Chapter 564 Sky Curtain - Roll Call 2

"Of all the people in Li Si's network of connections, the only one who truly deserves mention is Han Fei."

"Um?"

Han Fei, sitting in the carriage, raised his eyebrows in surprise, then understood. He and Li Si were from the same school and both had transitioned from Confucianism to Legalism. His trip to Qin was originally aimed at Li Si, so it was normal for him to be mentioned.

Speaking of Han Fei, Yi Xiaochuan's face immediately lit up. "Fusu, you haven't met Han Fei here yet. He's the president of the court, and he and Xiang Shaolong are known as Li Si's two biggest rivals, hahaha..."

Han Fei: ? Right?

Li Si: Don't look at me, I've already said that's not me!

"I don't know about my senior brother, but it seems that Han Fei and Li Si are destined to be together in a past life."

"Hahaha, Fusu, you have a sharp tongue." Yi Xiaochuan laughed even harder and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, in my world, everyone says that the King of Qin attacked the State of Han for Han Fei's sake, using the tactic of force and plunder. What about where you are?"

Fusu chuckled: "What do you mean by force or robbery? Father simply admires Mr. Han's talent."

Han Fei, suddenly realizing he was the "culprit" behind the downfall of the state of Han: "..."

Upon suddenly learning that Han Fei was the "culprit" behind the downfall of the State of Han, King Huanhui exclaimed: "Where is Han Fei? Send him to the State of Qin!"

"Pfft, hahaha..." Yi Xiaochuan laughed so hard he slumped onto the table, waving his hands weakly, "I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore..."

Barely suppressing a laugh, Yi Xiaochuan slammed his hand heavily on Han Fei's file. "In short, you can see from here just how outstanding the surviving Han Fei is. He's definitely one of the talents you should recruit. So be careful; you know what kind of person Li Si is."

Li Si: "..."

Slander! Utter slander! If you're so capable, explain yourself clearly: what kind of person is he?

Feeling uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Li Si decided to withdraw his goodwill towards Yi Xiaochuan. This young man who couldn't keep his mouth shut, didn't he know he held a grudge?

Zhang Liang, who was traveling with Han Fei to Qin, seemed to be deep in thought: "So, is Li Si targeting you, sir?"

Even before setting off for the Qin state, Zhang Liang, under Zhang Ping's guidance, had already become Han Fei's student.

Han Fei patted his head. "It's alright. Now that Tianmu has given me a warning, I'll be careful."

Zhang Liang nodded, thinking that his father was truly insightful, having immediately identified an extraordinary teacher for him. Then, he heard his own name appear on the celestial screen.

"Since we've mentioned Han Fei, there's another figure from the state of Han who must be mentioned: the strategist Zhang Liang."

Zhang Liang: The Sage of Strategy? Who? Me?

Han Fei: I knew my disciple was powerful, after all, he had already appeared on the celestial screen. But I never imagined he was this powerful. Could he be called a "saint"?

"You've met Zhang Liang here, right? He's amazing, isn't he? In my world, he was also incredibly capable, contributing to the establishment of the new dynasty and being praised as 'strategizing within the tent, winning battles a thousand miles away.'"

As Yi Xiaochuan spoke, he quickly pulled out several more people's files. "They all mentioned famous ministers from the early Han Dynasty... The Han Dynasty was the dynasty after Qin in my area... Of course, I believe that after you, Fusu, return, Qin will definitely not perish after only two generations..."

Yi Xiaochuan became more and more flustered as he explained, but Fusu held his hand down and said, "It's okay, I believe in myself too."

Yi Xiaochuan was immediately amused, all his panic vanished, and he continued his introduction: "This Xiao He and Cao Can, there's a phrase specifically for them, 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui,' meaning 'following Xiao's rules,' anyway, both were capable ministers who governed and maintained the country."

"Following Xiao Gui and Cao Gui... It seems I've benefited from your influence."

Cao Can looked at Xiao He's teasing and said those words, but his whole face was glowing with health. He was young after all, and being specifically pointed out by Tian Mu made him happy.

Xiao He smiled, a smile tinged with pride and a hint of pressure: "What's this talk of benefiting from others' fame? Now that we've been chosen by Tianmu, we need to work even harder."

Does knowing you have a bright future mean you don't need to do anything?

Of course not. Xiao He understood very well that others had high expectations of them in advance, and they needed to work harder to meet those expectations.

"Hey," Liu Ji interrupted, noticing Xiao He's burden, "No matter who it is, we're all brothers, we all benefit!"

"That's right, everyone benefits!"

Fan Kuai and the others joined in the commotion, becoming even more excited about their journey to Xianyang.

"Han Xin, known as the 'First War God of the Early Han Dynasty,' was an absolute military genius. His end in the Han Dynasty was unfortunate; he was discarded after his usefulness was over. However, I believe that under the Qin Dynasty's merit-based military system, he would certainly have been able to fully utilize his talents and be feared."

"And... Liu Ji, you've met him, he has a wide circle of friends and is particularly good at using people..."

Liu Ji, who was mentioned, was smug, but many people also saw something else in Yi Xiaochuan's hesitant attitude.

The capable people of the new dynasty... why doesn't the emperor count?

Li Si frowned, subconsciously starting to think about how to deal with Liu Ji, while Ying Zheng at the head of the table remained unchanged. Tian Mu had already gone this far; why would he fear a fictitious new dynasty emperor?

Perhaps feeling that this topic was not suitable for further discussion, Yi Xiaochuan quickly produced other materials, "Since we've mentioned the Han Dynasty, we can't ignore the forces that competed with the Han for the world at that time."

“Um… this is probably the biggest difference between the three worlds,” Yi Xiaochuan scratched his head sheepishly, thinking of the blunder he made when he first arrived in this world. “There’s no Xiang Shaolong in my world. Xiaolong… I mean Xiang Yu, he’s not Xiang Shaolong’s son, he’s the Hegemon-King of Western Chu. He’s not from Qin, he’s from Chu, the grandson of the famous general Xiang Yan.”

Xiang Yan, who was suddenly mentioned: "..."

His feelings were extremely complicated. He knew that his unborn grandson was very powerful, and he also knew that this grandson was a Qin person in another world. What about this world?

"In my world, Xiang Yu is also Xiang Yan's grandson." Fusu nodded, his tone brimming with confidence. "It doesn't matter, I will ensure he is born a Qin citizen."

Good news: in this world, Xiang Yu is still his grandson.

The bad news is that his grandson may very well have been born a Qin person.

It wasn't that Xiang Yan was denying it; it was simply that the appearance of the Heavenly Curtain made it clear that the unification of Qin was the will of the people. Even if unwilling, no one could ignore the fact that behind the Heavenly Curtain was the mysterious and unpredictable Grand Master Gao Yao, who was supporting Prince Fusu.

How is this any different from supporting the Qin state's unification of China?

As far as Xiang Yan knew, the King of Chu was already summoning people to discuss surrendering. Thinking about it, shouldn't he first buy a house in Xianyang?

Although the grandson hasn't been born yet, with so many people being nominated by Tianmu, they should at least win at the starting line, right?
