The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 377 The most suitable candidate

As soon as these people walked out of the darkness, they tore off the ordinary clothes used to conceal their identities, revealing the black tight combat suits underneath.

This clothing is designed specifically for combat and can minimize external interference.

As expected, he came prepared, Zhang Liang thought to himself.

If he walked around Xianyang like this, he wouldn't offend anyone or attract attention. So the only possible person was Zhao Gao...

Zhao Gao was so impatient that he sent such a group of professional killers over not long after they met.

Is it preparation for a rainy day, or is it cruel and ruthless? He would rather kill the innocent than let go of any possible threat.

The top priority right now is to deal with this group of killers.

"Fei Yu, let's have a contest."

"Compared to what?"

"Let's compare..." Zhang Liang's eyes were stern, "who can kill more people!" As soon as he finished speaking, he started to act.

"Hey, how could you take action first!" Feiyu said, and immediately joined the battle, kicking a black-clad bodyguard away.

Seeing this, several bodyguards in black stopped hesitating and started fighting.

Zhang Liang and Fei Yu are extremely powerful, but these black-clad bodyguards are well-trained and their attacks are decisive.

There were about a dozen of them, and they were very agile, but they had no chance of winning against Zhang Liang and Fei Yu.

At first, the two sides were evenly matched, with each side attacking and defending. Gradually, the situation began to tilt, and soon all the bodyguards in black were subdued to the ground.

"You guys go, I won't make things difficult for you." Zhang Liang clapped his hands, said casually, then turned and left with Feiyu, leaving the embarrassed black-clad bodyguards looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What should we do now? Should we give chase?" suggested one of the bodyguards in black. His hands and feet were severely injured by Zhang Liang in the previous fight. He could hardly move, let alone chase Zhang Liang.

But he was forced by Zhao Gao, and out of loyalty to the order, he had to say so. The meaning of his existence was to fight, and if he lost this value, let alone whether Zhao Gao would let them go, he himself would not be able to face the guilt in his heart.

"Don't chase them. Chasing after them will only lead to death. Those two are really strong. We are no match for them." A bodyguard in black wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice.

"But if we go back like this, Lord Zhao will definitely not let us go."

"This mission is impossible to complete even if you risk your life. It is better to go back and report the truth to Lord Zhao. Maybe you can save your life."

After some discussion, they decided to return to Zhao's house to report.

In the suburbs of the city, there were few people and no police surveillance. Zhang Liang and Fei Yu had returned to their original appearance and were walking on the path.

"Zhang Liang, is it true that Zhao Gao has become suspicious of us? Otherwise, why would he send assassins to deal with us?" Fei Yu asked Zhang Liang.

"Well, it seems that Zhao Gao does have some tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, why would he be so concerned about someone we only met once?" Zhang Liang pondered.

The fact that Zhao Gao could sense the threat posed by Zhang Liang showed that he was indeed capable. However, he was indeed extraordinary in that he could rise from an ordinary guard to the position of the Minister of the Imperial Chariots.

If Zhao Gao made further slanderous remarks to King Ying Zheng of Qin, his plan would probably be ruined.

However, he had already given Ying Zheng a heads-up, warning him to be wary of Zhao Gao and believing that Ying Zheng would not easily believe Zhao Gao's words.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang felt a little relieved.

On the way, he suddenly changed his mind. He originally planned to let Li Zhenghong, the scarred man from the Mohist school, leave Xianyang with them and go to Langya to develop their power.

Now it seems that it is better to let them stay in Xianyang and be responsible for the construction of the underground palace. On the surface, they are building a mausoleum for Ying Zheng and building a platform for ascension.

Secretly, it was built for Zhang Liang, right in Xianyang, at the feet of the King of Qin, to develop and consolidate his power. When he was fully fledged in Langya, he would return to Xianyang.

It was from this underground palace that Ying Zheng was sent to the mausoleum that he built with his own hands.

Zhang Liang thought about it, and in a good mood, he prepared to walk towards the city gate. When he was about to reach the city, he changed his appearance again.

"Zhang Liang, are we leaving the city?" Fei Yu asked when he saw Zhang Liang smiling.

When Feiyu saw Zhang Liang's appearance changed, he also changed his appearance.

"Of course," Zhang Liang replied casually.

"Then do we still need to go to Langya?" Feiyu looked at Zhang Liang and continued to ask.

"If you want to go, why not?" Zhang Liang asked Feiyu, not understanding why she had such a question.

"But Ying Zheng wants to build an underground palace. If we go to Langya, what should we do with the underground palace?" Fei Yu raised a question.

That’s right, if they went to Langya, there would be no one to supervise the progress of the underground palace, and Ying Zheng wouldn’t be able to see them, so he would definitely become suspicious.

"You have a lot of thoughts in your little head." Zhang Liang gently touched Feiyu's head, as if to praise him.

Feiyu dodged and turned to the side.

"Of course, I'm very smart, okay." Feiyu replied, not sure whether he was angry or happy.

"Okay, I'll tell you now." Zhang Liang stopped and looked at Feiyu, saying seriously, "Confucian scholars have already gone to Langya. They will use their knowledge to persuade the knowledgeable people there to join us."

"Langya has produced many talented people since ancient times and has a large population. If they succeed, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"And now, I went to see Ying Zheng and proposed to build an underground palace, so that when we have enough manpower, we can rush into Xianyang from the underground palace and catch him off guard."

"And Li Er is the most suitable person to supervise the construction of the underground palace."

After hearing this, Feiyu gradually understood. What she guessed was just the tip of the iceberg, and Zhang Liang was playing a big game, and now was the time to lay out the plan.

After listening to Zhang Liang's explanation, Feiyu admired Zhang Liang even more.

"Then why let Li Er supervise the construction of the underground palace?" This was Feiyu's last question.

Zhang Liang smiled and said that Li Er was the key figure in the construction of the entire underground palace.

"Do you still remember that he is a member of the Mohist school?" Zhang Liang asked back.

"Of course I understand."

"Then, do you know why the Mohist School is famous in this prosperous city?"

Feiyu scratched his head. He was not sure about this question. "Is it technology?" He thought about it and asked cautiously.

"That's not the case." Zhang Liang shook his head and continued to explain without leaving any doubts. "In this prosperous city, the most famous science is undoubtedly law. And the most famous thing about the Mohist School is the world-renowned Mohist Intelligent Technology. For the construction of underground facilities, Li Er is the most suitable person."

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Feiyu suddenly realized.

This is the real reason why Zhang Liang asked Li Er to stay. It was really...well thought out.

"Do you understand now?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask when he saw Feiyu was stunned.

Zhang Liang had not originally planned to tell Feiyu this, as he did not want to complicate his life. However, it was not good to keep him in the dark, so after thinking about it, he decided to tell him.

"Yeah, I understand." Feiyu replied.

After everything was settled, the two of them walked quickly towards the city gate.
