The eldest brother knew that he had been maintaining contact with the anti-thief forces in Xianyang, but he had always turned a blind eye in the past.
Now that Yingzheng has returned, Fusu has been established as the crown prince, the Luowang forces headed by Zhao Gao have been uprooted, and the Qin State has adjusted its national policy and is preparing to bring peace to the world.
The anti-thief forces from all sides, faced with such a brand-new Qin State, are afraid that they will not be able to escape destruction.
The closest ones are the Bashu rebels west of Xianyang.
According to the announcement of Chu Nan Gong, mountain ghosts secretly controlled Bashu, and Han Xin, a disciple of Chu Nan Gong, commanded the battle. This was the rebel army most promising to destroy Qin.
Liu Ji, whom Duke Nan of Chu was interested in, was a man of great fortune and the most promising person to eventually conquer the world.
Duke Nan of Chu accepted three disciples, Han Xin, Liu Ji, and Zhang Liang.
Originally, it was really possible to achieve this. Send troops from Bashu, occupy the entire Guanzhong Plain, take advantage of the original Qin State, and then lead the army eastward to conquer the world.
But now it seems that it is over.
It was for the sake of Zhang Liang's life that Fu Nian wanted to completely cut off this junior brother's connection with the rebels.
"Back then, when the Qilin struck a shocking blow and the emperor passed away, you were very happy, Zifang. Now that His Majesty the Emperor has returned safely, can you still not see clearly, Zifang, the person behind all this?"
"How could I not know?"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth, and the two fingers holding the chess piece trembled slightly.
Lu Yan!
This was a name that was like a nightmare to him.
Destroying South Korea and killing Han Fei were the biggest disasters caused by Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms.
The current overall situation has played a trick on everyone in the world, even cruelly sacrificing many soldiers who were loyal to Qin.
He keeps saying that he is a benevolent gentleman, and the people of the Seven Kingdoms are all one family. But in action, even if the other ambitious people in the world are tied together, there will not be as many people killed as Lu Yan.
Lu Yan!
He is back.
"It is precisely because Yan Lu knows Lu Yan that he protects you and me in this way."
It was only after Fu Nian returned from Yingzheng that he realized Yan Lu's painstaking efforts.
This generation of Confucian Xiaoshengxian Manor, Fu Nian, Yan Lu, Zhang Liang, and the previous head Meng Si accepted three of them as disciples in turn.
Lu Yan was Xunzi's disciple, and Xunzi and Meng Si were close friends of the same generation.
In the Confucian relationship, the four of them can be regarded as senior brothers.
Yan Lu is obviously that link.
He had known Lu Yan since he was eight years old, and they had become life-and-death friends when they escaped from a trap together.
He also has a very good relationship with Fu Nian, Zhang Liang and his senior brothers.
However, everyone's beliefs conflict with each other, and no one will give up his persistence easily.
Yan Lu was caught in the middle, really in a dilemma.
He knew very well that if he did nothing and allowed the three of them to continue their persistence until the end, it would be a bloody tragedy.
Fu Nian, if Zhang Liang blocks the way, Lu Yan will really kill someone, just like he killed Han Fei.
Yan Lu will not blame anyone. If you want to kill me, I will naturally kill you. For example, if Zhang Liang has the chance, he will never hesitate to kill Lu Yan.
Therefore, Yan Lu used his own methods to eliminate possible murders among the three of them in advance.
It's just that this method is a bit biased. He is on Lu Yan's side.
Zhang Liang could not understand that Yan Lu, a descendant of the Zhou royal family, had forgotten the tragedy of the country's destruction and family destruction, and instead went to help the sworn enemy.
Fu Nian could understand Yan Lu, maybe because unlike Zhang Liang, he was born into a family of five generations of prime ministers.
"Hey, it seems you all know that I'm back."
During the chess game between two people, a man in black suddenly appeared in the middle and sat down with his legs crossed.
Fu Nian and Zhang Liang were stunned for the first time.
With his own martial arts, he was able to get close to this place without being noticed?
After a moment of daze, horror!
Lu Yan?!
"You are, Lu Yan."
Zhang Liang was already gnashing his teeth secretly, a deep voice leaked out of his mouth, and a sinister look fell on his handsome face.
Lu Yan stretched out his finger and scratched his face, a little surprised, "You can recognize me at a glance with the way I look now. You can do it, ovary."
Even if you turn into ashes, I will definitely recognize you!
Zhang Liang took a deep breath and loosened his secretly clenched fists. He knew that facing the man in front of him, his meager martial arts skills were meaningless.
"Lu Yan, it is indeed you."
Fu Nian looked at it more carefully, frowned, and sighed: "Qilin Hui Nongyu raised the flag of anti-Qin and pushed the Qin country to the edge, but it turned out to be your plan. Count the world, and everyone will do it."
Chess piece, Lu Yan, your changes have been so great that I can no longer recognize you."
"Have you changed? Maybe among us, only Yan Lu has not changed at all."
Lu Yan admitted frankly that he was no longer the passionate young man who had just traveled through time. After more than 20 years, to be honest, he also hated who he was now.
"Hey, Yan Lu is better."
No one spoke between the three of them, they fell into silence, and the atmosphere was dead.
"Now that you have appeared, everyone who was deceived by Nongyu, including Chen Sheng, Zhang Chu of Wu Kuang, Wei, Qi, and Xiang Chu, will be destroyed one by one. From now on, no one will dare to resist the empire."
Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Liang who spoke again. He stared at Lu Yan's side face with ghostly symbols and said coldly: "Congratulations, you have completely won."
"I won."
Lu Yan blinked, stretched out his hand and squeezed it, his tone inexplicable.
Where do you win?
He is already dead, and now this body is made up of the magic power of Chi You Sword, and is just a shell.
Where did I win?
Is it because she and Nong Yu spent less time together and more time apart? They were separated for ten years, and the couple didn't even have a child.
It is still the huge golden bronze statue in Xianyang. When many people in the Qin State make sacrifices, they will remember that there is a national master.
Still now, you, Zhang Liang, are projecting a look of hatred towards me.
"Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, you are obviously a very smart person. Really, you can't even say a word without speculation."
Lu Yan couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being stupid. The two of them were playing chess and they could just observe them secretly. Why talk so much.
If you have this time, why not go find Luna and Yan to catch up on old times. By the way, tell them that you can take care of the battle, so you can just let go and smash that old witch Shangui to pieces.
"That's all, I shouldn't have shown up. You two senior fellow apprentices, let's continue playing chess and chatting. I'm leaving."
He closed his eyes and looked for the person. He suddenly disappeared directly in the eyes of Fu Nian and Zhang Liang.
"..."
Fu Nian looked at the empty position, was silent for a long time, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In the realm of unity between man and nature, he may have surpassed Uncle Xun."
Zhang Liang threw down the chess pieces dejectedly, stood up and left without saying a word.
When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and said to Fu Nian: "Senior Brother, I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to rest. Don't worry, I'm just resting."
Fu Nian nodded and did not force him to stay, "Well, you can go."
Saying goodbye to his senior brother, Zhang Liang walked out, walking aimlessly, his heart shrouded in despair and powerlessness.
Born in such an era, what is the significance of Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang?
Ying Zheng has returned, Lu Yan has returned, everything is a foregone conclusion. The dream of destroying Qin has awakened. What good can Zhang Liang do in this life?
Today is the last time people saw Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, the little Confucian sage Zhuang San, the teacher of the Imperial Central Academy.
It wasn't until more than ten years later that rumors began to spread in the world. It seemed that someone had seen the "empty valley facing the wind, and the world in a world of peace".
Zhang Liang's whereabouts have become an interesting mystery in history.
