It was at this time that Zhang Liang escaped in, and he took the opportunity to lead the others away.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

That's why he rushed into this room first.

When his eyes met Fusu who was sitting at the desk, his original emotion instantly froze on his face.

Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, was dressed in a plain brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. He had a handsome face and an innate nobility and majesty between his brows.

However, in this late night of solitude, his eyes seemed particularly profound, as if he could see into people's hearts.

When Zhang Liang came into his sight, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, which was quickly replaced by vigilance.

The air between the two seemed to be frozen, with only the candlelight swaying slightly, reflecting their respective complex expressions.

Zhang Liang's breathing gradually became steady. He did not speak a word, but the dagger in his hand secretly flipped a few times.

Fusu stared at Zhang Liang, trying to read something from his eyes.

...

...

After a while, he slowly spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

This question was asked despite knowing the answer, and it also contained a hint of Fusu's testing.

On the other side of the mirror, when Li Rongrong heard Fusu say this, she immediately knew that something interesting was going to happen, so she listened silently.

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and answered firmly, "I am Zhang Liang. I wanted to assassinate the First Emperor to save the people of the world. Unexpectedly, I failed and was captured. Fortunately, I escaped here."

Upon hearing this, Fusu frowned and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He looked Zhang Liang up and down, as if evaluating this so-called sage of strategy.

After a moment, he said, "Zhang Liang, I have heard of your name and I know you have great ambitions. But assassinating the First Emperor is truly a heinous crime. Do you know your crime?"

Zhang Liang held his head high and answered fearlessly: "I know my own sins, but I know the sins of the world even more. The First Emperor's tyranny has left the people in misery. How can we sit back and do nothing? Although I may die, the people's hearts will live on. One day, someone will complete my unfinished business for me."

Zhang Liang smiled slightly, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes, and continued: "The country does not belong to one person, but to everyone in the world. If the First Emperor is really a wise ruler, why would he be afraid of my stab?"

Fusu was playing with the sachet on his waist. He saw that although he was a prisoner, he had an extraordinary demeanor and sharp words. He couldn't help but respect him and said in a slightly slower tone: "Since you have such ambitions, why don't you surrender to your majesty and work together for the great cause? Maybe you can be spared from death."

Zhang Liang shook his head, his expression firm: "If we have different ideals, we cannot work together. The First Emperor's ambition is to concentrate all power in one person, but that is not what I want. I, Zhang Liang, would rather die than surrender, and I will never side with a tyrant."

After hearing this, Prince Fusu was silent for a long time.

This determination to work for the people and the world alone is worthy of his praise.

He slowly stood up, walked in front of Zhang Liang, and looked at him with complicated eyes.

Zhang Liang also looked back at Fusu without showing any weakness.

Until he heard Fusu say in a sonorous voice: "Although my Great Qin is tyrannical, without my Great Qin, the world would be torn apart and the people would still be living in misery. Although my Great Qin has various heresies today, one day I will be able to ensure that the elderly are well cared for, the young are well cared for, and the widowed, the orphaned and the lonely are all well cared for."

The string in Zhang Liang's heart seemed to be broken for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

A gentleman will die for the one who knows. It seems that the eldest prince of the Qin Dynasty is different from what he thought before.

The elderly are taken care of and the young are cared for, isn't this the world peace he pursues?

No, the tyrannical Qin Dynasty is simply not trustworthy.

Although Zhang Liang thought so, the look in his eyes when he looked at Fusu showed respect for him and persistence in his own beliefs.

The atmosphere between the two was tense and subtle, as if a silent duel was taking place.

Fusu finally spoke, his voice low and firm: "Zhang Liang, I admire your courage and determination. But assassinating my father is not the solution. If you really care about the people of the world, why don't you find another way?"

Zhang Liang keenly sensed something, but did not respond.

A complex emotion surged in his heart. Fusu was different from the First Emperor, he had his own ideals and ambitions.

But he also knew that there was an insurmountable gap between him and the Qin Dynasty.

He was just an assassin, and an assassin who had assassinated twice.

He shook his head and said firmly: "Master Fusu, I appreciate your kindness. But my path is already determined. Let's just regard what happened tonight as an accident. I, Zhang Liang, will never give up easily."

After saying this, Zhang Liang turned around and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Fusu said in a low but firm voice: "Zhang Liang, if you really want to seek welfare for the people of the world, just look at how our Great Qin is doing on the border."

After all, Prince Fusu would not let someone like Zhang Liang out of his control.

After saying that, he gave the order to the outside: "Come here, capture him!"

"only."

The Qin army, which had been lying in ambush outside, immediately rushed in.

Until now, Zhang Liang still didn't realize that he had been fooled.

He was pinned to the ground by several Qin soldiers, his clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy, but his eyes were still bright and shining with an unyielding light.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which was a mockery of the scene before him.

Although his hands were tightly bound with ropes, his back remained straight, as if declaring to the world that even though his body was imprisoned, his spirit would never surrender.

The leader of the Qin army, a stern-looking general, slowly walked up to Prince Fusu and saluted respectfully, "Sir, how do you deal with the assassin?"

Prince Fusu did not answer, but turned to look at Zhang Liang, "How about we make a bet, you stay at the border until spring, if you still don't change your mind, I will let you go."

"If you don't agree now, you will be beheaded in public."

As if demonstrating, he drew out a long sword and placed it on Zhang Liang's neck.

Although Zhang Liang was pinned to the ground, he still looked up and coldly examined him. After a long while, just as the soldiers beside him were ready to make a move, he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I, Zhang Liang, will take the bet."

Upon seeing this, Prince Fusu immediately ordered Zhang Liang to be released.

"Master Fusu is indeed open-minded. Aren't you afraid that I will run away?" Zhang Liang said as he stood up and stretched his muscles.

Prince Fusu stared at Zhang Liang and said word by word: "In the past, the Shang Lord, Fan Sui, Li Si and others of our Qin made our Qin stronger than other countries. Today, the same is true for Fusu."

Zhang Liang didn't expect that he could be compared with these people in front of Prince Fusu, and he was speechless for a moment.

He finally understood how the talents from other countries were won over by the Qin State in the past.

When Prince Fusu said this, he was promising him the position of prime minister.

However, Zhang Liang was not so easily shaken.

After all, he focused on opposing the Qin Dynasty for more than ten years and attempted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang twice.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I don't know what the bet will be."

"In that case, send him down to rest and keep him safe." Prince Fusu did not intend to say anything else to him and simply had him taken away.

Watching Zhang Liang's figure disappear into the night.

Prince Fusu turned to the little stone who had informed him and said, "You did a good job. It seems that your recent study of martial arts and military tactics has not been in vain."
