Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

"Can Da... Datong really be realized?"

In the dim room, there were people standing around, surrounding the old man in the center.

There was reluctance in the old man's eyes, but it was not the reluctance of his dying body, but the reluctance of being unable to continue chasing his dream. He hated himself for finding a dream worth pursuing for the rest of his life only at an advanced age.

"Grandpa, Mr. Zhang is here."

A middle-aged man walked into the house and whispered in the old man's ear.

A glimmer of light flashed through the old man's cloudy eyes.

"You guys go down and let me and sir stay for a while."

The men and women around did not dare to disobey and dispersed crying.

After a moment, a man in black robe walked in. His face was hidden in the shadows, and his beard was occasionally illuminated by the light, reflecting a dark gray.

"Old Li, long time no see."

Zhang Liang opened his hood and looked at Li Shiqi dying on the bed, he was filled with emotion.

Along the way, there were many things he couldn't change, but he also changed a lot.

When he was in Pengcheng, the Datong sect he casually made up became the goal of Li Shiqi's lifelong efforts. Later, Han Xin even asked Liu Bang to borrow someone to make peace with Qi King Tian Guang, but Li Shiqi rejected him because he was old and weak.

"Sir, you are finally here."

When Zhang Liang was sighing, Li Shiqi also stared at him.

"We haven't seen each other for many years."

Zhang Liang nodded.

Since Xiang Yu committed suicide on the Huaihe River, he has been raising troops from all over to prepare to find the Xiongnu. He did cause some losses to the small Xiongnu troops heading south, but that was all.

The Xiongnu in this world are even more powerful than those in the previous life. All the countries in the Western Regions were killed and wiped out by the Qin army in the west. At that time, the Central Plains was caught in the flames of war and there was no time to care. The territory of the Western Regions was swallowed up by Wusun and the Xiongnu.

This is the evil consequences Zhang Liang brought to the Central Plains, but it is also beneficial.

Because the Qin Dynasty left, the internal strife in the Central Plains was not as strong as before. Although the newly established Han Dynasty was much weaker than the Xiongnu, it was not without the ability to protect itself.

To use an analogy.

The peak force value of the Qin Dynasty was 10. It defeated the six countries and defeated the Huns in the north. No one could stop it. The Xiongnu force value at the same time was 4. It was driven to close to 3 by Li Mumengtian. They retreated further north and did not dare to go south. After the Xiongnu developed, after acquiring the Western Region, their force value was close to 9, which can only be said to be very strong.

The Han Dynasty has just been unified, and all wastes have been restored. Although the force value is only 5 now, it has great potential, develops faster, has the ability to resist, and has a promising future.

"Sir, where have you been all these years?"

Li Shiqi asked.

Zhang Liang couldn't answer. He looked at Li Shiqi's face and sighed in his heart. He didn't have a few more days to live.

"Come on, sir, since you don't want to say more, then I won't say anything."

As people get older, they lose sight of many things, Li Shiqi continued.

"Sir, I haven't met the Datong Sect in these years. However, I have trained some people for the Datong Sect. I hope you will not give up."

Outside the door, the middle-aged man who had just left came in with a few children.

He bowed to Zhang Liang and left the room.

"The name of the first child is Kong Kai, and he is from the Kong family. I think that Confucianism has some similarities with the theory of Datong, so I recruited a disciple."

The child who was pointed out was startled and saluted Zhang Liang.

"the second……"

There were not many children, only five, but when it came to the fourth person, Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly.

"This kid is actually Jia Yi?!"

Zhang Liang looked at the child who was only six or seven years old, feeling secretly surprised.

Jia Yi, who became famous at a young age, studied under Zhang Cang, the Prime Minister of Ji, and Zhang Cang had two senior brothers, one of whom was named Han Feizi, and the other was named Li Si...

This is really, fate, wonderful...

Zhang Liang was slanderous.

"Sir, I can't survive these two days. Can you help me teach them?"

After the introduction, Li Shiqi asked.

Zhang Liang couldn't say no.

The sect that he mentioned casually that day, such a grand ideal, cannot be achieved by a few generations, but it is suitable for him and Bai Shu to run. In theory, they have unlimited lifespan and can constantly correct it.

"good."

Zhang Liang left.

In the same year, Han Xin was liquidated for his arrogance and the Battle of Gaixia, and died under the cloud of rebellion.

It was Empress Lu and Chen Ping who planned to kill him.

When Liu Bang learned about it afterwards, he was filled with grief and even scolded Empress Lu angrily, but nothing could be saved.

"99%?"

On this day, I will return to Chang'an.

The city of Chang'an was as prosperous as ever, but it was cast under a cloud because the man in the highest position had been ill for many days and was often in coma.

The emperor was seriously ill and the people were panicked.

Afraid of returning to troubled times.

"The last bit of imitation, is this one?"

Zhang Liang sighed lightly and entered the imperial city wearing a black hood.

Outside the gate of the imperial city, he met two people, who were waiting for him.

"Sir, long time no see."

Xiao He was old and leaning on his crutch, looking at Zhang Liang in a daze.

After he ascended the throne, in terms of merit and rewards, the emperor once said that he was the one with the greatest merit, but Xiao He knew that the man in front of him was the one with the highest merit, but since he was in the capital, this greatest meritorious official had never entered Chang'an. This time I passed by in a hurry, as if I was afraid or had bad luck.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see."

Zhang Liang returned the greeting and looked at the other person.

The man was middle-aged, with a strange appearance and two beards on his lips.

"Brother Zhang, long time no see."

he laughed.

"Brother Chen Ping, we haven't seen each other for many years."

The two seemed to meet by chance, without saying much, Chen Ping said goodbye and left, seemingly friendly, but actually scheming.

Empress Lü had previously wanted to win over Zhang Liang, but was secretly blocked by Liu Bang. After searching the world to no avail, she found Chen Ping to help her and removed Han Xin, the king of a different surname who posed the greatest threat.

Zhang Liang stood there and chatted with Xiao He.

The latter had already resigned and passed the position of prime minister to Cao Shen, and now he was concentrating on his retirement.

"Sir, are you going to see the emperor?"

Xiao He asked.

Zhang Liang nodded.

"The emperor is ill and may not live long, sir, please be careful."

Zhang Liang actually had some concerns. Liu Bang seemed open-minded back then, but in fact he had already shown the style of a heroic lord. Later, he eliminated kings of different surnames such as Peng Yue and Lu Wan, and enfeoffed his sons as kings of the same surname, which was also evident.

This trip was dangerous, and Zhang Liang was not sure whether he could leave Chang'an alive, but he had to come.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more."

Xiao He was helped away by his descendants, and Zhang Liang went straight into the imperial city.

Eunuchs were already waiting in the palace. When they saw Zhang Liang, they first looked at him and looked at the sword hanging on his waist.

"Mr. Zhang, you cannot wear a sword in the palace!"

He said in a shrill voice.

Zhang Liang took off his sword and handed it to the other party.

If Liu Bang wanted to kill him, with his martial arts, even if he could drag some people to die with him, he would not be able to escape far, and it would make no difference whether he had a sword or not.

The eunuch was satisfied and led Zhang Liang to continue into the palace.

The emperor was ill, and people outside the palace were panicked, not to mention the palace, which had already sunk into a cold atmosphere.

The palace wall was desolate, and after a while, they arrived in front of a hall.
