The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 152: HAN State Affairs Stumbling Block

As Ying Zheng rose to power, even Bei Mingzi was left out. He asked Zhang Liang directly, "Zi Fang, if my Great Qin wants to unify the whole world, where do you think we should start and which country should we attack first?"

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment. He had just planned to have a casual chat, but he didn't expect that Ying Zheng valued his opinion so much and actually bypassed the topic of elixirs. This made Zhang Liang both surprised and distressed. Combining his knowledge of past and present lives, Zhang Liang knew very well which country the Qin should destroy first - that was the Han Kingdom that stood in the way of the Qin's eastward advance. However, Zhang Liang was born in the Han Kingdom after all. Although he did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Han Kingdom, in this situation, it was difficult for him to say clearly that he would destroy the Han Kingdom.

It doesn't matter what other people think of him, but Zhang Liang is worried about Zhang Kaidi. Zhang Kaidi has deep feelings for Han, especially after he resigned from office and retired, he no longer cares about worldly affairs, but his feelings for Han have become stronger. Whenever he hears Zhang Liang talking about the situation in the world, he is always particularly concerned about the fate of Han. If Zhang Kaidi knew that Zhang Liang proposed to destroy Han first in front of the King of Qin, I'm afraid it would leave a knot in Zhang Kaidi's heart.

So Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said implicitly: "My ancestor has resigned from office and retired. Now the Zhang family is no longer involved in the affairs of the court. Zifang dare not express his opinions at will."

Ying Zheng laughed out loud, understanding what Zhang Liang meant. He stopped making things difficult for Zhang Liang and immediately ordered: "Fusu, take Zifang to visit the palace first. If Zifang has any needs, he can be satisfied directly without reporting them!"

"Yes, sir!" Fusu answered respectfully and immediately led Zhang Liang out of the hall.

Zhang Liang understood that Ying Zheng was going to discuss important matters with Bei Mingzi. He had just chatted with him for so long that he had indeed neglected Bei Mingzi. Zhang Liang followed Fusu down the hall and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was curious about Ying Zheng before, but after this meeting, he felt a lot of pressure. He felt that he had to be cautious and fight with Ying Zheng every moment, which was very unpleasant. If it was not necessary, Zhang Liang really didn't want to face Ying Zheng again.

Just after walking out of the hall and before he had time to communicate with Fusu, Zhang Liang unexpectedly saw a person.

"Gane?"

Not far from the entrance of the hall, there was a young man in white with a stern expression, a long sword on his back and solemn eyes. Zhang Liang recognized this man as Gai Nie at a glance.

"Brother Zifang has a very good eye. That person is Gai Nie from Guiguzi's school. Let's go." Fusu said softly, as if he didn't want to have too much contact with Gai Nie.

Zhang Liang noticed that Gai Nie seemed to be in charge of guarding the palace. It was inconvenient for him to approach him and talk to him, so he left with Fusu.

After walking a little further, Zhang Liang asked Fusu curiously, "Sir, you seemed to be avoiding Gai Nie just now. Why is that?"

"I really can't hide it from Brother Zifang. Indeed, I don't want to have too much contact with Gai Nie." Fusu smiled helplessly.

"Why is it so?" Zhang Liang became more and more surprised.

"Although my father treats him as a personal bodyguard, he actually doesn't like him very much, let alone use him. As the eldest prince of Qin, I naturally don't want to have any extra contact with him." Fusu told him frankly.

Zhang Liang was stunned, and his heart was full of doubts. Since Ying Zheng used Gai Nie as a personal guard, why did Fusu say that Ying Zheng did not value Gai Nie?

"Brother Zifang also knows that Gai Nie is Guigu's disciple." Fusu said meaningfully.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile, feeling that he was misled by the so-called original plot. Although Gai Nie was a guard in the Qin State, even the closest guard, his status was still not as high as that of a general, not to mention a young general like Meng Tian who was highly valued by Ying Zheng. In other words, although it seemed that Gai Nie was valued by Ying Zheng, he was actually put aside.

The disciples of Guiguzi are excellent in martial arts and also have outstanding political talents. With Gai Nie's talent and martial arts, he is fully qualified to be a general. If Ying Zheng really values ​​Gai Nie, how could he let him be just a small guard? In addition, with Ying Zheng's martial arts skills, why would he need a master like Gai Nie as a guard? Zhang Liang could see that Ying Zheng's strength was obviously much higher than Gai Nie.

"No wonder Gai Nie chose to leave Qin later. He was not given the position he deserved in Qin. No matter how many talents and ambitions he had, it was difficult for him to display them. He was like a bird in a cage. How could he not find another way out?" Zhang Liang thought to himself.

"Perhaps Ying Zheng is testing Gai Nie's character. Only when he truly surrenders will he really use him." Zhang Liang pondered for a while, and then felt that there was no need to delve into Gai Nie's affairs. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him. At this moment, he thought of his good friend Jing Ke, who could barely be considered his friend.

"There has been no news of Jing Ke for a long time. I wonder where he is now." Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

With his thoughts racing, Zhang Liang did not pay attention to where Fusu had taken him until he noticed a group of children not far in front of him.

"Where is this place?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask.

"This is where we brothers usually study. Every few days a teacher will come here to give lectures. Tomorrow, Senior Bei Mingzi will also come here to explain Taoist principles." Fusu explained with a smile.
