Chapter 380: Remembering for Many Years
Li Er looked at the drone and said with a wry smile, "Yes, this is the drone that made Qin Feng drive his mentor to death. It took me five years to make it, and I don't know if it is as good as his."
Zhang Liang looked at the drone and realized that Li Er had completely trusted him. He told Zhang Liang his story and gave the drone to Zhang Liang. Li Er knew nothing about Zhang Liang's past except his name.
If what Li Er said was not true, then he was truly horrible.
But now Zhang Liang would rather believe that Li Er treats him sincerely and that he has not lied in every word he says to him.
If Li Er had other purposes in approaching him, Zhang Liang would also have a way to make him regret everything he did. Whenever he did something, he would always hold back.
Just like a top chess player, he will never let himself fall into a desperate situation. He always holds the last move in his hand, and no matter how the game changes, it is under his control.
Zhang Liang said goodbye to Li Er and planned to say goodbye to Qin Feng. After all, he was working under Qin Feng now. Although he didn't need to intervene in the project, he should still inform Qin Feng before leaving. If he left without saying goodbye, Qin Feng would inevitably be unhappy.
Qin Feng just said those words to him yesterday, so it was reasonable for him to leave today.
Qin Feng watched Zhang Liang come back after a night, and said with a smile: "I knew you would come back."
"Let me guess, are you coming back to say goodbye to me this time?" Qin Feng said with a smile on his face, which shocked Zhang Liang. How did he know? How did he know? Is there really something wrong with Li Er?
"Yes." This was the only answer Zhang Liang could give.
"No need to go. There have been unusual situations in various places recently. The consultant said that I need to patrol various places to ensure the stability of the company." Qin Feng said.
Is this day coming so soon?
Legend has it that before Qin Feng passed away, various strange phenomena appeared, foreshadowing his death.
A meteor fell in the eastern region, which was the border between Qi and Qin. The falling of the meteorite was not scary, but the words engraved on the meteorite were "Qin Shi Huang Died and the Land Divided". It indicated that Qin Shi Huang would die and the Qin Empire would fall.
After Qin Feng learned about it, he immediately sent a special commissioner to the place where the meteorite fell, and checked house by house to find the person who had engraved the words, but found nothing.
Furious, Qin Feng ordered that all residents near the meteorite be executed and the inscribed meteorite be destroyed immediately. However, even so, the meteorite had weighed on Qin Feng's mind.
He was very anxious, so he was so eager to find a way to live forever...
Recently, a strange story has been circulating in the city. Late one night, a courier boy was walking on the street and passed through Huayin. He was suddenly stopped by a stranger holding a jade pendant. The man said to him: "Please help me pass this to Mr. Gaochi and tell him that the 'Zulong' will die this year."
The courier was confused, and the mysterious man had already disappeared into the night. He reported the matter to Ying Zheng. When Ying Zheng heard it, his first reaction was that "Zu Long" was referring to himself, but he claimed to the outside world that "Zu Long" was a symbol of his ancestors.
Afterwards, he ordered someone to send the jade pendant to the appraisal department, and it turned out that this jade pendant was the one he threw into the river twenty-eight years ago when he was crossing the river for a tour to pray to the water god.
Why was the jade pendant used to offer sacrifice to the water god ten years ago returned by a person of unknown origin? This made Ying Zheng uneasy.
The fortune teller suggested that Ying Zheng should travel around the countries and suppress the evil spirits with the spirit of a king, so as to prevent the prophecy from coming true. However, when Zhang Liang heard this, he silently counted down for Ying Zheng in his heart.
According to historical records, Ying Zheng died on his sixth trip. Things were developing so quickly that Ying Zheng had little time left, and Zhang Liang's plan could not be delayed.
"You, accompany me on the trip." Ying Zheng finally decided, "We will set off in three days."
"Okay." Zhang Liang replied.
Zhang Liang no longer shirked his responsibility. As long as he stayed by Ying Zheng's side, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai would not be able to take advantage of him. As long as Ying Zheng lived one more day, his power would become stronger.
"You agreed so readily..." Ying Zheng's condition had improved compared to the previous few days, and he still had the energy to talk with Zhang Liang, "Hmm?" Zhang Liang was a little surprised when he heard this. Had he been hesitant when facing Ying Zheng before?
"I just remembered an old friend." Ying Zheng said, "You always remind me of him. Your names are similar, and your figures are quite similar, but he looks like him more than ten years ago. If he is still alive, he should be about my age."
"Which old friend is it?" Zhang Liang was very interested. Since Ying Zheng was willing to mention it, he might as well listen. He was very curious about who this old friend was.
"You should have heard of his name. His name is Zhang Liang, with the courtesy name Zifang. He is a Korean noble and a descendant of Taoism. He once came to the Qin State. He was very courageous and showed no fear in the face of me. He also refused my official position and title without hesitation..." Ying Zheng recalled and told the story slowly.
Zhang Liang remembered this incident. At that time, he was not tempted by Ying Zheng's high position and generous salary. He was only interested in pursuing the way to immortality, and official positions had no appeal to him at all.
"He also predicted that Qin would unify the six kingdoms." Ying Zheng said, with a hint of regret in his tone, "Now that Qin has unified the six kingdoms, he has disappeared. Maybe he has passed away, or maybe he has become a real immortal."
"If I really become an immortal, maybe I can meet him again." Ying Zheng walked up to Zhang Liang and handed him the wine glass on the table. "If you can really help me, I will appoint you as the prime minister of Daqin."
In fact, the person Ying Zheng had always wanted to see was right in front of him. Zhang Liang did not expect that his behavior would make Ying Zheng worry about him for many years.
Zhang Liang was not sure whether he could become an immortal. But fifteen years had passed since he came out of the inheritance path, and he still looked the same as he did fifteen years ago. It was as if time had stopped for him.
"You desire to become an immortal. Apart from desire, is there any other reason?" Zhang Liang spoke out of turn. How could Ying Zheng possibly admit to such a question?
"Maybe." Ying Zheng whispered, but Zhang Liang still heard it, "I just don't know if I can wait until that day."
Zhang Liang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He thought that Ying Zheng would not have any improper thoughts about him.
"What would you say if you saw him again?" Zhang Liang asked.
"I'll probably tell him that Qin has unified the six kingdoms as he predicted."
"What will you do if you never see him again?" Zhang Liang asked again.
Ying Zheng sighed: "It will be very regrettable."
After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Zhang Liang became even more confused. What on earth was Ying Zheng thinking?
According to the time, this should be Ying Zheng's fifth tour. Zhang Liang did not stay in the palace for long, and left after a few perfunctory words. Seeing this, Ying Zheng had no intention of keeping him and took the initiative to let him go.
Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the palace. Ying Zheng was acting very abnormally today. Did he realize something? Otherwise, how could he explain his remarks today?
