On the outskirts of Luoyang,
In a dilapidated straw hut.
"Strange, this time the plan to assassinate Qin should have been in the bag, why did something suddenly happen?”
"That tyrant Ying Zheng is like a god, sending a large number of cavalrymen to hunt me down in advance. If I hadn't held back, I would have become his prisoner!”
Dressed in ragged clothes, Zhang Liang, whose entire head was covered by a broken bamboo hat, thought for a long time, but he still could not figure out where he lost.
At this moment,
"Young Master, there's news!"
"So that tyrant didn't know about the assassination in advance, but went to Bolangsha to look for immortal salt!”
"We were just unlucky enough to bump into them!”
A grey-robed old man ran into the straw hut breathlessly, holding a pinch of refined salt tightly in his hand, and said with an unlucky expression.
"Immortal salt?"
"Such a material barely deserves this title!”
Zhang Liang repeatedly observed and tasted it personally before asking,"Where did you get this immortal salt?”
"Young Master, you might not know this, but now, this immortal salt is only ten wen in the entire Sanchuan Prefecture. You can buy it at will for one catty at a time. It's selling like crazy!”
"Those common people who complained about the tyrant in the past have now been bought over by this immortal salt, and they are still talking about Ying Zheng's benevolence!”
"This group of ignorant fools!" the old servant said angrily.”
"You already know that they are stupid, so there's no need to be as knowledgeable as them!”
"Since ancient times, village women are the easiest to fool. When we take back this land in the future, with a little trick, they will remember their identity as Koreans again!”
A hint of wisdom appeared in Zhang Liang's eyes.""Moreover, such cheap and good salt will definitely arouse the resistance of those salt sellers. Those are all people who don't care about their lives!”
"But Young Master, according to our spy in the government office, many big salt traders, including Zheng Chang from Yingchuan, have arrived in Xingyang. It is very likely that they are going to join the tyrant!”
The old servant said worriedly.
"Why did this tyrant suddenly change so much?”
"In the past, he didn't have such means to win people's hearts?”
Zhang Liang thought for a long time before speaking again,"Fortunately, those salt merchants have always been selfish. It's impossible for everyone to follow the tyrant. There will always be some who jump out and cause trouble!”
"Young Master is still brilliant!"
"That tyrant has done many unjust things. Even if there are some new changes, it's not enough to make up for his past sins.”
"As long as the tyrant dies, the world will definitely be filled with righteous flags. At that time, the young master will be able to regain his great cause!”
The old servant said respectfully.
In the past, the Zhang family had been the prime minister of Old Han for five generations, and they had managed things very well. Even though they had been wiped out by Great Qin several times, there were still many loyal elders like him who had stayed behind.
"The tyrant deserves to die!"
"But before he dies, our days won't be good!”
"Although we failed to assassinate Qin this time because of an anomaly, that tyrant will definitely be on high alert. There won't be any more opportunities in the short term.”
"If you want to raise the flag of righteousness, you have to be as powerful as the Si Shui Xiang Family!”
Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
The old servant quickly agreed and quickly began to arrange the vehicles and routes.
...
Xianyang City.
"Father-in-law, His Majesty's eastern convoy has stopped at Xingyang City!”
Zhao Gao's son-in-law, Yan Le, stepped into the Zhongche Mansion and reported respectfully.
"Why?"
"According to the original itinerary, His Majesty should have arrived at Xue County by now!”
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt,
As the official in charge of the First Emperor's trip, although he did not accompany him, he had to stay behind to help with the palace affairs. He knew the First Emperor's itinerary very well.
Now that the eastern convoy had suddenly turned around and stopped, something big must have happened.
"According to the report of the guard, before His Majesty arrived in Bolangsha, he met an alchemist named Su Han. Not only did he have the ability to predict, but he also predicted in advance that the traitor Zhang Liang would assassinate him in Bolangsha.
He had also offered the art of immortal salt, which was now being sold at an extremely low price in Xingyang and other places to win the hearts of the people of the three rivers for His Majesty!”
Yan Le hurriedly replied.
"Su Han, could it be another Xu Fu?”
Zhao Gao frowned even more.
During the first emperor's second eastern tour last year, he met an alchemist named Xu Sheng in Qi. Xu Sheng claimed that he could help the first emperor go to the overseas immortal mountains to obtain immortal pills, which caused a controversy in the court.
However, in the end, Xu Fu successfully set off with dozens of ships and more than a thousand people. Even Li Si and the others were helpless.
Now that Su Han had appeared, Zhao Gao felt a headache.
"Sir, should we find someone to take this Su Han…"
Yan Le's eyes flashed with ferocity.
"No, from the information we received, this Resurrection is highly valued by His Majesty. If we act now, it will only cause His Majesty to be furious!”
"Moreover, from the way he's doing business in the salt industry, he's probably just a greedy person who works with salt sellers. It won't be too late to make a move after he reveals his true colors!”
Zhao Gao said after thinking for a long time.
Having followed Ying Zheng for so many years, Zhao Gao naturally understood the First Emperor's obsession in seeking immortality, but he did not have the guts to make a move recklessly.
Moreover, as the First Emperor's close minister, there were countless officials and nobles who tried their best to curry favor with Zhao Gao. The gold and silver treasures in the mansion were piled up like mountains, and Su Han, the "salt seller", did not take a fancy to him.
"But that Su Sheng did predict the assassination of the traitor Zhang Liang?”
Yan Le muttered.
" What do you know? Those salt sellers are all local tyrants who lick blood on their blades. Who knows how many people they have in the local area? The so-called prophet was just lucky enough to discover them in advance!”
Zhao Gao glared at Yan Le and said: " Since you have such thoughts, why don't you go and supervise the eighteenth young master's studies? When His Majesty comes back, you can have a good time!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Yan Le agreed, but in his heart, he cursed:
With Huhai's character, he was a complete profligate prodigal. If it wasn't for Zhao Gao's repeated teachings, how would he be able to show his face?
"I only have one daughter. In the future, the glory of the Zhao family will fall on you!”
"Remember, the eighteenth young master is our future!”
"Go!"
Zhao Gao shook his head helplessly.
If it wasn't for the fact that there were no other candidates, why would he take a fancy to Huhai and Yan Le?
However, after hesitating for a moment, Zhao Gao called Yan Le in again and told the trusted aides of the eastern patrol team to keep an eye on this "alchemist" Su Han, who could change the First Emperor's mind.
