Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Li Shui and praised him full of praise.
Li Xin, who was standing next to him, looked a little jealous and shamelessly came up to him and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Huai's plan can be implemented because of my great efforts. If I hadn't gone to sue Yihuo, Han Mei wouldn't have been fooled."
Li Shui looked at Li Xin in surprise: "When did this guy become so shameless?"
Ying Zheng also looked at Li Xin helplessly.
When Huaiguzi was criticized just now, this guy looked like he was watching the excitement from the sidelines. The results of it? As soon as he heard that rewards would be given based on merit, he jumped out impatiently.
The Li Xin of the past was not like this.
Recently there are rumors in Xianyang City that anyone who stays with Huaiguzi for a long time will be subtly affected and become shameless.
Is this true?
Ying Zheng couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Li Shuigan laughed and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will withdraw."
Ying Zheng nodded.
Li Shui and Li Xin were about to leave when Ying Zheng suddenly stopped them again and said lightly: "I heard that Fu Yao wrote a book?"
Li Shui was stunned for a moment and complimented: "Your Majesty is really pervasive."
Ying Zheng: "Huh?"
Li Shui immediately changed his mind and said, "What I mean is that your Majesty really knows everything."
Ying Zheng said a little helplessly: "I doubt that your literary talent can teach Fu Yao to write anything good."
Li Shuigan laughed and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a look?"
Ying Zheng nodded, obviously very interested.
Li Xin handed over the comic book.
Ying Zheng opened it and looked at it, and then his eyes widened.
He was in disbelief: How could such a thing be called a book?
However, Li Shui was beside him as if he was imagining the future: "I have already thought about it. Within ten days, we can engrave and print. In fact, if we use movable type printing, it would not take ten days. The key is that we need to engrave and paint. This is It’s more troublesome.”
"Ten days later, the book will be sold like hotcakes. By then, Young Master Fu Yao will be famous. Alas, it's a pity that the Young Master refuses to use his real name. He just goes by the nickname Beiming Youyu."
Ying Zheng thought to himself: Fortunately, he didn't have his real name. It seems that Fu Yao still wants to lose face.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Shui and said calmly: "Do you really want to print this book? Are you going to help Fu Yao distribute it?"
Li Shui nodded and said, "Of course."
Ying Zheng sighed: "If by then, none of this book can be sold, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?"
After Ying Zheng asked this question, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I was negligent, and you probably won't feel embarrassed."
Li Shui felt aggrieved: He said this as if I was shameless.
He laughed dryly and said to Ying Zheng: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this book will definitely sell well."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Really? Then I'll have to take a look."
After chatting with Ying Zheng for a few words, Li Shui and Li Xin came out.
Before leaving, Ying Zheng returned the book to them.
Ying Zheng really has no interest in watching such children's stuff.
He even looked at Huaiguzi with some sympathy: It was hard for him. In order to make Fu Yao happy, he had to praise the book.
…………
In the prison, Han Mei sat on the straw and remained silent.
As luck would have it, the cell he was staying in was the same cell where Sheep Tail had killed someone.
Heaven's way is so full of reincarnation, now it's my turn.
Han Mei closed his eyes, and scenes of the past flooded into his mind.
His ancestor was originally a descendant of the King of Han. After several generations of concubines, his status became lower and lower.
So he came to Qin to look for opportunities. Logically speaking, good birds choose trees to roost in, and scholars die for those who know themselves. My own lineage has nothing to do with South Korea.
But the young man two days ago was really eloquent. After a long talk, he actually made himself agree to his request.
What kind of descendant of the Korean royal family wants to avenge the same clan?
Only by profiting from troubled times and disrupting the world can you get a high position.
When Korea is restored, it is necessary to establish oneself as the King of Korea.
Why did I agree so stupidly?
"Do I still have the idea of making a contribution in my heart? I shouldn't." Han Mei sat on the ground and murmured to himself: "Is it just because of my face? I don't want to admit it in front of that young man. Are you an unfilial descendant who is ashamed of his ancestors?"
Han Mei thought over and over for a while, and finally could only shake his head, thinking in his heart: "Maybe... that young man is too eloquent, and I unknowingly got his way."
"Now he is in prison and has been charged with rebellion. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out in this life."
Thinking of this, Han Mei couldn't help but shed tears.
He was very sad. He was doing a good job as a high-ranking official, so why did he become so obsessed with it that he listened to the young man's nonsense and wanted to overthrow Fu Yao and disrupt the world?
What makes him even more sad is that no one has said a kind word to him since he was caught.
What about those friends who were brothers in the past? What about those colleagues who enjoy drinking and chatting? Even if you say "Han Mei has always been loyal, he must have been deceived this time".
Unfortunately, there was no one there, everyone was busy talking about cameras.
Han Mei even wondered if he had been forgotten by the courtiers.
Just when he thought of this, he heard a cry from next door.
Han Mei asked casually: "Why are you crying?"
The person next door choked up and said: "When you sent me in, you clearly promised to take me out in three or two days. But now there is no news anymore, not even a meal delivery person. The villain suspects that I am Forgotten."
When Han Mei heard this, she suddenly felt sad, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for her neighbor.
As the saying goes, we are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we meet before?
In this prison, everyone is a prisoner, and there is no need to care about status.
As a result, Han Mei and the neighbor became more and more enthusiastic, and even thought of becoming sworn friends.
But before making the sworn vows, Han Mei subconsciously asked: "May I ask what your surname is?"
The man said: "The villain's name is Yong Chi."
Han Mei chuckled: "This name is very good, it sounds good to me, no, it sounds familiar. Eh? Are you Yong Chi? Are you the Yong Chi who took the photo to frame me?"
"Come here, I will strangle you to death."
Han Mei yelled crazily.
Yong Chi hid in the corner and trembled, muttering silently in his heart: "Exiled Immortal, when are you going to save me? This place is too scary."
…………
In Xianyang City, in a simple little hotel, a young man was sitting on a low couch, closing his eyes and concentrating.
He looked like he was asleep, but actually deep in thought.
This young man's name is Zhang Liang.
Therefore, he is the son of Prime Minister Han. Not long ago, he was the one who persuaded Han Mei to frame Fu Yao.
When Korea was destroyed, Zhang Liang lost his identity and status, and with the hatred of his country and family, he plotted to destroy Qin.
A few days ago, Zhang Liang met a mysterious old man who called himself Huang Shigong.
This Huangshi Gong once showed some magical methods in front of Zhang Liang, such as deducing Zhang Liang's origin just by looking at his face.
Therefore, Zhang Liang was in awe and felt that Huang Shigong might be some kind of unparalleled master.
Finally Huang Shigong taught Zhang Liang a book called "Tai Gong's Art of War".
The content of this book is very mysterious, and Zhang Liang has not understood it until now.
At the time of separation, Huang Shigong once divined Zhang Liang's future and gave him three words.
The first sentence: "You should make great achievements in this life and become a marquis!"
The second sentence: "There is a hero surnamed Liu in the southeast. He started from humble beginnings, but he made great achievements in Guanzhong and became famous all over the world. This is a strange thing that has never happened in ancient times. If you can make a marquis, it should be for this man."
The third sentence: "Due to an accident, all the above speculations have become impossible to make. What will happen in the future is so chaotic that I can't figure it out."
After saying these three sentences, Huang Shigong disappeared.
Zhang Liang was surprised and depressed.
What does this mean? Can you make great achievements and become a marquis? But because of something, it was all over?
Failure is even more depressing than having no hope in the first place.
However, Zhang Liang finally remembered the last sentence: "What will happen in the future is so chaotic that I can't figure it out."
Since it is chaos, since there is no way to understand it, there will always be a turning point, and it depends on people.
So Zhang Liang arrived at Guanzhong and entered Xianyang.
Thanks to Lishui's encouragement of business, the imperial court's control over people's migration was much relaxed. Otherwise, people like Zhang Liang would not be able to enter the city at all.
Not long ago, he followed the path of anti-Qin, trying to frame Fu Yao and create some chaos for the court, but it seemed that he failed.
Zhang Liang hid in a small hotel and began to think about where to go.
Judging from Huang Shigong's parting words, if he wants to make achievements, he cannot do it alone. He should find a helper, or in other words, a great hero.
And this great hero comes from the southeast, his surname is Liu, and he has established some achievements in Guanzhong...
Such people are hard to find. There are so many people in the world, and there are quite a few named Liu. How can you find them?
Zhang Liang was thinking hard, but couldn't figure it out. Finally, he sighed and walked out of the room.
As a result, as soon as he walked out, he saw the owner of the inn spanking his son.
The child lay on the boss's lap and kept crying.
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said, "Why do you want to beat him?"
The boss sighed, handed Zhang Liang a piece of paper, and said, "Look, this guy is so bold that he even tore up my paper."
Zhang Liang was a little speechless: "It's just a piece of paper, so what's the harm?"
The boss said: "This is not ordinary paper, this is the paper used to wrap barley pastries. I had a few businessmen living here last time, and they gave it to me."
"I'm going to frame this paper and hang it on the wall. Barley pastries are a symbol of status. In the words of people in Shangjun Courtyard, this is called... this is called light luxury. Light luxury."
Zhang Liang was a little speechless. He spread the paper and found a painting printed on it. There are four tall men with handsome faces in the painting.
At the bottom of the painting, there is a line of words: We are Liu brothers, and we love barley pastries.
Zhang Liang has been thinking hard about the Liu family all afternoon. Now when he saw this line of characters, he suddenly exclaimed: "The surname is Liu?"
The boss said to Zhang Liang: "My guest is from out of town. I'm afraid he doesn't know the Liu brothers, right? If we talk about who is the most popular in Guanzhong, it must be the Liu brothers."
Zhang Liang said in surprise: "Guanzhong? Are all women and children aware of this?"
The boss said: "Yes."
Zhang Liang's heart was pounding, and he asked cautiously: "They don't happen to be coming from the southeast, right?"
The boss exclaimed and said, "So the guest officer knows. Isn't Pei County Liu Ji in the southeast direction?"
Zhang Liang clenched his fists: "It's him, it must be him."
To be on the safe side, he checked with his boss: "This Liu Ji started from humble beginnings, right? Then he became famous?"
The boss said: "Yes. It is said that he was originally a poor man from Peixian County, who made a living by farming. After arriving in Xianyang City, he worked as a coolie in the Exalted Immortal Tower. Later, I don't know how, the fortunes turned, and he came into the Exalted Immortal's eyes."
"Almost overnight, these people became famous. Not long ago, barley merchants spent tens of millions of dollars to hire them as endorsements. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they also came from a poor background. Now they are popular and drink spicy food. I don't know if there are any How many beautiful women want to marry them."
While the boss was talking, his mouth was watering. Suddenly a hand came over and grabbed the boss's ear: "So? You envy them, right? You also want to marry some beautiful women, right?"
The boss was dragged away with a grimace.
Zhang Liang stood there and nodded slowly: "It turns out to be Liu Ji. Mr. Huang Shi is truly a god."
Zhang Liang walked out of the guest house and wanted to visit Liu Ji.
Now that Han Mei has been arrested, as Han Mei's accomplice, he is also in danger. But Zhang Liang was not afraid, because when he originally contacted Han Mei, he used a false name.
Zhang Liang had already made a plan. After meeting Liu Ji, he joined forces with him to rescue Han Mei first, and then took the opportunity to rebel.
Relying on Liu Ji's prestige in Xianyang City, as long as he raises his arms, there should be a large number of responders.
Obviously, Zhang Liang did not understand that the Liu brothers were not famous as heroes, but... as actors.
It's like everyone is a dog lover, but it's out of love for the dog, so they won't give the dog up, right?
It's a pity that Zhang Liang's time in Xianyang City was too short, and he didn't understand the twists and turns here. Just relying on past experience, I plunged into Shangjun Courtyard.
Unfortunately, Zhang Liang hit a snag just as he arrived at the gate of Shangjun Courtyard.
He was stopped by a gatekeeper who demanded a hundred thousand dollars from him.
Zhang Liang was a little reluctant to take the money.
It's not that he has no money. Not long ago, Zhang Liang sold all his family property, so he has a lot of money. It’s just that the money has already been used.
Through someone's introduction, he contacted a strong man named Cang Haijun, and planned to use the money to ask him to assassinate Qin.
Now that Canghai-kun's affairs haven't been settled yet, you have to spend 100,000 yuan here?
Zhang Liang was a little reluctant.
But... Cang Haijun's matter was to fight against Qin. Contacting Liu Ji was also for the purpose of opposing Qin. Grit your teeth and endure it.
So Zhang Liang took out 100,000 yuan.
Of course, this was just the first pit Zhang Liang, the anti-Qin strategist, stepped into in Shangjun Courtyard.
