Lu Zhi's red lips opened slightly, and his charming face was filled with surprise.
"Sir, what do you mean? I don't dare."
She hurriedly took a step back.
Zhao Gao's name resounded throughout the Great Qin Empire.
He killed people like flies, was ruthless, and did evil things.
In any case, those who offended him or those who were related to him basically died in the end.
He was also a favorite of the First Emperor.
Under one person, above ten thousand people.
Such a big shot actually revealed a terrified expression when he heard his name.
This made Lu Zhi's heart somewhat uneasy, not knowing what he was planning.
Not only Lu Zhi?
Great-Grandfather Lu, Little Sister Lu, and the surrounding villagers were all dumbfounded.
A second ago, Zhao Gao was still on a killing spree. His aura was vicious and ruthless, treating all living beings as ants.
In the next second, he actually cowered in front of a weak woman, not even daring to raise his head.
This contrast was too surprising and shocking.
"The nineteenth prince has instructed that if we meet Young Lady Lu Zhi, we must ensure her safety. Otherwise, I will die.”
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.
He really didn't want to follow Ying Changan's orders.
However, the imperial edict of the First Emperor was like a huge mountain pressing down on his heart.
Ying Zheng let win Chang 'an deal with Liu Bang's matter.
Ying Chang 'an's first order was for Zhao Gao to kill Liu Bang and the people around him.
Other than that.
Ying Chang 'an had a second order, which was to protect Lu Zhi's family.
Otherwise…
Zhao Gao's head fell to the ground!
Zhao Gao didn't dare to be half-hearted, mainly because Ying Changan was too evil.
He could predict the past and the future just by talking about books.
If he knew that he hadn't done his best, he might be the protagonist of the story in the Book House next time.
At the thought of this…
Zhao Gao felt his scalp go numb.
After the stories of Li Shimin, Wu Meiniang, Wang Jian, Xu Fu, and Liu Bang, Ying Chang 'an had long been regarded as a little fairy with magical power.
As long as he said a few bad things about Zhao Gao when he was telling the story, Zhao Gao would probably be dead.
Ying Zheng didn't even need to make a move. With millions of people in Xianyang City, each of them could drown him with a mouthful of saliva!
"Nineteenth Prince…He actually knows me?”
Lu Zhi was somewhat absent-minded.
" You must be joking," Zhao Gao said with a faint smile." In the story of the Nineteenth Prince, you were the white moonlight in many people's hearts."”
White moonlight?
Lu Zhi's pretty face turned red and she was a little shy.
That's right.
How could I forget?
Didn't he already know about my existence when he was telling the story the last time?
"Big sister, congratulations, you've actually been chosen by the nineteenth prince.”
Lu Xiaomei was also happy for her sister.
Old Master Lu, who was beside him, couldn't close his mouth.
For a commoner ant like them to actually be taken in by the most noble prince of the imperial family, that was simply like smoke rising from their ancestral graves.
The eyes of Pei County's villagers were burning with passion.
Of course, he was envious!
In a small place like theirs, to be able to catch the prince's eye was already a leap to the heavens.
Not to mention that the Nineteenth Prince, who had the highest reputation among the princes, won Chang 'an!
If his daughter could catch his eye, not to mention a small place like Pei County, even in the capital Xianyang, she could do whatever she wanted for the rest of her life.
Royal relatives!
Thinking of these words, many people's hearts pounded, and their eyes were so red that they were about to bleed.
"Great Grandfather Lu is really lucky."
"That's right, he wanted his daughter to marry Liu Bang back then. Fortunately, Miss Lu Zhi dared to resist. Otherwise, his entire family would have lost their lives today.”
"On the importance of having a good daughter.”
The villagers discussed animatedly.
Her tone was more or less filled with envy and jealousy.
From today onwards, the Lu family was the most prestigious family in Pei County, no, in the entire Shandong region.
What did he mean by ascending to the heavens in one step?
This was called reaching the heavens in one step!
"Our mission has been completed. The Nineteenth Prince ordered me to leave some people behind to protect the girl's family.”
Zhao Gao didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.
"Milord, please wait!"
Lu Zhi called out to Zhao Gao.
"Young Lady, is there anything else?"
Zhao Gao stopped.
"I…I want to go back to Xianyang with you and thank the Nineteenth Prince in person!”
Lu Zhi boldly said.
She, who was born unwilling to be ordinary, keenly sensed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She wanted to see Prince Ying Chang 'an.
Even if he was only a child now, Lu Zhi did not care.
What happened to the child?
It would be fine when he grew up!
However, if he missed this opportunity, even if he waited another hundred years, he would never have such an opportunity again.
This was Lu Zhi!
In order to achieve his goal, he did not care about what others thought of him.
"This…"
Zhao Gao frowned slightly.
He instinctively wanted to refuse because he really didn't want to get involved in the trouble of winning Chang 'an.
However, when he thought about how Ying Changan would torture him, Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It was as if he had eaten a fly in his mouth, but he braced himself and agreed.
"Alright, since Young Lady has such intentions, then I will be a good person to the end.”
Zhao Gao said with a smile.
I've already helped you with such a big favor. Isn't it reasonable to be treated as a good person?
"Thank you, my lord!"
Lu Zhi was overjoyed, his eyes filled with gratitude.
She didn't care if Zhao Gao was a good person or a bad person. At least for now, this person was her ladder to climb up!
The next morning.
Lu Zhi followed Zhao Gao and left Pei County.
Lyu Xiaomei stayed behind to take care of Old Mr. Lyu.
Almost all of Pei County's villagers went out to welcome them.
They all took the 'gifts' that they had carefully prepared and rushed to give them to Lu Zhi.
The rich and powerful families gave him a lot of money.
Those from ordinary families also tried their best to bring out the best things in their homes.
As for the commoners with average family backgrounds, tears streamed down their faces and they were reluctant to part.
Looking at the scene, it seemed like their biological daughter had left.
"Young Lady has quite a good reputation in the local area.”
Zhao Gaoling wanted to laugh when he saw this scene.
"Milord must be joking. As the saying goes, once a person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. I know what they mean.”
Lu Zhi smiled and stopped talking.
Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. He secretly thought highly of this beautiful vase.
Ying Chang 'an's devilish brat really had good taste.
This Lu Zhi was only a young girl, but she could understand the ways of the human heart. She understood that these people sent her off ten miles away only because she had made a meteoric rise.
In the future, when these people came to the capital, if there was anything urgent, wouldn't Lu Zhi have to return the favor?
The ways of the world had been like this since ancient times.
The carriage left Pei County and headed west towards Xianyang City.
On the way.
A group of refugees ran into Zhao Gao's caravan on the road, and they all avoided them with envy in their eyes.
"Big brother, these people are obviously from rich families. The people pulling the carriage are all tall horses with pure mane.”
A burly man with a curly beard licked his dry lips.
If the people from Pei County were here, they would definitely recognize this person.
Fan Kuai!
Standing next to him was Liu Bang!
After receiving Xiao He's letter, Liu Bang learned that the world was in chaos. He immediately led his brothers away from Mount Mang Dang and prepared to return to Pei County to raise the flag of righteousness.
"Sooner or later, I'll definitely ride a four-horse carriage like this!”
Liu Bang curled his lips in disdain. He waved his hand and said loudly,""Brothers, work harder. We're about to return to our hometown. Father, mother, and daughter-in-law are all waiting for us!”
"Good!"
The people from Pei County who had followed Liu Bang to Mount Mangdang echoed loudly, feeling that their legs had become stronger.
In less than two hours.
The group of people returned to Pei County.
"Hahaha, my fellow villagers, I, Liu Bang, am back! Why aren't you coming out to welcome me?"
As soon as he stepped into the city gate, Liu Bang's tail began to rise to the sky. His face was red as if he had made a fortune outside.
However, the streets were deserted and sparsely populated.
The few people who were left immediately ran away as soon as they saw Liu Bang return, as if they had seen a ghost.
"What happened?"
Liu Bang scratched his head in confusion.
"Big brother, I think the world is in chaos and the villagers are all scared. Since we're back, we'll directly occupy Pei County and let the villagers see that we've grown our abilities!”
Fan Kuai said cheekily.
"Hahaha, you really have an idea!”
Liu Bang laughed happily.
"Big brother, big brother, something bad has happened!”
Lu Wan scrambled over, almost losing her mind.
"What's wrong?" asked Liu Bang. What a fuss!"
"Big brother, quickly go to the front and take a look! Our families are all dead! Wuwuwu!"
Lu Wan sobbed.
" What did you say?!"
Liu Bang's expression changed drastically, and he ran forward like a madman.
In the open space not far away, hundreds of heads rolled on the ground. There was not even a corpse.
After a night of settling, the rolling blood had long turned into dark red blood stains, dyeing everywhere. It was a shocking sight.
"Wife!"
"My baby, my baby!"
"Father, Mother!"
"Sob, sob.”
The group of people who followed Liu Bang found their loved ones among the hundreds of heads. They ran forward like crazy and hugged those heads, crying bitterly.
A shrill cry resounded through the sky.
Liu Bang walked among the hundreds of heads in a daze. He saw his parents, his eldest brother and sister-in-law, his sister-in-law's entire family, his uncles, and his uncles.
In short.
Everyone who was related to Liu Bang was here.
"Ah!"
Liu Bang's eyes were bloodshot and he was on the verge of collapse.
"Who, who did this?"
He roared almost crazily, and the might of the chosen one completely erupted.
At this moment.
An old man came over shakily and cursed loudly,"Liu Bang, you traitor! How many people have you implicated in your carefree life? The government has exterminated your family and the families of the people you took away!”
Boom!
Liu Bang felt as if he had heard a thunderbolt out of the blue. His brain was about to explode.
It was the people who followed him. After they learned the truth, they all looked at him with ferocious expressions.
"Liu Bang! I want revenge for my wife and children!”
"Kill him!"
"It's all because of him. If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't have died!”
The situation took a turn for the worse.
The person who had gone through life and death with Liu Bang had become his sworn enemy at this moment!
