……

On the eighth day of leaving Xianyang, Chen Xu's family visit team arrived in Lushan, and in two days they could reach Nanyang City, and after a day of repair, they would return to Qinghe Town, and there would definitely be no problem in going home before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because there is still plenty of time, and Lushan, which is close at hand, is the dojo of red pine nuts, Chen Xu decided to visit Lushan for the third time to see if he can find the half-immortal red pine nuts that the dragon has no end into, and at the same time, he also wants to comfort Shui Qingrou, to the East China Sea, Shui Qingrou has not seen Shizun for almost five years, and when he arrives here, Shui Qingrou naturally still wants to go back to Shimen to see.

Because it is summer now, the vegetation in the mountains is luxuriant, there are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and the water in the mountain streams and valleys is turbulent and it is inconvenient to walk, so Chen Xu ordered the accompanying forbidden army guards and officials from Luyang to help take good care of Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan and other accompanying families, and he was equipped with pistols, and took a few guards and Chen Yong and more than a dozen teenagers who had all replaced the newly developed bullet rifles, and accompanied the water gently to go up to Lushan.

The mountain is high and densely forested, and the inaccessible Lushan Mountain is rugged and difficult to walk, but fortunately, there is a familiar water of the Lushan Mountain to lead the way, plus I have been here twice before, after half a day of climbing, a group of people finally climbed to the vicinity of the cave where the red pine nuts live in seclusion again.

"Squeak~"

Before the people could go up, the monkey had already jumped excitedly and climbed the hanging ancient vines into the misty mountain top.

Leaving a group of guards and teenagers below, Chen Xu and Shui gently walked hand in hand along the narrow and steep stone path to the familiar stone platform.

The ancient pines are still the same, the stone tables are still the same, the ancient vines hanging on the steep cliffs, the pine needles and moss in front of the cave, the scenery has not changed forever, everything seems to be frozen in yesterday.

But what surprised the two of them was that on the edge of the cliff, at this time, there was a man wearing a hat and a cloth shirt hanging a long sword at his waist, with a slender figure with his back to Chen Xu and the others, and he was facing the wind and looking at the vast mountains and the wilderness below the mountains from afar.

Chen Xu was about to speak, but was stopped in front of him by Shui Qingrou, and then choked with a black short sword in his hand.

"Who are you? How could a non-Lushan disciple trespass into my dojo! Shui Qing's face was cold, and the short sword was pointed at the man's back.

Damn, Chen Xu was startled and reached out to touch the pistol on his waist.

Just now, he thought that this man was a senior brother who had never met Shui Qinggent, but he didn't expect it to be not.

And this guy pretends to be forced, it seems that he is just waiting for him.

The man didn't speak, but slowly turned around, and then took off the hat, when he saw this handsome and familiar smiling face, Chen Xu's heart instantly put on his navel, smiled and inserted the pistol back into the holster, then pressed the water and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, this is an old man who knows each other!" ”

"Qinghe Hou, you deceived Zhang Haoqing!" The man smiled all over his face but smiled bitterly, dropped his hat and bowed deeply.

"Haha, Brother Zhang Liang said with a smile, when did Ben Hou deceive you, it was just inconvenient to reveal your identity at that time!" Chen Xu smiled and strode up, helping Zhang Liang with both hands.

The two have been separated for five years, but there seems to be no half-separation between each other at this time, the two looked at each other up and down, left and right, and then looked at each other and smiled, Chen Xu turned around and pointed to the water and said softly: "Introduce to Brother Zhang, this is my lady, Liezi's disciple Shui is gentle!" ”

"Zhang Liang meets Concubine Hou!" Zhang Liang hurriedly gave a big salute to the water gently.

"The Shui clan has seen Zhang Langjun!" Shui Qingrou had also put away the short sword at this time, and stepped forward to salute.

"After five years, I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhang Liang in Lushan, this place is quiet, just enough to sit idle, please!" Chen Xu pointed to the stone table and stone bench under the ancient pine.

"Master Hou, please!" Zhang Liang did not shirk it, and the two walked to the arranged stone benches on both sides of the stone table and sat down.

"If this place is quiet, it is really a blessed land, and if you live here for a long time, you will forget all the mundane things in the world, and Liang has admired the predecessors of Chi Songzi for a long time, but it is a pity that you have not seen it, it is a pity......" Zhang Liang turned his head and sighed quietly.

"You've only been here once, you've been disappointed, Ben Hou has been here three times, and you haven't even seen the shadow of Chi Songzi's predecessors, isn't it even more disappointing, life is unsatisfactory, why should Brother Zhang sigh, it seems that you are waiting for me here today, how do you know that I will come here?" Chen Xu brushed the pine needles on the stone table with his sleeve and said with a smile.

"Liang, this little bit of caution, it seems that you can't hide it from Master Hou!" Zhang Liang retracted his eyes and saluted respectfully, "When Hou Ye went to Xiapi for the second time, Liang figured out the identity of Hou Ye, but he didn't dare to rashly pursue and ask each other, he could only watch Hou Ye leave, and now five years have passed in a blink of an eye, Liang tosses and turns every day and can't sleep, after all, he can't help but go to Xianyang to explore, but he didn't dare to visit the Hou Mansion after staying in Xianyang for more than a month, for fear of being recognized and bringing trouble to Hou Ye, so he heard that Hou Ye returned to his hometown and province, so he waited in Luyang in advance, Hou Ye and Hou Concubine love the world knows, Passing by Lushan, you must come to visit the cave of Chisongzi's predecessors......"

"Hey, your ability to wait for the rabbit is good, you were also waiting in Bolangsha like this and almost killed the First Emperor!" Chen Xu nodded in surprise.

Zhang liang:......

Looking at Zhang Liang's distorted and frightened face, Chen Xu couldn't help laughing and waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, look at what scares you, Ben Hou is just joking, it has been almost eight years since you ambushed the First Emperor, time has changed, your handsome appearance with a full face has long been recognized by no one anymore, otherwise you can still let you come and go freely in Xianyang, say, what are you waiting for me?" ”

"Actually, it's not a problem, it's just that there are many doubts in my conscience that haven't been solved yet, so I hope to be able to see Hou Ye and get some explanations, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well in this life!" Zhang Liang said after calming down.

"You mean the ambush of the First Emperor in Bolangsha?"

"It's not about this matter, but that the Hou Ye knew that it was Liang who ambushed the first emperor's car, why didn't you report me, and didn't arrest me to see the official, and when you and that Huangshi Gong went to Xiapi together, they said that they were all for me, but Liang is just a generation of people who destroyed the country and fell into the country, although he had the heart to restore the country in troubled times, but he thought that there was nothing else extraordinary, even if he ambushed the first emperor, he just had to be guided by a master, why would Hou Ye do this?"

After Zhang Liang asked this question that had been hidden in his heart for seven or eight years, he felt a lot more relaxed at this time, and at the same time looked at Chen Xu with an expectant face, hoping that Chen Xu could give him a perfect answer.

"Your life is entangled in heaven, there are some things I can't reveal, so I won't talk about it if you ask, and Huangshi Gong is a master of the world, proficient in the method of easy reasoning and determination, and it is not difficult to deduce your identity, everything in the world is not black and white, what you do is just the epitome of the six kings and grandsons of the nobles, there are many people in the world who have the same heart, so there is no more than you, no less than you, no less, no matter whether this Hou sues the official or not, this situation is still inevitable, what this Hou is planning is the strength of the Great Qin world, the wealth of thousands of people, what do you have to do, I said a sentence when I left Xiapi, I don't know if Brother Zhang still remembers? Chen Xu played with two pine cones in his hand and asked indifferently.

Zhang Liang nodded, "Naturally, I remember that when the Hou Ye was leaving, he said: Heaven and earth are like chess, you and I are all chess pieces, right and wrong, grievances and grievances, all are like flowing water, right and wrong turn empty, and the rivers and rivers will flow forever, why should you be blinded by the hatred of the past!" ”

"It's good to remember, but I don't know what Brother Zhang feels after all these years, can he still have the heart of revenge, can he still have the intention of assassinating the first emperor?" Chen Xu asked again.

Zhang Liang sighed and shook his head: "Liang has long lost this intention......

"That's it, the general trend of the world is like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, the mighty and unstoppable, the Chinese princes have the same root and the same origin but fight each other, the brothers kill each other, this is the death of China, the first emperor is eloquent and broad-minded, sweeping the six countries and returning to unity, this is the will of heaven, how can mortals contend with it, Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao Wei and many kings do not know the time, trying to use the mantis arm as a car to resist the power of heaven, naturally can only fall apart, and the six kings and nobles tried to restore the country, than the kings of the six countries were more ridiculous and lamentable, May I ask if Brother Zhang is still stable over the years, whether his life is still rich, and whether what he has seen and heard makes you feel a little emotional! ”

Zhang Liang tugged at his beard for a long time and did not speak.

Every word Chen Xu said was already transparent to him, he stayed in Xiapi over the years, married a wife and had children, and made many local celebrities, and even he himself became famous in the local area and was sought after by many people.

With his wife and children, he lives a peaceful and prosperous life, and he is a celebrity and a high-ranking person, drinking and sitting high to appreciate poetry and songs, talking about ancient and modern exchanges, talking about major events in the world, talking about the trends of the court, and observing the various states of the world.

If he is not satisfied with this life, and he is so stable and has no emotion, Zhang Liang definitely doesn't even believe it.

"The people of the world, yearning for peace and tranquility and well-being and prosperity, not the miserable days of lack of food and clothing, you and other six kings and nobles have ever paid attention to the toiling masses who provide for you, the reason why this marquis did not report you, and did not arrest you to see the official is not that Benhou can't do it, but I want you people who are trying to restore the country to see with your own eyes that the general trend of the world is unchangeable, even if you really succeeded in assassinating the first emperor, and the six kingdoms were all restored, but after seeing the meritorious majesty of the first emperor to unify China, Which king is willing to continue to succumb to the old land as a prince, not to mention which of the six kings and grandsons can afford the title of emperor, whether it is Wei Gongzi to blame, or Han Gongzicheng, or Zhao Gongzi Xie, or the Xiang family who rebelled at the beginning, or the Zhao Di Li family who could not be bullied, and the Zhang family of your three generations of Xianghan......"

"The restoration of the Six Kingdoms is just a feast of blood, the Seven Kingdoms are fighting again, the people's livelihood is ruined, except for you and other kings and grandchildren who still feast and sing at night, can the restoration of the country be of any benefit to the people of all countries?"

"Today's Great Qin State Tai Min'an is in a prosperous and prosperous state, your six kings and grandsons have broken the foundation of the nobles, even if you raise your arms and shout, but I don't know how many people are willing to follow you to rebel?"

"Therefore, Ben Hou advises you to go back to Xiapi and continue to be incognito and be a virtuous man who enjoys peace and prosperity, and don't have any thoughts of recovering the country......"
