In May of the twenty-seventh year, Qin Shi Huang toured Longxi to the west and went to the Great Wall. And Songzi County, located in Julu County, caused a sensation in the city because of one incident......

"Shopkeeper, tell me about the musician again."

In Song Zicheng, a man dressed as a merchant in cloth put three and a half taels on the table, pressed two fingers, and gently scratched in front of the guest house servant.

The servant took it and stuffed it into his sleeve and smiled: "If the guest wants to know, the villain will know everything!" ”

At noon, when there were no guests, the servant sat down in front of the dusty man and told him about this strange thing known to the whole county.

"That musician, who was originally a Yongbao of the Zhao family, a wealthy family in this county, only came to Song Zicheng last year, and like me, he was hired as a handyman, doing some menial and tiring work, and just earning some food every month. Once in a while, I come to the inn wine shop, and only the worst wine, but after drinking it, I shout happily! ”

He was working in the Zhao courtyard, and on that day, the Zhao family was feasting on the guests, so that the musicians were in the hall to help the fun. This Yongbao wandered in the courtyard, and did not leave after finishing his work, listening to the music, and commenting, saying that the tone of the building had good hits and some not. ”

Zhu, is a very popular musical instrument in the land of Yan Zhao, the shape is like a piano and big, the head is a string, and it is struck with bamboo, which is different from Zheng Wei's beautiful sound, has the beauty of desolation and slaughter, and is loved by her husband.

The man in cloth bowed his head: "That Yongbao, it's really a person who understands music." ”

"Yes."

The servant said: "Yongbao, who works together, thinks that he talks too much, so he complains to his master, saying that this person is doing cheap work, but he is commenting on the music in private. ”

The master had the intention of teasing, so he let him go to the court to build it. Everyone thought that this person would make jokes, but he skillfully picked up the bamboo board and struck the string lightly. At first glance, it seemed chaotic, but when I listened to it, I found that it was a complete piece of music, which was better than the musicians in the hall. ”

"So the master praised him, and gave him food and drink, and told him not to be a mediocre protector anymore, but to become a musician......

Speaking of which, the servant was a little thirsty, and the man in cloth generously ordered a glass of wine - the prohibition of alcohol in Guanzhong and Nanjun was not implemented in the counties of Shandong, and the price of alcohol in various places was not deliberately raised to a very high price.

However, the measuring device for beating wine has been upgraded to the standard of Guanzhong to the counties.

The servant thanked the cloth-clothed man and continued: "So, Yongbao became a musician, and the Zhao family's father-in-law feasted the guests and let him go to the hall to build it. After bathing and changing, Na Yongbao changed into a good dress, and hugged the building he had hidden for a long time. I heard from the visitors that the building is made of fine paulownia wood, the strings are the longest tail hair of the Daibei horse, and the chestnut shell is vermilion lacquer at the bottom, which is worth a lot at first glance! ”

"And his appearance, after washing off the stains and combing his hair, is also very different, faintly, there is a kind of elegance of a celebrity, the host and guest are shocked when they see it, and they bow down and salute, and treat him as a guest."

"When he hit the building and singing, the voice was sad and agitated, I went to deliver wine and food, and heard a few voices in the courtyard, although the villain did not understand the music, but always felt that the sound of the building was in the ears, and the inexplicable sadness came from the heart, and when he came back to his senses, he was moved to tears, and the guests who sat on the day also shed tears......"

Since then, the musician has become a well-known figure in the county, and wealthy families have invited him to be guests in turn.

The man in cloth groaned, if he was in Kansai, Sanchuan and Yingchuan, he met this kind of character who concealed his true identity at first glance, and the rich families would probably report to the official as soon as possible to check his identity, right?

But this is the land of Yan Zhao, where husbands get together to play, sing generously and sadly, and meet people with the right appetite, why don't you care so much?

But sooner or later, Qin officials will notice.

So he looked up and asked the servant, "Whose house will the musician go to build today?" I want to hear it! ”

When half an hour later, the man in cloth stood outside the courtyard wall of the man's house, and when he heard the faint sound of familiar construction, he had already identified the mysterious musician.

"High Fade ......"

The man sighed: "You don't want to be incognito, what do you want to do with such fanfare?" ”

……

The night was hazy, the moonlight was like water, and when the musician returned to his residence, he closed the door, and before he could put down the building in his hand, he was extremely sensitive to hearing, and he noticed that there was another person in the house......

"Who!?"

He turned his head sharply, drew the dagger that had been hidden in his arms, and aimed it at the black case, ready to throw it at any moment.

"When an old friend visits, will the senior brother greet him with a sharp blade?"

A faint voice sounded, and then flint sparks flashed, and a handsome man in his thirties appeared in the faint candlelight, looking at Gao Yuanli with a smile.

After taking a few steps forward, Gao Yuanli saw his face clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

"Zhang Zifang, it's you!"

……

Sitting in front of the desk, old acquaintances that I haven't seen for many years, but I can only talk in a weak voice.

Gao gradually left and Zhang Liang met the year before last, when the people of Yan and Sanjin, who were unwilling to surrender to Qin, gathered between Qi and Juan.

Originally, everyone wanted to assist the Qi State and fight Qin to the death, but Zhang Liang laughed in front of the court, predicting that the King of Qi would definitely surrender without a fight.

"The second and third sons should each find a way out!"

He pointed to the sunny sky and said sadly: "The sky is about to be dark, the night is long, I don't know when I will be able to regain my sight!" ”

Everyone scolded him for growing the morale of the Qin army and destroying his prestige, but Gao Yuanli noticed Zhang Liang and befriended him, and found that this person was extremely smart, and he hated to talk late.

"If Zhang Zifang had been born ten years earlier and had been able to take charge of Korea, Han might not have died suddenly...... he gave Zhang Liang a very high evaluation.

"And Jing Ke, you don't have to enter Qin and not return."

Every time I think of my friend Jing Ke who was killed in the Qin Palace, Gao Yanli is still full of regrets.

Within a few days, there was news that Qi Wangjian was going to enter the court in Qin, and the widows and widows of the princes between Ah and Juan were mourning, and they could only be scattered, and the two also said goodbye, Zhang Liangdong went to the seashore, and Gao Yanli hid his name and settled in Songzi County, Julu County.

"I haven't seen you for a year, the ovary is a lot darker, where is the Korean gentleman with a crown like a crown of jade?"

Zhang Liang, who seemed to have taken off his skin, said with a smile: "The sun on the seaside is fierce, and it looks like this, but it's okay, how can a small businessman who works all day long have a white and tender skin?" ”

The identity he is now fabricating for himself is a businessman, and many of Zhang's protégés have entered Qin's system as officials, and it is very easy to get him a set of test passes, so Zhang Liang can walk unhindered.

Zhang Liang began to talk about where he had gone in the past year or so.

"Confucius once said that the way is not good, and you will float on the sea. Now the princes have been destroyed by Qin, the royal road has collapsed, the domineering is rampant, and there is no place for my generation in the world. I took a ship to the sea, went to the Dongyi Hui Kingdom Canghai Jun for half a year, looking for a warrior who could help me assassinate the King of Qin, and finally found it, and then returned to the Central Plains from Yandi. When I passed through Quyang County, I heard the rumors of the mysterious musician in Songzi County, and guessed that it might be you, so I came to take a look. ”

Gao gradually left all thoughts: "The ovary still thinks that assassinating Qin is the only way to destroy Qin and restore the country?" ”

"It's not a cure, but it's the only way out."

Zhang Liang said firmly: "The King of Qin subdued Kyushu with his own might, conquered the famous cities in the world, killed the heroes of the six countries, collected troops and gathered in Xianyang, cast as the twelve golden people, and moved 120,000 households into the customs, and weakened the people of Shandong, and now the remnants of the Six Kingdoms dare not speak out, all because the King of Qin is still alive." But if the king of Qin dies and there is no prince in the country, there will be chaos, and then Shandong Haojie will make a move, then the national revenge can be avenged, and the six countries can be restored! ”

He has already seen that Qin's power is extremely superior to Qin Shi Huang alone, and Qin relies on strong policy laws and regulations, and it is difficult to take root on the soil of the six countries of Shandong, as long as Qin Shi Huang is killed, Shandong will be in chaos!

Zhang Liang took refuge in the sea, and at the same time secretly visited the warriors, and now he has found a suitable candidate, befriending him like a chivalrous friend to Nie Zheng, and now, he only needs to wait for Qin Shi Huang to tour the east......

The purpose of his disguise as a businessman is to familiarize himself with the road traffic in various places and find a suitable location!

Time was pressing, and Zhang Liang immediately pointed out the purpose of Gao Yuanli: "Brother Gao didn't hide his name and hid in the market, but he suddenly regained his appearance and clothes, and he was famous for his construction of Song Zi, is it a life and death will?" ”

Qin Shi Huang hated Prince Dan and Jing Ke, and after one day, after being called the emperor, he ordered the world to want Prince Danmenke, Gao gradually left as a guest of Prince Dan, and was a friend of Jing Ke, so he was naturally on the list of wanted, and his head was worth five hundred catties of gold! If you can catch it alive, you can get a thousand catties!

But Qin Zheng has no foundation in the land of Yan and Zhao, and he cannot achieve strict and meticulous control like Qin Di, if Gao Yuanli has been hiding in the image of Yongbao, Qin officials will not be able to find him.

Now it's different, sooner or later, the government will notice him and send Lingshi to investigate.

"The ovary is still as smart as it used to be...... I can't hide anything from you. Gao gradually shook his head and said his suffering:

"I can't hide!"

He used to be a musician known as Yan Zhao, with a pair of dexterous hands, playing beautiful repertoire, the instrument is like the woman in his life, Zhu is a somewhat fierce wife, Qin Se is a gentle concubine, and Sheng Xiao is an occasional close wife......

But he lost everything, his identity, his name, his privileged life, the admiration and reverence of others, and as a mediocre protector, he did heavy physical work all day long, which he could bear, but one day, when he found that his calloused hands were already a little unfamiliar with Zhuxian, he could no longer bear it!

Gao Yuanli's hand stroked Zhuxian, revealing a gentle smile: "I want to hit Zhu, I want to play the piano, I want to play another piece of Shao music, lead to singing, even if I die like this, it is better than mediocrity, living like a walking corpse." ”

"Why do you have to ...... like this" Zhang Liang sighed, but he could understand.

He suggested: "I'm afraid that Qin officials will come to Brother Sona in a short time, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Brother Gao, hide in the ox cart where I pull the goods tonight and leave Songzi County! I can send you to the seashore, let you go to sea by boat, go to Jizi Korea, go to Canghai Jun, and my brother can play music all day long......"

"What kind of song to play, the song of the dead country?"

Gao Yanli smiled bitterly: "I don't want to go to Shouyang Mountain and be Uncle Boyi...... And the ovary wants to follow the example of Nie Zheng to assassinate Qin, I think it is not easy to succeed, and it is too slow. ”

"The ovary should know that the king of Qin ordered last year that the hometown of the six kingdoms must be measured and measured, coins, cars on the same track, and books and words must be the same as Qin's land."

"The next generation of scholars in the Yan Kingdom will no longer be able to write the Yan characters that have been inherited for 800 years, and they will no longer be able to understand the classics and historical records that have been handed down from generation to generation."

When he raised his head, his eyes were full of tears: "Zhao Zheng has a greedy heart and captures his people, he not only wants to trample on the society of Zhaogong, but also destroy the foundation of the Yan Kingdom and break the backbone of the Yan people!" If it goes on like this, it will not take 20 years, and there will be no more Yan people in this world! ”

"So I can't wait any longer, Jing Ke is gone, Prince Dan is dead, but Gao is leaving, still there! I want Yan Guo and the world to know that Yan Guo and there are still people who have iron bones and are constantly twisting and turning! ”

"You want to deliberately lure Qin officials to arrest him." Zhang Liang immediately guessed the true purpose of Gao Yuanli.

"You want the Qin officials to bring you to the King of Qin, do you want to follow the example of the Zhuzhu and the thing that you want to leave, and stab Qin at close range!?"

Gao gradually left his head: "Zhao Zheng is arrogant, he thinks he is the lord of the world, he has a reward of thousands of catties, and he wants Qin officials to capture me alive, I am afraid that he wants to treat me as an object to show off his merits and put it in Xianyang Palace!" ”

"Once you get there, there's a way!"

"He'll be on your guard." Zhang Liang disagreed: "I'm afraid it's difficult for you to even see him." ”

Gao gradually left but was confident: "Qin Di also likes to build music, no one in the world will be indifferent when they hear my music." And no one who has heard it once doesn't want to listen to it a second time! As long as I am taken to Xianyang, there will definitely be a chance! ”

Zhang Liang knew that Gao had made up his mind, so he could only sigh: "Brother Gao takes himself as bait and regards death as home, this courage is better than Zhang Liang'......"

Gao gradually left his hand: "The ovary is a great talent, when I leave a useful body, but I am useless except for playing music, what I want to govern the world, it can still be entertaining, and in this season, there is no use." ”

Zhang Liang was silent for a long time, and after a while, he picked up the lamp on the desk.

"Liang can only replace wine with water, respect to senior brother!"

He replied: "Liang is a person who cherishes his life, and he will leave Song Zi quickly tomorrow, and he can't see off his senior brother in person......"

Gao Yanli laughed and said: "If I can't do anything, I can only count on the ovary, let alone ......"

The piece of bamboo in his hand slashed over the building again, as if he were really playing.

"As early as many years ago, I wrote a farewell song for Jing Ke and for tomorrow's self!"

In the early hours of the morning, when Zhang Liang walked over the wall, he heard the sound of Gao gradually leaving.

First, the voice of change that made people feel sad and indignant when they heard it, so that Zhang Liang could hardly hold back his tears under the wall, and then the generous and high-pitched feather voice:

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!"

……

The next day, the Qin officials of Songzi County really sent Ling Shi to investigate Gao Yanli's identity and took him to Julu County, and someone who had seen Gao Yanli identified his identity, and Julu County was overjoyed, so Gao Jianli was imprisoned, with wooden tongs around his neck, and sent someone to Xianyang.

At the same time, Didao, Longxi County, thousands of miles away. After seeing Qin Shi Huang's car drive north to Beidi County, Li Xin and Heifu also led a team of more than 1,000 people out of the Great Wall of Qinsai and went deep into the land of Diqiang outside the border......

According to Qin Shi Huang's plan, the white horse and the black dog will take the first step in the west!
