Qi.
After the announcement, Xiang Yu looked confused.
"Zhuge Liang, Cao Can, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng, who are these people? Why haven't I heard of them?”
After Xiang Liang withdrew his gaze, he said,"These people should be hiding. Although they have intelligence, they didn't show it, so it's normal that we don't know.”
Xiangyu said," Now is the time for us to use people. We have to think of a way to recruit them. If they are willing to assist us, then we will definitely be able to destroy the Violent Qin."”
"You're right, so we have to act quickly."”
"If I'm not wrong, Ying Zheng has already begun to recruit them. We must not let them submit to Ying Zheng, or else it will be even more hopeless for us to restore our country.”
Xiangyu cupped his fists and said," Uncle, don't worry. I will find them and make them serve our Chu Country."”
Several days later.
Qi.
In a certain valley.
"How was it? Did you find her?"
Seeing Tian Heng return, Tian Dan hurriedly asked.
Tian Heng shook his head and said," No. It seems like Ying Zheng is also sending people to look for them. But, these people seem to have hidden themselves on purpose. Neither we nor the people from the other five nations can find them."”
"How could this be? There must be descendants of the six dynasties among these people. Since they have the intelligence, why didn't they overthrow the violent Qin and choose to hide?”
Tian Dan revealed a puzzled expression.
" Big Brother, you might not know this," Tian Heng said." Ying Zheng has already given the order that anyone who appears on the Wisdom Ranking List will be killed without mercy if they do not submit to the Imperial Court.”
"I think it's because of this that they don't dare to show themselves.”
Tian Dan frowned and said," I didn't expect Ying Zheng to be so ruthless. But the more he acts like this, the more these people dislike him."”
"Continue searching. I don't believe they've been hiding.”
"Yes."
Chu.
A white-haired old man walked along the street with a walking stick.
Soon, he arrived in front of a mansion.
The words "Xiang Residence" were written on the mansion.
After seeing the place, the old man walked towards the door.
"Stop, who are you?"
The old man raised his head and looked at the servant guarding the door."Go and tell Xiang Liang that Fan Zeng requests an audience.”
"Fan Zeng, are you Fan Zeng?"
When the servant heard this, he was shocked.
Ever since the Wisdom Ranking was announced, Xiang Liang had sent people everywhere to search for the people on the Wisdom Ranking.
As people of the Xiang Residence, they naturally knew who they were looking for.
"Is the old gentleman Fan Zeng? Quick, follow me into the residence. Our master said that if anyone on the Wisdom Ranking comes to seek refuge, he told me to bring him directly without reporting.”
As he spoke, the servant helped Fan Zeng into the mansion.
"What? Fan Zeng is here?”
When he learned that Fan Zeng had come to seek refuge, Xiang Liang hurriedly put down the book in his hand and led Xiang Yu to the hall.
When they arrived at the hall, they saw Fan Zeng already sitting there waiting.
"Sir, are you Mr. Fan Zeng?”
Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng with excitement.
Of course, his face was filled with respect.
The other party was ranked fifth on the Wisdom Ranking.
Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Liang." We are all from the State of Chu, so there's no need to be reserved."”
Xiang Liang smiled and said,"Alright, since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony."”
After sitting down on the chair, Xiang Liang asked,"May I know why Old Mister is looking for me?”
Although he had already guessed that Fan Zeng had come to seek refuge with him, Xiang Liang still wanted to confirm it again.
" You sent people everywhere to look for me," Fan Zeng said." Now you're asking me why I'm here."”
Xiang Liang's face instantly turned awkward as he smiled and said,""I just wanted to confirm it. Now that I have the answer, I can rest assured.”
" Although this old man is relying on you," Fan Zeng said," I don't know about the others. I don't even know many of them."”
"But no matter what, we can't let them join Ying Zheng's side, otherwise, it will be hopeless for us to restore our country.”
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to look for them everywhere.”
Fan Zeng said," Originally, I wanted to wait until Ying Zheng died before leaving the mountain. Who knows what kind of imperial ranking list would appear and grant Ying Zheng a hundred years of life?"”
"In this case, we can only rely on assassination if we want to overthrow Bao Qin.”
After he finished speaking, Fan Zeng revealed an angry expression.
Xiang Liang sighed and said," Ying Zheng is now in Xianyang. The city is heavily guarded. I'm afraid it's impossible to kill him."”
"When he was in the sand dune, it was actually the best time to assassinate him. Unfortunately, we missed it.”
" It's a good thing you didn't go," Fan Zeng said." Otherwise, you would have ended up like the Tian family."”
"A member of the Tian family? Could it be that the person who assassinated Ying Zheng last time was from the Tian family of Qi State?”
Xiang Liang knew that when Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang from the sand dunes, he was assassinated.
However, he did not know who did it.
" That's right," Fan Zeng said." If Ying Zheng's fifth son, Ying Yun, hadn't intervened, Ying Zheng would have been dead.”
Although he had been hiding his identity, he had been paying close attention to Ying Zheng's movements.
Therefore, he knew everything about the assassination attempt on Ying Zheng.
"Ying Yun, Elder Fan, are you right? I remember that Ying Yun was the prince that Ying Zheng looked down on the most.”
Xiangyu was confused.
Fan Zeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiang Yu.”
"That's true. I'm afraid even Ying Zheng doesn't know that Ying Yun has been hiding his strength.”
"But, it wasn't until this incident that I realized that Ying Yun was the most terrifying person in the entire Violent Qin Dynasty.”
Xiang Liang's expression was solemn as he said,"Ying Yun, he's ranked first on the wisdom ranking. At that time, I thought that there was a problem with the ranking, but now it seems that I underestimated him.”
When the wisdom ranking was announced, Xiang Liang did not take it to heart when he saw Ying Yun ranked first. He thought that there was a problem with the wisdom ranking.
After all, in his opinion, Ying Yun, as the Prince of Great Qin, would definitely be valued by Ying Zheng if he was really resourceful.
It was impossible for him to have done nothing for so many years.
But now, after learning that Ying Yun had saved Ying Zheng, Xiang Liang felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Fan Zeng said," This person is definitely not simple to be ranked first on the Intelligence Ranking. It's just that we haven't paid attention to him, so we don't know much about him.”
Xiang Liang muttered to himself,"Looks like we have to investigate properly. What other abilities does this Young Master Ying Yun have?"”
" Ying Yun will definitely investigate," Fan Zeng said." But Ying Zheng will also assassinate him."”
Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng.”
They also wanted to assassinate Ying Zheng, but they could not find a way.
Fan Zeng said," Although Ying Zheng has gained a hundred years of lifespan, he cannot live forever. And this old man happens to have the Art of Longevity. If we use this to lure Ying Zheng out, then our chances of killing him will be much higher.”
Xiang Liang was stunned." What Elder Fan said makes sense. As long as Elder Fan is willing to hand over the Art of Longevity?" he asked.”
Fan Zeng said," We are all people of Chu State. Everything we do is to overthrow the violent Qin State, so there's nothing we can't bear to part with."”
"As for the Art of Longevity, this old man will never give it to Ying Zheng. We are only using this as a catalyst to lure him out.”
Xiang Liang smiled and said," As expected of the existence ranked fifth on the Wisdom Ranking. You're indeed resourceful. In that case, we'll listen to your instructions."”
Fan Zeng said," Very well. You can spread the news about me in Chu State now, and then lure Ying Zheng here. When the time comes, we will make preparations in advance and try our best to kill him here."”
"Alright, I'll go prepare now."
