Chapter 31 Zhang Liang's Helplessness

The people of Xianyang sent Ziying and his party out of the city gate, but they continued to follow.

"It's a long journey, let them go back," Ziying said to Zhao Cheng.

"promise."

Zhao Cheng walked to the end of the team and talked with the people for at least a moment before the people turned around and left.

It was already evening when Ziying and his entourage arrived at the Lishan Mausoleum. All the officials were already exhausted, and the family members of the leaders did not even have the strength to cry.

Under Ziying's watchful eyes, two golden nanmu coffins were safely buried beside the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. The two commanders followed the First Emperor life and death.

Feng Chang exerted his strength and said, "Lift..."

Before the word could be shouted out, Ziying glared at Fengchang.

"Crying in the morning was a real feeling, but it's meaningless to cry now during the ceremony." Ziying scolded.

"What the king said is absolutely true." Feng Chang replied in a low voice.

Ziying specially brought many carriages with his servants.

"My dear friends, please get on the carriage and return to the city." Ziying ordered.

For a long time, the civil and military officials did not make any move.

Zhao Cheng reminded, "The servant is the official in charge of the king's carriage, and the ministers dare not overstep."

"Stop talking nonsense, this is my order." Ziying urged,

All the officials were secretly grateful, boarded the carriage and headed back.

Ziying didn't feel any fatigue during the walk. He was secretly surprised by the strength coming from his stretched out arms while sitting in the carriage.

Ziying has been keeping a low profile since his early years, and is no different from a loser. His body can still be so strong, and he has to admire the bloodline of a winner.

Although King Wu of Qin died lifting the cauldron, one cannot deny his innate supernatural power.

What's more, the Ying family has a very well-known ancestor - the minister of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, Evil Lai. In later generations, there was a person who was called the Ancient Evil Lai, and that person was named Dian Wei.

Suddenly, the guard leading the way stopped, and Zhao Cheng came to the carriage.

"What's going on ahead?" Ziying asked.

"Back to the king, there is a man in front holding a forbidden book to stop the holy driver. He has been detained by the guards." Zhao Cheng said in a respectful tone.

"Forbidden books?" Ziying frowned, "What banned books?"

Zhao Cheng looked embarrassed and kept silent.

The First Emperor burned books to harass Confucian scholars. The books he burned were only history books other than the official history of the Qin Dynasty, and there was only one book that Zhao Cheng could not speak out about.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"!

Lu Buwei had no disobedient intentions at the time, but the male favorite he gave to the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, Lao Ai, gave birth to two sons with Zhao Ji, and even attempted to rebel.

The First Emperor was betrayed by his biological mother and threw his two children to death in a rage. He imprisoned Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei and Lao Ai were executed after being implicated.

"Your Majesty, do you need to kill that person?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Bring her here first." Ziying sighed, not afraid of death to stop her, and holding "Lu's Spring and Autumn", he had already guessed that it was the girl.

Not long after, the guards escorted Caiwei, who was dressed in plain white, to the stroller.

"I guessed it was you." Ziying said helplessly, "If you want to kill me, you have to bring your master with you."

Caiwei bit her thin lips and said unwillingly, "I didn't come to kill you today."

"Oh?" Ziying smiled slightly, "Then you are going to Shuzhong to ask for money from me?"

"No." Caiwei denied.

Ziying looked at Caiwei. A girl should be pretty and filial. Caiwei, who was already pretty, looked a little more pitiful.

"When Gai Nie died yesterday, I didn't see you like this. What happened today?" Ziying asked.

"I wanted to kill you yesterday, so I had to pretend." Caiwei glanced at Ziying.

"Bold!" Zhao Cheng shouted.

Caiwei ignored Zhao Cheng and continued, "The two commanders are also defending the territory of Qin, and today's filial piety is for them. Also, my master wants to help you, so don't let him down."

"Lingfen? Why?" Ziying was puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Lingfen was thinking, and he still had some prejudice against Lingfen.

"Don't worry about this, I just want to tell you this today." Caiwei said with a cold face.

Ziying's eyes stayed on "Lu's Spring and Autumn". Even if Lingfen really wanted to help him, Caiwei, as his disciple, should not come with anything provocative.

She just wanted Ziying to kill her, so that even if Lingfen had any idea of ​​helping him, it would be invalidated.

"It's too easy to be careful." Ziying secretly laughed in his heart.

"Okay, I understand." Ziying smiled, "Then let Zongzheng detain her."

"Zong Zheng?" Zhao Cheng was stunned.

Zongzheng was in charge of the official position of the emperor's relatives. If he wanted to arrest someone, he would have to let the Tingwei in charge of the prison come.

"That's right, this person is Chengjiao's granddaughter, so naturally she will be in charge of the clan." Ziying explained.

When the First Emperor killed Cheng Jiao, he deliberately did not implicate Cheng Jiao's relatives.

"Ziying, what are you doing?" Caiwei struggled in panic, "Have you forgotten what you said yesterday?"

"I was drunk yesterday, so I really can't remember what I said. When you get back to the palace, tell me slowly." Ziying said with a smile.

"Ziying, you go back on your word! You are a villain! You don't keep your word!" Caiwei struggled and cursed with a blushing face.

"Take them down and take good care of them. These are the Ying family." Ziying ordered the fat, white-haired Zongzheng.

Ziying was also wary of Lingfen. He didn't know the temper of Ren Xia. It would be better if Lingfen didn't come. But if Lingfen came, he would have to guard against him changing his mind. Caiwei would be considered a hostage.

"Ziying, I can't spare you!"

Caiwei's voice became farther and farther away.

High on the mountain, Fan Kuai and Zhang Liang looked far away at Ziying's horse carriage.

"The man who became the king is so pretentious. He still wants to show off like this when he is about to die." Fan Kuai said with some disgust, "When I enter Xianyang, I will be the first to chop off Ziying's head."

Zhang Liang sighed slowly, "There are mulberry trees on the slopes and poplar trees on the horizon. Now that I have seen a gentleman, he is sitting on a drum and a spring. The one who is now is unhappy, and the one who has passed away will perish."

After becoming a nobleman and experiencing the destruction of his country, Zhang Liang could fully understand Ziying's mood.

Fan Kuai couldn't understand what Zhang Liang said, "Mr. Zifang, Liu Ji, I heard your opinion that if I don't work on the problem today, I have to go tomorrow. My sword hand has been a little itchy these days."

"No." Zhang Liang said, "The pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We still need to bribe the soldiers guarding the city and attack them when they are relaxed."

"Oh, it's true." Fan Kuai couldn't wait anymore, "Then we still have to wait for Li Shiqi and Lu Jia to successfully bribe?"

"Of course we have to wait." Zhang Liang said calmly. He seemed to have seen the scene of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng Xianyang soon, coercing Liu Bang.

According to Xiang Yu's temper, if he knew that Liu Bang was waiting outside Yaoguan to enter the Pass before him, he would definitely treat Liu Bang kindly after entering Xianyang.

Unfortunately, the general trend was that Zhang Liang could not stop the soldiers who were eager to make achievements.

"Commander Fan." Zhang Liang said suddenly.

"Mr. Zifang, what's going on?" Fan Kuai was extremely frustrated.
