Chapter 143
In the small forest outside Xianyang City, the trees are full of shadows, and the evening breeze is gentle.

On the forest path, a carriage was parked there,

Gouzi crossed his arms and looked towards the end of the road from time to time.

Seeing that the moon was rising higher and higher, the agreed time was almost over, and there was still no one on the road.

After waiting for another half an hour, the dog couldn't bear it any longer, gritted his teeth, and drove towards the city gate of Xianyang.

Looking at the closed city gate in front of him, after thinking about it, he folded his clothes and lay down in the car.

……

This night, as long as he was lying on the bed, Han Cheng would see Zhang Liang appearing in front of his eyes covered in blood.

After a few times, I couldn't lie down anymore, so I got up and started pacing in the hall.

If you want to go out, there is already a curfew in the city.

In the fidgeting, finally got the light of day.

He hurriedly got into the carriage and left the house.

……

The old Xun's mansion of Chu State.

The Patriarchs of the Three Great Aristocratic Families of Old Chu, Qu Feng, Jing Ji, and Zhao Yu were sitting in the hall.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Jing Ji frowned and asked.

"Did there be any movement last night?"

The two shook their heads at the same time.

Jing Ji frowned, thinking secretly in his heart.

Such a big thing happened, according to the emperor's temper, how could there be no movement at all?

Even if Zhang Liang is killed, the soldiers must be ordered to hunt down the culprits!

Now that one night has passed, Xianyang City is actually so peaceful...

Qu Feng thought for a moment and asked.

"Haven't they acted yet?"

Zhao Yu shook his head.

"It shouldn't be. According to Han Cheng's tone yesterday, that Zhang Liang is determined to die..."

Puzzled, Qu Feng waved his hand.

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, no matter what, it will come to fruition in a few days!"

"Besides, let him go to find out the truth. Even if the matter is revealed, he is probably dead, so naturally he won't find out about us..."

The other two thought about it, and they were right.

It would be best if Zhang Liang could succeed, and they would be able to follow behind immediately to fish in troubled waters.

But it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, anyway, he's just an insignificant character and won't affect their plans.

At this moment, the servants came to report Han Cheng's arrival.

The three of them looked at each other and said in their hearts, here we come!

Han Cheng ran in in a panic, sat down and drank a glass of water, and said anxiously.

"What should I do? I'm afraid Zhang Liang has been exposed, and Ying Zheng will definitely kill me next time, so you all have to find a way to save me!"

Looking at each other, the three of them didn't answer his words.

Qu Feng looked at Han Cheng suspiciously and asked.

"Brother Han, don't worry, talk slowly, what's wrong with Zhang Liang?"

After sorting out his thoughts, Han Cheng began to narrate.

"Last night, Zhang Liang was supposed to assassinate Yingzheng, but there is no news until now... I think he has probably been killed..."

Nodding his head, Qu Feng asked again.

"I remember Brother Han said when he came yesterday that Zhang Liang had already left your mansion. In that case, how can you be sure that he went to assassinate you?"

"This...I..."

After stumbling and uttering two words, Han Cheng couldn't continue.

Feeling, it's just a feeling!
Although he didn't get any clear news, he just knew that Zhang Liang had done it!
But how do you explain this to the three people in front of you?
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Han Cheng looked at Qu Feng eagerly.

"Three, I know you have been operating in Chudi for a long time, why don't you send me there, Xianyang really can't stay any longer!"

Qu Feng chuckled and patted the back of his hand.

"Brother Han, don't worry, whether to go to Chu will be discussed later, can you tell me first, how did you determine that Zhang Liang had assassinated Ying Zheng?"

Han Cheng began to sweat again on his forehead.

"Brother Qu, didn't I tell you yesterday? Zhang Liang has bid farewell to me! If he didn't have the will to die, he wouldn't be like this..."

Qu Feng waved his hands and looked at him gently.

"Brother Han, there is no definite news, why are you so anxious? Go back home and wait with peace of mind..."

Han Cheng looked at him in despair.

He already had a premonition that the god of death was staring at him not far away.

He is afraid, really afraid!

Just when he was about to say a few more words, a servant walked in.

Glancing at Han Cheng, he bowed and said.

"My lord, a man who calls himself Zhang Liang Shutong is asking to see him outside."

"Come in quickly!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the dog ran in crying and knelt down at Han Cheng's feet.

"Master, please save my son..."

Surprised to see him appearing in front of him, Han Cheng thought he was dazzled.

Seeing him crying again, the bad feeling became stronger and stronger.

However, there was also a trace of expectation in his heart, hoping that Zhang Liang would not assassinate Ying Zheng.

Poured a glass of water and handed it to him, said.

"Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly!"

Wiping the tear stains on his face with his sleeve, he swallowed the water and choked up.

"I, my son, he, he is gone..."

In a word, the four people in the hall were confused.

You say he died or ran away, we can all understand.

Even if you say that he was timid and didn't go for the assassination, we can accept it.

But what does 'disappeared' mean? Can it disappear out of thin air?

The impatient Jing Ji moved closer to Gouzi and asked.

"Oh, don't cry, hurry up and tell me why your young master disappeared?"

After calming down a little, Gouzi continued.

"Yesterday night, the young master brought his strong men and many dead men from Han to ambush on the only way that Yingzheng must pass."

"The younger one was arranged by the young master to pick him up outside the city, and he had originally agreed to wait until Zishi at the latest, but until now, he has not seen the young master...

"I beg you, save my young master!"

After hearing Gouzi's words, Han Cheng immediately slumped on the ground.

I thought to myself, it's over, he went, he really went.

Thinking of the words Zhang Liang asked him before leaving, Han Cheng was very annoyed.

Although he wanted to restore the country, he didn't want to use his own life to restore the country!
At first he thought that Zhang Liang's assassination would succeed, but now that he failed, he realized that he was too anxious.

You should plan more, and go with full confidence.

Looking at the moment, not only did Zhang Liang lose his life, even he himself was about to die...

Glancing at Han Cheng's listless expression, Jing Ji curled his lips in disdain.

No wonder South Korea will be the first to be annexed by Qin. Look at the virtue of this young man in front of him, it will be hell if he is not destroyed!

Turning to look at Gouzi, he asked.

"Are you sure Zhang Liang went to assassinate Yingzheng?"

Gouzi nodded, wiped away his tears and said.

"Just now, just now, I went to the scene to see the young one. Although, although no corpse was found, but, I saw blood stains in the grass... Wuwuwu, Mr. Jing, please save my son!"

Jing Ji raised his head and looked at the other two Patriarchs, then shook his head secretly.

Now it can be confirmed that Zhang Liang really went.

He also knew that his plan had failed.

Otherwise, even if Ying Zheng was only injured, Xianyang City would not be so peaceful!

Glancing at Han Cheng regretfully, the three of them shook their heads secretly.

This chess piece is useless!

Seeing their eyes, Han Cheng panicked.

"Three, there are still many dead men in Handi, as long as you save me, it will be a great help..."

Before finishing speaking, the servant hurried into the hall again!
