Chapter 70 Hijacked
Zhang Han received the order and asked Shan to ask people to prepare the car, while he stayed behind to confront Zhang Liang, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Zhang Liang tightened his grip on the sword.
If he waited for the pursuers from Xianyang to arrive, he would have no chance of leaving.
"Excuse me." His brows were determined and he was about to take Zhao Yuanxi away.
"Do you really want to take me with you? You can't get me out of Yongcheng!" Zhao Yuanxi spread his hands helplessly. If he ran by himself, he might be able to return safely, but if he took her with him, it would not be so easy.
"Why don't you tell me what happened first? Maybe I can give you some advice?"
This person is not a vicious criminal, and no one knows what he did to be hunted down by the Black Armor Guards.
Could it be that he assassinated the King of Qin?
Zhang Liang said nothing and escorted Zhao Yuanxi onto the carriage. Shan drove in front, and Zhang Han and his men followed on horseback behind.
Perhaps because he felt that he had a sword in his hand, Zhang Liang did not take extra precautions against Zhao Yuanxi. He paid more attention to the people driving the carriage outside and the pursuers behind him.
Zhao Yuanxi sat in the corner and began to chat with him casually, "You are Korean, so do you know Han Fei?"
When Zhang Liang heard his teacher's name, his eyes instantly became alert. How could a noble lady in Yongcheng know his teacher's name?
Zhang Liang felt something was wrong. "Who are you?"
"You're asking about my identity now?" Zhao Yuanxi lifted the carriage curtain, glanced outside, and said with a smile, "If you want to know my name, then shouldn't you introduce yourself formally? Are you Zhang Liu or Zhang Liang?"
Zhao Yuanxi did not recognize this man as Zhang Liang at first sight, but the name Zhang Liang was too famous in later generations. He was the first counselor of the founding of the Han Dynasty.
However, he was just a young man who had just started out, and he felt that his reputation was not prominent enough. Although he concealed his identity and called himself Zhang Liu, he forgot that the word "Liang" was engraved on the sword.
Korean, with the character "Liang" in his name, surname Zhang, the right age, and this face—
"She looks like a beautiful woman." Sima Qian's description is really accurate. If she puts on a dress, she will look like a pretty girl!
When Zhao Yuanxi heard him call himself Zhang Liu, he was sure that he was Zhang Liang in history books.
Zhang Liang's eyes fell on Zhao Yuanxi and he fell into deep thought. This woman was obviously of extraordinary status, and her subordinates were also not simple. They were probably not inferior to the Black Armor Guards of the King of Qin.
If he was not a member of the Qin royal family, his family would at least be at the rank of Shangqing.
The carriage suddenly stopped. The Yongcheng County Magistrate and his men blocked the intersection and bowed. "Empress Dowager, the King has ordered that you cannot leave Yongcheng."
"You!" Zhang Liang's pupils suddenly dilated, and the sword in his hand moved. "You are the Queen Mother of Qin?"
The county magistrate heard the noise coming from inside and was puzzled. He stepped forward and said, "Please ask the Queen Mother to return to Liyang Palace."
Zhao Yuanxi had already snatched the sword from Zhang Liang's hand. Did she know what it meant that one force could defeat ten skills? The young man was still too naive to threaten her.
"Stop making noise, or I'll hand you over to the authorities!" Zhao Yuanxi warned.
Zhang Liang, who had been killed in the counterattack, looked dazed, as if he hadn't figured out how his sword had been taken away from him. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "You did it on purpose!"
"You were the one who wanted to kidnap me. Don't act like I kidnapped you! I was just going along with it."
Zhao Yuanxi parted the curtain and said to the Yongcheng County Magistrate with a smile, "I just came out for a stroll and had no intention of leaving. I've been out for so long, it's time to go back!"
Zhang Liang knew that he had been fooled and was filled with resentment. If looks could kill, Zhao Yuanxi would have been chopped into pieces by him.
"You can kill me or chop me up if you want, but there's no need to humiliate me like this."
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the furious Zhang Liang and found it a little funny. "I didn't say I wanted to kill you! If I really wanted to kill you, you would have been dead the moment you pointed your sword at me!"
"Don't be so angry. I actually wanted to see if I could leave here. I'm not deliberately teasing you."
Since coming to Qin State, Zhao Yuanxi has never left except wandering around Yongcheng. She also wants to know whether Ying Zheng will let her leave.
As it turns out, it still doesn’t work!
Although Ying Zheng allowed her to enter and leave Liyang Palace freely, it was still impossible for her to leave Yongcheng.
"Don't be upset! I'm actually quite happy to see you!"
Is that something a human could say? Zhang Liang's eyes widened, his chest heaving with anger, and even his pale face took on a bit of color.
"Don't go too far!"
Zhao Yuanxi raised an eyebrow. "So what if I bully you? Can you beat me?"
Zhang Liang's hand was still numb. He had just been forced to take the sword from her and his hand was almost broken. He felt a little regretful that he had underestimated this person. He could only turn around angrily and no longer pay attention to this shameless queen mother.
Zhao Yuanxi poked him and saw that he was really angry. "Don't you want to say something more?"
"Will the Queen Mother let me go?"
"No, but you can first tell me what you did, and then I will consider how to deal with you."
Zhang Liang snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "The Queen Mother asked me what I did, so you should ask what the King of Qin did."
Is this also related to her adopted son?
"Did you assassinate him?" Zhao Yuanxi asked curiously.
The history books clearly record that Zhang Liang assassinated Qin Shi Huang and then fled during his eastern tour. Could it be that this happened earlier?
"Who assassinated him? It's obvious that the King of Qin is guilty. Not only did he arrest my teacher Han Feizi, he also wanted to eliminate the people from Han as well. Who is so despicable and shameless?"
"He is indeed a bit shameless!" Zhao Yuanxi nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yuanxi had heard about the love-hate relationship between the King of Qin and Han Fei.
This issue of stance cannot be easily changed. Qin wants to destroy Han, while Han Fei wants to save Han. There is no room for maneuver between the two.
However, there is no need to kill people directly!
If Zhao Yuanxi were the King of Qin, he would probably keep Han Fei.
Once the Qin State destroyed the Han State, it would be a done deal, and no matter how unwilling Han Fei was, he had to accept this fact.
At that time, he would either obey the orders or choose to die for his country. It would depend on Han Fei's own choice.
Just like when someone already has a husband, you cannot ask him at this time whether he is willing to be with you, otherwise the most likely thing you will get is a rejection.
But if the person is already divorced or has lost her husband, you can increase your success rate by taking advantage of the situation.
What? She killed him? He's already dead, what else can I do?
Zhang Liang was getting frustrated with Zhao Yuanxi. Thinking of the reason why the Queen Mother lived in Yongcheng, he pondered, "The King of Qin is so cruel and ruthless that he even trapped the Queen Mother in Yongcheng. Are you really willing to stay here forever?"
Zhao Yuanxi glanced at him gloomily, "Don't sow discord. Although I am somewhat dissatisfied with the King of Qin, I will not betray him."
As long as Ying Zheng was alive, she was the Queen Mother of Qin. If someone else was in power, her identity would become even more embarrassing.
Zhao Yuanxi would never do such a stupid thing that would harm others and benefit himself.
