Chapter 71 Save Them
Zhang Liang's face flashed with embarrassment after being directly exposed, but he quickly returned to normal. "If the Queen Mother didn't want to betray the King of Qin, why did she save me?"
Wouldn't it be easier to win the King of Qin's favor by handing him over to him?
"Of course it's because I like you!"
"Cough cough--" Zhang Liang covered his chest and started coughing. His face turned blue and red, and he looked at Zhao Yuanxi with vigilance.
Zhao Yuanxi hit him on the head and said angrily, "Put away those dirty looks of yours. I won't be interested in a young boy like you no matter what."
Hearing this, Zhang Liang rubbed his forehead. That's right! The Queen Mother of Qin liked someone like Lao Ai, not him.
If Zhao Yuanxi knew what he was thinking, he would probably beat him up.
"Not only can I save you, I can also help save Han Fei."
Zhang Liang paused and looked at the person in front of him again, "What do you want me to do?"
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and said, "I have two little grandsons. If their lives are in danger in the future, if you can help, please save them!"
Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Yuanxi in confusion. He was puzzled. Isn't the grandson of the Queen Mother of Qin the grandson of the King of Qin? How could the grandson of the King of Qin need him to save him?
Zhao Yuanxi did not explain. She didn't know how much wind this little butterfly could fan, nor did she know how long she could stay in this world.
She doesn't even know her own future, so how can she control the future of Fusu and Ziying?
Before meeting Zhang Liang, Zhao Yuanxi wanted to teach them well so that they would have enough power to protect themselves in the future.
But how could things possibly go as she wished? What if she was gone and Ying Zheng was gone too? How would the two of them face the sudden collapse of the Qin State?
Since God let her meet Zhang Liang here, isn’t that a reminder to her that eggs should not be put in one basket?
Seeing that she wasn't joking, Zhang Liang made a solemn promise, "If Queen Mother Zhao can save our teacher Han Fei, I swear that if the lives of the two young masters are in danger in the future, I will do my utmost to save them."
"very good!"
Zhang Liang pressed on, "I wonder how the Queen Mother plans to rescue our teacher?"
"That's what I need to think about." Zhao Yuanxi smiled. "You can help Zhang Han treat his injuries later and stay at Canglang Pavilion for the time being. Leave Han Fei's affairs to me."
After Zhao Yuanxi arranged for Zhang Liang, he went straight back to Liyang Palace.
Only Zhang Liang and Zhang Han were left looking at each other.
Zhang Liang met Zhang Han's murderous gaze and pursed his lips, "Excuse me, Guard Zhang."
"You should be thankful that the Queen Mother values you, otherwise you would be dead already." Zhang Han said coldly.
If the Queen Mother had not signaled him not to do so, his bow would have pierced the other person's heart.
Zhang Liang remained silent. Although he could endure the humiliation in front of Queen Mother Zhao, it didn't mean he could accept the sarcasm of a guard. He chuckled and said, "Indeed, Guard Zhang should be thankful that Queen Mother Zhao values you, otherwise you wouldn't be here now."
Regardless of what Zhang Liang planned, the fact that he was able to kidnap the Queen Mother in front of him showed that he was incompetent!
"Heh - you're so sharp-tongued. You'd better not let me catch you, otherwise you will regret not killing yourself with my sword today." Zhang Han's face was cold.
After that assassination attempt, Zhang Han swore that he would never let the Queen Mother fall into danger again. Now a young man took advantage of the opportunity. How could he not hate her!
Zhang Liang was not afraid at all and looked confident that the Queen Mother would not let him die so easily. He just didn't know where the Queen Mother had heard of his name and why she trusted him so much?
Zhang Liang subconsciously wanted to touch the sword at his waist, but his touch was empty. Then he remembered that Queen Dowager Zhao had not returned the sword to him.
Zhao Yuanxi deliberately did not return the sword to him. Since he dared to kidnap her, it would not be excessive for her to charge some interest!
"Jang Geum, write two letters for me."
Although Zhao Yuanxi was practicing calligraphy, her brush writing was still terrible, so she asked Jang Geum to write for her in formal occasions.
"It's really beautiful." Zhao Yuanxi blew on the wet ink on the paper and praised it sincerely. Then he turned to You and asked, "Is the thing you asked me to prepare ready?"
You nodded and held up a big box.
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the contents, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Send someone to deliver this box and these two letters to Lord Changping's residence."
The atmosphere in Xianyang Palace was extremely solemn.
Ying Zheng rubbed his brow and asked impatiently, "Is Han Fei really still unwilling to return to Qin?"
Li Si knelt below and said, "Han Fei is a member of the Han royal family and will not betray Qin. Even if the king promises him great benefits, it will not move him."
"His memorial to the king of Han, ostensibly offering advice to Qin, was actually intended to delay Qin's plan to annihilate Han. Your Majesty, please reconsider! You must not let Han Fei affect Qin's grand plan to unify the world!"
Ying Zheng's gaze fell on the book of Han Fei at his side, his eyes were extremely complicated. Han Fei was a talented person, but if he obstructed his unification of the world, then this talent would be useless!
He could live without Han Fei, but no one else could possibly get him.
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes. If someone couldn't be used by him, there was no need to keep him.
When Li Si was retreating, he happened to run into Changping Jun who was rushing over.
The two men looked at each other, saluted each other, and then passed each other without saying much.
Han Fei had been in the Qin prison for almost four days.
Although the King of Qin did not treat him harshly, being in prison was not comfortable. He was in poor health to begin with, and the turbid air in the prison made his lungs extremely uncomfortable.
The ground was very damp, and the bedding here was only a three-foot-wide wooden board, which could not prevent the moisture from penetrating into the bones.
He coughed a few times and kept rubbing his knees with his hands in an attempt to relieve the pain in his legs.
There was a sound of iron chains outside, and the door opened from the outside. At this time, Li Si walked in.
Han Fei looked up and saw that it was him. A rare smile appeared on his face. "You're here!"
Li Si had a low table set up, dishes served, sat down opposite him, and poured him a glass of wine.
Han Fei also sensed something. His smile froze, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he drank the wine. "Did the King of Qin ask you to come and see me off?"
"I shouldn't have come, but my senior brother is my senior brother after all." Li Si's eyes were slightly sour, and he raised his head and drank a whole glass of wine.
He said calmly, "Brother, you shouldn't have come to Qin!"
There are so many countries he could go to, why did he choose to come to Qin? South Korea, a tiny country, would be taken by Qin sooner or later, it was not worth sacrificing himself at all.
Han Fei smiled bitterly, "I am Korean, born in Korea, and shall die for Korea."
Snap——
Li Si smashed his wine glass to the ground, grabbed Han Fei by the collar, and angrily said, "Do you understand? There are so many places you can go. There are so many other countries that offer more opportunities for you to display your talents."
"Why did you insist on defending that broken Han State? Why did you insist on entering Qin and being captured by the King of Qin? Now that you've been captured by the King of Qin, why are you unwilling to surrender?"
