Chapter 1004 There is no hero in the world (revision)

"If the world becomes peaceful, what would Zifang want to do?"

Zhang Liang remembered that many years ago, when he was hiding in Xiapi, his friend Xiang Juan asked this question.

Zhang Liang thought about this issue for a long time.

Once upon a time, he was just a dagger made of hatred, focusing all his energy on assassinating Qin Shihuang and avenging his family and country.

Until the assassination failed, he learned from the pain and began to change his mind. He refined his military skills and turned himself into an indestructible sword!

Then use the Tai Gong Yin Talisman to suddenly poison him, causing his throat to be sealed with blood.

Just waiting for a hero, a wise master to appear, hold him, and kill the violent Qin!

Zhang Liang planned to use the words of Taigong Jin Gui, who was as kind as water, to wash away the blood on the sword and turn it into a plowshare after he defeated the Qin Dynasty.

After the fields were cultivated, he completed his mission.

Next, perhaps, let the sword and plow slowly rust, and finally turn into a piece of yellow stone under the pines, leisurely and contented, bearing the morning dew, frost and snow, watching the white clouds and gray dogs...

So Zhang Liang smiled and told Xiang Juan.

"At that time, I am willing to abandon worldly affairs and swim through red pine trees!"

The time he lived in seclusion in Xiapi planted a Taoist dream in his heart. Laozi said: "Everything is done without hesitation, born without being born, done without relying on it, and accomplished without living." If everything goes as it did in history, Unchanged, Zhang Liang was able to put aside all grudges, all fame and fortune, transcend worldly desires, and reach a state of freedom and ease, connected with heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, when he opened his eyes, Zhang Liang found that he was still trapped in this body, sitting in the cell.

He was under house arrest. Chen Liu's cell was relatively clean and had windows. The light came from there and shone on Zhang Liang's pale and thin face.

The door outside opened and Heifu walked in and saw the untouched food plate.

Zhang Liang bowed to Hei Fu, and Hei Fu sat down across the wooden railing and said:

"I heard that Zhang Zifang went on a hunger strike?"

Zhang Liang responded calmly: "I'm fasting."

Hei Fu frowned and said: "Is this a Taoist method? I heard Xu Fu said that some immortals can breathe wind and drink dew, so they don't eat grains. You, a mortal, are breathing filthy air in this prison. No wonder you are sick all day long. Yes, in my opinion, you want to starve yourself to death and escape punishment!"

Zhang Liang raised his head and said, "Liang, you are indeed ready to die. You just want to leave in a clean manner."

"It's not easy."

Heifu said: "I came here today because I want to ask you again. If you offered me the strategy of condensing Han that day, if it was not for survival, then what was it for?"

Zhang Liang pondered and then said: "For the peace of the Korean land, the Korean people do not have to die because of me, and for the meeting of Laishui ladies to be held every year."

Heifu approached the wooden fence: "But what if you can't? Are you going to die in peace?"

"How do you know if I will be like the First Emperor of Qin? I promised to bring peace to the world, but in the end I couldn't control my desires, indulged in extravagance and acted recklessly? I, the dragon slayer, will eventually turn into an evil dragon ?”

Zhang Liang was not impressed: "I heard that the regent only has one wife. People who can do this cannot be said to be saints, but they must be able to restrain their own desires. From releasing the palace maids of Qin to reducing rent and taxes, they can figure it out."

"So I think Duke Xia is like a hero who wants to conquer the world. Qin Shihuang can still keep the gathering of ladies and ladies in Jishui for thirteen years, let alone Duke Xia?"

"Hero? Heroic? You really flatter me."

But Heifu looked up to the sky and smiled: "I have heard too many praises for these two words."

"It's not just me. The anti-kings and generals in Guandong either call themselves heroes or are called heroes. For example, Xiang Ji, Zhang Er, Peng Yue, and even you are called Fu Han. Are you a hero?"

There is no wine here, and Heifu doesn’t intend to cook it. He pointed at the roof of the cell and said loudly:

"But actually, when I look around, I don't see a single hero or hero in this world!"

"Only a bunch of sinners are left!"

Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Hei Fu would think highly of himself and talk about the heroes in the world being self-centered.

But he didn't expect that he even denied it himself.

Hei Fu held the railing and said coldly: "Do you think you have to be like Zhao Gao and bring trouble to the world for your own selfish gain to be considered guilty?"

"Or is it like Xiang Ji who massacred several towns in the name of revenge and killed innocent people indiscriminately?"

"I failed to stop the First Emperor of Qin in the court, and could only use the most violent means to gain power. It was I who sounded the clarion call for chaos in the world. For this, I am guilty."

Not only that, Heifu also ordered the killing of the Mengtian brothers - although in Heifu's view, they were also guilty of incompetence, and just like him, they were guilty of standing by and watching the situation. The stains in his hands accumulated little by little, and the high-sounding Qin Law he spoke of had been destroyed by him behind his back.

And Fusu in the distance, is he as innocent as jade? Being born into the royal family, failure is a major sin, and sins are associated with the three clans of cronies.

"The innocent people were uttered with utter fear, and the bodies of father and son were exposed in the middle of the field. The troubled times have come to this late, and all of us carnivores who are still alive are guilty!"

Hei Fu pointed at Zhang Liang and said: "And you, Zhang Liang, your crime is not small. You jumped up and down in this troubled world, disrupted the world, and dragged millions of people in Yingchuan into the war. Now you are just dead. Leave this troublesome matter to me and that’s the end of it?”

These "crimes" are no longer covered by the Qin Law.

The chaos in the world cannot be solved by killing whoever breaks the law.

"We all have to be responsible for the situation in the world and we all have to atone for our sins!"

"Why do you think I am determined to unify the world again? Just because I want to give this stability back to them! Give it back to the people of the world!"

Heifu said: "The same goes for you, death is too light, Han Di, you have to save it yourself! It will take ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime to save him! In this troubled world, everything is waiting for you, and you will need all your ingenuity. Gentlemen contribute!"

These words came from the heart and were indeed touching.

Zhang Liang was silent for a long time, then raised his head:

"Didn't the regent say that Zhang Liang must die?"

"I have said it before, but I cherish my talent and feel that the sword used to assassinate people can be reforged into a plow for cultivating the land."

"Forging swords into plowshares?" Zhang Liang sighed, this was also his dream.

Heifu threw the "Tai Gong's Golden Chamber" back to Zhang Liang.

"Do you understand?"

Zhang Liang laughed dumbly: "I understand."

But he immediately became solemn: "But Zhang Liang once swore on the corpse of his dead brother that he would never be sworn in with Qin in this life! He would never do anything for Qin."

Hei Fu sighed: "The First Emperor is dead, and my wife Ye Teng is also dead. Qin is still Qin, and Qin is no longer Qin. The old Qin has been destroyed for me. The new Qin is called Qin, but it is actually Xia. You are doing it for me." Do things for the people of Yingchuan, not for Qin."

Zhang Liang nodded: "I understand."

After saying this, Zhang Liang no longer hesitated and bowed to Captain Hei: "Ming Gong!"

"Do you still want to eat grain?" Hei Fu smiled, but he heard Zhang Liang's stomach growling.

"No more..."

Zhang Liang took the cold food and stuffed it into his mouth without restraint.

"If there is peace in Yingchuan, I will be free. But I have to fight for every inch! There is no time for these things."

After he finished eating, he wiped his mouth and demanded:

"I want two things and someone."

Heifu asked: "What? Who?"

Zhang Liang said: "Paint."

"carbon."

"And a healer."

Heifu asked curiously: "Do you need these things to disguise yourself?"

"No, not in disguise."

Zhang Liang held his hand towards Hei Fu, and the light came in from the window and shone on his face. Although he was in a sickly state, he looked even more morbidly handsome.

"I want to destroy this face!"

"Destroy this person completely!"

…

In early July, when Li Shiqi returned to Chenliu, he heard the news that Zhang Liang, the fake king of Han, was dead.

"I heard that he died in prison on a hunger strike, and that he was beheaded by Duke Xia and buried with the rites of a scholar."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Li Shiqi was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Zhang Liang is such a good horse bone. If the remaining remnants of the Six Kingdoms see that the assassins of Qin Shihuang have been pardoned, they will definitely surrender one after another. The regent can take over the world without fighting. What can I do?" Kill him by starvation?"

He added: "Zhang Liang was the one who slaughtered the auxiliary talents. He suddenly killed them as dead ghosts and killed the useful talents. This is not like what the Xia Guild, who loves talents, would do. Could it be that there is a narrow-minded villain standing in the way?"

It wasn't until a new counselor who joined the Feather Wing Battalion was ordered to explain Korean affairs to him in a secret room that Li Shiqi was dumbfounded.

This person was wearing a mask. Although there was no trace of that person in his behavior, Li Shiqi looked at his stature and those pale knuckles, and felt that he looked very much like him!

But when the man opened his mouth, Li Shiqi felt that he was being suspicious again. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he had sand in his mouth. It was definitely not Zhang Liang's weak yet persevering voice.

Li Shiqi was silent for a long time, and then when the man turned around to pick up the official document, he suddenly shouted: "Zhang Zifang!"

This person was unmoved, turned around slowly and said:

"Who is Mr. Li calling?"

"I order you to take off your mask!" Li Shiqi changed into a commanding tone.

And when he took off his mask, Li Shiqi knew that his judgment was correct.

"It's really you."

But I saw that this man's face was rotten like leprosy. He obviously learned from Yu Rang, painted his face with lacquer, and swallowed charcoal fire to make his voice hoarse. His beard has also been shaved off, but the outline of his face is much more... Li Shiqi, whom he had interviewed for the first time, could still recognize him.

But others may have difficulty identifying this person, because his handsome appearance has turned into an ugly mess.

"Why is this so?" Li Shiqi felt pity for him, but the man shook his head and laughed in an unpleasant voice.

"This is the price."

What's the cost? It was like he was back to the question a few months ago, and now he knew it.

A handsome face and a sonorous and powerful voice.

After finishing the world, I dreamed of traveling from the red pine tree.

And the name that has been with him for more than forty years.

This is the price he paid for the "sins" he committed when he was young!

"I am from Xiapi."

The new member of Wing Camp bowed to Li Shiqi and introduced himself:

"His name is Huang, a famous stone!"
