[Thanks to two fruit candies, book friend 4251]
The clouds came out of Xiu, and no blue appeared in the sky.
After traveling for two days, Xu Zhi and Zhang Liang still maintained the same silence as before in Zhilan Palace.
The curtains of the carriage are hanging down and swaying along the way.
Xu Zhi was extra vigilant on the first day of the trip, but nothing happened, and for the next five days, there were no accidents.
Ever since Xu Zhi knew the name of the adult who was escorting her, she felt particularly relieved.
Not long after the carriage left Xianyang, she opened the window and let Ah Yue call the general who was mainly responsible for her escort to come over.
The general removed his sword, took off his helmet, knelt at the foot of the carriage steps, and spoke through the curtain of the curtain.
His voice was very deep, like a beaten drum, dull and loud, just like his later reputation.
"The last general's surname is Zhang and Han, and he is a member of the Weiwei. He dare not bear the title of princess."
She silently recited the name "Zhang Han."
Xu Zhi could not recover from his name for a long time.
Xu Zhi was a little surprised as to why it was Zhang Han.
She looked at the position where his voice came from and thought for a long time.
In the first year of Qin II, Zhang Han, the young governor of the Qin Dynasty, was ordered to lead Lishan prisoners and slave-born children to attack Chen Sheng's general Zhou Zhang's army, and won repeated battles.
At this time, the voice of a Qin servant came from not far behind, "Princess, Mr. Zhang Liang sent me to ask, why hasn't the princess set off yet?"
"Keep the teacher waiting."
Zhang Liang asked his attendants to ask at this time, probably because he had agreed on a time with people on the road.
Xu Zhi didn't need to think too much to understand that there would be no shortage of ambushes on the road to Yongcheng. Li Si had a word with her in advance. He would pave the way for this matter in the court. If she found out that the upcoming crisis on this trip was related to Zhang Liang, he would tell her to break it off.
Xu Zhi's heart felt a little heavy, as if a huge stone was weighing on her, and because she had been sitting in a car with no ventilation for three hours, she wanted to get some air.
Xu Zhi turned to the gathering light and said to Zhang Han, "This trip is rewarding."
Zhang Han had heard many stories about Princess Hehua before he came, and he thought she was giving him a warning, so he bowed solemnly: "I will let the princess go to Yongcheng safely. If the princess makes any mistake, I will die to apologize." .”
Xu Zhi rolled up the curtains and saw Zhang Han.
He was about thirty years old and had a pair of bright eyes.
Xu Zhi lay on the side of the car window, staring, suppressing the tension under his eyes and said in a brisk tone: "It's always life and death. It sounds scary. You have to live well, and you also have to be a general to serve the Qin Dynasty. .”
Zhang Han saw the little princess smiling like a flower from the cold wind.
"In the end, we will fulfill our mission."
On the third day, everything was still fine.
Xu Zhi also secretly asked Zhang Han about the situation at night, and the answer was "nothing unusual."
Xu Zhi showed a sense of tourism along the way. She deliberately slowed down her journey so that Li Xian's people could keep a suitable distance from her.
On the fourth day, the sun was high, the wind continued unabated, and the mountains and valleys became even colder.
The vehicle had obviously run up the mountain road, and there were many broken pebbles, which intensified the shaking feeling.
Suddenly, a sudden feeling suddenly made Xu Zhi lean forward. As soon as she stabilized herself, she heard someone outside the carriage hurriedly saying:
"Princess, I'm sorry, there are so many rocks falling in the mountains that your wheel is not very damaged. It needs to be repaired by the craftsmen."
"How long will it take?" Xu Zhi asked. The fifth day was the time for her to meet Li Xian.
If anything happens, the Qin army he brought will be responsible for arresting Zhang Liang. If nothing happens, he will follow her to Yongcheng on the grounds that Zong Zheng sent more troops.
"Both wheels were broken, about half an hour." The answer was Zhang Han.
"How long will it take for us to get out of this mountain?"
"Princess, it's about half an hour."
Xu Zhi raised the curtain, and by modern time it was almost four or five in the afternoon. It would be dusk in a little while longer, and it would be extremely dangerous to move forward with a torch.
The clouds are accumulating and it is threatening to rain. It was raining in the mountains, and the roads were even more difficult to walk. It was okay for her to ride in the car, but it was difficult for the soldiers and entourage who were walking, not to mention it was still winter.
"Forget it, Zhang Han, go and tell the teacher that I plan to ride with him."
"Ah? There may be something wrong with this. Why don't you let me ride a horse, and the princess can ride in his car."
Xu Zhi smiled and said, "General, this method is very good."
She didn't bother to care whether Zhang Liang would get caught in the rain.
"Please sir, get out of the car."
Zhang Liang looked at the car in front of him and stopped, his heart hanging in the air.
It is rare for a princess to return to Yongcheng alone with such a ceremony. The Yongcheng clan clearly knows that Yingzheng attaches great importance to this girl beyond common sense.
Xu Zhi herself was also dressed very solemnly, with three layers of dresses alone. White, red and black intertwined, with clouds and thunder patterns on the edges, and it was covered with a soft and thick fox fur.
That figure is no longer red, but white.
She walked towards him step by step.
Step by step towards the ending that belongs to her.
It was as early as in the palace of Xinzheng, when he did not put down the pottery cup, the ending of an enemy princess.
He is not Han Fei, and he does not have to bear the responsibilities of the royal family, but his heart has been given to South Korea in the ten years since he was sensible.
With the support of the Baoyuan clan, with his cleverness, he could use the Bao clan to kill Ying Hehua while also killing himself and the Zhang family.
Why did he foolishly enter this round?
"In front of Xianyang Palace, what is brother blocking?"
The tone of Zhang Yuan's question was the same as the one he asked Zhang Liang when he heard about Ying Hehua's assassination for the first time in front of Zhilan Palace, rippling with a meaningful sense of complacency.
Zhang Yuan has no strategy for other matters. The only thing he can be sure of is - "Brother, you are not willing to let Ying Hehua die."
The more Zhang Liang ordered himself to forget, the more he emphasized that those were the methods of summoning surrender, the more he wanted to tell himself that all people in Qin were tigers and wolves, and only the gains and losses of rights and land were in his eyes, the more he would get lost in this mist.
Crossbows with superb shooting skills lay in ambush at the valley pass.
Just waiting for Ying Hehua to step onto the carriage, and the moment she lowered her head to lift the curtain, Ah Yue would immediately grab her sleeve, and the arrow would immediately pierce her heart from behind.
What does Zhang Liang want to do?
It's simple, he just needs to stay still or stay away when chaos breaks out.
And Xu Zhi is also waiting for an opportunity.
Except Li Xian is in the dark.
She also had her own barrier. She was no longer as confident as before. Fate split them in half. She practiced over and over again how to draw the short blade from her waist as quickly as possible.
The mountain wind blew the tips of her hair in front of her body.
Zhang Liang stood beside the carriage.
Xu Zhi stopped a few steps away from him.
She still carried out the question of respecting teachers: "Teacher, my carriage is broken down. Can I ride in your carriage? Or would you like to ride with me, teacher?"
Zhang Liang had never felt that the winter wind was so cold, and he had never felt that she was so far away from him.
He laughed at the fact that it was a very risky thing for Howard to make a bet with himself.
And why isn't he?
"I follow what the princess said."
The moment he met her, his sleeves suddenly heaved, and he saw that there was a plan in her pupils, and at the same time there were bright night pearls.
"If you don't want to ride with me, you can ride away on your own."
"Where to go."
With the last of his patience, Xu Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said, "After saving Han Fei, if it weren't for my father, you would have left Xianyang, wouldn't you?"
She raised her face and looked directly at him, "You are Zhang Liang. Maybe you have your mission. Since I can't keep you, why not let you go free."
The haze blurred Xu Zhi's vision. When she said these words, Hetu somehow regained some warmth.
Zhang Liang's whole body was stirred by these words. "If you let me go, how will it end?"
"Do you think I came to Yongcheng because I was afraid of Xianyang's assassination?" As he spoke, Zhang Han had already brought a bay-red horse.
Xu Zhi looked at Zhang Han, loosened Zhang Liang's sleeves, and did not want to explain more, "The affairs of the Qin State are complicated, and I still have many things to do."
She let out a long breath, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
"As for you, I don't want to make the same mistake as Li Si."
Zhang Han saw the princess pulling Zhang Liang's sleeve and thought it was some unknown argument between the princess and Zhang Liang. He didn't want to touch such a royal secret, so he consciously stood at a distance.
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he had already arrived at Zhang Liang's carriage, and Ah Yue put down a pedal.
She lifted up her skirt, and one of her feet was already in the rut!
It was quiet all around, the hidden cloud crows had not taken off, and there was still heavy snow hanging on the pine and cypress trees.
"grown ups."
Li Xian slightly raised his hand to stop talking. The arrow is on the string, pointed at the moving target.
His eyes were as dark as night. As long as Zhang Liang rode his horse out of Xu Zhi's sight, Zhang Liang would definitely die.
There are too many ways to explain why he died in the wilderness.
The moment Xu Zhi put his other foot up, Zhang Liang turned his head.
In the valley, the birds are silent, most animals are hibernating, and a lot of snow has been shaken off.
Xu Zhi saw Zhang Liang loosen the reins quickly.
"Teacher, do you want to ride with me? Then get in the car."
As soon as Xu Zhi finished speaking, he lowered his head and entered the carriage.
Zhang Liang stepped heavily on the rut, and Zhang Liang, who did not know martial arts, suddenly ran into her sight.
Perhaps because she had seen a crossbow machine, her vision always became very clear, and she saw a sudden arrow coming from behind Zhang Liang!
The direction of the arrow's shuttle was aimed at his head!
There was actually a hint of a faint smile in Zhang Liang's eyes. His eyes were like flowing mercury, like quenched black water.
He wants me to die?
Since he wants her to die, why should he say anything to her - I won't.
The arrow was heading straight for her.
Xu Zhi felt completely desperate.
She looked into Zhang Liang's eyes.
At the moment when a person is on the verge of death, he can pass through a tunnel, communicate with light, see colorful colors, see the stars and the Milky Way, see people who have passed away, review his life, and feel some kind of boundary. exist.
Died in Zhang Liang's defense.
It's ironic enough and common sense enough.
In this life, the last thing she could do was to die.
Da Qin might be very different if it were less threatened by Zhang Liang, she comforted herself.
"You and I will die together, which is the end." As he said this, Xu Zhi quickly drew out the short sword at the pace of the drill without thinking.
The chilling wind penetrated the mountain forest and suddenly fell on her body.
"Princess!!" Zhang Han was shocked.
At the critical moment, she stabbed the knife into Zhang Liang's abdomen.
This was different from when she stabbed Zhao Jia, this time she used all her strength.
Her hands felt the greasy blood, and blood spurted out from the hilt of the knife.
However, Xu Zhi's body did not have any severe pain from being penetrated by a sharp arrow.
Her arm was pressed by Zhang Liang, and her back suddenly fell onto the car floor, with a heavy knock on the back of her head. What she felt was not numbness, and what she saw was not the sight of death with dilated pupils, but a shadow.
Zhang Liang was above her. He groaned and put his hands on her sides. Liquid dripped from Xu Zhi's cheeks, and red plum blossoms bloomed on her porcelain face.
Blood seeped out from the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth. His whole body was trembling, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. His expression had lost its previous indifference and became a little incomprehensible to her.
Her hands were shaking violently, her eyes were wide open in disbelief, and her mind was completely blank.
"You, you, why?"
Zhang Liang glanced down, freed up one hand, and prepared to pull out the knife with one hand.
"No! No, don't pull it out. You will bleed to death!"
Xu Zhi held his hand that drew the knife and tried her best to press on his wound.
Zhang Liang expected that she would stab him with this knife, but he didn't expect that it would be at the same moment.
Xu Zhi touched his back and saw that the arrow just inserted into his body.
"You, you said that the best strategy is to prevent yourself from getting involved." Her voice was trembling and crying.
He forced down a mouthful of blood, unable to say a word, and let out a low laugh in her ear.
Blood was bleeding from three places on his body. Zhang Liang finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell on her.
The wind around her calmed down, and all the noise disappeared at this moment, leaving only the heavy breathing of a few brown-red horses in her eardrums.
Zhang Han led his men to surround the chariots and sent a group of troops forward. The Bao clan members poured out from the mountains and fought with them.
"Master, Zhang Liang and the princess are both in the car."
"Zhang Liang has betrayed Han Chen's old army and turned against us! No need to show mercy!"
"Kill them all!"
The speaker had already pointed the crossbow at the leader of the chariot.
------------------
Fengxiang, known as Yong in ancient times and also known as Xifu, is one of the nine Chinese states (Yongzhou). It is the birthplace of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the area where the Qin Empire established its hegemony.
Lingshan is located 15 kilometers west of Fengxiang County. It was named Jiuding Lotus Mountain in ancient times. More than 2,600 years ago, Duke Mu of the Qin Dynasty was hunting here and encountered the divine bird Lingjiu, so it was named Lingjiu Mountain, later shortened to Lingshan. There are spirits in Lingshan, so naturally people come to worship and pray for blessings. There is a folk temple Jinghui Temple on the top of Lingshan Mountain. It was first built in the second year of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 781). It has been rebuilt in various dynasties and has the reputation of "the first Buddhist mountain in the northwest". During the temple fair on the first day of April every year, it is crowded with people and incense is flourishing. It has long been the first place of interest in Xifu.
