The concern for Han Shu and Lu Zhi made Zhang Liang feel extremely urgent to leave Shudi.

Faced with Zhang Liang's decision, Qingmin and Yu Xi were very supportive. But when he is about to leave Shudi, which is far away from the war, there is always some reluctance in his heart.

Zhang Liang has already seen the attachment between the two of them to this place. Softly said, "Tomorrow I will find a way to scare the main thing away together." At that time, there will be no officials of the Qin State here, and I will dispose of a property here, and you will live here obediently. I'll come back when I find Shu'er and Zhi'er. ”

Regarding Zhang Liang's arrangement, Yu Xi and Qingmin were unwilling to comply.

"I'll be where you go. Since I'm going to find Sister Han and Miss, I'm going to go together. ”

Hearing Yu Xi's statement, Qingmin also hurriedly said, "It's not interesting for you to leave me here alone, I want to go back with you." Besides, I am Fan Junshi's person after all, and I must give him an explanation. ”

Seeing that Yu Xi insisted on following, Zhang Liang gently took her hand, as if to express that he would not give up. But when he heard Qingmin say that he wanted to give Fan Zeng an explanation, Zhang Liang immediately said angrily: "Confess a fart!" Lao Tzu marries a wife and cares about his! ”

Hearing that Zhang Liang began to speak unscrupulously again, Qingmin reprimanded: "There is not a single good word in my mouth all day, it is just some vulgar and unbearable words." Although he reprimanded Zhang Liang in his mouth, he was very happy when he said that he wanted to marry himself.

The three of them finally discussed and decided to return to the Central Plains together, and after finding Han Shu and Lu Zhi, they took them back here together.

Early the next morning, Zhang Liang went to find Wang Meng alone. After meeting with the other party, he motioned to the other party to send others back with his eyes, leaving only the two of them to talk.

"Master Wang, what you said about the battle of the giant deer yesterday, do you have any other information?"

I saw Wang Meng replied with great embarrassment: "Don't hide it from your lordship, that's a wheel." There is only one villain, and every time I send information, I always have to let it rest for half a month before sending someone to take it out to listen to the information. It's just that this battle report has just been obtained, so no one has been sent out again. ”

Zhang Liang knew that he could no longer get valuable information from the other party. So he began to think about what to do with the other party. After a moment, he gave up on the idea of scaring the other person away. Intend to make the other person your own. After all, once there is no one to govern here, there will be no way to live, and then I am afraid that the Promised Land will become a place where strongmen are rampant.

"The king is in charge, and he can't hide it. This official came this time on the orders of His Majesty to explore the terrain and prepare for the construction of the palace. “

When Wang Meng heard that Zhang Liang was here to build the palace, he immediately asked in surprise: "My lord, why did the imperial court build a palace in Shudi?" ”

Zhang Liang pretended to be worried. He sighed: "When I set out, His Majesty gave me the Tiger Talisman and ordered me to come with two thousand soldiers. Now the sergeants are stationed outside the boardwalk. Wait for my command at any time. At first, I didn't know why the imperial court wanted to build a palace here, but after hearing your battle report, I already guessed. ”

"My lord, tell me what the hell is going on." Wang Meng became more and more impatient.

"I expected that the imperial court knew that the tide was turning, so it was looking for a way out. The plank road in Shuzhong is rugged and difficult, which is the best barrier. But I can stop it for a while. But I can't stop it for a lifetime! If the plank road could do natural insurance, my Daqin would not have unified this Shu land back then. I'm afraid this place will turn into a battlefield of purgatory sooner or later! And the most terrifying thing is within us. It's not an enemy army......"

Seeing that Zhang Liang wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Meng hurriedly asked, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" You...... Don't be intimidated! ”

After Zhang Liang sighed, he continued: "Now the situation in the court is complicated. And I can tell you that you got the news about Your Majesty, it's true. ”

Wang Meng listened to Zhang Liang's words. Slumped on the ground. He did not expect that the imperial court would be defeated so completely, and the death of the emperor was also true. Now the imperial court is going to retreat to Shuzhong. And it won't be long before it becomes a battlefield, which just makes him anxious.

"My lord, what should you do?" Wang Meng anxiously asked Zhang Liang for advice. I hope that the other person can show me the way.

Zhang Liang saw that the other party was asking for his opinion, so he pretended to think seriously. After a while, he said earnestly: "Lord Wang, you can be heart-to-heart to this official during the banquet, this is your filial piety, today I will give you an idea, but whether you listen or not is all up to you." ”

Wang Meng heard that the other party had an idea, and hurriedly replied: "As long as it is the idea of the adult, the small one will definitely obey it." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded, as if approving to him. Then he said, "Distribute those two boxes of money to the people, and then actively govern this place, and make sure that this place is prosperous." Don't stop preying on the people! Remember! ”

Wang Meng didn't know why the other party came up with such an idea. After a long time, he asked suspiciously, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Liang saw that the other party was puzzled, so he immediately replied, "Today I will return to Xianyang, in addition to recovering my life, but also to investigate the reality of the imperial court." If the imperial court really retreats here, then your outstanding merits will be enough to make Your Majesty pay attention. If Great Qin is defeated, sooner or later someone will come here to govern. At that time, your official reputation will be your magic weapon for life. Whoever gets here will continue to reuse it for you. But the first thing to do is to stop being in the fishing country. ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Wang Meng fell into deep thought. After a long time, he timidly asked, "If everything is as your lord said, why don't we follow the example of our former county guard and run for our lives?" ”

"Although I brought two wives with me, there are still two wives and their parents still in Xianyang. You can escape, but how can I escape? Besides, are you willing to die like the former county guard? Are you willing to live in fear and anxiety all day long? ”

Wang Meng began to weigh left and right, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing that the other party was still unable to make a decision, Zhang Liang said: "I am leaving today, and where to go is all in your thoughts." You can release your wife and brother and let him continue to run amok while you continue to eat your own people. But you can restrain him, and then take responsibility for yourself and leave a way out for yourself. Or follow the example of the former county warden and walk away. After speaking, he left Wang Meng and left alone.

At noon, Zhang Liang and the three of them left the palace. I saw that Wang Meng had already ordered someone to prepare the car.

"My lord, the little one has prepared a car for you. Also, what the adults say to the villain, the villain will always remember in his heart. The villain is not leaving. The villain also did some wrong things in order to meet the county guard. From today on, the villain must restrain his wife and brother and govern this side of the land. ”

Hearing the other party's statement as if defending, Zhang Liang smiled knowingly. Then he got into the carriage with Yu Xi and Qing Min. Before leaving, he only left a sentence for Wang Meng: "The king is in charge, I will definitely come back." I hope that by then you will be a beloved and good officer. ”

After leaving Hanzhong, Zhang Liang and the three of them traveled for several days, and finally crossed the Chencang Ancient Road and arrived at the Waste Hill City.

After days of traveling, the three of them were exhausted. Although he was concerned about the safety of Shu'er and Zhi'er, Zhang Liang still chose to take a break in the city. After all, Qingmin and Yu Xi are also very tired.

The three of them found an inn, but found that the store was very depressed. After arranging to move in, Zhang Liang asked the store: "Shop, why is this so depressed?" Merchants traveling between the Central Plains and Bashu should all pass through here. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the other party's question, he immediately replied with a sad face: "Guest officer, now that there are many wars, there are still so many businessmen and tourists there. And ......" and what? Without waiting for Zhang Liang to continue asking, Qingmin rushed to say. Moreover, a few days ago, the Qin State had surrendered, and the situation at this time was even more unstable. The businessmen are all waiting and seeing, where will they come and go rashly. "Down?" Zhang Liang was not surprised by the surrender of the Qin Dynasty. Because when Xianyang was in Xianyang, he had already learned that he had this heart during the conversation with Ziying. Thinking of Ziying, Zhang Liang suddenly had more concern. "The Qin Dynasty has fallen, so I don't know what happened to Emperor Qin now?"

Seeing that Zhang Liang and others had a lot of problems, and there was no business in the store, the shopkeeper simply sat down. "Don't hide it from the guest officials, there is no Emperor Qin anymore, and after Ziying ascended the throne, he degraded himself to the king of Qin. He was also a benevolent monarch, and as soon as he came to power, he reduced the tax on civil service. However, the Mandate of Heaven is no longer in Daqin, and just a month after he sat on the throne, a rebel army hit Xianyang, and the prince of Qin inevitably increased the war, so he took the initiative to surrender. ”

Zhang Liang listened to the other party's narration while drinking wine. "How did Xiang Yu deal with the child?"

Hearing the other party mention Xiang Yu, the shopkeeper was stunned. Then he asked suspiciously, "Xiang Yu?" What's the matter with that Xiang Yu? Why did he dispose of the baby? “

Hearing the shopkeeper's question, Zhang Liang's heart was half cold at the moment, and he didn't even hold the wine glass in his hand steadily. "Could it be that the King of Qin descended Xiang Yu??" Zhang Liang asked eagerly.

"No!" The shopkeeper shook his head and replied: "It was Liu Bang of Pei County who attacked Xianyang!" ”

Knowing that Liu Bang had entered Xianyang, Zhang Liang almost fainted. When Yu Xi and Qingmin saw it, they hurriedly went up to appease. Even the shopkeeper hurriedly poured water and drank it for Zhang Liang.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Isn't it Liu Bang who entered Xianyang? Isn't he the brother-in-law of the eldest lady?! ”

Yu Xi's ignorance of history gave Zhang Liang a headache, he did not answer Yu Xi's question, but kept beating the desk, and shouted in pain: "I confessed when I was leaving, so that he is not as good as Xianyang!" It's as good as Xianyang!! Why didn't he listen!! In this way, wouldn't he become a thorn in the side of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng; Is there a thorn in the flesh?! Is it true that history cannot be rewritten?! ”

Hearing Zhang Liang talk about history, Yu Xi knew that something must have happened. Qingmin and the shopkeeper were still confused, and they didn't know what Zhang Liang meant.

After a while, Zhang Liang suddenly got up and said hurriedly: "Can't delay, we have to go to Xianyang City immediately." Dare to ask the shopkeeper if he has horses for sale? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly replied: "There is indeed a horse in the store, but why is the guest officer so anxious?" ”

As soon as Qingmin saw that Zhang Liang was leaving, she also asked: "Yes, even if you want to leave, you are not in a hurry, besides, why do you want to go to Xianyang, why don't you go to your two wives?" ”

Zhang Liang took out the silver money and handed it to the shopkeeper, and replied: "The Qin Dynasty has fallen, and I believe there will be no more wars." Shu'er and Zhi'er will be fine if they think about it. And Liu Bang will definitely have news of them. Saving lives is like fighting fire! If I don't go to Xianyang to save him, I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Seeing Zhang Liang's anxious demeanor, Qingmin and Yu Xi didn't say anything more. When the shopkeeper had prepared the horses, the three of them set off again and rushed to Xianyang. (To be continued.) )
