"Boss, we've failed. Let's retreat. The commotion here must have attracted the attention of the Qin Army guards. If we don't leave now, it will be too late." The other killers shouted.
"But Zhang Liang was hit by my sword..." The disguised Wei Zhuang roared in anger, "Damn Zhang Liang, why is he here?"
This angry roar was naturally intended for Zhang Liang to hear.
"Boss, there is nothing we can do. Let alone Zhang Liang, even if anyone shows up today, we have to take action. If we continue to hide, we will be discovered. Let's retreat..."
As a last resort, Wei Zhuang, who had disguised himself, led his men to retreat.
Zhang Liang took Gongsun Linglong straight back to Xiaoshengxian Manor. To him, Xiaoshengxian Manor was the only safe place at this time.
On the quiet path, Gongsun Linglong was very worried about Zhang Liang's injury and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhang San, are you okay..."
At this time, Gongsun Linglong's voice became even more charming.
And this kind of charm stimulated Zhang Liang even more.
Zhang Liang suddenly felt hot all over and restless, especially in his lower abdomen, which was hot and itchy.
Zhang Liang immediately realized that he was poisoned, and it was a love poison.
"Wound..." Zhang Liang trembled as he looked at his wound, and immediately mobilized his internal strength to suppress the poison.
At this time, Zhang Liang also recalled the words of Wei Zhuang in disguise...
I thought a lot at once.
"He was angry that I was hit by his sword. So this is the reason. He didn't want to kill Gongsun Linglong, but wanted Gongsun Linglong's body..."
"Could those assassins be from one of the other branches of the famous Gongsun family?"
"Those side branches, if they obtain Gongsun Linglong, will be qualified to become the new main branch of the Gongsun family, because the main branch of the famous Gongsun family now only has Gongsun Linglong as its main branch."
Peach blossom mist cannot be suppressed by ordinary internal force.
The more Zhang Liang suppressed it, the greater the effect of the peach blossom mist became. In the few seconds when he thought about the possible reasons behind this incident, he began to lose consciousness.
"Miss Gongsun, please leave quickly..." Zhang Liang could only say to Gongsun Linglong, "Quick, the farther away from me the better..."
"Mr. Zhang San, what are you talking about? You must have been poisoned by the sword wound. You were poisoned in order to save me. How could I abandon Mr. Zhang San and leave him alone?"
"Go away..." Zhang Liang became ferocious and roared like a wild beast.
This frightened Gongsun Linglong silly.
But the longer Gongsun Linglong stayed, the more irritable the gentle and refined Zhang Liang became. It was obvious that the poison he was infected with was not simple.
"Mr. Zhang San, I will never leave..."
Roar!
Before Gongsun Linglong could finish her words, Zhang Liang had completely lost his mind and pounced on Gongsun Linglong.
"Mr. Zhang San...Mr. Zhang San..."
Gongsun Linglong was extremely scared at this moment.
Although she loves Zhang Liang, this scene...
After all...here...
I don’t know how long it took before the intense sound disappeared, leaving only the sound of crying.
"Miss Gongsun, I am too ashamed to face myself, my fellow brothers and elders, Confucianism, and even more so you. I will commit suicide today to make amends." Standing in front of the crying Gongsun Linglong, Zhang Liang prepared to condense the sword and commit suicide.
Swish swish!
At this moment, several figures came here.
It was Ying Xiao, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie.
"Miss Gongsun, are you okay? You came here at the invitation of the king, so nothing can happen to you." Ying Xiao shouted.
Wei Zhuang said, "Oh, was it Zifang who saved Miss Gongsun?"
Gai Nie said, "Something seems to be wrong."
When the three men approached, they saw Gongsun Linglong, whose clothes were disheveled and crying, and they immediately covered their eyes and turned away.
"Zifang, you are such a person..." After turning around, Ying Xiao immediately questioned, with murderous intent surging in his body, "Miss Gongsun, you are a distinguished guest invited by the king. Zifang, you really don't give face to the king, and don't give face to the Great Qin..."
"Yes, I asked Miss Gongsun to come here because I really want to match you up, but Zifang, you can't do this!"
"Your Highness, I..." Zhang Liang immediately knelt down and wanted to explain, but he was speechless because he didn't want to hurt Gongsun Linglong in any way, even if he had to explain everything in words.
Finally, he could only ask for death. "Your Highness, all the blame lies with Zifang. Please don't blame the Confucian school. Zifang is willing to die to apologize to Miss Gongsun."
"Your Highness, I don't think Zifang would do such a frivolous thing." At this time, Gai Nie spoke.
Wei Zhuang also said, "Your Highness, please let Zifang explain what happened... I don't want to believe that Zifang would do such a beastly thing."
When Zhang Liang heard Wei Zhuang say the word "beast", he felt even more guilty. He kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I only want to die. I only hope that Your Highness will not blame the Confucians."
"Zifang, I know what kind of person you are. Although I am angry, I also cannot believe that you would do such a thing." Ying Xiao said.
"There may be a reason for this. I have some guesses. The air here is filled with the scent of aphrodisiac."
"Aphrodisiac, what's going on?" Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were both confused.
"We'll talk about the aphrodisiac later." Ying Xiao said heavily, "Zifang, no matter what, the facts are already like this, and I have no choice but to investigate. Your death cannot give Miss Gongsun an explanation, nor can it keep the Confucian School out of the matter."
"Of course, it is not up to me to decide what to do. It depends on what Miss Gongsun wants."
Chapter 100 Zifang returns the book!
However, Gongsun Linglong just cried.
At this time, Zhang Liang was really at a loss.
"Zifang, according to Confucianism, a gentleman should have the courage to take responsibility for his mistakes. Is this right or wrong?" Ying Xiao spoke again.
"Your Highness is right!" Zhang Liang nodded.
"That's good. I will then report to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to grant a marriage between you and Miss Gongsun. What do you think?" Ying Xiao said.
"Zifang, this is the best solution, and I believe it is also the best outcome for Miss Gongsun." Gai Nie said, "Miss Gongsun will be willing to accept this outcome."
At this time, Gongsun Linglong spoke up, "Your Highness, I am willing..."
Now that things have come to this, Gongsun Linglong will not let go of such an opportunity.
"Zifang..." Ying Xiao asked again.
"Zifang is willing..." What choice did Zhang Liang have? He could only agree.
"That's great. That's all for today." Ying Xiao said, "Soon, an imperial decree will be issued to grant marriage. Zifang and Gongsun, you should be ready."
"This king believes that your wedding will be a feast. How can a marriage between a Confucian family and a famous family not be a feast?"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zifang bowed in thanks.
"Thank you, Your Highness..." Gongsun Linglong also stood up to express her gratitude.
Tatata!
At this time, Meng Yi arrived with the Sanghai City guard team.
"Did you catch him?" Ying Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, no, they retreated very quickly." Meng Yi said, "I failed to do my job well, please forgive me."
"General Meng, since there are assassins and killers in Sanghai City, it is your fault after all. The authorities will make a fair judgment on your crime." Ying Xiao said.
"Yes, Your Highness..."
"Mr. Gai, take Miss Gongsun back to Haiyue Villa first." Ying Xiao then ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness." Gai Nie bowed and said.
"Zifang, would you like to go to Haiyue Cottage first and talk to Miss Gongsun?" Ying Xiao also looked at Zhang Liang and asked.
"That's right." Zhang Liang nodded.
"Meng Yi, expand the search range. Don't let an inch of land in the mountains and forests surrounding Sanghai City go unsearched. I want to see who dares to touch the people I invited." Ying Xiao also gave another order to Meng Yi.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
When only Ying Xiao and Wei Zhuang were left here, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
But Ying Xiao still sighed, "To be honest, such obscene and dirty behavior is not my style, but there is nothing I can do."
"The result is good after all, so there is no problem." Wei Zhuang said, "In this way, the three leaders of Confucianism, the three heroes of Qi and Lu who are famous all over the world, will all stand on the side of Daqin."
"Fu Nian attaches great importance to the relationship between the ruler and his subjects. He was originally 70% on the side of the Qin Dynasty. Now that Yan Lu and Zifang are here, he is 100% convinced." Ying Xiao said.
"Of course, the most important ones are Master Xun Kuang and the Three Benevolent Men and Five Sages of Confucianism."
“But with the support of the Three Heroes of Qi and Lu, Your Highness should be confident of victory,” Wei Zhuang said.
"Of course, especially with Zifang's support..." Ying Xiao nodded.
......
After coming out of Haiyue Cottage, Zhang Liang first bought the two medicines that Yan Lu wanted, and then began to carefully recall everything that had happened.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he only got one result - accident.
"It seems that I was indeed accidentally involved in the internal strife of the famous Gongsun family." Zhang Liang shook his head helplessly and said to himself, "And this unexpected involvement forced me to make the decision to stand on the side of the Qin Dynasty."
"Otherwise, not only will my life and death be at stake, but the entire Confucian school will be destroyed."
"However, the Great Qin Wu Wang Ying Xiao has gradually become the new pillar of the Great Qin after it unified the world. His ability is not inferior to that of the First Emperor. He is qualified to support the Great Qin through this turbulent period."
"And the new Prime Minister Xiao He, with his series of measures, has begun to fundamentally save the Qin Dynasty."
"There is also Prince Fusu. He is a benevolent person. Various signs show that both the First Emperor and King Wu are fully supporting him. It is obvious that he will become the new emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and he will be a good emperor."
"If that's the case, I don't seem to have any reason to look for a new way out for the people of this world. Moreover, a new way out will inevitably involve another round of bloodshed, and the new dynasty may not be the same as it is now."
"King Wu Yingxiao, then let Zifang see the world you are talking about."
Then, Zifang took out the wordless heavenly book from his sleeve.
"Fortunately, it hasn't been opened yet, otherwise there would be no place for me in this huge world."
"Senior Nangong, I'm sorry..."
On a hill that forms a horn with Xiaoshengxianzhuang, there is an ordinary wooden house. Zhang Liang came here.
Chu Nangong pushed the door open and walked out, his expression was already wrong, because he had guessed the purpose of Zhang Liang's coming here, and Zhang Liang could only have one purpose for coming here.
But he still smiled as usual, "Zifang, what a rare visitor."
"Senior Nangong, I am sorry for disturbing you, please forgive me." Zhang Liang bowed and said respectfully, "But I have to come, because I think I am not talented enough and not qualified to open this wordless book."
"I hope Senior Nan Gong can find the right mentor for this wordless heavenly book."
"Zifang is really modest. However, a gentleman does not force others to do things that are difficult for them. As the saying goes, do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you." Duke Chu Nan said with a smile, "Well, I will spend more time and effort to find a true mentor for this wordless heavenly book."
As he spoke, Lord Chu Nan took the wordless heavenly book from Zhang Liang.
A strong murderous intent had already emerged deep in Lord Chu Nan's heart.
But he didn't take action.
Because behind Zhang Liang is the entire Confucianism.
And he still needs Confucianism.
Furthermore, Zhang Liang, the white chess piece belonging to him, has not yet completely transformed into a black chess piece, because it is those few people who truly determine Confucianism.
"In this case, Zifang would like to thank Senior Nangong. I will not disturb you any further. Zifang takes his leave." After saying this respectfully again, Zhang Liang left.
“Your Highness, please show yourself.” After putting away the wordless heavenly book, Lord Chu Nan suppressed the anger and murderous intent in his heart and spoke slowly.
"Senior Nangong, it seems that you have failed again in this game." Ying Xiao's voice sounded, and he appeared in front of Chu Nangong, smiling slightly, "And this game of chess must have been a big blow to you."
"After all, no one can refuse the Wordless Book."
"Even you, Senior Nan Gong, can't refuse it."
"Your Highness is really smart. So far, I have never lost a game of chess consecutively, but I have truly felt the taste of defeat when it comes to Your Highness. Moreover, I even took out the Wordless Book of Heaven, which is my trump card, but I still lost." Lord Chu Nan sighed.
"Senior Nan Gong, the new generation pushes the old generation forward. This is a new era in the world, and it's time for new trends. Everything that happened before should indeed be buried under the sand." Ying Xiao said with a smile.
