Chapter 134 Pei Gong and Lü Zhi Enter Xianyang

After Meng Yi and Meng Tian returned to Xianyang with the Xiang clan, and Zhang Liang arrived in Xianyang, more people arrived. This time it was Liu Ji and others from Pei County, as well as Lu Zhi's family.

What a coincidence that Liu Ji and his entourage arrived in Xianyang at the same time as Lu Zhi's family and met each other by chance.

In the carriage, Lu Xi opened the window and looked out excitedly: "Sister, this is Xianyang? It's so big, much bigger than the cities we passed on the way!"

After hearing what Lu Shi said, Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel curious, so she stuck her head to the car window and looked outside.

This might be where she would live for a long time in the future, and she wanted to see what it looked like.

I saw a city standing not far ahead. The city walls were tall and there were Qin soldiers in armor patrolling and guarding the city. The city gates were open and many people were entering or leaving the city.

Suddenly, Lu Zhi felt as if someone was looking at her, and she couldn't help but look in the direction she felt. Her feeling was right, someone was indeed looking at her.

That was a man on a horse!

The man was not ugly, with a high nose bridge, three-dimensional brow bones, and well-trimmed beard and sideburns. He was just a little old. Lu Zhi could tell at a glance that the man was at least thirty years old.

The middle-aged man was looking straight at her. That look made Lu Zhi frown. She retracted her head into the car and closed the window. Lu Shi, who still wanted to look outside, was puzzled: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Lü Zhi said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that there are too many people and too many eyes. We have been invited to Xianyang, so it's better not to open the window for people to see."

Lu Xi rolled her eyes and whispered, "Sister, you don't want other people to see it, but to let that person know, right?"

Lu Zhi glared at her sister and scolded her in a low voice: "You can still make trouble on the road, but we are already in Xianyang. You must be cautious in everything you do and be careful at every step. Don't talk nonsense again, otherwise you will be in great trouble. You don't want to be tattooed on your face, have your nose cut off, and have your eyes dug out, do you?"

Frightened by Lu Zhi's words, Lu Shi shuddered and quickly covered her mouth, not daring to speak anymore.

How painful and miserable it must be to have your nose cut off and your eyes gouged out.

She doesn't want that!

On the other side, Liu Ji was riding on a horse. When he saw the window of the carriage closed and the woman disappeared into the carriage, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Why did the window of such a beautiful woman be closed? He wanted to take a few more glances at her.

Just now, when he saw the woman for the first time, an idea came to his mind: This woman should be my wife!

The loss in Liu Ji's heart came and went quickly. His eyes were firm and fiery. He was invited by the King of Qin to go to Xianyang, and was praised by the King of Qin as a "great talent" and "a wise man left in the world", and he was sure to rise to prominence.

Although the carriage in which the girl was riding was guarded by Qin soldiers, and it was obvious at a glance that the man was either rich or noble, it was not necessarily impossible to marry her, as long as the girl was not married yet.

He rode his horse to Jiao Li and asked, "I have something I want to ask you, Brother Li!"

During this journey, Liu Ji had become completely familiar with Jiao Li and the others, and they called each other brothers.

Jiao Li said: "Brother Ji, please speak!"

Liu Ji looked around, pointed at the carriage where the woman was, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, do you know the origin of this caravan?"

Jiao Li looked over there and immediately recognized that this was also a team that was sent by the king to invite people from other places. He smiled and said, "Brother Ji, if you ask about other things, I may not know, but I know this team. They must be invited by the king just like Brother Ji."

Jiao Li saw that after he finished answering, his brother Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and thanked him: "So that's how it is, thank you brother Li for clearing up Ji's confusion!"

Liu Ji had a smile on his face but felt regretful in his heart. No matter what the woman's original identity was, she was now invited by the King of Qin, so he could not marry her.

If the King of Qin invited someone from the girl's family to Xianyang and brought the girl to Xianyang as well, then he would still have a chance. But what if the person the King of Qin invited was the girl?
The King of Qin, the ruler of the world, invited a young woman, most likely to marry her into the Qin royal family. 'It's a pity that such a beautiful woman cannot be married to Ji! '

Liu Ji sighed, but then he put the thought deep in his heart. It's just a beautiful woman. There are many beautiful women in the world. When he becomes successful, he will have no problem finding a wife.
At Zhangtai Palace, after receiving the news that Liu Ji, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others from Pei County would go to Xianyang today, Ying Zheng specially took time out to summon these people.

He was more interested in Liu Ji than Zhang Liang, Han Xin and Xiao He.

After all, no matter how outstanding Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin were, they were just ministers, while Liu Ji was a king, and the founding king of the Han Dynasty.

In the eyes of Li Nian and other later generations, the image and reputation of the Han Dynasty were higher than those of his Great Qin Dynasty. People in later generations were called "Han people" also because of this Han Dynasty.

Ying Zheng did not summon Liu Ji alone, but met him together with other people from Pei County.

As soon as Liu Ji, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others entered the palace, they bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Commoner Liu Ji greets the king!"

"Everyone, please take a seat!"

After everyone in Pei County sat down, Ying Zheng looked at Liu Ji and asked, "Are you Liu Ji?"

Liu Ji immediately stood up and said respectfully, "I am Liu Ji!"

Ying Zheng said, "Don't panic, sit down and talk. I heard that you admire Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, so you went to Waihuang many times to socialize with Xinling Jun's former retainer Zhang Er and get along with him as a guest. Is this true or false?"

How come the King of Qin knew about this? Was it the possible fellow villager who told him?
Seeing Liu Ji was about to stand up and answer again, Ying Zheng said, "I am asking you not to punish you for this matter, but just asking."

Only then did Liu Ji breathe a sigh of relief.

He is usually free and easy, open-minded and not fussy about details, and likes to brag and chat with people, but that depends on the person. Now he is facing the most supreme King Qin in the world, who may destroy his body with just one word. How can he not be cautious?

But the King of Qin really seemed to have no intention of punishing these people. This trip to Xianyang might really be a blessing rather than a curse.

Liu Ji told the truth: "Your Majesty, I did have some friendship with Zhang Er in Waihuang, but after the fall of Wei, Zhang Er was wanted by Qin, so I returned to Pei County."

Ying Zheng asked again: "I heard that you like to socialize and often chat with people. You must know a lot of interesting things. How about telling me a few of them?"

"The king is willing to listen, which is a blessing for the common people!"

After saying this, Liu Ji told Ying Zheng some interesting things he knew.

During the narration, Liu Ji gradually relaxed a little and was no longer completely restrained because of his fear of Ying Zheng's identity.

Liu Ji's speech was vivid and his tone, expression and movements made the listeners immersed in it unconsciously. Even a boring thing could become very interesting in his mouth.

The most important thing is that he has a special charm. What he says can make people listen and be convinced.

Ying Zheng secretly thought that this person was truly extraordinary, but unfortunately he was still concerned about his identity and did not dare to really let go.

But Ying Zheng changed his mind and thought that if this person could be completely relaxed in front of him, then he should consider killing him.

Now this is good...
