Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Cool Tyrant Brother Zheng and Furry
Zhu Dan walked to Zhang Liang's residence with some fear. He was hesitating whether to knock on the door and go in. Suddenly, the door opened by itself and Zhang Liang walked out.
She was startled and subconsciously took a step back, staring at Zhang Liang's face, trying to observe his current expression.
Zhang Liang looked a little dazed, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhu Dan suddenly appear: "What's wrong?"
"You look like you're not angry?" Zhu Dan still stared at him.
Zhang Liang was so smart that he immediately understood what Zhu Dan meant. He smiled bitterly and said, "What's the point of getting angry? Don't you want to borrow my luck? I promised you. When will it start?"
Zhu Dan saw the man's rather disheartened expression and couldn't help but explain, "Brother Zheng certainly wasn't using this to threaten or manipulate you. Our Great Qin is a unified Great Qin. They were once Koreans, but that doesn't stop them from being Qin citizens now. Although the first batch of grain donated by the ministers didn't reach the former Korean territory, Brother Zheng did order local officials to provide disaster relief."
The more Zhu Dan spoke, the more confident he became.
Zhang Liang's expression was complicated: "I know."
In fact, as Zhu Dan was looking for materials and saw the difficulties faced by the people of Guizhou due to the snow disaster, he was already shaken.
In the past, Zhang Liang only saw beautiful things. After he fell into poverty, he finally began to see ordinary people.
But he used to be paranoid and thought that he only cared about Koreans, until he and Zhu Dan came into close contact with the suffering of the people near Lantian County, saw children crying with hunger and shivering with cold; saw the elderly taking the initiative to go up the mountain to leave life to the next generation; saw adults chopping wood in the wind and snow... He found it difficult to distinguish whether those people were Koreans or Qin people.
Clearly they don't look much different.
So when they heard that the King of Qin had ordered disaster relief, all the nobles in Xianyang donated food and supplies, but the former land of Han fell behind.
He didn't know what kind of person the former King of Qin was, but he knew that in the eyes of the national teacher Zhu Dan, all people - whether they were nobles or common people, whether they were old Qin people or people of the old six kingdoms, they were all the same.
The honorable national teacher is a disciple of the immortal. Even if the former King of Qin was so stingy and only cared about the old Qin people, he would definitely treat everyone equally in front of the national teacher.
He deliberately told me this just as a warning.
But Zhang Liang, who was extremely intelligent, figured out a truth at that moment: even if everyone is treated equally, there are still differences in order.
After all, they are human beings, not gods. As human beings, there are close and distant relatives. The King of Qin has always been close to the State of Chu. It is said that the mother of the eldest prince Fusu is a Chu person. Wouldn't he be closer to the original Chu people under the influence of the people around him?
Han, were there any original Koreans in the court of Qin?
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.
With the help of the national teacher, King Ying Zheng of Qin's health gradually improved. It was unknown how long he would live in the future, not to mention that the national teacher was still actively inventing and creating various things to improve the lives of the people and win the hearts of the people all over the world.
If the Qin Dynasty really lasted for two generations, three generations, and even ten thousand generations, would the original Koreans always be one step behind?
The smarter a person is, the more and more deeply he thinks.
Zhang Liang could not accept this result, and he could not accept that the culprit for all this was himself, a descendant of the Zhang family who had served as prime ministers of Han for five generations.
Their family was highly valued by the King of Han, but weren't they also supported by the people of Han?
Zhang Liang took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
It is said that a good bird chooses a tree and a good minister chooses a master. He still could not accept compromising with King Ying Zheng of Qin, but he was willing to help Zhu Dan.
If he could really resolve this snow disaster and save millions of people in the world, it would not be in vain for Zhang Zifang to come to this world.
"How can I lend you my luck?" Having made up his mind, Zhang Liang no longer hesitated.
Zhu Dan looked at him in surprise and confusion, not being able to understand his logic for a moment.
She thought that Zhang Liang would be very angry when he found out about this plot, and would be even more disgusted with contributing his luck. Even if he agreed, the little friendship that had been cultivated with great difficulty during this period would return to indifference and alienation. But... what was going on?
Even friendlier? Zhu Dan scratched his head. "I've already gathered all the ingredients for that elixir. We can start now, but we still need to go back to Xianyang."
I don’t know if it was God’s will that helped her. Although everything withers in winter, there is a kind of flower that blooms in the wind and snow, and there is even a kind of mushroom that grows in the thick snow.
The areas with thinner snow looked malnourished, which gave Zhu Dan greater confidence in whether he could solve this snow disaster.
The time and place are all right, and it is God who deliberately facilitates this.
However, after taking a look at Zhang Liang's expression, Zhu Dan explained, "This snowstorm isn't limited to Lantian County. If you only use your luck to refine the elixir, I'm a little worried that it won't be enough..."
Zhang Liang was stunned and instantly understood what Zhu Dan meant.
She wanted to borrow the luck of King Ying Zheng of Qin. Currently, Ying Zheng was the most upright ruler of the Qin Dynasty. Only by using his luck could she cover all the areas affected by the snow disaster.
"Then go." Zhang Liang made the decision to go to Xianyang Palace to meet King Ying Zheng of Qin and he would not regret it.
The group took a carriage back to Xianyang. On the way, Zhu Dan opened the curtain, looked at the sky outside the window, and shook his head: "This snow won't stop for another half a month."
Zhang Liang quickly asked, "How long will it last?"
"I'm not sure about that," Zhu Dan said honestly, "but it probably won't rain again in the next two weeks. We have to seize this opportunity to promote the kang."
She can only see the celestial phenomena within a month and cannot be sure of anything beyond that.
But she didn't know if it was her illusion, but the celestial phenomena now seemed to be a little weirder than half a year ago. Could it be because of the snow?
Zhu Dan frowned, and unconsciously thought of the materials she had collected in the past half month, the winter flowers, and the Tianshan Snow Lotus she had heard of in her first life.
However, what she collected was pink and white, very unfamiliar, and even had a spiritual aura.
This mushroom was something he had never heard of before. It was so white that it almost blended into the snow. If Zhu Dan had not sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy, he would have missed it.
And after just a moment, the other thin mushrooms that had not been collected and placed in the jade box for preservation melted like ice and snow.
This characteristic is very similar to the spiritual medicine that Zhu Dan had seen in the world of cultivation, but although both of them have spiritual energy, they cannot even be considered spiritual plants, let alone spiritual medicine.
"It's weird." Zhu Dan muttered. If the spiritual energy around her was not as thin as it was half a year ago, she would almost think that the spiritual energy was about to revive.
The carriage arrived in Xianyang half a day later. The journey was smooth and the speed did not even decrease. This was naturally inseparable from the spiritual power that Zhu Dan infused into the horse.
If she were alone, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. It would be faster to ski on two boards, but this would mean she would have to bring Zhang Liang with her.
"Mr. Zhu." Ying Zheng learned the news in advance and waited for him at the door of the hall.
Zhu Dan's eyes lit up when he saw this. At this time, Ying Zheng's white hair had completely turned black, and his face had returned to that of a thirty-year-old, looking both young and calm. In order to keep warm, he wore a fluffy cloak.
Cool and domineering Zheng Ge and furry? A combination I'd never thought of! Zhu Dan wondered who suggested this.
Awesome, unlocked another idol skin.
"National Master." Two clear coughs were heard from the side, followed by Fusu's slightly resentful voice.
Zhu Dan smiled awkwardly and quickly greeted, "Fusu Xueyao, you guys are here too. Good afternoon."
Li Xueyao smiled slightly. She was no longer surprised that the Imperial Master could only see the King.
My beloved should have accepted the fact long ago. He already has a child, yet he still competes with his father for favor. How shameless!
"Let me introduce a friend to you." Zhu Dan pulled out Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang's expression slightly changed: "Zifang greets the king."
Ying Zheng glanced at him lightly and nodded, then turned his attention back to Zhu Dan. He asked her about her experiences in Lantian County over the past half month and talked about disaster relief.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang knew that the King of Qin was only accepting Zhu Dan's friendship because of his approval. He did not say anything, but listened quietly, like a beautiful wallflower.
He took a risk in coming here this time. The immortal disciple was well-versed in ancient and modern events and knew that he was the one who orchestrated the assassination in Bolingsha.
He was not sure whether the King of Qin would settle accounts with him if he entered Xianyang, but he came anyway.
Now it seems that the King of Qin really values the national teacher as much as the rumors say.
After a brief reminisce about the past, Zhu Dan rested for half an hour, adjusted his condition to the best, and prepared to make the elixir.
But before refining the elixir, there is one thing I want to tell Brother Zheng.
"What? This time, the alchemy is going to draw on the king's luck?"
"This is absolutely inappropriate! Your Majesty's life is tied to the Great Qin. What if we drain your luck and affect the stability of the Great Qin?"
"National Master, isn't this Zhang Liang you brought back the one who will draw the luck? Why do you need the king?"
Li Si and others changed color and tried to dissuade him.
Zhu Dan explained to them the difference between Zheng Ge and Zhang Liang. Even though Zhang Liang was one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, he was still a minister after all.
Maybe you can govern a place, but you can't govern a country.
Li Si said that the king had already arranged people to provide disaster relief, so there was no need for the king to take risks.
Whether the king's safety is more important or a certain place is more important, there is no need to even mention it.
Zhu Dan frowned. "I know my limits. Your Majesty's luck is unlike Fusu and the others, which rarely dissipate. I'm not completely sure I can draw on your luck with my secret method. I believe this is Heaven's protection of your Majesty. If I can draw it successfully, it means this is feasible. If not, I will just use Zhang Liang's luck."
She looked not at Li Si but at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, do you believe me?"
This matter was not entirely unexpected by Ying Zheng. He had thought before that Fusu, Li Si and others could all draw on luck, so what about himself?
What kind of elixir can he refine with his own luck? How will future generations evaluate him?
However, Zhu Dan never mentioned it. When he brought it up, she shook her head.
Now it seems that this is the reason, his destiny is different from others.
Ying Zheng felt a little elated.
So at this moment, facing Zhu Dan's eyes, he said without hesitation: "Of course, I believe you."
"Then let's get started." Zhu Dan glared at Li Si again, saying sarcastically, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. Judging from the color of the bracelet on your hand, it will be your turn in ten days or half a month. I just happened to have gathered all the ingredients for the Nirvana Pill. I'm really curious about what misfortune you'll encounter."
Li Si: “…” Well, although the immortal disciples are not particular about trivial matters, they are also petty and hold grudges.
