Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Zhang Liang, the Sage of Strategy
The enemy was not far away and was within Zhu Dan's spiritual sense range. She released her spiritual sense without hesitation to trap this person.
If there is any abnormal movement, strangle it immediately.
Zhu Dan doesn't care about fairness or unfairness, or whether he is using his spiritual power to bully the local natives.
What a joke! She only has a temporary residence permit and is being guarded against by the Heavenly Dao. But if she can't even defend herself against the locals, then she might as well join hands with Wutong and have a fight with the Heavenly Dao of this world first.
As the Emperor of Dan, she had long developed a sense of pride.
This person was obviously not someone who would surrender easily. Although his spiritual consciousness could not be seen, he felt that he was being imprisoned. He immediately mobilized the power in his body to try to break free and escape.
Zhu Dan's expression changed. Although the strength of the struggle was nothing to her, it brought a vague sense of crisis.
Why would a mortal give himself such a crisis warning? Zhu Dan decisively decided to strike first.
This was also a habit she had developed in the world of cultivation. She never looked down on any weak person. She would take action first, otherwise the other person would summon some big man or take out a powerful self-defense trump card, and then she would be in trouble.
Zhu Dan knows very well that villains die because they talk too much.
Just as she was about to strike, Tiandao didn't stop her. Instead, Tangyuan screamed and said quickly, "Master, please show mercy!"
Zhu Dan paused in her attempt to root out the problem. She didn't believe in the laws of nature, and she didn't even fully trust Wutong, but she had complete faith in Tangyuan. "What's wrong?"
"Master, don't act hastily. I just collected this person's attributes and luck, and I have a feeling that they will be very useful to you. Perhaps this person can help you resolve the snowstorm that's troubling you."
Zhu Dan was stunned. This person's spiritual power also has attributes. The person who came to kill her inexplicably is also a historical celebrity?
Almost subconsciously, a name popped up in Zhu Dan's mind.
She gave Gongsun Liu a few words of advice, came out of the alchemy furnace, and walked step by step towards the trapped person with mixed feelings.
If it was really him, Zhu Dan was in a dilemma.
She likes Zheng Ge and has a good impression of him, but they happen to be in a hostile relationship.
Zheng Ge will not let the remnants of the six kingdoms go, and this man also wants to assassinate Zheng Ge.
Of course, no matter how much she likes him, in Zhu Dan's eyes, Brother Zheng is still the first.
Zhu Dan's steps became firmer from hesitation, and he walked up to the person who was wrapped tightly.
He was also very tall, but a little shorter than Zheng Ge. Zhu Dan just stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder.
With a few crackling sounds, the cloak that covered the man tightly was torn open, revealing his extremely handsome face that looked like a crown of jade.
Unlike Zheng Ge's sharp edges and powerful and domineering appearance, this man has a delicate face and facial features as if they were carefully carved by the goddess Nuwa. He looks more like a pretty boy than Fusu.
Even the softer outline is more neutral. With a little dressing up and wearing a skirt, she can become a beautiful beauty.
If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be Zhang Liang, the beautiful Zhang Zifang who is recorded in history.
At this moment, he was firmly held by Zhu Dan's consciousness, and his beautiful eyes stared at him intently.
For some reason, Zhu Dan felt somewhat guilty and ashamed.
Isn't it a bad idea to use spiritual power to destroy someone's cloak right away?
But who had made him hide his head and reveal his tail in the first place? Zhu Dan spoke up again, "You're Zhang Liang, right? Did you hear about my appointment as Imperial Preceptor and plan to assassinate me like you did Sha Zhengge at Bolingsha?"
Zhang Liang, who was originally angry, was stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He came to Xianyang half a month ago. As a remnant of the six kingdoms who were determined to restore Han, he was of course very concerned about Xianyang and the King of Qin.
So he suddenly learned that a disciple of an immortal had come out of nowhere and had actually cured the poison left by the elixir that King Qin had taken before, and also made him look more than ten years younger.
Although Zhang Liang knew that the rumors were bound to be exaggerated, he still came to investigate the situation.
The longer he traveled between Lantian County and Xianyang and the more he learned, the more frightened he became.
Regardless of whether this so-called national teacher is really a disciple of a god, she did bring about great beneficial changes to the Qin State.
How could Zhang Liang stand by and watch? He made a decision without hesitation: to assassinate the Qin State Master.
Since all the changes were brought about by her, they will naturally cease to exist if she dies.
Zhang Liang was not stupid enough to take action in the Xianyang Palace, but fortunately this man came to Lantian County as usual, so he seized the opportunity.
However, Zhang Liang was very sure that he was just watching her secretly. In order to guard against the guards around her, this kind of observation and reconnaissance was extremely obscure, and he basically never met the other party.
Why did she recognize me as soon as they met?
He had clearly sensed the murderous intent before, but after seeing his face, the other party's murderous intent turned into a very complicated emotion, including excitement, hesitation, embarrassment... and so on, but the murderous intent disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Liang remained silent and did not answer, feeling alert in his heart that this person was very strange.
Although he didn't say anything and quickly calmed down, Zhu Dan still caught the fleeting surprise.
She was certain that this person was indeed Zhang Liang without the other party's admission.
Zhang Liang was one of the three founding heroes of the early Han Dynasty. He was praised by Liu Bang for his ability to plan in the tent and win battles thousands of miles away. How could he not have his own unique attributes and luck?
However, Tangyuan said that he felt his luck could solve the current snow disaster. Zhu Dan touched his chin unconsciously, wondering what kind of elixir Zhang Liang could use to refine that would be useful for the current snow disaster?
She stared straight at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang blushed a little at first, but soon found that her eyes were unfocused and empty.
This is looking at him, but not looking at him.
The strange feeling in Zhang Liang's heart became stronger.
At this time, the two armored guards who had belatedly surrounded Zhang Liang looked as if they were used to it.
Just by looking at the Imperial Master's expression, one could tell that she had suddenly had another inspiration.
Zhu Dan was in a hurry to return to Lantian County today, but Cao Teng happened to be on vacation, so he did not follow him. Even Zhu Dan himself only brought two people with him as a gesture.
After seeing Zhu Dan enlarge the alchemy cauldron and protect a group of people from the exploding blast furnace, Ying Zheng completely believed in Zhu Dan's ability to protect himself.
After that, they finally stopped worrying about gains and losses and respected Zhu Dan's ideas about the ceremonial procession, allowing her to bring as many people as she wanted.
Although, when Zhu Dan went to the wild to collect materials before, the useless armored guards he sent didn't play much of a role.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Liang couldn't help himself first.
The two armored guards glared at him when they heard this. How dare they disturb the inspiration of the national teacher!
Zhu Dan came back to her senses and looked at Zhang Liang. Her deepest impression of Zhang Liang was the phrase "planning in the tent and winning the battle thousands of miles away."
If we design a pill to deal with snow disasters based on this sentence, there is indeed a pill structure that can be borrowed.
Zhu Dan was thoughtful: "I need your help with something. Would you be willing to give me your luck?"
Zhang Liang: “…”
He was so angry that he laughed.
Although he didn't quite understand what Zhu Dan meant by luck, but - "I'm here to kill you, why do you think I might give you my things?"
Zhu Dan looked at him doubtfully. "Because you're here to kill me, I'm giving you a chance. If you channel your anger to me, we'll be even. I can let you go, and you don't have to worry about His Majesty causing trouble for you later."
Zhang Liang: “…”
Zhu Dan raised an eyebrow. "When you assassinated Brother Zheng and escaped, naturally no one would hold you accountable. But now you've been caught red-handed trying to assassinate the Great Qin State Master. You're facing two punishments. Do you think you can survive? So you'd better agree to transfer your energy to me, and then I'll plead for you in front of Brother Zheng."
Zhang Liang: “…” He was unable to refute it.
From her logic, this seemed to be the only way she could survive, but Zhang Liang sneered: "I am weak and I have fallen into your hands. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."
Of course, Zhang Liang would not just accept his fate and wait for death.
However, he keenly realized that the luck that the Qin State Master wanted to borrow was very important. It was very likely that it was because of this that the other party stopped trying to kill him.
Zhu Dan didn't realize that he was waiting for a good price. He frowned and looked at the person in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.
From what she knew, Zhang Liang was devoted to restoring his country, and he hated Zheng Ge and the Qin Dynasty so much that he might rather die than obey.
However, she was unwilling to give up just like that, so she withdrew her spiritual power.
Zhang Liang immediately felt that the thing that trapped him was gone. Just as he was about to draw his sword, Zhu Dan suddenly stepped forward and patted his shoulder again.
When it fell, Zhang Liang felt a force violently rushing into his body and flowing through his tendons and veins.
There was a look of disbelief in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
This person sealed his power and did not notice any difference between the spiritual power used by Zhu Dan and the Qi they practiced. He just thought that although the other party was young, he was a master.
Zhang Liang understood somewhat, no wonder the King of Qin appointed her as the national teacher.
In the past, the King of Qin also favored alchemists, but no one could reach the level of the national teacher. I think it was because this person had some real skills.
He looked at Zhu Dan and said calmly, "Master, are you not going to kill me? But even if you spare my life, I will not cooperate with you. My Zhang family has served as prime ministers of Han for five generations. The King of Han has been indebted to me. And since the King of Qin destroyed Han, my hatred for you will never be resolved."
"Haven't you seen through Han Wangsun yet? That cowardly fellow who's afraid of death and loves life?" Originally, Zhu Dan didn't want to get so heated right away.
She was determined to convince him slowly.
But when she heard Zhang Liang mention King Han and Zheng Ge together, she couldn't help it.
"It's said that a scholar will die for his friend. Zheng Ge is a man of great talent and strategy, and he has achieved an unprecedented feat of unification. In comparison, what does Han Wangsun have?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhang Liang remained silent for a moment before saying, "From a personal standpoint, I admire the King of Qin, but I am more than just Zhang Zifang."
He did not refute Zhu Dan's evaluation of Han Wangsun, which shows that he also understood Han Wangsun's nature.
But Han Wangsun does not just represent himself, he is looking at the country of Korea behind him.
At this time, Zhang Liang was more calm than the youthful vigor he had shown when he tried to assassinate Ying Zheng in Bolingsha. He no longer saw only the King of Han and the Han royal family as extreme.
He was looking at South Korea.
Zhu Dan sighed softly and understood his hidden meaning, which is why Zhang Liang later defected to Liu Bang.
She suddenly was no longer in a hurry to return to Xianyang.
Zhang Liang was different from Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, Li Si and others. Regardless of whether they had opinions about him in their hearts, they all stood on Zheng Ge's side.
As long as there is a desire or something to ask for, even if there is fear in his heart, he can quickly convince himself to be willing, but Zhang Liang is a great strategist.
Compared with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang who did not dare to return when Zheng Ge was around, he was the one who actually bribed a strong man to assassinate Zheng Ge.
This man's courage and pride will never make him compromise easily.
It is not easy to express your willingness willingly, it takes time to cultivate it.
