Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 187 I don’t know what is the most precious thing
The wheels rumbled and the autumn wind was cool. No one ever appreciated the beautiful scenery along the road. Even if people were looking at it, their minds were thinking about something. Miaoxin was like this, and so was Wuzhan. Jin Xingzi drove his car and walked on the road that Ying Zheng had just walked on.

It turns out that Xu Shi had the thousand-year-old snow ginseng, and he generously gave it to Wuzhan. In this incident, he was undoubtedly the biggest winner, gaining the trust of Ying Zheng and the respect of all the ministers. He got rid of two good generals and loyal ministers, Yang Ruihe, the Guardian, and Yao Jia, the Court Judge. As for Wang Ben, Feng Jie, Zhang Han and others, Ying Zheng didn't want to pursue them, and no one would pursue them. He regained the five-colored stone. Most of the disciples of Xiandao Academy were lost, and Xu Shi had to cooperate with him to fulfill his master's dying wish. He also got the thousand-year-old snow ginseng, which could cure Princess Yu's illness.

But Wuzhan was not excited at all, because if the evil formation was broken, this matter would spread throughout the entire Qin State, and everyone would know about it. No one would listen to his explanation, let alone understand it. Brother Zhang and the others would look down on him. In fact, he didn't care what others thought of him, as long as they didn't kill him, it had nothing to do with him. But Brother Zhang had saved his life, and saying that he didn't care would be just deceiving himself. Princess Yu would be silently disappointed when she knew it. She had already lost Luoyan, and like himself, she was lonely and helpless. Wuzhan didn't want to disappoint her, but he really missed the opportunity.

If he can't get her understanding, what's the point of him going through so much trouble to do all this.

Fusu has sent Princess Jade back to Qingya Pavilion. She is very weak. He has sent a hundred people to Buxian Mountain to look for the thousand-year-old snow ginseng. If it were not for his father's safety, Fusu would have stayed with Princess Jade. This is what he told Wuzhan. He also asked Wuzhan to continue to think of a solution, and then he hurried to accompany Princess Jade.

After returning home, Wuzhan started to boil the medicine. He did not close his eyes for the whole day. Miaoxin wanted to help but was refused because he was afraid that the medicine would be ruined if the heat was not high enough.

When the medicine was ready, Wuzhan carefully took out only a spoonful of the crystal liquid, put it into a porcelain bottle, and hurried to Qingya Pavilion.

Qingya Pavilion was heavily guarded. Fusu had been taking care of Gongsun Yu the whole time. Seeing Wuzhan rushing over with a black face, he hurried forward and said, "You are finally here. Miss Yu is dying and has been coughing up blood. She wants to see you!"

Wuzhan handed the porcelain bottle to Fusu and said, "Please, Prince Chang, give the medicine in the bottle to Miss Yu first."

Fusu took it and asked, "Did you find the Fairy Tears and the Ten Thousand Years Snow Ginseng?" Seeing Wuzhan nod, he said excitedly, "Great, now she's saved!" He hesitated again and said, "Since you found all of these, I lose. Let's feed her myself, Brother Zhan!"

"When the eldest prince made a bet with me, I lost. This humble servant did this for the eldest prince. I hope you won't tell Miss Yu."

"Where did my brother lose?"

"The eldest prince is the one who likes her the most and will definitely treat her well, but I am not that kind of person. Go quickly, and I will see her after she takes the medicine!" In fact, Wuzhan was afraid that Princess Yu would know that it was he who made the medicine and might refuse to take it, and that was indeed the case.

After Gongsun Yu took the medicine, Wuzhan walked into the room. Gongsun Yu looked haggard. She sat on the head of the bed, staring at Wuzhan and said weakly, "I hope the eldest prince will step aside. I want to say a few words to you, sir." Fusu was happy and left the room.

Wuzhan sat on the chair beside the bed where Fusu had taken care of Princess Yu. After a long pause, he whispered, "I guess the princess knows everything?"

Gongsun Yu was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said, "I see. My Lord has become a meritorious official of the Qin Dynasty and will be remembered for generations to come."

"Princess, do you think so? I am a person who is afraid of death."

Gongsun Yu stared into Wuzhan's eyes, as if he wanted to see into his bones, "It's human nature to be afraid of death. My Lord said that if you want to live, what's the point of revenge if you lose your life."

"Princess, do you want an explanation?"

Gongsun Yu shed a tear, and this tear was different from the bitterness of the past. "Your explanation is always exciting and believable, but I don't want to listen to it. What's the point of listening to it for a person who is about to die? People will change, and I will change too."

Wuzhan had no words to express his suffering, his heart was broken, he deeply felt the taste of loneliness, his whole body began to tremble, "I haven't changed."

"Yes, in the Chun Man Lou with a sky full of stars and rain, my lord is like this. I have always been the one forcing it. My lord does not need to explain."

"This... is this what you really mean?"

"How can a dying person tell lies?"

Wuzhan's heart became much calmer instead, "Fusu will not let the princess die!"

"He is actually a really good person, brave, sincere, gentle and warm. If we were not enemies, I would definitely like him."

Wuzhan said: "You already like him."

"Have you ever liked me?"

Wuzhan pondered for a long time and sighed, "It's unnecessary to ask this question to someone who is about to die."

"But I want to know."

"I just hope you can live happily!"

"I see!"

"What do you know?"

"You have never liked me. In fact, it is unnecessary for me to ask this question."

“Why is it redundant?”

"Because I can see you, asking this question is redundant!"

Wuzhan's heart was pierced again. The meaning of this sentence was, "If you like me, you will give your life for me." Wuzhan had nothing to say, just like when facing Qin Moyao. In fact, if there was no master's last wish, no senior Xingtian's entrustment, no Miaoxin and others present, he would give his life. He really didn't understand what true love was. Maybe he didn't know how to express it, or he didn't have the qualifications.

Gongsun Yu lay down, no longer looking at Wuzhe, looking at the ceiling, and said leisurely: "In fact, these days, I have understood a lot of things. My hatred is my hatred. How can others bear it? I only asked you to do me a favor. If you like me a little bit, try to dedicate me to Ying Zheng. I know you will find a way. I don't have time. If there is an afterlife, I will repay you by working like a cow or a horse."

Wuzhe was silent for a long time, and then whispered: "You don't understand Ying Zheng. Although there are many maids in the harem, he doesn't like women. Princess, you should give up this idea."

"Don't lie to me. Everyone in the world knows that he has collected all the beauties in the world. There are at least three thousand maids living in the Afang Palace."

"Ying Zheng did all this just to prove that all the beauties in the world belong to him. He seldom goes there. He practices Taoism and pursues immortality. Now only immortality can make him tempted. Moreover, he is the soul of the ancestor dragon and has magic weapons such as dragon scales and gems to protect his body. Princess can't kill him."

"How can you know if you haven't tried? It seems that the adults don't want to help me this last time."

Wuzhan said: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't. I know the princess doesn't trust me now, but I will continue with the original plan. Even if I'm gone, the Qin Dynasty will fall, and the princess won't die. There's no need to rush. If you don't want to stay in Xianyang, I will send someone to escort the princess back to Kuaiji."

"I won't go back. I've made up my mind. I've promised Fusu to enter the East Palace."

Wuzhan froze for a while, and whispered: "Princess, is it worth it for you to do this?" After a moment of silence, Gongsun Yu slowly said: "This is what I came to you to tell you. Thank you for saving General Xiang for me. You can leave now."

What else could Wuzhan say? All the grievances were just grievances, no one would listen, not even those who shared the same fate. He didn't want to hurt them, but in the end he hurt himself. However, as long as they were well, he could still bear the little hurt he suffered, and this time was no exception.

He slowly stood up, bowed and stepped back, then quietly walked out of the house. His heart was empty, and nothing could be changed. Gongsun Yu did not look at Wuzhan's thin back, but just blurred his eyes. In this world, no one knows what is the most important thing.

……

The night is always cold. This road is always a journey of anticipation when coming here and disappointment when leaving. This is the last time, and the carriage stops at the entrance of the alley.

"Young Master, there are people blocking the way ahead!" Jin Xingzi said as he looked at the six people blocking the way ahead.

"I want to get off!" After saying that, Wuzhan got off the carriage. He knew that those people who blocked the road would come sooner or later.

Wuzhan didn't want to die yet, so he stopped about ten feet away from the six people. Miaoxin also got off the horse. Although she knew that these people were the brothers Wuzhan mentioned, she could sense the murderous aura emanating from these six people, so she would not take it lightly again.

Yi Shuihan's red hair flew up as he said coldly, "At this point, what else do you have to say?"

Wuzhan bowed and said, "I beg you elder brothers to spare my life."

"I really don't understand. With your health condition, is it so important to live one more day?" Guo Zijing snorted coldly, bent his bow and drew his arrow, aiming at Wuzhan's chest.

Wuzhan said: "It is very important to me."

Yi Shuihan asked, "If your father knew about this, what would he think of you being so afraid of death?"

"He won't know, because when a person dies, everything is gone and nothing can be done."

Guo Zijing shouted angrily: "I will not let you live even a single day!" Before he finished speaking, 'whoosh...', the arrow in his hand shot into Wuzhan's chest.

Miaoxin was prepared. With a wave of her hand, a beam of blue light cut down the arrow.

Jin Xingzi jumped to Wuzhan and cursed, "How dare you assassinate our young master? I think you are tired of living!" With a "puff", he spurted out a flaming sword and hit Guo Zijing.

Yin Lingchong drew out his sword with a bang, which shone with a white light as white as snow. He stopped the fire sword and looked at Jin Xingzi coldly. He did not expect to see another kind of divine fire.

"Don't be rude!" Wuzhan stopped Jin Xingzi and turned to Zhang Liang and said, "Brother Zhang, can we talk further?" He knew that at this time, perhaps only Zhang Liang would listen to him.

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Is it not possible to just say it here?" Seeing Wuzhan looking around and shaking his head slightly, he knew someone was eavesdropping around, "Where are you going?"

Wuzhan said: "Talk in the car!"

Guo Zijing said: "Don't be fooled by him, let him fart here!"

Jin Xingzi chuckled and said, "You like to smell farts, come here, I'll let you smell as much as you want!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Zijing became furious and put three more arrows on his bow, wanting to shoot Jin Xingzi. However, Zhang Liang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, just listen to what he says." As he said this, he no longer worried that Wuzhan would harm him and followed Wuzhan into the car.

Wuzhan whispered, "Someone is watching me, so it's inconvenient to talk. I beg Brother Zhang to believe that I do have an important mission and cannot die in Mount Li."

Zhang Liang said, "I believe that Brother Li is definitely not a person who covets wealth and fame, and he may not be afraid of death. It's just that the things you have done will definitely make them doubt your nature."

Wuzhan said sincerely: "I know all of this. I have indeed missed a great opportunity. I can only beg Brother Zhang to forgive me!"

"Faced with such a choice, it is human nature to choose to live. There is no question of forgiveness or not. They are just angry for the moment, and it will be fine after this period. But you have to remember that if you are willing to become Ying Zheng's lackey, it may be difficult for us to assassinate Ying Zheng, but it is very easy to assassinate a minister."

Wuzhan said: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for not killing me. I will keep your words in mind."

"Fortunately, you didn't tell anyone about us. That's why we spared your life today."

"Brother Zhang, I have something to ask you. If the assassination of Ying Zheng succeeds, what will you do next?"

"Once Ying Zheng dies, the world will be in chaos. Will you command heroes from all over the country to rebel against Qin and restore Korea?"

Wuzhan smiled bitterly and said, "Can you command the heroes and restore the monarchy with just the word 'chaos'? What can you use to command the heroes? Where are the heroes? Can you resist the Qin army led by Ren Xiong, Weng Zhong, Zhao Tuo, Zhang Han, Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Feng Jie, Wang Ben and others?"

Zhang Liang had to admit that each of these people was a brave and skilled general with a brilliant record of battle. Facing the Qin soldiers led by these people, even if the remaining forces of various countries were gathered together, it would be impossible to defeat them. "Even if the restoration fails, at least a tyrant has been killed!"

"Kill one tyrant and another will be appointed. The Qin State will not be in chaos. Those meritorious officials and generals will not let it be in chaos."

"Are you trying to persuade me to live a miserable life?"

"That's not what I meant. Those who love war will perish, and those who forget war will be in danger. The Qin State cannot be in chaos now, but it will be in chaos in the future. When the chaos comes, what can command the heroes is not loyalty, but manpower and money. If Brother Zhang wants to succeed, this is the only way."

Zhang Liang pondered for a long time. He was not a reckless man and understood what Wuzhan said. "When will the chaos come?"

"In less than ten years, it has already begun." Wuzhan took out a book from his arms, handed it to Zhang Liang and said, "There are thirty-two military formations on it. Maybe it will be helpful to you in the future, big brother!" This book was written by Wuzhan based on "Jiezhen Collection" and his own understanding, and he gave it to Zhang Liang to repay him for saving his life.

Zhang Liang knew that Wuzhan was the descendant of a famous general, and he must have a high level of attainment in marching, fighting, and deploying troops. Otherwise, how could he have led a surprise attack on the Xiongnu in the north? Wuzhan's gift of this formation showed his loyalty. He took it with both hands and said solemnly, "Thank you, brother Li, for the gift. I will study it carefully!"

Wuzhan said: "Brother Zhang, don't be fooled by false appearances. A traitor may appear loyal, and a fake may appear true. The higher I rise, the more you should be assured, Brother Zhang. Even if I am not that person, I will train a group of people like that. I hope Brother Zhang will not reveal my background to avoid unnecessary trouble for me."

Zhang Liang said: "Even if you are a hawk, I will not do anything to humiliate General Li. I will take them away from Xianyang and will never cause trouble again."
