"What's so great about me? These days, we can't even find a drop of clean water. It's so sad!"
Li Lin sighed.
Fortunately, he wasn't thirsty, otherwise he would have really abandoned his pride and drunk that water.
"Are you talking about the water here in the Xiongnu region? Oh, don't worry. This place is close to the Great Wall, and because of the wind and sand, even the clean water transported from the rear will have some impurities in it. I was also startled by General Meng last night, but it's not a big deal. Those impurities won't be absorbed. Just be careful when you drink it."
Zhang Liang recounted the story to Li Lin with a smile, his expression revealing immense pride.
Haha, Grand Tutor, I, Zhang Liang, thought there was nothing in this world you didn't know, but I never expected that this time, it would be my turn to teach you a lesson, wouldn't it?
This feels so good!
"Ahem, Zhang Liang, let's not talk about that for now. We've been traveling far and wide in the Qin state-owned bank. Are you sure you've completely handed it over to Xiao He? Why haven't we heard any news about the Qin state-owned bank starting up after all these days on the road?"
“Indeed, I also find it strange, but I think it’s probably because Xiao He has too many things to do and can’t make arrangements for the time being. Once he’s settled into his position as prime minister, he might bring up the matter of state-owned banks.”
"Sigh, you really can't rely on others!"
Li Lin shook his head. He hadn't even met Xiao He once. Who knew if Xiao He disliked his policies? Or perhaps Xiao He had his own set of governing principles?
Forget it, let's just ignore these things.
Let's deal with the Xiongnu issue first.
"Zhang Liang, what was Meng Tian's attitude when you arrived?"
"He doesn't seem to be in a great hurry about your life or death; in fact, he seems to want you to die among the Xiongnu."
"oh?"
Li Lin's brows furrowed deeply. "You mean, he's very hostile towards me?"
"That's right, he does seem to have a hostile attitude towards you."
"That's great, that's great! When you go back, tell him that I've surrendered to the Xiongnu!"
"ah?"
Zhang Liang's eyes widened. "No way, Grand Tutor, you're going to surrender to the Xiongnu?"
"good!"
Li Lin smiled mysteriously. He knew that Meng Tian had already received the First Emperor's order and would be playing along with him. As for Zhang Liang in front of him...
He was still kept in the dark and didn't know the truth.
After all, it's obvious to everyone that Meng Tian and Fu Su belong to the same faction, and he has a very close relationship with Fu Su. How could Meng Tian possibly be hostile towards him?
There's only one reasonable explanation: he was playing along.
