"Brother Liang, we really killed Rich Master Chen..."
Just now, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. After everyone calmed down, they looked at the already cold Mr. Chen on the ground and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
"Kill it, kill it, manly man, put away those little girlish gestures, I will not hold you in my arms and whisper comfort."
It was also Liang Tong's first time to kill someone, and his legs were a little weak after the excitement of adrenaline wore off, but he knew that he could not show any cowardice at this moment, otherwise these little brats would immediately disperse and run for their lives. went.
"Brothers, now that we have killed Rich Master Chen, there is no way out. In this case, if a person dies, his eggs will fall into the sky, and he will not die for tens of millions of years. Brothers, please come with me. Let's have a taste of what it's like to be a master. ."
The oldest of these little brats was only eight or nine years old, and the youngest was only six years old. How could they understand so many things? It was just that Liang Tong had led them to eat beef, and now they had killed Rich Man Chen together. Everyone was confused about where to go next, and when they heard Liang Tong's words, a little kid under ten years old couldn't resist such confusing words, and they immediately agreed in many directions.
Time flies by, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye...
"Report~The capital of Yan State has been captured." The messenger hurried from the battlefield and loudly reported the victory before reaching the camp.
"Hahahahahaha, okay, okay!!!" In the camp at this time, Liang Tong's mouth was grinning. It's so pitiful. After twenty years of fighting, his brothers died one after another. , until today we finally captured Yan State.
"Pass the order to reward the three armies. Brothers can enter the city as freely as they want for three days. After three days, they will gather in King Yan's palace. Anyone who dares to indulge in pleasure and interfere with matters will not be spared."
Liang Tong waved his hand, and the brothers put their heads in their belts and charged forward. How could they not enjoy the victory after capturing the city.
Three days later, in the former Palace of the King of Yan, now the Palace of the King of Liang, Liang Tonggang had just finished discussing a series of matters regarding the establishment of the Liang Kingdom with his soldiers and counselors, and was about to enjoy the luxurious life that a king should have. After all, I have been fighting for half my life, and finally established a country and became king. Isn't that the right thing to enjoy life?
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wishes to see you."
"This old guy, if he didn't talk about it during the discussion just now, he must be holding back nothing good."
Liang Tong knew his prime minister very well. He was devoted to the country and the people, and was a bit stubborn. Since he came to see him in private, it must not be a glorious thing.
"Your Majesty, rumors have been spreading all over the city in recent days, and the fact that this is the case at Your Majesty's feet shows how powerful the rumors are outside. If this continues, it may not be conducive to the stability of the country."
As expected, there was no good news as soon as the Prime Minister walked in. Liang Tong's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Okay, okay! It seems that the head was chopped off too little. If the Prime Minister elaborates on the rumors, I would like to listen carefully." Listen to their evaluation of this king."
The prime minister sighed slightly in his heart. This king of his own had a rough background and was inevitably too murderous. He rarely chose to think of countermeasures for things that could be solved with a single sword.
"There are rumors in the city that the King of Liang is immoral and very cruel. He not only allowed his soldiers to burn, kill and loot, but also slaughtered all the Yan King's family, without any regard for the king's majesty."
Liang Tong stared at the Prime Minister sideways: "I'm afraid this is not telling the Prime Minister's inner thoughts. It seems that the person who spread these rumors is quite close to the Prime Minister. If we can meet, wouldn't he become a confidant?"
"I don't dare. It's just that spreading such rumors is really not conducive to the stability of the country. I hope the king will make a ruling as soon as possible and punish these people with ulterior motives." The prime minister immediately fell to the ground after hearing this and said sincerely.
"Actually, they are not wrong, but since they know how cruel I am, why do they still dare to stroke my tiger beard? Do they really think that my sword is harmful? Send the order and find it for me within three days. I want to see how many heads the person who spreads rumors has."
Liang Tong smiled ferociously. He didn't know whether these people didn't understand the principle of misfortune coming from the mouth, or whether they did have some character and dared to tell the truth. If he was caught, he would have to kill all the people in the next town. Kill him.
I just don’t know if they still have the guts to shout that the King of Liang is innocent when they see the heads of their relatives, friends, and fellow villagers rolling at his feet.
In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed, and Liang Tong is already thirty-five years old. In the past few years, under the governance of the Prime Minister, the Liang Kingdom has gradually returned to the right track. However, the successive battles in the early years left many hidden wounds on Liang Tong. , every time it rains, my whole body will feel a dull pain.
"Your Majesty, Qin's national power is getting stronger and stronger. Although Liang has become a little stronger in recent years, it is still far behind Qin. In the long run, the country may be in danger of overthrow."
The Prime Minister below was sitting on the chair and said to Liang Tong with a solemn expression.
Liang Tong also had a headache. They all said that it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it. The ancients did not deceive me. In the past few years, the Liang State was able to build up atop a ruined state, all thanks to the prime minister working day and night to handle state affairs. Otherwise, the prime minister would not have dared to say in front of Liang Tong that the country was in danger of subversion.
"The strength of the Qin State was not achieved in a day. Now the Qin State has become a general trend. People are already fighting for each other and I am a fish. If the other countries are still fighting against each other and are unwilling to work together, how can they survive?" What Liang Tong did to the other five countries. In order to sneer and not realize that they are about to die, the Qin State has sharpened its weapons to the point where they can blow off their hair and break their hair. These people are still praying that the butcher's knife will not fall on their heads.
Thinking of this, Liang Tong's eyes flashed fiercely: "Since they are willing to wait for death, then death in whose hands is not death. The prime minister quickly wrote to the other five countries to discuss the matter of fighting against Qin together. When the war begins, we will definitely Taking advantage of the Zhao Kingdom, we will suddenly attack and seize the Zhao King's city in one fell swoop, and capture the Zhao King alive to strengthen our Liang Kingdom."
"Your Majesty, once this move is made, the rest of the countries will no longer have any trust in us. Our strength as a country is not enough to resist Qin. I hope your Majesty will think again." The prime minister's face was solemn. Although your Majesty's plan can be taken by surprise. Under Zhao State, the gap between Liang State and Qin State is far from being smoothed out by annexing a Zhao State.
"Then do you think there is a perfect way? Now the Qin State has sharpened its sword. We are like the pigs and sheep in the pen waiting to be slaughtered. The other five countries still have their own thoughts. They don't want to believe us, and I am also worried about their critical situation. It's time to stab him, so it's better to annex a few more countries before Qin does, so there's still a glimmer of hope."
Liang Tong's eyes flashed fiercely and he said in a cold voice: "If the Liang Kingdom is destined to perish, I also hope that it will be the King of Qin who finally sweeps away the six kingdoms and establishes immortal achievements. It is not some young man hiding in the dark and waiting until the end. When we were in an inextricable fight with Qin, he suddenly came out and chopped off our heads and the King of Qin's, and publicly announced in front of everyone how stupid I and the King of Qin were."
The prime minister was speechless for a long time after hearing this. After a long time, he stood up from his seat, bowed his hands to Liang Tong, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I always thought that although the king was brave and decisive, he was simple-minded, extremely reckless, and murderous." He is over-minded and greedy for pleasure. If he does not dare to employ people, it is really difficult to achieve this hegemony. Today, after listening to the king's words, I realize that this old man has lived for fifty years. He thinks he is extremely smart and cares about his family, country and world, but in fact he is extremely narrow-minded and is worse than the man in the well. The frog sits in the well and looks at the sky."
"There is no need to flatter me. I am indeed a vulgar person. If you have no objections, then go down and prepare quickly. At this time of the country's survival, I am not in the mood to show you the deep love between king and minister." Liang Tong said impatiently. He waved his hand and signaled the Prime Minister to get out of here.
"promise"
After the prime minister bowed again, he turned around and walked out of the hall quickly. Not long after, the entire Liang Kingdom took action.
Half a year later, Liang destroyed Zhao.
The following year, Qin destroyed Han and Liang destroyed Qi.
After another five years, Qin destroyed Wei.
After another year, Qin destroyed Chu, and the Warring States Period entered its final stage, forming a confrontation between Qin and Liang, and a war was imminent.
"Your Majesty, there is an old god outside the door asking to see you."
Liang Tong, who had just finished discussing state affairs with the courtiers, rubbed his brows tiredly, and was about to go down to rest for a while, when he suddenly heard a report from the eunuch, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"No, since he is an old god, he will naturally have a way to enter the palace. I am waiting for him in the palace. You must be more vigilant. If someone sneaks into the palace, make sure I don't skin you."
The eunuch who came to deliver the message thought he could please the king, but the king did not believe in this old god. The eunuch was disappointed and had no choice but to retreat.
"Old man, the king said that since you are an old immortal, you will naturally have a way to enter the palace. The king is waiting for you in the palace." The eunuch who was frustrated saw the old man who claimed to be an immortal and became angry after seeing what he said. If the king of my family didn't believe it, then I wouldn't believe you either. I immediately told him Liang Tong's original words.
When the old man heard this, he immediately felt troubled. Although he had expected before this trip that King Liang was not so easy to ask for an audience and would inevitably have to go through a test, he did not expect it to be so difficult.
Most of the guards in this palace are experienced warriors. You can vaguely smell the bloody smell on their bodies from three feet away. How can it be so easy to get in? Even if you can get in, I'm afraid you will be disgraced and embarrassed. Unbearable.
Liang Tong didn't take this matter to heart. After returning to the palace, he took a nap in his clothes.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside to catch the assassin. Liang Tong suddenly woke up, took out the Liang Wang sword and rushed out. As soon as he left the palace, he saw an old man with white hair and beard being chased by guards in a panic. He was running towards the palace. Liang Tong saw that this man was not from the palace, so he raised his sword and struck at him. When the old man saw Liang Even though he was wearing the same clothes, he didn't resist. He immediately fell to the ground and shouted that he had seen King Liang.
"Are you the old god at the gate of the palace?" Liang Tongtong looked at his white beard and hair, bowed his head when he saw him, and suddenly remembered the old god the eunuch had just said.
"I don't dare to call him a god, but I do have some strange tricks. I am willing to serve the King of Liang."
Liang Tong looked at the old man, turned around and returned to the palace. Upon seeing this, the old man quickly followed him.
In the bedroom, Liang Tong was lying lazily on the bed, while the old man below was sitting upright, as if he was waiting for the exam.
"Since you can enter the palace, you must have some means. Please tell me why you came to seek refuge with me."
"The old man admires the king of Liang"
The old man was interrupted by Liang Tong before he finished speaking. As soon as he heard the beginning, he knew it was another flattery. It sounded very sincere, but in fact there was no truth.
"I will give you another chance. Think carefully about what to say."
This time the old man hesitated for a while, and just when Liang Tong was about to become impatient, the old man slowly said: "I heard that King Liang once said that if a man cannot be remembered forever, he will be infamy for thousands of years. Even though he is old and decrepit. , but I also want to try my best to gain fame after my death."
"Then do you know that our Daliang seems to be powerful, but the chance of winning against the Qin State is no more than 30%. The reason why the Great Qin has not attacked yet is just to digest the newly conquered land. When the Qin State stabilizes, that will be The day when I, Daliang, destroyed my country."
Liang Tong did not belittle or brag about himself. The reason why he had a 30% chance of winning was because the Qin State now had a large territory, and the dignitaries of the original country had not been wiped out, so there were still factors of instability.
After Liang Tong conquered Yan, Zhao, and Qi, he killed very few of the powerful people, and the country was much more stable than Qin.
The old man below heard Liang Tong's words and was so scared that he was sweating profusely. Who knew that Prince Liang could be so frank and forthright. If he was not appreciated by Prince Liang, he might not be able to leave the palace.
Dang Ji said sincerely: "The Qin State is indeed powerful, but because of this, does such a powerful Qin State need me, a person of unknown origin, to make suggestions? I heard that the king has always dared to employ people, so I came here to give it a try. "
"Oh? Then tell me what you know." Liang Tong asked lazily.
"I've been studying weird ways for more than eighty years. As long as it's a matter of this world, I can tell you more or less." When the old man heard Liang Tong ask what he knew, he suddenly got angry and touched his beard. Looks like he knows everything.
"Oh~ Then you know how to live forever." Liang Tong couldn't see his stinky look, and immediately prepared to make things difficult for him.
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard this, he turned pale with fright, grabbed his beard with both hands, and grinned in pain.
Liang Tong originally just wanted to tease the old man, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so great. Combined with the fact that he was able to break into the palace at the age of more than eighty years old, he couldn't help but feel moved.
Could it be that this world is not what I thought it was, or is it that I have only now seen the true side of the world?
Thinking of this, Liang Tong suddenly became excited. He originally thought that his end was to be defeated by the Qin army along with Daliang and become the first emperor of the ages. Unexpectedly, there is another turning point. If you can live forever until you return to the era you are familiar with, then this is an excellent option.
"Huh? I'm asking you a question. Aren't you bragging that you know more or less everything about this world?"
Seeing that Liang Tong was obviously really interested in this meeting, the old man couldn't help but feel annoyed at his gaffe just now, which made Liang Tong see the clues.
He immediately said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I have to tell you that this method is not a method of immortality. It is just a magic trick calculated by the old man. Moreover, no attempt has been made on this method since the old man calculated it. , Firstly, this method is too harmful to heaven and earth, and no one knows whether the person who survived in the end is a human or a demon. Secondly, this method lasted at least a thousand years from the beginning to the end. During this period, there are endless variables and great risks. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, , I’m afraid this eternal infamy will never be washed away.”
Liang Tong narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that this old boy actually had something, so he asked him to explain the principles of this method. The two immediately lowered their heads and started whispering.
After a long time, Liang Tong suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath.
"Hiss~ If you say it's a witchcraft, you're just trying to put your own face on it."
