't want to be tied down by trivial matters!"

Han Fei was shocked by Zhang Liang's courage, but he did not agree with this pursuit: "I don't agree with your idea. Where is the real freedom? Who can fight against a country alone? The so-called freedom is just escaping from reality! Once the six countries are unified and the world is united, who dares to despise the emperor? If you want to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, why not in the court?"

However, Zhang Liang did not waver. He knew that Han Fei's words made sense, and he also knew that after the unification of Ying Zheng, strong men like Xunzi and Guiguzi would avoid him. But Zhang Liang had a higher goal.

He recalled the description of Taixuan Immortal Venerable, that when a cultivator reaches the second level, he can live for 500 years and control the power of heaven and earth. However, the spiritual energy in this world is thin, and it is not easy to reach the second level. He does not want to waste time on worldly power.

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "No need to say more. We have different ideals and cannot work together. We pursue different things, so there is no need to say more."

Han Fei sighed, knowing that he could not change Zhang Liang's decision: "Okay, let's not talk about this today. Let's talk about Liu Yi's case."

"Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you. Liu Yi was assassinated and his throat was cut. I have already dealt with the murderer." Zhang Liang answered directly, not wanting to argue with Han Fei anymore.

"You'd better not investigate other things. If you continue to investigate, it will only implicate your father and me. When the time comes, King Han and I will not let you go." He reminded, "I like peace and quiet. If you insist on disturbing my practice, I might as well support the Fourth Young Master to take the throne. He has been asking me for help frequently recently."

After saying this, Zhang Liang ignored Han Fei and turned away.

Han Fei was a smart and decisive man. Although Zhang Liang did not say everything, Han Fei had already heard a lot of clues. This case did involve many secrets and even involved the King of Han. It was by no means a trivial matter.

But he was a man of his own ideas and would not give up easily just because it involved the King of Han. Instead, he became more interested in the case. However, Zhang Liang's final warning forced Han Fei to be cautious.

Inside Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu saw Han Fei coming back and immediately went to meet him, smiling and saying, "Are there any progress in the investigation? Any new discoveries?"

Han Fei smiled and replied: "Yes, I can almost confirm that Mrs. Hu is Nanyue's mother, and she was taken away by Zhang Liang!"

"Nongyu!" Zi Nu smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with joy. She was happy for Nanyue, but she didn't say much. After a pause, she asked, "What about the left Sima Liu Yi? Was he also dealt with by Zhang Liang?"

"According to Zhang Liang, he was killed by an assassin!" Han Fei frowned and continued, "Zhang Liang should not have lied, but he warned me that this case was related to my father and asked me not to continue investigating."

Zi Nu was silent. Although she did not participate in court affairs, she knew everything about the court. If it involved King Han, the matter would become serious.

"Are you going to continue investigating?" Wei Zhuang appeared at the door at some point and interrupted coldly.

"Of course!" Han Fei smiled and continued, "Although Zhang Liang didn't say why it was related to my father, the box we found in Liu Yi's secret room had the Baiyue symbol on it, and Madam Hu was the daughter of Baiyue Huoyu Gong. This matter must be related to Baiyue!"

Han Fei wanted to continue investigating, Wei Zhuang had no objection, and Zi Nu naturally would not object. If they really wanted to investigate, they would always find clues. It was just that because Zhang Liang took Li Kai away, it would be much more troublesome to investigate, and it might take more time.

Without Han Fei's entanglement, Zhang Liang's life returned to normal. He practiced martial arts and read books in the mansion every day, seizing every minute to improve himself. At the same time, he also urged Zhang Li and others to practice.

After a few days, Nongyu finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Son!"

Under a tree in the garden, Zhang Liang was checking the growth of the green jade fruit. Nong Yu slowly walked over and bowed.

"Well, Miss Nongyu, would you be willing to play a song for me under the flowers and the moon?" Zhang Liang said with a smile.

"Sir, if you want to listen to Nongyu playing the piano, you can do so anytime!" Nongyu said shyly.

"Is it really possible anytime?" Zhang Liang asked jokingly.

Nong Yu blushed slightly. She would be a little nervous and shy every time she saw Zhang Liang. But remembering the purpose of today, she bowed again: "Sir, do you have any news about my parents?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, it's time for you to meet your relatives. Come with me!"

Zhang Liang had previously prevented Nanyue from seeing his parents because he was afraid that Han Fei would investigate. But now that he had mastered his magical powers, his martial arts and swordsmanship had improved, and he had fewer concerns. He confronted Han Fei directly, and now he was no longer afraid of Han Fei investigating anything.

He brought Nong Yu to the underground palace and soon found Mrs. Hu and Li Kai who had lived there for several days.

The three of them met eyes. There was no need for Zhang Liang to introduce themselves. Just the extremely similar looks of Nongyu and Madam Hu, as well as the invisible blood connection, were enough to confirm their identities.

Zhang Liang walked away alone, leaving space for the family. About half an hour later, Li Kai came to see him with Nong Yu and Mrs. Hu.

"Thank you very much, sir!" Li Kai called softly and knelt on the ground. Madam Hu and Nong Yu also knelt down.

"Get up!" Zhang Liang accepted the salute without refusing.

The three of them stood up. Li Kai seemed to be hesitant to speak, but after thinking for a moment, he said bluntly: "Sir, I have no way to repay your kindness. I wonder if you have any request?"

"You are very smart!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile. It was natural for Li Kai to say that. Anyone who received a great favor for no reason would always feel uneasy, especially in this world. Sometimes receiving favors from others might not be a good thing.

"Forget it, I saved you for a reason!" Zhang Liang smiled. Li Kai was a little nervous, while Nanyue looked shy.

"Two things. First, I want to know the place where Fire Rain Agate was mined in Fire Rain Villa. The martial arts I practice require the assistance of Fire Rain Agate. So after a while, Li Kai, you have to accompany me to Baiyue!"

"The second thing is about Nongyu." Zhang Liang looked at Nongyu and said with a hint of joking: "Nongyu, are you willing to be my maid?"

After these days of contact, how could Zhang Liang not see that Nongyu had a good impression of him. After all, Zhang Liang also lived in the 21st century, and in just a few days, he had won Nongyu's heart. Proposing it now was just letting things take their course.

"Hmm!" Nong Yu lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Haha...Okay, I will give you a status in the future!" Zhang Liang promised with a smile.

Given Zhang Liang's status, it was impossible for him to marry Nong Yu.
