Chapter 114 We must keep it a secret from His Majesty



Then, after putting on his armor, holding the prepared rations, he ate a few bites haphazardly, drank a bowl of hot tea, and prepared to set off.

"Zifang, what are you doing?"

“My beloved teacher…”

"Why are you calling me the same as Han Xin and Mo Zhiyuan? Stop calling me that, or I won't be able to process it. Just call me Prime Minister."

"What? How can that be?"

"Why not? You can call me Grand Tutor, is that alright?"

"Alright, yes... Grand Tutor, I also wish to go on this expedition with you!"

"Are you sure you can handle this?"

"Grand Tutor, what are you saying? I've traveled the world for so many years, and my health is excellent. Cough cough, I'm just a little injured now, it won't delay the march!"

His large, eager eyes shone with a sincere expression.

However, his overall mental state was not very good.

She was very weak.

"No, Zhang Liang, you can't go. Your health is too poor. It's already late autumn, and winter is just around the corner. You should stay here and recover from your injuries. There will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future, so why worry about this?"

"this......"

"Is being a king or nobleman a privilege? It's good that you have such thoughts, that you're ambitious and motivated, but you also need to take care of your health. Health is the foundation of everything; without health, you're nothing!"

"Thank you for your advice, Grand Tutor. I understand!"

Zhang Liang nodded, stood aside, and respectfully saw him out of the mansion.

"Husband, let's mount our horses. Han Xin and the others have already gone thirty miles outside the city and are waiting for you. Oh, by the way, Father Emperor seems to be thirty miles outside the city today as well."

"What? His Majesty has come to see us off too?"

Hearing this, he was startled. Although he wasn't very good at riding horses, he still gritted his teeth and mounted the warhorse, the friction making his buttocks feel like they were about to peel off.

They ran to a place thirty miles outside the city.

Sure enough, there was a large group of people seeing him off.

The cold wind was biting and chilling.

Even His Majesty, who is usually very robust, couldn't help but wear several layers of clothing underneath.

Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, whose faces were red from the cold.

Inside the Prime Minister's residence.

Zhang Liang returned to his attic, collapsed onto the bed, and kept replaying the words Li Lin had just said to him in his mind.

"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny? Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny...?"

He turned over and over, muttering the same sentence over and over again: "But isn't the Grand Tutor already the Prime Minister of Qin? Why is he telling me the logic that kings and nobles are not born with a special destiny?"

"Could it be... could it be that his ambition isn't to be a mere prime minister, but rather to become...?"

"boom!"

He suddenly felt a door to truth open in his mind. "With such extraordinary insight and a powerful cognitive ability based on reality, able to see through the essence of things at a glance, such a person must be proud and arrogant, not one to remain subservient to others for long! It seems the Grand Tutor is scheming. Now he has won over Xiang Liang and his nephew from Chu, and plans to cultivate me, Han Xin, and that never-before-seen Xiao He into the core of the Prime Minister's office..."

He got out of bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the gloomy sky.

Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he revealed an unprecedented joy.

"It is absolutely impossible for me, Zhang Liang, to serve as a subject of the Qin Dynasty, but it is not impossible for me to serve as a subject of the Grand Tutor."

Zhang Liang suddenly had a brilliant idea.

It's unclear whether he misunderstood Li Lin's meaning or made it up in his own head.

In short, when Li Lin said those words, he had no idea that the true recipient of those words was Chen Sheng, four years later.

Chen Sheng said those words precisely because he wanted to start a rebellion.

However, Li Lin always confused this sentence with Napoleon's saying: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Thirty miles outside the city, a cold wind was blowing continuously.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Minister Li, the rebellion in Chu seems to have worsened. According to intelligence, the rebels probably number around 200,000. If your small force is not enough, retreat to Xiang County. To the south of Xiang County is Zhao Tuo's 200,000 Qin troops. I have already issued an imperial edict ordering him to be under your command."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand!"

"Also, the south is prone to miasma. This is a medicine developed by the imperial physicians to resist miasma. Take some with you, so that you will be prepared to resist it if you encounter miasma."

"Your Majesty, you have considered everything very thoroughly."

"Hahaha, I suffered a loss at the hands of the State of Chu back then, and so did your elder brother..."

The First Emperor smiled and was about to continue speaking when...

Suddenly, he saw Li Xin blushing in the crowd and coughing a few times, which made him immediately stop talking. He knew that such sarcastic jokes were normal.

But you should also pay attention to the occasion.

It wouldn't be fun if we angered Li Xin, this honest man.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will surely win this battle, and may the Great Qin Dynasty live ten thousand years!"

"Victory in this battle is assured, and the Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years!"

"Victory in this battle is assured, and the Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years!"

"Victory in this battle is assured, and the Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Li Lin awkwardly mounted his warhorse and led the army away slowly, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.
